Lights! Camera! Meet!
With such a large team and extended shift hours, getting everyone to all the meetings was becoming difficult, yet we wanted to ensure that everyone was getting the same message in a timely manner. So we purchased a DVD camcorder to record every team and staff meeting. If an employee is unable to attend a meeting, he or she has one week to check out the DVD and take a quiz on the information discussed. If the employee does this, the absence is excused and will not be reflected in his or her annual performance review. The recordings have been a huge success. The team that works the midnight shift no longer has to come back to work a few hours later to attend a meeting. Staff members who were on vacation can hear the same message everyone else heard when they get back, and we can eliminate the "I didn't know" excuse when we introduce a new product or protocol. By adding this simple step we increase communication and decrease inconsistencies.Angie Hartin is the bookkeeper and assistant practice manager at Hawthorne Animal Hospital in Glen Carbon, Ill. |

Re: invalid pom in maven central, for 0.8.0-beta1

There is so much talk of the closure of Google Reader, but nowhere do I find the reason why Google has chosen to axe this product. There are many people out there, like me, who regard Reader as a one-stop digital news stand. What discourages us consumers sometimes from aquiring news is the time taken to reach it. Reader offered fast, reliable access to different websites in one place. For example, I follow The Economist's Babbage audio podcasts that are published on Soundcloud through Reader thanks to the RSS feed from Souncloud. It takes two clicks to hit the play button!
SPRING cleaning has a lot to commend it. But when Google announced that it is binning its Reader, which aggregates information from websites' news feeds, tech types around the world erupted in righteous fury. Many websites which have come to depend on the service to power their news feeds now fret that Google's decision will cost them millions of readers—and with that lots of advertising revenue. Users, meanwhile, worry about impending newslessness.
Google launched Reader in 2005. By offering it to users for free, it undercut, and ultimately eliminated, all substantial competitors in the news-aggregation business. The few that remained began requiring a Google Reader account and used the search giant's service to handle synchronisation of feeds among a user's mobile and desktop devices. At the time, the servers and storage required might have cost millions of dollars a year, posing a high barrier to entry.
Google Reader relies on news-syndication technology collectively called "RSS", even though there are in fact four rival formats (three types of RSS and one called Atom). In the late 1990s "push" news services used dedicated servers to collect information from news websites and push updates to specialised software on users' computers. This overtaxed the early internet, as hundreds or thousands of people on a single network or internet service provider would each receive a separate hunk of data with every update. Push was quickly banned and more or less died in 1999.
RSS gets round this problem by letting users pick what news they want to get. A user subscribes to an RSS feed by adding it to a list in so-called newsreader software, which includes mobile and desktop programs and web apps like Google Reader. Publishers automatically update syndication files (often in all four popular formats) on their websites whenever they create or update an item of content. Software on a user's computer "polls" to see if changes were made, pulls the RSS file, compares it against the previously retrieved copy, and highlights any changes. (Since the feeding website has no information about the subscriber, unsubscribing too is hassle-free; when a user removes the feed from his list, the website can no longer pester him.)
Google (and other aggregators of the day) made the process more efficient for publishers by reducing the number of requests for the RSS file. If a million Reader users subscribed to the New York Times main feed, Google only had to make a single query to retrieve the file. Google Reader users would receive the changed Times stories the next time they logged into Google's site or refreshed stories in software that relied on Reader for updates. This shifted the burden of a million queries from the Times to Google, and made Google the nexus for updates. (Google also solved a host of technical problems ensuring that Reader offered a smooth experience.)
Tens of millions of internet users embraced RSS feeds via Google Reader and other software that mostly relies upon the search giant's news-aggregating engine. That may sound a lot, but it pales into insignificance next to the more than a billion who get their fix of news via Twitter or Facebook, not to mention e-mail. Still, Brent Simmons, who developed a popular news-feed reader called NetNewsWire, notes that in contrast to Twitter and other services, RSS links users and websites directly through a distributed network without intermediaries. No central authority dictates how feeds are displayed, decides whether to include ads, or shuts down a feed (unless the news provider goes under). Dave Winer, responsible for developing the first widespread RSS format and popularising it, worried in a blog that Google did too effective a job at making its Reader synonymous with RSS, and its exit may kill the format's effectiveness.
Others are more sanguine. Marco Arment, the owner of Instapaper, a service which lets readers save articles for later, ad-free perusing, wrote in a blog that Google's exit may create room for new ideas. The firm's dominance discouraged entrepreneurs from entering the market, and venture capitalists from supporting those that wanted to take on the web giant. With Google gone, this is bound to change.
However, a number of developers and software firms immediately issued plans to help users transfer to alternative services. One popular idea is to reverse engineer Google's developer interface in such a way that existing user software will still work. Thanks to virtual servers and cloud storage at Amazon, Rackspace and others, the cost of setting up a news aggregator has fallen to a few thousand dollars a year. The gap left by Google will not take long to brim with hopeful upstarts.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops - Declassified (PlayStation Vita) PS Vita 12 New from £18.12 Free delivery Available used from £24.57
5 Very Addictive!!Posted: 15/11/2012Ok everyone is gonna compare this to the ps3 version and my personal thoughts are i find this game very addictive. Graphics are very impressive and smooth.The controls are easy to get to grips with this is how cod should be played in my opinion just like the ps3 version apart from you use the touchscreen to throw the grenades or smoke bombs now ive not looked in the settings to see if this can be changed but to be honest i prefer it this way its easy to master and you can start to enjoy playing this game on the go wherever you are. Also the screen is big enough to see your soldiers and to see your enemy i got to admit i were slightly worried that the screen would be a bit too small for this type of game i was wrong overall this game deserves a 10/10 a must buy for any cod fans or 1st person shoot em ups

5 Amazing!Posted: 26/02/2012Ok for me this film took a while to get going for the first hour then once it got going i was amazed with the effects and the 3d especially with the fight scenes, totally incredible. This is a film to show off in front of your mates for the 3d alone. Michael Bay has certainly gone to town with the effects in this film. Excellent purchase in my opinion.

4 Great film, shame about 3d.Posted: 01/01/2012Watched this over xmas and really did enjoy this film, good story where it dont baffle you too much easy to get into and the quality is really impressive. As for 3d its totally pointless wished i watched it in normal nothing pops out one bit if you have seen "clash of the titans" 3d and enjoyed that then you will enjoy the 3d in this film. Its good you get the other discs with this. I kinda wished i watched it just on normal blueray but never mind, overall a really good purchase as you get more than 1 copy i havent lost out just because the 3d is poor i just watch it normal next time round.

One to put on my xmas list by the time this comes out, absolutely superb!
4 No red cards availablePosted: 01/10/2011This is a decent looking game but dont find it realistic as ive been doing really bad tackles in and out of penalty area but yet to get any red cards, thats the only down side to this game ive found other than that its a decent game. Players look alot realistic this time out also.

In the blink of an eye
You're ten
Wanting to be thirteen
Now you're thirteen
Wanting to be eighteen
Today you're eighteen
Wanting to be twenty-one
The days slip by without your notice
Before you guess your thirty
Maybe married.
Family on the way.
'I still have plenty of time'
You laugh to me
Fifty years have have passed
Children grown up
Life half lived
'But now come the golden years'
You say
Seventy-five years come and gone
'Where did my life go?'
You say.
Days pass by without notice
And still time passes by.

Thanks to one of our valued members of Dick Flash Touch providing some excellent suggestions by using our ideas mailbox (firstname.lastname@example.com) we have since revised our updates.
From now on, you will now have access to not one....but TWO new flashing videos on a 4 weekly basis. The interesting part is one of these videos will be an "unsuccessful" flash and the other will be "successful".
Our video archive from the past couple of years is literally inundated with unsuccessful flashes (around 80%). These vary from disgruntled passers by to groups of people vacating buses. YOU wanted to see this apparently just as much as the successful flashes we made, therefore we pride on giving you what you want. You will see these updates from this month! Thanks guys!
This is a great new feature to Dick Flash Touch that allows all of our members and visitors to see what new things we've got going on with our website and more! Feel free to have a browse!
we have sound!
10th July 2013 -
Once again, thanks to the brilliant community of Dick Flash lovers across the globe, you have voiced your opinion on videos containing sound in place of subtitles.
We can assure you this was never an intention to "cop out" by not providing sound, this was in compliance with our terms and conditions with Shadow Pictures Ltd and protecting identities of persons involved with the risky job that we do.
Therefore, after careful consultation we have decided new updates from today will contain FULL sound but our flasher's voice will remain subtitled to continue protecting his identity. Keep the ideas and constructive feedback coming!
15th July 2013 -
Today we received an update from Paypal. Currently due to some legal reasons Paypal are disputing any new members at present. Therefore for now we are not accepting any new members.
Rest assured we are working on this problem as fast as we possibly can! Any updates will be on this page about the issue but for the time being please be patient with us.
Please send ANY questions or concerns to:
We will respond the same day. Thank you.
18th SEPTEMBER 2013 -
After almost two months of legal battles and lots of money invested to rejuvenate the website you've all begged for, we are FINALLY up and running again!
CCBill have been wonderful in taking over Paypal as your service provider. Rest assured, if you have ANY direct questions or complaints, don't feel you have to be "re-directed" to CCBill, we will do our utmost to respond on an hourly basis every day of the week (find our contact details in "contact us").
So from here, we just want to thank all of you for being immensely patient during this frustrating time. Lets look ahead for some utterly risky and highly watchable flashes!!!
October offer!
7th OCTOBER 2013 -
A special offer ONLY for October 2013, subscribe now for only $9.97 (approx. £6.00) slashed down from $18.00 and gain access to all videos and updates this month!

Happy new year to all flashers around the world! Here's to many more exciting and daring flashing scenarios still to come!
Remember, if you have an idea of where or how you'd like us to flash, send your suggestion to:
Within reason, we will try our best!
Hey guys. After a few technical issues we were unable to provide an update for February. As a gesture we will now be uploading two new updates in March.
We are getting riskier and better. Remember to send some of your ideas through to "firstname.lastname@example.com" if you'd like to see us flash certain types of people in specific locations (nothing too dangerous or unrealistic, we're only human).
Thanks for the support guys. Enjoy this months updates coming in a week or so.
Hello all! We've had several suggestions from our 'ideas' mailbox that we loved and wanted to attempt, namely swimming pools and railway stations.
Unfortunately, this job doesn't get any easier (believe me). It's a risky business and you have to be careful who you speak to that may or may not cause offence.
We do our utmost to adhere to the policy to never intentionally offend anyone. We're just here to provide adult entertainment in a safe environment for our loyal fan base.
With that said, our latest updates are a little less risky but still dangerously exciting to engage a reaction! Enjoy.

12 surprising things I learned from "The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball History"
1. Although Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper, and Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton became the first African-Americans in the NBA in 1950, the distinction of being the league's first nonwhite player oddly enough belongs to a 5 ft. 7 in. Japanese-American, Wataru "Wat" Misaka. After leading the University of Utah to NCAA and NIT titles, he played three games with the New York Knicks in 1947, when the NBA was known as the Basketball Association of America.
2 .The Magic Johnson-Larry Bird rivalry is often credited with reviving the NBA in the 1970s, as their teams met about 40 times. The frequency of these showdowns, however, pales in comparison with Wilt Chamberlain-Bill Russell duels, in which the two centers went mano a mano 142 times between 1959 and 1969.
3. Despite their fierce on-court rivalry, Russell and Chamberlain actually were quite chummy otherwise. Chamberlain hosted Russell at Thanksgiving six times and Russell would invite Chamberlain to his Boston home, where they would enjoy Russell's model trains.

Keeping track of new information after you child has been diagnosed with a brain tumor can be a challenge. Knowing what's important and remembering everything you are told can present challenges. The following are a list of suggested questions you can ask your child's doctor at their appointments. It's also a good idea to write down any other questions you might have in between appointments so that you can bring them with you.
General Questions:
Not everyone wants or requires a second opinion, but it can be very reassuring, and no doctor should be insulted by your requesting to consult another doctor about your child's life and well-being. Opinions may not, of course, be of equal value. Try to obtain them from pediatric specialists and/or oncologists familiar with cases like your child's.

Driving in Style: Promo Cars of the 1950s and 60s
The innovative and flamboyant car designs of the 1950's are now iconic. To whet consumers' appetites for the "latest thing," the Big Three American automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) began to release new models with slightly redesigned features every year. To promote the new vehicles, dealers distributed highly-detailed plastic models or "promos." Like their full-size versions, these colorful miniatures boasted streamlined tail fins and polished chrome grilles, reflections of the period's Space Age design and general prosperity. Given to potential buyers and their children, these salesman's samples are highly collectible today. Lent by Robert Reinhold and John O'Halloran, the promos in EAM's presentation will be on view in the McCormick House, also designed in the 1950s.

CHICAGO (AP) — It has been six decades since doctors concluded that addiction was a disease that could be treated, but today the condition still dwells on the fringes of the medical community. Only 1 cent of every health care dollar in the United States goes toward addiction, and few alcoholics and drug addicts receive treatment. One huge barrier, according to many experts, has been a lack of health insurance.
WASHINGTON (AP) —Major contractors hooking up the internal plumbing of President Barack Obama's health care law projected confidence Tuesday that they will be ready to go by an Oct. 1 deadline, even though the system is still being tested. With just three weeks to go before new state health insurance markets launch, efforts are ongoing to reliably link up government agencies, the markets themselves and private health plans. The congressional
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Set on a gritty corner of Oakland's International Boulevard, the nonprofit Street Level Health Project offers free checkups to patients who speak a total of 22 languages, from recent Mongolian immigrants seeking a doctor to Burmese refugees in need of a basic dental exam. It also provides a window into one of the challenges for state officials who are trying to implement the Affordable Care Act,
PHOENIX (AP) — Helena Gudger is the type of person health insurance companies need on the books as the federal Affordable Care Act begins to roll out: Young, relatively healthy and hungry for coverage. The 26-year-old Phoenix resident has gone the past four years without health insurance, using clinics and the county hospital for checkups, routine tests and visits to a gynecologist. She pays cash, checks prices and tries to
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Eric Jones has an incentive to end his trips to the party store for cigarette tubes and tobacco, the roll-your-own supplies used to fill his pack-a-day habit. The 40-year-old has no health insurance from his $9-an-hour job at an ice-manufacturing plant in Lansing. Under the federal health care law, he's eligible for help from the government to buy insurance. But to qualify, he'll almost certainly have
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Restaurant owners Colleen and Tim Holmes were considering opening a third business in a growing upstate New York suburb but decided against it. One factor was the risk from expanding their staff beyond 50 full-time employees and having to provide them federally mandated health coverage. Despite knowing the penalty for that part of the Affordable Care Act had been postponed for a year, the couple said

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
We have skiied all over North America, yet Zermatt was one of our most spectacular family ski trips ever. Only Aspen in the states could match the setting (but Aspen doesn't have that Matterhorn looming in the distance). We stayed at one of the Seiler Hotels, the Nicoletta, and loved it - all rooms had views of the Matterhorn and it was centrally located. We skied over the top three times to Cervina - a nice contrast to Zermatt's slopes - it's a "must do" when in Zermatt. Only do this on nice sunny days with little wind. Skiing Zermatt is much like Deer Valley in the states - perfectly groomed trails. We loved the powder but found that few Europeans were skiing in it and stuck to the groomed trails. You can read our complete 10 page review at http://www.gotozermatt.com Everyone should definitely go to Zermatt and experience the magic of the Matterhorn!
