All Out War
All Out War
All Out War continued to reinforce the sound of New York hardcore by crossing genres of metal and punk that influentially draw from Slayer, Agnostic Front, the Cro-Mags, and Sick of It All. Upon their formation in the early '90s, the metalcore outfit recorded some demos and the 7" Destined to Burn, and played out shows locally around Newburgh and down in N.Y.C. Erik Carrillo (bass), Brad Mader (guitar), Taras Apuzzo (guitar), Matt Byrne (drums), and Mike Score (vocals) released their first album, Truth in the Age of Lies, on the German label Gain Ground in 1997 and embarked on their first tour. The band (whose lineup shuffled throughout its career) would eventually have the chance to share the stage with Deicide, Agnostic Front, Napalm Death, and Earth Crisis, among others. Chicago-based Victory Records put out All Out War's follow-up, For Those Who Were Crucified, in 1998. Tours with Buried Alive, Reach the Sky, and Shadows Fall followed, and after an appearance at the New England Metal Fest in 2001, All Out War broke up. They resurfaced two years later for a benefit show at CBGB, which ultimately led to a new album for Victory that fall entitled Condemned to Suffer. By then, Score and Apuzzo were completed by bassist Andy Pietrolungo, drummer Jesse Sutherland, and guitarist Jose Segarca. That lineup only lasted long enough for a two-week European tour and a bout of dates with Misery Signals before things went sour; everyone but Score left to form Nerve Gas Tragedy. Score eventually welcomed former members Jim Antonelli (guitar) and Erik Carrillo (bass) and longtime friends Jim Bremer (guitar) and Lou Iuzzini (drums) into the All Out War fold; together the quintet recorded April 2007's Assassins in the House of God. ~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi

Armenians, Turks, and Resolutions: The Historical Context Matters
Jul 07, 2011Jan./Feb. 2001 - On September 27, 2000, a resolution was submitted in the House of Representatives "calling upon the President to ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the United States record relating to the Armenian Genocide . . ." A strong campaign by the Turkish government and the Executive Branch ensued to stop the "Armenian Genocide" resolution from a House Floor vote. more
Pax Europeaa: EU Challenges and Prospects in Eurasia, Africa and the Middle East
Jul 07, 2011June 2008- The EU has fundamentally defined relations with its neighbors through its enlargement policy. At present, further enlargement, beyond the countries designated as candidate or potential candidate Member States, appears unlikely in the short term.
Numerous conditions have been pointed out as necessary circumstances prior to any further widening of the Union. more
A Brave New World in Turkish Politics
Jul 07, 2011November 2002 - There are moments in life when a development that one does not find particularly desirable may generate a great sense of relief and even elation. Once a struggle is over, the side effects of its outcome may be seen and appreciated as the harbinger of a new and hopefully auspicious beginning. more
Debalkanizing the Balkans with the Kantian Theory of Democratic Peace
Jul 07, 2011This study focuses on the post-communist Balkans and juxtaposes the positions of what its authors call the "recidivist" and "transitionist" schools of thought. The thesis of the recidivists is that war is a deep characteristic of the Balkans and is destined to recur in the future. The transitionists, on the contrary, posit that war is a product of economic, political and social underdevelopment rather than being specific to particular geographic regions or cultures. Siding with the cautiously optimistic approach of the transitionists, the authors of this study employ a variation of Bruce Russett's Kantian peace theory and attempt to apply it to the post-communist Balkans. more
The Growing Influence of Brussels on Turkish Policy
Jul 07, 2011Jan./Feb. 2002 - The vision of a united Europe that began with the European Coal and Steel Community in 1957 inched closer to reality at the European Union Laeken summit when the EU declared on December 15, 2001, that "the unification of Europe is near." more
Balkan Triangle: Greece, Turkey, and Regional Security
Jul 07, 2011Jan./Feb. 2001 - As the two most strategically important Balkan countries, Greece and Turkey have important roles to play in promoting security, reconstruction, and international integration throughout Southeastern Europe. While Athens and Ankara maintain serious, long-term disputes over Cyprus and the Aegean, the "Central Balkan" region provides a valuable opportunity for cooperation and complementarity that can increase the influence and prestige of both states while enhancing their bilateral relations. more
Euro-Islam v. "Eurabia": Defining the Muslim Presence in Europe
Jul 07, 2011April 2008 - (This article was written as part of Dr. Merdjanova's research at the Wilson Center and published at Religion Dispatches.) In the cacophony of voices in the European public square in the wake of the Fitna controversy, two broader lines can be discerned. While the protagonists of interreligious and intercultural toleration—in both secular and church-related circles—constitute a clear majority, the message sent by Wilders has not fallen on deaf ears. more
The Case For Ending Greece's Ban on Private Universities
Jul 07, 2011September 2003 - For over a century, American colleges and universities, many originating in the 19th century as Protestant seminaries, have operated on a private, non-profit basis in the Mediterranean region. Today, they form the nucleus of the American Association of International Colleges and Universities (AAICU) and have, over the years, added an important dimension to relations between host countries and the United States. more

Espresso Accessories
Making espresso at home does entail a fair amount of accoutrements. Some are absolutely necessary, like espresso machine cleaner and a good tamper; some less so, like a dedicated frothing pitcher. Can you use a jar or old can to steam milk? Probably. Do you want to? Probably not. We care to draw the line at tamping mats, which we don't find useful at all.
If you are going to go all out, you might as well do it up. We don't carry fancy or froo-froo espresso accessories; just basic, useful supplies.

Comments about Shadow SH 980 Archtop Guitar Ebony Bridge with Piezo Pickup:
I own the Shadow SH 980 Archtop Piezo Pickup, I use it on an old EKO archtop that only has a neck pickup installed, so I can blend more high end harmonics into the mix. It also is great to use with an electric archtop guitar like the Kingpin, and then you can get a really good stereo effect by panning each one to its own side. It seems kind of pricey compared to some other less expensive piezo pickups, but this is one you'll never need to replace or regret owning. I really like the fact its very easy to install with the double back tape, you just mount the jack on the tail, but you can also make it a permanent installation if you want to pay the extra dollars to a local guitar tech.Thank you, Guitar Bum Drew

Wall Street Journal Poaches New York Times Social Media Editor Liz Heron
The New York Times social media editor Liz Heron has jumped to rival Wall Street Journal, according to an internal memo sent out today by Journal digital managing editor Raju Narisetti. She replaces Zach Seward, who left late last month to help launch a business news product at Atlantic Media, although the role has been expanded, according to a company spokeswoman. Her official title is "Director, Social Media and Engagement."
She will lead a growing a team and report to Mr. Narisetti, a former Journal deputy managing editor who returned to the Wall Street Journal last month after a three-year stint at The Washington Post immediately following the Murdoch takeover. When he stepped down as managing editor of the Post, editor Marcus Baruchli credited him with increasing the paper's web traffic.
In the memo, reproduced below, managing editor Robert Thomson praised Ms. Heron's "e-empathy and e-expertise." Read More

Oct 11, 2013The Joule hotel was cool since its opening, with its 8-foot cantilevered pool overlooking Main Street, on-site four-star dining and an underground nightclub. Amazingly enough, the owners took a good thing and made it amazing with a massive expansion including a second tower, addition of the region's only Espa, a new farm to table dining experience, massive banquet space, and several retail shops. The nightclub has since closed, but early 2014 a craft cocktail bar is slated for the space. The Joule has officially defined itself as a destination, not just a hotel.

Oct 09, 2012Love the rooftop pool and bar. It hangs out over the street below and part of it is formed by a glass wall so you can look down at the people below. Amazing atmosphere, sexy rooms and super-friendly hotel staff.
Great cocktails, too!
- The Joule, DallasAlexis ClaireJul 05, 2012
The Joule can best be described as plush sophistication, you enter from Main Street, a very busy, noisy street and into this lobby and it's like you've entered another place and with the famous Charlie Palmer Steakhouse along with a lobby wine bar and the PM Lounge, it's a great place for both business travelers and locals to come and enjoy. I especially enjoy hotels with great art and was a little disappointed that none of the employees had much information about the collection when I asked, I was told there was an Andy Warhol, I didn't find it but did find a lot of great pieces. The amenities are luxurious as well, the beds have down comforters and pillows, all guests have direct access to a personal shopper at Neiman's and the bathrooms have a rainforest and adjustable showerhead, a pull out drawer with a full range of toiletries and a high-powered hair dryer which anyone with long hair will really appreciate. The Joule has won honors for its rooftop pool and bar and it should, the pool extends beyond the building with a clear wall and if you aren't afraid of heights you get a great view of the city and the bar serves up drinks and food from Charlie Palmer while you enjoy our urban oasis.

First to ReviewJul 05, 2012If you are an individual that enjoys more of boutique, uniquely styled hotel then this is a great choice for you in dallas. The hotel is very plush with velvety purple and dark color decor. The hotel has a masculine tone to it and it can be noticed in the magazines they have in the rooms, the clientele and the restaurant offerings like Charlie Palmer. One of my favorite things about the hotel is the roof top pool that juts out to an overlook of the street. The food options at the hotel are great if you like steak and wine. Charlie palmer has an extensive wine list and impeccable service.

Exercising in a heated environment helps expunge toxins, make frames more malleable, and conditions bodies for marathons on the sun. Limber up for athletic endeavors with this Groupon.
$27.50 for 15 Bikram-Yoga Classes (Up to $265 Value)
Hot air limbers students' muscles as they flow through Bikram yoga's 26 postures, each building on the last to boost strength and increase flexibility. See the full schedule of 90-minute classes here. Bikram Yoga Laguna Beach doles out towels to all practitioners and mats to first-time yogis and suggests students arrive well-hydrated with an empty stomach. Groupon holders can take 20% off a future class package.
Though Bikram Yoga Laguna Beach offers discounted senior and student rates, this Groupon still represents the best deal available for all customers.
Bikram Yoga Laguna Beach
Bikram Yoga Laguna Beach's instructors, certified by the technique's creator, Bikram Choudhury, sculpt lean frames with strengthening postures performed in elevated temperatures, earning the attention of OC Lifestyle. They lead patrons of all skill levels through 90-minute Bikram yoga classes, bathing bodies in hot air, which helps to loosen limbs for deeper stretching and coaxes out beads of sweat to flush out toxins and internal snowmen. The 26 postures pair up with two breathing techniques to awaken slumbering organs and keep veins coursing with oxygen-rich blood as students bolster balance, strength, and flexibility. The wall-to-wall mirrors reflect the hard-working bodies, which are bathed in natural light flooding in through the white-walled studio's windows. After class, students may opt to capitalize on the studio's close proximity to the beach and cool off in the ocean one block away.
Private instruction pairs yogis with custom personal-training sessions to ensure guests practice proper technique, and private classes for groups bond coworkers, athletes, or groups of friends through focused movements.
I love the instructors and they all are friendly and have really helped me to improve my practice.

BUFFALO -- Dyngus Day 2012 was like any other in Buffalo, a huge party celebrating the end of Lent. That was until it made national headlines thanks to CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. The Polish-American tradition made Cooper's "Rediculist" and uncontrollably laughed.
Shortly after, the Buffalo community stepped in and started a campaign to invite Cooper to this year's Dyngus Day, and it seemed to work.
Dyngus Day Buffalo Co-Founder Eddy Dobosiewicz said, "Right now we know it's on Anderson Cooper's calendar. We know that for a fact and I think he's actually looking forward to it."
Dobosiewicz said he's been promised, barring any breaking news, Anderson Cooper will attend the April 1st party, and that's no joke.
"Airborne Eddy", as many call him, said there will be plenty of pussy-willow and water if Anderson Cooper comes to Buffalo. He's even holding him to being the "Pussy-willow Prince."
"Airborne Eddy" said even though it was a shot at Buffalo, it's given the Queen City international attention.
"The initial reaction was one of upset and anger but if you really take a look at it, the benefits of turning this from a negative to a positive outweigh any adolescent, emotional backlash," said Dobosiewicz.
Dobosiewicz said he wants to make Dyngus Day special for Cooper, if he comes, and said he can't give anything away, but it will be the best one ever.
"It's a little premature but lets just say we're going to blow the roof off any previous Dyngus Days," Dobosiewicz said.
Let the countdown begin. Dyngus Day is less than three months away.

Has anyone installed tile counters in their bathroom? Instead of installing solid granite, i was wondering if it was easy to install granite tile counters in the bathrooms replacing the laminate. My husband is pretty handy around the house and I would want him to do it, to save on the costs.
Any pictures or advice?
I think they only come in standard sizes. Not sure if you can cut down any of the components. I think Home Hardware also carries something similar, by a different manufacturer.
I would normally agree with Peal Girl but I don't think granite tile would be as bad as ceramic tile for a couple of reasons -- it has very crisp edges and you place the tiles very tightly together, with very minimal grout lines. I have seen it in pictures and on TV and it looks good. I think a dark color with dark grout would also minimize the issues Pearl Girl describes.
The other option that you might want to consider is granite tile "slabs" -- they are bigger than tiles but still have a couple of seams. Build Direct carries them: [url]http://www.builddirect.com/Countertops/Granite.aspx[/url]. They're cheaper than a solid granite counter but a little more pricey than tiles. Nice thing is that everything's precut to fit, with all the required edge pieces. I am considering using this in my bathroom, but haven't ordered yet and would like to hear from anyone who has ordered from Build Direct (they're out of B.C.).
my friend has a tile counter top in a bathroom and she hates it. She finds it hard to keep the grout looking clean. She would go with a solid surface if she ever does a redo. It is especially gumming looking where the tiles are cut to fit an oval sink. Maybe a square or rectangular sink would not be as bad. :)

$15 million. Sure, on the surface that number seems pretty gaudy, especially when you consider it's for one season of work on a reality TV show that will add up to maybe one month's work in total for Britney Spears.
But we're talking Britney here and when you aim to reel in the big fish you have to use a really big worm. That might explain why Simon Cowell has gone all-in to get Spears to join him and L.A. Reid on the panel of "Factor" this fall. Spears had been rumored for the gig for months, but considering the low profile she's kept since her string of personal problems several years ago — which included a nearly-total retreat from interviews and unscripted public appearances — the idea of Britney agreeing to appear on live TV twice a week seemed remote.
Cowell typically gets what he wants, though, and now the world is going to see more of Britney than we have since her late 1990s heyday. What does that $15 mil buy you? We break it down ... by the numbers:
$12 million: That's the figure that Jennifer Lopez reportedly earns for her gig on "American Idol." We're not exactly sure what fellow former "Mickey Mouse Club" veteran Christina Aguilera makes for each season of "The Voice," but she reportedly banks $225,000 per episode, which could add up to nearly $10 million a season.
10,721: The approximate number of copies of Spears' Circus album that you could buy with $15 large.
15: The number of Paula Abdul's you could pay for one season of "X Factor" for the price of one Britney Spears.
$131.8 million: Total grosses for Britney's 2009 "The Circus" tour.
$1.5 billion: Total global grosses for Spears' various fragrances, which have sold more than one million bottles in five years.
15: Number of high-end music videos you could make based on the $1 million price tag of Britney's 2004 clip for "Toxic."
750: That's how many $20,000 bras you could buy based on the reported cost of the super high-end 18K gold brassiere Spears wore in her Twister Dance promo.
3: The number of "X Factor" winners who could get paid with Britney's salary for one year.
$485 million: What would be left over after you subtracted Britney's paycheck from what Beyoncé was allegedly offered to join "X Factor."
1: Reality performance shows Spears has appeared on if you count her time on "Star Search" when she was 10.
0: Minutes Spears has spent being a judge on previous reality shows.
18: Years it's been since Britney was a regular on a TV program ("The New Mickey Mouse Club").
13.3: The then-record-setting number of viewers who tuned in to watch a Britney cameo on "Glee" in 2010. (That figure was shattered last year by the post-Super Bowl figure of 26.8 million for a Michael Jackson-themed show.)
Are you excited about Britney joining "X Factor"? Let us know in comments below.

Temperance Hill: Oregon's Pinot Paradise with Dai Crisp!
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Class begins at 7pm. We are often lucky to have visiting winemakers here to lead classes, but we've never had the FARMER here! Dai Crisp is one of Oregon's most well-known vineyard managers. His purview is the famed Temperance Hill vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills region of the Willamette Valley. He grows Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris that go into to site specific bottlings from wineries such as Stevenson-Barrie, Bergstrom, and Brooks. In addition, he also produces his own wine under the Lumos label. Dai will introduce you to this special site and pour numerous examples from multiple wineries, including Lumos, to explain this unique terroir, and the vast variety of styles that can be produced from it!

"Schoch is a true scientist, following the data wherever it leads, heedless of political
pressures or worn-out paradigms. Twenty-two years ago, his redating of the Sphinx launched
the New Archaeology. Forgotten Civilization distills all that has happened since
into a simple conclusion: that solar activity ended the last cycle of high culture and may
destroy ours in turn. Schoch is no scaremonger, no hawker of a pet theory. What we do with
this knowledge is up to us, but once digested, it changes everything."

78% of the CEO
Rick Stamberger
I have been working at SmartBrief part-time for more than 5 years
Pros – SmartBrief has fantastic company culture. Senior management is brilliant and coworkers are friendly, entertaining and make the office an enjoyable place.
Cons – There are not many opportunities for career growth.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at SmartBrief full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – A great culture that encourages collaboration and professional development. A great place to start for entry level positions and mid level management.
Cons – Getting promoted beyond the mid level management is not impossible but extremely difficult. The common turnover deals with entry level positions with a few management positions. VPs and Senior Managers tend to get hired from the outside. I'd advise a new employee to consider their time at SmartBrief to have the shelf life of 2 years.
Advice to Senior Management – Open up the communication about larger goals that transcend beyond the quarterly check ins. Many managers lack true leadership to expose and guide to the larger goals at hand.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at SmartBrief full-time
Pros – This is the best time ever to be selling digital advertising and SmartBrief is great in the sense that you get an unprecedented amount of responsibility so early on in your career-- if you work hard, it will pay off and there is uncapped commission which really is rare these days. We are working among some extremely talented people and everyone should take advantage of their willingness to be a mentor-- especially recent grads- you'll learn a lot.
The office environment is great- everyone really gets along and recently SmartBrief started a softball team so it's a great way to spend more time with people in other departments. This summer each department has been hosting their own happy hour for the rest of the company, which has been a lot of fun.
It's disappointing to see so many complaints about HR- it seems like some people forget that as we expand into a larger organization, we also have to go through some learning curves. In the past year HR has brought on an incredible talent team, and it is amazing to watch the change in how we go about bringing on new talent, as well as developing the talent already here at SmartBrief. Whether you take advantage of it, that is up to you.
Cons – There is low pay for entry level positions until you get promoted into an AE role and can start making commission- but if you bust your ass for a year then it's totally worth it.
Advice to Senior Management – Start being harder on people who don't make their quotas-- there should be no excuse, since they set them.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at SmartBrief full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – SmartBrief delivers and excellent product for B2B advertisers that yield results. In the crowded B2B world, email is king and SmartBrief has that figured out.
Professionally, the company has 2 high quality modern offices--DC/NY, with a great culture and a real understanding of work/life balance. Nobody is looking over your shoulder. There is an inherent trust that we are all adults and we are all self-motivated and that we want to do a good job. So if you have to stay home to meet the cable guy, that's ok. Do your job, get online and work as if you were in the office. No problem.
Cons – The organization is a bit too flat. It is great for young people, but hard to grow the more senior you are in title/experience. When you've gotten all you can out of the organization you need to look outside for the next opportunity. I have seen excellent talent walk out the door due to limited opportunities.
As with many a small company, the growth opportunities are limited so you have to be prepared to check your ambitions at the door.
Advice to Senior Management – Move people around. Foster talent, spread the wealth, but don't be afraid to make unpopular decisions. Ask the hard questions. Stay engaged.
Unfortunately, SmartBrief suffers from a lack of decisiveness. For a small company decisions are not made quickly and employees suffer as a result. Further, there seems to be a small committee of a few who make all of the decisions without proper checks and balances.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at SmartBrief full-time
Pros – Smart people, fun culture, good life/work balance.
Cons – Disorganization, incredibly high turn-over rate, compensation not equal to work load.
Advice to Senior Management – HR - start doing exit interview to find out how to reduce turn-over rate! Incessant turn-over makes everyone's job harder and less pleasant.
I have been working at SmartBrief full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – SmartBrief is a great company that is moving from a start-up atmosphere to a maturing organization. I see lots of growth and development opportunities for myself and others in the future.
Cons – Management has been too patient with poor performers. I am writing because some recent reviews here are totally unfair. I recgonize the people who wrote some of them; they were poor performers who were dragging down the rest of us and are now anonymously griping about a really good company and raising issues that don't exist. Why don't you take a look in the mirror instead of lying?
Advice to Senior Management – Get rid of the dead wood faster. We're behind you.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at SmartBrief full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Amazing place to work, phenomenal culture, flat organization where your ideas get heard and your work contributes directly to a growing company. Right product, right time. Employees genuinely care about one another to the point where it feels like your colleagues are extended family.
Cons – Can't really think of any cons. Great benefits and tons of perks. If I had to pick something they could add, offer gym memberships for all employees, but that's far down on my list.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the great work.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at SmartBrief
Pros – The office is pretty cool. Upper management pacifies employees with free beer and free coffee. Everything is new, so I cannot say anything bad about the office. Most people would be cool with working in our office.
Cons – Poor pay, poor treatment of women, no training, and management by intimidation. You will not advance your career to the next level working here. Do not even try. Many are people talking about quitting and looking for another job. They will make you sign a non-compete so you cannot work anywhere else. Most of the people who quit have to lie and say they are going back to school just to get away from them.
Advice to Senior Management – Try talking with your employees. You might learn something.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at SmartBrief full-time
Pros – Small company, so you get to know everyone. The location is in the center of the city. They have a nice outdoor balcony. There is a Starbucks next to the building so you don't have to walk that far.
Cons – Management does not know what they are doing. Employees receive almost no training and are expected to know what to do. If you do get hired, just plan on eating pork and beans for dinner every night, or living at home with your parents, because you will not make enough money to live.
Advice to Senior Management – Really no benefits for pregnant women, but you serve up all the free beer anybody wants. That speaks volumes, about what you think is important. You should really be ashamed.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at SmartBrief
Pros – Working at SmartBrief is like being on drugs. It's fun, especially if you're younger. The people are genuinely nice and hang out together, the office is pretty, there's free beer, and the CEO can be quite inspiring, actually. Also, to stay there, all you really need to do is just go along with the program (not so terrible, really, not like they're manufacturing anthrax or something); you don't really need to try very hard. If having an easy, pleasant, work environment is more important to you than making money, it's a good place to be.
Cons – Working at SmartBrief is like being on drugs. It's bad for you, especially if you're older, and really, you probably shouldn't do it. Telling other people about your experiences doing it makes them bored, at best, and respect you a little less, at worst. It feels bad to stop doing it, but after a day or two you realize your life is better for it. After I left, I discovered a lot of my more casual acquaintances had thought that I had been working for a non-profit. Must've been the "working for the experience, not the paycheck" vibe that I was giving off. If you prefer making money, building your resume, and accomplishing difficult tasks to having an easy time at work, and you could care less about having free beer at work (not at all a shameless ploy to make recent college grads work for less money, right?), maybe you should look elsewhere.
SmartBrief is a real businessman's business (not necessarily a "Con", depending on who you are). It is very much a marketing and sales organization. Let's face it, E-mail newsletters for trade associations are boring. This is good if you're a businessman, because you have less competition. But do you really want to just write summaries of others' articles if you want a career in journalism? Do you really want to just work with e-mail and websites if you love technology? This doesn't mean it's a terrible place, it just means that senior management does best what it knows best.
Advice to Senior Management – To be honest, watching management in action was one of the highlights of working at SmartBrief for me, because I would probably do some of the same things they do if I were to start my own business. They certainly know how to get good value for the talent they acquire. Also, SmartBrief seems like a solid business. But hey, so is Starbucks; just because I want to be a shareholder doesn't mean I want to work there.
So, the advice: I think the majority of SmartBrief employees are vaguely dissatisfied, but are comfortable enough that they don't want to bother finding something else. Some like their jobs, but not as many as you seem to think. Maybe more really liked their jobs in the past? Was there a great start-up culture that isn't surviving big business bureaucrats moving into management positions? I'm not sure. I think maybe SmartBrief tries to hire ugly ducklings, and I think maybe, deep down, the CEO thinks everyone has a bit of the ugly duckling inside them. But what if they're mostly just ducks after all? Then you end up with a duck pond, not Swan Lake.

There's another fight brewing in Florida, even after the finale of the NBA playoffs and the Heat losing that battle, despite having the big guns.
Several doctors in the Sunshine State are suing Governor Scott and four state officials for adopting the "Privacy of Firearm Owners Act." The doctors claim it is unconstitutional because it doesn't allow them to ask you and me whether we own a gun when admitted for care or consultation. Doctors who proceed and ask questions about firearm ownership are faced with loss of their physician's license.
Think of the ramifications, though. Answering that question could possibly lead to loss of future healthcare or insurance coverage based on the political views of those using the information.
Of course, there is nothing behind all of this except for doctors simply trying to get the most information possible to give you the best care that money can buy. Or is there more? The legal firm representing the doctors just happens to be a high-end firm with offices across the world, and widely known to represent the Brady Campaign. Yes, that's the same Brady Campaign charging forward to limit firearm usage and ownership for you, and me.
I don't know about you, but I view doctors in the same light as my auto mechanic: I want a diagnosis and a fix, all completed in a timely matter at a fair rate. Other than, "Turn your head and cough," and, "You need to monitor your cholesterol better," I don't want any small talk going on about if I own firearms and how many I have locked in the vault.
Now, if the doctor wants to show me his new Smith & Wesson AR, I'm more than happy to compliment the 30-round magazine and the rail accessories.
Good job and good luck to those fighting the good fight in Florida.

The US Supreme Court and Partisan Politics
Produced by:
Has the US Supreme Court scored a victory for free speech or increased the influence of money in politics? We hear about last week's 5-to-4 decision on the rights of corporations. Also, executions, bombs and political turmoil in Baghdad, and controversy over admitting Haitian refugees to this country sounds like a run-up to the next debate over immigration.

Executions, Bombs and Political Turmoil in Baghdad ()
Within minutes of each other, three bombs went off in Baghdad today, striking three hotels full of international news services, nonprofits and business organizations. A least 36 people were killed and 71 injured, including three Iraqis employed by the Washington Post. We get an update from the Post's Leila Fadel and from Liz Sly of the Los Angeles Times.

Main Topic
The US Supreme Court and Partisan Politics ()
Corporations are individuals with First Amendment rights, and they can spend whatever they want to in political campaigns. So said the US Supreme Court last week in a 5-to-4 ruling that overturned two of its own precedents and a 63-year-old limit on corporate spending in political campaigns. The majority said it was lifting the burden of "censorship." The dissenters said it was opening the door wider than ever to corporate corruption. Is the decision a victory for free speech or will it drown out "the voice of the people." Will there be more money in politics than ever before? Will Republicans get a big, new advantage? Will there be all that much of a difference? We look at the ruling, the controversy and the possible impact in this year's elections and beyond.

Reporter's Notebook
Should US Let More Haitian Earthquake Victims Enter the Country? ()
As the US and other countries meet in Montreal today to plan a larger conference on reconstructing Haiti, there's growing pressure to admit refugees to the US, and discussion is beginning to sound like a microcosm of the broader immigration debate. Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) says "humanitarian parole" will allow about 200 Haitian children to have severe injuries treated in Miami. But the Departments of State and Homeland Security are in no hurry to bend the rules. Amy Goldstein reports for the Washington Post.

Re: Welcome WoW fans
You do know Kung Fu Panda is a ripoff from the Pandaren, not the other way around, right? :-)
That said, the idea of an Asian animal using Asian martial arts is not highly original anyway...

Re: Welcome WoW fans
They're releasing the same race and class for both faction. Big mistake there.
Prepare to see nothing but pandas in battlegrounds immediately after release.

Re: Welcome WoW fans
Well, I only use the title "Kung Fu Panda" because I think it's fun.
I actually stopped playing just after they announced the next expansion. It's going to be fun to return to the game, once the expansion hits the streets!

Re: Welcome WoW fans
Yeah, it's definitely going to be hard to pick off your team mates from your enemies in the background if everyone rolls a Panda.

Re: Welcome WoW fans
No desire for Pandas. Still want Ogres. 10+ years and we still need ogres.
24-03-2012, 17:30 #9
Re: Welcome WoW fans
I agree with most, I think Pandaren should have been exclusive to the Alliance, while the Horde could have gotten Ogres, that way, the possibility of Rexxar becoming warchief after the overthrown of Garrosh would be feasible. Thrall should stay as the aspect of Earth, and all the other candidates (horde leaders) are not suitable for warchief, to be honest.
Also, I think Monk should have been a hero class, like Death Knights. Perhaps a "You leave your path at 55 to become a monk" type of scenario.

With the ever changing economy, the business intelligence landscape is also transforming. According to some predictions, the worldwide spending on IT will continuously increase in 2013 and even at the next few years. The growth drivers may include data visualization, big data, speed, agility, self-service, cloud computing, etc. Therefore, the BI suppliers who have these features will be more competitive compared with their rivals.

Comments about Hellboy Deluxe Adult Costume:
bought for costume party. The jacket fits husband fine and looks good although the painted on belt looks cheap.
Hand is just a flat piece of thin plastic does not look like pic at all, we ended up buying another hand online.
Red makeup only enough to cover face of small child had to buy more makeup

Comments about Hellboy Deluxe Adult Costume:
Great costume. Got it for working a halloween event. More people than I would have ever guessed love Hellboy. I must say, I was initially disappointed with the "hand". It is really just a shell with the printing on one side. Worked well for me in the capacity I had to use it for(serving drinks), but if this had been for a party, I would have ponied up the money for the full hand. The full hand is also sold here, and I would bet it would be worth it, just to complete the total look.

It's common to see one amaryllis bulb per pot, but consider planting three, five or more bulbs in a large container for a spectacular display.
For best success with multiple-bulb containers, follow these tips from the Netherlands Flower Bulb Information Center: 1: Position bulbs shoulder to shoulder in potting soil in a broad-based decorative container. 2: For a more pleasing effect, plant all the same color and type. 3: Plant bulbs in potting soil, leaving tapered parts exposed. Keep soil moist until growth begins, then water regularly. 4: Turn container often to keep stems from learning toward the light. 5: After flowering, trim stems to 2 inches high, water as needed, and fertilize monthly.
6: In September, stop watering and keep bulbs away from light.
7: In mid-November, move container back into light and resume watering. This will give you a second bloom by the end of December.

Microsoft actively urges IE 6 users to upgrade
Microsoft has begun a campaign to actively urge users of its 8-year-old Internet Explorer 6 browser to upgrade.
After launching IE 8 in March, Micosoft has concurred with critics that IE 6 is outdated. Many people have dropped the older browser, but the remaining users are often the tough cases--those who don't have a choice because of corporate computing policy or who aren't tech-savvy enough to realize there's a reason to move on.
It's this latter population Microsoft is targeting with a campaign that runs through June 2010 that touts its own IE 8 as a … Read more

Social Media – Content Internships
Bookmark This
One Million by One Million
Social Media – Content InternshipsStudents, as you are gearing up to apply for summer internships, here is an overview of what 1M/1M has in store this year. As you know, our mission is to help 1 Million entrepreneurs build $1 Million in annual revenue. We will be awarding 1M/1M scholarships to those interns who complete 100 hours of successful projects, as follows:
The bulk of the internships this year will be around our work with social media. We've been experimenting with a high velocity Twitter channel [try it by following @sramana and @1Mby1M] with 200 messages a day. Our intent is to make it as content rich as possible, and are looking to bring onboard enthusiastic individuals for the purpose. Success in these positions requires creativity and the ability to quickly absorb knowledge of new topics. You can find an overview of our strategy here.
Our blog is jam-packed with high quality content – interviews, trend analysis, stock analysis, interviews with industry leaders, company profiles, videos, and most recently, even a newly launched comic strip. All this great content needs to be carefully packaged and mapped to the Twitter channel. Micro-blogging is a different medium than straight blogging. We need your help to map the content from the blog to Twitter.
You will be reading a lot of insightful material from diverse topics such as Finance, Entrepreneurship, Sales and Marketing and craft micro-blogging content. This exercise will teach you a ton on entrepreneurship and market trends. The experience and the scholarship together we expect would give you a good introduction to entrepreneurship.
Are you interested? Are you a creative individual willing to learn and execute social media marketing strategies? Please fill up your LinkedIn profile in as much detail as possible, and send your cover letter to Attention Sramana Mitra and Ravi Bulusu.

A while back I posted a query about how best to draw DAGs (directed acyclic graphs) on a PC. I would like to thank Ralf Grosserhode and Kevin Russell for taking the time to respond. Ralf Grosserhode mentioned StarOffice by Stardivision as a good option. It is reasonably priced and has some nice "presentation" features that makes it good for drawing maps, etc. More information about this software can be found at: http://www.stardivision.com/index.html http://www.stardivision.de Kevin Russell recommended the Graphviz package of graph- drawing tools, which he said would be "overkill" for simple DAGs but useful. The URL is: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/description.html Since I'm a WordPerfect user, I've found CorelDraw to be okay for DAGs with arrows and nodes, so long as you don't have to insert too many figures into your text. On the other hand, I have stumbled onto a way of making attribute-value-style DAGs (a.k.a. AVMs) with WP. If the line spacing is set at 0.5 within a text box, you can get symmetric-looking AVMs. The square brackets can be done by using the linedraw (box drawing) option in another text box (or however many you need), which then can be nested in the original text box and dragged into place. Unfortunately, your computer will probably start to slow down after about five AVMs, though. If anyone else happens to know of any other tricks, let me know at: email@example.com Thanks again to Ralf and Kevin, Joe Hilferty __________________________________________________________ Home page: http://lingua.fil.ub.es/~hilferty/homepage.html |
