When news first hit that "Wedding Crashers" helmer Dave Dobkin was producing a 'reboot' of the classic "National Lampoon's Vacation" I think it's safe to say we fans of the franchise ("Cousin Eddie's.." is not canon; it's just not!) all united in a chorus of sigh. That original film, starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo as the hapless Griswolds, is such an unyielding laugh orgy that no 'reboot' or 'remake' or whatever you wanna call it can top it… it's just a special frickin' film.
Still, Dobkin tells Collider that the script for the film has come out great. Hmmm. He suggests the film will be so different than the 1984 film and not-so-rebootish that it might be able to stand on it's own sans marketing crutch. Guess it's a good start fixing the film around 'Rusty' as opposed to Clark. Still…
Dobkin on the script :
"Oh my God dude, this script came out so good it's crazy. It's not a total reboot by the way, it's a reboot of the franchise but it's Rusty's story. It's not trying to start again from zero."
On why the film's main character will be grown-up son, Rusty :
…it's great because it's all about how you make the mistakes your father made, that your parents made (laughs). It's so smart, and it's insanely funny. The guys that wrote Horrible Bosses, Goldstein and Daly, wrote it. We're just about to go out for casting for that.
Dobkin said he can't confirm or deny whether Chevy Chase will be back as Clark Griswold… but I'm betting he's already a lock.
What isn't a lock is the film's setting; At this stage Dobkin doesn't know if they'll have the Griswold's traveling to 'Wally World' just as they did in 1984 :
To be determined. TBD. This is actually one of the things that we were on the phone with New Line discussing the destination. In some ways it works brilliantly, and then for other obvious reasons it may or may not. But it's really cool, it's insanely funny. Look one of the things I love about the original movie is comedies overall do not stand up over time, the sense of comedy changes in each generation, but Vacation is still as shocking and as funny as it was when it was made. There's stuff in that movie that you would think was insane today: "Daddy taught me how to French kiss," I mean there's just things that are insane, it's off it's head. So that's why I went for it, cause I really loved it and I just love the themes of that movie. The whole thing about how family is so fucked up and all of our good memories are somehow memories only in the photographs and the real experiences are all on the borderline of being horrendous. There's just a great universal truth in that thing. And look they destroyed the franchise in the second and third movie, but the first is just an absolutely brilliant piece of filmmaking."
"Christmas Vacation" was rubbish, he says!? Blasphermy! It's terrific!
Anyway, any ideas for 'Rusty'? Personally, I think they should bring Anthony Michael Hall – who originated the character in the first – back to reprise the role.

Fun new addition to Beaver Creek! Came here with family and had a great time. Limited seating and small sushi bar with about 5 flat screen TVs that were showing ESPN the whole time. Service was average at best. One of us ordered The Crimpster which came out EXTREMELY late after the other dishes. When we asked what was the delay, the waitress informed that The Crimpster was taking longer because they are frozen and it had to be thawed. It wasn't bad, but would not get again. Rolls were good, soups/salads were large. Reasonably priced compared to many places in Beaver Creek. A fun time and would go back again. Recommended!

ck trying to steal a Manteca garbage truck.
Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day.
Two of Manteca's roughest stretches of street from a pavement standpoint will become much smoother this summer.
Several months ago, Stella Brockman School and the local Chili's Grill & Bar held a carnival for a good cause.
Three auto burglaries took place within some two hours in Manteca Saturday morning in addition to vehicle thefts and home burglaries during the day, according to Manteca Police.
The Manteca Garden Club's popular garden tour is back.
Vada McKinnon would have been proud to have seen the flowering plum tree added to Cotta Park Monday morning.
They are Great Options, whether the economy is up or down.
Elvis lives.
AKF Development – the firm that played a pivotal role in helping Manteca snag The Promenade Shops at Orchard Valley and Del Webb at Woodbridge plus converted the old Spreckels Sugar factory site into a $200 million economic juggernaut - is now being tapped to help Manteca secure a water park and a hotel.
RIPON - The Ripon City Council is faced with even more drastic cuts when members will mull over the first draft of the city's budget for the next fiscal year at their 7 p.m. Tuesday night meeting devoted to budget study.
The odds are if you called 9-1-1 to summon the Manteca Fire Department in 2009 it wasn't due to fire but a medical emergency.
Angie Ramey didn't waste any time in mobilizing her troops to take to the Tidewater Bikeway in an effort to clean up the garbage left behind by the inconsiderate people who use one of Manteca's crown jewels.
RIPON – Melinda Shaw did her best to keep her composure as she maneuvered her way through the vacant Ripon Drug and Gift building on Main Street on Saturday.
LATHROP – Jenica Reagan is already the proud owner of a ewe and a wether sheep.
The quilted American flag occupying one entire wall at Ladybug Quilts in Manteca is not just a store decoration.
Looking for a street address in Manteca?
Manteca may make its biggest tax sharing deal ever to get the biggest economic return yet for the municipal general fund.
Manteca firefighters are arriving at emergency calls quicker despite an increase in calls.
Home sales at River Islands at Lathrop and elsewhere will help start moving a proposed satellite county center toward becoming a reality in Manteca.
In the summer, with California in the throes of a record-setting drought, the sign that popped up all over the farming areas in and around Manteca caught a bit of attention with the message: "Pray for Rain."
Manteca had a sweet deal going when Spreckles Sugar opened its factory for what ended up being an 80-year run.
East Union celebrated the return of its music man, Jose Baron, this past weekend.
There's nothing small about the proposed Lathrop Gateway Business Park.
The value of search and rescue dogs throughout the state was demonstrated before Manteca Unified School District's law enforcement and fire service students in the be.tech Academy's "First Responders" program.
An estimated 10,000 mourners paid their final respects to Wenjian Liu.

I need advice on computer protection
I have a Dell desktop computer, using Windows XP. I've used the free protection 'suite' provided by my cable company all these years.... CA Internet Suite. Antivirus, malware, firewall, etc. There are times it about drove me bonkers until I learned how to set it up to suit MY needs, but I've never had an viruses.
So now I get an email from the cable company telling me I have 5 days to go to their website and download McAfee as it's taking the place of CA. I don't think I want McAfee. What would you advise I do instead so that I'd have both anti virus and firewall protection? I don't want to be without all that I need. Or should I take the 'easy' way out, and download McAfee?
Thanks in advance.
Provided you have requirements of at least xp sp3
Microsoft Security Essentials (free)
simple.. install it, and then forget about it.
But first you want to go to www.appremover.com for a program that will completely remove your CA program. So that the leftovers from it wont conflict with a new replacement install of a competing product.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.microsoft.com/security
agree you do not want McAfee been there done that and paid the price for it so definitely avoid that. Appremover will do a good job of clearing out all of the CA for you
if you do not have xp sp3 by some chance then you can go with AVAST free which is what I have on a couple of mine.
Using AppRemover
With XP you will also need a firewall. Maybe Zone Alarm Free.
Another Firewall recommendation
Here is a link that might be useful: personal_firewall
So now I get an email from the cable company telling me I have 5 days to go to their website and download McAfee.....
First thing I would be doing is questioning the email.
Is it really from your ISP? Did you confirm this with your ISP?
I am very suspicious of emails saying I HAVE to use something.
Avast is great. I recommend it. Set it to silent/gaming mode.
Pooh Bear
I wouldn't want McAfee either, and MSE has been working well for me so far. However, if your ISP is somehow going to restrict your access to service & support if you choose not to use McAfee, then possibly that is a problem. Only you can decide if you're okay with that.
The email IS from my isp. I went to their website to make sure. They're not saying I -have- to use McAfee, just that if I want them to supply free firewall, anti-virus, email protection, etc, then I have to download McAfee by Mar 28 as my current CA from them will no longer work. There are no restrictions if I don't use theirs, just that I can't call them if I have a problem with whatever I go with.
I forgot to say that I am using sp3 WinXP. So, ravencajun, does that mean I can't use Avast if that's what I'd choose.
Do all of the programs suggested above, does that give me email protection also. I still use Outlook Express.
I've always used a 'suite' for protection....first Norton's, my own. Then CA provided by cable co. So I'm lost when it comes to having several other separate programs.
Thanks for all your help. Believe me, I don't mind asking what may sound like stupid questions, and even re-asking if I'm not sure. I just want my computer protected.
I think this is getting way too complicated.
My thought is to remove unwanted AV and any other unwanted detection applications. Then,
As Mikie reported, Install MSE.
As Bob reported, install ZA.
Finally, install Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware configured for on-demand as a second tier detection/protection with regular .dat file updates.
Hi gadgets,
If you like we can get this all set up today for you. I have provided a step by step guide for you to follow if you would like to proceed.
Avast should provide E-Mail protection in it's ability to scan E-Mail attachments. I will also recommend a Firewall below. Avast will work fine with XP.
Download Avast from the web site above. Do not install it yet.
**On that Web page over to the right on top click Download latest Version
Download Application Remover from site listed below. This tool will remove CA Security for you.
Once Application remover has completed removing CA Security
Go back and double click the Avast set-up file you downloaded before. This will install Avast Anti Virus for you.
I will recommend a Firewall to use below, download it and install it.
Let us know how you come along with the steps above. Any issues we can help you along.
I am a firm believer in not making final decisions on things of this importance in a hurry. So I've decided to wait until Tuesday to do whatever I decide is best for me. I'm leaning towards either MSE with the two backup programs OR the programs suggested by Zep and others.
I want to thank those of you who suggested using appremover as I don't think I ever fully got rid of Norton years ago, until I bought a new computer. It would occasionally rear its ugly head on the old one. So I already know I'll be using that program. Do I use it before I download new ones OR download but wait till I get rid of CA to install?
I always get a little nervous/anxious when I have to do something like this. I am truly thankful that I know I can come to you, even over and over, to get problems resolved.
Zep has given you the proper steps to take and in which order to do it.
Yes you can use AVAST or MSE either one since you have sp3 xp.
Don't get nervous about it this is really fairly simple now with these tools available. The appremover makes it so much easier than it once was.
I use and have used AVAST for years, I have put MSE on my sisters pc and my brother in laws, so either one is a good choice.
Once you have your Antivirus situation take care of then it would be a very good idea to consider adding Malwarebytes for an added layer of protection you would have to update it and run the scan ever couple of weeks, it will catch the types of infections that the Antivirus may miss. I will link to those directions here so it is all in one place for you when you decide to do that.
Just take it one step at a time and we are here to help.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (Win) - Detecting and Removing Malware
it is also free, there is a pay version but you can just choose the free.
Download the new programs you are going to use but do not install until after using Appremover. Then, install the new protection.
Not sure what you mean by MSE and "the two backup programs". Which two backups are you referring to? You still need a firewall, so be sure you install one as well as MSE.
Sorry, grandms, I guess I was a little vague on using the terms backup programs. I was referring to this that damccoy wrote:
"As Mikie reported, Install MSE.
As Bob reported, install ZA.
Finally, install Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware configured for on-demand as a second tier detection/protection with regular .dat file updates."
I used to have and use both MB and SAS but all of a sudden the CA suite I had installed wouldn't work till I got rid of them.
Download your MSE or whatever first before you uninstall, so you can add back protection before you might bake brownies or something and forget .. I'm a MSE lover, I love brownies too :)
Maybe the AppRemover might find some old norton items also . When you use AppRemover, its important to restart the computer when it tells you to ... without closing the AppRemover program. Otherwise it seems to forget to remove the folders & their contents.
Just my minds 2 cents..
When I install MSE on xp, I install the beta 4 version, it offers some extra protections, so there isnt much to worry about adding any extra 3rd party firewalls just for an outgoing firewall. The xp microsoft firewall is fine ... Whats there is good enough combined with MSEb4.
experiences past several months ...
I must be on computers remotely at least once a day fixing something or installing/upgrading REMOVING tons of FREE TOOLBARS!!!!!!!! .. maybe 2 or 3x weekly do virus removals on those computers. Few hundred people rely on me for this.
I often see the Avast & Avira and some of the other major populars disabled by a virus... sitting there looking good, look to be working, yet they are not working at all.
Many have been bypassed in the registry for warning or updates. Some of the registry is so mixed up for the installed Av.. its hard to say what they do ...
Try to start & scan.. they may or may not start up.. they may scan full in just minutes if they do start .. which is impossible to do.
For what ever reasons? I dont know why, I dont see this happen with MSE.
I still see this way over done. Maybe there is too many well-intended cooks in this soup.
A member of limited experience, I apologize if I am wrong, was nervous before this thread. I imagine there is no since of relief for her yet.
I suggest this, please read this thread as it stands now and review the hyperlinks provided. Then make your own decision as to what you want to do. Share this information with us on THIS thread and it can be reviewed. No one here will let you unknowingly step in a puddle without first telling you it is raining.
I always supported the XP firewall until several years ago as bots and such became more prevalent. Now?? I can't do it in good faith. Just me.
This is my plan of action for Tuesday afternoon:
1. Download MSE but do NOT install yet (Mikie I'm unclear about downloading beta4 version. Does that mean I can't use MB and SAS?)
2. Download application remover. Run it to uninstall CA program. (Since I will have to actually run it, I won't know till then what all it asks for, etc.) Restart the computer when it tells me to ... without closing the AppRemover program.
3. Install MSE
4. Download and install free firewall (don't know which one yet)
5. Download and install Malwarebytes
6. Download and install Super AntiSpyware
Do I have the right order for doing everything? When I install MSE, will I have to configure settings? If there's anything in the above that's not right, please feel free to let me know.
Yes you seem to have it sorted out nicely. Go for it.
No, there is no need to change any setting on Microsoft Security Essentials. It will up date when ever updates become available automatically. By default it will scan your computer at 2 a.m. on Sundays or the next time the computer starts unless you change that option.
The only thing I like to do with MSE is make sure the small 'bungalow' icon stays green. If it goes orange take a look, it likely missed and update or failed to scan. This occurs rarely but for safety sake take a look now and then to be sure.
(Mikie I'm unclear about downloading beta4 version. Does that mean I can't use MB and SAS?)
it works with them just fine.
Those are not full time running or actively checking each file as its touched, like a MSE would.. SAS & MBAm only run on demand.
here's link to microsoft public beta 4, Security Essentials . Some of the popular download sites will have it too. If you want to use it...
Here is a link that might be useful: https://connect.microsoft.com/site981/program7299
I have done all that I listed above. I checked in add/remove after I'd run the appremover. It showed CA antivirus being gone but yet CA firewall remains. As I didn't have protection, I didn't want to come back on here until I'd installed MSE. What do I now do about that?
I've downloaded but not installed Zone Alarm, Malwarebytes, and SuperAntiSpyware.
Next step please. I don't want to install these other programs until I get help with the CA firewall that still shows up.
Help again, please.
Sounds like the fireall was a second install... just click from Add/Remove the firewall uninstall. see if that takes it away.
Might look at CA uninstaller below.. I'd run that anyways, just a 2nd shot at removing any missed left overs.
Reboot... install your zone alarms... it probably will want a restart.. then install the scanners MBAM & SAS.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://cainternetsecurity.net/KB/KD.aspx?KDId=1056
I did the add/remove for the CA Firewall, and it came up with a message saying I had to have the disk to do it. I have never had a disk as I always downloaded through my cable company.
I went to the website you have listed but found on there where it said to go to another site if you were having the problem that the antivirus uninstalled but not the firewall, and when it can't be removed through add/remove.
When you go to that site, it gives you 8 steps. I did down through number 4, but don't see any Kmx drivers.
I have downloaded the program from CA that you suggested. But haven't run it yet. Do you still want me to do that?
Right now, I'd like to have someone standing right beside me telling me 'do this, now do that'. ;*)
Have to run in town for my evening meal now. I'm dealing with big water problems right now too, so will get takeout.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cannot uninstall firewall
I have downloaded the program from CA that you suggested. But haven't run it yet. Do you still want me to do that?
Run that ... make sure to look at any instructions.
Sometimes they require you to run them from safe mode, but it will tell you boldly if thats required.
I ran the program and it didn't take care of the problem. It still shows in add/remove. If I click remove, even if it gives me the message about the disk, when I come back to add/remove page, the item is gone. But if I close it and come back, it's there again. BTW, it doesn't show ANY MB size at all now though.
So, here sits the student saying "What now, Teacher?"
I just wanted to come on here and thank each of you again for your help. I finally decided to not worry about the CA showing in add/remove. And went on this morning to finish up my list.
I've installed Zone Alarm. Also installed Malwarebytes and Super Spyware, and ran scans with both. SS found 2 tracking cookies, but other than that, all was well.
Sometimes it seems as if my computer is a little slower, but that might be my imagination.
So, again, thanks for all your help.
If the firewall is still running the computer will probably run slower. It's possible you now have 2 firewalls running. Not a good idea! Lets check and see.
Do you have time to follow the instructions below:
Click Here to download HJTInstall.exe
Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop. Right click the Hijackthis Icon and Run as Adminstrator if you use Vista or Windows 7
By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Click on Install.
It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" and Paste the entire contents of the log into your next post.
DO NOT use the AnalyzeThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what HJT lists will be harmless or even required by your Operating System.
Then do this,
Double click the hijackthis Icon on the Desktop, Scroll down to Open the Misc Tools section" Click it at the bottom under System tools click "Open Uninstall Manager" over to the right click "Save List" Save it to your Desktop so you may find it, copy and paste it in your next reply..

I replaced the Dunlop 404 on the rear of my bike with the Pirelli. The Pirelli rides like a dream. It doesn't follow cracks in the road and feels extremely stable. If it lasts more than 5000 miles, I will be replacing the front tire with a Pirelli also.

Invermay[pronunciation?] is a diffuse settlement in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is situated approximately 2 km southeast of Forteviot on the Water of May, some 8 km southwest of Perth.[1]
An early medieval freestanding cross was once located at Invermay (grid reference NO05981664, but was destroyed in the 18th century and it was replaced with a modern stone.[2][3] The fragments of the original are thought to be those now found in the Porch of Forteviot church.[4]

Gozo is our longest continuously running retreat and this is our 8th year running our yoga holidays in this beautiful destination. We keep coming back, and for a very simple reason; it's great!
Nestled right down in the South of the Mediterranean, it's the hottest place in Europe.

MCM seats buck 50 stitch
from Jay Z (Ft. Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Nas & Swizz Beatz) – BBC Lyrics on Genius
MCM stands for Mode Creation Munich- a German Luxury brand that specializes in Leather and Hardgoods. It is very expensive- likely around 50 dollars per stitch. Hova has enough money to customize his car seats with them. MCM has also been referenced by other rappers including Kool G. Rap in his song "Cars"
It's also notable that Ghostface Killah previously used the phrase "buck 50 stitch" in his song, Chinatown Wars, where he talks about about giving someone a cut that requires 150 stitches.

When to plant tomatoes
I just went to Lowes today and saw that they have tomato seedlings for sale already. Here in Riverside we normally plant tomatoes out in early March. With the unusually warm weather we've had this year, has anyone thought about putting their tomatoes in the ground earlier than normal?
In a normal year this is totally the wrong time to plant tomatoes. At best they will be successful with the unseasonal temps. Keep in mind we do still have 2 months of winter left & frost is still possible. Either way it will be a learning experience. I have been sowing seeds of things I wouldn't normally sow until March or April. The weather is permitting so why not? It feels like to me the chance for frost diminishes with each warm day passing.
I would wait until March when threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Lowes and others love to bring the veggies out early so people can buy them, plant them, watch them get killed with frost, then come back and buy some more! Great marketing idea!
I am in coastal So Cal and decided to plant a few tomato plants later this week. They will be in self watering containers on wheels that I can move around to follow the sun and protect them from wind and cold if need be. It could end up being too early but we never get frost here (knock on wood) and the temperatures have not been going lower than 48 at night. I will wait until April to plant in ground tomatoes.
It's an experiment, wish me luck.
I have Roma, Cherry, and Big Boy tomato plants all with ripe tomatoes and green ones getting ripe right now. I have one other plant that has green tomatoes, but they are beginning to split and may not do too well, but the Romas and Cherries are doing fine and are prolific. In the past I've had the best luck with cherry tomatoes in the winter, but this year the Romas are doing even better. I'm also in coast SoCal and do not have frost, although I have noticed that parts of my yard are warmer than others, now that I have a laser thermometer.
I grow tomatoes in large pots next to the house - my soil in the back yard is too poor to grow much of anything, and so most of my plants are in pots or wine barrels. I've had good luck with bananas and heliconias in the ground, however.
I have a bunch of tomatoes that survived the december cold snap and me being away for 6 weeks.
I'm still picking a few cherries here and there.
More importantly, they're flowering, and a couple have new green fruit on them already.
One of my long-term goals is to breed frost-tolerant tomatoes. I'm not sure if I got lucky or unlucky with this weather. Anyway, I definitely have seeds to go in the breeding pool.
Tomatoes are so easy to grow from seed, I don't bother with buying starts. But there's plenty to be said for getting a jump on tomato season.
If you go for some early starts, have a plan to protect them if a cold spell comes our way. Just the tiniest bit of protection can make a huge difference.
I would love to start some seeds. I have root riot cubes, but once something roots, those need to be planted out quickly, and last night the turbines came on in the citrus orchards in the valley below. That indicates near freezing temps. It's a tad warmer up here on our hill, but not that much, so I think I'm voting for March.

Google to sue 'rogue pharmacies'
ah, how times have changed!

This should make some old timers chuckle:
Google is taking legal action in an attempt to stem the tide of rogue pharmacies advertising on its sites.
The search engine filed a suit in a US federal court on Tuesday against advertisers which the search company believes have broken its rules, in an open-ended action which will expand as it catches more offenders.

That article reads like Google doesn't understand the difference between 'legal' and 'Google's guidelines'.
Rhetorical question, but why don't they just not allow them to advertise? Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I think the issue is that many of those 'rogue pharmacies' have figured out ways to skirt Google's advertising guidelines and automated measures - so they're suing for breach of contract likely to deter others from doing the same.
Of course if they can pass information up to the relevant governmental institutions I'm sure they wouldn't mind the feds doing some work for them, too. :) Civil litigation may lead to criminal prosecution, serving as a further deterrent, and advertising you're prosecuting civil issues will get the attention of the authorities.
I think the point is that Google does not want to be seen as aiding and abetting illegal activity, and this makes it clear which side of the fence they're on. It's one thing to say "they're doing it even though we disallow it and try to stop them but still collect their money in some circumstances where we're ignorant of what's going on", it's another entirely to say "we disallow it, and when we find out about it we sue them".

I think it shows that google is overwhelmed by fraudulent advertisers. Suing them sounds rather like a desperate measure. What will google do about advertisers from outside the US? It can't sue them all now can it?

Not pharma, but sometimes where Google doesn't act fast enough, some companies have decided to apply a scorched-earth policy by using a very large amount of DMCA requests.
This is especially true with several companies fighting the trade in fake goods. Check Google results for "Louboutin", where you can see that very many results have been deleted from every page of the SERP; many thousands of deleted results in all.

How does Google know who is rogue? Are they using customer feedback or conducting their own investigations and checking business licenses?

I read that and I have trouble wrapping my head around "Google guidelines" being law.
a) If you break the guidelines using their automated system the system needs fixing.
b) If you break the guidelines you can expect a ban but Google can't create criminal law out of thin air to serve its own purposes.
c) A judge is going to be harsh with Google for making it possible to do in the first place since Google controls the medium. "Fix your methods instead of wasting my time, I'm not the Google police".
This won't end well.

Its not criminal law, its a civil lawsuit - its quite acceptable in business that if you breach a contract and damage the other party in the process you may be sued.

Sure. And as noted, the easy fix is for Google to not do business with these people. It's Google's problem if their vetting system sucks. Quit tying up the legal system because you're unable to determine who you want to do business with.

For years Google has required anyone advertising pharmaceuticals to sign up to a "Pharmacy Checker" service; EVEN AFFLIATES!
The PharmacyChecker Verification Program was established in 2003 to help consumers find qualified online pharmacies and is the only independent evaluator of U.S. and non-U.S. online pharmacies.
In that era I was using Adwords to advertise a legitimate pharmacy, but $50 a month at that time kills a small business. So no more Adwords advertising for pharmacies. I was directly contacted by Google at the time saying I must sign up with one of these services or discontinue this type of ad.
So the Pharmacy Checker requirement gives Google substantial information about advertisers!
At the time I felt is was extortion! But it's in the contract somewhere; don't feel like wasting my time finding it!

Oh here's another good tidbit. I purchase from one of these online pharmacies and have for years. Many online pharmacies allowed a fax (copy) of a prescription. Google mandated that any pharmacy using Adwords to advertise, must require the purchaser provide an original prescription. Shortly after Google instituted this policy for pharmacies using Adwords, my pharmacy began requiring original prescriptions! And of course they do advertise on Adwords. This to me seems "almost" monopolistic. Oh well, we're all safer?
Off topic:
A "script" used to be a document that made sure you got the correct drug, not a flagrant control mechanism. The FDA has gone so far in this extreme it is helping drug makers protect their patents, which even the patent office does not do! In many cases a drug will not go "Over the counter" until the patent expires. Why is this?

How do you think drugs are invented? Spend some time on biotech company boards on Y! Finance and you will see why they need patent protection. It takes $ hundreds of millions of dollars to get a drug to the market, and most fail before that, along with the companies.
Now regarding Google this seems dumb to me. Pharmas are trying to see if Google accepts their ads, that's all. It's like NBC suing a strip club for trying to run an ad when NBC said that no strip club ads will be accepted. So, don't accept it.

Date — 18 January, 2010
The Portuguese Automatic, whose timeless elegance is matched by its technical perfection, makes its grand entrance as a classic horological beauty. With outstanding mechanical features, including the Pellaton winding system, seven-day power reserve and date display, it demonstrates that greatness is not only a question of diameter. Two new models, one in steel and one in red gold, enrich the elite society of these style icons.
The name of the Portuguese Automatic also comes to mind as a matter of course whenever the conversation turns to a globally accepted denomination of exquisite horological taste that is appreciated by connoisseurs. For this has not only been one of the most popular of all the Portuguese watches since 2004. It also conveys the story of the Portuguese, which, with its mythical roots, extends all the way back to the legendary Portuguese seafarers, authentically into the modern age.
The 50000-calibre family of large movements was developed specifically for the Portuguese Automatic to mark the change of the millennium – once again incorporating the Pellaton winding system after a long absence and a seven-day power reserve, originally intended for a limited collectors' series which immediately gained a large following. The new large-calibre movement from IWC was subsequently enhanced with a date display in order to make the Portuguese Automatic – introduced for the first time in 2004 – even better equipped for everyday use. Its dial is protected by a convex sapphire glass with an antireflective coating on both sides. With its moderate case diameter, it very soon found a place as a highly popular timepiece on both male and female wrists.
The Portuguese Automatic is the embodiment of an enduring style icon that remains untouched by passing trends
In spite of this technical modernization, the Portuguese Automatic continued to be the distinctive and elegant classic watch from a period which did not gainsay the influence of the pocket watch age, but had nevertheless finally bid farewell to the practice of wearing the personal timepiece on a chain. This can be appreciated from its narrow feuille hands, the Arabic numeral appliqués, the chapter ring in the railway-track style and, not least, the small seconds at "9 o'clock", opposite which the power reserve display at "3 o'clock" acts as a visual counterpart. The Portuguese Automatic represents equilibrium in its most attractive form and as such is the embodiment of an enduring style icon that remains untouched by passing trends. At the same time, as a reliable watch for everyday use, it is a symbol of the aspiration to technical perfection and the consistent implementation of horological advances over the last seventy years.
Any change or variation in this precious horological legacy will have been considered in the greatest detail. This also applies to the two newly launched model variants. The first novelty – already available since the autumn of 2009 – brings a trace of luxury to the previous steel models: the hands, numerals and hour indices above the silver-plated dial are plated with rose gold – as they once were in earlier steel variants such as the anniversary Portuguese of 1993. The previous steel models, including the variant with dark appliqués and blued hands, remain an integral part of the collection. As the second novelty, the Portuguese Automatic is being produced for the first time in 18 carat red gold, which exhibits a noticeably warmer hue than the previously used rose gold. The appliqués on the silver-plated dial are also in 18 carat red gold. The case diameter (42.3 millimetres) and height (14 millimetres) remain unchanged compared with the previous models.

I want to burn down everything we've begun

This journal is locked. Mostly for the reason to protect my ass from slander lawsuits and the like, ha.
I do have a few rules, not much:
• Please be at least 18+. I will bend the rules occasionally. This is partially because of some of the topics I write about (sex! booze! rock 'n roll!), and partially because I honestly have a hard time relating to people below the age of 18.
• You must be able to form coherent sentences.
• We have to have things in common! Not an insane amount, just a few things if that :]
Please comment if you do decide to add me, so I can add you back!

Paso Robles HotelsPaso Robles is a destination for people who enjoy the finer things in life – whether it's freshly pressed drizzles of olive oil, glasses of oaky wine, or the bubbles of natural hot spring spas. The consistently sunny Californian climate means the region's juicy clumps of grapes can be left to hang from their spirally vines for longer than in the revered wine making areas of Europe. This gives Paso Robles' wines distinctive character, and ensures each glass bursts with the full-bodied flavors of strawberry, raspberry, and chocolate. Things to seeTraditional – and somewhat restrictive - winemaking practices have been thrown out the window in Paso Robles, where a new breed of independent wine makers are rewriting the rulebook to make some of the most daring – and delicious - wines in California. You don't have to be a wine buff to appreciate the subtle notes and flavors present, as you fill your nose with smoky aromas, and swill ruby-colored wines around your mouth. While wineries like Eagle Castle and Rio Seco are perfect for an afternoon's tasting, the best way to get a true flavor for the area is to visit in August, when the annual Winemaker's Cookoff celebration takes place. Slurp delicious wines, chew on succulent beef burgers, and dance to live music until the early hours. If you wake up with a sore head from a little over indulgence, there's no better way to clear it than by heading to Cayucos State Beach. Grab your surfboard - or swim lazily in the Pacific's waves - before you wander through the peaceful town. There, you can eat in pretty wooden restaurants, which serve fresh shellfish, or follow your nose to cafés offering gooey cookies, and strong black coffees. Hotels in Paso RoblesPaso Robles offers a variety of homely accommodation options, designed to help guests make the most of the California sun. Dump your bags in your room before heading downstairs to enjoy lounging on flower-tangled patios, cooling off in oceanic indoor and outdoor pools, or settling down for a little al fresco dining. Don't worry if it's cold at night - hotels in Paso Robles can offer in-room fireplaces and soft chairs – perfect for finishing off a bottle before bed. The city's hotels are generally well furnished, offering free WiFi, Cable TV, and plenty of secure parking. Where to stayPaso Robles life orbits around downtown's City Park, which is bordered by trendy wine bars, and upscale restaurants. The park itself is a creative hub thanks to Studios on the Park, where you can watch artists dabbing and splashing away, and even pick up an original work if something catches your eye. Most of the city's hotels lie close to Highway 101 - in the north of the city - making it easy to drive out to the coast for the day, or to visit the Vina Robles Amphitheatre for an evening's entertainment. Great wine and live music go together like a jigsaw, and the Amphitheatre's scenic setting – with only the stars for a ceiling – provides the cherry on top. How to get to Paso RoblesPaso Robles sits conveniently between Los Angeles and San Francisco's Bay Area, and is relatively easy to get to from either of the cities. Drive over in a little more than 3 hours, or fly to San Luis Obispo County Regional - which is about 40 minutes' away from Paso Robles by car. The train is another option, as Amtrak's 'Coast Starlight' service stops in the city. Amtrak also offers bus connections from Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo as part of the 'Pacific Surfliner' service.

Thought I would share this article with everyone. It's a good read for those not familiar with Wells Fargo and "Coach K". Moreover, it is surprising how it seems JA has been copying Coach K's style and business practices... albeit w/ less personality (my opinion).
The article perfectly denotes many of the things BB&T is trying or has implemented. To me, it seems they are doing things very right (for business), something from which BBT can learn.
Read for yourself. A reason I believe it would be good for BBT to get bought by WFC. Not saying this would happen soon, just saying in a general sense from a business perspective.
No offense to you or any of your posts, but I do believe in my post I mentioned "my opinion" as did I close it with "read for yourself".
I never try to tell someone how to think or what their opinions should be (dare I bring up the analogy), I only found the article interesting.
I actually tried to shy away from out right saying I thought (opinion) that WFC is doing a better job (as Jim said "executing") this strategy than BB&T has.
I did say:
"The article perfectly denotes many of the things BB&T is trying or has implemented. To me, it seems they are doing things very right (for business), something from which BBT can learn."
What this means... they are doing the same things (several have backed this up). But that it seems WFC is doing things "very right" -- key words -- which is why I follow it up with "something from which BBT can learn". Moreover, they still need to work on the executing and delivery of the same things they are implementing.
I also provided everyone with the article to make their own judgements. Not everyone reads the same thing and comes to the same conclusion, I know this (hell I deal with it everyday) and that is why gave everyone the article.
I hate that you seemed to be bothered by my posting. I did refrain from making the point (as I am making it now) that you said in your retort that WFC was bought in 1998... and that BB&T has been doing those things since the "late 90's". My initial reaction was... how is 1998 not the "late 90's"? Are they not one in the same? (just my observation and after the discussion on the timeline it is irrelevant)
Again, after reading the article it surprised me how similar they were. Which lead me to the conclusion that (key words) at some point (key words) they would be a good fit for a merger/acquisition.
But I do applaud you for being thoughtful in your posts. /bow
Thanks for the background. Very interesting. It appears both institutions have a storied background with Marty and set the standard for a strong sales culture beginning in the early 1990s. That certainly supports my position that BB&T has at the very least been a co-leader in the banking industry in launching and promoting a sales strategy. The original post by Mutant might have suggested otherwise to the readers of this board. It's important to know that BB&T has been receiving recognition for it sales strategy for several years. Thanks for the clarification.
Actually Kelly visited Norwest(WFC)in early 90's and was introduced to Marty. Cohen system first implemented in a BB&T region in late '93. Norwest '94 annual report contains a discussion of "best practices." BB&T directly copied the Norwest-Cohen sales system, but instituted higher daily goals.
1. What's that have to do with who's been better for their owners over their terms in office?
2. That's too long a period to keep the attention of a day trader and too short a period to earn the attention of an investor!
3. Blow some more smoke baby. Warren Buffet knows where he puts his money!
Folks, it's like this, a magazine has to have articles written to sell subscriptions. Not one of us has ever failed to read a story and said what baloney this is. Sometimes these authors actually pull out years old pieces and kinda rewrite them, even Senators do so. Can you say Mike Barnicle and Joe Biden. As another famous predictor in here once said, I left here and took wads of business with me, and damned if BBandT didn't try to beg me back. I refused of course. Another fella in here said, hey Cisco, we both know better than that. So who is correct of the two authors. Well in this case Wilson BBT is correct, in fact I have found Wilson to never be in error in anything posted. AS for Cisco, well hell, BBandT Stil isn't sold, nor is it for sale currently. Credit to another error free poster for the Stil.
<<Well in this case Wilson BBT is correct, in fact I have found Wilson to never be in error in anything posted.>>
And Al Gore invented the Internet and Dan Quayle created the spell-checker. Enough already with your empty and pompous braggadocio.
BB&T does have a strong sales culture but that doesn't translate into effective cross-selling, which is more competitively available with passage of the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act permitting cross-selling of financial products. Only recently, after being overwhelmed with inefficiencies due to redundant messages from its various departments being sent to the wrong customers, did Allison finally invest in CRM technology. Data mining is now better but cross-sell ratios are poor compared to WFC. Until Allison stops considering IT a cost bucket and elevates his mentality to the tech savvy WFC, BB&T could face the same doom as WaMu.
Wells Fargo Q2 Profit Rises 12% on Loans, Deposits
"Chief Executive Dick Kovacevich said Wells Fargo benefited from selling more products to each client, or 'cross-selling.' He said Wells Fargo's average banking household now has 4.4 of the company's products, among the highest levels nationwide."
What Went Wrong at WaMu
By Shawn Tully. FORTUNE July 26, 2004
"WaMu suffers from two maddening problems of its own making. First, it didn't push hard enough to integrate its many acquisitions. As a result, it is saddled with a hodge-podge of outdated computer systems that cause delays and confusion in closing loans. The lack of integration has also prevented WaMu from reaping the savings it needs to make those acquisitions-which cost a total of $26 billion-pay off for shareholders."
In fact, JAA and Kelly King had implemented BB&T's new sales culture two years before Dick took over at Wells Fargo in 1998. Many analysts and media praised BB&T in the late 1990s for its strategy. Looks like maybe Dick took a lesson from John.

First, who cares who invented what? As an investor all I care about is how they execute. And WFC on that scale has beaten just about every bank in the nation, not limited to but including BBT.
But as for your statement, it is based on false information. Kovacevich has been CEO of his bank since 93, and was president and COO since the late 1980s. He "took over" at WFC when his company bought WFC and took the name, but he has been CEO of the institution, regardless of the name, for 11 years.
<<<<<In fact, JAA and Kelly King had implemented BB&T's new sales culture..>>>
Ha. Thats Laurel and Hardy don't you mean?
no I take that back. Laurel and Hardy could have done much better
Actually, the sales model was created by consultant Marty Cohen, which BB&T adapted long before Wells Fargo became interested in the cross-sale process.

[1] Accurately simulating gross primary productivity (GPP) in terrestrial ecosystem models is critical because errors in simulated GPP propagate through the model to introduce additional errors in simulated biomass and other fluxes. We evaluated simulated, daily average GPP from 26 models against estimated GPP at 39 eddy covariance flux tower sites across the United States and Canada. None of the models in this study match estimated GPP within observed uncertainty. On average, models overestimate GPP in winter, spring, and fall, and underestimate GPP in summer. Models overpredicted GPP under dry conditions and for temperatures below 0°C. Improvements in simulated soil moisture and ecosystem response to drought or humidity stress will improve simulated GPP under dry conditions. Adding a low-temperature response to shut down GPP for temperatures below 0°C will reduce the positive bias in winter, spring, and fall and improve simulated phenology. The negative bias in summer and poor overall performance resulted from mismatches between simulated and observed light use efficiency (LUE). Improving simulated GPP requires better leaf-to-canopy scaling and better values of model parameters that control the maximum potential GPP, such asεmax (LUE), Vcmax (unstressed Rubisco catalytic capacity) or Jmax (the maximum electron transport rate).

We all have old t-shirts hidden in the back of our closet. Why not upcycle those too-large or hole-filled fabric into a fun flower from Linda Peterson? Learn how to upcycle a t-shirt into a vintage rose embellishment. This project is so easy and can be created quickly.
This project doesn't require a sewing machine or even a needle and thread. Instead, use Aleene's Fabric Fusion Peel & Stick Tape to adhere various parts of your flower together. To create your own fun and playful hair accessory, you can also use glue to add a barrette to the back of your fabric flower.
