The International Franchise Association Awards: among the most popular events of IFA's annual convention and Franchise Appreciation Day ceremonies are the presentations of annual awards.
In the years since the first IFA awards were bestowed, they have come to achieve international recognition. Criteria are extensive and stringent, and competition each year is keen. IFA awards represent and formalize for each recipient the respect of his or her peers. Winners are nominated and honored for their achievements by members of the association.
This award, IFA's oldest and most prestigious, is presented to an association member, past or present, who exemplifies the optimum in franchising and has contributed significantly to the advancement of franchising and the franchising community
The nominee should possess the following characteristics: a proven and established record of achievement in franchising, reputable and respected by franchisors and franchisees, has contributed significantly to the advancement of franchising and has built an organization that is self-sustaining through successful innovative franchising programs. The nominee should be a pioneer or legend in the industry. The candidate may be nominated if retired or deceased.
First presented in 1982, this award is conferred upon an individual who is currently building a successful business venture. The recipient need not be an IFA member, but must exemplify the "entrepreneurial spirit" that franchising represents. He or she must demonstrate innovative management skills and be a risk taker in a franchise that has been in operation for at least three years, while remaining active in his or her community.
This award was created in 1994 in memory of IFA member and Postal Instant Press co-founder Bonny LeVine in recognition of her outstanding accomplishments in franchising and of her status as a role model for women in the franchising community.
The Bonny LeVine Award is bestowed upon a female franchisor or franchisee who has demonstrated ability in franchising as evidenced by her contributions to the growth of the business; contributions to her community through board positions, volunteer work and activities that promote the professional advancement of women; and, of course, her contributions as a mentor to women in franchising.
The recipient of this award must contribute to the growth and development of the franchised business and be active in the community through activities such as board positions, volunteer work, teaching and participating in activities that promote the professional advancement of women. She should have leadership qualities, enjoy that reputation among peers and serve as a mentor to other women.
This new award, which replaced the Free Enterprise Award in 2004, was created to recognize organizations and/or individuals who have made significant contributions to minorities in franchising either within their franchise organization or within the franchise community. This award is open to any organization or individual from an IFA member company, past or present, whether franchisor, franchisee or supplier.
Criteria includes active participation in operating or supporting a franchise business, holds and has held leadership positions on diversity councils, committees and organizations within the franchise company or franchise community and is considered a leader in promoting diversity within the franchise community. The recipient should have created or implemented specific diversity initiatives within the franchise company, or franchise community that resulted in increasing opportunities for or success of minorities in franchising. The candidate should also demonstrate passion and consistent commitment to diversity in franchising. Finally, the candidate should demonstrate service to IFA personally or through other member company representatives within the past five years.
The Honorary Life Member designation recognizes individuals who have played a major role in the development of franchising and the association. Nominees are selected by the IFA Past Chairmen's Council, approved by the Awards Committee, and approved by the IFA Board of Directors. Recipients must have served a minimum of five years as either a committee chair or vice chair, or as a member of IFA's board.
This award honors those individuals--franchisees, franchisors or suppliers--upon retirement, who have given much of their time and talent to promoting franchising in general and IFA in particular during their active business careers.
Formal nominations are not accepted for this award. The board of directors has vested the sole authority for initiating such nominations with the Past Chairmen's Council who submit them to the Awards Committee.
The IFA Distinguished Service Awards category was established to recognize individuals from each of the three categories of association membership who have devoted many years to promoting franchising through helping IFA fulfill its mission by active participation on committees, task forces and the board of directors. The first Distinguished Service Award--Franchisee Forum was presented during the IFA Fall Leadership Meetings in September 2004 to Regina Gardner, KaBloom franchise development consultant. Subsequent awards will be presented during the 2005 Fall Leadership Meetings. The awards will be given when deemed appropriate and do not carry a requirement of regularity.
The Executive Committees of the Franchisor, Franchisee and Supplier Forums will each submit three new nominations each year from their membership category for the Distinguished Service Awards to the association's Awards Committee, which will make final recommendations to the IFA board of directors.
The Franchisee of the Year Awards is IFA's way of celebrating the entrepreneurs who work hard every day on the front lines: the franchisees.
The Franchisee of the Year awards honor franchisees who have done an outstanding job in the past year to help build their company's brand credibility and reputation of excellence among consumers. Member companies have selected the franchise partners who they feel have performed above and beyond the call of duty, and IFA publicly recognizes those franchisees during its annual convention.

While visiting his old high school during his day with the Cup, Kings captain Dustin Brown was faced with a daunting task -- making enough time for the nearly 1,000 people who lined up for a picture with the Cup.
Thanks to Brown's wife, Nicole, running a tight ship, everyone came away with a picture. A few lucky fans who bought raffle tickets even won an autographed miniature Cup. All the money collected this morning will go to the Semper Fi Fund, which does charity work for marines injured in the line of duty.
Brown got involved with the organization after his wife's cousin died due to injuries sustained while serving in Afghanistan.

I really did not care for this book. First of all, when I ordered it I didn't know it was more a pamphlet than a book. I read it just the same. Th story is as the title says, a home ivasion.

Thank you for your responses to the "nappy-headed black women being overweight" email yesterday
Yesterday I posted an email from GregW, a loyal reader, who some of you thought was a bitter LSLH chick. You can read GregW's email here. I received many responses to GregW's email as this must be a hot topic with some of you, or maybe he pushed the right buttons?
Anyway, there is no way I can post the responses because I just don't have the time. But as a gesture of thanks for your support I will allow those of you who took the time to email me those (long) thoughtful responses to register on my blog. That offer is only extended to those who emailed me yesterday.

So after watching unprofessional fridays last week, I decided to check out that Game of Thrones browser game they were talking about. It seems like some of the quests would go easier if I had some bros to team up with, so I figured I'd come here and see if any of you dudes played this. I play it on the disruptor beam website, not facebook, if that matters.

I tried it, being a freemium kingdom builder game expect myself. I did not like it. It seems like the main hook is the storytelling in the quests, which is a very novel idea in that sort of game, but it does not work. Battles take 20-1hour to finish which means you probably forgot by than. I also just was not enjoying the story that was happening either. There is no good social features, and the gameplay itself is not great.
@ilikepopcans: I think the quests are cool! As far as social I think after a few levels there starts to be pvp and whatnot? I might be wrong though.

Hey everyone, what's up? My name is Phil and I'm new to the forum, I hope I posted this in the right category. So lately I've been trying to put together a audio system that fits my budget (university student) that still sounds good (and can handle some party use) Right now I'm looking for some advice on selection of speakers that would give me the best bang for my buck. I'll probs be using a vintage Nikko Alpha II amp and Beta II pre (but maybe a Kenwood 208 amp) My speaker choice in the under $100 have came down to a set of Technics sb cx700's or Sansui SP-X7900's. I have read some reviews on stereo speakers and some say they are worth the money and some say they arent. I still can't make decision. Any thoughts?

The verdict is in view - this Commission Blueprint 2.0 review is a winner...at least in terms of popularity. Straight over the pattern 24 hours, there suffer with been hundreds of searches respecting the terms Commission Blueprint review, "Who is Tim Godfrey?" etc. A particle grain of facts and details in the matter of this system here. It is the latest way to profit from Clickbank using Google Adwords. There seems to be quite a sum up of such products nowadays such as Google Nemesis and The Affiliate Conspiracy. Why are these hot sellers? Like it or any more, marketers have planned a love-hate relationship with Adwords. While the clicks are expensive, prospering PPC marketers contain been proficient to tap them seeking mammoth profits, all but on autopilot once they are designate up. And Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton feel to have charge it correctly, making profits of $526,422.83 within a 7 month period. All the sales were made selling non-internet marketing products. This proves that it will livelihood looking for you if you are selling alcove products. You can see in my Commission Blueprint 2.0 review that it is a done blueprint that teaches you how to vigorous moolah selling Clickbank products using Google Adwords and alighting pages. Of course, the system works representing other kinds of products as well. There are here 14 videos and 5 PDFs, and 3 liable templates benefit of you to use in this system. Other than that, there are memory maps, cascade charts and all that you can use. I recently got to get a suspend look at the product itself. Each PDF teaches you how to use a specific system to sell such as using an opt-in page, a examination age and a pre-sell page. Peradventure a lot of PPC marketers already know this but you do not differentiate how to maximize the conversions, right? Spring, the system has some actually devious and cool tricks to teach. The videos go from how to pick helpful products, to performing keyword check out to find the consummate keywords that pass buyers tick, what domain name to say, creating deplaning pages that take high conversion rates, setting up and managing the campaigns as satisfactory as how to snuff insensible the winners. Against this to Google Nemesis and Affiliate Stratagem, it appears that Commission Blueprint has an causticity done with the two. While the authors are not big names, the amount of purport and videos show that there are a tons of proven tricks and talents that the world has that to see. This Commission Blueprint 2.0 review show that commission blueprint 2.0 is a moronic and brim-full pattern covering the tutorials as pretentiously as the tools needed to start profiting using Google and Clickbank. Take in how Commission Blueprint 2.0 can father multiple income streams for you within minutes!

People either loved Radkin or hated him, he said.
Neighbors had feuded with him in Alburgh, where he had been known to run around his property naked, Fluery said.
"Radkin was very, very rude," he said.
Born Richard A. Burgess in Greenfield, Mass., in 1945, he graduated from Deerfield Academy and later changed his name to just Radkin, and eventually lived as a caretaker on property on Shelburne Point. He worked at Mad River Glen ski area in Fayston at one point. He liked to go to auctions and flea markets and lived off the grid.
"He was an unusual fellow, that's for sure," Powell said.
Radkin had asked the owner of Shelburne Point, a prime piece of land on Lake Champlain, if he could keep his horse there and eventually built a house on wheels and asked if he could keep it there and live it in.
Willard Jackson said he agreed, with some trepidation. "For over 20 years, he was the self-appointed caretaker of Shelburne Point and in the process became a legend," Jackson wrote in an online memorial to Radkin.
Jackson's son said Radkin was told he needed to find another home when the family decided to subdivide the property. He moved 55 miles north to Alburgh, but it took him a number of years to leave the point, moving small amounts at a time, Van Powell said.
When a friend had not heard from or seen Radkin in a while, he called the sheriff's department. His body was found crushed under the trailer last March, in an accident that officials believe happened in December 2011. A memorial gathering was held in Shelburne Point in August.
"He was fiercely independent and, in his later years, lived like a pioneer or as Henry David Thoreau did at Walden Pond. He hardly ever bought anything and was content to make do with what no one else seemed to want. He was a farmer, mechanic, inventor, engineer, philosopher, concerned citizen and loyal friend," Jackson said in his memorial.
The property is now being handled by a lawyer. If the price is right, Fleury would consider buying it.
"I'm thinking I'm going to have quite a remodeling job on my hands," he said.
Rathke reported from Montpelier, Vt.

Tisha! This is so awesome
Submitted by Michael Nystrom on Tue, 01/29/2013 - 13:55. Permalink
I first had beet kvaas about 3 months ago. It was delicious! I've been thinking ever since that I should figure out how to make it, since I make all kinds of weird stuff at home, including my own:
- soap
- yoghurt
- granola
- kale chips
- dehydrated flax crackers
Thank you for the recipe! Just one question for our vegan friends here: Is there something that one might use instead of whey?
I have heard this is an excellent book: Wild Fermentation. Times are a little tight, so I haven't bought it just yet, but fermented foods of all kinds have great health benefits.
Big mike made some fermented hot sauce with peppers that he grew. Yum, yum!
Thank you for the post.

Hi I hope I can get some advice, my vision box is consistently clicking and partially resetting itself I have seen the same issue mentioned within a number of support sites generally pointing towards a BT upgrade to solve the problem, it's getting to the point now where I'm seriously considering switching to another provider. the hub and phone conection are in a seperate room from the TV so hard wiring isn't really an option. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi ianm489,
I'm sorry to read about the problems with your vision box. Can you try these BT Vision help checks and let me know if they help?

HOW TO: Automate the MapPoint 2002 Control and Save the Map as HTML In Visual C# .NET
Article ID: 302898 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q302898
This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
On This Page
This step-by-step article describes how to automate the MapPoint 2002 control and save the map as HTML in Visual C# .NET.
The MapPoint ControlThe Microsoft MapPoint Control 9.0 is an ActiveX control that is included with Microsoft MapPoint 2002. This control provides a convenient way to implement MapPoint 2002 functionality on a form in a Visual C# .NET project. By using this control, you can access most, but not all, MapPoint 2002 functionality. For example, you cannot programmatically save a map in the HTML format with the ActiveX control, but you can save the map as a MapPoint .ptm file by using the control, and then programmatically open the .ptm file in MapPoint and save it as HTML. This article contains sample code that demonstrates this solution.
Steps to Build the SampleThe MapPoint 9 Control installs its own type library and a version of the MapPoint 2002 type library, but not all of the latter. For this example, you need the complete MapPoint 2002 type library as well as the partial type library that ships with the control to build an instance of the Application object. The type library for MapPoint 2002 has a namespace attribute that conflicts with the namespace of the version that is supplied (imported) by the control; when you import the MapPoint 2002 type library, you can use a different namespace to avoid this conflict.
Import the MapPoint Type Library
Create the Sample Project

The spanking-bright Seaside Café is basically a fast-food restaurant connected to the New York Aquarium. As an air-conditioned space that's closed off to the corn-dog-cramming crowd on the boardwalk, that's good enough. The structure itself looks like an interstate rest stop, albeit one that's decorated with blown-glass fish and red branch coral. The cafeteria-style service area is hygienic, and healthy menu optionswraps and saladsare balanced by familiar, greasy pleasures like Nathan's hot dogs, chili-cheese fries, giant sirloin burgers, and personal-pan pizzas. Sustainable fish choices like salmon burgers and fish and chips allow you to partake of the ocean's bounty (or the bounty of humane fisheries) without guilt. Chunk white tuna and chicken Caesar salads are fresh prepped, but pizzas tend to linger awhile in a warming oven, and hot dogs roll in a sheen of fat on the old-school rack under the heat lamp. Still, the

John Berardi recently did some fasting experiments that got a lot of attention. He tried one-day-a-week fasts, short daily fasts, along with some combinations and variations of those two. Reading through the document, however, there are a number of statements that don't seem to add up. He didn't seem to consider hunger in general, or eating to hunger and satiety, as important tools in weight loss.
John's goal was to lose 20 pounds, even though he was already lean. Here's one quote from the article when he did an intermittent fasting protocol. It shows that this is a mechanical diet, and that there is no connection to hunger or satiety in the plan:
"Because you have to meet your daily calorie quota within fewer meals, you sometimes have to eat until you're feeling more than 100% full.
At times the meals felt too big, like I was force-feeding myself."
Okay, so let me get this straight: he is trying to lose weight, but yet he is force-feeding himself at meals? That doesn't sound very logical to me.
This came from a forced schedule that he followed:
"Noon Workout session with 10 g BCAA during session
1:30 PM Eat first meal, largest of the day
4:30 PM Eat second meal, moderate sized meal
8:30 PM Eat third meal, moderate sized meal"
Why not just eat to satiety during the 8-hour window? How could that be any less effective? Why eat at these exact prescribed times if he's not hungry at these times? And above all else, why force yourself to overeat at meals if you are trying to lose weight?
Even if he was looking to cap total calories for the day, I don't see any benefit to strictly scheduling the food intake. Better to eat to satiety and at least not be hungry some of the time.
This leads me to my next point. He generally limited the calories per day and tried to consume a similar number every day. Why not add some flexibility to this? You could cap the total number of calories for a week, and still allow some day-to-day flexibility. Hunger is not 100% equal every day - some days the body might need more or less calories. Even when aiming for a weekly calorie deficit, I don't see any benefit of rigid day-to-day calorie caps.
Something else that was prominently mentioned in the document was moodiness and food cravings. In my view, this goes hand-in-hand with not eating to hunger and satiety. You are not giving the body what it wants when it wants it.
You could argue that what he is trying to do, going from 10% bodyfat to 4%, isn't natural and cannot be obtained by natural eating to hunger and satiety in the first place. This could be true. Even given that, there is no reason to totally ignore hunger and satiety (i.e. force yourself to overeat or eat only at prescribed times) during this period. After all, he states in the document that he wants to remain at this new weight long-term. I would argue that in the long run, you can't do this by ignoring the body's signals for hunger and satiety. To do so is just spitting in the wind.

The Space
Top-floor, TWO-BEDROOM apartment in an Edwardian building right in the middle of the Dublin city's old historic centre.
It has unique won't-find-anywhere-else views of Dublin Castle and City Hall, two of Dublin's most iconic historic landmarks. The building is on Dame Street in Dublin 2, and is just a couple of minutes (or less) walk from all of Dublin's historic, cultural, social and tourist attractions.
The apartment is full of history, tradition and character. It occupies the top floor of an old Edwardian building, located midway along Dame Street, which links Trinity College to Christ Church Cathedral.
As well as views over Dublin Castle and Dublin City Hall from the living room and one bedroom, the other bedroom looks west towards Christ Church Cathedral. Where else would you get it?
The apartment has been completely renovated in recent years (so has all the modern conveniences you could want, including fast WiFi internet connection, central heating, an electric shower and a fully-fitted kitchen), its original period features have been preserved (including solid oak wood flooring in the living room and bedrooms, granite stone flooring and a wonderful Belfast sink in the kitchen, and large sash windows in every room).
It has two bedrooms (one with a double bed, the other with two single beds, which can be combined if required), a decent-sized living room with a kitchen off and a bathroom.
Every room has large sash windows characteristic of the Edwardian era (early 1900s), so the apartment is full of natural light (if you're lucky, sunshine too!) from early in the morning until late in the evening.
Everything you might need (bed linen, towels and kitchen items) is provided, as well as a small library of books on Dublin. Free 30Mb Wifi.
Guest Access
You have access to everything and everywhere - it's all yours.
Interaction with Guests
I'll meet you when you arrive to say hello, give you keys, show you around the apartment, tell you what's what in the area and answer any questions. I'm Irish, though, so there'll be no hugging. After that, if you need anything or have any questions, you can phone or email me. Always available and happy to help!
The Neighborhood
Have a glance at a map of Dublin and you'll see that Dame Street is right in the centre of everything that Dublin has to offer. Trinity College is at one end of Dame Street (3 minute walk from the apartment) and Christ Church Cathedral is at the other (2 minute walk in the other direction). On one side is Dublin Castle and City Hall, and on the other is Temple Bar.
All other notable parts of the city – such as Grafton Street area, St Stephens Green, Merrion Square, O'Connell Street – are within a 10-15 minute walk.
As well as being immersed in Dublin's history and culture, you're surrounded by the best cafes, restaurants, pubs and shopping in Dublin.
Getting Around
One of the things that previous guests have all remarked on is that they didn't need to use public transport at all - no buses, no trains, no taxis. Very genuinely, you can walk anywhere in the city centre within a matter of minutes. Dublin City is quite literally on your doorstep!
However, if you want to travel further afield, there are 3 taxi ranks on Dame Street itself (mere seconds away); there's a Dublin Bikes station across the street; dozens of bus routes within 50 metres; Jervis LUAS (tram) station is 5 minutes walk, and Stephen's Green LUAS (tram) station is 8 minutes walk; and Tara Street and Pearse Street DART (train) stations are both less than 10 minutes walk. If you're looking to travel out of Dublin, you can be in Connolly Station, Heuston Station or Busaras within 10-15 minutes. It's also a 2 minute walk from the Aircoach's Trinity College/College Green stop (Aircoach is an express airport-to-city bus service, which runs every 10 minutes and will get you to or from the airport in just 20 minutes).
Other Things to Note
Ordinarily, the minimum booking is 2 or 3 nights (depending on whether it's a midweek or weekend booking). However, I'll always try to facilitate one-night bookings. Again, just ask!
Standard check-in is at any arranged time from 3pm-9pm. If you require a check-in outside of these hours, please let me know prior to submitting a reservation request. Standard check-out is before 10am on the day of departure.
Please note that the weekly rate does not apply for special events or holidays, including St Patrick's Festival week.
This is a residential building so please be considerate and respectful towards neighbours - this includes all the usual stuff but particularly noise, especially in common areas (entrance, stairs, hallway etc) between 10pm-8am).
Please don't smoke - neither in the apartment itself nor anywhere else in the building. Hanging out a window isn't an acceptable solution, I'm afraid. The only option is to exit the building and smoke on the street.
Please don't engage in any sort of behavior or activity that could or might cause damage, injury or anything else that we'd all probably prefer didn't happen. If you break or damage something, please inform me immediately - and it will have to be paid for.
Please don't invite anyone - whether known to you or not - into the apartment without first clearing it with me. Only individuals named on the original reservation can stay in the apartment.
Guests are advised to have their own personal policy of insurance in case of accidents, personal injury or loss/damage to property. No responsibility is accepted by the host for any losses, damage or personal injury sustained by any uninsured guest during their stay. By making your booking you agree to these terms and conditions.

A great stay! Garrett was very responsive throughout the process and was gracious to meet us after a late night flight with provisions. The location couldn't have been better, with everything you could want within walking distance. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place! Don't hesitate to book here!
Location was great! Right on the outskirts of temple bar. Bus stops right outside the door and a very easy walk to Trinity college and Grafton St. Apartment is quaint and suited our needs. It was a bit noisey at night due to being on a main St. but location was key.
The Flat was in an excellent location and Garrett directed us to it well. We were met by his wife who was very friendly and answered any questions we had. The flat was well stocked with everything you would need. very comfortable stay.
They say location is one of the key elements in property and that is true with this apartment! Clean, we'll presented and walking distance to most local points of interest!
Garret supplied a huge amount of information prior to our arrival which allowed us to experience Dublin a lot easier and with more fun!
A small cosy apartment, run well, looked after and more than suitable for 4 people! Would highly recommend to travellers !
Garrett met us on the street right outside his rental and helped us find the door, showed us up to his apartment and got us settled in. The location was great, right on Dame street and the photos outside the windows are exactly as shown in the listing. However, the photo of the bathroom is not the bathroom in Garrett's apartment; the actual bathroom is not nearly that nice. Some of the furniture in the photos are no longer there either.
If you are looking to be right in the middle of the action in the Temple Bar area on Dame Street within walking distance of Dublin Castle, the Guinness Storehouse, the Jameson distillery, Trinity College and numerous pubs and restaurants this is the place for you. Just note that it is small, there is no TV in the apartment and, overall, it could be cleaner.
This apartment was perfect. It was close to the pubs, breweries, and is right across the street from the Dublin castle. Also the little restaurant downstairs makes the best scones. Garret was great and gave us a list of all the good restaurants, bars, breweries and other things we could see. We would definitely stay here again if we come to Dublin.
Location is fantastic. Perfect for site seeing, restaurants and shopping around Temple Bar area. The apartment was very comfortable. We loved watching the daily and nightly life go by from the living room windows. Garrett was very informative and very welcoming. We highly recommend Garrett's apartment for any small group who would like to stay in central Dublin.
About the Host, Garrett
A native Dubliner back living in Dublin after stints in New York, London and the West of Ireland. Fond of travelling but always happy to get back to Dublin. The apartment I have listed is right in the very centre of Dublin City - very genuinely, it couldn't be any more central; the centre of the centre, if you like.

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has reportedly blasted his company's new business partner Comcast and other Internet service providers for their take on net neutrality.
Hastings said that without strong net neutrality, big ISPs could demand potentially escalating fees for the interconnection required to deliver high-quality service.
This comes a month after Netflix opted to pay up for better direct access to Comcast's network.
According to TechHive, Hastings's comments are the first time his company has tackled net neutrality since an appeals court struck down the FCC's net neutrality rules back in January.
Net neutrality advocates fear that without strong rules, ISPs will be able to charge for premium access to their networks, speeding up services for companies willing to pay for the privilege.
Hastings has called out Comcast as a backer of the kind of 'weak' net neutrality that isn't enough to protect an open, competitive Internet.
He further wrote in his blog that to ensure the Internet remains humanity's most important platform for progress, net neutrality must be defended and strengthened.
Meanwhile, StreamingMediaBlog pointed out that Netflix didn't detail any net neutrality rules of its own and argued that Hastings and Netflix's partners were speaking in high-level terms without really digging into what strong net neutrality rules should look like, the report added.

"Love these announcements! I've had many compliments on them, especially the paper quality as well as the picture quality. They arrived very quickly as well. I would definitely order these again."
"Loved the final product! Dots and "introducing" are really a silver metallic if that changes your view in any way. Easy to change font and wording of birth info. I also added a picture on the back and added handwritten personal message there. I had tiny prints print addresses and add stamps... looked great and made it much easier for me to get them out."
"Everything came out as expected, I love them! The paper is a high quality matte that I'm pleased with and the print is perfect. The customer service at Tiny Prints is what has more ordering over and over. My first experience was about a year ago - my sister was graduating from high school and she placed her own order and accidentally messed up some wording. Tiny Prints helped me rectify the problem quickly and kindly. With this order, I got a personal, handwritten note from Luke, which I thought was a nice touch!"
"This design completely met all our expectations and more. We've done many different kinds of cards in the past but this was our first at tiny prints. This image quality, paper quality, colors and design has been by far our favorite experience and of course it was the announcement of our girl which only added to the excitement."
"I love the birth announcements I ordered! The colors are beautiful. The paper is high quality and sturdy. The fonts are fun and the design is creative and modern. I'd highly recommend."

The off camera flash is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment in our camera bags. It can serve as our main light source, an accent light, or be used to simply fill in shadow areas of a high contrast scene. Recently I have been experimenting using the flash to illuminate foreground subjects in the landscape. I first came up with the idea when photographing a lava beach in Hawaii.

Coach praises Ben Roethlisberger
Updated: August 3, 2010, 8:01 PM ETAssociated Press
LATROBE, Pa. -- If Ben Roethlisberger's offseason troubles are bothering him, Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians certainly hasn't noticed.
Less than a week into training camp, Arians' assessment of his quarterback: Never been better.
Arians can't remember Roethlisberger being in such good shape or throwing the ball this well so early during any of his previous six camps. He has yet to be intercepted during team drills, and Roethlisberger has gone entire practices without throwing ...

This is the only Novaks problem
The only reason why Novak isn't as popular as Roger or Rafa, is ... well he is just not cool enough.
It has nothing to do with his game, or his personality. He is amazing tennis player, he is super nice to everyone... but he just doesn't look cool, and there is nothing he can do about it.
How can he compare to these guys really? He can't, he just can't.
Novak is No1 player for 2 years now, and has 5 times less followers on facebook then Roger or Rafa.
And he posts regularly, has live chats with fans. Guy tries really hard! And STILL he can't even compare to Rafas or Rogers popularity.
Bring back Pirate Rafa!
That thread is going to be GROAT :)
Form is temporary, Class is permanent.
Djokovic will be the qunitessential guy who tries so hard to get tennis fans like him, only to be disappointed.
Nole looks nerdy.
Are you sure that is the only problem he has? You think the fact that he has 5 slams less than Nadal, and double digit slams less than Federer has nothing to do with it?
His game could be quite boring too. I mean, he does everything well (except volleys), but tennis fans are used to the polar- opposite images of Federer, the shot-making artist, and Nadal, the top-spinning brute. They both attract a great deal of fans for being on one end of the extreme alone. Let's face it, people like winners, but moreover, people like winners who have style. Djokovic currently is miles behind Federer and Nadal in that department.
Don't you think he is less popular because he was never party of one of the greatest rivalries of all time.
The upcoming young Spanyard challenging the future GOAT.
Or how about his freaking booooring game.
There's really nothing attractive about his game, ugly strokes, grinding....
Fed's the greatest shotmaker of all time, having it all.
Nadal's producing a freakish amount of spin, fighting spirit...
Federer and Nadal were there first, fans for a few years tended to fall into one of those camps. Djokovic will always be playing catch up.
Plus I know a lot of Federer fans dont like the way Nadal plays but it made for a great match up(if you were a Nadal fan!). Djokovic's matchups with either Federer or Nadal dont seem to produce the same excitement.
Djokovic is a great guy. The thing for him is that Federer and Nadal combo outright dominated everything, everywhere for six season pretty much. That is a long time in tennis, and would have had a huge amount of fans emotionally invested in them, because they were the face of tennis for so long.
Djokovic has had to fight hard just to break through the Fedal era, and show that he also is a natural born champion just like those two are, but it takes time to change things around. Fans have been captivated and enthralled by the personalities, the matches, the style of Roger and Rafa, and they were the only story for so so long.
Novak took the first step back in 2011, but he is going to have to show the world that he is a champion with a heart, with passion and continue to do the best he can. That is all he can do, and let the chips fall where they will.
The fact that Roger and Rafa are still active sort of keeps him from truly getting all fans. He may keep winning, but circumstances made those other 2 that popular and revered and as long as they are around I can't see Novak winning a popularity contest against them. Like it's been said, Rafa vs Roger, polar opposites, legend killer vs greatest of all time, etc.
Who cares?
The rankings will speak for themselves.
Why does popularity matter to you? I thought we were watching tennis, not Mrs. World.
Djokovic is the least likeable #1 player since Lendl. His PONG game is boring. Textbook/robotic game that is snooze inducing. He is not charismatic like Federer and Nadal. Look at his facebook followers. Nothing compared to Federer and Nadal. His fan base is smallish. He looks like a nerd. He can try to be a comedian but that's not enough. He doesn't have the x-factor. His best slam(4 of his 6 slams won) is the AO which has the least history and tradition and is considered the mickey mouse slam by some people.
**** is just unfortunate looking. It also doesn't help that he's aging so fast, making him look even worse. Oh, and he also has a lousy personality with a duller than dishwater game. There's a reason he is still not popular, even after dominating the tour for 2 years, and being around for even longer than that.

how can there be posters like you here and, well, the rest of these clowns.

Sania Mirza and Bethanie Mattek-Sands entered the women's doubles final of the 2 million dollar Dubai Duty Free tennis championship in Dubai on Friday, according to information received here.
The Indo-American duo got the better of Cara Black and Anastasia Rodionova with a 6-2, 7-5 win in the semi-final on Friday.
PTI adds
Sania and Bethanie had to work hard for points as Black and Rodionova fought well in the contest, lasting in one hour and 20 minutes.
Sania and Bethanie now await winner of the other semifinal between the pairs of Nuria Llagostera Vives/Jie Zheng and Nadia Petrova/ Katarina Srebotnik.

One of the largest writing conferences anywhere on the west coast is approaching quickly: the 2012 San Francisco Writers Conference, happening Feb. 16-19, 2012 (President's Day weekend). This event typically sells out every year and attracts more than 20 literary agents, to say nothing of the large amount of authors and editors who are also part of the program. Keep reading to learn more.
(See a large list of writers conferences.)
The event is held from Feb. 16-19, 2012, at the Historic Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco. The hotel is in the neighborhood of Nob Hill, and there is a special conference rate.
There are more writers conference speakers here than I can even name. Just see them all on the Speaker Page. But know for starters that more than 20 literary agents are there as well as more than 10 editors (including me). That is a lot of people to rub elbows with and pitch. Perhaps you will meet with me, as I am editing query letters and novel synopses.
Concerning the sessions, a full list of sessions is available online, but know that there are multiple sessions during each time period, allowing attendees to choose their favorite choice each time. There are also keynote lunches, author book signings, "Ask a Pro" sessions on how to sell more books and more.
Lots. Check out the website. Of particular note is the Speed Dating for Writers, where you can meet an agent quickly.

Halftime Chili
The chili recipe from Bon Appetit, with my tweaks from when we made it in October, 2010. Skipped the thyme, basil and whatever else, used just a dash of cumin and cinnamon (per user reviews) and kicked in a few dashes of ground cayenne pepper. The beer was Captain Bastard's from Squatters in SLC. Also, added the beans after about the first 15 minutes of final simmering, along with a Cadbury Royal Dark chocolate bar.
Yield: 1 serving

.. I know this is a taboo subject to speak of : but I found when out at night by myself in Vientienne it was extremely difficult to avoid confrontations with local prostitutes. As I travel "solo"I would notice while walking at night the girls would follow me and if I crossed the street once I noticed them they would also cross the street. Of course any form of contact , whether it was speech or being stopped in some form was always to be avoided but I found here that the women were extremely aggressive if they were not being noticed. and maybe three at a time that would try and "bail you up". Usually it is always a "sorry not tonight". This can be a damned annoying situation . Anyway, here I found it to be a real problem.They had the hostels targeted along with the male guests..

Freedom For Sale
I saw this happening at a couple of temples. Some enterprising locals offer to release caged birds for a small fee. It works out at about 50 cents per bird. My question is, "Why were they captured in the first place?'. Basically they want you to feel sorry for the birds and and do your bit to secure their freedom. The birds are soon back in their cages though - I stayed at that temple for a while - long after most other folk had left and I saw how they went about recapturing all of their semi-tame little birds.
Fun Alternatives: The best way to support their freedom is by just not supporting the practice. They wouldn't be put into cages in the first place if noone was paying for their release.
My great-grandfather made money selling his trained pigeons to the local gun club, whichis kind of the same thing. I still don't approve though :-)
Dual Pricing System
It's everywhere you go and there's nothing you can do about it. At most tourist attractions two admission prices are clearly advertised - one for tourists and one for locals. Sometimes it's a little more and sometimes double. I guess they charge tourists extra because we can pay it.
Unique Suggestions: If you go in knowing this and accept it, then it won't bother you. There's no point worrying about 50 cents here and a dollar there because this is often what the difference amounts to. At least they are open about it - it's always clearly advertised so there are no surprises.
Cheap Ganja!!! (Vang Vieng)
Ganja must be one of the biggest tourist traps in Lao.
Here is my theory:
the locals sell cheap ganja to tourists for around 20 000 kip (2 usd), wich is good :-)
BUT when you get your munchies....
you will qickly spend your well earned money on exensive food like: pizza, banana pancake and fruit shake (can be cheap) .... :-)
Unique Suggestions: If you are traveling on a budget i recommend you stickto sticky rice and sunflowerseeds for the munchies :-)
- Budget Travel
Beggers, especially young kids come out in the morning. They are always happy and greet you loudly "sabaidi" with both hands close together.
There are a lot of them, carrying little brother or sister on their back. You dont know what to do with them.
Unique Suggestions: If you are not prepare to give, just smile and said no. They will then leave you alone..
City maps
In some tourist agencies and restaurants you can buy this "hand made" city plan, full of advertising.
It costs 2 USD and is OK if you have nothing else, but...
Unique Suggestions: if you arrive by plane you can have one FOR FREE at the airport. In the same hall where U get the visa there are piles of them. So take one there...
... or take several and sell them in Vientiane, LOL
A hideous peace of concrete
This a Vicrory Gate which construction they stopped at the end of 60's. If you want a fine view all around Vientiane, climb up to the gate otherwise there is not much to see. There are some souvenir shops inside.
Unique Suggestions: Go to top and take some photos.
- Historical Travel
- Architecture
Ethnic Cultural Park
is a bit of a disappointment. A good location by the river with a view of the Mittaphap bridge. There was nothing ethnic about the place, a good place for a few relaxing moments, to refresh yourself with a drink while enjoying the river...
Anousavari Monument - a platform with no view
Anousavari Monument is a French-looking triumphal arch built in 1969 before the communist take-over and located a few miles away from Vientiane center. It's placed right in the middle of a road, north east of Lane Xang Rd. The monument is dedicated to the Lao soldiers who died in wars defending their country, but the reason for visiting it is to (officially) climb it up for great views. Problem is: there's nothing to look onto, from the top.
Unique Suggestions: Bring a very powerful zoom and take pics of That Luang in the distance, or else count the number of cars: you'll be amazed at how few youcan see,giving that Vientiane is the capital.
Fun Alternatives: Save the 1,000 kip (or so) climbing fee and give it to someone in need - there's enough people in Vientiane who could need thus money, although it's very little (about 10 cents in fact).

In 1977 he took the two major indoors ( in one of the finals beating Borg, even if losing in the rr to Vilas) BUT ALSO played the Wimbledon and US Open finals.
Maybe he didn´t have as many minor wins as in 76, but in the big events he fared far better...
so 1977 Connors outclasses 1976 Connors.
Hello Kiki!
I don't rate the WCT Finals fields in 1976 and 1977 as being particularly strong. Prior years especially were stronger.76 lacked Connors and 77 lacked Borg. Not a deciding factor in my eyes. Connors winning the 77 Masters over Borg was much more worthy.
1976 Connors was better overall in my view, won more tournaments, had a better win-loss record and won a Grand Slam tournament under pressure, beating Borg in probably the crunch showdown of the year fairly and squarely.

Thousands Feared Dead After Haiti Earthquake
Estimates of the dead have ranged from the thousands to the hundreds of thousands, but the numbers are impossible to confirm in the midst of chaos. Robert Siegel and Melissa Block on the latest in Haiti.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
And I'm Melissa Block.
We are hearing these descriptions of the disaster in Haiti after yesterday's earthquake: catastrophe, horrific, unbelievable, devastating. Estimates of the dead have ranged from the thousands to the hundreds of thousands. But the numbers are impossible to confirm in the midst of chaos.
SIEGEL: In the streets, piles of rubble, buildings flattened, bodies stacked on top of each other, hospitals overwhelmed or destroyed. And people terrified to go inside any buildings as severe aftershocks continue.
BLOCK: Sonia Khush is the director of emergency response for Save The Children based in Washington, D.C. She heard this story about the quakes aftermath from a staff member on the ground in the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince.
Ms. SONIA KHUSH (Director, Emergency Response, Save the Children): He said the air was completely grey. It was full of dust. He could hear screaming and wailing. And then about an hour and a half later, it became dark. You know, it was nightfall and there was no electricity, so it was completely dark. And he said it was a surreal experience through the night because he could hear alternating sounds of first screaming and wailing and then occasionally he'd hear some cheering, you know, as somebody was found, for example, in the rubble and then hear screaming and wailing again.
And this went on throughout the night. And as aftershocks continued, he - they could continue to hear buildings falling. When my colleagues went out and about today, they just saw people sort of wondering the streets in shock. Nobody went back into their houses overnight because they are very afraid of aftershocks. There is so much destruction and damage. So, one of the first things we want to do is get a safe either plastic sheeting or some kind of tarp, you know, over people's heads to provide with them with a minimum amount of shelter.

India's PC market is reported to have plummeted by 19.9% due to the absence of any government orders in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The combined desk-based and mobile PC market in India totaled around1.96 million units, reporting a decrease of 19.9% over the same period last year.
According to the Enterprise Innovation, HP remained the top brand with a market share of 21.3%, up by 3% compared to the last quarter in 2012. However, second placer Dell, grew its market share from 11.2% in 2012 to 18.6% in 2013, mainly due to the strong notebook sales, which it said increased 49% year over year.
The principal research analyst at Gartner Vishal Tripathi said that consumers accounted for 49% of total PC sales in the fourth quarter of 2013.

representatives or symbols of a larger group in order to influence the behavior of a third party, usually a government. What sets terrorism apart from other forms of political violence, even the most proximate forms like guerrilla warfare, is the deliberate targeting of civilians, not as an unintended consequence of warfare, but as deliberate strategy.
The operational code of the current generation of transnational terrorists is to use the strengths of Western democracies against us. For example, they exploit a free press to amplify their actions and spread the fear their operations inspire. And they exploit the openness of society to operate covertly. Although basic training and recruitment may occur in the open (much as Al Qaeda operated in Afghanistan), operational planning and training are often undertaken in an undercover manner. That is, the individuals, the organizations, and their leadership attempt to keep their identities, communications, plans, and locations from being known to the targeted nation even when the terrorists are within the borders of the nation being targeted.
In addition, terrorists are prepared often to give up their lives, take the lives of innocent bystanders, and disavow other conventional forms of value in pursuit of their goals. This ferocity of commitment makes deterrence more complicated than it might be for nation-to-nation confrontation. In stark terms, what might serve to deter a suicide bomber? Whatever the answer is to this question, death is not it.
Lastly, for most practical purposes, terrorists do not appear to place many limits on the violence that they are willing to perpetrate,2 and so the specter of terrorists with weapons of mass destruction looms large in counterterrorist efforts. Likewise, the highly interdependent nature of modern society leaves the United States (and other developed nations)
A memo found on an Al Qaeda computer in late 2001 appeared to indicate that even Al Qaeda recognized some limits on the extent of violence they were willing to perpetrate. The memo said that:
Because of Saddam and the Baath Party, America punished a whole population. Thus its bombs and its embargo killed millions of Iraqi Muslims. And because of Osama bin Laden, America surrounded Afghans and bombed them, causing the death of tens of thousands of Muslims … God said to assault whoever assaults you, in a like manner … In killing Americans who are ordinarily off limits, Muslims should not exceed four million non-combatants, or render more than ten million of them homeless. We should avoid this, to make sure the penalty [that we are inflicting] is no more than reciprocal. God knows what is best.
Cited in A. Cullison, "Inside Al Qaeda's Hard Drive," The Atlantic Monthly, pp. 55-70, September 2004.

Tight security in Jakarta ahead of court ruling on election fraud case
Published on Aug 21, 2014 12:52 PM
JAKARTA (AFP) - An Indonesian court is expected to uphold Joko Widodo's victory in last month's presidential election, rejecting claims of widespread cheating from his opponent after weeks of political uncertainty in the world's third-biggest democracy.
Ahead of the Constitutional Court ruling on Thursday, hundreds of supporters of Prabowo Subianto, the ex-general who lost the election, were staging noisy rallies in Jakarta while police and soldiers were out in force around the capital.
"I believe that Prabowo is the true president," said Dalianto, a 57-year-old supporter at a rally in downtown Jakarta. "The election commission cheated in their count of the votes."
The court is set to hand down its ruling on Thursday afternoon after two weeks of hearings, with independent analysts expecting the nine-judge panel to reject Prabowo's challenge. The verdict cannot be appealed.
