Rajat and his design studio for WordPress did a fantastic job creating some customer WordPress themes for me. What impressed me most was how consistent he was with communication. At one stage I received an email every day upgrading me on the status of my job, which was delivered very quickly. I've used the service now for several templates and have nothing but good things to stay about it.

Thoughts on Houston's newest brand: The City With No Limits
Recently the Greater Houston Partnership rolled out its newest marketing campaign for Houston, "The City With No Limits", with broad coverage in the Chronicle, CultureMap, and HBJ.

Cox Innovation Fund raises $52M, Firethorn's Tripp Rackley involved
Send this to a friend
- Urvaksh Karkaria
- Staff Writer- Atlanta Business Chronicle
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
The Cox Innovation Fund raised $52.3 million, according to a Securities & Exchange Commission filing.
Tripp Rackley, an Atlanta-based serial entrepreneur and Technology Hall of Fame of Georgia inductee, was listed as a director, in the SEC filing.
Rackley, who did not return calls, was listed as the sole member of Kenzie Lane Innovation LLC, the general partner of the issuer.
Rackley has a track record of launching new ventures and is likely to do so with the new fund.
Rackley has founded several Atlanta-based technology companies over the last 16 years. Rackley's ventures have created a combined $1 billion in shareholder value and more than 500 jobs in Georgia.
Most recently, Rackley founded and led Firethorn, a mobile commerce technology firm. Firethorn was acquired by Qualcomm Inc. in 2007 for $210 million in cash.
Rackley was inducted into the Technology Hall of Fame of Georgia in 2011 — the youngest inductee.
In 2010, Rackley joined the board of media giant Cox Enterprises Inc.'s. At the time Cox said Cox said it planned to create a new advisory development committee for Rackley to chair. It will focus on planning for growth opportunities.
"Cox Enterprises has a long history of growing innovative businesses and creating new industries, and this partnership with Tripp marks an exciting way to revolutionize innovation," said Jim Kennedy, chairman of Cox Enterprises, in a statement Wednesday. "For several years we've observed Tripp's success as an entrepreneur and recruited him to our board of directors because of that sterling track record. We're thrilled to partner with him on this exciting new venture so that together we can build and grow the next generation of successful, high-value technology companies."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – More Tennessee counties are eligible for assistance for losses due to the severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds and associated flooding from April 25 to April 28, 2011. The Federal Emergency Management Agency approved five more counties for Individual Assistance and 25 more counties for Public Assistance.
The addition of Carroll, Crockett, Hardin, Henry and Madison counties brings to 15 the total number of counties designated for Individual Assistance under the May 1 declaration. Counties previously designated are Bledsoe, Bradley, Cocke, Greene, Hamilton, Johnson, McMinn, Monroe, Rhea and Washington.
FEMA Individual Assistance for homeowners and renters may include grants to help pay for temporary housing, home repairs and other serious disaster-related expenses not met by insurance or other assistance programs. Low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration are available to eligible survivors to cover residential and business losses not fully compensated by insurance.
The first step for individuals and businesses in the designated counties toward obtaining recovery assistance is to register with FEMA:
- By phone, call 800-621-FEMA (3362) from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time. Assistance is available in many languages. Those who are deaf, hard of hearing or who have a speech disability may use TTY 800-462-7585.
- By computer, go online to www.DisasterAssistance.gov.
- By smartphone or tablet, use m.fema.gov.
To access federal help, survivors must register directly with FEMA. Registering with any other program or organization does not meet the requirement to register with FEMA.
Public Assistance
Government entities and certain private non-profits in Benton, Bledsoe, Bradley, Carroll, Chester, Cocke, Crockett, Fayette, Gibson, Greene, Hamilton, Hardeman, Hardin, Henderson, Henry, Johnson, Lake, Madison, McMinn, McNairy, Monroe, Rhea, Shelby, Washington and Weakley are now eligible to receive federal reimbursement for all categories of FEMA's Public Assistance program. Previously, Bradley, Greene, Hamilton and Washington Counties were declared eligible for just categories A (debris removal) and B (emergency protective measures).
The designation for public assistance means eligible entities in the declared counties can apply for reimbursement of certain expenses related to the disaster response and recovery. The declaration makes FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, which provides grants to implement long-term hazard mitigation measures after a disaster, available statewide.
Disaster recovery assistance is available without regard to race, color, religion, nationality, sex, age, disability, English proficiency or economic status. If you or someone you know has been discriminated against, call FEMA toll-free at 800-621-FEMA (3362). For TTY call 800-462-7585.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Credit: Image Source/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- A study conducted by researchers in San Diego found a link between hookah smoking an a toxin that has been known to cause cancer.
According to the study, published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, urine samples taken from a group of hookah smokers and non-smokers were tested to determine the amount of benzene in their body. Benzene, a chemical that has been linked to certain cancers, including leukemia, is often found in higher amounts in the bodies of those who smoke cigarettes.
Researchers said that the participants in their study who had smoked hooked had benzene byproducts in their systems at nearly 30 times the amount as in non-smokers. All participants were tested following a lounge event.
It was not clear whether a link exists between hookah use and an increased risk of leukemia.

A suffocating echo chamberSeptember 27,2013When Sen. Ted Cruz of La Mancha jumped on his trusty steed and charged the windmills, he explained: Everyone in America knows Obamacare is destroying the economy. He added that accepting the Affordable Care Act would be like appeasing the Nazis.
Cruz is a smart man, and maybe this is just disingenuous demagoguery. But theres a scarier possibility: After spending too much time in the Republican echo chamber, he may believe what he says.
In the 1990s, as conservative talk radio spread across America, liberals felt victimized. But, in retrospect, the rise of talk radio, Fox News Channel and right-wing websites may have done greatest harm to conservatives themselves.
The right-wing echo chamber breeds extremism, intimidates Republican moderates and misleads people into thinking that their worldview is broadly shared.
Thats the information bubble that tugs the entire Republican Party to the right and that transforms people like Cruz into crusading Don Quixotes. And thats why Republicans may lead us over a financial cliff, even though polling suggests that voters would blame them.
In one extreme case, the right-wing media bubble may even have been lethal for its inhabitants. That was the 2009-10 swine flu epidemic, which eventually killed up to 18,000 Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
When the flu first emerged, Republicans and Democrats responded with the same level of concern. That makes sense. Why should political differences affect our judgments about health?
But then conservative commentators began to denounce the Obama administrations call for people to get vaccinated. Glenn Beck said he would do the exact opposite of what the federal government recommended. Rush Limbaugh said: If you have some idiot government official demanding, telling me I must take this vaccine, Ill never take it.
Some on the left also voiced suspicion of the vaccine, but it was more common on right-wing shows to hear that flu vaccinations were a nefarious Obama plot.
The upshot was that Democrats were 50 percent more likely to say that they would get the life-saving vaccinations, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law. Matthew A. Baum, the Harvard scholar who wrote the journal article, told me that he couldnt calculate how many of the total flu deaths were attributable to conservatives putting too much faith in their pundits.
Something similar may have happened when conservatives like Michele Bachmann denounced the HPV vaccine, which protects against cervical cancer (Bachmann suggested that the vaccine could be very dangerous). Only 35 percent of girls have received the full course of HPV vaccinations, with particularly low rates in more conservative states like Arkansas, Mississippi, Utah and Kansas. That cant be good for women in those states.
Of course, the left has long had its own version of this problem as well. After Richard Nixons 1972 landslide re-election, Pauline Kael of The New Yorker famously said she was mystified because she knew only one person who had voted for Nixon. MSNBC and The Huffington Post have become cocoons for liberals, just as Fox News is for conservatives.
Both Fox News and MSNBC rely more on punditry than on reporting from the field, and I remember once early in the Iraq war when I was with U.S. troops watching on Fox News Channel as blowhards in the studio claimed that Iraqis were welcoming us with flowers. We watched, stunned, wondering what war the network was covering.
Research suggests that the echo chamber effect is disproportionately a problem on the right, leading inhabitants to perceive a warped reality. Many Republicans were shocked that Mitt Romney was defeated last fall because they had been assured that he would win. And a Pew survey last year found that the proportion of conservative Republicans who believe that President Barack Obama is a Muslim has doubled since 2008 to 34 percent.
Then there was the time that Beck aired the theory that Obama is the Antichrist (he later said he had been joking).
The right-wing bubble makes it harder to elect Republican presidents by enforcing an ideological purity in primaries that weakens candidates in general elections. Too much time in the bubble also leaves some Republican politicians saying things that just sound nutty to independents. For example, some Republican members of the House are taking seriously the conspiracy notion that the government is buying up bullets so that private gunowners wont be able to defend themselves.
Yet when Don Cruz of La Mancha and other extremists threaten a cataclysm that could damage the national economy, we have self-inflicted not just harm, but also a threat to the national well-being.
I often cover dysfunctional, strife-ridden countries, from Congo to Syria, Sudan to Afghanistan. This fall, alas, it looks as if I wont have to travel so far.

Bone Carving Classes
Looking for something different to do in Galway?
Bone Carving Studio and Gallery
in Galway offers the only bone carving classes in Ireland. At a one-day class youll create your own bone carving from start to finish.
What's involved
At a one-day bone carving class you will design and make your own piece out of cow bone (sourced from local butchers, already cleaned and dried ready for you to carve!).
Most people make a pendant strung on waxed cotton cord (If you'd like it on silver it's 10 extra for the chain).
Alternatively you can turn your piece into a brooch, keyring or stand-alone sculpture. If you'd like to make something else ask me when you're booking and I'll see what we can do!
You'll do all the carving yourself using a variety of power and hand tools...and of course I'll help you along the way.
Whether you're a visitor or a native, a bone carving class is the perfect activity for a rainy Galway day....
...it's also a unique gift, whether you give a gift voucher for a class or you make something special for someone special!
Book a Class
Classes are available Mon-Sat at 10a.m.
(the length of the class will depend on the piece you decide to make, but will usually finish mid-afternoon)

Cuthbert pens new Blues deal?
ESPN Staff
December 16, 2012
Alex Cuthbert has reportedly signed a new deal with the Blues © PA Photos
Wales flyer Alex Cuthbert has agreed a new three-year deal with the Cardiff Blues, according to reports.
Cuthbert came close to joining Racing Metro last season, only to sign a new one-year contract with the Blues, and was reportedly on the Parisian giant's radar again this term. But despite seeing the likes of Dan Lydiate and Jamie Roberts opting to leave the Welsh regional set-up for a move elsewhere, Cuthbert has decided to stay in Cardiff, according to the Rugby Paper.
The 22-year-old has scored 20 tries in 26 games for the Blues and played a key role in Wales' 2012 Six Nations Grand Slam. And the newspaper claims that he has penned a new deal in excess of his current £140,000-a-year salary.
"I'm grateful to Cardiff Blues for giving me my chance and feel I owe them," Cuthbert said. "I'm still developing and have so much to learn.
"Being in the Wales environment helps a lot and working with the national coaches as well is only going to further my development."

Using live porn sites can usually be a very positive and amazing experience for you if you have never used one before, but one major downside to using these sites is that it things can get quite pricy very quickly. You may not realize how much money you're spending until your bill comes in, but tokens can start adding up very quickly if you do not use them wisely. You may be tempted to just buy the tokens every time you decide to watch a show, but by doing this you may not realize exactly how much money you have been spending. This is one of the best and easiest ways for live porn sites to make their money from you, especially since you probably do not realize how much money you are spending on the site. Adult live porn reviews probably never mentioned how much money they wound up spending on the site, but this is one of the biggest things that can affect your experience with life porn sites and it is definitely something you should be keeping an eye out for. When you decide to read reviews of these sites, you should always look into how much the tokens cost and how many they said that they might have used.
If you are on a budget or if you are just concerned about how much money you wind up spending on live porn sites, then you probably want to make sure you set aside a budget for life porn sites. However, besides just setting up a budget, there are plenty of ways you can go about saving you money when you use live porn sites. It all comes down to using your tokens wisely and stretching your buck by following certain tips.
All about Buying Tokens: How to Do It and How Many to Buy
If you have never used a live porn site before, you may find a token or credit economy to be a little bit confusing. Essentially, you are buying on-site currency to use to tip the models that you decide to watch. This is important because the models need to be compensated in some way, because otherwise they would be working for free, which means you probably wouldn't be getting a very good show.
The site will usually offer an on-site currency with which you can tip the models that you decide to watch. They should offer relatively simple ways to do this. Either you can give a certain dollar amount and get a certain token amount in return, or you can buy packages of tokens in order to use on the models of your choice. The site should be fairly simple on how to do this, since they are depending on your purchase to help keep the site going. If you are one of those generous tippers online then you can go ahead and start tipping whenever you see naked women online. However, you should visit http://streamingjunky.com/live-site-reviews/ to learn more about top internet live porn sites and the correct way of tipping cam models.
This does not tell you how many tokens you should buy however. It really depends on the site and how much money you are comfortable spending, but you should only by as many tokens as you can feasibly see yourself using. Remember to always by less than you think you might need, because you can always buy more at a later time, but you cannot get your money back or return tokens.
Using Your Tokens Wisely by Sending Small Tips
One of the best ways to save money when using tokens on a live porn site is by making sure that you only give her small tips. Instead of buying $10 worth of tokens in blowing it on one girl, you may want to consider giving her one dollar or two dollars tips over the course of her show. While these tips may seem like they are too small to do anything, the truth is that she will likely be willing to perform for any amount of money. You just need to be able to offer her some sort of incentives, and she will probably at least do something each time you tip her.
You may want to consider browsing live porn site reviews in order to see which ones offer the smallest increments of tokens. This way you can buy a small amount of tokens, and use small amounts on each model that you watch. This is a good way to stretch your dollar and get the maximum benefit out of each dollar that you spend on the site.
Speeding Her Show along with a Good Tip
Another way to spend your tokens wisely and stretch your dollar is the only tip the model when you want to speed her show along. She may be stalling because she is waiting for tips, or she may have merely stopped performing for the time being. Whatever the reason for not doing much is, you should always wait until she seems like she isn't doing much of anything. This will whip her into action and get the show moving again. You should never bothered tipping a girl if she is in the middle of doing something. She may not even notice that you tipped her or she may be distracted and stop what she was doing.
Either way, it is best to wait to tip the model until her show seems to be screeching to a halt. This is the best time to tip her because she will be focused on getting it set and she will be more likely to listen to what requests you have to accompany the tip.
Only Tipping When Nobody Else Is
Another bit of advice we have for you when it comes to stretching your dollar on live porn sites is the fact that you should never tip her until nobody else is tipping. If you have read any reviews on live porn sites before, you may have read stories about how everyone started tipping the model at the same time. While this is great for the model, is not so great for the viewers. The reason behind this is that she is not going to listen to individual request for certain acts and she may not be as grateful to people.
The best way to make sure that you get the most out of each tip that you spend on her is to wait until nobody else's tipping her. If you watch a very popular show, this may be a little bit difficult to work out, but it is definitely worth trying to wait for a lull in the tipping. This means that she will be more focused on the fact that you tipped her and she will be more likely to call you out in ask you what you want her to do. If you want to interact with the model at all, this is the best way to go about things in order to ensure that you get what you want. It may seem a little annoying to have to wait until nobody else's tipping her but it is definitely going to be worth it because she will focus more on you than on anyone else when you tip her. By doing this, you are more likely to get what you want out of her, which means you will have to tip her less and spend less money on the site.

The New Orleans Zephyrs opened spring training play on Thursday, falling to the Memphis Redbirds 6-5 at the Roger Dean Stadium complex in Jupiter, Fla.
John Baker, the Florida Marlins' regular catcher who has been slowed most of the spring by an injury, was used as the Zephyrs' designated hitter and homered in his first at-bat, capping a three-run first inning for the Z's.
Baker was also hit by a pitch, struck out, and singled.
Brandon Tripp, an outfielder who spent last season with Class A Jupiter, went 3-for-4 with two RBI. Third baseman Lee Mitchell chipped in two hits and scored a run.
Chris Schroder started for the Zephyrs, and allowed one run and four hits in two innings. Jarrett Santos yielded two unearned runs in two innings, while Brad Stone gave up three hits and walked two but escaped unscathed in 1 2/3 innings.
Chris Mobley struggled while trying to protect a 5-4 lead in the seventh, walking three, allowing two hits and throwing a wild pitch as Memphis tied the game.
The Redbirds plated the eventual winning run the following inning against Adalberto Mendez, after Donovan Solano led off with a single and scored on a triple by Amary Cazana.
The Z's continue their spring schedule Friday when they travel to Port St. Lucie to face the Buffalo Bisons, Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets.

I worked at Betfair full-time (more than an year)
Magnificent offices, a good, technology oriented company culture, dynamic, friendly, fun, not in the least boring. Good equilibrium work / life, culturally diverse, found a few new best friends there.
Upper management with no experience or flair to run an IT department. Junior staff thrown willy-nilly at jobs they're unable to perform at high standards, and the seniors are mostly there to clean the mess. Very cost-conscious, no pay hikes, tendency to outsource a lot; cliquey in some teams.
Take more care of your senior staff, or they will eventually leave - and you need them.

I have to say that in Betfair the work environment is original, there are many smart people and most of the time the atmosfere is positive and professional.Cons
The HR organisation is ineffective, redundant, antiquate and that reflects in staff being disillusioned about how the company operates internally. The company focuses more on cost cutting than growing its staff professionally, no career plans, low salaries means the best will leave the company.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Get a real shake up into the HR, including compensation, talent management and career planning inside the company.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO

VIDEO REPORT: Inside Istanbul's Taksim Square Protesters Remain Despite Police Attacks
In this video report filed from inside Taksim Square, independent journalist Brandon Jourdan brings us the voices of union members and others who have continued to join in the protest that began nine days ago and has continued despite police violence that has left thousands injured. Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan is set to return to the country today after being silent so far about the biggest anti-government rallies in decades.
See more from Democracy Now! A Turkish Spring? Over 1,000 Injured as Anti-Government Protests Spread Outside of Istanbul
ÖMER MADRA: I'm Ömer Madra. I'm the editor-in-chief of Open Radio, Açik Radyo, Istanbul. And this is, I think, the ninth day of the, so to say, Gezi, Taksim-Gezi resistence. I was on the streets protesting in—starting in 1965, and I've never returned home, so to say. So, but this is the first time that I'm seeing all these different kinds of people, from all walks of life. People from all walks of life, all kinds of ideologies, are working together.
ELMAS DENİZ: My name is Elmas Deniz, and I'm living here in Istanbul. I'm an artist. And as an artist, it's really awful. Like, I'm a very hopeful person now. I mean, a week before, I was thinking that maybe I should move. It's really hopeless in this country, and there's no way to live freely. And now I have more hope. I mean, it's more or less like a community. And while you are coming here, you're bringing some stuff that can be useful. And a lot of places, that is for free. And all these different political groups has their own places. And previously they'd been fighting among each other, and now, suddenly, they become all together, because they really understand that this is what they want. And what's happening at the moment in the park is people are sharing. And, yeah, this is what they're doing.
HÜSEYİN KARABEY: My name is Hüseyin Karabey. I am an independent filmmaker. Actually, this is my neighborhood, so this park is like my second office. You know, I come every day from green tea. But nowadays I come for another reason: just to be together with the protesters. They don't really care about the people or habitat, you know? They don't ask the people. And, unfortunately, one of—this park has the same kind of fate. They didn't ask the owners of the park, the people of the Taksim [inaudible]. They decided to do something else. And they decided to cut the trees and build some stupid building. And it, I think, was the last moment. You know, everyone has some kind of a problem with the government decision in the last five years, so this park became a symbol for all kind of protest. People said, "Enough. OK, if opposition cannot represent me, I will represent myself."
HASAN HÜSEYİN ŞEHRİBAN KARABULUT: [translated] My name is Hasan Hüseyin Şehriban Karabulut, and I am a feminist. I am Alawite. I am Kurdish, and I am gay. As LGBTT, we are here since the beginning, because we do not want the trees to be cut, because with the trees and the shadow of this trees, Gezi Park is a symbol for us. As LGBTT, we are one of the marginalized groups, and we want to show our presence. There are so many different groups. There are atheists, Kemalists, nationalists, leftists and right-wing people. With these groups, we are all together. We are still not having any trouble, and it is our ninth day.
ÖMER MADRA: The trade unions are joining in and doing a two-day, I believe, strike.
SEVGI İNCE: [translated] The strike today, June 5th, was actually decided upon beforehand. However, since last week, these protests started here in Gezi Park and other public places where people are protesting the policies of the AKP. We changed the strike dates to June 4th and 5th. Today we are here for this reason.
ÖMER MADRA: Today we have the third person who was killed and the more than 2,000 people who got injured, wounded and so on. But the number of attendees, the number of people who are taking part in this huge thing doesn't get less at all. Nobody is afraid anymore, not from the police. I have seen this in the eyes. The fear is over, and it will never—it will never return.
