FIRST RAN Dec. 14th 2012, but was Hacked from the site.Dec 14th 2012. The TWO COWS Give Their Approval for John Kerry as Secretary of State.COW 1, "Looks like Kerry will be the new Secretary of State."COW 2, "Well, between Condoleezza and Hillary we Girls have been Secretary of State for twelve years. Maybe it's time for somebody with outside plumbing to take the job."COW 1, "During the time we girls were Secretary of State America did NOT start any new wars, and it ended the war in Iraq. Women are better at NOT starting wars than men."COW 2, "That's because we don't let out penis do our thinking."COW 1, "That's because we don't have a penis."COW 2, "Well, America needs to have some serious talks with Iran, and others, and maybe a man is better for right now."COW 1, "Yeah, as a Vietnam War veteran Kerry can tell the Iranians that having a war just for the fun of it all sometimes isn't that much fun."COW 2, "He can say, 'Been there - Done that, and it was NOT a joy.' Most wars aren't much fun anymore."COW 1, "If American troops had never gone to Vietnam, the world today in 2012 would be the same."COW 2, "You're wrong, it would be better. The Vietnam War slowed the flow of history, it caused the Cultural Revolution in China with all of that horror and waste, and it set back by 14 years the spread of openness in China and Vietnam."COW 1, "The Iranians will tell Kerry that they are pissed off about the Zionist's slavery and Colonialism in the West Bank."COW 2, "Who in the World isn't? Kerry needs to tell the Iranians the truth. Things are going in the right direction. Slowly, yes slowly, but going in the right direction."COW 1, "That's true, the West Bank slave Colony has no future as a slave Colony. It's not if it will be free, but only when. The Iranians cooling it and being less of an international trouble maker will make West Bank freedom arrive sooner, and overall Middle East stability arrive sooner."COW 2, "Kerry has been a Senator since 1985, that's 27 years. Maybe Kerry can teach Iranian PM Mahmoud Ahmedinajad to do what US Senators do, say the opposite of what they really think."COW 1, "Kerry is tall and that's a plus, but he has a horse face."COW 2, "Well, a horse face works for Jay Leno."COW 1, "Maybe the secret for Kerry's success as Secretary of State is to get some really good writers like Leno has."COW 2, "We're open."COW 1, "I don't think Kerry is that imaginative."
FIRST RAN Dec. 13th 2012, but Hacked from the site.Dec. 13th 2012. Andy's TWO COWS Talk about the FED's "New" Plan for Yet ANOTHER Trillion Dollars of Queer.COW 1, "In today's Wall Street Journal the headline story and picture is Bernanke saying that in 2013 he's going to pump out $85 Billion Dollars worth of QuEer PER MONTH. So that's an Additional Trillion Dollars worth of Queer Money in 2013."Cow 2, "Washington DC ONLY knows to how to make mistakes bigger. All of the Queer Trillions that Bernanke has already pissed out haven't worked to increase employment, so the FED faggots are doing More of what's a Proven Failure."COW 1, "Where is the $85 Billion Dollars Per MONYH coming from?"COW 2, "It's ALL fabricated shit. They open up the computer and type another hundred Billion Dollars into the FED's account."COW 1, "Isn't that illegal?"COW 2, "Whatever a Government does is by definition legal. The Holocaust was legal by German Law, so legally inside of Germany there was no crime. Murdering the Jews was all Preventive Law Enforcement and legal. Just like the massive accounting fraud, deceit and money trickery inside of today's FED is legal under American law."COW 1, "Preventive Law Enforcement, wasn't that just limited to Nazi Germany?"COW 2, "No. It's what Bashar Assad is doing right now in Syria. It's the constant call from America's Zionists to have America Pearl Harbor Iran, and murder a lot of Iranians to PREVENT them from doing any possible future crimes." COW 1, "Could you and I do the same kind of accounting that the FED is doing?"COW 2, "Absolutely not. What the FED faggots are doing is pure Madoff tag-team accounting fraud between the FED and the US Treasury. Madoff was running the same kind of accounting tag-team fraud between his New York Company and his London Company. If we did the same thing we'd be in jail for the next 500 years just like Madoff."COW 1, "I don't get it. So the FED faggots pump out another Trillion Dollars of QuEer Money in 2013. My question is - So What? Isn't more money a good thing?"COW 2, "Let's see if you're smart enough to learn what the FED deadheads will Never understand. Let's pretend that I'm Bernanke, and I waive my magic fairy faggot wand and I create a Million Dollars in a suitcase, and I give the Million Dollars to you."COW 1, "I like it, I like it. Do me."COW 2, "Okay, so you have a Million Dollars in your suitcase. What do you really have?"COW 1, "Well, I have everything - don't I?"COW 2, "Not really. The Million Dollars, can you eat it and keep from starving? The answer is NO. Can you drive it to work? The answer is NO. Will it keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer? The answer is NO. What you really have is a suitcase full of asswipe, and it's not even very good asswipe."COW 1, "But I can BUY all of those things with my FED Free money - right?"COW 2, "Here is where you have to turn your brain on. Let's say that YOU go to a farmer. A farmer who used real land, real water, seeds, expensive real farm machinery, gasoline, work, and the TIME and All of the Many products it took to live while his crops grew. You go to the framer and you with your Queer Money, YOU buy a bag of Corn that took REAL WORK and REAL ASSETS to produce. What just happened?"COW 2, "I got a bag of Corn with my FREE Money."COW 1, "Yes, that part is true. What else happened?"COW 2, "I don't know what you mean?"COW 1, "You bought something that is REAL, with something that is NOT REAL. Your suitcase of Bernanke Queer doesn't represent any kind of work, asset, or value anywhere else in the world. It's pure queer NOTHING."COW 1, "I don't see what you're getting at."COW 2, "If you buy anything that took real work and real assets to product, and you buy it with something that's totally fabricated and never was real. What happened?"COW 1, "I don't understand what you're asking."COW 2, "When you buy something that's real, with something that NEVER was real like the FED's faggot money. What you've done is corrupt and distort the value of what is real."COW 1, "But isn't it all real?"COW 2, "No, it's not all real. It's like one glass of pure drinking water and one glass of faggot shit water. When you mix them together you DO NOT get two glasses of pure drinking water. You get two glasses of shit water. You end up with More Water, or in this case More money, but it's corrupted shit money. For the last five years I've been saying that the only thing the FED is doing is pissing in the soup. Yeah, we have more soup, and it's making everyone sick."COW 1, "I still don't see what you're trying to say."COW 2, Let me put it this way. Suppose you pick up a stone on the road, and you go to the farmer's stand and you buy your bag of Corn with the stone."COW 1, "What's the stone supposed to be?"COW 2, "The Stone is like the FED queer million dollars I just gave you. That money never had any value. It's like the stone, it's all Pretend value. It all fraud value. It's the value that Madoff's bank accounts had. So you buy the Corn with the stone - what happened?"COW 1, "I got a bag of Corn with a stone?"COW 2, "Yes that's true. And what did the Farmer get?"COW 1, "Well, ah...he got the stone."COW 2, "So the farmer got a stone in exchange for a bag of Corn that COST the farmer real work, and real assets to product. What happened?"COW 1, "I told you, I got my Corn."COW 2, "Yes, you did get your corn, but in the process YOU MADE THE FARMER POORER. The farmer gave you something that cost him real time, real work and real assets for something that's fabricated queer. The farmer is poorer."COW 1, "I don't get it."COW 2, "What I'm saying is that all of the FED's fabricated Trillions are making the real workers of America, and the world, POORER. The workers of America are giving real work for fabricated queer money NOTHING. The more queer money that the FED pumps out the LESS VALUABLE the work of Americans, and everyone's work, becomes. One of the reasons for America's high unemployment is the FED's queer money that is CORRUPTING THE VALUE of real work."COW 1, "I don't understand."COW 2, "Let's look at it from a totally different angle. Why the Hell would anyone in America go thought the headaches of building a new factory in the USA, putting up with the Unions, the EPA, the lawyers, the taxes, and all of that crap when they can borrow money from the FED at almost NOTHING, arbitrage it for 200% to 500% profit, and all while they're on their yacht in St Barts? It's the FED's artificially forced down low interest rates that are causing unemployment, not curing it."COW 1, "I still can't see what you're trying to say."THE ENDPERMISSION TO REPRINT.

The FED's Queer Trillions are in the long run making people ALL OVER THE WORLD poorer, ESPECIALLY the already poor.The FED's Trillions of queer dollars have RAISED food prices ALL OVER THE WORLD. The world's poor spend 60% to 70% of their money on basic food and energy. When the FED faggots raise prices it INCREASES the misery of hundreds of millions of people, and that in turn creates MORE civil wars, revolutions, conflicts and bloody in-fighting. The American FED has ALREADY killed a lot of people in the world, and WILL kill a lot more. There is a good argument for calling the USA FED the biggest in-direct terrorist killer in the world.

Another FED Trillion dollars of Queer Money for 2013 will DEFINITLY raise food prices for the world's poor, and make them a even poorer.The people of the World have to wake up.

A CSS style guide for form fieldsets
Recently we were asked to clean up some old table formatted credit card forms. At the same time the client was implementing a new credit card system which meant all of the existing forms now had to be updated to the new format and standards of the web application.
Besides removing the bloated table code, I decided to take a look at styling the fieldsets for the form.
Field sets are a great way to categorize or lump similar form fields together. For instance if you have a form that asks the user for her name and address and also asks info about her car, you can separate the contact info into 1 fieldset and the car info into another fieldset.
A great way to do this is style each section inside of a fieldset.
I've always believed in making a form intuitive and 'stupid' proof. You'd be surprised how many people will leave your site if things become too complicated. But we'll save that for another topic.
Now that you have your form fields categorized let's take a look at how to style them.
Below is a simple fieldset with a basic table. This code works cross browser and has been tested.
<legend>Parent/Guardian information</legend>
Parent/Guardian name:
<input name="name" id="name" type="text" size="30" maxlength="50" />
Here's an explanation of what a field set consists of.
fieldset – this is represented by the blue border in the image above. Think of it as a container for your form elements.
legend – The legend is a great way to tell your users what information they are filling out. In this case the form is asking for the Parent/Guardian name, address and such.
So how do you style the fieldset and legend?
Styling is done with CSS. I haven't read up on the CSS3 capabilities so the styles represented below are CSS2 compliant.
form legend {
font-size: 1.1em;
color: #FFF;
padding: 0.3em; font-weight: bold;
background-color: #060C56
form label {
text-align: inherit;
width: auto
form fieldset {
padding : 15px;
border:1px solid #7F9DB9;
width: 96%;
margin: 0 auto
The code is pretty self explanatory. Nothing out of the ordinary. You may see some slight variation with this in IE but nothing major that would require unnecessary hacks or conditional statements.
One item of note. Internet Explorer will NOT understand the margin: 0 auto; command unless you make reference to a doctype.
Now go knock yourself out and created some stylized field sets. Be sure to share what you've done.
One Comment
The field sets certainly give clear direction to the site visitor. Any aid to completing a form is worthwhile both for the visitor and for ensuring error free data for the website operator.

SEATTLE -- One of the nation's largest Internet service providers has agreed to change the way it deals with new customers acquired through its purchase of smaller ISPs, Attorney General Christine Gregoire announced today.
In papers filed in King County Superior Court, Earthlink -- which claims about 5 million customers nationwide -- agreed to the new standards, which were negotiated over the last several months with the Attorney General's High Tech Unit.
The agreement was necessary, Gregoire said, because of the number of consumer complaints received by her office since 2001, when the company started acquiring ISPs. The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division has received about 100 Earthlink complaints, mostly from customers who were billed for Earthlink service they did not sign up for, she said.
The agreement will affect all newly-acquired Earthlink customers, regardless of where they live.
"Consumers have the right to choose whom they will select as their Internet service providers. This agreement ensures they will get that choice, and the information necessary to make informed decisions," Gregoire said.
"Earthlink has accepted responsibility and is committed to dealing fairly with its new customers. Hopefully, other Internet service providers will follow Earthlink's lead," she added.
Under the agreement, Earthlink will:

I wanted to upgrade my existing Vantage model to this new LVH HD. I was able to simple swap out the old cameras with the new HD cameras using the existing BNC cables. However, the old cameras were not compatible AND my one wireless camera wasn't either. Alot on money was spent on the wireless, so I wasn't happy having to dig a line from the house to the garage in order to have a camera. But the image with the HD is far better than the old, and the FLIR app had me setup in seconds. I can view my house anywhere, anytime. Also, if you want a manual, you have to download the pdf file and print out 150 plus pages yourself.

This is a great camera set. Video quality is great both day and night vision.
Location: Wilmington De |
I have purchased this system to replace my Q-see system and I am using the existing bnc/power cables. The previous system had 650 TV lines or resolution and this system produces a much better picture resolution. The colors are vibrant and very crisp. You can actually recognize people now. Overall the system has been performing pretty good we'll see how it holds up in time so far I've had for only a few days.

I had to upgrade my old system to something higher quality. I had someone run over my mailbox and with my old system I could not make out the license tag. I did a lot of research and the Lorex system was the best bang for the buck. This system makes it simple to change over to HD as you just change out each camera and the DVR unit. Remote view could not be easier with the FILR setup. HD quality is amazing as I can now see every detail, including a license tag. |

If you are like me you have been trying to figure out the best system for the money. I spent hours researching cameras, quality, nvr vs dvr, and Poe vs rg59 connection. This system is by far the best value I found. Camera quality is great, connection and set up is very user friendly. I had access to an attic to run the wires which is why I stayed away from wireless. One thing I didn't realize was I needed an Ethernet port connection to a router. My router is in my basement. I didn't have any easy way to connect my dvr. I decided to use a wireless extender to copy my signal and plug the dvr into the bridge I created. Not included. Works perfectly!!! The flir app is good but a little difficult when not on the same network as the dvr. However, I think I have figured it out. I have a setting while on the network with the same IP address and one while I am away from the house. I am extremely satisfied with the purchase. I have tried to set up the ddns and as of now it still doesn't work. I have not called for help yet. If I can't figure it out i will call lorex. Save yourself hours of research and buy it. Also spend some time researching an NVR. This may have prevented the bridge I had to create. |

I had a cheap unit prior to this that had extremely poor resolution. I recently had my car window broken and the video was too poor for police to use. After browsing I found this unit at Costco's website. Its amazing how clear it is. Its a pain to run the wires, but since I already had 4 ran, I only needed 2 more and the hdmi cable. The Flir was a breeze, I used a wireless ethernet box originally for my Xbox and it hooked up flawlessly. When accessing the app abroad, there is maybe a 3-4 second delay and if on your own wifi there is zero delay (less than one second). I highly recommend this unit for the sub $600 price; I could not be happier. Customer service is real, and nice. |

The camera clarity is great. It is my first system so take that for what it is. The interface is easy to use. Flir cloud is easy to setup with my device. Lost a star because the connection is hit or miss. Sometimes I try to connect and it says timed out. Im sure its an app thing not a system issue though. Overall even if I cant check the app Reviewing old footage is great. The motion indicator on saved video makes it very easy. |

I bought this product off the shelf at Costco after doing some research and liking what I was reading. I am pleased with the purchase and would rate this product with 5 stars, but I am having issues/problems with a single camera only 4 days after purchase. If the support team comes through, then I will be updating this review with more stars. |

Pros: high resolution cameras night vision capable, 1 tb dvr records about 4 1/2 days x 8 hd cameras, footage remotely accessible, dvr is easy to use with motion designators |

I just picked up the LHD818 a day ago. At first I was blown away by the size of the cameras and the weight of each one. The plastic feel did not seem as solid but I am sure its been tested to be sturdy. Hardware setup was a breeze and upon boot, I noticed the system came up right away. The first few cameras stood out and started to notice some imperfections on each camera. Some cameras were blurry and some sharp. I noticed one camera was completely out of focus and camera lens was probably no adjusted. I wrote an email to tech support and hopefully get an answer on the repair. The software seems to have limitations such as only being able to see 4 channels on playback at once. All 8 could not be pulled up at once. FFWD and RWD is not fast to process. Digital Zoom is a bit difficult to use. Not yet tested the mobile or remote access. It's terrible that no other camera can be connected to this DVR as well as the 720P camera cannot be connected to another DVR. So the system is completely proprietary. Scary if something were to fail especially with a 1yr MFG warranty. Today I received an email indicating if I write a review I can recieve a 2nd yr FREE warranty which is a plus. Still they need to correct the bugs mentioned including the limited hardware replacements. I looked up the 720P cameras and I see them sold in pairs but no price. I found them on ebay for $238 for 4 and $89 for 1. Overall with a day and 1/2 of playing with it I am impressed with the quality, playback, easy setup, small/lightweight cameras and its distance is fairly good. Night mode will be tested shortly. So far if there are any lights around it seems to make areas darker in non-illuminated areas. I will need to test placement. |

I purchased this system from our local store after reading a lot about the new 720p over analog cameras and the bang for buck! I found the installation of the system (other than crawling around in my attic) to be extremely simple. Lorex has taken the guess work out of connecting to your system remotely and "even a caveman can do it". We have ours connected via our Android phones, our iPads and even from our home PC. We installed the system in a secure closet and rarely even login at the dvr, almost always remotely. If I was able to make one change it would be the option to add a second hdd. Not just for more recording time, but if one failed, it would be nice to have a backup hdd just incase. |

Picked this up from Costco. Setup was easy. The BNC connections are difficult to connect due to not enough spacing between the plugs. Camera resolution is very good. I like the zoom capability. Haven't had it long but I think it is a keeper. The FLIR download for the Mac doesn't work and there is no documentation on the website. I called and was informed that I need to upgrade my OS to download and extract the program. Never had any issue downloading and extracting programs even if it won't execute. Website needs to provide Mac compatibility and instructions. |

I purchased this system from local store after I saw that system demo in the store . I am amazed with the product and camera resolution. It is very easy to set it up and view local LAN and over internet WAN. I have configured to access it over LAn/WAN/iPhone app and they all worked great. I strongly recommend this product to anyone, as a matter fact lots of my neighbor want to buy this system after I installed and show it to them. I had slight issue with WAN setup and called Lorex tech support which is very knowedgable and assisted me since my work had firewall blocking the port preventing WAN connectivity but I had alternate way to access from my work PC. |

System works as advertised. Video images are very good and many more features than expected. Most important is the service which earns 5 stars for their 7 days coverage and a very patient staff to get me initially setup. Could not get my TV monitors connected but was flawless with a PC monitor. Internet access to iPad was easy to set up and will be a great tool for remote viewing. Relatively new product so there might be some hidden glitches but not to concerned because of the good support. My system is up and running. |

SDCC: Michael Keaton Voices Non-Anatomical Doll for 'Toy Story 3′
Casting Couch By Scott the Intern on July 24, 2009 | (3) CommentsOh, Ken. He's like Barbie's play thing. Which is weird considering that she's like a little girl's play thing. If there was ever a better representation of the hollow-smiled, super-rich, perfectly-sculpted dream guy I'm not sure what it is. But it looks like Michael Keaton is about to become his voice in Toy Story 3.
ComingSoon has confirmed that Keaton will be lending his talents to the crotchless man, probably because the role, as well as Barbie's, will be beefed up a little bit. And, probably because it's a Pixar film. Who doesn't want to be involved with one of those?
No word yet as to whether Keaton will be listening to the band Aqua non-stop in preperation.
John Lasseter commented that, "it's a totally different emotional core that this movie has. We're really excited for it."
I have no idea what that means.
But I do have an ideas as to when the movie is hitting theaters: June 18th of 2010. Just a little less than a year away.
What do you think?

Review by Patricia L. Fry
Maxine Thompson knows how to sell fiction—she has written several novels and she is selling them. In fact, I watched as reader after reader stopped at her booth during a recent book festival and walked away with one or two of her books under their arms. The Hush Hush Secrets to Writing Fiction That Sells comes in two styles—a paperback print book (size 8.5 x 11) with plastic comb binding or an e-book. And both books are filled with the stuff that good novels are made of.
Thompson's approach is straightforward and interesting. She explains the blueprint for a novel and she gives character, dialogue, point of view and plot development exercises and even self-editing tips. Do you want to know how to translate past business experience into your writing, the importance of a mentor and the correct way to use "tags" ("he said," "she said,")? You'll find these things and much more throughout the pages of this book.
Thompson says in her introduction: "Fiction is made up of narrative, action, description, setting, character development, sensory detail, language use, particularity, voice, reactions and revisions, just to name some of the parts. When the sum of all the parts works together, it's like hearing a beautifully orchestrated symphony."
Thompson claims to have learned these hush hush secrets from experiences working with writers who have landed book deals or who have sold thousands of books or who have been on the bestseller lists. And she gives generously of her knowledge. I attempted to count her tips and information bites and I lost count at around 125, about one-quarter of the way through the book.
This writer gives 22 ideas for choosing your setting and 40 things to help you revise and self-edit your manuscript. She even offers a 14-step program for writers who don't like to read. She says that "writers who don't read" is an oxymoron. There are certain strengths that you build when you read the type of books you write. However, if you still refuse to read, Thompson's 14 tips will help you to write as if you are well read.
Many of you will find Chapter 26 most interesting. It is called What makes for Writing Compelling Fiction. The author tells you the elements for a compelling fiction book. She suggests you show characterization that involves an inner life as well as external life. What qualities can you add to make a reader care? Thompson says, "Show the characters' strengths as well as vulnerabilities."
Thompson's book is easy to read and understand. I recommend it for any author of fiction no matter your level of experience. Even seasoned novelists will certainly learn something of value from this book.
Dr. Maxine Thompson is an award-winning writer, a literary agent and the author of several novels. She hosts three Internet radio shows.

On the ingredient list, "natural polyphenols" are listed as the active ingredient, but that is not an active ingredient regulated by any cosmetic regulatory agency in the world. Plus, the plants that make up this blend of "special" ingredients aren't necessarily a great source of polyphenols; in fact, several would cause irritation. This serum is rife with problematic ingredients, including alcohol, peppermint, mint, lemon, and a sensitizing preservative blend. None of this is soothing for anyone's skin.

We have to admit we weren't looking forward to reviewing this line. We've been aware of Sothys for some time, and over the years many women have asked us what we thought of it. We don't ever mind being asked what we think of a product line, but in this case it was the way we were asked that we found depressing. Somehow this spa-oriented line has developed an almost reverent reputation for being a superior skin-care line.
A question would go like this, "What do you think of Sothys?" We would reply, "Not much, the formulas are either out of date or contain problematic ingredients and the price tag is silly for what you get." Inevitably, the response would be, "Really? I thought it was one of the best lines around … it's French, you know?" Sigh. Yes, we do know. But …
Despite a long French-heritage, dating back to 1946, this spa-oriented brand with a vast array of products doesn't deserve a reputation for being anything other than an overpriced spa brand to avoid.
Most of Sothys skin-care formularies are so far behind the times that using them is akin to using a typewriter instead of a computer—the formulations are as ordinary and mundane as it gets. Almost all their moisturizers lack any reasonable amount of antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, or cell-communicating ingredients. Also consider that there are no effective products for those struggling with blemishes or blackheads, despite their claims. It is astounding that in a line with dozens of facial moisturizers (most with repetitive formulas), not a single one includes a sunscreen. How can this brand be so incredibly blind to the number one cause of wrinkles and skin aging? If they aren't aware of the critical importance of sun protection, then how much do you want to trust them in any other aspect of helping your skin?
Sothys makes much ado about the training it provides to aestheticians. Not having attended any of their classes, we can't speak specifically to the content of what they teach, but if their products are even vaguely representative of what they inculcate, woe to those aestheticians who rely on Sothys as their source of skin-care education.
When all is said and done, and you've gotten past the smoke and mirrors, nothing else matters if you don't have well-formulated products, sunscreens, exfoliants, acne products, options for rosacea and sensitive skin, and/or reasonable pricing. And that's where Sothys falls flat on its scrubbed, steamed, masked, and spa "purified" face.

With The One Minute Manager Ken Blanchard and coauthor Spencer Johnson forever changed the way we approach management by introducing their Three Secrets: One Minute Goals, One Minute Praisings and One Minute Reprimands. The book became an international bestseller and remains a timeless classic. Blanchard, along with coauthor Margret McBride, presents the 4th Secret, a concept that, when implemented properly, is one of the most powerful actions for improving company and employee morale. This is a book that can extend well beyond the business realm and repair relationships that we thought were broken forever.
Using Blanchard's signature breezy style, The 4th Secret of the One Minute Manager tells the story of a bright young man, Matt Hawkins, who wants to help his mentor, the company president, face and deal with some crucial mistakes. For advice, Matt turns to family friend Jack Peterson, known by everyone as the One Minute Manager. What begins as a beautiful country weekend turns into an enlightening few days when Matt discovers how to take action effectively when we have done something wrong. Through this engaging parable, Blanchard and McBride teach readers step-by-step how to accept responsibility for their errors and deal with the cause of the damage while maintaining a genuine sense of integrity.
Destined to join Ken Blanchard's other groundbreaking classics, The 4th Secret of the One Minute Manager offers businesspeople—and just about anyone else—a cogent and clearheaded way of approaching one of life's most perplexing dilemmas: how to accept that we have made a wrong decision and how to correct it by making a meaningful apology. The techniques described in this simple but profound story will have significant results at work and at home.

Israel's brutal crackdowns on Palestinians living under its occupation dominate the news, but other longer-term trends are equally worrying. The Palestinian Authority is confiscating more and more land from Palestinian farmers in order to build industrial zones, which strips farmers of their right to grow their own food and further increases Palestinian dependency on Israel. Al-Shabaka Guest Author Vivien Sansour and Al-Shabaka Program Director Alaa Tartir argue that sustained community efforts are needed to preserve one of the most important elements of resistance that Palestinians have.
The neo-liberal policies associated with Oslo have gradually laid waste to the Palestinian struggle for liberation. Advanced by a coalition of transnational development agencies, Israeli occupation actors, and Palestinian capitalists and political elites, this "economic neo-colonization of Palestine," argues Al-Shabaka guest author Khalil Nakhleh, must be met with a "People-Centered Liberationist Development" strategy that develops and empowers indigenous resources aimed at securing all Palestinian rights.
A powerful group of Palestinian capitalists is thriving in the occupied Palestinian territory even as most of the population is struggling to survive. Too often, they owe their wealth to economic collaboration with Israel. Drawing on recent research, Al-Shabaka Policy Member Tariq Dana analyzes the ways in which these "crony capitalists" influence policy, use indebtedness for social control, and normalize the occupation. Click below for the full brief or read the executive summary.
The Oslo Accords not only left the Palestinian people much worse off politically; they also devastated the economy of those living under Israeli occupation despite the $23 billion-plus that donors have poured into the territory. What's worse, Al-Shabaka Guest Author Jeremy Wildeman and Program Director Alaa Tartir found no signs of a change in donor policies in their recent study. The Oslo aid model may be here to stay unless Palestinians forcefully demand change.
Industrial zones are criticized in the Arab region and beyond. The problem is much worse in the occupied Palestinian territory because the zones help Israel "normalize" its occupation, as Al-Shabaka Programme Director Alaa Tartir sets out in this trenchant commentary. He calls on the Palestinian youth movement and civil society to use the issue in a call for a completely different approach to development under occupation.
The recent World Bank growth report frankly concludes that the Palestinian economy is fragile and dependent on foreign aid: No surprises there. Far more surprising – not to say shocking – are the Bank's irrelevant and sometimes harmful recommendations, as Al-Shabaka Program Director Alaa Tartir and Guest Author Jeremy Wildeman reveal in this compelling analysis. The Bank's prescriptions are all the more worrying given the influence it exercises over the donor community's approach to Palestinian development.
Al-Shabaka Policy Advisor Victor Kattan secured the release of new documents under the United Kingdom's Freedom of Information Act. One revelation is that Israel may already be exploiting oil in the occupied Palestinian territories. As one official noted, this will make it even harder for Britain to justify aid for a land that could be self-reliant if it were free – further evidence of the need to push for an end to Israel's occupation not pay for it.
For Palestinians, agriculture is more than a source of income or an economic category in budgets and plans. It is tied to the people's history, identity, and self-expression, and drives the struggle against Israel's Separation Wall. In this brief, Lebanese activist, author, and agronomist Rami Zurayk joins Al-Shabaka Policy Advisors Samer Abdelnour and Alaa Tartir to tackle the almost spiritual significance of the land to the Palestinians and the deliberate Israeli efforts to break the link between farmers and their crops. Click below for the full brief or read the executive summary.
The Egyptian-Israeli gas deal has come unstuck, partly due to the artificially low price Israel was paying for it. Will this help the Palestinians, whose gas fields off the coast of Gaza remain undeveloped and hostage to Israeli demands to be sold the gas at ludicrously low prices? Al-Shabaka Program Director Victor Kattan tells the little-known story of the struggle to develop the gas fields off Gaza and its implications for the prospects of any form of independent economic development under conditions of military occupation.
In an important recent piece - Economic Hallucination - Ramallah-based Al-Shabaka policy advisor Sam Bahour exposed the charade played by both Western donors and the Palestinian Authority (PA) to cover up the occupied territory's inexorable economic meltdown after decades of Israeli military occupation. Arguing that the combined donor-PA approach poses major obstacles to freedom and rights, Bahour concluded: "It's time for a new economic model, one built on economic justice, social welfare, solidarity, and sustainability." What would such an economic model look like and how can Palestinians living under occupation move from today's grim reality to an economy that sustains the quest for self-determination? Al-Shabaka policy advisors Alaa Tartir and Samer Abdelnour join Bahour to debate these questions and explore alternatives.
In the second Al-Shabaka commentary on the "Palestine Papers," Al-Shabaka Policy Advisor Samer Abdelnour examines the integral role played by the aid industry in ensuring the de-development of the Palestinian economy.
Politically-motivated aid for the occupied Palestinian territories has ostensibly promoted "development" and "reconstruction" while indirectly supporting Israel's policies of occupation and Palestinian de-development. The result: a steady increase in Palestinian poverty rates, ongoing Israeli expropriation of Palestinian lands and resources, and the continuing blockade of Gaza. Al-Shabaka Policy Advisor Samer Abdelnour argues that Palestinians need a drastic change in development approach.

The Card
Having a look at the video card we can see HIS has gone for a design which moves the fan to the middle instead of to the right hand side like we see out of the IceQ cooler. If we look a little closer we can see a pair of copper heatpipes that come out the middle where a large aluminum heatsink sits.
Taking a quick spin around you can see towards the back we've got two 6-pin PCIe power connectors while closer to the front you can see we've got a single CrossFire connector that allows us to run up to two of these cards together for added performance.
The I/O department finds a Dual-Link DVI port along with a full size HDMI port and two Mini DisplayPort connectors to round out the connectivity side of things. With the two Mini DP connectors it would've been nice to see at least one Mini DP to DP connector in the bundle, but there isn't. So in the event you want to make use of DisplayPort connectivity straight away, you'll no doubt want to look into buying an adapter.
Out of the box the HIS HD 7870 GHz Edition card we've got on hand follows the reference clock speeds. That means the core comes in at 1000MHz as the "GHz Edition" name would suggest while the 2GB of GDDR5 carries a clock speed of 4800MHz QDR.
Because we've already looked at quite a few HD 7870s we figured today we'd look at the overclocking side of things on this model to see just what kind of performance we're able to get out of the card.
Looking above you can see we pushed the core up to 1170MHz while the 2GB of GDDR5 was pushed to 5400MHz QDR. This is a nice boost in clocks and we should see some nice performance gains.

Winter reprieve brings threatening weather
By Christin Nance Lazerus email@example.com February 20, 2014 12:42PM
A car on Massachusetts Street, just north of 45th Avenue in Gary, is nearly submerged in melting snow Thursday morning. | Carole Carlson/Sun-Times Media
Updated: March 22, 2014 6:24AM
Overnight thunderstorms hastened the snow melt on Thursday, but beyond seepage in basements and large puddles forming in low-lying areas, municipalities were coping well with the watery onslaught.
However, the situation could quickly change with Thursday evening thunderstorms and snow in the forecast, officials said.
By early afternoon Thursday, moisture from the melting snow and warmer temperatures produced a thick fog, which limited visibility to less than a quarter of a mile in spots. The thunderstorms, which could produce wind gusts up to 60 mph, were expected to hit the area between 5 and 8 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. The weather service advised homeowners to secure loose objects and beware of falling ice. The light snow is possible overnight, mainly north of Interstate 80.
Area public works crews were out in force on Thursday, clearing catch basins and monitoring roads to make sure they are passable.
Hobart Public Works director John Dubach said the city is keeping an eye on Lake George in anticipation of possible flooding. As of Thursday morning, the proactive measures appeared to be working.
"We've had no problems that we haven't been able to solve pretty quickly," Dubach said.
He said there were a couple spots with high water, but the problems were solved as soon as crews cleaned the catch basins.
Dubach asked that people refrain from snowmobiling and ice fishing on Lake George, saying the flood gate was opened a little in anticipation of high water levels, which could cause the lake ice to crack. He said the channel could pose a bigger danger.
Mayor Brian Snedecor at Wednesday night's City Council meeting warned residents there could be some flooding.
"Be prepared. Your sump pumps could be working overtime," Snedecor said.
Councilman Dave Vinzant, D-4th, said because it's been so cold for so long it will be awhile before the ground will be able to absorb all the snow as it melts.
"There will be a lot of standing water," Vinzant said.
In Merrillville, Matt Lake, executive director of Stormwater Utility, said temporary stormwater runoff along low-lying roadways is inevitable with the combination of melting snow, rain, frozen ground and many storm drains covered by snow and ice.
Lake encouraged homeowners to clear any storm drains in their yards and make sure their sump pump drains and downspout extensions are uncovered.
Merrillville has been in contact with the county surveyor's office about Turkey Creek, since most of it is within town boundaries, surveyor Bill Emerson Jr. said.
Emerson and his team were out Thursday surveying various sites of concern throughout the unincorporated areas of the county. He said the county is keeping an eye on a few hot spots, including Shady Shores near Shelby on the Kankakee River where pumps are hooked up and ready; the Hartsdale Pond in North Township near Dyer; the Cady Marsh and Harts ditches near Highland and Munster; Cady Marsh in Calumet Township and Turkey Creek in Merrillville.
The Little Calumet River rose to 9.28 feet at 4 p.m. Thursday, and minor flooding occurs at 12 feet. It was initially projected to crest at 11.7 feet Thursday night, but its level has lowered since then.
Hart Ditch was observed at 2.57 feet (minor flooding occurs at 12 feet) in Dyer and 3.5 feet in Munster (minor flooding occurs at 6 feet).
Dan Repay, the executive director of the Little Calumet River Basin Development Commission, said even though the river is rising, he doesn't think it would rise to anything that requires great attention.
"But there is going to be another wave of rain," Repay said. "We're still might need to do some closures at the bridges that cross the Little Cal."
Munster Town Manager Tom DeGiulio said the town is doing pretty well with water so far, but reusable bladders and sandbags are ready to go if necessary.
"The river is moving well, no ice jams," DeGiulio said. "Most of the rain was up north of us, although now there's more space to put snow. The river is moving well, but we have to wait for water to come south to us. It's just weird weather."
DeGiulio said another possible danger arising is black ice.
"With the snow melting and the roads being wet during the day, and if low temperatures reach the 20s at night, we do have that potential for black ice," he said.
Gary spokeswoman Chelsea Whittington said the city has received few calls, but the General Services Department and the Gary Sanitary District are responding to flood concerns. On Thursday morning, a motorist just barely made it through high waters on Martin Luther King Drive, then he declared "this road should be closed."
Staff writer Carole Carlson, and correspondents Karen Caffarini and Carrie Napoleon contributed to this report.

Why does my pet need to see a veterinary neurologist?
If your family veterinarian believes your pet has a neurological problem, it is in your pets best interest to seek the advice of a board certified veterinary neurologist because of the additional years of training and experience they have in working with all types of neurological problems.
The veterinary neurologist has access to advanced technology such as CAT scans and MR imaging, myelography, electrodiagnostic testing (electro-myography and nerve conduction analysis) and cerebral spinal fluid analysis. These diagnostic tools provide you with the confidence you need to make important decisions regarding your pets care.

Welcome to TravelPod, Kristin, I hope you like it here, and that you have many fabulous adventures in South America.
Louise Brown
TravelPod Community Manager
Well, here I am at the Indianapolis Airport! I packed my bags, said my goodbyes, and the big adventure starts NOW! I've been waiting for this day forever it seems like, I can't believe it's actually here. I decided to go ahead and purchase 24 hours of internet for $7.99 through AT&T since I have a 6 hour layover in Miami. Thought it would be a good time to get this blog thing started!
I can't believe I actually accomplished the grand feat of packing for 5 months in one suitcase. (OK I cheated... I have 2 suitcases, clothes are only in one of them though! Gotta leave room to bring home a bunch of stuff from the foreign lands!) As I watched my bags roll down the conveyor belt and disappear into the baggage tunnel I had a knot in my stomach as my mind raced to think of what I have forgotten. Oh well, I'll figure it out soon enough! My bags and I will not meet again until we are both in Chile. I wish them very very safe travels and pray that they arrive. Haha.
Here are my flight details:
I leave Indy at 2:50p.m. and land in Miami at 5:30p.m.
Flight leaves Miami at 11:25p.m. and I land in Santiago, CHILE at 9:40a.m.
If all goes according to plan, I'll get there on time and there should be a group pick up at the airport to take us where we need to be in Santiago. I'll be spending a few days there before heading to my official destination of Vi�a del Mar and Valpara�so. (My apartment is in Vi�a and the school is in Valpara�so. They are about ten minutes from each other.)
I have no idea what my internet availability will be like in Santiago so there's a chance I won't be writing anything until I arrive at my final destination. For now, assume that no news is good news. =)
I will miss you all and wish me luck as my journey begins!!
I'll write as soon as I can. . .
Love you alllll!!!
Hey Daughter
Well here we go again.....10 weeks in Spain...now 5 months in South America....what's next?? Please don't start researching the North Pole! We are all looking forward to the updates and hearing about life 'down south'. Looks like mid 80's all next week! I hope Chile is all you expected and much more! Be safe and proceed with caution as you explore your new world. Technology will keep us in touch and your time will go quickly! Love You! DAD
Hello Kristin
Up Up and Away--- Now your dream of studying in Chile is underway. You are about to land and I know you are anxious to see the sun and the city of Santiago. We miss you already ! Have great fun today! Hope your hotel is exquisite. Love you, Mom
Im so excited for you!
Hey Kristin not sure what the time difference is there but Im hoping your there by now. It's 9:30 am here so I hope your flight was good and you've gotten some rest! I miss you so much already even though I didn't get to see you before you left! I know for a FACT you will have a WONDERFUL, Spictacular time there in CHILE! Talk to you some more soon when we get updates! Love you and be safe!
On your way!
One year ago today we traveled to China! Wow is this family full of globe trotters or what? Can't wait to follow your blog.
God speed to you!
Love you, Aunt Jill
New Journey
Last night at 11:20 I looked at the clock and said Kristin has taken off on her journey. This morning I looked at the clock at 9:30 and said she has arrived and begins her adventure to new beginnings. I wish you well.
love you Ahma
Hey there!
Hey Kristin. I can't believe that you are already in Chile. Time sure flies! It was great seeing you in December! Can't wait to keep up with all your awesome stories! Until then.....
Take care sweetie. Love-your cuz Elaine
Chapter 2
Congrats on making it to Chile! I know your mom is SO PROUD of you. I can't wait to hear about your awesome adventures. Just remember...I have a passport and willing to travel! Take care and God Bless. LISAK
P.S. I'm impressed by your packing. I can barely fit all my stuff in one suitcase for a week trip to Florida!
Hola Kristin!!!
Welcome to Santiago a little late.Travel Pod was misbehaving yesterday!Look forward to hearing about your new Chilean Home-away-from-Home and much more!!We mess you already I mean miss you.Hope you are felling better and closer to getting settled.Be careful and have an awesome fun time!!!!!!Love You,Teodoro

"When we bowled them (McMinn) up there (Athens) a week or so ago, they beat us by 500 pins, this week we lost by just 67," remarked Coach Burke. "We had a lot of close matches."
"We're improving every game," he assessed. "We're in a rebuilding year. The kids are putting in a good effort and it's showing."
The Cherokees claimed the match by a 20.5-6.5 tally, while McMinn took the girls' match 23.5-3.5.
"The final score doesn't sound like a close match, but when you look at the individual game scores, you can see many of them were decided by 10 pins either way," Coach Burke related.
In the boys' match, the Cherokee won all three rounds, taking the first set by just 29 pins, the second by 30 and the final round by only eight pins. McMinn took the total pin fall count by a 2,729-2,662 margin.
Bradley's Alec Norwood rolled his highest series of the season with a 581, featuring a 209 high game. Mitchell Baker posted a 200-game in his 475 series, while Ryan Chapman and Tanner Ratcliff had three-game tallies of 446 and 432 respectively.
Chloe Wallace topped the Bearette effort with a 377 series, while Callie Morgan posted a 327. Kealey Collins tied for the match's high game with a 177.
The Lady Cherokees claimed the final pin fall by a 2,219-1,995 margin.
Bradley will return to the Leisure Time Bowling Center on Tuesday when Silverdale Baptist Academy comes to roll. The Bear squads will host Chattanooga Central on Wednesday.

Your team makes hundreds of agreements with customers every day…but only a handful, usually fewer than 20%, create 80% of the value created in your sales process.
When the goal is execution of high-margin sales, you should focus first on these "critical few" agreements that drive bottom-line results.
In his best-selling book The Last Link, author Gregg Crawford (President and CEO of BayGroup International) explains:
Any given company's customer engagement process might require crafting hundreds of agreements. But typically there are no more than six to eight agreements that dictate the ultimate success of failure of the sales process and corporate strategy: the Pivotal Agreements…the agreements that are connected to the financial metrics of your corporate strategy.
Pivotal Agreements determine if your sales process leads to large, high-margin contracts. A key to profitable selling is identifying those Pivotal Agreements (which often happen early in the sales process), and developing strategies for executing them.
To learn more about embedding a sales execution discipline in your organization that gets the team to focus on Pivotal Agreement execution, visit here.

FIFA 13 vs PES 2013 face comparisons: which looks better?
For most, the annual footy battle between FIFA and PES comes down to gameplay – but not for everyone. Some fans base their decision of which game to back purely on visuals, lest their long-term enjoyment be affected by the wrong gel being applied to Joe Hart's hair, or Franck Ribery looking like a male model. For that reason alone we've put together this (literal) face-off between the pair – comparing the in-game likenesses of some of the greatest players on the planet. And Gervinho.
