NBI Wrap-up and Tools I Use0
I wanted to try to get this post out before things ended, but I'll sneak it in as a combo post. Plus I'll also toss it out as an open question for bloggers and readers on cool tools/apps they use for similar tasks.
First off, I think this was a very cool idea of Syp's to jump start some folks and also get some new views sprinkling around the web. He's put up his own summary of the event as well as the listing of all the new blogs. I've gone through and added some to my reader and plan to revisit to see which ones I've missed. My Reader can never have enough gaming sites to check out
I really do hope this has helped not only spur on some new folks but also trigger new ideas for all of us. I've already been kicking around a number of ideas for things to write/talk about as well as some fun projects to tackle. My lack of writing lately has nothing to do with a lost passion or enjoyment of writing just a combination of a whole host of RL factors that are really kicking my butt lately. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I don't think it's the on-coming train.
Of all the posts that have come out during this month, one thing I didn't see too much of were the technical details of how folks blog and I figured I'd toss out some of my favorites and open up the comments for other ideas/suggestions.
- For my actual writing, I use Windows Live Writer as it just makes laying things out easier and handles all the image uploading for you. I'm not sure what the future holds as this is being phased out by Microsoft but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it
- I use Evernote for all sorts of things, but mainly as a note taking tool and web clipper for things I want to come back to. Very handy as you can sync between machines and devices quite easily. Great for brainstorming!
- Most in-game snapshots are fine, but if you want to tweak them I personally use a tool called GIMP that's an open source package that allows for all sorts of image manipulation while not being terribly complicated.
- For video editing, I've had good success with Avidemux as it again does all that I need it to do without being terribly complex.
- For all my audio needs (podcasting and video voice-overs) I use Audacity.
- And last but not least, for video capture I use Fraps. This is the only tool I use that costs any money, but for a lifetime fee of $35 it is well worth it.
Overall I really try to keep things on the free side, but in some cases that's just not possible.
Any suggestions or other questions about how I do things from a technical perspective?
Support for the Newbie Blogger Initiative0
As if Justin (aka Sypster) doesn't have enough on his plate, he's started up an initiative to help out folks new to the blogosphere. I jumped at the chance to help out since I'm a relatively new blogger (only a little over 2 years now) and certainly have gone through my fair share of bumps and bruises along the way. There are over 70 other bloggers involved and I've already seen quite a few new blogs kicked off, so it will be quite the fun community of the new and old
Even though at times I get bogged down by real-life, blogging has provided a great outlet for me as well as a chance to interact with some fun communities and honestly I wish I had started earlier!
I will probably have a couple advice articles including how I've set things up on my side and the tools I use but figured I'd kick things off with a couple general thoughts.
- Start off with some sort of idea or focus – you can always change/adapt but it will help you in the long run if you have something driving you
- For example, I write with the focus on more of the end-game aspects which allows me to not worry about covering every aspect as I know there are other sites devoted to other portions.
- Realize that by putting your thoughts you might get someone who doesn't like what you have to say. Certainly there will be useful and constructive "arguments' that are always helpful but you just have to have a thick skin against the internet ugliness.
- Blog because you enjoy it, not because you expect to make millions or get some sweet job with a gaming company. While those may happen, if you focus on that there's a good chance you might be let down.
If you'd like the full list of the 70+ sites involved, Wilhelm over at TAGN has the full list, or you can just head over to the site for the NBI.
I'm very excited to not only be a part of this but to see what the various communities have to offer, especially with all the new games coming out this year!
New Column and Writer0
I'm quite happy to announce another writer has joined up with me on this venture and will be focusing on an area I know VERY little about – Loremasters. Some of you may know Psychobabble from the forums as he's a pretty frequent poster, but if not you can check out his introductory post shortly. He reached out to me after my last podcast episode and I since we have pretty similar play styles with similar and different experiences I thought it would be a good fit.
I'm excited not only for those of you who play Loremasters to get more insight into the class but even more for those of us who don't understand the class as we'll get a much better feel for what they can do.
I'm not necessarily looking to grab a ton of folks on this site, but certainly if there are people out there who want to pitch in and have an area of expertise (Burglars anyone?) I'd be quite happy to see what we can work out.
As always, feel free to continue with comments and suggestions as you have them!
Move finally complete!0
Well that took a LOT longer and was quite a bit more painful then I was hoping for, but I'm finally over on my new host. Hopefully things will be quicker and there shouldn't be as many issues as I was having with my previous host. I'm still trying to make sure everything is working, so if you all wouldn't mind taking a minute or two to check things out that would be great. Oh, and if you see anything that you know how to fix that would be appreciated as well
And yes, I have a few updates that will be coming out today as I've still been writing, just not posting. There's also a new podcast episode that's ready to go and should be up soon as well.
LOTRO on TGN Stratics Re-launch5
Some of you may have noticed that I've been a bit quiet lately, and while part of that is due to real-world issues, I've also been helping with the re-launch of the LOTRO section on TGN Stratics. This site will remain up, but for the most part it will continue to be my personal blog where LOTRO.stratics.com will be where I'll be putting all my LOTRO related content.
We've got a pretty good growing staff already and I'm excited to have not only a team to work with but quite a few resources to play with. Like most sites we're still working on it, but there's the main section, the forums, and the wiki. Go check it out and make sure to subscribe to your favorite option to keep track of what we're up to.
And aside from the holidays I should be back to a good posting schedule here going forward.

Spurs pinning hopes on Adebayor returnComment on this story
London – Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor is racing to get back in time from the African Nations Cup with fellow forward Jermain Defoe ruled out for as long as three weeks for the striker-light club.
Fourth-placed Spurs host improving Newcastle United in Saturday's early Premier League kickoff with Adebayor set to be thrown straight into the team even though he has still not left Africa after Togo were knocked out on Sunday.
"We are trying to establish the best flight connections for him," coach Andre Villas-Boas told reporters on Thursday. "He will be selected for sure."
Spurs fans were shocked the club failed to bring in another forward in the January transfer window after a raft of activity on deadline day in previous years.
A move for Brazil's Internacional forward Leandro Damaio hit the buffers to leave them with two recognised strikers and attacking midfielder Clint Dempsey, who managed 17 league goals for Fulham last term.
Dempsey could well be jet-lagged for Saturday as he is flying back from the Americas having played and scored in the United States' 2-1 World Cup qualifying defeat in Honduras on Wednesday.
Defoe, who turned his ankle in last weekend's Gareth Bale-inspired 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion, could at least return quicker than Spurs had feared.
"It's good news in the end because he could have had further damage to his ankle," Villas-Boas added.
"We will see him back within two to three weeks hopefully."
Young forward Harry Kane has returned from an inauspicious loan spell at Norwich City and does not seem ready for the first team as Spurs supporters fret about letting the fourth and final Champions League spot slip with Defoe out. Everton are three points behind.
The north Londoners finished fourth last term under Harry Redknapp but missed out on Europe's top club competition when Chelsea, who ended up sixth in the English top flight, triumphed in the Champions League to gain automatic re-entry as winners. – Reuters

Description: Michel is another great looking boy from Brazil. I love watching these boys stroke their cocks in the outdoor settings and it seems when I film an outdoor scene, the boys love the idea that they are quite possibly being watched and it seems to get them more aroused. Even behind the scenes they are not looking around or worried at all at whom might be watching or sneaking a peak.

Five observations: Geno Smith goes 23-for-24 as West Virginia demolishes Kansas in regular season finale, 59-10
West Virginia may have saved its best regular season game for last. The Mountaineers put together arguably their most complete performance of the year, trouncing last-place Kansas, 59-10, to end their regular season at 7-5. Every pass Geno Smith threw in the win was caught, one by the defense, as he went 23-for-24 for 407 yards and three touchhdowns, two to Stedman Bailey, in the last home game of his West Virginia career. Here are five observations from the game:
1. Stedman Bailey makes strong Biletinkoff case
One of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award, given every year to college football's best wide receiver, along with USC's Marqise Lee and Baylor's Terrance Williams, Bailey made a strong final case to win it. He made 11 catches for 159 yards and two touchdowns, giving him a FBS-best 23 receiving scores this season. He's made 106 grabs for 1,501 yards on the year. Meanwhile, Williams had only six receptions for 71 yards in Baylor's win over Oklahoma State this weekend while Lee, who had five catches for 75 yards in the Trojans' loss to Notre Dame last Saturday, did not play this week.
2. West Virginia's run game productive again
After averaging barely more than 100 rushing yards per game over their previous eight games, the Mountaineers' running attack has taken off since, averaging 313.3 yards over their last three contests. West Virginia racked up 240 rushing yards in its lopsided win over Kansas this week, with Andrew Buie leading the way with 100 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown. West Virginia scored five of its eight touchdowns on the ground, including three of its first four, and averaged 5.2 yards per carry, marking the third straight game it averaged at least five yards per carry.
3. Geno Smith shines on Senior Day
Smith returned to his untouchable early-season form, completing 23 of 24 passes, with his only incompletion being an interception, for 407 yards and three touchdowns. His 95.8 completion percentage tied Tennessee's Tee Martin (1998) FBS single-game record. He finishes the year with 4,004 passing yards, 40 touchdowns against just eight touchdowns and completing 73.5 percent of his passes.
4. Mountaineers defense steps up
West Virginia had not been known for its defensive prowess this season. Before Saturday, the Mountaineers were one of five FBS teams that had allowed more than 40 points per game and had, by far, allowed more passing yards per game (346.2) than any other in the country. But Kansas quarterbacks Michael Cummings and Dayne Crist combined to complete only seven of 16 passes for 117 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. James Sims, who had rushed for 119.5 yards per game before this weekend, was held to 57 yards and Kansas' only touchdown.
5. Jayhawks have long way to go
For the second straight year, Kansas ended the season winless in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks will begin next season with 21-game losing streaks against conference opponents and FBS foes. They lost 11 straight after a season-opening win over Sacramento State, possibly a reason why head coach Charlie Weis expressed how much he was looking forward to recruiting over the offseason. Kansas gets its first chance to break all of those losing streaks with a Sept. 7 season opener next fall against South Dakota.

Hi everyone, my mom got Fusion surgery in August of 2011. It has been 8 months and now she has developed this pain on the muscle above her femur. On both legs. the pain was also present on her arms above the elbow but seems to have diminished. She went back to her orthopedic surgeon and he prescribed Lyrica and these other pills that you take six the first day, five the second and so on. She has not yet taken the Lyrica and we are not sure she should. She has this pain that she says shoots or strikes her muscle area when ever she puts weight on each leg while walking. She is 81 years old and we really don't want her taking this much medication at her age. The doctor has ordered additional MRIs of the upper and middle back. He said he saw some "closing up of the cannal" on the previous MRI. The issue is that she did not have this pain before and was evolving great until about a month or so. She was already walking very good and was upbeat.
Please let us know if this type of pain has bothered anyone else. We are not sure if we should change doctors at this time. It is painful to see her not able to walk again after she had already had her hopes up.

Thought I'd whip up some quick signage for Fancy Cakes -- Aestan's idea, really. Not my best work, but it does it's job. ;)
(( A letter and package Tywyll hands to Analuri on leaving Silvermoon for Thunder Bluff ))
Dear Miss…..Kharris,
No sign of her flashing dimples.
An odd request, but I was happy to help. There'd been a fire. Iloam's photos had been lost, and she wondered if I'd had a copy of one in particular. I let her have it. Her hands shook when she touched it, but she thanked me and left again.
Who'd like to change the worldWho wants to shoot the curlWho gets to work for breadWho wants to get ahead
She's beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen her more lovely, no matter how hard she's tried. Seated in some artifical place, looking as if she were as artificial as her surroundings, I've never really understood the appeal.
Who hands out equal rightswho starts and ends that fightAnd not rant and raveOr end up a slave
He's lying on a wooden floor. Those nasty, scrawny limbs are tied as tightly as a rabbit in a brace of them. His eyes aren't mocking me now.. they're filled with terror. I lean over him and grin. "Isn't this nice?" I hear myself purr, and I feel the hatred like the sweetest syrup in my mouth. Anticipation like honey.. like coppery blood. Oh, how well I know that taste thanks to him... I can feel the rough edges of the scars where he slit my cheeks as my tongue moves in my mouth. In a fast motion, I kneel, and slice away his nose.
There's only three of 'em. Little suckers, go down quick. Faster when the ground rots and turns against 'em. No point in pickin' 'em off one by one. Wastes time. So yah take 'em all.
But out here, three becomes six so easy when something else wanders by, and six becomes more iff'n yah don' finish up quick. Then yer hackin' away with the sword dancin' at yer side and even the bloody-won armor can't keep yah from feelin' the blows.
The weather was perfect for scaling the ratlines up past the tops and well into the cross-trees, finding meself a nice perch behind the main topgallant mast. The winds were light and carrying a warmth from the rising sun that brought a sort of wanton abandon after spending the past few days in Winterspring. I'd left most my clothes, besides pants and boots, in my quarters and come up here while the rest of the crew rested for tea.
I woke up to the dull, wooden thwack! of training swords clapping together on the beach, punctuated with the rhythmic cadence of Macleod's barked orders. The cadets must have been in poor shape that morning – the seagulls laughed as they swirled high against the rising sun. Their shrill noise bored straight down into my eardrum and I groaned, rolling miserably against the itchy, grey standard issue sheets. One of my bunkmates grumbled, driving her small elbow into my neck.
((Very mild warning: Christmas underwear!))
It was sometime last week I woke up, rubbing my eyes, in the rented room Shar and I share in Dalaran. The bed isn't that big – sized more for humans than for draenei – but we don't mind. Cozy enough for two, though I did take some care not to wake her, as the past night's work had been late and difficult.
"Look at me, girl. What do you see?"
How maudlin. How pretentious. It served its purpose, I'll agree. The broken wretch began to find her feet again, and accept her fate. Her fate? Her destiny, perhaps. Reborn to be a weapon, and in her case all unwilling, she might as well turn in her creator's hand.
Yes, that served me so well, didn't it. Got me such a terribly long way...
Has it really been three years I've been coming up here? Seems a lot longer in some ways, lot shorter in others. So much has happened in the last year, Pete. Yuta and the babies are fine. Almost can't call them babies anymore, toddling around and getting into everything. Talking up a storm too, even if none of us can understand it.
It was a long flight to Booty Bay. Plenty of time to think, plenty of time to stew. Little voices in the back of my head kept telling me this was a mistake, but I ignored them. I usually do. I mentally replayed the scenes from the last few days as I flew.
It was all Iloam's fault. Nice being able to blame someone other than me for once. If he hadn't cut up Llew the Peacekeepers wouldn't have hauled Kharris in for questioning and .... at least she didn't blame me for Rowan's death.
I'd spent the better portion of the morning cleaning out the hold of one of the three ships Captain Whisperwind had pulled off the Bloodsails. Originally I'd intended to trade them for something bigger on the black market, but word had gotten out that the girls were marked goods and I couldn't even sell them for gold. So a fresh coat of paint and a good clean out would have to do it. We'd avoid the Bloodsails wrath just fine - bunch of lazy gits anyway, couldn't sail their way out of a fish pond with a bloody map.
((Cut for language))
Fuck you!
FUCK. YOU.Give him back. Why would you keep him from me? Give him back!
Did I do this?
You're supposed to be powerful. Supposed to bring them back when it isn't their time.
I saved Iloam...
Why couldn't I save him?
It shouldn't have been time...
You're lying.
Someone had heard the screaming. Someone had found the nearest authority figure ... me. I'd started barking orders. It had come full circle.
The room reeked of blood. Splotches of the stuff decorated the walls and the huddled figure on the floor. I knew him, I'd run into him at the White Hart, and I knew who had done this. "Sir Toilet" Iloam had called him. Seemed like a nice enough guy, but it was obvious he was in love with Kharris and him and Iloam had gone at it like two dogs snarling over a bitch.
Ice had seeped over his skin after the pain became a dull agonizing ache. It sank into his bones and he felt his feet rotting with the pain of the seared flesh and the slashed tendon. The bones melted into frozen blocks of throbbing hurt. The nails were lances of molten searing metal through ice and he fancied where he curled around them that his ice flesh was melting. The cold seeped across his slashed face, turning the heat to cold, the screams to moans.
Funerals shouldn't happen on nice days. The chill rain of the past few days and the morning we buried Rowan was bright and sunny. Wasn't much to say; what can you say? Words fail at a time like that. Realistically, there hadn't been anything I could have done. The child had been born breach and the cord had gotten wrapped around his neck and strangled him. These things happened, about one birth in ten went wrong somehow; at least for humans.
The moonlight streamed in on an angle into the dusty apartment. The single bed with sheets still rumpled from the last time Llew had slept in them stood on the wall opposite the window, where the light caught the shadowed shapes of fabric. The flat was small; a kitchenette with a single set of plates and two glasses carefully put away. Spartan, certainly - it was purchased for one reason alone, and from the unusued look, served it and little else.Llew's hand rattled the lock, and the door opened a little with a soft few words as he stepped in. "Kharris? Are you here?"
Llewellyn Brightcloud strode from the Scryer's Inn, eyes flinty. His fingers shook off the remaining snow of Winterspring as he gauged the time.. nearly midnight. A sense of futile longing and frustration rose in the muscled chest of the young elf as he eyed a goblin courier sidelong. Iloam... the rogue had been cuddling some night elf. His hand, Llew was certain, had gone up the woman's leg! It was unthinkable.. especially since as far as Llew could recall, Kharris was due... well, any time now! Which meant something had happened. Iloam had left her, perhaps..
There is that moment when time stops. You're going along mindful of yourself, keeping the nerves in check, playing it casual while you wear a bloody hole in the rug on the soles of your boots while you can't stop second guessing if that name will really fit. Maybe we should have gone with something more traditionally Elvish, or something from her family, or thrown all that rubbish out and just picked something completely unexpected and gone with Gregory or Zul'arek.
((Late post, should have been posted last Wednesday.))
The early evening's a quiet time in Nighthaven, the Kaldorei are just waking up for the most part and the other folks, Tauren and Human mostly, are settling in for the evening. The sun's just about slipped away and Elune is up, just clearing the trees and about a quarter past full. I send a little prayer up to Her, just a few thoughts for Yuta and the babies and some for Kharris and her baby. That last bit'd probably scandalize a few folks, but if I've learned anything about gods it's that they don't fit into the little boxes we like to put them in.
I've been doing this for so long, I should have known when things were going well that my luck would eventually dry out. Stealing the reference books from the University library had been as easy as if I'd been knicking copper pieces from Grandmum's candy dish. Of course, it may have earned me a spot of momentary popularity with the Bluffwatchers, but that would blow over in time.
Liore sat on his bed, toes curled around the thick blue blanket that laid crumpled across it. His loft was dark and empty, only the lights of the Draenic rope lights and his bedside lantern to light the place in the late evening. Radiae snoozed beside him, gnawing on her knotted bunny in her sleep. His knees were bent, resting a book against his legs. A journal, to be more precise. A long Roc's quill was flipped between his robotic fingers, the joints giving off pleased whirs and clicks.
Rowan, 37 weeks Likes: Strawberries--berries of any kind, actually. I'm going through pounds of them! I feel like a bloody bird! Your father's voice--especially when he sings. Hand-to-kidney combat--Ouch, hon. Ouch.
Dislikes: Watermelon--I may never forgive you! Sleeping at night—Sigh.Butterscotch--... And here I thought the puking was over.
(( This Sunday!
At 5pm goblin server time and running until around 7pm server time, I'm guessing, I'll be opening the second "Black Farthing" RP night at the World's End Tavern.
Pop by to say hi, pat Kharris's pregnant belly, and taunt her with the alcohol she can't drink.

Ebersbach Estate Trustees Announce $4.7 Million Total Gifts to FPB
Second $2 million commitment will support FPB's flight nursing program, the first graduate flight nursing program in the country
Posted 8/9/12
Video tribute to the legacy of Dorothy Ebersbach
Dorothy Ebersbach's desire to help others stretched even further today as the trustees of her estate announced a second $2 million commitment to support flight nursing at Case Western Reserve University's Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing. The decision brings her total gifts to the school to $4.7 million.
The announcement came less than a year after Ebersbach herself pledged $2 million to support the school's first-of-its-kind acute care flight nursing initiative, originally launched in 2002. Amid the program's annual weeklong summer camp, Ebersbach's friends and members of the Case Western Reserve community had gathered to honor her life and dedicate the Dorothy Ebersbach Academic Center for Flight Nursing. But then came a whole new reason to celebrate a woman whose great spirit was exceeded only by her compassion.
"I know that Dorothy is smiling down on us today," said Gayla Russell, co-trustee of Ebersbach's estate and a longtime friend. "She loved her time at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, as well as her experiences as pilot in World War II. These gifts combine two of her greatest passions in one wonderful program."

WASHINGTON — IRS workers in Cincinnati developed and implemented inappropriate criteria to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status a practice that was allowed to continue for more than 18 months because of ineffective management at the agency, according to an independent inspector generals report released Tuesday.
The practice caused substantial delays in the tax-exempt applications for tea party and other conservative groups and subjected them to unnecessary requests for information, the report states.
Employees in the Cincinnati office told the IG that they considered the Tea Party criterion as a shorthand term for groups that might need extra scrutiny because they could be engaged in political activity.
Some tax-exempt groups are prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in political campaigns, while others are allowed to engage in limited political activity. The Cincinnati IRS office known as the Determinations Unit is tasked with reviewing applications and ensuring that any group granted tax-exempt status is not engaged in inappropriate political activity.
In its response to the IG report, the IRS noted that the number of groups seeking tax-exempt status has spiked dramatically in recent years, with one category of tax-exempt applications known as 501(c)4s doubling between 2008 and 2012.
We also received numerous referrals from the public, media, watchdog groups, and members of Congress alleging that specific ... organizations were engaged in political campaign activity to an impermissible extent, the IRS states in its response.
And as the IG report notes, political spending by tax-exempt groups mushroomed rising from $133 million in 2010 to $315 million in 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Against that backdrop, centralization of these cases was critical to ensuring that they were handled by trained employees in a uniform manner, the IRS said in its response to the IG report.
Workers in the downtown Cincinnati office, dealing with the influx of tax-exempt applications, started to flag any application that had the name tea party, patriots or 9/12. Those applications were then forwarded to a team of specialists for additional review.
The IG report does not make clear exactly who or how the criteria were developed, but says it came about in part due to insufficient oversight provided by management.
Not all the fault lies with workers in Cincinnati.
The report says that a manager in that field office asked for technical assistance from Washington in processing applications. Someone was assigned to help, but because of some miscommunication, work on the pending applications was halted.
The report says that the IRS has taken some corrective action but that more changes need to be made, saying the agency needs to better document why applications are chosen for special review.
The report further stoked controversy on Capitol Hill over the IRS handling of tea party applications.
We still do not know why the targeting began, how extensive it was, who initiated it and who knew about it, said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a member of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee who sought the IG audit. ■

Via the Daily Grail, Paul Devereux on tapping into non-human awareness surrounding us:
We have already noted that the idea that ontologically independent beings ('spirits') or intelligences are contactable through plant-induced trances is standard in most if not all shamanic tribal societies, but to posit such a thing in modern Western societies is viewed as tantamount to insanity, a nonsense notion to be dismissed out of hand.
Because of the deep-rooted modern Western assumption that consciousness cannot occur in any other guise than human (the ultimate hubris of our species, perhaps) discussion of a conscious plant kingdom, or of that providing a portal through which contact with other, ontologically independent beings or intelligences can occur, is simply not possible within the mainstream culture.
It is a remarkable fact that plant hallucinogens are hallucinogenic precisely because they contain the same, or effectively the same, chemicals as are found in the human brain, and so act on us as if we were indeed engaged in an interspecies communication.
That message may be to do with the need for us to change our minds, or, at least, to broaden our cognitive horizons. The plant kingdom could be urging us to allow the ability to 'switch channels' in consciousness terms to let them become a recognised and acceptable part of our emerging global culture.

4-Conditions: How Hurricanes Form
Learn about the four conditions needed for a hurricane to develop, When and where they occur and why we name hurricanes.
How can something as destructive as a hurricane have any sort of positive role to play on the environment? Hurricanes violently transfer awesome amounts of energy and heat from between the equator and the colder regions north and south of the equator, and are an essential element of Earth's atmosphere. We know that Earth's most violent storms need 3 conditions fulfilled to develop, when and where they occur, but why do we personify them by giving them names?
Four Conditions
A hurricane needs four conditions present to develop. The first is very warm, moist air with a tropical ocean surface temperature above 26C. The second is to be able to take advantage of the spinning Coriolis Effect which can only occur between 5 and 15 degrees north and south of the equator. The third is that the atmosphere temperature. As you go higher, the atmosphere must cool off quickly. The fourth is, from the ocean surface up to 9 km above sea level, the wind must be blowing in the same direction or other tropical disturbance. In the Atlantic the wind direction is west. Warm winds from the horn of Africa blow westward, gain moister and heat from the ocean, and Coriolis Force spin until ultimately developing into a hurricane.
Where and When
Hurricanes occur yearly at different times around the world. The North Indian Ocean hurricane season is between December and April, the South Indian Ocean's season is October to May. The Northwest Pacific's season is January to April, The Northeast's is between May and November and the Southwest Pacific season is between October and May. Finally, the North Atlantic season is between June and November.
Naming Conventions
Tropical Storms that reach 74 mph to 95 mph attain a category 1 hurricane status up to a category 5 status for hurricanes with winds 155 mph and above. When exchanging detailed hurricane information amongst hundreds of boats at sea, coastal villages, weather stations, media and bases, less prone to errors, were short distinctive names. In 1953, six lists of women's' names, rotated yearly, were used for hurricane's names in the Atlantic and men's names were not added until 1979. The name list is only modified when a name is retired because of a storm that was more costly or deadly and deemed inappropriate based on sensitivity issues.
The scientific classification for a hurricane is a tropical cyclone. The term hurricane is only used for tropical storms that occur in the Atlantic Ocean; in the Pacific, they are called typhoons and in the Indian Ocean, they are called cyclones. Hurricanes need 4 conditions met to develop. Some of these conditions required for a hurricane to develop dictate where and when global hurricane seasons occur. So severe, destructive and awesome are hurricanes, structured naming conventions have been developed so as to not be subjected to errors when discussing details of hurricanes.

She's been glamming up in her most picture perfect outfits for her boyfriend John Mayer's 35th birthday, but now Katy Perry feels comfortable around her new beau to go make-up free and dressed down.
The 27-year-old 'California Girls' singer has been dolling up in pretty floral dresses and skinny jeans for her licentious boyfriend's birthday celebrations, but it seems now she's got him in the bag she's not too keen on making a huge effort.
Katy went make-up free on exiting John's apartment in New York today after a cosy night in together, with the singer hiding behind a big pair of black shades and her black long fringe.
And it looks as though the 'Firework' hitmaker is fed up of making an effort for her new man, who has had trysts with an array of female celebrities including Taylor Swift, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston, as she went nonchalant in a cream sparkly tracksuit by Chanel teamed with brown ballet pumps.

But we don't blame Ms Perry for working the I-don't-care look, as she was on her way to the airport and just fancied being comfortable, unlike other stars like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna, who love to wear six inch heels on flights.
The couple, who have reportedly split up twice since they started dating back in June before recently reconciling again, are said to be heading away for a romantic break together, and Katy is thought to be celebrating her 28th birthday next week with her new man.
Her birthday falls on the second wedding anniversary for her failed relationship with ex-husband Russell Brand, however, so Katy is going to need all the support she can get.
A source said: ''Katy has been dreading October 23 for weeks now and has been trying to think of ways to turn it into something positive,'' The Sun reports.
We hope Katy works things out...

A nationwide movement is hitting the streets of Grand Junction. People concerned over government spending are holding "Tea Parties" all across the country and right here in the valley.
On Monday, about a dozen people held signs cars on the corner of 12th and North Avenue.
They're hoping to gain support for their event on April 15th, the day taxes are due.
The group says it is gathering to let the federal government know with all of the recent and proposed spending, they've gone too far.
"We want to express our outrage over runaway government spending-creating trillions of dollars in deficits that our children and our grandchildren are going to be paying back," Organizer Dennis White told 11 News on Monday.
The "Tea Party" rally will be held on Wednesday at Noon in Grand Junction at Lincoln Park. Atleast 500 similar protests are planned across the country.

Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda Earns Top Ten in Texas
AMA Motocross - Wortham, TX
Round two of the Lucas Oil AMA Motocross series is in the books and the Troy Lee Designs team had a strong showing. The weather was cooler than in years past and the track was well-prepped and made for good racing.
In the 250 division TLD rookie Jessy Nelson displayed his starting skills by pulling two big holeshots in only his second pro race ever. Nelson would hold the lead for four laps in the opening moto and eventually drop to seventh as he continues to learn the nuances of professional racing. His second moto holeshot was shorter lived but Jessy held on to ninth for seventh overall, his first top ten finish.
"This was a good building weekend for me," said Jessy. "If I can keep getting starts like that it will be a good summer!"
Travis Baker had a crash in the opening moto and could only get back to 18th position at the finish. Moto two saw Travis with a better start and a tenth place for 13th overall. Travis is due for a pair of good starts and a solid top ten soon.
Billy Laninovich had another tough weekend and finished 20-23 on the day. Billy is still adjusting to life on the 450 and if he can get a good start he will post a solid finish.
In WMX action Tarah Geiger made it tough for herself by crashing twice in the opening moto and finishing seventh. In the second moto Tarah was pressuring for the lead and lost her front end in a turn. She managed to still get a 4th in the moto and fourth overall on the day.

moving: Frederic Rzewski.
B.A. Nilsson
Frederic Rzewski
Pauls Episcopal Church, Troy, March 17
Even before the concert began, an unusual hipness permeated
the air. Classical concertsand classical-concert audiencesarent
known for that quality, but this promised to be an anomaly
among such concerts: A piano recital by a composer known for
writing music that reacts to the immediacy of his time. Politically
charged music, in fact, thats also well crafted and emotionally
Still, its an act of commitment to attend a Rzewski concert.
In Manhattan, it probably would have been a sellout. Here,
fewer than a hundred showed up for the free event, but it
quickly became an assembly of friends, because people assumed
that degree of hipness about one another and werent shy about
initiating or joining conversations.
Frederic Rzewski was born in Massachusetts but has spent much
of his professional life in Europe, where hes now a professor
of music in Belgium. His work with electronic and improvisatory
techniques 40 years ago has evolved into a unique musical
language that is innovative without being self-consciously
so, while acknowledging roots in classic music traditions.
His current compositional style is exemplified by Stop
the War, a work written in reaction to the U.S. invasion
of Iraq one year ago, and performed during the second part
of his Troy recital. He noted that the work was intended to
capture the contrast between his sense of rage at his government
and the commonplace pursuit of daily life. The episodic 10-minute
piece frequently returned to the ding-dong-ding motif from
the song Frère Jacques, presented in a number of different
guises in a succession of episodes. First it was rhythmic:
Rzewski drummed on the piano, drawing contrasting timbres
from different parts of the instrument. Stop the war, he
intoned as the drumming picked up speed and gave way to melodic
ruminations. They were often discordant but maintained a sense
of dramatic progression, fortissimo outbursts peppering the
way. The closing shout of Stop the war! wound down to a
clucking of fingertips on the piano before the works predictable
People United Will Never Be Defeated is the piece that
really put Rzewski on the map. It was written for Ursula Oppens,
who wanted a companion piece for Beethovens Diabelli Variations
in a 1975 recital; Rzewski spun out a series of 36 variations
on a Chilean protest song that happens to share a chord progression
with Paganinis 24th Capriceitself the subject of
a many variations sets.
Rzewskis intricately crafted piece takes us through an hours
worth of plangent, percussive, jazzy, ethereal musings, climaxes
with an improvised cadenza and finishes with an emotional
wallop. Its a piece built on a rallying cry that becomes
an even more overwhelming rallying cry as we hear the piece
tweezed apart and rebuilt. This is postmodern construction
at its fussiest, on a line with John Barths experimental
writing from the same period.
The 36 variations are broken into six sections, each of which
explores a different musical relationshipsimple events, rhythms,
melodies, counterpoints, harmonies and, finally, combinations
of all these. Thats because the sixth variation of each set
is a recap of the first five, and the sixth set recaps, in
sequence, each of the first five sets. And he even manages
to work in a quote of a Hanns Eisler anti-fascist anthem.
Although the performer may choose not to improvise a cadenza,
Rzewski is an enthusiastic proponent of this, putting him
squarely in league with the line of virtuoso pianist-composers
that seemed to end with Rachmaninoff, and of which Beethoven
was one of the most heralded. Not surprising, then, that Rzewskis
powerful cadenza should pay homage to Beethovens final piano
sonata, recalling a section that seemed to anticipate ragtime
by several decades.
Rzewski has termed Oscar Wildes De Profundis one of the
most moving essays in the English languageright up there
with Shakespeare. Drawing on a tradition of melodrama contemporaneous
with Wilde, he set eight sections of the text into a musical
context that calls for the pianist to recite the work against
music or drumming or silence, with musical commentary linking
the recitations.
Its another unexpectedly moving work, one that has been championed
by many pianists but finds an unparalleled interpreter in
Rzewski himself. Just to give a choice moment: I am one of
those who are made for exceptions, not for laws, wrote Wilde,
and the setting is followed, almost implausibly, by a Bach-like
interlude. It shouldnt work, but then Rzewski seems to be
a composer made for exceptions. His recital will certainly
prove to be one of the high points of this and many another

KUSA - A Denver Sheriff's deputy has been accused of taking underage girls drinking in Blackhawk.
Paul Della Rosa, 52, was arrested on suspicion of three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The sheriff's deputy admitted in court documents that he took the girls to the Ameristar Casino in Black Hawk and gave them alcohol. The documents say all three girls got drunk and one even threw up in a hot tub.
Another girl told investigators Della Rosa filmed them in the hot tub. However, police haven't found the footage.
Investigator say what they did find were pages and pages of graphic messages between Della Rosa and the girls. Many of the comments are too inappropriate to share and are sexual in nature.
Some of the text messages were sent on July 18. Investigators say Della Rosa wrote to one of the young teens, "I will have to lick you again," and "You little Vixon, I knew I liked you for a reason".
So far, the Denver Sheriff's Department says Della Rosa is still employed but on unpaid leave.
"We have to wait for the facts of the investigation to be completed before the agency can take any personnel action," Frank Gale with the Denver Sheriff's Department said.
For now, detectives say the only thing criminal they've found is the alcohol given to minors.
Della Rosa is being held in the Gilpin County jail on $10,000 bond.

TUPELO – A lone letter carrier was the only person who showed up for a rally in Tupelo on Tuesday, a day that postal unions across the nation designated to help "Save America's Postal Service."
Sherrie Crain, a 12-year employee of the USPS, drove two and a half hours from Cleveland to attend the event in downtown Tupelo. She said it was an informational line and not a protest.
"It's important," she said, standing outside the post office on Main Street. "We're really supporting six-day delivery."
The USPS has suggested doing away with Saturday delivery as a way to cut costs in an agency that is struggling financially. But, Crain said, one in five letter carriers would lose their jobs if Saturday delivery was cut.
The better solution, according to the National Association of Letter Carriers, is for Congress to pass H.R. 1351, which would lower the amount of money the USPS has to save each year for future retirement benefits.
The goal of "Save America's Postal Service" was to rally in front of the home office of each U.S. House member. There was some confusion about the location of the Tupelo event, but in the end, only Crain showed up.
"I don't think anyone's going to be here today," she said, as she got back into her car. "I was really hoping to see some other folks."

A hat tip to ScienceDaily for reprinting this news release from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) "Building New Drugs Just Got Easier":
The path to atomically precise manufacturing from organic synthesis involves building every larger and more complex molecules. This increase in the ability to discriminate between very similar reaction sites can be expected to lead to more facile synthesis of more complex molecules, both for drug discovery and for nanotechnology.

Plymouth Blockbuster stores escape axe as administrators announce closures
Posted: February 14, 2013|
TROUBLED DVD and games rental chain Blockbuster is to shut 164 stores – but not the two in Plymouth.
The chain, which went into administration last month, today announced a phased closure of another raft of shops – it had already shut 160 last month.
But remaining stores, including the Plymouth branches in Mutley Plain and Union Street, will continue to trade as usual whilst administrators progress negotiations with bidders.
The chain blamed the impact of the internet for damaging turnover when it called in administrators Deloitte.
The had a whopping 528 stores across the UK employing 4,190 people.
But staff in the stores earmarked for closure will now face redundancy.
An employee helpline has been set up to help staff find other jobs.
Lee Manning, joint administrator, said: "We have continued to review the performance of individual stores since our appointment a month ago and have concluded that further closures are necessary in order to restructure the company for sale.
"We would like to thank the Company's employees for their support and professionalism during this difficult time and we are also grateful for the continued support of customers.
"We are in discussions with a number of parties interested in purchasing all or parts of the business and will update on progress in due course."

Limber de Coco
Limber de Coco basically means coconut cream popsicles. In our house they are called "please make those yummie coconutsicles again". I found this recipe at The Noshery and quickly made these. All I can say is WOW! They are creamy,oh so coco-nutty and the cinnamon really adds a great touch. If you are a coconut fan then these babies are worth the simple effort it takes to make these. The only thing I left out was the egg yolk but thats only because I forgot. It's left as an optional choice and I believe it's used as a creamy factor. However I never noticed a difference when eating mine. They were perfect as is.
Coconut Cream Popsicles
1/2 can Evaporated Milk
1/2 can Coconut Milk
1/4 cup Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 Egg Yolk-optional
Cinnamon to taste
1/2 cup Shredded Coconut
Mix all ingredients together and add additional sugar and cinnamon to taste. Pour into molds and freeze until hard and enjoy!

To Marie de Boen of Ghent c. 1442
Dear Lady and especially loved
in Our Lord Jesus Christ, as much and as humbly as I can and
may, I recommend myself always to your good grace and in
your devout prayers and supplications before Our Lord Jesus
I beg you to strive ceaselessly to go from strength to strength in his most perfect love, remaining continually, strong and virtuous in his most holy and worthy service; for the kingdom is promised to those who set out on this way, but it is to those who persevere loyally that the crown will be given. And as long as we are alive there will be many perils, especially from our enemies, the world and the flesh, who day and night wage war on us in numberless ways. Against these we must arm and defend ourselves, for it is needful for us to conquer them if we do not want to be overcome ourselves, and, as Saint Paul says, we cannot have the victory without a battle, nor a crown without a victory.
And I beseech him in his infinite goodness always to watch over and guard you completely, and so to enlighten you with his grace, that you may serve him always and endlessly, and love Him in the way of life which is most pleasing to him, and fight for him loyally under the banner of his Church. Thus you will be able to love him everlastingly and reign in his glorious, heavenly palace, for ever and ever.
Your unworthy handmaid who prays for you,
Letter to Marie de Boen of Ghent c. 1442

Living on the edge
If you have ever been to Timber Cove Inn it is likely that you may have seen a few errant cows along the road. The first time I came across them I literally contemplated advising the authorities that an entire herd was going to be tumbling off the cliff if they didn't send someone out this instant to rescue them. Of course when I recounted the story to a few members of the Timber Cove Inn team they struggled to repress the she-is-clearly-not-a-local sentiment and patiently explained that those cows actually LIKE it there. Something about how sweet that particular patch of grass is (?). So the next time you drive up the Sonoma coast to Timber Cove Inn once you pass bars on the road (we used to call them "cow catchers" but I am sure there is a real name), give them a little head-nod and try to ignore the death-drop-cliff behind them.

Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
Thanks for calling Romney out- this is almost as disgraceful as when he compared himself to the 9% of America that is currently unemployed- Sorry buddy, when you have $300 million in the bank, your unemployed is just not the same.
This idiot is the typical lying republican.
Romney makes a joke, you crucify him. Obama says "shovel-ready wasn't so shovel-ready" - a very different thing given that he was joking about how wrong a bet he made with $800 billion of our money was - and you... hear crickets?
Nothing in the video was a lie. The guy never said he had no job; just that it was hard to get a job that he was qualified for. My brother had the same problem when he graduated as an accountant - everyone wanted experience, and there was no place to get any.
Young people are astonishingly stupid. A simple browse through Facebook will show you.
Oops. Having grown up in in Midland, believe me, there are far fewer "hardscrabble" images there than in other parts of the state (Flint, anyone?). It is the world headquarters of Dow Chemical, and Mitt really should know that.
The signficant issue isn't whether this kid had a job or not. The issue is that the US economy has been underperforming since 2008, and this administration's policies and words have not earned the respect nor the confidence of business leaders. We need a president who understands the drivers of our free-market economy and can inspire the confidence that will lead to increased private investment and more jobs.
So Mitt Romney put together a fake video campaign highlighting the supposed "misery" of Americans under Obama by filming a Republican official that has a job and no apparent "misery" attributable to the president or his policies? You know, Mitt, Americans prefer honesty and integrity in their politicians and presidential aspirants...
Fat, republican and stupid is no way to go through life son.
There are currently: 33,960 overall job openings in Michigan.
1,656 jobs within 50 miles of Midland, MI.
1,155 jobs within 25 miles of Midland, MI.
If Mr. Romney's had gotten away with his proposal in 2008 to let the automobile industry go bankrupt, the unemployment conditions in Michigan would have been worse.
Maybe Joe the Plumber will make a commercial for flip flopping Mitt next.
The video was a lie. There are plenty of stories out there of people struggling. Using this guys line of b.s. was just plain stupid. Comedy Central out to have fun with this one by spoofing it on the John Stewart show.
I really don't want to vote for Obama but given that the Republicans haven't really changed, I may have no choice.
UNEMPLOYED ROMNEY REPUBLICANS .....Is a new acting job description.
Hey Mike do you mean to tell me that all the movies I've seen of tragedy, death, pain and heartache wasn't actually happening to those people and that they were actors???? I can't believe this! I'll never believe another thing I see on T.V. or movie again! Wake up and smell the cofee MCFLY!! This article and all the other articles trying to dig for anything like this on Romney are just showing how desperate they are to find something to write about to push their pathetic agendas! They act like its a total news flash or disgrace that there are actors in these videos and not real-life situations pertaining to that individual person! Ever heard of commercials too? What's even more pathetic is people like you Mike who actually fall for these articles and become influenced by them! All that should matter is the story-line or point that is trying to get explained by Romney or anything you watch! Oh and by the way my real name isn't John either! So I guess my entire post is a fraud like Romneys!
Really Wall Street Journal? This is all you can write about? It's either a really slow news day today or it was "bring your kids to work day" today and this writer let his kid write the article for him!
Not surprising. Romney was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

A story so insignificant that you took the time read and write a comment.
Or did you comment without reading it? Must be a slow day for you too, aye?
Mitt Romney, Bain Capital, layoff master, outsourcer extraordinaire...feels your pain.
For the dunce's criticizing Mitt's deep business experience ( "Bain outsourced jobs"), please seek remedial business experience....Bain Capital has successfully built businesses over decades and created tens of thousands of jobs in the process. Doubt our community organizer created one in his entire career...
Other than attacking President Obama for working on solving the problems he inherited from Bush, what do republicans have to offer the American people? Tax cuts?
@ Romneydontcare 11:40 pm -
Tax cuts, de-regulation and...er...well, that's pretty much it. Trickle-down, trickle-down and more trickle-down.
Remember, Republicans think there are only two types of Americans: winners and scumbag parasite leeches.
If Romney were any phonier, he'd be made out of cardboard.
"The issue is that the US economy has been underperforming since 2008, and this administration's policies and words have not earned the respect nor the confidence of business leaders."
On this administration's watch, corporate America has seen its profits soar to all-time records, witnessed a 40% gain in the stock market, found their taxes to be at a sixty year low, and watched the government save the entire domestic auto industry.
What exactly does this administration need to do to earn the "confidence" of business leaders?
Don't worry. In a month, Multiple Choice Mitt will have an ad on the air taking the exact opposite position.
"Doubt our community organizer created one in his entire career."
Except, of course, for the stimulus package that the CBO says created 3.7 million jobs.
Moody's, IHS, even AEI credit Obama with millions of jobs created. But don't let "facts" get in your way of a good joke. Or even a lame tired one.
Oh, and if you're going to call other people "dunces" you might want to avoid a third-grade grammar error when you do so.
What's happening here? Comments are now all against the republican line. Why are people defending Obama and his policies with facts, truths and thoughtful arguments? Oh nooooooo...... I am melting............!
Is anyone else kind of creeped out by this article's reliance on Facebook and Myspace info?
That fatso lying republican guy should lose some weight, get a shave and take some remedial ethics courses. He may be employable after all that.
He is employed by the repubees?
Romney is not very honest or completely out of touch
I read your comments (Repub./Romney haters) and it's so depressing to realize that there really are so many young uneducated people out there. And uneducated in EVERY way! So Stupid! You want facts? Go study them. The "fact" is that Obama the brainless one, has and is destroying this country! Period! That's the fact. No way for this to be disputed anymore. And he can no longer use George Bush as a scapegoat! This mess is Obama's. He owns it and those of you who are so worried about how authentic this add done by some college kid is, take at look at your P R E S I D E N T! He is a lying fool and he's all about him! Not the people of this country. College graduates are in fact finding it very difficult to find jobs and that's because there aren't any, and that's because our economy was NEVER stimulated! Duh! Nobody lies like him! The "fact" is.....We need someone with intelligence who knows exactly HOW to turn this country around! That someone will be Mitt Romney, because guess what, smart people are already lining up to vote for him. The rest of you go play X-box or watch cartoons or something. Seems to be your level of intelligence. Stupid!

If you believe that Scott Brown, Susan Collins, and Olympia Snowe are good conservative Republicans then you also believe Mittens will be a good president. Folks, the time for moderation is way behind us. We have already sold our kids down the river to the Chinese. We are at the precipice and the next step takes us over the edge. Mitt Romney will take that step. After all, who created Obamacare 1.0???
I'm a Midland resident. I like the video backgrounds. They tried to make Midland look rundown. It happens to be a very upscale town dominated by conservative Republicans. Home of Dave Camp, House Ways and Means Chairman. One of the best local economies in Michigan. Northwood University in Midland is a VERY expensive private conservative college. If he could afford to attend Northwood, he's got some serious cash, or at least did before he paid his tuition. Yep, this guy is in sad financial shape. At least until he runs for his first Republican political position, which is an automatic win for a Republican in this town.
Selling your home is similar to most any business enterprise in that if you're not getting the revenue you have to cut your costs. The real estate agent's commission is the largest cost incurred when selling your home. You CAN do it on your own, and my six percent can help. We'll walk you through the process step by step and not charge you a penny to do so. We're Free, We're organized, and We're intuitive.
My Six Percent – Because You Don't Need A Real Estate Agent
So absolutely dishonest. Mitt Romney will never be my President. Pant On Fire!!!!!
Wait... oh yeah. There's such a word as "UNDERemployed". No wonder King was ecstatic to get that apparently hard-sought job, when, as he hinted, many classmates couldn't. Unless Jonathan Weisman is prepared to snoop out his finances and show us that, both now and before May 6, King was perched on a throne, he shouldn't make these implications that King is a snooty, big-spending rich kid who threw his own excess money at school. For all we know, school put him in debt, as it does to many others. Maybe Weisman only accepts a tale of struggle if the person is addicted to drugs and welfare, and votes Democrat. Romney could certainly scare up enough of those. King, on the other hand, complained about a job shortage that he had known by experience -- the same one most college students know, amidst this stalled recovery -- before having gone out and made the effort to secure something to pay the bills. To me, who am in a similar position, he made an excellent example of how underemployment is a lot better than nothing, but still a source of constant strain.
Really, he had either has serious cash or did before he went? Why don't you look into the private donor scholorships that you can get from there. And also, have you heard of *wait for it* LOANS? This is the whole reason the video was made!! People go to college so that they can earn more money in their careers right? And if you dont have the money to pay for it, you have to take out loans right? So, what happens when you graduate college which was supposed to get you ahead, and you are presented with the same min. wage jobs that you could have gotten when you graduated? And what happens when you can't pay off the loans because you can't get a job to pay for them, because the job market sucks SO BAD that now you are even worse off than you were before because you wanted to BETTER yourself? Answer?

Typical insurance companies have become through the years through telephone calls, recommendations, and native networking. Present day insurance customer has transformed all the normal. Individual's clients continue to be available, but still dominate the marketplace, but there's an increasing segment of clients that like to make use of the web. Agents will need to embrace this clientele to proceed with strength.
Occasions are altering in the requirement for agents to trace where each lead originates from too. A great business proprietor knows what assets generate the kind of prospect the representative is searching for and spends more time and effort with what works best for them. Wherever your prospects arrived at your agency from, monitoring and looking after this post is good business.
Finding out how to effectively manage your leads may be the starting to an effective growth strategy. Do your producers possess a specific technique to turn each sales chance right into a closed purchase? A part of a highly effective sales process is developing a specific sales process. The best method to track in case your sales force is after this sales plan's through the effective use of a highly effective Lead Management System. A great system helps make the sales process simpler and makes monitoring your marketing and purchasers structure simpler.
Search for a method that will permit agents to trace notes, memory joggers and fix documents for every lead. Stand out excel spreadsheets is only going to permit limited notes and do not hold all of the coverage information for marketing at another time. Scrolling with the fields produces confusion which line to input information and doesn't allow agents to look at all correspondence towards the prospects. Also, through employing a lead management system, the company keeps possession from the leads and also the processes surrounding individual's leads.
Recording all activities for every lead also enables agency managers to determine which constitutes a great sales process. The number of telephone calls are required, telephone calls completed, as well as verbiage through the sales process. Monitoring these components and examining them is vital to the prosperity of any agency.
Effective lead management is an integral part of operating a business. Whenever your sales team's time is spent getting in touch with clients, producing new leads through sales calls and shutting individual's deals, you aren't only improving the quantity of sales calls that the office receives, you're also growing your business's revenue. Effective lead management is turning that revenue back to your company for more success and developing a never-ending stream of customer contact.

However, there are cases where you might have multiple DataSources, TransactionManagers, or other infrastructure beans. In which case, you only have option #1, because you can't put @Primary into a class you didn't write and only have the .class of.

Perfluorochemicals (PFCs) in Minnesota
Perfluorochemicals (PFCs) are a family of manmade chemicals that have been used for decades to make products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease and water. PFCs have been found in the groundwater in Minnesota.
PFCs are "emerging contaminants." This term describes contaminants about which we have a new awareness or understanding about how they move in the environment or affect public health. PFCs, like other emerging contaminants, are the focus of active research and study which means that new information is released periodically.
Topic Areas:
PFCs and Health- Overview of PFCs and Health
- Health Guidelines for PFCs in Drinking Water
- Biomonitoring (PFCs)

|Genetic parameters for first lactation milk yields at three levels of herd production.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 3624596 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|A multivariate linear model was used to estimate sire variance and covariance components and residual variance components for first lactation milk yield and logarithms of yield at three herd production levels using Restricted Maximum Likelihood with the Expectation-Maximization algorithm. Data for four separate analyses were 305-d, mature equivalent first lactation milk records from cows sired artificially in the northeastern United States that freshened in 1970, 1971, 1976, and 1984. Respective numbers of records for each year were 42,618, 40,207, 33,581, and 34,196. Corresponding numbers of sires were 298, 289, 305, and 313. Herd production level was defined by mean yield of all cows freshening in same herd-year-season. For untransformed records sire and residual components of variance increased as mean increased, both within and between years. Correlations between sire effects at different production levels were all above .85. Heritabilities increased as production level increased. These results indicate that it may be necessary to account for heterogeneous genetic and environmental variance in sire evaluations. For logarithms of yield, sire components of variance were similar for each of the three production levels within a year. Residual components for logarithms decreased as production level increased. Change in variance from one production level to another was considerably more for logarithms than for untransformed yields.

I have so many hands. So. Many. Hands. I can feel arms that I don't have yet. They tickle. I can see the blood in my eyes. I think something is happening. The hands!!! I'm ticking myself with hands I don't have yet! I can't stop giggling about my notyet hands!
