I have been working at TheLadders
Great benefits--stocked, free kitchen, "unlimited" vacation, 401k matching.
The company regularly celebrates its achievements with paid parties and entertainment.
Work with really smart, talented software engineers. TheLadders "only hires A+ candidates."
Software engineers have the ability to work collaboratively with product to suggest new ideas for features. You're more than a code monkey, and your opinions really matter and are taken seriously.
Regular meetings with your manager to discuss concerns, goals, and achievements.
There are lots of safety nets for quality. Code reviews, functional tests, and unit tests are all mandatory.
Adoption of agile software development methodology really shines.
Some teams get more "fun" work to do than others, although teams do shuffle occasionally.
There seems to be a bit of a high turnover rate, but everyone that leaves does so for excellent opportunities elsewhere and not usually because they're unhappy at TheLadders.
The management team is doing a great job. Mark's enthusiasm and passion has a ripple effect that is palpable throughout the organization.

I worked at TheLadders
ProsGrasping at straws here, but....
I made some great friends, and they paid my bills for two and a half years.ConsHave you ever heard of nepotism? Management at TheLadders is more often than not hopelessly and utterly incompetent because of it.
Communication? Nonexistent. Don't expect to know about any changes until they affect you personally.
Poor decision making? Rather than approaching a financial crisis (back in 2009) rationally, it was instead decided that they would fire a third of the work staff in one fell swoop. Those being laid off were herded in a room, much like lambs to the slaughter, and given the news en masse.Advice to ManagementAdviceTreat your employees better (or at least with a modicum of respect). Communicate with them, acknowledge/congratulate them when they're doing a great job, and actually listen to their constructive criticism and suggestions.

ProsUnlimited vacation (not that you'll get to use it)
Social atmosphere
Good developer peers that are very smartConsAs a developer I find a strong lack of leadership both from engineering and product. This negatively impacts our team as our focus on projects changes randomly based on the exes whims. It feels like they have not yet grasped how to turn our business around and thus keep darting in different directions. I've heard multiply key people are leaving soon, although this is not confirmed.
Advice to ManagementAdviceThe long timers are worn out by tepid growth, lack of vision, poor execution and leadership that appears not to care anymore. It feels like no one is listening anymore. Who is our leader?

The basics of automotive performance parts.
Performance Parts 101 In the automotive industry, the term "performance parts" is used for a variety of car and truck parts or accessories which are designed to enhance a vehicle's performance. The term is generally tied to the aftermarket industry which makes sense considering that car or truck enhancement parts or accessories are typically purchased after the original purchase. This is not to say that O.E.M. manufacturers won't create performance parts, because they often do. Products such as Borla Exhausts, K&N Air Intake filters, ReadyLift Suspension Kits, or Bilstein shocks are considered performance parts because they are created to enhance car or truck performance. On the other hand, the O.E.M. exhaust, intake filter, suspension kit, or shocks that come with the newly purchased vehicles are generally stock parts designed to meet standards at a reasonable price. Someone looking to boost their car or truck's performance will then purchase an aftermarket part designed to boost performance. Strictly being aftermarket however, does not categorize a car or truck part or accessory as a performance part. Aftermarket products may include seat covers, car covers, bumpers, sun visors, make-specific paraphernalia (such as TRD's line of Toyota accessories), and steering wheel covers. These products are based on aesthetics, comfort, or brand loyalty, not performance. This would make them a car or truck accessory, but not a performance part. Performance Parts may also play slightly different but overlapping roles from one car or truck to another. For example, K&N's quality oil and air filtration products are available for virtually every modern vehicle under the sun. However, while lift kits tend to be popular among Ford, Chevy, Dodge and Toyota truck owners, you are unlikely to see a demand from Mercedes-Benz or Porsche owners. This isn't to say that popular Porsche and Mercedes parts (aftermarket at least) are always different from the more popular truck performance parts. Manufacturers are starting to notice and react to new consumer demands. For example Borla. Known for its quality SUV and Truck exhausts made the cross over and began to offer exhaust systems for Porsche and Corvette a few years ago.

text: Euclidean, Sir, as I previously stated,the notary is simply attesting to the fact that the signature that is on the document(any document) is really you. They check your ID ,you sign,they compare signatures/names,they sign and stamp. It's that simple. It is actually no buisness of the notary what document that you and they have just signed. If I had something notarized and the notary started making comments about the subject matter of the document I would be offended and have a few words with them. Sir,I feel that if two notary's told you that they had to read the document (know the content)before them before they signed/stamped it, they were WRONG.If I am wrong in this matter I will surley stand corrected.

As someone living in recovery, I know that music can be an outlet for people's feelings. In 2003, I founded Right Turn, an organization that helps artists enhance their creativity by learning to live free of alcohol and drugs. My own recovery helped me to become a drug addiction clinician. I believe that a treatment approach that incorporates creative expression and brings people together into a safe haven to preserve their creative gifts can be successful.
I am committed to spreading the value of addiction recovery through this program and want to help others the same way I was helped. Right Turn is how and where the healing begins.

Calgary Stampede
The Calgary Stampede, which calls itself the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, celebrated its centennial in July 2012 in grand style. The 10-day rodeo and festival, which broke attendance records, featured a parade, country music stars, equestrian performances, and fireworks, among other highlights.
Calgary was a boomtown in 1912 when Guy Weadick, who worked as a trick roper in frontier exhibitions in North America and Europe, proposed adding a large rodeo, a major gathering of cowboys and American Indians in a celebration of the Old West, to the city's industrial exhibition, which had been held regularly since 1886. Weadick won the financial backing of four wealthy cattle ranchers, who became known as the Big Four, and in September 1912 he produced the first Calgary Stampede, called then the Frontier Days and Cowboy Championship Contest. The event was not repeated until 1919, when, to mark the end of World War I, Weadick produced the Victory Stampede. It became an annual event in 1923.
Seventy-five years ago much of the world, especially the U.S. and Europe, was feeling the effects of the Great Depression, and the storm clouds that would lead to World War II were gathering. Civil war raged in Spain, and war broke out in Asia when Japan occupied much of eastern China. In Britain the official coronation of King George VI took place, and the previous king, now Prince Edward, duke of Windsor, married American socialite Wallis Warfield. In addition, the German dirigible Hindenburg burned up and crashed in New Jersey, American aviator Amelia Earhart and her plane disappeared over the Pacific Ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge opened in San Francisco.
The Hindenburg
In May 2012 nearly 200 historians and airship enthusiasts as well as witnesses of the original event gathered in Lakehurst, N.J., to observe the 75th anniversary of the Hindenburg airship disaster, in which during what was expected to be a routine landing, the giant airship burst into flames and crashed on May 6.
The building and operating of airships began in the late 19th century and began becoming commercially viable early in the 20th century. The first Zeppelin airship, the LZ-1, designed by Ferdinand, Count von Zeppelin, made its maiden flight near Friedrichshafen, Ger., in 1900, and a British dirigible made a round-trip transatlantic crossing in 1919. The most successful of the zeppelins, the LZ-127, or Graf Zeppelin, made the first commercial transatlantic passenger flight, from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst, in 1928, and it made a popular round-the-world trip the following year. A fleet of passenger ships was envisioned, and construction on the LZ-129, or Hindenburg, began in 1931; it was completed in 1936 and began transatlantic passenger service the same year. Passage on the Hindenburg cost more than twice as much as first-class passage on an ocean liner. Passengers enjoyed a large dining room and a lounge, decorated in a modern style, as well as promenades with large windows that could be opened. Small cabins occupied the interior of the passenger flight deck. Germany's Nazi government used the Hindenburg for propaganda flights, including appearances at the Olympic Games of 1936 and at the 1936 Nürnberg Rally. It made 10 trips to and from the U.S. that year carrying passengers, cargo, and mail and made a number of trips to and from Brazil as well. The Hindenburg departed Germany for its first scheduled North American trip of the year on May 3, 1937. It was carrying 36 passengers, of whom 13 died; 22 crew members and a member of the ground handling crew also perished.
The Golden Gate Bridge
The 75th anniversary of the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was celebrated on May 27, 2012, with a festival featuring music and dancing. There were also a parade of historic watercraft, a procession of antique (dating from 1937) and modern cars and motorcycles, and a fireworks show.
The Golden Gate Bridge was designed by engineer Joseph P. Strauss, with architectural treatment by Irving Morrow. Though Strauss began making plans for a structure to bridge the Golden Gate Strait, which connects the Pacific Ocean with San Francisco Bay, in 1921, construction on the bridge did not get under way until 1933. Among those opposed to the strait's being bridged were ferry operators, the Sierra Club, and photographer Ansel Adams, who thought that the bridge would ruin the view. Morrow chose the Art Deco design and the orange colour, which he selected to harmonize with the natural colours of its setting. The bridge was completed ahead of schedule and under budget and until 1964 boasted the longest main span (1,280 m [4,200 ft]) ever built. It opened to pedestrian traffic on May 27, 1937, and to vehicles the following day. The occasion was marked with the ringing of church bells and the sounding of sirens, fog horns, and ship whistles.

Hey ya'll
I have a question. If you wear a tuckable IWB holster is the "tuck" part simply an option, or is it neccessary for the stablity of the holster?
With the colder weather coming the prospect of wearing a coat over your regular shirt that you otherwise wouldn't wear when warmer would mean that the tuck isn't nccessarily needed for concealment.
Tucking in your shirt at that point would just mean another layer to go thru if gun is needed.

Banham Named to Big Ten Honor Roll
Dec. 2, 2013 University of Minnesota junior guard Rachel Banham was named to the Big Ten Player of the Week Honor Roll, the league office announced Monday. Banham averaged 25.5 points per game and was named the MVP of the Waikiki Beach Marriott Rainbow Wahine Showdown in helping the Gophers to a 3-1 record on the week. Banham scored at least 17 points in each of Minnesota's contests against Loyola, Chattanooga, Colorado State and Hawaii, which included a season-high 36-point performance against the Mocs in the opening game of the Hawaii tournament. She added 25 points against the Rams and 24 points at Hawaii, extending her double-digit scoring streak to 25 games. The junior notched a .593 (35-59) shooting percentage and a .607 (17-28) three-point field goal percentage in the quartet of contests, while adding a 2.5 assist-turnover ratio. Banham had 10 assists and just four turnovers during the stretch of games. The junior from Lakeville, Minn., also moved into the top-10 on Minnesota's career scoring chart with 1,438 points.

Host Paul Van Dyck speaks with Chris Danielson, Public Affairs Director at the National Federation of the Blind, about a law student who was barred from taking the bar exam.

Investment in its new coal plant in Oak Creek and heavy air conditioning use during summer heat waves powered better-than-expected earnings for Wisconsin Energy Corp. in the third quarter.
The Milwaukee utility said net income rose to $129.8 million, or 55 cents a share, from $112.2 million, or 47 cents, last year. The earnings were 6 cents higher than the forecast of analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters.
Wisconsin Energy is the parent company of the state's largest utility, We Energies.
As a result of the company's performance, utility executives said on a conference call they will recommend a 13% to 15% hike in the company's stock dividend in 2012.
After the announcement, Wisconsin Energy's shares closed up 92 cents, or 2.8%, at $33.40, an all-time high.
The second of two new coal plants in Oak Creek opened in January. That helped produce earnings growth in the quarter of $21 million, or 3 cents a share, the company said. Together with the first plant, the expansion at Oak Creek was the biggest construction project in state history, costing nearly $2.4 billion.
Construction of the coal plants helped drive rate increases for We Energies customers in recent years. The utility recently won approval from state regulators to delay a rate increase that would have hit customers' electric bills in January 2012.
Sales in the quarter rose to $1.05 billion from $973 million in the third quarter of 2010.
Electricity sales to residential customers fell 2.3% from the prior year, while sales to business customers rose, particularly for small commercial and industrial firms.
"Summer temperatures in the Midwest were warmer than normal this year. But the summer of 2010 was one of the hottest on record," Klappa said. "As a result, residential demand for air conditioning was slightly lower than we recorded in the third quarter last year."
On the dividend, Klappa said during an investor conference call the utility will seek to make its dividend more competitive with other utility stocks after it cut the dividend in 2000 to help finance construction of new power plants.
The company had targeted dividend growth of 8% to 9% a year over the next several years, but the company's board will consider an increase of 13% to 15% for 2012, Klappa said.
Shareholders could then expect average increases in the dividend of 8% in the following three years as the company strives to bring its dividend payout in line with peers in the utility industry, he said.
Excluding five major plant closings in recent years, the manufacturing economy has rebounded to pre-recession levels, Klappa said in an interview.
"We're cautiously optimistic that the recovery will continue," he said.
Overall sales through the first nine months of the year are down 4% from the pre-recession period, the first nine months of 2008, Klappa said. But excluding the closing of automotive plants and paper mills, the economy is now back to levels prior to the recession, he said.
The five plants that closed include the Chrysler engine plant in Kenosha, the Delphi auto parts plant in Oak Creek, NewPage paper mills in Niagara and Kimberly, and a copper foundry in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
"Growth and recovery in other sectors of the economy have largely offset those large plant closings, and the strength is coming from iron ore mining, specialty steel and metal fabrication, paper and printing, and industrial machinery production," he said.
Elsewhere, Klappa said the utility is seeing declining electricity sales to residential customers, who have taken steps to boost energy conservation to keep costs down. Those declines have been offset by better-than-expected sales to small commercial and industrial customers, he said.
Business expansion in the Milwaukee 7 region is a bright spot, he said, citing recent announcements by Bostik Inc. in Wauwatosa and Inesa LLC in Milwaukee's Menomonee Valley.
"We've had a number of expansion and relocation announcements in the last few weeks, and I know from personal involvement there are more to come," said Klappa, who is co-chairman of the M-7 economic development group.

SanDisk jams 8GB into the itty-bitty Sansa Clip
SanDisk updates its Sansa Clip lineup with an 8GB version in black.
I remember when an MP3 player with 128MB of internal storage easily cost $100 and was the size of a fist. Sometimes, new product announcements make me feel old. Such is the case with today's release of an 8GB SanDisk Sansa Clip for $99. That's 64 times the memory you could find just four years ago for the same amount of money, and the Clip is a fantastic little player. You gotta love progress...and a fairly steady decline in flash memory prices.
Along with that 8GB of space (roughly 2,000 songs' worth), the Clip packs an impressive array of features, not the least of which is its compact form factor--it's roughly the size of a book of matches--and removable belt clip. You also get podcast and audiobook support with automatic bookmarking, a built-in FM tuner, and great sound quality, not to mention Rhapsody DNA integration and playback of MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, and Audible files. All that for less than $100 retail--a sweet deal if I ever saw one.

vote for trees
which of these trees should be removed? its on north side of my yard. i get no shade from them. all i do is wait for them to drop leaves in fall and rake for days. i would prefer to remove ALL of them.
I'd much rather look at some nice trees than whatever is behind that fence. Trees also reduce noise and light pollution, dust, provide roosting and protection for birds, sequester CO2, cool the surrounding air by evapotranspiration, and increase the value of your property.
So, I "vote FOR trees"! :-)
If it were me and I felt about them the way you do...I'd rip them out and plant fruit trees, which you will keep small. IF you keep them 7' or under you wont need a ladder to harvest. High density planting and successive ripening can be reallllly awesome.
You could espalier them against the back fence, or plant 4 in a hole, or even grow them in a hedge shape.
And in zone 7 you have a lot of options. Cherries apples and pears are especially good for espalier. (Google espalier to see photos of all the cool shapes.)
Why spend all that effort and money to shade someone else's property with tall trees. Grow them high to the west and low to the east.
That's just my opinion. I know it's pretty hard emotionally to rip out a healthy tree:)
Here is a link that might be useful: Backyard Orchard Culture
Here is a tool for finding fruit trees to fit your zone.
You are lucky because you can grow all the best cherries peaches and nectarines.
Bing, Royal Ranier, Van, Utah...Cherries
Spice Zee, Double Delight, the Arctic Series (esp. Arctic JAY)...Nectarines.
And check out the pluots called Dapple Dandy and Flavor King. I think they are the best tasting two. (I like the pluerry interspecific too.)
And all the good apples - I love a pink lady, red fuji. Spitzenberg apple is supposed to be awesome.

I trimmed trees when we moved in. Neighbor put up 6' fence soon after. He has pool though. House had no neighbor for 10 yrs on north side. So trees actually served a purpose as property line. Backyard is 120'x120 and has always looked bare. I have envisioned an orchard for many yrs.
the two just right of center.. look to be leaning into the fence... those would go in my world...
then i would get an ID on the others... and get rid of any weed trees ...
and in the mean time.. i would plant an arc of more friendly .. QUALITY trees starting with the red one on the left ...
my z5 MI is not fruit friendly on a consistent basis ... e.g. after this winter.. no flowers on a dozen trees this spring .. and crikey.. if you dont like raking leaves.. who needs fermenting rotting fruit ... lol .. but this would depend on your micro climate ...
if you dont want them.. dont get wrapped up.. in the opinions of these tree hugging commies ... lol .. it is your yard.. its your trees ... and who cares what other think.. makes me wonder why you asked at all ...
i will yell ... IF YOU WANT TO DO IT.. DO IT ... do not look to the opinions of others ...
if you garden otherwise.. have it done in fall .. after leaf drop .. and keep the wood chips and the firewood ... in the alternative.. get rid of those bat-turds.. before you have to rake up the mess ...
playing devils advocate...
Oh wow...I just looked at your photo again. There is a small incline. Looks like you probably have great drainage there. Great for cherries and other pit fruits!
If you really want to do it..then you should.
Ken is right, don't let anyone (like us!) guilt you into keeping (or not keeping) something when it interferes with whatever vision you have.
I would keep the one in the middle. The others are up to you. Remember fruit trees require spraying, and pruning for best fruiting. Bugs will get them or birds, unless you spray chemicals. This may be no problem for some, but to others more pain than it's worth to grow your own fruit.
What about mountain ash for winter interest(berries, birds), flowering crabapple for spring interest(blossoms, ornamental fruit, birds), cutleaf weeping birch for grace(little,small leaves!), ornamental cherry like Amur or Mary Liss(fruit for jam or birds, fall colour). These would certainly be more interesting to look at and high enough for some screening. Pictured: a cutleaf weeping birch, a flowering crabapple and a mountain ash - I rake very few leaves - as a matter of fact I leave them where they fall till spring and spend about 15 minutes in clean up time.
If raking leaves is really your only beef, one of these is cheaper than removing trees:
Here is a link that might be useful: Cyclone Rake
I guess if you didn't want our opinion, you wouldn't have asked for it. I'd much rather look at that wall of healthy green than someone's roof top. The tree isn't 'leaning into' the fence. The fence was placed after the fact, the tree was there first. If they didn't want a tree hugging it, then they should've thought about that before they constructed it so closely. When those trees get more mature, it'll be the fence leaning. LOL
Even better put a 6' swath straight across of mulch in there and plant 1 gallon Hydrangea paniculata hedge in there and bam no more fence just a really nice, simple bed of trees and shrubs.
Won't have to worry about all that crap around your trees as I can see your rider can't get in between there.
If you want to remove them all, do it.
But, I will tell you, you will have tree loss shock for a little while.
You will have very little privacy at all from your neighbors, but I can understand you wanting to get rid of them.
Your lawn will look nicer too, if that matters to you.
Wouldn't want to get your tree removal bill though.
neighbor to left of me planted crimson maple in my yard. about 3' over my property line. since it provides no shade for me, i can live with it or without. i did like the price though. how about that celery stalk tree to the left of the ugly willow?
This post was edited by joe_mn on Thu, Aug 14, 14 at 15:15
Not knowing what they are, I pick the two highlighted ones. Do it in the fall in the event the equipment needed is going to damage tree roots of the keepers.
How about posting some close ups of the individuals in question and lets get the whole row identified. If any are Fraxinus family ash trees I say get rid of them first since you don't have much of an emotional attachment to them and a bug is coming to kill em all for example.
Yeah, I agree, at the VERY minimum, get rid of the two with pink arrows because they interfere with the form of the pretty tree, I'd take out a few more to the left too initially. Then try to I.D. the rest and label them in the photo. That's if you go the least-amount-of-change route.
I still think if you want a fruit orchard you should do it. One of the main ideas of backyard orchard culture is that you keep them short enough that you don't need a ladder-- its' high density planting. Then all of those TALL trees to the north will be replaced with SHORT trees, allowing more indirect light without more heat, and a screen to avoid looking at your neighbor's pool. Tall to the south/west, short to the north/east.
And by the way, if you espalier the trees planted along the fence, then there really isn't much racking, it all falls in one pile naturally and you can leave it there to mulch the weeds.

Fun & Fun and Sun Water Sports Club Announcements
Fun and Sunners, take note of the Lake McClure campsite reservation procedures below if you are planning on attending the 4th of July outing. Also, be sure to sign up for a duty whenever you are attending any outing.
Boat Owners – the club has reserved 10 boat campsites in F-loop for each scheduled outing June through August, including the 4th of July outing. Therefore, there is no need for boat owners who are bringing their boat to make a campsite reservation assuming we have no more than 10 boats on the outing. When you arrive at the ranger station tell them that you are with Fun and Sun and they will assign you to your choice of the remaining club-reserved campsites. If we do have more than 10 boats on an outing there should still be plenty of campsites available other than 4th of July weekend.
Non-Boat Owners – if you are thinking of attending the 4th of July outing, make your reservation NOW! You can locate the numbers of your favorite campsites using the Barrett Cove Recreation Area map at the website page http://www.lakemcclure.com/index.cfm/information-center/area-maps/
To make a reservation, call MID at (855) 800-CAMP (2267) Mon-Fri 9:00-4:00 and tell them that you are with Fun and Sun Water Sports Club.
Request a campsite in F-loop and be ready to provide specific campsite numbers. You must call at least 24 hours before arrival any time you are making a reservation. While their website normally has the ability to accept online reservations MID may block out F-loop to give the club priority on F-loop reservations, so you need to call your reservation in.
2014 Drought Special Notice and Procedures:
We have been informed that the Barrett Cove Marina store, grill and gas pumps are open as usual until further notice. However, due to low water levels we still expect to hold our scheduled August and September outings on the delta and have already secured campsite reservations there. They will be weekend outings as usual, but on the delta. We will provide additional information in the outing announcements.

Cramer and Link: Taking a Breather on Financials
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Last week, Jim Cramer and Stephanie Link, co-managers of the Action Alerts PLUS portfolio, decided to exit their position in Morgan Stanley (MS - Get Report) and adopt a more cautious outlook on the financial sector as a whole.
In a recent video interview, Link stated, "I just don't like the way the yield curve is acting in the near-term, even if it is temporary." Add in Morgan Stanley's high beta, and it all but made sense to sell the name in order to reduce sector exposure.
However, short-term weakness and consolidation can work in investors' favor if they believe in the longer-term picture. And that breather is exactly what they're looking for after the sector put up big returns in 2013.
According to Link and Cramer, they plan on using their gains in Morgan Stanley to add to specific companies on a pullback. These buy-on-weakness stocks include: Bank of America
(BAC - Get Report), J.P. Morgan
(JPM - Get Report), KeyCorp
(KEY - Get Report), U.S. Bancorp
(USB - Get Report) and Hartford Financial
(HIG - Get Report).

Keep those shirtless pics coming, Justin! After finishing his concert in Mexico City on Nov. 19, Justin went shirtless yet again, giving us another peak at his chiseled body. We could stare at those sexy abs all day long — could you? Vote below!
Justin Bieber, 19, loves going shirtless in pics and giving us plenty of material to swoon over (particularly in the abdominal region). He was at it again on Nov. 19, tearing off his shirt at the end of his concert in Mexico City. Coincidentally, Justin's strip-down came just hours after a new interview was released that maybe revealed just why Justin goes shirtless so often.
Justin Bieber Strips Down On Stage
Justin is the king of Instagram shirtless selfies and sometimes he even goes strips down while performing, like when he ripped off his shirt in Mexico City to reveal his bulky chest and chiseled abs.
The singer was also rocking a backwards hat and a pair of black pants, but let's be honest, all anyone was looking at was his buff upper body.
Justin Bieber: Why He Goes Shirtless
And the singer finally gave some insight on his exhibitionist ways, revealing that he doesn't care about what people have to say about him in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"Sometimes you just have to say, 'I don't give a f**k,'" Justin said. "Not 'I don't give a f**k' to just be reckless and do whatever, but 'I don't give a f**k what they say.' I know who I am and what I'm doing in my life and what I've accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being. I'm happy with the man I'm becoming," he continued.
Well Justin, we think it's important you pay attention to what makes you happy and we're glad you have enough self-respect that you can ignore negative comments! And if that self-confidence means you'll keep going shirtless, then consider us on board.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you like Justin's shirtless pics? Should he keep posting them on Twitter and Instagram? Vote and let us know!

Looks like biebs should have listened to his manager and label he is blaming for the poor music sales. Australian fans and their parents cannot even resell the tickets they bought before his terrible South American tour. His p.r. trying to say he didn't know he was in a brothel yet stayed three hours and brought two prostitutes back to his hotel and him in bed sleeping after another prostitute posted the seats online turned off the fans and their parents. Tickets won't even sell on eBay. People don't want to go. He turned into a dirt bag and is losing his supporters. They don't like the new sleaze bag image.
Posted at 5:19 PM on November 21, 2013
How many times those overblown stories are going to be repeated? Now we have this report about australian ticket sales. First of all he has 7 concerts there in different areas. We will see if they sell out. Even top artists do not always sell out their concerts such as Rihanna and Lady Gaga for economic reasons or other. Some fans of Bieber are young and depend on parents to pay their way. In view of negative publicity they may have refused to let their pre teens and teens see Justin in concert. That is the harm irresponsible gossip sites have done with their overblown,exaggerated, or false reports.
P.S. He has sold out over 95 to 99% of his over 130 concerts so far and is considered one of the top concert tours; alleged poor sales in areas of Australia do not change that.

I UNDERSTAND HE HAS FANS AND FANS LOOK UP TO HIM BUT THEY SHOULDN'T CARE WHAT HE DOES WITH HIS LIFE. NO ONE IS PERFECT! ONCE A BIEBER FAN WILL ALWAYS BE, IF YOU STOP BECOMING A BIEBER FAN THEN YOU NEVER WAS.! HE IS AN AMAZING SINGER AND PERSON!

Finally Justin Bieber sticks up for himself, and tells his haters off and what he really think of them. Why should he stay quiet while they say every possible terrible thing about him? Stand up for yourself Justin because you know what kind of a person you are deep down inside. It's too bad that some people only think the worst in others and can't look past the drama.

Business Advisory Services, Associate Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Grant Thornton in November 2013.
The hiring process for Grant Thornton consisted of two rounds and a pre-interview dinner. The first round, in my situation, was at the Grant Thornton office; 30 mins with a Principal. Questions were mostly behavioral. It is pretty much a pre-screening of how you would mesh with the company. If you're a good fit, GT will extend an invitation for the final round interview along with an invitation to the pre-interview dinner. The dinner is fun! Candidates get to mingle and get to know the partners, directors, or senior managers that they will be potentially interviewing with. They do ask questions during the dinner so be prepared to answer. Then comes the final round. The final round is a 4-5 hr process. It consist of 3 interviews; partners or directors, senior manager, manager. Again, don't be timid; the GT culture is exactly everything you've been reading and hearing; assuming research about the firm has been conducted. Overall, GT was a good experience.

Ben confessed to Ellen DeGeneres on Jan. 25 that he was astounded by the way a certain woman acted on 'The Bachelor' when he wasn't around.
Ben Flajnik had no clue that while cunning Courtney Robertson was pretending to woo him on The Bachelor, she was also terrorizing the other contestants. Though Ben would not directly confirm to Ellen DeGeneres that he he's in fact engaged to Courtney at this point in time, he did hint that he's not happy with the way certain people behaved behind his back.
"I'm watching a lot of this stuff [for the first time] with everyone in America," Ben confessed on the Jan. 25 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Sometimes I'm taken back by some of the ladies' behavior. There are things that I see that I'm kind of like, 'Wow.'"
If Ben is engaged to Courtney, he definitely grilled her after watching the last episode. "I think that if I [did] pick someone, there are certainly going to be questions," he admitted.
Ben wanted the women to be honest with him. "I tried to be open and honest with these women," he said. "They need reassurance. I did, too."
"You never know who to trust," he added.

Kourney is cheap and easy.
On a previous episode he picks up a rose and looks like he is going to give it to his date then puts it back down and says i cannot give it to her. What a jerk. I can hardly stand to look at Ben's face. He looks like an caveman/ape and needs a hair cut badly.
Most of these women are way to good to be on this show. i feel sorry for them. Dont cry over this drama queen he isn't worth it.

Page 2 of 2 Previous
I'm not by nature much of a beach forager and usually beaches devolve into a litany of little crimes for me — the coral cuts your feet; the sand is muck; the tide is too pushy. But Sugar Beach's waterfront is the kind of cove you only see on brochures and secretly always suspected were airbrushed. The powdery white beach (it really is this time) arcs in an austerely elegant curve between the craggy bookends of St. Lucia's two best-known landmarks, the Gros and Petit Pitons. The loungers are fat white mattresses shaded by shaggy palm umbrellas. The waves roll in with a gentle slap, and when the sun sets, its rays stipple the center of the seafront. On my first night back a wooden sailing sloop (you can rent it out by the day) trailing high sails floated by, backlit by the rose-tinged Caribbean clouds. Now that beach is just showing off, I thought.
But finally nothing really can compete with the Pitons themselves. The two volcanic mountains are craggy spuds, furry with tropical brush, and they look mythical, haunting, primordial. Locals call them the island's twin breasts and the sense of almost maternal connection seems inevitable, because the Pitons are as tenacious and unmovable as St. Lucia itself — and just as storied, though you have to pry the stories out. I had always assumed they were uninhabited. But the day I left St. Lucia, a waiter at Sugar Beach told me that wasn't true. Runaway plantation slaves moved up the slopes of the Gros Piton in the 18th century, cultivating gardens in the plateaus, living in pitted caves, and building a renegade world near the clouds. Hugging the sheltering mountain, they had really come home.

"when Does This Place Get To New York?"
The Queen Mary in Peace and War
June/July 1979 | Volume 30, Issue 4
She resumed carrying the international quality. The writer sailed in her seven or eight times with his boss, Lord Beaverbrook, the Canadian newspaper proprietor. A few vignettes of memory: the Windsors walking their dogs on an upper deck and quarreling; Beaverbrook in his deck chair, closing his eyes and adjusting his asthma mouth-mask when he spotted social acquaintances he did not feel like greeting; Ian Fleming poring over the galleys of his first James Bond novel, Casino Royale , and muttering, "Crap! Crap!"
The candlelit Verandah Grill, the tables adorned with exquisite arrangements of fresh flowers, was perhaps the most glamorous restaurant in the world. Caviar consumed was replaced by another double dollop on request. The maître d'h'f4tel coquettishly hid the menu behind his back and challenged the passengers to test the chef's genius for anything they wanted, from Beef Wellington to tripe and onions.
The red-and-white baggage stickers for first-class passengers were one of the great prestige symbols of international society, and even the blue-and-white tourist-class sticker could be worn with pride.
The Queen Elizabeth , too, was magnificent, but she lacked the Mary 's cachet. Although she had been sailing the world's waters throughout the war, she did not make her official maiden voyage until the war ended, and had no prewar tradition to call on; until her dying day she was always somewhat new , the eternal bridesmaid, never the bride.
Three years after the war the North Atlantic run was just as crowded as it had been before the fighting began. Great new liners were being built in the United States, France, and Britain. Thirty thousand feet above, adventurous red-eyed travelers flew in propeller-driven airplanes, disembarking into Quonset huts at Heathrow, outside London, or into the flaking stucco pavilion at Le Bourget, Paris. They returned to the Art Deco Marine Terminal at New York's La Guardia, which looked as though Amelia Earhart or Amy Johnson might arrive any moment in leather helmet and goggles. But the air-passenger load was tiny compared with that carried in ships. As late as 1952, the year of the maiden voyage of the majestic United States , nearly twice as many people crossed the Atlantic by sea as by air.
But just six years later it all began to change. In 1958, for the first time, more people flew than sailed across the Atlantic—1,200,000 to 937,000. From then on the graph never ceased to plummet for the shipping lines. The Queens kept sailing for another nine years. The Mary started her fivehundredth and last round-trip voyage on September 17,1967, arriving back at Southampton on September 27. On October 31, about ten thousand Southamptonians, many weeping, saw her leave her traditional No. 107 berth for the last time. A band of the Royal Marines played "Auld Lang Syne." Helicopters forming the shape of an anchor gave her an aerial salute. Her buyer was the City of Long Beach, California, which paid $3.45 million. Too big for the Panama Canal, she arrived in California by way of Cape Horn on December 9, just in time. After more than thirty years of steaming, her funnels were reduced to rust, and chunks could be crumbled in the hand like corn flakes. They were replaced by aluminum replicas, and the Mary became a Hyatt hotel with shops, restaurants, pizza parlors.
Some years later, a cleaning woman pulled out a drawer from one of the staterooms. On the underside she found written the names of a score or so of GIs, perhaps the last artifacts of the American boys the Queen Mary transported to Europe during the war, and the sadly fewer she brought back.
