Commandos vs. Spartans

Spartans suck, Commandos kick ass.
"Master Chief" is the dumbest name ever, he looks really stupid, he hardly talks and when he does he's spouting bulls**t.
He is the last of the Spartans, all of whom were killed in very similar circumstances to the battles in Halo, except in Halo he is on his own, so it's completely ridiculous to think that he would survive.
Republic Commandos firstly have cool names, great equipment, actual army designations and they talk to each other like they are in the military unlike Master Chief.
There are four of them, clearly with training, which makes it alot easier to believe their surviving the missions, and they answer to actual military authority unlike Master Chief who answers to some holographic woman like Andromeda which also sucks.
So Commandos and Spartans can't really be compared, they're too different, Spartans are stupidly unrealistic in their design and the way they are implemented, Commandos are realistic in the way they fight and the way they interact with eachother and enemy and friendly PCs.
Commandos rule, Spartans suck.

Why is the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy so popular? I haven't read it, but I get why it is popular. Clearly sex sells, but that is not helpful to getting client development ideas for lawyers and law firms.

Planning for climate impacts
Observers underscore that "collapse" is a loaded description for a process that will take years, if not decades. That's why the takeaway needs to be deliberative action, not panic.
"If we plan and act, we can adapt to rising seas, but we will need to build coastal defenses like levees and barriers, restore protective wetlands, or even move away from low-lying coasts if needed," writes National Geographic's Dennis Dimick.
Climate change is no longer a worst-case abstraction peddled by eco-downers. It's a real-time phenomenon, with nasty, often unpredictable effects.
Extreme weather, along with increased precipitation in the Pacific Northwest, is consistent with the UW's Climate Impacts Group's climate modeling. A rise in sea levels, ocean acidification, a doubling of wildfires, the loss of cold-water salmon habitat. It's a crisis that merits a two-pronged response: Aligning local infrastructure to accommodate changing conditions (read: preparing for rising sea levels and replacing combined-sewer overflows as extreme rainstorms become commonplace) as well as reducing greenhouse emissions.
On Tuesday the Center for Naval Analyses issued a sobering report, "National Security and the Threat of Climate Change," which documents the socio-political fallout. "Climate change can act as a threat multiplier for instability in some of the most volatile regions of the world, and it presents significant national security challenges for the United States," it reads.
For cities such as Everett, preparations need to begin now. That means incorporating the impacts of climate change into the city's comprehensive plan. Question one for the candidates in Everett's sole city council race this year: What specifically do you propose to minimize climate impacts?
Ultimately, humans own this, and humans need to manage and curtail the fallout. As last year's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report states, "Human influence has been detected in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean. It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century."
Snohomish County prides itself on innovation. Pair entrepreneurial smarts with political courage and we just might be OK, collapsing ice sheets or no.

Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf
Photo: CherylB61
Community Recipe from
- 6 slice(s) White Bread
- Ingredients
- Meatloaf:
- 1 cup milk
- 6 bread slices
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup minced flat-leaf parsley
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 8 to 12 thin bacon slices
- Tomato Sauce:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- Dash or 2 hot sauce (more if you like)
- Dash or 2 Worcestershire sauce
- Directions
- For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pour the milk over the bread and allow it to soak in for several minutes. Place the ground beef, milk-soaked bread, Parmesan, salt, some pepper, seasoned salt and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the eggs. With clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined.
- Form the mixture into a loaf shape on a foil-lined broiler pan, which will allow the fat from the meat to drain.
- Lay the bacon slices over the top, tucking them underneath the meatloaf to give the meatloaf some support.
- Next, make the tomato sauce: Pour the ketchup into a bowl. Add the brown sugar and dry mustard, and splash in the hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir the mixture until well combined. Pour one-third of the sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake for 45 minutes, and then pour over another one-third of the remaining tomato sauce over the meatloaf. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes; the meatloaf should be no longer pink in the middle. Allow to sit 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with the remaining tomato sauce on the side as a dipping sauce.

Believe me, I understand that. But when this app (and we're talking
literally in excess of a million lines of java code) was first written in the
late '90s, a lot of essential stuff (e.g. SSL/certificate related) wasn't
available anywhere except in these packages. So the choice was to either not
have a feature - or to use a package that might not be supported in some
distant future.
Anyway, it's not a great inconvenience to switch manually to Java 7, after
compiling in Java 6. I was just hoping for more flexibility. It would seem
to me, at least from a GUI perspective, moving the platform combo box from
the top-level into each one of the tabs (compile, run, etc.) would do the
trick….but that suggestion could be part of the RFE bug I'll write.
Thanks again for trying to help.

Agassi asks for compassion
There's going to be a '60 minutes' interview with Agassi this Sunday, so be sure to check it out.
For my part, I think there are far too many finger wagging judgmental people out there who are probably no better than many of the people they wag their fingers at. Agassi did wrong, but he is clearly a better and more mature person today than he was in his younger years. Is it really realistic to expect anyone to go through life without making mistakes or experiencing moments of poor judgment? Do any of the unforgiving critics have completely flawless histories? It would have been far far more serious if we were talking about performance enhancing drugs, but this was recreational drug use, during a period in Agassi's life when he was trying to cope with his profound unhappiness. This is part of the reality of his history and he chose to reveal it in his autobiography. The guy is a multi-millionaire 10 times over, so this is clearly not about money, as some have suggested.
I think fans of all prominent figures would do well to live in reality and not imagine that the figures they revere so much are perfect, because they are not. Every single one of them is flawed, as we all are. The media provide us with very little accuracy when it comes to profiling individuals, because the limited scope of their resources, access, knowledge and dissemination can only provide us with a very superficial understanding of the individuals they report about. It's all sound-bite and image, with very little substance, knowledge or insight. You cannot really know any individual via the media. It's hard enough knowing people when you are on personal terms. If fans did not believe the fantasy so much, they would not be so disappointed in the reality. Rather than trying to fabricate heroes, I think it's important to be aware that everyone is flawed.
Also, my understanding is that at the time Agassi was found to have crystal meth in his body, the punishment for this recreational drug would have been a 3 month ban, had he been found guilty. This should give people some perspective when casting their judgment. Even the ATP recognized back then that recreational drug use was no way near as serious as performance enhancing drug use, so any kind of censure more than 10 years later should not go overboard, either from the public or officials.
No, thanks. I'd rather spend $30 on tennis balls and strings than buying a book about somebody's personal life. Good try, though. :)
Great post David L . I couldn't agree more.
When will he be on '60 minutes', again? And be sure to let everybody know when he's going to be on CNN, Fox News, Oprah, Larry King, Leno, and Letterman (selling his book), would ya? :wink:
Agassi doesn't need compassion!! He has money!! sorry:twisted:
You know I've expressed my opinion about the subject, which was basically, people do things, some don't, others do, this is hindsight and admission from someone about the past so way all the ripping of tunics over it...yet I do agree completely, I don't need or desire to read a book detailing someone's private life. On another thread, and I believe it was the Tennis Magazine stuff, a response from someone said they enjoyed sport, and various aspects of it, but when it delved into private lives, whether someone offered it or it was taken, they didn't have such interest into that unless it was historically significant criminality others needed to take a role in. I find that an interesting comment. I read along on TW and a few different forum sites, well more than a few, and news sites, besides hard copy ones, but the insistence on so many to want to delve into private moments and such things just seems odd to me. It seems strange, but then that is 99% of what is offered news wise these days.
To me, Agassi is falling back on his American roots by asking for compassion. Many other sports figures have made mistakes, serious ones, and have admitted it and pledged to go on and do better after those points. I don't think Agassi needs to explain anything further to the general public or avid haters or others. To me, now asking for compassion is the unbelievable and unacceptable part, he only said what he did in the past and apologized for it, why should he be flamed for it or ask forgiveness of those hypocritical entities who demand or suggest such action. In many ways I feel, after living and working in a number of countries, some are much more accusatory and judgemental than others, and unwilling to ever admit their "idols" might be human. If an "idol" admits to any wrongdoing, they should be condemned with the harshest penalty just because they were "famous" and made a mistake too. And then such ones wonder why these young persons forced a heavy burden take to something, whether its drugs or alcohol, gaming or sex, to numb their feelings. Its a stupid cycle they are forcing with their micro-attention on everything and overly religious and judgemental statements. Its just sad all around.
I don't read or buy biographies or autobiographies in general although I love to read history. So that's the only reason I wouldn't buy his book. I have no desire to read his story anymore than anyone else's which is not directly impactive to my own life. And that's just reality. It seems so many people are reading this book and acting as if what he did is killing them, shattered their past memories or will doom their future. Wow, I mean....show some objectivity.
Is it possible the reason why Agassi would do this (reveal his past drug use) isn't to brag or boast about drugs or to flog a few more copies of his book, but rather is to say, in an unspoken fashion : "don't do the same thing, don't make the same mistake I did"? All those self righteous fools who are busily casting stones badly need to stop for a moment, honestly question their real motives, and look into the dark & hidden corners of their own past to see if there aren't plenty of demons lurking there too. :evil:
People who cast stones : sooner or later, those stones are going to come flying straight back to whack 'em in the ***.
i just saw the new people magazine w/andre and stef on the cover, and the words "crystal meth use" under their pic....its just terrible what the media is doing
its good to see that andre admitted his faults...shows his true character which is composed of honesty, self belief, and even compassion for others. Who knows how many lives he has helped with the addition of the charter school he founded.
i mean nobody cares that jack nicholson or any other celebrity that is doing cocaine..(there are pics of him w/cocaine on his nose)
Martina Navratilova is just being a ***** quite frankly, condemning him and everything. It's a mistake, and it's bad that he did it for his own sake, tennis' sake, etc. But it's over, it's done with, and people should judge him for the person he is today, not the person that he was. Stop looking to the past, and give him the respect that he deserves.
I'm not going to buy the book because I don't really care.
He was a great tennis player that didn't do have the @#$% most stupid kids do these days.... he was talented and never really got into that much trouble.
When was the last time a tennis player shot himself in the foot with an unregistered gun?
All pro Atheletes use drugs of some kind. You can't convince me otherwise. If I was making millions taking my body to the max I probably would too as would 99% of the population.
He didn't have to blabber about it all over the world. His "revelations" damaged the reputation of the sport which brought him fame and fortune. He ruined his own image in his fans' eyes. Whatever for did he tell this dirty story? For publicity (regardless whether it is good or bad)? To promote his book? Don't see any other reasons.
Agassi was 27 when he did drugs. Many people are married and have kids at that age.
Of course we can be judgemental.

Sorry for the delay..........
OK, day six. MARATHON 511 Km. Just to spice things up a little, we are given the printed route sheets for the marathon only the night before. Which means everyone has a big cutting and taping job to do.....
And then you get to rip it all out to make room for tomorrow.......
OK, time to rip the 510km. of roadbook out, it was gettin' pretty tight in there.
Thonon les Bains to Alès and just so we're not faced with something unfamiliar, it's raining. It's 60 Km. to the first special stage; l'Observatoire. It's cold and slippy. During the wait for the start some nice people have set up a table offering everyone coffee. But a thick fog settles in and the special stage is cancelled. Super challenging road coming down the mountain.
I'm trying to stay with the father and son team from Switzerland who have the luxury of being able to slide on three wheels.
I can't for the life of me keep up with them. Wow!
And when their not sliding they might be doing this! Looks like fun, doesn't it?
As we head further south the weather improves and the sun starts to shine! I join up with Oliver again and we steadily work our way across the south. Then we come across a crash. Rider is down sprawled across the road lying flat on his back not moving. The protocol is to stay until the rider is rescued. Just let the timers know and they adjust your time. Fatigue is now weighing on everyone's abilities. Opinion was this unfortunate was either looking at his roadbook and missed seeing the traffic island while trying to pass a car. His BMW launched him a considerable distance down the road. He apparently was not seriously hurt. By the time we left the scene it was getting late. Much navigation needed, still a long way to go. Good pace, nice and steady, intersection, look left see if anyone's coming and BAM, next thing I know I'm lying on the ground, stunned. Shit, what happened, oh damn, I didn't realize Oliver had stopped to take a look at some road signs and I had slammed into the back of his bike. What the hell! You'd never stopped like that before, umm, about that fatigue I mentioned........Everyone was alright but I was minus a clutch lever. Hmm.......this is gonna be interesting, still about 100km. to go. Oliver looks at me, like, what are you gonna do? I say, come on lets GO! Engage first gear press the starter button and chugga, chugga, chugg and we're off. Timing the lights and traffic in villages is tricky but it's working. And then we hit the forest, it's starting to get dark. Tiny broken up fire roads, tight steep switch backs. Just the sort of situation you'd need a clutch for. We come up behind one of the wonders of the Moto-Tour. They have a vintage class. They have a 125cc class. This guy is riding a bone stock 125cc two stroke Suzuki twin from the 70's. And we can barely keep up with him! He's going around all the little bumps and divots like a mouse being chased by a cat. Amazing to watch. OK, now things are getting dicey. The road/path is tightening up. I absolutely have to make it around the tight steep switchbacks with no clutch, without stalling it or conversely dropping it. One of the mistakes of inexperience I made going into this was with the gearing I had chosen. I underestimated how much tight slow stuff there is. aa..AA..nn..NN..dd..DD.....STALL. Damn, now I have to turn around and coast back down to a flat section so I get started again and try it again. The road was so narrow there wasn't any point bump starting it going downhill, as you'd never be able to make a U turn anyway. Now this really has turned into a enduro! This went on for about 45 min. The starter motor is getting a massive work out! When I finally made it to the finish I still had to thread my way thru the crowds without stopping. The guys with the Japanese bikes couldn't get over it. They nicknamed the Monster "The Tank". Anyway, between sticking around the big crash and my slow clutch-less progress I missed out on the last special stage of the day. It's in the video. You know, the one that looks sort of like a paved motocross track! We're staying over night at the racetrack in Alès. Seems like a nice place except for the squat (yeah, there's still a few lurking around) toilets!

Youre out of line, lady!
I think either you're tired from losing sleep and aren't thinking/writing clearly or you're stepping over a line. What we have in your last post are rhetorical questions followed by what appear to be assertions of fact. Unless you have information that the rest of us do not (and I seriously doubt you do), what you have presented is speculation followed by uninformed opinion. To wit, with my comments in bold:

Permit me a rhetorical question: How do you know that it doesn't matter? How do you know what the condition of the crew may have been as they approached the coast?
What matters is that they all were together after the vessel grounded on a reef. They were in that liferaft Together! Mr and Mrs Ross are OK, Dave Shepard is OK, Laura is Not ok!!!
Speculation again
What ever happened to the buddy system? Why didn't David look out for Laura?
Do you know what happened the moments after the capsize? Do you know that Dave didn't look after her? You do not! Ergo, speculation once again.
The captain protected his wife, yet Laura was left to fen
for herself. NOT KOOL!
Speculation followed by opinion, shouted at that
My point is, that the surf that night must have been horrndously hugeand the wave and the liferaft centered, resulting in a flip and discharge of its passengers.
At this point Ross looks after himself and his wife but why didn't he or Dave, the other able bodied crewmate look after Laura?
Speculation, followed by, given the state of your knowledge of the situation, an unkind insinuation. (And as an aside, let me add that from everything I've read here about Laura, she sounds like a woman very capable of taking care of hereself.)
Instead the 3 grabbed for the liferaft and rode it in when the next set wave white water (which would be about 8 dfeet high) into the shore, about a mile away, thus leaving Laura to fen
for herself.
XXOXX, this is truly offensive speculation -- do you have a shed of evidence that this is true? Careful, this is a public forum and the insinuation you make here is bordering on libel.
Why is the wife OK and Laura not OK? Laura was younger stronger and a better swimmer. Yes, it is now time to point fingers!! It's been a week.
Seculation (on Laura's condition at the time) followed by an opinion.
If it's time to point fingers, permit me to point one in your direction: what you have said is uninformed by the facts, most probably extremely unkind to the people involved, and IMHO has no place in a forum like this. XXOXX, chill! Get some sleep. Come back when you have something better to offer.

Early treatment appears to help people with prehypertension reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure, according to a new study. In the four-year Trial of Preventing Hypertension study, researchers found that those who received the anti-hypertension drug candesartan had a lower chance of developing hypertension than those on a placebo.

"Influencer" is used everywhere in communications and has become short-hand for describing valuable relationships. But what does an influencer mean to your brand? Who and how many influencers are talking about you? How do you measure the value of influence? Fill in this quick survey and you will be adding to the insights we're gathering from hundreds of communicators!
A sneak peek discussion ahead of FutureComm14 - The PR & Comms Event of The Year on 18th June - industry expert communicators - Deirdre Breakenridge, Neville Hobson, Paul Sutton, Adam Cranfield - get together to discuss where the future of communications is heading.
We want to hear how in-house communicators are tackling the difficulties of digital PR today. Take our 5 mins survey to be in with the chance of winning an iPad mini with retina display.
"One definite trend for almost all brands is the greater focus on content. They're competing with media publications for people's attention and time, so start to adopt similar approaches to storytelling online."
Meerkat (noun): a small southern African mongoose. Or in the marketing world – a live-streaming app that's causing a bit of a stir.

11 October 2013 15:03 [Source: ICIS news]
By Nigel Davis
LONDON (ICIS)--Global chemical supply chains are being realigned as business moves to a growing Asia, new capacity is added in the Middle East and the industry is gripped by shale gas fever in North America.
Dow Chemical recently opened a logistics and technology centre in Belfast, UK, to help it understand more about its developing global supply footprint.
It is working hard now setting up the networks that will supply product to global markets from its investments in Saudi Arabia and on the US Gulf.
The company will handle the marketing and sales of a large proportion of the volumes from the giant Sadara project in Saudi Arabia with Saudi Aramco which is expected to be fully on-stream in 2016.
New volumes wil be moving out of the Middle East particularly to Asia. Later, as its new cracker and other plants come on-stream in the US, the challenge will be to move more volumes into a wider range of markets.
"We are preparing the market for Sadara products," Peter Holicki who is Dow's global manufacturing vice president for hydrocarbons, said at the 47th European petrochemical association (EPCA) meeting in Berlin this week.
There are many opportunities to work with partners in chemicals supply chains as large volumes of capacity, not just Dow's, are brought on-line, he believes.
Holicki took part in a panel discussion at the EPCA meeting in Berlin on 'global leadership and chemical supply chains'.
The faster-than-expected shift of chemical production from Europe to Asia, along with investment in the US, is realigning global supply/demand balances, the EPCA and trade group Cefic said in a jointly-authored report published at the EPCA meeting.
The volume and direction of material flows are changing and considerably increasing supply chain complexity and uncertainty, the associations say.
How firms tackle the supply chain challenges of the new capacity build ups in North America and the Middle East, as well as the changing supply/demand picture in Asia, will affect their short and long term performance, financial and otherwise.
Supply networks wil have to be more responsive and more resilient to external and internal shocks.
The EPCA/Cefic study, which draws heavily on case studies from different sections of and players in the industry, puts great emphasis on the opportunities that are presented by more collaboration, which they refer to as 'pro-competitive' collaboration between chemical companies and logistics service providers. It also suggests that there could be some 'horizontal' pro-competitive collaboration between chemical companies.
Collaboration is mentioned many times in the report: 'Sustainable chemical supply and logistics chains, the path forward'. Members of the report working groups see clear opportunities for better understanding and information exchange, both up and down, and across, chemical supply chains.
Producers want to audit the operations and capabilities of logistics service providers and others in the supply chain.
Those providers likewise would theoretically be able to offer a better service if they had better data from the producer to work from.
It is good that service providers are becoming more global, the big chemical companies believe. They want now to see how improved supply chain performance might be achieved.
Chemical industry supply chains can be redesigned – they are not that complex - Paul Lord, research director with Gartner Supply Chain Research, said at the EPCA meeting. But what makes chemical supply chains unique are their constraints such as regional and national regulations and safety and environmental issues.
Chemical firms probably have a lot to learn from the best supply chain operators, the Apples and McDonalds of this world, Lord suggested.
These companies were one and two respectively in the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 ranking for 2013.
There were no chemical companies on the list but a few firms with chemicals processing in their portfolios such as Proctor & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson and 3M. But the chemical industry is a supplier to the Top 25 so collaborates with them in some fashion.
Chemical producers might learn a thing or two from the ways in which the best supply chain operators take an integrated rather than functional approach to this side of their business. They are also market as opposed to sales driven.
Petrochemical makers could be better at market segmentation. They might also start to believe that they can let the supply chain, and the customer no less, dictate manufacturing practice.
"Manufacturing must become fully integrated into the supply chain," Lord said at the EPCA meeting.
The highlight of the EPCA/Cefic report is that collaboration is the way towards creating joint value. How such collaboration is achieved is another matter.

Asian Killer Floods Magnified By Damaged Ecosystems
Changes in climate may be a partial cause to the record rainfall that is wreaking havoc in Asia, but environmental experts say the destruction of ecosystems is more directly at fault for the severity of killer floods.
The devastating floods are becoming worse because of several factors, including deforestation, conversion of wetlands into farmlands and urban centers and the clogging of natural drainage systems, experts warn.
"You can't just blame nature… humans have encroached on the natural flood plains," said Ganesh Pangare, Bangkok-based regional water and wetlands coordinator with the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Better management of flood plains would limit the human and economic costs of natural disasters, such as the record rains in Pakistan recently, said Pangare.
The natural infrastructure is important and must be protected, "otherwise development in Asia is not sustainable," he said.
Red Constantino, head of the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities in Manila, said climate change is becoming a convenient way for Asian leaders to place blame elsewhere when natural disasters strike.
"When there is any big flooding it's become commonplace for climate change to be blamed when in fact many of the problems are fixable at the local level," said Constantino.
"Whether you are in Jakarta or Bangkok or Manila you have a basic issue with bad waste management, bad land management and urban sprawl," he added.
The devastation that occurred in Manila last year when Tropical Storm Ketsana dropped the largest amount of rains in four decades on the Philippine capital, submerged eighty percent of the city at the height of the flooding and more than 400 people died.
Then president Gloria Arroyo placed the blame for the severity of the storm on climate change, however, a host of more direct human factors were to blame for the massive death toll.
According to Constantino, millions of people who built homes along flood plains in recent decades, the destruction of upstream forests and garbage that clogged waterways all magnified the disaster.
One of the major magnifiers of flood disasters has been the destruction of forests, according to Bruce Dunn, environmental specialist with the Asian Development Bank's Regional and Sustainable Development Department.
He pointed to a study by Australia's Charles Darwin University and the National University of Singapore that found a 10 percent decrease in forests led to the frequency of floods rising by between four and 28 percent.
However, Dunn expressed, amid the seemingly inevitable path towards ever-worsening damage of Asia's ecosystems, there have been some examples of improvement.
China began massive reforestation efforts after the country was hit by massive flooding in the 1980s.
"At the time there were huge levels of deforestation and almost overnight there was a very rapid policy change," Dunn said. "Now, in terms of forest cover, Asia has had some increases because of reforestation in China."
Ganesh Pangare echoed this theme, saying investment in "natural infrastructure" was the only way to protect people from the impacts of potential climate change-induced floods.
Building walls to stop the floods is not the answer. "You have to invest in natural infrastructure — forests, river basins, lakes, wetlands," he said.

Interesting display ad' over at ae.tutsplus.com (envato) – promoting a site selling After Effects templates.
Interesting bit is that it isn't Videohive…
Yeah, its a bit strange. It happens because the Tuts sites use buysellads to sell the spots, so technically any company could come in and buy one.
buysellads allows publishers to choose / approve which ads appear:
From their support:
"Yes, you can approve each ad before it goes live on your site. What you would do is set each zone to be manually approved (on the zone settings page) and then you will receive an email before each ad goes live."
I just think it's a shame that VH isn't promoted/advertised when a competitor to envato – and us all here really – is.
It's the same with PSD Tuts+ and the "DreamTemplate" Ad.
Not sure how we plan to filter ads in the future, but we have gone ahead and posted an ad for VH on AEtuts.
didnt notice till now…weird..yeah
The internet. What are you gonna do
The internet. What are you gonna do
I'd cross-promote within my own group as much as possible and exclude any direct competition (because I can with buysellads) – and on aetuts I'd run VH ads more for project files than motion graphics for obvious reasons (the ad Mark is referring to above is advertising stock motion graphics … interesting rationale … but I don't get it).

Jason Wu Eyewear so pretty, so chic
Colored sunglasses are like makeup for your faceJason Wu Eyewear is one of the prettiest collections of sunglasses around.We're mad over the very subtle, yet glam accent colors that correspond to garments in Jason Wu's Spring 10 collection.Look for semi-translucent crystals in aquamarine, topaz, onyx, opal, olivine, noir, caramel and richly textured tortoise."The pieces combine sleek, modern finishes, which I love, with unusual materials and details. I wanted to put my stamp on an item which would be accessible to a broader market and with an inherently chic connotation- sunglasses," says Wu.Published on February 03, 2010

Shopping burns calories, what's not to love when you can shop to drop a size?
I think we have all broken a sweat from the rush of an amazing find, but we are professional shoppers from the day we were old enough to walk into a store.Now, there's proof that shopping is a sport, well so to speak.There's a new study that proves that our "black belt" shopping may have a fitness perk as well.Published on January 15, 2010

Yes, I think I'm Parisian Chic. Maybe!
Some things in Paris are almost a given, a rite of passage if you will.There's that tentative yet boldy self-confident attitude. Polar opposites that when they come together, with a cute accent thrown in, are oh soooo French.Then's there's the love for simple, yet classic pieces, with something bold thrown in to pop.The attitude and the style are almost the same, no? Yes, of course they are!H&M is beginning a style video series and the 'Parisian Chic' street style is the 2nd to roll out today. We think it's very worthwhile to watch and captures the je ne sais quoi of young French style that is a simple, yet timeless recipe for easy chic.Published on January 14, 2010

22 CFR 19.6-5 - Preliminary review.
(a) Upon receipt of an application for payment under § 19.6-3, PER/ER/RET will determine whether—
(3) The court order is a qualifying order. If the application is completed, the beneficiary is eligible and the court order appears on its face to be a qualifying order, PER/ER/RET will provide the notification required by § 19.6-6, otherwise, it will notify the applicant of any deficiency or requirement for additional information, and if the order is determined to be non-qualifying, the basis for such determination.
(b) Upon receipt of a certified copy of a final decree of divorce, PER/ER/RET will determine whether—
(1) It is a valid decree. Any decree recognized as valid by the parties will be considered valid for this purpose. In addition, any non-recognized decree will be considered valid for this purpose unless:

There are times when even a cynic like me has to feel some sympathy for politicians. Take the case of Libya, for example. Over the forty years of Muammar Gaddafi's regime, relations between Britain (and our Western allies) and Libya have varied from lukewarm to cold and back to lukewarm again.

It is clear that the Centre does not want to face the reality in Andhra Pradesh ("Paralysis is not an option," Oct. 2). It was the same attitude that led to the Telangana agitation turning violent three years ago. The only way to resolve the issue is to talk to the leaders of the agitation. It is time the Centre dived into the sea of unrest to find a lasting solution.
Arvind Krishnan, Thanjavur
The contentious part of the issue lies in splitting Hyderabad, a well developed city. It is not known why the stand taken on Chandigarh while carving out Haryana from Punjab cannot be adopted through meaningful negotiations in the case of Hyderabad as well. It is not in the fitness of things to postpone a decision on the Telengana issue.
C.P. Velayudhan Nair, Thiruvananthapuram
The UPA government's continuing procrastination on the issue is condemnable. The Congress is only inviting more trouble for itself. The party's political games are fraught with dangerous consequences.

Six years after TPG Funds and Silver Lake Funds took the debt-ridden firm private for $5 billion, Sabre today debuted on the Nasdaq stock exchange. It priced its shares at $16 — below its expected $18 to $20 range — raising $627 million at a $3.93 billion valuation. Sabre operates travel exchange website Travelocity, which accounted for 18 percent of the company's $3.05 billion in revenue last year. It also operates the Sabre Travel Network, a business-to-business travel marketplace, and its Airline and Hospitality Solutions service, a cloud-based software business for airlines and hoteliers. Despite five consecutive years of annual losses, Sabre is bullish on its future prospects. "We're feeling very good indeed," Rick Simonson, Sabre's chief financial officer, told VentureBeat this morning. Sabre transacts over $100 billion between travel suppliers and buyers each year — more than eBay or Amazon handles annually, Simonson noted. And if the company considered its cloud software business a separate company, it would be second in value only to Salesforce, Simonson asserted. The company will use net proceeds from the IPO to help pay off its more than $3 billion in debt, Simonson said. Sabre partnered up with once-competitor Expedia in August, letting that company use its technology to power Travelocity. That partnership enabled the company to cut costs and boost profits, helping it appeal to investors. Sabre cut its net losses down from $611.4 million in 2012 to $100.5 million last year, while increasing its revenue around 2.5 percent to $3.05 billion. Shares of Saber are currently trading at $16.65, up 4.1 percent from their initial $16 sale price. The company is trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol "SABR." "In some ways, [the IPO] doesn't change things a whole lot, because we've had terrific support from our owners, Silver Lake and TPG," said Simonson. "The innovation we've done over the last years — that's going to continue."

An eccentric art auctioneer becomes obsessed with an heiress.
Movie Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes®
" "The Best Offer" is at its best when it's decidedly weird. "
" An uneven but weirdly mesmerizing drama/thriller, Giuseppe Tornatore's "The Best Offer" offers an acting showcase to Geoffrey Rush. "
" Sure-footed scripting and a stand-out performance by Luminita Gheorghiu freshen a potentially pat subject. "
" Italian writer-director Giuseppe Tornatore... designs beautiful sets around Virgil, who holds the screen in nearly every shot. "
" The film has several smart twists and surprises up its well-tailored sleeve. "
" The movie's an eyeful, though, thanks to the intricate production design and many artworks on display; it's also an earful, thanks to Ennio Morricone's fittingly lush score. "
" An intriguingly Hitchcockian premise gradually takes on a preposterous air in the art-world noir "The Best Offer." "
" Mr. Rush can't fly far on Mr. Tornatore's dialogue and workmanlike plotting, and Sylvia Hoeks, as Claire, doesn't bring a corresponding energy. "
" None of it comes together in any satisfying way, unfortunately, because Tornatore telegraphs every revelation with head-slapping amateurishness. "
" Archambault's handling of Gabrielle and Martin's sexuality is one of the pic's strong suits, presenting their desire with a refreshing, straightforward honesty. "
