(DK) Churn analysis and Loyalty
Henrik Hammer
Mar 11 2014
43 mins
(The webinar will be hosted in Danish)
Many companies run loyalty programs for their customers. Customers in the programs receive discounts and special offers in return for doing business with you. In Denmark the amount of loyalty programs has seen a significant increase – resulting in a highly competitive market. Customers are churning from the programs. The cross sell and up sell revenue from these programs are declining – while the cost for aintaining the programs is increasing. Often customers develop a fatique an immunity to marketing initiatives in the program because they are treated with a one-size fit all message.
We can improve all of the above by intelligently looking at the cross sell and churn
patterns of your customer base. This allow us to focus retention efforts on customers
with a high Customer Life Time Value and a high propensity to churn.

(FI) Asiakasanalytiikka - yrityksesi myynnin kasvattaja
Henri Parviainen
Mar 6 2014
39 mins
Tänä päivänä valta on ostajalla. Heille on ominaista vertailla palveluiden ja tuotteiden hintoja sekä laatua ja käydä keskustelua sosiaalisessa mediassa ennen ostopäätösten tekemistä. He myös odottavat yksilöityä palvelua riippumatta ostokanavasta.
Kuinka voisit palvella heitä yksilöinä? Millaisia tarjouksia heille tulisi tarjota? Mitkä niistä tuottavat eniten? Miten osaisit ennustaa asiakaidesi ostokäyttäytymistä sekä trendejä? Kaikkiin näihin kysymyksiin piilee vastaus yrityksesi keräämässä datassa. Se tulee vain kaivaa esiin, yhdistää ja hyödyntää liiketoiminnan tehdessä päätöksiä.
Webinaarissa käymme läpi kuinka analytiikka voi auttaa sinua saamaan uusia asiakkaita, myymään heille enemmän sekä pitämään heidät asiakkainasi myös jatkossa. Käsittelemme aihetta asiakasesimerkkien sekä kokemusten pohjalta liiketoiminnan kielellä.

Expand your VDI use cases with Graphics Acceleration Solutions
Apr 9 2014
5:00 pm
60 mins
Olivier Favre, Director of Product Management
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is now a mature technology that is being adopted by organizations with increasing popularity. However, the user community who needs high-end graphics capabilities in their work (such as 3D modelling and simulations) were somewhat skeptical about the capabilities and performance of VDI with applications using 3D graphics, compared to the performance they can expect from a physical PC or workstation with a dedicated GPU. Recent advances in VDI help make this performance gap narrower by providing the capabilities for either a pool of virtual desktops (shared GPU) or, to a specific virtual desktop (GPU pass through), depending on the user requirements.
Join Teradici for a deep dive on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) deployment options for VMware Horizon View and walk away with the GPU knowledge to increase productivity and accelerate your application performance in your virtual environment. In this webinar, we will discuss GPU technology related to Virtual Shared Graphics Acceleration (vSGA),Virtual Dedicated Graphics Acceleration (vDGA) and Teradici PCoIP Hardware Accelerator deployment options available today. We will also explore how using PCoIP Hardware Accelerator in combination with a GPU allows you to expand and enhance your VDI deployment to provide a rich and interactive graphical experience across a broad set of use cases and ensure application performance.
Key Takeaways
• Understand the graphics acceleration options for VMware Horizon View
• Learn how PCoIP Hardware Accelerator complements GPU implementations to improve 3D application performance

As new HIPAA rules and regulations come into effect at the end of 2013, you may be wondering if you, and your cloud service provider, are really ready.

Join award-winning and internationally recognized health tech futurist Shahid Shah, known as "The Healthcare IT Guy" across the internet, as he talks about how we can get beyond the hype by focusing on actionable innovation. Specifically, he will answer the following questions:
* What does innovation in healthcare mean?
* Where are the major areas in healthcare where innovation is required?

Transforming Healthcare Through Information Management
Oct 30 2013
49 mins
Greg Caressi, Sr Vice President, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Frost & Sullivan
Healthcare is undergoing several transformations simultaneously that are impacting the way information is used and managed by care providers, payers and consumers. Transformations in care delivery, IT infrastructure, the competitive ecosystem, the shift to data-driven decision making, and activated patients are all impacting the creation, management, exchange and utilization of health information. Healthcare organizations are at various stages across each of these transformations, making this a very fluid environment of technology adaptation and corporate cultural change.
How must organizations change to adapt and leverage health information differently now and in the future? What trends are transitional and what trends require rapid and permanent adaptation? How will smaller provider organizations adapt to the increased IT requirements and rapid implementation and deployments coming over the next few years? How will the vendor landscape of health IT change in the coming years? Who can you bet on to deliver solutions that will adapt to the future of healthcare? Join Frost & Sullivan in this online discussion of our insights on these and other key issues impacting the management of health information.
Removing Technology Barriers in Healthcare: The solution is not more technology
Oct 30 2013
44 mins
Jim VanderMey, Chief Innovation Officer, OST (Open Systems Technologies)
Persona Workshops. Executive Sponsorship. Collaboration. The solution to a successful VDI implementation is not adding more technology. The proof in this logic is evident at Metro Health, an OST client, which is a leading example of VDI implementation. In fact, according to an executive at Hewlett-Packard, much of what HP has learned about VDI has come from their experience working with Metro Health.
At the end of the day, leveraging technology successfully in today's healthcare environments boils down to the following:
- Speed and Efficiency: Deliver the most flexible and adaptive experience for clinicians & staff by giving them access to their data in 10 seconds or less
- Access to Data & Mobility: Provide hospital staff access to their personal desktop where they need it, when they need it
- Security and Safety: Increase security by removing patient data from physical desktops and exceed industry safety standards

Closing the Gap Between Patient Expectations and Patient Portals
Jul 17 2013
49 mins
Greg Caressi, Sr. Vice President - Healthcare & Life Sciences, Frost & Sullivan
"Patient Engagement" is one of the hot terms in the healthcare world today, most often a discussion that occurs without the involvement of patients. What patient engagement and patient empowerment mean often depends on where you sit in the healthcare value chain. Patient goals and expectations for engagement are often different from those of providers, payers, and
employers. Over the next few years, some of the biggest changes we are likely to see in healthcare are an increase in patient-provider interaction, patient responsibility, patient choice, and patient control of data.
How are patient expectations changing with regards to interaction with healthcare payers and providers? What are the goals of ACOs in patient engagement and what solutions are needed to support these goals? How do current IT solutions measure up and what are the gaps? How will the increasing impact of consumerism and patient empowerment create new opportunities to provide healthcare IT solutions directly to individuals/patients? What surprises are there in store for patients, payers and providers in patient engagement and empowerment the next few years?

Great idea
There are some questions regarding what type of improvements will be coming with our upcoming new and improved DHEA Transdermal Product. I wanted to post up a thread where we could ask questions to BPS himself. Perhaps make suggestions and or even have some guessing games that MAY even end up with some type of fun contest if BPS wants to do something like that.
Lets keep this thread positive and only about the new and upcoming product.
BPS since even us reps are excited and anticipating what the new improvements are going to be. I would love to make a suggestion if the new formulation is not set in stone. I would love to see some DIM or IC3 added into the product for estrogen modulation. We all know DHEA converts at a pretty high rate and chrysine is a decent AI but often times can not keep the excess water off. I don't see a need to crush Estro with a high dose of AI but something like DIM or IC3 would be a great addition to combat any negative estrogen sides while enforcing some of the positive effects of estrogen. It could also help aid in preventing shut down at higher doses, which we all know everyone runs DHEA product higher than the recommended doses.

Great idea
Yeah, I think it would be great in there or did you mean the thread?

Maybe a low dose Epiandrosterone. That would increase it's anabolic potential, fat loss properties, it's neurotransmitter stimulation, and prevent all estrogen concerns.
DHT is a powerfull A.I.
Anyone know the oral to transdermal dose equivalency?
Lastly, don't drop the pregnenolone. It is pivitol to the formula.
I agree that pregnenolone is a good part of the formula. However I have to disagree with the statement that DHT is a powerfull A.I.
DHT is not an AI at all. It can counteract some of the effects of Estrogen especially in breast tissue but it is a product of the aromatase process. The acronym AI means Aromatase Inhibitor naturally occuring DHT is one of the 2 hormones created when testosterone or DHEA is aromatized some is converted to DHT and some of it converted to Estrogen.
Part of the reason steroidial DHT is beneficial at minimizing or reducing gyno is that when you begin to shut down from the higher DHT levels there is less testosterone and therefor less estrogen due to less aromatization. An estrogen starved mammary gland will shrink, and if starved of estrogen long enough some of the cells can even die.

Lastly, don't drop the pregnenolone. It is pivitol to the formula.
this sounds good re: more anabolic if possible..
- had to edit 'strong' due to post count not being high enough for links
I've read before that the metabolites of DHT can act on the aromatase enzyme and inhibit it.
It also acts on the hypothalamus and decreases the secretion of gonadotropins which are needed for estrogen production.
I would opt for a pro to DHT than an AI since it acts similar and has added benefits.What about another ingredient that is ergogenic + an AI?
I definitely like the idea of DIM or resveratol.
I'm not here to argue. I would like to see this thread flourish as it should. However, DHT is a steroidal A.I. known to have direct antagonistic effects at the estrogen receptor, while also having anti-aromatase properties to block estrogen conversion from testosterone.
I like dhea + Pregnenolone, and if possible in the same formula some
Estrogen modulation (DIM or I3C was a great suggestion by Kleen) am a huge fan of formestane
Cortisol modulation (11-keto would be awesome) or 11-oxo, 7-oxo
and anything else that can contribute to health. Maybe something in the cognitive dept?
I also feel androsterone would be a nice additive to the Derma formula as they have synergestic effects when combined.
doing my own thang!
As a huge fan of formestane, have you checked out formasurge yet? http://www.nutraplanet.com/product/b...-servings.html
I wonder if this is part of a part of the negative feedback loop. Since DHT is a product of the aromatization process perhaps a high count of DHT signals the body too much aromatization is gong on thereby lowering the production of the enzyme itself? Can you refer me to a specific study or something so I can look at what you have been reading?
DHT / Andro would be a sexy addition just not sure how cost effective it would be considering the low cost of the new product that has been mentioned.
Live Hard, Laugh Hard, Love Hard and Heal Fast! - KLEEN
Damn It Ape How dare you disagree with me!
Actually if find this level of conversation very interesting, and don't consider it argument at all. I am not that guy...
I may have to do a little more research on the subject. I knew that DHT was an AE, or anti-estrogen via competition at the receptor as I mentioned in my post. I was I more refering to it not being a suicide inhibitor. However I need to look at little more into the method in which it inhibits the aromatization process. Like I asked Austin above can you provide some of the studies you are getting your information from so I can go do a little more research? I mean I could sift through tons of studies but if you have read one and know about where you found it that would be more helpful.
Live Hard, Laugh Hard, Love Hard and Heal Fast! - KLEEN
DHT has a very low affinity for the estrogen receptor, it's specifically used in research for that reason. A classic paper demonstrating this is Kuiper et al, Endocrinology 1997. Because other androgens do interact with the AR and ER at appreciable affinities, DHT was used (in part) to identify AR-specific downstream effects. I'm using it in some nuclear receptor experiments right now for just that reason too.
As for it being an aromatase inhibitor, I've only given it a cursory look at this point, but can only find secondary and tertiary sources on that claim. Given it's poor binding to the ER, there are other compounds that would be far more efficient as an AI. As yet no actual research that I have come across supports that claim. If such research exists, please post it, as I'm not seeing it.
Ape, Resolve, Kleen, I agree with all of yas.
And Resolve, yep on Formasurge at this very moment. It is a key part of my current plan and I would be in a different situation without it. Awesome and stronger than others I have used.
I can't right now since I am on my phone and it isn't very easy. I like your thinking because that makes perfect sense to me.Originally Posted by MrKleen73
It could be cost effective if the skin gives good conversion rates.
I can't wait to see what ingredients will be used
Cool thanks will look forward to when you have a chance to post some thing up.
Resolve thanks for the input. I am definitely curious if there is some science I am unaware of. I like to think a have a little knowledge about stuff but don't consider myself a scholar by any means. Those of us who know you know that you are.
Live Hard, Laugh Hard, Love Hard and Heal Fast! - KLEEN
I'm no expert either, and can't make heads or tails of most studies. My opinion on the epiandrosterone, cones from what I've been told by more knowledgeable heads. People who know their **** like Matt Porter.
I try to avoid bro science at all cost.

Liberal vs Liberal:
All these Right-Wingers articles congratulating Romney on his debate win miss the real reason Romney was so effective and President Obama was put on the defense. Romney came to the debate not as an extremist Right-Wing candidate slavishly subservient to his base. He came to
this debate to argue as a moderate, independent Rino prepared to show how willing he is to compromise and accommodate the Liberals. The perfect example is how he got Romneycare passed by working with the Democratic controlled Massachusetts legislature. We also found out he has some love for government regulations and wants to keep some things in Obamacare. It all shows how toxic any real association with the extremists in the GOP can be if he ....

RIM announces BlackBerry Pearl 3G, Bold 9650
Ahead of its annual WES conference, Research in Motion unveils two upcoming smartphones, including a refresh of the popular Pearl series.
This post was updated at 6:39 a.m. PT with information from Sprint regarding the availability of the RIM BlackBerry Bold 9650.
Research in Motion's Wireless Enterprise Symposium (WES) doesn't officially start till Tuesday, but the company kick-started things by introducing two new devices on Monday: the BlackBerry Bold 9650 and the BlackBerry Pearl 3G. Carrier and pricing information is sparse at this time, but the news finally gives us a look at two devices that have been a long time coming.
The BlackBerry Bold 9650 is a handset that's been promised since last summer and though now under the Bold name, this is essentially the BlackBerry Tour with the addition of Wi-Fi and an optical trackpad. The rest of the smartphone's features remain largely the same as the Tour's, including dual-mode functionality for world roaming, support for international 3G bands, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. It also features a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 2.44-inch HVGA screen, 512MB Flash memory, and ships with a 2GB microSD card.
So far only Sprint has officially announced that it will offer the BlackBerry Bold 9650 starting May 23 for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate. We have yet to hear from Verizon, but we'd be pretty surprised if the carrier didn't pick up the Bold 9650 sooner or later.
Meanwhile, the BlackBerry Pearl 3G finally gives us a refresh of the popular Pearl series. Like previous models, the Pearl 3G keeps a compact design, measuring 4.25 inches tall by 1.96 inches wide by 0.52 inch thick, and features a SureType keyboard, but there will actually be two configurations. The 9100 model will have a 20-key SureType keyboard, whereas the 9105 will have a 14-key SureType keyboard. Like the latest BlackBerrys, the optical trackpad replaces the trackball navigator and also has dedicated media controls on top of the device.
The smartphone also runs BlackBerry OS 5.0 and includes Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n), Bluetooth, and GPS. The BlackBerry Pearl 3G supports both AT&T's and T-Mobile's 3G networks. For a next-gen model, however, we're disappointed that RIM didn't upgrade the 3.2-megapixel camera.
Though not the most mind-blowing news, RIM may also show off BlackBerry OS 6.0 at WES, which we're definitely excited to hear more about. We'll be sure to report back any news from the show. WES is taking place in Orlando, Fla. from April 27 to April 29.

It's here. The NFL Playoffs are about to begin. Bengals vs. Texans and Vikings vs. Packers on NBC. Who I think will win: Bengals and Packers. Who I want to win: Bengals and Vikings.

I saw this on Rotoworld: Dan Wiederer of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports Joe Webb is "looking more likely" than Christian Ponder (elbow) to start Saturday night's Wild Card game against the Packers. It's become apparent Saturday that Ponder's elbow bursitis didn't improve despite essentially taking the entire practice week off. The Vikings simply can't afford to start a quarterback with an injured throwing arm in sub-freezing weather. Wiederer concedes there's still "no final word," but one will come down by halftime of today's Bengals-Texans game. Vikings-Packers has an 8PM ET start, so inactives will be available no later than 7ET.
The one time I had to root for the Packers last week, and they couldn't come through for me. For that, I say, SKOL VIKINGS.
Want to win - Houston and Vikes, think will win Houston and GB
Texans taking control so far. As far as the Vikings QB, that would be a big blow...with Webb, now the Packers can focus even more on AP. At least Ponder, there's a chance they'd pass.
Being held to two field goals is far from "taking control."
Originally Posted by RING4CY Being held to two field goals is far from "taking control." 112 yards to 19 yards is. Everything besides the scoreboard says the Bengals are getting owned so far.

Originally Posted by RING4CY Yeah, everything but the one category that actually matters is saying they're getting owned. It's under the "Iowa State vs. Iowa" owned category. Close score but in reality one team was way better.
TD Bengals! lol
Love it!
Defensive TDs are huge plays. Houston needs a drive now.
Houston losing this would be a fitting way to end this skid they started 2 weeks ago.

-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".

These are delicious. I double the zest, add 1/8 C frozen concentrated orange juice, and double the cranberries. Bake 5 extra minutes and decrease the temperature by 25* for a moister scone. The glaze is a wonderful way to top these special treats!
SarvieG3 Jul, 2012
These turned out really good! I made them for breakfast; followed the recipe exactly. I sprinkled some sliced blanched almonds on top before putting them in the oven--turned out great!
EYBower3 Jun, 2011
These scones were easy to make and tasted good, but in my experience making them, they spread more that I would have liked in the oven. I think possibly adding 1 or 2 more tablespoons of flour could have slightly reduced the stickiness and spreading of the dough. I did not need any additional buttermilk as the recipe suggested possibly needing.
chocotako20 Jul, 2010
These are divine and easy! I topped them with an orange glaze as suggested. Also, I used kefir cultured milk instead of buttermilk. They turned out great!
Butchbottom28 Oct, 2008
This is a wonderful and VERY easy scone. I do the whole thing in the food processor - dry ingr orange zest (pulse), cold butter (pulse), cranberries (pulse), buttermilk (pulse) turn out to form.. Also, I use orange flavored cranberries
sandygluck14 Mar, 2008
what a great idea. here's a tip, if you juice an orange, lemon, or lime, save the shell and freeze it, then when you need zest you can take the shell and zest it.

So yummy!!! Save the orange and juice it. Mix the juice with confectioners sugar to make a delicious glaze. I cut the dough into smaller portions before baking and then glaze them after they cool to make a great dessert.

Best Books on the Middle East, 2010
The Atlantic asked me to name an outstanding book from 2010 in Middle East Studies. I chose John Calvert's Sayyid Qutb and the Origins of Radical Islamism. In honor of that choice, I'm delighted to publish today Calvert's essay "The Afterlife of Sayyid Qutb" on the Middle East Channel, an essay which fills in one of the only real gaps in the book. Choosing only one book was difficult, but fortunately I have a blog of my own to offer a longer list of the best books published this year on the Middle East -- or at least the best books published this year which I actually had time to read, which means that it's far from exhaustive. Without further ado, the list:
John Calvert, Sayyid Qutb and the Origins of Radical Islamism (Columbia University Press). The Egyptian Islamist Sayyid Qutb has been one of the most influential Islamist thinkers of the century, a key figure in the evolution of radical Islamist movements such as al-Qaeda and a pivotal voice in the shift by some Islamists towards violence. In one of the first serious English-language biographies of Qutb, Calvert puts this often misunderstood figure into his historical context, situating Qutb within the turbulent intellectual and political flow of Egyptian and Arab history. He expertly shows the development of Qutb's thinking, from literary critic to Islamist, and powerfully details the impact of the repression and torture carried out by the regime of Gamal Abdel Nasser on his turn towards the stark, radical doctrines which have shaped generations of Islamist radicals. Fascinating details emerge in this book, about what really happened during his famous visit to the United States, about his tenuous relationship with a Muslim Brotherhood organization, which he joined only late in his career, and about how he built a following among Islamists outside of Egypt. The Qutb which emerges from Calvert's even-handed history is far more complex and interesting than the caricature of him which dominates popular understanding. Anyone interested in the evolution of Islamism in the 20th century should read it. John Calvert in the Middle East Channel: "The Afterlife of Sayyid Qutb" (Dec. 15, 2010).
Thomas Hegghammer, Jihad in Saudi Arabia. The best book written on the evolution of the jihadist trend inside of Saudi Arabia by a rising star in the field (and one of the patrons of the Jihadica blog). By exploiting a vast array of new documentary evidence and interviews inside of Saudi Arabia, Hegghammer paints a compelling portrait of the divisions within Saudi Islamism, locating al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula He explains why al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula launched its wave of attacks in 2003, and why the Saudi state was able to respond as effectively as it did. A must read for those interested in Saudi Arabia, al-Qaeda, or Islamism. Thomas Hegghammer in the Middle East Channel: "The Case for Chasing al-Awlaki" (Nov. 24, 2010), "Lady Gaga vs. the Occupation" (March 31, 2010).
F. Gregory Gause III, The International Relations of the Persian Gulf. This long-awaited analytical overview of the dynamics of the Gulf region has immediately taken its place as one of the key texts for the field of the International Relations of the Middle East. Gause works as easily within the domestic politics of the Gulf States as he does at the level of regional jockeying for power and security. The book presents a definitive and persuasive account of the regime security imperatives behind the Iraqi decisions to invade Iran in 1980 and Kuwait in 1990, of the tripolar logic of the Iranian-Iraqi-Saudi competition for regional supremacy, of the formation of the GCC, and of the steadily shifting American role in the region. Greg Gause in the Middle East Channel: "The Iraq War: The Hole in the Middle Eastern Doughnut" (Nov. 30, 2010), "What Saudis Really Think About Iran" (May 6, 2010), "Strikeout: How Cook Fails to Bring the Neocons Back" (March 17, 2010).
Nir Rosen, Aftermath. The fearless journalist Nir Rosen grapples here with the course of the Iraq war and its effects upon the region as a whole. Ranging from Lebanon and Jordan to Afghanistan, Rosen digs deep into the experience of the war from the perspective of Iraqis and Arabs instead of from the U.S. military-centric perspective of most writing on the war. While his description of Iraq is vital and important, perhaps the most gripping sections of the book focus on the rise of a Salafi trend in Lebanon. The Iraq war will be shaping the region for many years to come. Nir Rosen in the Middle East Channel: "What America Left Behind in Iraq" (Sept. 7, 2010).
Joy Gordon, Invisible War. While most Americans have largely forgotten the long decade of U.S. led sanctions on Iraq, Gordon forces attention back to their long-lasting effects on the Iraqi state and society. She offers a deeply researched account of American and United Nations policies towards the sanctions which captures the contradictions between an overt focus on forcing Saddam Hussein to surrender his WMD programs and a deeper interest in maintaining containment ("keeping Saddam in a box") and pushing for regime change -- contradictions which remain deeply relevant to current debates about Iran. Gordon tracks the effects of the sanctions on Iraqis, which drove international outrage as the decade of the 1990s dragged on but which most of the world now seems eager to forget. Joy Gordon in the Middle East Channel: "Lessons We Should Have Learned From the Iraqi Sanctions" (July 8, 2010).
There were also some very intriguing books that I haven't yet had the chance to read. Timur Kuran's The Long Divergence: How Islamic Law Held Back the Middle East promises to be controversial. Desert Kingdom: How Oil and Water Forged Modern Saudi Arabia, by Toby Jones, has just been published by one of our sharpest analysts of the Gulf. In the Shadow of Sectarianism: Law, Shi'ism and the Making of Modern Lebanon, by Max Weiss, is based on a dissertation which a committee I headed named the Malcolm Kerr Award for Best Dissertation a few years ago. And I'm sure there are others -- put them in the comments section so I know what to read over Christmas break!
Also, in case anyone cares, I think that this year has roundly disconfirmed Nas's hypothesis that "Hip Hop is Dead." My personal list of the top albums of the year: Kanye West's brilliant My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which delivers on the promise of GOOD Fridays even if it didn't include the Power remix with Jay-Z and even though Nicki Minaj's atrocious verse ran "Monster" into a ditch; Eminem's Recovery, which would have been #1 with a bullet almost any other year; Big Boi's ridiculously fun Sir Lucious Left Foot / The Son of Chico Dusty; and B.o.B's The Adventures of Bobby Ray. Reflection Eternal rounds out the top 5, thanks to disappointing showings by T.I. and Lil Wayne (please don't mention the abysmal offerings by Minaj or Drake). But ahead of that I would place at least three mixtapes: J.Cole's Friday Night Lights; Wale's More About Nothing; and Jay Electronica's Victory. Not a bad year in music.

Order in the next 20 hours 54 minutes for express home delivery on Tuesday
The Rubi Group 1 car seat is Maxi-Cosi's latest Group 1 car seat. Refreshingly good looking and packed with loads of features the Rubi offers style, comfort and safety in abundance.
The Maxi-Cosi Rubi Group 1 car seat attaches with your car's 3-point seat belt, it has an adjustable headrest to grow with the child and padded harness to offer greater protection for little ones chest in the event of a collision, with deep padded side protection confirming your child is in safe hands.
The Rubi doesn't compromise on comfort. Four recline positions provide total comfort and ergonomic support to little one, with an elevated seat position allowing them to see the world outside. The Rubi's intuitive belt routing make installing the seat simple and easy, whilst the belt tensioner provides a stable and secure fit.
The covers are easily wiped clean or can be quickly removed and washed when they've been particularly mucky pups.
Very stylish and comfortable, reclines so when my little one falls asleep she can lay back which is better then the one we had as it did not recline
My one year old daughter is very comfortable in this car seat and she falls asleep very easily in it. The straps are easy to clip together and secure and it is also very easy and quick to lengthen them and then re-tighten when she has bulkier clothes on. The angle of the recline is not as far back as I thought it would be but have compared with other makes owned by friends and the recline is very similar on all of them. Very sturdy, easy to fit into our Citroen Xsara Picasso and am confident about safety. Overall very happy with product, would recommend.
It arrived damaged during shipping. Not worth the money.
We bought two of these (one for a 2 and a half yr old and one for a 1yr Old). We chose this design for its compact size and width. Seats were very easy to install and adjust, are comfortable (we've had no complaints from either child!)and nice 'high up' position - giving the children a great view out of the window. Also fantastic price from Kiddicare.
After weeks of looking for a car seat for my 6 month old baby and as there is just too much choice out there, i came across this one......its fantastic! It was so easy to put in the car, the seat belt is hidden and is so sturdy! My son loves it, its quite high which he likes as he can now see out of the window, it also reclines in 4 stages.....perfect for when hes fallen asleep! Would defiantly recommend this car seat to anyone!

Italian-American Group Thinks Slight of Sexist Civic Virtue Statue Is Insult to Their Heritage
Some are pulling for the dismissal of the somewhat sexist Civic Virtue, but an immigrant group in Queens is defending the bare-bottomed statue in the name of its Italian-American heritage.
The Piccirilli Brothers, a New York City-based Italian group who has worked on various monuments erected throughout the country, apparently collaborated back in the day with Frederick MacMonnies, the sculptor of Civic Virtue, according to the blog Queens Crap. Read More

Panama Multisport Tour
- Marvel at the Panama Canal, a 99-year-old engineering feat of epic proportions
- Discover Panama's enthralling history and gloriously rich indigenous cultures
- Savor Boquete's cool highland air and stunning forest as you hike in the realm of mighty Volcán Barú
- Bask on a secluded beach and relax at tropical retreats
- Visit a wildlife research and rehabilitation center to get up close and personal with Panamian species like the howler monkey
From the Canal to the Tropical Highlands & Islands
Let's explore a Caribbean rain forest in the morning. Then swim in the Pacific - we could ride our bikes there if we wanted to. Only 50 miles separate the two bodies of water, but let's fly instead. The wildlife in Panama is espectacular! The most diverse in Central America. In fact, it's "hyper-diverse."

Guests Reviews About This Trip
I thought the trip was amazing! The trip was really well thought out to show the wide diversity that Panama has to offer. Also all of the local guides we had were really able to add in-depth local knowledge. I thought the leaders went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience... I wish they could be on all of our family vacations.- Bryn Mawr, PA

interesting. i wouldn't be revealing such juicy details to one and all Andy, those might be items some might go hunting for to sell for a penny. you might find your collection burglarized and then what would you be feeling. glad to hear that you've put a dime down on some Ozzy things. it would have to be something that touched his body for me...one of his fringed Sabbath shirts or something. that would be sexy as hell, something i could sleep with. a gold single in a glass box - something for display surely but hardly cuddle worth.

Year: 2011
Country: USA
Run Time: 95 minutes
Investigative documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick strikes a nerve with THE INVISIBLE WAR, an account of the epidemic of rape in the U.S. armed forces. Women in the military are more likely to be raped by fellow soldiers than they are to be killed in combat. In a 2005 study of female veterans, 30 percent reported being assaulted by a male colleague or supervisor. But not only women are affected: it is estimated that up to a third of those assaulted are men. There are many reasons why victims fail to come forward: the perpetrator might be their ranking officer, or they don't want to destroy their unit's cohesion. Focusing on emotional interviews with several young women, the film reveals the military's failure to address sex crimes. Sadly, their brutalization has extinguished the pride these soldiers once felt in serving their country. THE INVISIBLE WAR is a harrowing film that won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012. It's a powerful call to action. B.B.

Two dead in apparent murder-suicide in PeachamTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | June 20,2013PEACHAM Vermont State Police say a New Hampshire man showed up at his ex-wifes home Wednesday morning, shot her husband and then himself in an apparent murder-suicide.
Authorities said Jeannie Peabody called police to report that a white van pulled up on the lawn in front of her house in Peacham around 7 a.m. Her husband, Mark Peabody, went outside to talk to the occupant, she said.
She heard gunshots and retreated to the basement, heard footsteps upstairs, and then went to a neighbors house to call 911, police said. She didnt see her husband after he left the house, police said.
Police responded with a SWAT team and search helicopter. They said they found Mark Peabody, 50, dead outside his home and John Jackson, 59, of Amherst, N.H., dead inside the residence. Both had been shot.
Mrs. Peabody was having disagreements with her ex-husband over child support payments, Lt. Bob Cushing said.
Police had no previous reports of violence involving them, he said.
State police sent a detective to Amherst to gather information about Jackson, Cushing said. His vehicle had New Jersey plates and had been rented in St. Johnsbury, police said.
