Swansea City vs Arsenal Live Streaming English FA Cup 6/1/2013
Get ready to watch Swansea City vs Arsenal live stream streaming online on 6/1/2013. The live online stream commentary and live online radio broadcast English FA Cup match between Swansea City and Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium could have the Swans continue to hold the hoodoo over the Gunners as they have done since they were promoted to the English Premiership last season. Swansea City have in fact been hailed as the more incisive version of the Gunners before this live English FA Cup online streaming football game against Arsenal as they pass the ball around as well as their opponents but are infinitely more productive in terms of converting their chances. Now with Michael Laudrup at the helm at the Liberty Stadium, the Swans are even better in terms of attacking in this live streaming commentary and live online TV telecast English FA Cup match between Swansea City and Arsenal as the Dane has reduced the amount of aimless passing the Swans had previously indulged in under former manager Brendan Rodgers. Swansea City have not lost to Arsenal in two of the three times the two clubs have played each other since the Swans were promoted at the beginning of the 2011-12 season and have in fact looked stronger of the two teams. The last time both teams faced off was a few weeks back at the Emirates Stadium where Swansea City beat Arsenal 2-0 through a brace from Michu. The Gunners fans were united in voice and force during that game to boo their own team off the pitch after a sorry defeat. Swansea City have also beaten Arsenal previously despite having tons of players out through injury, in a 3-2 win at the Liberty Stadium that demonstrated their attacking quality as they tore the Gunners apart. There was also intense pressing by the Swansea players on Arsenal in all areas of the pitch, proving that they are definitely a shade of Barcelona. The Swans clearly outplay Arsenal at their own game and are even better at it, as they have incorporated a crucial Barcelona trait that Arsenal have failed to do well under Arsene Wenger and that is pressing the opposition players for the ball when they do not have it themselves. There is a far higher workrate in the Swansea City team than the Arsenal side and that is what sets them apart and probably gives them the edge to beat the Gunners in this FA Cup tie.
Watch as Arsenal are again facing questions about their ability to challenge for trophies this season in this live commentary and live streaming radio broadcast English FA Cup match between Swansea City and Arsenal as well as competing with the top teams to finish in the top four once again. Arsenal are in fact facing a serious possibility of not finishing in the top four in the league after this English FA Cup live online streaming soccer game against Swansea City and that could leave Arsene Wenger fielding a weaker lineup today in order to prioritise the league. However, that will definitely return to haunt him later on after this live stream commentary and live streaming online TV telecast English FA Cup match between Swansea City and Arsenal if the Gunners lose today and throw away their last realistic chance of winning a trophy this season. The Arsenal fans demand silverware and the Gunners have not won any in the last seven years going on to eight this year. There is also a distinct feel of complacency to this Arsenal side as they racked up four straight league wins in December before struggling to a 1-1 draw with Southampton when they should continue with the same intensity. Wenger appears to have lost his touch as well in fashioning a winning mentality and the French manager is often more preoccupied with the aesthetics of football rather than getting down to the business of why he has a job in the first place – to bring success and silverware to Arsenal. Swansea City may not have Michu in their ranks today due to injury but Danny Graham can do as much damage to the Arsenal defence as the Spaniard. Arsenal remains without About Diaby although the midfielder has returned to training, while Andre Santos, Lukasz Fabianski and Wojciech Szczesny are all unavailable to play against Swansea City.
The English FA Cup online stream game Swansea City vs Arsenal will be shown on many of the best major satellite TV and telecast networks, with live streaming online on Internet PCs, sopcast, streamtorrent, torrentstream, flash and online channels also available. Do not miss out on the games with the best and most reliable broadcasters and stations from the opening kickoff.

Hello, Ang,
This was highly recommended to me by Marta - so I had to read it.
Disturbing! But incredible. No cute little Hobbits running around the Shire. Much more realistic IMHO.
Definitely shuddered as I read it, but Bilbo's tenacity and faith in Frodo is beautiful. And to see the old 'thief' cut himself and Frodo from the bonds of a cunning spider in Hobbit disguise was delightful.
Brava! And thanks to Marta!

O wow! I really like the way you make Bilbo a believable actor in Shire clan politics. Some of the things in this story might be a bit too strong for my stomach but as a whole it's marvellous!
Your vision of the Shire in this story and "On merry Yule" is very much alive. Your "green sun" fits seamlessly with the world around it, it seems like it's always been there. Regardless of the fact that Tolkien himself would never have written about sexuality the way you have done.
I will probably never again read about hobbit society or Frodo without being reminded of your stories. I especially think it gives more depth to the relationship between Frodo and Gollum.

I'm tickled pink that you like the Shire stories so much. The stories are not to everyone's taste, it's true, but it is what the telling demanded.
Take care,

Legacy is one of the first stories I read at HASA. I was amazed at the sophistication used in describing the relationships among the Hobbits. By turns I thought the author was a professor, a wiccan, and a sociologist. I reread this often and have made a paper copy which I keep in a 3-ring binder. This story is great. I highly recommend this, and the accompanying nonfiction essay.

A Special Thank You to our Corporate Sponsors:
By: Daphne KenyonThis issue has been updated by LFDA editors.
This issue concerns the real property tax, which falls on land and buildings, and not personal property taxes or real estate transfer taxes.
New Hampshire is one of the few states in which both the state and local governments levy property taxes. Property tax rates are applied to the assessed value of a property. In practice assessed values can be above or below market value even though the standard of assessment in New Hampshire is 100 percent of market value.
Tax rates in New Hampshire vary by town and have four components: town tax rate, local education tax rate, state education tax rate, and county tax rate.
New Hampshire tax rates are expressed as tax liability per $1,000 of equalized assessed local valuation ("value"). Municipal property tax rates for 2008 ranged from $4.68 for the Town of New Castle to $32.59 for the Town of Claremont. The median total tax rate was $18; at this rate, taxes due on real estate assessed at $200,000 would be $3,600.
Because not all towns assess properties at 100 percent of market value, it is important to distinguish between nominal and effective or full value rates. Full value rates adjust property tax rates to take differing assessment/market sales ratios into account. In 2007, the latest year available, full value tax rates ranged from $3.49 for Hale's Location to $31.93 for Berlin.
In 2006, total assessed value in the state was $15 billion. Residential property accounted for the largest portion of assessed value (79 percent) followed by commercial and industrial property (16 percent).
All different kinds of property in New Hampshire are taxed uniformly, that is, at the same rate per $1,000 of value. For example, a single-family home is taxed at the same rate as an apartment building, a commercial building or industrial property.
Property taxes are used predominantly by local governments to finance schools, police and fire protection, trash collection, street maintenance, and public recreation, among other local services. The state property tax is used to fund K-12 education. New Hampshire derives 61 percent of its total state-and local taxes from property taxation, compared to 31 percent for the average state.
The burden of real estate taxes on New Hampshire citizens, when compared to other states, is a matter of considerable debate, because this burden can be measured in various ways. When effective property tax rates are considered, Manchester New Hampshire ranks between 13th and 45th among the each of the 50 states' largest cities, depending upon the type of property considered. When compared to personal income, in 2005 New Hampshire had the third largest property tax burden per capita at $2,034 per capita and the highest property tax burden as a share of personal income in the nation at $54.11 per $1,000 personal income.
A community's property tax rate is not a good measure of the property tax burden faced by the residents. A new entrant into a community typically pays less for a home with a high tax rate. This phenomenon is known as "tax capitalization." Thus two homeowners in different communities can face very different tax rates, but the same cost of housing. One homeowner can have high mortgage payments but a low property tax bill, while the other homeowner has low mortgage payments and a high property tax bill.
Some communities may have high property tax rates because they zone out commercial and industrial property and other communities have high property tax rates because they vote for more expansive government services. Although widely assumed to be regressive, researchers agree that the property tax is not generally so, and, to the extent that it is a tax on capital, it can be progressive. Furthermore, the property tax is more progressive than the sales tax.
Average property tax burdens in New Hampshire today are similar to those of 40 years ago, constituting 5.4 percent of personal income in 2005, only slightly higher than 5.3 percent in 1962. Property tax burdens were highest in 1972 and 1992, when property taxes as a percent of personal income exceeded 6 percent.
Rep. Janice Schmidt (D-Nashua) sponsored HB 1171, a 2014 bill that would have allowed active duty service members (not just retired) to receive the property tax credit for veterans. The House killed that bill March 19, 2014.Rep. Judith Spang (D-Durham) was the primary sponsor of HB 1195, a 2014 bill to study the impact of the property tax on businesses and residents. That bill passed the House but died in the Senate.Rep. Gary Daniels (R-Milford) sponsored HB 1333, a 2014 bill which allows towns to decrease the elderly property tax exemption if other income-earning adults live with the elderly resident. That bill also died in the Senate.Sen. Andy Sanborn (R-Bedford) sponsored SB 300, a 2014 bill that "establishes requirements and procedures for a municipality to calculate and set the applicable tax rates for property taxes." Gov. Maggie Hassan (D) signed that bill into law May 27, 2014.

Property taxes throughout the state continue to rise. Every legislative session, numerous bills are introduced that would attempt to decrease the property tax burden by introducing other taxes, like an income tax, but these attempts have repeatedly failed.Rep. Paul Henle (D-Concord) requested a 2015 bill to establish an income tax, then withdrew the request before the start of the 2015 legislative session.

The Sofa Hotel & Residences
No neighborhood in Istanbul exudes more European chic than Nisantisi. The Sofa Hotel is a prime example. Designed by renowned Turkish architect Sinan Kafadar, the 82 guest rooms contain a minimalist mix of light hardwood, marble, chrome, and strategic splashes of pomegranate red. Art is also a key ingredient, and exhibitions are frequently held in the lounge located on the top floor. For meals, guests can go on a specially designed tour of world cuisines in an avant-garde wonderland of blue-tinted glass and crystal at Supermarket by Longtable on the ground floor.
Room to Book:
Being situated on a busy commercial street, a room facing the central Japanese water garden is far more quiet.
Insider Tip:
Taking advantage of the many nearby grocery stores and shops can save you a bundle on incidental expenses at the Sofa Hotel, which can run five or more times the price in the room.

"It's church, family and softball," Moore said decidedly. "Growing up you had church first and then softball at my grandfather's — it was an every weekend thing. We had 42 first cousins, so we had enough to go around and change it out. We just loved it and my kids loved it, too."
Moore's love and appreciation for softball began at a young age, and, over the years, it is apparent it has never faded.
"I was never taught how to play softball. One day I just walked onto the field with a glove on my hand and was playing ball. My dad (Glen Tinsley) played when I was just a kid and he took us to the ballpark almost every Saturday night," Moore said of her own softball experiences. "When I was 11, I started playing for Ralph Rymer on the Lady Aces and played until I was an adult. Then I went to church and open league and played until I was 37. I retired from playing ball myself because my kids were playing ball."
Just over 15 years ago, girls softball in Bradley County was in a stagnant and disjointed state. Blue Springs Park, Industrial Park and Tinsley Park each had their own teams, and those teams never ventured farther than their own fields to find competition.
It was around this time that Moore's own daughters, Bridget and Heather, began to get involved in softball. The single-park play was lacking in variety and playing the same teams over and over again, according to Moore, became rather boring for the girls.
All that would change though, once Becky, her husband, Barry, and a few others came together to unite the varying parks and teams.
"My husband and I, along with David and Chris Heffington and Jimmy Ellis, got together about 15 years ago and took Blue Springs Park, Industrial Park and Tinsley Park, and organized them all together under Cherokee Girls Softball," co-founder Becky Moore explained. "The organization is actually run by Bradley Parks and Rec, but I still have the Cherokee Girls Association. We raise money through tournaments for the girls league."
The group of softball parents hit the ground running for the Cherokee Girls Association in 1998, and their reorganization efforts soon came to fruition.
"We chartered the group and got all the non-profit stuff so that it was a real group. We started it so that all the girls in Bradley County had the opportunity to play at each other's parks. Now we're all localized right at Industrial Park and Tinsley. It has worked out better because everybody gets to compete with each other and move around playing different teams," Moore explained.
Fundraising is vital for the continued success of the Cherokee Girls Association, and Moore still plays a pivotal roll in the group's fundraising efforts.
Moore has also worked at revitalizing a couple of iconic softball tournaments at the local parks, both the Coca-Cola Classic and the McDonald's Tournament.
"The first tournament we took over was the Coca-Cola Classic. Years ago this was huge, but then it started slacking off. It's just now starting to make a comeback," Moore said. "We've been doing the McDonald's tournament for the past 15 years. We had it two weekends ago and it was a success. It's started picking back up. It's still lower than where we were, but we're starting to get softball big in the Bradley County where it used to be. We start planning in December, and I post the tournament dates on different websites. About three weeks prior the tournament you usually start getting calls."
A portion of the proceeds taken in from the McDonald's Tournament are in turn donated to the Ronald McDonald House, an organization that Moore knows has benefited some Bradley County families along the way.
When the economy took a nosedive a few years ago, there was a noticeable drop in the tournament participation, but as of late Moore has seen the numbers begin to go back up to normal levels.
"The tournaments are now starting to pick momentum back up and work. Coca-Cola has always helped sponsor it, which helps go back into the girls association. Anything they do helps the kids and helps keep the parks up," explained the softball veteran.
It is Moore's love of softball and interest in helping other girls develop their skills that has ensured her longevity in the Cherokee Girls Association.
The softball tournaments help draw visitors to the area, as many teams travel to Cleveland to participate.
The Coca-Cola Classic, which will be held this coming weekend (June 7-8), had almost 30 teams registered for it as of May 28. Of those teams, only four are local.
"The Coca-Cola Classic is our big tournament and big fundraiser. It brings in a lot of out-of-town people, so it not only helps the organization but it helps the community as well," Moore explained. "This whole organization has been very community oriented.
"I played softball all my life; it was my sport," Moore commented. "We decided that we were going to be involved and just stayed there. I don't have any children playing anymore; I just couldn't get it out of my blood, I guess. I love being around all the kids."
In addition to her work with Cherokee Girls Softball, Moore found her softball involvement expanded recently.
"This past December I became the JO (Junior Olympics) director for this district under Rita Hannah," Moore explained. "I'm the deputy director for all Junior Olympic ASA softball here in this area, which is Polk County, Bradley County and up towards Athens. I'm trying to help make everything grow and pick back up."
On average, there are around 500 girls involved in the softball program in Bradley County. That means that over the past 15 years Moore's dedication and work with the Cherokee Girls Association has impacted the lives of some 7,500 girls.
To Moore, softball was an activity that helped keep her as well as her daughters out of trouble while growing up. The focus and activity that softball and other sports can provide to youngsters in the community are positives Moore is quick to emphasize.
"I work real hard trying to keep them busy — it gives them a focus. I think it helps their grades, keeps them focused on other things, so they tend to go on to higher education," Moore commented. "Whether it's softball, baseball or wrestling, it keeps the kids motivated and out of trouble. If a group of people can work together to keep these kids occupied and off the streets, they tend to stay out of trouble."
When asked her opinion on the impact she has had in the community, Moore is quick to downplay her personal involvement.
"I've never really thought about it — I don't think about what it is that I've done. I just hope that the girls go on and do good."
Instead of claiming too much credit, Moore chooses to recognize the efforts of all those involved and their impact as a whole.
"I've never really thought about an impact of what I was doing, because I don't really see it as me doing anything that somebody else couldn't be doing. There have been a lot of people behind us and behind the scenes that are really there helping just as much as I am," Moore stated.
"It's not about me at all. I don't do it for gratification or for anyone to recognize me; I'm doing it because these girls need it. The city and county budgets are really low right now, with the economy being the way that it is, so every dime we can raise to keep this organization going is what we're out there to do."

The Poor Man's Registrant Lookup
by Peter Askew
Here's a free way to get a sneak peek at a domain owner's portfolio.
[Editor's note: Peter Askew writes Domainer's Gazette. He's a relative newcomer to the domain industry but has found success. I'm a fan of his blog and writing style, so when he recently approached me about occasionally writing for Domain Name Wire I jumped at the opportunity. Below is his first article; I hope you like it. -Andrew]
"Man, you throw a nickel around like a manhole cover.â€
That comment was tossed onto my brother a few years back, and it's now bled into me.
Cheap. Penny pinching. Sanford and Son. Call me what you will. But if there's anything I like to keep my finger on, business-wise, it's expenses.
And lately, that couldn't be more true.
Down economy or not, though, I'm still buying names. Some through the drop, some by hand, but a majority have been direct – with end users who happen to own small portfolios.
Portfolio research can be tricky, though.
To perform proper research on a registrant's portfolio, and uncover names inside a users account, DomainTools offers a powerful tool through Registrant Search. But remember, I'm cheap. And Registrant Search can be expensive (if a lot of names are uncovered). What's needed is a baby step before a full report purchase. A free taster so to speak.
So, I racked my brain a few weeks back, to create an alternative. One that might provide a glimpse into a registrant's account, all for free.
And I think I uncovered one…
Introducing 'The Poor Man's Registrant Lookup'. Take a peek inside any domain portfolio, poke around, research, etc. – all for free. No, and let me repeat, No, it won't reveal an entire stash, but simply provides a neat slice snapshot of currently owned assets, and serves as an appetizer prior to a full report purchase.
How does it work? Well, mainly by leveraging Google. See, DomainTools allows Google to index its whois records. Meaning, if you visit mother Google, perform a "site:" command, along with a registrant's name (or business name), Google will pump back a snapshot of all the pages within DomainTools matching that query.
Here's an example – we'll use good ole Frank as an example (forgive me Frank).
First, I grab the Registrant Name from any Whois search tool. For Frank, I search RumCakes.com. The name listed on the account is 'Name Administration Inc.'.
Next, I jump to Google, and perform this search:
site:whois.domaintools.com "Name Administration Inc.â€
That search, in essence, is asking Google, 'search this domain, and pull up all results within your index with this quoted name.'
And bingo, Google jumps back and provides a snapshot. In this case, we're looking at roughly 2,600 results including HealthClaim.com, PlumbingSupplier.com, and ShippingSoftware.com.
Neat stuff (in my opinion).
And fyi, if you encounter Google's notification : "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 68 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.â€
Simply click the hyperlink 'repeat the search with the omitted results included', and the rest of the names will appear (sometimes with even more results than originally indicated).
Happy domaining!

Very neat, however, I didn't get it to work. I pasted the 'Frank' search as you've written it but it only returns your orignal post
Any suggestions?
Didn't work for me either.
Awesome tip here. I ordered a registrant search once from Domain Tools on Aarol Wall of SeoBook. It was mainly old junk websites he started but there was definitely some insight and things to learn.
hmm.. seems wordpress is is altering the 'quote' keystroke..
try this:
site:whois.domaintools.com "Name Administration Inc."
or if that doesn't work, remove the quotes that you cut and paste, and hand type those in.. it should work after that..
I'v been something very similar for a while now which can sometimes show far more results.
I don't think this is really a good thing for some people to know how to do.
Too many scammers about, I did try and moan about it to domaintools but he does'nt seem to give a toss.
I would think he's breaking a few rules concerning peoples privacy by having so much info splattered all over Google.
VERY cool and cheap.
Certainly doesn't give you any where near the whole portfolio but does give a good sample as you suggest.
Thanks for the article.
Nice :). I wonder why Google won't index them all with the same owner name.
Neat though, snoop around. But still no good if privacy proxy is used
oh,Didn't work for me…:(
Cool! got it to work now. If you add (BVI) to the end of "Name administration Inc." you get 17,000 results
i like how you think… but, it didn't work for me
Alas, this didn't really work. I was after somebody with eight domains and none turned up. Of my few hundred, only about six turned up.
Great idea – but we need to find a better way.
Does not work for me at all. Looks like it work on what google crawls and obviously google does not crawl everything. i am beginning to find google search irritating and lack focus. You search for something and it throws you with all sorts of other sites. The worse of google search is when it shows what you looking for in its abstract but when you go to the site, it is something else all together. Google sucks.
I did not mince my words and rightly so.
Thank you for the great tip. This proved to be very useful and cost effective for a one-time search!

A new limited-time bonus for the Southwest Premier card from Chase was announced today. Upon completing the relatively low minimum spend of $2,000 within three months, you'll receive 50,000 Rapid Rewards points [expired].
Southwest doesn't operate on the type of redemption chart that some of the other airlines do (US Airways, for instance, gives a set price in miles depending on the origin and destination). Instead, Southwest converts points into a dollar amount. They have three types of fare: Business Select, Anytime, and Wanna Get Away.
Business Select converts points at 120 per dollar. Anytime converts at 100 per dollar. And Wanna Get Away converts at 60 per dollar.
A flight from Los Angeles to New York on a sample date in December, for example, has three fares: Business Select at $1,226 round-trip, Anytime at $1,170 round-trip, and Wanna Get Away at $262 round-trip. Converting to points this would cost you 147,120 points for Business Select and 117,000 for Anytime. But on Wanna Get Away it would only cost you 15,720. That means you could actually get three round-trip tickets between LA and New York for this bonus!
If you're looking for domestic travel, Southwest is always a great option to get you where you want to go. And the new Chase Southwest Premier bonus is a welcome addition just in time for holiday travel! You can apply here through our affiliate link.
Update: Just to clarify, the regular Southwest card is also a 50,000 point offer. The Premier card had previously been a 25,000 offer. The only difference between the two cards currently is the Premier anniversary bonus is 6,000 points compared to 3,000 for the regular card, and the Premier has a $99 fee, while the regular has a $69. We're hearing this 50,000 point offer for the Premier is a limited-time offer, though there's no word if it will be reduced again to 25,000.

Reflections on the Orthodox faith and life in this crazy 21st century world by an Orthodox priest and a few of his friends.
That wasn't too bad! Check out "I hog the ground" by Steve. It's his children's ode to the groundhog. Very cute.
I agree about Joe. When they went to Joe it was Blue's Clues "jumping the shark" moment. Just never the same.

We came back from another series of seminars. I tell you seminars are good but so often they can drain energy right out of you--sitting for hours. The classes are filled with a lot of information and we learn, but when the lights are dimmed it can be hard to stay awake.
Several of the companies in the trade show are our buddies, it is nice to talk with them out side of farm visits. A farm visit is strictly business and move on--the reps have to visit several farms a day and the farmer has to get his work done, so little time to have friendly conversations. At the shows we can have general pleasant talks with out being rushed.
Don't get me wrong we do work at the shows, just different type. For instances--one of our buddies works for a large seed company from Europe and when we talk he gives me seeds that has not reached the U.S. yet...so I can test the seeds out to see how they do. Some of the seeds are distinct to closed regions of Europe and others are improved varieties. I do not get a lot of seeds, but if there is a variety pleasing to my green thumb he gets me more for a fee of course.

Meet an Idealist Staff Member: Megan O'Leary on teamwork
Megan O'Leary, Community Relations Manager at Idealist, will be the first to admit that working on a team is hard. Really hard.
"It's some of the hardest work we can do. I tell groups of people all the time, if you think it's easy, you're probably missing something," the AmeriCorps alumna with City Year says. "But I think it can be really worth it."
With the Idealist Network, Megan's evolving role is part-cheerleader, part-resource, part-guide. So far she's been reaching out to Teams with upcoming meetings, troubleshooting any problems, and in general, being a source of support for Connectors.
Being a part of a team is her favorite way to get work done. From her time with City Year, Megan has a ton of experience working with others toward a common goal.
She started out twelve years ago implementing service learning projects with middle school students in San Jose, California then formally came on board City Year as a fundraiser. Before long, she was leading the team as Deputy Director.
Then she moved to Sacramento in 2011 where she was in charge of opening a new site. It was a crazy time – her team was made up of strangers thrown together from ten different City Year sites and they had six months to open the doors.
As the new kids on the block, they worked extra hard to build bridges with the community, and get to know the systems already in place.
While reflecting on all these experiences, Megan's had some realizations about what it's meant to be a part of a team all these years, which as an only child, she admits she's drawn to.
"Something I really struggled with in my first year of AmeriCorps is that I couldn't always tell if the people on my team cared as much as me. There were any number of ways I felt offended that they weren't always demonstrating their commitment in a way I thought was satisfactory or identical to what I was doing," she says. "But I think everyone's 100% looks different. You can't give 100% everyday. You give what you can when you can."
Her other advice for Connector Teams? Have a shared goal. Figure out what you're doing and more importantly, why. Take the time to get know each other on a human level and share a meal. Realize the value you bring to the table. Appreciate one another. Lean into the process even if it seems scary.
"This might be hard or feel funky, but try it anyway. What do you have to lose?" she says.
Megan would love to help your Team and hear what you're up to. Whether you're wondering what should be on the agenda to how best to do local outreach to which tech tools to use, Megan's here for you. Get in touch: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Modern corporate networks are complex systems that typically consist of terminal servers, server clusters and other types of nodes.
Infrastructure like this demands the highest levels of protection, with file servers requiring dedicated software that won't just protect data from the latest malware, but will also provide uninterrupted performance under the heaviest load conditions with minimal effect on network efficiency. Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Servers Enterprise Edition has been developed specifically for networks like this, making it easy to protect your most valuable business resources today and in the future.
In modern heterogeneous networks, a single virus can spread very quickly as it is virtually impossible to isolate a newly detected network infection immediately. Corporate users often place various files into file storages, thus exposing all nodes on the corporate network to risk, from workstations to shared file storage facilities.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8 for Windows uses Kaspersky's latest technologies to protect Windows workstations and servers on corporate networks.
Kaspersky Security Center provides centralized administration for Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8 for Windows on workstations and file servers. From this central console, you can install, configure, and update Kaspersky Lab endpoint solutions on your network – on physical machines or virtual machines.
To find out more about these central administration features, please see Kaspersky Security Center.
You can install Kaspersky Anti-Virus 8.0 for Windows Servers Enterprise Edition on a server running either 32- or 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows. For installing and operating the program on a computer you will need Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 installed. The server must be running one of the following versions of Microsoft.
You can install Kaspersky Anti-Virus 8.0 for Windows Servers Enterprise Edition on the following terminal servers: Microsoft Terminal based on Windows 2008 Server Microsoft Terminal based on Windows 2003 Server Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 Citrix XenApp 4.5, 5.0 and 6.0

Quoted Text Isn't in O's nature to be more aggressive?
Quoted from O Woe Is Me By the way, found this chart of blood type distribution at:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_typeAlso a chart of blood type compatibility (in terms of transfusions). Pretty interesting stuff.
Quoted from Kenks Apropos the blood type distribution - as an A I find it rather comforting that in Norway and Sweden, top countries with the highest life expectancy, about 50% of population is type A.
Quoted from Goldie How come this poll tells me I voted for it .. when I never did?

Hey all.
Apparently I am not smart and did not buy the black cowboy shirts (the ones without the vest) when they came out around Halloween. I don't even remember seeing them. So.....I was wondering if anyone would have one they would trade and what they are looking for. I have some rare costume pieces and furniture. Also several rare pins.
Please let me know.

Photos: Scott Gessler votes "yes" on Filipino food, "no" on criticism of his office
Politicians -- they're just like the rest of us! But sometimes, when they eat food, it has a bit more significance than just, you know, lunch. Such was the case with Secretary of State Scott Gessler's noon stop yesterday at the 16th Street Mall's Taste of the Philippines food truck -- whose owner just so happens to be featured in one of Gessler's advertisements encouraging Colorado residents to register to vote. Big photos below.
It was a fun lunch break for Gessler, who continues to face criticism for both his efforts to weed out illegal voters, and even for his campaign dedicated to increasing voter registrations. While some of his critics and county clerks across the state have spoken out against this registration effort, Gessler continually argues that the unprecedented $850,000 initiative targeted at getting more people registered has been a huge success. He is announcing the official results of voter registration today at an 11 a.m. press conference.
And one of the people who played a small part in his ad campaign got a chance to meet Gessler for the first time yesterday -- the last day that Colorado residents could register to vote for the upcoming election. It was also a first for Gessler, who said he doesn't think he's ever eaten Filipino food. Sam Levin Scott Gessler eating chicken adobo on the 16th Street Mall, with Taste of Philippines owner Kathy Gietl.
Kathy Gietl, the owner of A Taste of the Philippines food truck on 16th and Champa, served Gessler chicken adobo, manok sa gata and lumpia -- all traditional Filipino dishes. The secretary of state ate his lunch at a small table on the 16th Street Mall, alongside his spokesman, Rich Coolidge.
"It's sort of neat. I've been looking at that poster, and I was like, we've gotta hunt her down and give her a copy of it," Gessler said. "She was great on camera.... It's just sort of neat to meet the people that were in it, who helped us out."
As part of the registration initiative announced in early September, the secretary of state's office launched television, radio, print and online ads.
Here's one of the spots, with Gietl featured at the 0:11 mark.
The ad campaign features an actor, local comedian Jordan Doll, going around the state asking random people he stops if they've registered to vote. Everyone else featured in the commercials are just random individuals -- and for the most part are impossible to track down.
But an intern for Gessler's office was able to find Gietl and her popular food truck on the Mall.
So Gessler decided to have a quick lunch visit with her and deliver one of the posters that features her.
"It's awesome -- I'm all giddy," said Gietl, 29, as Gessler chowed down. "It's great for business...and it's my little fifteen minutes of fame."
She said she was happy to participate in the ad as long as she didn't have to discuss her own political views or which candidate she would be voting for in November.
"A lot of people think voting doesn't matter, but it does," she said, adding that she hopes more people registered to vote because of the commercial. Sam Levin Scott Gessler and Kathy Gietl, with the registration ad that he took to her yesterday.

Bartender Ivy Mix lives up
to her last name. She's one of New York City's best bartenders (and a Speed Rack co-founder), and she's mixed her fair share of classic cocktails. So we
couldn't think of a better person to tell use what she thinks are the top five
cocktails everyone should know how to make—here are her picks. And head here for a fun Q&A with Mix, who with Speed Rack co-founder Lynnette Marrero was named Imbibe's 2013 Drinks Ambassador of the Year in the Imbibe 75 Issue.
1. Old Fashioned. "Sugar, booze and bitters. Once you get this basic
formula, you can substitute whatever you'd like—try it with rum and brown sugar,"
says Mix. "Or maybe gin or Pisco and honey? Learn and then expand." Click here
for the recipe.
2. Last Word. "The king (in my opinion) of the equal parts
cocktails," says Mix. "It's amazing and interesting, and you get to drink
Chartreuse! And like the Old Fashioned, once you know it you can substitute
things out—rye, tequila." Click here for the recipe.
3. Manhattan. "Classic, delicious," says Mix. "Play around with
the proportions you like, whether its 2:1 3:1 4:1 1:1. It's all good, and all
changes depending on the spirit, vermouth and bitters." Click here for the
4. Sidecar. "Fancy and sophisticated, but easy to make and
drink," says Mix. Click here for the recipe.
5. Whiskey Sour. "Because fresh lemon and sugar and a little egg
white makes this drink WAY better than maybe we remember from dive bars and
sour mix," says Mix. Click here for the recipe.

I cannot think of a restaurant that I've been as disappointed in as Taka.
The first thing you should know about this place is that the servings are tiny. When you browse through their menu, do not make the mistake of thinking that maybe the actual servings are bigger than they appear in the picture. We ordered the red snapper and the serving was three 1"x2"x0.5" cuts of fish that did not even taste good. I was simply shocked when it arrived. In addition, the scales on that tiny fish were not removed well. I choked on both scales and fishbone and I needed to throw up just to dislodge those items from my throat -- I was already spitting blood because of the fish scales.
Second, the selection is limited. I'm not exactly sure if this was what they intended to achieve when they said "Modern Japanese". But I know I would've been more forgiving if their limited selection tasted good at least. It did not. We had the chicken sukiyaki and it tasted like it was just boiled. Plain boiled.
Third, the food was NOT cheap. We paid PhP 1,100 and we felt it was such a waste of money. Better just go to the Italian place beside it or walk further up the road to get to the other restaurants. (F and I ended up going to Wursty Wursty because the experience in Taka was nothing short of bad trip ).
(I'm thinking of giving this place 2 stars but F pointed out that there was no tissue in the comfort room. The space inside the restaurant was very cramped. The lighting was flat. And the server forgot our other order. So there.)

Business Management Degrees
Business management is the study of how to best organize, orchestrate, and control a company's activities. If you have strong communication and analytical thinking skills, and enjoy working in leadership roles, business management could be the right major for you. Students in this field of study can expect courses in business policy, strategy, finance, statistics, human resources, and business law. Most classes will be lectures or seminars, but many schools may also require internships and computer-based lab courses as part of their program. For those researching online degrees, business management is a popular major, widely available through distance learning. Business management graduates have a variety of career options and may end up working as project managers, human resource professionals, management analysts, or sales managers.
Classes and Assignments of a Business Management Major
Students studying business management can expect a combination of lecture, seminar, internship, and some computer-based lab courses. Common topics include business policy, finance, human resources management, logistics, decision making, and business law. Students will also likely take courses in communications and psychology. Many schools incorporate internship courses into their business programs to help students gain real-world experience prior to entering the workforce. As far as course work, students will typically be expected to complete problem sets, situational exercises, in-class discussions, exams, papers, and presentations. Some courses, such as statistics, may also have a computer-based lab component.
Degree Levels for a Business Management Major
- Associate. While online bachelors business management degrees and online masters business management degrees are the most commonly sought degrees, online associate business management degrees may be a useful stepping stone towards further study in the field. Graduates with simply an associate degree may qualify for entry-level administrative assistant positions in the industry, but opportunities for advancement are limited.
- Bachelor's. Business management majors at the bachelor's level can expect to begin their study with introductory business, economics, and communications courses. More advanced topics may include business policy, finance, human resources management, business law, decision making, and logistics. Most schools also have general education requirements all undergraduates must meet to earn their degree. Graduates of with a business management major are qualified to pursue entry-level positions in project management, human resources, business analysis, and sales.
- Master's. At the master's level, students will take advanced courses in business management, typically within an area of specialization. In addition, students will conduct research, often applicable to real-life work situations. Working professionals can find a number of options to further their education through self paced online masters degree programs. Graduates with online masters business management degrees may pursue careers in project management, human resources, management analysis, or sales.
- Doctoral. If you are interested in pursuing a career in academia or are trying to put yourself in a better position to advance to upper-level management, a doctoral degree could prove to be one of the most useful college degrees. Busy professionals have a number of options for completing their post grad online. Graduates of a doctoral program in business management may teach at the college level or pursue upper-level positions in project management, management analysis, human resources, or sales.
A Future as a Business Management Major
Business management majors can work in a variety of industries such as manufacturing, health care, or government. They may fill positions as project managers, analysts, human resources professionals, or sales managers. While a bachelor's degree can qualify you for entry-level positions, a master's degree is recommended for the best advancement opportunities. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, management analysts earned a median salary of $73,570 in 2008, and sales managers earned a median annual wage of $98,530 in 2010. However, these statistics are estimates. Actual starting salaries can vary based on your level of experience, education, the type of employer, geographical location, and the general job market.

Nose Surgery in Baltimore
As the central feature of the face, the nose plays an important role in one's overall appearance. At his Baltimore plastic surgery center, Dr. Ronald Schuster utilizes the rhinoplasty procedure to help individuals concerned about the size or shape of their nose achieve a more proportionate and attractive look.
Purpose of Rhinoplasty:
- To improve outside appearance of nose
- To straighten and fix a crooked or broken nose
- To improve breathing through the nose
- To improve facial balance and symmetry
Video: Rhinoplasty
Read below to learn more about rhinoplasty in Baltimore with Dr. Schuster and see how this facial plastic surgery can help you enhance your appearance. Or, schedule your consultation today via our contact form or by calling 410-902-9800.
Rhinoplasty Techniques:
- Every nose and face is different. It's important to evaluate each person's likes and dislikes about their nose. Dr. Schuster does not do the same nose on everyone. Many changes can be performed in order to improve appearance and keep the nose in good balance with the rest of the face. During your consultation at our Maryland center, he can determine if rhinoplasty is appropriate for you based on your unique goals and needs
- An open rhinoplasty technique is used about 80 percent of the time. This method provides for full view of structures of the nose, which allows for more precision. It is especially useful for irregular tips and secondary (redo) surgery. All incisions are on the inside except one on the undersurface.
- Closed rhinoplasty is used 20 percent of the time. This technique may be used when little change is needed in the tip. All incisions are on the inside of nose.

i have 3 windows i had installed 3 years ago with a 3/4 inch constant force balance which are 32 x 54 in size ( double hung). from day one the top sash would come down rather easily when closing the bottom. my installer said thats just how the manufacturer adjusted the balance tension. is there anyway to tighten/ adjust the tension of the balance so the top doesnt come down so easily? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by HomeSealed (My Page) on Tue, Jul 24, 12 at 23:45
Can you post a pic of the mechanism? Some manufacturers have an adjujstment "kit", which is essentially a little set screw that self-threads into a hole in the plastic case. This spreads the case apart, creating more friction and helping the window stay up. |
You could also ask if the next higher force balance is an option (typically, additional coils are added to increase counterbalancing force). This would require a service call. |
- Posted by HomeSealed (My Page) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 19:00
+1 to Trapper's comment, although most manufacturers will probably try to avoid that. Does the top sash "drift" down on its own, or does it only go down when the lower sash is closed, thereby pulling it down? If the latter, it could also be a matter of a poorly installed/adjusted/built window, in that the interlock is hanging up. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 20:02
Post a picture of the balance. Many times, you can tight the screw that holds the balance mechanism in place and effectively add a bit of "tension". Be careful with this approach as you can create operational issues too if overdone. |
where are those screws that you can tighten located? |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Thu, Jul 26, 12 at 7:08
Depends on the balance system. The screw I am referring to goes through the balance assembly and holds it to the frame. |
- Posted by Jumpilotmdm (My Page) on Sun, Jul 29, 12 at 14:35
Most windows are serviceable at least to this extent. Sorry that your installer doesn't have the time or inclination to come and adjust them for you, but it would probably be fairly easy. |

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Billionaire Warren Buffett is again calling for higher taxes on the "ultra-rich" and he's urging Congress to compromise on spending cuts and tax increases.
Buffett expressed his views on fiscal policy in an opinion article Monday in The New York Times.
In the article, Buffett mocked the idea that investors would pull back if capital gains taxes increase. Buffett says he's never seen that happen.
The head of the conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway Inc. reiterated his call for a minimum tax of 30 percent on income between $1 million and $10 million, and a 35 percent rate for income above that.
Buffett says both Republicans and Democrats will have to make major concessions to put the nation on a fiscally sound path, but he says Americans won't accept anything less.

Questioning the fate of 25 mans in Wrath {WoW}
May 9th 2008 5:03PM blizzard said in an interview with curse ( i think so ) that they're considering waiting until the 25 man version of the instances i beaten for the 10 man version of the instance to be opened. This way you have something to still offer that "exclusive" feeling for the 25 man raids. They haven't said that's what they're doing, but they are considering your point of view.
Either way, i think it's interesting and it'll be really nice for those of us that enjoy raiding or have in the past, but don't have the time for it anymore. Making it into a more casual 10 man raid will make things alot easier. I don't even mind if i don't get amazing gear, to me it's the progression that matters.

Don't expect PvE to PvP transfers anytime soon {WoW}
Apr 12th 2008 9:31PM I personally would be very much for some kind of variation on this server transfer. I have a 70 warrior and a 70 shaman that i leveled and progressed on a PvP server, but transfered to a PvE server for a very very short period of time due to complications in guilds and other things. They're now stuck there and can't be moved back.
I wish that i could move them back, but it looks like luck with PvE to PvP transfers will not change.
I would like to say that i completely agree with the idea of no PvE to PvP transfers as it would definitely be easier to lvl on a PvE server than a PvP server. I just don't see myself as really fitting into that category.
Why does everyone want to DPS? {WoW}
Apr 23rd 2007 11:59AM It is important to note that while DPS, it is probably harder to find a group. When i tell people on my warrior that i would like to DPS, i often get snubbed and given the ultimatum to tank or gtfo.
When i was elemental on my shaman(60-70 grind and a little time post 70 ding), i had an extremely hard time finding groups, and when i did find them, i was 9/10 asked/forced to heal. Granted this was 2 weeks after BC started so, there may not have been as many healers around to give proper group makeup as there is now.
Why does everyone want to DPS? {WoW}
Apr 23rd 2007 11:54AM I have a 70 fury warrior and a 70 resto shaman and i appreciate healing/tanking/DPS all the same. The only thing i feel that i'm good enough at in raids is healing on my shaman, however i find DPSing an tanking to be rather easy to do aswell. DPSing is prolly the most rewarding because you see "big numbers" fly up on the screen often. I'd prolly rather get a 2.5k bloodthrist crit than a 6-7k healing wave crit (although both are nice to see).
Another thing is, i feel that DPS are better "rounded out" when in comparison to healers and tanks. It's harder for healers and tanks to solo PvP or to farm efficiently, whereas for a DPS class, it's alot easier to do both of these.
Patch 2.0.10 patch notes are upon us! {WoW}
Feb 24th 2007 5:33PM I'm extremely happy to see the shaman buffs this patch. I'm sad to see that they came 2 days after i specced out of elemental, but i'll go back next patch now that i won't have any sustainability issues :P.
Forum Post of the Day: Funniest corpse graffiti {WoW}
Feb 24th 2007 5:25PM The night before the 5th or 6th harry potter book got released, someone took a few corpses and wrote out "snape is the halfblood prince and kill dumbledore" right at the entrance of orgrimmar.
It was pretty funny.
Midnight launch event: Burning Crusade, Southern style {WoW}
Jan 18th 2007 1:37AM I was thinking about going out to the midnight release(i'm from raleigh aswell), but i had some hw to do (i also go to NCSU) and i was reluctant because i haven't played in a few months. I'm looking forward to this weekend where i'm going to be in search of a copy...assuming that there's somewhere in raleigh that still has them in stock :O.
It's interesting to see that there are that many WoW players here in raleigh. I knew there were a bit at NCSU, but i didn't think there were that many in raleigh :P.

Start time: 8:00 PM ET
Channel: Sportsnet One
Probable starting lineups
Toronto: Jose Calderon, DeMar DeRozan, James Johnson, Amir Johnson, Aaron Gray
New Orleans: Greivis Vasquez, Marco Belinelli, Trevor Ariza, Gustavo Ayon, Chris Kaman
Injury report
Toronto: No word on Andrea Bargnani's return yet.
New Orleans: Eric Gordon, Carl Landry, Emeka Okafor and Jason Smith are all out.
The New Orleans Hornets are a team being held together with scotch tape and chewing gum. They have the second-worst record in the NBA at 8-26, and they host the Raptors tonight while missing their two best players (Gordon and Okafor) and two key bench players (Landry and Smith). That doesn't mean this squad is a pushover — this same lineup beat the Knicks in New York two weeks ago.
With Gordon out of the lineup, the primary scoring duties fall upon Trevor Ariza and Deliverance aficionado Chris Kaman. Those are not names that tend to strike fear in opponents' hearts, but it's worth noting that the Hornets have performed better than their record shows. They have the same "expected w0n-loss record" (based on overall point differential) as the Raptors at 11-23.
It will be interesting to see how DeMar DeRozan plays tonight after he was benched for the entire fourth quarter last night and sent out an angry tweet, which he later deleted. While I can understand DeMar's frustration, he hasn't played well enough this season that he should feel entitled about playing time. Andrea Bargnani (when healthy) and Jose Calderon have been the only Raptors to play at an NBA starter level this season.
On the off-chance you haven't watched the latest "Dancing Hedo" video from The Basketball Jones yet, here you go…

When staying in Brooklyn, I often think of a line from the Tom Waits song "I'll Take You New York," where he asks, "Hey , do you have two tens for a five?" You can easily spend ALL of your money here in no time at all.
We are staying with our lovely friends Lauren and Aaron. They've got a great place in Brooklyn and we've basically moved in this month. Between the Conan show and this week we'll have stayed with them 7 nights. They are too kind. The photo at the top of this blog is of their cat Fergie. She is a sweet cat. We had a photo shoot with her this morning and I think it went really well. She seems happy.
Joel and I are on the lap tops now, he's checking emails and I'm here doing this. Gonna try and go for a walk in Prospect Park today, then meet our friend Marshall for lunch. Thanks to our friends Meagan and Jeff for having us over for a Bar-B-Q last night at their place in Williamsburg. Jeff cooked some wonderful food and we played horse shoes. A really good night.
Tonight we play Union Hall here in Brooklyn.....More soon....
Off to get a shoe shine.
