SEOMiracle.com held a webinar where they shared top 10 Facebook insights that could significantly help in generating traffic to a website.
Miami, Fl (PRWEB) December 07, 2012
Every week, all business owners that have a Facebook business page, receive an email which is titled with the following sentence: "Your weekly Facebook page update". This is a simple report that shows the number of new "likes" for the week, as well as other statistics. Some of the most important information in the report is how many people are talking about the page and the percentage of the change from the last week. Recent survey from SEOMiracle.com stated that very few business owners take time to click the link in the email, missing important insights about their business.
Having that in mind, SEOMiracle.com held a webinar where they talked about the importance of going through the report and identifying problems and successes.
SEOMiracle.com is one of the leading SEO companies in the United States that is constantly available to its customers. At SEOMiracle.com, they go above and beyond for their clients by offering not only reliable and fast SEO services, but also a complex system which helps in reporting about the client's SEO work.
Joshua Hood, CEO and a co-founder of SEOMiracle.com, was the main speaker at the event who gave a quick overview of the things he would talk about:
"I can't say enough how important is to use Facebook in generating traffic and leads. One of the biggest benefits business owners lose are the weekly Facebook page reports that no one reads which give terrific insights on how to raise the traffic flow. I will mention a few post types that drive the most traffic, what gender and age of the people who like the page means, as well as which cities send me most traffic. There are 10 Facebook insights in total that will help in getting more traffic to your website and converting it into sale."

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Alice, the inventor of one of the newest beauty products on the market: Lash Cards. They are cards designed to make the application of mascara easier, less messy, and leave your lashes clump free.
The card has a curve on either end of each a different width for various eye shapes. You place the card on your eye lids and gently lift then proceed with applying the mascara of your choice. No more little place track marks left on your eyelids.
Alice's Lash Card was based on a make-up artist's DIY "business card" trick but the inconvenience and flimsy paper inspired her to seek other ways. She wants to create beauty products that are convenient and cost-friendly for women.
On the Lash Card website it says they are ideal for: Separating lashes, layering mascara, bottom lashes, reapplication, and maximizing curl.
I just got my pack of Lash Cards ($4.99 for a pack of 10) and I can't wait to try them!
Is this a product you would buy, Lovelies?

Product Reviews
Pennington 20" Self Rimming Lavatory with Single Faucet Hole
Great service
I had visited several bath showrooms in NJ, looking for this sink in the Almond color. The showrooms told me it would take 6 weeks or longer, and the price was nearly double the cost here. Once I found this site, I placed the order and had my new sink within just days, at a reasonable price, and free shipping. Will definitely be back to shop here again!
September 24, 2011
Happy with Service
The sink came promptly and packaged securely. I am very happy with my purchase.
April 20, 2011
Great Product
My order was handled efficiently and quickly. I ordered 2 Kohler lavatory sinks, they were delivered within 24 hours of placing the order and were in perfect condition. They were packed securely and sustained no damage in transit. We have installed the sinks and are 100% pleased with their appearance and functionality. I would definitely order from faucet direct again.
April 17, 2011
Good Value
Nice sink, easy installation and compliments most any decore or theme. When it arrives do check for surface blemishes that the factory may have missed.
October 12, 2010
Great Product & Great Service
I ordered three of these along with three faucets a few weeks ago. The sinks are beautiful, the pictures do not do them justice. The only complaint I could have is that one of them was broken when I received it. That's where the great service comes in. I was able to get a person on the phone without having to wait or circle around in a phone tree. The representative ordered a replacement to be sent to me & sent a return label for the damaged product at no charge to me in a 2 minute telephone call. I will definitely order from this site again & I recommend it to anyone.
August 19, 2010
These sinks are perfect. It was way cheaper to do drop in sinks and these look classy and modern. Good size, not too big, not too small.

Recorded Inferno
CD (Item 604552) Multinational, Mid 70s — Condition: New Copy
Plenty burning here – a smoking set of 70s salsa from Raphy Leavitt – one of the key figures of the Latin underground at the time! The album's got a righteous feel right from the start – thanks to the percussive overtones of "Voces Del Africa" – a great way to start the record, and a song that really sets the tone for the rest of the music to come. There's plenty of upbeat groovers – and even when the album gets mellow, there's an undercurrent of soul that really comes through in the percussion and vocals. Titles include "Ninez", "Voces Del Africa", "Soroco", "Mundo Incierto", "Danzon Guajira", and "Lejos De Ti". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Centro bus transportation center in Utica is nearly complete
-->By: Jennifer Lee
Updated: January 17, 2013
What used to be an empty lot is now a nearly complete bus station in the City of Utica. Located on 15 Elizabeth Street, the facility will be a hub for all Centro bus riders.
Officials say they'll be getting rid of five stops in Downtown Utica the first Monday of February. And for the rest of the winter season, bus riders no longer have to wait outside in the cold to get to their next destination.
Passengers of Centro say they're looking forward to staying warm and dry while waiting to catch the bus. It's expected to open in a few weeks. Not only will the new station benefit bus riders, it's expected to help drivers out on the road.
"We actually are congesting downtown Genesee Street with a lot of buses," said General Manager of Centro of Oneida, Ronald Bucciero.
And with the new hub, it will be safer for passengers crossing four lanes of traffic to catch their next bus.
"I guess I'm looking forward to not having to dodge across the street. Because sometimes when I transfer buses from a shopping trip and imp burdened down, we cross in the middle of the street. So, I'm looking forward to the safety," said one frequent bus rider, Kathryn Nikodem.
Bus stops at Franklin Square, Lafayette Street, Elizabeth Street and stops in front of APEC and the Radisson Hotel will be no more.
Instead, commuters who usually would get on at those five stops will be getting on at the new transportation center.
"It's going to be a well-lit facility and have security in it," said Bucciero.
And officials say it will be a big convenience all around. Commuters will have access to a ticket vending machine, customer service and a place to do "business."
"Right now currently in downtown waiting for our bus I know customers have knocked on private businesses to use their facilities. This facility will have public bathrooms. It's actually for our bus operators who are out to even use the rest room facilities," said Bucciero.
Eyewitness News did not hear from any bus riders who are not in favor of this facility.

Google Ads Now Handle App Download Links
Google AdWords advertisers can now include mobile app download links in search ads. Publishers of native Android and iOS apps will likely be thrilled.
Google has introduced a new way for its advertisers to promote native mobile apps, a move that underscores the crisis of faith among boosters of the Web as a platform.
AdWords advertisers now have the option to use the Mobile App ad extension, which allows a mobile app download link to be added to search ads delivered on mobile devices. Clicking on the link takes the user to the appropriate mobile app store so the app can be purchased and then installed directly onto the user's mobile phone. The extension serves links that are platform-appropriate, so download links for iOS apps will be shown on iOS devices and download links for Android apps will be shown on Android devices.

More >>Publishers of native Android and iOS apps are likely to be thrilled: Anything that reduces the friction of discovering and downloading mobile apps makes a tough business a bit easier. Mobile app developers have tended to avoid search advertising because it hasn't driven downloads as effectively as other options, like mobile marketing services that allow app makers to pay for installation. But a year ago, Apple disallowed pay-per-install app promotions for iOS apps, so a legitimate way to drive downloads using mobile ads could prove popular.

For the past few years, Google has been one of the loudest supporters of Web apps, having even gone so far as to proclaim "the Web has won." And why not? The company made its name in Web search and advertising.
But the success of Apple, first with its iOS App Store and then with its Mac App Store; the more recent rise of Google's own Android operating system; and Microsoft's move to turn Windows 8 into an app ecosystem have left Web app advocates wondering whether Google now sees the Web as a second-class platform.
In a comment on a Google+ discussion thread last month, Google Web developer Paul Irish gave voice to the doubts among those working with Web technology. "Native apps are eating our lunch," he wrote. "And we're spending hours arguing about syntax."
Web developer Michael Mahemoff assembled a presentation that summarizes the challenges facing Web developers at a time when so much attention is devoted to mobile apps. It notes that Facebook declared 2011 to be about HTML5 and mobile, then proceeded to drop $1 billion on native photo app Instagram.
Web development can be expected to lag behind native development until such time as hardware runs on Web technology. So far, Google's Chrome OS and Chromebooks show no sign of dethroning the major commercial desktop or mobile operating systems. But perhaps Mozilla, with its B2G project can turn things around with an open phone.
Until then, the Web at least can help companies promote their native mobile apps.

Mythological 45s (limited edition 5 X 7-inch box set)
7-inch (Item 571233) Numero, Late 50s/1960s/1970s — Condition: New Copy
A great little box set of Syl Johnson sides from Numero's epic, jaw-droppingly far-reaching Complete Mythology package! The purpose here was not only put together a beautiful, more portable vinyl sampler of the amazing 6LP/4CD complete set, they also did it to represent the breadth of Syl's soul genius and mastery of a range of styles over years. Honestly, we can't imagine how difficult it must have been to pick standout tracks to feature here, but however many blood-vessels in the brain they must have busted to choose the best, it delivers perfectly. Packaged in a white box that's sealed with custom Syl Johnson craft tape! "Do You Know What Love Is" b/w "The Love I Found in You", "My Funky Band" b/w "Sockin Soul Power", "Double Whammy" b/w "Wiggle In Your Hips", "Right On" b/w "Pt. 2", "Try My Love Again" b/w "All I Need Is Someone Like You".

All right a question for you computer literates out there. If I have a Video with lots of runs on it and I want o just get one run out and get rid of the rest what's the easy way of going about it?
if you have adobe preimere , i would recommend that..
but as an after thuoght, if you actually had that program, you wouldn't be asking the question... let me think about that....
you could try VitualDub, iv never tried it on anything other than Xvid movies, but i cant see it not working, just make sure you go to "Video > Direct Stream Copy"
Then use these little black <_ _> to select the parts of the video you dont want and press DELETE, and then save File > Save Old Format
[i think] try all the save features til you find the one that works
Hope this Helps
Alternatively standard Movie Maker would do it. Just import the video, drag it in the time line and adjust as needed.
Never been able to use Movie Maker, no matter what I do it always hangs!
M$ Movie Maker is the Devil!
OMG it is!! I hate Movie Maker. But occasionally, when it is working right, it does crop videos and resize them pretty well. I just got Ulead Video Studios 10 that works just like movie maker, but is a million times better.
In agreement. But cropping a standard video file the most easy and practical way then do it in Movie Maker.
But please don't make movies. Please.

Backed up by allies from the US Environmental Protection Agency, the Swedish Government (which buys its ethanol from Brazil), UNICA (the body representing sugar cane growers and producers), Brazilian scientists and an NGO promoting ethanol cooking stoves in Ethiopia, the Brazilian Government wanted there to be no doubt that ethanol was essential, not just for the survival of the project, but for African development and future progress on the Millennium Development Goals.
Brazil is eager to share its experience of developing ethanol with developing countries, especially those which share its vision of an ethanol-fuelled future. And it sees huge potential in Africa - which is perceived as having plenty of land available for growing crops for fuel.
Jose Miguez, head of Brazil's Interministerial Commission on Globate Climate Change, told the session that concerns about food security were ill-founded. The major factor in the 2008 food price hike had been rising oil prices, he claimed, dismissing studies that had suggested otherwise.
Concerns that increased demand for fuel crops was leading to deforestation, as a result of cattle ranchers being forced off grazing land into the Amazon were also dismissed as mere speculation. Given the limited understanding of "indirect land use change" (ILUC) - apparently the economic models used do not reflect the realities of life in Brazil - it was "premature" to act at this stage.
Brazil has land available for biofuels, the panel claimed - the country just needs to switch to more intensive cattle rearing to free up some pasture.
Unfortunately the promised dialogue failed to materialise - there were just too many wonderful examples of how useful ethanol was to find the time for more than a handful of written questions from the audience. The panel seemed surprised that these were mainly sceptical of Brazil's claims, leaving Jose Miguez to declare "you are being unfair!"

I had heard from farmers and real estate brokers that cropland values were at all-time highs in the Corn Belt, and incredibly many of the tracts of land are being paid for in cash.

Definition of Floating ribFloating rib: One of the last two ribs. A rib is said to be "floating" if it does not attach to the sternum (the breast bone) or to another rib. There are usually 12 pairs of ribs in all. Each pair of ribs is attached to the building blocks of the spine (the vertebrae) in the back. The 12 pairs of ribs consist of:
The upper three false ribs connect to the costal cartilages of the ribs just above them. The last two false ribs, however, usually have no ventral attachment (no anchor at all in front) and are called floating, fluctuating or vertebral ribs.

The cool wall
A little while back the members of our team during a week of coffee breaks came up with the following cool wall. It was a hard fought list with many arguments about the virtue of each machine, but in the end we had our definitive list of old machines. Fans of TopGear will know all about the cool wall, and know it's nothing to do with how good anything is - just that it's cool or not. So heres our list... let battle commence!
Now remember... it's how COOL they were, not how useful, or powerful. The Plus/4 is a great little machine, but I'm not gonna pretend its cool. Also machines like the Amiga 4000 were awesome! But too expensive to be cool. So there you go - thats the rules.
PS. I don't know WHY theres a huge space above the table either...

The VIC-20 is seriously uncool? Being Commodore's first colour computer, launched in Japan first and pre-dates the Sinclair ZX81? Don't think so. Get that bad-boy over to the Sub-zero wall right away, and move the Commodore 64 back one to just cool.
- 1/21/2010 6:40 pm
- Mike said...
LOL - sorry. Vic20 is def uncool. Not enough RAM to do anything useful, tiny screen and all the rest. The C64 on the other hand... best selling machine ever, with some amazing arcade quality stuff - and a sound chip that was SO cool, it's still being used by bands today!
Sorry - no contest :P - 1/22/2010 9:04 am
- Bebbers said...
So, you agree that it isn't seriuosly uncool then? Surely it's gotta be better than some of the machines which you've placed in the same category? The ROM software was also good, no? It also sold a few million machines world wide. Move it up, damn it.
- 1/22/2010 2:36 pm
Honestly, you guys totally lost touch with coolness :P
C64 is way too mainstream to be anything really cool. Who cares about the SID and what not? Mainstream is never THAT cool.
Apple II+ in subzero as well? Come on! That machine has UNCOOL written all over it. Unless you are into spreadsheets :P
Also C16 in "seriously uncool" is not doing the coolness of this machine justice.
Take "Winter Events" by Udo Gertz. How COOL is that for starters (no pun intended)?
Atari ST is definitely misplaced as well. Sure, it was something like the NERD-AMIGA but check out the French ST demo scene and you know how COOL the ST is.
Amstrad CPC 6128 Plus is a nice machine but came out way too late. Plus, there are only a very very few games out actually making use of it capabilities.
Also give NES and Sega Master System some credit. Lots of excellent games.
You know what... You should make a BIG poll for the machines and let us decide what's cool and what's not! - 1/22/2010 6:26 pm
- Bebbers said...
I agree on the poll, top five machines in order of coolness, and another list in order of uncoolness (again, five machines), but it'd need a lot of people to respond for it to be balanced. I still can't accept the very good and highly under-rated VIC-20 being in the same category as the almost-useless ZX80 when they were launched in the same year. The VIC was a machine that could grow with you (more RAM, monitor, disk drive etc...) whereas the ZX80 could definitely not and was virtually condemned a year after its' launch. Just my opinion.
Anyways, for the record, my top five sub-zero in order would be:
VIC-20 (ideal starter machine, lots of nice games, cartridge software, real keyboard, upgradable), C128D-Cr (fixed VIC-II, old SID, built-in drive, nice keyboard, C64 compatible), Amiga A500 (powerful, affordable, great graphics and superb games), Sinclair Spectrum 128+ (not an Amstrad, cool games), and finally ZX81 (in truth, utter rubbish, but so much so that it was good!).
My seriously uncool (or whatever) list, in order, would be:
Sinclair ZX80 (only integer BASIC, couldn't process an instruction *and* display the screen, flimbsy, almost unusable), Altiar 8800 (What was it?), Acorn Electron (the one that the posh kids owned to impress their teachers), IBM PC (Nuff said), and finally Amstrad CPC (or Crap Colour Computer).
The ones that just miss out are the 80xx series PETs (you know, the ones with the casing designed by Porche - how cool is that?) and the Texas TI99/4a (Yes, over-engineered, but looked superb with it's futuristic silver and black).
The debate continues... - 1/22/2010 7:49 pm
- Mike said...
The Vic20 was never that cool to begin with, and when the C64 came out it jumped to seriously uncool right away! It was LESS than a baby C64. Sorry.. def seriously uncool there.
At the time, the cool thing to have was a spectrum OR a C64. If you had anything else, it was uncool. I had a plus/4 for a few years, and I always wanted a C64, it was so much better in "almost" everyway.
The Apple II was just plain cool. The apps and games were a little pants, but it looked and felt great. And when you walked in to a room full of them, it was very cool.
LOL - C16 is actually beyond seriously uncool! Its such a bastardised version of the plus4, that it's silly! And with the Plus4 being so uncool to start with, why would ANYONE have a C16?.. SOOOO uncool. Not a bad machine.. but very uncool.
If you had an ST, you secretly wanted an Amiga. It was better in EVERY way. I used both, ST was clunky, horrible hardware, horrible OS, horrible colours. You only got one if you were into music coz it had a "free" midi port built in. The Amiga was seriously sexy, and the ST was just the competition. How the hell did Commodore manage to screw that SO badly!!
Yep. Amstrad 6128 Plus was far too late, but it was a cool little machine based on the console (which was also far too late). This is one of the border case. Its not "uncool", and it's no cool. But its more cool than uncool.
8bit Sega/Nintendo systems were (over here at anyrate), just not worth it. Home computers were where it was at. Everyone actually tried to tinker with the computer, and those that had consoles were just toying with technology. At that time.. computers were way cooler than consoles.
I love the 128, but no one wanted to know when it came out. There were compatability issues, and it was too expensive - not to mention NO software for the 128 part. Great machine, but uncool.
If you don't know what a machine is, everyone listed is a link - click it :)
BBC was uncool the one the "posh" kids got. The Electorn was the one parents got kids if they were "Normal" but wanted them to actually "learn" stuff. making it slightly cooler than a BBC - but still not a patch on the specy or C64 which is what everyone actually wanted!
As hard as it is to beleive, we had around 40-50 folk debate this over a week or so...
Remember its not how "good" a machine is or how powerful it was, but how desirable it was. How much everyone really wanted that one instead of the one they had. This makes the Vic20, Zx81 and 128+ a bit pooh. no one every wanted them. The "real" life of them was tiny - I still can't get over how BAD the vic screen was.... - 1/22/2010 9:17 pm
also consider that "island monkeys" (no offense, call me Kraut ;) ) really have a different view on everything. Beans and toast is NOT gourmet cuisine :P
Some of the machines listed were almost non-existent in continental Europe. In some markets Speccies just couldn't cut it at all. Take Germany for instance. If you got a Speccy here people actually felt more sorry for you than for the Schneider (Amstrad) CPC owners (which actually is not that bad a machine. Usually got crappy Specturm ports but the French demos kick ass). Whereas the C16 was somewhat popular here. Afterall, it was the first ALDI computer ever.
And why is the C116 cooler than the C16? The chiclet keyboard is a major pain in the butt. Though, I admit, the C116's retro chic factor beats C16 anytime NOWADAYS.
Actually, many ppl wanted an Atari ST because it had a useable PC emulator/add-on card available. This combo was quite popular. And you already mentioned the MIDI interface. Plus, the excellent black and white monitor.
Furthermore, the original Playstation should be in the subzero category, too. Some of the titles are still amazing these days. And I think more ppl wanted that one than stuff that's in subzero.
Also there actually was a LOT of cool stuff out for the ZX81. It had been used for the weirdest things and even if it's so limited it's still cool in a way.
To sum it up... I guess we all have our own views on coolness. My cool wall would definitely look a lot different. In fact, I actually wanted a plus/4 because it was cool (LOTS of colors and nice BASIC to do graphics with... none of which the C64 had). - 1/23/2010 1:02 am
- Mike said...
Well, this is very much a UK "cool wall". While we had a couple of folk from outside, most of us are from around these parts so..
The C116 feels "dinky" and "cute", while the C16 was just a big blob. Great basic etc., but has always felt a bit pooh. A friend of mine had this machine and it was okay, but on upgrading to a C64 you just felt he had a better machine. They just aren't cool.
LOL - sorry... mono monitors are never cool, not unless its used as a green screen one while hacking something. The ST was a fun machine, but everything felt a little tacky compared to the Amiga - thats just the way it is. :)
Yeah... struggled with the Playstation. It was a fab little machine, I loved it to bits! I almost wore out my RidgeRacer disk, but the lack of filtering and perspective correction on texturing meant it just didn't "look" nice. On top of this you just couldn't ignore how much BIGGER the PS2 was in popularity. So it's another border case... a little more than cool, but def not subzero. Ps2 might actually be above sub-zero...
ZX81 was a great little machine. I loved mine. It brought me into programming, and it was cheap as chips. But the keyboard and wobbly ram pack together with the horrible tap loading killed it dead. def not cool...
Yes, everyones cool wall would differ. Theres a few here I don't really agree with - I loved the PC Engine, and the "GT" (hand held one) was amazing for its time. But like I said, this was a group effort so :)
I actually think the NeoGeo should be SubZero because it was quite literally an arcade machine in your house. Great controllers and amazing games -everyone wanted one. But the price.. man.. that was just too much for the rest of the guys so its slid down a little into just "cool". - 1/23/2010 9:55 am
- Bebbers said...
I think you hit the nail right on the head there Mike: I owned a C64 and wanted a VIC-20, because I thought it was a great machine. I didn't really appreciate other technology, such as the Speccy, until Windows 95 came along, but mostly I wanted to go back to my Commodore days because things seemed to be moving entirely in the wrong direction, especially in terms of performance. Faster processors didn't seem to offer the benefits that you'd expect, and there were a whole load of compatibility and reliability problems with the world of Windows that didn't seem to exist back in the day. This was because generally your computer would work almost from the moment you switched the power on. Windows offered a whole new world of problems after it was supposed to be up and running even more troublesome than ?TAPE LOADING ERROR or the equivilent (even though I found a way to virtually elemenate it without buying a disk drive).

I had an ST. Awesome machine...hated the Amiga 500. Until i played "SuperCars 2" on a mates Amiga...christ! The intro alone made me wet my pants!! That drum solo, and the guitars... at that very moment in (1991?) i resolved to buy an A500. Less than a month later, for 80 quid, i had bought a second hand Amiga and i never looked back.
The A500 needs a coloumn of it's own on the right-side, perhaps labelled: "Seriously GodLike"
Im now waiting for a cool-wall of 16bit videogames houses...THAT will cause this blog to melt with the sheer volume of people who post up opinions! BitMap Brothers, Psygnosis, FTL, that other three-letter company...DTP? DNA? DNF? It's on the tip of my tongue... ;o) - 1/28/2010 2:25 pm

I realise this isn't the best place to ask but I'll be darned if I could find your email address on here anywhere!
I saw the images you uploaded to flickr from Body Harvest a while ago, they're great :) It's still one of my favorite games and I was wondering if you had any other media/information about the game that you might be able to supply me with? Maybe you know whether the debug menu in the game can be activated? I haven't yet found a way to do that. Anyhoo, I'll check back here or you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for your time, Jay. - 1/29/2010 6:05 am
What about the Oric/Atmos? Why is it so uncool? :P
- 2/04/2010 1:59 pm
- Mike said...
Coz no one had them! The only "cool" thing about the Oric was you could type "ZAP" in a shop and have it play a sound. It was just a little dull.
- 2/05/2010 8:17 am
- Snap2Grid said...
The whole cool/uncool thing is really going back to the mid-eighties computer club that we went to. The Oric, for whatever reason, was never even going to approach being cool. Just didn't work out like that. The BBC was what snobs and schools bought. But the absolute coolest machine was the Amiga 500. After I got one, the numbers of "friends" turning up on my doorstep multiplied enormously. One nearly had a seizure when he thought it was a C128 at first and then the realisation struck!

Two times DS in the same columns ;)
well for me PS3 could receive same position as Xbox ;) - 4/22/2010 6:25 pm
Hmm, I'd take Supercars 1 on the ST over SC2 on the Amiga any day. The intro was the best part of the latter, it was basically a thin layer of bling over a worse game. And it only had that one piece of music vs several in the original! Feh.
But anyway, we knew we had the less cool machine, didn't care, it was cheaper, it still had 95%-plus of the big releases until the PC took over and ruined everything for everybody, had a good community etc, and it was used for more than just games (please no pointing out how the miggy could still do 16 colours in medium-rez ;). Plus an internal PSU and a faster floppy drive, things which pay for themselves in spades.
And of course one of them got used for making rather simplistic rave records, the other got used for making... everything else ;)
Anyway, not here to debate that one, the places of the two of them are rather accurate and pleasingly central. What I want to know is...
Where is the Game Gear?
Honestly. What a cock-up to miss that out :D
The Gameboy gets to sit in the fridge, but if the Lynx is uncool the GG should get to be at least "cool". It had Sonic the freaking Hedgehog as a launch title for crying out loud, and a good proportion of everything that appeared on both the Master System (a lot of which were at least as good as NES titles) AND Megadrive... You just couldn't beat a two player game of Micro Machines for portable computer fun in the early-mid 90s. Chunky, but cool-as.
And no Amiga 600. I expect it belongs in a small oven constructed off to the left hand side of the wall proper, having recently acquired one cheap off eBay (I did it for the included CM8833, stash of re-usable DSDDs and atari-compatible mouse/joystick, please don't judge me) and found it to be very much Commodore's red-haired stepchild. Still, it plays all the A500 titles I've yet tried just fine, and even shows some potential as a living-room word processor (interlaced mode works much nicer on an LCD TV than a CRT)... It deserves some kind of entry even if it's a nasty one!
Cheers :p - 4/12/2012 10:38 am
BTW GEM/TOS may be a clunky system, but I'll tell you this much: having a naff built-in OS is a hundred times better than having to boot a hopelessly cryptic DOS-a-like or the just-as-ugly (though admittedly much more sophisticated) Workbench from floppy every. single. time. if you didn't have a hard disk (which, at the time, was a hugely expensive add-on), as well as giving up all that space to the system on every boot disk, having - like you might with an MSDOS system - to make some difficult choices about which base-level system commands and utilities to save and which to scrap when space got tight.
And it's a thousand times better than how screwed you find yourself if all your disks with it on get corrupted and you have to go scrabbling around trying to cadge a working version off a friend just in order to copy a work file from disk A to disk B, or format a disk to use for game save files...
128k of ROM trumps 800k of disk every time in these circumstances, even if it's just a fallback you can use should your copy of NeoDesk get corrupted.
(It's not like the miggy was short of alternative window managers anyway ;-)
And that green background colour.... mmm, it's like getting a tan off a nuclear reactor? How is that not cool? :D
(*quickly hides all evidence of one of the most popular things to chuck in an Auto folder being the tiny CTLPANEL.ACC and its config file that changed the default colours* ...Really, why did they go for primary green with a full 512-colour RGB palette to choose from?) - 4/12/2012 10:49 am

Post by Robert S. Cole, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hospitality Ventures Management Group Work in the hospitality industry as long as I have (since the '80s) and you will inevitably see core principles for success come to light. Whether it's learning from your own trials and errors or watching the fortunes of your colleagues and competitors rise and fall, I've found that the same basic fundamentals for success come into play time and again.
As CEO of a hotel ownership and management firm for over 20 years, here are some of the fundamentals I have learned about operating hotels, both from a corporate standpoint and at the individual hotel level.
GMs are the key to success. At HVMG, we place a huge emphasis on finding and nurturing peak performing general managers because we know that as a leadership team, THE most important decision we can make is who is running our hotels. Likewise, success for GMs is largely dependent on their ability to build an effective staff, so they need to be supported and empowered to assemble their own team.
The corporate office doesn't have any cash registers. My team is probably tired of hearing me say this, but it's true—those who truly drive the financial results are in the field and our primary mission in Atlanta is to provide support and resources to them in meaningful, value-added ways.
Keep it simple. Part of supporting your teams in the field is not bogging them down with unnecessary paperwork and superfluous initiatives that divert their focus on the things that are really important. Our business can sometimes get overcomplicated, and it's key to allow your leaders in the field to have the freedom, autonomy and time to produce the desired results. I've found that sometimes, success boils down to who executes the basics the best.
Know what you know AND what you don't know. We all like to believe we can tackle any challenge but the reality is that successful hoteliers have a keen sense of what their experience and skill set can allow them to undertake successfully. Know what's complementary to your team and don't set yourself up for failure. Sometimes the best deals you make are the ones you don't make….
Focus on and devote energy on what you can control. GMs can't always control the actual physical condition of their property from a furnishings or 'newness' standpoint but they can control two things—the cleanliness of the hotel and the friendliness of their staff. Many times I've seen older properties earn much higher guest scores than new hotels based on those two key control factors alone.
Take swift and decisive action, even if it means sometimes making a wrong decision. As a leader, you're not always going to make the right decision, especially if you're a GM that's has literally dozens of important decisions and assessments to make every month. It's important to take action as opposed to no action and table things….make something happen because never taking a risk for fear of making the wrong decision can come back and haunt you. Take it from experience….
Act with a sense of urgency. This goes with the notion of keeping it simple because you can't maintain a sense of urgency about everything; otherwise, your message will get diluted. Determine what you're passionate about and make sure your team knows it. They will respond if you are clear and consistent with your message and expectations.
Be results driven and measure. The good news with our business is there are not hundreds of metrics you've got to be concerned with—there are 10 or so that are vital and absolutely mission critical. They should be clearly defined and your focus in terms of what you measure, what you hold people accountable to and how you incentivize. You should also hire leaders who are "numbers" oriented and thrive in a results-driven culture.
Lastly, I've mentioned these two fundamentals in a previous post but they bear repeating—insist on continuous improvement and celebrate successes. Resist the natural tendency to focus on people and properties that are struggling while neglecting to recognize star performers, and realize there is always room for improvement because the minute you rest on your laurels, somebody in this highly competitive business is going to come along and knock you down.
