Apple rumored to improve Genius Bar service with shorter wait times
Apple is said to be prepping major changes to the Genius Bar at its brick-and-mortar retail stores, in hopes of offering customers shorter wait times and quick overnight repairs.MacRumors on Wednesday said that it has received word that Apple plans to overhaul its Genius Bars in an effort to increase customer satisfaction. The details come a day after AppleInsider first reported that Apple is now drumming up excitement with its retail employees, promising something that will make a "big" impact.
Specifically, author Eric Slivka cited three new changes that will allegedly be implemented:
- Active queue management — Apple's goal is for walk-in customers headed to the Genius Bar to be served within 30 minutes. To meet this goal, the stores will reassign some employees from other areas of the store when needed.
- Overnight repairs — Retail stores will reportedly place a greater focus on overnight repairs, with the goal of a faster turnaround for customers who need their Apple products fixed. however, this will come at somewhat of an expense to "While You Wait" repairs.
- Multitasking — Genius Bar employees will be asked to serve multiple customers at once, rather than just focusing on one person. Employees will help another customer during downtime (such as during a computer reboot), and support staff will attempt to pair customers who have reservations for similar or identical issues.
"While Apple is pitching the changes as a significant enhancement to support services in its retail stores, others are not so sure," the report said. "One Apple retail store employee familiar with the changes noted that the company is trying to 'do more with less,' pulling in less-qualified Creatives and offering less personal attention through multitasking in order to deal with customer demand rather than hiring new staff.
"The employee also expressed concern about low stocks of parts available at retail stores and how without a change in how parts are allocated and delivered many repairs will not be able to be completed overnight as planned."

link to cable
yes gene is correct if you goto the fms page and view the manual or faq it has the directions. these cables are not too hard to make but they do require soldering and gathering some parts that radio shack doesnt carry so it takes time. by selling them already done basically im just saving people time. if you have any questions about the cable please email me email@example.com

Another Heavy Earnings Week on Tap, as Pfizer, UPS, 5 Others Set to Report
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- My coverage of this week's earnings parade begins with Masco (MAS), a maker of cabinets and faucets, reporting after the closing bell today. The company is one of the components of the housing sector index I profiled on Friday.
MDC Holdings (MDC), a homebuilder and another component of the housing index, reports before the opening bell Tuesday. Masco's shares are down 8.2% year to date, and MDC is down 11%. The housing index is down 3.8%.

Dow component and pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (PFE - Get Report) reports pre-market on Tuesday. Its stock is down 1.4% year to date, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 2.3%.
The biggest gainer year to date in today's "crunching the numbers" table is the auto-parts provider TRW Automotive (TRW) with a year-to-date gain of 42% UPS (UPS - Get Report) rounds out Tuesday's before the bell earning reports. It's up1.4% year to date, while the Dow Transportation Average up 14%. Let's take a look at the stock profiles. Two "crunching the numbers" tables follow. International Paper (IP) ($49.92) was volatile last week, trading as low as $47.06 on Tuesday and as high as $51.98 on Thursday.

The Sistema project is on hold for now, so I decided my next victim would be my new/used P226. It was an Agency trade in and it had many scratches and dings as well as holster wear. So, I cleaned it up with file and emory cloth, completely de-greased it and disassembled it into components. I'm using matte finish CeramaCoat from Wheeler Engineering for a finish. I just applied a light first coat and expect to do two more to get it well covered. Then it will bake for an hour at 350 degrees to harden. My camera is messed up right now, but I will post pics of the completed pistol. In the meantime, here's two before pictures. The pics don't do justice to how badly it's dinged up, but they do show the holster wear pretty well.

It's finished. I couldn't get pics of the process, but the parts were disassembled, de-greased and then coated. All parts were then baked for an hour at 350 degrees. It's lubed and reassembled. When it was done, I sprayed a coat of G96 on it and wiped it down. It has resumed nightstand duty. I hope to get to the range tomorrow or maybe Monday. I'm sure it will be okay since it seems to work just fine when I dry fired it. I changed out the Hogue grips for the new style factory 226 grips. I like the feel and they seem to fit me better. Anyway, here's a couple of bad photos of the finished pistol:
Here's two better photos showing more detail.
Nice Job CA! Looks as good as the factory finish on my 226! Enjoy TACK
Looks pretty darn good..
I'd like to give a refinish job a try. I just don't know what all I need to do it!
"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off!" - Dirty Harry
This is the stuff I used: Wheeler Engineering Cerama-Coat 4 oz Aerosol Black - MidwayUSA It's on sale right now as a matter of fact. One can is supposed to be enough to do two pistols, but I found it really only does one plus a bit. It's simple really. Just disassemble and de-grease the pistol. I use brake cleaner for this type of de-greasing. I used mechanics wire to hold the parts. I made hooks on the wire to hold the parts on the supports of a step ladder so I could spray all sides. Then those same hooks held the parts on the oven rack. Bake for an hour at 350* than let them cool and reassemble. However, I did have trouble getting my 1911 back together and it's a much less complicated pistol. So, if you aren't comfortable doing this stuff, you may want to have someone else do it for you.
Wow CA, that looks very nice! It looks so close to factory. I might have to take your advice and try it out on one of my mil-surp pieces and see how it comes out. Inspired
Thanks Agent H. It's really pretty simple. Putting it back together can be a hassle, but it's doable.
Looks great, nice work!

MPF COO Group brings together COOs plus those with an equivalent job titles in the leadership and management team at professional services firms.
It is our observation that the responsibilities and remit of those with the title Chief Operating Officer role can vary tremendously - firm to firm - but in common we all share the leadership challenge of delivering the business strategy.
Firms that have appointed a COO role typically have a lot of complexity particularly in the way the core dimensions of the business interconnect (Service / Product Line, Geography, Client Sector, and Support function). To be effective as a COO the role demands a number of key elements:
The objectives of the COO Group therefore include:
Sessions are free of charge for MPF and Group members. We create a high value knowledge exchange where participants can tap into rich case studies and practical experience to supplement raw data and insights. All discussion under 'Chatham House Rules'.
Our programme is brought together with two specific goals in mind:
By working together with peers, participants learn new ideas and approaches, some of which can be immediately implemented or used to prompt debate at your own firm.
As a membership organisation, events are member only. However, those interested in joining are welcome to attend one event as our guest in order to get a feel for the Group.
Given the challenges of allocating general topics to specialist areas of expertise, MPF now allows all members of the management team (CEO, Finance, HR, Marketing, etc) to come together on a bi-monthly basis at an MPF general event in London.
Who is looking after the COO when they are looking after everyone else?
Latham & Watkins, 99 Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3XF

4 new fleet ships on tribble

Shouldn't the Varanus get a hull buff or turn buff or at least the same shield mod as the closest CAREBEAR sci! I guess it's nice to get a fleet science, but why the copy paste -0.11?
And why is it that feds get 5 tact console fleet escorts and the KDF doesn't??? But we get ass dragging 4 engy console escorts.
B'rel's not an escort, it's a BoP, which means it doesn't HAVE the ass-drag issue that Raptors do.
A way to look at it, is that FedScorts are those high-end European performance sedans with the "kindness to the Earth" emissions features, four door seating and high price tags....and good handling.
Battlecruisers and Raptors (KDF ships) are Muscle Cars...(Slightly poorer handling, lots of power)
And BoPs are motorcycles.
(the performance, handling, and stripped down nature of BoPs makes them the in-game equivalent of a CAFE bike, compared to the Fedscort's BMW M-5, Raptor's 1969 Camaro and Tor'khat's 1970 Plymouth Superbird, can you dig it?)
I suspect that's going to be the key to making the Fleet B'rel more than a one-trick gimmick minelayer-treat it like you would a Motorbike-enhance the speed and handling beyond the ridiculous, then try to hang on (and stock up on skills that resist things like Tractor beams. multiple APO comes to mind as a good choice here, along with polarize hull)... it may be that more traditional Bird of Prey layouts may not be as effective as some experimental ideas-cranking up the performance and handling could be more useful, I suspect, than trying to give it the hull-tank ability of a Defiant or Bugship.
(after all, if he can't get guns to bear on you, he can't exploit your tissue-thin hull...)

In the late 80's I was introduced to Adobe Photoshop, although they didn't call it that (see History of Photoshop). It came with a large scanner and I still remember the little MAC computer that the University had sitting in the corner of the computer lab running the software that allowed for photo re-touching. Teaching myself the program at school then would later came in handy, as it helped me score my first web design job.

I'm trying to talk my pal Thomas Whitley into heading down to Florida to see the launch of STS 125 on Tuesday May 12, 2009. The shuttle program is rapidly coming to a close, but this one is especially important since we are performing the final servicing to the greatest science experiment of all time:
NASA – STS-125: The Final Visit: "It's a mission to once more push the boundaries of how deep in space and far back in time humanity can see. It's a flight to again upgrade what already may be the most significant satellite ever launched.
And, for the space shuttle, it's a final visit to a dear, old friend.
The STS-125 mission will return the space shuttle to the Hubble Space Telescope for one last visit before the shuttle fleet retires in 2010. Over 11 days and five spacewalks, the shuttle Atlantis' crew will make repairs and upgrades to the telescope, leaving it better than ever and ready for another five years – or more – of research. "

Information Gathering and Marketing
"Consumers have only partial knowledge before making a purchase decision, but can acquire more-detailed information. Marketing makes it easier or harder for these consumers to do so. When consumers are "ex ante" heterogeneous, the firm might choose an intermediate marketing strategy for two quite different reasons. First, as a nonprice means of discrimination-it can make information only partially available, in a way that induces some, but not all, consumers to acquire the information. Second, when the firm cannot commit to a given investment in ensuring quality, the marketing and pricing strategy can act as a commitment device." Copyright (c) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc..

A hybrid shelter that blends tarp and tent qualities into a simple, versatile, super light package.
More than a tarp yet not quite a true tent, the Rajd (pronounced "ride") is an excellent choice for those who favor a tarp's gossamer weight, but don't want to sacrifice the comfort of walls and a floor. Comfortably big enough for two, the Rajd is a veritable palace for the solo traveler – especially one used to the confines of many solo shelter solutions. And it weighs less than many tarps and bivy bags!
"Rajd" is named for the annual reindeer herd drive of the Sami people.
Rajd Details
- Supremely light, remarkably roomy, and versatile, the Rajd is an outstanding – and more protective – alternative to a tarp for super light trips in the spring, summer or fall.
- The Rajd weighs about the same as many tarps, yet offers the protection of walls and a sewn-in floor.
- Its Kerlon 1200, with its 12 kilo tear strength, is stronger than most so-called "heavy duty" tent and tarp fabrics, and so will stand up quite well to demanding conditions.
- It can be pitched with trekking poles, branches, regular tent poles (which are available optional), or guy lines for ultimate simplicity and flexibility.
- One entrance of the tent can always be situated out of the wind.
- The Rajd offers effective ventilation from the no-see-um mesh panels in the top third of both doors and from adjustable eaves.

Meryl Streep Was On "Watch What Happens Live" Last Night, And It Was Perfect
It was a momentous occasion for all as Meryl stepped into the clubhouse, but mostly it was a dream come true for Billy Eichner.
2. Oh and the bandage? She was injured while de-pitting an avocado.
4. One of the highlights of the show was when they played "Spill The Tea" and Meryl finally realized what a "ginger" was. Just watch:
6. And also when she said she would have to kill Dustin Hoffman:
8. But maybe the very best parts of the show were the ones that included Billy Eichner, the hilarious comedian who was the bartender for the night.
10. Even if you don't have any feelings towards Meryl, Billy's excitement is so contagious you can't help but feel excited too:

The Poundland stock will almost certainly have been sold at a loss to the manufacturer, (Agfa is rebranded Fujicolor 200). It was only available because, presumably, Agfa want out of colour print film and needed to dispose of the remainder to free up expensive storage space. When the supply of 36 exposure film runs out, as it seems to have already done, it's most unlikely we'll see any more. There are a few 24 exposure films left and when that's gone, I'd bet on that being it for cheap film. Poundland will be making a healthy profit but film isn't core business to them, they've simply seen a temporary opportunity.
Ilford would be crazy to get into colour film. If it's not profitable for a company like Fuji who have the infrastructure, expertise and manpower in place, it certainly isn't going to be viable for a profit driven company like Harman Ilford to build from scratch. It's more likely that colour negative stock will disappear completely if the current producers pull out. The best chance for its survival is if an operation like Lomography guarantee substantial orders to keep production rolling. An Impossible Project style operation on colour negative film is exceedingly unlikely because of the scale of investment required. All in all, it's not looking good for colour negative or positive film in the medium to long term.

Singapore Is Not a Safe Haven
PRESCOTT, AZ ( TheStreet) -- If the world is heading into some sort economic slowdown there will be plenty of commentaries about which countries are in better fundamental shape, and why they are worthy of investment dollars. One country that will no doubt come up in this context is Singapore.
Singapore has a lot going for it including a trade surplus, a budget surplus targeted at $1.3 billion Sing dollars, a 2.1 % unemployment rate and some fantastic GDP growth numbers in the last few years. It is one of the most fundamentally sound countries on the planet, and has been for many years.
iShares offers its longstanding MSCI Singapore Index Fund (EWS) and more recently rolled out the MSCI Singapore Small Cap Index Fund (EWSS). Both funds are heaviest in financial stocks, at 45% and 51% respectively, followed by 24% in industrials for EWS and 13% in that sector for EWSS.
Singaporean equities tend to have high dividend yields, which are somewhat reflected in EWS' trailing yield of 2.74%. The iShares Web site shows an SEC yield of 4.14% for EWSS, but the fund is too new to have paid any actual dividends yet. This compares to a dividend yield of 2.01% for the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY).The above contributes to a very compelling fundamental argument for Singapore. Unfortunately, despite a consistently favorable fundamental outlook, the country has never been a place in which to hide during an economic downturn or other form of financial crisis. In 2008, as the S&P 500 fell 38%, EWS dropped 46%. Singaporean banks were in nowhere near the trouble as domestic and European banks, but that did not matter. Despite being fundamentally more sound, Singapore dropped more than the U.S. Even in the current downturn, where concerns focus more on Europe and the U.S.' potential fiscal cliff in 2013, with the S&P 500 down 6%, EWS is down 10%. The small-cap EWSS is down 8.5%. A more dramatic example would be the Asian contagion from 1997, which was primarily a Thailand event; nonetheless, EWS fell 40% in the last six months of that year. If fears of a hard landing or some form of banking crisis in China play out then Singapore will get hit very hard. For anyone believing this is a dip to be bought, then the Singapore ETFs look attractive on sound fundamentals and what is an overreaction to the downside, again for anyone believing this is a dip. If this is the start of a meaningful decline then both funds are likely to lag for the duration of the event. One crucial component to portfolio construction is understanding the trading behaviors of stocks and funds used. EWS is a perfect example of the volatility of the fundamentals not matching up with the volatility of the stock prices. No one wants to find out they owned more volatility than they could actually handle after a large decline in the market, but this is exactly what someone is setting themselves up for if they do not take the time to study trading characteristics of their holdings.

Mattress Firm Announces National Sponsorship Of Imagination Foundation's 2013 Global Cardboard Challenge
Mattress Firm, Inc., the nation's largest specialty mattress retailer today announced their partnership with Imagination Foundation as the Challenge America sponsor of The 2013 Global Cardboard Challenge. The Cardboard Challenge is a worldwide celebration of creativity during the month of September, where children are challenged to design and create using cardboard and recycled materials. The Challenge culminates around the world on October 5, 2013, on the global Day of Play.
Inspired by the short film, "Caine's Arcade," the Cardboard Challenge is an international celebration of child creativity and the role communities can play in fostering it. The first Global Cardboard Challenge took place in October 2012, with over 270 events organized by volunteers in 41 countries on six continents – from school districts in Texas to an Eco-Art Park in Uganda, to a community Warehouse Project in Sri Lanka. The 2013 Global Cardboard Challenge is expected to engage 1 million children from 70 countries.
As the Challenge America sponsor, Mattress Firm will play a significant role in helping the Imagination Foundation reach this goal. Additionally, Mattress Firm will be donating cardboard and collecting markers, crayons, scissors, tape, glue and other craft supplies at more than 1,100 locations across the country. The company will then be delivering the supplies to schools, community groups and other local organizations that want to participate.
"We showed the Caine's Arcade film at our national sales conference last year and were overwhelmed with the response from our employees," said Steve Stagner, president and CEO of Mattress Firm. "We see our sponsorship of the Cardboard Challenge as another way we can further inspire and connect with the communities where we do business. We also see it as an opportunity to discuss the important role that sleep plays in supporting health and fostering creativity in children."
"We are honored that Mattress Firm has embraced the Caine's Arcade story," said Nirvan Mullick, Founder of the Imagination Foundation and the filmmaker of "Caine's Arcade." "By becoming the Challenge America sponsor of the Cardboard Challenge, Mattress Firm has stepped up in a big way to help make creativity a core social value in communities all over America."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Finally, a TV show that remembers what high school was really like. The geeks are comfortable with who they are, which is really the cardinal sin for a high-school student. The freaks are searching for any kind of identity at all, even if they have to cause trouble to get it. None of the characters is drawn from the stereotypes you've seen in other teen comedies. The result is a heartfelt show that deftly avoids sentimentality and generates more than its fair share of laughs. (1999, Not Rated)

About this location
Southern Mexico region
Oaxca is one of the most beuatiful and unspoilt areas of Mexico. the Capital city of Oaxca is a Mexican gem renownned for its famous church and more recently for its artists and gatronomic food.
Loctaed a few miles outside of Oaxaca city is the fanatstic archealogical site of Mount Alban which was recently voted the number one site to see before you die.
Puerto Escondido
Puerto Esondido which means hidden port was once renowned for its coffee making, now it it better known for its beaches although you can still find excellent coffee there.
In recent years Zicatela has become famous for its surf, the Mexican pipeline is certainly in the top five of world famous surfing destinations. If snorkling is more your style then check out Carizillio or Manzanillo beaches or simply soak up the sun. There are five different main beaches to choose from.
If fishing is more your style one of the local boats will take you out , for sail fish, tuna and marlin or you might simply decide to dolphin and whale watch.
If you prefer a different type of water the lagoon will satisfy your need to check out the local wild birds or the odd alligator.
Or if your prefer take a guide to watch the turtles hatch or visit the local iguana sanctuary.

The holidays are just around the corner which means it is the perfect time to tell you about the Extension educational program titled, "Loving Long-Distance: Families Separated by Distance." Our world has certainly changed since I was a youngster. Growing up on a farm in Washington County, all of my grandparents were within 10 miles of our home so we spent lots of time together on weekends and holidays. Nowadays, families may be separated because of military obligations, job responsibilities, or broken family relationships. Whatever the reason is for separation, there are lots of ways to make the holidays and ...
Each fall, the Barton County Extension Council holds an election to fill positions on our various program development committees. Mark Monday, Oct. 29th on your calendar and stop by the Barton County Extension Office at 1800 12th Street to cast your ballot. Election time is 7:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. Any Barton County resident who is at least 18 years of age may vote in this election.
Narrowing down a highlight or two from our (my husband John, and me) recent trip east is difficult. The first leg of the trip was to participate in my national association meeting in Columbus, Ohio. I would say the highlight of those four days was the opportunity to share my educational fact sheet and leaders guide with forty-four agents from sixteen different states. The response was positive; they were especially glad to receive the entire program on a CD. Other sessions and speakers I listened to during the week provided resources and new ideas to try here in Barton County ...
One of the best parts about working at Cheyenne Bottoms is talking with visitors that stop here. One thing staff at the Kansas Wetlands Education Center have noticed is that almost everyone has a story about Cheyenne Bottoms. If you follow the news items posted in the Great Bend Tribune, you know that most stories about Cheyenne Bottoms logically include information about birds, bird-watching, hunting, and wildlife; that is what Cheyenne Bottoms is famous for. However, some of the most interesting stories and memories we get to hear from visitors to the Kansas Wetlands Education Center concerning Cheyenne Bottoms have ...
Happy 76th birthday FCE! A visit to the web site of National Association for Family and Community Education shows such a positive organization; one that cares about families and communities. The organization has gone through several name changes in its long history; some of you remember the Home Demonstration Units and Extension Homemaker Units of the past. Through all of this the mission to strengthen individuals, families and communities through continuing education, developing leadership and community action has remained the same.
In the universe of partnerships, you find outliers in all fields. Bill Gates and Paul Allen changed the world of technology, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis entertainment, and Harry and Marv reminded us of the brilliance of stupidity. But none could rival the collaborative genius of what began two years ago in Lawrence with Big Red and Tommy Keenan.
Last weekend I attended my thirty-fifth high school reunion. Joining me was my high school classmate and one of my friends, John Holt. Just as we did for our 30th, the itinerary included a visit with a mentor who remains a spiritual influence in our lives – Sister Mary Rose Engle, our Principal at St. Patrick's in 1965 and a Dominican sister for 75 years. Her residence at the Dominican Convent is across the street from the home where I grew up.
Today is the last day of the Kansas State Fair! If you haven't had a chance to travel to this showcase of Kansas talent, put it on your bucket list for next year.

Food spoils faster in the summer. Why? Bacteria grow fastest in the heat and humidity. Also, more people cook outside at picnics, barbecues and on camping trips, where refrigeration and washing facilities can be hard to find.

It is fairly common that my educational programs and workshops emphasize a common theme of health and wellness. The annual Walk Kansas program is just around the corner, so it is time to start rounding up your team members for that successful program. Packets are ready for team captains to pick up at our office and the Great Bend Recreation Commission. I also plan to deliver some packets to the recreation commissions in Hoisington and Ellinwood.
