WASHINGTON, D.C. — A U.S. Senator from Oregon is saying he voted for the Fiscal Cliff deal, but that does not mean he's in full support of it.
In a released statement, Senator Jeff Merkley said he voted for the deal because failing to pass it would have been a disaster for so many working families in Oregon.
He said the good news is that the Fiscal Cliff deal makes sure unmployement insurance continues and that income taxes will not go up for 98% of American families and 97% of small businesses, but goes on to say:
"Rather than resolving our fiscal crisis, this agreement simply delays tough decisions, setting our nation up for more political brinksmanship, and there will be those who will take advantage of these fiscal challenges to continue their attacks on social security and medicare."

Original Reiki History
The Reiki Levels 1, 2 and Master
To use Reiki you need to be attuned.
An attunement is a traditional spiritual ceremony that helps you to connect to the Reiki Energy Source. It's a new rebirth. Many things may or may not happen during and after an attunement. An attunement is awareness of our self-empowerment.
The attunement is all you need to use Reiki energy in your own life and for those around you. A Reiki Master Teacher performs this attunement.
You are now a Reiki Healer (Excellent, Well Done!)
You Chakras are opened and you are connected to the Reiki Source
You are able to channel Reiki through your hands to yourself or others by your link to the Reiki Source
You will become increasingly aware of what you need to do in regards to your healing
You will become more intuitive and psychic
Further changes will manifest in your life that are needed and are distinctive to you
Reiki is Universal Force Energy, and once you have received Reiki Level 1, Reiki Level 2 and the Reiki Master Attunement, you can share this life force energy with others. Everybody has universal force energy, but the attunements plug you in to working with a wider spectrum of energies that have much tremendous power to heal, change and transform peoples lives.

The Bourse Fades Away
by Thomas MacMillan | Jun 18, 2014 1:32 pm
Commenting has been closed | E-mail the Author
Posted to: Business/ Economic Development, Downtown
The Bourse co-working space on Chapel Street has closed. And reopened in a scaled-down form two floors higher.
Robert Orr (pictured), who co-founded the Bourse in 2011 with his wife, Carol Orr, said the co-working outfit left its second-floor home at 839 Chapel St. two months ago.
The Orrs rented the second-floor space to the not-for-profit Love 146. The Bourse still exists, he said, as office space in his architectural firm on the fourth floor. But not many individual co-workers occupy that space; one end is taken up by NARAL Pro-choice Connecticut.
"Technically, it exists," Orr said on Monday. "We've shrunk down to the fourth floor."
Orr said the Bourse still runs a lecture series, using a theater at the back of the first-floor English Market, the store Orr's wife runs.
Orr said he's been very busy with other ventures. "I have about 10 businesses."
Orr said he doesn't know exactly how many members the Bourse has now. "I haven't counted. People come and go."
He said he doesn't know how much longer the Bourse will continue. He said he's going to "play it by ear for now."
Meanwhile, the Grove co-working space, which began around the same time as the Bourse, has flourished, expanding from a location on Orange Street to multiple floors on Chapel Street, and being chosen by the state as one of four innovation hubs.

Golden Ballroom
I never spent much time in Shoreline until Kyle joined Explone. Or until I joined Kyle's band Kirby Krackle...I honestly can't remember which happened first. But as soon as one domino fell, the other was on the way down, and Kyle and I were destined to be double-bandmates. Our polygamous musical relationship led to a number of inconvenient rehearsal situations, until we all agreed to become one happy extended Explone/Kirby Krackle family, and we moved into the basement of Kyle's house in Shoreline.
Kyle lived right next to the Crest Theater, which is a well-worn North Seattle institution specializing in late-run and cult movies. Back in the 90's I went with a bunch of drunken friends to see Terminator 2 at the Crest, for the princely sum of two bucks. By the time we arrived at the theater I had already passed out in the back of Jeff Stone's van, so they left me there to sleep it off. I assume the movie was a good time with the usual greasy, room temperature Crest popcorn.
Kyle's house had one of those special basements that's just tall enough to make you think you can stand up straight, and juuuuust short enough to ensure you keep nailing your head on a beam, or a light fixture, or a piece of duct work, or some other structural appendage designed to hang at exactly forehead level. It also had a catacomb-like quality, as the whole space was a seemingly endless, winding corridor that circled in toward the center of the foundation. The previous resident had used the basement as his "workspace," and there were cabinets, shelves and drawers sitting in every nook and crevice. Imagine a long hallway with a lot of left turns, unlimited storage for arcane artifacts and torture devices, then toss in some Silence of the Lambs-style ambiance, and you'll pretty well get the picture.
This would have been creepy, but Kyle transformed the space through sheer determination. He reached into his (apparently bottomless) collection of comic art, and papered the walls and ceiling with comic pages, rock posters, and various cheerful pop culture artifacts. He arrayed an impressive collection of action figures on the cinder blocks behind the drum set. He hung strings of party lights in tiny paper lanterns from the head-cracking beams. And he found some carpet that looked like it was stolen from the set of The Brady Bunch to cover the floor. Somehow he transformed Buffalo Bill's basement lair into a nerd rock clubhouse.
As we were finishing the Telescope & Satellite EP, Scott floated the idea of filming a video for "Golden Ballroom" on his iPhone. Scott is the most technologically gifted of my bandmates, so I figured if he brought it up he must know what he's doing. He said he wanted to shoot it in our basement rehearsal space, and that seemed like a good idea, since the place had good vibes imposed on it. Thus we arrived at the video below, courtesy of the directorial acumen of Scott Andrew.
"Golden Ballroom" is a song that literally came to me in a dream. I woke up one morning around 5:00 AM, and the song and imagery were so vivid all I had to do was stumble downstairs and grab a guitar, tune it to the key in my memory, and the song just fell out. I've had ideas come to me in dreams before, but this was the most complete song I've ever received while unconscious. I even had most of the lyrics the moment I woke up. In my dream, the space I was in looked a lot like the old Century Ballroom on Capitol Hill. And I wasn't singing; I was standing in a circle around the middle of the ballroom floor, while a woman sang the song for all of us. I've always been a pretty good dreamer, but this one was a doozy--one of the best I've ever had. Have you ever had that feeling after a really intense dream where you wake up, and you need a few minutes to convince yourself that you're not still asleep? That *this* is real, and the other stuff you were just experiencing in the unreal part? That's what "Golden Ballroom" felt like.
We were working at Avast! for the recording, ain their cavernous Studio A tracking room. Shawn and I decided to use the space for effect, so I put my Fender Vibroverb on one side of the room, and put Shawn's Fender Deluxe on the other side. We set the tremolo effect on each amp to a slightly different speed, which when combined with the space in the room created a kind of trippy, disorienting effect. Honestly, it was making me a little dizzy when we tracked the song but I got through it and it sounded killer.
I knew I wanted strings on the song, and my old friend Stephen Cavit came through with a stellar arrangement. He even conducted the string session, translating my dream-induced song into a written score for a quartet.
So there you go: the new Explone video for "Golden Ballroom." Dreams do come true, once in a while.
Golden Ballroom
Deep in a dream I climbed the stairs, to a golden ballroom where
strange music hung like smoke
I met a silent woman there in a diamond wheelchair
I touched her shoulder, with her eyes she spoke
She said "never be too far from me
now don't you worry you will see
my heart will always find you"
I opened my arms and pulled her near, and my eyes gave up their tears
and a singer started singing
Nobody moved or took a breath, still and beautiful as death
as the steeple bells kept ringing
Saying "don't forget the things you learned
the joy you feel your tears have earned
my heart will always find you"
The singer's voice was a perfect sound
as the golden ballroom spun around
my heart will always find you
EXPLONE is a Seattle-based rock band that refuses to acknowledge the irrelevancy of electric guitar in modern music. We won't stop believing. We still love Cheap Trick, Queen, Hüsker Dü, Nada Surf and the Pixies. Conservative Christians can have our Judas Priest records when they pry them from our cold, dead fingers.

Altered RPMs
April 24, 2014Entertainment, Music
This conversation started on Facebook, and the results were entertaining enough that I thought I would summarize it here. If you've already read it and commented there, then just skip this post.
It all started when a friend directed me to a site that had a slowed down version of Dolly Parton's hit "Jolene." It was as if someone had taken the 45 single and played it at 33 1/3 RPMs on a turntable. The result was a slow, haunting version that sounds amazing.
I reposted this on my Facebook timeline and got lots of comments. One commenter doubted the veracity of the record, and thought that it had been faked. I suggested taking the original audio file and importing it into Audacity, then slowing it down by 27% digitally. Rather than wait, I decided to do it myself.
Here's the original version. The song is great, but something about the way Dolly sings it sets my teeth on edge.
Here's the slow version as found on YouTube…
I got an MP3 of the original and popped it into Audacity. A few seconds into the song I slowed it down by 27%. This showed conclusively that it wasn't faked. Here's the results as posted to Chirbit…
There seem to be several version of this on YouTube, including some showing someone actually playing the song on a turntable.
I like the slower version. It's more haunting and somehow sadder. Singer Ruby Rose Fox recorded a lower, slower version with excellent results…
…and while we're on the subject of altered RPMs, Scott Keeler pointed me to a case of the reverse process. Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" was played as if it were a 33 1/3 RPM recording played at 45 RPMs. It sounds almost exactly like Dolly Parton singing it. Uncanny.

"Not bad at all!"
Decent mild/medium smoke for fans of smaller cigars - I was pleasantly surprised. Not the best looking, but a pleasant smoke all the same.
Rob in Brasil April 19, 2013
"not overly impressed"
Not overly impressed. I thought they had a somewhat harsh woodsy taste, which lingered throughout. Unlike the other premium Ashton cigars. I won't try again.

Event #31.
Event 31, $2500 short handed was a bust. Everything is back to normal, as I lost with a set against a flush draw all in on the flop. Biggest dissapointment was not busting Jamie Gold as he was all in preflop against me earlier in the day. I had 88 against his 22, but he spiked the deuce. His words were: "Everybody tells me I am the luckiest man in the world, I might as well run with it". He busted later though, so I guess he wasn't that lucky.

BATON ROUGE - The LSU softball team gave up 2 runs in the first inning and never recovered in their series finale against #2 Tennessee, falling 9-0 after winning the first two games.
Tigers starting pitcher Ashley Czechner was pulled after she gave up a third run in the third inning, but Baylee Corbello could do little to stem the Volunteer hitting.
The Tigers (22-16) offense could only muster 3 hits on the day, as they fell to 4-8 in SEC play.

Fall: BIOL 110-129 course* CHEM 101#MATH course (level determined by the placement test) ENGL course (level determined by the placement test)
Spring: BIOL 203 (may be taken in sophomore year, as well) CHEM 102 MATH 120 or MATH 202 (if MATH 201 was taken 1st semester) ENGL course (if not taken in fall semester)
Fall: CHEM 209 MATH 201 CHEM 215 PHYS 101 or PHYS 203
Spring: CHEM 210 MATH 202 or BIOL 203 PHYS 102 or PHYS 204 CHEM 270
Students considering majoring in Biochemistry are required to enroll in CHEM 101 in the freshman fall semester. They should consult the CHEM 101 Coordinator if an exemption to the math prerequisite is required.
# CHEM 101 is offered in the fall only.
Questions regarding CHEM 101 or 102 should be directed to Dr. Ray Briñas, General Chemistry Coordinator (email@example.com, 301-696-3891).
For the fall semester, students with Level II placement should enroll in MATH 120, and students with Level III placement should enroll in MATH 201. Students with a Level I or I.5 placement will not be able to take CHEM 101 in the fall, so completing a Chemistry major in four years with such a placement will be difficult if not impossible.
Freshmen are invited to enroll in a particular section of CHEM 101, based on their previous experience and potential interest. If a scheduling problem should arise due to this sectioning, please call the CHEM 101 Coordinator for advice.
Biochemistry majors need to complete Calculus (MATH 201 and 202), Physics (101 and 102 or 203 and 204) and CHEM 215 before they enroll in Physical Chemistry (CHEM 431 and 433).

Interview Cancellation and No Show Policy
Interview appointments should be cancelled through the Experience Job & Internship Board whenever possible. However, the interview schedules are typically frozen 48 hours prior to the scheduled interview date. Once the scheduled interview date is within 48 business hours, cancellations must be made immediately by contacting Career Services by phone at 330-672-2360. When canceling an interview, you must provide your name, which organization your interview is scheduled with, and the date and time of your interview.
Due to the professional nature of on-campus interviews, the following policy will be enforced when a candidate cancels an interview after the schedule has been frozen, or fails to show up for a previously scheduled interview or mock interview.
- First Occurrence:
A letter of apology/explanation must be written to the organization's recruiter within 48 business hours of the scheduled interview. The letter must be promptly received by the Career Services Center so that we may forward the apology to the recruiter. Participation in on-campus interviewing will be suspended until the letter is received by the Career Services Center.
- Second Occurrence:
A letter of apology/explanation must be written to the organization's recruiter within 48 business hours of the scheduled interview. The letter must be promptly received by the Career Services Center so that we may forward the apology to the recruiter. With the occurrence of a second cancellation or no-show, access to Experience will be suspended for the remainder of the semester, or a minimum of 30 calendar days.
Cancellation of Classes
If classes are cancelled due to inclement weather, unless the university is closed, the Career Services Center will be open for business. If an organization has a day of scheduled interviews, unless we notify you personally by email or telephone, you can assume that your interviews will go on as scheduled.
If there is a scheduled career event in the KSC Ballroom, please check the university's advisory alert web page regarding the status of on-campus events.
University Closure
If the university is closed due to inclement weather, both on-campus interviews and any scheduled career events will be cancelled. Check the university's advisory alert web page for campus updates.
The Career Services Center reserves the right to modify the terms and enforcement of this policy at any time.

North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District Achieves a Public Protection Classification Score of 3. This score puts the District in the top 5% of Nation.
For a Printable Flyer Regarding North Naples Fire District and ISO (Click here)
During the year 2008, NNFD (North Naples Fire Control and Rescue District) performed a self evaluation and found that with the purchase of a 3000 Gallon Water Tender, the District would be able to reduce it's ISO Classification and possibly save the tax payers within the District money on their property insurance premiums.
ISO performed an evaluation of the District during the month of September 2009. The evaluation included dispatching, water supplies, along with the staffing and distribution of firefighters and fire apparatus. The result was a Public Protection Classification Summary Report of 3. Only 5% of the fire departments across the nation have a rating of three or less.
ISO - What is ISO and what does it do?
Insurance Services Office (ISO) is an independent company that serves insurance companies, communities, fire departments, insurance regulators, and others by providing information about risk. ISO's expert staff collects information about municipal fire suppression efforts in communities throughout the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data and assigns a Public Protection Classification (PPC), represented by a number from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents an exemplary fire suppression program while a Class 10 indicates that the area's fire suppression program does not meet ISO's minimum criteria.
ISO's PPC program evaluates communities according to a uniform set of critera, incorporating nationally recognized standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association and the American Water Works Association. A community's PPC depends on the following:
- Fire alarm and communication systems including telephone systems, telephone lines, and dispatch staffing and systems.
- The Fire Department includes equipment, staffing, training and geographic distribution of fire stations.
- The water supply system includes condition and maintenance of hydrants, alternative water supply operations and a careful evaluation of the amount of available water compared with the amount needed to suppress fires up to 3,500 gallons per minute.

The American middle class is in distress. Here's what that means to the world's largest economy, and the rest of planet earth.
BOSTON — There is a deep unease spreading across the United States of America.
As anyone who's living through it can tell you, the nation's middle class — the backbone of the world's largest economy — is in distress.
Median income and net worth are falling.
Unemployment remains a persistent and pernicious problem.
Millions of houses languish in foreclosure, or drown under mortgages that exceed their market values.
Health care, education and other day-to-day costs continue to rise, further pressuring family budgets.
To make matters worse, new technologies are decimating entire industries, and social safety nets are threatened by rising government debt.
Meanwhile, the ascendance of China, India and other rising powers is challenging America's leading role in a highly competitive and increasingly interconnected global economy.
In short, America's middle class is being gutted by a variety of complex and interrelated factors, and this economic pain is increasingly evident to those at its ruinous center.
According to an August survey by the Pew Research Center, 85 percent of middle-class Americans believe it is more difficult to maintain their standard of living today than it was 10 years ago.
"The good-paying jobs that underpinned a way of life have been replaced by part-time or minimum-wage jobs," write Donald L. Bartlett and James B. Steele in their 2012 book The Betrayal of the American Dream. "As steady work disappears more and more people work under contracts, wages go down, and of course some have no work at all," they add.
This seismic shift is decades in the making and transcends Democratic and Republican parties and politics, despite the efforts of both the Obama and Romney campaigns to turn middle-class pain into political gain.
These declines were greatly exacerbated by the Great Recession of 2008, which shattered the US job and housing markets, a key source of middle class income and wealth.
But regardless of its causes, the implications of this economic shift are profound. They should also be troubling for all Americans.
As this middle hollows out, millions have fewer financial resources for their families, and less spending power to help fuel the consumer-based US economy.
Millions more are losing hope that their country can provide good jobs now or in the future.
And as the socially divisive Occupy Wall Street movement has underscored, many people are questioning the very ideals that constitute America – along the way exacerbating an unhappy divide between the rich, the poor and those in between.
But despite the enormity of America's problems, this is not the whole story.
Over roughly the same period as the middle-class decline in the US, huge numbers in the developing world have enjoyed substantial increases in their standards of living — notably in China and India, as well as in other countries in Asia, Latin America and elsewhere.
While the Great Recession has challenged some of these high-flying economies, the long-term trend is clear: more people around the world are ascending into the middle class, in many cases by doing the jobs once held by Americans.
According to scholar Cheng Li of the Brookings Institution Press, by the year 2030 "5 billion people — nearly two-thirds of the global population — could be middle class."
America the Gutted: A global investigation
How is this complex trend playing out in shuttered factory towns across America?
How is it changing lives — for good and sometimes ill — in the emerging boomtowns of the developing world?
What is the future for the middle class in the US, and for those aspiring to middle-class status around the world?
These thorny questions and more are the focus of a 10-month GlobalPost investigation, America the Gutted.
To put a human face on this macroeconomic phenomenon, we examined three iconic American industries – denim, iron and law – and what's happening to those workers in the US and around the world.
In each case, we found struggle and hardship in the US, hope and economic progress overseas, and greater uncertainty for almost everyone.
In this project you'll meet people like Glenda Bell, a devoted garment worker who spent 27 years stitching Wrangler jeans at a once-bustling factory in Windsor, North Carolina.
When in 2003 Wrangler's parent company VF Corp moved production to Manila, Bell and more than 350 other workers lost their jobs. Today, median household income in

As for hookers, we pay for their vacation stays in jails, for ineffective rehab centers, and for the food stamps sold for drugs. However, those centers that help addicts are important. Since we pay for the addicts who don't pay taxes on their $100,000-per-year incomes, we should force them into rehab and supply tight follow-up. We are supposed to be the number one country but are that only on fictional TV shows.

The green stuff rules:
I happened to read Emma Trelles' article about the so-called "Street Life" with a lot of interest, and I'll tell you why: because I was so curious what her point of view was going to be. And you know what? I still don't know. Maybe someone paid her to write the article, and that was more understandable since we all work for (pay attention now, because we're gonna return to this issue in a little bit) money.
But let me get to the point. First of all, whom did she write the article for? I know it was not Stephanie, or whatever her real name was; she'll ignore it. Trelles also did not write it for the johns, unless she was trying to give them a warning to be more careful. Or maybe she wrote it for someone like me who, after leaving a communist regime (22 years ago) in search of freedom, still wonders what this word really means. I still haven't gotten to the point. The point is that Stephanie and the others like her are working for money. Period. Everybody is. Stephanie, you see, did not go to college -- like Trelles did -- and she does not have any other talents. She does what she knows best and makes a living at it. Other girls like her have more "talent" or connections, and they land in porno movies. That's called acting and seems to be OK with everybody.
Look, I'm not trying to defend anybody here. All I'm trying to do is to ask you to write another article to explain that just because something is illegal doesn't necessarily mean it's that bad; the law could also be bad. (During Prohibition drinking was a crime, and lotto was long illegal in Florida.) I think this law should also be changed, because for sure it's not going to change the oldest job in the world. In the meantime, arresting these girls never produces any results; they're still doing it. Police actions are not going to clean up the streets. The money spent on the police force -- more every year -- should be aimed at educating children, who will become parents one day. That will eventually clean the streets. But then what do you think the cops will do? Become teachers? No! They like the situation they're in.

Best Dollar Store Miami 2006 - 99 Cents Stuff
This is the mother of all dollar stores. We're talking twelve aisles of everything from crayons to cassava melons. Load up the cart with pet food, toiletries, home-improvement stuff such as caulking guns, and kitchen stuff such as pepper grinders and stainless-steel meat cleavers. A four-pack of CD-Rs, a pound of Kosher matzos, a ratchet screwdriver with six head attachments, a three-pound bag of onions, a Florida guidebook -- everything's 99 cents. Most of the merchandise comes from large-scale closeouts or going-out-of-business sales, making the 99-cent price point possible, according to store manager Alex Gurdian. "It's crazy. That's why you see that many people," Gurdian says of the 1200 customers who stream through on an average day. The store is open 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. all week.

Sorry, PNM: Customer cost for clean air likely to be $10 per year, not $90
12/24/10 - PNM claims that it would cost PNM residential customers $90/year for 20 years to implement the recently announced EPA proposed pollution controls for the coal-fired San Juan Generating Station (SJGS), located in Farmington New Mexico. PNM also claims that these pollution controls capital cost would exceed $1 Billion.
Both claims are significantly overstated.
The EPA documents that were releases in conjunction with the proposed pollution controls for SJGS show that the capital cost would be $247 million, not $1 Billion.
Since PNM only owns 46% of the SJGS, PNM customers would pay for only 46% of the total cost. Other major owners of SJGS include three California utilities 24% and Tucson Electric Power 20%, would have to pay their share.
Further, PNM reports that in 2008 only 37% of their energy is used by residential customers. PNM also reports that they currently have 498,700 customers.
The $247M capital cost equates to $29.9M/year, per the EPA document. Thus, the cost per residential customer per year is $29.9M x 0.46 x 0.37 ÷ 498,700 = $10.20/year or 85 cents per month. NOT $90/year.
"PNM is needlessly scaring customers about the cost of cleaning up the air", David Van Winkle, Energy Chair for the Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club said "because they share ownership of this plant with others, and because the San Juan plant is only one of many power sources for them, the monthly cost of cleanup would be less than the cost of popcorn at the movies. And PNM's cost estimates are inflated according to the EPA. One cost PNM does not take into account is the asthma, heart and lung ailments of local residents who have to breathe air loaded with pollutants that could be removed. That's a cost already borne by all of us who breathe it. Cleaning up the decades old air pollution at the San Juan Power Plant is affordable. Polluters should pay their way, and part of that is using modern pollution controls. Now is the time for PNM to look at cleaner energy investments which will pay off with cleaner air and jobs for New Mexico – like wind, solar and geothermal energy. Now that would be worth it!"

Exam Code: 1z0-878
Exam Name: Oracle Solaris 10 System Administrator Certified Professional, Part II
Certification Provider: Oracle
Corresponding Certification:
Oracle Certified Professional, Oracle Solaris 10 System Administrator
Handsome percentage with a smaller effort
"As an oracle certified professional, I stepped forward to upgrade my career to the benchmark of a Solaris Administrator expert and with this intention I took the exam 1z0-878. I took the Test-king question and answer study guide 3 weeks before the exam. And it's easy explanation style propped up my concepts. It had simplified the each topic. I studied the short answers with little effort. Finally, I achieved 91% attempting the entire 78 questions in due time. Thank you.
David Byron
London, UK"
I Surprised that I could make it
"When the exam 1z0-878 was only 12 days ahead, I was struggling with chapters like managing storage volumes etc. I relied on the question and answer study guide of the teat-king to complete the syllabus as early as possible. This guide had described the contents with brief answers strategically. In the real exam, I got 70% questions similar from this guide. Finally, I got 79% attempting 68/78 questions. I surprised that I could make it. May god bless you test-king!
William Somerfield
Simferopol, Ukraine"
Getting success was easy as I had it
"Evaluating my expertise on controlling access and configuring system messaging, my boss advised me to take the exam 1z0-878. Though it was tough to take a strong preparation within 2-week only, I dared to do it with the aid of question and answer exam solution of the teat-king. It's well-structured and to the point contents enabled me to take an effective preparation. Finally, I could answer 55 questions correctly out off 78 accounting to 70% in exam. Getting success was easy, as I had it. Thanks.
Nora Johnson
Florida, USA"
How I saved my exam
"My preparation was quite disappointing only one week ago the exam 1z0-878. I depended on the question and answer study guide of the teat-king, as I did not find any dependable exam-solution. It's well-organized contents with brief answers assisted me to finish virtual file systems and core dumps and other chapters without much difficulties. In the final exam, I managed 72%, which was far above than minimum requirement of 65% to pass the exam. Thanks test-king, for saving my exam!
Margaret Zaytsev
Moscow, Russia"
It was amazing to find real-exam like questions
"I started reading question and answer study guide of the teat-king 20 days before the exam 1z0-878. It contained short answers that were quite easy. Around 80% questions in the real exam were similar to what I had memorized from this guide under the various chapters, such as, the solaris network environment, etc. Making the most of this opportunity, I achieved 93% attempting the entire 78 questions within 105 minutes. It was amazing to find real-exam like questions. Thanks a lot test-king!
Chalino Sanchez
Barcelona, Spain"
Superb materials for effective preparation
"Trying some other guides, I chose the question and answer study guide of the teat-king for the exam 1z0-878 for it's well-structured contents. The precise answers were compatible with my learning style. I could easily understand and memorize a bulk of hard topics, such as, swap space, etc. reading this guide. In the final exam, I could manage 92% answering 72 questions out of 78 correctly within the stipulated time. It offered superb materials for effective preparation. Thanks test-king team!

"The exam 1z0-878 was a flight of steps for me to be an oracle certified professional. The question and answer study guide of the teat-king aided me a lot to fulfill my dream. I managed to answer the entire 78 questions within 95 minutes only that were aggregated to 90%. This, I touched my dream. Reading this guide, I was able to memorize many complex topics within a 2-week preparation. Thank you.

It made the best utilization of my energy, time and money
"As only 10 days were left for the 1z0-878, I was eagerly looking for a quick reference. Following a friend's suggestion, I brought the questions and answers exam solution of the Test-king. It's brief answers were systemic and easy to learn. Within several days, I grabbed as many topics as I could. In the final exam, I made an 83% making 65/78 answers correct in due time. It made the best utilization of my energy, time and money. Thanks a lot.

It was the best exam-solution for 1z0-878
"It's strategically written short-length answers were convenient to remember. It reinforced my conception about difficult contents, etc. which were puzzling to me before. Solaris 10 System Administration Exam Prep: 1Z0-878, Part 2 by Bill Calkins was also handy. I could easily bring an 86% answering the entire 78 questions 10 minutes before the stipulated 105 minutes, as many questions were similar to the Test-king's exercises. I declare the Test king Q&A study guide, as the best exam-solution for 1z0-878. Thanks.

How I overcame the 1z0-878
"My preparation for the exam 1z0-878 was in a messy condition. In such a desperate circumstance, I got the test-king Q&A. It described every topic in a systemic method. I could easily learn the concise answers. 70% questions were similar to what I had studied in this guide. Finally, I made 85% answering the entire questions in due 105m. Oracle Solaris 10 System Virtualization Essentials (Oracle Solaris System Administration Series) by Jeff Victor, Jeff Savit, Gary Combs and Simon Hayler also helped. Thanks.

The Practicing Tools
"The practicing tools offered by Test-king for 1z0-878 exam is a model and praiseworthy. Also the fact is that the supplies are easy and not difficult to grasp. Whatever tools for 1z0-878 exam Test-king deliver are really more than sufficient. You only need to rehearse it decently and attempt the examination without wasting time in searching for any additional resource. I also did similarly a year back, when I attempted the 1z0-878 exam. It was good to have so much involvement with Test-king, and I expect that you will have the same sensation after utilizing this study engine.
Henry Rudolf"
For All Those People
"For all the people who are weary and fed up of the ancient learning tools which are only complex, useless and give a difficult time while practicing, then choosing Test-king is the finest decision. I tried this site for the 1z0-878 exam and obtained 100% achievement in the examination. Furthermore, the studying materials were easy and didn't give me a difficult time at all while practicing for the 1z0-878 exam. I was provided with sufficient quantity of quizzes to practice from. In the conclusion this latest technique of practicing functioned for me and I passed the 1z0-878 exam with flying colors.
Jerry Tom"
I Was Really Frustrated
"I was truly frustrated when I despondently could not pass my 1z0-878 exam in the beginning. The key cause of my failure was the shortage of learning notes I had for the practice. When I took assistance of Test-king, I became assured about my training for the 1z0-878 exam and saw that I will certainly pass the 1z0-878 exam. And accurately the same thing came to be true. I passed the examination. I am truly very thankful to Test-king for such a remarkable assistance and training. I would definitely inform every person about Test-king and its proficiency.
Dillard Jacky"
Melody And Music
"Melodies are things which are my whole job and therefore saving out even minutes for the 1z0-878 exam is very difficult for me. The moment I discovered Test-king, I knew that I actually don't need to spend many hours for the 1z0-878 exam. The directions and the training program provided by Test-king were simply wonderful. It assisted me to pass the 1z0-878 exam and obtain the diploma. At the current date, I am not merely an artist, but also a qualified IT certified. This all became conceivable due to my rock star.

In light of recent events, and the fact that this issue seems to be pandemic not just here, but all over the web, Ol' Icarus here is going to give a few pointers on how NOT to screw up your life and other people's lives on Oasis.
1. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT post personal information, such as phone number, email address, facebook profile, etc... on Oasis if you aren't out to everyone. Posts are visible to EVERYONE, not just members. Which means, some lurker might come across your journal, find your info, and do god knows what with it or your homphobic best friend might ask to use your computer, and seeing your history, come upon this site, and then problems will most likely arise. In other words, be very careful with information you give out.
2. In that same vein, DO NOT post other people's names in your journals either. Don't use first names and definitely do not use last names. This is mostly just in case someone you know stumbles across your journal or oasis in general. People are smarter and more paranoid than you think. So if you spend two or three paragraphs waxing poetic about how sexy Johnny Everyboy's ass is, and someone finds it, there's not much by way of excuses that could get you out of that one, especially if it's Johnny Everyboy who finds it.
3. Let me spell out something that I think almost every long time member has either been a part of or has had to deal with: Journal catfights are not fun to partake in, nor are they fun to read. "But Icarus, what are journal catfights?" you ask. Journal catfights are when two (or more) Oasis members, real-life friends or not, decide for some reason that they hate each other's guts for the time being. Someone starts it by posting a rather nasty, passive-aggressive journal, sometimes naming names, sometimes not. This leads to the other person commenting on the journal with something equally nasty. The fight can continue either through commenting or journals. Either way, it's not a good idea, for myriad reasons.
A.) It is extremely to take up the main page with your bickering when other people just want to read about their friends' day and various other thoughts. We all come here to de-stress, and to read two people's bitching is just a downer.
B.) Emotionally, how does this help you or anyone else? Fighting online helps no one and from experience, I can say it's quite pointless to hash it out in public when PMs are just as easy.
C.) What do you do when someone's not answering their PMs? Get over it. Let them settle down. Don't post a journal full of cruelty just to guarantee they'll see it. That only fuels the fire.
D.) I probably can't stress this enough, so I'll say it again. People do not want to read journals about two people fighting. It's selfish and completely inappropriate to assume that people want to waste their time skipping through the catfight journals to actually find out about other things. Just don't do it.
4. If you are experiencing suicidal or harmful thoughts, and have been for a while, yeah posting journals is great, but 99% of the comments to that journal are going to be encouraging you to get help. Jeff has done a very good job of posting many different resources you can reach out to in your time of need. We love it when you post journals to let us know that you're okay, but if you're down that low, give maybe one short post and then seek help, IMMEDIATELY.
5. Private issues are best kept private. By this I mean, if you need to speak to someone about something that most would consider sensitive material, don't publicly post it for all to see. Assume the other person wouldn't want it broadcast for everyone to see, even if they don't care, respect their privacy, and keep matters between yourselves.
That's about all I can think of right now. Feel free to add your own, and try to keep them in mind next time you're thinking about posting something.
i agree heartily :D
"gentlemen of france, care to fire first?"-british artilery general, 1772
"we always have been, are, and i hope always will be, detested in france"-duke welington of britan
Well I think the bitchfight one is KINDA off... We are supposed to be a FAMILY. Family argue, but the don't hold it out for months in a public area...
And I work with someone from Trevor, so if someone needs to talk they could PM me...
"Here I am with all my heart, I hope you understand. I know I let you down. But I'm never gonna make that mistake again. You brought me closer to who I really am. Come take my hand. I want the world to see, What you mean to me!" - What You Mean To M
I think calling Trevor direct is the best method for someone suicidal.
"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are." - Kurt Cobain
If you are experianceing suicidal thoughts, call direct. If you are just depressed pm me and we can talk it out.
"Here I am with all my heart, I hope you understand. I know I let you down. But I'm never gonna make that mistake again. You brought me closer to who I really am. Come take my hand. I want the world to see, What you mean to me!" - What You Mean To M
If this were Facebook I'd 'like' this. Go Icarus and go privacy.
" . . . The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it." Charles Dickens
Thank you for this helpful post.
Kind of a reality check for me lol. Thanks for opening my eyes a bit. :)
"No inappropriate behavior. Inappropriate like cursing? No, inappropriate like fucking." - But I'm a Cheerleader :-)

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)According to map, China leads world in atheism
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
May 24th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) According to a new "atheist map," which lists the number of non-believers, it's apparent that mainland China leads the globe in terms of self-identified atheists. China has the highest amount of atheists living in a single country by far, with nearly 50 percent of its population describing themselves as such. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A 2012 poll by WIN/Gallup International surveyed more than 50,000 people across 40 countries whether they considered themselves "religious," "not religious" or "convinced atheist."This comes as little surprise to many. China has the highest amount of atheists as its republic government was officially atheist when it formed in 1949. China relaxed its religious policy with the 1978 Constitution of the People's Republic of China guaranteeing "freedom of religion" in Article 36. "No state organ, public organization or individual may compel citizens to believe in, or not to believe in, any religion; nor may they discriminate against citizens because they do, or do not believe in religion," the policy reads. There has been a massive program to rebuild Buddhist and Taoist temples in China beginning in the 1980s. The Chinese government has also recently expressed support for Buddhism and Taoism, organizing the World Buddhist Forum in 2006 and the International Forum on the Daodejing in 2007. The government sees these religions as an integral part of Chinese culture. There are five religions recognized by the Chinese state: Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism, and Protestantism. However, there is still widespread skepticism surrounding organized religion in China. In Japan, where a post-WW II taboo still remains, only 31 percent remain atheists. One of the most surprising figures in the Islamic country of Saudi Arabia is five percent of the population described themselves as atheists - where this is forbidden by law. This compares to just one percent in both Iraq and Afghanistan who describe themselves as atheists. In Italy, the home of the Catholic Church, support is still strong with nearly three-fourths of Italians considering themselves as religious. Pope Francis earlier this week said atheists who are good are redeemed by Jesus in a homily urging that people of differing beliefs work together. Religion is strongest among the poor and the less educated, which correlates among the most religious countries, according to a WIN/Gallup poll. In Ghana, Nigeria, Armenia and Fiji, more than nine in 10 people say they're religious. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Internet connection information
Get a real-time look at your Internet connection with BitMeter II, but you'll need to be an experienced user.
BitMeter II offers users a real-time look at their Internet connection. This in-depth tool may appeal to those who are obsessed with performance, but will remain a mystery to casual users.
This free program downloads in the form of a small box that gives a rolling reflection of your computer's connection. This comes in the form of a graph, looking much like a heart monitor or Richter Scale measuring tape and being about as difficult for laymen to read. However, if you have the knowledge, this is a great way to hold a magnifying glass to your Internet connection. Users can set up alerts when there are specific increases or decreases in speed and volume. In addition, users can run reports to see what performance looked like (in numbers, not in a graph) for the day, the week, or even the last month of usage.
The two biggest faults we found with BitMeter II were its display and its appeal. The real-time meter has no numbers to express what the spikes on the graph actually mean. So even if a less experienced user wanted to learn, it is very difficult to get a handle on what's going on. This ties in to the program's appeal: it is almost exclusively for users with a depth of Internet connection knowledge. If you fall into this category, BitMeter II can be a great tool for monitoring performance. If you are a casual user, BitMeter II will almost certainly be confusing.

AEG - "Perfunkt" - Huge
Product Category | Home Appliances, Furniture & Gardening |
Media Type | Interactive |
Electrolux is the second largest appliance manufacturer in the world. One of its flagship brands, Germany's AEG, has a reputation for innovative design and leading edge technology, but no e-commerce or sustained consumer engagement. Electrolux challenged HUGE to inject the same ingenuity and passion into a new brand initiative and online experience, along with the original content to drive it.
Transcending e-commerce.
AEG/Electrolux came to HUGE with a puzzle: Most of their consumers buy appliances once every seven years. How can they build meaningful and sustained engagement with them? And how can it focus on the AEG's reputation and brand attributes?
First, HUGE played AEG's strengths. Combining traditional German focus on craftsmanship and performance with a passionate brand voice, it would be natural to position AEG as a true thought leader with a unique voice and compelling story. But in a market where E-commerce hasn't been fully embraced, the platform had to guide consumers through the initial purchase and occasional support. It had to engage them for engagement's sake
To design something that would resonate, HUGE set out to understand how the target interacts with product sites. Over a five-month period of extensive consumer profiling, the HUGE research team carefully outlined a comprehensive set of user engagement behaviors.
- AEG consumers are seasoned professionals and knowledgeable enthusiasts. They educate themselves independently before making high-consideration purchases. Planning and setting goals is just as important to them as pricing.
- They are perfectionists at heart with one common goal: constant improvement. The mastery of everyday tasks, especially cooking, is a personal and emotional journey that requires precision and concentration.
Perfunkt elevates brand engagement.
HUGE's Stockholm office responded with Perfunkt, an independent social platform based on the concept of "constant enhancement." With minimal branding and no product placement, Perfunkt invites visitors to share in AEG's passion for perfection with a collection of original and sourced videos showcasing experts in a variety of categories tied to the brand.
Lessons show the perfect method for everything from Steak Tartar and Apple Strudel to Steam Ironing and Stain Removal, and reflect the brand's refined aesthetic and impeccable engineering. A two-way conversation, Perfunkt supports a dialogue between users, providing them with the opportunity to submit and vote on videos, or link to their own piece of content.
HUGE produced more than 40 videos on international experts to launch the site and created a long-term engagement strategy that would allow AEG to create relevant, meaningful interactions at all levels of the purchase funnel. Engagement on it's own terms, the site successfully elevates AEG to a unique space of content creation and consumption.
Perfunkt gives a new face to the AEG brand. It immediately generated new levels of consumer engagement and is well on its way to catalyzing international conversations on the pursuit of perfection. With its new platform, AEG is leading the way in branded content and changing how brands interact with consumers online, while challenging the well-worn Facebook/YouTube/Twitter marketing conventions.
HUGE also handled the product and customer service websites for AEG and Zanussi and retooled their online content to transcend the divide between information and interaction. Based on a single platform template, they are adaptable to every country in Electrolux's global market: All product categories, site nomenclature, and pricing are supported in multiple languages, and copy upholds the voice of each brand when translated. We worked closely with stakeholders on a blueprint for the long-term maintenance and growth. And for e-commerce capabilities to be supported in the future, design was planned for seamless integration of features like shopping carts, wish lists, and online accounts.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- A man wanting narcotics attempted to rob the St. Anthony's Medical Center hospice facility early Saturday morning, police said, leading to the center being placed on lockdown for almost six hours.
Click here to view photos from the scene: Computer / Mobile
Police said around 6:30 a.m. Saturday a man wearing a ski mask and carrying a handgun entered the hospice center demanding narcotics from a male nurse. The nurse walked the suspect towards the back of the center. The intruder then ran out of the building without narcotics, according to police.
Immediately following the attempted robbery, it was unknown if the suspect had left the building, which forced tactical units to do a thorough sweep. It was later determined the man left the building.
St. Anthony's Medical Center was on lockdown until authorities checked all buildings and lifted the lockdown around 12:15 p.m.
Police said they originally responded to the call as a hostage situation, but said later no one was taken hostage.
The hospice facility is located on the campus of St. Anthony's Medical Center in South County, but is not directly connected to the hospital.

Police and hospital officials said they are unsure how the man was able to enter the secured building.
