The Art of Deception: A Second Opinion on Heroesby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
After reviewing yet another inane Heroes episode this week, I've received a few pats on the back for my honesty and courage - and a few insults hurled at my mother.
People really seem to take this historically-low rated, utterly nonsensical TV show seriously!
Because I feel an insecure need to defend my honor as a critic, and because I wish to give readers a second opinion, I've tracked down the most recent review from Entertainment Weekly, perhaps the most respected publication in the industry.
What did author Darren Franich think of "The Art of Deception?" Read his full take here and check out the excerpts below:
On Lydia's death: She might just be the most ridiculous character in Heroes history. Using her amazing powers of empathy, she spent the first half of this season as the show's umpteenth variation on premonition dreams and 9th Wonders!: She told Samuel what to do, and he would do it, not because it made dramatic sense but because that was what the tattoos told him he should do.
[Her] lack of emotion made her actions inexplicable and her character arc illegible. She kind of had the hots for amnesiac Sylar, or maybe it was all a ruse. She kind of didn't trust Samuel, but she never did anything to move against him.
On Peter's storyline: Peter saw Sylar rescuing Emma in his dream. Or anyways, he saw Sylar run into the Hall of Mirrors and say, "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you." He went to see his mom, who's still freakishly obsessed with Nathan even after death. She was agonizing over his headstone, and admiring a portrait of him. Adrian Pasdar grinned at us, as if to say, "Don't worry, kids, I'm in a better place: Not on Heroes.!"
On the carnival: Am I the only one who thought that the Carnival was supposed to be, like, the main plotline of this season? So little has really happened with the Carnival, and what little has is of no interest to anyone but people who live at the Carnival.
Samuel Sullivan wants to do something more than lurk around corners and hand out compasses to anyone who comes his way. Could this mean… viewers, could this mean that next week, something might actually happen?
On a sidenote: Does anyone have any idea how much time is passing in this season? Some storylines seem to crawl forward about one day at a time, while other stories seem to take week-long leaps. I like the idea that the entire action of this season has taken place over a particularly eventful fortnight. Remember Season One, when we knew exactly how far away we were from the Congressional election?
On Sylar's storyline: Sylar was visiting Parkman for two reasons, one of them stupid and one of them stupid. You would think that stupid plus stupid equals less stupid, but the equation of stupidity is more complex than that.
I should note that this episode may have actually been taking place in an alternate reality, since there are no basements in California. That fact took me two seconds to look up online, but as we all know, the Windowless Writers' Room at Heroes HQ doesn't get any internet.
Could it be that Peter and Sylar will have a showdown… inside Sylar's brain? That would be the coolest thing since never.
On Tracy: Also, Tracy Strauss made an appearance. This ends the Tracy Strauss portion of the recap. Check back here next week for more fun Tracy Strauss news!

Yeah I'll admit there have been quite a few mistakes over the previous few seasons but it's hardly been all bad. I think perhaps the biggest problem is the repeated cycle of trying to reset things 'back to normal' at the begining of each season. Of the unfortunatly few people who I know who watch the show their biggest caveat is they want the main characters to work togethor not spend the 1st three quaters of the season running around doing their own thing they need to break out of this cycle and volume 6 really gives them the oppertunity to do just that, I just hope they seize it.
i have been watching this for 4 years and i can't believe how god awful this season has become...the worst, its a shame, this show had talent then all it did was create a circus....horrible
I keep waiting for Peter to get his powers back. The worst thing they ever did was take away all of his powers. This season sucks and I keep watching out of habit and hoping it turns around. Just when I think it might go somewhere, the show does inane shit like having a trial in a diner.
Why don't you shut the fuck up, week after week you sit here and trash it...this is a sight that's supposed to be for people who like the show so why don't you hand it over to somebody else you miserable person. Seriously if you hate the show so much stop using this site as an excuse to watch it. Deep down inside you do still like it I bet. What you said about Peter makes no sense and if anything what I'd be upset about is how he should get his damn powers back. Samuel is one of the best characters on the show. Lidia though I wasn't a huge fan, did go against Samuel when she told hero what was going on, and tried to have claire rid samuel of their lives. I think the only reason you still review is so people will actually pay attention to you. You probably have no friends and no life and seeing people get angry over your posts is probably the highlight of your day and one more reason out of the very few to not kill yourself. Get a life you loser. Oh and by the way two things about the basement in California, 1. My uncle lives there and has a basement and two there are many winery's in california which in fact have basements you moron.
So I guess this person reviewing the show has brain damage or doesn't follow the story? You're missing the point! Arrgh! I do want another season, if only because it's pure escapism and there's nothing quite like it on television - the so-called nonsense is really quite fascinating, and stylistically, it's a brilliant show. The script is in dire need of fixing, but the talent is there - the plot is good, just need to fix the dialogue.
heroes is my fav. show, i've seen every episode. I'm still waiting for Peter's scar! WTF! Kring said he'd reveal how he gets it. WTF! I LOVE HEROES!
actually, though we can't compare this seasons with the previous ones, i think this hasn't been that bad... i love samuel's character, and the whole story around him, what i really didn't like, was that horrible girl gretchen, in previous episodes when claire and peter were talking about wes, i thought he'd came back to the show, and i was so excited but well... oh and killing nathan was a terrible mistake... but oh well... the thing is that you shouldn't be talking so bad about heroes, i actually think you're being sort of ridiculous, and i say this with all the possible respect.. but it's kinda lame for you to do that.
@ M.L. House : I knew that you would say yes! However I do agree with you on the changes. FYI I used to be like some of the people here I used to hate when you posted negative reviews about Heroes but I kind of thank you now for opening my eye and seem thing for what they are.
What's happened to Heroes is particularly sad, this once great show has now become a shambolic mess of Bush Administration proportions. The truth is, I had blind faith in Heroes for too long and I think we all love the potential of the show more than the actual. My faith has been tested on many occasions on this show (G@y Parkman, Peter hugging his dead dad with villains around, the whole Nathan dead thing, etc) but this last episode was the straw that broke the camel's back. The real kicker is how inept the writing and producing is on this show, for instance, we know that Sylar's inert power is to know how things work, so, if Parkman could indeed cure him, he could take his power (and before you shout that he's not a murderer, I would like to kindly remind you r-tards that Sylar said he could always take them empathically, he just like killing) and just do the power wiping himself? He would do it better cuz he would know how to weild the power better than Parkman. I know it's easy for us Net geeks to be over critical on every plot point and arc on tv shows, but the truth is, shows should never introduce a skill that can solve a problem, but then when the same problem occurs, not one character or plot point considers using the skill that worked before. This basically shows us that not one character has grown through the four series. Think of every character and they are still doing the same thing, wanting the same thing and reacting the same. Take a colossus such as Lost and I challenge you to argue to me that any character still on the show is the same as they were in the first series. You know why that is? It's because, like in real life, people grow and learn from their experiences. I don't give a damn how premonition in dreams shows you that Sylar says I'm here to save you, this is the same mofo that killed your bro, tried to kill your loved ones and you!! A smart person would take Sylar's power while he was unconcious and do it himself. All in all, this show is completey Lost in a bad way lol Rant over...
I used to like Heroes... loved season 1... this season sucks donkey poop. Plot sucks (or lack of one), characters stink, it seems all have regressed. This show is more aptly named FOOLS or IDIOTS than HEROES > Sylar is about the only one left that is decent and even he wanted out... I hope it end soon to put me out of my misery. Been a loyal fan and can't help but watch the end, each week I watch and each week I ask myself why do I do it? Maybe it's cause I like the pain...

Agriterra Ltd / Ticker: AGTA / Index: AIM / Sector: Agriculture
17 January 2013
Agriterra Ltd ('Agriterra' or 'the Group)
Mozambique Operations Update & Acquisition of Land Package
Agriterra Ltd, the AIM listed pan African agricultural company, is pleased to announce a further expansion to its multi-commodity agricultural product range and a positive update at its beef and maize operations in Mozambique.
· Diversification of portfolio and revenue stream through acquisition of a 2,500 hectare farm with a producing banana plantation, macadamia orchard and land capacity for cattle
· 50 acre banana plantation producing initial weekly yields of approximately 7 tonnes - production anticipated to increase significantly with development of plantation
· Macadamia orchard planted - commercial production targeted within 24 months
· Significant expansion of banana plantations, macadamia orchard, and cattle pasture planned to maximise revenue generation
· Farm located approximately 25km north of the Group's Mavonde Stud Ranch and irrigated by bordering Nyadzonya river
· Work underway to increase capacity at Mavonde Stud Ranch by 100% following purchase of adjoining 1,000 hectare farm
· 48 billion litre Mavonde dam now full with capacity to irrigate ranch for four years and support head to hectare growth - current stud breeding herd stands at 900 head and target to expand to 2,500 head by end 2013
· Strong initial trading at Chimoio beef retail unit - sales of $1,000 to $1,500 per day and increasing
· Second beef retail unit expected to commence trading in Tete by 31 January 2013
· Maize milling operations at Compagri operating near full capacity and generating improved revenues
Euan Kay, Agriterra Executive Director said, "The purchase of additional acreage in Mozambique provides a strong boost to our rapidly expanding beef operations, which are already producing significant revenues for the Group. Turnover will be further enhanced by our new retail units, where initial daily sales of up $1,500 have been reported from our first shop in Chimoio. In addition to this, Group revenues will be further bolstered and diversified by the acquisition of a producing banana plantation and macadamia orchard. With a strong development strategy in place to maximise the value potential of this new land, we are well set to enhance shareholder value and strengthen Agriterra's position as a pan-African agriculture business."

Agriterra Ltd is an AIM listed agricultural company with five divisions: beef, maize, cocoa, fruit and palm oil. Its cattle ranching business, Mozbife, has a herd in excess of 5,400 head, a land holding of over 21,000 hectares, a feedlot, a 4,000 head per month capacity abattoir and retail units. In addition to selling meat from its own herds, throughput for the feedlot and abattoir will be supplemented using cattle bought in from local communities. The Company also owns a proximal banana plantation and macadamia orchard.
The Company's maize buying and milling operations, DECA and Compagri, are located in Chimoio and Tete in central and north-western Mozambique respectively. These collect maize from circa 350,000 farmers using the Company's own vehicle fleet, process it into maize meal, the African staple, and then sell it back to the local market, into supermarkets and to the World Food Programme.
Agriterra's cocoa business is based in Sierra Leone, through its 100% subsidiary Tropical Farms Limited, which is currently a buying and trading operation, but provides an ideal conduit to branch out into cocoa production in West Africa. Its strategy is to establish itself as a secure, sustainable and traceable source of supply to meet the requirements of the major cocoa consumers who are placing increased emphasis in this area.
The Company has expanded its portfolio of agricultural products through the addition of palm oil, and holds a lease over approximately 45,000 hectares of brownfield agricultural land in an area suitable for palm oil production in the Pujehun District in the Southern Province of Sierra Leone. This area of Sierra Leone, which is close to the Liberian border, receives one the highest levels of rainfall in Sierra Leone, which in itself, receives some of the highest rainfall globally. In addition, the lease area is located on the equatorial belt, which is the most favourable geographical location for palm oil production.

HDC Allocation
For those seeking to sell their HDCs to the HDC Bank, the second step, after receiving an HDC Allocation from the Council, is to submit an application for a HDC Certificate to the HDC Bank for the Bank to potentially make an offer to purchase allocated HDCs.
The Council is currently revising its applications. Interested applicants should contact James Humphries for copies of applications and additional information (email@example.com).
HDC Certificate Process
Initial Purchase Program
The IPP was made possible by the appropriation of $10 million to the HDC Bank in September 2008 through Executive Order 114. Of that, $9 million was used to create IPP, with $1 million set aside by the NJ Department of the Treasury for debt service. Through five rounds of acquisition consideration, the HDC Bank authorized $8,905,300 in funding to acquire 555 HDCs from property owners, representing nearly 660 acres.
The bank is currently exploring options for future funding, while working toward the establishment of voluntary receiving zones that will support the private purchase of HDCs.
HDC Tracking Sheet & Registry
The Tracking Sheet below contains information regarding all HDC allocation requests and any resulting transactions to-date. The Registry below summarizes all closed transactions.

[ Editor's Note: The following interview is reprinted from George Colligan's blog, Jazztruth]The name Jack DeJohnette is synonymous with modern jazz drumming. Many know him for his years spent with the Keith Jarrett Trio, but he first came to prominence with Charles Lloyd and Miles Davis in the '60s. He's always in demand as a sideman-- although you wouldn't call Jack DeJohnette to merely be a sideman--his musical contribution to any project is such that he is always a collaborator. He has many albums as a leader; his most recent release is Live at Yoshi's (Golden Beams, 2010) ...read more

It's been four years since a recorded peep has been heard from pianist Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio, despite continuing to perform a few select dates each year. But even its last few ECM releases--2009's Yesterdays, 2007's My Foolish Heart and 2004's The Out-of-Towners--were all culled from a clearly fruitful 2001, making it well over a decade since a new recorded note has been heard from Jarrett's longest-lasting group. Fine albums all, the dearth of anything since that time has nevertheless begged the question, even amongst some of his most ardent fans, as to whether this undeniably fine trio had anything ...read more
With drummer/keyboardist Jack DeJohnette entering his eighth decade on planet earth, he's managed to accomplish what few other drummers have. Recipient of the 2012 NEA Jazz Masters Award, there are few jazz drummer s alive today who can cite as many recordings as the Chicago-born DeJohnette can, nor are there many who have been on such a diverse stylistic cross-section. DeJohnette, now a legend himself, was picked up by a large number of then-high profile musicians in the early days of his career, artists like trumpeters Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard, keyboardists Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans and Joe ...read more

DeJohnette brought two friends--pianist Chick Corea and bassist Stanley Clarke--to add to the festivities. Shortly before they made their appearance, Clarke's bass was brought out onstage. People hushed and nearby someone said, It's starting." A few minutes later, stepping through the curtains that formed the backdrop, DeJohnette, Clarke, and Corea mounted the stage. The ...read more
Drummer/pianist/composer/bandleader Jack DeJohnette turns seventy this year, and his longevity on the scene is only eclipsed by the astonishing variety of settings in which he's worked. Since emerging from his hometown Chicago, the ubiquitous drummer has played with important artists including saxophonist Charles Lloyd, trumpeter Miles Davis and pianists Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett (with whom he still works today). And then there are his wonderfully eclectic Special Edition groups--always on the cutting edge. Although anyone could hear his crisp technique, what makes DeJohnette such a powerful and profound drummer is his telepathic ability to find the right groove--the vital ...read more
For drummer Jack DeJohnette's second project on his fledgling Golden Beams Productions record label, he moves from the Asian subcontinent south to Africa for a series of duets with master Gambian kora player Foday Musa Suso. While Music from the Hearts of the Masters is, in its own way, as hypnotic as DeJohnette's first release on his label, the meditative Music in the Key of OM, it's also more actively engaging and extroverted. At first glance the conventional drum kit and the 21-string lute/harp-like kora would appear to make strange bedfellows, especially given that, for the most ...read more

Mobile marketing products company 2ergo Americas has come out with a Facebook plug-in for its Swift mobile Web site publishing tool.
Targeted at both marketing folks and consumers, Swift lets you create full-featured mobile sites in minutes, complete with text, images, feeds, video and other multimedia features and functions.
According to 2ergo Americas managing director Guy Vidra, the new application "takes the notion of Swift and applies it to a Facebook profile." Facebook's own mobile offering pretty much just lets you upload content from your phone to update your online profile. 2ergo's Swift Facebook extension, however, "goes many steps further" to enable a "true standalone mobile profile," Vidra said.
To read more about the Swift Facebook app, click continued.
The new Swift application plugs into a Facebook profile. Once it's installed, you can pick and choose the portions you want on your mobile Facebook profile and even make them more "mobile friendly" by changing various aspects, such as the images or fonts. You then have a mobile Facebook profile that you can update directly on your phone.
Much of the information that you change or add on the mobile or PC profile is automatically updated on the other version. Vidra said that the decision about which portions are automatically updated from one version to the other was made based on what makes the most sense for mobile.
In addition to its Swift mobile Web site builder, 2ergo Americas also offers a self-service messaging tool called Via that lets clients create and track SMS campaigns. With Via, media brands, advertisers, retailers and local businesses can quickly build cost-effective campaigns featuring SMS-based alerts, auto-responders, polls, trivia and sweepstakes, all of which run on the company's carrier-grade message delivery platform.
Although both Swift and Via are new, the company isn't. Until a couple months ago, 2ergo Americas was known as Proteus, a wireless application developer that's been around since the late 1990s. In 2006, it was acquired by a British mobile marketing, business and entertainment solutions provider called 2ergo. After the acquisition, Proteus switched its strategy to a clear focus on products.

Green Infra Ltd., which acquired BP Plc (BP/)'s India wind farms in 2009, has "looked at" projects that real-estate developer DLF Ltd. (DLFU) is trying to sell, Green Infra's chief operating officer said.
"DLF's wind assets have been in the market," Sunil Jain said today in an interview in Chennai. "We have looked at them." He declined to say whether Green Infra, which is backed by IDFC Private Equity, planned to make an offer.
Gurgaon-based DLF didn't respond to an e-mail and phone call requesting comment on whether it plans to sell its 229 megawatts of wind capacity.
DLF, India's largest property developer, wants to sell off the wind farms, which aren't strategic to its main business, to reduce debt, Mint reported last month, citing people it didn't identify.

A look at Netflix since stock plunged from peak
Feb. 21: As part of an effort to offer more exclusive material, Netflix locks up the right to show "The Artist" and other movies from The Weinstein Co. before the films are released to leading pay-TV channels such as Showtime and HBO. On the same day the multiyear deal is announced, Comcast Corp. announces plans to undercut Netflix with a less expensive version of a service that will stream old TV series and movies to devices with high-speed Internet connections.
April 23: Netflix says it suffered its first quarterly loss in seven years as it dealt with rising licensing fees and the bill for an international expansion. The first-quarter setback, however, was far smaller than analysts expected. In another encouraging sign, the company's subscriber growth accelerated during the first three months of the year, further evidence that the company is recovering from the price-hike backlash.
July 3: Netflix announces that subscribers watched more than 1 billion hours of online video in June, an indication that streaming video is getting more popular.
July 12: One-year anniversary of price-hike announcement. Subscriber growth has returned, but even after a recent rally, Netflix stock remains more than 70 percent below its peak price of nearly $305 about a year ago.
Aug. 15: Netflix announces that its international expansion will continue with a rollout in four Nordic countries - Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Service became available in mid-October.
Oct. 31: Activist investor Carl Icahn discloses he has used some of his $14 billion fortune to accumulate a 10 percent stake in Netflix.
Nov. 5: Netflix moves to protect itself against hostile takeovers by adopting a shareholder rights plan, also known as a poison pill. Such a plan is designed to make it difficult or even impossible for someone to take over the company without an agreement from the board. Netflix says the provision is triggered if a person or group acquires 10 percent of Netflix, or 20 percent in the case of institutional investors, in a deal not approved by the board.
Dec. 4: Netflix announces that its video subscription service has trumped pay-TV channels and grabbed the rights to show Disney movies shortly after they finish their runs in theaters. Netflix's streaming service will have exclusive U.S. rights to offer Disney's first-run movies during the period normally reserved for premium TV network such as HBO, Starz and Showtime. It will start after Disney's current deal with Starz ends in 2015.
Jan. 23, 2013: Netflix surprises investors by reporting a fourth-quarter profit as it warded off stiffer competition to add 2 million U.S. subscribers during the final three months of 2012.

The Crack Den is just a small little apartment over in idlewood. The crack den is seen in the mission Cleaning The Hood. Sadly it is consider inaccsesible to the player and only remains there for that mission. Although it still can be accsesible thru the Hidden Interior Universe. it's got several rooms, the main room is the living room with the floor being really messy, there is a kitchen on the right, and the rest is bedrooms. During the mission Ryder said that "who eee you smell a crack den a mile away" thus indicating alot of smoking goes on in there. The crack den is Ballas Territory.

Several times I've had this problem on a Windows 2000 Server, if any1 has any idea as to what causes it or how to fix it, that'd be gr8.
Basically when i right click the file in question and click properties, all tabs except the 'General' tab is missing. This stops me from deleting the file! I read somewhere its due to something to do with files being moved from FAT16/32 or something, but this has happened with pupils work and its stopped me from moving the homefolders to another server... since these files cant be accessed.

About Me Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Works best if you do not over wet the swab.A great product but expensive as is every other sensor cleaning item!

Good product
By Ady the Pro
from Nottingham
Good product but don't over do the cleaning solution, otherwise you will end up with more marks on the sensor than when you started!
Perfect for dust removal
By DMC
from Manchester
Does what its supposed to do - gentle yet powerful enough to remove dust from camera chamber and from the surface of the sensor. Succeeded in removing a stubborn spec from a 5Dii in no time. I have another more powerful blower for camera exteria and lenses.

Oh my goodness, do I have tarragon this year. It has exploded into what I would call a bush of tarragon.
That is okay though because it makes me really feel like a good gardener, even though I'm not. I am just lucky.
Would you believe that I have plants finally coming up that I planted a couple of years ago and thought they were dead? I guess with all of this rain, they finally decided to raise their lovely heads. It is so amazing. I truly feel blessed.

Travelocity Owner Sabre Holdings Returns to Wall Street After IPO
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Though Sabre Holdings (SABR) priced its initial public offering below what it expected, that's not worrying CFO Rick Simonson, who's looking to the long haul for the technology provider to the global travel and tourism industry.
In an interview with TheStreet, Simonson said that despite the broader market's volatility, he and Texas-based Sabre Holdings were pleased with the initial public offering, which priced 39.2 million shares at $16 a share. That's down from the initial range the company provided in its S-1 filing, when it expected to sell 44.7 million shares at a range of $18 to $20.
Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, BofA Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank acted as joint book runners for the offering.
"There's strong demand for the IPO," Simonson said over the phone. "I look to the long haul, and we're looking to build value from here."
Sabre, best known for its Travelocity travel site, is one of the leading technology companies to the whole travel industry, being in the travel network business. "We sit between suppliers and the suppliers of travel. Our marketplace is bigger than what goes between Amazon (AMZN) and eBay (EBAY). We have a leading position there -- we love that business and our position in it," Simonson stated.
Sabre is making its return to the public markets, after having been taken private by TPG Capital and Silver Lake Partners in 2007 for about $5 billion, including debt. Simonson noted that the company, which still has about $3.6 billion in gross debt, will use the net proceeds from the offering to help pay down the debt. "We had a 4.4 times leverage ratio at the end of the last year. With the IPO, that will come down to 3.5 times leverage," Simonson said. Somewhat unusual for a tech company going public, Sabre is going to pay a 9-cent per share dividend, a fact Simonson attests to the company's strong balance sheet. "We can start life with a dividend, a healthy dividend because we have a balanced capital structure," the CFO said. In addition to going public, Sabre announced three new products -- Customer Experience Manager, Guest Connect Upsell and TripCase Corporate -- "to help travel companies design and offer a more personalized shopping and travel experiences for travelers." -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

The re-launch Mytouch with the 3.5 headphone jack will be able to support it.
T-Mobile myTouch 3G is also on the Android 2.1 bandwagon

We absolutely love dinner at Palo, and feel it is definitely a must do on our cruises. Since you will be on the Dream, try and book Palo for the night you will repeat in one of the three dining rooms. If I remember correctly, you will repeat the same dining room on nights 3 and 4, with night 3 being Pirate Night. If that isn't a good option (i.e. you do not want to miss Pirate Night along with wanting to dine together as a family on your last night of the cruise), then I would skip either Enchanted Garden or Royal Palace, as I think your children would love Animator's Palate (although if one of them has sensory issues, AP might be overdo for them since it is quite loud in there...in that case, you may decide that is best dining room for your family to miss). Of course, you will not know your rotation prior to your cruise, but you can always call DCL and request a certain rotation (AP/EG/RP/RP or RP/AP/EG/EG or EG/RP/AP/AP). Not a guarantee, but they will try to honor your request. And if the rotation ends up not working out with your plans, you can try and change Palo dinner after you board the ship.
Now, if you do decide to have dinner at Palo your children still have a few options for dinner that evening. First, they can eat in the dining room alone. Just let your servers know ahead of time, and they will tend to them! There are also a few other food options on the ship. Cabanas buffet will be open on certain nights of your sailing. If it happens to be open on your Palo night, you can take your kids to eat there before your dinner. Also, room service is available 24 hours...they can enjoy a fun in-room dinner before heading off to the clubs, while you head off to Palo. Lastly, they can get a bite from Flo's where you will find burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, salad, pizza, and the like.
Hope this helps!

Cleveland Rocks! Thanks to Limited Edition Ford Shelby GT Standard Stratocaster
Being a native Clevelander, I hop on the chance to celebrate my city because, honestly, there's usually not much to celebrate (our river caught on fire, for Pete's sake!). But hey, we've got LeBron James, make a mean pierogi and, of course, are home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We're also home to some very important Ford production plants, mainly the Cleveland Engine Plant in Brookpark that builds the Duratec 3.0L V6 and the Lima Engine Plant that builds the new 3.5L V6.
That being the case, Ford used the Cleveland International Auto Show today to announce a special partnership with Fender guitars to produce two special limited edition guitars. The first is the Limited Edition Ford Shelby GT Standard Stratocaster, obviously inspired by the Ford Shelby GT. The first one of 200 that will be made has been signed by Carroll Shelby himself and is being donated to the GuitarMania fundraiser that benefits the Cleveland United Way and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame education fund. Ford will also sponsor two giant 9-foot Stratocasters customized by Blue Oval designers for the event.
No word on price or what the second guitar will be, but you can purchase one of the 200 Shelby GT guitars starting March 1st through the Ford Collection.
[Source: Ford]
Ford donates first model in limited-edition 200 Fender Stratocaster guitars to United Way of Cleveland's GuitarMania.
- Ford donates one-of-a-kind Fender® Stratocaster® guitar autographed by racing great Carroll Shelby to GuitarMania® fundraiser in support of Greater Cleveland United Way and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame education fund.
- Ford partners with Fender Guitars to offer two customized guitars through the Ford Collection.
- Ford to sponsor two 9-foot Fender Stratocaster® guitars, customized by the company's own designers, at this year's GuitarMania.
Cleveland, Feb. 23, 2007 - Celebrating fast cars and rock and roll, Ford is turning up the volume at the Cleveland Auto Show by showcasing its hot new product lineup and revving up for GuitarMania®. The company is donating the first Limited Edition Ford Shelby GT Standard Stratocaster® guitar in support of this annual charity event to benefit the Greater Cleveland United Way and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's education fund.
"For some of our most successful, high quality products, it all starts in Cleveland with the Duratec engines built here," said Randy Ortiz, General Sales Manager, Ford, Lincoln and Mercury. "I can't think of a better way to celebrate the spirit of this city and give back to the community than to be a part of GuitarMania."
Buckeye Connection Key to Ford's Winning Formula
With nearly one third of Ford's North American engines and transmissions built in Ohio, the Buckeye State is playing a pivotal role in the success of Ford's latest hit products. Ford's Duratec 35 V-6 engine, built at the company's Lima ( Ohio) Engine Plant, powers the all-new Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers, as well as the Lincoln MKZ luxury sedan. The new 2008 Ford Taurus, Taurus X and Mercury Sable will be the next success stories to feature this award-winning engine. By the end of the decade, one in every five Ford vehicles will be powered by this engine.
The Duratec 30 V-6 engine built at the company's Cleveland Engine Plant in Brook Park, Ohio, is the driving force behind some of Ford's most critically acclaimed vehicles – including the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan mid-size sedans. It's also under the hood of the Ford Escape – which has sold more than a million units – and the Mercury Mariner, the compact SUVs that is attracting more new customers to the company as a percentage than any other product except Mustang.
In addition, Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake is home to the Ford E-Series van, the perennial best-seller that is celebrating 25 years of sales leadership. Ford's presence in Ohio includes 12,000 employees working at 10 plants, more than 25,000 retirees and 215 dealers.
Blue Oval and Cleveland Rock
Ford's support of GuitarMania is the latest example of its continued commitment to supporting the United Way. In 2006, Ford Motor Company pledged more than $16 million to United Way nationally.
GuitarMania ( http://www.cleveland.com/guitarmania ) is a greater Cleveland community public art project that has raised more than $1.5 million for its two benefiting charities – United Way
of Greater Cleveland and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's education fund. Through its participation in GuitarMania and the donation of the unique Stratocaster guitar, the company is working to increase support for United Way contributions in Cleveland.
The GuitarMania project consists of oversized Stratocaster guitars that are creatively transformed into works of art by local artists and national celebrities and displayed on the city streets of Cleveland for residents and visitors to enjoy June through November 2007. In addition to donating a unique Stratocaster to GuitarMania, Ford will sponsor two larger-than-life guitars customized by the company's designers to benefit this event.
The Stratocaster is one of two Fender® guitars that will be available through the Ford Collection (www.fordcollection.com) beginning March 1, 2007. The Limited Edition Ford Shelby GT Standard Stratocaster guitar is inspired by the custom instrument that was sold with the first production 2007 Ford Shelby GT Mustang at Barrett-Jackson® for a whopping $600,000 – all donated to the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation. The first of these 200 limited-edition guitars will be signed by Carroll Shelby and donated to GuitarMania. Each one is individually numbered on the neck plate.
The Ford Collection also will offer the Fender Sonoran™ dreadnought acoustic guitar, crafted from a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. It features Venetian cutaway, exclusive blue-burst finish, Fender electronics, Stratocaster headstock and die-cast tuners and pickup.
These distinctive instruments will be on display at the Cleveland Auto Show alongside the hot Ford Shelby GT and other new Ford, Lincoln and Mercury products. Consumers can see the custom guitars and Ford Motor Company vehicles on the show floor beginning Feb. 24, 2007.

Review of Yoobao Thunder 13000 mAh external battery w/pics!!!
Friday 10th of May 2013
This is a review of genuine Yoobao Thunder 13000 mAh external battery: Yoobao YB 651 Thunder 13000mah Power Bank - kevikevdottcom With so many reviews behind my belt, this is a first time I'm specifically referring to a product as "genuine". Here is a reason why. Yoobao is a popular Chinese manufacturer specializing in cases and batteries, but it's not that well known in the States because there are only 2 US dealers with www.kevikev.com being the only one verified by Yoobao (I actually checked that on Yoobao website). I came across HK products that look identical to these, but was informed by their sellers those weren't real Yoobao, only lookalike. That obviously turned me away, until I got an opportunity to review the real Yoobao product with samples provided to me directly from kevikev online store. External batteries continue to push their capacity while maintaining small footprint. This Thunder model goes all the way up to 13000 mAh with a dimensions of approximately 136 mm x 74 mm x 28 mm. Higher capacity also means more battery cells and increased weight, which in ca

Review of NewTrent NT70T EasyPack 7000 mAh external battery w/pics!!!

This is a review of NewTrent NT70T EasyPack 7000 mAh external battery charger: New Trent NT70T Easypak - 7000mAh iphone battery extender and ipad external battery pack iPhone charger | NewTrent.com Here is another great product I discovered that will definitely benefit Note 2 users who are sticking with a regular size battery and their favorite case and need backup power on the go. This particular unit has a very portable footprint and it's relative slim with dimension of 119mm x 74mm x 18mm (4.7" x 2.9" x 0.7"). It's also pretty lightweight for 7000 mAh capacity, at 6.8 oz (193 g). It's definitely very comfortable and pocket/purse friendly. As a matter of fact, this unit is actually intended to be used on the go where you don't even have to worry about power cables since it has built in full usb cable for Input charging (a fast 5V, 1A port) and also micro-usb cable for one of the Output charging ports (5V, 1A). In addition to 1A output port with micro-usb cable, it also provides 2 additional usb ports with 2.1A and 1A outputs. These got you covered for any smart phone

Review of NewTrent NT120C CarbonPak 12000 mAh external battery w/pics!!
Sunday 16th of June 2013
This is a review of NewTrent NT120C CarbonPak 12000 mAh external battery: New Trent CarbonPak NT120C, iPhone External Portable battery. Android Portable External Battery, Tablet iPad Battery | NewTrent.com High capacity external batteries are becoming very common these days, more affordable, and smaller in size thanks to evolution of battery cell technology. What is great, and speaking from a personal experience, they can be used as little power hot spots when you need to charge up your device on a go and nowhere near the power outlet. Or another use I found, whenever I'm using my android on-a-stick connected to tv - I no longer need to run power wire from outlet, just connect external battery and that's it. I decided to review the new NT120C model because it offers all these benefits at a very affordable price. Measured at 258g (9.1oz) it's not the lightest, thus not exactly very pocket friendly. But it has small dimensions of about 110mm x 75mm x 20mm which is very impressive for 12000 mAh capacity external battery. The top and bottom finish of the battery is piano glossy, but don'

Sunday 28th of July 2013
This is a review of Anker Astro 3 (new 2nd gen) 12000 mAh external battery: Anker 2nd Generation Astro 3 12000mAh External Battery Yes, another external battery. No, this one is like nothing I have ever tested from Anker or anybody else. It's not a surprise Anker became one of my favorite companies to review new products from because they are constantly introducing something new and/or improved. That is the only way to stay on top of the game and to earn the top rating of your customers. First of all, even with it's 12000 mAh capacity, this new 2nd gen Astro shrank up in size down to 110 mm x 83 mm x 26 mm which fits very comfortably and feels very nice with its soft touch rubbery finish in your hand. At close to 10 oz in weight you will feel it for sure in your pocket, although it's slick design is very portable and with included mesh pouch is easy to carry around in your bag/purse/backpack or even pants pocket, as long as you are not wearing skinny jeans In contrast to most of the today's external batteries with dual output, Astro 3 comes with 3 independent full size usb outputs t

This is a review of Anker Astro Slim3 6000 mAh external battery: Anker Astro Slim3 6000mAh Portable External Battery and Anker Multi-angle stand: Anker Multi-Angle Stand for Tablets, E-readers and Smartphones It has been awhile since I posted a review in Nexus 7 section of the forum since Note 2 is my homebase. But considering extremely thin design of this external battery slice and a tablet stand - this makes it a perfect companion for N7. Of course, battery is universal and stand can be used with a tablet or a smartphone. I have been a huge fan of Anker external batteries, reviewed a lot of their products, and always impressed with a quality and 18-months warranty. Another great thing about these - constant refresh with updated design and increased capacity. Battery cells are slimming down, efficiency of capacity improving, and I'm glad Anker keeps up with all these changes.. Slim line is very unique since it offers one of the thinnest available external batteries with a built in usb cable/connector and a very decent capacity! In comparison to Slim2, this one increased a little bit

Review of Anker Astro2 (2nd gen) 9000 mAh external battery w/pics!!!
Wednesday 28th of August 2013
This is a review of Anker Astro2 (2nd generation) 9000 mAh external battery: Anker 2nd Gen. Astro2 9000mAh Portable Double-USB Port External Battery Charger Just a short while ago Anker introduced their next gen Astro3 battery. Following it's footsteps now comes next gen of Astro2 with all new design details introduced in Astro3 but in scaled down version of it. Some might argue it has a reduced capacity and one less charging usb port in comparison to Astro3, while the price difference is not that significant. So why would someone choose one over the other? Let's find out. First of all, I'm glad to see how Anker switched to all new packaging across all of their latest products, using environmentally safe recycled material and minimum amount of plastic. The battery itself uses a nice soft touch rubbery material that will not leave any fingerprints and gives you non-slippery grip. The shape of the battery has rounded off edges and is very comfortable to hold. With my measured dimensions of 105mm x 60mm x 23mm and reduced weight down to 7.7 oz (218 g) - this battery is relatively light

Review of Anker 2nd gen Astro 6000 mAh external battery w/lots of pics!!!
Thursday 17th of October 2013
This is a review of Anker 2nd generation Astro 6000 mAh external battery. Anker 2nd Generation Astro 6000mAh Portable External Battery Charger After rolling out new 2nd generation versions of Astro 3 (3 outputs) and Astro 2 (2 outputs), now is a turn for Astro with a single charging output. While Astro 3 was very impressive with three outputs and 12000 mAh capacity, it was a relatively large and heavy device, which is expected. Astro 2 shrunk it down to 2 outputs and 9000 mAh capacity with a more pocket friendly footprint. Here with single output Astro and 6000 mAh capacity the size was reduced down to an awesome compact size which you can store even inside of a very small purse. But don't let the small size fool you - you still get all new 2nd gen design with every bell'n'whistle of Astro 2 and 3. So let's take a closer look. Continuing with their environmentally friendly packaging, battery came inside of a neatly packaged box which contained a battery itself, a manual (always very detailed), and accessory box with usb to micro-usb cable and a mesh draw-string storage bag for a batt

Michael Eisner: ESPN 'One of the Best Acquisitions' of the Century
Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner is interviewed by the Associated Press, and he reflects on the purchase of ESPN he led with the company. In 1995, Disney purchased CapCities/ABC for $19 billion, acquiring ABC and ESPN in the process.
In the interview, Eisner calls the deal "one of the best acquisitions maybe of that whole century."
"We spent the $19 billion because we wanted ESPN," he said in a recent interview centered on Tuesday's release of his book, "Working Together: Why Great Partnerships Succeed." "It wasn't an accident, no."

Baseball-crazy Venezuela is the only South American country where football is not the most popular sport. This is the main reason why the Caribbean nation has never hosted the Copa América, the world's oldest ongoing national team championship (it was played for the first time 91 years ago). But this will change today when Venezuela takes to the field at home against Bolivia in the opening match of the 92nd edition of the cup.
Boca Juniors's Copa Libertadores victory marked them out as the most successful club side of the milennium and it's all down to the return of a famous son, says Rodrigo Orihuela.
Fifa's ludicrous decision to prevent internationals being played above 2,500m has actually helped to bring antagonistic factions in South America closer together, reports Rodrigo Orihuela.
Rodrigo Orihuela: Romario may have scored his 1,000th goal - but after a career full of broken curfews and public fall-outs the 41-year-old won't be hanging his boots up yet.
The Copa Libertadores is being dominated by a short, fat, free-scoring striker: Chilean side Colo Colo's Humberto 'Gordo' Suazo. Rodrigo Orihuela reports.
Compared to the four-country dominance of the Champions League, the scope of Copa Libertadores contenders are a world apart.

Drawing the E-Commerce Battle Lines
Drawing the E-Commerce Battle Lines
When America Online recently announced its yawn-oriented shopping portal ("Gee," asked executives from Microsoft and Yahoo simultaneously, "why didnt we think of that? Oh yeah. We did."), it renewed the perennial offline/online e-commerce debate.
Since shortly after the Web came into being and browsers became graphical, the Web was without form, and void and darkness were upon the face of the browser. And Andreessen said, "Let there be commerce." And Barksdale saw the commerce and that it was good. And Barksdale divided the online from the offline.
Biblical paraphrases aside, the age-old debate with e-commerce has been how retailers should make their online and offline sides play nicely together. In a perfect world, a retailer would do extensive customer research, identify the exact kinds of sales and services that make the most sense for online and those that would work best for offline, and act accordingly.
Division executives would then be compensated on overall growth and would therefore gleefully send sales to another group if thats in the companys best interest. Alas, we dont live in that perfect world.
This leaves us in a world of Web "me-too"s, brick-and-mortars that seem to fight with their online units more than cooperating with them and just a handful of companies that are truly trying to differentiate themselves.
I know it sounds self-serving coming from an eWEEK.com columnist, but the best answer to much of this is more sophisticated use of technology. Lands End, for example, has for years made an art out of online custom clothing. Using an extensive database and a onetime questionnaire, it provides an accurate, virtual fitting room.
To read about Microsofts efforts to lure retailers to its operating system, click here.
Last week, a group of ink-stained daily newspaper publishers (Gannett, Knight Ridder and the Tribune Co.) tried to extend their display advertising sections onto the Web. Thus far, thats a pretty obvious move, but what ShopLocal.com did was create a wonderful amalgam of offline and online.
Instead of the AOL model of using a portal to find other online stores and pay shipping, ShopLocal.com uses the search and customization powers of the Web to help people find the items they want at brick-and-mortars and at brick-and-mortars that have those items on sale.
Read more here about how ShopLocal.com works.
Future revs are supposed to be able to add current inventory information as well. Imagine a holiday-shopping effort where the site takes your full list and identifies any local merchants (you set the distance for your definition of "local") that it have it on sale and in stock. You might even then be able to call and have them put it behind the counter for a few hours while you drive over.
I give that site gold stars because it is using technology not to create a brick-and-mortar or an online merchant, but to leverage the strength of one and to effortlessly marry it to the strength of the other. And as an added bonus, the customer fares better than he or she would have otherwise. ("Oh, yeah. Customers," mumbled the Costco exec. "Almost plumb forgot about them.")
Next Page: Burlington Coat Factorys better way.
Burlingtons Better Way
On the other extreme are brick-and-mortars with Web sites that choose to keep the two worlds separate. I shouldnt say this, but theres a certain refreshingly honest quality to that approach. "We sell clothes and theyre good clothes. You buy from human salespeople. We sell clothes the way our parents did and you can buy them like your parents did."
Oddly enough, one champion of that approach is the retail industrys most senior CIO, Mike Prince of the Burlington Coat Factory. In the more than 25 years that Prince has reigned over the technology operations of the company that is today an almost $3 billion retailer, he has consistently been on the cutting edge of technology, from launching a corporate Web site in 95 to early adoption of Unix, Oracle (Burlington is the single oldest customer of any Oracle application), e-mail, TCP/IP, symmetrical multiprocessing andmost recentlyLinux.

And yet here we have this technological pioneer and trend-setter who is proud to use technology where it helps and to not even try where its not necessary. Is Prince interested in creating a Web-based tailor program? Nope. His response is the same one my grandfathera onetime veteran of New Yorks garment districtwould have given. "You come in, you try it on, and if it looks good, you buy it," Prince said. "If it doesnt, you dont."
Burlingtons business model has merchandise distributed nationally to some 315 stores in 42 states, but in relatively small quantities. "We do a lot of opportunistic buys so there is not necessarily enough depth to put it in all stores," he said. "We scatter it throughout the whole country, so theres not a significant stock in any one location." That makes fulfilling lots of Web orders difficult.
Even though Burlington doesnt now allow a lot of integration between its online and offline worlds, Princes team is dramatically upgrading IT infrastructure so that it can support integration as soon as the business decides it wants to. "From an IT standpoint, were enabling it. Transactions done that way would certainly flow through the system cleanly," he said.

Hows that for refreshing? Instead of some Web site that uses technology because it can, Burlington can and chooses not to. Its looking at its customers and its business and deciding that it is confident enough and savvy enough to not deploy without a good reason.
But like Paul Newmans Henry Gondorff character from "The Sting," it would be unwise to underestimate Burlington. "Dont kid yourself," Newmans character says to Robert Redfords Johnny Hooker. "I still know how."

Oh, the cleverness of me! {WoW}
Sep 5th 2008 4:43PM I've been running a DK through beta - Outlands 5-mans stand no chance against 5 DK's (as they stand now). Some of the bigger pulls can be a problem, but for the most part, bosses drop faster than with a balanced group. 30-minute Ramps and BF runs with level 58-62 DK's are the norm.
