Would not recommend
Stinky with hairs in the bed
The room reeked of cigarette smoke, and we found someone's hair in the bed when we pulled the sheets back. Seeing as we checked in at midnight we didn't complain to the staff to see if they could move us to a cleaner room, but it was disappointing
to say the least. Further they jacked us for outdoor parking even though it was seemingly 5k from the airport with nothing of interest nearby. I've had good experiences at Novotel in the past but this was disappointing.
Does Not Deserve 4 Star Rating
I wish I had read and listen to the negative reviews on this hotel before I spent a week there. The negative reviews were right on track on the poor service and poor facilities.
The one redeeming virtue is that the restaurant was good - which is
a good thing because there is no where else to eat that is close.
In fact there is nothing close except a trolley stop that will get you to centre city for 3 euros.
The room was uncomfortable and hot. The air conditioning did not work and the surely manager advised that I just "open the window." It was hotter outside.
The service was poor and the front desk crew often rude and short. The WIFI was incredibly slow - it was like being on dial up.
All and all my stay at this place was miserable. Motel 6 miserable. Do yourself a favor - look away from the 4 stars and find somewhere else to stay.
Would recommend
fine hotel for airport traveling
Perfect stay - except for the housekeeping - it could be more tidy

HAMLET — Police have arrested the second suspect accused in a check fraud scheme.
William Anthony Jamison was arrested Monday on an outstanding warrant and placed in the Richmond County Detention Center under a $30,000 secured bond.
The arrest dates back to July 31 when Hamlet police investigated a fraud case at BB&T where another suspect, Anquilla Douglas, allegedly cashed several bad checks written by Jamison totaling $1,500.
Douglas and Jamison were charged with four counts each of obtaining money or property by false pretense and four counts each of conspiracy to obtain property by false pretense.
Douglas was arrested at that time and placed in the Richmond County Detention Center under a $10,000 secured bond, but Jamison remained at large until his arrest Monday.

(yes, they atually do test before they go live)
They really screwed-up on that one then (sorry no smiley, you know my feelings on those smilies).
Actually, I have something positive to say about this new forum. I just clicked on my own profile and then clicked on "View all posts by this member", and the way it categorised the search automatically was absolutely first class, really nice! Rather than just list in chronological order, it separated my posts into the threads I've been posting in, and I can even see at a glance how many posts I made in each thread because they get stacked under the title of each thread.
Yup, I think that's very nice (good design), which makes it all the more puzzling that we don't have such basics as being able to get back to the Bryce Index from the top and bottom of a thread. It's as if someone who understands this stuff went on holiday and let a novice take over for a while, and they forgot about that part.
So, I take back a bit of what I said, but the part about the missing essentials is still very relevant for comfortable use of the forum.

|Burleson back in Lions' lineup against Buccaneers
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 24 November 2013 07:27
Burleson says he was distracted by pizza boxes sliding off the front passenger seat before his car hit a wall.
The Lions also have running back Joique Bell and safety Glover Quin in the lineup Sunday. Both were listed as questionable with Achilles tendon injuries. Detroit defensive end Ezekiel ''Ziggy'' Ansah (left ankle) and cornerback Bill Bentley (knee) are healthy enough to play after missing the previous two games.
The Buccaneers are starting Keith Tandy in place of suspended safety Dashon Goldson. Tampa Bay linebacker Adam Hayward and left guard Jamon Meredith are replacing previously ruled out starters Mason Foster and Carl Nicks.

Also scheduled to become unrestricted free agents are starting safety Kendrick Lewis, starting defensive end Tyson Jackson and part-time starting offensive linemen Jon Asamoah and Geoff Schwartz.
Dorsey did say that he's having ``ongoing conversations'' with representatives of all of the Chiefs' free agents. The free agency period begins March 11.

tekgoblin writes "The battle between Apple and Samsung has just heated up again. Samsung has filed a complaint to the International Trade Commission to ban import of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod products to the U.S. From the article: 'Samsung, the world's second-largest maker of mobile phones whose Galaxy devices compete with the iPhone and iPad, claims Apple is infringing five patents, according to a filing with the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington yesterday. The ITC, which can block imports of products found to violate U.S. patents, must decide if it will investigate Samsung's claims.'"

He informed the farmers that they could lodge their complaints with the grievances cell of the Bank.
He also informed that the Bank would hand over the loan waiver certificates to the farmers from July 8 onwards.

A survey published yesterday by accountancy firm KPMG shows deal-makers in Scotland remain optimistic merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will increase in the coming 18 months, although few see potential for greater deal action in the hospitality sector.
All of the deal-makers surveyed at KPMG's recent M&A forums in Glasgow and Aberdeen expected to be involved in deal activity to some degree in the next 18 months. Medium-sized businesses with annual turnover of less than £100 million in the food and drink and traditional energy sectors were viewed as most likely to be involved in M&A action.
But only three per cent of deal-makers were confident the hospitality sector would see increased deal activity.
James Kergon, transaction services director for KPMG in Scotland, said: "With businesses having struggled with tight margins and aggressive price-cutting, we are now starting to see signs of consolidation in the food and drink sector. The feedback we are seeing suggests companies which have survived the worst of the downturn could now be prime candidates for buyers, pointing to a renewed sense of confidence in that sector.
"However, a continuing lack of confidence in Scotland's hospitality and tourism sector is surprising."
He added: "In the traditional energy sector, we're increasingly seeing large international companies acquiring Scottish oilfield services businesses."

I actually think khans lack of power is the problem
People talk about his chin, but the kid doesn't have power either
You rarely see khan hurt anyone with head punches.
First two rounds against garcia, khan landed **** loads of flush shots on garcia, but garcia took them in order to get his own counters off
Now in that situation replace khan with a pacquiao or a mosley, garcia would have been knocked out
Also when khan got up from the knockdown, again he was catching garcia flush on the chin, but again barely any effect
When berto knocked ortiz down it was the same situation except ortiz had power and was able to brutally drop berto and discourage him.
The combination of poor chin and power is a real handicap
Business Decisions
He has decent pop its just it seems like he is trying to do a poor Pac impersonation and is jumping in with quick slapping punches and then jump out and around only problem is Pac can move in and out like that with force on his shots while Amir can't.

Amir has just above average power. He needs to learn that he can stop people in the later rounds by breaking them down he doesnt need to go full out for the KO early

He's not a puncher, which he seems to think he is. At least he did against Garcia.

If he was trying to punch properly, he would be punching considerably harder, but he also wouldn't be landing as frequently.
That's why people often compare his style to amateurs. His style hasn't evolved to a pro one.

I aways thought conditioning was a problem for Khan. He can be dominant in the early rounds but often allows an opponent back into the fight during the second half. In bouts with Maidana and Peterson the first few rounds it was obvious he had better skills but as the fight progressed he ceased his movement and became more flat footed, often being forced to trade punches. Admittedly if had more power he might not have to go the extra rounds but the inability to follow a game plan the second half of a fight often comes down to conditioning.

Another reason why this happen is because he has a lack of ability to adjust.

It's because he wastes punches. He throws needless combinations. He threw a lead left hook, right uppercut when he got caught by Garcia - wtf kinda dumbass combo is that? When a 1-2 would've kept Garcia pretty helpless
Roach has trained him to be a Pacquiao-esque flurrying puncher. It works for Pacquiao because he can hurt you even with those kinds of flurries.
If Khan would just calm down, throw less, stick the jab and sit on his punches more - he'd be a pretty formidable fighter.
The Paulie Malignaggi fight is the blueprint for me. He beat Paulie basically with a stiff jab and eventually broke him down to the point where he could throw bigger combos n get the stoppage. That's when I believed Roach was doing the right things with him but they seemed to deviate from that towards the end...

Hi Sky_Boy, thanks for the tip. However, in the case of the serve I want to keep the toss low in order to keep it as simple as possible (think: Roscoe Tanner, etc.). I'm not actually worried about my serve at this time. It could be a lot better of course, but it's very consistent, and a very easy motion for me the way I do it now. Against 4.0 to 3.5+ it's effective enough to get me into the point. Against weak 3.5 and below it's a weapon.
Of course, when everything gets stronger and the hand/wrist heals fully, then I want to try to do some things (which will probably involve experimenting with a slightly higher toss) to improve it that I can't really do effectively now. Ie., bend into the court, point (bring feet together), knee bend, and extending more (maybe even jumping a little) into contacting the ball.

Risotto is the Nothern Italian pasta - where Romans eat pasta every day without fail, Venetians eat risotto. Always use short grain rice like Arborio or Carnaroli and be patient. This creamy rice dish takes time and effort, but is so incredibly worth it! Let's be honest, "stirring constantly" is an exaggeration - you definitely can't leave the stove unmanned (or unwomanned?) but constantly is a bit overkill. Stir every minute or so while catching up with your family, take a sip of wine, stir it again, have some bruschetta and stir - you get the picture.
Chanterelle, Oyster and Porcini Mushroom Risotto
The quintessential risotto - al funghi. A personal favorite.
Radicchio Risotto
More from the central region of Italy, the slight bitterness of the radicchio is cooked away, leaving a delicious and creamy dish.
Risotto with Peas and Prosciutto
The perfect combination of sweet and salty.
Risotto alla Milanese
Literally "risotto of Milan", this dish is flavored with Marsala wine and saffron.
Truffle Risotto
A classic combination - you can also use truffle oil (I recommend white instead of black truffles).
Champagne Risotto with Asparagus and Pancetta
With sparkling wine and fresh asparagus, this recipe is bursting with the flavors of spring and early summer.
Artichoke Risotto
Buttery-earthy artichokes have met their match in this creamy Italian dish.
Asparagus Lemon Risotto
A classic version of this Northern Italian favorite.
Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto
Sweet and caramel-y, this risotto is perfect for late summer and early fall.
Fennel Risotto with Pistachios
Perfect for early summer.

Don't Lose Your Belongings
Tools and tricks for keeping track of everything from toys to keys to just-washed socks.
Your Wallet and More
- Choose a wallet in a vivid color, so it stands out inside your dark purse. Keep it in a zippered pocket, and always return it there.
- Try not to change bags too often. "Transferring between purses creates more opportunities for losing stuff," says Lisa Zaslow, owner of Gotham Organizers, in New York City.
TV Remote
- Use Velcro to attach the remote to the side of the TV when it's not in use.
- Use an electronic finder system.
- If you primarily wear your sunglasses for driving, "leave them in the car," says James O'Connor, president of Clutter Control, a home-organization service in Lake Forest, Illinois. "Or designate a place for them near the front or back door. Don't bring them any further into your home, where they may be misplaced."
- Designate a fabric-lined tray for your reading glasses next to your chair or nightstand. Don't set them down anywhere else.
- Use an eyeglass chain to keep your specs securely on your neck ($18 and up, snootyjewelry.com).
- Get eyeglass cases in bright colors to make locating them easier.
Credit Cards
- Keep all your credit cards in the same wallet.
- When making a purchase, keep your card in view at all times, and ask for it back as soon as the cashier has completed the transaction.
- Photocopy your cards, front and back, making sure the customer-service phone numbers are legible. Put the copies in your filing cabinet under C. If you need to cancel a card, you'll have all the necessary numbers ready.
Cell Phone
- Always store your phone in the same pocket of your purse.
- Keep your phone in a case and "use the clip on the case to attach it to the pocket," says Nokia's Keith Nowak. "If the purse tips over, the phone won't go flying out."
- Always keep your charger plugged into the same outlet, preferably one in plain view.

Latest Devon Island Stories
The KEFTY Company announces today that its revolutionary home exerciser system has been selected by the Mars Institute for use in Summer 2011 onboard concept rovers for future human Moon and Mars exploration operated by the Haughton-Mars Project on Devon Island, High Arctic. St Paul (PRWEB) December 4, 2010 The KEFTY Company announces today that its revolutionary home exerciser system has been selected by the Mars Institute for use in Summer 2011 onboard concept rovers for future human Moon...
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- A remote Canadian island is being used to simulate isolated space flight conditions for a NASA-funded medical research study that could produce important information to assist astronauts in potential long duration flights to Mars or an asteroid. The Haughton-Mars Project Research Station on Devon Island, well above the Arctic Circle, has many features of isolation and terrain that make it an ideal environment to simulate some conditions of space...
Close to 50 years of data show the Devon Island ice cap, one of the largest ice masses in the Canadian High Arctic, is thinning and shrinking.
Scientists from Canada and the US have discovered the skeleton of a previously unknown web-footed carnivore in Canada's Arctic.
NASA scientists plan to drill someday into the surface of Mars to look for water and signs of possible life. So, scientists are developing an automated, unmanned drill rig that can operate totally on its own, unsupervised for hours at a time.
Meteor impacts are generally regarded as monstrous killers and one of the causes of mass extinctions throughout the history of life. But there is a chance the heavy bombardment of Earth by meteors during the planet's youth actually spurred early life on our planet, say Canadian geologists.

Learn with Pokemon: A Typing of Adventure is the latest 'Pokemon' themed game to be released within Europe and its the first game that includes a reasonably sized QWERTY Keyboard thats for use with the Nintendo DS / 3DS Consoles.
The aim of Learn With Pokemon: A Typing Adventure, or Pokemon: Typing Adventure for short, is to reasearch pokemon by typing their names – this can be done via the included QWERTY Keyboard or by using the touch-screen on the DS itself.
The game starts off very simplistic by asking players to enter the first letter of a Pokemon's name, for instance – if a Pikachu appeared – all you need to do is enter P, however during the cource of the game you'll be asked to enter more letters – until finally you have to type the pokemon's full name.
The game itself can be extremely short, as i completed the main quest in well under 2 hours, however it does offer a variety of different styles of gameplay, such as Boss Battles, Never ending walks and hidden routes. Another part of the game is where name's of Pokemon aren't displayed and its up to the player to name them, so if you are familar with Pokemon then the game can be easy, if not it can be difficult.
During the course of the game players can reasearch over 400 different Pokemon and all of them, with the exception for Boss Battles, will appear at random times, so each gameplay route is never the same, which is a good thing as it adds more replay value to the people who want to 'catch them all'.
Gameplay aside the main attraction is the Nintendo Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard – as the keyboard is reasonably sized, takes 2x AA Batteries and feels extremely comfortable to use- but more importantly it can be used with multiple bluetooth compatible devices, including the iPad & Playstation 3, which i've demonstrated here.
In my personal oppinion Learn With Pokemon: A Typing Adventure is worth its current retail price of £44.99 if you plan to use the keyboard on other devices, however the DS Game itself can be rather short-lived – but it does have replay value with over 400 different Pokemon available to reasearch and many routes to explore.

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 3/20/13
Many die-hard cheese heads were heart-broken when Steven Jackson signed with the Atlanta Falcons last week. After having a non-effective run game last season, Ted Thompson now has to look at how he wants to improve this coming season. The quickest solution would be to sign a free agent who already knows the system and would probably come at a price they would be happy to spend. Enter Ryan Grant. Now this solution would be just as effective as it would have been to apply a band-aid to Joe Theisman's leg back in 1985, but after letting one of the best free agent backs leave your facility without a contract your time has effectively been wasted and free agent market slimmed...

Rory McIlroy's mistakes costly in opening round 72
Updated: April 11, 2013, 9:37 PM ETAssociated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The 18-footer for birdie on the final hole slid by on the left, another chance lost on a day filled with missed opportunities. Rory McIlroy walked off the green and gave his putter a gentle spank, as if to punish it for letting him down when he needed it most.
His even-par 72 wasn't awful by any means and might have been a score he would have settled for in another Masters. But on a day when 32 players broke par, the No. 2 player in the world wasn't exactly pleased.

What if Malcolm was silent?
What if Martin was violent?
from Jadakiss (Ft. Nas) – What If Lyrics on Genius
The two central figures in the Black resistance during the 1960's were Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Each had their own philosophies on conquering the oppression inflicted upon black Americans. Martin's was civil disobedience, Malcolm's was black nationalism, and self-defense, but his later evolved after his trip to Mecca into something more compatible with MLK's line of thinking. However, Malcolm still stood by his mantra of 'By any means necessary'
Jadakiss proposes a reversal in ideology between the two figures; What if the more prominent figure, MLK Jr. was the violent one? What would the outcome be?

McNeil Cottage is a two bedroom, live-in, furnished cottage (except sheets and towels) that sleeps four to six comfortably. Nestled in a cove, insulated from most water traffic it is great for water play, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, boating, water skiing or building sand castles on its modest beach area. The lake side of the cottage has large windows for unobstructed views of the lake (including spectacular sunsets) with a large wrap-around deck for lounging enjoyment.
The lake is clean with sandy bottom and supports a variety of fish and fowl and is large enough that all types of water sports and crafts can be enjoyed.
Keywords: Lakefront Family Cottage
I (Randy) am an audio & lighting production contractor/engineer and my wife (Sheila) is a family services site coodinator in Traverse City, Michigan. The cottage has been in the family since the mid seventies and we aquired it in 1995. Since then our family has enjoyed and so much looked forward to our time spent at the McNeil Cottage each and every year, and urge anyone looking for a relaxing, unplugged vacation on one of the most beautiful lakes in Michigan to try Lake Leelanau and the McNeil Cottage.
Randall Nash purchased this cottage in 1993
If you enjoy a relaxing, unplugged (no cable, no phone, no internet) vacation where the days become yours and a midnight swim or breakfast at the waters edge or enjoying a romantic, captivating fire under a star-lit sky warms your heart, then you're here.
The lake is large, beautiful and supports all water related activities. The sunsets are to die for and the ambience is 'On Golden Pond'. Due partly to the fact that we are unplugged and that natures wonders surround us, it is much like taking a step backwards in time, shedding the stresses of todays world and simply finding joy in watching a family of Swans meandering about or a crayfish playing hide & seek at the waters edge or losing yourself in a good book while the sunset dances on your face. It is truely a world away from the hustle bustle, fast paced world in which we live. It is a place that we love!
Have always enjoyed their stay at McNeil cottage. Third year in a row & just booked another week for 2004.
We have stayed at the McNeil cottage in the past and came again this year because it is so comfortable and easy to stay. The setting on the water is perfect for families with and without boats. The water is so shallow that it's easy to allow kids to have fun. The yard is big enough to enjoy bon fires and run around playing games safely at the same time. We have nothing that could even be improved...it's perfect for us.
The cottage was extremely clean and very roomy. There is a huge family room with lots of windows and seating to look out at the lake (Owner should add a picture of this room). The kitchen had enough room to prepare all our meals and was stocked with lots of little extras like foil, spices, cooking spray, trash bags, etc. The gas grill was very clean and cooked our food better than my own grill at home! The bedrooms were small (as expected), but the beds and sleeper sofa were very comfortable. Bathroom was huge for a cottage and the new shower/tub combo was great for bathing young kids. There is a 20 food wide sandy area that goes into the water, but really isn't big enough for kids to dig, play sand castle, etc. If it is windy or speed boats are out, the sandy area gets waves right up to the grass. The weather did not cooperate; it was very windy and cold. And since the lot faces north, very shady in August. The shade and breeze would have been awesome this summer when the rest of Michigan was 100 degrees! I'm sure the sun sets and sun bathing areas would be nicer May-July. Fire pit was awesome and lots of wood was provided. Row boat was a nice extra and we had lots of fun in the morning before it warmed up; the "Narrows" are beautiful. All-in-all it was good time.
My mom had rented out this cottage for our first ever Labor Day weekend vacation with our family. We had a wonderful time and found it very hard to leave. The cottage itself was very nice and well maintained. The property is beautiful and the lake is huge! I would definately come back. I miss it already! Hopefully we have found a new family tradition.
Leland, which is directly across the lake by water or 5 miles by car, is a quaint fish town located between Lake Leelanau and Lake Michigan with numerous restaurants, shops, marina, beach, golf course, etc. always a fun excursion.

Was Mandlikova basically a lesser Navratilova, but with Evert's basline craft?

I dont think she would have achieved all that much after 1981 even without her health problems. Her game was incredibly limited, what she excelled at she did very well but that was all she could do. Her serve was pitiful even for 70s standards, her volleys or attempts at them, lol, she had absolutely no variety, no real feel for the ball or any finesse shots, and her hitting patterns from the baseline were so unoriginal, the same crosscourt or down the line drills repeatedly. She makes Evert who some suggest is limited look like an incredibly complete player with so many dimensions by comparision. OK I admit I might be a bit biased since I really hate watching Tracy play in any of the old videos I saw, I find her game incredibly numbing and boring. I actually love her as a commentator today, way better than Evert or Navratilova IMO, I think I am a big fan of Tracy the person but not Tracy the tennis player, even though I acknowledge she was a great and unfortunate one.
I guess she could have won a few hard court slams spread out over time and ended up with say 5 slams or something in that area had she stayed healthy, but she would have never had the serious challenge to being #1 like she did in 1980 and 1981 ever again IMO. Her game just didnt have much capacity for growth at all, and I think that was part of her decline in 1982 and 1983, it wasnt just her health problems, she couldnt keep up with the new athletic standard Navratilova was setting, Evert was trying to follow, and the improvements Mandlikova, Jaeger, Shriver, and others were making. Plus people figured out how to play her, her game was so simplistic in nature, it was only a matter of time that happened. I think Evert cracked the code on how to play Austin in that 1980 U.S Open upset over Tracy who was starting to be considered the dominant player at the time, and other players started to follow suit.
I think you need to give Tracy Austin more credit she was right up there with Chris and Martina in the lae 1970s and early 1980s. Tracy had the mental toughness that Pam Shriver and the rest of the WTA lacked. Tracy was so mentally strong she just a tiny girl but she could hit the ball a ton. Tracy was so strong she had a 9-8 winning head to head against Chris Evert. Tracy also proved she was NO FLUKE her 1979 US OPEN victory. In 1981 Tracy did it again defeating Martina Navratilova 7-6 in the third to win her second US OPEN. It is such a shame that injuries did Tracy in. Tracy says when she was young Billie Jean King told her to do stretches and warm up her body prior to matches but she didn't listen. I think when Tracy was a teenager she thought she was invincible and on the tennis court she was.

A global volunteer organization working to improve the lives of women and
Transformation: A View from Spruce Street
Blazing trails and creating social change is nothing new to Soroptimists. For more than 90 years it has been a part of our DNA. And yet, as times and needs change, so must our organization.
Two years ago our board adopted Shaping Our Future an internal change management model to evolve and advance our organization as we prepare to advance our mission in the next century.
Shaping our Future is about:
These are the changes we want to make to Shape our Future. It is what success looks like to SIA: a financially healthy organization with a strong base of engaged, fulfilled members and supporters working together to improve the lives of women and girls through programs with measurable impact. We began Shaping our Future by gaining clarity about our direction to better focus our clubs and members on the service they carry out.Over the last two years, the board has provided that clarity. They have fine-tuned our vision, our mission, our core values and our organization-wide strategic plan to keep us moving toward a successful future.
Soroptimist measures its success by following our Strategic Plan, which guides the work and focus of our organization. It defines how we work toward our vision of a world where women and girls have the resources and opportunities to reach their full potential.
Today, our strategic goals are:
All our goals are meant to accomplish our 10-15 year goal – or BIG goal of "increased collective impact. " And these goals should be the regions' and clubs' goals as well.
Now that we have reviewed the internal organization-wide change of Shaping our Future, let's look at the external change we are trying to make – that of Increased Collective Impact.
What does Increased Collective Impact look like?
Yes, it's that simple:
This is what our BIG goal, Increased Collective Impact, stands for.
Today, SIA wants to continue to carry out its mission and be well-known for the social change we make. But to do that, we have to know what our Soroptimist brand stands for, because if Soroptimist stands for too many things, we stand for nothing at all.
At the very heart of what Soroptimist stands for are:
We focus on women and girls because in every country in the world, both developed and developing, women and girls face discrimination simply because of their gender. As a women's organization, we are uniquely qualified to break down those barriers so women and girls can lead fulfilling and productive lives.
Education is the greatest equalizer. Knowledge provides wisdom and understanding, breeding the power to take charge of one's life. That's the power we refer to in our mission...improving the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment. Our club projects should be supporting our brand and our core value of women and girls deserving to lead full and productive lives through access to education.
Another core value of our organization is for women and girls to be free to act in their own best interest. This is key if women and girls are to achieve their goals in life. But there's another aspect to this quality that applies to us, the members working on behalf of other women and girls.
True empowerment begins in our own lives by transforming our limited beliefs…creating change on the inside to create change on the outside. If our organization is to transform, we must perform, first by creating change within ourselves, then within our organization … much like the way we enable the women and girls we serve.
As a group of 33,000 passionate members in 1300+ clubs, we work broadly on women's issues. But we are diluting our power by working on every issue that might affect women and girls. I ask you to stay true to our brand and keep our heart—our brand identifiers of women and girls, education and empowerment—at the forefront of your club actions.
Are you with me? Are you able to make the change within yourself to help our organization make the transformation it needs to carry on its legacy? I think you are!
ONE. Clarity. As I shared before, we clarified and fine-tuned our direction. By clarifying what and how we want to achieve the world we envision, we can better focus our strategic efforts — coupled with a strong accountability system — to make it our reality. Feedback on our fine-tuned vision, mission and core values has been very positive.
TWO. Programs. We placed more emphasis on measuring and using our program outcomes. The most consistent and effective way we've done this is through our Live Your Dream Awards program, formerly the Women's Opportunity Awards. Last year we commissioned a report from the Fels Institute of Government, a research and consulting organization based at the University of Pennsylvania, to study the effectiveness of our cornerstone program.
The FELS impact study concluded the program helps women in four key areas: quality of life, building confidence, strengthening self-determination, and multiplying the cycle of growth.
How do we know all this? Because your headquarters staff keep in touch with our region award recipients. Three years out, we survey them; collect, compile and measure the impact and then report the outcomes. That is what it takes to measure our impact. As we expand to collecting information on all award recipients, we need your help to make sure headquarters has their contact information and the recipients know headquarters will contact them.
Because digital strategies have proven to be effective for our federation, over the last three years we have focused our marketing dollars and efforts there.
Through the Live Your Dream.org site we also implement the at-large Live Your Dream Awards program component; engage a new pool of volunteers; generate revenue through corporate sponsors, new donors and product sales; and continue to increase recognition of Soroptimist, its mission and programs.
FOUR. Resources. We are leveraging our goodwill for greater resources. We are excited to have our first major corporate sponsors, Royal Neighbors and Happify along with our loyal, long time sponsor Janney Montgomery and Adrienne Horen. We have been awarded a $10,000 ASAE Innovation Grant for LiveYourDream.org, and a $120,000 annual Google Grant that helps LiveYourDream.org extend its reach.
And thanks to your efforts, we have increased club giving by 21 percent over the last biennium. That's the power of our collective impact!
I am thrilled to know 714 clubs are giving at least 10 percent of what they raise locally to global federation programs. That's 67% of all clubs giving who embrace Soroptimist as their cause of choice. This is the kind of change we are talking about. It demonstrates working together and can truly help our organization increase its collective impact in the 20 countries and territories it serves.
FIVE. Impact. Lastly, and most importantly, the impact we have had in positively changing conditions for women and girls, locally and globally. Participation by clubs in our Live Your Dream Awards program increased to 80% of clubs participating.
This means we have been able to award 2,474 women totaling almost 3.4 million U.S. dollars in grants during the past two years. Our at-large awards program grew from granting 10 awards last year to 28 $1,000 USD grants this year. One of these at-large recipients went on to receive a region and federation award.
More clubs participating, more awards and more money disbursed to help women turn their lives around by getting the education and training they need to succeed. And it's all because of your contributions!
39/ \\ Clarity, \\ programs, \\ recognition, \\ resources, \\ impact …we ARE making progress with the changes that will led us to our organizational success. Although our transformation has just begun, our results are not only heading in the right direction, they are strong.
Why is this transformation so important? You see, as a global organization, we cannot fail to help women and girls beyond our own communities if we are to demonstrate the power of being united in making a measurable and sustained difference throughout our federation.
If you think about a wave, every wave has both a peak and a descent. The key to our transformation is being able to paddle together in the dip of the wave so that we are ready to ride the next crest.
Each and every one you has a part in building Soroptimist. We share common goals, and a common vision. We may have joined together for many different reasons, but our goals are the same, to be best for women - both the women and girls we serve, and ourselves.
We have talked today about the changes we are making and need to make to increase our collective impact. We live in a constantly changing world. Organizations that don't keep pace do not survive. We must transform to perform, which requires teamwork, focus and commitment. We have worked too long and too hard to let it slip away.
Whenever we talk about change and what we must do to stay strong and relevant, there is one thing we must ALWAYS keep in mind: the women and girls we help. They are real. And they need us.
Thank you for everything you do to help women and girls. And for your commitment to making change and keeping our organization strong, even when the change may be uncomfortable.
There's an African proverb, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." Let's go far. And let's do it together…making change throughout our organization a reality.

Unless you have some of the rarer pets it almost like a waste of time. Most pets these days are pretty easy to obtain.
Unless you have some of the rarer pets it almost like a waste of time. Most pets these days are pretty easy to obtain.
i know on the first day i sold 3 phoenix hatching (MGT pet) for 6k each... but now its not worth farming it, but if you can level your rare (chek the price of it at lvl 1) and level it, you can triple profit thats what im doing with my toxic wasteling its now lvl 23 :P ! going around 10-12k on my server
Same goes for Tyrael's Hilt, which is currently the rarest pet out there, 1.5mil at least.
To the OP - generally to sell these pets, you had to keep your invitational code card intact and unscratched, either from old, physical, Blizzcon goodie bags or other promotional events. You can still snatch about 10-15k for leveled Animuses or Darkmoon pets, especially Rabbit.
It's a potent market if you dedicate yourself to level pets. If you do dailies regularly and just farm your pets to level 24, you can quite easily sell lots of them on AH in 2k-3k price range.
some guy on my server buys and sells pet(i assume he goes to other servers to sell) and i made a good 200k gold off of him from all my pets(mostly all i sold were lvl 25) and a bunch of battle stones(500g each, made about 15k gold from that)
My guild mate claims he makes 10k a week off of hunting down rare quality pets and then selling them off. I'm seriously considering levelin up my pets to try that.
I play on multiple servers and generally use pets to 'transfer' gold around. On one server I can buy pets for cheap and sell them for many times more on another server.
A lot of my trade was done with Pandaren Spirits, but at the moment my supply of those exceed my sales, so lately I've been volumentrically discounting them to make up for the slower sales (and I've still got too many of them). I've occasionally turned a profit from buying and selling ToT pets, but that market isn't as good as it used to be (although thanks to that I did manage some good trade fodder, don't forget you can trade for something with these that you can later sell. I managed to secure some Vengeful Porcupettes for much lower their market value that way and Vengefuls sell like gangbusters on PvE servers).

Power Broker Hikind Praises Rory Lancman
Assemblyman has not yet endorsed in race to replace Rep. Ackerman
The Rep. Anthony Weiner bonanza; redistricting; and the impending retirement of Rep. Gary Ackerman have raised the possibility that New York City will go from having had four Jewish U.S. congressmen one year ago to only two (or, under a less likely scenario, one). Moreover, if Rory Lancman fails to defeat Grace Meng in the Democratic primary for Ackerman's old seat, there will be no Jewish congressmen from Queens, and only Rep. Jerrold Nadler's gerrymandered slice of Borough Park will maintain Jewish representation of Brooklyn in the House of Representatives.
Dov Hikind, a state assemblyman from Borough Park since 1982, seemed like a good person to speak with about this situation. A Democratic Orthodox Jew, he backed Rep. Bob Turner, the non-Jewish Republican, over David Weprin to replace Weiner in the soon-to-be-defunct Ninth District, for much the same reason as Hizzoner Ed Koch: to send a message to President Obama on Israel.
Hikind sounded a similar note yesterday. "It's not just that we need a Moskowitz there," he said—maybe or maybe not intentionally using the Jewish surname of the current Brooklyn borough president. "It's having a real friend. And sometimes, not all people who happen to be Jewish, as far as I'm concerned, are real friends."
Of Lancman, he opined, "There's no question on his record, his outspokenness, his willingness to stand up for relations between Israel and the United States. He is as solid as they come."
As examples of Jews who were not necessarily "real friends," Hikind cited several Jewish Democratic congresspersons (none from New York) who last week signed a J Street-backed letter calling on the administration to push for a two-state solution. "I want a person there who's committed," he continued, "who goes beyond the call of duty, who understands the significance of the relationship between the United States and Israel, who understands that Israel finds herself surrounded by neighbors who are enemies."
Hikind has not endorsed anybody in the primary to replace Ackerman, though his fellow assemblyman Lancman has asked for his backing. "Lancman is fabulous when it comes to Israel," Hikind said. "Nobody has to give him a crash course on what the situation is in the Middle East. He has a record of speaking out—not being afraid of being critical of even a Democratic president." (Lancman said of Obama last month, "I haven't been pleased or satisfied with his policies or views on Israel.")
Hikind added, "Lancman understands the Jewish community in his heart. From Israel to a lot of other issues, he's a solid guy. He really understands."
Does Meng, his Queens Democratic Party-backed opponent, share Lancman's understanding?
"You'd have to talk to her," Hikind replied.

US stocks close flat under 'fiscal cliff' fears
Published on Nov 13, 2012 6:07 AM
NEW YORK (AFP) - US stocks closed flat on Monday as persistent fears about the looming "fiscal cliff" of spending cuts and tax hikes at year-end cast a cloud over encouraging China trade data.
In closing trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 2.00 points (0.02 per cent) at 12,817.39.
The broad-market S&P 500 edged up a bare 0.17 point (0.01 per cent) to 1,380.02, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite fell 0.62 (0.02 per cent) to 2,904.25.
"The growing US fiscal cliff concerns continue to hamstring the bulls, keeping stocks in check," Charles Schwab & Co analysts said.

How Fracking Affects People, Pets, and Our Food
Friday, August 15, 2014
Across the country the extraction of natural gas by hydraulic fracturing—fracking—is expanding, and some people and communities are worried about its environmental consequences. Michelle Bamberger, a veterinarian, and Robert Oswald, a pharmacologist, look at the effects associated with hydraulic fracturing on people, pets, and livestock. They talk about interviewing families living near fracking sites who have report symptoms such as severe fatigue, nose bleeds, and difficulty breathing. In The Real Cost of Fracking: How America's Shale Gas Boom Is Threatening Our Families, Pets, and Food, Bamberger and Oswald argue that examining effects on animals can identify new methods to minimize unhealthy exposure in the human population.
Guests:Michelle Bamberger and Robert Oswald
Comments [4]
Main lesson: Get your water tested *before* they start fracking. (Also test your gas stove for radon--not only upstate but here in NYC! See saneenergyproject.org.)
What happens in the long run to aquifers when fracking fluid injection wells are nearby?
How much money is spent on the retrieval of the oil, and how much oil in dollars is actually retrieved from a site? Is the process worth the effort?
Greetings fellow Lopate listeners! I run a Meetup discussion group dedicated to various WNYC programs. I'm hosting an event tomorrow based on one of Leonard's programs that aired recently:
Join us for an afternoon of fun, intellectual, and friendly discussions!

Portugal will sign a contract for 10 NH90 helicopters in the next few days, possibly at Le Bourget, Eurocopter president and chief executive Jean-Francois Bigay revealed yesterday. The purchase is designed to meet the Portuguese Army's need for a troop transport machine.
The decision is a major shot in the arm for the programme, which brings together four European partners - France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Eurocopter is a partner in the NH Industries consortium that is leading development of the tactical transport/naval helicopter.
Bigay said he believed the aircraft was in a strong position in the Nordic Standard Helicopter Programme because Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden were still committed to buying a single type of helicopter.
Asked about the status of the Eurofar tailtrotor programme, he said Europe needed to "make a wise move" and develop a product to compete with US rivals, in the shape of the Bell/Agusta BA609 and Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey.
"Customers need competition," Bigay said, "but as a group we need to find solutions to the critical technologies to give us advantage over the competition. We aren't at that stage yet."
Discussing Eurocopter's strategy, Bigay said he wanted to increase the company's market share, particularly in the military field and to take its share of the civil market above 50%. He released figures showing the company's civil market share standing at 49%.Eurocopter's turnover was up 17% in 2000, he confirmed, rising past the $1.7billion mark for the first time, with 'booked sales' up 57%, mainly thanks to the signing of NH90 contracts.

Challenger Weekly Spotlight: 17-Year-Old Zverev Wins Maiden Title
by Josh Meiseles|
Revisit the week that was on the ATP Challenger Tour as we applaud the achievements of those on the rise and look ahead to who's in action in the week to come.
Sparkassen Open (Braunschweig, Germany): 17-year-old young gun Alexander Zverev took the ATP Challenger Tour by storm last week, winning his first title on the clay of Braunschweig. The former top-ranked junior and 2014 Australian Open boys' titlist became the 12th-youngest player to prevail on the circuit. He is one of 37 players to claim their maiden Challenger title by age 18 and did so having won just one match in six previous events. Zverev, a wild card, registered the first Top 100 victories of his career in defeat of Tobias Kamke in the first round, top seed Andrey Golubev in the semi-finals and Paul-Henri Mathieu 1-6, 6-1, 6-4 for the title. The German vaulted 380 spots in the Emirates ATP Rankings to a career-high World No. 285 with the win.

Nielsen Pro Tennis Championship (Winnetka, Illinois, U.S.A.): Seventh seed Denis Kudla upended Farrukh Dustov 6-2, 6-2 for his fourth ATP Challenger Tour crown and first of the year. Kudla, who ousted 2012 champion John-Patrick Smith in the semi-finals, is the 13th different American to triumph in Winnetka since the tournament's inception in 1984. He also won the doubles title alongside Australian rising star Thanasi Kokkinakis. Meanwhile, 19-year-old qualifier Mackenzie McDonald reached the semis in his first Challenger event. McDonald impressively qualified for the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati last year, upsetting Nicolas Mahut and Steve Johnson.
Distal & ITR Group Tennis Cup (Todi, Italy): Another Tecnifibre standout, Aljaz Bedene, improved his record in Challenger finals to a staggering 8-1, denying 2010 Wimbledon boys' champion Marton Fucsovics 2-6, 7-6(4), 6-4 in Sunday's final. The Slovenian won his first title of the year in impressive fashion, rallying from a set down in four of his five matches!

Trofeo Ricardo Delgado Aray (Manta, Ecuador): Adrian Mannarino's journey from Wimbledon to the Manta title, his sixth on the ATP Challenger Tour, is jaw-dropping. Just two days after falling in the second round on the grass of the All England Club (l. to Robredo), Mannarino (pictured left, photo credit: Promociones Valdivieso) began his qualifying campaign on the clay of Manta after a near-6,000 mile journey. The Frenchman would win seven matches in eight days, topping Guido Andreozzi 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the final and becoming the first European to prevail in Manta.
What the Players are Saying
Zverev (pictured right): "It feels great. I didn't expect to win. I beat three Top 100 players and I never beat even one before that. It's great for me the way I played there and I'm really happy to come out with the win.
"Paul is such a great player. He's almost a legend to me. He was No. 12 in the world. That I beat someone like him is unbelievable. I don't understand it yet.
"[Cracking the Top 300] like that and not through Futures and lower tournaments is even better. I showed that I can play at that level and I'm really happy that it happened that quick."
Kudla: "The title means a lot especially being the first time I have won singles and doubles. It's a great start to the hard court season and I'm hoping to build as much as I can on this win leading up to the US Open."
Mannarino: "I'm very happy to win here after a long trip from Wimbledon and having to qualify. People here have been very friendly. It is always a pleasure to play in front of such a large crowd."Tweet of the Week
