Just An Online Minute... Tempting Bed Bugs With The Rubicon Red Robe Treatment
The Rubicon Project Ad:tech Cocktails, 230 Fifth, New York
November 4, 2010
Send party invitations to me at email@example.com
It was time to bid a formal sayonara to ad:tech New York at 230 Fifth. As I walked from Bowlmor's Carnival in my not-so-comfy shoes to 230 Fifth, my toes screamed for me to return home, to reunite with my best friend, the couch, and sink into a late night of DVR catch-up. I screamed back at my toes "No, toes! I must complete the multi-party challenge!!" and off I continued, +1 in tow, camera banging against my side, shutter finger blistering from hours of snaps.
230 Fifth still cracks me up. I've probably said it before, but guess what, the broken record gets the... frecord. Anyway, I've probably said it before but 230 Fifth is one of those bar/lounges that offers itself up as a swanky Manhattan biz pickup joint, but in reality, it's a mass-producing, very-bad-mini-burger-passing, ordinary place. I think it gets by on looks alone, with that prime rooftop view of the beautiful Empire State Building. It certainly doesn't get by on personality because I have yet to meet a cocktail waiter (usually it's the waitresses that are most angry) that warms my soul. Last Thursday night was par for the course server-wise.
But not guest-wise! Rubicon does not disappoint in party action. The last time I joined them for an event was their "Mad Men" party, where two extremely inebriated (they later blamed it on Sunday Funday in a very contrite email) people thought the SVA was their hotel room. I had arrived about an hour before last week's party was supposed to wrap up and while the crowd was dwindling, the energy wasn't. I blame Devan Fearman, Marketing Communications Manager. Her contagious smile and boisterous self could convince you to rob a food truck.
It's that smile that convinced me to do something that to this day is making my skin crawl. Something I've snarled at in the past. Something that has made me say "Is that person stupid as hell?! Don't they watch the news?!"
I donned the public red robe.
The one that other peoples' bodies have been in.
Potentially harboring body lice and bed bugs.
Yeah, that robe. I put it on.
And pulled the hood up over my head.
Are you vomiting yet? Yeah, me too.
Though they should have been making "what is wrong with you" faces at me, Kara Weber, Rubicon Project SVP of Marketing, and Rachel Richards, Rubicon Project Events Manager were not - though perhaps they were cringing inside.
Up on the roof, I met Chris Wilson, Business Development at Chitika and Nicholas Timms from Daily Mail. I also met Peer39's Stephen Graziano and Chrisanne McCoy. I know I have met both of them before, but I still can't remember where. Stephen was giving me crap because downstairs he had apparently asked to see the photo I had just taken. I told him no, which I usually do to everyone, otherwise I'd never get in as much shooting and I'd probably end up just leaving due to people saying "OMG THAT PICTURE IS HORRIBLE" when really what they mean is "OMG I AM MAKING A HORRIBLE FACE IN THAT FABULOUS PICTURE." Anyway, he seemed irked, but he came around. I'm thinking about telling people I'm carrying a film camera.
Besides the Halebop robe situation, I did spot a couple making out in a spotlighted area. Whether they were ad:techers or not could not be confirmed. And of course, there was the lovely bartender who just stared at me silently until I said, "Am I supposed to order from somewhere else?" She replied, "Yes." I guess it's not in her contract to tell a person. Either that or she read me wrong as another mind talker.
That's it, people. Another ad:tech NY in the bag. Next year I am definitely not registering for a press pass. The constant phone calls, the irrelevant (to an event/nightlife column) deluge of emails, they're just not worth it. Especially when I get the party invitations anyway.
Tonight I'm covering a party hosted by Netshelter that is either a "holiday mixer" or a "Most Influential Tech Mixer." One sounds lovely, the other sounds like ego-schmooze torture. Let's hope for the lovely.

Even if your site came before Adsense, you are still no doubt in it for the money. If not then why have it on your site. Don't give me the crap about well I thought I would give it a try. You did it to make money. To make clicks. That is all. Who here can say that they make all of their content the best converting content for advertisers. Traffic from search engines. Do you target the best keywords for your content and advertisers to gain clicks and vistiors. I bet you do. How are you any different. Oh I see your "purpose" is to provide content right? Why? Just because it makes you feel good or to profit from it. Hmmmmm. Again why are you using adsense if all you need to do is feel good?
What I am saying is that most here would agree that we are in it for the money. I don't care if it is affiliates or whatever. The purpose of our sites are to get clicks and make money. Many people are commenting on ethics and what not. I am calling them on it. They hide behind their statment of having "useful" content that they consider ethical even though their purpose is the same and most spam sites. To make money. How many of them have I seen complain on WebmasterWorld that their CTR was down or their EPC is going to s**t. If your sole purpose is to provide useful content then what are you worried about.

Definitely one for all of London's mis-shapes, mistakes and misfits. This excellent bi-monthly club – which has previously coaxed unusual names such as Josie Long and Simon Armitage into their DJ booth – tonight welcomes back Dougie Anderson to guest on the decks for a New Years Eve party that runs until 3am. Expect an eclectic mix of indie, new wave, synth-pop, post punk and lo-fi. But be warned, the name is misleading. This isn't a support group for shy shape-throwers.

Christopher Heine | September 14, 2010 | Comments
A Betsey Johnson store in California and a novelties e-tailer will each launch Facebook Places campaigns today. The location-based efforts represent the first-ever Places initiatives, marking the beginning of what promises to be a growing trend among Facebook marketers.
Facebook Places users who check in at the Westfield Valley Fair shopping mall in Santa Clara, CA, will receive a 15 percent discount offer for the Betsey Johnson retail location there until Oct. 15. Westfield Valley Fair unveiled the coupon in the "Promotions" section of its Facebook page on Monday (see image below) and is expected to push the effort to its 22,000 "likers" on the social site today with a post.
Novelties retailer Stylin Online, based in Detroit, is set to launch a campaign that will run until the Comic Con fan convention in New York City ends Oct. 8, according to Jon Siegal, CEO of Fan Appz, which is providing the marketing platform for both efforts. Facebook users will be invited to check in at various landmarks in New York to receive a discount for purchases at the website. The exact discount offer was still being finalized at press time.
Stylin Online's 229,000 Facebook "likers" were notified of the coming promotion yesterday when the company authored the following post: "Stylin Online is asking NYC fans - which of your local landmarks best matches Stylin Online? We're working on a promotion and need a place where fans would check in with Facebook Places? Grand Central? FIT? Your favorite street dog stand?"
With the recent flurry of marketing activity on location-based platforms like Gowalla, Foursquare, Booyah, Loopt, and Whrrl, the Betsey Johnson and Stylin Online campaigns seem to indicate that this increasingly prolific marketing niche is about to get even busier as the holidays near.
Siegal from Fan Appz gave an enthusiastic, but somewhat tempered assessment of what the marketing community will see in the coming months. He noted that while location-based advertising is growing exponentially, regular e-commerce still has at least one advantage over it - no requirement to physically go to the store and check in.
"Location-based marketing is going to be huge, but it's just one part of the puzzle," Siegal said. "Businesses are always looking for new ways to attract and retain customers. Location-based marketing is another one of those opportunities. If you get really good at it, it can be a huge advantage. With Facebook enabling the Places feature, it makes check-ins a lot more of a mainstream opportunity for businesses that have customers on Facebook."
Mike Lazerow, CEO of Buddy Media, suggested that Facebook's huge scale (500 million accounts) would turn an increasing number of consumers into geo-social users - and then brands will follow suit with more campaigns. "It's not surprising that smart marketers are always looking to stay on top of the latest ways they can get people engaged with their brand," he said. "As I've said before, Facebook Places gives location-based services scale. Right now, only 4 percent of Americans have even tried location-based services, let alone use them regularly, according to the latest numbers from Forrester Research. It seems there is room for growth here."

Beartrap Canyon Review
In this part of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness you can hike, fish, and go white-water rafting on the Madison River. A picnic area and access to Trail Creek are at the head of the canyon below Ennis Lake. To get here, drive north out of Ennis on U.S. 287 to the town of McAllister and turn right down a bumpy dirt road (no number), which takes you around to the north side of the lake across the dam. Turn left after the dam onto an unmarked road and drive across the river to the Trail Creek access point.

Law firms offer a variety of career options for nonlawyers as well as for practicing attorneys. These positions utilize the talents of graduates from trade schools, colleges, and business schools, as well as law schools. While these jobs may not offer the upward mobility and variety often found in large corporations, they satisfy the needs of many individuals interested in working in a comfortable, professional, and intellectually challenging environment. Moreover, the salaries and benefits for nonlegal positions are often very competitive. One of the most well-known nonlegal positions in law firms is that of a paralegal. Paralegals are often the unsung heros in law firms, laboring almost always behind the scenes, doing much of the dirty work, taking little of the credit. And paralegals usually make a fraction of the salary an attorney demands. But paralegal positions offer recent college graduates an immediate entry into a law firm, often as a precursor to graduate or law school. Paralegal positions also provide trade and paralegal school graduates with a stable and challenging career path. THE DEFINITION OF A PARALEGAL You'll discover that different firms define the term paralegal differently. In some firms, paralegals are given huge amounts of responsibility, while in others, they are simply glorified clerks. The American Bar Association has come up with a generic description of a paralegal, which is a good place to begin our overview of the profession: Persons who, although not members of the legal profession, are qualified through education, training or work experience, are employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, governmental agency, or other entity in a capacity or function which involves the performance, under the direction and supervision of an attorney, of specifically-delegated substantive legal work, which work, for the most part, requires a sufficient knowledge of legal concepts, such that, absent that legal assistant, the attorney would perform the task.
So why would you choose to work as a paralegal when you could become an attorney with only three additional years of training? While many paralegals eventually attend law school, others find that the work is challenging and intellectually stimulating, without requiring the long hours, regular overtime, and dedication required of associates. Some paralegals intend to go to law school and ultimately decide that they are not willing or able to make the commitment to the job required of an associate. Others work in a firm for a few years and determine that law firm life does not suit them after all. WHY FIRMS HIRE PARALEGALS Firms hire paralegals to assist attorneys on cases, usually at a billing rate much lower than that of associates. Paralegals tend to perform much of the repetitious and less intellectual work for which clients will pay less than associate rates. The work can be challenging, but it can also become mundane and routine after a while. Paralegals also work in areas of the law that tend to be repetitive and administrative in nature, such as bankruptcy, estate planning, collections, and immigration, just to mention a few. Paralegals are routinely hired to staff large cases, often litigation-related matters. When large amounts of manpower are needed to sort, review, organize, stamp, and index important documents, the paralegals are called in. It's not unusual in large litigation cases for a firm to engage twenty or more paralegals at a time, just for one case. Despite what many aspiring paralegals and recent college graduates think, paralegals aren't typically hired to perform legal research. Some more experienced paralegals routinely research issues, but that's not the norm. When considering a career as a paralegal, remember that a hierarchy exists in law firms. Paralegals fall at the bottom of that pyramid, below the partners and associates. Whatever assignments the attorneys choose not to perform fall into the laps of the paralegal staff. Rest assured that the heady, intellectual work is usually devoured by the attorneys whenever possible, especially if clients are willing to pay higher rates to get the work done. And don't think that just because you attended Brown University that you will be allowed to perform legal research or that you know how to do it. Law firms don't work like that, and many Ivy-educated paralegals have been humbled after spending weeks indexing and filing documents. PARALEGAL SCHOOLS AND TRAINING Paralegal degrees, certificates, and courses are regularly offered by community colleges, technical schools, colleges, universities, and paralegal schools, which exclusively cater to the paralegal profession. Today some of the best colleges and universities offer paralegal degrees either as part of their regular curriculum or as an adjunct program. Many colleges offer evening programs that can be completed in about a year and intensive summer day programs. Make sure that the program you choose is accredited by the American Bar Association. The curriculum varies among schools, but a typical paralegal program might include study in the following areas in addition to elective courses in specific areas of interest and outside internships:
Admission requirements vary among schools. Community colleges may require only a high school diploma for admission. Some paralegal schools require a college degree for admission. At Georgetown University's Paralegal Program, for example, a minimum 2.5 college grade point average is required for admission. And some schools require students to pass a basic accounting exam prior to enrollment. PARALEGAL ASSOCIATIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS There are numerous associations and organizations associated with the paralegal profession that provide educational programs, professional recognition, and certification for its members, as well as employment assistance. Contact the local bar association in your area or local colleges and universities for information on what is available in your area. The following are some national paralegal organizations: American Association for Paralegal Education (AAFPE) Post Office Box 40244 Overland Park, KS 66204 913-381-4458 Publishes the Journal for Paralegal Education annually. Contact for information on local chapters. Legal Assistant Management Association Post Office Box 40129 Overland Park, KS 66204 913-381-4458 Promotes the professional standing of legal assistant managers. National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA) 104 Wilmot Road, Suite 201 Deerfield,IL 60015-5195 312-940-8800 Publishes a quarterly newsletter, National Paralegal Reporter. National Paralegal Association (NPA) Post Office Box 406 Solebury, PA 18963 215-297-8333 Publishes a newsletter and offers publications through its paralegal bookstore. WHAT FIRMS LOOK FOR WHEN HIRING PARALEGALS What's the best avenue to take to become a paralegal? And how do law firms view paralegal training and experience? The answers to these questions vary tremendously among law firms. Some firms require a paralegal degree or certificate, while others require only a college degree. I recommend that you review the classified section of your local Sunday newspaper to get a feel for the paralegal market in your area. Contact local employment agencies that specialize in placing paralegals in law firms for information. Contact firms in your area, and ask them what requirements they typically like to see for their paralegal positions. In large metropolitan areas such as New York, Washington, or Chicago, where there is always an abundant need for paralegal talent, often only a four-year college degree is needed to become a paralegal. In smaller, less transient markets, where overall less hiring takes place, you'll find that specific training may be needed. The larger markets usually require at least a 3.0 grade point average for paralegal positions, and often the more prestigious firms prefer to hire from the top undergraduate schools. Firms always look for strong organizational skills, especially in litigation paralegal candidates. Attention to detail and the ability to narrowly focus on even the most mundane task are traits needed by all paralegals in any market. You May Need a Specific Type of Experience For some paralegal positions, firms look for specific types of experience, even at the entry level. For example, one firm that did a lot of medical malpractice work decided to hire an experienced nurse for a newly created litigation paralegal position. They found that it was too difficult for someone to work in this area without strong medical knowledge. In firms with strong bankruptcy or immigration practices in which para-legals are given a lot of responsibility early on, previous related work experience is often mandatory. Often you'll find several paralegals working in these areas with different levels of experience. When a more senior paralegal leaves, the others move up the ladder, and someone is trained on the bottom rung by the more experienced paralegals. And some firms find that government agency experience is helpful for some paralegal positions in areas such as trade, antitrust, or telecommunications. In the technical areas of law such as patent and intellectual property, very specific training and experience are needed. You may find that entry-level positions in these areas are difficult to locate, technical undergraduate degrees may be necessary, and engineering, biotech, or computer-related work experience is also useful. These positions also tend to pay better than the nontechnical paralegal positions. OTHER AVENUES YOU CAN TAKE TO BECOME A PARALEGAL There are many other avenues to becoming a paralegal besides specific schooling. You have a lot of options. Promotion from Within There are numerous accounts of employees who were promoted to paralegal positions after working as receptionists, secretaries, couriers, accounting clerks, and so on. Promotion from within is a common occurrence in law firms, and many individuals have worked their way into paralegal positions without the benefit of a college degree or paralegal certificate. Working your way into a paralegal position via this route takes time, sometimes several years, but if you set your sights on the right horizon and are willing to pay your dues long enough, you can achieve this goal. How do you get promoted without having the required credentials or educational background in the current age of layoffs and downsizing? It is possible if you follow certain rules:
Work as a Temporary First Another avenue often taken in today's legal job market is to work as a temporary paralegal in a law firm first. Many firms hire temporary paralegals on a regular basis, especially to staff large cases and to make sure a candidate works out before making the commitment to hire as a regular full-time employee. In many cities, there are personnel agencies that specialize only in placing paralegals in law firms. Review your Sunday newspaper, call local law firms, or thumb through the yellow pages to research this market in your area. This is an excellent vehicle to test the waters, both from your perspective and from the law firm's. Working temporarily as a paralegal is becoming a popular entry into a law firm, as firms are becoming more hesitant to add regular full-time employees to their pared-down staffs. Temporary firms report that they are receiving increasingly more requests for seasoned and entry-level paralegals from law firms. But the use of temporaries is not a one-sided affair. Many experienced paralegals are discovering that they can work as a temporary or contract paralegal, working only when it suits them, making a good hourly wage, but avoiding the career burnout ultimately experienced by many in the profession. The Rotten Truth about Being a Paralegal Paralegal positions in law firms offer many opportunities, but they can also be a dead-end track for ambitious professionals who want to progress down a primrose path. You should be aware of the limitations of the profession before your set your sights on becoming a professional paralegal. YOU'LL EVENTUALLY "HIT THE WALL" Many people who work in law firms fail to realize that the legal hierarchy is always black and white: You either have a law degree or you don't, and you're limited, no matter how smart or ambitious you are, by that fact. The law places limits on the tasks you or anyone else can perform in a law firm, based on the legal training you possess and whether you've passed a bar exam. That distinction never disappears. Your career path and your salary will always be limited by these factors. I'll use a marathon runner's term for this phenomenon-you'll eventually "hit the Wall." Salary and Billing Rate Limitations Ambitious paralegals who decide to remain in the profession for the long haul often become frustrated by the salary ceiling they ultimately encounter and by the limitations placed on them simply because they're not lawyers. Billing rates are often tied to salary, and there is a divergence where paralegal rates become so high that they become associate rates. This is often the place where associates take over paralegal work. While there are some exceptions, it simply does not make sense for paralegals to bill at higher rates and make more money than associates when associates possess much more training and education. The same line of thought applies to the paralegal learning curve. The "topping out" effect troubles many ambitious paralegals, but the economics of the legal market make it unlikely to disappear. Under-stand where that learning curve peaks out in your area of practice, and make sure you can learn to live with it if you plan to remain in the paralegal profession long term. PARALEGAL MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS Big firms with large paralegal staffs often hire managers to supervise this group of paraprofessionals. Paralegal managers or supervisors are not typically found in small firms and are often located in large litigation firms where large numbers of paralegals are routinely needed to staff complex, document-sensitive cases. It's usually difficult to become a paralegal manager without strong legal administrative experience or previous paralegal work experience. Sometimes an experienced paralegal will be asked to take on this administrative position. Occasionally, personnel or recruiting directors will have this responsibility added to their roster of duties. The paralegal manager is usually responsible for hiring, supervising, and firing the paralegal staff in addition to overseeing the paralegals' work on specific cases. This position has frequently come under the ax in recent times as firms continue to downsize and eliminate layers of management, like the rest of corporate America. Therefore, the long-term future for these positions as well as their availability for budding administrators may become more uncertain in the future. |

Official Soundtrack | Victory Song
Jan 27, 2013 The Rif (Working-Title) Music 0 commentsThe Rif's official soundtrack is composed by our Co-Head, Dario Bakarčić.
Focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad and surrounding operations, Heroes of Stalingrad allows the player to experience one of the most brutal battles in all of human history. For the first time ever in a first person shooter gamers will be able to experience WWII from the Axis side in a German single player campaign. As always with the Red Orchestra franchise, Tripwire will aim to deliver unrivalled accuracy and attention to detail, along with gritty, vicious combat in multi-player, co-op and solo modes.
About In Country: Vietnam with 12 comments by harv- on Nov 26th, 2013
We at Pop Smoke Games are pleased to reveal the long awaited first look at In Country: Vietnam with the release of our new trailer. In Country: Vietnam is the next game from the creators of Mare Nostrum for Red Orchestra: Ostfront.
In Country: Vietnam marks the first time that the Red Orchestra series will depart from the battlefields of World War II by plunging players into the claustrophobic jungle environments of Vietnam. Players can expect to face all new dangers; from crossing deadly open rice fields or clearing rural villages beset with traps, to defending entrenched fire-base positions and more!
As an all-volunteer development team, we hope that the trailer highlights our work ethic as well as our promise to deliver original content. Please be aware that everything you see is still a work in progress; we value your opinions and suggestions with the hope that together we can make In Country: Vietnam a success.
So we hope you enjoy this first look at In Country Vietnam and remember to check out our featured weapons, vehicles and characters in greater detail over at our website. Feel free to leave your feedback and suggestions in our community forums!
The Rif's official soundtrack is composed by our Co-Head, Dario Bakarčić.

Story: This level isn't based off of any real life battles. This is mostly fiction, but i'm sure the story has happened before. Red Army: The Germans...
Revenge of the Turul is a modification for the game Red Orchestra Ostfront 1941-45. It focuses on the Royal Hungarian Army in this time. But it also includes...
Game is awesome, well bots in SP are kinda stupid but MP rules... And there's some bug with Kar98, back part of piston is moving when breathing up and down.... love the game !!!
1 day for the full release
already pre-downloding
Wow........I remember playing this a lot.......I really didn't expect a sequel :)
I bet anyone that the beta starts tomorrow
what better day then the day the battallas of Stalingrad started
23 August 1942
Glad i wont have to kill russians in this game, like in all COD series.
Pay Attention to the Following:
I also asked Alan if the semi-private beta will start soon: they are next week, but prefer to announce the date the night before to ensure that players do not spend a sleepless night waiting for anything in the event that a problem of last minute.
Correct me if I'm wrong (Because I'm not French, nor do I speak it), it order Does not Say That pretty much plan on releasing it THEY sometime next week, and Will Tell people one day in advance in order to Prevent people from staying up all night if There Are Some last minute problems?
Highest Rated (4 agree) 10/10
A wonderful game. Best gunplay in this type of FPS game ever, great realism just..great everything and first time i see a WW2 game with no f*cking americans and their battles all the god damn time. Tripwire finally did something that no other company dared or didnt wanna do, the battle between russia and germany with the ability to play as both side and actually bring something with an experience that makes big titles like battlefield and call of duty look like games with toy guns for mic whining kids.

John Catsimatidis, who dropped out of the mayoral race, Friday, after losing the Republican primary to former MTA chairman Joe Lhota, is doubling down on the reasons for his loss.
In a personal email to friends, supporters ad hosts of his famous Friend-Raisers, Mr. Catsimatids explained his loss to Lhota as a loss to Rudy Guiliani. He also blamed the media for distorting the truth about his record, and the major newspapers for attacking him for visualizing a better New York.
Despite the loss, Mr. Catsimatidis maintains that it's not over for him in politics, promising to fight for a better New York City Republican Party. "It should be a Party of all the People not a Party of just the few," he writes.
The following is the full email as sent by John Catsimatidis:
I wanted to write to my Friends, Supporters and Hosts of my
Friend Raisers to personally Thank You
I will also be reaching out to have a Dinner Party for my Hosts
I will Never Forget The People That helped me and The New Friends I Made
I Have withdrawn from running on Liberal Line at The Request
of Governor Pataki and other GOP Leaders
First The Facts
We Lost GOP primary approximately 29000 votes to 23000
6000 votes difference , which means 3000 vote swing would make it 26000 each or 50 -50
There are 16000 Possible Votes Uncounted Absentee ETC
will see where that Goes
The Campaign spent close to 9 Million Dollars
Currently Our Favorable vs Unfavorable rating 65 % vs 15 %
I Felt I was Not Fighting Lhota ..He Never Spoke in one Television
or Radio Commercial … It was Only Rudy ..I Felt it was
RUDY vs CATS
I won Staten Island, Brooklyn was Even & Bronx lost by few hundred votes
Manhattan I Found Strange that we only received 3000 votes out
of 11,300 cast … Very Strange
There were so many Dirty Tricks ..were tens of Thousands of ROBO Calls were made to New Yorkers saying it was our Campaign annoying Voters against us
Many Election workers were threatened with their jobs if they
did not support certain things but its an active case I cannot talk about
For The Record I do NOT Blame Rudy or Joe for this
I Found Out I Was The ANTI -Establishment Candidate opposed
by the Major Papers, attacking me for Visualizing a Better New York .. and I was Supported by the Working People of The Outer
Boroughs who I Grew to Love and Relate To
Well … Good lessons Learned for Next Time
I Will Stay Active in Politics Demanding Honesty and Integrity
in Government as Well as Demanding Truth in Media without Them Skewing That FACTS they have to Learn That they have a
Responsibility to TELL THE TRUTH to there Readers
I Spent my OWN Money
I was NOT owned by any Special Interest Groups, Corporations
or Unions
I only wanted what was Best for New York taxpayers and the workers for The City
My Interest was to Maintain and Reach New Heights in the Quality of Life to ALL New Yorkers in The Five Boroughs
I will miss The Opportunity to Create a New Worlds Fair
This is NOT GOODBYE but SEE YOU LATER
Lets FIGHT for a Better New York City Republican Party …
It should be a Party of ALL the People not a Party of just The few
Lets ALL Fight for a Better New York

Racing Club de Lens (French pronunciation: [ʁasiŋ klœb də lɑ̃s]; commonly referred to as RC Lens or simply Lens) is a French association football club based in the northern city of Lens in the Pas-de-Calais department. Its nickname, sang et or (English: blood and gold), comes from its traditional colours of red and gold. Their primary rivals are their northern neighbors Lille OSC, with whom they contest the Derby du Nord.
The birth of a club[edit]
1905, Lens. On the place Verte (the actual place de la République), students are playing football. They do not yet know that they are writing the first lines of the history of the Racing Club de Lens. Why this name? Football was invented in England, so it was good to have a club with an Anglo-Saxon name. Moreover, the youth of that time were following the Racing Club de Roubaix and the Racing Club de France.
The first board was formed by the parents of those teenagers under the name of Racing club lensois, before the club would officially be registered under the name Racing Club de Lens in 1906. The club originally played in green, as the club was born on the place Verte, and the black, for the omnipresence of coal mining in the region.
Between 1907 and 1912, the players were forced to change sports grounds a couple of times, before settling at the actual parc des Glissoires, between Avion and Lens.
During World War I, the club's activities were silenced, before restarting in 1919. Lens was then playing in sky blue.
Of blood and gold[edit]
It was in 1924 that the red and gold colours appeared. The legend says that Mr Moglia, president of the club from 1923 to 1930, chose the colours of the Spanish flag after someone from the club remarked that the ruins of the Saint-Léger church they happened to be walking by that night were the last remains of the Spanish occupation in 1648. People also say that the colours come from the coal mines: the red for the blood of the miners and the gold for the coal which was valuable at the time.
It was also in 1924 that the club was authorized to play at the newly built municipal stadium Raoul Briquet (nowadays Léo Lagrange). The first match with the new colours was played for the inauguration of the stadium.
In 1926, the British footballer Kid Fenton was the first star who played for Lens. He stayed there 8 seasons. It was also the year the first supporters group was formed, and – finally – Lens first capture of the Championnat d'Artois.
In 1929, Lens won the North championship and won promotion for the first time to the Division d'Honneur of the Ligue du Nord with the clubs of the Olympique Lillois, RC Roubaix, Excelsior Athlétic Club de Roubaix and the AC Amiens.
In the Artois League, the club gained renown and in 1932, the club inaugurated the stade Félix Bollaert.
The first victories[edit]
In 1937 gains access to the first division by finishing first of the second with players such as Stanis and Spechtl. Lens even managed to reach the last 16 of the French Cup, but the team is knocked out by the Red Star (final score, 3–2).
In 1943, the RC Lens won the first division of the Northern Zone, thanks to Stanis who scored 43 goals in 30 games. A year earlier, in a French Cup match he scored 17 goals, which is still today the world record.
After World War II, Lens finished 6th in the 1945/46 season, but they are relegated the following year. In 1948, the club played its first French Cup final, which was lost 3–2 against the LOSC.
Then, Lens is promoted to the 1st division and Maryan Wisnieski is recruited (in 1953). But problems with the board made him quit the club to join the UC Sampdoria Genoa without much success.
In 1962, the mines are shut down and the club is at stake as most of the players were miners. Between 1956 and 1968, survival is hard. Nevertheless, in 1964, Lens finished third and the best goal scorer was Ahmed Oudjani with 30 goals. Another famous player joins Lens: Georges Lech. However, Lens is relegated in 1968.
The following year, the mine's administrators let go of Lens, and it is the end of professional football at the Stade Bollaert. Lens is once again an amateur club, one year after its relegation.
Henry Trannin, the managing director, and Arnold Sowinski stay faithful to the club, waiting for better days…
The good years and the fall[edit]
And the better days arrive in 1960: the town council bets on the Racing Club de Lens. Lens' mayor, André Delelis, wants to see the club continue thrilling the fans. With the future president, Jean Bondoux, the mayor brings together volunteers and subscriptions in order to make the club survive. Moreover the city recovers the stadium from the closing mine industry.
In 1972, Lens reaches the semi-finals of the French Cup and the arrival of 2 Polish players helps the club to the 1st division. In 1975, Lens reaches once more the final of the French Cup against the AS Saint-Étienne. But "les Verts" win the game 2–0, with an anthology goal by Jean-Michel Larqué.
As finalist of the French Cup, Lens has the opportunity to participate in its first UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, but the team is knocked out quickly by the Dutch club ADO Den Haag.
Lens' progresses continue and after finishing 2nd in the League behind Nantes, they qualify themselves to the UEFA Cup. They knock out Malmö FF, and above all, the Lazio Roma, after an away defeat (2–0), they won 6–0 at the Stade Félix Bollaert after extra-time. Unfortunately, after this rare exploit for a French club, they are eliminated by the East German side Magdeburg. Worse, the club goes back to the 2nd division in 1978.
The return among the elite will be in 1979 with Roger Lemerre as head coach. During the 1980s, Gérard Houllier and Joachim Marx will succeed him.
But the club doesn't have enough means to keep players such as Didier Sénac, Gaëtan Huard or Philippe Vercruysse.
Martel's takeover[edit]
In 1988, a local businessman takes over the club, with the help of Serge Doré. Little by little, the club will transform itself into an enterprise and it will open itself to investors.
During the same year, Arnaud Dos Santos will be named head coach of the club, and it will be promoted back in 1st division in 1991.
In 1993 and 1994, the RC Lens plays in the top of the League and the team qualifies for the UEFA Cup twice in a row. Lens even reaches the semi final of the French Cup after knocking out the Paris Saint Germain at the Parc des Princes, but the team fails against Montpellier.
In 1998, "les Sang et Or" will write their best page of their history under Daniel Leclercq ("the Druid"): French Champions, League Cup semi-finalist and finalist of the French Cup against the PSG (2–1 defeat). Like a symbol, it is a player who started his career in Lens, Yohan Lachor, who scored in Auxerre the goal which gave Lens the title, in front of Metz. Still under the "Druid", Lens will win its 2nd major title in 1999 with the League Cup against Metz, with a goal from Daniel Moreira. That year, in the UEFA Champions League, Lens will also become the only club to have beaten Arsenal at Wembley (1–0, with a goal from Mickaël Debève), but they were knocked out.
The next season, Daniel Leclercq was fired, but Lens will still reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. François Brisson's men were eliminated by Arsenal, but they had before beaten Kaiserslautern (4–1 win in Germany), Atlético Madrid and the Celta Vigo. For the 2002/2003 season, Joël Muller was named head coach. Lens finished second that season and qualified for its 2nd UEFA Champions League campaign. However, the club finished 8th the next two years.
Muller will be replace during his 4th season by Francis Gillot, who managed to qualify Lens for the Intertoto Cup, which was won, which meant qualification for the UEFA Cup.
During the 2006/2007, the Sang et Or finish the first part of the season 2nd, behind Lyon. But due to chaotic 2nd part, they only finished 5th.
A few days later, Francis Gillot resigned, probably due to the fact that the club didn't qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The 5 June 2007, Guy Roux made his come back, which would only last 3 months, as he resigned during the game RC Strasbourg-RC Lens (lost 2–1).
Jean-Pierre Papin took over, but Lens could make up no ground through the season, finishing 18th, 2 points behind Toulouse, and were relegated to Ligue 2 for next season. Lens finished the season with just 40 points, winning only 9 times in 38 matches. Strasbourg and Metz are also relegated.
After a slow start in their only year in the Ligue 2 they manage to finish as leader the first half of the season. Getting 13 out of 15 points in their first five games of the second half, everything looked set for a quick return to the first league. After only taking 5 points of the next six games, the race was open again. Lens became the champions and returned to the highest division in 2009. In 2011 they dropped to Ligue 2 again.
Although Lens have remained in Ligue 2 since their relegation in 2011, their world class academy has gained prominence through the success of its graduates. Most notable of which is Raphaël Varane, who has cemented a place in the back line of Real Madrid and France with his splendid blend of tenacity, composure and athleticism. Fellow Lens academy graduates include AS Monaco's midfield enforcer Geoffrey Kondogbia, long time Tottenham left back Benoît Assou-Ekotto, maverick trequartista Adel Taarabt, promising Ivorian full back Serge Aurier, West Ham's Mohamed Diamé and Crystal Palace's Jimmy Kébé. An exciting future lies in wait for the likes of Alexandre Coeff, Thorgan Hazard, Timothée Kolodziejczak, Gaël Kakuta, Mehdi Abeid and Ange-Freddy Plumain.

Product Description
Simple Church clearly calls for Christians to return to the simple gospel-sharing methods of Jesus. No bells or whistles required, so to speak.
Based on case studies of four hundred American churches, authors Thom Rainer and Eric Geiger prove that the process for making disciples has quite often become too complex. Simple churches are thriving, and they are doing so by taking these four ideas to heart: Clarity. Movement. Alignment. Focus.
Each idea is examined here, simply showing why it is time to simplify.

text: Probably because the cable companies are increasing profits by degrading service. So they'd have to reduce speeds down to 1mb/s or something, which would make it obvious what an embarrassing backwater the USA has become. Similar to how the government can't let it be seen that residential homes only have 5-figure value so it just prints money until it looks like there is prosperity

We're resolving to treat our sisters extra special this year so they know how much we love them. Join in and strengthen that bond with your sis -- here are some great family bonding tips:
Sisters often get the short end of the stick when it comes to relationships. Between work commitments, errands, pleasing the men in our lives and catching up with friends, a lot of women often struggle to find ample quality time with their sisters. Whether you've made a habit of canceling dates with your sister or put off time with her on a frequent basis, it's time to change. This year, we want you to really start thinking of your sister as a friend, and not just a constant fixture in your life. Sure, sisters are more willing to forgive us when we neglect them, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't get as much attention as we'd give a good friend.
Whether you schedule a regular girls' night out with your sis, or make an effort to call her once a day (even for a quick little chat!), this year is the time to really strengthen that sisterly bond.
We're not suggesting you go out and buy your sister a car or something (unless you're Donald Trump!), but we are suggesting you be a bit more giving this year. Whether you resolve to give more time to your sis or be a bit more generous come birthday time, it's time to step things up a notch. Sometimes we fall into patterns and just get a bit too comfy with our mistakes (like forgetting to give our sisters a birthday present or bailing out on a date at the last minute); it's only natural. But if you want to show your sister you really care, get a bit more generous this year.
Why does your sister rock? Share in the comments below!
Sometimes we think we know everything there is to know about our sisters, but there are tons of things about your sister that you probably never even knew before! Whether your sister has a secret drawing talent or a closet obsession with Coach bags, we're betting there are plenty of character traits your sister hasn't shared with you. Sure, sisters share a lot (some share everything), but the funny thing about sisters is that a lot of us never truly take the time to get to know them like we would a new friend or a new guy prospect.
This year, resolve to take the time to really delve into the person your sister is, was and wants to be, and we're betting you'll find out a few new things that'll bring you even closer together (if that's possible)!
Tags: family bonding sisters
My sister is seven years younger than me, and we just recently started getting closer. She's in college, and I'm married with a baby. I've made it a point to meet her for coffee or lunch once a week to chat and catch up. She's a great friend, and I like that we make time for each other.
My sister rocks because she is always honest! She tells you how it is and how she feels. Sometime that can be really hurtful and cause a rift, but because she is my sister I know it comes from a place of true caring and love. We have to "agree to disagree" from time to time, but as we have grown older we have been able to set boundaries and really understand each other and where we stand. It's great!
You're so right about all the embarrasing photos my sister has of us! Blackmail potential for sure! LOL
G, that's a great question. Financial issues are always really tricky, especially when they involve family members. It's definitely not fair to you that your sister expects you to just pay for her lifestyle. As sisters, we often give more to our sisters than we would friends, since they're family members, but no person should feel like they're a cash cow. I would have an honest and open conversation with your sister and tell her how she's making you feel. Mention something like "I'm happy to help you when you're in need, but I can't always fund your debts since I have my own lifestyle I need to maintain." Make it clear that you want her to be happy and get back on track, but that your financial assistance is only making her more dependent. Sometimes, we have to do tough things in life like cutting off people emotionally or financially to help them get the help they need. Suggest that your sister seek alternate means of assistance -- a loan, a new job to make more money, etc. -- so she can help herself out of the situation. Make it clear that you're not abandoning her, but that she needs to consider how she makes you feel when you're constantly asking her for money. It can be tough when a sister is condescending, and I think we've all been there! Sometimes sisters have this odd jealousy and competition between them that they can't even explain themselves. The best thing you can do is stand up for yourself. Personally, I"m the more outspoken sister in my family and I'm always willing to call out someone who's picking on me. I know it can be difficult to do that, but you need to respect yourself enough to tell your sister that you don't appreciate the way she constantly puts you down. Tell her how her behavior makes you feel and just be honest. Set boundaries and walk away from the situation if don't want to have an argument. Tell your sister that you'd be happy to discuss the situation when she's in a calm mood, and give her some time to blow off some steam. I hope that helps!
Elizabeth: That's a great question. From my experience, it's sometimes hard to get sisters to really listen to your helpful advice when they're making a mistake (s). The best you can do is sit your sister down for a one-time serious chat. Lay everything on the table --- why you disagree with her, what you've been feeling, etc. -- and listen to her opinion. Agree beforehand to "agree to disagree" and remain non-judgmental of each other. In the end, you can't change your sister, you can only offer advice and guidance to guide her down the right path. The most important part is not to nag your sister or accuse her of anything; simply approach the situation as a chance to get everything out in the open and hope that she'll take your advice into consideration. She'll do one of two things: Change or not. At least you will have made an effort to help her. You'll then have to decide whether you step back a bit from your bond or not. Sometimes distance can help the situation. Hope that helps!
How do you become a better sister when your sister made choices for her self financially and in personal like that leave her needy financially on a regular basis and does not have the funds to pay her debts back to you and expects you to donate to her whenever she asks. How to you become a better sister when your sister is constantly condescending and fault finding and wants to argue.
She's the person I can just be myself with! We can be silly or serious...whatever it is, I know we'll always "get" each other!
My sister is the best person to go to for advice!

Still traveling on $5-a-day budget, but switch dollars for euros
Back in September of 2005, Adrienne wrote about Leon Logothetis, the ultimate frugal traveler who travels on $5 a day and the kindness of strangers for his show Amazing Adventures of a Nobody. Three and a half years later, he's still at it, but he traded the $5 dollars for 5 euros for his journey from Paris to Moscow.
In this New York Times Q & A article, Logothetis, talks about his experiences and offers tips.
If reading that it's possible to travel on just $5 a day gets you feeling excited and ready to sling on a backpack, consider Logothetis's answer to what you can do on such a modest amount.
At least you can't without help. Logothetis recounts how he has been given places to stay, been fed and offered rides. He's found Americans particularly generous.
One tip he has for anyone who is relying on others is to not be upset if someone says "no."
Reading about Leon's experiences reminded me of my trip to Mali with a Peace Corps friend. We had very little money and wanted to budget most of our cash for the journey to Timbuktu. One night in Mopti, we slept at a guest house on a sheet covered mattress out on the balcony. Even that cost $1.50 or so, and that was years ago. I remember shining my flashlight of the bathroom, just big enough for the toilet, in order to get the roaches to scurry away. There was a certain thrill from seeing just how little we could spend and how much frugality we could stand. It was kind of fun in a sick sort of way.
The new season of Amazing Adventures of a Nobody airs on Fox Reality Channel starting on January 25.

The Daily Crazy Jan 14th 2009 12:48PM
I'm with you, I can relate to the perverse joy of thrifty travel. I think it is a challenge like any other and if you like challenges, you like challenges. I remember a night spent sleeping on an Indian train in the bit between carriages. If you stretched out too much you straddled the carriages and found that the two halves of your body were moving in different directions. At one point an Indian army private lent us his huge bag to sleep on. That was a cheap night.

Reading about your train experience reminded me of when I tried to sleep sitting up while perched on my backpack at the end of a train car while heading from Athens back to the ferry for Italy. Awful--but again, a bit awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Any recommendations on space heaters. Our wife and I just brought our new born baby girl home. Since our master bedroom gets a little cold at night because we have tall ceilings, I would like a little help to keep it comfortable. Thanks.

I 'm not sure how cold your room gets but I would check with your pediatrician to see what they recommend for room temp. for your baby. You don't want it too hot in there and babies can stay pretty warm when they are in a onsie and pjs and well swaddled in a blanket. I've heard something like 68 deg is good???
On a serious note, I've never trusted space heaters. Seems like every house fire in the winter is caused by a space heater. Wrap the baby tight in a blanket (they like that anyway).
We were actually told by our doctor that 65 was good. I am pretty sure we didn't keep it quite that cool. You can find some electric ones at Lowes that don't get hot at all to touch but do a pretty good job of taking the chill off. I bought mine for my office for around $40
Get a ceramic one. Alot safer than open element ones.
along the Lowes path, we just bought one that has ceramic heating elements, as well as a thermostat and remote, only cost around $60 I think. works great to just cut the chill in between furnace cycles.
Get a LASKO ceramic one at Lowe's. They rock. You can set the temp on them and they all have safety shut offs as well.
A space heater in the house to keep a baby warm is the equivalent of having a gun in your house to keep your family safe. The odds of a child finding the gun and accidentally shooting him/her self is greater than the odds of a burglar breaking into your house while you're home and you needing to use the gun. The odds of a space heater causing a fire is just too great in my opinion.
I have a 4 level house and the fan has run continuously for the last 6 years since we install the furnace. It is not perfect for keeping all the levels the same temperature but it sure helps. Make sure you have a fairly new furnace that has a sealed fan motor and not one that has to be oiled.
I seriously just bought one about 3 hours ago. It's a Honeywell from Wal-Mart. It's digital and was $65 dollars. It has a lot of safety features... automatic timer shutoff, overheating automatic shutoff. We live an apartment with a huge living room with a 14 foot ceiling, and of course the heater vents are against the ceiling. The furnace couldn't keep up. It has warmed up the room about 4 degrees in about 2 hours, and the furnace is able to shut off now!
I don't care what PGreen says. With common sense usage, most any UL-listed electric microwave oven will keep your baby warm.
Seriously, congrats on the new family member.:yes:

Monin *Sugar-Free* Chocolate Syrup 750ml / 25.4 fl oz.
The origins of chocolate stretch back at least 4,000 years. The ancient populations of Central America used cocoa beans (Theobroma means food of the gods) to make a hot, frothy and bitter drink called chocolatl. This concoction was sacred and was associated with fertility and wisdom.
After Christopher Columbus introduced chocolate to Europe, the drink immediately became popular. In the 19th century, it was discovered that cocoa could be mixed with milk and cocoa butter, and the first chocolate bar was born.
Sugar Free Syrups offer superb gourmet flavor and traditional syrup texture, yet are free of sugar, calories and aftertaste and are ideal for low-calorie and diabetic lifestyles. Popular MONIN O'free syrups can enhance virtually any beverage. They are used as the main flavor and also combined with other MONIN O'free flavors.

I purchased the chocolate syrup thinking it would be great for iced coffee drinks, I am really disappointed, the flavor is too artificial, doesn't really have a good chocolate flavor and you can taste the sweetner.
