Stop Stealing Music: A Musicians Perspective
by AutumnsEyes
It's a strong misconception that musicians in the limelight are financially stable, and have more money than they know what to do with. Granted this may be true for your GaGa's and Green Day's of the world, but not with independent artists such as myself. Independent musicians actually strive to be successful financially, and use their talents to make a paycheck just like anyone else in the working world. There's only one problem, well actually several problems. I'm speaking of course about all the greedy selfish bums who pirate and steal music.
I used to be one of them, and I'm ashamed to admit it. I downloaded hordes of music in the past, and never thought twice about doing so. It wasn't until I began selling my own music when I realized what a shameful display of greed this epidemic has become.
When I started recording music under the name Autumns Eyes, I had no intentions of promoting or selling my creations. Several years passed by with only a small group of friends hearing what I'd recorded. It wasn't until a couple years ago that I got into promoting what I do in hopes of sharing it with the masses.
At first, I gave away all my material for free via downloads on the Autumns Eyes website. I even surpassed 10,000 album downloads in the first year doing so. Years later, I decided to sell one of my albums on iTunes to see if I could in fact make any money here. Not because I was greedy and wanted to be rich, but because just like everyone else, I had bills to pay.
The first album I sold on iTunes did moderately well, and sold a few copies here and there. The next release I did was again given away free of charge, and did significantly better in download numbers than the album I previously sold on iTunes.
I wondered if perhaps the quality of the recordings and songs had something to do with this. After all, the prior albums were recorded with cheap equipment on a much quicker and spontaneous time frame. So I made sure to put everything I had into my next album. I spent years writing and recording the newest release, and pushed through stressful road blocks along the way such as having multiple surgeries on my wrist. Nothing short of getting hit by a truck could have stopped me from putting everything I had into my work.
The time came to release my new album, and the debut went very well. Days went by and sales were growing. Then, out of nowhere, I suddenly noticed a huge drop in sales. I did a Google search for my new album and found a handful of sites giving my new album away for free. I immediately calmed my angry nerves, and began to file Digital Millennium Copyright Act claims against the sites which were illegally giving away my material. My content was then removed, and the sites were shut down soon after.
I ended up setting a Google Alert for the title of my new album, which in turn would send me an email every time the title would appear in Google's search results. I was completely stunned by the results. Multiple sites were now giving away what I spent years of hard work on, for free. The illegal activity was spreading like wildfire. So much that I couldn't keep up with all the illegal sites popping up. For every site I reported, ten more would take its place.
It made me sick to my stomach, and I couldn't wrap my head around why this happened. It's hard to translate this experience to someone who doesn't know what it's like first hand. Even more shocking are the excuses people gave for pirating music illegally, and saying things like "they don't need the money, it's probably getting them more exposure anyways" which is as unintelligent a statement one could make on the subject.
The people pirating music act as if they have the right to dictate what musicians need and deserve. Yet they fail to realize that no matter what immature and irrelevant excuse they spew out of their greedy little mouths, there is nothing to excuse the fact that they are severely damaging the one thing they claim to love in the first place. The music itself.
How do they expect musicians to fund their recordings, go on tour, and even buy more equipment? If musicians are forced to reach into their own pockets for these things, it's less likely that people are going to get a product they will enjoy. Fans won't get a tour in their city, they won't get any merchandise, and they won't get a quality recording from the band. If a person really likes a band and wants to hear/see more from them in the future, why would they deem it appropriate to steal from them and prevent that from happening?
What's even worse, is that some people actually get legitimately angry in defense of stealing music. As if they earned the right to rob artists of their hard work. Well they don't have the right to steal from someone, and they never will. If they steal music they are nothing more than a parasite.
People have also argued they can't afford to purchase music. By this logic if you can't afford a concert ticket, you should be able to walk into a venue and watch the show for free. Hell, why not just grab some free merchandise too since you can't afford that either? Artists work hard to share their creative vision with the rest of the world, and fans have to work hard earning money to support it.
Even the bigger named acts suffer from this, as surprising as that may seem. If a big name band takes a hit in record sales, the concert promoters won't have any reason to book them since they can't even sell any records. Touring is where a lot of bands make the most money, and when you take that away they no longer have the ability to pay for studio recordings, merchandise, road crew, and so on.
Someone who steals music is no different from a shoplifter, the only difference being its much easier to get away with stealing music via the internet since it happens so quickly, and there is nobody watching over to catch you in the act. It's a senseless act of greed and selfishness that needs to stop before it gets worse. Sadly, many people will continue to take this for granted and eventually wonder why the music they used to love has failed to grow, as this plague continues to spread like a virus.
Generally I encourage people to share their comments on articles like this, whether it be a positive outlook or even a negative one. However, if ones aim here is to try and argue why there is nothing wrong with stealing music, I ask that they not even waste their words. There is nothing anyone can say to make this right, but there is something that can be done about it. This is one case where actions will most definitely speak louder than words.

Where is your summer teen entrepreneur?
By Farrah Gray
NNPA Columnist
With the school year over in June and financial resources lacking, millions of parents are asking — how can my teen or young adult make money this summer?
Okay, maybe its somewhere between having a neighborhood lemonade stand and working at a real job, so what should a young teen do? Many states have laws that limit when teens can get a job and how long they are allowed to work per week, so how are they expected to make the money for clothes, dates, cars, etc.? The answer: Go into business –—become an entrepreneur.
Have confidence in your teen to succeed. I know it can be done because I lived it — by the time I was six-years-old I sold home-made body lotion and hand-painted rocks as book-ends, door-to-door. At age seven, I was carrying business cards reading "21st Century CEO." At eight, I became co-founder of Urban Neighborhood Enterprise Economic Club (U.N.E.E.C.) on Chicago's tough Southside. It took hard work, an ability to listen and a persistent drive with smart decisions to succeed.
Before going into a list of ideas for your teen's new business venture, let's go over a few rules to ensure some level of success:
– A teen must be able to promote something of value to potential customers and clients.
– A teen must be able to make a profit with the business. They need to be able to set prices — and stick to it (and be able to collect money) — above their costs.
– A teen must know one of the most important rules of marketing — to satisfy the customer! They must offer a quality service or product to build customers.
– A teen must avoid serious errors — in actions of judgment — in running the business. If they do something wrong, regardless of whose fault, it can cause anger, disappointment, or bad publicity. Make sure they face disappointment immediately and learn to correct it.
n A teen must be prepared to work long hours at establishing the business. It's called work for a reason – he/she needs to be dedicated to establish the business.
The basic rules are not meant to scare off aspiring entrepreneurs but rather to facilitate success. Running a business is great real-world experience for the young teen making money but also to gain valuable knowledge skills that can be presented on resumes and college applications.
So, what are some ideas for a business beyond a lemonade stand or babysitting? Here goes:
– A cleaning service. Maybe they hate doing chores at home, but getting paid for doing them is completely different! The teen entrepreneur could offer complete housecleaning services, or specialize in one or more areas, such as attic/basement/garage cleanups.
– A yard maintenance service. There is always something that needs to be done … mowing lawns and weed control in the spring and summer, raking leaves in the fall, and shoveling snow and planting for the spring in the winter.
– A car-detailing business. With so many people working multiple jobs and having such busy lifestyles, very few people have the time to really take care of their cars – and the teen entrepreneur could offer a weekly or monthly service of washing, waxing, vacuuming, etc.
– A pet sitting service. Typically more of a summer business when people tend to go on vacation, but they might be able to have a year-round business by offering pet walking, bathing, cleaning, etc. services.
– A PC tutor/Web site development service. Is your teen a whiz with computers and the Web? Well, many adults are not, and computer-savvy teen entrepreneurs can build a good business helping people learn to use PCs and develop Web sites for their families — or other business owners.
– A painting service. If your teen has some experience — or there is a few of their friends that want to go in business — your teen might consider a painting business. People are always renovating … and painting exteriors in the warm summer months and interiors during the colder months.
A freelancing service. If the teen entrepreneur is truly gifted in certain areas, such as writing, art, drawing, or photography, consider starting a freelance service where they sell their unique talents to various neighbors, businesses and media outlets.
Remember entrepreneurs achieve their success with determination, smart decisions and hard work. Keep an open mind with a positive attitude, the rewards are worth it!

I am looking for a new source control solution. We are currently using an ancient version of VSS, and it sucks.
This will be used by only me for now, and at most two or three others in the future.
I would like it to be usable from within VS 2008.
It has to be free. Our company is not buying any new software due to the economic downturn.

Late nights and early early mornings
Yes its true. Pure vanity and boredom have led me to create an online journal. Believe me, I am just as shocked as you are. I've held a staunch anti-journal stance for so long that I feel like somewhat of a sellout hahahhaha. AnyWayyy, today was lovely. This morning I was so ridiculously tired from last night that I decided school was not where it was at this morning. My mother agreed. I slept most of the day but dragged myself to school at 2 for kickline practice. We have the fucking pep rally on Friday and HOmecoming on saturday. Pshhh that means I have to wear that damn sparkly get up to school on friday. I hate wearing it to school because its so short and I always feel like my ass is hanging out extrememly . Whateverrrr. Tomorrow is eighties dayyy. OH yes that will be fabulous. Tomorrow night I'm going to the Yankee game with Brian and Joey. That should be awesome I <3 nightime yankee games. Pshhhh Real World sucked tonight. I thought it was going to so much fucking better than it was.

Bailey's microwave meltdown. I was laughing at Bailey the whole episode. She was such great comic relief! The scene where she was busily buzzing around the attendings lounge putting sticky notes -- "Clean out nasty food!" on the fridge; "This is not your bed" to Karev" -- had me doubling over with laughter. It was almost like The Nazi was back! And I loved her line to Webber about the reinstated Kepner going into surgery. "The closest that girl has been to an OR in months is -- what? -- the Moline Large Animal Vet. Her head is not in the game!"
But the real moment -- a great mixture of hilarious and heartfelt -- came when Bailey was maniacally cleaning out the attendings lounge microwave, which was covered in splattered, cooked food. "It is a horror movie inside this microwave!" she bellowed, as Webber approached. "It is a horror movie!" That was the humor -- then came the drama, when Webber told her that she needed to channel her increased free time and energy into something productive, not microwave cleaning. "Hell, invent the Bailey Method! You gotta get out there and don't look back." Hopefully coming soon: good things for Bailey. With Ben gone and Tuck in kindergarten, she's in need of a good, meaty storyline. Bring it!
Cristina makes friends with Mr. Feeny. I don't know what his real character name is, and I don't know that I care to figure it out. But Cristina -- locked away in Minnesota -- really made some progress with her fellow heart surgeon, played by the same guy who played Mr. Feeny on Boy Meets World. They really seemed to connect! I was especially touched by those final moments when Mr. Feeney told her that he, too, had been in a plane crash in Vietnam and then offered her a cigarette, even though he doesn't smoke. "Seems like everything kills you these days," he said.
Cristina's storylines also produced a bevy of other delightful moments. I loved it when, in the OR, Mr. Feeney -- okay, let's call him Dr. Feeney -- had just explained why he did the surgery the way he did. And then said, "This way Bo Bo has a chance at life." It was Cristina who -- under her breath -- corrected him with the patient's real name: Pop Pop. She knew it! She was paying attention! There were other touching moments to Cristina's story that were hilarious: the tater-tot hot dish stuff with Pop (maybe you only love that if you're from the Midwest?); when her boss (you know, Rex from Desperate Housewives) accused her of just Googling the Mall of America and jeggings; and when she told Rex that she was "laughing, just not externally." See what I mean about the moments? The mix of laughs and drama? It was so great last night.
One addendum to Cristina's storyline that I feel needs to be addressed is: When is she coming back to Seattle? Like, it better be soon. I'm totally into her traipsing off to become a more whole person, but she's going to be needed back at Seattle Grace before too long. It's just weird for her to be away for too long. Am I right?
Alex's dance with his new intern. Alex's storyline wasn't as pronounced or delicious but it eventually had a nice moment. The surly doctor spent most of the hour giving his spritely new intern Jo mundane tasks, until she finally convinced him to take her seriously -- mostly because she dished his stupid, sleep-with-the-interns tactic right back into his face. "I have absolutely no interest in you since you've already screwed every one of my friends." It certainly wasn't as powerful as the rest of the episode, but it was definitely a good moment.
NEXT: Kepner and Avery get sexy, yes!

Addressing New Markets
HP Graphics Leadership Summit
By Digital Output staff
At the end of June 2013, in Alpharetta, GA, Hewlett-Packard (HP) invited press and analysts to the HP Graphics Leadership Summit. At the two-day event, attendees learned about announcements in the graphic arts division of the company, from new product launches to portfolio rebranding.
Boaz Peret, business director and site manager, Scitex Industrial Presses, and Joan Perez Pericot, marketing director, large format sign and display division, printing and personal systems group, HP, led the presentations. Pericot began his remarks stating, �inkjet will transform everything.� He then discussed HP�s future in digital.
Of note, based on reports from IDC and internal research, HP cites it has held 50 percent of the market share in high-end large format print over eight consecutive quarters. This positioning allows it to expand into markets unfamiliar with digital.
It previewed the newest member of its Scitex portfolio�the HP Scitex FB10000. An official announcement came at FESPA in London June 25 to 29, 2013. The printer targets those looking to capitalize on the capabilities of digital in corrugated packages and displays, as well as retail graphics. New HP Scitex HDR300 printheads, the third generation of HP Scitex Piezo inkjet technology, offer high image quality, productivity, and easy maintenance.
The printheads are part of HP Scitex High Dynamic Range (HDR) printing capability, which provides color accuracy, fine color relation, fine image detail, and productivity. Speeds range from sample print mode at 3,358 square feet per hour (sf/h) to 6,727 sf/h in production mode. Combined with new HP HDR240 Scitex pigmented UV inks, output from the HP Scitex FB10000 is a fit for a variety of applications.
Continuing its support of its latex printers, the company showcased the HP Latex 3000, which offers broader media versatility, including heat-sensitive substrates. It features six colors plus an additional channel for the HP Latex Optimizer. The optimizer consists of a clear ink vehicle and a cationic polymer applied by the printhead proportionally to local ink coverage in the image. Print speeds range from a high-saturation mode of 375 sf/h to 1,950 sf/h in billboard mode. Third-generation HP 881 Latex Inks provide scratch resistance comparable to hard-solvent inks on certain substrates.
The HP Latex 3000 comes on the heels of the announcement HP is rebranding all of the Designjet and Scitex printers in the latex portfolio to HP Latex. Also important to latex models, HP expands media offerings by certifying third-party media.
Attendees toured the Alpharetta showroom, watching the HP Latex 3000 in action and studying the applications possible with latex printing. Guests provided HP with high-resolution personal photos and engineers printed them to canvas and then manufactured tote bags. The on-site process further illustrated the capabilities of HP and its printers. For further coverage on HP and its newest announcements continue following Digital Output.

NYC Carousels: Get Merry and Go Around
There's something wonderfully nostalgic about kids getting a thrill from a ride on a carousel. There are a dozen merry-go-rounds in our great city, with one brand-new one slated to open later this year.
Carousels have a long and lovely history in NYC. (You can read all about it and see some wonderful vintage photographs on the Parks Department's website.) With spring in full swing, it's a great time to take your first spin of the season. There are merry-go-rounds in all five boroughs, which means there's probably one near you.
Le Carrousel – Midtown West
Bryant Park, 40th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues
Open year-round. Hours vary. $3.
This petite, European-style merry-go-round features a menagerie of animals in addition to horses. It spins very slowly to French cabaret music, making it ideal for younger children.
Central Park Carousel – Central Park
Mid-park at 64th Street
Open daily April-October, weekends November-March. Hours vary. $3.
All NYC families know about this famed merry-go-round. With nearly life-size horses, it's one of the biggest in the country. It goes surprisingly fast, so consider riding in one of the chariots if your kid's not a speed freak.
Pier 62 Carousel – Chelsea
Hudson River Park, Pier 62, 23rd Street at the Hudson River
Open daily spring, summer and fall. Hours vary. $2.
Kids can take a whirl alongside the Hudson on one of the beautifully carved animals, most indigenous to our area (Atlantic sturgeon, harbor seal, horseshoe crab—we're guessing the butterfly unicorn's not from around here). A green roof decorated with twinkling LED lights adds to the magic.
Totally Kid Carousel – Harlem
Riverbank State Park, enter at Riverside Drive and 145th Street
Open June-October. Hours vary. $1.
Local artist Milo Mottola built this funky carousel. The designs were all based on children's drawings of animals, making it truly one of a kind. It's a gorgeous merry-go-round, and offers stunning views of the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge. Be warned: The hours are sporadic, even in the summer.
SeaGlass – Battery Park City
Scheduled to open in spring 2015. Visit thebattery.org for updates.
Although it's been delayed many times now, this aquatic-themed carousel is shaping up to be absolutely stunning. Kids don't sit on fish; they ride inside gorgeous sea creatures. Definitely click through to see the photos!
Prospect Park Carousel – Prospect Heights
Use Willink park entrance, at Ocean and Flatbush Avenues and Empire Boulevard
Open late March-mid-November. Hours vary. $2.
Almost as famous as its Central Park counterpart, this classic carousel, featuring 53 carved animals, is open for its 100th season! It's also wheelchair accessible.
Jane's Carousel – Dumbo
Empire-Fulton Ferry Park in Brooklyn Bridge Park
Open year-round. Hours vary. $2.
It was a project that took years and millions of dollars. But as of September 16, 2011, Jane's Carousel—formerly on stationary display in a gallery at 56 Water Street—is installed and spinning at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
B&B Carousell – Coney Island
Steeplechase Plaza, the boardwalk between West 16th and West 19th Streets
Open mid-April-October. Hours vary. $3.
Built in 1919, this historic relic from Coney Island's past was saved from the auction block by the Bloomberg administration in 2005. After a painstaking restoration process, the merry-go-round was installed in a pavilion with ocean views alongside the derelict Parachute Jump. Operated by Luna Park, it's the only ride on the west side of the boardwalk and a stone's throw from the Brooklyn Cyclones MCU Park.
Flushing Meadows Carousel – Flushing
Flushing Meadows Corona Park, enter at 111th Street and 55th Avenue
Open late March-October. Hours vary. $3.
This merry-go-round, which was cobbled together from two other carousels, debuted at the 1964 World's Fair. Some kids may enjoy the wind whipping through their hair, while others will be stoked to ride a giant lion. As of 2013 it's the centerpiece of the mini-amusement park Fantasy Forest.
Forest Park Carousel – Forest Park
Woodhaven Boulevard and Forest Park Drive
Open late March-October. Hours vary. $3.
This merry-go-round closed back in 2008 when the operator and the city got into a disagreement over money, but thanks to a new operator, the carousel is turning again.
Staten Island
Carousel for All Children – Staten Island
Willowbrook Park in the Greenbelt
Open Saturday, May 3-October. Weekly schedule varies. $1.50.
This gorgeous Victorian carousel really stands by its name by accommodating children with physical disabilities.
Conservation Carousel – Staten Island Zoo
614 Broadway Open Monday-Friday 11am-3pm; Saturday-Sunday 11am-4pm
The zoo debuted this brand-new merry-go-round in summer 2014. Housed inside a glass pavilion, the carousel features two-dozen wooden endangered creatures to ride, including a Komodo dragon, a koala, a rhinoceros, a polar bear and a Tamandua, all handcrafted by Ohio-based Carousels & Carvings.
The Bronx
The Bug Carousel – The Bronx Zoo
Open year-round. Hours vary. $3. Included in Total Experience Ticket.
Don't get creeped out when your kids ride these giant insects. They're actually pretty cool.
Find out where else you can go round and round with our roundup of Long Island carousels.

Beer lovers beware: Researchers in Germany have found traces of arsenic in hundreds of tested beer samples. Many beers are filtered with diatomaceous earth, a mined sedimentary rock that contains iron, metals and can contain arsenic and makes the beverages clear. The beers tested were found to have levels of arsenic, some at twice the amount allowed in drinking water.
Very precise testing methods having been developed in recent years, giving researchers the ability to pinpoint the chemicals and toxins that are present in beer and wine more easily than ever before. Germany has the highest standards for beer of any country, with a purity law dating back to the 16th century. Under the law, known as the Reinheitsgebot, careful evaluation is made of the beer's sole ingredients — water, hops and malt.
Chemists have closely evaluated those three ingredients, and now their attention has turned toward the diatomaceous earth filtering process. Diatomaceous earth has been used to naturally filter both beer and wine for hundreds of years, made up of porous diatom fossils that naturally suck out cloudy matter from liquids. On April 7, researcher Mehmet Coelhan of Germany's Weihenstephan research center announced that they found high concentrations of extractable arsenic in the diatomaceous earth, causing 360 beers to have traces of arsenic.
The arsenic content for the drinking standard for water in the United States is just 10 parts per billion, and some of the tested beers ranked in at 25 parts per billion. While this is still miniscule, the researchers are unsure of the health effects on heavy beer drinkers, and plan to further research arsenic content in diatomaceous earth used in filtering beer and wine.

Is it 360 different beer bottles or 360 different beer brands?
mrjazzitup April 16, 2013 at 6:55 pm
wow Eddie your argument, if it is that, is vapid. Should we then allow mercury, lead or other heavy metals to be consumed by beer drinkers if they are then found to be present just because those consumers use the product for \\\"unhealthy\\\" reasons? And furthermore what makes you think drinking beer or even wine is inherently unhealthy…? See some studies which suggested mild consumption of wine is good for you.

No one drinks beer for their health anyway.

what makes them proven headliners?
do they have to have headlined coachella to be proven? because phoenix headlined lolla in 2010, and they did just fine.
For Coachella they are arguably 2nd highest billed of all acts(presuming Fridays headliners only get top line by sharing.) 4 years later without a single note of new music heard.
Last edited by Bumblebee; 02-13-2013 at 09:18 AM.
The answer is yes. You obviously didn't see them at Coachella in 2010.
Guys, hopefully they'll drop some balls or have lasers or something.
fuckin' with the lights on
Will people riot? Go home early? Go see what's on the other stages instead? Not buy passes next year?
What, quite literally, is the point of your endless concern trolling about who "deserves" to headline and what the respective audience count was at various headlining sets at Coachella and other festivals over the years?
If Phoenix didn't deserve to headline Saturday night they wouldn't be headlining.
Why is this such a hard concept to grasp?
Maybe Knife Party will drop some wibblle-wabbles on the main stage after them.
fuckin' with the lights on
Now I say this as a fan of Tool but what album of theirs had more mainstream success/radio play then Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix?
sry dood
Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_discography
Their single drops on Monday, excited to hear it!
Friday: Outkast, The Replacements, Girl Talk, Chromeo, AFI, The Afghan Whigs, Bastille, Jagwar Ma, Grouplove, Caravan Palace
Saturday: Muse, QOTSA, Pharrell, Foster the People, Empire of the Sun, Kid Cudi, Sleigh Bells, Cage the Elephant, CHVRCHES, Capitol Cities, Temples, Bombay Bicycle Club, Holy Ghost!, Bear Hands
Sunday: Arcade Fire, Beck, Neutral Milk Hotel, Trombone Shorty, Frank Turner, Surfer Blood, J Roddy Walston
Alright well I will admit when I am wrong. I didn't do any research simply because I don't ever remember hearing any Tool song get as much radio play as 1901 or Lisztomania did/still does. It could also just be I don't listen to the radio that often so when I do I just coincidentally hear Phoenix almost every time and not Tool.
Perhaps both the festival and the band thought the album would be out before some delays.
Band/audience/promoters seem to be eyeing a transition to arena/headliner type status. It's a legit question to ask if playing a set with 1/3rd unknown material at the continents highest profile festival could work against that attempted transition.
Tool had the album out by show number 2. Coldplay had proshot videos of the new songs hit the web immediately after that performance.
I hope fans at Coachella get more than the single and Vanouver audience shot video in which to judge the set.

Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley May Miss Estimates, Analyst Says
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Market expectations for second-quarter earnings from Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) may still be too high, according to Citigroup analyst Keith Horowitz.
A tough June month has "erased optimism" about a strong start to the second quarter, the analyst said in a note Tuesday. He lowered his second-quarter earnings estimate for Goldman Sachs by 40 cents to $2.70, well below the $2.83 consensus estimate reported by Thomson Reuters. The analyst expects Goldman to miss consensus, as its investing and lending portfolio is likely to have been hurt by the "recent correction in risk assets."
Morgan Stanley is also likely to miss the consensus earnings estimate of 45 cents per share by 3 cents, according to Horowitz, though this is largely because the buyout of the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture is being completed later than expected.
Horowitz's views appear to be shared by Atlantic Equities analyst Richard Staite, who earlier this week lowered his estimates for Goldman and Morgan Stanley to $2.70 per share and 42 cents per share respectively.Estimates are also off for JPMorgan Chase (JPM), according to Horowitz, though in this case the bank could surprise on the upside. The analyst notes that consensus estimates are still to factor in management's guidance of mortgage loan loss reserves, which is expected to add 11 cents to earnings per share. JPMorgan is likely to report earnings of $1.63 per share, according to Horowitz, while consensus expects a much lower $1.42 a share. The analyst's estimates for Bank of America (BAC) and Lazard (LAZ) at 27 cents per share and 33 cents per share are modestly ahead of the market's expectations. Analysts will probably continue to adjust their estimates in the next few days, ahead of the earnings season which kicks off next week. Investors are likely to give banks a pass for a tough trading quarter, however, and may be more focused on the outlook for banks now that interest rates are heading higher. JPMorgan and Bank of America may benefit the most, according to the Citigroup analyst. Both banks have noted previously that a 100 basis point increase in the long-end of the yield curve with flat short-term rates will add $900 million and $1.6 billion respectively to net interest income over the next 12 months. Also if higher rates are signaling a strong economy ( and not just fears about the end of monetary stimulus by the Fed), this could lead to increased capital market activity, benefiting Goldman, Morgan Stanley and Lazard, according to Horowitz. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj New York. >Contact by Email.

Q From Barry Nordin; related questions came from Anne Cox, Nick Carrington, and William Hale: Shank's mare: I'm intrigued by this term for walking. However, my reference books, and a cursory AOL internet search, provide scant information on its derivation. I know you'll be much better informed.
A I am better informed, but it took more work than I expected, as it isn't in some of my standard references.
It's Scottish, dating from the eighteenth century. There was a verb, to shank or to shank it, meaning to go on foot. This is from standard English shank for the part of the leg from the knee to the ankle, which comes from Old English sceanca, the leg bone. This verb developed into shank's naig or shank's naigie (where the second words are local forms of nag, a horse) and later into shank's mare. It was a wry joke: I haven't got a horse of my own for the journey, so I'll use Shank's mare to get there, meaning I'll go on my own two feet. This supposed link with a person called Shank explains why the first word is often capitalised.
Another form, now more common in Britain, is shank's pony.

Yes, opening an apparel store will cost you, and Oklahoma State University merchandising professor Nancy Stanforth, who once owned a clothing store, recommends a bankroll of as much as $250,000. But before your heart stops, read on. You can do it for less.
"You may not have $250,000, but my advice is to not even think about opening a store until you've got the right financing," says Margie P., a successful Redmond, Washington, store owner who sells women's, men's and children's clothing.
Like several other apparel 'lifers' we interviewed for this guide, Margie, whose store has been around for 23 years, first opened her doors in 1976 with her eyes wide shut, so to speak. Eager to get out of the real estate business and 'spending my Sunday afternoons sitting in other people's homes,' she opened a clothing store in the same downtown building where her husband had a restaurant. Margie got a $30,000 loan and was off and running.

We know this fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants attitude--as well as the notion that $30K is enough to start a clothing store--goes against our principle of good business acumen, especially today.
Minimally most entrepreneurs interviewed for this business guide wouldn't dream of opening a store with less than $50,000. Stanforth recommends $150,000 to get a store up and running, while Debbie Allen, the owner of a Scottsdale, Arizona, women's clothing store and industry speaker, says you should start out with $200,000 for a 1,200- to 1,500-square-foot store--the average in this business.
The point is, you'll find many conflicting opinions when it comes to the amount of cash you should have to open an apparel store, but we won't get into any trouble by saying the more money you have, the better off you'll be. (Isn't that true in any business?) As Allen says, "The more undercapitalized you are, the longer it will take for you to turn a profit." Now that about says it all.
An Easy Rule
If reading numbers in columns makes you dizzy, we'll spell it out for you. "People get into trouble because they don't know how much their rent should be in ratio to the amount of sales their store is generating," says Dan Paul, an industry consultant with retail consulting firm, RMSA. "The fact is that rent should be kept between 5 and 6 percent of your total sales, so at the top end, you can figure that you'll need $18,000 a year for rent. That means in order to keep rent at 6 percent, your store will have to generate $300,000 in annual sales."

"In this plate of food, I see the entire universe supporting my existence."– A Zen blessing
The one thing which I feel binds all the inhabited (Ok! Uninhabited too) fragments of Earth is Food. We all love our traditional and authentic cuisine which we grew up with, but to know, to learn the other delights and to discover the commonality which exists between them is real gourmand's (in a good sense of course!) pleasure.
If you have already, or all this while waited to cross the borders, go beyond the usual, then this is going to be a wonderful opportunity to share your experiences with the rest of us. I have always been curious about the different cuisines for quite a while now and have tried to incorporate it to my tastes and senses, hence the need to learn and explore this path and which is the reason to start this new Event named "A Worldly Epicurean's Delight – In short A.W.E.D." I humbly invite all the talented culinary enthusiasts to join me in this journey of exploring the various cuisines of the world.
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.- Albert Einstein
What is that you have to do? Since I intend to keep this site Vegan/Vegetarian, my request would be to make a dish which is vegetarian or made vegetarian. I have mails where faithful readers have asked me for famous recipes which can be made vegetarian. You can refer to my other recipes which are usually non vegetarian / Vegetarian but which I have changed to vegetarian / vegan respectively ( ex: Spaghetti with Bean balls ( in place of meat balls).
You can always mention the non vegetarian ingredients which you normally add to the ingredients list to let everyone know of the non-vegetarian substitutions which one can make, but the recipe on the whole should be a Vegetarian or a Vegan one. This is to get your creative juices flowing and to enable all the vegetarian and vegetarian aspirants get their hands on all the cuisines. Lets get awed with A.W.E.D !!!!
Lemme kick start this event with a Cuisine from the Land of Fiestas – Viva Mexico. I chose this first since its cuisine shares its taste buds with Indian Cuisine (Ahem! If truth be told, in the beginning, I found making these much easier and tastier than the others..but then that how much (or less!), I knew about the rest.) I am sure there are v .v few who would not like a Mexican Spread. From tortillas to tortillas soup, from Burritos to Fajitas, from salsa to Guacamole(!!), the list goes on and on. I am hungry already.
The rules are v v simple
1) Make any dish – be it Appetizer, Main Course or Dessert ( do mention that in your blog) – Vegetarian/Vegan and post the same in your blog /site and link it back to the announcement. Feel free to use the logo.
2) Multiple entries are more welcome than ever, since more the recipes, more the choices available to all of us.
3) Take a snap showcasing your creation and send it across with a size of 300 X 300 pixels.
4) Send me your "Name", "Recipe", "Recipe URL", "Photo" and "Location" to : firstname.lastname@example.com ( thats i(dot)am(dot)awed(at)gmail(dot)com )
5) Last date for the entries are May 15th 2008.
5) Not having a blog is no excuse to let you get away with your tasty creations. So Non-Bloggers pls do send me the same details as above to the mail given.
This event will be as helpful and resourceful as you make it to be and I request your participation to make it a gala success.!
Thanks DK, for being so accomodating.
I have redone all the links to this event.
Oh shoot! This was an easy one for me but unfortunately I just learned about it today I'll wait for the next one

"I loved this announcement. I had newborn photos taken professionally. For the announcement I used a fall themed picture and it matched perfectly with the orange on the card. The cards are nice and thick. The bows on the back were a cute touch. I got a lot of great feedback from everyone I sent these to. I am also very impressed with the quickness that I received them."
"Wonderful design, really happy with the orange color and the painterly style. Excited to send this out. Wish the print quality a little more crisp but overall very happy with the end result."
"Best quality paper, quick response from the people working on the invitation. Lots of choices to choose from. Great all around."
"I ordered these with the scalloped edges and red envelopes. Everyone that has gotten an invite raves about them. They are super cute and good quality. Great design for my sons first birthday party carnival / circus theme."
"This card was great...love the vintage look...please carry more unique hard to find looks like this!!!! And some unique religious themes like angels or other Catholic themes: a little lamb etc."

Leon Kossoff
Leon Kossoff (born 7 December, 1926) is a British expressionist painter, known for portraits, life drawings and cityscapes of London, England. Leon Kossoff was born in 1926 in Islington, London, and spent most of his early life living there with his Russian Jewish parents. In 1938, he attended the Hackney Downs School in London. In 1939, he was evacuated with the school to King's Lynn, Norfolk, where he lived with Mr and Mrs R.C. Bishop, who encouraged his interest in art. During this time, Kossoff made his first paintings. When he returned to London in 1943, Kossoff went to St Martin's School of Art, and studied commercial art. He also attended life drawing classes in the evenings at Toynbee Hall. After his education was completed he spent three years in military service with the Royal Fusiliers, attached to the 2nd Battalion Jewish Brigade, and served in Italy, Holland, Belgium and Germany. After his military service, he returned to the St. Martin's School of Art in 1949, and at Borough Polytechnic, took special classes under David Bomberg from 1950 to 1952. He was also influenced by another one of his teacher's students, Frank Auerbach. Both young artists dealt with similar  ( Wikipedia article )

What are white man's ways? Does the color of your body determine your ways? I have relatively white skin, but my ways are very different than the leaders of our country in the privy council, the judiciary and our legislative bodies who have direct responsibility to work with Innu leadership in good faith. This letter starts a better conversation than Jackson's last column that defended the CBC, however, it may perpetuate the "myth", or belief, that there is a such thing as white culture, or white ways. I suppose Mr. O'Brien is referring to the Crown of England, and the problems the natives of Wales, Scotland and Ireland faced in their education into British-Roman governance methods, or as we now call it, colonial white man's ways. History is another key to producing Innu heroes. I'd cry tears of joy to hear young Innu recount history of not only Labrador, but of all natives who fought for land, reprieve, and dignity.

text: 5 ways to avoid the Google Panda / Farmer update for duplicate content eCommerce sites 10:39 on Tue, 29 Mar 2011 | SEO | 15 Comments Popular UK SEO blogger, Patrick Altoft at Blogstorm released a post yesterday outlining the potential impact of Google's Panda / Farmer update will have on eCommerce sites with little unique content. The update can potentially affect eCommerce sites that have product descriptions duplicated across many other sites. For example if your site sells laptops and you are using exactly the same product descriptions and specifications as the manufacturer and many other sites, you could face a drop in organic search traffic. Although this isn't set in stone, it is certainly something that should be taken seriously as the Panda update will hit the UK any time soon. If your site is facing these difficulties, consider the following to try and differentiate your content from the rest of the crowd: Hire a content writer to write unique, compelling descriptions for your products. This will not only make Google happy but may increase conversion rates as well. Pull in snippets of independent product reviews from sources such as Reevoo and Which?. Make sure the content is viewable to Google so no iFrames people! Encourage user generated content by inviting users to leave reviews on your products. This method requires no extra time or effort other than moderation, as the customer writes the content for you! You may need to incentivise customers to leave reviews by giving them discount off their next orders or entering them into a prize draw. This alone however has its advantages as it increases the chances that a customer will return to the site. Add FAQ information within product page descriptions. Instead of linking to an FAQ page from a term in the product description, display it on the actual page with clever CSS so that Google can see it. List related products on the page, pulling through description snippets which will be unique to your site. We would love to hear your take on this update in the UK and also if you have been affected in the US. Please let us know what you think in the comments below. Comments & Discussion (15 Comments) Post a comment, your email will not be published, nor will it be harvested. Type your comment here... Wilber • Years ago This site really has all of the information and facts I wanted about this subject and didn't know who to ask. Reply Murrell • Years ago Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Many thanks Reply Antje • Years ago I do not even understand how I finished up here, however I assumed this publish was once good. I do not recognize who you might be but certainly you are going to a famous blogger in case you are not already. Cheers! Reply John • Years ago Excellent article, it is very difficult to write interesting unique articles for some markets. If a person dedicates time and effort into SEO there is going to be rich rewards later on, 1 change on a page on one of my sites took months for it to be picked up and so please remember it pays to be patient and any corrections to sites will take time to be picked up. Reply Yavo • Years ago Just curious when would people start spending time on creating enjoyable and quality sites rather than trying to crack Google algorithms.I am still at research point, but so far what I read is "fix the penalization with more internal links and php-printed RSS".As this is the 3rd blog sharing advices that are not really in-depth and do have questionable results it seemed about time for me to ask:Are you aware that the Farmer filter is designed to utilize machine learning algorithms??And to all the small-time webmasters, such as myself, out there - avoid wasting time on user generated content unless you have 100+ visitors per day.Furthermore technologies for scraping content of any kind will result in penalization, sooner or later.Better use this time to think on out of the box ways for coming up with fresh and original content OR at least a way to present your content.. attract a community, focus on on-page SEO and there you have it - a quality web site.Cheers,Yavop.s. Chris, I hope you did not find my tone disturbing or insulting in any way when mentioning the solutions suggested by you. All is intended as constructive criticism, but then again, I believe you are not in big need of advice :) Reply Sam May • Years ago @Kaloyan, I'll be very interested to see the results of your mini-experiment. Reply Kaloyan Banev • Years ago Sure Chris, I will let you know when the post is done. 1 month stats, only 150 links build, 100% dupe content, blog based on WordPress. Reply Chris Gedge • Years ago Sounds interesting Kaloyan. Keep us updated. Reply Kaloyan Banev • Years ago I hope many people are reading this, but next week I will bust one myth regarding duplicate content, Google rankings and Panda update. I will show a website, which is 100% based on duplicate content, I will publish snapshots from Google analytics, reference to copyscape and if anybody does not believe, I will invite them to share actually GA stats 84% of traffic is coming from Google! Reply Google Panda / Farmer update is live in the UK • Years ago [...] As of yesterday, April 11th at 12pm West Coast US time, Google officially announced the release of the Google Panda / Farmer update in all English ... [...] Reply Chris Gedge • Years ago Hi Rob. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about people stealing your content. Google however is clever enough to attribute the content to the original source by factors such as when it was first indexed etc. This means that the original source should always be treated as the one that ranks and duplicates will be filtered out (remember there is no duplicate content "penalty", only a filter). Reply Rob Ingram • Years ago Even if you do hire an editor to create unique content, if this does stay high on the organic searches it won't be long until peopel will copy it and then it will be the same old duplicate content again. What to do...keep changing it every time it gets used somehwere? Reply Richard Teahon • Years ago This is good advise. I particularly like the suggestion of user generated content to add a unique spin to the content. Reply Chris Gedge • Years ago Hi H. Agreed that the copy writing option isn't going to be possible for everyone's budgets, however encouraging user generated content is essentially free.Pulling in snippets from other sites will help to differentiate your site from the rest but I believe the real benefit will be from unique content that no one else has or can replicate. Reply rv • Years ago Hi Chris.Thanks for sharing. of course, having an editor is the best solution. Some might not be able to afford one. In that case, the big question is: Is G going to consider a mash up of snippets as unique content? Shouldn't aggregators like Testfreak have survived to the update if that was the case?Could you advice us on the most efficient length of the snippet you would recommend to grab from review site?Best,H Reply

After I've dated someone a while, I'll make a commitment. Not the kind most people make, but a simple, 6 month commitment.
Six months is long enough... there's stability, and comfort. We know we can make longer term plans... you know, beyond next weekend.
Of course there are bonuses.... lazy days spent in bed, touching, kissing and well, lots of touching because I love touching... I'm rather addicted to skin. --- the color, the scent, the feel of it.
After a couple six month commitments, I'll sign on for a year. And I'm there for that period of time. We renegotiate, extend the contract...
Or not. it has gone quiet, at a certain point, I'm not talking about my contract or commitment to you... because there isn't one.
Rather harsh? Rather practical? I know what my mother hopes I'll find....practical, dependable and forever.
But I want six months of bliss... followed by a few single year contracts... leading into a friendly break up... where we each find things we need.... in someone else. Is this model too callous? Too logical? I need something to protect me from the NRE...

Mr. Andersson was elected to the Electrolux Board at the AGM in 1998 and was appointed chairman.
"My work as chairman of Electrolux has been very stimulating, and by April 2004 I will have held this position for six years" said Mr. Andersson. During these years my own group of companies has grown substantially and requires more of my time."

Bangkok Children's Discovery Museum
A visit to this museum destroys all preconceived notions of a museum as a mothball-reeking, dead quiet place with 'do not touch' signs everywhere. Bangkok's Children Discovery Museum actually encourages a hands-on approach to learning. By presenting interactive displays, it calls on a 'discovery learning process', whereby children enter the experience and participate in the process of learning rather than remaining a passive (and bored) viewer – a perfect place for inquisitive young minds to figure things out for themselves, as well as for tinier tots just wanting to touch everything. This museum gets kids excited and encourages them to ask questions about how the world works. Figure out how it all fits together, by looking at the parts and experimenting – that's the idea. Fun in the science gallery includes creating your own giant bubble from inside. Try to understand the nature of illusion by entering a tunnel of mirrors. In the 'life' section, examine the processes of the mind and body – experiment with the human kinetic processes yourself and check out your heart rate by scaling an indoor bicycle. Now put your coordination skills to the test by hitting the button corresponding to each different action… This is education at its most fun!

The commander in chief's December 1 lecture at the U.S. Military Academy has to go down in history as one of the strangest presentations ever offered by a wartime president.
5 November, 2009 has become a date that will live in infamy. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly used a personally owned Fabrique Nationale Five-seveN handgun to shoot nearly four dozen of his fellow soldiers. 13 were dead, and at least 30 were wounded.
The investigation into the shooting at Fort Hood, allegedly carried out by Nidal Malik Hasan, is continuing. That said, a number of lessons are already emerging –lessons necessary to prevent the next such attack (or much worse).
We met with Lt. Col Ralph Peters, USA (Ret.), Fox news strategic analyst and New York Post columnist in Washington, D.C. for a face to face since some of his columns have been reprinted in Soldier of Fortune.
As an officer in the United States Army, I'm angry for so many reasons over what happened at Ft Hood. I'm angry that twelve of my fellow soldiers and a contractor were murdered. I'm angry that over thirty people have suffered life-altering injuries from which they will never fully recover. I'm angry that the lives of so many families have been forever ruined. I'm angry that this happened on an Army post on American soil where soldiers should be safe.
The Cold War years were the days of the mercs, of their wild and lawless adventures in Africa and across the globe in the proxy war playgrounds of the superpowers. In 2004, a legendary British merc who was heavily involved in African exploits during the Cold War attempted to recapture the excitement of those years. The clever, well-educated Simon Mann had captured the imagination of adventure seekers and had amassed fortunes through his exploits.
Companies such as Executive Outcomes (EO), and other private military companies (PMCs) that followed in our tracks, would never have been able to operate across the world if the international community and the UN in particular had taken decisive action in so-called trouble spots or flash points. Time and time again, the UN blue-helmeted peacekeeping forces proved themselves incapable of doing the job.
Does anyone recall a minor flap a few years ago when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) was giving away utility tools with the legend "Think Forfeiture." The story lasted for only a short while in a few magazines and was published on numerous web sites. The breadth, scope and cost of this gift program were never revealed, nor the intended purpose. The feature of the story, what got the attention of most people, was that ATF was thinking forfeiture.
In the history of American law enforcement, and certainly law enforcement in general, with the introduction of firearms, it was universally accepted to fire projectiles at suspects fleeing from authorities. This tradition continued for centuries. In the beginning, the fleeing consisted of beating feet, either one's own or those of a horse or other animal. Back then, in addition to different mores, there were fewer people and, of course, no automobiles.
I've always been a believer in shooting OPA—other people's ammo—whenever possible, especially in this day and age of ammo scarcity. (Thank you NoBama.)
Before the Senate Judiciary Committee on 18 November, 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder revealed a stunningly broad and aggressive anti-gun agenda.
