Executive Assistant: Iris #3 [Aspen Comics] Review
Posted on March 15, 2013 AT 10:38pm
The Executive Extinction is hitting its stride with this issue of Executive Assistant: Iris ending the third part, of this five part, crossover series. While Iris is very similar in plot to its sister book, Executive Assistant: Assassins, it has a bit of it's own underlying plot as it follows Iris in her journey to help her fellow Assistants, stop Mazutsu, and continue her work both as an Assistant, working for the highest bidder, and as an undercover C.I.A. agent. In this issue, she runs into some problems on both ends with the group of Assistants running into a new and unfamiliar foe. On top of that, Iris' second job causing her some stress as well.
The plot on Iris' side of the story is beginning to hit a major turn with the end of the issue showing some major signs of trouble for the expert Assistant. While her story is offset throughout most of this tale, her work as a C.I.A. agent and seeing a brand new side of the story is entertaining, although a bit of a flashback to the last issue of Assassins. Her work with Wheeler, with the C.I.A., and with her fellow Assistants is exciting and packed with action. The story of these expertly trained women is looking like it's on an excellent track. The plot structure of this series during this particular event has been the only problem with the title thus far as it follows a predictable structure that limits what Iris actually does within her own title. The beginning of the issue reflects some of her plot, following it up with most of the events of the previous issue of Assassins, then ends with some more of her plot line. This takes a lot of time away from the exploration of Iris, though this book is meant to start off in the middle of this massive event, so it's at least justified.
Writer David Wohl is still doing a great job with this title, creating the flip side to the coin of the Executive Extinction. While it seems his workload is lessened due to the work Vince Hernandez does on the partnering title, this does not mean he's not done a lot of work to get it to properly fit and isn't doing well with the title. Iris is an incredibly interesting character, and with two issues to go in this event for Iris, it'll be a treat to see where Wohl goes from here.
Alex Lei and Siya Oum also keep up the intense pace of the title here. The differences in the artwork in this title and Assassins are noticeable, but only to a certain point. Casual readers may not even catch that it's a different art team, because each title is meshing so well. While the environments are a bit basic (there are a lot of panels with just a monochromatic color background), the detail work in the panels that have things to see are well done, and overall this feels like an Aspen title, and one of the better quality as an overall title.
Summary: The Executive Extinction is going strong, and with six issues down, the series is beginning to really hit a major stride. The end of the third arc of the crossover has introduced new characters and some startling developments. While Iris is a bit of an echo in terms of the two titles, it has its own story that is developing into its own exciting sub-plot. With hope that this pace continues, Executive Assistant: Iris #3 is a fun read, just as the entire series has been thus far.
Pro's: Solid Writing, Artwork.
Con's: Not Enough Plot Devoted To Iris, Bulk Of Material Is From Previous Issue Of EA: Assassins.

December 26, 2013
As Christmas approached this year, PennDOT District 4-0 employees participated in the Holiday Wish Program. The program sponsors a family through (SLHDA) Lackawanna Human Development Agency Head Start Program. They sponsor a family in the Scranton Area.
The idea came about when a group of employees, headed by John Pivovarnik a squad leader from the Roadway Department formed a committee and decided to adopt the family from the Lackawanna Human Development Agency Head Start Program. John's wife Stephanie worked for Lackawanna Human Development Agency told him about the program.
Pivovarnik was surprised by all the gifts that were donated and amount of money that was collected on such short notice.
"The District really made this families Christmas with the wonderful gifts that we were able to get them," said Pivovarnik. But more important we gave them hope for the future."
The committee encouraged everyone to participate in the program and they would be acknowledged by placing an ornament with their name on the District Office Christmas tree. They also decided to have a friendly competition between design, maintenance and construction to see what department would have more employees participating in the program. The winner of the completion will place a star with their Division's Name on top of the tree.

Jan 26, 2014Drawing from the wellspring of her own life, Forbes' agile tone allows the film to indulge in heartbreak and humor with equal measure.
Forbes has a delicate but unsentimental approach, which gives her film the same infectious energy that blesses and curses Cameron. The end result feels good without feeling superficial.
Ruffalo, a master of rumpled befuddlement, finds his signature role here—it can't be overstated how deftly he eases into the tricky creation, a blue-blooded slacker who aches when the world won't hug him back.
Forbes brings a marvelous warmth and specificity to this story of a mixed-race family struggling to survive, aided considerably by one of Mark Ruffalo's richest, most appealing performances.
A feel-good picture that is a little less affecting than it might have been, but is entertaining enough.
Forbes' script simply cannot make the things she lived through alive for us in anything but the most glib, shallow and contrived way.

CORVALLIS, Ore. Researchers in the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University have discovered yet another reason why the "sulforaphane" compound in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables is so good for you it provides not just one, but two ways to prevent cancer through the complex mechanism of epigenetics.
Epigenetics, an increasing focus of research around the world, refers not just to our genetic code, but also to the way that diet, toxins and other forces can change which genes get activated, or "expressed." This can play a powerful role in everything from cancer to heart disease and other health issues.
Sulforaphane was identified years ago as one of the most critical compounds that provide much of the health benefits in cruciferous vegetables, and scientists also knew that a mechanism involved was histone deacetylases, or HDACs. This family of enzymes can interfere with the normal function of genes that suppress tumors.
HDAC inhibitors, such as sulforaphane, can help restore proper balance and prevent the development of cancer. This is one of the most promising areas of much cancer research. But the new OSU studies have found a second epigenetic mechanism, DNA methylation, which plays a similar role.
"It appears that DNA methylation and HDAC inhibition, both of which can be influenced by sulforaphane, work in concert with each other to maintain proper cell function," said Emily Ho, an associate professor in the Linus Pauling Institute and the OSU College of Public Health and Human Sciences. "They sort of work as partners and talk to each other."
This one-two punch, Ho said, is important to cell function and the control of cell division which, when disrupted, is a hallmark of cancer.
"Cancer is very complex and it's usually not just one thing that has gone wrong," Ho said. "It's increasingly clear that sulforaphane is a real multi-tasker. The more we find out about it, the more benefits it

Drug firms argue against $1.2B Arkansas judgment
Thursday - 2/27/2014, 3:50pm EST
Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- A lawyer for two pharmaceutical companies argued Thursday that the Arkansas Supreme Court should reverse a $1.2 billion judgment because the trial judge improperly applied a law in the state's lawsuit over improper marketing of the antipsychotic drug Risperdal.
Attorney Walter Dellinger said there was no fraud or improper reimbursements for Medicaid patients who were prescribed the drug, even though the state pursued Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary, Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc., under the state's Medicaid fraud statute.
"There was no harm to the state Medicaid program," Dellinger said.
Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel's office hired an outside law firm to handle the case. Washington, D.C.-based attorney David Frederick argued for the state, saying the companies didn't properly communicate the risks of the drug and marketed it for off-label use.
"That is fraud," Fredericks said.
Risperdal was introduced in 1994 as a "second-generation" antipsychotics drug that earned Johnson & Johnson billions of dollars in sales before generic versions became available years ago. It is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and irritability in autism patients.
Risperdal and similar antipsychotics drugs have been linked to increased risk of strokes and death in elderly patients, seizures, weight gain and diabetes.
McDaniel said after oral arguments that he's confident the state will prevail. A $330 million verdict against J&J and Janssen in Louisiana was overturned last month, but McDaniel said Louisiana's law is different from Arkansas'.
"Sixty-five legislators from both parties signed onto an amicus brief indicating that this is precisely why the Legislature gave the attorney general broad powers to enforce fraud -- to protect taxpayer dollars and to protect patients," McDaniel said.
Since Circuit Judge Tim Fox's ruling in 2012, Arkansas convened its first Republican-dominated Legislature in the state's modern history, McDaniel noted.
"They didn't change one word of this act," he said.
A group of 35 attorneys general also filed a friend of the court brief in support of upholding the trial court's judgment.
The lower court ordered the companies, both based in New Jersey, to pay $5,000 for each of 240,000 Risperdal prescriptions the state Medicaid program paid for during a 3 1/2-year span. Fox also fined the companies $2,500 for each of more than 4,500 letters Janssen sent to Arkansas doctors that the state said downplayed Risperdal's side effects. That totaled about $11 million.
In a separate action brought by the Justice Department, Johnson & Johnson agreed in November to pay more than $2.2 billion to resolve criminal and civil allegations that the company promoted powerful psychiatric drugs, including Risperdal, for unapproved uses in children, seniors and disabled patients.
The agreement was the third-largest settlement with a drug maker in U.S. history. The Arkansas judgment was the largest in state history. The companies are also appealing an award of 15 percent of the judgment in attorney fees.
The high court will rule later.
J&J and Janssen are also awaiting a ruling by the South Carolina Supreme Court. The companies have an appeal pending of a $327 million judgment, in a similar case.

In 2004, when London transplant Keith McNally was already nearly 25 years and eight restaurants into building one of the most formidable dining dynasties in the city, the New York Times called him "the restaurateur who invented downtown." Even in retrospect, that was hardly an overstatement, and if McNally is a culinary Edison, his light-bulb moment came with the opening of Balthazar, which he installed in the middle of Soho in 1997, transforming a leather tannery into a swanky French brasserie and bakery. The neighborhood came into its own around its new resident, the remaining warehouses giving way to chic fashion houses and posh eateries, forming the sparkling (and spendy) Soho we know now. While Balthazar hardly stands out aesthetically these days, it remains a linchpin of the area's restaurant circuit, where VIPs, some of them famous, eat pastries and sip coffee over newspapers at their regular tables each morning; tourists attempt to wrangle a brunchtime seat; business types plot their next move; and dinnertime diners dig into classics like steak frites, which manager Erin Wendt calls the "foundation of the kitchen." And that is Balthazar's staying power: It is one of those rare spots that bring many walks of New York life together under one roof.

Those of you just arriving on the planet may have heard a little something about the Affordable Care Act and the fact that it has a lot of folks worried about just how it will all work. Well, apparently these concerns have been heard, at least to some extent, in Washington.
The Treasury Department recently announced that certain employer and insurer reporting requirements under the ACA would not be implemented until 2015. Specifically, the ACA includes information reporting (under section 6055) by insurers, self-insuring employers, and other parties that provide health coverage. It also requires information reporting (under section 6056) by certain employers with respect to the health coverage offered to their full-time employees. The Administration expects to publish proposed rules implementing these provisions this summer, after a dialogue with employers and insurers. The intent of the delay is to "minimize the reporting, consistent with effective implementation of the law" and provide time for employers and others to adapt.
The big news is that, absent fulfillment of the reporting requirements, it would be impractical to determine responsibility payments (under section 4980H) for 2014. As a result, these health care reform "pay-or-play" penalties for employers that were set to take effect in 2014 will also be delayed until 2015.
The announcement states that other provisions of the ACA, such as employee access to premium tax credits, will not be affected, and strongly encourages employers to maintain or expand health coverage in 2014.

Despite the management lifting the lockout at its plant on Monday, Toyota workers refused to sign a code of conduct and did not return to work.
"About 500 workers gathered outside the plant to resume their work. However, the management insisted on signing some documents which had a code of conduct," Prasanna Kumar, president, Toyota Kirloskar Motor Union.
Kumar said the undertaking is against their right as workers.
"We have to think about ourselves. We cannot afford to put our right on stake," he said.
The union also demanded to reverse their decision to suspend 17 workers. No company officials were immediately available for comment. But Kumar said the union had asked the state government "to direct the company to lift the lockout unconditionally", claiming the shutdown was illegal as it was declared without a statutory two-week notice period.
Even on Saturday, the union had said they will not sign any undertaking.
The union alleged that the management is exploiting the workers by following unfair labour practices.
Toyota said it will keep the plants open for team members to join duty on the condition that they would sign good conduct undertaking.
"The company will welcome any steps that the Karnataka government can take to resolve the matter at the earliest," a company statement said.

Also that the church's eyes will be opened and they begin to operate as the LORD sees fit. There are qualifications that men who desire to be Bishops, Pastors, Elders and Overseers MUST MEET! Some men try to hide themselves from these requirements(that can be found in the book of 1st Timothy) by stating they are not "Bishops" but instead "Pastors" because the Apostle Paul begins the address to church leadership, "If any man desires the office of a "Bishop..." However, the words Bishop, Pastor, Elder and Overseer all mean EXACTLY the same thing in the original language of Paul's address to Timothy which is greek. The words all come from the word "Episkimo" in the Greek. ALL Pastors are held to this same standard and should be constantly examined by the church to ensure this is so. Most Pastors will casually say "I'm just a servant" but how many actually believe this? Galilee and surrounding "churches" PLEASE WAKE UP! GOD has given us a way to avoid being "led astray". Let's not ignore it. Pray for ALL the families involved. And members of Galilee, don't be fooled and pressured into keeping quiet when and or if questioned by authorites! SPEAK THE TRUTH, because the TRUTH will set you free and maybe even the Pastor in question! GOD hates liars, but HE delights in RIGHTEOUSNESS! Regardless of what happens in this investigation, remember that no authority supercedes that of THE GOD of creation. He will judge fairly. -Parishioner
"Another Parishioner". Are you a current member of the church (Just wanna know)?
Your concerns are extremely valid. Like most black pastors, John Harris has set up a dictatorship. He has surrounded himself with people that will never stand up against him, and those that do are often publicly humiliated, leaving other members and even clergy afraid to address his sin. As I originally stated, TWENTY YEARS this man has been in the middle of such allegations!!! I've spoken to members of the clergy about this man's sin and beleive me when I say IT IS NO SECRET!!!!!! The clergyman just kept saying "pray for him." He does indeed have my prayers but he needs to have a seat! He is not fit to lead a church with so much going on in his life. If these cowardly clergy loved this preacher OR this church at all, they would sit him down so that he can be counselled and if he is unrepentitive he should be permantly excommunicated from the church. Think about the people that are hurt by these situatiions... His wife must be devestated... The church is obviously scarred... And the women and their respective families are no doubt experiencing hardship... My suggestion to you "Another Parishioner", is to seek the LORD about leaving the church. But if HE does indeed tell you to stay, then STAY and NEVER "just keep quiet"! Speak the TRUTH... In gentleness and LOVE. But NEVER WAIVER!
Be strong my brother or sister...

We spent a week at the amazing villa Nicobar in March 2014.
The villa has stunning views of Deep Bay that made all of our friends back home in the cold jealous.
The rooms were immaculate and spacious and the outdoor/indoor living space was ideal for our group of 9. We had a couple of minor problems that after emailing Nigel - were fixed in a timely manner. We also loved the outdoor sound system - which made us think that we needed one for our own places back home.
Our only regret is that we didn't hire the Chef to cook for us. :)
We highly recommend staying Villa Nicobar - and will be back one day!
"We enjoyed a wonderful week at Villa Nicobar with its spectacular views over Deep Bay and luxurious accommodation. The living space and outside terrace/pool would give most 5 star hotels a run for their money and it is ideally located with easy access to St Johns and the rest of the island.
Merle the housekeeper was really helpful and made our stay extra special. Our only complaint was that a week wasn't really enough!"
Richard & Family April 2014
We had a great time in Antigua staying at Villa Nicobar.
The view from the large terrace is outstanding.
The villa was in an excellent condition, all utilities worked
without any problems. The housekeeping was very friendly and
kept all rooms clean and tidy.
You feel right at home with the location of the villa in this
beautiful area. All rooms have a generous size and are well furnished.
Werner Germany Dec 2013
Super stay at Villa Nicobar. The Villa has all the comforts one requires and probably some of the finest views in The Caribbean. The beach at Deep Bay is a good alternative if you want to get out of the house with the children for a few hours. Shops and restaurants all within easy reach. We also spent time at English Harbour and Galleon Beach, as well as Turners Beach( try restaurants Jacqui O's and OJ's).
The Villa accommodated 9 of us in complete luxury and proved a far better option than a hotel.
Merle was a delight and her local knowledge served us well.
Chef Vere cooked for us on 11 occasions and his food was top drawer. His willingness to cook separately for adults and children, and his inventiveness and variety were a pleasure.
Villa Nicobar provided the perfect Caribbean escape from the cold harsh English winter we have just experienced. Highly recommended.

Hi Nigel
I wanted to thank you for your hospitality as we spent 3 great weeks at your lovely Villa Nicobar recently. The view, wow the view is fantastic of the bay below and we miss waking up to it. The villa was great but our trip was made even more special by Merle. Not just how she looked after us, but her company too and she's great with kids.
We loved our 3 weeks and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to our friends. I recommend to anyone however taking the helicopter island your. We went past the villa waving at Merle!
Nigel once again, thanks.
Duncan, Jo, Olivia and Jake.
We had a wonderful experience at Villa Nicobar. I have to admit getting there at dusk was a bit of a challenge but after a few wrong turns and several calls to Merle we made it …and, wow, it was well worth the trip! The stunning views upon entering the villa are simply breathtaking. I would agree with other guests, the pictures on the website are great but even better in person! The main floor bedrooms (which is what we used; 2 couples) were extremely spacious with a fabulous walk in closet & bath in the master. The layout was perfect with the rooms at opposite ends of the villa for maximum privacy. The kitchen is very nice, well equipped with a beautiful granite island. We ate in a few nights & most lunches with no problem. Actually, other than feeling the need to explore the island, we probably would not have left the villa the entire week. When we did venture out we went to Jolly Harbor for lunch, had an amazing dinner at Sheer Rocks at Cocobay Resort (a must), also, Catherine's Café in English Harbor, and I think we hit pretty close to every grocery store on the island. We found the Epicurean Fine Foods (not the one in Jolly Harbor) had the largest, freshest, selection. But mostly, you could find us on the pool deck taking in the amazing views across Deep Bay, watching the boats/yachts come & go. Bliss! No review would be complete, however, without mentioning Merle. She is an absolute gem, so sweet and most helpful. I will not forget her smile. Nigel, thank you for sharing your incredible villa!

An increase in real estate business closures and bankruptcies is an inescapable reality of any housing market downturn, and this cycle has been no different from those past. Though there are no hard statistics that quantify the number of companies that have closed their doors, merged with their competitors or filed for bankruptcy court protection, there's no doubt that closures and bankruptcies are on the rise and that both large and small real estate companies have been involved.
A search of court records for real estate bankruptcies pulled up hundreds of records of personal and corporate filings, and seemingly no segment of the industry has been immune. The lengthy list of Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 filings included individual brokers, sales agents, independent companies, franchises, developers, homebuilders, mortgage brokers, property managers, time-share operators and more.
LandAmerica, Foxtons, Help-U-Sell file bankruptcy
Bankruptcies of real estate companies have included:
- LandAmerica Financial Group, which was the third-largest U.S. title insurance company (see Inman News).
- Help-U-Sell Real Estate, a fee-for-service real estate brokerage franchisor that has nearly 1,000 offices in 46 states (see Inman News).
- Foxtons, a cut-rate commission real estate brokerage company in West Long Branch, N.J. (see Inman News).
- WCI Companies, a Florida-based luxury homebuilder (see Inman News).
- Prudential Americana, a brokerage company in Las Vegas that has 1,100 agents.
- Century 21 Town & Country, a real estate brokerage in Rochester, Mich., that has 550 agents.
- Century 21 Aadvantage Gold, a real estate brokerage in Las Vegas with 300 agents.
- Prudential Cranbrook Realtors, a real estate brokerage in Troy, Mich., that has approximately 90 agents.
- Haskins Realty Northwest, a real estate brokerage in Portland, Ore.
- Charlie Orden, broker/owner of RE/MAX Town Centre, a real estate brokerage in Orlando, Fla., that has approximately 60 agents.
- Ron Raitz, president of Real Estate Exchange Services, a 1031-exchange accommodator in Atlanta.
- Robert and Loraine Dyson, luxury-home real estate brokers in Solana Beach, Calif.
Bankruptcy doesn't necessarily mean a company is out of business. Some, such as Foxtons, do close up shop and liquidate their assets.
But others reorganize and exit bankruptcy or are acquired by their competitors or other saviors: Prudential Americana Group exited bankruptcy in May 2008 and remains the largest brokerage in Nevada, according to a company spokesperson. LandAmerica was bought by Fidelity National Financial. Help-U-Sell was picked up by Infinium Realty Group, a privately held company in Sarasota, Fla., according to Robert Stevens, a spokesman for Infinium.
"Help-U-Sell will definitely continue. The 330 offices are all active and open at the moment," Stevens said.
Still other companies, like Century 21 Town & Country, try to keep their doors open while they attempt to reorganize.
Bill Martin, CEO of the Michigan Association of Realtors in Lansing, Mich., explains that Century 21 Town & Country President John Kersten filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11, which allows for a reorganization, instead of other options that he says "would have been more devastating." …CONTINUED

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster has revealed new manager Pepe Mel already has a strong grasp of English.
Foster admits that the players were taken aback by just how well Mel was able to get his ideas across.
Foster said: "We had heard his language was going to be super-limited but he was fantastic.
"We were told his English wasn't great but on the very first day he sat in front of all the lads and conducted the whole meeting in English.
"He was brilliant. He almost got a round of applause. To stand up in front of 30 people and speak in a language that isn't your native tongue is pretty impressive."

Nearly one year ago, Facebook made perhaps one of its most controversial moves to date: the social network forced its users to download and use the new Messenger app (a companion to the main Facebook app) to continue sending and receiving private correspondence on a mobile device.
Yesterday, at the company's own F8 Developer Conference in San Francisco, Facebook made it clear as to why this was the case: Messenger will now tightly monitor a user's web presence – much like Google Now does – as well integrate with third party apps. Dubbed the Messenger Platform, Facebook intends on providing every Facebook user with a ubiquitous platform through which they can navigate using the internet.
Facebook has announced a new feature for its Messenger app that will allow users to send and receive money from their friends.
People who want to send money in the Messenger app simply start a chat with the designated person, then press the "$" icon and type in the amount of money they want to send. Finally, the user taps the "Pay" selection, adds a debit card and sends the money. To receive funds, the user just taps "Add Card" in a message to add their debit card to get their money. Facebook says: (more…)
It would come as no surprise to people that use Facebook, but there are plenty of ads on the site these days. Some are more intrusive than others, but it is nothing you won't expect from a service that is offered to you for free.
Many smaller companies have found Facebook to be a great way to engage with potential customers, and have taken to the social media service to advertise. Yesterday, 24 February, Facebook announced that it has now reached more than two million active advertisers, most of them SME's (Small and Medium Enterprises). (more…)
Virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) seems to be the latest tech trend these days. From crazy headgear like the Oculus Rift to the "do-it-yourself" Google Cardboard VR. To support these viewing technologies you have to have the software side come to the party as well.
Facebook is currently developing VR versions of their apps. Speaking at Recode's Code Media conference in Dana Point, CA, Chris Cox, the company's head of product, Facebook'd VR app versions are well on its way, but shouldn't be expected to see the light of day very soon. (more…)
Are you feeling guilty about spending so much time on Facebook while you are at work? Well, you don't have to be. Soon you'll have a perfectly legitimate reason to mindlessly scroll through your newsfeed – sort of.
Back in November, we reported on Facebook's plans to launch a totally separate, 'new' Facebook that is specifically geared towards using the platform at work
Facebook at Work (first believed to be called 'Facebook for Work') had a relatively hush-hush, soft-launch on Thursday'. While the platform has not been released entirely to the public just yet, the new, 'productive' version of Facebook has been launched to a few partners for testing. And while there will be different versions for desktop as well as iOS, it's only the app (for iPhone, iPads) that has launched.
So, just how exactly will Facebook at Work, work? (more…)
It's a battle for the social media throne and it looks like the almighty Facebook has the monopoly.
There is no doubt about the fact that Facebook is the King in the ring of social media networks and platform, and now, as Facebook-owned Instagram released their latest user numbers, it has become almost impossible for any other, competing social giant to dethrone the Zuckerberg empire.
It's hard to think that Instagram is only 4 years old. One can hardly imagine a world without a filter on your favourite selfie. However, it is pretty remarkable to see what the company has achieved in a mere 4 years.
In a post published on Instagram's blog recently, CEO Kevin Systrom broke the news that the photo-sharing app has surpassed that 300 million active user mark. This number now makes Instagram a bigger social platform than Twitter. And that's saying something. (more…)
If you thought that you were the only one that thought Apple products are too expensive, think again. It seems that Mr. Facebook himself, the one and only Mark Zuckerberg, shares your sentiments.
In a recent interview with Time magazine, the Facebook founder slammed Apple for their supposedly over-priced products. He was also straight to the point in this no holds barred interview.
The 30-year old also went on to ridicule Apple's stance on free online services:
"A frustration I have is that a lot of people increasingly seem to equate an advertising business model with somehow being out of alignment with your customers…[sic] I think it's the most ridiculous concept. What, you think because you're paying Apple that you're somehow in alignment with them? If you were in alignment with them, then they'd make their products a lot cheaper!" (more…)
As if you don't spend enough time on Facebook, especially at work (am I right?), the social giant is reportedly looking at broadening their horizons once more with the launch of an entirely new platform called 'Facebook for Work.'
The new platform is basically exactly as the name says: it's Facebook, but for work purposes. Facebook for Work will essentially compete with other work-focused social networks like LinkedIn.
According to a report by the Financial Times, 'sources close to the matter' has revealed that Zuckerberg and his minions are trying to break into a market that they have yet to enter.
They've got the messaging part down now, after their record-breaking acquisition of WhatsApp and the recent launch of their own, stand-alone Messenger app (which the company says has more than 500 million monthly active users) so it's only natural that they would be looking at other avenues to generate even more revenue. (more…)

Card catalogs were a convenient way for a library to track their many publications. The cards are arranged in alphabetical order, and each card represents one item in the collection. A user has three ways to look for an item in the library collection: by author, title or subject.
The card catalog began in France when all books in religious houses became targets for the government. France decided to use the books to establish a system of public libraries. The inventory-takers used the blank side of playing cards to record bibliographic information for each book.

Beermen seek tie for lead vs Slingers
SAN MIGUEL Beer hopes for another solid defensive effort when the Beermen shoot for a share of the Asean Basketball League (ABL) lead today against Jobstreet.com Singapore at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
A sixth straight victory in the 3 p.m. game will push the Beermen back on top with the idle Indonesia Warriors at 9-3.
Coach Leo Austria thinks that another solid defensive effort should keep the Beermen's winning streak going in the Asean Basketball League (ABL) today.
The Beermen have limited four of their last five opponents to less than 60 points.
"The players started to embrace the defensive system and we are reaping dividends," said Austria.
Austria praised the locals led by Chris Banchero, Leo Avenido and Asi Taulava for their consistent plays, but also pointed to the intimidating defensive presence that new import Justin Williams had brought to the team. Jasmine W. Payo

This just illustrates my issue with the TNG remastering (that compelled me to return to TOS) where a lot of fans lamented that they wanted the "original" 4:3 format but couldn't make up their minds which is the "original" one.
What looks like a production flaw isn't one because the director could rely (as the TOS directors) that the overscan of a 4:3 tube TV set would trim the upper area and maintain the illusion that events took place on a starship -
and not on a studio set.
Moreover, since the directors of TOS (and TNG) neither expected nor wanted us to see those expendable areas beyond the safe action area but which you feel should be considered, you are technically speaking relying on "behind-the-scenes" material which you otherwise tend to ignore.

Oopsie! Looks like someone had a bit of a "wardrobe malfunction" at the beach the other day. Leave it to Serena Williams to skip the simple nipple slip and go straight for the boob slip. In case you're wondering, these Serena Williams boob slip pictures are from her time off in Barbados where she was playing in a tennis tournament. All I know is I hope she doesn't find out where I live, because after the way she threatened that judge over a minor call, I shudder to think what she'd do to me for posting these pictures of her breasts falling out of her swimsuit. Although, there could be worse ways to die than being bludgeoned to death by Serena Williams' boobs… Right?

"Tired of plain old 'burgers for summertime? Mix it up a bit by adding some classic Greek flavor: spinach, feta, roasted red pepper, and herbs...Yum! Serve these burgers on a warm toasted Kaiser roll, with a delicious feta cheese spread, fresh lettuce, and tomato."

red bell pepper
2 ounces
crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons
2 teaspoons
lime juice
1 sprig
fresh mint, chopped
1 sprig
fresh parsley, chopped
1 pound
lean ground beef
6 ounces
crumbled feta cheese
8 ounces
fresh spinach - rinsed, drained and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup
bread crumbs
1 clove
garlic, minced
1/4 cup
chopped onion
2 sprigs
fresh basil, coarsely chopped
3 sprigs
fresh mint, coarsely chopped
2 sprigs
fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Kaiser rolls, split and toasted
tomato, sliced
4 leaves
I made the following changes: frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed mostly dry, shredded mozzarella, and a large shallot in place of the onion. Also, I only used 1 sprig each of mint and basil. These were pretty decent, very juicy burgers. If anything, I under seasoned them, so they were a bit bland, but nothing a little seasoned salt won't fix. Served one patty over sliced tomatoes and cucumbers with a large dollop of artichoke jalapeno dip over all. Great lunch!
No thanks. Way too much effort for a so-so result.

I made these this summer for my friends and they were a huge hit! Make sure to serve them with the Tzatziki sauce.
Great recipe! I used a 10 oz. box of frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) and my son requested meatloaf instead of burgers so I just mixed up the meat mixture and put it in a loaf pan, baked for about 1 - 1 1/4 hours. I also made the spread for us to put on the meatloaf as we plated it. Great will definitely make again!
EXCELLENT! I put these on Grilled onion ciabatta rolls, and WHOA! AWESOME! A favorite for sure!Thanks! ?
This did take alot of prep, specially cause i had to go and buy all the fresh herbs these burgers required but it was well worth all the effort. It was delicious! I found that the spread needs to be thinned out with a bit more mayo and lime juice but other than that i followed the recipe with very good results.
My burgers fell apart on the grill a bit (probably too much stuff, not finely chopped enough and not enough meat in mine), but they are frickin' delicious! I was pleasantly surprised by the mint. I was wary but it adds just the right touch of...something.
Made burgers, left off the mayo sauce - was amazing! So moist and flavorful and delicious! Looks great on the plate, too! I made a double batch and froze half for next time! Love!

|Number of spaces
|Level 130
|Level 131
|Level 132
Level 131 is the sixth level in Wafer Wharf and the sixth candy order level. To pass this level, you must collect 5 striped candies and score at least 10,000 points in 40 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.
- It may be hard to create striped candies in the 4x4 squares, which are barely large enough to create them.
- As with all quadrant boards, colour bombs cannot be created. This means that colour bomb + striped candy combinations are impossible without boosters.
- Chocolate may engulf the entire bottom-right quadrant, and the bomb at the lower left can explode if not defused in time, so be careful.
- It can be hard to get the goal (70,000 points) if level 131 is played as a mystery quest, making such score luck based.
- The order is worth 5,000 points (5 special candies x 1,000 points per special candy = 5,000 points). Hence, an additional 5,000 points is required to earn one star.
- Chocolate does not really matter in this level but has a high chance of closing a whole area, resulting a lower chance to make striped candies.
- Make as many striped candies as possible and start from the bottom. Always make striped candies if the opportunity arises.
- Remember to keep an eye on the candy bomb.
Getting Three Stars (For Daring Players)Edit
- Difficulty: Hard
- Five colours make it easy to create special candies. However, it is not that useful as the board layout is rather restricted. Furthermore, colour bombs cannot be created as the longest length is only four spaces (a colour bomb requires five horizontal or vertical spaces).
- The order gives 5,000 points. Hence, clearing the order alone leaves the player having to earn an additional 95,000 points.
- Due to the first point, a colour bomb + striped candy combination is impossible which in turn means that the level cannot be cleared within 2 - 3 moves.
- The chocolate will consume the lower right of the board, reducing the chances of creating striped candies.
- The other blockers are also hard to clear.
- The player needs to finish the level within 12 moves to get a higher chance of getting a three star score (95,000 points / 3,480 points per move = 27.30 moves). Note: The amount of points earned by the striped candies during sugar crush may be higher or lower.
- This level spawns Sugar Drops, when that feature is active.

How much can you save? Just took my own advice and purchased two seats for the well-regarded Off-Broadway play, "My Name is Asher Lev," using my TDF membership.
The regular price was $190.25 with fees; I paid $60. Even if I had to purchase a membership just to get these two seats, the total of $72 would have been less than half of the regular price.

in my page I have:
a DB-loaded list of appointments ordered by datetime DESC.
a search bar to refine my list of elements (through GET requests)
a form to add a new element to DB
I want to be able to add a new appointment "Y" (with Jquery) and append it in the list without losing the datetime order.
If the list was static I could query DB for the first appointment wich datetime comes right before "appointment Y" get its ID (Ex."2") and place with jquery my new "appointment Y" right after the element with ID=2.
But with a dynamic list that wouldn't work,cause element ID=2 might not be there and jquery wouldnt know where to place my "appointment Y".. I would need to query DB only between those elements that appear in the list..I think.
Should i send over through jquery, with the appointment data, also the GET variables i used for the search?And how i get them?

Mario Balotelli is ready for a big season ahead with Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan.
The teenage striker told Calcio 2000 magazine: "I would be satisfied in a year from now if I had won the Champions League with Inter and played for Italy.
"As for the future, I'd want to win the Ballon d'Or. I wouldn't call it my dream, though, as I don't have dreams in my career, just targets."
It was already clear that Balotelli was not lacking in confidence when he burst on to the scene with goals that helped the Nerazzurri take the Scudetto last season.
"My name has been mentioned with regards to Italy and I think this nation doesn't ignore its youngsters when there is quality.
"This is all talk, though, as it is down to the Coach to decide. He said he'd consider all players between 18 and 40, so I fit in that bracket!
"I had to wait so long for August 13, 2008, to finally become an Italian citizen. I'm taking it one step at a time and, of course, it depends how I play this season."

New Opportunities for Toy Companies at Fall Toy Preview 2014
The Toy Industry Association (TIA) has made several changes to its Fall Toy Preview to widen the show's attendee base and provide added value for members of the global toy industry. According to the TIA, the updates were developed by the Trade Show Committee and were based on feedback received from buyers and sellers who responded to TIA post-show surveys.
As part of the changes, Fall Toy Preview is no longer strictly a "by-appointment-only" event allowing exhibitors onsite opportunities to do business. The TIA will now offer new booth packages that provide exhibiting companies with both open or combination—closed with and open display area—booths.
In addition, specialty buyers who are ready to show product for the 2015 holiday season and have an interest in previewing are invited to attend. Traditionally, only toy companies that sold product to mass market were allowed to exhibit. Also, the show will introduce new educational programming and a Woman's Empowerment Initiative co-hosted by Women in Toys and Wal-Mart. Additional events will be announced in the coming weeks.
Fall Toy Preview will take place on October 7 to 9.
