A living example of overcoming obstacles and defining one's own success and future, Max Siegel's track record in business has consistently been that of financial growth and competitive success. Siegel's family history as a youth was marked by divorce, the early death of his father and growing up in an environment of poverty, addiction and abuse. Charting his own course not dictated by his circumstances, he became the first African-American to graduate with honors from Notre Dame law school. In a career that began as a teen-age shift manager at Long John Silver and later as a sales rep for General Motors, he has become one of the country's most prominent sports and entertainment executives by employing a philosophy of understanding the motivations of the clients and partners he works with.
Early in his career, Siegel began his own sports representation agency, where his clients included Hall of Famers Reggie White and Tony Gwynn. He then moved into the music industry and was Senior Vice President at Sony/BMG and as President of Zomba Gospel, Tommy Boy Gospel and Verity Records, where he led one of the most profitable divisions in the Sony BMG system. He also was part of the executive team overseeing the careers of stars such as Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Usher.
Bucking traditional views of the industry, he was named President of Global Operations at Dale Earnhardt Inc., where he sold tens of millions of dollars in sponsorship; staying in the auto racing industry as the owner of Rev Racing, Siegel took NASCAR's Drive for Diversity program and advanced it from a fledging effort to add diversity to the sport into a competitive juggernaut on the racetrack. In 2012, Rev Racing driver Kyle Larson became the first Drive for Diversity Driver to win the K&N Pro Series East title; this year Larson was named Rookie of the Year for NASCAR's Nationwide Series.
A native of Indianapolis, Siegel currently is CEO of Indy-based USA Track & Field, the national governing body for track & field, long distance running and race walking. Throughout his career, he has created literary, television and film properties, including the 2010 BET Networks series, "Changing Lanes," and the 2011 ESPN documentary, "Wendell Scott: A Race Story." He also is the author of "Know What Makes Them Tick: How to Successfully Negotiate Almost Any Situation."
A national figure in entertainment, sports, motivational speaking and diversity affairs, Siegel has appeared on Oprah, NPR's Tavis Smiley, ABC's "Good Morning America," ESPN, CNN, and CNBC; in print, he has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the New York Times, Ebony's Power 100, Crain's New York Business, Black Enterprise and Billboard Magazine, among many others.

Asbestos is dangerous and is harmful to humans. A naturally occurring mineral, it is a known carcinogen and its long, sharp microscopic fibers can penetrate and remain in the human body. Diseases associated with asbestos exposure include asbestosis, lung cancer, and cancers of the stomach, esophagus, colon and pancreas.
Asbestos can cause a number of conditions, some of which are particularly debilitating and fatal. The problems themselves do not surface until many years after the initial exposure.
Many problems associated with asbestos are related to breathing in the particles. The lungs are encased in a double lined fine membrane, the pleura. Microscopic fibers such as asbestos can evade the bodies protective mechanisms and embed themselves in the lower sections of the lungs. Some fibers will remain in the lung without apparent effect but a proportion may cause lung damage and disease.

More than three quarters of the consumers surveyed believe that alternative energy brought benefits, and a slight majority, 54 percent, would pay an additional 5 percent on their electric bills....
Transition to Dynamic Pricing
A step-by-step approach to intelligent rate design.
the time-varying nature of electricity supply costs.
A tariff that incorporates both an increasing block structure and time-varying pricing can provide adequate price incentives for encouraging energy efficiency and demand response. On the other hand, challenges in implementing such economically efficient pricing have been a key driver in the use of incentives to promote economic efficiency and demand response (DR). Incentives for energy efficiency are designed to account for the market failure in setting correct electricity prices that incorporate social marginal costs. Incentives for DR options, such as direct load-control, reflect the historical perception that load-control technology is cheaper than time-of-use metering. They also reflect a perception that behavioral response to time-varying pricing is more unreliable than push-button technology options.
It's not hard to design economically efficient rates, even ones that incorporate the inherent uncertainty in supply conditions. What is difficult is designing economically efficient rates that customers understand well, that overcome the political challenge of transitioning from longstanding cross-subsidies to more equitable and efficient cost allocation, and that can be implemented cost effectively. The interplay and tradeoffs between economic efficiency and the other criteria needs to be re-examined in future regulatory deliberations.
• Promote equity : Equity in ratemaking can mean different things to different people. For some, it means preserving cross-subsidies and making sure that no one is made worse off relative to their existing situation. Of course, for this to be good for society, one has to assume that the existing situation was good to begin with. If the existing situation consists of significant cross-subsidies, some individuals will be made worse off when those cross-subsidies are eliminated—even though all they are giving up are financial gains that weren't theirs to begin with. Thus, the most conservative definition of optimality, attributed to the economist Vilfredo Pareto, rears its head and crimps forward progress.
A Pareto improvement is one in which at least one person is made better off by a change in policy, while no one is made worse off. Adherence to only Pareto-optimal changes makes it impossible to move to a better allocation of resources through more efficient pricing, even if people agree it's ultimately the correct outcome. An alternative and less restrictive economic metric is the Hicks-Kaldor optimality criteria, which states that if, as the result of a price change, winners gain enough to be able to pay off losers, and still be ahead, then that constitutes a welfare improvement for a society as a whole—even if the winners are not required to make such compensation. Note that if the winners were required to make the compensation, we would be back to the Pareto Optimality criterion.
An alternative definition of equity means having lower rates for low-income consumers, as is the case with the California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE) program that provides a discount of at least 20 percent for low-income users. While rate options such as these are common throughout the industry, most economists would argue they distort price signals and lead to excess electricity consumption.
A third definition of equity is accurate cost allocation—that is,

Networks Promoting Employment
Employment issues are no longer solved by individual actors on the labor market; instead, employment networks are enlisting all key actors. These include businesses, politicians, public administrators, unions, trade associations and universities — essentially anyone affected by the labor market's current problems. The interplay of all actors allows networks to bring new momentum to improving employment opportunities.
Their particular strength lies in developing, testing and sharing new methods for integrating difficult target groups. Why keep reinventing the wheel?
At a regional level, participants develop solutions for their specific regional problems. As an expression of regional identity, viable solutions can be tested on-site while discussion is still taking place at higher, more distant levels.

Darn. It may have something to do with the new "addons" Blizzard added to the addons folder in patch 4.1. They added some extra Blizzard addon modules that it's possibly re-downloading after WoW detects a different Addon folder.
still doing the 1.1gb patch after moving out the old interface and wtf folders and replacing with any ui wtf/interface folders. fml
Darn. It may have something to do with the new "addons" Blizzard added to the addons folder in patch 4.1. They added some extra Blizzard addon modules that it's possibly re-downloading after WoW detects a different Addon folder.
going to try this tomorrow morning after i get off work http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1999565345
It's very bizarre and quite frustrating. Back too the drawing board. Thanks a lot to both of you trying to troubleshoot this though.
ceox, visit the link i posted. it works for me as far as stopping the 1.1gb patch from downloading each time you open wow.
Ill give it a go, And post my result. Thanks
I've gotten mine working, but here's my question about one of the addons. Its pitbull. Under your health what does that grey bar that fills up blue when you cast and use stuff indicate? Its not a timer and idk what the .3% stands for either. Other than that I love this UI. Thanks for the release!
the cast bar is quartz. when you hover over the power bar it shows your experience and is part of pitbull iirc.
How would I go about changing the experience to Rep?
Haven't been able to try this yet as im over my download quota for the month resets tomorrow midnight. So will try first thing. Hopefully get some results. Thanks
after doing the fix and doing repair i had to download ~2.7gb but after that it works fine. the log in screen still displays pegi rating instead of esrb rating but just check to make sure in your realmlist.wtf file that it says us login and not eu and that's that.
Here's how you counter the download. If you've already started downloading the patch then this won't work for you.
But for those who are new.. this is what you do.
Just take his addons, copy them over your addons and replace them. (Do not replace the addons folder) By this I mean open Rekcinads addon folder and drag the addons into your folder.
Then follow the directions up to the part where you delete your WTF Folder.
Open up your WTF folder.
Click on Account
Click your account that you wish to set this up for.
Now open up Rekcinads Wtf folder and click on "Accountname"
Then in account name you will See "SavedVariables"
Open that up and drag the variables to your saved variables folder.
After that click and drag all of the cache.md5 files (all of the files except for the saved variables and the server name folder)
Copy and replace what you have in there.
After that go into your server folder.
Open up Rekcinads servername folder.
Then just simply copy the CharnameDps folder or tank folder over and name them to whichever toon you want to set them up for.
yeh we did all that skreem and wow will sometimes just bug out and start forcing you to download 1.1gb patches. this can happen without even replacing ui's...
Yeah I didn't understand that tutorial you posted Destruyen pretty much ruined my install lol downloading the 14gig all over. Guess im stuck with normal blizz frames or TukUI
Thanks anyway
Well the reason its bugging is there are files being changed in the WTF folder. 4.1 files changed in it which is why people are having to download that patch. Really you can replace everything except for the Config.wtf and launcher.wtf
I tried the way you said Skreem before doing the other way Destruyen posted, And it sort of worked some mods loaded but the profiles weren't loading or something. It didn't look like Reck's UI.
Back to the drawing board for me that's all thanks anyway
You have to actually go in and set it to that profile. Like for bartender - you have to /bar go down to the profiles and load the "default" or "DPS" profile. Its time consuming yes because you have to load every profile, but it sure beats downloading a 1.1 GB patch.
Yeah I did load the profiles but it still was not like Recks not to worry I'll give it another go once I finish downloading this 14gig lol
What resolution are you running it in? Im 1280x1024 because thats what my monitor supports. So I had to change it around a bit. This is how mine looks now.
1680 x 1050
Got it working just nicely
Still got some cleaning up to do

It's official, Patch 3.3 drops today (or tomorrow for our EU visitors)! To help you keep on top of all the new features coming in this patch (and give you something to do while we all wait for the servers to come back up), we've put together what I'm going to call Tankspot's Patch 3.3 Survival Guide. Follow through the break below, and don't forget to check out the new Weekly Marmot videos also!
Patch 3.3: Fall of the Lich King
Table of Contents
- Icecrown Citadel
- Shadowmourne
- Quel'Delar
- User Interface Updates
- Major Class Changes
- Weekly Raid Quests
- Official Patch Notes
Icecrown Citadel
The largest addition in Patch 3.3 is the opening of Icecrown Citadel as a new dungeon hub. It consists of three 5-man wings, and one massive raid dungeon.
Icecrown Raid Dungeon
The Icecrown raid dungeon (most commonly referred to simply as Icecrown Citadel or ICC) contains a total of twelve encounters, including the Lich King himself. Like all Wrath of the Lich King raid content, ICC can be attempted on 10-man or 25-man modes. All of the encounters feature hard modes as well, however with a slightly different implementation than in Ulduar or Trial of the Crusader.
Icecrown hard modes will be activated by using a simple toggle in the UI. The interface implementation is similar to switching between Normal and Heroic ToC. However, there is no separate raid lockout for hard mode Icecrown attempts; the switch is made from inside the instance. If you wish to attempt, for example, Heroic Sindragosa, you would simply set the toggle to Heroic before pulling. This activates the heroic mode, along with any new mechanics or increases in boss health and damage, and sets the loot table to drop Heroic-quality items. This can be changed mid-clear, so if you've just killed Heroic Rotface but wish to complete the rest of the instance (or even just the next boss) on normal mode, you can simply switch the toggle back to Normal.
Initially, only four encounters will be available: Lord Marrowgar, Lady Deathwhisper, the Gunship Battle, and Deathbringer Saurfang. After several weeks (no official statement has been made with an actual timeframe), the Plagueworks will be opened, and the Rotface, Festergut, and Professor Putricide encounters will be available. After another few weeks, the Crimson Hall will be opened, giving access to the Blood Princes and Blood-Queen Lana'thel. A few weeks after that, the final gate to the Frostwing Halls will open, allowing access to Valthiria Dreamwalker, Sindragosa, and the Lich King.
There is also a limited attempts system in place, similar to the one seen in Heroic Trial of the Crusader, but with a few key differences. First, the attempts will only count against four bosses: Putricide, Lana'thel, Sindragosa, and the Lich King. Second, failed attempts will be counted regardless of whether you were attempting the Normal or Heroic version of the encounter. Third, although only 5 attempts will be available for Professor Putricide when the Plagueworks first open, this number increases to 10 when the Crimson Hall opens and 15 when the Frostwing Halls open. These attempts are shared between all four "main" bosses, so if you have 10 available attempts total and wipe twice on Putricide before killing him, you will have 8 attempts remaining to kill Lana'thel. Finally, more attempts will be rewarded every few weeks after the Frostwing Halls open (it is unknown so far what the maximum number will be).
Item level distribution is similar to that seen in Trial of the Crusader:
- Ilevel 251 gear drops from 10-man Normal encounters
- Ilevel 264 gear drops from 25-man Normal and 10-man Heroic encounters
- Ilevel 277 gear drops from 25-man Heroic encounters
Tier 10 gear utilizes a similar, but more fluid version of the system seen in ToC. All T10 items begin at Item Level 251, and are purchased with Emblems of Frost. Shoulders and Gloves cost 60 Emblems of Frost, other pieces cost 95. You may then upgrade this ilevel 251 item to ilevel 264 by collecting a class-specific token (split by the standard Protector/Vanquisher/Conqueror class split seen on armor tokens from previous tiers) and trading that, along with your ilevel 251 piece, for the upgraded item. Ilevel 264 items can be upgraded to ilevel 277 in the same way with a Heroic-quality token. There is no way to collect the ilevel 264 or 277 items without first obtaining an item of the previous tier -- so don't feel like you're wasting badges by buying the 251 versions!
ICC also has its own dungeon-specific faction: the Ashen Verdict. You may raise your reputation with them by defeating enemies within either 10 or 25-man ICC. Aside from providing unique ilevel 264 profession patterns, the Ashen Verdict will also provide you with an upgradeable ring (with physical DPS, caster DPS, healer, and tank options available). Upgrades are given with each increase in faction, and you may swap your ring out for a different type at any time for the cost of 200 gold.
Many pre-release guides are already available here on TankSpot for Icecrown Citadel encounters. These can be found in our Icecrown Citadel Strategy forum. Of course, we will be also releasing in-depth video guides within the days and weeks to come!
New 5-Man Dungeons
Three new 5-Man dungeons are available with the opening of Icecrown Citadel: the Forge of Souls, the Pit of Saron, and the Halls of Reflection. These are tied together through an epic quest line in which players assist either Jaina Proudmoore or Sylvanas Windrunner (depending on your faction) in an important mission deep inside the Lich King's lair.
The first of the three wings is the Forge of Souls. Two bosses are found inside: Bronjahm the Godfather of Souls, and The Devourer of Souls. Only by defeating these two will you gain access to the Pit of Saron, where you will find Forgemaster Garfrost, Krick and Ick, and Scourgelord Tyrannus. As before, defeating them will give access to the final wing: the Halls of Reflection. Here, Falric and Marwyn guard the entrance to the Lich King's private chambers... where he waits, patiently.
All three wings feature a Normal and Heroic mode, and are treated as separate instances for purposes of lockout timers. Boss kills on Normal mode reward players with item level 219 gear, and Heroic mode rewards are item level 232.
Access to the Icecrown Citadel raid dungeon also means access to the legendary axe, Shadowmourne. At least eventually. All we know from direct testing on the PTR is that the chain is only available to Warriors, Death Knights, and Paladins who have reached Friendly reputation with the Ashen Verdict. Aside from a hefty requirement of 25 Primordial Saronite, the first step of the chain requires you to kill Festergut and Rotface, who will not be accessible until the first gate opens. Primordial Saronite are the Crusader Orbs of the Icecrown raid instance, and may also be purchased for 23 Emblems of Frost. Players interested in pursuing this quest line may want to consider saving their emblems.
More information on Shadowmourne is available on the Official World of Warcraft site: World of Warcraft Community Site
Shadowmourne isn't the only epic questline opening in 3.3 -- the Quel'Delar chain is now fully available as well. Unlike Shadowmourne, the Quel'Delar chain is completeable by any class, and offers appropriate rewards as well (although DPS specs will likely find the final result more rewarding). Beginning the chain, however, could be very difficult -- you must first be lucky enough to find Quel'Delar's battered hilt.
User Interface Updates
Quest Tracking
Many updates and improvements to the quest log and world map are being introduced. A detailed writeup is available on the official World of Warcraft site, but the short and sweet version is that finding quest objectives will be much much easier than ever before. Opening the world map will not only display quest log information for all of your active quests in the area, but selecting a quest will show areas of interest such as NPC locations and mob spawns as well.
Dungeon Finder
The LFG system has received a complete overhaul in the form of the new Dungeon Finder tool. This functions very similar to the Battleground system; solo players or small groups can enter a queue, with a handful of possible options, and the tool will fill out the group and give the players an option to teleport directly to the dungeon.
Players are given the opportunity to select instances they'd like to run, or to have the Dungeon Finder randomly select an instance to place them in. Should players select the Random Dungeon option, they will be rewarded with two Emblems of Frost (on Heroic) or Emblems of Triumph (on normal) at the end of the run. This, along with the weekly raid quests (see below), replaces the current Daily Heroic system.
The Dungeon Finder is much more careful in creating a group than the LFG tool -- aside from ensuring that every group has both a tank and a healer, it also checks a player's gear to make sure they're matching them up with similarly-geared players (and avoid putting them in an instance they're simply not ready for). To help ensure there's always a good pool of potential groupmates, cross-realm dungeons are now possible!
The official patch notes have many more details on this exciting new system.
Major Class Changes
This section will only list the class changes that are significant enough to noticeably impact the way you play your character. For a more complete listing of changes, see the official patch notes.
- Taunt Diminishing Returns: We've revised the system for diminishing returns on Taunt so that creatures do not become immune to Taunt until after 5 Taunts have landed. The duration of the Taunt effect will be reduced by 35% instead of 50% for each taunt landed. In addition, most creatures in the world will not be affected by Taunt diminishing returns at all. Creatures will only have Taunt diminishing returns if they have been specifically flagged for that behavior based on the design of a given encounter.
Death Knight
- Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle: There is now a 1-handed version of this rune in addition to the current 2-handed rune.
- Rune Strike: Threat generated by this ability increased by approximately 17%.
- Scourge Strike: Redesigned. The base ability now deals 50% weapon damage plus an additional amount as physical damage. However, for each disease the death knight has on the target, the target will take additional shadow damage equal to 25% of the physical damage done.
- Rebirth: The cooldown on this spell has been lowered from 20 minutes down to 10 minutes. Cannot be used in Arenas.
- Gift of the Earthmother: Redesigned. This talent now increases spell haste by 2/4/6/8/10% and reduces the base global cooldown of Lifebloom by 2/4/6/8/10% instead of its previous effects.
- Misdirection: Redesigned. Instead of having finite charges, it now begins a 4-second timer when the hunter using Misdirection performs a threat-generating attack, during which all threat generated by the hunter goes to the friendly target. In addition, multiple hunters can now misdirect threat to the same friendly target simultaneously.
- Pet talents have seem some fairly significant changes, check the official notes for details
- Arcane Empowerment: This talent now also grants 1/2/3% increased damage done by the mage's party or raid for 10 seconds after the mage gets a critical strike with Arcane Explosion, Arcane Missiles, Arcane Barrage, or Arcane Blast. This effect is exclusive with Ferocious Inspiration and Sanctified Retribution.
- Deep Freeze: This spell now deals a large amount of damage to targets permanently immune to stuns. In addition, when this ability deals damage it will no longer consume two charges of Fingers of Frost for those mages with the Shatter talent.
- Frozen Core: This talent now also causes Ice Lance critical strikes to reduce the cast time of the mage's next Frostbolt or Frostfire Bolt by 0.4/0.7/1 seconds.
- Flash of Light: This spell no longer causes a heal-over-time effect unless the player has the Infusion of Light talent.
- Lay on Hands: This ability will place Forbearance on the paladin if used on his or herself. It will not place Forbearance on others.
- Divine Guardian: This talent no longer increases the amount of damage transferred to the paladin from Divine Sacrifice. Instead it causes all raid and party members to take 10/20% reduced damage while Divine Sacrifice is active. In addition, the duration has been changed to 6 seconds, however the effect does not terminate when Divine Sacrifice is removed before its full duration.
- Divine Sacrifice: Redesigned. The effect of Divine Sacrifice is now party-only and the maximum damage which can be transferred is now limited to 40% of the paladin's health multiplied by the number of party members. In addition, the bug which allowed Divine Sacrifice to sometimes persist despite reaching its maximum damage has been fixed. Divine Sacrifice will now cancel as soon as its maximum damage value is exceeded in all cases. Finally, damage which reduces the paladin's health below 20% now cancels the effect early.
- Shadowform: This talent also now causes Devouring Plague and Vampiric Touch to benefit from haste. Both the period length and the duration of these spells will be reduced by haste. In addition, the mana cost has been reduced from 32% to 13% of base mana.
- Deadly Poison: In addition to its existing effects, when a rogue applies Deadly Poison to a target which has already reached the maximum number of applications, this will also trigger the poison which the rogue is using on his or her other weapon.
- Fire Nova Totem: This totem has been replaced with a new spell, Fire Nova, which is available at the same ranks as the old Fire Nova Totem. Existing characters will automatically learn this new spell in place of the totem. With a Fire Totem active, shamans will be able to use Fire Nova (fire magic) to emit the same area-of-effect damage as the old Fire Nova Totem from the active Fire Totem, not consuming the totem in the process. Fire Nova will activate a 1.5-second global cooldown when used and has a 10-second spell cooldown. The caster must be within 30 yards of the totem to use this ability, but does not need to be within line of sight of the totem.
- Reincarnation: The cooldown on this spell has been lowered from 60 minutes down to 30 minutes.
- Create Soulstone: The cooldown on this spell and duration of its buff have been lowered from 30 minutes down to 15 minutes. Cannot be used in Arenas.
- Decimation: Redesigned. When Shadowbolt, Incinerate or Soul Fire hit a target that is at or below 35% health, the cast time of Soul Fire is reduced by 20/40% for 8 seconds. Soul Fires cast under the effect of Decimation cost no shards.
- Molten Core: Redesigned. This talent now increases the duration of Immolate by 3/6/9 seconds and provides a 4/8/12% chance to gain the Molten Core effect when Corruption deals damage. The Molten Core effect empowers the next 3 Incinerate or Soul Fire spells cast within 15 seconds (Incinerate: increases damage done by 6/12/18% and reduces cast time by 10/20/30%; Soul Fire: increases damage done by 6/12/18% and increases critical strike chance by 5/10/15%). Molten Core now has a new spell effect.
- Conflagrate: Redesigned. This talent now consumes an Immolate or Shadowflame effect on the enemy target to instantly deal damage equal to 9 seconds of Immolate or 8 seconds of Shadowflame, and causes additional damage over 3 seconds equal to 3 seconds of Immolate or 2 seconds of Shadowflame. In addition, the periodic damage of Conflagrate is capable of critically striking the afflicted target.
- Victory Rush: This ability is now trainable at level 6.
Weekly Raid Quests
Archmade Lan'dalock, who used to offer the Daily Heroic quests, now offers a raid-oriented alternative. Every week, one raid boss will be selected, and players who successfully defeat that boss (as long as they have the quest in their log) will be rewarded with 5 Emblems of Frost and 5 Emblems of Triumph. All of the possible targets are very early in their respective instances, so this should serve as a quick and easy way for raiding guilds to grab some extra badges.
Official Patch Notes

I keep seeing mention that what keeps people from using a dps weapon to tank currently is the defense requirements. This is only part of the picture. There is no maximum survivability a tank needs. More is always better. The reason that a tank would not currently want to use a dps weapon to tank is because of the survivability stats that they would be giving up by not using a tanking weapon, regardless of whether or not you can easily maintain the crit immunity defense requirement. Stop saying that. It's a bad argument. Of course we can re-gem and re-enchant to make up for the defense. But you cannot make up the stamina or usual avoidance stat that a tanking weapon has. And even if you could with gems and enchants, what you give up to do so defeats the whole purpose, because you probably had to give something up just to fit that dps weapon in currently.
Another point, Blizz specifically hasn't put in a prevalent tanking weapon enchant on purpose. I don't see it as too far fetched to move to a druid / death knight design, by where you are balanced around using a dps weapon to tank.
And in terms of the continuous streamlining of stats and gear, mp5 and spirit is next. You can't stop homogenization. It WILL continue to happen. All we can hope to do is voice our concerns as it happens and try to give good enough feedback that we help sway the direction it takes.

The voice of energy efficiency.
And one of the very few places

Heads of European Governments have ignored all the evidence on energy efficiency and failed to set binding targets. What was behind the UK's opposition? Not that long ago, I recall visiting the offices of those overseeing UK energy policy, to be greeted with a large poster that read: "Real Men Build Power Stations." How things have changed, you might think. The International Energy Agency now routinely describes energy efficiency as "the first fuel" option. This March the heads of the 28 European Union governments unanimously agreed that increasing investment in energy efficiency should be the "first step" taken to reduce energy imports and increase energy security. The day after he became Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Edward Davey launched the Energy Efficiency Deployment Office, promising that improving energy saving would be his "number one priority."
ACE has submitted a written response toe the Department of Energy and Climate Change's consultation on a new fuel poverty strategy for England. A strategy is widely held to encompass the following elements, elements which we would have hoped to see after four years of deliberation: identifying the nature and scale of the challenge at hand; setting goals to meet that challenge; laying out policies, programmes and actions to achieve those goals; and earmarking resources to execute the policies, programmes and actions. Instead, the consultation contained a series of important but ultimately small picture questions. In our response, we focused on answering big picture questions not posed in it.
ACE Research has completed the project "Reaching Fuel Poor Families", which was conducted in partnership with The Children's Society and funded by Eaga Charitable Trust. The research shows that Children's Centres can play a significant role in engaging fuel poor families, especially if schemes are long-term and work in partnership with other local organisations. The report makes recommendations for how local authorities, government, energy companies and the third sector can support engagement with fuel poor families through Children's Centres.

Radka es un misterio, un maniquí que absorbe la personalidad de los atuendos que modela sin mostrar su propio carácter.
LO QUE SI sabemos de ella es lo siguiente: tiene 22 años y vive en Hungría en un apartamento con vistas preciosas sobre Budapest. Mide 1.70m, pesa 51kg y tiene una ligera silueta de niño que se vuelve ultra-femenina cuando se viste y sobrecogedora cuando se desviste para la cámara.
Radka también posee un lado salvaje, con su cabellera despeinada de cabellos rubios dorados y sus ojos lustrosos como dos estanques de ónice líquido tan profundos que no hay manera de adivinar lo que expresan, un mundo secreto del cual sólo obtenemos un vistazo como si, desde un tren en marcha, el paisaje dejase en nosotros una impresión fugaz pero imborrable.
Radka es como una muñequita, una mujer-niña a la que deseamos proteger y al mismo tiempo maltratar, una auténtica Chica Hegre que tiene su justo lugar en nuestros archivos.

|norm Reino Unido
Radka Teases delightfully I have just found this film and I will revisit it often I think. Radka is really lovely, and I do enjoy watching girls in miniskirts and minidresses. When one sees them about (Oh so rare in the UK - our summers are pretty useless!) one can be excited by imagining what is just out of sight, so when it is sensually revealed, as Radka does here so well, for me, it is a real thrill. We have the short summer dress, the sexy mini, and that charming little black job in which she is shown eventually on her back with legs widely spread, her treasure exposed and offered for us! Oh joy Radka, do it again! I like these teases Petter -sign of a true DOM (with apologoies to Eolake!)

Best fun ever. I took this amp home one night, plugged my Jazzmaster american special in and messed around for 3-4 hours. Great noise for a small amp and great effects. The new presets are awesome. This is a great amp for any guitar and I would recommend it to any guitarists.

Only thing missing is onboard jam tracks storage . Yeah , you could be a all day computerphobe but wouldn't it be nice to have it all ? G-decs had a sd card option for total amp unit freedom . Don't want to buy a new computer to feed this thing . Not my job. My $39 Radio Shack MP3 breathes musical life into my G-dec 15 with whatever I want to play along to 'cause it's all about the music - got gain ? - Nice amp though !
This is one of the best amps I have used, you can get almost any every sound that exists out of this amp. When I first used this amp it sounded very weird and it was difficult to get a good sound out of it, but then I spent about 2.5 hours experimenting with the fender fuse software and reading about the amp and now I can get a lot of different sound out of the amp. There are lots of different effects on the fender fuse software including reverse delay, wah, reverb and much more. I would recommend this amp to anyone.
Stratocaster236 owns this item
This is an amazing practice amp. I have had every Line 6 amp and they're good too but it just does not sound very great. This thing is far better than the others out there.
I was not a big fan of the issues the last version had, but this one is great. (They fixed the issues) I bought the Peavey Vyper series and after reading the manual that was on a disc, I realized I could not use it with active electronics. and it says it nowhere on the box. And the staff that sell these things never say anything at all... (Cause they don't know!)
If you're looking to satisfy the needs of tones and like getting more than one sound, check this little guy out. Pretty sweet for the price.
Mukwah70 owns this item
I am having a reviewing day its seems. Started about an hour ago with my new Blonde American Special tele- that I love - when it dawned on me how much other fender gear I had bought in the last few years, all of it of equally good quality and very affordable.
Modeling amps can get a lot of knocking copy from the purists. Don't listen. You can enjoy both. This is a cracking little amp. One of the best bang for bucks out there and more. With the fuse software you can get some truly amazing tones. It's easy to set up and just great fun. Cheap as chips. Looks good, solid build and believe me, capable of some real 'tonal' surprises. A truly amazing kit. Just get one and mess about- you'll love it. I bought the mini one too.
Johnbryce owns this item
Let me start with explaining the reason for 4 stars instead of five. My main complaint is that Fender did not include a list of the presets that are already on the amp. It would have gotten five stars otherwise. I bought this figuring I could play around with different amp sounds to find what I like before investing in an $800+ professional quality amp. It delivers. If you have a choice between the V.1 and the V.2, get the V.2 since there are more compatible preset options to download(I have yet to play around with that, but see the value). My local music shop still sells the original and does not have have any of the V.2 models. My favorite default presets are the "Touch of Reverb('65 Twin)", "Bassman Drive('59 Bassman)", "Neil Deluxe('57 Deluxe)", and the "Surf Twin Reverb('65 Twin)". I play an Epiphone ES-339, and tend to focus on classic rock style sounds, so obviously I am going to prefer the more vintage sounds, but this amp can crank out just about anything you want to, and for $110(on most sites), it gives you a good introduction to more expensive Fender amps without buying something that doesn't work for you. There are also some good Vox emulations on there, if you prefer British flavor. I am not sure but there may be some emulations along the lines of Orange or Marshall amps, but I don't play hard rock, alternative, or metal, so I really can't comment much about the American style modern sounds and metal type sounds as to how good they are. One thing about this amp worth noting though, is it is a solidly built beast about twice the size of your typical practice amp and heavy to boot. This is an amp you will want to find a place for and leave it. If you need a version you can take on the go, consider buying a Mustang Mini for about $60 in addition. You will not be sorry no matter which Mustang V.2 amp you choose to buy.
Brad O. owns this item
Just bought this amp, and man, it is pretty good. It took me a while to figure out how to record via USB - it can be really difficult to a beginner, and you can't do much about the USB latecy which can be annoying, too. Actually you can buy a new soundcard, or whatever.
I mostly play alternative rock, post grunge - Foo Fighters. With the factory presets, you can't really nail the sound. You need to edit, or download one with FUSE. It also takes some time, and it won't sound perfect with USB recording, but it will sounds pretty good live. I would recommend it, mostly for practice, for a guy who plays guitar in a garage band, and maybe for little gigs, too, but definitely not really for serious recording - however, you can record a nice cover with it.

This little amp may very well be the best 110.00 I ever spent on guitar equip. Perhaps I can't rock a huge stadium or get the most sublime tube tones, but this thing is remarkably versatile and an incredible value.
firstname.lastname@example.com owns this item
Bought this to replace a Line 6 Spider iv 75 Watt which was more power than I need and far too complex for simply playing around in the house. The Mustang by comparison is much leaner and easier to use but don't be fooled. The lower output does not detract from the available tones (which are many) and makes even a cheap guitar sound professional (my playing not included). The Fuse software gives you the choice to add and dial in so many variations that there shouldn't be a tone you can't get near to, if you're seeking the Holy Grail ;>) For a Practice amp, and that's what it is, you could not find better. Easy to use, classic tones, upgradeable, great value and of course with the reliability of the maker, Fender. One of my better buys.
blueray owns this item
Figuring out the features of this amp took a little time, but once I found a few sounds I liked, I just stuck to those. For low volumes AKA practicing, this can't be beat. I would never gig with it, of course, but that's not really what its built for. My only complaint is that there's almost too much to play with inf terms of tones. A little overwhelming.
I have the first version of this amp. It is an excellent practice amp. It can get quite loud. The sounds are unlimited once you learn the Fender Fuse system. The community of users constantly post new settings you can download. Price-wise, it is hard to beat.
Fingerstyle Rules owns this item
I love this amp. It takes some learning to sorta understand how all the variable controls work. The controls are not as self explanatory as you would like.
The built in tuner is excellent and super handy. The free Fender Fuse is also hard to understand but some practice gets the job done.
I bought mine cheaper from Amazon than from a guitar store ($109). This amp is a monster for the price...BUY IT SOON!!!!

My favourite soup at the moment is a spinach and coconut soup - very easy to make, too! Melt a knob of butter in a deep pan, add a chopped onion, a couple of cloves of chopped garlic, and cook for 5 minutes, then add 500g spinach, a pint of chicken stock, salt, and pepper, and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes. Add a can of coconut milk (full fat one is best), bring back to the boil whilst stirring, then remove from the heat and blitz until smooth. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve

Re: Soup's on!!
Basic homemade vegetable soup recipe:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
2 cups mixed chopped vegetables (try cauliflower, zucchini, green beans)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
1 bay leaf
8 cups water and 3 cubes of vegetable bouillon OR 8 cups vegetable broth
1 14 ounce can tomatoes
Heat oil in a large soup or stock pot. Add onion, carrots and celery. Heat, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, until onions are soft. Add the rest of the vegetables and heat for just another minute or two.
Add salt, thyme and oregano, stirring to coat the vegetables well.
Add bay leaf, water or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. If using bouillon cubes, add and stir to make sure they dissolve.
Add tomatoes, stir, and allow soup to simmer until all the vegetables are cooked.
Adjust seasonings to taste.
Remove the bay leaf and serve your homemade vegetable soup with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and some crusty bread or crackers.
I tried it in my home and it's really YUMMMYYYYYYYYYYY..

A chicken soup recipe is also a great way to turn leftover chicken into a second meal. Try one of these easy chicken soup recipes or chicken stew recipes the next time you're craving a classic comfort food. Chicken noodle soup is undeniably comfort food for many people (especially when they're not feeling well) and this version gets a healthful update. Whole-wheat egg noodles add fiber and nutrients and reduced-sodium chicken broth cuts the sodium. By all means use homemade chicken broth if you have it.

Jerusalem Artichoke Soup.
So seasonal so nice. Carrot,onion,artichoke, chicken stock, salt and pepper. That's it, don't peel them the flavour is on the outside. Scrub them if they are muddy. Pass the finished blitzed soup through a sieve.

Since Bye, Jets Have Improved at Flag FootballPosted by on December 6, 2012 – 4:53 pm
Earlier in the season, at Pittsburgh, Miami, New England and against Indianapolis, penalties were a big issue for the Jets.
Lately the yellow flags have become an issue again, but in a good way. As head coach Rex Ryan said on Wednesday, "There are some things that we're really doing a great job at right now. A thing we've emphasized since the break was penalties."
It shows. Since Nov. 1, the Jets are No. 2 in the NFL in fewest penalties, 4.3 infractions marked off per game, behind Atlanta's 4.0, and the Green & White are No. 1 in the league with 27.5 yards per game.
"It's about paying attention to details," said NT Sione Po'uha. "When you're playing an opponent, you don't want to be an opponent to yourself."
"There's a lot of different facets to a game," added Mike DeVito, his next-door neighbor on the DL. "Sometimes you overlook some of them or forget about some of them."
But since the bye week, the turnaround has been dramatic after the Jets, through the first eight weeks of the season, were tied for 21st in the NFL in penalties and 25th in yards.
First Ryan put the teeth back into the flags being thrown by Joe Yacovino and his crew of practice officials, telling them to tighten up all their calls. Then he returned to a practice practice that he and the Jets instituted in 2010.
"Every time there's a penalty at practice, everybody does 10 pushups," said Mike Westhoff, who's coordinated the Jets practice officials since he arrived on Herm Edwards' staff in 2001. "All the players, all the coaches. Everybody except the guy who committed the penalty."
Said LB David Harris: "We've gotten our triceps a lot stronger the last month or so."
Some Jets have always had a knack for playing clean. Harris has gone 29 games since his last penalty, a facemask on BenJarvus Green-Ellis in the 2010 AFC Divisional triumph at New England. DeVito, who arrived in 2007, has never had a major penalty called on him in his career, just four 5-yarders. LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson has gone 38 games, since mid-2010, without a holding call.
And imagine this: Po'uha's played in 108 games, including playoffs, in his Jets career and he's been flagged exactly once for a penalty.
"Knock on wood," said Big Bo. "I remember the encroachment but I don't remember who it was against."
As luck would have it, Po'uha's penalty came against Jacksonville in 2009. Perhaps Jaguars center Brad Meester had something to do with influencing the nose tackle to encroach. If so, it looks as if Sione could get some payback on Sunday at Jacksonville, now that Meester's foot injury seems to be coming around.
"Penalties can hurt you," said LB Bryan Thomas, who's been whistled for a mere five penalties in his 11-year career and has had no majors in his last 60 games. "They can come on the last play of the game and give the other team one more play. They can keep drives going."
"You definitely do not want to take steps backward," Po'uha agreed about the hidden yardage of penalties that the Jets have recently turned back in their favor. "They say it's a game of inches. Don't hurt yourself by setting yourself back yards."
One More Thing on Penalties
Except for the occasional downtrend such as in the first half of this year, the Jets have been the state of the art when it comes to not committing penalties. Since 2001, 12 seasons combined, their 1,026 penalties and 8,346 penalty yards both continue to lead the league.
Thursday Injury Reports
Three Jets players were DNPs today — WR Clyde Gates (concussion), who Rex Ryan said is a week away from returning to action, TE Dustin Keller (ankle), and S LaRon Landry (heel) with his usual Thursday reduced load.
WR Stephen Hill (knee) was limited, as was QB Tim Tebow again (ribs). NT Damon Harrison became the 23rd Jet to be listed this week. He's also limited, with an ankle.
For the Jaguars, their two top offensive threats, RB Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) and WR Cecil Shorts (concussion), again did not practice. A report out of Jacksonville said the Jags are likely to go with their "last back standing," Montell Owens, at tailback vs. the Jets, although RB Greg Jones (thigh) was limited today after being a DNP on Wednesday.
Also not practicing were C Michael Brewster (hand), RB Rashad Jennings (concussion), CB Aaron Ross (calf) and DE George Selvie (concussion). Meester (foot) and CB Derek Cox (hamstring) were both full-go today.

All Brady needed was a chance? So true. A 6 th rounder who the pundits said was way to slow and arkward for the NFL. Bill B. saw something and carried him as his 4th QB. Why ? Beacuse he didn't want any one else to get him. Only by injury did he get a shot and knocked off a darn good QB. McElroy is a winner,who came in and in his FIRST SERIES IN THE NFL led a sustained drive and threw a TD. Like a young rookie in baseball hItting a homerun 1st at bat. The Jets are just full of politics because of T-baum who doesn't know how to do the right thing. As a side note …. I'am the only poster on this site that ever got KARAN mad…. and that is not easy to do….. I feel bad now.

This is from Greenberg's column on this very same site, so I guess it's safe to post it: "Our guess is that a quarterback consistently doing rookie things deep into year four already has run out of time., not because of one abject clunker against Arizona but because it demonstrated once more that Sanchez lacks the innate feel required of a quarterback who can be relied upon. He doesn't read defenses well, holds the ball too long, and has little instinct for danger. Sanchez can, as Ryan said Wednesday, make all the throws, but too often he doesn't know where to throw them, something no team with Super Bowl aspirations lives with into a fifth season." AMEN!

I hope that someone mentioned the effect of what penalties can do to a teams chance of winning to members of the Jets secondary, particularly Cromartie, Landry and Wilson, oh, and lets not forget Smith either. There have been games where this dynamic foursome had more penalty yards then Sanchez had passing yards. OK, sarcasm maybe, but it wouldn't surprise me to hear it is actually a fact.

Jet Fan 64, and SCJOE- As my handle indicates I am a fan who lives in Alaska… I flew down to watch the JETS @ Seattle as a gift from my wife, front row 50 yard line right behind the Jets bench… after watching the inept Sanchez saunter off the field after the goal line interception I snapped and yelled some unpleasent things to Rex about his quarterback… A fellow Jet fan sporting a Sanchez jersey turned and told me to not turn on my team, I then replied that anyone wearing a Sanchez Jersey is not a true fan of the Jets, because if they were they would of watched this pathetic excuse of an offense hold us back for four years, and it all starts with #6. Who are the people that say they are Jet's fans yet support Sanchez… it's would…

Speaking for myself, I don't think these guys have any right to start dropping an attitude when they're doing as terrible a job as Sparano is: "We haven't done a good job of it," Sparano said. "I'm assuming that's the answer you're looking for. I'm giving it to you so you can write your article. I just gave it to you." Yeah, now try giving us an O that looks like it belongs in the NFL, Tony. For the amount of money you get paid to coach a kids' game, I'm not up for hearing your bitterness about how tough the press and the fans are on you in the face of your pathetic track record. Let's see how much bitterness you're allowed someday when you're out of pro sports and have to actually get, you know, like, a real job…

Nice to see that they have got better with the flags. Brick's and Pouha's #'s are excellent.
I had posted this after awhile back i just don't understand how the top three RB's have only 23 catches this year. Thats is unacceptable for a team that has a QB that is prone to make mistakes. 011 LT-42, Greene-30, McKnight 13- 010 LT-52, Greene 16, T-Rich 5 this year Greene 13- Powell 9 and McKnight 1 thats right 1 catch for the best open field playmaker they have. This is a real red flag in my books. I would love to hear why?
By Bennett on Dec 7, 2012 | Reply
Do you think Tebow wishes he went to Jacksonville ? The Jets said to him " Yeah were going to put you in and out of the game so niether you or Sanchez can develop any rythem. Than we want you to pack on 20ilbs so we can use you on special teams and you can fracture your ribs. Once you put on 20lbs you'll be so muscle bound and unbalanced you won't be able to throw with any accuracy at all.. Then our teamates are going to insult you in the media and your coach will shun you as #2. By the end of the season no team will want you and your days as a legit QB will be over, ypu may be able to land a #3. "So what do you think ? WOW !!! WHERE DO I SIGN ?
By SCfromNY on Dec 7, 2012 | Reply
Glad for the reduction in flags. I would be curious about the percentage of flags that resulted in giving the opposition a first down instead of 4th. Good to hear that Sporano feels we are "moving" in the right direction. Perhaps he will have it figured out by the 16th game. last week must have been devestating to him: No field goals. Being a Jet fan has always been difficult. But this years imcompetence from the scouts to the GM hits a new low. We need a new start starting with Tanny, Rex, and Sporano. There is no way we can tinker to become a winning team. Besides the fact we have too many holes I am sure very few FAs will want to come here especially since we can no longer overpay them.

Its a business, I understand that. You can't invest a number 1 pick, pay him over 50 million and then abandon him without losing face and your job. With that said, the decisons post Sanchez are more worrying. Keeping Mcknight over Woodhead, thinking Slauson, Duccasse and Hunter could replace Faneca, Kendall and Woody. Thinking that Cotchery and braylon Edwards are expendable. Over paying Holmes a selfish player for performances predicated on othe players being more dominant around him. Thinking that Green was a total package at running back, Wilson was worthy of a high draft pick…those are the clear reasons for the failure of this team to progress

$8,000,000 reasons why Sanchez will be at least the starting QB at the start of next season. Really the only positive thing I have to say is unless he makes a total turn around 2013 will be his last year on the Jets. Unless all 5 of these things happen there is no way his turn around will happen 1 Holmes comes back healthy 2 Kerley develops from a #3 to a #2 3 Hill learns how to catch & becomes a NFL #3 4 We resign Keller & 5 We sign a difference making RB someone who is clear upgrade over Shonne Greene. But honestly these are the Jets we are talking about so what are the chances of all 5 of these things happening?

WOW – I feel better about this team already (insert sarcastic smile here:) This statistic doesn't seem to pass the eyeball test. Jets may in fact have the lowest penalty yardage but, I've lost count of the TD's wiped out from false starts, holding or O pass interference. Seems like every game our D makes a crucial 3rd down stop – only to be nullified by penalty, then a score wipes out any momentum our defense had. Watch closely… The very next game after a nice Radar Blog singing the praises of STS this season – the WHEELS fell off ! They gave up KO return TD's, Fumbles, Folk started missing routine FG's, punt's blocked etc. Randy if Jet penalties sky-rocket starting Sunday… IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT lol

And the hits just keep on coming "Dustin Keller (ankle) missed another practice Friday and is listed as doubtful for Week 14 against the Jaguars.
Jeff Cumberland will stand in as the Jets' starting tight end, further depleting perhaps the league's weakest skill-position player corps. Keller didn't practice at all this week. Rex Ryan says he doesn't have a high ankle sprain. "

Have you forgotten that our mistake-prone QB panics at the first sign of pressure, can't step up or out of the pocket with any consistent skill, can't see open receivers anywhere, and, as Arte always says, HAS NO PERIPHERAL VISION? Jeez, what games are you watching?

And Byrdman, your sarcasm is exquisite. I really feel sorry for Randy and the guys, who deserve a much better team to write about than one that we're told is "doing a lot of good things" despite our curious inability to put points on the board. Only in Jet land does such bizarre thinking hold sway. Kimberly Jones, who writes on this team with more courage than anybody in the media, has another great piece on the NFL site today about the unreal world the Jets live in, in which Mark is always somehow one game away from elite status…

GaryC – Wilson is off the charts physically, and can accurately fire the ball downfield while on a flat-out sprint, running to his right or left. Watched every game this kid played at Wisconsin, his athletic ability jumps off the screen – He's a 5'11" John Elway. If Wilson was 4 inches taller he's the #3 pick last year. The ONLY question any scout had was in regard to his height – it wouldn't surprise me to hear he could throw farther than Andrew Luck or RG3
By SCfromNY on Dec 7, 2012 | Reply
Ira, I'm surprised about your comment that McKnight was only thrown 1 open field pass. I will preface this with I know he is injured a lot. McKnight is probably the quickest, elusive RB we have. Perfect for screen passes. OOPs, Sporano doesn't call them and Sanchez can't throw them. He can actually get to the edge given a chance but Rex sticks stubbornly with his "bell cow" Greene. Greene is not a bad back. look at the Steelers who have a bunch of RBs. Greene would be a good complement RB in a mix not a #1. Rex seems reluckant to ever change players and for that reason his success as an NFL coach will always be limited. Ira you may be missing another point. Rex shuns "Mc"Knight and "Mc"Elroy. maybe he doesn't like "Mc"s.
By GaryC on Dec 7, 2012 | Reply
byrdman,it helped that he had my guy Montae Ball in the backfield with him,but please don't make comparisions to Elway with Wilson,He also transferred from NC State before he got to Wisconsin.For some reason I believe if he was Elway the NC state boosters wouldn't of let him go.

No, SCfromNY, it has to do with Rex's view of O being stuck in the mid-1960s at best. He's still probably trying to figure out why Joe Kapp and the Vikes got crushed by the smarter, faster, modern-football-playing Chiefs in Super Bowl IV.

By Byrdman on Dec 8, 2012 | Reply
Gary – I'm making the comparison based upon what I see on the field, how Wilson played in Wisconsin and at the NFL level. Not hypothetical scenarios, Vick makes more bad decisions than Sanchez does. DID you watch the Seahawk/Bear game last week? Bears defense is scary good, better than anything we've had in NY, Wilson marched the "Hawks" 97 yards to send the game into OT, then drove down and threw the game winner to Rice. You asked what does the 5'11" Wilson have that McElroy doesn't – I answered, G-Mac is average in all physical tests (actually kind of slow even for a QB) he makes Wilson look like Usain Bolt :D Only time will tell who wins more NFL games but Wilson is certainly off to an AMAZING rookie season.

TOM64, Hey, dont get me wrong, I would love for Woody to sell the team to Curtis Martin and for the Jets to move back to N.Y. I'm with you 100%. I just dont see it happaning in our life time. Woodie appears to see himself as a latter day George Steinbrenner in terms of publicity seeking. I've mentioned this before but I will never forget Woodie & Tanney hamming it up on Hard-Knocks. I think Woodie sees the team as a way to get noticed by appearing on T.V.
