UTV's TalkSPORT has extended its international partnership with the Premier League for an additional three years until 2019.
"Today's announcement means we can extend talkSPORT into even more markets, as well as creating new opportunities for advertisers and sponsors," said UTV Media Chief Operating Officer Scott Taunton in a statement.
UTV Media said that talkSPORT has been re-appointed as the Premier League's global audio partner to the end of the 2018/19 football season, continuing the existing four-year agreement which was due to expire at the end of the 2015/16 football season.
As with its existing agreement, the extension gives talkSPORT an exclusive package of international audio rights to provide official live commentary of all 380 Barclays Premier League matches in any language to listeners around the world outside of the UK and Ireland.
Analysts at Dublin's Goodbody Stockbrokers said the news was important for the Belfast-based media company.
"This is a positive update from UTV as it gives management further confidence to invest in the talkSPORT International business. talkSPORT International is an interesting growth angle for UTV Media given that most of its costs are fixed which provides attractive leverage from signing new partners and additional advertising partners," it said.

EAST MONTPELIER Vermont State Police say a two-car accident Wednesday in East Montpelier was caused by a driver momentarily taking his eyes off the road.
State police say Ryan Golden, 21, of Barre, was driving west on Route 2, looked away for a second and rear-ended Robert Rouleau, 27, who had stopped to pull into his driveway.
State police say Goldens vehicle sustained major front-end damage and Rouleaus sustained minor damage. Rouleaus 10-month-old daughter, who was in a car seat in his vehicle, was not injured, nor was Golden, police said, but Rouleau was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center with neck and back pain.

It's every kid's favorite show, and "Sesame Street" got a big shout out on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last night (September 25).
Fallon and his house band The Roots gathered up their classroom instruments and did a fabulous cover of the hit television program's much-beloved theme song.
Keeping their streak alive, Jimmy Fallon shared another moment with Justin Timberlake on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last night (September 24), as part of Timberlake Tuesday.

Top Ten: Best Red Carpet Looks of 2013
Jose here. The Golden Globes are on Sunday and with them comes one of my favorite seasons of the year: Red Carpet Season. As we speak, dozens of starlets, screen goddesses and a few fashion-forward men must be texting/emailing/buying nice things to/screaming at their stylists who year after year must procure them the most exclusive gowns and accessories. But before we say hello to a new season, let's take a moment to remember the red carpet looks that took our breaths away last year.
As Nathaniel has rightfully pointed out in the past, models, TV presenters and famous people's girlfriends/wives shoudn't be discussed with the same importance we bestow on movie stars, but I felt it would be sinful to deny you the pleasure of seeing the Stephane Rolland couture creation worn by Spanish TV presenter Nieves Alvarez at the 2013 Goya Awards (pictured left). In a just world this work of art would've been given to someone like Maribel Verdú or Paz Vega, but beauty is beauty and I often find myself staring at pictures of it when I'm stressed or when it's snowy and muddy outside. Sigh.
Without further ado, after the jump, we give you the...

The Hyperbola - Problem 3
954 views
If y^2 is the first term of your hyperbola, then it opens along a vertical axis. Use the asymptotes equations y = + - a/bx to sketch a "box" around which your hyperbola will be drawn. The diagonal asymptotes will be boundary lines that will help you determine how wide or skinny to make the hyperbola branches. If the x^2 term is first, then the axis is horizontal and the asymptotes are y = + - b/ax. Use y = mx+b techniques to sketch the asymptotes in dashed lines.

Retired colonel guilty of coup plot
Comment on this storyMoscow - A retired Russian military intelligence colonel has been found guilty of leading a bizarre plot that envisioned a group of elderly people taking over the government.
Prosecutors say Vladimir Kvachkov, 64, organized a group who planned to seize power by training crossbow-wielding men to seize military depots and then descend upon Moscow with tanks.
Moscow City Court on Friday sentenced him to 13 years in prison for attempting to organize an armed uprising. A retired police captain, 62-year-old Alexey Kiselev, was sentenced to 11 years as a co-conspirator.
Kvachkov, who denied the charges, became a nationalist folk hero after twice being acquitted for a 2005 assassination attempt on former deputy prime minister Anatoly Chubais, the mastermind of Russia's 1990s privatization drive. - Sapa-AP

The truth about saints is beyond the limits of knowledge / understanding.
That sounds like a truth worth dying for–and it goes a bit further than religious dialogue. - Last sentence in last paragraph in this Erasmus piece in conclusion following a reporting narrative.
Re Father van der Lugt's concrete acts and actions - in life using his psychotherapeutic skills to alleviate the mental suffering of Muslims and Christians alike, in death absolutely clear what he died for - my personal reaction is here's a man who spewed no nonsense, who engaged in no self-touting "holier than thou", who condemned no one, be they Believers or Nonbelievers or Noname, who simply went about doing his work by putting money where his mouth was. A true Christian.
Food for thought - Has this follower of Christ said Muslims are bad people, or atheists are bad people, or everyone else is a bad person except he? I bet you he didn't say the Holy Ghost will take care of everything that's wrong either, whether the wrong is committed by his faith or someone else's, and all he ever needed to do with the faith he believed in was tell people how holy he was and that they were bad and he was good.
Isn't that nice there is one fewer make-believe Christian cum hypocrit in Christendom?
BTW, I think martyr is just another word or label given by folks who stand in noncomprehension of the noble acts and actions of moral aristocrats. Labels are for peasants.
Regarding "That sounds like a truth worth dying for–and it goes a bit further than religious dialogue."
"religious dialogue"-> 1 John 3:18 'Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.'
Matthew 13:35 'This is how all will know that you are my (Jesus') disciples (Christians), if you have love for one another.'
John 15:13 'No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.'
I start with an apology; I am a WASP in western Europe with little travel experience. I personally consider a martyr as one who does that which he considers Right despite the detriment to theirself. This may be vague and broad but I think alines a moral code without consequencialism.
If I understood your point correctly, I completely agree. To follow one's moral principles without regard to consequences to the "self" is the essence of the acts and actions of the person the word "martyr" describes.
The starting point of moral principles is consideration of the welfare of "others", NOT the "self".
This simple point is totally ignored by fake Christians, the kind who miss the boat in Jesus Christ's teachings, the kind who have no room in their heads for others, only themselves, the kind whose only existential concern is an obsession about being "better" and "more right" than everybody else.
This "more right" attitude has caused them to wreak unspeakable human sufferings since Christ breathed his last breath on the cross. The history of Christianity is replete with examples of their moral decreptitude and the real-life irresponsibility that results from it.
Father van der Lugt provided one magnificant counter-example to a fake Christian by showing us what a true Christian is and is not, does and does not.
But being genuinely fake, fake Christians are clueless about thier own critical moral defect and the role this defect played in the past and continues to play in the present in humanity's spiritual existence.
Forever holier-than-thou and forever spewing self-lauding nonsense, they will even "play victim" when they eventually see they have nothing to offer the world that conforms to the basic moral principles share by all morally decent people. Their argument is they are the ones treated unfairly, not the others they have treated unfairly (mark their legendary condemnation of all atheists as people without morals - an abscene line not even fit for a ka-ka joke). This is also the standard line of the proverbial spousal-abuse perpertrator who claims he is the victim.
The last thing Pope Francis, another Jesuit, will say to his flock and to people outside his flock is Christians are apriori morally superior to every other faith in the world.
There is difference in someone who is murdered for his belief.
He is a Martyr.
And a suicide bomber who commits mass homicide while hijacking and crashing a jet plane full of passengers in midflight.
He is a Murderer.
Only one of these men will go to Heaven.
The other deserves eternal Hell.
"Martyrdom" is an almost embarrassing word in the West. It conjures up Katherine Hepburn and Robert Morley in "The African Queen" conducting a chaotic prayer service in Africa with a wheezy organ. A bit too Edwardian, sanctimonious (and, worst of all, ineffective) for our secular, modern tastes. Muslims often feel differently and envision "dying for the faith" as a ticket into Paradise.
If a martyr is someone who offers up his/her life for a worthy cause, though, then we have our share of them in this, the I-Pad generation. Some of these are religious and Bishop Romero comes to mind along with any number of Catholic priests and bishops in China. Plenty of Protestants as well, especially Baptist missionaries.
On the secular side there is "Doctors Without Borders" along with certain UN staff who put their lives at risk for the sake of others. Then, there are those anonymous citizens who have simply had enough and throw their bodies beneath the iron wheel of tyranny (think that lone Chinese with his plastic bag standing in front of a tank in Tianammen Square.) These martyrs often do something as simple as smuggling out pictures of atrocities or communicate with human rights organizations via the Internet or text.
I am always surprised that such people exist. Stephen Biko was one of them and so, for practical purposes, was Nelson Mandela. They are both an inspiration and a rebuke to the rest of us.
A martyr can be a bishop, an atheist, a witness for human rights, a kid with a cellphone that takes pictures, a doctor, a nun or some average Joe or Jill who refuses to cross a line over which the rest of us blithely hop.
One can overdo this sort of thing, of course, and Christian doctrine teaches that one should not aggressively seek martyrdom. But, there is also no need to be cynical either. A few people have the imagination to conceive of something bigger and more important than themselves and then find the courage to act on their conceptions.
There is a reason that some of these people end up, literally, as saints.
You don't need to point at a guy standing in front of a tank in Beijing: lots of people work in Syria to help people. They bring in food. They organize help for refugees. They act as nurses. They teach kids. You name it and there are some decent people doing it in Syria and among the refugees in Syria and outside it.
The verbiage about clergy death being somehow special "martyrdom" makes my stomach turn. Many, many, many people have died in Syria and elsewhere without some religious organization romanticizing their deaths as martyrs of faith.
Many, many people have died in Syria. This particular one was not a Syrian, did not have to be there and remained solely to relieve the sufferings of those who were neither his kin nor countrymen.
Why that should turn you stomach puzzles me.
You have a point but you smothered it in sour grapes. A. Andros made that point; elegantly.
Perhaps because it was martyrdom. Based on the manner of the shooting (someone coming into his monastery) and only killing him leads me to believe he was targeted. Also knowing that hardline Islamic groups operate in the area, with absolutely no tolerance for non-Muslims or even the wrong sect of Islam, does present him to be a target. Before the war, Syria had a population of nearly 2.5M Christians, but those numbers have been greatly diminished (n.b. the very same could be said about Coptic Egypt).
Many have died in Syria, but not in such a direct and personal manner. This, compounded with existing as a member of a persecuted minority group, allows this to be interpreted as martyrdom.
I think that in Northern Ireland plenty died for having the temerity to try to make terms with 'the other side'. My grandparents (with a 'mixed marriage', meaning one of each) just left. I suspect that the same is true of sunnis & shiites, and of couples killed in rural India for being of mixed religion.
I worked many years ago at the "Interfaith Health Program." I remember our Director saying that it doesn't help dialogue if he is a bad Christian.
Great comment seconded! I don't know of anything more odious than a bad Christian. Which is to say, a "holier than thou" one.
Religious figures should still fall in a different category than the other endeavouring people you mentioned. Besides perishing in the line of duty for passionately embracing a cause, they vow to change local people's hearts and minds and, most important, want them to pass the new lifestyles on to the next generations.
This should be enough to keep them apart from reporters, some of whom are inspired by a penchant for adventure of by sheer personal ambition. Most doctors could still be placed in the same group as religious martyrs, but are rarely persecuted for merely practising in a war zone.
Such romanticism. Strip away the religion, that this person was a Jesuit, and you have a guy who tried to help people in a war and was killed for that. I fail to see how his status as a Jesuit makes him different from any of the others who have tried and are trying to help people in Syria. And I don't see how his death or any of these deaths is any positive form of "martyr" except in the eyes of the people of his own faith, meaning as a statement that at least some of them care enough to act exactly like the other, non-religious people in places like Syria (or Sudan, etc.) who put their lives on the line every single day and sometimes get killed. In fact, that he was a Jesuit should make this death less important because he is expected to care less about his comfort and more about helping others. But that doesn't fit the narrative of Christian "martyr" - which is literally the last word which should be used in a conflict rooted in Islam with its vast traditions of martyrdom, many of which we see as "terrorism".
The post is titled "new versions of martyrdom". What the heck is that? Since when is sacrifice in war a "new version" of anything? Oh wait, it's because he was a Jesuit doing his job and that fits the romantic Christian storyline.
I'd like to respond to the thought in your comment, which I think is an eminently sound one. It is sound because stripped away the label of the "religious faith" believed in that spurs an act or action, in the final analysis, the actor is the person who acts, not the label. In this sense, the label the actor holds or bears, be it "Jesuit" or "Atheist" or "Noname (I believe Andros made this same point in his comment to which you replied) really has nothing to do with the special "status" posthumously accorded known as "a martyr".
There is nothing particularly "martyrish" about any courageous act and actions taken under the coloring of any label. Indeed, "martyr" is just a word (I noted this point in my first comment above). An ancillary point to this, which CtD correctly noted, is if we have to use the word "martyr", a martyr would not be a person who kills for a cause, but a person who is killed for a cause.
Thus my salute to all three of you for your thoughtful comments.
I also agree with you the use of the word "martyr" in the red title of this Erasmus piece is not well chosen. But I believe - or I am surmising, and B.C. will correct me if I am wholly "off" - the qualifier "New Versions" is intended to call attention to the "constructive" work that Father van der Lugt dedicated his life work to as a Jeusit ("It is worth thinking about what exactly Father van der Lugt stood for in war and peace. Having lived in the region since the 1960s, he used his psychotherapeutic skills for the benefit of Christians and Muslims alike. When the war broke out, his already profound relationship with Syrians of all affiliations deepened further...") VS a type of religious behavior that is the brainchild of useless religious preachings that award special status to their fervent believers who contributed nothing in thier lives to humanity either in war or in peace, other than being terribly "romantic" (your wonderful word) about the vacuousness and destructiveness when what is vacuous turns into the inane self-righteousness we see in so many holier-than-thou Believers. Hence Erasmus' words: ...- and it goes a bit further than religious dialogue.. And I add: Assuming there is even a dialogue.
Typos: First sentence; "passionate embraced cause" s/b "passionately embraced cause". Third to last sentence "it was would have so easy" s/b "it would have been so easy".
Thanks, both fixed.
The first step to Sainthood is martyrdom.
This thinking leads to reckless irrational behavior as demonstrated.
72 virgins, sainthood, heavenly cloud castles, and big life insurance death payoffs
are perverse incentives that lead to delusional thinking and psychotic behavior.
But it is as real as the daily front page suicide bomber.
***Being violently martyred is not necessary but it helps a lot in the long Sainthood process. There is a lot of paperwork.

Finding appropriate home health and hospice care providers requires some research. You will need to consult with your doctor to evaluate your home health or hospice care needs. When looking for a provider, consider the following:
Quality of care
Availability of services
Personnel training and expertise
Payer coverage
When evaluating the quality of a provider, you may encounter the following terms:
Licensure. Some states require providers to have licenses to operate. Basic legal and operating requirements mandated by the state must be met to obtain a license.
Bonding. A bond is a type of insurance policy for a provider. To become "bonded," a provider must pay a set amount. The bond protects the provider from bankruptcy in the event of a lawsuit by a consumer.
Certification. State certification by state health departments makes a home health or hospice care provider eligible for Medicare (and sometimes Medicaid) payments. To become certified, a provider must meet basic federal and state standards in patient care and financial management.
Certified health care professionals are certified by their respective national organizations. The certification usually requires passing a national test and/or work experience.
Accreditation. Nationally recognized accrediting organizations evaluate and accredit quality health care services. A provider must voluntarily seek out this accreditation. Some organizations who accredit home health care include:
Accreditation Commission for Home Care, Inc.
Community Health Accreditation Program
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
National Committee for Quality Assurance
National Home Caring Council
When choosing a provider, consider asking the following questions:
How many years has the provider been serving the community?
Does the provider have literature describing its services, cost, and funding?
Is an evaluation of the patient's home health care needs required? Is there a written plan of care for the patient?
When are caregivers available?
Is there a nursing supervisor on-call 24 hours a day?
Can the provider ensure patient confidentiality?
How is quality of care and services monitored?
What types of payments are accepted?

to me, all the shampoo bars are the same but they are all good for me. they make my hair soft, strong and healthier overall and since using them, have treated my dry scalp.
would repurchase anytime but i don't use them exclusively because they are quite pricey.
More reviews by HollywoodMuzic101
This is one purchase im NOT happy with. I love lush and have for a long time, but first of all, the scent! It smells like wax, and rubber, and smoke, it's disgusting! I didn't even want to give it to my sister to smell. Awful! The scent was enough to make me walk away the first time. The second time I came round because I had a very flaky scalp and it was often commented on and it started affecting my self esteem. So, in panic, I decided to give this a try. It dried out my hair chronically so much that it took 5 washes at least with my tousle me softly shampoo and conditioner from clairol to fix it, along with daily serums and moisturizers. It got mushy in the tin and all yuck, and it didn't even work, after using it for over 2 months, and then my hair was practically dead and I had to get 4 inches chopped off! This was a pretty expensive purchase however I am glad that there is no packaging and waste to this product. A very disappointing spit take from lush.
I don't have a flaky scalp or particularly dry hair, so the only reason I got this is because it smelled like a campfire. And it does. And it makes everything smell like a campfire it's amazing. Whatever body wash I use, if it's fruits, it smells like a burning fruit orchard. If it's vanilla-ey, it smells like flaming vanilla bean pods.
While I can still smell it in my hair for a little bit after, it's not an incredibly overpowering scent (Although perhaps it's just my fine hair?), which is unfortunate for me because I really wish it was! If only they released this in perfume form!

I used to be a huge fan of Lush. I really did. I thought they were a company that used all natural ingredients. I thought I was seeing a change in the mainstream industry.
However my last few purchases really did change my mind. Especially this shampoo bar. I was actively using a locally made shampoo that didn't contain harsh sulfates but it just wasn't effective on my dandruff. I went to a few shops and tried to look for two things (natual + fights dandruff) and just couldn't seem to find a shampoo that fit the bill.
I was travelling overseas soon as well so I wanted to buy something that was easy to carry. I finally remembered looking at Soak 'n' Float earlier, so one afternoon when I was in a mad dash, I bought this and American Cream conditioner in a small bottle.
I'm so disappointed. I remember the lady at the counter saying that Lush switched to a sulfate derived from coconut oil. Hmm, I thought to myself, it means it won't be as harsh right? Afterwards I did some reading and found out how very wrong I was and sulfates no matter where they derive from are over-drying because they still undergo a chemical process and end up as a synthetic ingredient.
So everytime I used this my hair was become squeaky clean and of course dried out as well. My dandruff has not gone away or even been decreased.
Also you cannot keep this shampoo bar in the shower. It will turn into a solid jelly as mine has and is now stuck in the tin.
Complely ineffective for me. I have just received two bottles of Phyto for dandruff and hoping it will be my saviour.
I've had itchy scalp for some time and had high hopes for this product because of all the good reviews saying that it worked instantly, but after using it for 3 times I saw no difference at all and I just can't stand the smell, it stinks (and my not usually picky with smells), it really stinks and the smell stays in my bathroom for a while.. I also think it weight down my hair and made it very dry so I'm not going to keep on using it.
This isnt a smell for everyone. It smells like a campfire. I'm not a huge fan of this smell but it helps with my scalp, so well in fact I bought it for my boyfriend who suffers from extreme dandruff and yeast build up. It works instantly for him. Thank you lush !
THIS IS A GOD-SEND. I have always suffered from irritated, itchy, dry, flakey scalp. It gets almost painful. I have tried everything from Neutrogena to Pert Plus to Aveda Scalp Therapy. Nothing else has worked so instantly or thoroughly. This shampoo is amazing! Wet your hair, wet the bar, and rub once or twice over your hair. It lathers up huge and you can just work it into your hair and scalp. I personally love the campfire-like smell, which will fill your shower and bathroom. However, the smell does not linger on the hair after your hair dries. If you don't like the smell so much, no worries there. My bf loves this as well. I will never go back to anything else!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
At first I liked this product, it did seem to help with my dandruff and make my scalp less itchy. The smell was strong but I got used to it after a week or so. However, threee weeks in my scalp got way worse! I was getting even more dandruff than I had before and my scalp itched like crazy -- I think it is very drying. Definitely will not repurchase!
This is overwhelming at the start, certainly; the smell of burning wood will take over your bathroom, and if you have an aversion to the scent of wood and smoke, I won't be able to convince you to use this, no matter how much I'll rave about the results. As for me, I happen to like the smell of firewood, although, admittedly, this stuff is insanely potent, and I really wondered if past reviewers were right - would the scent every die away?
Turns out, they were right, and they were even more correct about the incredible results this shampoo provided. At the turn of every season, I seem to suffer from those dreaded flakes, especially at my hairline. I've used several different anti-dandruff shampoos, the best of which was Nizoral, but I never found it cost-efficient. It also smelled medicinal, which, believe it or not, I find worse than the campfire scent of Soak N Float.
Give this stuff time, and the smell will die down. It won't be so strong, and believe me, it doesn't linger in the hair, especially if used with a conditioner (which is necessary). This fact has been supported by my family, who all have supersonic smelling abilities - they all agree. After I rinse this out and blowdry my hair, my locks are left super silky, shiny, bouncy, and best of all, flake-free. After consistent use (after about a week), my problem is completely gone. One puck lasts a long time, too, and I use this daily. It also lathers like a dream. I'll keep using this as long as Lush keeps making it.

This bar stinks. It really, really stinks. The pine, burnt-tar smell lingered on my wet hair, slightly on my dry hair (even after using a scented conditioner) and even hung in the air down the hall from my bathroom 6 hours after I took a shower.
But it's effective and it actually left my hair looking shinier and more manageable. The product lathers really well if you wet your hair and scalp well, part hair and run the bar down the scalp in 5-6 different spots, and then use fingers to massage it into the scalp. I leave it on for 10 minutes while I exfoliate my body, then rinse very well and use a light conditioner.
My moderately-thick yet fly-away hair is shinier and less fly-away than when using other shampoos. My itchy scalp is relieved and flaking is greatly reduced. I would def purchase this again, but I would not use it every day or your hair will smell bad. I use it 3 times a week max.

Denise Richards Turning Down Tell-All Offers, Vows to Stand by Charlie Through Rehab
But Denise won't do it. Insiders close to the actress say she has been inundated with interview requests and has turned them all down.
"Her focus right now is on Charlie getting better and being there for her kids. He is their father and Denise wants him healthy so that he can be a part of their life," a source close to the Richards' camp tells PopEater.
We hear that Denise plans to stay strong and support Charlie while he goes through rehab. A rep for the 45-year-old actor wouldn't confirm how long his client plans to be in treatment, but insiders say they expect him to be in for at least three months.
Charlie's entry into treatment came after he was rushed to a hospital last week after reportedly partying with hard drugs and alcohol for several days at his home with several porn stars.
Even as news networks are practically begging Denise to spill all, she thinks it is best for her family right now to keep as much as she can private. She finally has some control over how this story will play out, and she plans to keep it as long as she can. The only feedback she has been giving about Charlie has come from her personal Twitter feed. Denise tweeted: "If you caught 'GMA' today...FYI No 'adult film star' will be babysitting our kids!"
An added advantage of turning down offers to talk is that it will help shield Denise from Charlie's bad behavior. She has been trying (successfully) to create her own brand and doesn't want it to be sullied by a constant association with Charlie. On a personal level, she feels she can be there for him, but professionally she doesn't want to co-brand herself with his actions.

Why are you turning this into a race thing? For one, he's more Asian (1/2) than black (1/4). Plus, Tiger was crucified because the media loved the idea of turning a perceived upstanding guy who was on top of the world into a villain - which, ultimately, he was. Additionally, they also crucified Jesse James - 100% white. So grow the hell up - everything is not about race!

Granted, he should not be employed by anyone at this time. He definitly is crying out for help. I'm sure the man is not in jail because of the color of his skin. It all has to do with money. He has excellent attorneys. Money talks..always has and always will.
- Tuesday 01 FebruaryBy Cole
BS! Tiger isn't in jail. Neither is Whitney Houston who is Black most similar to Charlie in behavior. The difference is that Houston's spouses beat her and somehow she managed to look more doped up in public than Sheen ever has. No RICH black person goes to jail for doing what Charlie Sheen has done. Matter of fact, RICH black people can kill their ex wife (if she is white) and be found not guilty by their peers. So get off this "blacks go to jail" routine. Kobe avoided jail for rape the same way Big Ben did - by being a rich athlete.

"Co-brand?" How cold. I am really glad I didn't go into celebrity journalism. I like Denise Richards and I also like Charlie Sheen. We have no idea what she is going through.
At a time when his life is on the line, it's a bit cruel, don't you think, to talk about his tarnished "brand?" - Tuesday 01 FebruaryBy mokuma33
Poor Charlie, he has my sympathy. I hope he makes it as he is a wonderful actor. He probably would do better if he did not have that leech, Denise, using every opportunity she can to get some publicity. I think she is stalking him. What is it with you people who think she is so wonderful. She is a nobody, no talent who couldn't even make it when he tried to get her on his show. The only thing she has is that she was once married to him and by damn she is hanging on to him with her fangs for publicity and money. Who would have known that she was in NY? Who would have known she went to the hospital? I bet she stands out there jumping up and down and yelling to the media "here I am--here I am." She is worse than the rest of the skanks who all just want their 15 seconds of fame. It is sad that these megastars can have no friends and can trust no one. Everyone is just out to use them.

Denise is as screwed up as Charlie. And by the way, Charlie is doing rehab in his own home. How does that fit into what's supposed to be a rehabilitation process to cure these hollywood misfits. I know it won't happen, but if people would stop watching the 22 minutes of his crap on CBS, maybe being without a paycheck would bring him down to earth. I stopped watching it long time ago. It's the same old crap, womanizing and sexual innuendos. Total waste of time.

(Aka, it's the same as being good at farming, with more things to hit.) Being good at it doesn't involve actually fighting your opponent. You aren't outplaying them by denying better than them, you are just better at mechanics then they are.

My approach for teaching and advising on website creation focuses more on the objective of the site rather than spending too much time creating a website that is full of flashy graphics and videos but lacks traffic and functionality. The internet is becoming the main source of information on the world and when most people go to the internet they are looking for information and value.
Website design can be approached in many different ways depending on your goals and what purpose your website will serve. But all websites share common building blocks and that's what I will be teaching you.
I will advise you on the basic tools that I use to create basic websites and some more complex ones like those for e-commerce. How to find a good domain name and properly register it so that it belongs to you and reflects the goal of your website. Finding a host for your website is also important since that's where your website will be accessible to the world. Using C-panel and FTP to tranfers files and updates to your website. Planning your website and the main components to make it compliant to todays Web standards. How to design your website so that is appealing to the eyes of the visitor without comprimising speed and functionality. Using CMS (content management system) to manage content and information updates on your site. Basic typography, image editing, designs and style sheets that fit the purpose of your website. Using blog systems like Joomla and Wordpress to create sites that can be updated by the internet community. You will also learn HTML, Adobe Dreamweaver, CSS , AJAX, PHP, Adobe Fireworks and Flash, Page layouts using tables and working with expanded and nested tables. How to promote your site on the web and generate traffic using links, social media and information exchange. If you are interested in creating a money making website I will teach you different strategies to monetize the traffic on your site.
Web design is at the front of how information will be accessible on the future, don't wait and become part of this now!

Re: Great Charter in Marathon Key
Hmmm. Great question - "How much work is involved in chartering?"
I get a kick out of charter guests on our boat who look at the beautiful water, calm breezes and great sailing then say to each other, "We could do this no problem!" Of course, they don't see the work behind the scenes or the hundreds of hours spent getting a boat ready for the chartering business. I take it as a personal compliment that we make it look easy.
If you only chartered your boat for sunset sails without meals, the daily prep work for each charter would be fairly low - say 1 or 2 man-hours to clean the boat, polish vinyl, lay out cushions, configure bumpers and dock lines for departure, etc. However, in order to make some money with just 1 or 2 hour sunset charters, you have to take lots of people which requires a Coast Guard inspected vessel. Maintaining most boats to stay in line with Coast Guard requirements is a very big deal - both in dollars and hours.
We've decided to offer Sunset Dinner and Luncheon Sails because my wife Laura loves to cook and entertain guests on the boat. This requires much more preparation but also brings in more money. Prep work for a 2-guest, 4-hour Sunset Dinner Cruise is in the 4-6 man-hour range.
You can probably add at least 1 or 2 hours to each charter for the "behind the scenes" work. Phone calls and emails to get the charters booked, accounting, web site monitoring and maintenance, maintaining crew licensing requirements (drug testing, first-aid courses, keeping up with regulations, federal, state and county requirements, etc.).
That said, we haven't talked about boat maintenance and upkeep. Living on our charterboat makes this much, much easier. As soon as something breaks or needs work, we're on it. After 5 years of chartering, we've learn the hard way about the "ounce of prevention..". Our first summer chartering we had to cancel a $600 sail because the lift pump quit on our engine the day before the charter. It was on a weekend and I couldn't get parts. For the lack of a $60 lift pump, we lost 10 times that in income plus our customer wasn't very happy with us. Needless to say, we now have 2 spare lift pumps plus at least one spare for every pump on the boat.
You are pretty close to the 14-16 hour day to prep and run 2 charters - especially if one is a lunch or dinner. But.. most of it is not "work" to us. We love doing it and we're happy crew.
