Disorder affecting Best Buy employees that have been overworked many days in a row. Symptoms include extreme fatigue, bad mood, and huge bags under the eyes. Also they can sometimes resemble zombies with the blank stare on their face and slow shuffling walk. While it can happen to any employee at any time, it is most common with the media department and those who work the closing shift multiple times per week.
Dude look at that guy, he is from media and has been closing every day for the last 4 days. He definatly has best buy burnout.

Comments: absouloutley a terrible bait in every way. no action, not durable, and terrible color. this was just a waste of money. go with a ZOOM lizard.
From: Bryce: Orange County, CA
Comments: lizards are sight baits and color is not a major concern unless your not using xmas tree, then it IS major. i've never seen a lizard that color, i only know it will outfish any other color i've ever used. same goes for the senco copy wave sells. black is comes in at a close 2nd. i know water color is in play with soft plastics but the xmas tree color seems to produce in every color of water but chocolate milk. then it's scent and vibration that take center stage. time of the year is of most importance as well---
From: Wes: Salinas, CA
Comments: Great lizard for a great price. Perfect size and perfect action. The sweet potatoe pie has more red than orange, if that helps. I give these lizards a 5 out of 5. Get them while they're cheap.

Just said it on Chelsea Lately... way to restate the obvious
Just said it on Chelsea Lately... way to restate the obvious
Who would get along with Evan? Think about. Who might give you more delight and joy (, laughs also) if you are around either of these two guy? I would also not gonna get along with Evan never ever. I would rather be alone than be around him. I doubt if he(Evan) has any friend. If anybody want to be around or with him, he/she soon will not want to be around him if he/she stay with him for a while. (I just saw Be Good Johnny Weir EP 8 and saw Evan's national 2010 short after interview that Evan complaning about his SP score. He stepped out his triple axel and still got the higher score than Johnny whose jumps were much more goreous and more fully rotated. Evan didn't even got deduction for his wrong edge flip jump at that SP. and how could he complaining about his score? (does he have any conscience?).-looking at that scene, I finally gave up the most of hopes I had about this person's personality. He is so disgusting to my eyes. His skating also so disgusting. let alone his ugly triple axel(his other jumps are not gorgeous either. seems like juniorish(?) jumps. (think about Yuna's jumps- How awful Evan's jumps are..:P) If I were Johnny, I would not get along with him either. Poor Johnny cause he had to deal with Evan almost all his life time. I saw the national 2010 press conference and fan fare of 2010 national and Evan kept teasing Johnny when Johnny talk somthing to the audience. He seemed to be eager to pick Johnny and take Johnny down and twist Johnny and tease Johnny.(Johnny never teased Evan at those situations when Evan talk something to audience) Might Evan be this successful if he were not American? or there were no talented Johnny Weir? I don't think so. What a delightful person Evan is.(let alone his delightful, artisticful, beautiful,full of calculation, beating spirit , pure skting. What an art his skatings are. How great his skatings and jumps are. What an embarassing and beautiful champion.) Anybody would so want to be around him and he/she would get so much joy, laughs and delights from him cause he think about other people SO much and cause he is that kind of guy who think about others first and put them first. He always doesn't care about winning. He is not all about winning. He is that kind of figure skater. He more cares about how much joy and feelings and beauty his skating give to people than his winning and scores. He care whether his skating transport people than his winning. that's what matters to him. whether his skating and cheating jumps and his aggressiveness and horrible artistic skating give people disgust or waste of time or not he doesn't care as long as he still wins and is wearing black costume always. I think if anybody gets along with Evan, He or she better hide that fact cause people think same feathers flock together.:p

Who is this poster? Who do you think you are, silverling?
You probablly don't know any of them. Do you? How can you 'personally' attack a certain skater to whom you are a complete stranger?
Your post make me very uncomfortable. Just pathetic.
About the main topic here. So what? I don't care.
But as it was Johnny who said so, I wonder why he had to tell such things to the public. What for?
Neither a Lysacek fan nor a Johnny fan... I have no problem with Evan's winning this time, though.
I don't think Johnny was robbed at olys. Just this. The more I read or hear about Johnny, the more tired I get.
Here is someone who likes Evan - and who actually knows him
"Did I also mention that Evan is the best training buddy ever? No matter how tired he is, he pushes himself to do his programs, so he can do it in any kind of situation. Watching him train is so motivating for me...I try to follow his example by doing programs with the intensity he has, but somehow my attempts just don't match his....Thank you Evan for always being there to give me a piece of advice and motivating me to do my best!"
These nice words were written by Mirai Nagasu.
Denis Ten also said in an interview how nice Evan was to him (Ten apparently lists Evan as his top role model), clapping for him when he'd land a quad in practice.
True. I've never heard much from Evan talking about Johnny. It was almost always Johnny talking about Evan. That's not a news. So what if they have never gotten along since the beginning? Who cares?! There is no Evan vs. Johnny any more.
I agree that Johnny was NOT robbed at the Olympics. Johnny'd better learn something from Evan. And I say it as a big non-Evan fan. (I was a Johnny fan and still appreciate Johnny's skating way, way over Evan's.)

silverling, your post makes me uncomfortable. Evan is one is the nicest, sweetest people I have ever seen. You'd think he'd be a big jerk about Plushenko, but he always responded with grace. As for him complaining about his score, I can see why he'd be disappointed that he didn't skate well. He didn't show off after winning the Olympics. I love Evan, not just for his beautiful skating, but he is a beautiful person - on the outside and the inside.
I can see why Johnny doesn't get along with him all the time, as they are each other's main rival. But it's clear they don't hate each other.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPCaQAmRigc (go to 2:10)
Johnny was also complimentary of Evan when he won the Olympics.
Why would these guys be expected to be friends and get along? They're completely different people. All they really have to do is be reasonably civil to one another.
Silverling, unless you know Evan personally, I don't know why you're even talking.
What a disturbing, disgusting, nasty, sickening post! I love both Evan and Johnny, although I like Johnny's skating better.
Do you happen to know Evan personally? If you do, then you sure don't deserve to know him. I have seen lots of nasty posts about Evan here at GS before, but this one is by far the nastiest.
What did Evan ever do to you?
About the 2010 Nationals thing, Evan is not the only skater who has ever expressed dissappointment when he/she did not skate well.
Johnny may not get along with Evan, but he's certainly not nasty towards him. Maybe you should take a lesson or two from your idol Johnny about being gracious to others, even if you don't like them.
Your post was beyond nasty, it was downright hateful. :frown2:

I honestly find Evan nice. It could be an act, but he didn't even say ANYTHING bad about Plushenko, when Plushenko was going around bad-mouthing him and slandering every inch of his being to anyone who would listen!
I've never been interested in Evan or Evan's skating, but I don't really understand all the Evan bashing. The guy has done nothing wrong. He plays by the rules, never slanders his opponents and strikes me as a hardworking, honest kind of guy. I see nothing wrong with that. If you have criticism for his skating, go ahead, but I don't get why people become personal.
lol After trying to read the first sentence, i just made my computer read the rest to me, and it's even more hilarious than i thought i'd be. No doubt a bitter Plushenko fan. No Plushenko didn't win. lol
I saw the Chelsea interview too, on youtube. We all know Johnny's "story" by now, but Chelsea really blew his cover. I was shocked she used the G word, and he didn't say anything, just laughed.
Johnny is a sweetheart, and so is Evan. Love them both.

Good news! I'm not overly crazy about the current art/story but it will be cool to be able to get a MOTU comic on a monthly basis again.
Cool, although I'd like them to move on from these character designs as I don't like them. Despara's not bad, and Teela's costumes are nice to look, but I'd rather go with Classics designs than that He-Man or MAA.
Be sure to read Book of Evil Part 2: The Bells of Doom, only in the He-Man.org Fan Fic & Media forums!

Lame news...don't like the new designs... I want comics with the old design...
Judging by that article, I wonder if they're going to be mixing elements of the bios and the proposed MYP series into this.

I'd prefer a more traditional design but anything new in MOTU is good.
Cool news, I'm ok with this, I hope the story is fleshed out a little bit. I've been looking at this whole thing as a AU tale and what not. I'm dying to know how they are going to handle Adora's story.

I know Ed Benes has been taking the lion's share of the thread, but the Dodsons are going to do a cover too! Maybe we might get a nice pic of the MOTU women or something.
Or that she's started dying her hair red now. Either way, modern day MOTU fans today are aware that Teela has two known hair colors. I wouldn't mind if the blonde look was treated like Spider-Man's black costume or the Gray Hulk and made the occasional reappearance.

Great news. Not sure I'm going to like the direction these comic are in. Looking at the cover art. I'm not pleased. Hordak is a woman? And with sexy body armor. yuck. with a face like that its wrong. So is betraying any woman in scantily clad armor. Also I see Teela has double D's now. Why? what is wrong with size C's in a comic? I find it annoying & sexiest when its done just to have it.

It's Despara, not Hordak...but if it were I guess he'd be Drag-stor.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Francona and team officials were still negotiating a contract Saturday night. The report indicated the new manager would get a long-term deal that might be for as many as four years.
Francona led the Boston Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007. He was let go last year after a September collapse in which the Red Sox went 7-20 down the stretch to miss out on a playoff spot.
He spent this season working as an analyst for ESPN.
Francona will replace Manny Acta, who was fired in September. Sandy Alomar Jr. managed the team in the interim to finish the season. He was the only other known candidate for the job.
Acta was ousted just before finishing his third season with the Indians. He compiled a 214-266 record in Cleveland, including a 65-91 mark this year.
Francona, 53, also managed the Philadelphia Phillies (1997-2000) and was with the Red Sox for eight seasons. His overall managerial record is 1,029-915.
The Red Sox didn't get the desired results by replacing Francona, as his successor, Bobby Valentine, was fired this week after one season.
One of Francona's 10 seasons as a major league player was spent in Cleveland, as he played there in 1988. He also spent time in the Indians' front office after he was fired in Philadelphia.

Also, I will get flamed for this but I am undecided whether I will start with frozen dough, or fresh dough (considering I have zero dough experience).
Coming out of the gate with a new location you want to give people your best. It sounds like you must already be using frozen at your shopping center restaurant. If your sales/feedback of that pizza are good then you may be in an area where people don't know any better.Try the search function here...Norma and Peter were recently experimenting with commercial frozen dough balls.edit: sorry, just now saw that you are new to selling pizza.I think starting out with frozen will depend on how good/bad your competion is, sorta. Personally, no way would I start my baby out like that.
I totally understand why everyone will (and should) say make you own dough. At least for start to make things run smooth, I figured frozen is the way to go. Besides that, I am not looking to pay someone 12 an hour to make dough out of the gate.
Oh O.K., my bad.....and here I thought you had said " I am undecided on whether...".Make it yourself then!
My quick, early morning opinions (I'm an independent owner):You have to make dough. That's an important part of your added value.The other answers all fall under the "it depends" heading. There are just too many variables in market size, competitive environment, demographics, vendors, etc., to give universal answers.Your market will determine your food costs, since it depends on your selling price. My food costs are under 20% because I'm a high price/medium volume operation. My margins are astronomical compared to standard U.S. pizza businesses. I would say most U.S. independent delcos (delivery carryout) run about 25% food costs. You can't compete against any chains, so you have to be smart about market positioning because they'll kill you if you try to compete on price. You won't have much bargaining power in purchasing, so you'll have to be a sharp buyer.If you're catering to college kids, then other operators have probably already turned it into a cut throat, low-ball market. If there is any way to not target the college kids, I would do that. The great thing about the U.S. market is that people will buy bad food again and again, if it's cheap and they get a big portion. I never get a second chance with customers.Based on the limited info, the best advice I can offer is very general -- don't think that you're going into the the pizza business, you're going into the marketing business.Bad marketing + bad food = you're dead.Bad marketing + good to world-class pizza = you're dead.Good marketing + bad food = success.Great marketing + bad food = more success.Good marketing + good food = about the same success.Great marketing + good food = a lot of success.
Bad marketing + bad food = you're dead.Bad marketing + good to world-class pizza = you're dead.Good marketing + bad food = success.Great marketing + bad food = more success.Good marketing + good food = about the same success.Great marketing + good food = a lot of success.
Up to 25% EBT is not unusual. Don't tell too many people though. It's a secret...
Bad marketing + good to world-class pizza = you're dead.
This has not been my experience whatsoever. For the fledgling pizzerias I've consulted with, they've had pretty much zero marketing budgets, and, within a few months, they're generally selling out of dough. Truly great pizza sells itself.
Aren't zero marketing and bad marketing two different things?Peter

Tuesday, August 13, 2013
A seven member citizens committee, appointed by Mount Pleasant Mayor Billy Swails announced its recommendations concerning commercial signage within the town last week.
The effort came about because many businessowners whose companies are tucked away in shopping centers felt they had to resort to sandwich board type signs on the frontage roads to attract patrons. Owners said that otherwise people might know they existed. Traditionally, anchor tenants get the use of larger signs along the roadways.
In addition, according to the committee chairman Roy Neal, many business owners were not using their signage to full capacity.
Working with the planning staff, the committee organized a presentation to present to the planning committee of town council who will then make a recommendation to the full town council.
Michael Robertson of the planning staff and director of planing Christianne Farrel worked with the committee to outline the recommendations.
The proposed new ordinance will cover all types of signs.
Digital signs
There are no recommended changes to the existing ordinance which states:
"Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, electronic digital or analog signs of any size or location, in which the display or advertising material may change periodically, are prohibited."
Wayfinding signs (Also known as directional signs)
• Three types
Roadside Wayfinding (like interstate signs):
Recommended not to pursue at this time
Shopping Center/Retail Center Wayfinding:
-Comprehensive Development Wayfinding
• Number – Two for shopping center/office parks/mixed use developments over 40,000 sq.ft. (same as the current ordinance). One for a small retail center
• Size – maximum 20 square feet as opposed to 30 sq.ft. allowed now
• No illumination
• Design - high level of design, uniform background and letter color (will not regulate content)
• Material - must meet current sign ordinance requirements which states:
• Visibility – Maintain visibility
• Readerboard - no readerboard allowed - would not apply to chalk or dry erase boards
• Permit - required
• Location - internal to site, not allowed at street entrance
Urban corridor wayfinding signs
• Pilot program - limit to Coleman Boulevard and Ben Sawyer Boulevard
• Location – Intersections/centers with businesses along side streets not adjacent to boulevard
• Illumination - none
• Size - maximum 20 sq. ft.
• Design – developed, installed, maintained by town
A-Frame signs
• Material - No plastic material
• Readerboard – No changeable letter signs, would not apply to chalk or dry erase boards
(Enforce current regulations - allowed in the urban corridor overlay district and in shopping centers 10 feet from the primary building entrance).
• Illumination - no illumination
• Size - may not exceed four feet in height or three feet in width
• Design - high level of design (traditional A-frame signs only - no shapes - they don't have to look alike but odd shapes, characters or swinging ability not allowed
• Number - one per business
Taller building signs
Anchor Tenant v. Small Tenants
• First Floor Tenant Band — Treat as other shopping center/retail tenants in centers
• Anchor Tenant — Allow signs in sign band near top of building or projecting wall signs. No signs for "middle tenants".
• No signs allowed in the middle of the building
Coprate symbols and signature elements
• Incorporate back into sign ordinance and treat as sign, equitable to all businesses — local and national
• No statuette out in front any longer but can use image on sign
Signs near overpasses
• No Changes To Current Ordinance
Non-conforoming signs
•No changes to current ordinance
• The committee agreed with staff that administrators of the town would need to discuss enforcement and identity of all non-conforming signs.
The committee was made of up Chairman Roy Neal, Walter Brown Jr., Sallie Pritchard, David Seay, Justin Malone, Tim Ascue and Paul Heinauer.
Once approved, in addition to the text of the ordinance, photos and illustrations will be available for visual representation purposes.

Nearly 2 million students could be a step closer to getting credit for their work in free, online classes, under an agreement announced Tuesday.
Mountain View-based Coursera -- an online platform for about 200 classes from 34 universities such as Princeton, Duke and Stanford -- said the American Council on Education would begin evaluating about five Coursera classes initially for possible credit recommendations, and the number could grow. It would still be up to individual universities whether to grant credit to students who complete such classes, but a stamp of approval from ACE would likely go a long way toward persuading at least some U.S. institutions to do so.
ACE, which has a long history of evaluating various kinds of courses on behalf of universities, said the credit evaluation would be part of a broader effort financed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to study so-called "Massive Online Open Courses" -- MOOCs -- and "answer questions about the disruptive potential of this new and innovative approach to higher education."
To meet ACE requirements and ensure credit-seeking students are who they say they are, Coursera also said it would begin offering identity-verified and proctored online exams using webcams. And while taking the classes is free, students will also have to pay a yet-to-be-determined "modest fee" to qualify for the credit recommendation.
Coursera, founded by two Stanford University professors, is one of several high-profile efforts in which consortia of leading universities are making available online some of their best and most popular teaching. But only a small percentage of students who sign up for such classes are completing the coursework.
That's partly because many students just want to learn and aren't pursuing a degree or credential. But for those who do, there have been virtually no avenues for getting transferable credit from the MOOC courses. So far, that's limited any potential for the MOOC movement to make higher education credentials more accessible and affordable.

Is Elene Gedevanishvili in it this year? She has won bronze twice, I think.
Is Elene Gedevanishvili in it this year? She has won bronze twice, I think.
I also hope Javier wins, but Plushenko will make it extremely competitive. Javier will need his quads and perform a strong SP to have a shot. Kostner will likely win gold in ladies, considering that Korpi just has so many problems in the free. Pairs will be great to see if S/S are there, and P/B will likely win the dance as long as they get their levels.
Adelina to have two clean skates.
Javi to win
S/S to skate as clean as they can.
P/B to win
one of my checklist already came true
now I hope Liza wins gold and Zhenya defends his title in Euros
I hope Adelina will skate her best (but this is rather an impossible thing, considering that it will be her debut at Euros) and at least earn a medal... I think that the Gold will be a battle between Caro and Kiira, Yes, just because of the PCS: Liza is the one with the best jumps but she usually doesn't receive high PCS (I frankly don't understand why...), Adelina has better PCS but the nerves... Caro and Kiira are to only ones Who have both consistency and high PCS, so it will be a fight between them unless one of them bombs...
Kiira Korpi isnt really known as good FS, she bombs it, she was less than appoint ahead from Liza at GPF who had a bad SP, tuk was held down by PCS but had higher TES
hopefully winning Nationals will boost her drive and PCS, Adelina will probably fall 2 times at Euros and wont medal, depending on how Korpii will do too
I'd agree that Liza should be getting higher marks for IN and P/E than she currently does, but it's obvious her mediocore skating skills are holding her back. The other contenders she has here, like Caro, Kiira, Adelina and Elene, are easily in another league than her when it comes to SS. And she's slow too... if she skates after Caro f.e. that will just be even more obvious. I think it's right that she's the one with the lowest PCS out of this group (even if she has the strongest jumps technically).Originally Posted by FSGMT
The mediocre skating skills is absolutely not true and she is a very quick skater actually. Have you not seen both her long and short programs this year? Her interpretation is superior to Sotnikova's this year especially, definitely has an awareness of the program, she performs the heck out of her programs even if they are not that great. And her skating skills are completely normal. Liza has good transitions in her programs this year, especially coming out of the jumps. The only thing that the judges could be picky about is the crappy choreography. In all other aspects, she is as good as the rest. That is why so many people on this forum don't get why she is getting lowballed on pcs. Hopefully, with a national title the judges will respect her more and give her the pcs she deserves.
And don't tell me that the judges know best and Liza's pcs are really that bad. Look at Suzuki, who has been getting low pcs and was mistreated by the judges both in the past and present.
But ss is only compenent. That is my whole point. Fine, give her a few tenths lower is ss but everything else is "extraordinary" except for ch and should be given a few tenths higher than maybe Sotnikova.
This is how I rate her:
Extraordinary: in, pe, tr
Normal: ss
Needs improvement: ch
But that is not how the judges rate her against others.
DianaSelene, I'm not disagreeing that Liza should be getting higher marks in the artistic department. Her PCS at international competitions really have been too low. But that doesn't change that her SS are just mediocre. I've seen both her programms more than once and her SS look better than last year - but they're still nothing more than average. Why do you think she's fast? Have you seen her live...? She has a generally powerful way of moving, but that's more her arms or her expression then her feet.
The thing is, for me, Liza is one of those skaters who's marks should be varying quite much. The difference between her SS and IN & PE is pretty hugh for me. But we never see this kind of differences in the PCS anyway. That's a generally annoying thing...

Known for its unhurried pace of life, glorious sunshine and idyllic beaches, the Albanian Riviera offers a glimpse of the unspoiled Mediterranean at its best. Devoid of large-scale tourist development, the Albanian Riviera has recently received a boost from the World Bank who has overhauled the major road that links the entire shoreline which is of course only good news for visitors looking to get away from the commercialized experience that other beaches around the Mediterranean now tend to offer. Here are the 5 best beaches in the country.

Back from DL, Martinez returns to Bronx roots
Texas righty will have family on hand for second of four with Yanks
Nick Martinez remembers making the 10-minute trips from his school to Yankee Stadium just a few years ago.
From 2009-11, Martinez played at Fordham University, and in his free time, he enjoyed seeing the Yankees in action.
Now a starting pitcher for the Rangers, Martinez will arrive at the Stadium for Tuesday night's game not to watch, but to pitch.
Martinez was activated Tuesday from the 15-day disabled list, feeling 100 percent after fighting discomfort in his left side, and he's excited for his Yankee Stadium debut.
"I have my family here, all of my college buddies, a few coaches," Martinez said on Monday. "It's going to be special."
Martinez's last start came on July 1 in Baltimore, where the right-hander gave up eight runs (six earned) on seven hits in five innings.
"I have to be more efficient to go deeper in the games," Martinez said. "I still have to attack hitters, locate my fastball and keep hitters off balance."
Chase Whitley will get the ball for the Yankees and will be the ninth rookie to start against the Rangers this season.
The other eight rookies went a combined 5-1 with a 3.88 ERA in nine starts; the Rangers are 2-7 when facing a rookie pitcher.
Like the Rangers this season, the Yankees have experienced their fair share of injuries over the past two years, and the pitching staff is no exception.
Four of the five starters from New York's Opening Day rotation are on the disabled list, but the group has still found a way to win; the Yankees are in second place in the American League East.
"It's an opportunity to prove yourself," manager Joe Girardi said. "I think you just have the attitude that no matter what happens, we're going to press on and we're out there to win games and that's what we're going to do. We're not going to make excuses, because I would say no one's going to feel sorry for you."
Rangers: Washington revisits early years
On Monday, manager Ron Washington recalled 2007 and '08, when the Rangers were in a rebuilding mode and enduring the only two losing seasons he has experienced as a manager.
"More than anything, this gives guys the opportunity to show they can play on a Major League club," Washington said. "We're working extra to get them acclimated. We're back in the mode of 2007-08, trying to put something together.
"We just have a lot of inexperience, and there are pains that come from inexperience. We're not making excuses; we're just trying to get them to play baseball and step up. To be successful, it takes time. A lot of them are just trying to survive, and that makes it difficult. Something always comes into play."
Yankees: Teixeira to miss a few days
Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira is expected to miss three or four days due to a mild strain of his lower left lat. The Yankees are hopeful the injury won't force Teixeira to the disabled list.
Teixeira revealed on Monday that he started feeling spams up and down his back during the Yankees' series in Oakland from June 13-15, and he has received various treatments since. Over the past few days, the pain became too difficult to manage, so after Sunday's 3-2 win over the Reds, Teixeira underwent an MRI exam that revealed the injury.
Teixeira was scheduled to receive a platelet-rich plasma shot on Monday from Yankees team physician Christopher Ahmad.
"You really don't know exactly how it's going to respond," Teixeira said. "So that's why we say we'll re-evaluate in three to four days, and hopefully the back responds really well to the PRP. If that happens, then hopefully I'll be back soon. If not, it might take a few more days after that."
Worth noting
• Roster room for Martinez was made on Tuesday when the Rangers placed catcher Giovany Soto on the 15-day disabled list with a groin strain.
• Alex Rios, still sidelined with a sprained right ankle, is not expected to play on Tuesday, even if he says he is ready to go. Washington likes to give players an extra day of recovery from a minor injury once they are ready.
• Whitley's start on Tuesday will mark the 47th time this season the Yankees will have used a rookie starting pitcher. The next-closest team is Seattle with 23.
