At Etihad Airways, customer care assumes a new significance At the core of our endeavor to maintain a lasting relationship with our customers is our firm belief that when people fly with us, they fly as our guests and not as passengers. All our services on the ground and on board are guided by our unique, 'guest-first' philosophy.We seek to establish a relationship with you through all stages of your journey with us, right from planning and booking your travel to reaching you to your destination and taking action on your feedback, if any. Our Guest Affairs team is always at your service, ensuring that you get a quick, satisfactory response to your queries, suggestions and complaints.
Etihad travel classes Our guest-centric approach to service starts from the classification of our service areas: our First, Business and Economy Classes break away from the traditional class system in the airline industry. You can expect premium service from us, irrespective of the class you are travelling in. Etihad people We realise that our aim of achieving a truly 21st-century, guest-oriented airline depends on our people. We recruit the best talent in the industry, individuals who are committed to providing the highest service to our guests. In keeping with our plans to go global, we also strive for a multiracial, multilingual and multi-cultural family of employees. The Etihad family now includes individuals from different nationalities, speaking several languages and sensitive to cultural differences. Each member of our crew fully understands the Etihad way of hospitality and makes every effort to make your journey comfortable. Etihad services Booking Lowest class availabilityThe class of travel available at the time of reservation for the selected routing will be displayed on the Etihad website.No-shows"No-shows" are guests who book seats on a flight but fail to present themselves for their flight. If you realise that you will not be able to take the flight you have reserved, kindly let us know as soon as possible so that we can offer the seat to another guest who would otherwise be unable to travel. OverbookingGiven the fact that there are "no-shows" on almost every flight, Etihad Airways, like all international carriers, may overbook services in order to match demand with supply. While we do our best to match the number of available seats to the number of guests that we expect will appear for the flight, on rare occasions we may have a situation where a guest with a confirmed ticket is denied boarding even when they have checked in at the recommended time. When this occurs we will: Endeavour to ensure that families with children, expectant mothers, elderly or infirm guests or those in transit from an earlier destination point or with onward connecting flights are not denied boarding. Offer guests denied boarding a seat on the next available flight (on Etihad where possible, with another carrier where not). Offer guests ground transport, meals and accommodation for the duration of their enforced delay. Offer denied boarding compensation in accordance with our defined policy and the applicable laws and regulations. Compensation levels vary according to the sector in question. Please ask Etihad staff for more details. Change to operating carrierOn reaching the airport if you find that there is a change to the operating carrier and you do not wish to fly with this carrier, we offer you the following options: We will keep you updated on the status of your flight right up to the time it departs. We will give you a refund. Delays and cancellationsWhile we strive to ensure that our flights are on schedule, we offer the following if your flight is delayed or cancelled for any reason: We will keep you updated on the status of your flight right up to the time it departs. If we are unable to operate a flight according to schedule, we will carry you on another flight on the same route that has a seat available, without charging you extra for it. If for some reason your Etihad flight fails to stop at your stopover station or destination, we will carry you to your destination either on another Etihad flight or on another airline, or by an alternative means that is agreeable to you (e.g. by road or by rail). We will not charge you extra for this. If your flight schedule is changed to a time unacceptable to you and we are unable to offer an alternative that suits your needs, you can claim a refund of the unused portion of your ticket. Check-inOur concern for your comfort begins from the moment you step into the airport, if not before. So we try and ensure that the check-in procedure at the airport is as speedy and as pleasant as possible. To begin with, we have dedicated check-in counters all classes at all our destinations. Etihad's concern for special needsWhilst we will do our best to ensure quick a check-in, we request that you arrive at the airport at the recommended check-in time, which is two hours prior to departure for Economy Class Guests and one hour for First and Business Class Guests.To avoid any last-minute rush and to help us ensure that we reach you to your destination on time, please arrive at the departure gate ahead of the boarding time specified at check-in.Our concept of personalised service extends to the special needs of our guests as well. With adequate notice, we offer meet-and-assist services to unaccompanied minors and the hearing/visually impaired. Mothers travelling with more than one infant must arrange for a family/friend escort to assist with the second infant.For medical cases, we offer wheelchairs and oxygen and stretchers.We offer bassinets to make your baby travel in comfort, though these facilities vary according to aircraft type. Please note that bassinet facilities are limited in number, and must be booked at time of reservation on a "first come, first served" basis. We also have baby changing facilities on all our flights. Infant meals can also be provided on board if you make a request at the time of reservation.We also have a range of special meals designed to cater to your dietary or religious needs – these too must be booked at the time of reservation.

The urinary tract refers to the connected system of organs through which urine flows on its way out of the body. This includes the two kidneys, the two ureters (tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder), the bladder, and the urethra (the tube from the bladder through which urine leaves the body). A urinary tract infection can affect any or all of these structures, although a kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is generally discussed as a separate condition.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A urinary tract infection usually occurs when bacteria on the skin or in the genital or rectal area enter the urinary tract via the urethra. If conditions are right, these bacteria can multiply within the urethra and bladder, causing infection. Sometimes infections begin during a medical procedure that requires placement of a catheter, a thin flexible tube that is inserted through the urethra and into the bladder, to drain urine. Some organisms can "climb" up the catheter into the bladder, resulting in a urinary tract infection. Sexual intercourse is another common trigger of urinary tract infections.
Many different kinds of bacteria can cause urinary tract infections, including:
Viruses can cause urinary tract infections in children.
On rare occasions, fungi may cause urinary tract infections.
Twenty percent of all women will have a UTI at some point in their lives. Men, throughout most of their adult lives, have a very low rate of urinary tract infections. Over the age of 50, however, their rate of infection reaches approximately that of women because prostate enlargement predisposes men to infection. This is due to incomplete emptying of the bladder that results in urine sitting in the bladder and bacteria growing. Researchers estimate that about 8 to 10 million visits to the doctor each year are for diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract infections.

Stupid 1 minute edit rule!
That's basically not needed, because they are embeeded. Same for nvidia installers and every other self extracting package based on makeself. You could only use it to verify that ati replaced the installer later than official release, that was rarely done when there have been missing control files and such things.
[QUOTE=Kano;155380]That's basically not needed, because they are embeeded. Same for nvidia installers and every other self extracting package based on makeself.
Not true. While it may be good for file/download integrity checking, it does nothing for detecting tampering/haxoring. The bad guy could change the whole package to whatever he wanted, and changed the embedded checksum.
Now, i'm not so paranoid that I think anyone would ever attempt such a complicated man in the middle attack... none the less, its good to have an external checksum.
I have got a script to repackage ati installers I can even change the compression. But it is very unlikely that somebody exchanges the file on the ati server.
ohoh. huh my md5 & sha1 doesn't match what you posted :O
thanks, imma redownload..
hmm the package must have been updated..?? I get something different. Can someone check again:
Strange, I redownloaded the file and now I get different results.

Derek jeans These jeans fit my son very good. He wears a 32 waist and 36 inseam. He is 6'1" and 175 lbs, with really long legs. This fit works great for him. September 16, 2014
good fit for guys who workout I'm 5ft 8in tall 200lbs its been i while since i've bought "nice" clothes . i went to the buckle and had someone help me i tried on like twenty jeans color cuts and sizes. I bought three pairs of dereks in three different colors and i'm goin to buy more. i'm not tall i'm a union bricklayer i work hard and i lift weights so i can't put my legs into some of these little girl jeans that everyone sells and i'm not into wannabe gangster jeans but i wanted to look nice and stylish when i'm not covered in dirt and cement so i've found these to fit and they got like 2 % spandex so even tho they are a nice fit on my legs and butt they stretch alot when i bend and move and feel comfortable, also they feel like they're made well and will hold up well in the wash. But i haven't washed them yet so i can't attest to how much they shrink in the first washing. The jeans are priced okay look good and most importantly fit good and stretch. so if your like me and don't have little wimpy legs and have had problems in other stores looking for a nice pair of denim to fit your thighs and butt and don't like having to wear big baggy jeans then go try a pair of these. but i did have to get mine one size bigger in the waist for alittle extra room but i just wear a belt. They also look good with the Roar shirts i bought too.But they were alittle long i wore a pare today and i was walking on them but if your alittle taller you'll prolly be alright. June 10, 2013
Not the best... I love the look and style of these jeans... However, the "relaxed" fit should be changed to BAGGY!Does not fit at all true to size. I put them on, and they fall straight down. Beig relaxed should not mean that they fall off of you. November 10, 2012

Harrisburg, PA has both a rich history and a thriving present economy, and in 2010, the city received a distinction from Forbes as the second-best place to raise a family. With an abundance of cultural monuments and activities, including the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts, the Pennsylvania Farm Show, as well as countless jazz festivals and Top-40 nightclubs, if you are renting an apartment in Harrisburg you will find that there is never a shortage of things to do.
Harrisburg was first established as a Pennsylvania borough in 1791 and later named the state capital in 1812.
Today, Harrisburg's population surpasses 50,000, and the city's wide variety of activities will cater to people with all kinds of interests.
Nature lovers will enjoy hiking the Appalachian Trail, which is approximately 40 minutes northwest of Harrisburg, and families will enjoy exploring the dog friendly trails and boardwalks at Wildwood Park, located just minutes outside of downtown Harrisburg.
If you're looking to get into the arts and culture scene, The Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts is the first center of its kind that incorporates education, science, and the performing arts all under one facility. For those interested in the agricultural world, check out the Pennsylvania Farm Show, the largest agricultural exhibition in the nation located right here in Harrisburg.
Harrisburg apartment-renters also have access to healthy food choices thanks to the three farmers markets located in the greater Harrisburg area which feature locally grown produce. If you have a sweet tooth, the Hershey Museum is a short drive away and a great place to indulge in a treat while learning about one of Pennsylvania's historic legacies.

The 3M™ Cartridge Roll 341D provides access to small, hard-to-reach spaces for sanding and finishing. As the outermost abrasive layer wears down, the cloth backing frays to expose fresh abrasive layers for continued cutting action. The cartridge has a closed coat of aluminum oxide abrasive secured with a heat-resistant resin bond. The cartridge roll fits onto a cartridge roll mandrel (sold separately) and is ideal for accessing small, hard to reach spaces. The 341D cartridge roll is used in metalworking applications.
Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more quickly. Due to its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, it is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
Heat-resistant resin is a sturdy binding agent that adheres the abrasive to the backing and maintains the stability of the bond even in conditions of high heat or pressure.
Cartridge rolls fit onto a compatible mandrel (sold separately) that attaches to a rotary tool such as a die grinder or drill. Together, the mandrel and cartridge roll enable the user to grind or finish hard-to-reach areas of a workpiece. To ensure correct fit, the center hole diameter of the cartridge roll must be equal the diameter of the mandrel pilot inserted into the cartridge roll.
For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and technology to improving our customers' lives and supporting their business goals. Today the company, from its headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota, serves industrial and commercial customers and consumers in nearly 200 countries. Abrasive Systems products, including a complete line of coated abrasives, microfinishing and microreplicated abrasives, and hardware accessories, provide the finishing touch for almost any surface conditioning application. The 3M brand, across thousands of products, represents consistency, superior quality, and value.
How can we improve our Product Description?
3M packages and labels its industrial/commercial products for purchase and use by industrial, professional, and commercial customers. Unless specifically stated on the product package or applicable product literature, 3M industrial products are not packaged, labeled, or intended for sale to individual consumers (ie., the general public).

I run the HDS 7 in my RZR. Great size, easy to see in hight sun light. Easy to use. I log all my trails and capture all the cool points. If it is in your budget.... "No min. $$$ for the right stuff". This is a must have. I also use mine on my boat and brought a seperat mount and cable for arount $50 bucks. It works great on the water too.. In the dirt it is great not to have a touch screen. It would get all scratched up. I mounted mine on the right side off dash, behind steering wheel. Perfect for me "the driver"; however passanger can't see it very well.

Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) naturally fermented | 100 mg | * |
A powerful antioxidant that supports healthy heart function and cellular energy production.*
What is CoQ10?
CoQ10 also functions as a powerful antioxidant.* Antioxidants help protect cells from free radical damage. Free radicals are harmful compounds generated during normal body processes, such as breathing and digestion, but also upon exposure to environmental influences such as UV sunlight and smoke. Free radicals attack healthy cells, damaging their membranes, DNA and other components, compromising normal cell function.
While the body produces CoQ10 on its own, levels decline over time, with a steady decrease beginning after age 30. Factors such as aging, genetics, and cholesterol-lowering statins can lead to a CoQ10 deficiency.
How does CoQ10 support health?
Why choose Vitacost CoQ10?

HTML5 video, please?
Phoronix: A Video To Show Off X.Org's Multi-Touch Support
Back in June we shared a nifty video that was produced by the French-based ENAC Interactive Computing Lab that showed off some multi-touch capabilities on Linux. At that time and in the video they were using the Linux kernel and then recognizing gestures from input events and then sending specialized commands over D-Bus straight into Compiz...
HTML5 video, please?
Ask Google to move to html5 video/audio tags. Do not blame Michael.
So this means this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDadhfHzoLY can be done on linux? Cuz all multitouch video's I've seen with Qt and KDE tech are on Win 7 and I'd love to see it on linux ;-)
Just one word...
especially it annoys me if he uploads his own videos to youtube -.-
In this case it is not *his* video, but youtube is crap. anyway...
Use Google Chrome and install this Chrome extension
it makes all youtube videos to html5.

Announcing FamilyTreeCircles Locations
Unless you are brand new to FamilyTreeCircles, you should recall that a few weeks ago we launched the phase 1 of the new FamilyTreeCircles Assist! program.
Phase 1 was geared toward getting members to volunteer to assist other researchers in their physical location, helping with local activities like cemetery visits or local document requests. Without volunteers, the program would be useless, of course!
The response far exceeded my expectations and as of today, we've got hundreds of locations volunteered for. And that number is growing every day.
Of course, we need several thousand to get good coverage, but I'm encouraged by the response. I'm counting on members like you to adopt a location.
And today, I'm pleased to announce we've launched major new functionality that brings along with it the other half of the Assist! program, requesting assistance.
FamilyTreeCircles Locations
The new feature is called FamilyTreeCircles Locations, which is a massive database of just about every location in the world. In this section of the website, you can drill through continents, countries, and states down to counties, cities, and towns -- even cemeteries!
At any location, you can either volunteer to assist with that location or you can request assistance. In each location, with help from volunteers, we will also build a rich resource and repository of genealogy information.
See it here: FamilyTreeCircles Locations
As a volunteer, you may choose to assist someone with a local lookup or photography, or help in editing the information on the page for that location. Further, as we build on this functionality, it will allow you to better filter the content on FamilyTreeCircles related to your interests.
As a requester, you can post a query that's assigned to a specific location. This query is like any other FamilyTreeCircles query, except it is also listed in the location where volunteers for that location will be sure to see it, increasing the chances that you'll find someone to help.
This is a big day for FamilyTreeCircles as it greatly expands on our goal of connecting genealogy researchers who can help each other in their family tree search.
I hope you'll be able to particpate as both a volunteer and a requestor.

As always, if you have any suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to ask in the comments below.
I'm getting some great feedback from people who are digging into their own countries that there are some strange regions and cities, or some less than great naming conventions. I knew this going in and will be developing methods to fix these going forward on a case by case basis. Please understand that there are more than 7.9 million locations in the database and this one guy can't possibly go through even a small fraction of them. As you do find problems with the data, please do let me know. That's the first step in identifying the right process to get these things fixed.
Announcing the Assist! Program
We're finally recovering from the debilitating snowstorm here in the Northeast United States. We had many massive limbs and even a few trees drop in our garden and on our cars. And we were counted as lucky because we only lost power for several hours. There are some neighbors who are still without power 5 days later. We helped out however we could, providing helping hands to clear debris and bring buckets of water.
This brings to mind the outpouring of responses that I received from the survey I emailed about a last week about whether I should create a volunteer local genealogy lookup service.
Frankly, I'm overwhelmed by the response. As of right now, there have been 898 910 replies, most of which are filled with thoughtful comments and feedback. I've been reading each and every one of them. I wish I could reply to them all.
Here are just a few of the many hundreds of responses I got in the survey:
"It is so nice when people that live in an area are willing to help out. Most of us cannot travel to these locations to do the research ourselves and it is so important to those of us that are trying to build our family trees. It is so aggravating when so many websites claim to be 'free' then ask for a credit card number to give you the needed information. Thank you for what you are doing with this website. I've only just discovered it recently."
"I think it is a very good idea and we should all work together to uncover these hidden or missing info."
"I would love to participate in a service like this. I have never volunteered, but I am great at photographing gravestones or going to a place of records to find info for someone."
What about privacy?
By far, the biggest concern expressed was privacy and interacting with strangers. I'm happy to say that on FamilyTreeCircles we've had that problem pretty well handled for many years now thanks to a messaging system that has now had more than 22,000 private messages sent through it without exposing email addresses or other personal information.
Announcing the Assist! Program
So today I'm pleased to introduce the formation of the FamilyTreeCircles Assist! Program, a free service that will connect volunteers who would like to help out with local assistance at town halls and cemeteries, and to provide access to the vast amounts (or even small bits) of knowledge that they have collected.
There are thousands of individuals who are willing and able to perform lookups and document requests at local town halls or take pictures at local cemeteries on behalf of those without the means to travel to those locations.
Further, we have all obtained at least a small bit of knowledge that very few others have, like local knowledge of libraries, town halls, and other resources, information about the surnames that we're researching, and other rare books and information.
Therefore, there is not only a need for people to get help locally, but there exists a huge need for people to simply help out online in very specific areas of expertise.
We just need a way to make ourselves available to those who are in need of that knowledge.
By identifying yourself as someone who can help out in a specific location, or as someone who is knowlegable in certain surnames or areas of interest, you can help provide information to people seeking help in those areas.
And even if you cannot provide local lookups or you don't get specific requests from people, you can share your knowledge by helping us edit our location and surname information pages.
This Won't Be Easy. I Need Your Help...
This whole project hinges on our ability to get good coverage with a large number of volunteers. The first step is building up this strong network of people who are willing to make their knowledge and assistance available to others.
So I'm asking you to go to our Assist! page and identify the locations, surnames, and other areas in which you may help out.
To do so, go here: Assist! program registration
We'll follow up with how people will be able to get in touch for assistance.
Thank you for your participation. If you have any questions, please feel free to post comments.
p.s. This is not a major commitment on your part. We will ensure that people do not get overwhelmed with requests. How much assistance you give and effort you expend will always be entirely up to you.
Again, simply register your areas of knowlege here: Assist!
New Journal Type: Query
FamilyTreeCircles is growing and in an effort to better organize the large volume of journals that get posted here, I've added a new Journal type: Query.
Queries are simply a request for information on a particular ancestor or family. These get posted all the time in both the existing regular journals and questions, so I thought it would be worthwhile to try to get them separated out into their own types.
You'll notice them as the highly recognizable magenta-colored posts.
I've also made the Journal Type field available in the journal edit page, so you can change the types of your own journals if you'd like.
I'll be actively changing journal types as people get used to the new classifications.
This is another small step toward making it easier to scan through the growing list of journals at FamilyTreeCircles. Questions and the new Query types are posts that are specifically looking for help, and hopefully this will ensure that they get seen and hopefully get answered.
Policy Reminder: Don't Post Other People's Content Publicly
Please let me remind you that it is wrong to post other people's content on FamilyTreeCircles.
We state this simply in the terms of use
8. You will not post any copyrighted material on this website.
But maybe this isn't clear enough, so let me explain a bit further.
If someone has a website or a webpage posted somewhere on the Internet, the information they post there (unless they copied it from somewhere else) is theirs. You are not allowed to copy it and post it elsewhere without their permission.
I am not an intellectual property or trademark attorney, so I won't get into the legalities of this, but as the owner of this site, I will remove content that I believe has copied someone else's property. This can and will be just a judgement call by me.
Genealogy data gets copied around all the time, so I'm not talking specifically about names, dates, etc. I am talking about written prose, and larger collections of information that someone else has created.
As a general rule, if you find yourself copying and pasting large amounts of information from another website to post it on FamilyTreeCircles, and you don't have the permission from the original author, it is probably wrong. Please don't.
If you have any questions about specific cases, please just ask.
thank you.

Spam update
This is a quick update to the spam situation that I'm wrestling with here on FamilyTreeCircles.
As mentioned a few days ago in this post, Spam Spam Spam Spam, I put in some checks to prevent blatant spam from getting posted to FamilyTreeCircles.
In just 4 days, 535 messages that appear to be spam were put into the manual review queue.
I've reviewed all of them (fun, fun) and only one well-meaning, legitimate user was negatively impacted. His posts have been approved. The rest deleted (that part really was fun).
I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with the results so far. I will be refining the algorithms to reduce the false positives going forward.
Here's to a spam-free FamilyTreeCircles.
FamilyTreeCircles.com as Cousin Bait
Note: This was originally posted on the FamilyTreeCircles blog over a year ago. As I'm pulling that content into the new FTC blog, I've been post-dating them. But this one I think is worth reading again, so I'm setting the dates to today.
Catching up on my blog-reading, I came across Randy Seaver's post about "cousin bait".
Here's his overview...
Greta Koehl used the term "Cousin Bait" last month in her post Online Trees about the purpose of posting online family tree data. At least, that was the first use of the term I've seen published - an excellent term! Her point was that putting a family tree online in a database or on a web page may help induce distant cousins, who share your ancestry, into contacting you and perhaps provide more information about the common ancestral families.
While I've also never thought of it as "cousin bait", this is exactly what I had in mind when I created FamilyTreeCircles.com.
I've always described the concept as "casting a net" for other family tree researchers to find your posts, and then connect via FamilyTreeCircles.com.
And it's true that you can set some very effective bait with some simple posts on FamilyTreeCircles.com.
I wish Randy's example produced a FamilyTreeCircles.com result, but alas. Let's take a look at some recent posts and how they rank on Google.
Starting with the most recent FamilyTreeCircles.com journal, William SPINLEY + Emily WILHAM - Auckland 1800s, posted about an hour prior to writing this blog post.
A Google search for [William Spinley] produces a number one search result on Google just an hour after it was posted...
Here's another example of a more popular search result, [white family dna], 17MM results.
The author of this entry about a White family DNA project posted it here on FamilyTreeCircles as well as on Genforum at about the same time.
Her FamilyTreeCircles post is #3 on Google.com. The Genforum post is at #6. While not all posts make it to the first page of Google's results, both are a very effective way of getting some search engine exposure of your genealogy work.
If you're not doing so already, you should consider adding FamilyTreeCircles.com to your toolbox for getting your "cousin bait" out there on the search engine result pages.
New Feature: Private Messages OUTbox
When I built FamilyTreeCircles so many years ago, I had no idea how popular the private messages feature would be.
As of today, there have been over 18,000 messages sent through the private message system. I never would have guessed.
One of the most requested features that I get is for people to be able to see the messages that they have sent to others. Did I contact so-and-so about such-and-such? What did I say? Did she open it?
I'm happy to announce that I have added a new feature allowing you to view your outbox. In it, you can see all the messages you've ever sent.
Where is it? You'll see conspicuous links to your "Inbox" and "Outbox" in your private message area.
Here are a few notes about the new feature:
- You can view them, but you cannot delete them. (They don't belong to you any more!)
- You can see if the recipient has opened them
- You can still see them if the recipient has deleted them.
- I haven't structured the messages in any sort of "conversational" view.
Like me, you'll probably be a bit surprised at the number of messages that have gone un-opened. Honestly, I was quite disappointed at some of them. But at least now I know, and maybe I'll follow up again with some of them.
Enjoy, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Spam Spam Spam Spam
It's like a Monty Python skit around here!
I know that there has been a lot of spam here lately, and I thank the moderators who have been playing whack-a-mole trying to keep them at bay.
I've made a few small changes that I hope will thwart the majority of it.
If you see that something you post gets caught in a spam trap, please don't take it personally and know that I'll be keeping an eye on it. I apologize in advance for any false-positives that may happen.
Announcing: Favorites - More new features on Family Tree Circles
Hello. Your great feedback on some of the new stuff that I've been adding has inspired me to add more.
I've just added a "Favorites" feature.
Here's how it works...
You can add any post (journal, article, question) to your list of favorites by clicking the "Favorite" link. This link appears at the top of every journal. (give it a try, click the star at the top of this post):
and also in the journals lists (see callouts #2 and #3 in the image below)
You can view all your favorites under the "Journals" page. Look for the link on that page called "Favorites" (see callout #1 in the image below). You have to be logged in to use this feature.
Here's a direct link: Favorites
This is something that I've been wanting to add for a long time, to help keep track of journals that I want to get back to, or reference later, or just to mark as a "good one".
I hope you find it useful.

Better Business Bureau advises donors on tsunami relief efforts
Do your research before giving to charities
West Sacramento, CA – In the wake of the most powerful earthquake to hit Japan in over 100 years, many Americans want to help those impacted by the earthquake and the tsunami that followed. Better Business Bureau warns donors to exercise caution when making donations to relief agencies and charities.
As with every natural disaster, there are unscrupulous people who will attempt to take advantage of the public's eagerness to help victims.
"In the face of any disaster, Americans will immediately step forward with donations to aid the victims and their families," said Gary Almond, President of the BBB serving Northeast California. "Unfortunately, we've seen time and time again that scammers will try to take advantage of the generosity of the public after a disaster; that's why it's so important to take your time and do your research before donating to relief efforts."
The BBB offers the following advice to ensure donations go to trustworthy relief efforts:
Ø Before donating, visit www.bbb.org/charity to research organizations you're considering supporting.
Ø Be wary of charities that are reluctant to answer reasonable questions about their operations, finances and programs.
Ø Ask for written information about the charity's program(s) and finances such as the charity's latest annual report and financial statements.
Ø Ask what the charity intends to do with any excess contributions remaining once they've fully funded the disaster relief activities mentioned in solicitations.
Ø Don't give cash. Checks or money orders should be made out to the name of the charitable organization, not to the individual collecting the donation.
Ø Beware of fake charities that imitate the name and style of well-known organizations in an attempt to confuse donors.
Ø Don't give in to excessive pressure for on-the-spot donations. Be wary of any request to send a "runner" to pick up your contribution.
Ø Be wary of any charity that is inexperienced in carrying out relief efforts but is suddenly soliciting for aid in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami. Although well intentioned, they may not be able to quickly deliver aid to those in need.
Ø Be wary of appeals that are long on emotion, but short on describing what the charity will do to address the needs of victims and their families.
Ø Don't give your credit card number or other personal information to a telephone solicitor or in response to an e-mail solicitation.
Ø Make sure your contribution is tax deductible: donations should be made to charitable organizations that are tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Go to IRS Publication 78 on the IRS' website for a current list of all organizations eligible to receive contributions deductible as charitable gifts.
For additional information you can trust when making giving decisions, or to view BBB Wise Giving Reports on charities across the nation, start with www.necal.bbb.org.

A Dirty Sanchez is a Sexual act that is usually performed by White people typically Trailer trash. It is when a couple of the same or opposite sex engage in anal sex and the one who is giving it to the other in the ass will either take either his shit covered Dick or finger and make a shit mustache then calling it a dirty Sanchez because from a Caucasian point of view it might resemble a thin wispy Hispanic mustache.
Chad and Lance were butt fucking each other all night long. Chad enjoys the smell of shit so he asked Lance if he can please give him a Dirty Sanchez.

You guys are wrong, its when a man and a woman engage in anal sex, then the man takes his penis and rubs it on the girls upper lip leaving a moustache.
After having anal sex, the man gave the woman a dirty sanchez.

NO, a Dirty Sanchez is performed when a male fingers a female's ass and wipes the reminants on the female's upper lip. What you referred to below, when a male inserts his penis in a female's ass then transfers the fecal matter from his penis to the female's upper lip is the Dirty Rodruigez, the first cousin of the Dirty Sanchez. Don't feel bad though, they are commonly confused.

It does not matter how you do it. It's a Fecal Mustache.
Jane likes to give head, but Dick likes to give a Dirty Sanchez.

The term 'dirty sanchez' originated in the porn industry, particularly films involving ass-to-mouth (atm) action. It describes the (originally unintentional, i.e. blooper) act of leaving a shit moustache on a partner's face by taking your cock out of her ass and putting it in her mouth without wiping it off first. The result is that as the dick is thrust between the lips, shit is scraped off and comes to rest on her upper lip in a moustache configuration.
Anyone who thinks it involves the deliberate wiping of shit with fingers on a partner's face is a know-nothing fucktard.

The VeloMini folding electric bike
Article Summary
Electric bicycle designers are continually coming up with new ways to fold the humble bicycle to make it easier to carry when not being ridden. The latest to catch our eye is the VeloMini, a light-weight folding electric bike featuring a 180 watt brushless hub motor that will transport a person from eight to ten miles at speeds of up to 12 mph (19 km/h). When it's not being used it folds down to a compact form 18-inches tall that fits into a carrying case roughly the same size as a guitar case.

Stars react to Supreme Court gay-marriage rulings
Thursday - 6/27/2013, 2:10pm EDT
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Hollywood has long been a vocal supporter of marriage equality, with some stars -- including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- saying they'd hold off on tying the knot until the right to wed was extended to all Americans.
With Wednesday's Supreme Court rulings striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act and clearing the way for same-sex marriages to resume in California, stars went online to share their elation:
-- "Big news from the Supreme Court. Goodbye #DOMA #Prop8. Hello #equality." -- Ben Affleck.
-- "Historic day. Well done #SCOTUS." -- Leonardo DiCaprio.
-- "I look forward to exercising my American civil liberties... and getting fully, completely and legally married this year to my true love of over three years, Linda Wallem." -- Melissa Etheridge in announcing her engagement.
-- "It's a supremely wonderful day for equality. Prop 8 is over, and so is DOMA. Congratulations everyone. And I mean everyone." -- Ellen DeGeneres.
-- "#Prop8 is no more. Marriage equality & the freedom so many sought is here. At the end of the day we are ALL people who deserve equality!" -- Marlee Matlin.
-- "@daxshepard1 will you marry me? Xo #marriageequality #loveislove" -- Kristen Bell to her fiance, Dax Shepard. The couple previously said they'd wait to wed until it was legal for everyone.
-- "After many prayers and tears, A historic day for Justice and Equality for ALL. Goodbye #DOMA Goodbye #Prop8 Hello Love." -- Pauley Perrette.
-- "We stand tall today.#DomaStruckDown So many fought for so long. Be proud, the prejudice are now the minority." -- Lady Gaga.
-- "Remember the old days when #DOMA was around and gay people couldn't get married in California? Crazy right!?" -- Jesse Tyler Ferguson of "Modern Family."
-- "I am standing on the right side of history. I stand with @HRC for marriage equality. #SCOTUS #time4marriage" -- Alicia Keys, who included a link to the Human Rights Campaign's website.
-- "Awesome, awesome day to be an American. Yay, marriage equality!!!!! Knew it was coming. Glad it was today. Congrats, Us!" -- Martha Plimpton.
-- "Today my heart soars, and my faith in the promise of our great nation is renewed. Now, if there's anything we gays know how to do well, it is to celebrate! Let the joy of this day ring out with PRIDE." -- George Takei, on Facebook.
-- "Today, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we keep working for full equality for all and to bring the freedom to marry for gay couples to the 37 states that still remain." -- Statement from Cyndi Lauper, founder of the True Colors Fund to end homelessness for lesbian, gay and transgender youth.

Kusagakure | |
Name | |
Kanji | 草隠れの里 |
Rōmaji | Kusagakure no Sato |
Literal English | Village Hidden in the Grass |
Village Data | |
Symbol |
Kusagakure (草隠れの里, Kusagakure no Sato, Literally meaning: Village Hidden in the Grass) is located thus far in an unnamed country. Because it had genin participating in the Chūnin Exams organised by Konohagakure, it can be assumed the two villages are allied. Although it has never been named, the country Kusagakure is located in has been shown on several occasions. The country is rich with forests, some consisting of giant mushrooms or bamboo. It also seems to have many rivers and deep ravines.
During the Third Shinobi World War, the country was invaded by Iwagakure and served as an important front between Iwa and Konoha. More than a decade later, Orochimaru had a hideout somewhere in the country.[1]
Kusagakure is skilled in diplomacy, a trait they constantly use to read the movements of other countries and stay one step ahead of them. They also analyse techniques from other villages in a similar manner. Because of these principles, others find it hard to read the shinobi from this village's attitudes.[2]
[show]Locations Edit
Kannabi Bridge Edit
Main article: Kannabi Bridge The Kannabi Bridge (神無毘橋, Kannabi-kyō, Literally meaning: Bridge where the gods do not help) was a large bridge, spanning a river somewhere in Kusagakure. During the Third Shinobi World War, this bridge was a vital pathway to Iwagakure's line of supply. Team Minato, led by newly-promoted jōnin Kakashi Hatake, were given the mission of destroying it. They eventually succeeded with the aid of the team's official leader, Minato Namikaze. However, the team's member, Obito Uchiha, was incapacitated and was thought to have been dead prior to the destruction of the bridge. Despite his apparent death, the bridge was nonetheless destroyed, turning the tide of the war in Konoha's favour despite their massive shortage in manpower.
Tenchi Bridge Edit
Main article: Tenchi Bridge The Tenchi Bridge (天地橋, Tenchi-kyō, Literally meaning: Heaven and Earth Bridge) is located somewhere in Kusagakure, spanning a deep ravine. It was here that Team Kakashi, led by Yamato, were to meet up with one of Akatsuki-member Sasori's spies, Kabuto Yakushi.
Hōzuki Castle Edit
Main article: Hōzuki Castle The Hōzuki Castle (鬼灯城, Hōzuki-jō, Literally meaning: Demon Lantern Castle), also known as the Blood Prison (ブラッド・プリズン, Buraddo Purizun), is a large castle that serves as a criminal containment facility located in Kusagakure that appears in Naruto the Movie: Blood Prison. Its master (主, aruji) was Mui, who used the ultimate imprisonment technique to seal the abilities of his prisoners, preventing them from escaping.
Trivia Edit
- The country borders on the Land of Fire in the east, the Land of Earth in the northwest, Takigakure in the north and Amegakure in the south.
- Minato Namikaze and his son, Naruto Uzumaki, have both destroyed a bridge in this land.
- In chapter 9 of Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth Full Power Ninja Chronicles, a missing-nin from Kusagakure tried to kidnap Hinata Hyūga and wreck havoc in Konohagakure.
- Kusagakure was the primary location of Naruto the Movie: Blood Prison. According to the film, the village was in possession of an ancient superweapon dating back to the days of the Sage of the Six Paths; the weapon was so powerful that Kusagakure was seen as a powerful force in the world at that time.
- After the old Kusagakure was destroyed, the weapon was hidden and two factions arose, namely "Grass Fruit" (草の実, Kusa no Jitsu) group, opposed to the use of the weapon, and "Grass Flower" (草の花, Kusa no Hana) group, in favour of using the weapon to restore Kusagakure's former glory.
- The symbol of Kusagakure on Muku and Ryūzetsu's forehead protectors is incorrectly depicted with four grass blades instead of three.

Paul Hill and Tricia Maas discuss challenges and solutions for creating innovative new high schools.
Charter Schools and Public School Choice
Charter Schools and Public School Choice
Charter schools offer the potential to create high-performing public schools in districts typically plagued by poor student outcomes. Too often, however, the charter school debate is marred by biased research and polemics. Like all important reform efforts, credible research and analysis must accompany innovation.
To assess whether charter schools are fulfilling their mission, we rigorously evaluate their performance, costs, and ability to address unique student needs. New data and evidence help innovators across the country collaborate, communicate, and develop best practices.
Current work: Charter Schools and Special Education Enrollment
This study explores why charter schools tend to enroll fewer special education students.

Current work: Effects of Common Enrollment Systems
This study analyzes the design and implementation of unified enrollment systems in Denver Public Schools and the Recovery School District in New Orleans—two districts that have led the way in designing enrollment systems that include all district and charter schools. CRPE will also study the planning process underway to create a similar enrollment system in Philadelphia.

I like going fast. I like to straight up the wave, turn close 180 degrees (or more) on a dime and come back down. I like to fit three in turns in on a waist high wave. I like to throw backside buckets one after another.
Do I have to pump it somes times just to milk enough speed up to do one good turn- yeah I do and it's more fun than just standing there when I take the top off that mushy slop.
I like knowing that if I ran into Luke, Joel or Mick (pros about my size) they might say "that board looks sick mate- you wanna switch with me for a few waves?"

Beautiful picture on a vibrant lavender wall.
Purchase Reason
Sent this as a Christmas present to my Mom since I am 2000 miles away. She loves lavender and irises. So this was perfect. My son passed away when he was in fifth grade and Mom had helped him do a report on Monet and his art so the print reminds her of special memories of times they spent together. She has had a rough year - Dad passed away last February and Mom had to be in a nursing home for several months. She is back home now and this lovely print helps to brighten her world every day.
Purchase Reason
Excellent quality. Just as it was pictured. No complaints about this company or this picture.
Purchase Reason
Love being able to look at the work of Monet

Understand the Business Behind UX... It's Your Job
How many times have you seen your hard work go down the drain because it is "out of scope" or "not in budget?" How many times have you been shot down, disappointed, or unmotivated because no matter how well designed and researched your solution is, it simply cannot be done? How can we, as UX designers, stop this cycle from happening? And more importantly, how can we bring experience design into the conversation at a higher level so experience-driven strategies and planning aren't determined solely on project budget, but instead are agreed upon before the budget has even been determined? How? Easy: we need to learn where the money comes from.
Most UX designers—whether in-house, agency, or indie—are unaware of how money and budgeting works for the projects they are on and for the organizations that they work for. Instead of learning about budgeting, we keep our focus on the user experience. We investigate the business need, user mental models, gaps, wants, etc., and create the best user experience possible for everyone. This isn't necessarily wrong; after all, it's what we've been trained to do, and it is a method that works.
The problem comes in when our solutions are out of scope, over budget, or just do not align with the sponsor's end goals. In these cases, our design solution, although well researched and informed, is not holistic. We are not fully aware of how the solution will make the sponsor money, and how that money could lead to future innovations to the solution (and thus a better user experience). Business is a cycle of earning money and spending money. Our solutions earn businesses money, shouldn't we also be aware of how that money is spent?
So how do we close this gap in our understanding so we can ensure we're designing solutions that are holistic, well researched and designed, and supported by project sponsors? First, we need to be sponges. We need to look at the project around us and be observant to how the money is moving through it. Who in the organization (in house, or client side) is funding this effort? What type of monetary measurements (10% more users, 15% higher conversion rates, etc.) will make this project successful? What other types of success measures are there? How is the project manager estimating spending of the budget (20% design, 40% development, 40% business, etc.)?
By asking these basic questions, we can begin to understand how money is being earned and spent. The next step in developing that understanding is to take these learnings out of the project realm and apply them to the business level. For example, begin finding answers to questions such as: Which group in the organization has the biggest design budget and why? How can the design budgets in other parts of the organization be increased? What are their intentions for innovation and development this year? How does design fit into the overall budget for the organization? How much revenue does any given solution bring into the company? How much revenue and profit will be put towards the design budget? And so on. These types of questions take good relationships and time to answer, but it is possible to get these answers—I've been there, trust me.
If we learn about the money, design can become part of the business as opposed to just another resource on a project. As I mentioned previously, design solutions directly affect revenue and profit, and thus also affect budgeting and future enhancements and innovations. By learning about and inserting ourselves into conversations about money we can begin to counter the "that's not in the budget" comments with conversations like these:
PM: "That's not in scope"
UXD: "How much of the budget will this solution take up?"
PM: "10% of the budget."
UXD: "This solution will bring us in 5% more revenue then the original solution. Does that change the budget?"
PM: "Good point, let's go talk to the sponsor."
That is a productive conversation. As opposed to just preaching what's best for the user (which we should always do) and relying on people's good will and conscientiousness to accept our advice, we can insert ourselves into the business side of things. And the conversation can and should be taken to an even higher level. Sponsors with money to spend on innovation look to and need UXers to spend their money wisely. They want to get the most bang for their buck, and that means getting more revenue, which is achieved with better UX design.
So, learn about the money. I know it's scary, seems like you're selling out, and seems like a job for someone else, but in order to advance the UX profession, we as a group need to start integrating experience design into the business side of things. A coach cannot be a head coach for a professional football team if he is only aware of the game logistics. He needs to understand offense, defense, recruiting, player management, funding, spending—all facets of the business and sport. That is how coaches integrate themselves into the football business. We need to learn about the money in order to become the "head coaches" of experience design for the organizations we serve. We need to be holistic and understand the root that all businesses are based off of: the cash.

A very good article!
As a UXer keep always the stakeholders and particular politically issues of product development in mind!
To argue with hard facts and defined key performance indicators is always the best way to get more budget.
Great post, Liz! I fully agree with the notion that UXers need to understand the dollars and cents that we drive. We have trouble getting buy in from the C-level suite and project sponsors because they really aren't interested in our design intuition. They need to know what return on investment will be and they need people who are accountable--and the only surefire way for UX practitioners to get the credibility and voice we so desire is through this accountability. Our counterparts in marketing are beholden to numbers and budgets and so should we be. Being able to say to a project sponsor 'Currently we are losing 35% of our potential customers because they are unable to complete this sign up form, and this is costing us $200k per month' has a lot more weight than saying 'Users are having trouble with sign up.' It's so much easier to get buy in when you can show the money: You become a voice at the table that is driving revenue, and this is always what is going to get priority.
Another of the key points you make here is about relationships: "These types of questions take good relationships and time to answer, but it is possible to get these answers". Building allies and working across teams and departments is so important. Most people are happy to share the load and problem solve together--get out of your silo and talk to your business counterparts and you may be amazed at the insight you gain.
To boil that down: selling innovation is also selling investment. Short term investments and returns are not the only kind, not for an employer and neither for it's customer, especially in the field of B2B. Companies are used to long term investments. Don't forget that too!
To boil it down, if the there is no human measure in scale of an employer then the same reflects in its products, relations to customers, employees and partners.
When companies tend to lack the innovation and thus becoming less profitable they tend to buy other companies to keep their profits higher.
I think the software industry has matured in level of automation and availability of software to the masses to the point that it becomes less effective to focus on those in order to deliver more worth: productivity. Companies who have become big in these fields and lack innovation. Most profitable is now focusing the human measure in the design of software. This requires being lean and mean as an organization. It's true companies are about profit (cash), but they only have a future if they can deliver highest quality for lowest prices. A company just focusing on cash, forgets that the marketable definition of quality changes. To continuously monetize your own innovations is about vision and money. It's mostly starts with vision and then when executed and marketed smartly the money comes in. One might say Apple is buying up other companies and is large and extremely focused on making money. This is only because they have a vision and know how to market innovations. But maybe also they stick out so much because others perform so bad. It's not that Apple always has been good in marketing innovation. When that started they were very innovative and visionary, maybe even ahead of their time. They have learned from those mistakes and that same old vision is marketable now. But if Apple gets to far ahead of itself it might go into the same direction as most other once innovative companies eventually: big bloated not innovative money makers which have a lot of fat on their bones but slowly sink into a dangerous diet.
I like to add that this is also why I am a bit skeptic with people who have a job title: UX evangelist. I know Microsoft has. In some way it sounds wrong that it should be a job title. The UX has to be very underrated or the competition between other evangelists (like a kind of lobby) is idiotic, both situations doesn't sound like a good place to be in either way. But then again, UX evangelist might be a very challenging and rewarding job. I personally prefer a less sluggishness, just the average bread and butter job title "UX designer" is good enough ;)

The best case to add value in both currency and quality of work is starting your own business. I did. Then you need to understand how much level of UX is actually needed and the price tags that comes with delivering that efficiently. All the low cost methods by designing before any computer or code is touched or any discussion done with programmers make the process more efficient.
Making high quality goods very much means that the designers and developers see it as a challenge and where they can develop and have harmonious working relations.
In tradtional software houses the culture is very much build around development and thus less fitting to designers. To do both is hard. It means that the developers stick to the design as delivered by US guys while finding the challenge in the technology, not the amount of control on the software as a whole. Companies know that a single good developer can do the work of many. But I think the same goes for the UX designer. Significant high efficiency going hand in hand with high quality happens when the productiveness is not dependant of one star employee, but by the intelligent efficient harmonious communication of the whole. This is why companies are organisations. Because they should be. Some people don't have talent for entrepreneurship, because it's way much more that just doing your UX thing. But no matter how you look at it, just doing your UX thing doesn't make a company an organisation. This sounds obvious, but I think in many companies a lot of time goes into evangelisation of all kinds of disciplines they have. My personal experience is that the intensity of evangelisation depends on the level of harmony. This and politics also make me think that the advantage of scale is a myth. It maybe a money maker, but it doesn't deliver quality efficiently.
The distance from UXD to sponsor is a long one. It certainly helps if UXD can present UX improvements in terms of % higher conversions, % more subscribers etc. Accurate data are needed but quite often not easy to get. You need help from web analytics team. Project manager might help as well. That´s the way to get awareness about UX around a company step by step and finally try to reach UX heaven - be part of every budget from start to deployment.
PS. Building library of own UX case studies with monetized results helps a lot.
