This article is part of "The complete guide to cricket field settings" series.
Being a better captain and bowler means mastering the art of setting the field. Chances are that you already know the names of the positions and you may have an idea of fields that suit certain bowlers and match situations. There is much more to it that that though. To fully understand what is going on you need to grasp the principles of field setting, and to do that we need to go right back to basics.
The 3 principles of field placing
1. Core Positions
There are 2 reasons to set a field: To take wickets and to stop runs being scored. Most bowlers bowl with the aim of hitting the stumps by straight, pitched up deliveries and decent batsmen will try and hit these types of deliveries through the famous 'V' using cover, straight and on drives. In this situation the fielders need to be in position to stop these shots (and edges). In other words, the V can be inverted to create a line of defence on each side of the wicket. This is the basic framework, or core positions from which to build:
Mid on and mid off stop the straight drives, third man and long leg are there to stop the edged ball, Extra cover and Midwicket stop the wider drives.
In theory then, these core 6 fielders (plus wicketkeeper) should be enough for a bowler to defend effectively if he bowls a good line and length. One important factor to note is that the fielders always form a straight line from one end of the pitch to another. If this does not happen (someone too close or deep) then the gap the batsman can see is bigger and more runs can be scored. So set fielders in the right place and don't let them wander.
This leaves you 3 spare fielders that you can set anywhere you like (attacking or defensive). However the core positions are just a framework from which to build. They ignore the many variations that makes cricket so interesting and setting the field so challenging.
2. Variations
Once you understand the core positions, you can start to work out the variations and start to work your brain. Variations that the core positions don't take into account:
- Match situation - Are you attacking or defending?
- Type of bowling - spinners, medium pace or fast bowlers?
- Pitch conditions
- Accuracy of bowling
- Swing and seam movement - more movement alters the angles the ball is coming to and from the bat
- Batter's limitations - All batsmen favour certain shots and ignore others.
With every variation, different positions are brought in or taken out of play. However, the basic principles still apply, and each change must be considered carefully with justification and not just chase the ball by putting fielders where the batter hits it.
For example, perhaps you are all out attacking with a fast bowler on a fast pitch with plenty of bounce. Your 3 spare would all be attacking (say, 2 slips and a gulley). As your aim is to get wickets you could forget about long leg and third man and move them to close catching, an extra slip and a leg slip or short leg.
If the batter plays with an open face you might consider cutting off his square shots with 2 gulleys or a square third man, especially if your bowler bowls outswing as a stock ball. The variations are never ending but always must have solid grounding.
I go into more detail on this aspect here. For now though, be aware that you have a framework to work from and flexibility to be creative depending on the situation.
3. Bluff
The final principle of setting a field is the ability to bluff. There will often be times where setting the best field may not be the best way of reaching your aims (wickets or run reduction) and this is where a poker face comes in handy.
Bluffing does not mean you should forget the first 2 principles, but once you have laid your plans you can double cross with a clever field placing that looks more sinister than it is. A classic example is an off spinner who does not turn the ball much setting 2 short legs and a wide slip. This could make the batter think it is turning and the slip getting lots of catches. The short legs are just the bluff.
Perhaps you have a weak fielder who you need to hide. Instead of just plonking him at mid on or fine leg, you could put him at silly point to an off spinner to crowd the batter. He may never catch a cold, but nothing will come to him anyway and at least he is putting the batsman off.
Again, there are many bluff strategies for many situations. However the same rules apply: Don't forget the basics and keep thinking. Also, never try your bluffs for too long. Most are rumbled quickly, especially if they get a wicket.
There will be more on captaincy, field placing and strategy soon, so subscribe for free updates and never miss a thing.

I work as a nanny. It is not a terribly well paying job, and as a college student every cent counts. Constantly I have these people calling me and emailing me about buying their "skinny fiber" or "green coffee bean extract" or trying the "ideal protein diet"....and I look at myself in the mirror and look at the baby I chase after and wonder if any of these quick fixes would make me look better, and have more energy to be constantly after the children, because right now coffee is all I have to energize me for these things. I have quit soda, and as a recently diagnosed coeliac I am still withdrawing from wheat and so much sugar. It is so hard to get up in the morning and face myself every day still, and that coffee always makes it ever so slightly easier. I have also drawn back on coffee from my constant giant frappacinos from starbucks to a k-cup or two a day with maybe a little sugar or honey and vanilla extract thrown in. Its a hard transition from a girl who lived on energy drinks and grilled cheese (like many college students) to eating only whole foods and black to slightly sweetened coffee. Its hard to not want to splurge on the skinny wraps or magical cures, with the promises that by christmas break in FL I could be wearing smaller sexier clothes and exposing more skin than I have ever been comfortable doing on the beach. Does anyone have any experience with such cures that promise you'll burn 10x more fat and have 1000x more energy and or you'll lose inches in 2 days? The only time I've ever heard of that working was in novels or ridiculous movies when the "plain jane" takes her glasses off and is suddenly a princess. Anyone have any ideas about increasing energy or advice about these expensive (like take an additional loan out Ms. College) fixes? As a logical woman I doubt them, but as a young woman who would love to look her best, I would try them all at once.
i could use another cup of that coffee now...even though I wish I had the energy without it.

According to a story in the Robesonian on Wednesday, highly-sought after and much-traveled football prospect Alfy Hill committed to UNC-Pembroke.
Hill, a former four-star recruit as a defensive end out of West Brunswick High School, was committed to play at South Carolina in 2013. He'd been playing at Los Angeles Valley Community College the past year. He'd been committed to South Carolina since March of 2012, and Hill had an official visit to the Gamecocks scheduled. According to the Robesonian's story, Hill changed his mind after an official visit to UNC-Pembroke Jan. 2.
After a standout career at West Brunswick, Hill signed and enrolled at Alabama before the NCAA ruled he was academically ineligible. Hill then enrolled at ECU and went to junior college in Mississippi and transferred to LAVCC.

Yesterday I blogged on the strange story of Dr. Sam Chang – the scientist who seems not to exist – who allegedly reported that junk DNA was "ET." Well, as I alluded to yesterday, the article swiftly made the rounds on the internet, becoming the basis for yet more wild ufological speculations, even making a brief appearance on the website of the late Zechariah Sitchin. Yet, as critics quickly poked holes in the story, it seemed to grow.
The story, to me, has all the hallmarks of a "dye the waters" sort of operation, a psychological operation designed to plant a "meme" in society – in this case, the "meme" of tying junk DNA to extraterrestrials – and then monitoring where that meme travels as it makes its way through the information-maze of the internet. Additionally, one of the hallmarks of such operations is to monitor the comments and information that is kicked loose because of it.
As the story grew, it was then revealed that Dr Francis Crick – yes, that's the Francis Crick of Watson & Crick who discovered the double-helix structure of DNA, thus providing the foundation for unraveling the genome of every species in existence, including the human – published in his 1981 book Life Itself that DNA might itself might be the result of extraterrestrial genetic engineering.
That raised the bar considerably; this was no non-existent scientist babbling unscientifically about junk DNA and extraterrestrials, this was the Nobel-prize winning decoder of the helix himself. For someone of his stature to weigh in on the matter – and to do so before there even was a Human Genome Project – does give one pause. If "they" were indeed looking for something of this nature, how might "they" go about doing it?
Well, for one thing, they would look at the ancient myths that talk about it, the Mayan and the Mesopotamia, for example. Those stories are fairly clear that the "divine" component was provided by the male donor and the human by a human female…in other words, they would look at the y-chromosome of males for one thing, and at old ones at that. But this process would be long and arduous, and highly speculative at that.
But this methodology implies something else about the Sam Chang hoax, and that is that other than a few posts by the ever-hysterical exopolitics crowd, there was no mention in the original story of any such things, either of the ancient myths nor of focused concentration on confirming them. We were left with a story with little scientific foundation, hovering in mid-air, making its rounds, being discussed and eventually denied, while elsewhere, geneticists were doing…. what exactly?
If you're like me, you sense a "smell" to this whole affair, a "paranormal bouquet" as Mulder once said in an early episode of the X-Files. Crick's comment is unsettling for precisely that reason, and he surely would have known, or at least heard of, those ancient stories. Watch them carefully.

District 225 considering new, better tech devices for future students
New technological devices may be on the horizon for students and teachers at Glenbrook High School District 225 in the 2014-15 school year.
District officials recently discussed buying more advanced, durable devices for its one-to-one technology initiative as well as altering protocol so that students eventually can own the devices they use.
Under the district's present technology initiative, which launched this school year, most students are not provided with an option to own their device.
"Students feel much more invested when they own the device than when it's something they have to (give) back," said Superintendent Michael Riggle at a recent board of education meeting.
He said district staff members recommend letting freshmen, sophomores and juniors own their Samsung ChromeBooks, which they got at the beginning of this school year, by the end of the district's two-year lease.
The Samsung ChromeBook, which lasts about two years, would be followed by new devices that provide touch-screen capabilities and can last four years and longer, according to officials.
"The administration is confident that a four-year business model is now possible and more cost-effective for families," said Kimberly Ptak, the district's director of operations and purchasing, in a March 10 memo to school board members.
District officials haven't selected a new device yet but showed a Lenovo Yoga model, which includes a touch-screen display, to the school board officials as an example of a device under consideration.
The cost of the new devices isn't clear, as some companies haven't placed final price tags on their devices, said Ryan Bretag, the district's director of instructional technology.
He said he estimates the cost for some of the new ChromeBooks to be between about $275 and $440. Last summer, the district spent $232 on each Samsung ChromeBook laptop when it purchased about 3,900 devices for the one-to-one initiative.
If the district shifts its technology model, parents would pay for the device and the district likely would pick up the tab for any filtering software and management consoles that need to be installed in order for devices to work properly in the school environment, Ptak said.
No matter which device the district ends up picking, Bretag said, he expects to remain with the Chrome OS, an operating system designed by Google.
"Our goal is to maintain the baseline," he said. "With every passing grade, there is always going to be minor enhancements and sometimes significant enhancements."
Bretag said the district is also looking into upgrading technology for teachers. About 36 teachers have been recently trying out several laptops, including Lenovo and Mac models, he said.
He said all teachers have favored the Lenovo Yoga model so far and are excited about the possibility of implementing touch-screen devices during their work.
"Right now, teachers are tied to the front of the classroom," Bretag said. "There would be a lot more mobility (with touch-screen devices)."
District officials hope to finalize their technology plans at future meetings.

text: Force India only 2012 option for Hulkenberg 21 September, 2011 Nico Hulkenberg Sep.21 (GMM) Force India is Nico Hulkenberg's only chance to return to the Formula 1 grid in 2012, but will have to wait until December before he learns his fate for next season. Last year he impressed as Williams rookie but had to settle for the reserve role at Force India in 2011, including the opportunity to practice on most Friday mornings. With current race lineup Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta also in the running for next season, team owner and boss Vijay Mallya has said he will not make a decision about 2012 until mid December. German Hulkenberg, 24, therefore said on Twitter this week that he is "not sure yet" if he will be able to call himself a F1 race driver once again next year. "I hope I can race with Force India but the team will decide not before December, so I must wait," he added. According to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, Hulkenberg must be hoping that his countryman Sutil cannot hold out until December and therefore decides to market his experience and personal sponsors Medion and Capri-Sonne elsewhere. Mallya's December deadline means that the options in his drivers' contracts will by then have expired, but Sutil manager Manfred Zimmermann insisted recently: "We still have our destiny in our own hands". 28-year-old Sutil has already visited Williams' Grove headquarters but Zimmermann insisted on Monday that Force India is the first choice. Auto Motor und Sport however said Sutil "has also been seen in the paddock in conversation with (Williams) team boss Adam Parr". For Hulkenberg, the only option is Silverstone based Force India. He told the German magazine: "Everyone from Renault down wants to see money (from its drivers)." He is referring not only to Renault and Williams but also F1's newest teams including Virgin and HRT.

gcc and patch ;)
I don't really much use 'security programs'; I'm more into transparent security. I use PaX and SSP, as noted in another post ( http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22604 ).
I guess because of PaX breaking things on x86, and having to remove PaX restrictions, I'll have to say. . .

Since yesterday a number of people have asked how to build web servers as described in the below post. Load Balancing with the IBM Smart Cloud tutorial
This is super simple and is achieved in 7 steps once again this will be based on using SUSE Linux but the method is transferable to all mainstream Linux distro's if you are using Windows look here. Using Apache HTTP Server on Microsoft Windows.
To start with download the latest version of the Apache Server at time of writing this was version 2.2 as 2.4 was still in beta
$wget http://apache.mirrors.timporter.net//httpd/httpd-2.2.22.tar.gz
Next we need to pen the correct ports on the firewall this is OS dependent. SUSE uses yast and to get the advanced function we require to run this as root via sudo
$sudo /sbin/yast
Open port 80 if you are going to use the standard web port for your website
Once you have open the ports extract the apache download the file comes tared and gun zipped use
$tar –zxvf httpd-2.2.22.tar.gz
If you need a simple way of referencing Linux commands then try this The One Page Linux Manual
Once this has extracted change directory to http-2.2.22/
Once in run
$sudo ./configure
This builds the Apache HTTPd source tree for your particular platform and personal requirements.
Now you can build the various parts which form the Apache HTTPd package by simply running the command:
$ make
Now install the server using
$sudo make install
Using sudo for this allows the installer to make directories and install files where idcuser doesn't have permissions.
once this has completed its then just a case of starting the webserver for this we need to be in /usr/local/apache2/bin/ in here you can find the script required to start the web server run
$sudo apachectl start
This is also the script required to restart once the server has changed such as updates to htdocs.
Now test the server open any web browser and point it at the IP address or DNS name of the server you have just installed apache on and you should see the below message.
If this doesn't work or times out 9 times out of 10 its an issue with the firewall so double check that port 80 is open.

Stream states
The ios_base class contains several state flags that are used to signal various conditions that may occur when using streams:
|Everything is okay
|Some kind of fatal error occurred (eg. the program tried read past the end of a file)
|The stream has reached the end of a file
|A non-fatal error occurred (eg. the user entered letters when the program was expecting an integer)
Although these flags live in ios_base, because ios is derived from ios_base and ios takes less typing than ios_base, they are generally accessed through ios (eg. as std::ios::failbit).
ios_base also provides a number of member functions in order to conveniently access these states:
|Member function
|Returns true if the goodbit is set (the stream is ok)
|Returns true if the badbit is set (a fatal error occurred)
|Returns true if the eofbit is set (the stream is at the end of a file)
|Returns true if the failbit is set (a non-fatal error occurred)
|Clears all flags and restores the stream to the goodbit state
|Clears all flags and sets the state flag passed in
|Returns the currently set flags
|Sets the state flag passed in
The most commonly dealt with bit is the failbit, which is set when the user enters invalid input. For example, consider the following program:
cout << "Enter your age: "; int nAge; cin >> nAge;
Note that this program is expecting the user to enter an integer. However, if the user enters non-numeric data, such as "Alex", cin will be unable to extract anything to nAge, and the failbit will be set.
If an error occurs and a stream is set to anything other than goodbit, further stream operations on that stream will be ignored. This condition can be cleared by calling the clear() function.
Input validation
Input validation is the process of checking whether the user input meets some set of criteria. Input validation can generally be broken down into two types: string and numeric.
With string validation, we accept all user input as a string, and then accept or reject that string depending on whether it is formatted appropriately. For example, if we ask the user to enter a telephone number, we may want to ensure the data they enter has ten digits. In most languages (especially scripting languages like Perl and PHP), this is done via regular expressions. However, C++ does not have built-in regular expression support (it's supposedly coming with the next revision of C++), so typically this is done by examining each character of the string to make sure it meets some criteria.
With numerical validation, we are typically concerned with making sure the number the user enters is within a particular range (eg. between 0 and 20). However, unlike with string validation, it's possible for the user to enter things that aren't numbers at all — and we need to handle these cases too.
To help us out, C++ provides a number of useful functions that we can use to determine whether specific characters are numbers or letters. The following functions live in the cctype header:
|Returns non-zero if the parameter is a letter or a digit
|Returns non-zero if the parameter is a letter
|Returns non-zero if the parameter is a control character
|Returns non-zero if the parameter is a digit
|Returns non-zero if the parameter is printable character that is not whitespace
|Returns non-zero if the parameter is printable character (including whitespace)
|Returns non-zero if the parameter is neither alphanumeric nor whitespace
|Returns non-zero if the parameter is whitespace
|Returns non-zero if the parameter is a hexadecimal digit (0-9, a-f, A-F)
String validation
Let's do a simple case of string validation by asking the user to enter their name. Our validation criteria will be that the user enters only alphabetic characters or spaces. If anything else is encountered, the input will be rejected.
When it comes to variable length inputs, the best way to validate strings (besides using a regular expression library) is to step through each character of the string and ensure it meets the validation criteria. That's exactly what we'll do here.
#include <cctype> #include <string> #include <iostream> using namespace std; while (1) { // Get user's name cout << "Enter your name: "; string strName; getline(cin, strName); // get the entire line, including spaces bool bRejected=false; // has strName been rejected? // Step through each character in the string until we either hit // the end of the string, or we rejected a character for (unsigned int nIndex=0; nIndex < strName.length() && !bRejected; nIndex++) { // If the current character is an alpha character, that's fine if (isalpha(strName[nIndex])) continue; // If it's a space, that's fine too if (strName[nIndex]==' ') continue; // Otherwise we're rejecting this input bRejected = true; } // If the input has been accepted, exit the while loop // otherwise we're going to loop again if (!bRejected) break; }
Note that this code isn't perfect: the user could say their name was "asf w jweo s di we ao" or some other bit of gibberish, or even worse, just a bunch of spaces. We could address this somewhat by refining our validation criteria to only accept strings that contain at least one character and at most one space.
Now let's take a look at another example where we are going to ask the user to enter their phone number. Unlike a user's name, which is variable-length and where the validation criteria are the same for every character, a phone number is a fixed length but the validation criteria differ depending on the position of the character. Consequently, we are going to take a different approach to validating our phone number input. In this case, we're going to write a function that will check the user's input against a predetermined template to see whether it matches. The template will work as follows:
A # will match any digit in the user input.
A @ will match any alphabetic character in the user input.
A _ will match any whitespace.
A ? will match anything.
Otherwise, the characters in the user input and the template must match exactly.
So, if we ask the function to match the template "(###) ###-####", that means we expect the user to enter a '(' character, three numbers, a ')' character, a space, three numbers, a dash, and four more numbers. If any of these things doesn't match, the input will be rejected.
Here is the code:
bool InputMatches(string strUserInput, string strTemplate) { if (strTemplate.length() != strUserInput.length()) return false; // Step through the user input to see if it matches for (unsigned int nIndex=0; nIndex < strTemplate.length(); nIndex++) { switch (strTemplate[nIndex]) { case '#': // match a digit if (!isdigit(strUserInput[nIndex])) return false; break; case '_': // match a whitespace if (!isspace(strUserInput[nIndex])) return false; break; case '@': // match a letter if (!isalpha(strUserInput[nIndex])) return false; break; case '?': // match anything break; default: // match the exact character if (strUserInput[nIndex] != strTemplate[nIndex]) return false; } } return true; } int main() { string strValue; while (1) { cout << "Enter a phone number (###) ###-####: "; getline(cin, strValue); // get the entire line, including spaces if (InputMatches(strValue, "(###) ###-####")) break; } cout << "You entered: " << strValue << endl; }
Using this function, we can force the user to match our specific format exactly. However, this function is still subject to several constraints: if #, @, _, and ? are valid characters in the user input, this function won't work, because those symbols have been given special meanings. Also, unlike with regular expressions, there is no template symbol that means "a variable number of characters can be entered". Thus, such a template could not be used to ensure the user enters two words separated by a whitespace, because it can not handle the fact that the words are of variable lengths. For such problems, the non-template approach is generally more appropriate.
Numeric validation
When dealing with numeric input, the obvious way to proceed is to use the extraction operator to extract input to a numeric type. By checking the failbit, we can then tell whether the user entered a number or not.
Let's try this approach:
int main() { int nAge; while (1) { cout << "Enter your age: "; cin >> nAge; if (cin.fail()) // no extraction took place { cin.clear(); // reset the state bits back to goodbit so we can use ignore() cin.ignore(1000, '\n'); // clear out the bad input from the stream continue; // try again } if (nAge <= 0) // make sure nAge is positive continue; break; } cout << "You entered: " << nAge << endl; }
If the user enters a number, cin.fail() will be false, and we will hit the break statement, exiting the loop. If the user enters input starting with a letter, cin.fail() will be true, and we will go into the conditional.
However, there's one more case we haven't tested for, and that's when the user enters a string that starts with numbers but then contains letters (eg. "34abcd56″). In this case, the starting numbers (34) will be extracted into nAge, the remainder of the string ("abcd56″) will be left in the input stream, and the failbit will NOT be set. This causes two potential problems:
1) If you want this to be valid input, you now have garbage in your stream.
2) If you don't want this to be valid input, it is not rejected (and you have garbage in your stream).
Let's fix the first problem. This is easy:
int main() { int nAge; while (1) { cout << "Enter your age: "; cin >> nAge; if (cin.fail()) // no extraction took place { cin.clear(); // reset the state bits back to goodbit so we can use ignore() cin.ignore(1000, '\n'); // clear out the bad input from the stream continue; // try again } cin.ignore(1000, '\n'); // clear out any additional input from the stream if (nAge <= 0) // make sure nAge is positive continue; break; } cout << "You entered: " << nAge << endl; }
If you don't want such input to be valid, we'll have to do a little extra work. Fortunately, the previous solution gets us half way there. We can use the gcount() function to determine how many characters were ignored. If our input was valid, gcount() should return 1 (the newline character that was discarded). If it returns more than 1, the user entered something that wasn't extracted properly, and we should ask them for new input. Here's an example of this:
int main() { int nAge; while (1) { cout << "Enter your age: "; cin >> nAge; if (cin.fail()) // no extraction took place { cin.clear(); // reset the state bits back to goodbit so we can use ignore() cin.ignore(1000, '\n'); // clear out the bad input from the stream continue; // try again } cin.ignore(1000, '\n'); // clear out any additional input from the stream if (cin.gcount() > 1) // if we cleared out more than one additional character continue; // we'll consider this input to be invalid if (nAge <= 0) // make sure nAge is positive continue; break; } cout << "You entered: " << nAge << endl; }
Numeric validation as a string
The above example was quite a bit of work simply to get a simple value! Another way to process numeric input is to read it in as a string, process it as a string, and if it passes the validation, convert it to a numeric type. The following program makes use of that methodology:
int main() { int nAge; while (1) { cout << "Enter your age: "; string strAge; cin >> strAge; // Check to make sure each character is a digit bool bValid = true; for (unsigned int nIndex=0; nIndex < strAge.length(); nIndex++) if (!isdigit(strAge[nIndex])) { bValid = false; break; } if (!bValid) continue; // At this point, we have something that can be converted to a number // So we'll use stringstream to do that conversion stringstream strStream; strStream << strAge; strStream >> nAge; if (nAge <= 0) // make sure nAge is positive continue; break; } cout << "You entered: " << nAge << endl; }
Whether this approach is more or less work than straight numeric extraction depends on your validation parameters and restrictions.
As you can see, doing input validation in C++ is a lot of work. Fortunately, many such tasks (eg. doing numeric validation as a string) can be easily turned into functions that can be reused in a wide variety of situations.

Airlines push aggressively for flyers to enroll in their frequent flyer programs, hoping that even a small percentage of them remain loyal in exchange for miles earned, usually to the tune of one award mile per mile flown.
For business and leisure travelers who spend significant portions of the year globetrotting, this quickly results in the accrual of tens of thousands of miles, which can be redeemed for free flights, upgrades and even fully-paid vacations. If you're a flyer of the not-so-frequent sort, however, a few hundred miles here or there might not seem like enough of a tradeoff for you to stick to the same airline.
The 5 Things You Should Know to Find Cheap Airfares
The secret is that reaping the full benefits of any airline's frequent flyer loyalty program almost never revolves completely around flying one airline, let alone frequently. Even better, flying free is only the beginning of the perks you'll enjoy once you learn the ropes of the frequent flyer game.
Airline Alliances
These days, most major airlines operate as members of larger airline alliances, so even if you only enroll in one airline's frequent flyer program, you can accrue miles on flights operated by sometimes dozens of other alliance members around the world. If you're a member of United's MileagePlus program, for example, you'll earn miles when you fly EgyptAir, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines and other members of the Star Alliance network of which United is a member.
How Airline Alliances are Changing the Face of Travel
Codeshare Agreements
In other instances, two airlines that are not part of the same airline alliance are part of a so-called codeshare agreement, which allows each to sell seats on the other's flights. In most cases, frequent flyers of either airline can also earn miles when they fly the other. Although Delta Air Lines, for instance, is a member of the SkyTeam alliance, you can earn Delta SkyMiles on flights from non-SkyTeam carriers such as Alaska Airlines, GOL Brazil and Malaysia Airlines.
Trains and Car Rentals
You don't even have to be flying to earn miles as you travel. If you travel by train in Germany using the Deutsche Bahn rail network, for example, you can earn miles in American Airlines' AAdvantage program between each Hauptbahnhof. Likewise, all major U.S. airlines allow you to accrue frequent flyer miles on selected cars and trucks rentals from companies like Alamo, Dollar, Enterprise and Hertz.
Credit Cards
The biggest detractor of signing up for an airline credit card is the annual fees banks assess for their use, usually around $100 per year. To smart travelers, this fee simply incentivizes frequent use of the card. Maximize rewards from an airline credit card by using the card to pay for a majority of your purchases, then pay the card off in full every month. That way, you avoid finance charges while you earn a mile for nearly every dollar you spend – potential tens of thousands of miles per year.
What is the Best Credit Card for Airline Miles?
Elite Status
The most immediate benefit of racking up frequent flyer miles is free travel in the form of award tickets, available for a certain number of miles. A lesser known perk is what's known as elite status, a special designation you earn after passing a certain flight mile threshold during a given calendar year. Whether you earn gold, silver or even platinum elite status, benefits include priority boarding and security, free checked bags, and even free first- and business class upgrades.

My progress toward this goal is small. I do not have time to play around anymore, I can only learn to use tools like Plone if I can use it for something I have to put on-line.
I started to translate Plone into my language Icelandic as it was up on Rosetta for a while but it has since then disappeared from Rosetta and my translation also. Very discouraging.
I still believe Plone is a great system but I guess I will not be able to devote my time to learning this system next year.

If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The Wanted's Max George Spotted Making Out with Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan is with the band! The troubled actress has been partying with the boy band The Wanted, after crushing hard on singer Max George.
Insiders report Lindsay attended their Jingle Ball concert in Philadelphia and was spotted making out with Max.
LiLo joined the band on their tour bus to Boston as Max's guest after their Philly show on December 5.
They checked into the Liberty Hotel together on the following day. "They looked like a couple," an eyewitness said. "When they got back from the Jingle Ball concert, Lindsay was all over Max. They were even making out at one point!"
The "Glad You Came" singers were in town to perform at the Kiss 108 Jingle Ball. After the concert, the British boyband returned to New York City for another party with the "Liz & Dick" actress.
They were reportedly spotted leaving PH-D at the Dream Downtown together just before 2:30 A.M. on Friday.
The Liz & Dick star tweeted The Wanted singer "missing something?" along with a photo of the hoodie he was spotted wearing when photographed the actress. Looks like someone had a little sleepover!
Lohan and George are remaining mum on a budding romance, but Lindsay's made it known she was interested in the singer.
Max George revealed that Lindsay "can party, like, nearly as hard as we can". We doubt that's a good thing with how things are looking for her lately.

Arkansas Unemployment Rate Unchanged at 7.5 Percent
by Lance Turner
Posted 12/20/2013 09:28 am
Updated 12 months ago
Arkansas' November unemployment rate was 7.5 percent, unchanged from October, according to a report from the state Department of Workforce Services.
The report shows the state's civilian labor force increased by 3,700, with 4,400 more employed and 700 fewer unemployed Arkansans.
During the same period, the U.S. jobless rate declined three-tenths of a percentage point, from 7.3 percent in October to 7 percent in November.
More: Download the complete report (PDF).
"The number of employed in Arkansas rose 4,400 in November, the first employment increase since May," DWS Communications Director Becky Heflin said. "Although employment rose and unemployment declined, the change was not enough to bring down the unemployment rate."
Arkansas' unemployment rate was 7.8 percent in November 2012. Year over year, Arkansas' job picture looks like this:
- Nonfarm payroll jobs increased by 13,500, with seven major industry sectors showing growth, five adding 1,000 or more jobs each, and four sectors reporting declines.
- Professional and business services reported the largest increase, up by 5,900 jobs with administrative and support services show a majority of the growth.
- Trade, transportation and utilities added 3,900 jobs with most of the increase in transportation, warehousing and utilities.
- Employment in educational and health services rose by 3,400 with health care and social assistance posting the majority of the gains.
- Jobs in construction rose by 2,500, which the report said "related in part to ongoing large projects throughout the state."
- Financial activities added 1,000 jobs, all in finance and insurance. The subsector includes activities such as commercial banking and insurance carriers.
- Employment in government decreased by 1,000, largely at the federal level.

Silver is considered a rarity which many people collect. It could be something simple, such as coins, or something sitting in your attic, such as flatware and jewelry.
What many find difficult is finding where to sell silver and locating a buyer who will help you gain an exponential profit.
Where to sell your silver?
The first answer that may come to your mind is your local pawn shop. Pawn shops can be conveniently found in every urban area.
Another option you may consider could be an antique shop; or, for silver in poor condition, you may look at selling to a neighborhood scrap store.
These simple options are available; however, they may not pay you the right price for your silver. They often lack the proper equipment to evaluate the worth of your silver items, failing to give you the best price for the silver you are selling.
Getting the best price for your silver
If you would like to earn the money you deserve for your silver, it is much better to sell to companies that specialize in buying, selling and trading silver.
At this point, you may be thinking that finding stores and comparing prices is tricky, even tiring.
I almost sold my silver coins at a near by pawn shop before doing so, I checked on-line to see if the amount offered was fair. The Silver and Gold Exchange paid me almost double. They answered all my questions, keep their promises and operate with integrity. – David V., Chino, CA
Sell your Silver
Silver and Gold Exchange follows professional procedure to assess your silver's authenticity and value. Additionally, Silver and Gold Exchange is Better Business Bureau A+ rated and holds a trustworthy record of integrity and efficiency.
During your journey to find where to sell your silver, don't forget to do some research.
To avoid receiving unreasonable offers and having your silver under-valued, you should know what you are selling. Research how much your item costs, on average, in the market and get feedback on the shop where you are planning to sell your silver.

I had 3 beers:
Alt-very nice, quaffable, smooth. I don't drink many Alts but this might change my mind.
IPA-high ABV, served a little cold for my tastes. Not highly hopped, no head, but very drinkable.
ESB-again, a little cold but good body and very flavorful. Nice beer.

Many truckload carriers are pumping money into driver recruitment and training programs and still say they're having trouble finding enough drivers. But the depth of the driver shortage may have a lot to do with a company's size and location.
In Milton, Pa., Ed Ferguson has more than 200 truck drivers on the road and a stack of resumes and letters from would-be drivers on his desk. The field operations manager for Watsontown Trucking, a 240-truck company, isn't feeling a shortage.
"We put ads in a lot of papers and we get a lot of phone calls," said Ferguson, who's been driving trucks since 1969. He heads out on the road for Watsontown, a truckload carrier that's been operating in Central Pennsylvania since 1941.
Watsontown may be based in Pennsylvania, but it hires drivers across the country, wherever it has business. "We're looking in Tyler, Texas, we're looking in Gillette, Wyoming," said Ferguson. "We just hired a couple of people out of York (Pa.)."
Sometimes it's better not to be the biggest company on the block. One reason Watsontown hasn't felt the sting of the so-called driver shortage as badly as many of its larger competitors is that it is not hiring thousands of drivers a year.
In 2005, back in the last period of high driver demand, smaller companies such as Watsontown often found it easier to get an adequate supply of drivers.
Watsontown hired about 50 truckers in the first half of 2011, Ferguson said, and has close to 240 drivers. None are idle. "We keep getting more freight," he said. The company has had to rent equipment on occasion to meet strong demand.
Pennsylvania is a prime trucking location, a gateway to the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. The Keystone State is home to more truckers than any state except Texas and California, according to 2010 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association pegs trucking as the state's fourth largest employer. The state has about 66,000 big rig drivers, according to the BLS, accounting for 4.5 percent of the nation's 1.5 million Class 8 truck drivers in 2010.
The biggest competition for truck drivers in Ferguson's part of the state comes from natural gas companies using hydraulic fracturing to get gas from the Marcellus shale. Those companies need drivers to haul water used in the "fracking" process.
"We've had guys leave here for those jobs and come back," he said. "When the gas companies need water for fracking, their drivers work non-stop. When they don't need that water, they're out of work. So the grass isn't always greener."

I felt this thread was best to post here, as a majority of my fast will be in a ketogenic state. Now my reasons for doing this fast do not include weight loss, it is mainly for experimentation with my body and also for detoxification purposes. This log is merely for those interested in the effects and results. I will be posting pictures everyday along with a short paragraph about my physical and mental state, along with other personal commentary.
Protocol and Other Information
First off, I have been eating ad libitum for one week with strength training and aerobics being done at the time. My last meal was at 11:30pm May 21.
I will be taking 3 supplements during my water fast. Oxyelite Pro (3 caps per day) mainly for the caffeine energy boost during my school hours, and Im sure the appetite suppression effects will help a bit. Lean Xtreme (3 caps daily) hope to suppress cortisol levels amap 1 upon waking, 1 4 hours later, and another 1 4 hours later Pre-WO. Reduction PM 2 caps before bed, I expect my sleeping patterns to be affected and am hoping this will at least give me some restful sleep, yes I have taken it before and experienced better sleep. Nothing else other than water will be consumed.
I will performing physical activity during my 10 day fast everyday. I will perform 2-4 compound exercises of only 1 set. This 1 set will be as intense as possible. This is for muscle retention purposes. Although I only expect to lose from .3-1lb of lbm without any physical activity at all, I believe this will keep it on the lower end. After this weight training I will perform 60min of either stationary cycling or I will walk outside keeping my heart rate in the 140-150bmp range. I also may do some easy BW work during the day if an overwhelming hunger pang surges or if I have a random surge of energy.
I will come off the fast slowly as I expect a reduced metabolic rate for up to 4 weeks. The first day off the fast will consist of 3 whey shakes + BCAAs, the second day off will consist of 6 whey shakes + BCAAS + Raw Vegetables, 3rd day a mix of small amounts of chicken breast, whey shakes, and raw vegetables (1000 cals). By the end of the first week I will transition to a PSMF of about 1100 calories (only 2 whey shakes a day), adding 200 calories every week for 3 weeks at which time I will reassess my dietary needs and plan. I will log the weeks following my fast.
I am currently 18 years old and 5' 11'
Deadlift: 315x4, 350x1
Box Squat: 210x5
Row: 145x7
Incline DB Bench: 75x8
Dip: 160 + 80x4
Pullup: 160 + 50x4
Military Press: 115x8
Closing Notes
I hope for some motivation in this thread as I have never fasted past 4 days before. I feel I will be put in the face of temptation many times and hope this log will help keep me strong. I would also like to say despite my age I do have a decent understanding of the human body and how it functions, and I have done much research on the human body in the fasted state. I have read countless texts and studies ranging from personal testimonials to college texts. Next fall I will begin college with a major in Biology (BS).
I will post my first log in the near afternoon, wish me luck. Start: May 22, 2010 12am

What will become of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (Bravo, Part 2 of reunion show airs Monday, 9 p.m. ET) now that cast members like Adrienne Maloof and (probably) Taylor Armstrong are departing? Ah, don't sweat it, RHOBH fans.
We'll still get to follow the adventures of those feuding sisters (Kyle and Kim Richards), that tabloid-baiting instigator (Brandi Glanville) and Lisa Vanderpump's extremely spoiled pooch (Giggy)! And naturally, new cast members are on the way, too. Last week's rumors speculated that Penny Lancaster (Rod Stewart's wife) and Dayna Devon (of TLC's Plastic Wives) would be joining the show. This week's rumor? How about a former soap actress with the most famous set of silicone-enhanced lips in the business? That's right: A recent tweet from Lisa Rinna implies that she's the latest 90210 resident being considered for a spot on the cast.
I am a Beverly Hills Housewife already- technically am I not?....#RHOBHbut am I a Real one...hmmmm— lisa rinna (@lisarinna) March 27, 2013
Rinna, 49, could be a good fit for the show, which isn't necessarily a compliment. Would you want to blend nicely into a series that exploits the petty disagreements of a group of outrageously self-involved ladies? But the former Days of Our Lives actress has accepted less classy opportunities to jump back in front of a TV camera. Most recently, she was a good sport when asked to sift through gelatin for money on NBC's All-Star Celebrity Apprentice.
Truth is, we know she's suitable for RHOBH, because she's done the camera-trailing thing before. In her short-lived, 2010 reality show, TV Land's Harry Loves Lisa, she and hubby Harry Hamlin gave the world six episodes' worth of inane conversations and insights into their trivial rich-people problems. See the clip below, in which she's having tea with her friends, comedian Ross Mathews (of Chelsea Lately) and TV host Lara Spencer (of Good Morning America and HGTV's Flea Market Flip).
Harry Loves Lisa
Get More: Harry Loves Lisa Full Episodes,Photos of Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna,Lisa Rinna,Harry Loves Lisa Official TV Show Website
So, yes. Rinna -- whose "type of camping is at The Four Seasons" -- fits the Housewives mold, and her famous husband is a definite bonus. The only other prerequisite for the job is an ability to stir up drama -- or at least take the bait when others do. Though Rinna seems to be a nice person, she's also done her share of behaving badly for cameras. (She did do a stint on Melrose Place, people.) Lisa, if RHOBH is your next embarrassing TV endeavor of choice, you have our blessing!

Union set to fight banks' job cutsPUBLISHED: 09 Jan 2012 16:36:41 | UPDATED: 11 Jan 2012 19:59:22PRINT EDITION: 10 Jan 2012
It would be unacceptable for the major banks to sack workers just to boost profits, the Finance Sector Union says.
Cost cutting and efficiency improvements have been identified by analysts and investors as the most likely drivers of profit growth for the big four banks in the current subdued economic environment.
Businesses and consumers are borrowing less because of economic uncertainty, while the banks' costs of funding are set to rise because of Europe's debt crisis.
"In our experience whenever they mention the word costs all they do is focus on the staff costs," FSU national secretary Leon Carter told AAP on Monday.
Westpac has to date been the most open of the big banks about prospective job cuts, with chief executive Gail Kelly saying late last year that staff numbers were likely to trend downward.
But the bank says it has no concrete plans to cut staff numbers, a stance similarly held by its rivals.
The FSU is concerned that staff numbers are set to be downsized, and will be seeking more information during its regular new year meetings with the banks.
"There is an added urgency this year because unfortunately, despite the capacity to do so, none of them have come out and said 'we won't be sacking Australians in 2012'," Mr Carter said.
"Instead, what they let go is the endless speculation that workers are going to lose their jobs."
The union has also urged the federal government to intervene if staff numbers begin to fall.
Taxpayers supported the banks through the global financial crisis, and the banks therefore have an obligation to their workers and the community, Mr Carter said.
ANZ, Commonwealth, National Australia Bank and Westpac collectively made $24.2 billion in cash profits during fiscal 2011, an increase of 11.5 per cent on a year earlier.
They employ over 177,000 staff, with the ANZ the biggest employer.

McMinnville man missing in Coos County
Aug 1, 2013
By Paul Daquilante
Of the News-Register
His family contacted McMinnville police July 25 after he failed to return from a trip to sell a motorcycle. They contacted the Coos County Sheriff's Office, which is handling the investigation.
Porter was last seen between 4 and 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 23, near Highway 101's intersection with North Bay Road. It's the site of an ATV rental business lying north of Coos Bay in the community of Hauser.
Where he went from there isn't known at this point.
"We're just not sure," said Sgt. Pat Downing. "We can't track him any further."
Porter attended McMinnville High School. Unemployed, he had been living at home, according to his father, Myron.
He received a text message from his son on July 23 that stated, "I arrived safely." He believes the sale was completed.
"Our main goal is the safe return of Zachary," his father said. "Beyond that, everything else is conjecture and second- and third-hand information.
"This is not like him at all. Never."
Porter is 6 feet tall, weighs 180 pounds with an olive complexion. He was wearing blue jeans and a dark-colored shirt with wording down one side of the front.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Coos County Sheriff's Office at 541-396-2016 or McMinnville police at 503-434-7307.
