Once a small-town boy from the Free State, Du Plessis has caught the attention of national and international scouts with some excellent performances for school, province and country this season.
During Craven Week, he was approached by the Sydney Roosters, an Australian rugby league team, who made him a lucrative offer. He signed a three-year contract, with a one-month escape clause, and will travel to Sydney in December.
Du Plessis grew up on a farm and went to Reitz High, where he started his schoolboy career at flank. His natural talent had already caught the attention of the provincial selectors as he captained an U15 Free State Barbarians side.
However, the 18-year-old realised if he wanted to pursue a professional career in rugby, he would have to move to a more recognised school.
'If I had stayed at Reitz, I would have only been able to make the Griffons squad at provincial level,' he said. 'One day, I travelled with my father to Paul Roos. We were both impressed with the structures and high standards they had and he suggested I continue my schooling there from 2007.'
Du Plessis' decision proved to be a good one. At Paul Roos, he was utilised on the wing and he went on to make the U16 Western Province elite squad. The following season he made his debut for Paul Roos's 1st XV.
'What makes him so special is that he's a very strong runner and has excellent stepping ability,' says Paul Roos 1st XV coach Stephan Jordaan. 'He can sometimes bump off a lot of tackles, but he usually escapes the defence with his stepping.
'I remember him scoring some crucial tries. Against SACS last year, he scored a try from the halfway line by beating several defenders.'
This season Du Plessis made the switch to outside centre in order to get more involved with play and because he lacks the speed to play wing. He went on to make the WP Craven Week and SA Schools teams.
While many were shocked by his decision to go to Australia, he says he simply wants to develop his game overseas, and still has Springbok ambitions.
'Anyone in my position would do the same,' he said. 'I'm going over there to play rugby league, which will improve my skills and help me grow as a player. I still want to play in the green and gold, so I'll come back.'

German-Jewish teenager Anne Frank was just 13 years old when she went into hiding with her parents, older sister and four other Jews following the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands during World War II. During those two years between 1942 and 1944, Anne kept a personal diary, charting her familys day to day existence hidden in the rear annexe of a house overlooking Prinsengracht canal in Amsterdam, and their mounting fear of being found and persecuted in Nazi concentration camps.
Since Annes coming-of-age account of hope and courage was first published in 1947, it has been read by millions of readers all over the world, and has become one of the most unique and powerful memoirs of the Holocaust. Her diary has been translated into 67 languages and has regularly been the subject of stage and screen performances, while her plight continues to attract thousands of visitors every year to the Anne Frank Museum dedicated to her story in Amsterdam.
Annelies Marie Frank was born on 12 June 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany, to Otto, a former German Army lieutenant-turned businessman, and Edith. The couple already had a three-year-old daughter, Margot, and the family lived a quiet existence on the outskirts of Frankfurt. Against the backdrop of a struggling German economy following the harsh sanctions placed on the country by the 1919 Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I, Adolf Hitlers National German Socialist Workers Party Nazi Party took control of the Government in 1933. The Frank family realised that they had to leave the country to find safety, and, as Otto later said, Though this did hurt me deeply, I realised that Germany was not the world, and I left my country forever.
The family started a new life in Amsterdam in autumn of 1933 and Anne attended the Montessori School throughout the 1930s, until 1 September 1939 when World War II was ignited with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany. On 10 May, 1940, the Netherlands was invaded by the German army and surrendered on 15 May, 1940, at which point the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands began. Anne later wrote in her diary: After May 1940, the good times were few and far between; first there was the war, then the capitulation and then the arrival of the Germans, which is when the trouble started for the Jews.
Immediately, Jews were singled out they had to wear a yellow Star of David and comply with a strict curfew, while Anne and Margot were forced to attend a segregated Jewish school. Just weeks after Annes 13th birthday, for which she had received a red diary from her parents, Margot received a summons to a Nazi work camp in Germany. The family went into hiding in the secret annexe, a hiding place at the back of Otto Franks company building, which was hidden from view by buildings on all four sides.
Alongside the four Franks, Otto's business partner Hermann van Pels, his wife Auguste, and son, Peter, hid in the annexe too. Ottos employees Kugler and Kleiman, and friends Jan and Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl, provided the families with food throughout their time in hiding.
Anne wrote her hopes, dreams, fears and her growing love for Peter into her diary in a bid to combat the boredom of being in hiding. In February, 1944, she wrote: I've reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die. The world will keep on turning without me, and I can't do anything to change events anyway. However, in April 1944, she wrote of the power of her diary: When I write, I can shake off all my cares.
After two years and one month hidden in the annexe, Annes family and the other Jews hidden in the secret annexe were betrayed to the Nazis the identity of the betrayer remains unknown to this day and the secret annexe was stormed by German secret police officers and four Dutch Nazis on 4 August, 1944. All of the inhabitants were arrested and sent to Camp Westerbork, a concentration camp located in the northeastern Netherlands.
They were transferred to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland in September, 1944, whereupon men and women were segregated. Anne and her sister were transferred to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany, which was renamed Stalag 311. Their mother Edith perished at Auschwitz in January, 1945. Anne and Margot died within a day of each other of typhus in March of 1945, mere weeks before the camp was liberated by Russian soldiers. Anne was just fifteen years old, one of over a million children who died as a result of the Holocaust. Her father Otto was the only member of the family to survive the war.
Otto returned to Amsterdam after the war was over, desperate to trace his family, but heard that they had all died at the hands of the Nazis. His old friend, Miep Gies, gave Otto Annes diary, which she had saved from the annexe and hidden in a drawer of her desk. Otto later wrote that the discovery of the diary allowed him to get to know a whole new Anne. There was revealed a completely different Anne to the child that I had lost. I had no idea of the depths of her thoughts and feelings, he wrote. Upon the publication of 'The Secret Annex: Diary Letters from June 14, 1942 to August 1, 1944' on 25 June, 1947, Otto said: If she had been here, Anne would have been so proud.
Over the years, there have been rumours that the diary is not entirely a work by Anne herself, but rather written in part by her father, Otto. Indeed, French professor Robert Faurrison wrote an article in 1978, entitled 'The Diary of Anne Frank Is it authentic?'. Alongside this suggestion, in the late 1950s, several pro-Nazi journals inferred that the diary had been forged by American author Meyer Levin, who had written a theatrical version of the play but had failed to get it to the stage. However, it was concluded that Levin had nothing to do with the original diary and, whilst it is widely accepted that Otto did edit some sections of the diary prior to publication, in order to keep some personal extracts out of print, the vast majority of the diary was indeed Annes work.

I was going to position these around my property to make the neighborhood crows feel more at home. But they were such good silouettes I used them in my house for decorations. I will be getting another set to fulfill my first plan later..Great job-good likeness-Now lets get some Ravens. P.S. I already gave a set of these to another crow/Raven lover and She really likes them too.
These are kind of cool! I received them as a gift and hope they keep the squirrels out of the feeders!

Results vs. @Erskine (2008-02-09 16:00:00)
February 9, 2008
|Pfeiffer Falls to Erskine
|Sunday, 10 February 2008
|The Pfeiffer men's basketball winning streak came to a screeching halt Saturday and the Falcons were defeated 109-101 at Erskine. The Falcons had won 10 consecutive games and not lost in over a month. This defeat was quite similar to their last at Barton on January 7th. Erskine shot an incredible 15-26 from the 3-point line and shot 30 more free throws than the Falcons. Erskine came out firing and went 9-15 from the three in the first half in taking a 53-38 lead at the break. The Flying Fleet did not cool off much in the second half shooting 6-11 from behind the arc. Pfeiffer got down by as many as 21 points but never gave up, scoring 63 points in the second half but could get no closer than eight points. The Falcons were 27-43 (63%) on two point shots and 20-23 from the free throw line but just 9-29 from 3-point range. The Falcons shot just 23 free throws to 53 attempts for Erskine.
Pfeiffer was led by Jeff Pettiway and Thomas Carr who had 18 points each. Pettiway scored his, on only nine field goal attempts and Carr made six 3-pointers. Logan Call had 14 points, Robert McGriff 12 and Chris Woods had 11 points on 4-5 shooting and had nine rebounds.
"We did not play bad, Erskine played great," said Pfeiffer coach Dave Davis. "We had hands in their faces and they seemed to make everything. Erskine has really been struggling to score this season and they took it all out on us today. We played better in many ways today than we have during several wins this season. I was incredibly proud of our guys for staying the course and continuing to fight through adversity. We played maybe our best offensive half of the season in trying to comeback in the second half but they would not miss and we really needed them to. We defended their best two players incredibly well earlier this year at Pfeiffer, but today Wright was 7-10 from the 3-point line and scored 27 and Taylor had 18. Erskine got eight other 3-point shots made by guys who have not made shots all year. At Pfeiffer, we know we are going to get people's best shots and credit Erskine for playing an unbelievable game. The 3-point line can be a incredible equalizer and our loss today and last month at Barton came at the hands of some rarely seen shooting. Road wins are very difficult in our conference and it will not get any easier as we play five of our final seven away from home."
The loss puts Pfeiffer currently ranked #5 in the East Region, in 2nd place in Conference Carolina's at 12-3 and 16-5 overall. A Falcon win on Saturday likely would have moved them to a #2 ranking in the East. Pfeiffer's next game is Wednesday at Lees McRae.

Agriculture Secretary urges "reform-minded" farm bill
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack urged Congress to break a logjam and pass a reform-minded farm bill, but two lobbyists said the deadlocked $500 billion bill may not be enacted for months, or even a year.
Vilsack, who is expected to stay at USDA for at least the start of President Barack Obama's second term, told Reuters the department "would do everything we can" to implement a new farm bill in time for the 2013 harvest next fall.
With deficit reduction at the top of the agenda for lawmakers during a brief post-election session, Vilsack said "reform becomes a very important component" for the farm bill, already six weeks overdue.
Months ago Obama suggested $33 billion in agricultural cuts, and analysts say the best chance to pass a farm bill this year would be to use its budget cuts as part of an overall plan to reduce the federal deficit.
But they see little chance of a budget pact and say the farm bill is a minor issue for lawmakers to spend time on, compared to looming automatic budget cuts and tax increases.
Potential changes in agricultural committee assignments in Congress could also slow the path to a farm bill.
Written every few years, farm bills are panoramic legislation that range from production subsidies and soil conservation efforts to food aid, agricultural research and rural economic development. Food stamps account for three-quarters of the spending.
If the House debates the farm bill, Ohio Republican Jim Jordan said he would seek a vote to separate food stamps from the rest of the bill. The step would break a decades-old urban-rural coalition and could fit into a Republican plan to convert food stamps into a block grant to states.
The Senate passed its version of the farm bill in mid June but work on the bill stalled in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives in late July.
The House Agriculture Committee's bill would make the deepest cuts in food stamps in a generation, four times more than the Senate version.
Vilsack declined during an interview to suggest a limit on food stamp cuts, in favor of direct discussions with lawmakers.
"I am concerned there is a lack of clarity on the part of House Republican leadership on how much of a priority this is," he said. "Our role is to see the reforms that are enacted do not undercut the purpose of (food stamps) or any other program."
Against the odds, a final version of the bill could still materialize in the next few weeks, Vilsack said, adding, "This town works best when there is a deadline."

good magnet for people who want a multiple picture magnet.
I picked this one because we had so many pics we liked and couldn't decide on just one or two. So this made our decision easy.
Love it!
I received my save the date magnets very quickly! I am extremely satisfied with them and can't wait to send them out to everybody. Thank you!
I loved these ! They turned out awesome and for shipped to me so fast!
Fun Save the Date
Card is very pretty. It's a good size for putting in all your information. The 4 small pictures were a little bit smaller than I thought, but worked well with the large picture. I put in a series of pics that make it appear the couple was doing a dance. It looks like a film strip and gives a little motion to the card. Matching envelopes are of good quality.
I just got my order yesterday and I LOVE THEM!!! Very good quality of card. Better than what I expected. DEFINATELY ORDER THEM!!

For a Few Demons More
For a Few Demons More (Mass Market Paperback)
Despite dating one vampire and living with another, Rachel Morgan has always managed to stay just ahead of trouble . . . until now.
A fiendish serial killer stalks the Hollows, and no one living in or around Cincinnati—human, inhuman, or undead—is safe.
An ancient artifact may be the key to stopping the murderer—a mysterious relic that is now in the hands of Rachel Morgan, fearless independent bounty hunter and reckless witch. But revealing it could ignite a battle to the death among the vast and varied local supernatural races.
Rachel's been lucky so far. But even she can't hide from catastrophe forever.

When you're ready to hit the World Cup Downhill course, the Fox 40 is ready for you. This fork is not for the feint of heart. Fox designed the 40 for the rider that seeks the absolute highest grade of performance through the most extreme terrain. With riders such as Aaron Gwin riding the 40 to victory at the World Cup Championships, it's easy to see this fork is race- bred. Install the 40 and hop on the bike. You'll notice the 40 tracks remarkably well, even if the ground is full of ruts, roots, and rocks. The engineers at Fox worked hard to instill the ultimate stiffness and plushness into the the fork for accurate steering, immaculate small bump sensitivity as well as big hit absorption. Upon a larger hit, the 40 eats it up and you are ready to focus on the terrain ahead. 40mm stanchions and the triple- crown keep the fork ultra-stiff.
The 40 is part of Fox's Factory series, therefore the stanchions are treated with the unique-to-Fox Kashima coating. This ensures that the suspension is buttery smooth. The Kashima coating is a proprietary hard anodizing process that fills in any microscopic pores in the material creating a smoother surface, in comparison to a hard anodization on prior versions. Its distinctive gold color is backed by its high performance attributes including extreme durability as well as an extremely smooth feel. The biggest purpose and value of the Kashima coating is its friction reduction properties, however the increase in durability makes it all even better.
Fox included the FIT RC2 damper in the Fox 40. The FIT RC2 damper employs a bladder system that keeps the oil and air from mixing to provide optimal performance in all riding extremes. Since the FIT cartridge uses much less oil, the weight of the fork is significantly less than one with an open bath style. The lighter damper is also inverted in the fork which reduces unsprung weight.
Adjustments such as low- speed compression, high- speed compression, and spring preload are located conveniently for quick access on the trail, so you can dial in your fork's suspension on-the-fly, right before, during or after your run. The Fox 40 is the flagship model of Fox Racing Shox downhill forks, and will take your riding to the next level.

JON CARDINELLI writes the Springboks played with power and purpose but struggled to translate territorial and set-piece dominance into points.
The Boks should have won this match comfortably. They controlled the game in the first half, hammering the Samoans at the set-pieces and ensuring that the majority of the contest took place in opposition territory.
They were helped by the self-destructive play of the islanders, who ran from deep and coughed up possession through handling errors and breakdown turnovers. Unfortunately, the Boks were in no mood to punish their bumbling opponents. The South Africans played an aggressive, tactically-smart game, but their failure to finish made their task harder than it needed to be.
The Bok scrum was in impressive form, with Beast Mtawarira getting the hit on Census Johnston. Victor Matfield looked like a superstar in the early stages as he secured the Bok lineout ball and disrupted the opposition throw. With such a powerful platform to launch, the Boks would have been expected to pile on the points and record another 50-plus score.
Bryan Habana finished well in the ninth minute, and the Boks strode to a 7-0 lead. For much of the first half, their defence did a fine job resisting the Samoan surge, and their tactical kickers booted for territory knowing full well that the wobbly Samoa set-piece would battle to retain possession.
Samoa showed little imagination on attack, moving the ball from side to side without much success. It was a credit to the Bok defence who effected 69 tackles (30 more than Samoa) in the first 40 minutes, but it was equally an indictment on the tactical naivety and impotency of the islanders.
The game changed in the second half, with Samoa producing a more competitive showing at the scrum and lineout, and using that platform to play more direct rugby in terms of deploying their strike runners at the Bok midfield. Suddenly, a 13-0 scoreline didn't seem as much a cushion as an insufficient gap considering the manner in which the Samoans had upped the ante.
Had the Boks taken their attacking opportunities and maximised their forward dominance in the first half, it may not have been such a close finish. Had they cashed in, they would have broken the spirit of a limited Samoan side in the first half and racked up some big numbers in the second.
But those failings would so nearly cost them the game. George Stowers crashed over in the 51st minute, and suddenly Samoa were finding holes in the previously watertight Bok defence. The Samoa scrum was standing its ground, the islanders were enjoying more territory and possession, and not for the first time in this tournament, the Boks' scramble defence was called on to save the day.
The Boks would have won comfortably had they finished better in the first half. Their inability to do so will have their quarter-final opponents, the Wallabies, taking note.
Against a top team you need to make your attacking opportunities count, and once again this Bok side, through a lack of attacking synergy and patience, left a number of points on the park. Tactically, they looked like potential champions, but champions translate opportunities into points.
There's is still much to rectify before next Sunday's showdown in Wellington.

16-30 September 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline
Part One with 1-15 September 201 Timeline Here.
September is over and it's time to analyze this month from an Information Security perspective with the second part of the Cyber Attack Timeline.
Probably this month will be remembered for the massive outage of six U.S. Banks (Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo and PNC ) caused by a wave of DDoS attack carried on by alleged Muslim hackers in retaliation for the infamous movie (maybe this term is exaggerated) "The Innocence of Muslims".
China has confirmed its intense activity inside the Cyber space. Alleged (state-sponsored?) Chinese hackers were allegedly behind the attack to Telvent, whose project files of its core product OASyS SCADA were stolen after a breach, and also behind a thwarted spear-phishing cyber attack against the White House.
Adobe suffered a high-profile breach which caused a build server to be compromised with the consequent theft of a certificate key used to sign two malware strains found on the wild (with the consequent necessary revoke of the compromised key affecting approximately 1,100 files).
Last but not least, the Hacktivism fever has apparently dropped. September has offered some attacks on the wake of the #OpFreeAssange campaign, and a new wave of attacks at the end of the month after the global protests set for September, the 29th, under the hashtag of #29s.
If you want to have an idea of how fragile our data are inside the cyberspace, have a look at the timelines of the main Cyber Attacks in 2011 and 2012 and the related statistics (regularly updated), and follow @paulsparrows on Twitter for the latest updates.
Also, feel free to submit remarkable incidents that in your opinion deserve to be included in the timelines (and charts).

2A Boys District 1/2 Tournament Preview
Semifinals: Feb. 11, 7 p.m. at higher seeds
Championship: Feb. 15, 8 p.m. at Mount Vernon H.S.
Advancing: Top three advance to regionals.
Big storylines: With three different leagues funneling into this a tournament, it's a bit of an enigma. One thing known is the Cascade Conference teams are definitely the underdogs. Lynden (19-1) and Anacortes (16-4) finished first and second, respectively, in the Northwest Conference and Lake Washington, playing in the hyper-competitive Kingco 3A/2A, was in the middle of the pack as the lone 2A team. To put it into perspective, Cedarcrest, the co-champ of the Cascade Conference, lost to Squalicum, which didn't even make the tournament out of the Northwest Conference, in the season opener and Lake Washington (62-48 loss on Dec. 5). That said, Cedarcrest has improved as the season has gone along, winning 12 of it final 16 games.
Favorite: Lynden. The Lions are 19-1 with their only loss of the season coming at the hands of 4A Tahoma and impressive wins over Mark Morris, Skyline and Granite Bay, Calif. Lynden went 12-0 in the Northwest Conference and was rarely challenged.
Dark horse: Lake Washington. It's hard to gauge how good the Kangaroos are because they went 5-9 in a brutally difficult Kingco. But their big win over a good Cedarcrest team seems to indicate they're very good.
Matchup we want to see: Lyden and Cedarcrest. It'd be interesting to see how the Lions would try to keep Zach Taylor and Jordan Corpus down.
Key players: Zach Taylor (Cedarcrest), Jordan Corpus (Cedarcrest), Drew Helmdal (Lake Washington), Zander Clouse (Archbishop Murphy), Phil Hoban (Archbishop Murphy), Josh Shine (Lynden), Zach Vis (Lynden), Daron Browning (Burlington-Edison), Charlie Linneman (Sehome).
Picks: 1. Lynden, 2. Lake Washington, 3. Cedarcrest

Debbie Rolen Staff Writer
September 11, 2013
Members of the board of directors for the Logan Emergency Services and W.Va. Delegates Rupie Phillips and Ted Tomblin were on hand to witness the demonstration of an emergency response amphibious vehicle at the Logan Emergency Services Authority Base of Operations. LEASA is expecting delivery of one of the vehicles in about two weeks.
"We are excited about it," said LEASA Executive Director Roger Bryant, "The vehicle is going to stay on the trailer all the time, ready to go. I can think of all kinds of instances over the years that it would have been good to have one of these vehicles. There's always more than one way to do anything and we always figure out a way to get the job done, but this will make it a lot easier."
Hydratrek representative Bob Phillips gave an overview of the vehicle, "The D2488B unit is the biggest and most aggressive Hydratrek. The vehicle weighs 5,700 pounds dry weight. It's all aluminum except for the engine, the tires and the bronze propellers. The hull is 3/16 inch reinforced aluminum, the top is 1/8 inch thick. This is a hollow-seal hull we inject with foam before final assembly to enhance the buoyancy and the stability of the vehicle. Because of the stability of the vehicle, you can get out and work on the gunnells of the vehicle and use them as a working platform. We have launched rescue divers and search and rescue personnel from the sides of this vehicle. It is very stable in the water. It has 24-inch tracks."
Powered by a 85HP Kubota turbo-diesel engine and hydrostatic wheel motors, the D2488B unit has plenty of torque for hauling or pulling big loads up to 8,000 pounds. Payload on land is 3,000; payload in the water is 1,600.This gives it the ability to carry a substantial amount of either personnel, equipment or supplies on either land or water.
Like all the Hydratrek vehicles, it is an amphibious ATV designed for wetlands, flood plains, and swamp conditions. The 24" over-the-tire (OTT) rubber track system enables the unit to achieve a ground pressure rating of 1.0 lb. per square inch. The vehicle can be changed between using the tracks or propellers using a switch on the dashboard and can be done seamlessly on the fly.
"There is virtually no terrain this vehicle won't go through," said Phillips.
A new feature in 2012 is the available option for a planetary drive system. The planetary drives produce a much higher level of torque and offers two speed capabilities: High and Low range. For the most demanding environments and conditions, the planetary drive is a viable solution for the D2488B Hydratrek.
Phillips went on to say, "It is very like running a Bobcat, with a zero turn radius—it actually can turn in it's own footprint."
Each vehicle is built and configures to fit the customer's needs. The vehicle for LEASA with have a full cab, it will be equipped with spine boards, racks and ladders. The cost for a vehicle of this type is approximately $100,000.
This vehicle will allow using the Guyandotte River for travel to any blocked area and the tracks would allow it to pull right up the river bank and then travel on to a patient. This vehicle will allow for both the quickest and safest access to blocked areas.
Mr. Phillips had a smaller version of the vehicle he used to take several members of the LEASA team, the board of directors and the Logan Banner on a short trip on the Guyandotte to demonstrate the vehicle's abilities.

The problem with project thinking is it leads you into the trap of continually needing new customers to have a healthy business. It can also mean that you get swamped with work for a time and then nothing, so you need to attract more customers. Sure there will be times when customers just want you do a one off project. However if you change the way you think about your services and how you offer them you could be surprised at the additional solutions you can actually offer your customers.
If a picture speaks a thousand words, then a video certainly adds a good few more on top of that. One area in which video is invaluable is the "how-to" instructional that takes a diagram, recipe, or list of steps and brings the topic to life. Whether you're a small business owner and want to demo a product, an artisan wanting to show off your skills, or even a consumer with a passion for sharing knowledge, before you pick up the camcorder, have a read of our top tips.
There's no firm statistics on how many small-business owners lend money to staff. But those who frequently engage in the practice say it makes good business sense. One reason, they say, is that it can help prevent a slowdown in productivity because workers who are stressed out about money may have difficulty focusing on their jobs. Another rationale for helping employees overcome financial hardships is that it can boost loyalty, morale and unity within a work force.
What attitude adjustments should you make in your business to influence your employees? The next time you get a customer complaint, online or not, is your reaction, "Oh geez, here we go again?" Or do you think to yourself, "A customer problem! This is my job to fix." The difference in your attitude will translate into a difference in that of your employees, and might turn around how your business is perceived, online and off.
Despite all the criticism that Mark Zuckerberg has taken for his actions in the past, there is one thing that nobody can contest: Zuckerberg is an extremely shrewd business person. He often thinks in terms of decades, not days, weeks, or months, and has built the only site that has ever had the chance to take down (or at least compete with) Google. So what is it that has brought him to this point and what should entrepreneurs take away from his successes?
OPENapps allows app developers to easily get their application to market and provides website owners a way to find and integrate apps into their sites while still maintaining their own branding.
If you do not live in Australia you may not have seen the news that a 16 year old girl named Jessica Watson successfully sailed around the world unassisted. Apart from the feat itself which was pretty astounding, what caught my attention was the planning and execution by the team responsible for the marketing of the whole journey.

Once known almost exclusively as a brewing and manufacturing powerhouse, Milwaukee has taken steps in recent years to reshape its image. In the past decade, major new additions to the city have included the Milwaukee Riverwalk, the Midwest Airlines Center, Miller Park, an internationally renowned addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum, and Pier Wisconsin, as well as major renovations to the Milwaukee Auditorium. In addition, many new skyscrapers, condos, lofts, and apartments have been constructed in neighborhoods on and near the lakefront and riverbanks.

I assume you haven't read the Moral Landscape, on which Sam builds some very good arguments that answer the dilemma you raised about value. The absence of free will doesn't do away with our interests and ability to experience pleasure and pain and other states on the spectrum of well being. Therefore, we can still achieve morality and motivation for action.
I think that he would concede that, no, you don't have any choice in your credulity or work ethic - but you've clearly got some of both or you wouldn't be on his forum trying to parse his arguments. That having been said, and as I've said elsewhere, I take it as given that our minds are infused either with free will or the illusion of free will. Whichever it is, I've seen no evidence for preferring one explanation to the other.
I'm about half way through Moral Landscape, but I have the same issue there. I don't really feel his arguments about morality and motivation without freewill as compelling as the arguments against faith or religion as a basis for morality. I'll continue reading and rereading it, but as much as I agree with Sam's fundamental theses, I still find many of his arguments more statements to be accepted than logical arguments.
If one does not choose their actions, there could be no such thing as morality.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC) released the April 2012 edition of its state-by-state snapshots which detail each individual state's economic progress for the previous month. The report shows that three-in-five states gained private-sector jobs in March. Nationally, 121,000 private-sector positions were added during the month, a deceleration in the pace of job growth, following three straight months of private-sector job gains exceeding 200,000.
Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Chairman of the JEC said, "As this state-by-state report highlights, Washington must continue to focus on legislation that creates jobs and must make sure businesses have the support they need to contribute to our economic recovery.
"Small businesses are at the center of the economy and vital to our recovery. Three out of every four workers in the United States are hired by a business with 250 employees or less. This is why Congress must pass the Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief Act of 2012. This bill, which includes a small business payroll tax incentive similar to my legislation, will give small businesses a 10-percent income tax credit on new payroll for hiring new workers or increasing employee wages. It will make it easier for small businesses to grow while investing in their workforce."
Report highlights include:
- Thirty states and the District of Columbia added private-sector jobs in March. From March 2011 – March 2012, North Dakota (8.6 percent), the District of Columbia (3.7 percent), and Texas (3.5 percent) had the largest percentage gains in private-sector employment. During this period, 2.1 million private-sector positions were added nationally.
Thirty states saw their unemployment rates decline in March, though only 7 states recorded statistically significant decreases. In the past 12 months, Michigan and Alabama reported the largest decline in the unemployment rate (-2.0 percentage points). The national unemployment rate during the month was 8.2 percent, down from 8.9 percent a year earlier.
Manufacturing employment expanded in 30 states in March. Nationally, the manufacturing sector accounted for more than 30 percent of the private-sector jobs gains during March. In the past 12 months, 32 states added manufacturing positions.
Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia added jobs in the professional and business services sector in March. In the past year, 39 states and the District of Columbia have added professional and business services jobs, with California, New York and Texas recording the largest gains. In the last year, 597,000 jobs were added in the professional and business services sector.
- Thirty-five states and the District of Columbia added jobs in the leisure and hospitality sector during March. In the past 12 months, 37 states and the District of Columbia added leisure and hospitality jobs. During this period, leisure and hospitality employment increased by 328,000 positions.
The report entitled "Understanding the Economy: State-by-State Snapshots," features key economic statistics for each state. The report is the fourth edition released in 2012 by the Chairman of the JEC and uses recently released state-level data to explain how the economic recovery is unfolding in each state.

How about a big hand for Craig W3CRR for a job well done on today's net. Many many check ins and I think most of us could hear most everyone. It would be nice to know how many check ins there were or maybe a list and Post #s. Lets hope next month is the same. FYI maybe a list of today's check ins would help in acknowledging next months check ins....Thanks again Craig.. 73 de WA2VFK. Lee
I was encouraged because at least this time I could hear the NCS a little bit. He was a 3-3 to 3-4 for the RST. At times though he would bounce to 4-4. Stations checking in were anywhere from 3-3 to 5-9+. All in all I was encouraged as this is better than it was for me at my location. He never responded to my call for checking-in so I know he could not hear me. I am in West Michigan, running 100 watts into a wire antenna, 40 feet in the air as a flat top, and running from the southeast to the northwest.
Best regards,
Rich "Doc" AC8AL
Thanks Craig great net - I could hear everyone! Last month on 20m I could only hear and make contact was with Bill in SD. No luck today on the Veterans Day Special Event Station. I will be listening next month on 40m.
Bill AC8KO
I have been regular at attempting to check-in to the net....LOL Someday NCS will hear me and I will actually get checked-in.
Best regards,
Rich "Doc"
Thanks to all for the "net results" comments. Frankly, I was totally unprepared for the 50+ checkin-ins since -- on the old 20 meter net -- I was lucky to hear a half dozen at most. I got completely overwhelmed so, once again, apologies to those I missed. By the way, Doc", I think I did hear you several times in the huge pileups, but was unable to pick out your call. I'll getcha next time f'sure!
Also, next time I will take check-ins by call area (though that may not help much since most of you are in "8-land" and pause periodically for relays. I'll also talk less and listen more :-) .
Again, many thanks for your understanding and patience. We'll get this right, yet. Oh -- please think about establishing additional net days, times and frequencies along with recruiting additional volunteers NCSs, especially in the midwest and west.
I keep reading about the Sunday net on 20m, but no one is giving a freq and mode. Is this in addition to the 1500 hr net on 40 on Saturday or a replacement?
Second SUNDAY of the month on 7.238 MHz LSB at 2100Z (1600 EST) as of 10 November.
73 de Bruce N4TGZ
I tried checking into the net last Sunday at 1400 MST but all I could hear was noise. Is there a better time to hold the net that would take advantage of atmospheric conditions and allow more check-ins?

It wasn't so long ago that if a runner wanted to rest his tired dogs after a run, he put on last year's worn out running shoes or a pair of rubber flip-flops. Fast forward to the 21st century and runners find themselves entering the age of the Comfort Shoe, an industry term for a market segment growing by (and because of) leaps and bounds. A sub-category of the Comfort Shoe has come to be known as the AprPs Shoe; footwear that makes your feet feel great after a workout. Technology and cutting-edge design have helped create shoes that are fun, fashionable, and above all, kind and, dare we say, welcoming, to a runner's tired toes and aching arches.
Following are the favorite AprPs Shoe choices of some of Running Times' editors and senior writers.
Jonathan Beverly, Editor in Chief
Montrail Molokai $49.95
Given that my feet sweat so much that I end up with hot spots and blisters after any race or long run, regardless of what shoes I wear, my idea of an aprPs-run shoe is no shoe at all: I don't want anything bumping my toes or putting pressure on my foot. The Molokai does barefoot one better, providing underfoot protection and comfort with highly-contoured footbeds that disappeared after I heat-molded them to my foot's shape, and the open-air comfort of minimalist flip-flop uppers that nevertheless hold them securely to my aching tootsies. I don't even know they are on, which is the highest praise I can give any footwear.
Martha Kelley, Calendar Editor
Birkenstock Arizona $70
Birkenstocks, once the shoe of choice for hippies everywhere, have now permeated the culture. Today even supermodels are singing their praises. RT Calendar Editor Martha Kelley, busy mother of three boys, only looks like a supermodel, especially when she's rocking her Birks. Because time is of the essence for Martha, she has summarized her love for her iconic Arizonas in two haiku:
Post-run Birkenstocks Birkenstocks below
Soft leather conforms so well
Happy feet again
Abounding leather comfort
Reverberates up
Post-run Birkenstocks
Birkenstocks below
Jim Gerweck, Managing Editor
Earth Cabo K $79
The name "Earth Shoes" alone brought back thoughts of youthful counterculture days, and indeed, I was surprised to learn the company hadn't gone the way of lava lamps and the Fillmore Auditorium. But slipping my feet into their sandals instantly refreshed long-dormant muscle memory: the feeling of standing barefoot on a beach, heels sinking into soft sand. The pleasant calf stretch and posture-straightening produced by the shoes' Negative Heel design showed that, like the Grateful Dead, some things from that bygone era age well and are worth holding on to. The only negative is the nylon strap that proves somewhat irritating between the toes; if this model came in a slide, it would be my aprPs run footwear fave.

It may have happened late last month, but it's still something worth discussing: how 9 judges were charged with traffic ticket fixing in Philly.According to ABC News, a "widespread culture of giving breaks on traffic citations" persisted in the city, federal prosecutors alleged, though everyday citizens were out of luck. Only the well-connected got breaks.Defense attorneys suggested that the judges made no money from the favors and that the court has worked that way for a century.The defendants include six current and former Philadelphia traffic court judges and three suburban judges who had stints at the court. Among them is former Traffic Court Judge Willie Singletary, who had been kicked out of office for...

With you saying the bible is full of lies, i can't confront that because in order to do that i would have to back up every single verse. As far as the bible being sexist, God did make different roles for men and women. However, the only areas that biblically a male has more authority than a female is in the area of the family, and the church. This does not apply to any other area of life. Also, even though this society has equated authority with importance, it just isn't so. To demonstarte this, if a cop pulls you over, is he more important than you? of course not, but he does have authority over you. Also, in this whole equasion, the bible puts far more responsibility on the male. When the bible says "husbands love your wives" it uses the greek word "agape" which is an unconditional love like Christ had for us. When God said "wives love your husbands" it used the greek word "phileo" which is a mutual, affectionate type of a love. The responsibility is far more on the male. Also, the bible says "the man is the head of the household as Christ is the head of the church. Again, the responsibility goes far more to the male.
You were right about something…a bee is essentially perfect. So is a flower. They didn't sin, humans did. We were the ones that screwed up. Therefore, we are the ones with the problems
As far as evolution goes, that doesn't prove it. God is an artist, and like any artist, some of his work is similar. Listen to music, a particular artist will have his own style, and some of the songs will sound similar. So it is with God, some of his creation is similar to his other creation. As far as evolution itself tho, there is very little evidence for it, and alot against it. Taking it back to the big bang theory, in that theory all the matter in the universe was in one spot. well, a black hole is something where there's so much mass that the gravity is too extreme for anything to leave it. That's exactly what this would be. when something is that condensed, the atoms and subatomic particles break down. when it's that simple, there can't be an explosion because there's no atoms or chemicals to react. On earth itself, if the earth were even 20 million years old, the radiation level at that time would be too extreme for any life as we know it to exist. with the dating systems that say it's that old, you have carbon13, sedimentry, and fossil dating. carbon 13 is only accurate to about 5000 years, yet they use it to state the earth is billions of years old. With sedimentry and fossil dating, they determine how old the sediments are by the fossils in them, and how old the fossils are by the sediments. That's circular reasoning, and doesn't hold up. If you want more info on evolution, go to a search engine and search for "kent hoven". he's a christian scientist who debates with evolutionist at public schools. He has an offer out to anyone who can give him any proof that evolution is true that he will give them $100,000. no one has been able to do it. remember, even though it doesn't feel like it, God is there. I don't know what you've been through, but i know i've been through alot. in that last few years alot of my friends and most of my family has died. I don't know what i would have done without God. I may get ino some of the stuff i've been through later, but for now, know that God is here even when it feels liek he's not. Well, i hope something i've said has helped, and i hope to hear from you soon. I'll be praying for you. Take care and God bless.

Adam Brody Is Such a Nice Jewish Boy – The Daily Swoon
Adam Brody is still around, still making movies, and still just as cute as ever. He's the nice Jewish boy your mom is always wanting you to date.
You'll probably remember Adam most from 'The O.C.,' aka my not-so-guilty pleasure (and don't lie, yours too). Brody played Seth Cohen, and regardless of how much you loved that Ryan and Marissa nonsense, you know Seth was the best part of that whole show.
Brody is still nabbing roles, and you might have seen him in 'Jennifer's Body,' 'Damsels in Distress,' or 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World,' and you can see him next in the upcoming indie flick 'Some Girl(s).'
Who doesn't love a cute Jewish boy like Brody, with his amazing hair and sense of humor? Even when he plays a jerk, he's still a really cute jerk. Hell, he can even pull off wearing eyeliner like he did in 'Jennifer's Body,' and like, no dudes can pull off wearing eyeliner.
It didn't work in the '90s and it's not working now, but man, seeing Brody in eyeliner? Killed me.

Yellow Jackets Sting Lady Falcon Softball in Friday Sweep
March 25, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - West Virginia State swept a pair of softball contests from Pfeiffer University 8-3 and 6-2 at Jack Ingram Field on Friday afternoon. The Yellow Jackets improve to 14-6 while the Lady Falcons fall to 13-19.
In game one, WVSU used three multi-run innings in the third, fifth and seventh pulling away for good with three in the final frame. Pfeiffer plated single runs in each of the second, fifth and sixth's innings. Brittany Hyatt and Kayla Sturms each had three RBI in the opener for the Yellow Jackets. Hannah Jackson, Rachel LaBar and Andrea Wagner each had run-scoring hits in the loss.
In the nightcap, WVSU broke up a scoreless game in the fourth before blowing it open with three in the fifth and two more in the sixth. Pfeiffer's pair of runs came later in the sixth. Five different Yellow Jackets picked up RBI while three had multi-hit games. For Pfeiffer, LaBar was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate.
Pfeiffer returns to league action on Sunday with a doubleheader at Lees-McRae. First pitch in game one is set for 1:00 p.m.
