Reds win 5-3 thanks and good night.
Homer, put this back in the garage when you're done with it next time. :(
I should have pulled a Costanza and just left on top after last night:
Seinfeld - George goes out on a high note - YouTube
Somebody really should tell the Reds announcers that it's kinda cheating to call Frazier a 'hometown guy' for both NYC and Philadelphia, especially since he's from Jersey.
Phillies and Reds both sporting 80s throwbacks tonight.

I love the uniforms that the Reds are wearing tonight- wow!
Change to these, please!

BP grounds to short, but Rollins throws it away. BP safe at first.
Ludwick singles to left, BP to third. 1st and 3rd, two outs.

Burma and the Bush Administration
It's time to intervene.
12:00 AM, Jun 5, 2008 • By BENEDICT ROGERS and JOSEPH LOCONTE
Given the unflinching paralysis of the U.N. Security Council over Burma, what should the United States do? The United States, with a democratic coalition that could include Great Britain and France, should prepare immediately to intervene in Burma to ensure humanitarian aid reaches the tens of thousands of cyclone victims whose lives are still at risk. Defense Secretary Gates recently ruled out such action, but President Bush could overturn his judgment, given the ongoing humanitarian disaster.
U.N. apologists would decry a U.S.-led intervention as a breach of international law--but only by ignoring the "responsibility to protect" doctrine adopted by U.N. member states nearly three years ago. Under the U.N. doctrine, nations agree to take all possible measures--including the use of force--to protect civilians from gross human rights abuses. If the deliberate and calculated failure to protect and assist its own population in the face of a devastating catastrophe does not invoke the U.N. mandate, what does?
An intervention of this kind, even with its humanitarian objective, would not be without its risks. Yet the costs of inaction--the deaths of thousands of people, the emboldening of a murderous regime, the perception of American weakness--must also be weighed.
"Intervention will be seen as divine intervention by the Burmese people, not only to help the cyclone victims but also to finally free the entire nation from the military yoke," wrote a coalition of Burmese democracy groups to President Bush. "Please do not compare Burma with Iraq, because Buddhist monks, students, Burmese patriots will happily assist you with whatever you need to go inside Burma and help the cyclone victims and entire nation Many concerned Burmese citizens are willing to join the intervention. Please do not waste precious time."
Burma represents an opportunity not only to save lives, but to rescue the principle of humanitarian intervention from the forces of cynicism and moral cowardice. That may not amount to a final vindication of the Bush doctrine. But it could prove to be one of the most important legacies of his administration.
Benedict Rogers is a human rights officer with the London-based Christian Solidarity Worldwide and author of A Land Without Evil: Stopping the Genocide of Burma's Karen People. Joseph Loconte is a senior fellow at Pepperdine University's School of Public Policy and a frequent contributor to The Weekly Standard.

Exemplary Teaching Activities
Beginning in 2011, On the Cutting Edge began a process to review the extensive collection of activities submitted by workshop participants and members of the geoscience community. The Review Processes page illuminates the details of the peer review process, and the activities are scored on 5 elements: scientific veracity; alignment of goals, activity, and assessment; pedagogical effectiveness; robustness; and completeness of the ActivitySheet. The activities that score very highly in these areas become part of the Cutting Edge Exemplary Collection and are featured below. To date, activities in the mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, environmental geology, structural geology, geophysics, and tectonics areas have been reviewed so the exemplary collection is composed of activities from these topics. As the review of additional areas is completed, exemplary activities from the rest of the collection will be included here.

Human Drama is a gothic rock/dark wave band[1][2] led by singer/songwriter Johnny Indovina.[2][3] They are primarily known for playing a mixture of sad acoustic and gothic atmospheric melodies. Although they don't count themselves as being only a gothic band, they are often named so by music critics.
Human Drama (1985 - 2005)[edit]
Human Drama began in New Orleans in 1980 as the Models. Human Drama's musical influences stem from artists such as Joy Division, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, David Bowie, and Leonard Cohen, among others[citation needed]. By 1985 they had relocated to Los Angeles where they changed their name to Human Drama and quickly became prominent in what was at the time the most celebrated and influential music scene in the world[citation needed]. The legendary "Scream Scene" developed around an underground LA club called Scream, and spawned dozens of major label acts, including Guns N' Roses and Jane's Addiction[citation needed].
Human Drama was signed to RCA Records in 1988 and released both an EP, "Hopes, Prayers, Dreams, Heart, Soul, Mind, Love, Life, Death", and an LP, "Feel", a year later. When RCA failed to provide adequate promotional support, Indovina asked for the band's release[citation needed].
Human Drama signed next to Triple X Records, and released "The World Inside" in 1992, which added soft acoustic guitars, flute, and touches of classical violin and cello to their instrumental mix, radically altering the band's sonic presentation. While RCA had promised a video but did not deliver, Triple X did[citation needed]. A video for "This Tangled Web" was directed by long-time friend, roadie and tour manager for the band, Dave Eddy. The album proved so popular that Triple X eventually released a companion six-video compilation which included detailed narration from Johnny Indovina.
Pinups, a collection of cover songs which had influenced Indovina's artistic growth[citation needed] was released in 1993, followed by the simply titled "Human Drama" EP in 1994, and "Songs of Betrayal" in 1995 both on Projekt Records. In 1998 "14,384 Days Later", a live, career-spanning retrospective was released on both Hollow Hills/Triple X and the Mexican Opcion Sonica label. In 1997 Indovina asked Eddy to start putting together a book of Indovina's lyrics, fan thoughts and photos[citation needed]. When Eddy moved to the east coast another long-time friend who had maintained the band mailing list, Megan Ducker, finished the book, titled "My Bag of Secrets...the Words of Human Drama", and was published in 1998. The following year brought "Solemn Sun Setting", the band's seventh album, and in 2000, Triple X released "The Best of Human Drama...In a Perfect World".
Indovina then released "Momentos en el Tiempo", the first live document of his solo acoustic shows. Produced by long-time Human Drama guitarist Michael Ciravolo, the disc was culled from several performances recorded between 1995 and 2000, in such far-reaching venues as Café Bizarro in Mexico City and CBGB's in New York.
The final Human Drama album is "Cause and Effect", released in the US on Projekt Records, and in Latin America by Noise Kontrol. Human Drama came to an end in 2005.[4]
2005-Present: Post-breakup[edit]
In late 2006, Johnny Indovina released Sound Of The Blue Heart,[5][6] Triple X Records. In an interview, Indovina announced he was working on songs for a second Sound Of The Blue Heart album.[7]
In 2011 Human Drama reunited for one concert in Hollywood, CA.
In 2012 after 8 years, Human Drama performed in Mexico City at the famous Plaza Condesa.
My Skin - The World Inside (1992)
Compilation appearances[edit]
The book My Bag of Secrets (The Words of Human Drama) contains lyrics, photos and commentary from Johnny Indovina and his fans. It was released in 1997.

FAULTY - the two worst TOS remastering mistakes

Re: FAULTY - the two worst TOS remastering mistakes
Robert Comsol wrote:
Sometimes "less" actually yields "more" but try telling this to the CGI artists.
I'm glad this hasn't turned into a general "I hate all CGI effects" grouch-fest. And I've heard many people make exactly that statement. Yet I can guarantee that
of CGI and digitally composited effects have slipped under their radars, and they never knew it.
I like many of the new digital effects for TOS, especially the "scene extensions" (aka "matte paintings"). I just don't like most of them in context because they don't match the rest of the show. And there's more to matching up the new work with the old than a "noise" or faux film grain filter.
Many artists have made an effort to "grunge" up their textures and apply other weathering to their renderings. This helps greatly in minimizing the ultra-clean look that CGI is notorious for. But one can still go another step further.
Older cameras and technology have certain artifacts that we have become accustomed to seeing. While engineers have been busting their butts to eliminate such artifacts (dirt, grain, scratches, lens distortions, compound lens flares and "bokeh," etc.), computer artists have been busting
butts to emulate it. It's crazy. The Blu-ray or collector's edition DVD of Pixar's WALL•E has an excellent supplement on this subject titled
"The Imperfect Lens."
One "artifact" of real locations (as opposed to studios) is the quality of the light—too strong highlights, too deep blacks, etc. Field DPs fix these problems with diffusers and reflectors, but they never completely eliminate that distinctive quality of real outdoor lighting. Likewise, the look of outdoor lighting is rarely recreated in the studio. CGI is another matter entirely. If the artist is willing to make the image less-than-perfect, they may find the key to shots that look more "realistic" to the audience.
Photo-realism may not be the key, however. TOS has a very stage-like feel to it—the sets that look like stage flats, the theatrically colored and patterned lights, and often a very stage-like "blocking" of the actors. The diffuse, "non-directional" light in most of the miniature shots thus matched the theatrical look of the live action.
From the posts I've read, it is obvious that many members here are either production professionals, or are serious hobbyists. If you wish to tinker with 3D rendering and animation, but don't know where to start, take a look at
, an open source "free" 3D animation package. There are abundant tutorials and animations on-line. And Blender is easily the peer of many commercial packages costing thousands (plural) of dollars.
POST SCRIPT—Whether or not a digital image or effect flies may not be the fault of the artists who created it. I know of many instances, some from personal experience, where a micro-managing director or producer "knows better" than the artist who has been doing the work for a long time. A director should at least give his artists enough elbow room to demonstrate their point-of-view. If time and money are tight, and the director is unwilling to trust his artists even a little, then good artists might still turn out crap.
"No, I better not look. I just
be in there."

The 2014 Commencement celebration at Tufts' Fletcher School was special to me for many reasons. It was my first Fletcher graduation as Dean, and I was thrilled to be surrounded by my fellow alumni in rejoicing in the many blessings of this institution.
Friends young and old returned to Medford to welcome our newest graduates. Friends like Peggy Kirby, Class of 1937, Fletcher's oldest alum who is 100 years young. Friends like the Class of 1964, who boldly reaffirmed their commitment to Fletcher's mission by achieving the highest percentage of giving of any class. Friends like Hila Hanif and Andrea Walther, who returned to celebrate their 5th reunion with the Class of 2009—the largest reunion class returning to Fletcher. And accomplished friends like Dev Sanyal, the newest member of our Board of Advisors.
And we made new friends as well. Like little Erietta, who took the stage with her father, Symeon Tegos, to accept his Fletcher diploma.
Throughout the weekend, I was reminded of my own Commencement 30 years ago, which started me on a fantastic journey to nearly every corner of the globe and back again to Medford — guided by the knowledge of the world, knowledge of self, and amazing lifelong friendships that I earned at Fletcher.
I've assembled some of my favorite moments from the weekend to share with you. I hope you enjoy it.

ATLANTA - Brian McCann and Jeff Francoeur are getting most of the attention on the hometown sports star beat, but they're not the only guys who are making a living playing pro sports a few miles from where they grew up.Justin Moore, a defender for the Atlanta Silverbacks, brought his skills back to the area in 2007 after a four-year college career at Clemson and one season with FC Dallas of Major League Soccer. While the former Parkview star hasn't played in an All-Star Game in Yankee Stadium or had his mug on the cover of Sports Illustrated, his life is far from semi-charmed. "Just to be able to come back home and be able to play in front of friends and family ... is really a dream come true," Moore said. "It's a great situation to have the support here from not only friends and family but also from people who followed me through high school and college. ... It's been a great situation." The decision by Moore to leave FC Dallas and come to Atlanta came down to economics and personnel changes in the organization. After playing with a senior contract in his first season, the club offered Moore a developmental contract. Those pay about $15,000, which isn't desirable in most professions, let alone the big business of athletics. "For me to be getting married and things like that, I had some other goals in mind," Moore said. "So this was a better situation, for me to come home, have some coaching opportunities and play for the Silverbacks." In his second season with the club, Moore and the Silverbacks are in the middle of another tight race for the playoffs. They sit two points out of a tie for last place but just four points from being in a tie for third place. The defender has logged over 1,000 minutes this year and netted an assist, a welcomed change after missing a lot of time in last season's playoff push and title game appearance due to injuries. In addition to his playing duties, Moore coaches U12 and U13 boys teams at Pinckneyville Park in Norcross. "The fun ages," he said. "I enjoy it. One of my old coaches, Tony Annan, is the director over there. He's helped me so much. Even though I've played professionally, it doesn't mean I'm going to be a good coach. He's kinda showed me some things about running training sessions and how to coach teams. It's been a great learning experience for me." Before Moore joined the pro ranks of soccer, he was a standout at Clemson University for four years. Clemson has produced many professional stars, including U.S. Men's National Team defender Oguchi Onyewu and a handful of other stars in MLS, the USL and other pro leagues. His tenure with the Tigers included a couple of deep playoff runs, as well as a semifinal appearance in 2005 that ended with a loss to New Mexico. Clemson also made the Elite Eight in his freshman season, where Stanford sent the Tigers home. Before joining the Tigers, Moore had a standout career at Parkview. The Panthers tied with rival Brookwood for the Class AAAAA state title in 2001. "Justin would fool you because he wasn't the flashy player that his brother was," former Parkview coach Karl Bostick said. "But he did everything the way he was supposed to. He was such a student of the game. He watched every game on television. You could just look at him and tell that he was in the game mentally." Moore started his career with the Silverbacks playing on the right wing. But just like at Parkview, he ended up getting moved to the defense because of his great talent in the back. "By halfway through the season, I'd drop him back farther and farther," Bostick said. "He led the team from that position. You can't score goals in soccer unless you can defend. He could anticipate and had great vision. He could make a first pass that would create an opening. I had to keep him in the back. He was so sure and safe about everything." Moore said that as a pro athlete, he knows he won't be able to do that forever. But thanks to his education and work as a coach, he will have options when his playing days are over. "As long as my body holds up, I'd like to play," he said. "It's not too bad of a schedule. I'm getting into coaching. I could see myself doing a little bit more of that, taking on a couple more teams. I've got my degree in special education, so that's always an option. I'm pretty open." Since he and his wife Megan plan on having kids in the future, Moore said he doesn't have any plans for making another run at MLS. "I'm happy here," he said. "If I was still single, I'd have those aspirations to bounce around to different teams, maybe try to fit in somewhere where it's best. But right now, this is the best situation. The Silverbacks are a great organization. They're growing, they're developing, so it's fun to be a part of that transition." SideBar: THE MOORE FILE Who: Justin Moore Team: Atlanta Silverbacks Position: Right defender Family: Wife, Megan Career highlights: · Drafted 15th overall by FC Dallas in 2006 MLS SuperDraft · Reached NCAA Final Four with Clemson in 2005 · Named to 2005 NCAA All-Tournament team · Named to All-ACC second team in 2004 · Won Class AAAAA state title with Parkview in 2001 · Brother of former MLS player and Parkview grad Jason Moore

Monday 9/24: Albuquerque, New Mexico -- Lubbock, Texas
Not much between Albuquerque and Clines Corners, NM...
For any of you that know, there's not much between Albuquerque and Clines Corners along I-40. *But Clines Corners is a "must stop" place, at least IMHO...
Here's proof that Milledue and I were at Clines Corners...
And this "cigar store Indian" out front impressed me (for some reason...)
Finally, of all places to find a Savonius wind turbine:
Interestingly, the "sound" of the Savonius rotor was
noticeable...you could really hear it "whooshing" around. Sounded quite different than the typical big "propellor" type turbines.
South from Clines Corners on US 285
Turning south off of I-40 onto US 285, there's not much...
At Fort Sumner, New Mexico, I had to stop at the "Billy the Kid" Museum.
Billy the Kid was killed by Pat Garrett at Fort Sumner in 1881. Apparently some of this story is in dispute, but...the museum docent played a video on Billy the Kid that I had never seen, and I learned something: the roots of the "Lincoln County War" (in which B the K was perhaps the most consistent protagonist) came from the old "Irish vs. English" conflict. Never knew that...
Onward to Lubbock, Texas and my Host for the Night...
ADV inmate "theRoss" in Lubbock agreed to put me up for the night...along with a friend of his we all went out for a burger...(Doc on the left, theRoss center, friend Mark at right(he's a real doc, unlike me))
Then he tried to get an "artsy" pic of Doc and the Multi outside the joint...there wasn't much light, but at least it shows that Lubbock, Texas does indeed have some nightlife!
Tomorrow's Ride
Tomorrow I've got another ADV inmate expecting me in Scurry, TX. The only problem is how to get from Lubbock to Scurry
going thru the DFW traffic during afternoon rush hour. Over a few beers tonight (see above pic) I think we hashed out a plan.

Sorry to report that no warm up round will be possible on the 7th.
There is course prep going on (mowing, weed wacking etc.) and they would rather not have
anyone on the course.

I'd venture to guess if you took the top 10 local (KC area) players over 40 and matched em up against the top 10 local players under 40 on medium length setups at WW, Swope, Rosey, Cliff, Wyco, and PC, it would be pretty even, and possibly the aged fellows would prevail.

The power of the consumer is stronger than ever with the Internet. Consumers can damage you and your business' reputation very easily with blogs, review sites, social sites like Facebook and even Twitter.
What happens when someone puts your business name into Google? Or Facebook?
If you don't know it's time you found out and discovered the traces of your business that people can see there.
What's said about you and your business on the Web can affect you as well as your company, both positively and negatively.
You need to know what people see when they look for your company name online. And only through understanding your business' online presence, you can then manage your company's online presence with more certainty.

Once you understand the power that consumers have today with the Internet, you will be wise enough to monitor your business' reputation as well as devise strategy to deal with cases where your business' name gets tarnished.
While this practical report does not serve to be an all-inclusive manual on the subject, hopefully it will arm you with enough advice to at least steer you in the right direction.
A word of warning…. if you aren't taking care of your online reputation, others will.
It's time to find out what people are saying—and do something about it. Marketing to your target market becomes seamless after you've done your homework using these tools.

The post Scarcity Samurai Launch appeared first on Lloyd Hester.]]>
The team over at noble that produced the fantastic tool market samurai which is probably one of the most successful internet marketing tools ever released, is about to launch a new product which is called scarcity samurai.
Scarcity Samurai is a wordpress plugin.
Basically it is a large countdown timer that helps create urgency and ensure that more people buy your product or service before the offer ends.
The actual act of the countdown clock makes it a very powerful tactic to increase sales.
The guys over at noble do nothing by halves and all of their results are backed up by long and hard testing.
There is no doubt that sales are all about emotion and TV adverts, newspaper adverts and the long sales letters spend a lot of time and effort to create the emotions required to make you buy.
When people make a buying decision they do it for one of two reasons either to move towards pleasure or run away from pain. Think about it everything you buy that you want but dont need will generally have a feel good factor. You are looking for pleasure This could be because it is going to be comfortable, make you look good, feel good, smell good or make you attractive to the opposite sex.
Some adverts point out how good you will feel if you buy their product while others will show you the world of pain and discomcort you will be in if you dont buy their product or service. Obviously, each of these strategies has its place. Advertising a holiday will show you what a great time you will have if you go to their resort.
One other powerful emotional stick to beat us with is fear of loss greed of gain. That is why limited offers or "last day of sale" works so well.
By using a powerful sales message and the scarcity samurai to countdown your offer you can create the emotions required to boost sales to your offer.
Check out what they have to say in their video by clicking on the link below.
The guys from Market Samurai just uploaded a NEW video that reveals how you can double your INCOME practically overnight – just by making one 'tiny tweak' to your website…
** Here's the 2-Second summary of what's in the video: **
1) How to flick a little known switch in your customer's mind that COMPELS them to buy your products…
2) Why eBay auctions have a 40% conversion rate, and how you can piggyback this technique to MULTIPLY your existing profits by 2x, 3x, even 4x…
3) How you can set up an automated profit machine in just a few minutes, without a shred of copywriting know how, or needing to write a single line of code…
Watch the video here
If you haven't heard of the Market Samurai guys before, they're the real deal – what I ike most is that they scientifically test EVERYTHING they do before talking about it.

The post Persuasion Selling – The Psychology of Getting To Yes appeared first on Lloyd Hester.]]>
There are a number of factors that will help you get your customer to buy from you. These techniques are not just used to convince people to buy from you, these same practises are used by politicians and others when trying to influence you in a certain way.
The power of persuasion can be highly influential in many areas but is ideal for when you want to persuade someone to buy your product or service.
They come under 6 basic headings which are:-
The following video explains in more details. If you want to improve your sales then you can do a lot worse than trying to integrate some of these techniques into your sales presentation or advertising promotions.
Adapting your presentation to include the 6 basics of persuasion will make a difference to your sales, so why not try them and see for yourself how efective that they can be.
When trialling any new advertising, marketing or promotions always try to split test so that you are able to judge the results.
Once you have established your current conversion, it is easy to test it against an existing advert or promotion. Another way to do it is to setup two new promotions or trials so that you are able to monitor the success of each one.
You then look at the most successful method which becomes your control you then change the lowest performing advert and measure again, each time trying to out-perform the lowest.
So for example you run and avert for a new thermal solar hot water system
The advert that you have been running brings in 20 leads per week for for a cost of £250 which is a cost of £12.50 per lead. Lets say you are currently converting these leads at 10%, that is a 2 deals which gives you a marketing cost of £125 per deal. If you edit the title on one advert and and re-write the content of another and then run the 3 of them you can then measure the 3 adverts to see which one is the best and shows the most improvement.
If the second one with the title brings in 30 leads that brings the lead cost down to £8.33 and if the closing ratio stays the same at 10% then your marketing cost is also reduced to £83.33 per deal a 33% saving on your marketing costs. If your third advert with new content brings in the same number of leads as the first (20 leads) but there is an increase in the closing to 15% (as maybe you are bringing in more targeted leads, which means less work for more money), then the lead cost remains the same and the marketing cost would be the same as the 2nd advert generating 30 leads.
If you can then create a new advert which combines the new title and the content and that then increases the lead generation and the closing percentage then you are on to a winner. £8.33 per lead and more importantly , you reduce your marketing cost to £55.55 per deal.
Knowing your number is always important (as you will know if you watch Dragons Den) but, if you are going to try and introduce new methods of selling like the persuasive techniqies shown in the above video then it is even more important.

The post Thermodynamic Solar Panels An Advanced Renewable Energy System appeared first on Lloyd Hester.]]>
Thermodynamics the principle was discovered in the 1800's but it is recent advances in technology that has brought them to the forefront of renewable energy.
Saving the environment and saving money by better insulating your home and installing renewable energy products is becoming more and more important in these days of rising energy prices and fuel poverty becoming common place.
Unlike traditional thermal solar that requires sunlight to heat a liquid in evacuated tubes, Thermodynamic solar panels use an aluminium solar collector which absorbs the heat from the ambient temperature. They work 24 hours per day and 365 days per year.
They work night and day in rain, shine or snow. Providing hot water up to 60 degrees C, the basic 200 litre system will provide enough hot water for a family of 4 or 5.
Thermodynamic energy can be used to heat sanitary water or central heating systems. They can also be used to heat swimming pools very effectively.
They can be fitted to new builds or retro fitted and the panels are smaller than conventional thermal solar panels or PV solar. They will also work on East and West facing roofs and can even be fitted vertically to a wall.
To find out more about these systems go to www.greenserveuk.com and see how thermodynamic solar panels can help you save money and help the environment.

The post How To Rank Well On Google – Get Your Information From The Source appeared first on Lloyd Hester.]]>
If you want to know how to rank well on google then you really should get your information direct from the source. Ie. Google, Google provide a wealth of information on how to rank your website well on the google SERPS. (search engine results pages)
Their webmaster tools which can be found at Google webmaster help There is everything you need to not only find out how to rank your website but also they provide the tools to do it with.
You can setup google analytics which will show you who comes to your website how many hits, where they come from and the keywords that they used to find you.
They are an invaluable source of information which you should have on every site that you own or manage.
Once you work out how to rank well on google by reading and studying the google webmaster pages as well as the Matt Cutts Videos you should put what you learn into practise bit by bit.
It is much better to work steadily and make it an ongoing part of your strategy rather than bash away like a mad thing for several weeks and then stop and leave it alone for months.
If you want to be successful online whatever market you are in you really must spend time to understand how the search engines work. This is equally true even if you intend to outsource your search engine optimisation work.
There are many companies the offer you SEO services at varying prices but few actually really know what they are doing.
You need to have an idea as I have seen websites losing rankings due to careless link building, mass links appearing overnight and links to a website from link farms or other dubious paid link services.
The boys at www.ppcblog have also put together a really good diagram of how google works. Click on it to see a full size version.
Pandemonium and chaos is the key to good SEO in my experience so come back here soon where I will put together a basic SEO course to show you what you need to know before you begin your SEO work.

The post Setting Up An E-Commerce Website Properly appeared first on Lloyd Hester.]]>
Selling products or services online is a simple process and there are many options. However when thinking of adding a shopping cart to your site it is important that you get the basics right.
There are a number of free shopping carts available that can easily be installed via fantastico or softalicious which can be found in your cpanel. OS commerce, cubecart, roman cart and magento cart are the most common.
With os commerce the basic install is free and there are a load of add-ons free and paid as well as templates to change the shape and look of the site available to really make your e-commerce website stand out.
Most of them can be setup relatviely easily and look pretty good out of the box.
The thing to remember though, is if you want to sell online then your site has to look professional. You are trying to get people to part with their money and if your site is poorly designed, with spelling mistakes and poor content then you will not look credible and you will not make sales.
When I first started out I tried all of the free options to see which suited me best and I ended up using oscommerce. The website, www.glasstablesandchairs.com has, of course evolved over the years and still sits high on the first page of the search engines for a lot of highly competitive keywords. The back end of this site still uses oscommerce although the front page has been totally re-designed.
After setting up a number of e-commerce sites I now use interspire shopping cart. You can either pay for a hosted version or download and install onto your own servers.
I use the self hosted version personally but the hosted version is so easy and very fast to setup and get going.
The one thing about the interspire shopping cart is that it looks great right out of the box. It is easy to edit just drag and drop. Here is one of the latest ones that I helped to setup. www.loveyourwater.co.uk. This website was set up and running in a week-end.
The basic version is $395 and the ultimate is $1795. Not cheap but well worth every penny if you are serious about running an online business selling products or a variety of services.
The cost of interspire works out to be a lot less than it has cost to update and customise the glass tables website.
They have a free trial so you can test it out for yourself and I really recommend that you do. Check out the link below.
This is an affiliate link, so if you buy via this link I will receive a commission. You can go right to the site directly if your choose. You will pay the same amount but they will keep it all
If you DO buy through my link, I will be happy to help you set it up and answer any questions or queries you have via skype, phone or email. See, I am happy to work for my money :-)))))

The post The Desktop PC is Dead Long Live Mobile Technology appeared first on Lloyd Hester.]]>
Ok, Ok, so I am being a little theatrical here, but there is no doubt that the massive growth of the smart phone and tablets has seen a growing differential between the number of searches done on the desktop computer and mobile devices. With this in mind it is important that if you have any type of business online or offline, then you must have a mobile marketing strategy.
Ensuring that your website can be viewed easily on a mobile phone as well as a desktop computer makes sure that you are ahead of your competitors, giving you the edge.
Text message marketing has been around for a long time and the drop in the price of setting up and running mobile messaging campaigns has made it more popular allowing small and medium businesses to take advantage of this very successful marketing method.
As mobile internet speeds have increased, so has the amount of time that people spend online, searching and even buying products and services.
Smart phones are now outselling standard phones by 5 to 1 and anyone ignoring these numbers will lose out in the near future, to those that take advantage of these numbers now.
Just think of how you, your friends and other members of your family use your mobile phones these days. We carry them with us 24/7 rarely do we switch them off.
Here are some of the most recent figures.

@anubis_1710 Or MW2's weapons! I want my SCAR-H back not that hideous SCAR-L O_o

A Collection 1 advertisement before a collection 1 promotional video, interesting.
Did not see any new weapons!!!! This is false advertising t(-.-t)
The idiots who paid the subsciption to get the map packs a month after xbox.
Adding new weapons would maje a big difference :) COD:WAW's weapons or so...

Overall I like the straight scan as much as the split grade versions. While the last split grade version has real possibilities to be slightly better than the straight scan it might, as tkamiya has sa,d, need flashing to tone down the arms which are hot.
However have you tried to alter the grade by half a grade divisions at a time. You might find that there is a half grade increase and a slightly different exposure setting that gets you very close to the split grade version without flashing.
As you are experimenting anyway then this might be a worthwhile exercise.
I might of course not be a punchy print afficionado compared to those who have commented in the exchange. The straight scan is far from flat or grey in my opinion.

We feel like celebrity beefs have gotten increasingly random lately. Has anyone else noticed this? We blame Twitter, just like we blame Twitter for the current beef between Ice-T and Rush Limbaugh. Well…okay, we blame Twitter and Rush Limbaugh. "He knew the word 'tyranny.' And he knows that tyranny comes from government representatives. Double impressive," the conservative radio host joked about Ice-T, after the rapper used the word while defending gun ownership. "Rush Limbaugh said he was impressed I knew the word 'tyranny'… He's a racist piece of sh–," Ice-T replied on (where else?) Twitter. Jeez, Rush, why are you ripping on someone who agrees with you? And Ice, why are you listening to anything that Rush Limbaugh has to say? Of course, when it comes to celebrity beef, there's no reasoning with anyone. If there way, how would you explain all the absurd celebrity beefs that have come before?
Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell vs. Justin Bieber
Who would have guessed? "The music and the parties and the paparazzi, I mean, it's like living in Lebanon now," Shepard griped about the Biebs while on The View today. Admitted fiance Bell, "In his defense, I will say we don't know the exact house the music is coming from. We just know since he moved in, the music has been blaring." Oh, please fire back, Justin! Or just crank "Boyfriend" and cruise by at 3:00am!
Dominic Monaghan vs. Matthew Fox
"[H]e beats women. not isolated incidents," Dominic Monaghan tweeted about former costar Fox. This beef isn't random because it's trivial; it's random because it implies there were a lot of extremely awkward moments on the Lost set we had never heard about…until now.
Snooki vs. Tan Mom
Sometimes "most random" can also mean "the best," as when the Jersey Shore star and…uh…supertan mom got into it over the relative repulsiveness of their tans, parenting decisions, etc.
Bruce Willis vs. Kevin Smith
Remember when Kevin Smith directed Bruce Willis in Cop Out, then later declared the actor the "unhappiest, most bitter and meanest emo-b— I ever met at any job I've held" in his memoir? Yeah. Super rando.
Jon Hamm vs. Kim Kardashian
Don Draper may or may not have cited Kim Kardashian as an example of when "being a f—ing idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly." Kim came back with a retort as classy as is humanly possible…when it comes to these beefs. "Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless," she shot back. Truth.
January Jones vs. Zach Galifianakis
"[I]f I remember correctly, she and I were very rude to each other. It was crazy. I was at a party. I'd never met her and she was like, 'Come sit down.' So I sit at her table and talk for 10 minutes, and she goes, 'I think it's time for you to leave now.' So I say, 'January, you are an actress in a show and everybody's going to forget about you in a few years, so f–king be nice,' and I got up and left. And she thinks that's funny?" the comedian told TheShortList.com about the Mad Men star while promoting The Hangover Part II. Due to it's total and complete randomness, we're going to declare this our favorite celeb beef of all time .

A great place to get a great pizza. The pizza dough and toppings and very good and generous. They have an excellent salad bar. Good food, good service, decent prices. Worth the stop!
Mario's subs are the best! You have to try them! Everyone I talk to says the same thing! Their bbq is good too. Everything I see there looks absolutely wonderful! The only downer is that they are expensive!
This restaurant is really good. The food is very reasonable. The staff is very friendly n good customer service. The owner always greet me when I comes in to the restaurant. Great environment.
Wonderful place to eat live their crab cakes and onion rings husband likes their pizza it's like New York pizza
My friend and I stopped there on our way home from a bowling tournament. It was an Italian place but we were hungry. That was the best stop for food we ever made!!!!!!!! I had Baby back ribs that were OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The waitress was extremely friendly. To those that complain about the small bowl for the...
The food is way overpriced. The salad bar is ok but you only get a tiny bowl and one trip with most meals. Guessing they only do good business because there are not many options in this town, but I would find somewhere else to eat.
Everything was delicious and they stayed open late for members of my party that got lost enroute. I wish I could have a restaurant as amazing as this one in every city I go to on business.
On Sundays, there are not many places to eat in this area for travelers. We stopped here because it had numerous things on the menu for everyone. The head cook was very polite and accommodating when I was trying to order something without straight marinara sauce. I described to him what I would prefer and he directed me to a...
Small town charm with excellent food. Good food, good conversation with friends!
The Restaurant itself is old. My family and I decided to give it a try and now we are sorry. The food was over priced and not very good. I got a salad Bar with my meal but only one trip is allowed and they give you a bowl that is very small so your salad is just a taste!...

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Alex Brownsell, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 15 February 2010 02:25PM
The appointment follows a three-way pitch, managed by COI, against Leo Burnett and Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R.
The FSCS, an independent body set up by the Government under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, helps savers who have lost money with a collapsed bank.
The organisation paid out a record £21bn in compensation in the six months from the end of September last year. It has never advertised its services before.
The creative pitch follows the appointment of Mindshare to handle media planning for the organisation. The agency won the business following a pitch against Arena BLM and Naked.

$7.2 million of intangible assets and $6.3 million of goodwill related to Slashdot Media
and have only started to realize some improvement on related sites. With ad revenue declining and not expected to pick up (read: everyone who uses Slashdot uses adblocking softwarwe), it appears that the Slashdot stewardship experiment by Dice Holdings has been a financial failure.
Since the site has been redesigned in a user-hostile fashion with a very generic styling, this reader surmises Dice Holdings is looking to transform or transfer the brand into a generic Web 3.0 technology property. The name may be more valuable than the user community (since we drive no revenue nor particularly use Dice.com's services).

Slashdot Beta is a trend-following attempt to give Slashdot a fresh look, an approach that has led to less space for text and an abandonment of the traditional Slashdot look. Much worse than that, Slashdot Beta fundamentally breaks the classic Slashdot discussion and moderation system.
If you haven't seen Slashdot Beta already, open this in a new tab. After seeing that, click here to return to classic Slashdot.

Customer Reviews of Targus DVD/CD-RW Slim External Drive - CD-RW/DVD-ROM - USB - External
Excellent product1/27/2009
The Targus drive worked perfectly right out of the box just like things are supposed to. No surprises, which to me is a big plus. This was purchased to use on an Acer One netbook and the usb power versus having to have an a/c adapter was important. The device didn't disappoint. It there was any surprise, it was the noticeably high quality of the product. It is well built, runs very quietly. I recommend it if you need a portable drive.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
