"The universal dialler can be installed for different ISPs"
Product tested in lab conditions; It may be released in May College unit develops portal for farmers
CHENNAI: The Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) unit of the Jaya Engineering College has developed a universal dialler that can be downloaded and installed for different Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
The unit worked with the National Resource Centre for FOSS and the Indian Linux User Group to develop the dialler.
The college's FOSS unit coordinators note that different ISPs such as BSNL, VSNL or Reliance have their own diallers, but each of them was unique. Hence, the users can use only one of them at a time.
The universal dialler can be used across all ISP users, says M. Kumaran, coordinator and head of the Computer Science department at JCE.
The product has been tested in lab conditions and may be released in May first week. The National Resource Centre and the Linux User Group validated the working of the software product, he says, adding that nearly 85 per cent has been developed using open source tools Linux, PHP Python, Apache Web Server and My SQL Database tool. The FOSS unit will soon unveil a farm resource and information portal. Mr. Kumaran notes it would have information relevant for farmers, including product and raw material input costs, prices of commodities.
"We plan to have an e-commerce arm in the portal and a call centre that can provide online support to farmers in terms of prices, product information and market support information," he says adding that the portal will go online in May.
Open source software
Mr. Kumaran and the team from Jaya Engineering College explained the products at an inter-college seminar on open source software.
College Chairman Prof A. Kanagaraj said the management was prepared to support all activities that would enrich the learning process of students.
"We are ready to go the extra mile to help you become competitive, but in return we expect the students to come up with more sterling performances... ," he added.

Styles of IndiaRead MoreThe staff at Styles of India focuses solely on the art of hair removal to shape brows and remove unwanted fuzz across the entire physique. An ancient technique, threading makes use of pure cotton strands, rolled and lifted along the face and eyebrows to remove hair in a straight line—ideal for eyebrows or sculpting sideburns into the style Benjamin Franklin sported: lightning bolts. The technicians at Styles of India are also adept with wax, removing unwanted hair from legs, arms, and bikini lines.4136 S Carrier Pkwy.Grand Prairie, TX US
AIB SalonRead MoreThe initials in AIB Salon stand for "art of Indian beauty," and traditional South Asian beauty techniques are indeed its focus. Stylists can deftly use modern techniques such as Japanese hair-straightening or permanent eyelash extensions, but the team specializes in the ancient art of threading—manipulating 100% cotton threads to remove unwanted facial hair with more speed and precision than waxing, shaving, or tweezing. It's also gentle, since the thread lassoes each hair without causing discomfort to the surrounding skin. Newly de-fuzzed faces can celebrate with facial treatments that incorporate herbs and even gold. Indeed, a taste for glamour permeates AIB Salon: makeup artists revel in creating jaw-dropping wedding looks and, especially, henna designs almost too elaborate to be believed.3824 S Carrier Pkwy., Ste. 430Grand Prairie, TX US
Angelic TouchRead MoreAngelic Touch?s team of massage therapists and skincare specialists invite clients to indulge in one of their lavish, spirit-reviving spa treatments. Steamed towels and aromatic oils prep the body for a stress-killing Swedish massage, whereas hot stones unburden muscles from tight and tense positions. On the skincare side, specialists provide deep cleansing and exfoliation to the face, coaxing radiant colors from the complexion. The staff also offers full-body wraps that leave skin smooth, hydrated, and glowing.2307 Oak Ln.Grand Prairie, TX US
DermLaser Institute of DallasRead MoreDermLaser Institute of Dallas While performing her residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Dr. Ellen Turner built a strong foundation for treating dermatological conditions such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and skin cancer. She designed DermLaser Institute of Dallas to treat skin maladies ranging from eczema and melasma to scar treatment. She and her staff tone and brighten complexions with skin treatments as well as medical, cosmetic, and laser procedures. Outside of simple skin-brightening work, DermLaser Institute of Dallas also wields Yag and Fraxel lasers to perform facial rejuvenation, body contouring, hair removal, and tattoo removal. Dr. Turner also works below the surface in her spa, treating faces with injectables and dermal fillers in addition to traditional chemical peels, facials, and microdermabrasion treatments. She also helps clients keep up at-home regimens with Belladermis, her personally curated product shop that includes cleansers by SkinMedica, lotions from Obagi, and a mysterious salve that turns dogs invisible.8222 Douglas AveDallas, TX US
Completely BareRead MoreCindy Barshop may have a familiar face. She gained reality-TV fame as a cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City, but she found success much earlier when the Madison Avenue spa she founded more than 10 years ago grew into a hair-removal brand known throughout the country. Completely Bare's waxing specialists dab bikini lines with the shop's proprietary blend of ouch-less wax, which adheres to hair instead of skin to avoid the painful pull that often accompanies a waxing session. The blend is hypoallergenic and does not cause acne, which makes it ideal for depilating sensitive skin and touchy bodily zones. Routine waxing sessions add extra sparkle with the salon's vajazzling service, which bedecks newly hair-free spots with up to 70 Swarovski crystals arranged into such shapes as hearts, stars, peace signs, and MPAA ratings. The spa specialists also migrate beyond the below-the-belt area to polish the rest of the body with facials, laser hair removal, spray tanning, and teeth whitening.5300 East Mockingbird LaneDallas, TX US
Renew Beauty Med Spa DallasRead MoreChampions of beautifying faces and bodies via noninvasive, advanced technologies, Renew Beauty Med Spa's highly knowledgeable staff of medically trained and accredited physicians, nurses, and aestheticians spends their waking hours obsessing over how to better others' skin. The staff upholds their desire to remain on the cutting edge of new procedures and products through hours of meticulous research, showcasing their findings by constantly updating the spa's menu of services. Evidence of the team's shared ambition can be found as they work their aesthetic magic in five offices everyday, removing unwanted hirsute patches via laser hair removal or expunging coffee, wine, and grass stains from grins during teeth-whitening sessions. As firm believers that a glowing complexion requires a commitment to healthy decisions, the team works hard to equip their patients with a posttreatment maintenance plan.8687 N Central ExpyDallas, TX US

A good story. Something about aliens and Easter Island has always hung connected inside me, so I'm glad you connected them out here.
A couple of things: Everyone seems way too calm to have the world ending around them suddenly, but I do like the play between Adam and Rosemary in the beginning. Also, there's a place where you switch verb tense awkwardly:
"Adam," she began.
"What?" interrupting her again. (began/interrupting).
And again, Adam and Katrina (whose name made me think of the hurricane every time) seem waaaaay to calm to be encountering extra-terrestrials face to, uh, mask.
I too am stricken with nitpicking , so...
Overall a tight, interesting little tale.
Four stars.

AP Pro32 comments about Cardinals
Comments on the Arizona Cardinals by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses):
Chris Berman (ESPN, 29) - 4-0 to 5-11.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 28) - Solving the quarterback issues will be priority No. 1 for the new coach.
Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 25)
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 29) - Coaches get fired when they don't get production from the QB position, prime example.
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 25) - The Bidwills clean house after a disastrous season. Is Andy Reid the man to right the ship? And if so, will he trust Kevin Kolb to be his quarterback?
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 26) - The Cardinals finished a dismal 5-11 and fired coach Ken Whisenhunt - one of the three former Super Bowl coaches to get the ax on Black Monday (also Andy Reid and Lovie Smith).
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 27) - Forget a new coach and GM. These guys need quarterbacks and tackles to apply for next season.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 27) - Ask Ken Whisenhunt how important a QB is to an NFL team's success.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 25) - It's tough when the best QB on the roster is a guy you picked up on the street after the other three were injured or just failed. The defense kept it together for most of the season but the offense needs a total makeover with the exception of Larry Fitzgerald.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 27) - Exhibit 1A as to how important the QB position is in today's NFL. New coach and GM in Arizona as well. This seems to be a theme.
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 27) - A 1-11 end to the season shows how far Arizona has fallen since the 2008 Cardinals reached the Super Bowl.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 27) - Rod Graves and Ken Whisenhunt made some solid contributions to the Cardinals, but they couldn't fix the quarterback position in recent years.

Northern Arizona needed just 70 minutes to hand the Montana volleyball team a quick 25-8, 25-11, 25-20 loss Saturday night at the Rolle Activity Center at Flagstaff, Ariz. The loss was the fourth straight and eighth in nine matches for the Grizzlies.
The Lumberjacks (14-3, 6-2 BSC) hit a remarkable .604 in the first two sets and finished at .471 for the match, a season high for a Montana (3-14, 1-7 BSC) opponent this fall. The 39 points scored by the Grizzlies was an NAU record for fewest points allowed in the 25-point scoring era.
"I'm getting tired of doing it, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Northern Arizona is playing like a juggernaut right now," said UM coach Jerry Wagner, whose team lost in three sets at Southern Utah Thursday.
"We're running into good teams right now and not matching their intensity. We allowed both of the teams on this road trip to just outplay us."
Montana was within 8-6 in the opening set and 6-4 in the second set before Northern Arizona put on hitting clinics that produced set-closing runs of 17-2 and 19-7.
In the first two sets the Lumberjacks had 30 kills and just a single hitting error on 48 attacks.
On the other side of the net, Montana could get little going early. The Grizzlies hit .020 in the first two sets and finished with just 26 kills for the match to NAU's 46.
Montana fell behind 12-6 in the third set but fought back to within 21-19 before consecutive kills from the Lumberjacks ended any further rally. The Grizzlies hit .258 in the third set.
"We had to run a good offense tonight to change the tempo to our favor, and we needed to serve aggressively," Wagner said.
"We started out doing those things in the first two sets, but it wasn't until the third when we did them with some consistency."
Sophomore Kelsey Schile, who got the start at setter as Wagner tried a 6-2 offensive system, led Montana with seven kills on .312 hitting along with six assists. Junior Brooke Bray had five kills and a team-high three blocks. Freshman Gabby Crowell also finished with five kills.
Junior Janele Vogt, a transfer from North Idaho College, got her first career start and totaled four kills on .500 hitting.
Northern Arizona's middle blockers were fantastic. Sydney Kemper and Payton Bock combined for 21 kills, just five fewer than the Grizzlies had as a team, on .588 hitting. They also had nine blocks as NAU finished with an 11-4 advantage at the net.
Montana will conclude the first half of its Big Sky Conference schedule over the next nine days. The Grizzlies will host Sacramento State (6-11, 2-6 BSC) next Friday at the West Auxiliary Gym, then play at Montana State (11-5, 5-3 BSC) on Monday, Oct. 15.

AUSTIN -- The mass exodus is underway at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport as Austin's inauguralFormula 1 race ends. ABIA is anticipating the largest crowds of the F1 weekend as fans leave town.
[The line] looks a little bit long, said Camilo Robayo of Colombia as he stood in the bag check line at the counter for Delta Airlines.
ABIA is anticipating several thousand more departing passengers than a typical Monday.
This is just part of it. When you have that many people who want to be someplace you're going to have lines. We're here for the fun of it; we're not here to worry about the lines or worry about the travel, said Phil Lower of Georgia.
Airport spokesperson Jim Halbrook says lines for security checkpoints on Monday could stretch out for about an hour.
On commercial flights alone there are 2,500 extra seats available to get passengers out of this airport so that's going to make it a little bit busier than a Monday, said Halbrook.
ABIA activated a new, fourth security checkpoint to help process passengers, but some still worried whether they gave themselves enough time to make it through.
[I came] an hour and three quarters. Hopefully that's enough right? said Paul Charsley of England.
As the crowd grew early Monday morning, TSA agents stretched rope lines for security checkpoints out the front door. Outside car rental companies took in a steady stream of customers.
We're going to have 5,000 plus rental cars returned today. On a normal busy rental car return day, it's 2,000. That's a lot of cars, on the roadway, converging on the airport, explained Halbrook.
ABIA is urging departing passengers to arrive two hours before their schedule flight and additional time for anyone who is returning a rental car.

It's not the act of revealing secrets that has gotten Edward Snowden in trouble, after all, members of the Bush Administration did exactly that in the Plame affair as did members of the Obama Administration by leaking the drone memo. Leaking classified documents doesn't always lead to prosecution, on the contrary, sometimes it leads to advancement of personal agendas:
"Does the rule of law demand that leaks of highly classified information be prosecuted? If so, John Brennan and many other current and former national-security officials had better be given orange jumpsuits. They weren't even leaking to alert Americans to behavior that they found immoral. Often times, the U.S. national security establishment leaks to exploit a political advantage."
The reason that the United States government is so adamant about getting their hands on Snowden is because, as Chris Hedges pointed out in "Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt" while discussing popular uprisings when referencing Victor Sebestyen's book "Revolution 1989: The Fall of the Soviet Empire" in which he was chronicling the events leading up to the collapse of East Germany, the dissolution of the Stasi, and the fall of the Berlin Wall:
"This was the turning point, when the people knew that the regime lacked the will or the strength to maintain power."

Since everyone is talking about it, I thought my column TeeOff must touch upon it. After all the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was started by a golfer.
What seemed to have started between cousins took in CEOs, athletes, statesman, actors and politicians. For some it was ice cubes, others ice-cold water. Golf's global star Tiger Woods did it, and Rory McIlroy challenged George Bush to it and Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric got down to do the same with his entire team to watch him.
Martha Stewart picked a salon to try the challenge, conveniently so, as she could come out of it looking pretty prim and nice. GM's Mary Barra joined that list with her co-workers drenching her in front of employees. She was challenged by Hewlett Packard CEO Meg Whitman.
Challenged by former NFL player Steve Gleason, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella accepted the challenge in which he asked the hackathon-winning team to dump ice water on him. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Google CEO Larry Page were also soaked by the idea.
There is a long and animated debate around whether an ice-bucket challenge could be wasting water, which otherwise could quench the thirst of people. And others critics have wondered could this campaign just be a flash in the bucket as it was just a one-off that clicked and helped ALS association raise nearly 50 million dollars against about 2.5 million last year.
But no matter what, it's a wonderfull campaign. You might have been living behind a rock to not know what ALS ice bucket challenge is because thanks to social media and the internet, the whole world now knows it. I am surprised to not see any CEO in India not having done it. I wonder if such 'viral' stories can emerge out of India.
Could a successful marketing campaign like this actually be replicated with similar success? Can we indeed 'Indianise' it?
I heard about a rice challenge started in south of the country, giving a bucket to rice a poor person. I would think a little deeper. Not just doing things to give away something but actually raise money to run a campaign more systematically.
Here's an example. Just recently two corporations TCS and Bharti made headlines for putting aside Rs 200 crore for toilets. Nothing stopped them from pledging this earlier, perhaps before the PM's speech raised the matter on bringing dignity to the loo-issue. Any sort of gimmick, challenge or excitement could have been created to raise funds in India to build bathrooms. Haven't we seen enough noise on social media? Hasn't there been enough written on it? What's stops us from getting a big drive like this going? Core to its success needs to be the interest that can turn it into an organic, self-perpetuating promotion. And so the idea of 'doing something' to raise money must be fun and interesting enough for people of all ages to participate.
It often takes a Bollywood star or a sportsman to kick off big stories but perhaps India Inc could also start the fire? Shed the black-suit style, roll up its sleeve and try a 'Gangnam' style participation and engagement with what India truly needs – from bathrooms, schools to clean drinking water. Without waiting from the PM for a cue.

Vicente Fox's rocky first year as president of Mexico
Mexico's President Vicente Fox, who broke Mexico's 71-year-long, single-party rule a year ago, has had a rough year. His big plans have gotten nowhere.
It is no surprise. Autocrats can turn nations on a dime (usually the wrong way), but democrats have a harder time. In Mexico, where the democratic levers of command have existed in name only, Fox faced an impossible task. Inertia is too well developed.
That does not mean Fox has failed, for his historical importance was to break the single-party stranglehold of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He has given Mexico a democratic legitimacy it never had, one recognized when the U.S. Congress invited him to address a joint session last September. Fox gave a memorable Jeffersonian speech, "from the head and the heart."
The speech came only five days before Sept. 11, and any help Fox hoped to receive from America in his historic attempt to modernize Mexico was doomed. Economically, Osama bin Laden and his Islamic perverts hit Mexico, a poor nation, as hard as they hit anyone. America's recession, which accelerated after Sept. 11, has been particularly hard on Mexico and on Fox's big plans.
Mexico is a major oil exporter, and as the recession has widened, it has driven down the price of oil from $28 to less than $18 a barrel, cutting the revenue of Mexico's government, which owns the oil, drastically. While oil-importing nations like the United States benefit from this drop, oil exporters like Mexico are hurting.
Fox came into office with three big plans: ending corruption, raising taxes and improving education. One-fifth of the way through his term is too soon to make a judgment on his success, but so far he has little progress to show. The ideas are good, but he cannot implement them.
Take taxes. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which groups the 30 richest nations, lists Mexico as last in taxes as a percentage of GDP. Only 16 percent of Mexico's wealth goes to the government, compared with an OECD average of 37 percent.
For Fox, who wants to improve education to lift Mexicans out of poverty; to pay police and judges more to wean them from corruption; and to invest more in poor Indian states like Chiapas to reduce violent protest, the lack of government income hits hard.
Fox's plans to impose 15 percent value-added taxes on food and medicine have been thwarted in Congress by the PRI, the primary source of Mexico's endemic economic problems. Fox has been forced to depend on oil revenues for his education reforms, and as those revenues plummeted, so did hopes for his reforms.
Mexico's poor economic performance -- Mexico is next to last in the OECD in per capita GDP (purchasing power parity), trailing only Turkey -- is linked to its inferior education structure. Mexico spends only one-fourth of the OECD average on primary and secondary education -- $935 per pupil per year in primary education, compared to an OECD mean of $3,851.

My tunes have no shape, they flow and twist enigmatically, illogically. Mood music for troubled minds. Score for a science fiction film never made. Shimmering in the air around you, disappearing without leaving behind so much as a sprinkle of fairy dust.
There's a strange dichotomy at work here: I'm using this advanced, amazing computer to simulate and record almost any instrument known to humankind…and flubbing and screwing up and patching and improvising…and ending up with some in-teresting stuff.
I've got over an hour of music stored in an iTunes folder. Every note of it selected, struck, plucked, bowed, strummed or sampled by yours truly. Using virtual instruments, of course, since I'd be virtually useless if you gave me a real one. Sue me, I'm an eejit savant.
So far this one is our favorite. Hand's down. A bit of spoken word but just about all instrumental.
I call it "The Departed" and dedicate it to absent friends.
And awayyyyy we go…

Re: Insane PC Game DRM Drove Me To Piracy
I think he was right for what he did. He paid for it, can't play it, got no help from the people he purchased it from. I know of a similar story.
A friend of a friend purchased MS Office, (1998 I think) installed it and a few days later they came out with a new version. He called MS and asked if he could be upgraded to the new Office program and they told him no, if you want the new office you half to pay for it. He said they were rude and completely unwilling to help in any way. So he just went to a torrent site and downloaded the new Office program. From my understanding he still does this today. Personally I use Open Office and would never pay for (or steal) MS Office.

He gets an erection okay, but he is unable to come... even after hours of stimulation, oral sex, and intercourse. We desperately want a baby, but we need him to ejaculate. Is this normal?? Has anyone else had this problem, and is it fixable?
My bf has taken Viagra, and now Cialis, but can't ejaculate on either and we want a baby! Normal?

He is currently taking cialis, but it's for sexual dysfunction, not depression. Thanks for taking the time to answer!!
I wasn't very clear on my answer, sorry. Depression could cause Sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction can cause depression along with all the other mind altering moods. Being 75, it's a big hit on our manhood. age, PAD, late divorce got me, I think. The idea is still there. Good luck. Best to both of you.
The problem may also be the amount of pressure that he's under to perform.
How often are you "trying"? Every day? Every hour? Every time you make love? Some couples find that when they relax and quit "trying" so hard, that conception happens much more readily. This may also be the problem for ejaculation. I have to ask, does he masturbate? Is he able to climax from his own hand? If so, then that's half the battle. If not, a doctor is in order. Also, if he does climax, how often before he can attempt another climax? If you're constantly after him to climax and ejaculate, you may be "running the well down to empty faster than it can fill" if you forgive the expression. Some reduction in frequency and pressure might help.
Finally, are you REALLY sure that he's on board with wanting this child?
I have the same problem. My problem is caused by taking Cymbalta. Cialis gives me an erection, but I can't ejaculate. It's very frustrating. So I have to decide between the benefits of Cymbalta and my sex life. I take Cymbalta for Fybrmyalgia and Depression.

Not long ago I was having the same problem as your boyfriend. I have been taking effexor for depression for a year and a half. Found it to be better than other meds to regain sexual arousal than other anti depressants. Effexor still affects me, but viagra helped with remaining hard yet often unable to ejaculate.. Several months ago I was having muscle tone loss and sexual desire diminishing. Had testosterone checked and found out I was way below normal. Have been on testosterone for a month and a half and am doing much better. I almost am always able to ejaculate now. Hope this helps.

Outstanding quality

I have all three sizes of Dr. Slick hair stackers. They are well made and will outlast your great grand children! They are also nice and heavy to help generate force to straighten even the most difficult of hairs. Highly recommended.
SMAL Dr. Slick Hair Stacker
Reviewer: A viewer from Waynesville, MO US
I am a fairly new to fly tying; however enjoy tying the smallest of Dry-Flies. Noticing I needed a hair stacker, I did a little research and found Mr. Slick to be a quality piece of equipment. Upon inspecting it from the packaging I found it to be a well crafted with the durability to last a few life times. The small hair stacker is more than enough for the size 16 to 20 elk hair caddis flies I tie. You will not be disappointed by this purchase.
Great for kip (calf) tail
Reviewer: A viewer from Glendale, AZ US
I've always had trouble stacking calf tail... the krinkly hair is difficult to even. With the small stacker, you can apply a greater force and get a nice compact grouping with as even tips as you can expect with this material.

This residue was on two pieces of seat fabric that Stacey took from the hangar. Sanders had it analyzed at a laboratory. He now says he regrets not asking the lab simply to test for explosives, instead of giving him a breakdown of all the metals and chemical compounds in the residue. But a breakdown is what he got, and he says that missile manufacturers like Thiokol acknowledge that the chemical brew is found in missiles and the fuel that drives them. The FBI insists the residue is nothing but glue, used to refurbish the seats in that particular section of the plane.
Whatever the residue is, it has gotten Sanders, Stacey, and Sanders's wife, Liz, into serious legal trouble. After Sanders's missile theory was published in The Press-Enterprise newspaper in Riverside, California, and a month later in The Downing of TWA Flight 800, the FBI subpoenaed Sanders's phone records.
In doing so, Sanders says, they ignored his rights as a journalist. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Campbell insisted that the conditions were met for a subpoena to be issued for the phone records of a member of the media. Sanders says the FBI moved so quickly that he had no chance to challenge the subpoena, signed by Attorney General Janet Reno.
After the FBI found Stacey's name in the phone records, they questioned him and he agreed to cooperate in return for a reduced charge of misdemeanor theft. This was in June 1997. Strangely, the FBI permitted Stacey to remain part of the investigation, with access to the Calverton hangar, until they were ready to charge him, which didn't happen until December.
Stacey's guilty plea carries the risk of a one-year jail sentence and a fine of up to $100,000. He is scheduled to be sentenced in June. Sanders and his wife, Liz, an ex--TWA employee whose only role, she says, was to ask Stacey if he would speak to her husband, face up to 10 years in jail if they are convicted of charges of conspiracy to steal and theft of material from an aircraft accident. Their trial has yet to be scheduled.
Meanwhile, Sanders says that, partly as a result of learning about the holes in the wing debris, he has changed his mind to some degree about the accident. In his book he theorized that an unarmed missile had hit the plane. Now, he says, ''I no longer think the warhead was inert.''

Ref. PR-00771
According to research released today [7 January 2008] by specialist financial recruitment firm Robert Half Finance & Accounting and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), finance professionals are working longer hours yet are looking for more flexibility.
The CIMA/Robert Half Finance & Accounting Salary Survey 2008 was carried out online by an independent market research company during August and September 2007. In total 1935 CIMA finance professionals responded to the survey.
Whilst 84 per cent of the CIMA finance professionals surveyed stated that they are satisfied with their existing salary and benefits packages, almost a quarter (23 per cent) cited the option of flexible working arrangements as an extremely important element of a remuneration package. Only 37 per cent of these CIMA professionals are currently given the option of flexible hours by their current employer.
The survey clearly reveals that the longer working hours culture is still very much in existence for CIMA finance professionals across the UK today. More than half (51 per cent) of CIMA professionals surveyed said they work between 41 and 50 hours per week, 30 per cent work between 35 and 40 hours and just 4 per cent work less than 35 hours. A typical working week for a qualified CIMA professional is 44 hours per week.
More than one quarter (28 per cent) of the survey respondents stated that they work longer hours today than they did two years. This was attributed to taking on more responsibility and with it more pressure, according to 71 per cent of survey respondents. Over half (58 per cent) of those polled said they are working longer hours because their roles have changed. Nearly one-third (32 per cent) blamed understaffing for the increase hours, while 23 per cent cited company culture as the reason for more time spent on the job.
Phil Sheridan, UK Managing Director, Robert Half Finance & Accounting, said:
'Working too many hours ultimately undermines a team¿s productivity and can lead to higher turnover amongst finance staff. As a result, businesses risk losing good people. Today¿s finance professionals are looking for flexible working arrangements and may look for career opportunities elsewhere to achieve greater work/life balance.'
Rick Sturge, CIMA Director of Employer and Strategic Development, commented:
'Work/life balance is becoming increasingly important for today¿s professionals, and it is obvious that employers need to adjust their benefits packages to respond to this trend. As CIMA members are in such great demand, it is important for employers to offer a good all round package - not just financial, but work/life - to recruit and retain top performing staff.'
Other benefits that rated highly in importance for CIMA professionals include extra holidays and working from home, which were each cited by 14 per cent of all respondents.

Secret Oud by Caron
I am currently very fond of Eutopie's No. 2, and absolutely love the combination of a very fine, pure and beautiful rose top note with an incredibly dark, black, deep, intense oud wood resin musk base. This one is great, but I want more - does anyone have any recommendations of similar or comparable frangrances that can be worth looking at?
Thank you,
Secret Oud by Caron
Black Aoud by Montale would have to be tested.
Histoire de Parfums Edition Rare Rosam--Freaky amber rose
Ungaro III--Rose-vodka manic depressive
Whips and Roses (Kerosene)--Rose-tinted leather
Davidoff Zino - not all that much rose but it's present for sure.
Shiseido Basala - rich, dirty sandalwood base
Washington Tremlett Black Tie
Amouage Lyric Man
Voleur de Roses might be just the ticket.
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
As you and others have pointed out, rose + oud is a classic combo of Arabian perfumery. In the west, the above mentioned Montales (Black Aoud primarily, but also Oud Cuir d'Arabie and others), Dior Rose Ispahan, Amouage Lyric or Epic, etc. HdP Rosam, also mentioned above, is technically in the same neighborhood, but the base is weird, a metallic, bilgey note; it could click if you like aquatics.
In different directions, there's Tom Ford Noir de Noir (rose + chocolate) or the old staple, Estee Lauder Knowing (neon rose + moss. In the same style, the even stronger but now sadly defunct Montana Parfum de Peau and Sinan).

A tricky combo. If the oud is too intense, the rose accord gets overwhelmed. My current favorite pair:

Another vote for TF Noir de Noir.
Maybe also check out Mancera - Roses Vanille? A sweet rose / vanilla combo on a woody cedar base.
I'm not convinced that oud alone can yield that dark, deep experience that Eutopie No. 2 has and which I am after (and no, I'm not really into aquatics), I think that saffron's contribution is good but also these resins and incenses and dark woods do the trick. Will definitely be a journey to find that out for me, yet an extremely interesting and pleasant one, making sure I also take the chocolate detour
Thank you,

Rose Oud
Does Ungaro II have a prominent rose scent...? Problem anyway surely is to find it in the first place...
I am not familiar with Esencia Loewe, will give it a try!
Again, thank you allnso much!!!
Some of the Montales are very dark - their oud reproduction is heavy on the woody-cedary side, with little sweetness, especially Black Aoud or Oud Cuir d'Arabie). Saffron is often present too. The most saffrony of the lot is probably Montale Aoud Lime.
But it is true that some other oud reproductions, especially from other brands, have more pronunced sweetness rather than darkness.
Thanks again cacio.
Montale really is a house I wanted to make myself familiar with for quite some time, so now even more with this current idea seems to be a good time.
I agree with Whips and Roses, Noir de Noir, and Black Aoud, though I've never smelled them, all the reviews indicate they are quite dark and interesting. Also, incense rose may be up your alley.
I should warn that while certainly worth trying, Tauer's Incense Rose had a decided potpourri effect, especially in the first half as the citrus mingles with the rose and spices. Not quite the edge I was looking for, but your experience may vary. (For what it's worth, I didn't get much of a potpourri vibe from Paestrum Rose, but rather a radiant, peppery/spicy and tangy rose. Good stuff.)
Warning- I'm about to be one of those insufferable members who suggest things that are nigh on impossible to find these days but here goes: L'Arte di Gucci.
Sync'in and Think'in in 2015!
Thanks for the warning. I'm not too fond of potpourris either (good to hear that my memory re Paestum Rose may not be correct, I will give it another try tomorrow), but agree that Tauer should be worth trying, even more now that expectations are corrected

400 years ago, King James I encouraged his fellow Brits to worship in any church they wished, as long as it was the Church of England. Everyone else was persecuted.
One group, the Separatists (whom we usually call Pilgrims) left England for the Netherlands, in search of religious liberty. In the Netherlands, they did have religious freedom, but were treated as second class citizens; they did not have economic freedom. The Separatists decided there was only one final option: travel to edge of the world. Obtaining financing and a charter to establish a colony in the Virginia area, 102 people set off on the tiny ship, the Mayflower.
The voyage was not an easy one. Miraculously, only two people died on the crossing. One of those was a sailor, who swore and cussed frequently. The Separatists warned him that he would bring a curse upon their ocean voyage, but he did not listen. He was washed away during a storm.
A similar incident occurred to John Howland, my ancestor. He was an indentured servant to John Carver. During a major storm, he was on deck trying to take a message from Governor Carver to the ship's captain. A large wave hit the deck and carried him overboard. By a stroke of Providence, he was able to grab hold of a rope as he was swept overboard, and held on underwater for several minutes until the sailors could haul him back aboard.
Arriving to the Americas, the Pilgrims found the storms had pushed them further north than they planned. It was too late in the year to travel down to Virginia, and so they established a new charter for the group: the Mayflower Compact. This covenant was signed by 41 men. In William Bradford's handwriting, the charter reads:
In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, defender of the Faith, etc.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEThursday, August 22, 2013
DMV 2 Go Returns to Virginia Beach to Serve Veterans and the Community
DMV Office on Wheels to Visit Veterans Center at Pembroke Office Park
RICHMOND - The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles' mobile customer service center, called DMV 2 Go, will return to Virginia Beach offering all DMV services outside the Department of Veterans Services (DVS) Virginia Beach Field Office. On Wednesday, September 4 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., DMV 2 Go will be open for business in the parking lot of the Pembroke 2 office building at 287 Independence Boulevard in Virginia Beach. A ribbon-cutting ceremony highlighting continued 2013 quarterly service at the DVS Virginia Beach Field Office will be held at 2 p.m. Legislators and local leaders are invited to attend.
The full service office provides all DMV transactions including applying for and renewing driver's licenses and ID cards. Road and knowledge tests are available, and applicants may get their pictures taken and complete vision screenings. Veterans can also apply for Virginia's new veterans ID card, a joint effort of DVS and DMV that allows veterans to prove their veteran status in order to receive discounts from businesses.
"Our mobile offices bring DMV services to veterans, military members and all other citizens in every corner of the Commonwealth at a time and place that are convenient to them," said DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb. "The mobile office staff has completed nearly 300 transactions in four previous visits to the DVS Virginia Beach Field Office, so we know customers in this area are enjoying this service option."
DMV 2 Go will be open for veterans and the general public alike. Customers are encouraged to research and bring the required documents to complete their transactions. To determine what documents are needed, use the interactive document guide at www.dmvNOW.com.
For more details, scheduling information, and a calendar of upcoming locations, visit www.dmvNOW.com/DMV2GO.

KTM Value
When comparing KTM 990 Adventure R w bikes such as Triumph 800xc, I wonder why it's tougher to buy into the KTM. Can someone point out why the KTM costs more?
Triumphs IMO are fine bikes, but you don't have to look very far into the KTM to see where the money is spent. WP suspension is a great place to start. That and the fact that the big 990 will suck the paint off the little Triumph :-)
yesterday i rode a new triumph 800xc back to back with a 05 950 adv. the 950 with 30k on it was faster and the suspension more adjustable for whatever the conditions. the 800xc was a sheep in wolf's clothing.
"Because they don't need it."
Also, they come stock with Brembo's.
Because of this:
Some riders are satisfied to purrrr like a kitty, meow meow. That's how Triumph stays in business.
Others want that feeling, you know it. The one that starts at the foot pegs, migrates up through the frame, fuel tank, into the thighs, all the while assaulting the ears, causing the heart to oscillate in the upper chest. It starts at about 4500 rpm and builds from there. Pavement, sand, mud, or rocks. The existential connection between the pleasure centers of the brain and throttle, right hand. 990R
I can't afford a Porsche Carrera. I can afford a 990R.
If I'm not mistaken, some of the Triumphs and other higher end bikes come with Ohlins and Brembos. And the KTMs aren't that much more expensive any more, especially compared to the BMWs and whatnot. The White Powers (depending on who you ask) are comparable to the Ohlins, although the Ohlins cost a lot of bread.
:rofl I was with ya until the last line. The 990 is great at what it does but it's nothing close to a Carrera, RSV4 or even my 1198S. But that's okay since it does put it in a league of it's own. :freaky
Its the real deal
I like what I am reading i.e. 990 is the "real deal" and it has "soul" and that is awesome because it is affirming what I thought after shopping for bikes last week. Thanks everyone for giving me that final push to go up to the dealer and put my cash on the barrel head :clap
The KTM presents a much better value for what it costs, IMHO.....you won't need nearly the farkles to get the performance and value with it....:wink:
- Brembo brakes (not the best ones for the road IMO but great on the dirt if maintained well)
- Full adjustable WP suspension (48mm front on the KTM vs 45mm on the Tiger)
- Hydraulic clutch (IMO a must for the dirt)
- Excel wheels (some people managed to bend em, i still have to achieve that)
- V-twin = more torque (off-road torque is king!)
- More power (better engine for off-road and road, hands down. But i'm a LC8 fan so i may be biased :D)
- 265mm suspension travel front AND back on certain models and years (Triumph 220mm front and 215mm back - do you need the extra travel? I do since i bottom the 950S out already)
- 207kg vs 215kg (and the Tiger comes with weak handguards and a sucky ass bashplate vs KTM's sturdy handguards and bad-ass bashplate - it's still lighter!)
Basiclly, the KTM is kitted out better, suits off-road more then any dualsport on the market AND brings the most riding fun of them all.
Do you want to ride the pavement more -> pick any other dual-purpose for a lower price.
Do you want to rip the dirt more often and more extreme -> KTM adventure is the way to go. 990s/950s/990R preferable for the longer suspension travel.
Maintenance wise it's better do be a DIY guy on the KTM. I don't know the cost of the Tiger but the KTM costs an arm and a leg on big services if you can't do them yourself.
If you CAN do them yourself it's dirt cheap to maintain for the fun u get out of it. AND it is an easy bike to work on, not a fast one (at all lol) but it's put togeather very simple and intuitive.
Also, the knowledge gathered on this site about the Adventure is quite endless and good expertise is not hard to find here either.
Buuuutttttt.......some guys get that accessories disease, and even though their KTM works worlds better than most bikes, they feel a need to put all kinds of bullshit on it, quite a lot of which doesn't make it go any faster, stop any better, make it any more reliable, and most of that stuff you'll never get your money back on, stock is usually worth more.
On my 950, I put a jetting kit, a set of slip ons, which probably don't do anything more than make more noise, the highest quality chain in the world, and I keep good tires on it, and that's it. There's skid plates, luggage, lighting, seats, big tanks, different size wheels, replacement shocks, just all kinds of shit, that is basically unnecessary. They work pretty good as they are from the factory.
Have you ridden both?
I struggle with short test rides. A rider just can't get a real feel for a bike in only a few short miles. But after owning my 990 R for about 5 months now I know for me it was the right choice. I think cost and the type of riding a person is buying the bike for, is the reason some would choose the 990 over the Triumph and some wouldn't.
I'm not knockin' the 800 XC,, it's a great bike. A very refined triple cylinder motor, likely, one of the smoothest motors built. Several friends of mine own one and they all seem very happy with the bike. In fact one of my friends whom I respect very much didn't like the 990 due to the fact that it didn't have enough gauges on the dash cluster. I mean,, come on no "Fuel" gauge on a $14,000 ADV bike? :lol3
I prefer some of my motorcycles to be just a tad bit truculent.

Brazilian security services on Wednesday detained a man who sneaked into Argentina's World Cup training camp to seek Lionel Messi's autograph, witnesses said.
The 33-year-old Brazilian was spotted jumping onto the pitch as more than 200 journalists gathered for a team press conference at the America stadium near Belo Horizonte, an AFP photographer said.
Last week, the same man was pictured receiving a t-shirt from Messi after cleaning his boots at the training camp. The man told police he wanted to get the shirt signed.
The man was seen crying as security forces forces led him away.

Mammoth bone £420
This is a Woolly Mammoth bone I caught on my rod while angling in the Wisla river in Poland around 10 years ago. The Jagiellonian University in Krakow estimates that its age is between 15,000 - 50,000 years old. It is the lower part of the front rig
