The Hidden Power Of Your Customers – Four Keys to Growing Your Business through Existing Customers by Becky Carroll is an excellent guide to gaining new customers, but more importantly it teaches the reader how to treat their current customers to gain brand loyalty. This book is full of practical case studies with insightful tips on how current customers can help grow your business.
I'm only going to stick to the four key points throughout this book, and that can be summed up with one word:
Relevant Marketing
You can no longer just have an ad in the paper or a television commercial presenting a message that you think your current customers or potential customers want to see and hear. Your business needs to actually listen to customers, learn from them. Then it needs to market to them through their preferred communication channels, whether it is through the traditional media channels or through social media channels – Twitter, Blogs, FaceBook, etc…
Orchestrated Customer Experience
You cannot create a customer experience that will fulfill their needs and provide support unless you adopt the point of view from of the customer's prospective. The first step to providing a great customer experience is to listen to your customers, find their expectations, see what your competition is doing and most importantly, focus on you customer.
Customer-Focused Culture
A customer focused culture starts from the top down. A business cannot simply have customer-facing departments only, it must be customer focusedas well. The whole company must adopt the culture that customers are the most important priority. Commit to making it a company value to focus on customers.
Killer Customer Service
It all starts with the people in your customer service department. They have to have a passion to help people. A customer service department cannot just be procedures and policies. The managers of these departments need to empower these individuals to better assist customers. By empowering your representative you give them the ability to think outside the box and come up with practical solutions to real life problems of the customer without, of course, giving away the store.
These are the four simple key points that will have a big impact on helping your business grow. As I have pointed out in the past, it is important for technology customers to have access to information at their fingertips. Knowledge is key. Empowering employees to go above and beyond to provide the best customer experience can go a long way.

In the annals of science, the correlation between sitting on your ass for a living and having generally poor health is unlikely to be recalled as a great breakthrough. And yet a recent report saying essentially just that landed on the front page of The New York Times and sparked a conflagration of similar stories around the world, prompting newscasters to report, from their rollie chairs, that we might be sitting ourselves to death on the job.
The deal is this: Scientists at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, a Louisiana-based research facility that focuses on all things related to fat-assed-ness, linked America's obesity epidemic to a precipitous loss of "active" jobs—any vocations that require you to move more than your fingers and eyeballs. Their methodology was simple. The team, led by Timothy Church, M.D., assigned intensity values to various jobs and, using employment data beginning in 1960, watched as those labeled "moderate intensity" (farming, making stuff) plummeted while sedentary jobs (mine, yours) skyrocketed. They figured that the average American man now burns 140 fewer calories per workday than his farming and factory-working forebears, and then asked a mathematician to figure out how this would translate into weight gain. And whaddya know? The resulting estimate was nearly identical to the average weight Americans actually gained over the same period.
In effect, the work of Church and his crew—subsequently linked to a growing body of data about the hazards of sedentary life—helped expose a potentially huge scientific blind spot. For years we've assumed that as long as we meet the basic requirements for exercise (twenty minutes a day, three times a week), we'd be fine. But here's the problem: In the past two decades or so, the overall level of exercise among Americans hasn't really changed, while our waistlines have ballooned. Many scientists explained this collective inflation of our pleated trousers by looking at our diet—Big Macs and Big Gulps—but Church's group introduced a new and scary possibility: The doughy roll around your middle has as much or more to do with what we're doing, or not doing, at work.
We were warned that this could be a problem. The first study on workplace torpidity appeared back in 1953, when a Scottish scientist named Jerry Morris showed that bus conductors, who moved around a lot, had fewer heart attacks than the drivers, who sat all day. Drivers, he found, had noticeably higher rates of heart disease than conductors, despite coming from the same social class and otherwise leading the same kinds of lives. They were twice as likely to die of a heart attack.
When I traveled to meet Church and his colleagues at Pennington, a campus of low-slung tan buildings populated by hundreds of people in lab coats, epidemiologist Peter Katzmarzyk clarified Morris's work. The Scotsman was indeed ahead of his time; he just didn't fully understand his results. It wasn't merely the activity of the conductors that made them healthy but the inactivity of the drivers that made them unhealthy. In other words, much in the same way that running 10Ks won't save a smoker from lung cancer, going to the gym isn't going to save you from your desk job.
Donald Rumsfeld
Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.)
Mikhail Prokhorov, Nets Owner |
The root of the problem, Katzmarzyk told me, is that our body is based on a blueprint drawn up in a world before desk chairs: "If you think about our hunter-gatherer existence, the whole drive was to capture as much energy from the environment with as little effort as possible." If early man chased a chipmunk for two hours, the resulting calories wouldn't make up for those burned in the process. To compensate, he got smart. He built traps. Conserving energy, Katzmarzyk says, "is what our physiology is designed for. We're still very efficient. We're designed to store energy." Which, because we don't expend as much of it anymore, is one reason we're fat.
According to Katzmarzyk, our metabolism was optimized for our Stone Age ancestors, who had to stalk and kill (or at least forage) for lunch. We modern men need only dispatch an assistant to meet the Quiznos guy in the lobby—we have to work (much) less hard to find (much) more abundant food. Scientists use the term "energy efficiency ratio" to measure this calories-in, calories-out relationship, and it's been calculated that today's human acquires 50 percent more food per calorie burned.
For an accelerated example of what happens to us as we go from active to sedentary, scientists observed Inuits in northern Canada from 1970 to 1990 and saw remarkable deterioration in physical conditioning as they stopped hunting seals and started eating Cheetos. Closer to home, Ye Olde Amish have stubbornly stuck to tradition. The average Amish man takes upwards of 18,000 steps a day. Those of us chained to desks are lucky to top 5,000.

The Sports Network By Brandon Lawrence, FCS Assistant DATE & TIME: Saturday, December 21, 2:05 p.m. (ET). FACTS & STATS: Site: Roos Field (8,600) -- Cheney, Washington. Surface: Red Sprinturf. Television: ESPN U. Announcers: Mark Neely, Jay Walker. Home Record: Towson 4-2; Eastern Washington 7-0. Away Record: Towson 8-0; Eastern Washington 5-2. Series Record: First meeting. Conference: Towson - Colonial Athletic Association; Eastern Washington - Big Sky. Nicknames: Towson Tigers; Eastern Washington Eagles. Sports Network FCS Ranking: Towson (5); Eastern Washington (3). NCAA Playoff Seedings: Towson (7); Eastern Washington (3). Head Coaches: Towson - Rob Ambrose (fifth season, 31-28 at Towson; sixth season, 34-35 overall); Eastern Washington - Beau Baldwin (sixth season, 56-21 at Eastern Washington; seven seasons, 66-24 overall). Playoff Records: Towson (2-1); Eastern Washington (13-8). Previous FCS Playoff Appearances: Towson 1 (2011); Eastern Washington 9 (1985, 1992, 1997, 2004-05, 2007, 2009-10, 2012 - 2010 FCS Champions). Current Playoff Streak: Towson has won its last two playoff games; Eastern Washington has won eight of its last nine playoff appearances. Current Win Streak: Towson 4W; Eastern Washington 10W. Record vs. 2013 Playoff Teams: Towson (3-0); Eastern Washington (3-1). GAME NOTES: This Saturday's matchup with Eastern Washington will mark the third straight playoff game for Towson in which the Tigers have faced a team averaging more than 37 points per game. Unfortunately for the Tigers, that's the way the bracket came together and the scenarios played out. Fortunately for Towson, that hasn't stopped the Tigers from simply outplaying the opposition. Towson scored 48 points to bury Fordham in the FCS second round, then 49 to take down No. 2 seed Eastern Illinois and Walter Payton Award winner Jimmy Garoppolo. The Tigers, led by standout running back Terrance West, will have another potent offense and a star quarterback to contend with this weekend. Eastern Washington survived a tight first half with Jacksonville State last weekend to win, 35-24, and advance to host the semifinals for a second consecutive year. Led by sophomore quarterback Vernon Adams and highlighted by standout receivers Cooper Kupp (the Jerry Rice Award-winning freshman of the year), Ashton Clark and Shaquille Hill, along with running back Quincy Forte, this Eagles team is averaging 40.1 points per game. And that total will be needed to keep pace with West and the Tigers. In fact, West was nearly a one-man offense (OK, he had some great help from his offensive linemen) in the win over Eastern Illinois. West rushed for a playoff-record 354 yards and five touchdowns, while the Tigers gained 472 yards on the ground - good for the fourth-best single-game total by any FCS team this season. Towson scored seven times rushing against the Panthers. West's likely eventual successor, freshman Darius Victor, carried the ball 11 times for 80 yards and a touchdown Friday night. So it isn't just West for whom the Eagles to game plan. And for the Tigers to "limit" Garoppolo to 321 passing yards and two touchdowns (he also had two rushing scores) shows that this defense is up to the challenge of at least slowing down the star opposing signal caller. Against Jacksonville State, the Eagles' defense struggled early to shut down redshirt freshman quarterback Eli Jenkins. The Gamecocks' dual-threat passer already had over 100 passing yards and 100 rushing yards before he left the game just before halftime with a knee injury. But when it came time for the defense to step up, it was freshman linebacker Albert Havili who jumped in front of a Max Shortell slant pass, intercepting it and returning it 77 yards for the game-clinching score. Eastern Washington's offense is scary good, but Towson's is playing just as well. There's no doubt this game will come down to defense and which team can come up with clutch turnovers or key stops in crunch time. Eastern Washington's inability to slow Jacksonville State down in the first half last weekend will likely have West itching to get out on the Inferno and start running. Who knows what would've happened had Jenkins not suffered a knee injury last weekend, but the Eagles can't bank on injuries to get through to Frisco. Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Towson 42, Eastern Washington 37. 12/18 13:26:14 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

Returning to the alternative universe in which Obama has balls, we find the following:
Since a US default would be catastropic, and Prez has independent control only of the military, he announces the closure of all bases in Repugnant represented states and congressional districts, so that the necessary cash may be re-directed to default prevention pending raise of debt ceiling.
They used to say that Lyndon Johnson would invite recalcitrant legislators into the Oval Office to watch a map with lights representing such installations in their state or district. One by one, Lyndon would extinguish a light, until the promise of the desired vote was delivered.
Impeachment bait? Who gives a fuck--you only need one third of the Senate +1 to skate.
Cut to parody of the old RCA ad, where John Boehner cocks his head at Obama's knee.
I DO subcribe to this point of view. ;o) How are you feeling, Breakneck Kid?
Good-o, dear. Do also google 'Celadrin', both topical and oral (please forgive the inadverten pun.)
Be jolly, above all, at least in the in-between times. ;o) Laughter is what keeps me goin'; sometimes after the tears.
I dont subscribe to the point of view that soft tissues and nerves are as separable as you do, with all due respect.
Sounds like a good formula!

S.S. Coachella Cruise, Day One: Father John Misty, Yeasayer, !!!, Pulp
Photo by Ian Witlen |
Jarvis Cocker and Pulp aboard the S.S. Coachella. |
But we'd all been aboard the Celebrity Silhouette for about four hours at that point and Father John Misty was launching our oceanic musical journey in the Sky Lounge. A 180-degree view of the sea spread around us, and a group of maybe 100 music fans with stars in their eyes didn't even notice where we were as the shore lights faded away.

-Best and Worst of the S.S. Coachella
They couldn't have picked a better act to start out with. After watching former Fleet Foxes member Joshua Tillman, AKA Father John Misty, shake his hips, raising his mic stand to the sky (he was one of three dude singers swaying their hips sensually on Sunday night) and then Monday morning on the "lawn" playing with only his guitar, it's clear that he's the new man's cool guy. A world awash in talk of "hipsters" with Internet access has changed the way music nerds are able to express themselves apart from the masses who all love all the music all the time.
This cruise is populated with foreigners, people ready to rave, fashionistas, and all of the other types of people that you'd expect both on a cruise and/or backstage at a music festival. But, it seems many of the main acts are here to perform for a post-cool world. And that is what, in some ways, Father John Misty represents.
At his first show, he made the requisite "end of the world" and hipster joke, suggesting the Coachella cruisers would be the final people on the planet. (Oh, the horror!) He lamented that there wasn't a chance to break a bottle on the side of the boat (seriously, though, that's why we came), adding that he'd still drink the bottle and pass out in his own vomit. "When God closes a door, he opens a vomit side-window," he sagely announced.
Mentioning God seems to be something Father John Misty does frequently. On the ship's grassy knoll Monday afternoon, he sang tunes with lines about Joseph Campbell and the Rolling Stones. The music was familiar Americana folk. The themes were personal and universal enough. And it seemed this guy was speaking for the heart of the S. S. Coachella cruise.
Just when I thought there were only, like, 200 people on the whole ship, a long line snaking out from the Silhouette Theater waiting for Yeasayer proved otherwise. Inside, the show started late, and Aaliyah's "Rock the Boat" played ironically or comically or perfectly. Whichever you prefer.
A terrible recording of a woman saying, over and over, "Good Evening, S.S. Coachella," coaxed people to push toward the stage. Two guys in full-body, tie-dye onesies modeled for the cameras. A few glow-stick bracelets lit up the crowd, and one person wore a Santa hat. People with glow sticks really do enjoy the live musical experience more than everyone else.
Then the groovy stuff started and the glow sticks bounced. The first two songs sounded a little funny, and after the third, Chris Keating, the singer, said, "Hello, boat! Real talk. This is totally fucking weird." He was the first of two frontmen to complain of feeling queasy.

type the following question into both Search Engines:
MSN gives an answer.
Google gives links to irrelevant pages.
For the "Aunt Tilly-s" of the world, this is a BIG advantage for MSN.
Their SERPS are less than stellar, given, but natural language questioning is something AskJeeves tackled ages ago, maybe a bit ahead of the technology to do it properly, and it gave them a foothold in the Search Engine world they have yet to relinquish.
Things like natural language questions with actual responses.... That's the kind of thing MSN can do to set themselves apart... An potentially set themselves ahead.
Also, they're tying results from Encarta into the queries. Another thing that Google is missing out on.
Natural language queries with answers... Ability to query a well known Encyclopedia (and don't bother mentioning Wikipedia... The "Aunt Tilly-s" out there don't even know it exists.)
"Aunt Tilly" - That's MSN's target market. That's a market they know and have a proven ability to dominate.
Don't underestimate it.
*Exchange "Fredericton" with the city name of your choice.
When your two-hour free pass expires, you can return to MSN Search, run another search or click an Encarta link. Your two-hour free pass is instantly renewable whenever you click an Encarta link from MSN Search.
You say that but I had to resort to using MSN to find a very niche site (car club in the UK) that I knew existed.
I did struggle with Google for at least 5-10 mins but had to give up.
I went straight to MSN.co.uk and hey presto, they rank the site no1 where it deserves to be.
As much as I love Google if this becomes a more frequent event I can't see me returning there as often as I do currently.
Thank you Bill Gates :)
If they do start to steal some of Google's traffic and the results are stable I'm booking two holidays this year!
I have just done that this morning!
I want to use the search engine as much as possible over the next few weeks and see how often I have to return to G.
They seem to be able index & rank the sites more appropriately at this time.
I am in AU - and they are doing a good job on local.
another annoying thing is when i type "mysite" in. my website is position 8 (was 20 odd in full BETA) and sites which link to me are listed 1-7.
Surely this is a glitch or does it show less importance on the link content?
I believe the results are slightly different from msn for world.
Strong results coming through stats across all sectors for sights on both msn & ninemsn
Monitoring around 40 sites and all seeing good benefits from both ninemsn & msn.
That will indeed be interesting but in my area Google will walk it - and easily!
Bill drawed the big picture. But I am scared by his word "even files on your PC".
hmm.. nice one vitaplease.
So the big question for Mr. Gates, will people continue to use his service after they try it out this week.
When I search on MSN.com I get taken to [beta.search.msn.com...]
Is it being backed out due a problem or something. At least I'm not directed to msn.co.uk anymore.
Object Moved This document may be found here
The "here" is a link, except it isn't cos you don't go anywhere.
My msn traffic has dropped to close to zero since beta went live, even with top rankings in what I thought would be total traffic generators, oh well.... some users seem to agree with steveb's assessment.
Actually, I did start to get what I would expect early today, but they it just seems to have trailed off.
technically it goes
23.59:59 00.00:00 00.00:01
so midnight is at the beginning of a day, not at the end.....hence my pet peeve also by those publications, info leaflets, etc that insist the time 24:00 exists when it quite clearly doesn't and can't.
I have.
My site ranks well. I know my competitors and MSN ranks them pretty closely to the way I would have done it myself. Google seems to like the "auction", "shopping" and "comparison" sites. Their results in my niche are complete trash. It's refreshing to see something even close to reasonable results. I'm tired of the "Google Game".
When you compare results with Google i have to say, google is certainly on borrowed time now.
Google needs to update its results with fresh data or sink if you ask me. Search users want the most relevent latest results from all sites not just out of date ones which google is showing.
Pure, Pure Quality from MSN

One billionaire's recollection of the first presidential debate: In reference to The Bitch's observations on the presidential debate at the University of Miami ("Definitive Gaze," October 7), those of us who were fortunate enough to attend the event also were able to listen to a few other speakers that evening.
Most of us were bused to UM's Convocation Center a couple of hours before the debate. This allowed ample time for identity verification and security screening, which went quickly, owing to the abundance and efficiency of law-enforcement staff. Everyone was in the debate hall by approximately 7:30 p.m.
Once in the hall we were not permitted to leave. Unfortunately we were now at the mercy of the event organizers, who could not resist their fifteen minutes in the sun. We heard from four or five of them. Other than Jim Lehrer, who confined his discussion to explaining the debate rules, the others conveyed nothing that seemed to be of interest or importance to anyone in attendance.
However, the unannounced speaker I most recall is Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Clinton and now president of UM, who took the most time but conveyed the least information. She began by mentioning that the governor of Florida was there, without mentioning his name. She then went on to introduce by name three former mayors and many other friends, all of whom seemed to have little to do with the debate.
She also went on to proclaim that she was giving up her seat at this debate to a student. We were trapped. We had to listen, though I doubt anyone recalls what else she said.
The reason I do is because after the debate, as we were all queuing up to leave the hall, lo and behold, who was standing beside me but Ms. Shalala. I found this interesting because a couple of hours earlier she said she was giving up her seat to a student.
I couldn't resist. I bent over and whispered in her ear: "His name is Bush." She turned and said, "What?" I replied, "Our governor. His name is Bush." She obviously knew what I meant and testily replied, "Well, I did mention he was here. How could I not? He has an office on my campus!"
Anyone have any doubt who the students of this university are being encouraged to vote for on November 2?

Editor's note: Richard J. Egan was appointed by President George W. Bush as ambassador to Ireland, a position he held from September 2001 to January 2003.
We need more about the cronyism and nepotism: New Times is to be commended for finally telling the truth regarding the tenure of former Miami-Dade Police Department director Carlos Alvarez, now a candidate for county mayor, something other media entities in this county have so far failed to do.
Tristram Korten's article, "Dissent Within the Ranks" (September 30), is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg regarding a documented pattern of poor decision-making and political expediency that have turned a once excellent police department into a mediocre one, one in which cronyism and nepotism prevail.
Hopefully this article is just the first among others that will expose Mr. Alvarez for what he really is and what he truly stands for, something the residents of Miami-Dade County can ill afford.
Charles Miller
Fort Lauderdale
Don't trust a small group of dissidents: I differ strongly with Tristram Korten's "Dissent Within the Ranks." During Carlos Alvarez's tenure as director of the Miami-Dade Police Department, there was a significant reduction in crime, crooked county commissioners went to jail, and many corrupt county employees, contractors, and others who were stealing our hard-earned money were put in jail.
Korten's article states that more than 200 officers, some six percent of Miami-Dade police officers, are against Mr. Alvarez. I'm more inclined to trust the remaining 94 percent of officers in the department.
Please don't print my name. I don't want problems with any of those officers who oppose Mr. Alvarez.
Name Withheld by Request
He s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d the truth: I don't know Carlos Alvarez. Never even met him. But as a Miami firefighter, I would never vote for him because of what he once said. After the big anthrax scare and the emergency management of a bio-hazard incident, Alvarez proclaimed, "We're more than ready." Everyone in the business knew at that time that we were far from ready for any massive biological incident. How responsible is that?
Sorry, but I'm too close to retirement to have my name published.
Name Withheld by Request
And I have a message for those cowardly cops: It was with great amusement and dismay that I read Tristram Korten's article "Dissent within the Ranks." A few issues need to be addressed for the story to be more complete. As a labor leader who has proven not to be shy when it comes to oppressive and poor leadership wherever it shows its head, I can unequivocally assure your readers that Carlos Alvarez's style is not that of favoritism and retaliation. On the contrary, I have personally seen him avoid actions that may have given the appearance of favoritism. I have also seen him get emotional when forced to make the tough, unpleasant decisions that have a lasting effect on employees' careers, especially when it meant terminating their employment. He is firm but always fair.

How to pin the application tile to the start screen from code
This article shows how to pin the application to the start screen from code (dynamically).
Contents |
The application tile is the default tile created for an app when the user pins it to the start screen. While you can set it's default values, there is no way to manually create the "real" application tile in code.
While you can't create the application tile in code, you can create a secondary tile in code that looks and behaves exactly the same. The code to create a secondary tile is given in Working with Live Tiles on Windows Phone#Secondary Tile.
The special "trick" here is to check whether the application tile has already been defined before creating the "pseudo" application tile. Do this by testing whether the tile's navigation URI is the main page of the app (in this case MainPage.xaml). Then we create a secondary tile using the same field values and with navigation URI of the app start page.
private void PinToStart()
StandardTileData standardTileData = new StandardTileData();
standardTileData.BackgroundImage = null;
standardTileData.Title = "Pined From Application";
standardTileData.Count = 5;
standardTileData.BackTitle = "Back Title Data";
standardTileData.BackContent = "Back Content Data";
standardTileData.BackBackgroundImage = null;
// Check if the application tile has already been defined - this is a tile that links to the app main page
ShellTile tiletopin = ShellTile.ActiveTiles.FirstOrDefault(x => x.NavigationUri.ToString().Contains("MainPage.xaml"));
if (tiletopin == null)
//Create ShellTile linking to main page of app
ShellTile.Create(new Uri("/MainPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative), standardTileData);
MessageBox.Show("Application is already Pinned");
Test code
None provided.

Montana Elk Hunters Film Bigfoot
Here is a video from some hunters in Big Sky, Montana that seems to have captured video footage of what may be a Bigfoot. While out in Big Sky scouting and looking for Elk the hunters caught something walking along side of road in their headlights. The creature walking appears to have an auburn tint and is bipedal. Many believe that these guys may have captured footage of Bigfoot moving off a trail through the woods. But some have also questioned what the hunters were doing filming at night in middle of no where leading to thought that it may be yet another attempt at a hoax.
Here is the Montana Elk Hunters Bigfoot video so you can have a look and decide for yourself.
**Caution** There is some foul language used in the video.

The New York Irish
The New York Irish tells the sweeping story of these immigrants and their descendants. From the first Irish residents of Dutch New Amsterdam to the politically influential United Irish exiles a century later, from the gallant "Union Green" patriots in the Civil War to the dramatic rise and fall of Irish political dominance in the twentieth century, the history of the Irish in New York is almost as old as the city itself.
Intellectuals and artists, politicians, and poets, gangsters and priests - all have played a central role in the city's history. Americans generally recognize the Irish who taught New Yorkers how to play baseball (John McGraw) and how to sing (George M. Cohan). Famous Irishmen have served as the city's mayor (DeWitt Clinton) and archbishop (Francis Cardinal Spellman). We are familiar with Irish heroes in the struggles against American sexism (Margaret Higgins Sanger) and, in World War I, Prussian militarism ("Fighting Father" Duffy). We know the controversial poet Frank O'Hara and political commentator William F. Buckley.
Yet it was perhaps the lesser known Irish men and women who had the greatest impact on the city's history. Simply consider their strong backs and dextrous fingers; the cheap labor that more than 150,000 Irish immigrants supplied in the mid-nineteenth century fueled the city's skyrocketing economic growth. By 1860 one of every four New Yorkers was an Irish immigrant. Would the city have grown as fast or as big without them? What effect did their overwhelming numbers have on the city's labor movement, on race relations, on neighborhood development, or even on the unique blend of saloons, songs, prizefighting, and "New Yawk" dialect that helped create a distinctive, nationally recognized working-class culture?
The New York Irish provides a vivid example of how newcomers encountered America, successfully assimilated, and yet retained their ethnic and cultural identity. The authors examine Irish-American life in the city while addressing issues that affected immigrants throughout the United States. The story of the New York Irish, they conclude, is the story of American ethnic groups writ large: not just a political machine but Tammany Hall; not just a cathedral but St. Patrick's; not just a parade but a march up Fifth Avenue by tens of thousands on St. Patrick's Day.

Gears is such a frustrating game. It has so many good elements to it, but is so hampered by the difficulty of actually playing it that it becomes unworthy of actually playing. The player rolls a ball around the various levels, trying to collect icons along the way in under a given time limit (that can be removed by playing on Easy – something that makes the game far less frustrating). The goalas are twofold – there's just pure progression through all of the game's 27 levels, as well as medal collection, with better medals awarded for faster times and greater numbers of icons collected. The game comes with universal app support and Game Center integration for leaderboards and achievements.
Gears is absolutely beautiful. The graphics on the Retina Display and iPad are just top-notch, and there's even advanced graphical options for the iPad 2. That and the sound design create a wonderful atmosphere to the game, that is slightly enigmatic as to the story's nature. It may 'just' be a ball rolling game, but there's clearly a lot of work into making this look and feel like something special, as it is one of the most beautiful iOS games out there. The problem is when the game actually has to be played.
See, the problem is that the controls are horrid. The swipe controls that are enabled by default never feel natural. You often have to fight the controls to get going where you want, and when hills come up, I never felt like I was trying to roll a ball up a hill. There was a very real disconnect between the control system and the game and the controls, and that's what kept me basically quitting the game in frustration many times. There are tilt controls, but they are bad as well, and I suffered from the same kind of disconnection as I did with the swipe controls. Tilting is supposed to be a more intimate control scheme, one where I can feel actually in control of what I'm controlling, but I found myself going back to the swipe controls every time I tried to use the tilt controls. Compare this to games like Tilt to Live or the Dark Nebula games, where once proper calibration is achieved, the game feels very natural, and there's little question that my success is based off of me, and not just the control scheme. Is it easy to achieve this kind of synchronicity between player and device? No. But I feel like Crescent Moon Games has lots of talent to make a game that feels beautiful, surely they have the talent to make one that plays closely as well as it looks.
I don't like to fight my games – this isn't to say that I don't like challenge entirely, but that I like the challenge to come from the content of a game, not the interface. Gears has compelling content, but an interface that dissuades me from playing. I know that a game like this can be done well, I've played other example of ball rolling games that have great control schemes? Why can't this otherwise stunning game be one of those games?

The guidance attached to this bulletin continues to apply to federal savings associations.
On November 23, 1998, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision published the attached joint policy statement on intercompany tax allocation agreements. The policy statement provides guidance regarding the allocation and payment of income taxes by banks that file an income tax return as members of a consolidated group. In general, intercorporate tax settlements between a bank and its parent should result in no less favorable treatment to the bank than if it had filed its income tax return as a separate taxpayer.
In addition, the policy statement recommends that each depository institution have a written, comprehensive tax allocation agreement addressing intercorporate tax policies and procedures.

Roger Dean Stadium, Jupiter, Florida
JUPITER, Fla. -- After spending almost five years in the U.S. Navy, simply being on the mound at Roger Dean Stadium was exhilarating for Cardinals pitcher Mitch Harris -- even if the results were disappointing.
Harris gave up a pair of two-run homers and took the loss as a New York Mets split squad beat St. Louis 10-7 on Sunday.St. Louis played with a short-handed lineup. Third baseman David Freese was a late scratch after experiencing tightness in his back. Right fielder Carlos Beltran, battling a sore toe, went 1 for 5 in a minor league game.Jon Jay was 3 for 3 with two RBIs for the Cardinals.Jamie Hoffmann and Zach Lutz each hit a two-run homer off the 27-year-old Harris, selected by St. Louis out of the Naval Academy in the 13th round of the 2008 draft. He had been unable to play for the organization because of his military service obligation."It was one of those things where, if you had told me this (would happen) two or three years ago, I wouldn't have believed you," Harris said. "It's one of those learning experiences. You get humbled real quickly, but it's good. It's definitely going to jumpstart another whole level of work ethic to get where I want to be."With the Cardinals leading 6-5 in the seventh inning, "Anchors Away" began playing over the stadium sound system when Harris took the mound to throw his warmup pitches."I heard it while I was out there," said Harris, who served on ships in the Middle East and off the coast of South America, among other places, and now expects to start the season in extended spring training."That's not a bad intro at all. It kind of puts things in perspective for you when you are out there."Prior to the right-hander's first pitch, public address announcer John Frost introduced "Lieutenant Mitch Harris" to generous applause from the red-clad crowd."I got a big smile out of that," Harris said. "It means so much to me what this organization has kind of embraced. It's good to embrace that because that is something I am very proud of. I just wanted to have a little better first appearance, obviously."New York didn't treat Harris nearly as well. Hoffmann greeted him with a two-run homer that gave the Mets a 7-6 lead. After retiring Travis d'Arnaud on a grounder, Harris walked Mike Baxter before allowing his second two-run homer, this one to Lutz.Afterward, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny noted that he would have preferred to use Harris in a less stressful situation."I was real happy we got him in there," Matheny said. "He and we pictured it turning out differently -- better for him. We don't know how his career is going to unfold but I can't image having many more rewarding moments in your life than having a group of more than 6,000 people honor you and for him to be on the big league field."The Cardinals scored at least one run in each of the first four innings to mount a 6-0 lead on a windy South Florida afternoon.Mets pitcher Aaron Laffey struggled a bit in his first start of the spring, allowing four runs and five hits in three innings. The runs were the first allowed by the left-hander this spring.Laffey worked as both a starter and reliever for Toronto last season. After the game, he was reassigned to minor league camp."The first two innings I wasn't real comfortable, just kind of dropping on my back leg," Laffey said. "The last inning I thought I threw the ball really well."Game notes
Shelby Miller and Joe Kelly will take their competition for the No. 5 spot in St. Louis' rotation into Monday's game. Miller will start against Minnesota in Fort Myers, with Kelly set to follow out of the bullpen. ... Collin Cowgill had two hits for the Mets.

Hollywood star Tom Cruise, British actress Rosamund Pike and director Christopher McQuarrie have brought their new action movie Jack Reacher to Seoul.
Cruise arrived in the South Korean capital late on Wednesday evening, and the three gathered on Thursday morning at the newly built Conrad Hotel to hold a press conference for the film.
Based on the novel One Shot by British writer Lee Child, Jack Reacher sees Cruise star in the title role as a mysterious ex-military investigator who ends up assisting the defence lawyer (Pike) of a former army sniper who is accused of murdering five innocent people.
While investigating the key suspect, Reacher soon realizes that not everything is what it seems.
"It was so much fun making the film," said Cruise during the press conference. "And I think the wit of the movie, the humour, wit of the film, and the character and the charm of the character was a real challenge to play, and really fun to play – with great writing from Chris McQuarrie based on the Lee Child character."
For Pike, getting to work with Cruise was a dream come true and realising they had on screen chemistry was a big bonus.
"I never thought I would say that about myself and Tom Cruise," said Pike. "I think on screen, I think there is something which was very exciting to work with."

Tale of Kakamuchu
Client: Marjan Massoudian
The Pastilla team plunged headfirst into the whimsical arena of children's fiction, providing visual concept direction and illustrations for Marjan Massoudian's The Tale of Kakamuchu. Wanting to leave aspects of her story up to readers' imaginations, Marjan opted not to incorporate character drawings, asking us to illustrate her book solely through artwork of the scenery on Kakamuchu's home planet, Kaka-La. Inspired by kids' innate creativity and love of storytelling, we drew from children's literature, science fiction, and Japanese illustration to create a vibrant, fanciful environment designed to engage young readers.

Do you ever wonder why we have not yet had disclosure? Have you ever wondered why contact has always been in the past or scheduled for some far off date in the future? Have you ever investigated the private lives of those in the new age and ufology movements when off the podium? How they treat those closest to them, the character of who they rub elbows with?
Those who push transhumanism and population control give us a clear hint of their agendas. Have you ever investigated and taken a serious look at the past military and other intelligence connections of those you depend on for your information? Do you understand what planned opposition is and how it keeps a lid on the truth steering it off into the abyss? Do you know why the negative fear-based information has priority when it comes to air time? If you knew the answers to these questions you would realize why disclosure has not happened and you have not heard about ongoing contact with spiritually and technologically advanced off world civilizations.
Contact is happening now. It has been going on for thousands of years for those who rose to the occasion. Most of these contacts with spiritually and technologically advanced beings have been censored, marginalized, shoved far into the back row and if you knew who was doing this they have good reason. Reason this. How do you tell the public you are completely defenseless against these off worlders which are far superior in technology and come and go as they wish?

4.5 Very good quality cloclo2 | 08/11/2012 | See all cloclo2's reviews (12) I bought this dress for a friends wedding reception, having spent ages trying to find one on the high street. I only paid 10 GBP for it, however the quality of the dress does not reflect this price tag by any standards. The material is very good quality and it has a 'stretch patch' on the back which means it fits perfectly. I bought the dress in a size 16 as usually things do not fit my bust, however I think a 14 would have been sufficient as it is very roomy!Overall, very impressed.
4.5 Lovely dress holidayshopper | 31/08/2012 | See all holidayshopper's reviews (1) I'm really pleased with this dress - was 12.49 when I bought it and is a complete bargain! The fabric is really lovely and light and fits really nicely. I'm 5 foot 3 and it finishes just above my knees so is a really nice length too. The elasticated back makes it feel really secure too - the dress stays put once you've got it on!
4.5 Great Purchase!! Chubbachops | 01/08/2012 | See all Chubbachops's reviews (1) I bought this item as it was on offer at 12.99 and thought it was a fabulous deal. Haven't really purchased clothing online before but would again in the future. This dress is gorgeous and looks exactly like it does it the photos. Great length sitting just slightly above the knee and I am 5ft 4. Really flattering fit across the bust and the material is top quality. Would be perfect for an evening wedding or glamorous night out. If trying on in a store I would have been happy to pay full value for this item. You will not be disappointed.
4.5 A lovely dress the picture doesn't do it justice. Tinkermel35 | 21/07/2012 | See all Tinkermel35's reviews (1) I was unsure about this dress but decided to give it a go.So glad I did. It looks great on, perfect for summer evenings and seems to be true to size.This dress should be 44.99 so 19.99 is a bargain. All in all I am very pleased with it.

@Charred - I like the energy efficiency of the LED lights. This has practical applications. For example, not everyone puts up Christmas lights, and the reasons for some people may not only include the hassle of putting them up, but the costs of keeping them on during the holidays.
LED lights bring those costs way down. So I predict more people will start using this technology as news of its energy efficiency continues to spread.

Sandwich King
by Grant Dudley in Food Network Star, August 15, 2011We have a winner! Jeff Mauro is Food Network's Star. Congratulations, Jeff — you've earned every bit of your success.
Fans, thank you so much for watching this season and for your participation here at the Star Blog. Good, bad and indifferent — you have let us know exactly what you're thinking. The team at Food Network has enjoyed hearing from all of you.
Be sure to join Jeff for a live chat on Food Network's Facebook wall Wednesday at 1:15pm/12:15c. And, of course, watch the series premiere of Jeff's new show, Sandwich King, Sunday at 11:30am/10:30c.

A Letter to Lenny, from the Rebel
Dear Lenny, Out of all the seasons of Food Network Star, I can think of only one other winner who has a personality as big as yours. Congratulations a...Comments (
749 )-
i have been making sandwiches for my family for over 60 years I don't need a kid telling how. He is to loud and his arms and hands are moving all the time it is distracting. I would like to have had Susie teach me how to cook in a Mexican way there were 2 plus Jeff making sandwiches, enough.I also liked Vic even though he made chocolate asparagus .
I thought Jeff was the clear winner form the beginning. Chicago is a magnificent food town and he is showcasing it well in his first episodes. His personality is down to earth, very Chicago, he has a really charming and witty personality. The others on the show did not shine- Jeff was almost hard to contain as a clear winner! Congradulations Sandwich King! I've watched the show Loved it, the recipes are outstanding! Cant wait for the next one!
I still he cant say enough great things about jeff... The judges made the correct choice. I cant wait to watch what he is making this week...P.S he also has a beautiful family..Congrats to all of them.
Just watched Jeff's new show. He did all right, but he needs to STOP saying "right" all the time!
I just watched the 2nd episode of Sandwich King (caught the first one as well). I love Jeff!!! He is incredibly knowledgable and funny. The tip about keeping fried foods in a low oven on a wire rack - so useful. And Jeffometry - hysterical. I love him. If I can't watch I will DVR.
Sandwich King, a one trick pony. CLICK
Really like the new show. So glad Jeff won. We are at church on Sunday mornings, but we record it every week. For a busy mom with kids running off to dance, karate, Bible study, etc, full dinners aren't always possible. We probably have sandwiches with a side about two to three nights a week. Great ideas and fun presentation. I like it.
Just watched the show and I am so disappointed. Jeff didn't seem like he was having fun, and I didn't have fun watching it. I hated his "English" accent. Really boring. I found his talk about being a Sandwich Prince really beneath the show and insulting as an audience. I won't watch it again. I so wanted Susie to win. PB
I think there are alot of friends of sore loosers this season blogging. I LOVE this show and the recipies....Easy, simply and delicious...It IS the way America eats. I am from Chicago originally and this is how WE eat!!!! I have tried all of the past shows recipies and have loved them all. Quit complaining about your friends who didn't win. There is a reason they didn't!!!!!!!!
I'm really liking the show a lot. I like how Jeff gives props on a regular basis to the places he gets his products. Also Jeff seems to be getting more and more into a real good comfortable groove with the show. A good balance of great sandwiches, the right amount of humor, and overall looking more and more like a veteran instead of being new at this.
Yep, just goes to show! You got to give it a chance before you condem it. My whole work schedule is based on sandwiches. I work 8 straight and get lunch when I can. My patients well being is of utmost importance. My lunch? A sandwich, of course! Something I can grab on when I can. Best of luck to Jeff and his new show!

Further Resources
