The suspect play after starting the season 20-10 is not sitting well right now in Atlanta. The constant Josh Smith trade rumors may be too much to cope with. At some point some good news has to come the Atlanta Hawks' way. They will just have to wait until training camp next season to recognize the benefit of such a blessing. Over the weekend the Hawks announced that Lou Williams, who underwent reconstructive knee surgery last Thursday, is scheduled to be ready for the 2013-14 training camp if all goes according to schedule. "I already know that the rehab is not something that is going to be a walk in the park. It's going to be a difficult process," Williams said recently about his season ending surgery. "There is not a lot that these guys can tell me that I'm not expecting. I'm already expecting the worst and anything short of that is a blessing. That is how I process my mind for stuff like that." The point guard for Atlanta initially tore the ligament in his right kne...

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services. Report an instance of misconduct »
Valero Energy Corp.

Jeff Kolpack, Published April 07 2012
Bison punter has big shoes to fillFARGO – Freshman punter Ben LeCompte has already passed one test. He aced the quiz on the importance of the position at North Dakota State.
He ripped off the names Mike Dragosavich, John Prelvitz and Matt Voigtlander and if pressed, could probably tell you their averages. They are NDSU's last three punters, starting with Dragosavich in 2004.
"I know the history about it, I've heard about it from other guys," LeCompte said. "That's important to me and I feel like I owe it to the program. They recruit for one reason and that's to go get the guy to do the job so I feel I should do that."
LeCompte sat out last season as a redshirt. He was recruited out of the Chicago suburb of Barrington, Ill., with the vacancy this year in mind.
He said Eastern Illinois showed the most interest besides NDSU with Iowa State offering him a preferred walkon invite. But the Bison philosophy of offering their specialists some scholarship money was a commitment that LeCompte said was impressive.
"That meant a lot to me because you don't get scholarships in a lot of other places for specialists," he said.
Like Voigtlander a year about this time, there's work to be done with the punting game. Head coach Craig Bohl said progress has been made "but we're not where we need to be yet."
Specifically, directional punting is the focus this spring. The key is to get the farthest punt as close to the out of bounds line as possible, which makes returns harder to come by.
Voigtlander finished 26th last year in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision statistics with a 41.0 yards per kick average. NDSU was 21st in net punting (punt minus returns), a category that it led for most of the 2010 season.
"I'm coming in here trying to do my best to fill big shoes from old NDSU specialists," LeCompte said. "I need to take steps and focus on the little things so come fall camp and the opener against Robert Morris, I'll be fully-fueled and ready to go."
LeCompte may also get a chance at the kickoff duties. He did at the Saturday scrimmage because kicker Adam Keller is nursing a hamstring injury.
Injury may throw cog into backup QB battle
The battle for the No. 1 backup to starting quarterback Brock Jensen took a hit in Saturday's scrimmage. Freshman Carson Wentz suffered a high ankle sprain and may be out for the rest of spring ball, Bohl said.
Wentz is battling sophomore Esley Thorton and freshman Ryan Stanford.
"That's unfortunate for Carson, he was doing some very good things in practice," Bohl said. "But I thought our young quarterbacks operated the offense well. There were not a lot of misreads."
Starting running back Sam Ojuri sat out with a concussion, but is expected back next week. Freshman Matt Jones stepped in his place and delivered a few nice runs including a touchdown.
"He showed some promising things today," Bohl said.

NCAA letter on FSU appeal coming
Updated: June 16, 2009, 5:19 PM ETAssociated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The NCAA is allowing Florida State to release a version of its letter to the school on a disciplinary case resulting from an academic cheating scandal, officials said Tuesday.
The school must first retype the report from a computer format and redact names, Florida State general counsel Betty Steffens said.
The letter details the NCAA's response to Florida State's appeal of sanctions resulting from the cheating. The school would be stripped of wins in 10 sports, ...

Leicester City shift focus to signing new striker
Posted: July 01, 2014|
Leicester City are set to step up their search for a new striker and may reignite their interest in Brighton's Leonardo Ulloa.
City's interest in the Argentinian cooled after the Seagulls rejected three bids earlier in the summer, while new Brighton boss Sami Hypia has stated his desire to keep hold of last season's top scorer.
However, with the summer transfer window officially opening today, it has been reported that the 27-year-old is set to tell Brighton he wants them to consider City's interest, as he is determined to test himself in the Premier League.
City had cooled their interest when Brighton quoted them a £10million asking price for Ulloa, who has scored 26 goals in 58 games in his 18 months on the south coast.

Leicester City striker David Nugent signs new two-year contract
City are in talks with Fraizer Campbell and have made the former Manchester United striker an offer.
The 26-year-old is weighing up all his options, with Premier League rivals Crystal Palace the latest side to be linked with him.
City triggered Campbell's £800,000 release clause in his contract at Cardiff, but the Bluebirds have also made the striker an offer.
Having already recruited goalkeeper Ben Hamer, defender Matt Upson and midfielder Marc Albrighton, City boss Nigel Pearson is keen to strengthen his forward line.
City have Jamie Vardy, Chris Wood, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Jeff Schlupp as options, while last season's top scorer David Nugent is looking increasingly likely to sign a new contract.
City were yesterday close to signing defender Joe Davis.
The 20-year-old is out of contract at Port Vale, for whom he made 12 appearances last season, but has turned down a new deal with Micky Adams' men.
The centre-back is considered one for the future, but will go into City's development side at the start of the season, as will striker Jack Barmby, who has joined from Manchester United on a two-year contract.

not work are unrealistic for many students at community colleges, such as students with families. All levels of education must consider what it takes to make education work for their students, Fletcher said. In addition, Judy Miner from Foothill College, who was also a member of the organizing committee, reminded the participants of the importance of family engagement, community, and culture in attracting and retaining students of color in STEM.
Another member of the organizing committee, Thomas Bailey from Teachers College, Columbia University, observed that one potent recruiting tool for STEM transfer students could be introductory science courses at community colleges. Developmental education courses or student success courses are other ways to help students find direction. Students often are not aware of the requirements for transferring, even when they have declared a major leading to eventual transfer. "What is our responsibility to make sure that those students are progressing in a systematic and coherent way toward those goals?" asked Bailey. More advisers are needed, of course, but community colleges will need to combine technology with advisers given their financial constraints.

What to Drink with What You Eat
1 Recommendation
darrinsiegfried's recommendation
This book is a "must have" for everyone, from novice wine drinker to Sommelier, who enjoys the way that wine and food can compliment one another. There are wine and food pairings that are almost magical, synergistic examples of the experience being so much greater than the sum of the two parts: this book will help you to make those matches. No one has done as good a job of tackling the often daunting task of suggesting "which wine with artichokes?" as well as "what should I cook to go with that special bottle of Brunello we've been saving?" This one will become a classic. Buy this book!

Every two to four years we have government elections and every two to four years I wonder the same thing, "Does my vote matter?" In California, we have two Gubernatorial candidates Meg Whitman (R) and Jerry Brown (D) who have the most vicious attack ads I've ever seen. Their ads make them BOTH sound unappealing, which makes common citizens like me depressed that no change will come.
I have to think there are attack ads in almost every city in America which is resulting in the same voter ambivalence. Am I wrong? You tell me. Every single politician says the same thing:
* I plan to change the way the Capital is run. No more politics as usual.
* I plan to balance the budget.
* I am qualified because of my experience in politics, or my experience in business.
* My opponent is unqualified.
* I answer to no one but you.
* Wonk, wonk, blah, blah, schimmy, schimmy, bang, bang.

When people grow and save seeds, they are playing an important part in preserving the planet's genetic and cultural heritage. Each variety is genetically unique and is resistant to the diseases and pests with which it evolved. Old varieties are used to provide resistance to modern crops to rapidly evolving diseases and pests. Without genetic diversity, food production is at risk from epidemics and infestations. And have you ever compared an heirloom tomato to the flavorless hothouse tomatoes found in many supermarkets?
Pictured at right: Grandpa Ott's German Pink Tomato, a variety that was passed down from seeds brought from Bavaria in the 1870s.

Sorry Hellbinder, but you're wrong. Graphics have nothing todo with gameplay. Alot of good Quake3 players, turn graphics down to minimum for far faster frame-rates, and get much more enjoyment out of it.
I remember ppl playing HL1 in software mode and not caring even tho their card could do it in hardware.
Seriously, if you step back from inspecting every pixel of those comparison shots, the difference is pretty negligable
you're comparing two identical frames together like that, which 99% of nvidia card owners simply wont be doing!! Harcore graphics enthusiasts like you make up a tiny fraction of the game playing public.
And I have to say the lighting may be mucked around with, but unless you show every nvidia card owner the same image on an ATI, they wont even notice.
And I agree with someone else's post, I think the texture detail is better on the NV card. The window canopoy on the vehicle on the top right, is far blurrier on the ATI card. Some of the hills look more crisper on the NV card to.
that's not gameplay, that's being a frag-*****.
imo, good gameplay usually involves immersion and interaction with a world and a story.
people turn down details in Q3 to AVOID becoming immersed and to see things simply as "wall" or "person", then click on person to kill. it's more like a pong style of gaming.
enthusiasts that care about graphics may only be a tiny fraction, but this is the tiny fraction that buys "high-end" cards like 5900u. thus they WILL be disappointed.

Matt Jones and I insist that you Tenpole a rickroller — or, perhaps, swordroll them. Behold the greatest song in the history of the world to go "baDUMP ding-dong":
5 thoughts on "Fuck Rickrolling"
Oh good lord, Tenpole Tudor! Ha! I remember this.
Hoo-rah hoo-rah hoo-rah yea, says me.
'Never gonna give you up' is not delivered because it is loved. it is delivered because it is despicably mediocre. The song does not explicitly annoy, but is strangely difficult to desire. You cannot make someone feel like they have lost by directing them to a video they want to see. If they don't feel like they lost, it is much harder to feel like you have won.
This trend of yours cannot catch on. It does not have any of the qualities that made rickrolling prevalent.

text: Only last night I dug mine out to take it with me on a trip next week. I effectively got mine for nothing - bought a box of camera kit for a couple of specific Pentax items and found the 35RC lurking in the bottom with a dead meter and covered in grime. It cleaned up very well and I easily sorted the meter (lead disconnected from battery holder), renewed all the foam then covered it with green leather from Cameraleather. It takes excellent photos, both in terms of lens performance and exposure and has a lot going for it. A good carry everywhere camera, if a little larger and heavier than its more modern, plastic P & S competitors.

I have an object that needs to fade out completely at one end. The Alpha channel almost works, except that the edge is still rendered (indicated by green arrows).
The antialiasing and object accuracy render settings seem to have no effect.
The Texture Map filtering definitely affects this. Mip Maps and gaussian make the line more noticeable, but no setting make the edge disappear completely.

He's a man competing in a predominantly woman's sport, and that suits Bill May just fine.
Think of synchronized swimming, and visions of Esther Williams come to mind: Women with Vaseline-slicked hair, nose plugs and makeup who compete on teams named the Mermaids and Dolphinettes.
But the sport is hardly dainty, requiring tremendous strength and stamina. And today it also includes men — although it's still a pretty exclusive club, and May is among the best there is.
No Men Allowed
May, the first male member of the U.S. national team, wasn't allowed to compete in the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The World Championships have been off limits, too. And now May isn't going to Sydney to compete in the Olympics either.
That's because men aren't allowed at worldwide competitions and the Olympics. A proposal to allow mixed pairs will be voted on by the international swimming federation (FINA) on Sept. 14.
"Seeing my entire team go off to Sydney without me has to have been the hardest moment in the sport," says May, 21, who moved without his family from Syracuse, N.Y., to California when he was 16 so he could train with the Santa Clara Aquamaids.
But would he have made the Olympic team had he been allowed to compete? "Let me tell you this," says Chris Carver, May's coach and that of current Olympians, "He not only would have made the team, he would have been among the very top of the competitors on the U.S. team."
A Champion's Attitude
May won synchronized swimming's Grand Slam (solo, duet, team and figures) at the 2000 Jantzen Nationals, finished first in duet at the Swiss Open and French Open last year, and was named the U.S. Synchronized Swimming Athlete of the Year in 1998 and 1999.
"Bill has a tremendously high skill level that is not necessarily related to being a man," Carver explains. "He's very flexible, he's very intelligent and takes corrections very well, he's very creative. … But the thing that brings it all together is his attitude — he has a champion's attitude. He knows what it takes to win."
His solo performances have been outstanding, says Carver, who has coached "very few" men in her 32 years in the sport. She points to May's interpretation of Gene Kelly in a routine to "Singing in the Rain" and his role as Lucifer in another solo performance as being particularly memorable.
But his role in mixed pairs is what has turned the public's attention to him.
Swimming in Uncharted Waters
May and Kristina Lum, his duet partner of three years, became the first mixed pair to compete at the Goodwill Games in 1998. Their steamy, ground-breaking performance to Ravel's "Bolero" was an ode to the Olympic gold-medal winning ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean and earned them a silver medal. May called the moment the highlight of his career.
"We would watch ice dancing to really simulate the closeness and intertwined movements," Lum says, describing their development of the routine. "Like them [Torvill and Dean], we really tried to play off the passion between a man and a woman, and I think the audience really fed off that."
The intent to emulate the legendary ice dancers was not purely for reasons of artistic expression. The pair also wanted to make a statement, to send a signal that their sport should follow the evolution of others.

Stacked Wines, a California-based company, has created the perfect way to share a wine bottle with friends. The wine bottle is actually comprised of four individually sealed wine containers stacked on top of each other.
The cups, referred to as Vinoware, resemble stemless glassware, but are actually made of recyclable plastics that protect the wine from oxidation and spillage. For another cool wine glass innovation, check out these musical glasses.

Hi ! Question about the heater core!
I have a 95 Dodge Ram 5.9 , Just wondering what the vaccum line does on the back of the teperature control assembly, on my intrument panel?
Do I have to discharge my a/c to remove my heater core? How Difficult and how long can i expect the removal and instalation of a core to take??
Any tips would be great !!!!
I wouldn't think you need to discharge your a/c to remove the heater core. You just may have to unbolt the compressor and move it out of the way. I wouldn't remove the lines going to it unless they are hard lines. Then you would have another problem.
how did u come about thinkin its the heater core there missy
I don't know how much difference there is between the 5.2 and the 5.9 heater core wise but i just replaced the core on my 99 1500 4wd 5.2 and it took about 8 hrs, in a heated garage, with air tools along with a friend of mine who is a tech for another car manufacturer. I did not have to take the a/c lines loose nor did i discharge the a/c system

Further, the increasing demand from the customers regarding the better quality of products and services delivered to their doorstep has also necessitated for the businesses to implement the e-business strategy in their business processes. E-business which is commonly known as electronic business implies the application of information communication and technology in the business processes, for the purpose of supporting various business activities undertaken by the organization. E-business does not simply mean buying and selling via internet, rather it is a much broader concept and requires the integration of business activities with the internet and related technologies so that the business activities can be performed in a superior manner. In simple words, it implies development of new ways of doing business by innovatively exploiting the various aspects of the information communication and technology. With the changing business environment, business organizations are compelled to develop new strategies and business models to remain competitive. The integration of business activities with the latest development in the field of technology enables the organization to serve its customer in a totally different manner in comparison to the traditional method of business. It helps the businesses in the achievement of competitive advantage over others by providing them the opportunity to meet the customer needs in a more effective manner. Along with the advantage that is experienced by the businesses from the rapid development in the field of technology, there are certain issues that have also emerged from the e-business policies such as security related issues, privacy, regulatory, legal and ethical issues as well. As such the integration of the business activities with the information technology should be done with great care in order to achieve maximum advantage out of it (Li 2007). This report is basically concerned with the development of an internet marketing plan for River Island, a fashion conscious chain of retail stores. The current website of the company is basic and does not support the e-commerce transactions. As such, the report is basically concerned with the development of an internet marketing plan, which will cover various topics such as the impact of e-business strategy on the business, strategies for implementing the internet marketing plan, measures for the protection of business for minimizing the security related risk and also the future developments in the field of e- E-Business Strategy 4 business. Finally the report concludes with a conclusion and the recommendations on various aspects of e-business strategy. Impact of E-Business strategy on Business In this competitive era, the successful implementation of e-business strategy can lead an organization to achieve competitive advantage over others. E-business is one of the most important ways for the businesses to leverage the new market opportunities. E-business leads to the transformation of entire business processes, as it not only considers the reengineering of the existing business processes, rather it also helps in designing and developing new ways of performing various business processes. The traditional way of doing business ranging from the sourcing of raw materials and developing new products to acquiring human resources and managing customer relationship has totally been changed with the innovation in the field of technology. E-business facilitates the establishment of real time connection with various entities such as distributors, wholesalers, suppliers, logistics providers, service providers and the end consumers. An effective e-business strategy would enable the organization to achieve efficiency in all the major functions performed by the organization with its various business entities. Thus, e-business can be an effective tool for the businesses in optimizing the flow of physical items between the supply chains, in connecting with the end consumers and also in performing the traditional functions of business in a totally new way (Gottschalk 2006). Expectation of Internet Customers: The success of every business depends upon how well it is able to satisfy its customers. Customer satisfaction is the prime concern for the businesses these days, as they realize that attracting new customer would cost them too high in comparison to retaining existing customers. As such, most of the businesses are eyeing to satisfy their existing customers by offering them products and services above their expectations. However, the advancement in the field of technology has further raised their expectation even more than before. In the e-business age, the expectation of the customers has totally been changed with that of the traditional business. Customers are expecting higher level of services such as timely delivery of products and services with the correct features as mentioned during the time of purchase. The transaction should be free from any kind of fraud and the processing time should also be least. They expect personalized as well as error free service through multiple channels and also the availability of service at all the times (E-Business 2010). In E-Business Strategy 5 addition to all these expectations, the customers are also very much concern with respect to the privacy and confidentiality related issues from the e-business transaction. Further, as the River Island is a fashion conscious chain of retail store, the customers would expect good quality of products with timely delivery because it would not be possible for them to judge the quality of the products electronically. As such the expectation of the customers would further increase depending upon the nature of the business. Integration with the Existing business processes: For the purpose of achieving the maximum advantage of e-business strategy, it becomes very much essential that the new business processes must be integrated with the existing business processes. However in case of River Island, the website of the company does not support the e-commerce transaction. As such, it has been a difficult task to integrate the data with the existing business system database of the organization. The successful launch of an e-business would require the integration of core business application software with that of the e-business applications. This will help in the complete realization of benefits from e- business. Analysis of Logistics Processes: As the expectation of the customer is very high in case of e-business, it becomes essential for the businesses to fulfill their expectation effectively. The customer usually expects the delivery of products and services at minimal time. In order to meet out this expectation, it becomes essential for the businesses to have an effective logistic system in operation, so that faster services can be ensured. In case of River Island, as the organization is planning to integrate its function with e-business, the logistics system of the organization should be such that it ensures timely delivery of products and services. At present, the logistics process of the organization is handled by a company known as Zendor, which provides the basic core services like distribution, warehousing, call centres and return management. However, the integration of the business with the internet would require the logistic system to be more effective, as the database of the customer would expand which requires the business to respond quickly to its customer's requirements (Parazoglou 2006). Resources required for Website maintenance and support: E-Business Strategy 6 The Website of River Island is basic and does not support the e-commerce transaction. Further, the company is also planning to market its products and services through internet which requires an effective website that supports the e-commerce transaction. As such it becomes essential for the business to make changes to its existing website, so that the company can expand its operation by approaching larger market area. The changes to the existing website in order to support the e-commerce transaction would require various resources such as a team of technical staff, who looks after the entire design and the development of the website, website project managers to look after the necessary improvements needed in order to protect it from being outdated. In addition to this, sufficient funds would also be required so that the maintenance process can be conducted in a more efficient manner (Montgomery 2009). Implementation Strategy A proper planning is very much essential for integrating the business of River Island with the information technology. A well framed strategy needs to be followed concerning the development of website to its design, so that it would be most effective in attracting the focus of the customers. Further, the strategy should also account for the marketing and promotion strategy together with the management of supply chain activity in order to satisfy the need of the customer in a most efficient manner. A proper planning would ensure what exactly is needed to address in the website so that it would remain effective. It becomes very much essential for the retail chain store to reengineer its logistic activities so as to achieve a successful implementation of the e-commerce. The implementation of all the major tasks required for the development of website should be performed in manner that results into the achievement of overall success. Planning for Website designing: One of the most crucial aspects for the success of a website depends upon the design of the website. It should include everything that a customer expects from a website. In case of River Island, the website should be designed in manner that best addresses the need of its target market that includes both the male and female of ages between 18-35. As the young generation is more concerned about the latest trend in the market, the website of the fashion conscious chain of retail store should be designed in such a manner, so that it provide sufficient scope to its customer to choose from the various offering made by it. In addition to E-Business Strategy 7 this, the context of the website is another major area to focus. It should be designed in a manner that supports the information in multiple formats. The characteristics of the target audience should also be taken into consideration in the process of website designing. However, one of the most important aspects to be considered is that it should be easily accessible to users. For a better result, it should have high ratings so that it accounts in the top ten searches made in the web search engines. Overall, the designing of the website should be done in a most effective manner to remain effective (Palmer 2002). E-marketing and Promotion strategy: After the successful designing of the website, it becomes essential to frame an effective marketing and promotion strategy concerning the products and services offered through the website, so that the awareness can be created among the customers. An effective e-marketing strategy would help the company in attracting the interest of the existing as well as the prospective customers. There are various e-marketing and promotion strategies available through which the marketing of a brand through the web is possible in the most effective manner. However, in the development of consumer centric e-marketing strategy, it becomes essential that the consumer should be familiar with the use of ICT (Pires, Stanton and Rita 2006). In order to market its products online, River Island need to have a proper marketing strategy in operation so that the internet users can be attracted and the sales can be increased. The various marketing strategies include marketing through emails, podcasts, blogs and also through forums. These e-marketing strategies can prove to be useful for River Island to effectively market its products among its target market. As the company is planning to enter into the e-commerce, it becomes essential for the company to target as many customers as possible. This is possible through email marketing as it is an effective tool for marketing large number of customers. Further, the company can also interact with its customers through the blogs and forums. All these marketing strategy would be helpful for the River Island over a short period of time, but in order to market its product and services over a longer period of time, the long term marketing strategies such as article marketing, social networking and social bookmarking would be quite effective (Internet Marketing Strategy 2010). E-supply Chain Management Strategy: E-Business Strategy 8 One of the most important factors in the e-commerce is the supply chain management. It helps in the coordination of activities starting from the procurement of raw materials to delivery of finished product to the final consumer. It should be such that overall efficiency can be achieved in the entire business performance of the organization. In case of e- commerce, the expectation of the customers is usually higher with respect to speed of delivery of products and services. As the retail fashion chain store, River Island is planning to use information technology for e-commerce; the importance of supply chain management has further increased. As such, it becomes essential for the organization to integrate its e- commerce with the supply chain management system (Gunasekaran and Ngai 2004). However, as the River Island occupies around 300 high street stores, with most of these situated in the United Kingdom, the decision of the company to integrate its operation with the information technology would impose various issues for successfully performing its various functions, especially the supply chain management. As such, the company could decide for outsourcing its supply chain function in order to achieve efficiency. This strategy will help the retail store in effectively fulfilling the expectation of its customer in a most effective manner (Wagner, Fillis and Johansson 2003). Integration with the Existing System: As the existing website of the company is basic and does not support the e-commerce transactions, the priorities concerning the implementation of e-commerce transaction with the existing system is quite high. This is because, the existing system does not require too much of modification for the purpose of enabling the e-commerce transactions. As such the cost that the company needs to incur is also quite low. Thus all the aspects are quite favorable for the company to implement and integrate with the existing system. Protection of Business Security of business has been considered to be one of the major threats from e- commerce. The protection of the domain name, the name of the company, trade marks and intellectual property has been the primary issue in e-commerce transactions. In order to protect the domain name against the unauthorized use, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers have issued two documents named as "Dispute Resolution Policy" and "Rules for Uniform Domain Name Disputes Resolution Policy". Further, the intellectual property that represents the skills and knowledge of the employees of the organization is also E-Business Strategy 9 in danger from the e-commerce transaction (INTERNET LAW - How Can I protect My Company's Domain Name? 2008). Risk from E-business and measures to control: Although e-commerce has lots of advantages in terms of wide access to market and easy reach to customers, there are certain disadvantages as well with such business process. The e-commerce transaction would result into lots of risks to the organization. As the performance of the transaction in the e-commerce depends upon the information technology, the technology failure would become a major risk for the businesses to handle. Further, the increasing activities from the computer hacker are a major threat to the security related aspects of the business. In addition to this, credit cards and payment fraud, mistakes on the part of the employees by way of accidental deletion of some of the important data, risks from viruses, Trojans etc are the other major risk of e-commerce system. The risks in the e-commerce transaction can be controlled by having an effective management system in operation. The activities that would result into security threats can be controlled by having certain policies in place. By having effective policies, it would be quite clear to the employees as to what is expected of them. This will help in reducing the mistakes from them. Certain standards should also need to be followed regarding the procurement of PC's and also the firewalls should be properly installed in to protect from the hackers and viruses. Technical controls, standards, policies and procedures can be developed and reviewed in a fully functional information security management system (Managing risk in e- commerce 2010). Future Development in E-Business Mobile technology and impact of XTML on E-business: There are ample of scope for the future development in the E-business. The advent of mobile technology has a potential impact on the mobile commerce. It becomes possible for the users to make purchase and also to make payment with their mobile phones, provided it is supported by internet. In simple words, m-commerce enables the users to exchange data, products and services via the mobile phones (Mariga 2003). The impact of XTML language is also huge in e-business as it allows the service providers to be first in the market with E-Business Strategy 10 respect to their service. Thus it enhances the speed of the transaction which allows the service provider to effectively respond to the market requirements (Grigonis 2000). Impact of supply chain integration and e-business on international competencies: The integration of supply chain using the internet is quite effective for the businesses to address the need of the customers in a most effective manner. It enhances the speed of information between the members of the supply chain which ultimately results into the speediness in the transfer of physical articles between them. The international competency of the business organization also improves because of e-commerce, as it enables them to have an access to the international customers. Thus they get a chance to serve the needs of international customer which results into the increased sales and ultimately the profit (Internationalization of E-Commerce). Conclusion and Recommendation A brief discussion on the implementation of E-commerce at River Island provides a brief idea about the various opportunities and the issues available to the organization. The opportunities are in terms of wide access to the market that allows the company to serve even the international customers, but at the same time there are certain threats from the e- commerce to the organization. These threats are in terms of technological failure, risk from hackers etc. However, these risks can be controllable by having certain policies and standards in operation. Overall, the integration of the company's business with the information technology is quite effective for the company to achieve high growth. It has been highly recommended to the River Island to implement such information technology as it will enable the organization to achieve high growth in terms of increased customer database. Further, the company has basic website, although it does not support the e-commerce transaction, but the company need not have to incur huge costs for enabling the e-commerce transaction facility into its existing processes. As such, it would be a profitable deal for the company to integrate its business process with the information technology. E-Business Strategy 11 References E-Business, 2010 [Online].

Just Passing Through // Girls Zine
We don't measure travel in miles. We measure it in experiences – horseback rides on wild beaches, surf checks in the van, old singlefins, and new friends, gracefully stepping down the road or toward the nose. And this season Reef has assembled just the kind of artisan-crafted hanging footwear perfect for your trip.
We love and laugh. We are the surfers, the artists, and the wanderers who are just passing through.

Take my former boss, Mitt Romney, and the flap over a Jeep plant in Ohio.
The Thanksgiving flap underscored the extent to which Lauer has become a target.
The Grenell flap added a stroke to that image: The Romney campaign yields to anti-gay intolerance.
mid-14c., flappe "a blow, slap," probably imitative of the sound of striking. Meaning "something that hangs down" is first recorded 1520s. Sense of "motion or noise like a bird's wing" is 1774; meaning "disturbance, noisy tumult" is 1916, British slang.
early 14c., "dash about, shake;" later "strike, hit;" see flap (n.). Meaning "to swing loosely" is from 1520s. Related: Flapped; flapping.
flap (flāp)
Tissue used in surgical grafting that is only partially detached from its donor site so that it continues to be nourished during transfer to the recipient site.
To become flustered; lose one's composure: I've seen him under hostile pressure before. He doesn't flap and he doesn't become a doormat (1920s+)
A symbolic mathematics package for IBM 360.

National Treasure - ScreenplayJuly 1, 2015
Let's get this out of the way up front—National Treasure is not the best movie ever made. It probably doesn't even cut into the top 100 adventure movies.
The concept deserves all the eye-rolling it generates: Benjamin Franklin Gates (yes, that's really his name) races against a team of greedy mercenaries after discovering the Declaration of Independence boasts an invisible treasure map. However, National Treasure is just. . . fun. The creative team understood how goofy the underlying idea was (making well-placed jokes about it throughout) and played it as a tongue-in-cheek, family-friendly version of The Da Vinci Code. Substituting Christian lore with American history, scribes Cormac and Marianne Wibberley kept much of the structure intact. Gates (Nicolas Cage) jumps from city to city within the United States' original 13 colonies, discovering clues and artifacts that both advance the treasure hunt and provide interesting tidbits of American history. The script never takes the concept too seriously, and neither does Cage or the other actors, who include Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, Jon Voight, Harvey Keitel, and Christopher Plummer.
The script itself does many things right. The story begins relatively early on. By page 21 we know the goal (find the priceless, historical treasure), the antagonist (the mercenary who betrayed Gates and is also after the treasure), and the first major obstacle (how will they get to the Declaration of Independence?). The script also gives us a nice ethical dilemma to help us become invested in Gates' situation: since no government agency will believe him about the invisible map, he has to steal the Declaration of Independence himself before the mercenaries can, and in the process he becomes public enemy #1 for the FBI. Some of the plot points may strain credibility (the heist of the Declaration of Independence is just one example), but the Wibberleys do a good job of justifying the less-believable aspects. Most importantly, each character has clear goals, and their relationships are solid--the standout relationship is between Gates and his estranged father, Patrick Henry Gates, played by Voight. National Treasure didn't win any Oscars and definitely shouldn't have, but it's well-structured entertainment.

My name is Katelyn, but everyone calls me Kate or Katee. I am a true Arizona girl who loves the heat and the ability to wear flip flops almost every single day, but as soon as I can I wanna move somewhere that has some other type of weather besides hot and dry. I'm one of those strange people who gets really happy when it's rainy or snowy outside and its probably cause I never get to see it.
I am the youngest of 8 kids (1 brother, 4 sisters and 2 half brothers) so I learned to be good at sarcasm at an early age as a form of protection, and when I get scared or nervous it does tend to come out more easily. I have 21 nieces and nephews who I love to spoil and enjoy being the fun and carefree auntie.
I'm a lover of books and have a major addiction to them. I enjoy the chance to escape into a different world for a while. I have been known to spend hours just sitting and reading. My favorite book series is Harry Potter (don't jugde me to harshly) because they were the first books that I loved and couldn't put them down.
I am a big AZ Cardinals fan and I like the Diamondbacks even though they haven't played very good the last few years. I'm a true D-back fan who remembers and liked them back when their colors were purple and turquoise. I love the Suns, but i'm still up-set that Steve Nash left and haven't watched them much since then.
I just recently learned to enjoy running even if i'm slow and sometimes walk more then I run. It's the thought that counts and at least i'm trying to be healthier.

Hi there,
Great plugin! However, I'm having a minor issue insomuch that when I have Auto Tweet on Publish selected, a tweet is generated in Twitter, but only with the post title and not the url, even if the tweet text is set to %title%: %url%
Any ideas? I was thinking that the url plus the title might take me over the 140 chars limit for a tweet, so can a shortening service be used for this %url%.

well back in business or not I won't deal with him again as most know by reading previous posts I was one that he screwed , there are so many out there doing decals now, i'll stick to scale replicas and there is another guy on facebook that will make pretty much any thing you want
Decals by Lucas

Posted 10 March 2014 - 10:39 AM
I saw and spoke with Rick Lucas yesterday at the Cedarville show and he told me that he's still in business, and that his website is still up and running as well. I did buy a sheet of decals from him as well that I hope to use on a future build.

So is he going to make good on all the orders he has never filled but kept the money for?
Posted 12 March 2014 - 04:24 AM
Ask him, as I'm not his manager, I only know him and have done business with him personally and not through the mail.
Posted 12 March 2014 - 04:44 AM
Posted 14 March 2014 - 01:25 PM
I went down that road with no answers. Asked for a refund and was ignored.
So I would put him on the never again list.
Glad you guys had better luck.

My 'Precious' Blu-Ray Experience: Not As Good the Second Time
Back in November, there was a clear front runner for Best Picture. The movie was Precious, or more officially Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, an utterly depressing tale of physical, mental and sexual abuse, teen pregnancy, down syndrome, AIDS, rape and obesity. After watching the movie in theaters, I described it as […]
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee Movie Review
Robin Wright turns in her best performance since Forrest Gump in the quirky drama-comedy The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, but the movie itself fails to leave a lasting impression. Written and directed by Rebecca Miller, Pippa Lee also stars Alan Arkin, Keanu Reeves, Maria Bello, Winona Ryder, Julianne Moore and Blake Lively. Read FilmJabber's […]
Nurse Jackie: Season One DVD Review
For years, HBO was the preeminent leader of high-quality television. No other station, and especially no other premium station, consistently produced expertly done and engaging shows the way they did. Think Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, Deadwood, Big Love, Entourage and Carnivale. These are some of the best shows ever made, and are considered as […]
Everybody's Fine Movie Review
In December, Robert De Niro aimed to take advantage of the feel-good holiday spirit with Everybody's Fine, a lighthearted drama about a father trying to reconnect with his grown kids. The movie flopped, and understandably so. The previews did a great job of marketing the movie as a dreadfully boring and forgettable drama. Way to […]
Blu-Ray Action Movie Tuesday
Returning from a week-long vacation/business conference, I was delighted to discover Lionsgate was so kind to have sent me four action movies on Blu-Ray – three of which I'd forgotten even existed. The Running Man, Hard Rain, The Phantom and Drop Zone are now available to own on Blu-Ray.
Prom Night in Mississippi Movie Review
Racism is a virus that has yet to be cured. Though the election of Barrack Obama was a historic and momentous occasion, his presidency has revealed a deep-seeded racism that still persists in society. Still, it's shocking to hear that as of just two years ago, an American school was still allowing segregated proms. The […]
Blu-Ray Review: Surrogates Take Over On 1/26
Bruce Willis wants to save the world! Again! Surrogates, his latest action-thriller, debuts on Blu-Ray and DVD on January 26, 2010. More of a mystery-thriller than an action film, the movie offers up a cool concept with only decent execution, resulting in an entertaining but underwhelming film.
Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball Misses the Target
In 2006, Joe Carnahan unleashed the psychedelic Smokin' Aces upon audiences, developing a cult following that unfortunately never formulated for his previous, much-better cop thriller Narc. Apparently, Smokin' Aces was good enough to warrant a sequel – or at least a prequel – because Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball has now arrived on DVD and […]
Orphan Movie Review
Evil children are creepy. Why? Because they look all cute and cuddly, but then those innocent, buggy eyes turn cold, the curl of the lips reveal something sinister and they are able to do just about anything they want while parents attempt to overlook the fact that their kid is a sociopathic killer. These are […]
Jennifer's Body Movie Review – Now on DVD/Blu-Ray
From Diablo Cody, the writer of Juno, comes a movie much more fitting for her name: Jennifer's Body, a sharp-tongued horror-comedy about an attractive cheerleader – Megan Fox – who is possessed by a flesh-hungry demon. Though not perfect, Jennifer's Body is a slick, witty and at times creepy film that any horror fan, especially […]
9 Blu-Ray Review
Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Christpher Plummer, Crispin Glover and Martin Landau star in the sci-fi adventure film 9, out today on DVD and Blu-Ray. The animated film from Shane Acker is a visual masterpiece, full of rich special effects and tons of creativity. While it never completely lives up to expectations, 9 […]
(500) Days of Summer Blu-Ray Review
One of the edgiest, smartest and most entertaining movies of 2009 is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray: (500) Days of Summer, starring Jospeh Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. The back cover describes the movie as a romantic comedy, and in many ways it is: it's about a romance, and it's funny from the first second […]
Thirst (2009) DVD Movie Review
Twilight fans, take note: the alleged vampires in your books and movies are not real vampires. Vampires don't sparkle in the sun, they burn. They don't feast on game meat, they only desire human blood. Oh, and they're not very nice. Chan-wook Park knows this. That's why the twisted director with twisted ideas has made […]
Mike Judge's Extract: A Blu-Ray Bonus Features Review
This should be quick and painless. Extract, Mike Judge's latest comedy, is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray, just in time for Christmas. As a harmless stocking stuffer, Extract has enough to satisfy: high-concept jokes, some shenanigans and Mila Kunis looking really, really good in flannel. The movie bears some similarities to Office Space, which, […]
Is the Inglourious Basterds Blu-Ray Inglourious?
Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, the hit Nazi war movie that stars Brad Pitt and a variety of other, lesser known actors of no less talent, arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray this Tuesday, December 15, 2009.

Over the past few days, I feel like I've read at least ten separate posts in different threads about how Arroyo is "no longer a major league average starter," about how Wayne's move to get him is "no longer working out," and about how we should "trade him immediately in order to get back a RH bat" or "replace him with Matt Belisle as soon as possible" (not direct quotes, but I think you are familiar with these complaints). While I don't necessarily disagree with trading Bronson for the right return, I can't help but think that our group brain is going a little bit batty right now.
Arroyo is only two starts into his season so far. He is 0-1, but has also struck out 14 batters in 15 innings, and has posted similar peripheral numbers to his underrated 2007, when a 9-15 record obscured the fact that, minus a bit of luck, he was performing very similarly to 2006. That year, if you remember, we all loved him and nearly crowned him prince of Cincinnati.
Starting pitching is not this franchise's new calling card. Not yet. Johnny Cueto and Edinson Volquez might dominate the rest of the season, but they also might implode and get demoted for more seasoning. Matt Belisle might come back and perform like Bronson's easy replacement, but he also might not come back at all. Homer Bailey isn't ready and Josh Fogg sucks.
Yes, the Reds do need a few more things on this team to make it go. However, I don't think unloading one of the two proven, steady performers in the rotation is a wise way to go about it--and certainly not when we're only 14 games into the season. Arroyo is not Johan Santana. He's not even Aaron Harang. But he's also not Josh Fogg, he's reasonably young, and he's signed to a fairly decent contract for a few years. Let's not rush to get rid of him. Not yet.
