Obama: 'Loose talk' plays into Iran hands
WASHINGTON In a display of unity between allies who often disagree, President Barack Obama assured Israel's visiting leader Monday that the United States "will always have Israel's back," and said the U.S. and Israel agree that diplomacy is the best way to resolve the crisis over potential Iranian nuclear weapons.
"Both the prime minister and I prefer to solve this diplomatically," Obama said as he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began several hours of White House consultations. The U.S. will consider all options in confronting what it sees as the unacceptable outcome of an Iranian bomb, Obama said.
"Israel and America stand together," Netanyahu said. He added that Israel is a sovereign nation with the right to defend itself, a pointed reference to the main question hanging over Monday's high-stakes meeting: Whether to try to stop an Iranian bomb by with a military attack in the next several months.
Israel must remain "the master of its fate," Netanyahu said.
Obama will try to persuade Netanyahu to slow quickening pressure among many in his hawkish government to attack Iran's disputed nuclear development sites. Obama is trying to avert an Israeli strike that could come this spring, and which the United States sees as dangerously premature.
The president is expected to tell Netanyahu in private at the White House that although the U.S. is committed to Israel's security it does not want to be dragged into another war. Obama is unlikely to spell out U.S. "red lines" that would trigger a military response, despite Israeli pressure to do so.
Obama previewed the Oval Office meeting with a speech Sunday to American supporters of Israel, a key constituency in this election year.
Obama said he doesn't want war but insists he would attack Iran if that was the only option left to stop that nation from getting a nuclear weapon.
"Loose talk of war" only plays into Iran's hands, Obama said.
U.S. officials believe that while Tehran has the capability to build a nuclear weapon, it has not yet decided to do so. They want to give sanctions time to pressure Iran to give up any military nuclear ambitions. Israel says the threat is too great to wait and many officials there are advocating a pre-emptive strike.
Obama did not directly call on Israel to stand down, and made a point of saying Israel should always have the right to defend itself as it sees fit.
That was the part of Obama's speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee that Netanyahu said he liked best. Speaking to reporters in Canada ahead of his arrival in the U.S., Netanyahu made no reference to the sanctions and diplomacy Obama emphasized.
Obama is unlikely to persuade Netanyahu that economic sanctions and diplomacy are enough to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and he is unlikely to win any new concessions from Netanyahu on peace talks, the issue that drew bad blood between the two men in previous meetings and led the Israeli leader to publicly scold Obama last year.

Neglecting the quality of data in CRM systems is a costly mistake
Via Jean-Michel Franco
Bad customer service doesn't just leave customers with a negative impression of your brand, it can severely impact your bottom line. In fact, 55% of customers surveyed recently have abandoned an intended purchase or business transaction following a poor experience. Companies' failure to provide seamless channel-to-channel interactions was a source of frustration for 58% of consumers, and frustrations can translate into lost revenue. Today's digital consumers aren't shy about making their preferences known. Demand for superior service is prompting many businesses to realize the importance of upgrading and modernizing the contact center experience by investing in new technology designed to improve interactions without requiring huge up-front investments, such as cloud-based contact center solutions.

By Air
Chengdu has one airport, the Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), in the southwest of the city. Located about 16 kilometers (10 miles) from the city center, it is the largest aviation hub in central and western China, and aims to form the national aviation hub in mainland China. It has flights to more than 70 domestic cities and over 20 international cities. Frequent one-hour flights are available to Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province. Flights to Xining, capital of Qinghai Province, take about one and a half hours, with two-hour flights available to Lhasa, capital of Tibet. It is convenient to visit the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Spot by air from Chengdu, a 40-minute flight from CTU to Jiuhuang (Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong) Airport with one-way fare of about CNY 700. Visitors are advised to book flights early for this popular trip. Discounts may be available through hotels or travel agencies.
Chengdu Flights (brief introduction & flight search)
By Train
Chengdu Train Schedule
As the largest railway hub in southwest China, Chengdu has convenient railway transportation. At present, it has two railway stations for passenger transport: Chengdu Railway Station, namely North Railway station and East Railway Station. Another two passenger railway stations, south and west railway stations are now under construction. When completed, the "two principals (north and east railway stations), two assistants (south and west railway stations)" setup of Chengdu rail transport will be formed and better service passengers.
Where to purchase advance tickets:
Chengdu Through-transit Industry Co., Ltd: No. 91, second section, north of Second Ring Road
Chengdu Railway Station Transportation Office: No. 6, first section of Renmin North Road
Sichuan University: No. 24, first section, south of First Ring Road
Provincial Government Collective Economy Office: No. 31, third section of Renmin South Road
By Long-distance Bus
Chengdu has several main coach stations including Chengdu Bus Station (Wugui Bridge Bus Station), New South Gate Bus Station, Ximen (West Gate) Bus Station, Dongmen (East Gate) Bus Station, Chadianzi Bus Station, Beimen (North Gate) Bus Station, and Gaosuntang Bus Station.
Wugui Bridge Bus Station is near Tazishan Park, east part of the city. It provides tansport service mainly to cities along the Chengdu-Chongqing expressway and Neijiang-Yibin expressway such as Chongqing, Yibin City, Zigong County, Wanxian County, and Nanning City. For time-saving expressway service on high quality vehicles, the Wugui Bridge Bus Station is recommended.
New South Gate Bus Station, No. 57, Linjiang Road, provides service to renowned scenic spots, including Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, Mt. Leshan, and Mt. Emeishan via buses 6, 28, 49, 55 and 301.
Chadianzi Bus Station is seated in the Second Ring Road. Buses here run mainly to the famous scenic spots and Tibetan areas in the west and north of Sichuan, including Wolong Panda Reserve, Danba County, Mt.Siguniangshan, Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, and Mt. Qingcheng.
North Gate Bus Station is situated in the first Ring Road. The buses here serve primarily south Sichuan Province, such as Zigong County and Yibin City.
Located in the third section, north of the Second Ring Road, Gaosuntang Bus Station is easily missed. It is the station that provides buses for Lhasa, Tibet. It takes three days and two nights to run the whole distance at the price of about CNY 616. In addition, buses to Lanzhou, Xining, Shigatse and Urumqi are available here.


text: Glock confirms he will stay with Marussia in 2013 9 August, 2012 Aug.9 (GMM) Marussia driver Timo Glock has counted himself out of this year's driver 'silly season' and confirmed he will stay with the back of the grid team next year. Theoretically, there are race seats up for grabs at teams including grandees Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes next year. But Timo Glock, whose career has floundered since Toyota pulled out of the sport three years ago, suggested to German website motorsport-total.com that he remains committed to Marussia. When asked if he is watching the 2013 driver market very carefully, the 30-year-old answered in the negative, because "I know how my future looks". Asked specifically if that means he is already under contract to his current team for a fourth consecutive season in 2013, Glock answered: "Yes, correct." As for whether he would answer his phone if the boss of another team tried to call him, his retort was: "No matter who it is, I always politely answer the phone!" The German might however be forgiven for regretting his decision to turn down an offer from Renault at the end of 2009. Although the Enstone based squad – now named Lotus – is fielding one of the very best cars in 2012, the team's future was very uncertain three years ago. So Glock instead signed with Virgin, now called Marussia. "No. In the same situation, I would do the same now," he insisted when asked about his Renault snub. But has he ever wondered how his career might have panned out differently, had he taken a punt and signed with Renault/Lotus? "No, never. If I make a decision, and I know why I made the decision, then there's no point whining or wondering 'what if' afterwards. "Only I know the situation as it was then, no one else [does]. So what I decided was absolutely correct," insisted Glock. Subbed by AJN.

- " We booked a 3 private bedroom. At the time we arrived, we realised that our room was situated into a extremely little basement. The noise was uncomfortable, there were gaps into the wall of the bedroom and we had to share one bed because there were only two. The best of this hostel is the location. Our hostel room was full of inconveniences. We won't repeat. "
- 05 Dec 2014 LUCAS Spain
- " NO WINDOWS in almost any room, underground rooms. Super COLD. The heating was broke and it was doing lot of noise, We told them and firstly they told as about a discount because they coudn`t change our room, but they never gave us this discount.LIARS In compensation we used the baggage room, that is an open room and with no security...Room cost 352€.Baggage:10€. NOISE , you hear the underground and bars because the rooms are SUBTERRAIN. Early check out or pay more! NO EDUCATED workers. "
- 26 Nov 2014 Anonymous Spain
- " We booked for a private three bed room and we got a really tiny room with a bunk double and simple ved. The bathroom was so little and the sink oh my god you cant even wash your hands!!! There was not even a chair or a place to put personal items or clothes. To get to the room we had to climb an interminable stair until we finally got there. Off course no one from the staff helped with the luggage. Ive been in many hostels in london before, so i couldnt recommend this one to anyone!! "
- 20 Nov 2014 Delfina Maria Italy
- " I have never been so disappointed. With everything! I traveled a lot,and stayed in all kinds of hostels but this one is big disaster! Cleanliness and service were terrifying. Pictures of rooms are not as you can see! Not even a bit! Failed money!!!!! "
- 30 Oct 2014 Adriana Croatia
- " Good, convenient location near King's Cross Station, which is the major plus. Otherwise, one night here proved I am too old for hostels. Woman at desk didn't A) recognize the name of Charing Cross Station or B) know how to get there by looking at a map. 4-bed room was absurdly tiny, smaller than a prison cell. Squeaky bedsprings. Couple making out in the kitchen. I saw a rat. Would not stay here again. "
- 18 Aug 2014 Anonymous USA
- " Very noisy and the bathroom stinked "
- 31 Jul 2014 Lise France
- " Good hostel. Stayed in a 6 bed mixed dorm: spacious, clean and comfortable. Pros: excellent location, nice staff, good facilities and conditions, breakfast included (although very basic and simple), safety (lockers, neighbourhood, and hostel). Cons: bed light; noisy bed structures (they shake a lot!); some noise from the street; extra charges (late checkout, luggage storage). Definitely recommend it and would come back. Female, Portugal May 2014 "
- 02 May 2014 Martha Portugal
- " The hostel is really well located in the center of London, close to the station Kings Cross. The rooms are clean, people are nice and the hostel is definitely worth its prize. A big problem was the traffic noise during the night but that's why it's so well located in the center. I can recommend this hostel for a stay in London! "
- 13 Mar 2014 Kerstin Germany
- " We had a great experience at Kings Cross. The private we had was great, spacious and super clean bathroom. Location was awesome as it's so close to Kings Cross. Would definitely stay here again! Great price :) "
- 10 Mar 2014 Anonymous USA
- " This hostel has 2 good things to offer: reception hours and location. Downsides: hard-2-find laborinth inside, wifi expensive unless youre in the designated bar, kitchen disgusting, 16mixed dorm was cold and very noisy due to hard traffic outside. The private rooms had its own nice shower and wc, but also a badly-working AC giving the room extreme humidity (everything was wet, even beds), cold temperature and really bad smell. I wont return, I recommend other hostels nearby instead. "

November 28, 2006- 9.30 GMT
The Indian Minister of External Affairs, Pranabh Mukherjee called on the Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa earlier today for official discussions on matters of mutual interest. This was the first of a series of meetings between the President and Indian leaders scheduled for today and tomorrow.
It was a friendly and cordial meeting in which the Sri Lankan President and the Indian Minister reaffirmed the friendly ties between the two countries. Mr. Mukherjee
restated India's commitment to preserving the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Sri Lanka. There was a frank exchange of views between the Sri Lankan President and the Indian Minister on current developments in Sri Lanka, especially with regard to the peace process, humanitarian issues, and areas of cooperation between the two countries, with special emphasis on the economic development of Sri Lanka; the progress of negotiations on the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, Indian participation in infra-structure development and the expanding of IT education in Sri Lanka.
The meeting with President Rajapaksa and Indian Minister of External Affairs that lasted nearly 40 minutes was followed by a bi-lateral discussion by Sri Lankan officials led by Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera and key Indian officials led by External Affairs Minister Pranabh Mukherjee.
According to informed sources, at this bi-lateral discussion, Minister Pranabh Mukerjee said the good relations between India and Sri Lanka that were taken to new heights by the former foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar, should be taken to even greater heights of cooperation and understanding. Minister Mukherjee said the work on the proposed Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) was progressing well and that India was keen to see that both countries benefited from this
Minister Mangala Samaraweera said that Sri Lanka was confident that through the long experience of Minister Mukherjee, it would be possible to take the irreversible good relations between India and Sri Lanka to even higher levels of cooperation. He said that although Sri Lanka was a small neighbour of India, there was big potential for the country to be a partner in development. Commenting on economic development, Minister Samaraweera said that Sri Lanka gives priority to economic development in the peace process because a lasting peace was intertwined with economic progress.
The bi-lateral discussions covered the progress in a number of activities from the latest situation regarding the CEPA, which is expected to be finalized by end January 2007; Indian participation in the construction of the Southern railway on an Indian line of credit of US$ 100 million; the negotiations for the construction of two coal powered power projects in Trincomalee with Indian investment, which is in the final stages of negotiation; the improvement of civil aviation between the two countries; the establishment of an IT park in Sri Lanka; , the overall Development Cooperation between the two countries, special projects such as the expansion of the "Nenasala" programme, the improvements to the Dickoya Hospital, provision of boats to fishermen, and the Mahatma Gandhi scholarships to students in Sri Lanka's hill country.
It is reliably learnt that the bilateral discussions also discussed the question of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), especially in the East of Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan officials explained that a proposal by the government to establish a special area to accommodate the IDPs in the East had been turned down by the LTTE, and it wanted to continue to use displaced civilians as human shields and that further steps were being taken by the Sri Lankan government to bring relief to these people who were undergoing hardship, and that arrangements had been made to take a convoy of 50 trucks
with essential goods the Vakarai area.
Ministers Douglas Devananda, Rohitha Bogollagama, Janaka Bandara Tennekoon, Secretary to the Treasury Dr. P. B. Jayasundera, Secretary Foreign Affairs H. M. G. S. Palihakkara, Dr. Palitha Kohona, Secretary General of the Peace Secretariat and Dr. Rohan Perera, Advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were among the Sri Lankan officials present. Mr. Shiv Shankar Menon, Foreign Secretary of India, led the team of key Indian officials.

Directions: Head north of Spokane, following the river,
until you reach Seven Mile Bridge.
On the west side, go north about a half mile on Riverside State Park Drive.
Follow the Centennial Trail until you reach the creek.
Trail Information: I like to follow the mountain bike paths that encompass the basalt cliffs overlooking the creek. It's a beautiful area , very easy running, and moderate hazards if you decide to cross the creek in the spring. A local mountain biking guidebook lists a wonderful 5 mile loop. I highly recommend it.
Miscellaneous Information: In case you have rockshoes and a harness, there's great climbing in the area

Micron, Dell: Tech Winners & Losers
This story has been updated since 12:18 p.m. with information on Google and closing prices.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Micron (MU) shares soared 3.8% to $6.55 on Monday as investors digested the news about the chip maker's acquisition of bankrupt Japanese rival Elpida Memory Inc for $750 million in cash and $1.75 billion in future installment payments.
In a related deal, Micron took a 24% stake in Taiwanese chip maker Rexchip Electronics for about $334 million. Elpida and Rexchip's manufacturing capabilities will roughly double Micron's capacity to make DRAM memory chips, a key component for smartphones and mobile devices.
Investors in Dell (DELL) weren't so lucky as the PC giant slipped 1% to $12.39 on Monday after announcing its acquisition of software specialist Quest Software (QSFT) for $2.4 billion.Dell had been in a bidding war with buyout group Insight Venture Partners for months. Insight Venture Partners offered to buy Quest for $25.75 per share, or nearly $2.17 billion, earlier this year. Concerns about cloud technology swirled on Monday after a violent storm caused server-related outages for Netflix (NFLX), Instagram and Pinterest, which all rely on Amazon's (AMZN) Web services unit. However shares of Amazon held strong on Monday, up 0.42% to $229.32. Netflix fell only 0.93% reaching $68. Google rose slightly on Monday, gaining just 0.07% to close at $580.47 in light volume trade. Last week, at its annual I/O conference, the company announced a vast array of products and services that directly compete with Amazon, Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL). --Written by Nathalie Pierrepont in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Matching Gifts
Many businesses and corporations will match contributions to Augustana. Matching gifts are credited to the same fund as the donor's gift and generally match at a ratio of one half to three times the amount. For instance, the match for a gift to The Augustana Fund would also be credited to The Augustana Fund. They vary by the match ratio, maximum annual payout, and minimum amount to be matched. Although companies with matching gift policies will match gifts given by employees, some will also match gifts given by spouses or retirees.
There are two ways to apply a matching gift. The first involves sending a gift to Augustana with your employer's matching gift form, obtained from your employer's human resources office. Augustana verifies the receipt of the gift and returns the form to the employer. The second involves a paperless route where you register your contributions electronically, when available. Regardless of the method used, the end result is the same--Augustana benefits twice from the donor's generosity!
Donors who have their gifts matched receive recognition for the value of their own gift plus the value of the matching gift. You will receive recognition credit for gift club purposes upon receipt of the matching gift notification--whether paper or electronic.
Does your employer offer a matching gift program? We invite you to use our online search directory on this page to find out. This directory includes details of more than 17,000 employer-matching programs, and many of the matching gift forms are provided for downloading and printing right off the directory.

Foundations - our history
We are an organisation founded by ex-offenders to serve ex-offenders, our 5th anniversary is on 2nd October this year.
It was set up by the late Frank Brookes, who himself had been lost in a hedonistic lifestyle, but came to Christ in 1972 through the ministry of Arthur Blessit in Birmingham. Subsequently, Frank traveled to 88 different countries as an evangelist with Operation Mobilisation, before finally settling as a pastor of a small Brixton church of just 20 or so members in 2000. On the back of much prayer for the darkness in the surrounding area, and at the age of 57 in October 2006 Frank organised the first meeting of Transformed with about 20 ex-offenders and friends he'd met along the way, including Steve and Tom.
Mandy, committee member
God sent many people who would help the ministry, from a Sergeant in Lambeth Prolific and Priority Offender unit, to chaplains and other prison workers, a charity lawyer, other keen organisations, and former schoolboy drug dealer Tom Seidler of The Good Book Company with web skills and a willingness (when pushed hard by Frank) to be an amateur videographer.
Frank fell ill with cancer in 2010, and died in March 2011, leaving his wife Van and two daughters, Olivia and Grace (11 and 8) and had appointed Tom to follow in his footsteps with the help of the committee (which had three other ex-offenders on it: Mandy, Steve and Noel), in serving the needs of Transformed, that it might glorify Christ.
Noel, committee member
Five years on and Transformed wishes to publicly give praise for what God has done with such a group of volunteers who freely gave as they had freely received. On just ?5,000 in donations, 3 years worth of man hours, countless testimonies freely shared, Christian men of God bringing worship - over 60 meetings have been had, a website was built, 60+ testimony videos uploaded, 120,000 evangelistic tracts and 2,000 DVDs have been printed. Committee member Noel was enabled to form a branch in Southampton, and many friends in similar ministry have been encouraged as we've met and worked together.
This has not been without effect. Youtube.com/TransformedLives has seen 20,000 channel hits, and 220,000 videos watched, while www.transformed.org.uk has had 35,000 unique visits in the year before our 5th anniversary. The videos and literature have made it into prisons globally, and locally over a hundred ex-offenders have been reached with the gospel. All glory to Jesus Christ, who came "to seek and to save the lost", and is the same today, yesterday and forever: a friend to tax-collectors and prostitutes, a friend of sinners. The network that has formed, in part through Transformed, of family and friends deeply concerned over this area has continued to develop other projects too numerous to mention here.
Previously Transformed did not see going 'public' to the church as a priority, however, awareness of Transformed's activities and free resources is now seen as a crucial way of mobilising the church to serve the lost more effectively and thus maximising the gospel return on the talents invested! Transformed covet the prayers and partnership of the church, as our dreams continue to be as big as Frank's were in the founding: he wished to trumpet the power of Christ alone to completely change lives in a society that desperately needs such a message of hope. A particular aim is to update the Transformed.org.uk website into the premier league as our most effective method (to date) of fulfilling such gospel dreams. It is possible that only in the darkness surrounding Brixton could such a flower as Transformed have grown up under the Lord's hand - and certain that only his continued favour can help it serve it's founding purpose with integrity.
Our first meeting: October 7th, 2006
Chen, a Brixton man, shared - it was our first meeting. 26 turned up. It was a good time.

hello there," I say to a colleague I've never met before,
taking care to tilt my head back whilst looking down my nose at
the same time, meanwhile trying to fix her with my eyes. "I
see you're reading the company newsletter." She looks
away. No surprises there. Research published earlier this week in
the scientific journal Evolutionary Psychology may have found
that we make ourselves more attractive to the opposite sex if we
tilt our head (back, if you're a man, forwards if you're
a woman), but I can't see how anyone could fail to be alarmed
by a complete stranger flirting with them, whether it's in
the office, a restaurant or even a party.
Blue-sky thinkers
know better. Or the restaurant chain Pizza Express certainly does,
having recently hired a communications expert to train its staff
in the art of subtle flirtation and "unique conversation techniques"
in order to boost takings. I went along to a session at their new
restaurant in Richmond, south-west London, to see if I could deliver
a killer head tilt and mean mozzarella and tomato salad with the
best of them.
I met my new
colleagues – a small, friendly group of mainly teenage and
twenty-something waiters and waitresses – at 9am. It's too
early for polysyllabic conversation, let alone a wink, a nod and
a how's-your-father. Fortunately, Karl James, our trainer,
eases us in gently, with an interesting discussion about what makes
for good conversation, the key relationships in a restaurant and
how to improve dialogue among them.
James, 46 and
understatedly charming, is a former actor and director who now runs
the Dialogue Project, a company that helps foster better communication.
But what might otherwise have been just another standard training
session heats up when we get on to the topic of flirting –
defined by James as a "way of engaging with people that you
wouldn't do normally."
One waitress
describes how she might help an indecisive customer to choose the
right pizza: "I'd say, 'Are you a cheese person?
Or maybe you're in more of a meaty mood'."
says James. "Very playful."
Other examples
of "playfulness" might include asking someone what their
day had been like out of 10, or inquiring why they always chose
the same pizza. Open-ended questions that keep the conversation
going are key. One waiter, described by James as "camp as Christmas,"
is mentioned for the "delicious" way in which he recently
chatted to a large group of girls about their holidays.
to people is the most seductive thing you can do," says James.
"They'll fall in love with you. And besides, they'll
give you huge tips."

Some FSA plans let you turn in receipts from last year's plan year until 3/15. This is a friendly eSmart Tax reminder to turn in any receipts to your qualifying FSA plan so you don't lose it.
Back in 2005, the Treasury Department changed the rules to
allow employers to give workers until March
15 to spend their FSA money from the previous year. The idea was to avoid
problems with workers not being able to get medical appointments in December,
immediately before the old deadline. While employers aren't required to extend
the cutoff date for FSA expenses, many have. If you work for an employer that
has an extended cutoff date for using your FSA, it's important to know what
expenses qualify for it. Read more from eSmart Tax.

Our first ski today — on the road that goes through Smugglers' Notch!
Woot-woot! We got out on the snow for the first time this season! There's been quite a bit of natural snow falling in the higher elevations of northern Vermont (13 inches now at the stake atop Mt. Mansfield), so we headed for the Stowe - Smugglers' Notch area. We thought the skiing should be good on Route 108 going through Smugglers'Notch, and we were right! This section of the road is closed in the winter because it's too tough to plow through tight corners and rocks that...[Read more]

Here's a new year's resolution that'll be good for allBy DJ Yap
Looking for a simple and doable new year's resolution? How about one that lives and grows? To plant trees may well be the most suitable resolution environmentally minded Filipinos can make in the new year, as it is the "perfect way of giving back what we have extracted from mother earth," said Environment Secretary Ramon Paje.

Sebastian Vettel has warned Red Bull that they need to come back stronger if they want to regain their air of invincibility in the Championship.
Red Bull were pushed off the top step of the podium at the British Grand Prix as Fernando Alonso and Ferrari hit top gear for the first time this campaign. Alonso, who was just +0.11s off Mark Webber's P1 qualifying time on Saturday, beat both Red Bulls fair and square - as Vettel put it after the race - to claim the team's maiden win of 2011.
Vettel still leads the Drivers' Championship by 80 points with 10 races to go, but he knows they need to hit back if they want keep their rivals at an arm's length.
"It was a tough race and Ferrari was very quick, Fernando in particular, and they beat us," he told the Red Bull website. "We need to accept it, and to understand when you get beaten you have to accept it.
"It was a lesson to learn, and it is up to us now to refocus and make sure that we come back with stronger performance for the next couple of races. It is a very important time now for the Championship.
"We are in a good position still, but we need to keep working on ourselves because the otherwise the others come too close for our liking."
Team boss Christian Horner feels they were pretty good on intermediate tyres, but when they swapped to softs, Ferrari gained the upper hand.
"It was a race of two halves," he said. "On inters we seemed to be very strong and through the middle phase of the grand prix we seemed to be okay.
"But then the balance seemed to shift during the second half of the race. Potentially, as the fuel loads got lighter or as the circuit rubbered in, Ferrari's pace picked up and Fernando's pace was obviously very strong.
"As we see with these tyres there is obviously a sweet spot, but we were running in a [blown diffuser] configuration this weekend that we have not previously been in."

Girls with nice hands help selling rings, bracelets, gloves, nail polish... Girls with nice legs help selling stockings, shoes, pantyhose... Girls with nice breasts help selling bras, swimsuits, shirts, TV sets, cars, washing machines, cookies, video games...Here's a question for you. Say you have a new product or an old product in new packaging. You want to sell a lot of it and you want to sell it quickly. How? Do you describe it exactly how it is on the tin? Do you try to compare to other products? No way. Just think about it: you want people to buy what you sell. People buy what they like. People like sex. So you should equate what you sell with sex! Easy as pie...served by bikini-clad models. That is, you use a sexy image on an advertisement to sell the product. The thing is that the product has almost nothing to do with the image. It's simply an attention grabber, or something that causes a Pavlovian response that associates the product with sex. Also note that, while it is generally acknowledged that sex sells, in most places it's illegal to actually sell it. Furthermore, some studies suggest that sex doesn't sell, inasmuch as while people remember the commercial quite vividly afterwards, they forget the product. A Super Trope to Fanservice, Sexy Packaging, Sex for Product, Lady Not-Appearing-in-This-Game. A Sister Trope to Rule of Sexy. Compare Subliminal Advertising. Sexposition is this principle applied to exposition.

I found this wonderful pattern in a Burda issue from June '90 and didn't expect it to turn out that well. I lenghtened the ruffles and still have to add the straps.
Unfortunatley the top is too tight below my bust and therefore I won't be able to wear it. But I will most likely change this pattern to fit me and do it again.
My friend's mom for giving me a stack of old magazines.
Jul 22, 2013, 08.21 AMby Inneka
I tried really hard to find this pattern and this was the closest i found: http://kochammameichlebzesmalcem.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/diy-gorset.html it IS in polish, but if you have google chrome you can translate the page, and the photos are really helpful. It is the closest i could find to this pattern and i just thought i'd help out! it was perfect, exactly what i wanted! Super easy, too. (dont forget to use a jacket zipper, i was tired and forgot, and could not get it on!!)

I added a section for durids on the blogroll:
- Of Teeth and Claws caters to the tanking droods
- Resto4life and Rawr! I'm a Tree specialize on the nurturing aspects of the saving-everyone's butt kind.
I have a love-hate relationship with druids, it's the second class in terms of amount of toons I have created, it's also one of the only two which I can't bear (hahah. Ahem. Sorry, it's still Monday morning) levelling. Although I made some progress, since starting this blog my highest one is a brand new Tauren which made it to level 21 (previous ceiling was 16). It's also the class I'd love to play endgame for it's ultimate versatility and the fact that it is currently the only halfway decently implemented true hybrid in the game.
So respect to all the folks who levelled theirs to 70, and a double dose of that to anyone who made it to 60 before TBC, when druids were about as messed as pallies.
EDIT Jan'08: Apparently Rawr! I'm a Tree has disappeared off the blogosphere, the link has therefore been removed.

"That's a great question--a typical day? There's no typical day in the veteran's service office." For Tom Figliuzzi a regular day at the office is unpredictable, but the service he provides to the community is not.
Maybe it's because serving is in his blood.
Figliuzzi, his father and his brother served in the Army, and today this Clay County Veteran Service Officer continues to go above and beyond his job description. "I think not having a lot maybe growing up and having to just get by kind of helps you in the long run—you do appreciate where you come from and any little thing, and I think it lends to looking out for your fellow man a little more," Figliuzzi said. For disabled veteran Daryl Grandberry, Figliuzzi didn't just do a little more—he helped change his life. "He took the time to listen without prejudging me, you know? He listened with his ears and not his eyes." Three years ago, what Figliuzzi saw was a single dad with a 6-month-old daughter, no job and no place to live. What Figliuzzi heard was, of course, the sounds of service that he could help facilitate. "It's kind of compelling and touching for me all at the same time because I didn't know you and for a stranger to know you, to reach in their pocket and say 'Well, you got a place to stay'—-I saw the works of this office and not only the works of this office but Tom's the leader of this office," Grandberry said. To return the favor, Grandberry was more than happy to play a part in helping Figliuzzi receive the Human Rights Award from the Moorhead Human Rights Commission, but the service officer hopes the award can create awareness that more work still needs to be done to help veterans. "That would be the biggest thing, that to me, that this award could do," Figliuzzi said. And even if the community he serves is unpredictable, Figliuzzi's nature of continuing to help and provide for his fellow veterans remains the same.
