Bone Man's Note:
This recipe is truly a "scratch" one but, after your culinary efforts, your guests will be mightily pleased to have tasted a pasta salad that is bright, new, and delicious. You will not find this recipe anywhere else because it took me about 6 months to develop it and I have only posted it HERE on Recipezaar! I wanted a pasta salad that used an Italian-based dressing and which packed a LOT of flavor, slightly creamy. Through much research, a few false starts and, blind luck, I got the pasta salad that I wanted. It's fairly easy to put together but it does take some time. It's great for a covered dish or as a side dish to either fried chicken or pork chops. I plan to use it for summer barbecues as well. And, once again, I have to thank Dee514 for her spectacular Italian Spice Blend recipe (Italian Blend Spice Mix) which I have listed in the directions and which is an integral ingredient. For SAINT PATRICK'S DAY, use all GREEN PASTA (spinach pasta)! I hope you enjoy this pasta salad as much as I do.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) Most husbands, when they're sent to sleep in the guest room, are in trouble. For John Carmack, it's a reward.
The video game industry's premier coding maestro (and the mind behind some of its most visually spectacular games, including the recently released "Doom 3") became a father for the first time last month. Typically, that means a lot of sleepless nights. Carmack, though, can't function like that.
"I've never been one of those programmers that works effectively on short amounts of sleep," he said. "I've always needed eight hours."
With son Christopher only sleeping a few hours at a time, Carmack's wife Anna gave the id Software co-founder permission to call the upstairs guest room home for a bit.
"My wife is really wonderful about the situation," he said. "I spend a couple of hours a day in the morning and the evening helping take care of the baby, but my wife has gone out of her way to make sure that I'm able to do the things I want to do."
Chief among those things are building orbital rocket ships and working on id's next game. Lately, though, he's found his interest in rocket ships surpassing his interest in coding video games. He's definitely on board for one more title, but Carmack's future as a video game programmer is growing increasingly hazy.
"I wouldn't hazard to look too far ahead," he said. "I'm definitely going to see through this round of rendering work. I wouldn't make any promises beyond that."
Should he decide to move on from building game engines, it would undoubtedly bring about cries of anguish from the gaming world. His groundbreaking work on such seminal titles as "Doom" and "Quake" has elevated Carmack to celebrity status amongst gamers - and a position of respect amongst peers.
"John is one of the leading minds in the graphics industry," said Dan Vivoli, senior vice president of marketing for graphic chip maker nVidia (NVDA: Research, Estimates). "The thing we like the most about him is he pushes the edge of our technology. There aren't that many people who understand both deep graphics technology as well as game development's look and feel. It takes a special mind to create that bridge."
Still, after 10 years of building game engines, Carmack's passion for coding has faded somewhat. So has his passion for gaming. The last video game he played and truly enjoyed was id's 1999 release "Quake III".
"I very much appreciated the simplicity and purity of it," he said. "Since then, I'll play a little bit of the games of our competitors, but nothing has grabbed me enough that I wanted to keep playing."
While he mulls his future in the industry he helped create, Carmack is building the engine for id's next game. So far, the company has not divulged many details, other than it will be a new franchise, likely in the horror/action genre and it will probably be a first person shooter.
"Visually," Carmack teases, "it's going to be a pretty good step above what we've shown in 'Doom'."
The company's also hoping for a shorter turnaround time than the four-year development cycle of "Doom 3."
"We really, really want to get it done in the next two years," Carmack said.
Games still pay the bills. But Tuesdays and Saturdays are rocket days. As the leader of Armadillo Aerospace, Carmack has been involved in the chase for the X-Prize, a $10 million bounty promised to the first amateur team that builds and flies a manned craft into space. Winning the prize is pretty much out of the question now, particularly after an Aug 7 crash that completely destroyed the team's vehicle. ("It's a good thing Doom 3 is selling very well..." cracked Carmack on the team's Website after the crash.) But Armadillo plans to see its work through to completion regardless.
You see, instead of being frustrated with the crash, Armadillo is excited. Failures, especially catastrophic ones, explains Carmack, allow industries to approach things from a different angle which can result in tremendous advances.
"One of the reasons microcomputers progressed so fast is people are willing to accept crashes," he said. "It's faster to build something and try it even if it means you'll have to rebuild later. ... If you spent too much time building and massaging one vehicle, you don't learn anything."
Some might view building rockets as a child's dream gone awry, but Carmack sees a financial future in it. Within the next 10 years, he expects orbital journeys to be a reality. And don't be surprised, he said, if it happens within the next six or seven years.
As for the returns: "I think there's decent money to be made - something in the tens of millions in orbital journeys."
But it's as much an intellectual journey for Carmack as it is a financial one. And if Armadillo is successful in ushering in an era of commercial space flight, Carmack will have achieved one of his goals.
"I like working on things that have leverage," he said. "I like building the [game] engine that's going to be used in a half-dozen titles. The core of what I do is solve problems, whether that's in graphic engine flow or rockets. I like working on things that are going to have an impact one way or the other."

UK companies wish to assist and invest in projects to build financial centres, urban railways and Long Thanh international airport for Vietnam's strong development.
The visiting UK Minister of State for Trade and Investment Lord Green told Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Le Hoang Quan on June 11.

Green said his visit aims to devise specific programmes to invest in Vietnam and the city in particular. He said he hopes dialogues and exchanges between the city leaders and UK partners on the public-private partnership (PPP) model will benefit the city's urban development.
Quan expressed his belief that the visit will help make it easier for potential UK companies to invest in the city.
At present, HCM City is home to 50 UK representative offices with 30 projects worth nearly US$600 million.
He said bilateral ties are yet to meet their potential, and there remain various fields that need stronger collaboration in the coming time.
While introducing plans for urban railway projects and Thu Thiem new urban area, the host expressed his wish that UK investors will provide official development assistance for urban railway No. 4 and engage in the Thu Thiem new urban area project.
He added that he hopes the city can learn from the UK's experience in science research, financial and urban development.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - U.S. payroll growth kicked back into gear in November, the government said Friday, in a report showing the labor market recovering from its post-Katrina weakness.
Employers added 215,000 jobs to payrolls last month, the Labor Department reported, up from a revised 44,000 in October. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast a gain of 210,000.
The numbers gave the Bush administration reason to cheer.
"We have every reason to be optimistic about our economic future," President Bush said in a mid-morning news conference at the White House.
Bush said November's strong job growth was due to what he said was a policy of cutting taxes and restraining spending and pledged to continue with that strategy.
But outgoing Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan had a different take on the state of the economy. (Click here for that story.)
"We're not going to rest until every American who wants a job finds one," Bush said.
The unemployment rate held steady at 5 percent, also in line with economists' forecasts.
The gain in November payrolls now matches average job growth during the first eight months of the year, before Hurricane Katrina hit in late August, temporarily derailing the job market.
The government's September payroll report initially had shown the first decline in employment in more than two years, although Friday's report revised that to a gain of 17,000 jobs. And October job growth had come in below forecasts even before it was revised lower in the most recent report.
"This is another affirmation that we've gotten over the shock of the hurricanes and the economy is back on track to where it was before," said Mark Vitner, senior economist with Wachovia Securities.
The gains were broad based, with construction adding 37,000, manufacturing payrolls growing by 11,000 and business and professional services adding 29,000. The retail sector added just 9,000 jobs, although those numbers are seasonally adjusted for the holiday shopping season.
"Today's employment report also has sustainability written all over it," said Anthony Chan, senior economist with JPMorgan Asset Management, noting strength across the economy.
Average hourly earnings rose 3 cents to $16.32, which was in line with forecasts.
During the last 12 months, average wages are up 3.2 percent, less than the 4.3 percent gain in prices during the 12 months ending in October, according to Labor Department numbers, meaning the average hourly paycheck lost ground to inflation during the last year.
The average work week fell slightly, the department said, slipping to 33.7 hours from 33.8 hours in October. Chan said that one was the one area that suggested softness in an otherwise strong report.
"As for forward momentum, this report also raises a few concerns especially when one focuses on the decline in the length of the average workweek," he said. "Declines in the work week typically signal a loss in future job creation momentum."
On Wall Street, stocks and bonds edged lower after the report.
There had been some worry on Wall Street that a much stronger-than-forecast gain would send stock and bond prices sharply lower because it would have fed recent fears that the Federal Reserve would have to keep raising interest rates more aggressively than investors now expect.
"This report should soothe the fears of monetary policy-makers who are trying to adjust policy to prevent the economy from overheating," said Chan.
The strong gains in November construction employment might be difficult to sustain if recent reports that suggest a slowing in the real estate and home building market prove to be correct.
Most real estate economists expect that the nation's white-hot housing market will cool next year due to higher mortgage rates.
So why is Alan Greenspan so concerned? Click here.

CY Steak stands as an upscale steak house laced with a bit of Las Vegas cabaret. Chef Chris Jensen?an honor graduate of Johnson & Wales University College of Culinary Arts?mans the kitchen, calling on his experiences working under Kevin Dundon, an Irish celebrity chef, television personality and author. Rising star Chef Jensen is on hand nightly to ensure diners relish the Kobe beef and oysters laced with three kinds of house-cured bacon, the slabs of grassfed Harris Ranch beef, and the puddings and brownies made of Ecuadorean chocolate from small, ecologically sound farms.
The wine and mixology program verges almost on fussiness: alongside complex cocktails and a 500-bottle-deep wine selection, a Cruvinet wine-tapping system keeps a shortlist of the most of-the-moment potions ready at hand. Beneath soft red lighting designed to create a comprehensively sensual atmosphere, crystal glasses and egyptian-cotton napkins make for place settings as luxurious as a remote-controlled caviar dispenser. Among the pleasure palace's other indulgences are a cigar selection curated by the owner's tobacconist son and, most eye-catchingly, Vegas-style cabaret entertainment that sends dancers shimmying before adult eyes.
As guests walk through The Broker Restaurant, they'll catch a glimpse of the gleaming metal of a massive, circular vault door, swung open in an inviting fashion. But this isn't some prop or gimmick—it's a relic from the building's original tenant, the Denver National Bank. The iconic restaurant resides within the original bank vault, which was built in 1903 and designed to securely safeguard deposited items such as jewelry, sensitive documents, or family keepsakes.
Today, diners sit in the very booths formerly used by bank customers to count gold or the years until the bank might finally turn into a restaurant. Surrounded by dark cherry wood, they feast on dry-aged, prime cuts of beef, fresh Alaskan seafood, and tender Colorado lamb. Servers commence each meal with a complimentary 1.5-pound bowl of steamed Gulf shrimp, which remains a trademark of the historic restaurant.
Since 1937, the Bastien family has been sneaking steak into nearly every section of their menu. It's an understandable obsession, seeing as it has resulted in savory signature plates such as the new york sugar steak and the filet mignon with serrano-lingonberry sauce.
Rib eyes and porterhouses aside, Bastien's Restaurant focuses on cooking up a warm, down-home vibe more than cooking up a particular food. The menu also includes comforting entrees of wiener schnitzel and fried chicken alongside delicate bites of seafood, all of which find their perfect pairings on an international wine list. Meanwhile, bartenders help create a retro feel thanks to their classic cocktail recipes and friendly greetings of "So, what part of Pangaea are you from?"
Whether you're in the mood for a New York Strip or a juicy tenderloin, you'll find plenty to like at Denver's The Keg Steakhouse and Bar. Gluten-free options are also available. The Keg Steakhouse and Bar also provides alcohol, so diners don't have to worry about bringing their own bottle. The Keg Steakhouse and Bar is a terrific spot for families to gather with its kid-friendly ambience and menu. Check out the brews and bites at happy hour, and kick back without spending a fortune. On warmer days, you can take advantage of The Keg Steakhouse and Bar's al fresco patio seating.
Keep it casual at The Keg Steakhouse and Bar — the restaurant is laid-back and patrons dress accordingly. Love the food so much you want to serve it at your next soiree? No problem — The Keg Steakhouse and Bar offers catering. Always five minutes behind schedule? Pick up your food to go instead.
Patrons have the option of feeding the meter at the nearby street parking or taking advantage of the restaurant's valet service.
A mid-priced establishment, The Keg Steakhouse and Bar offers meals that typically cost about $30 or less. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all served at the restaurant, but the dinner menu is the real standout.
Enjoy a T-bone steak or filet mignon at Chophouse and Brewery, a Denver steakhouse. You won't find any low-fat fare here, though, so leave some room to indulge. Chophouse and Brewery visitors can also take advantage of the many drink options offered here. Let the kids come too! Little ones love the food and atmosphere at Chophouse and Brewery just as much as their parents do. Reserve the private room at Chophouse and Brewery for your next party — it's perfect for large groups looking to dine and celebrate together. Make those early evening hours happy ones and swing by for some discounted food and drink deals after work. Stay in the loop (and online!) by tapping into Chophouse and Brewery's free wifi hotspot.
If you're strapped for time, take out food from Chophouse and Brewery.
The restaurant is adjacent to a parking lot, where optional valet is also provided. Street parking is readily available as well.
A night out here can be a bit pricey, so prepare to shell out a bit more. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all served at the restaurant, but reviewers rate the dinner menu the highest.
Whether they're unwinding from shopping in the Highlands art district, grabbing a bite before seeing a show, or just enjoying a night out with friends, groups flock to Sushi Hai for its fresh sushi and funky atmosphere. Local art flows through this popular Highlands stop, which has been a neighborhood staple for more than a decade. Along with nigiri and sashimi, menu features a vast array of rolls, including a veggie option filled with cucumber, pickled gourd, and sprouts. But chefs also splice together meaty entrees, such as the Hai pork chop served with smoked applewood bacon and savory bread pudding. For a more authentic experience, guests can visit one of the restaurant's three private Tatami rooms, where they abide by the traditional Japanese custom of sitting on the floor and resisting the urge to play Duck, Duck, Goose as full-grown adults.
Two private Tatami rooms are also located downstairs at the Hai Bar, a 3,000-square-foot martini lounge where patrons can either order standalone drinks or pair them with plates of sushi amid music, flat-screen TVs, and lounge seating.

Although I always assumed that people like
the concept of a flexible work schedule, I was surprised to hear a whole lot of
my friends feel the flexible working is not their cup of tea. Some of the
reasons I have heard are:
- Taking out time from family to work is difficult. It's best to leave for work at a fixed time and come back at a fixed time. Being flexible raise expectations of both colleagues and family members.
- Multi-tasking is not something I am excellent in doing (assuming that work flex also means multitasking, an assumption I disagree with)
- In India, working flexible hours makes you less competitive, and you miss out on plum opportunities.
- Family is less supportive when I work from home.
Elena, a community member of the
group I interact often, says on the topic, that flexitime hinders
productivity, in terms of teamwork. She said, 'Unless your work in isolation,
your flexibility can become someone else's coordination nightmare.'
Carol, a midlife career specialist, said, 'I
think it depends on the industry. Before becoming self-employed, the nature of
the work of the organisation that I worked for and the need to provide a face
to face customer service between certain hours, made it very challenging for
those who were having to cover front line services. I know at times that this was
particularly challenging for the Team Leaders who had to organise the teams and
the work taking into account those that worked flexibly.'
Another group member, Diana, said, 'I
definitely thinks it helps productivity but shouldn't be used 100%. Individual
projects should have flexibility but group projects need in-person face time. I
like tele-conferencing and Skype but sometimes you have to be in-person to get
a job done.'
I am a big fan of flexible work, as I feel
the flexibility allows me to balance my work and family very well, when my
husband stays away from home a lot on work. But yes, one needs to have a good
fit to be able to work flexible time. Are you a good fit?

2013 First-Quarter Results in Keeping with Legrand's Development Plan 2013 Targets Confirmed
2013 First-Quarter Results in Keeping with Legrand's Development Plan 2013 Targets Confirmed
Regulatory News:
Legrand (Paris:LR):
First-quarter achievements:
- Total growth in sales excluding exchange-rate effects: +2%, of which -0.6% organic(1) growth
- Adjusted operating margin excluding acquisitions: 20.2% of sales (19.8% including acquisitions)
- Based on these achievements, Legrand confirms its 2013 targets
Group's profitable growth profile strengthened:
- Commercial positions improved further, particularly in growing markets (United States plus new economies)
- Continued productivity initiatives
Gilles Schnepp, Chairman and CEO of Legrand, comments:
"Group sales for the first quarter of 2013 showed a total rise of 0.6%, or 2.0% excluding exchange-rate effects, underpinned by a broader scope of consolidation linked to acquisitions that contributed 2.7% of the total. At the same time, organic(1) growth in sales was -0.6% in a market environment with highly differentiated business trends from one country to the other.
In particular, Legrand continued to expand its positions in the fastest growing markets, notably new economies such as China, Russia and Saudi Arabia, as well as the United States, where teams deployed dynamic commercial initiatives to make the most of the recovery in the residential market.
Adjusted operating income came to €216 million, or 20.2% of sales excluding acquisitions (19.8% including acquisitions), reflecting ongoing:
- sales initiatives in expanding markets
- measures to protect margins in countries marked by unfavorable economic conditions, and
- control of pricing management, plus continuous productivity initiatives.
These achievements are in keeping with Legrand's development plan and reflect Legrand's capacity to pursue, country by country, active and differentiated management of its business in line with its strategy of value-creating profitable growth.
Based on first-quarter achievements and in an industry structured with no order book, Legrand confirms its 2013 targets for:
- organic(1) growth in sales at between -2% and +2% and
- adjusted operating margin before acquisitions at between 19% and 20% of sales."

Results to March 31, 2013
Consolidated sales
Reported figures set sales for the first quarter at €1,092.9 million, a year-on-year rise of 0.6%.
Sales at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates declined 0.6%, impacted, as expected, by a mechanical unfavorable calendar effect in many countries, and reflect business trends that varied from market to market.
Changes in the scope of consolidation made a 2.7% contribution to growth, while exchange rates had a negative impact of 1.4%.
Changes in sales by destination at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates broke down as follows by geographical region:
1st quarter 2013 / 1st quarter 2012 | ||
France | -4.3% | |
Italy | -8.0% | |
Rest of Europe | -5.1% | |
United States/Canada | +6.7% | |
Rest of the World | +4.5% | |
Total | -0.6% |
- France: Sales were down 4.3% impacted in particular by an unfavorable calendar effect of about 3 points. Against this backdrop, Legrand turned in good performances in energy distribution, notably thanks to the successful launch of Drivia, the new range of residential cabinets, and in door-entry and home systems.
- Italy: Sales to distributors (sell-in) were down 8.0%, but downstream sell-out of Legrand products by distributors (sell-out) remained higher than sell-in by 2 points and thus stood at around -6%.
In economic conditions that remain unfavorable, the group continued to benefit from its robust leadership positions, especially in wiring devices but also in door-entry and home systems.
- Rest of Europe: Overall sales for the region were down 5.1%, impacted by an unfavorable calendar effect in many countries. Good performances in Russia, Romania and Hungary partially offset the continued decline in mature economies.
- United States/Canada: Sales rose 6.7% driven by the dynamic commercial initiatives of US teams and business development with new retailers. Particularly noteworthy were strong showings in wiring devices, home systems and cable management. The residential market continues to recover, and while the non-residential market remains flat on the whole, Legrand has nonetheless recorded some encouraging results here.
- Rest of the World: Sales continued to rise, with good performances in new economies in Africa/Middle East and Asia. These more than offset lower sales in mature countries (Australia and South Korea). Sales rose 4.5% for the region as a whole.
Cash generation
Cash flow from operations is solid at €170.8 million or 15.6% of sales.
Operating working capital requirement (inventories + trade receivables – trade payables) on March 31, 2013—which compared with the very low level reported on December 31, 2012—remains under control and is improving over one year when expressed as a percentage of sales, standing at 16.6% on March 31, 2013 compared with 17.5% on March 31, 2012.
Investments are also under control and stand at 2.3% of sales.
Normalized(1) free cash flow came to 13.7% of sales. Full year, normalized(1) free cash flow should reach between 12 and 13% of sales.
Growth initiatives
New product launches and commercial initiatives
Legrand actively pursued its innovation effort—one of its growth engines—spending close to 5% of sales on R&D and dedicating over half of its total investment to new products.
Since January, the group has successfully rolled out many new products including Drivia, the new residential cabinet range in France, particularly well received by installers, TX3 circuit breakers in China, and Linkeo Voice-Data-Image enclosures on international markets.
Legrand has also worked actively to strengthen its commercial presence:
- with new customers, for example in the United States, where it has scored numerous successes with retail distribution, and
- by launching product families with high potential in countries such as Malaysia, where it is currently expanding in wiring devices using the sales network of Megapower, the country's leader in plastic cable management, which joined Legrand in November 2011.
Expansion of commercial positions and vigorous growth in new economies
Legrand's sales in new economies are rising by nearly 5% at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates. In particular, growth initiatives to expand group positions raised sales in Brazil, Russia, India and China which altogether were up more than 7% at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates.
The same determination to strengthen group positions drives teams in Romania, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, where sales show double-digit growth at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates in each country.
Sales growth at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates in new economies is more than eight points higher than in mature markets.
More generally, new economies accounted for close to 37% of group sales in the first quarter of 2013, up 2 points compared to the same period of 2012.
(1) Based on a constant 10% ratio of working capital requirement to sales at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates
Development of the group's positions through acquisitions
In the first quarter of 2013, Legrand announced the acquisition of Seico, the Saudi leader in industrial metal cable trays, and a top contender in this segment in Gulf Cooperation Council member countries(1).
The move accelerates Legrand's inroads into the Saudi market in recent years—a fast-growing market where Legrand ranks first in wiring devices, and where annual growth over the past five years averaged 20% at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates. Seico's strong ties to key players in the oil and gas vertical in the Gulf region strengthen Legrand's positions in this high-growth market segment. Legrand's annual sales in Saudi Arabia, including Seico, stand at nearly €60 million.
Pursuing this momentum in the highest-growth businesses, Legrand today announced the acquisition of S2S Onduleurs, a French specialist in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). The move strengthens group positions in the promising UPS market, building on S2S Onduleurs's solid sales and service network; the company employs nearly 50 people and reported sales totaling over €20 million in 2012.
Based on previously announced acquisitions and their consolidation dates, changes in the scope of consolidation should boost growth in consolidated sales by around 2% in 2013.

The Window Cleaner
A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.39 / 5.00 6,372 ViewsHere is an advertisement I was hired to make for a Russian website called 'Shitless.ru', where people can go to share horror stories.
Now I'm not from Russia myself, and I'm aware that most people who'll see this aren't Russian either, so putting this ad here might not achieve much from a marketing perspective. But you don't need to speak Russian to understand the ad, and I just liked how it turned out, so I'll MAKE YOU WATCH IT ANYWAY.
And for those of you that DO speak Russian, then go check out the site these guys have made! I also did their logo and stuff!
All the sound is by me, apart from some footsteps and I think some cricket noises. I think.
Another Success...
Now the only question is, ...
How much was this one worth to ya?
: |
You have an amazing talent. you can create images of which no one else can create. (compliment) you have the ability to create thing that seem almost unreal by usual standards. keep up the amazing work.
Shitless and Speechless
The abducted werewolf and the man in the moon were particularly great. Love your style
another from masteraardvark!
I always like your submissions. probably due to their...ah... unique qualities.
to be honest, you lost a star because i expected a little more from you. your creepiest creation to date was the travelling sandwich, or possibly pigpen.
but as far as advertisements go, this is great. it typifies the barrage of the bizarre that you find on sites like these. I like the ending the best, where the guy finally gets got by the things after him, but not before uploading what I can only assume to be the story of that night. awesome.
i speak a little russian =)
it's a hobby - learning new languages. =) (ya gavariit' paruski ochin plokha..pta mushta ya tozhe inastranitz! XD)
anyway. it was fine, well made and well thought of.. a flash i wouldn't mind showing to someone if i wanted that said someone not to be able to sleep well at night. XD

The 5 Least Charitable ZIP Codes in Houston
The Chronicle of Philanthropy recently published a report on charitable giving throughout the U.S. culled from Census information. The report noted that charitable giving among wealthier Americans is down and that the most poor citizens give a larger percentage of their income to charity than the richest. But what about Houston?The Chronicle of Philanthropy's interactive map points out where the givers are in Houston.
Fortunately, the organization put together an interactive map that divided up areas by ZIP code, and we were able to see just where people gave and where they did not.
For the purposes of this list, we excluded neighborhoods outside the the boundaries of the city limits with one exception, because even though it is its own entity, it is still inside the Loop. Areas like Sugar Land, for example, were also on the short list, but they were well outside the city limits and the central portions of Houston. This list uses ranks ZIP codes based on the organizations "giving ratio," which is calculated by taking the percentage of charitable donations from the ZIP code's adjusted gross income.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Research Request - Draft
*again, these are just straight up questions. I know you've one or two and
may have more material.
First, for the Gripen piece:
* A clear understanding of the three offerings before Brazil:
* What has each offered specifically in terms of price, tech
transfer and indigenous assembly/production (not all may be
available, but we need to know what's out there -- particularly
the price drop of the Gripen and price point of the Rafale)
* Just how dire/desperate is Saab? Are they trying to secure the deal in
order to secure the deal? Or are they in more dire straits than that?
* Any other takers for the NG? Even follow-on orders or for upgrades?
* What has Saab managed to sell of the Gripen NGs thus far?
* A careful look at each company in turn. Obviously we're starting with
Saab. Dassault next, since I think the Rafale may be in worse shape
than the Gripen. Eurofighter is the most coherent of the three at this
point, I believe. For each:
* brief history of genesis of the program, and the business case
for it -- how many was each intending to sell to the primary
customer and how many were intended to be sold abroad?
* In particular, what was the scheme and why did it fail? For
example, the Gripen was specifically designed as a low cost, and
low-life cycle-cost alternative to the other designs on the
market. Supposed to be a solid plane. Certainly not competing
directly with the Joint Strike Fighter. What gives?
* Let's get a key sense of exactly where each fighter was supposed
to be sold... country by country. I [Marko] can then quickly lay
out the macroeconomics of why country X or Y could no longer
afford this or that fighter.
* Key export agreements/failures to secure them. Timeline for each.
(I want to be careful about correlation of the Iraq war with the
sales of the Gripen. Even if they correlate, that doesn't mean
causation necessarily. Let's get dates but also look at the
production schedule for the Gripen)
* Might be good to get a bit of a sense of the evolution of the global
fighter jet market as a whole, so we can fit European efforts in with
American and Russian efforts.
* Can we get a sense of all NEW Jet Fighter orders from 2000 onwards? I
am making 2000 up as arbitrary number... but it would be good to get a
really detailed excel worksheet going with ALL fighter jet sales.
Let's concentrate first on NEW fighters, not repurchased, since that
will make things easier and we can decide if we need repurchased
later. There has to be a study out there on this.
* Let's see if we can't dig up some analysis of this situation. We're
not the first to contemplate this. What are industry rags and European
circles saying about it? Use "filetype:pdf
for other analyses
I'm sure there is more, but this is my initial take.

I got involved with City Sass 'N Country Class Melodies through association with a karaoke group I participate in. Darlene Lewis explained that she and her husband and a few others provided musical activities for senior centers and nursing homes at no cost to the facility. Sometimes they would sing to the residents, sometimes it would be a sing-a-long activity directly involving the residents. One visit and I was hooked. The seniors and residents obviously enjoy our programs, and it's a fulfilling experience for us as well.

Hospital Assesses Area's Pediatric Health Needs
DAYTON -- Childhood obesity, mental health an infant mortality are the top pediatric health concerns according to Friday's findings from the 2014 Community Health Needs Assessment.
Dayton Children's Hospital conducts this assessment every three years to develop new programs and strategies.
According to the findings 41% of children were identified as overweight or obese, even though the majority of their parents did not perceive their child as having weight problems. In fact, 10 percent of those parents thought their child was underweight.
"Parents don't always perceive their child as overweight or obese and part of it has to do with the norming of obesity in our culture," said Jessica Saunders of Dayton Children's Hospital. "So the biggest takeaway is we need to work to make sure people realize what is a healthy weight and then if a child is not in a healthy weight what behaviors are necessary to move that child into a healthy weight."
"That's crazy," said parent Teresa Mers. "I think it's because of processed food, food portions, lack of exercise. People just don't know how to eat healthy."
"Getting five vegetables and fruit servings every day," said Dr. James Ebert, lipid clinic medical director. "Getting an hour of exercise every day. Spending no more than two hours in front of any type of a video screen. TV or video game. And cutting out totally any sweet beverages in your diet and going back to water and unsweetened beverages. That message has been getting out but it takes time to change the culture. And the message flies in the face of the way most people live their lives."
Mental disorders are the most common inpatient discharge diagnosis for kids between 5-14 even though hospitals have inadequate resources to care for children with chronic mental health disorders. Fifteen percent of parents listed this as their top health concern. Developmental/learning disabilities and autism were the top concerns for half of nearly half of those parents.
"About two out of five children in our region have issues related to mental health something we absolutely need to address," said Saunders. "Mental health has been a trend we have been seeing and it continues to rise and this year it just shot off the charts."
They are the most common inpatient discharge diagnosis for kids between 5-14 even though hospitals have inadequate resources to care for children.
"When you look at the psychologist in the area, there's a lot for adult help, but there's really not a lot for children," said Mers.
Dayton Childrens' recently launched a Mental health resource Center and hope to use it to bringing more resources to address this problem.
41% of infant deaths from one month to one year olds are sleep related. In Montgomery County alone 17% of the infant deaths were sleep related.
"That's scary because that's just a lack of knowledge," said Mers. "You hear a lot of parents sleeping with children and that's just a lack of knowledge."
"We are really going to be focused on educating people about the safe sleep practices and not sleeping with your baby," said Saunders. "Making sure your baby has a safe place to sleep and really getting the education out about that."
Dayton Children's conducts this assessment every three years to develop new programs and strategies.

Seventy-six million. U.S. farms are doused with that many pounds of the herbicide atrazine every year. That's a lot of any chemical — and scientists link this one to birth defects, infertility and the "chemical castration" of frogs.
Next week, EPA's science advisors will wrap up a 2-year process of rethinking atrazine, based on the latest studies of its health and environmental harms. People across the country will be watching closely to see just what happens next. So, without a doubt, will the Syngenta corporation.
The carcinogenic strawberry pesticide, methyl iodide, continues to make news. A farm in the California Central Valley recently became the fourth in the state to apply the fumigant, prompting tens of thousands of Californians to rattle Governor Jerry Brown's cage, again. This time, they're joined by 38 California legislators, who wrote a letter to Brown urging him "to take immediate action to prohibit the use of methyl iodide in California."
My kids had a great baseball season playing in Little League this Spring. We've now moved on to other summery things like swim lessons in Berkeley's freezing fog. So I was caught off-guard by last week's surprise collision between my work and home worlds, namely the revelation that USDA has just given Scotts Miracle Gro (the lawn chemical company and much decried sponsor of Major League Baseball), the go-ahead for a new and once again totally unnecessary genetically engineered product: Roundup Ready lawn grass. And they may have pulled off a de facto deregulation of all future GE products in the process.
In some circles, it would be called a bribe, at best. Evidence revealed last week shows that Monsanto's former Chief Financial Officer admitted that the agrichemical corporation planned to spend $150 million in cash and trade incentives in Latin America, North America and Europe to spur the uptake of the pesticide glyphosate, better known as RoundUp. $150 million is no small change — and surely that's not all that's been spent.
The news came to light last week as part of an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Sadly, small farmers around the world know all too well the carrot and stick approaches that Monsanto and other pesticide giants use to lure farmers (and nations) toward industrial agriculture and onto the pesticide treadmill.
While there are hundreds of species of earthworms, anyone who makes compost knows the redworm, or Eisenia fetida. They make what's considered perhaps the richest form of natural fertilizer — a true friend to farmers and gardeners alike.
What you might not know is that very low levels of pesticides can kill these "black gold" producers. If they don't kill outright, pesticides can cause other serious harm, like reducing worms' ability to reproduce. Exposure to the neonicitinoid pesticide imidacloprid — well-known for its toxicity to honeybees — can also cause serious harm to worms, damaging DNA and deforming sperm. Bad news.

Originally posted by Smartwhois Lies. The game is an empty wasteland sprinkled with a few trinket collectors. UO grew steadily to 180,000 subscribers without Trammel at all. Adding Trammel didn't make much of a difference, except that soon after the addition the game stopped growing except for a few short-lived peaks surrounding expansions. Which were probably temporary multiple accounts bought to place housing. Trammel ruined the game. Trammel just created more space for storage and the game slowly migrated to an item based system. Rows and rows of houses(storage) everywhere with a few vendors that actually have stuff to sell. Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL! |
This is pretty sorry; a totally pathetic abuse of power. Someone here at mmorpg.com edited the title of this thread from; Why Electronic Arts' Ultima Online Sucks?" To, "Electronic Arts' Ultima Online" And I quote the mmorpg.com rules of conduct regarding negativity towards games: Game Attacks * Unsubstantiated comments about specific or general games will be penalized in nearly the same way attacks against people will. The exception is that you can say mean things about games provided you back it up with reasons. www.mmorpg.com/disclaimers.cfm#conduct And, like the coward that they are, they didn't even bother to send me a message.

I noticed this too. That's pretty shady of them, but does not surprise me. This web-site has done nothing but gone down hill since it launched. I honestly only come back here for the Ultima Online forum. Stratic's UO site is nothing but people that should have played Everquest instead of Ultima Online. It is kind of shocking to see that this thread is still alive three plus years later though. Best MMORPG: |

What is actually needed is someone to PK EA and loot their UO rights. EA is shit and can only produce more shit, they have awesome trackrecord to show for it. |
I got a 15 day account recently just to see what was going on and what I saw was shocking, but not really a surprise. I saw nothing. Meaning people... the shards are practically empty apart from Atlantic. The sad reality is that EA allowed the game to get so bad that there is really no hope in fixing it apart from making a whole new game. Even then, the only way I would attempt to play a new UO game is if EA lets the rights go to another company who can do it right, because it would inevitably be a repeat of what we've already seen with all EA games: It releases, they don't support it, allow the game to be exploited and bugged beyond recognition, and then allow it to implode before closing it and walking away with their bank accounts filled to work on some new project that will inevitably be just as flawed. Ultima Online |
It is interesting that this thread has had 39,162 views, but only 295 votes. There must be many more readers here than members and very few members participate in polls. |

Originally posted by Smartwhois I think a big reason for the disparity of views vs votes is that whenever the thread appears on the recent post list, you are taken to the most recent post and not the start of the thread. Very few people will go back and read the OP and 1st page if there are enough quotes to get it. |
Yes I was pre R and loved Uo then, I still play UO Pre R and enjoy it still. If EA did a classic shard I would consider playing it depending on what they settle on for a classic shard, but it won't happen so I stay where I am enjoying UO in all it's Pre R glory. Uo Pre R is a great canvas that players bring to life. |
Originally posted by NightCloak Good point, maybe polls should be listed at the bottom of every page of a poll thread to pick up everyone reading the thread. Still that is a HUGE difference, almost 40,000 views compared to only 300 votes? I think it must just be that most don't bother to register or login. Edit: actually, I just checked and it's currently 57,540 views now but only 319 votes. So I think that's right. Most just read and never register or login. |
UO has come a long way since this was originally posted. See for your self. Like anything, it has its flaws. But you will certainly find a rich and rewarding game. If you are interested, feel free to icq me at 74431689 (Mac). I reside on the Europa shard. I would be glad to help you get started. |

I couldn't agree any more! Thank you so much for not making this another "UO used to be..." It has come a long way and it does have flaws, but there is still so much you can do in the game that it makes up for all the thing we've lost. Growing plants for decoration or alchemy, customizing houses, new skills for combat and out of combat. I've heard Europa is a really heavy RP shard. I may have to try it sometime. I play on Atlantic and Chesapeake. Best MMORPG: |
I would still be roleplaying on the Europa shard was it not for my playing times and my timezone. Alas, at the times anything interesting starts to happen on Europa it's already bedtime for me :( |
I used to play UO, but I did leave after RL took effect, and once I came back it was too much of a mockery of the series. Though I will defend a one of the designers, and that would be Sunsword. He did his best to ensure this game stayed with the best, He pushed and pushed for alot of changes that were shot down. After the real Lord British left the company, the game lost meaning to EA. When Orgin Systems was no more the game was completely loss. Then of course when EA killed the Counslour, Seer, and Companion people for paid employees the lawsuits happend and it only dragged the game thru the mud even more. I still find myself checking the site to see what is going on yet unable to really drag myself back into the game,, |
I left 4 years ago and haven't been back since. Tried a couple of freeshards, but it wasn't the same. I can give EA a pass on UOR - and making Trammel / Fel - it takes a lot for me to say that, but I will. But, I'll never understand why EA decided to alienate the player base by releasing Age of Shadows - some terrible attempt by a bunch of developers, who clearly did not play the game, who completely ruined everything. Economy was completely blown out of proportion, massive artifact imbalances, rewarding the dupers... Remember 5/6 fast casting? Basically making the person cast so quickly that they were invulnerable? Oh, and how long did it take for you to correct that issue? Doh, you'll let these severe imbalances go on for another 6-12 months because YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Meanwhile... good-bye subs! AoS / pub 16 ruined my experience with UO - there was a pretty thriving PvP community, but most people I knew started to quit when the items and power scrolls came out. 50 million duped gold for a +20 mage scroll!! another 75 mill for a Ornament of the Magician! |
I used to be a UO player, until the gameplay took a purple AOS neon, 100% LRC, 100% SSI, 100% lightning strike arrow of epic fail to the knee. Anyway, EA made AOS to try and ride on the coat tails of the WoW mainstream craze in the hopes they would be able to steal subs away from Blizzard. Oh, how foolish they were. It went from UO to World of Ultimacraft. It went from a game of skill, character build and stragtegy to how good your items were. Arti suits ruled everything and without a powerscroll, your 100.0% character was a joke. Crafting was made useless. PvP was so imbalanced, it was rendered completely pointless. Today, its a pathetic shade of its former self. Abandoned servers, empty dungeons, and nothing but hackers, dupers, cheaters and gold farmers are left to populate luna bank, spamming their crap all day long to nonexistant buyers. Disgusting... absolutely disgusting. |
Originally posted by vaultbrain Pretty much this. The game you see today is some ugly offspring that burst out of the chest of the game there used to be. AoS turned the game into something different, and was right around when I left the game. Its sad, if someone made a UO 2 that was similar to pre-aos UO, fixed its host of issues and brought it into modern day with graphics and controls, I am fairly sure I would become part of my chair and never leave my house. |
This is a common factor with ea, hackers and cheats rampant in daoc and war also
Soon be coming to star wars no doubt also |

Elements is a tribute to alchemy, the transformation of matter. I always believed that sampling has the potential to transform a dusty, forgotten moment into a vibrant landscape of fantastic impossibilities. Music has an alchemic property, transforming silence into song, nothing into something. I chose Fire, Air, Water, and Earth, the four basic element of alchemy, as seeds for these songs [...]
