In September of 2010, our family moved to Charlotte, NC to volunteer with an inner city youth ministry called One7. It was founded in 2008 and now has kids from Africa, Vietnam, Burma, Mexico, El Salvador and the United States. The One7 vision: To reach and transform inner city communities and families by intentionally forming cross cultural youth ministry teams while focusing on holistic change and spiritual growth. We are a part of something so much bigger than ourselves, and we have never regretted the decision to move. One thing we have come to understand is that everyone has a story. All it takes is some time and active participation in someone's life to develop a personal relationship. Just because a person is smiling on the outside, does not mean they are not ripped apart inside.
Meet Pablo. He is from Argentina and one of our most outspoken leaders at One7. On and off the soccer field, he demonstrates his passion not only for the game of soccer, but also his love for God. So many lives have been touched and changed by his words. He is an inspiration to all who meet him. He has a very bright future, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for his life.
I asked Pablo to write out his testimony.
Growing up as a child, I had everything a kid might desire. My father was a successful manager of a steel company in New Jersey. Consequently, I become spoiled and selfish. I began to create this image that the universe revolved around me. Greed, lust, and idolatry were words that could describe the person I was becoming.
About six years ago, my life was completely turned around when my father lost his job. I lost everything I had. My friends, my home, even my self-value…all were gone. I was so enveloped by the little world I had created that money and material items had come to define who I was.
Watching my parents fight, having little to no food, wearing hand me downs to school, and not having any money humbled me to the bone. Life became a daily pain. Pushing through every day knowing that my family might not have even a piece of bread to eat for dinner was depressing. As I look back, I am reminded of the ways I would escape the pain of having a hole in my heart. Even until this day, I am embarrassed to speak about it. I was introduced to things that no child should ever go trough at such a young age.
Although I could temporarily escape my pains, nothing was permanent. While on a mission trip to Kingsport, TN, we attended a youth service at Higher Ground Baptist Church. The pastor preached about a man named Jesus. Growing up with a religious family, the story was not new to me. I had heard it many times, but for reasons I cannot explain, this time is was completely different.
I felt as if the pastor was speaking directly to me. He kept repeating the words, "He loves you!" The phrase echoed in my mind. Tears began to gently flow down my cheeks. For the first time in my life, I felt as if my heart had melted. I could not explain why, or how, but I felt as if the world was lifted off of my shoulders. The feeling of being cleaned and renewed engulfed every thought in my brain. Jesus had come to Earth to die for me! I considered myself garbage at that point, but God looked at me and said, "You are mine."
I am still not a perfect human being, but I have come a long way. To me, every day that I wake up is a new day to glorify the God that forgave me and died for me. Greed, selfishness, and lust are all temptations that I still struggle with today, but Ephesians 6:10 encourages me to keep fighting for His glory. I now realize that no matter how much the world around me is falling apart, it is continuously in His hands and under His control. I have nothing to worry about.
If you have ever felt this way or maybe you feel like giving up, I strongly encourage you to seek Him. He is always knocking at the door of your heart. It's just a matter of if you want to let Him in. He died for you, so why not live for Him?
Make sure to follow me on Twitter and/or Facebook by clicking on the appropriate link to the right. Thanks!
Have a blessed day,

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
German Texans are an ethnic category belonging to residents of the state of Texas who acknowledge German ancestry and self-identify with the term. From their first immigration to Texas in the 1830s, the Germans tended to cluster in ethnic enclaves. A majority settled in a broad, fragmented belt across the south-central part of the state.[1] In 1990, about three million Texans considered themselves at least part German.[2] German Texans form a subgroup of German Americans.
A large portion of the early settlers were Forty-Eighters, who dispersed into areas of Central Texas, where, after a period of activism during the 1850s, Civil War and Reconstruction, they lived in relative obscurity as teachers, civil servants, merchants, farmers, and ranchers.[3]
The Adelsverein, or Verein zum Schutze deutscher Einwanderer in Texas (Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas), was a group of Germans dedicated to colonizing Texas in the 1800s.[2]
German-American cultural institutions in Texas include the Sophienburg Museum in New Braunfels, the Pioneer Museum in Fredericksburg,[4] the Witte-Schmid Haus Museum in Austin County.[5] the German-Texan Heritage Society,[6] and the Texas German Society.[7]

Ben Caldwell wants to tell you about page composition, see?
I know I link to Ben Caldwell a lot, but that's only because he's awesome. When he's not sharing someone else's suggestions for creating interesting visuals for stories, he's sharing his own. And explaining how film noir helps inform his choices. There's even more in today's post. Great stuff for process junkies.

ben's work is great, but he also made Wonder Woman in Wednesday Comics un-readable. So I take what he suggests with a grain of salt.
@Laura: I thought his Wonder Woman was at least interesting. I'd rather see someone try something neat and fail than just create something bland. WW was far from the worst strip in Wednesday Comics.
@laura nope, sorry. the panels might have been too small and the lettering might have been weird, but i'll put the actual panel drawing and composition up against anyone.
except darwyn cooke, but that's just cause he could punch me in the face.
and thanks again, michael!!!

15 Best Hotel Restaurants Around the World 2013
Hotels haven't always been places connected with great dining options, as costly room service, modest minibar snacks, and a dining room offering a simple menu of mediocre food were for years the only food options available at most hotels. It was only about two decades ago when hotels began to recognize that a good in-house option for dining could be a serious asset. The fact that the restaurant is connected to a hotel might bring the extra bonus of optional overnight stays, but a truly excellent restaurant will soon be known as its own establishment, instead of just "the hotel restaurant." This list seeks to pay homage to hotel restaurants around the world; establishments that have proven to stand out as excellent destinations for a memorable meal.
These hotel restaurants aren't your only change to eat cuisine by some of these culinary heavy-hitters. Check out our collection of most scientific meals in world for some other chances to dine on the work of chefs like José Andrés.

Forbes has Low Opinion of Alabama Colleges
- Details
07 Aug 2012
By Brandon Moseley
Alabama Political Reporter
Forbes Magazine came out with its' rankings of the nation's universities and colleges. Most of the names in the top twenty (with a couple of exceptions) were what most of us would expect. Princeton took the top college title this year. They were followed by Princeton, Williams College, Stanford, the University of Chicago, Yale, Harvard, the United States Military Academy (West Point), Columbia, Pomona, Swarthmore, MIT, Notre Dame, Amherst, Bowdoin, Washington and Lee, Wellesly, Penn, the California Institute of Technology, Brown, and Vasser. Washington and Lee University in Virginia is the top Southern School followed by Duke in North Carolina at #24 and Davidson College in North Carolina at #30. What was disappointing to many is how poorly the Alabama colleges and Universities performed.
The top SEC school is (of course ) Vanderbilt at #33. The highest ranked school with a ~state of Alabama style focus on football is the University of Florida at #80. Conservative Hillsdale College weighs in at a respectable #82 in the Country. The University of Southern California is far from being the highest ranked school in their state but they still posted a respectable #95. Texas is #104. Millsaps College in Mississippi is #122. Georgia comes in at #125. Tulane is #129 and the University of Miami is #132. New SEC member Texas A&M comes in at #149. Transylvania University in Kentucky soundly scored ahead of all the Alabama colleges and Universities at #186.
The highest ranked college in the state of Alabama is Birmingham Southern College at # 211. The 1305 student college near Legion Field ranked in between the University of Oregon and Dayton. Clemson is #218. The United States Merchant Marine Academy is #233. Samford in Homewood finished at # 241, behind the University of Delaware, but they are the second highest ranked college or university in the state of Alabama. Arkansas at #263 and Ole Miss at #270 edged out Auburn University at just # 271. The Tigers were followed closely by their rivals at the University of Alabama at #274. LSU is the #299 ranked school in the country. Tennessee is #365. The University of Alabama at Huntsville is #379. Mississippi State is ranked #397. The University of Kentucky is number 410. Oral Roberts in Oklahoma is #436. Louisiana Tech is # 503. Southern Miss is #517 and is cheaper than UAB at # 527. UAB is the largest employer in the state of Alabama, but Illinois College, Drexel, and Montana Tech of the University of Montana all ranked ahead of UAB. Jackson State in Mississippi is #530. The University of South Alabama is #545. Tuskegee University is #621 and Troy University is #636.
The state of Alabama excels in football, but according to Forbes not so much in the actual classrooms.

EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD Classified Video Card Review
Mon, Sep 19, 2011 - 12:00 AM
Jump To:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat benchmark uses the XRAY 1.6 Engine that was partially developed by the some of the same people behind the 4A Metro 2033 engine. The XRAY engine leverages DirectX 11 for GPU tessellation to improve performance and features HDR rendering, parallax mapping, soft shadows, motion blur, weather effects and day/night cycles.
We once again cranked up the settings to test how the EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD Classified would perform against the others we have put on this bench.
The EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD Classified once again is at the top of the pack but not by nearly as much of a margin as the other benchmarks. In this case is performed 13% and 16% better than the HD 6970 but either card would give you playable frame rates for this title even running at 2560 x 1600 resolution.

Story pick: Janet Cooke and "Jimmy's World"
September 28th marked the 30-year anniversary of The Post's publication of "Jimmy's World," a front page story about an 8-year-old boy with a heroin habit, who, it turned out, didn't exist.
The story catapulted its author, Janet Cooke, then 26, to renown, earning her a Pulitzer Prize, and shortly thereafter, to infamy. Her journalism career came to a crashing halt and The Post suffered a painful blow.
Technology has made it easy to look back at the scandal and contemporary coverage of its aftermath. The online archives chronicle her fall from grace and subsequent disappearance from public view. Her name occasionally resurfaces in stories about other fabulists masquerading as journalists, such as Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass. Still the best telling of the tale is The Post's own encyclopedic dissection of what happened. The story itself has been immortalized on the Web with the following addendum:
Correction: The following article is not factually correct and is a fabrication by the author. For a detailed account of how it came to be published by The Washington Post, please see the article by Bill Green, then the newspaper's reader ombudsman, published in The Post on April 19, 1981.
I had never read the original story until now. Knowing that Jimmy is fabricated going into it made it nearly impossible for me to have a normal reaction, which I presume would have been shock. I still find Green's epic post mortem, most compelling for what it revealed not only about Cooke, but the culture of the newsroom at the time.
As for Cooke, the last time the public heard from her, 14 years ago, she was working in a department store for $6 an hour. That was also the first time she spoke publicly about the scandal, giving an interview to her former boyfriend, writer Mike Sager, who published it in GQ. In that piece, she tried to explain her lifelong compulsion to lie as a product of her upbringing at the hands of a stern father who kept such tight control of the family pursestrings that his wife and children would buy things behind his back. "The conclusion I've come to is that lying, from a very early age, was the best survival mechanism available," Cooke told Sager.
She also said what drove her to fabricate Jimmy was not some grand desire to win prizes, but a far more banal one. She wanted to get away from a boss she didn't like and hoped the story would be her ticket to another spot in the newsroom.
Richard Prince, who blogs for the Maynard Institute, recently got in touch with Sager, who told him that while he hadn't seen her since 1996, he was still in touch with Cooke and gets an email from her now and then. As for where she is and what she's going, Sager was mum, telling Prince, "I'm not at liberty to divulge her whereabouts."

Amazon's cloud music service gets major label licensing
By Loh Ving Sung GooglePlus
18 June 2012 – Amazon's Cloud Drive and Cloud Player services is getting fully licensed, by four major record labels. According to CNET's sources EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner already signed up with Amazon, with Warner being the first the sign.
With the licenses, Amazon is expected to have the right the access their users hard drive to see what songs they possess – similar to Apple's iTunes Match. Amazon can just give their users access copies of the songs on Amazon's library instead. This should take away the need for users upload all their songs to Amazon's service. Labels called the scan-and-distribute model as copyright violation.
Record labels should come away happier from the deal as well, who earlier last year said that Amazon and Google's cloud services were not entirely legal without licenses. And while we wait for Amazon to seal the deal officially, Google will be the only service left without a license.

Cannabis plants do give off a different heat signal than other plants. Granted, outdoor grows aren't found via infared as much as indoor grows, but it is done, and it is a danger for lare scale grows. But if you're only growing a few plants, if you space them out nicely, I wouldn't worry about it.
And word from the growers is that cedar trees give off a similar heat signal, and those can be used as protection from choppers. I think it's cedar trees, anyway. :P
Infrared is used to detect large grow houses or large outdoor fields. Large grow houses give a lot of heat from the lights, and large grow fields show up at a certain frequency because cannabis has a very unique heat signature... a very hot one, actually.
If your growing less then 10 I wouldn't worry about it. Just try to blend your plants in with the natural environment and you should be fine unless a hunter stumbles up on them or something like that. Don't worry about.
I worry too much, to be honest. I actually bought a motion sensitive camera (the kind that game hunters use) to give me peace of mind. I have it on a tree overlooking my grow. If anything steps in the area it snaps a shot of them and keeps it on a memory card, day or night (infrared flash for no visibility). I have a lock on it so no one can mess with it and erase the evidence. I get pics of deer and rabbits all the time. If I ever see a person in my grow spot... then I know not to ever go back.
Plus I can always check the memory card before I do work on my plants, so the worst evidence against me if someone is staking the plants out is that I had a camera in the area. Like I said though, I worry to much. Cops (in my state at least) just trash your plants if they find them...

Tommi Trudeau, Rob Nelson and Nonie Darwish joined The Glazov Gang this week and fought it out over the silence about Islam in our society. Below are all three parts of a three-part-series. Part I deals with The Fate of a Chinese Dissident, Part II involves the debate over whether Obama can legitimately blame his problems on Bush, and Part III focuses on how criticizing Islam is increasingly becoming forbidden.

Master Bathroom Renovation
I need some design ideas for my master bathroom renovation. Please refer to
http://www.shawnaugust.com/imageviewer.aspx?folderpath=/PICS/HOME/OAKLAND/PROJECTS/PROJECT_MASTERBATHROOM_RENO for pictures including the floor plan. I have received labor estimates between $12-$18K so I expect the entire cost to be ~$25,000. I have spent countless hours on houzz trying to get ideas but I can't make up my mind on what I want. Aside from not being a visual person, this is new territory for me as I not even sure where to source materials locally. I prefer buying online but I am not familiar with what I am buying so I am not comfortable unless I know what I am buying.
Here's what I am looking to do:
1) Replaced jetted tub with freestanding soaker tub and move under window; Width from wall-to-wall is 74". Does this mean I can accomodate any tub under 74"? All tubs appear to be the same sans the material? Do I care if it is acrlyic?
2) Tub moved from corner install to under window gains much needed real estate for a new expresso vanity (~100-110" width). I want a double undermount sink vanity with middle seating area w/ stool for wife's makeup station. I am surprised that I can't find this anywhere and will need to be custom built. Should this be made of pine? oak? Does it really matter? I am going to use Carrara marble throughout the bathroom but concerned about using it as the vanity top (wife will scratch/stain the hell out of it). Could I use another material even with all of the marble? Concerned wife will stain/scratch the hell out of it.
3) Floor/Wall Tile - 12X12 Carrara marble on the floor, 3X6 subway tile in the shower all the way to the ceiling, hex tile on the shower floor, tile on the walls from floor to the bottom of the window all the way around the bathroom; I like the look of a horizontal glass mosasic (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/132504414009684502/) and then a crown molding. Any other ideas? Should I introduce 12X12 in the shower to tie into the floor? Should I also tile the shower's ceiling? Toilet alcove? 2 small walls to the left and right of the door? Should I use a different mosaic for the shower's niche? How do you determine tile sq. footage for floor and wall? Different tile sizes will require cutting (and waste). How is that determined?
4) Increase shower's length by ~12" into the toilet alcove and shower's width by ~9" by moving the door out to the edge of the door frame; new pivot frameless glass door; the wall from the shower door to the vanity will need to moved in to accomodate the new shower width. Large tile cut-out in the wall for shower supplies and a bench for the wife to shave, etc.
5) Add 3 mirrors above each sink and makeup area and 3 light fixtures above mirror; Would consider large mirror but not sure if that's reasonable
6) Replace medicine cabinet in side wall. I HATE it. Can 2 of the mirrors be used in stead? Is that possible as it is an exterior wall or will it sit flush against the wall?
7) There is an existing air vent but not an exhaust fan. I'd like to add exhaust fan and perhaps a nice chandelier but wife thinks it will be too busy.
I'd appreciate opinions and or suggestion
1) Tubs generally come in two standard sizes: 60" and 66". Both will fit in your 74" space. Just double check the specs to make sure before ordering. The main consideration will be allowing space for the water pipes/faucet.
2) You're right that there won't be a mass produced vanity that will cleanly fit your exact space and have a lower, "sit down" area just where you want it. You'll need to go custom or semi custom.
Pine is a soft wood and has knots; it's a good look for a rustic bathroom. Oak has obvious graining which has caused it to fall out of favor over the last decade. Look at using maple as it's a small grained wood that takes a wide variety of stains well. Birch is another option and may be lower priced than maple. If you want to go very low end, there's laminate over mdf board, but if you're choosing high end materials like Carrera tile it would be a real mismatch for your bathroom.
You should definitely not use a porous stone like marble for the countertop if you are concerned about stains and scratches. Look into granite or quartz to coordinate with your tile choices.
5) Sounds really busy, but I'm no designer. You might search for photos of bathroom with mirrors and lights on houzz.com and see what appeals most to you.
6) Mirrors can be situated along any wall, interior or exterior. It will sit flush is the wall is level.
7) I think every bathroom needs at least one exhaust fan to handle humidity and steam from the shower and bath. As far as the chandy, it might look wonderful or it might look too busy (especially if you go with all those mirrors and lights). Consider searching houzz.com again for inspiration photos to guide you.
" Look at using maple as it's a small grained wood that takes a wide variety of stains well. Birch is another option and may be lower priced than maple."
Not to be contrary but the woodworker I live with disagrees. Maple generally takes most stains horribly. It's usually consider paint grade like poplar. Birch is a bit better, but to get an espresso finish you might consider using (or asking for) an aniline dye and dark toner on whatever wood you use depending on how much grain you want to see. Pine is pretty soft for something that gets daily use unless you like "patina".
Just my opinion- Lisa

Tiger Woods replies to challenge
NEWPORT, Wales -- There is nothing like a little extra motivation for Tiger Woods -- perceived or otherwise -- heading into a big event.
So it took little time Tuesday for the subject of Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy to come up at Celtic Manor.
Wojciechowski: A Different Tiger's Tale
The Ryder Cup is set up perfectly for a tour de force Tiger comeback: an international stage on which he can flaunt his red, white and blue blood. Just one thing. He needs to win, writes ESPN.com's Gene Wojciechowski. Story
McIlroy has been outspoken in recent weeks about getting the opportunity to play in the Ryder Cup against Woods, given the world No. 1's recent lackluster form.
"I would love to face him," McIlroy, who won the Quail Hollow Championship in May for his first PGA Tour victory, said in an interview with the BBC last month. "Unless his game rapidly improves in the next month or so, I think anyone in the European team would fancy his chances against him."
Asked his reaction to McIlroy's comments, Woods wasted few words.
"Me, too," he said.
Asked if he cared to elaborate, Woods said, "No."
The Ryder Cup is always about those spicy little moments, and Woods has long been known to carry such grudges to the tee.
Asked his reaction to McIlroy's comments, Woods wasted few words. "Me too," he said. Asked if he cared to elaborate, Woods said, "No."
He didn't take kindly to Vijay Singh's caddie having the words "Tiger Who?" stitched to his cap at the 1998 Presidents Cup.
And when Stephen Ames pointed out in 2006 that Woods had been driving the ball erratically on the eve of their match at the Accenture Match Play Championship, Woods defeated him by the second-largest possible margin in an 18-hole match, 9 and 8.
When asked later if Ames' comments had inspired him, Woods responded, "As I said, 9 and 8."
McIlroy tried to downplay his previous comments about Woods, pointing out that he uttered them the week following the Bridgestone Invitational, where Woods had his worst 72-hole tournament as a pro.
"So he wasn't playing too well at that time," McIlroy said. "He's obviously getting his game together, and he's working with Sean Foley and he's making a few swing changes. I said this week and last week, I don't mind who. I just want to win points against the team."
There had been rumblings that Woods approached McIlroy at the recent BMW Championship near Chicago to basically say, "Be careful what you wish for." But McIlroy denied Tuesday that such a conversation took place.
A meeting between the two this week would have to come somewhat by chance.
The pairings for the three-day competition are made by a blind draw, although it has become quite clear that McIlroy will play with reigning U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell, and they might even lead off the proceedings Friday morning.
In that case, does U.S. captain Corey Pavin send out Woods first along with his suspected partner, Steve Stricker?
Pavin, unlike his European counterpart Colin Montgomerie, is keeping his pairings guarded. And Woods would not confirm any possibilities, either.
"We'll find out," Woods said, smiling.
This will be Woods' sixth Ryder Cup dating to his rookie year in 1997. He missed the 2008 matches while recovering from knee surgery, the year the United States won for the first time since 1999.
His overall record of 10-13-2 often has been used as an example of his indifference toward the event. The Americans are 1-4 in those matches.
"It would be great to get a win and I'm looking forward to getting out there and contributing and hopefully get some points and hopefully we can get this thing done," he said.
Tuesday was the first day of practice on the Twenty Ten course at Celtic Manor, designed specifically for the Ryder Cup. What began under a light drizzle soon gave way to mild sunshine, only for rain to arrive toward the afternoon.
Based on the foursomes both captains sent out, there were no surprises.
Europe started on the back nine with Francesco and Edoardo Molinari playing with McIlroy and McDowell. Ian Poulter, Luke Donald, Padraig Harrington and Ross Fisher brought up the rear.
Woods played alongside Stricker, with whom he was 4-0 at the Presidents Cup a year ago. They were joined by Hunter Mahan and Zach Johnson, while the anchor foursomes were Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson with Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler, the 21-year-old who became the first PGA Tour rookie to be picked for the Ryder Cup.
Bob Harig is a golf writer for ESPN.com. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
In his career, the Ryder Cup has meant everything to Colin Montgomerie. That's why leading the Europeans to victory Monday as captain stands as a crowning achievement. Bob Harig | Championship Central

Ohio House Bill 487 and the New Ohio Facilities Construction Commission
On June 11, Governor Kasich signed Amended Substitute House Bill 487 (titled Mid-Biennium Review Management Efficiency Plan) into law. HB 487 provides, in part, for the elimination of the State Architect's office and the creation of a new Ohio Facilities Construction Commission ("OFCC"). The State Architect's office was formed almost a century for the purpose of building and maintaining Ohio's canals and transportation system. With the passage of HB 487, the State Architect's office will be subsumed under the OFCC whose role will be to administer the design and construction of improvements to public facilities of the State of Ohio.

On June 30, 2011, Ohio Governor John Kasich signed into law HB 153, the biennial budget legislation, which includes significant reforms to Ohio's public construction laws. Although the construction reforms set forth in HB 153 will take effect September 30th, there are a number of rules that the Department of Administrative Services ("DAS") must issue pursuant to HB 153.

Mandatory Transition to 2007 AIA Contract Documents Set for May 31, 2009
The widely used construction industry contracts and forms produced by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) underwent major revisions with the release of the 2007 contract documents. The AIA documents are revised approximately once every 10 years, and the 2007 revisions relate to more than 40 revised, updated, or new documents including some new Owner/Architect agreements (B101, B102, B103, B104) and the traditional Owner/Contractor/Subcontractor agreements (A101, A102, A103, A107, A201, A401). Notwithstanding these updates, there are still many AIA contract documents which pre-date 2007 and can continue to be used (A101/CMa-1992, B141-1997, etc.). Read More ›

BIA/Kelsey Study Shows Small-Business Spending on Digital Presence Trending Up, with Emphasis on Websites, Social, Mobile and Loyalty Programs
CHANTILLY, Va., Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- In the latest wave of the Local Commerce Monitor (LCM: Core - Wave 16, Q3 2012), BIA/Kelsey's ongoing tracking survey of small and medium-sized businesses conducted with research partner Ipsos, SMBs reported spending, on average, $1,190 during the previous 12 months on websites and other Web properties, such as social networks and mobile optimized sites, up from $876 in Wave 15 (conducted in Q4 2011).
) "While total annual spending on advertising and promotion remained flat at around $3,000 for the previous 12 months, SMBs are allocating more of their marketing dollars to digital presence assets," said Steve Marshall, director of research, BIA/Kelsey. "From Web presence and mobile websites to social media, small businesses are building deeper and broader engagement with customers across a range of digital presence platforms." Social media, propelled by Facebook, appears to be rapidly evolving into a core medium for SMB advertising and promotion. Among LCM: Core - Wave 16 respondents, 63 percent report they now use social media.
In addition, mobile platforms, and the advertising/promotion formats that ride on them, have gained significant traction since LCM: Core - Wave 15, in which only 8.7 percent of respondents reported having a mobile website. In Wave 16, 14.7 percent report having a mobile website, with another 22 percent saying they intend to add one within the next 12 months.
More than half (55.3 percent) of the SMBs surveyed report they use (34 percent) or plan to use (21.3 percent) customer loyalty programs, defined as "offering discounts or special promotions to frequent customers." Local Commerce Monitor Wave 16 was conducted in August 2012 via an online survey of 600 SMBs, consisting of two samples of 300 - LCM: Core (no minimum annual advertising and promotion spend) and LCM: Plus Spenders (minimum annual spend of $25,000). The findings highlighted in this press release are from the LCM: Core sample.
Upcoming Presentations of LCM Data In a free webinar on Nov. 8, BIA/Kelsey analysts will preview the LCM data that will be presented at the firm's Interactive Local Media West conference, taking place Dec. 4-6, in Los Angeles. This year's conference theme is "Leading in Local," and will feature BIA/Kelsey's latest local research and analysis, including spotlights on sales force transformation, mobile, deals, big data and local loyalty platforms. Conference details and registration are available at

Joan Rivers on Whitney Houston: "She Was Fair Game"
Facebook.com |
The Fashion Police comedian had a front row seat at Badgely Mishka this week. Naturally, we just had to chat her up backstage.
She was everything we expected her to be: loaded with make up, with a personality like a pistol and an accent only a lifetime in New York and a pack a day could create. But what we weren't ready for is a full-blown gossip session about the recent death of Whitney Houston she gave us.
Cultist: Are you having fun at New York Fashion Week?
Joan Rivers: For sure. It's one opening night after the next.
Have you run into any celebs who you've not given the best review on Fashion Police?
My job is to be a critic, so that is what I have to do. I don't run into them because I am not invited anywhere.
You definitely talked about Whitney Houston when she was alive. Is there any part of that kind of feels bad for talking bad about her now?
No. When you're alive, and you're a celebrity, you're fair game. We are reporters and we report. Am I sorry she died? Of course. If Angelina Jolie died tomorrow, I would have still said she was anorexic.
Well, I know I should be boo-hooing and I am terribly sorry. She was a great talent, but the main story here that no one is talking about is don't let your kids turn to drugs. Don't put a million dollars worth of stuff up your nose. The ending is always going to be bad.
You definitely think it was drugs?
There is no question. I told my grandson, you take drugs, this is what happens. There is no happy ending with drugs.

Of Parnell's 94 minor-league appearances, 92 came as a starter. He technically has four pitches - a fastball, sinker, slider and changeup - although he's relied mostly on the fastball/sinker combo as a reliever since his Sept.15 debut last season. Minor-league teammates used to rib Parnell because his velocity would reside in the low-90s, then leap 5 mph when he got into trouble.Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseb ... z0NW7R8QJK

This start will tell us a lot on where he is in terms of being able to throw his other pitches effectively for strikes. I would imagine that he will be on a strict pitch count seeing as he has been in the pen all year and it was a very impulsive decision to start him. I would take a wait and see approach.

Nigel Short
Nigel Short | |
Full name | Nigel David Short |
Country | England |
Born | Leigh, England |
1 June 1965
Title | Grandmaster |
FIDE rating | 2664 (March 2015) (No. 79 in the June 2014 FIDE World Rankings) |
Peak rating | 2712 (April 2004) |
Nigel David Short MBE (born 1 June 1965) is an English chess grandmaster, chess columnist, chess coach and chess commentator. Short earned the Grandmaster title at the age of 19, and was ranked third in the world by FIDE from January 1988 to July 1989. In 1993 he became the first English player to play a World Chess Championship match, when he qualified to play Garry Kasparov in the World Chess Championship 1993 in London, but lost.
Early life[edit]
Short was born 1 June 1965 in Leigh, Lancashire. He grew up in Atherton, going to the St Philip's Primary School on Bolton Old Road. He studied at the independent Bolton School and Leigh College. He was a member both of Atherton Chess Club, which was founded by his father, David, and later of Bolton Chess Club,[1] which had initially rejected him, aged seven, for being too young.
Prodigy to grandmaster[edit]
A chess prodigy, Short first attracted significant media attention, as a 10-year-old, by defeating Viktor Korchnoi in a simultaneous exhibition. In 1977 he became the youngest ever participant in the British Chess Championship by qualifying three days before his twelfth birthday. Two years later, at the British Championship in Chester 1979, the 14-year-old tied for first place with John Nunn and Robert Bellin, earning his first IM norm. He became (at the time) the youngest International Master in chess history, by scoring 8/15 in the Hastings Premier in 1979/80 and thus breaking Bobby Fischer's record of 1958.[2] Participating in four World Junior Championships (1980–1983), Short achieved his best result during his first attempt in which he placed second to Garry Kasparov in 1980 at Dortmund. He was awarded the grandmaster title in 1984, aged nineteen—becoming the youngest grandmaster in the world at that time.
World Championship candidate[edit]
Short's assaults on the World Chess Championship title began in earnest in 1985 when he narrowly qualified from the Biel Interzonal to become Britain's first-ever candidate. He needed a playoff to advance past John van der Wiel and Eugenio Torre for the last berth, after the three had tied in regulation play. The Montpellier Candidates Tournament brought Short little success, however, as he scored 7/15 to finish in tenth place. In the next cycle, he again qualified by winning the 1987 Subotica Interzonal with Jon Speelman. The Candidates stage had by this time reverted to its traditional match format: Short defeated Gyula Sax (+2=3) in Saint John, Canada, in 1988, but then unexpectedly lost (−2=3) to his countryman, Jon Speelman, in London.
His next attempt was to prove his most successful. A last round victory over Mikhail Gurevich enabled Short to finish equal third with Viswanathan Anand, behind Vassily Ivanchuk and Boris Gelfand, at the Manila Interzonal, thus qualifying as a Candidate for the third successive time. Defeating Gelfand (+4−2=2) in the 8/Final, he progressed to meet his former nemesis, Jon Speelman, in the quarters. This struggle went into extra-time in which the younger man eventually prevailed. In the semi-final, in 1992, the Englishman overcame the former World Champion Anatoly Karpov (+4−2=4) in a match that was described as "the end of an era". In the final, in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Short defeated Dutchman Jan Timman (+5−3=5) to earn the right to meet defending World Champion Garry Kasparov.
According to Short and Kasparov, the head of the chess world's governing body FIDE, Florencio Campomanes, decided on the location of the match (Manchester) and the prize fund without consulting them, in breach of FIDE rules. The British WIM and author Cathy Forbes, in her book Nigel Short: Quest for the Crown (Cadogan 1993), wrote that at no time in the 1993 bidding process was a conforming World Championship match bid actually received by FIDE. In response, Short and Kasparov promptly formed a rival organisation, the Professional Chess Association. The resulting match—sponsored by The Times newspaper—was held under the auspices of the new body in London, from September to October 1993. Kasparov won convincingly (+6−1=13)- the largest margin of victory in a world title contest since Botvinnik defeated Tal in 1961. Short's play came in for heavy criticism from BBC commentators Bill Hartston and Tony Miles.
Tournament and match results[edit]
Short won the British Chess Championship in 1984, 1987, and 1998, and the English Championship in 1991. He was the Commonwealth Champion in 2004, 2006 (both Mumbai) and 2008 (Nagpur). He won the 2006 EU Individual Open Chess Championship in Liverpool and took a share of second place in the 2008 edition, when it was held there again. He has finished outright first, or tied for first, in dozens of other international tournaments including Geneva (1979), Belfort, World Under 16 (1979), the BBC Master Game (1981), Amsterdam OHRA (1982), Baku (1983), Esbjerg (1984), British Rapidplay Chess Championship (1986), Wijk aan Zee (1986, 1987), Reykjavík (1987), Amsterdam VSB (1988, 1991, 1992, 1993), Hastings (1987/88, 1988/89), Pärnu (1996), Groningen (1996), Tallinn/Pärnu (1998), Isle of Man Monarch Assurance 1998, Dhaka United Insurance (1999), Shymkent (1999), Pamplona (1999/2000), Linares Open (2000), Tan Chin Nam Cup, Beijing (2000), Sigeman and Co. Malmö (2002, 2009, 2013 joint first shared with Richárd Rapport and Nils Grandelius), Gibraltar (2003, 2004, 2012), Budapest Hunguest Hotels (2003), Samba Cup, Skanderborg (2003), Taiyuan (2004), the Politiken Cup (2006), Bazna (2008), the Staunton Memorial (2009) Thailand Open (2011, 2012), Luanda (2011), 7th Edmonton International (2012), Bunratty (2012), RA Club Ottawa (2012), Pühajärve Rapid Chess Tournament (2012), and Spicenet Tanzania Open (2013).
Short won the 50th edition of the Canadian Open Chess Championship in Ottawa in 2013, edging Canadian Grandmaster Eric Hansen on tiebreak, after both finished with unbeaten 7½/9 scores.[3]
Arguably Short's finest tournament performance came at the Amsterdam VSB tournament in 1991, where he tied for first place with Valery Salov ahead of both Kasparov and Karpov.
Short has enjoyed considerable success as a matchplayer, beating US Champion Lev Alburt in Foxborough, Massachusetts in 1985 by the score of 7–1 (+6=2). He has also defeated Utut Adianto (+3=3) in Jakarta 1995, Étienne Bacrot in Albert 2000 (+3−1=2), Hannes Stefansson in Reykjavík 2002 (+4−1=1), Ehsan Ghaem Maghami in Tehran 2003 (+2=4) and Zahar Efimenko in Mukachevo 2009 (+2−1=3). Short lost to Joel Benjamin by 2½–1½ at London 1983, drew with Eugenio Torre (+1−1=4) in Manila 1988, drew with Timman (3–3) in an exhibition match at Hilversum in 1989, defeated Boris Gulko in extra games in the PCA Candidates' quarter-finals at New York 1994, and lost to Gata Kamsky by (5½–1½) in the PCA semi-finals at Linares 1995.
In a return to Tehran in March 2013, Short played a second match against the Iranian player Ehsan Ghaem Maghami. Billed as Talking Chess, the contest comprised four games with a classic time control, four games of rapid chess and eight games of blitz. As the classic games progressed, the players gave an intermittent live commentary, aimed at increasing the understanding of the live and television audiences, who could contrast and compare the player's own thoughts and assessments. Short won the classic games (+2=2), the rapid games (+3−1) and the blitz games (+3−2=3).[4]
International team record[edit]
A perennial fixture on the English national team, Short made his international team debut in the Euroteams at age seventeen at Plovdiv 1983, and has represented England continuously ever since. Short's main highlights are: team silver medals in the chess Olympiads of Thessaloniki 1984, Dubai 1986 (where he also took gold medal for the best individual performance on board three) and Thessaloniki 1988. He took a team bronze in the Novi Sad Olympiad of 1990, and led England to fourth place finishes in both 1994 and 1996. He led the English team to victory in the 1997 Euroteams at Pula, and was a member of the bronze winning team in 1992, and of fourth place teams in 1983 and 2001. He was a member of three English teams in the World Team Championships of 1985 (team bronze), 1989 (team bronze), and 1997 (team fourth). His complete log when representing England in major team events follows.

Other activities[edit]
Short has written chess columns and book reviews for the British newspapers The Sunday Times, The Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail and The Spectator. He wrote for The Sunday Telegraph for a decade and for The Guardian between 2005 and 19 October 2006. He reported on the FIDE World Chess Championship 2005 in San Luis, Argentina, for the ChessBase website. He began a new column "Short Stories" for New in Chess magazine in January 2011. During the World Chess Championship 2013 he wrote a series of articles for The Indian Express. In 2014, he began writing a column for Financial Times, interviewing Sol Campbell in the first article. [5]
He has individually coached young prodigies Pendyala Harikrishna, Sergey Karjakin, David Howell and Parimarjan Negi. He worked as national coach of the Islamic Republic of Iran from 2006 to 2007. His first assignment led to them unexpectedly capturing a team bronze medal at the Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, in 2006. In the nine chess events at the Asian Indoor Games in Macau 2007, Iran took a silver and two bronze medals.
Short was made an Honorary Fellow of the then Bolton Institute of Higher Education in 1993 and was admitted to the Honorary degree of Doctor of Science by the University of Bolton in 2010. In 1999 he was appointed MBE, in recognition of his chess accomplishments. In August 2005, he was unanimously elected Secretary General of the Commonwealth Chess Association. In June 2006 he became its President, until stepping down in January 2008. He is the current FIDE delegate to the ECF,[6] a post held since 2009.
During important chess events in recent years, Short is often engaged for commentary as part of live broadcasts on the Internet. Chess historian Edward Winter has named him one of the top five Internet broadcasters.[7]
Following the death of Tony Miles in 2001, Short wrote an obituary in the Sunday Telegraph in which he claimed that during the 27th Chess Olympiad in Dubai he had slept with Miles' then-girlfriend.[8][9]
In 2001, Short told the Sunday Telegraph chess column that he believed he had been secretly playing the reclusive former chess champion Bobby Fischer on the online chess platform Internet Chess Club in speed chess matches.[10] Short later retracted the claim after Fischer himself denied ownership of the account.[11]
In January 2007, Short gave an interview to the Indian newspaper DNA, in which he called for an inquiry to examine allegations that Veselin Topalov cheated during the World Championship in San Luis.[12]
In the same DNA interview, Short was critical of the role of members of the Appeals Committee at the 2005 and 2006 World Championships, in particular FIDE Vice-President Zurab Azmaiparashvili whom he described as "singularly inappropriate for such work having, by his own admission, cheated in winning the 2003 European Championship." Azmaiparashvili filed a formal complaint to the FIDE Ethics Commission, which convened in July 2007. While dismissing the main complaints against Short, the Commission sanctioned him for a minor violation of the FIDE Code of Ethics for his use of the word "dunderhead".[13][14] This decision was met with derision from the British Chess Magazine.
Personal life[edit]
Short resides in Athens and is married to drama therapist Rhea Argyro Karageorgiou. The couple have two children.[15]

My Family BlessingsUpdated June 7, 2014 | |
I began my interest in genealogy through an 11th grade psychology class project. We had to do a family tree, complete with photos and an interview with the oldest living member of our family. Many students turned in 3-4 loose leaf pages and called it a day. I turned in a notebook complete with a pedigree chart, descendant reports, family group sheets, photo album and sources. When it was returned, there was a note attached (I still have the notebook and the note) with the following: "A+++ This is beyond my wildest dreams. This book will serve as a source of pride of a family legacy you have documented so that it may never be forgotten. Superb work!" This began a life long love of genealogy and preserving the legacy my ancestors have entrusted to me to pass on to future generations. My research includes the following surnames: Amos, Fort, Ivey, Weaver, Williams, Tingle, Smith, Sutton, Parker, Wise, Mackey, Lindsey, Hoard, Hatcher, Harrison, Taylor, Medlock, Phinazee, Brooks, Nelson, McCallum, and others just to name a few. I firmly believe that family history not shared is just continued family secrets. However, family history shared, helps to insure your family legacy continues for all future generations. What a gift! Need help? Contact me! Got information to offer? Contact me! Happy Hunting! |

Thanks for the Faq
Yegg - I know somewhere you or another red stated that normal queue ELO wasn't reset. Can you check? The past few games I've played today... well, I'm fairly certain that something has happened, because the people I'm playing with seem to rage a lot more, and they're a lot stupider, too. 1. A Zed AFKing to gain gold. This was how he 'farmed'. 2. A Vladimir who kept towerdiving me, dying every time 3. A Cass with smite, who went top and died repeatedly 4. Another Zed telling everybody to report our team for various things including "feeding, negative, verbal" and calling everyone kid that's just off the top of my head
I played during the Beta and I was wondering... Besides rewards earned for Season 1 and 2, are there plans on adding any Beta specific forum badge/Summoner Icons?
So there are currently issues with displaying the icons for those who earned badges in ranked teams? As in, the problems that exist are not specific to ranked teams, but all people who only earned badges from teams ARE having these issues? Not too concerned either way, just curious! Hope I get that Janna skin soon
Now we just need an FAQ explaining which icon is which

No no no no no.
Ok, I read these in high school when I was über-Christian, so it's entirely possible I missed sexism, but Perelandra = amazing. A-mazing. And I loved the woman in it. Out of This Silent Planet I don't remember too well, but PERELANDRA.
It's basically Adam and Eve, but on an aaaalien planet. And I remember the Green Lady or whatever she was called as being *awesome*. I'm rather bummed you've decided not to read it. I guess I should look at it again as a fully-fledged, less pentecostally-brainwashed adult, though. But Perelandra, along with Screwtape and The Great Divorce (obvs + Narnia) made me love Lewis to tiny pieces.

The terrible lady always wants to charge you more money. The only thing that she talked with is: I will charge you money!!! Very dirty room and unfriendly host. The reason she was ok to me first day is she want me to buy the jewelry. No Internet, no TV, no how shower! Nothing but an evil lady! 如上所示,切莫入住此家,前人之教训也。

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation figures the only way to put an end to the ongoing conflict with First Nations is to scrap the Indian Act and start again.
The idea has some merit.
Central to the federation's prescription for perennial problems plaguing the love-hate relationship between government and Canada's native population is the idea that it's time First Nations people were treated like the rest of Canadians.
The group argues that we should do away with special treatment for natives in the courts and scrap restrictions on what band members can and can't do with reserve lands.
"We need a new approach," observed the federation's Prairie director, Colin Craig, "one that treats all Canadians the same and connects aboriginal people with jobs and opportunities."
New approach.
Fresh start.
Back to Square One.
Whatever you want to call it, something has to change because, clearly, what we've been doing for generations doesn't work.
While some claim the Indian Act is archaic and merely serves to hold First Nations people back, others cling to the comfort it offers and say it affords natives protections that otherwise might have been lost over the years.
But without a modern framework that addresses today's legitimate issues surrounding consultation, self-government, revenue-sharing and environmental concerns, the relationship between government and First Nations is doomed to fester from wounds inflicted by past injustices and patriarchal attitudes.
Witness Idle No More.
While protests by First Nations succeed in getting the public's attention, they also lead to more uncertainty for people, for business and tend to cultivate an us-versus-them atmosphere that runs contrary to the promise of a prosperous future for either side.
Clearly what's needed is a fresh start with a long-term goal of revisiting the Indian Act, which was enacted in 1876 and governs the relationship between the government and Canada's First Nations.
The Gong-Show nature of last week's meeting between Prime Minister Stephen Harper and First Nations chiefs and how it came to be - or how it almost wasn't - pretty much mirrors the dysfunctional relationship the federal government has had with First Nations for decades.
The government, through the department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, pours hundreds of millions of dollars a year into First Nations reserves, where the money is presumably spent to improve conditions and prospects for band members.
But almost without fail, native leaders say it's not enough.
Apparently, it's never enough.
Then there are scathing audits such as the one done on the Attawapiskat, which showed an alarming lack of accountability for tens of millions of dollars spent on the reserve. Indeed, about 25 per cent of First Nations bands are under financial supervision ordered by the federal government.
Add to that the sky-high salaries some chiefs and band administrators award themselves and you can begin to understand why so many Canadians are skeptical about First Nations accountability and their demands for self-government.
Aboriginal Canadians must find a way to unite behind a leader - whether that's Assembly of First Nations Chief Shawn Atleo or somebody else - and present a clear set of objectives. Together with negotiators for the federal and provincial governments, they can begin to draw a road map on how to get there.
Canadians - not to mention aboriginals - are frustrated by the lack of progress on the First Nations file.
It does nobody any good to drag out a process that should be resolved over a negotiating table with the best interests of all Canadians at heart.
For that to happen, however, firm targets must be set and a way devised to measure the progress toward attaining them.
