Run along, fanboy... #31 (Edited 1078d ago ) | Agree(6) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply 5eriously + 1078d ago I never made any choice of purchase on what others say or just because something is popular in my life so Google's "predictions" will never sway me! The fact that I decided to buy a PS3 instead of a Xbox based on what the technology offered was proof of that and now that decission seems well vindicated. #32 Agree(1) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply hadouken007 + 1078d ago Anything for hits. #33 Agree(4) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply TheKayle + 1078d ago ppl just need to realize that nowdays MS and Sony moving on different areas...while sony is still trying to make happy their hardcore gamers base (is a very low % compared to all the gamers types) Ms is trying to do the bingo ...there r girls that i know the kind of girls that go in disco with 12cm high heels and miniskirt that ask me "u need to come and play with kinect is awesome!" this could be a stupid example but ..trust in me ..isnt im a 35 years old gamer and less some very rare case i never seen girls interested in a console like this gen they did with the kinect for x360 .. While i think hardcore gamers (and i think to be one of them) will N E V E R...be really happy about the current gen and always will have something bad to say about a company or a game all the others r more easy to satisfy Hardcore gamers ..r divided and play on different tech ..most of us prefeer pc for the high end gaming (yeah put it in your head ...is like this) and play console games just to have fun in the spare time.... i got ps3 and x360 but i can admit that i spent more hours on league of legends and..guild wars 2 than all the hours that i spent on xbox and ps3 together yeah is true some games r unique..look uncharted....or halo but what im seeing is that there r 3rd party games that dont have nothing to envy on exclusive games...look at the new tomb raider or mgs zero ...mgs rising or..red dead redemption ( i could say other 30 titles) exclusivity is going to be a sort of pure fanboyism and i can say without any shame that my life as a gamer would be totally the same without playing a god of war game...or gear of war game (also if i played both) next xbox get more interest coz is rumored to give more than just GAMES...and to more ppl than just hardcore gamers In half of ur comments im reading who sell more...but the questiona nd the answer is very easy....they could sell on par........no no look i wanna do better...let imagine sony sold more ps3 than xbox and all the charts r wrong the answer is....Ms get x10 times more money than sony selling less console......why? boh i dont know i have my idea of how it work here in italy and in most of europe i think ps3 sold this much in europe coz of the ps3 software hack...country that have low piracy...if u go to check r the place where xbox sold more....coincidence? i dont know...but i can say that all my friend that got a ps3 have it with a custom firmware on it... If is true that the x720 will be what rumors r saying well i think we have already the king of the next gen...but...but hardcore gamers like me....or probably like u ....will buy both system and upgrade their pcs too ...so This gen is pretty end...and still ppl fight like dogs on who win ...on who is the top seller....when the answer is there ...who get more money is the winner in this game guys...and good or bad ...for u...is Nintendo>Ms>>>> Sony I putted all of that ">" coz sony is the only one with big financial problem and also if u could say..."oh but that problems come from tv market not the gaming one".....i could answer that sony did more mistakes than good hit in the gaming area too ..look at the vita fail...loook at the price of the ps3 look at psn hack.....look at the cfw hack look at the ps eye and move fail now all of this is hard to understand? no i think no... we all love games and i can admit that ps3 gave to me great games ....i LOVED uncharted but one thing MUST be clear coz numbers talk for itself sony end 3rd this gen and if someone still thinkin that they can get up from this situation at some months from next consoles announce is blind or stupid or is just a fanboy that is worst than the first two now go with all the dislike but give me a good reason to change my mind on this and probably ill do it #34 (Edited 1078d ago ) | Agree(2) | Disagree(6) | Report | Reply ajax17 + 1078d ago Just write a few sentences...

What is going on? Is someone lying? http://n4g.com/news/1139040... #35 (Edited 1078d ago ) | Agree(5) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply hardcorehippiez + 1077d ago its all a pr game . by the time these systems release you will be well dizzy. get ready for the shit to be flung and a load of fud to be spread. people these days try to make themselves look good by ripping down other people /things rather than trying to better themselves. its really kinda sad . i know who has supported me the best for games this gen so i know where ill be going next gen. simples #35.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply abzdine + 1078d ago if it's the same games they are releasing (halo and gears) and the same broken Kinect things there is no risk this could happen.

If you're looking to play quality games...you need to look elsewhere. #37.1 Agree(9) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply iamnsuperman + 1078d ago Has no one really thought why this has happened. The "leaks" coming out about the nextxbox seem far more credible than anything coming out about the PS4. Of course something will be searched more than the other if the leak is far more credible. This "result" the article has claimed to have found means nothing especially when you look into the factors Also google hasn't predicited anything. The author has assumed based on secondary data he/she has collected. Seriously sometimes i loose faith in us wih the stupid stuff that keeps happening. If your going to do your own research at least title it correctly #38 (Edited 1078d ago ) | Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply strigoi814 + 1078d ago So google is related to Nostradamus???

It's all good. #40 Agree(4) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply RealtorMDandDC + 1078d ago I find it interesting that people talk about 360 beating PS3 is sales...blah..blah. But what people fail to realize is that of those 70+ million sales how many are attributed to the replacement of console due to RROD, malfunction to the DVD tray, and etc. I can't pay no mind to Xbox 360 sales figured cause it's seriously flawed. I would cut the numbers in half....Because everyone I know that owns a 360 are on their 2nd 360 at the minimum..I know people dumb enough to be on their 4th. How many people seriously still have their original Xbox 360 from day 1. I would say that percentage is extremely slim..I still have my Fat PS3 and a Slim... #41 Agree(6) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Toman85 + 1078d ago Microsoft screwed over for me with X360 with promises and babbling over Kinect for hardcore, they have the best and most exclusives and so much more, why bother with X720? I hate to been lied at. Yes I have X360, so I know what they been lied about. Nahh I will stick with my Wii U, coming PS4 and a coming next-gen PC and maybe X720 if they dont lie to me again and get some new IP's that's not involve Kinect or XBLA. #42 (Edited 1078d ago ) | Agree(5) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply NewsWithFriends + 1078d ago it's interesting to note that in 2012 Google searches under Consumer Electronics results were Playstation at #6 with no Xbox in site.... how else can we change up search results to fan the flames of the fan boy wars?

For instance, head over to neogaf. There have been more rumors about xbox 720 since early 2012 and maybe end of 2011 and the ps4 rumors didn't actually start to land until sometime just after the 2012 fall season. #50 (Edited 1078d ago ) | Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Vickistheman + 1078d ago So the doom articles for psOmni/Orbis begins. #51 Agree(3) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply zero_cool 1078d ago | Spam gamern4g + 1078d ago Google has predicted a lot of things and you know what - its not like that. #53 Agree(1) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply ipe + 1078d ago Irrelevant in japan,asia, developing countries. xbox check 2 years and 300euros advantage in europe wasnt enough for xbox.

Halo, Gears and forza won't do it for me next gen, I need something new. BUT we can't say much until it comes out, maybe Microsoft got a hidden cards in their hands (New IPs). Sony, as a company not the playstation brand, is not going too well lately. New IP and first party studio are not a problem for Sony. Plus, maybe could gaming will become more popular. Lots of questions for so little information. #55 Agree(0) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply Ryo-Hazuki + 1078d ago What a joke #56 Agree(5) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Treian + 1078d ago I just lost all respect for Google... #57 Agree(2) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply ChipChipperson + 1078d ago Google also made Google+ to crush Facebook, look how that turned out. #58 Agree(2) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply EffectO + 1078d ago Interesting considering quite a few PS4 leaks for the past few months.There is even some accurate(but old) PS4 target specs sheet on the internet. #59 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Bumpmapping + 1078d ago I predict 720 will have more exclusives than the PS4 LOL!Gotta love Patcherdamus affect lulz! #60 Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply « 1 2 3 » Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

Student reunited with paramedic who saved his life
A Hawkinge student who survived a road accident was reunited with the Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance paramedic who helped save his life as his college handed over a donation to the charity helicopter.
Former Brockhill Park Performing Arts College student Kristian Berry, 18, wept as he met Operational Support Manager Gary Wareham for the first time since his accident last summer.
He visited the helicopter base at Marden on Friday with fellow students and his mother Sally to present a cheque for £1,634 which was raised from a concert and non-uniform day.
Kristian suffered a head injury and fractured ribs after he collided with a car as he crossed the A260 at Densole
He was resuscitated by a passing GP before the air ambulance arrived and he was assessed at the road-side by the helicopter's doctor and paramedic.
The teenager was then flown to King's College Hospital in London where he was put in an induced coma for two days.
He spent two weeks at the Major Trauma Centre before he was finally allowed home and has since made a full recovery.

I had been going to this practice for 20 years and it was great up until about 3 years ago. They randomly stopped letting me see Dr. Paige and scheduled me with another Dr. They never return phone calls. When you do have an appointment expect to be there for at least a 1.5 hours, which only 15-20 minutes will actually be with the Dr. I got so fed up with them I had to switch to a new office, after being with them for 20 years. Very disappointing
Very disappointed with this practice - the phones go straight to voicemail! It never rings in office - no one will call you back and forget about getting a prescription unless you go there and even then she sent it to a Walgreens 130 miles away! I will research for a better practice - in Louisville - out in the country you just can't get up to date doctors.
Absolutely a horrible experience, I'm in my 40's and have been to several Doctors over the years,and this was definitely the worst experience ever,everyone I interacted with was in a bad mood,I was there for 2 hours,yet somehow felt rushed through at the same time.Felt like we were cattle getting moved around...If your looking for a great atmosphere this place is not it...Felt like a number,I will keep looking for a better primary care doctor...
Dr Paige has been my Doctor for about 20 years. He is always concerned about his patients and diagnosed a serious illness and got me the help I needed. I was concerned when he introduced concierge services, but I still get to see him like I always have. I love that he is moving to trying to get his patients healthy, not just doctoring illnesses, although he does an outstanding job of that as well. Caring, great Doctor!
Dr Paige himself is impossible to see unless you pay a minimum of $850 to be in a guardian network just to be his patient. He has two more physicians to take over his patient load. The office staff takes forever to take care of anything over the phone. Most times I get voice mail and don't get a call back for some time. Although Dr Paige was my favorite doctor ever...i can no longer see him and it isn't worth getting through the maze of office staff to get in. they also stop taking calls at 4
I moved to KY 8 years and was looking for a new DR.I went to his office and thats all it took........His office is great and all his staff are so nice and warm and even funny. But when it comes to DR Paige he is the best DR I ever had...He is kind and very caring and will take as much time as you need. I just movied to Murfreesboro TN . I wish he still could be my DR.But inc will not cover me anymore with him. Because if thy would, I would still be seeing him even it would take 3 hours to get there........Thank you DR Paige and your staff for the best care I have ever got in my life. I will miss you all. But when I come to town I will stop bye to say hi.........Carol Joy Howard
My name is Debra Maher and I wanted everyone to know how special Allison Bowan is. I have been going to her for months now and I am happy to say she is my Primary Care Doctor. She is the only Doctor who cared about me and I feel she saved my life. She cares about my health and is a very kind and compassionate person. I feel Dr. Paige is lucky to have someone like her. I cannot say enough about how kind she is and how lucky I am. If she reads this I would say thank you Allison for what you have done for me. I think everyone should know that I have been to horrible hospitals and doctors who did not want to help me but Allison did and I am very glad she is my Doctor. Thank you.
He is a very caring and professional doctor both. My daughter is special needs and he has always gone above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and taken care of. Highly recommend.
Excellent doctor and office. I would highly recommend him.
good doc, thorough, accessible. (Only down-side...he's not open on Fridays)

|Reviews for Witch-Hunter
| darkworld777 chapter 1 . 2/9/2013
I like the idea of the main character losing her sanity and trying to rationalize her murder with a twisted idea of end justifies the means. It lends alot of depth to a character that has a major trauma happen to her. The grammar is excellent. I do notice that it would be beneficial to examine her methods of hunting in more detail.
| Ink Flows Into Power chapter 1 . 1/30/2013
I have to say that this is far better than your other stories by way of characterisation and general showing of emotions. Though there is still a distance to go on that front. However, I have to say that I was very impressed by the other elements of the story. There is very little that I can criticise (beyond what I have said) but I would like it to be just a little more detailed as I feel you are very close to neglecting to describe the world this is set in. What makes it different to our own? How do the people look? Other than that, a brilliant story and I hope to hear more from Oberon and his hunter
| A. Nonymous1234 chapter 1 . 1/13/2013
Wow... I think that was one of the longest stories of yours I've read. I did find myself skimming a little, it felt like it took a while to get to the point. I was surprised she ended up killing someone innocent in the end... that was pretty sad.. Still, this is probably my favorite of yours.
| Kay Iscah chapter 1 . 1/12/2013
I would cut the first several paragraphs and start with "There has been only one time that I've come close to killing him..."
Grammar notes coming in a PM.
I do like the twist at the end. Think you could do a bit more of a double twist.
I think the biggest issue is a confusion over setting. You're quoting/misquoting the Bible, but this is clearly a fantasy world. And you've got plumbing during a witch hunting era...which doesn't fit Earth logic either. Hotel rooms their own washrooms is pretty modern. If it was modern era, alternative history, you think she'd have a gun.

With their first pick in the 2008 NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns select ______.
With their second pick in the 2008 NFL draft, the Browns select ______.
With their third pick in the 2008 NFL draft, the Browns select ______.
Nobody. Nobody. Nobody.
Most teams are on the clock. The Browns must wait for dunes to shift.
And the Dawg Pound is happily draining its flasks. Phooey on the future. The Browns are going for broke. They were 10-6 last year and traded their top three picks in this year's draft in exchange for quarterback Brady Quinn, defensive tackle Corey Williams and defensive tackle Shaun Rodgers.
"Our defensive line was such a glaring weakness," said Browns general manager Phil Savage. "I've heard people say we're going for broke, but from our perspective, we can either do this, or we can continue going on with an Achilles' heel that was our defensive line."
For encouragement, the Browns can look at Mike Shanahan's first draft in 1995. The Broncos also didn't pick until the fourth round that year. And they eventually wound up with a running back named Terrell Davis.
There have been 42 Super Bowls and the Browns haven't played in any of them, not that they had much chance from 1996-98. That three-year period is remembered everywhere but Cleveland as The Bronco Years. In Cleveland, it's known as The Missing Years. (It could also be called The T.D. Years).
Although Savage has been generally lauded for his offseason maneuvers, he knows there will be criticism, not to mention boredom, come April 26. If the Browns don't make the playoffs in 2008, the devil (picture Art Modell with horns) will laugh.
Then again, how much worse can it get in Cleveland? Not even Bill Belichick could win there. Romeo Crennel, though, is going to get every chance.
Besides, there is a cautious element to the Browns' plan for 2008. The gamble would have been allowing quarterback Derek Anderson to sign elsewhere as a restricted free agent and turn the team over to Quinn. Instead, the Browns, perhaps more than any other team, can afford to have their starting quarterback limp to the sidelines.
"Our team is on the verge of being pretty good here and I would hate to see it derailed due to an injury to a quarterback," Savage said. "If we let Derek get out of here, yeah, we could have got a first- and a third- (round pick), and then Brady goes down early, then where are we going to be?"
Sleeper pick has broken foot.
One player who likely tumbled down the Broncos' draft board this week was Oregon running back Jonathon Stewart, who underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a broken foot. And yes, a running back is a possibility of becoming the Broncos' No. 12 overall draft pick.
Here's how Mike Shanahan approaches the draft: When picking late in the first round and beyond, a team's positional need becomes a large part of the selection. But when picking in the top 15, position becomes secondary to the best available player.
Everything being equal, the Broncos would prefer to take an offensive tackle at No. 12. But if Jake Long is long gone and Ryan Clady, too, expect the Broncos to select the unexpected.
Steroid problem not here?
Given the physical and insecure nature of a professional football career, there is reason to suspect performance-enhancing drugs are more prevalent in the NFL than in Major League Baseball.
But during a combine conversation with Troy Vincent, the NFL union president and former defensive back made a good point as to why steroids and HGH struggle to penetrate the football culture.
"We see more of the Ricky Williams situation," Vincent said. "Our players are 19, 20, 22, the prime of their careers. You start looking at the major leagues, and I'm not pointing the fingers at them, but they're men. They're very mature. They're coming into the majors at the age of 29. You listen to some of the stuff on Capitol Hill, listening to Andy (Pettitte), he was told it was a medical condition that it would help him heal. I'm dealing with a 20-year-old. A guy fresh out of the box."

Vernons Casino Review
Vernons is best associated with the Football Pools, but with the decline in popularity of that side of the business, it has cast its net further and embraced online gaming. The site offers a sportsbook and bingo in addition to the casino, which provides players with a choice of over 150 slots and table games.
The Vernons website is by no means flashy; it is fairly old fashioned and looks like a blog rather than a high-stakes casino. The top menu creates further menus offering the same options once clicked, which looks a little messy too. However, the lack of whistles and bells means that you are only a click away from the most popular games, which is the real reason that you are there in the first place.
Vernons Casino Games
Vernons sources its games from Playtech, so you will know exactly what to expect if you've previously played at places like William Hill, Bet365 and Paddy Power. There are a number of firm favourites, such as the Marvel collection including The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 3 and Spiderman, and you can aim for the progressive jackpot of Monty Python's Spamalot or join in the fun of Cops n' Bandits.
There's a reasonable selection of card and table games as well and a live casino if you like to see the roulette wheel spinning for real. There's nothing new and different to make Vernon's stand out from the crowd, but there is plenty of the solid, popular, tried and tested casino fare to keep you entertained.
Everything runs smoothly here as you would expect from one of the industry's leading game makers, and you have all that you need at your fingertips, which is handy. Having a menu across the top to navigate between types of games in addition to a drop down menu just above it isn't hugely going to affect your gameplay, but it is slightly annoying and clutters up the screen unnecessarily.
Vernons offers a 100 percent bonus of up to £200 on first deposits, which must be played through 30 times in 30 days before winnings can be withdrawn - a pretty good deal when compared to many rivals. Other than that there are a few minor daily promotions, with chances to double Comp Points or receive a refund bonus on certain games.
As with much on this casino, it's a good, reasonable offering, but certainly not headline-grabbing.
Vernons has an array of popular games and a decent selection of progressive jackpots too. There's nothing ground-breaking and new or different, but that will not bother many players who will revel in the slots and table games on offer.
The layout leaves a lot to be desired, with a basic design that lacks a little care and attention, but it's easy to find what you want, which is the main concern for players. Add to that a reasonable wagering requirement for picking up winnings from your welcome bonus and this is a solid place to indulge in some casino fun.

Hi all -- hope someone can help. This is a new install of 2.8.2. on http://www.matthewmuller.com
I started with WP 2.6 installed via Fantastico. Then manually upgraded to 2.8.2
I'm using the default theme and no plugins. I created one test post with a small photo included. All seemed ok in Admin. Went to view post on the blog and the blog was gone.
Noticed that neither Themes or Plugins show up in the admin even though I have both the default and classic theme and the basic WP plugins [Akismet, etc.].
>>> "You do not appear to have any plugins available at this time."
>>> "You only have one theme installed at the moment so there is nothing to show you here. Maybe you should download some more to try out."
Tried installing a theme. Here's the results:
"...Installing Theme from uploaded file: revolution1-streamline-10101.zip
Unpacking the package.
Installing the theme.
Theme Installed successfully.
Warning: file(/home/lmuller/public_html/matthewmuller.com/wp-content/themes/streamline_30/style.css): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/lmuller/public_html/matthewmuller.com/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180 Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in /home/lmuller/public_html/matthewmuller.com/wp-includes/theme.php on line 180...."
I have been working on this all night and cannot find how to correct it. Hope someone has an answer. Thanks.

Fine-tooth combing - Researchers finding state-of-the-art ways to measure wool
WASHINGTON — Soft sweaters and tough rugs — not to mention preventing scratchy underwear — start with experiments connected to the Texas A&M Agricultural Research and Extension Center near San Angelo.
The center partners with two other universities to weave newfangled fiber measurement systems so U.S. sheep and goat producers can compete globally. The San Angelo center's wool laboratory and its counterparts at Montana State University and the University of Wyoming are in line for up to $295,000 in federal funds.
West Texas produces plenty of fine wool that producers need measured right.
"Most of that goes into apparel that can be worn next to the skin because it's so soft," said Dr. Chris Lupton, professor and animal fiber researcher at the San Angelo center.
The U.S. House of Representatives has approved its versions of the appropriations bills, including House Resolution 3161, which calls for the wool fiber research money. The Senate version of the same bill, Senate bill 1859, calls for only $100,000 for the research and is awaiting a vote on the Senate floor.
If President Bush signs the funding measure into law, the bulk of the money would go to San Angelo for the center's 2009 fiscal year.
The dollars will help pay for ongoing or new initiatives at the Concho Valley wool lab, Lupton said. The initiatives range from producing sheep with finer wool to breeding goats that munch up and eradicate nuisance brush.
The three labs are collaborating on measuring systems involving digital cameras, laser scanners and infrared technology to determine fiber quality. A cheaper, faster, uniform system to measure qualities of wool and mohair is important for domestic producers because the value and use of fiber are based on what the fiber is like, and most textile mills are overseas.
"So when we're selling to somebody in China, that becomes more and more critical, so he knows exactly what he's getting," said Dr. Rodney Kott, overseer of Montana's wool lab and extension sheep specialist, "and when it gets there, it's exactly what he thinks it is."
Otherwise, the buyer might go to court.
Fiber width is most important, said Dr. Bob Stobart, of the University of Wyoming Wool Lab. A fine fiber can be used in garments worn next to the skin.
Thicker fibers make up coats and rugs.
"Most people, when they buy a wool carpet, the only reason they change it is because they don't like the color," said Stobart, an associate professor in animal science. "It lasts for a long, long time, but you really wouldn't want something that coarse next to your skin."
U.S. wool has been subject to a labor-intensive, time-consuming process of determining fiber qualities such as width, strength and cleanliness, said Stobart, who has a position with the nonprofit American Society for Testing and Materials.
U.S. researchers have often looked to technologies from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa to adapt measuring systems. They want domestic producers to become current with the rest of the world.
One method, a laser scan, can measure 2,000 fibers in 90 seconds to see how wide they are, Stobart said.
The old way, using a microscope, takes five people five hours or more, he said.
Kott gave a real world example.
The Montana wool lab is working on wool underwear for soldiers in Iraq. The U.S. military is interested because wool doesn't burn, and burn injuries are a concern.
If the fiber's too big in diameter, too coarse, the underwear will be scratchy.
"And that's not a good thing," Kott said.
Wool labs
The Texas A&M Wool Laboratory at the Texas A&M Agricultural Research and Extension Center near San Angelo is one of a handful in the U.S.
The others are at:
- University of Wyoming.
- Montana State University.
- Yocom-McColl Wool Testing Laboratories in Colorado.
Source: Fiber researchers
Fiber facts
- Angora goats produce mohair.
- Angora sweaters are made from Angora rabbit fur.
- The thickness of a wool fiber is measured in microns.
- 1 micron = 0.00003937 inch.

Courier Services and What They Actually Do
Have you ever wondered how courier drivers do their tasks every day? Having courier insurance is highly important in courier business. Courier service owners are responsible damages and lost packages of their clients. Apart from that cost, they still have to pay for their employee's medical costs and vehicle repair or replacement.
Courier drivers spend most of their work on road. Delivering packages and parcels from one location to another requires a lot of stops. During those hours, there are a lot of things that could go wrong such as cases of thieves and accidents. With a reliable insurance, the financial burden for damages of goods and vehicle can be covered.
Main Types of Courier Insurance
- Third party, fire and theft. In cases of theft and fire, this insurance covers the cost for vehicle only. In case of accident, any damages to the vehicle will be covered by the insurance company. Bear in mind that the content of the courier vehicle is not included in this type of insurance. This may not be a good option for courier services that transport expensive packages.
- Comprehensive. This basically covers the expenses for any damage of both the vehicle and its contents. However, just like any other insurance, it is best to examine the details stipulated in the policy you signed up for.
It is important that you discuss your requirements before signing up for any insurance company. This way, they can create a policy suitable for the type of courier service you have.
Courier companies can implement their strict security measures and good driving standards to lessen the percentage of accidents. But at the end of the day, there is no denying the risk of always being on the road. It is not surprising that the insurance premium for courier insurance is higher than any other insurance.

Annette Funicello, Original Mouseketeer, Dead at 70
Annette Funicello in 'The Mickey Mouse Club' (Getty Images)
Annette Funicello in the 'Beach Party' movies of the 1960s (Everett Collection)
Annette Funicello, a member of Disney's original "Mickey Mouse Club" from the 1950s, is dead at the age of 70 from complications of multiple sclerosis, a disease that she's battled since 1992. She died peacefully at her home in Bakersfield, California.
Funicello was born on October 22, 1942, in Utica, New York; her family moved to Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley when she was just 4 years old. Walt Disney himself discovered her when, at the age of 13, she was dancing the lead in "Swan Lake" at the Starlight Bowl in Burbank. He invited her to audition for "The Mickey Mouse Club" and hired her on the spot.
After the show's debut on October 3, 1955, she quickly became the group's most popular member. The series ran for three years and continued in reruns through the 1990s. The show was later revived in the early '90s, featuring future stars including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling.
Funicello remained under contract with Disney and starred in TV shows like "Zorro" (1957) and "The Nine Lives of Elfego Baca" (1958). She also appeared in Disney movies such as "The Shaggy Dog" (1959), "Babes in Toyland" (1961), "The Misadventures of Merlin Jones" (1964), and "The Monkey's Uncle" (1965).

nothing special...
With MOTY 2008 wrapped up, we focus on the releases of February 2009.
Posted by Henley on Mar 5th, 2009
With MOTY 2008 wrapped up, we focus on the releases of February 2009. Quite a slow month heavy on the Half-Life 2 Steamworks releases and updates, with a few Indies for good measure. Lets hope March will have more featured releases!
Till next time mod away my good friends and watch this group for updates.
nothing special...
I know, too
Whatever is released in that month is released, Mod developers can only work so hard, So give them a break.
If you think that you can do better. Go ahead.
@ OP lol WHAT?
Only HL2 mods?
Except for Deadly Tower.
Umm, mideast crises is for C&C 3... The fact that it was an rts should have been a dead giveaway that it wasn't for HL 2 (with the exception of HL wars, because I know someone will bring that up).
What is with MEC 2?
And yeah, these mods aint nothing, that is very special, but they are fun to play, so who cares about that. And Eternal silence is more than a normal shooter by the way...
slow month :(
yep... well except for the steammods :)
I commend the developers for continuing development throughout the MOTY awards. It was an exhausting couple of months and the new releases look great. Keep up the hard work.
I don't really know much about how they work, the MOTY, but aren't they just exhausting for the crew? I mean... besides the interviews they "have" to do (PR anyone?) what else makes the devs be extra exhausted then some other time in the year?
Ontopic: really small collection of mods this time... pity
Well advertising and getting extra media all that.
Nice month, But I know them all, just the deadly tower first timer.
W00T your voice is back!
Why do we have to keep listening to that annoying Australian voice? What happened to the nice American announcer style voice? :)
Do you find the accent annoying in general or just his voice?
As an Australian I find the Aussie accents portrayed in American movies/shows tend to be exaggerated and closer to British accents. Just doesn't sound right compared to how people actually sound here.
Think he was goofing off a bit :)
I thought Henley was british... I like that... Also why do you like that tasteless american voice?
Henley is Australian.
As other said slow month but releases are releases.
hey great work developers
Work on Deadly Tower is still going on I can assure. There might be some new concepts in the next release.
:D Golden Source Update! great work guys
I don't know if all released mods should be here but I take the liberty and remind that Eye of the Storm mod for HL2: EP2 ( Moddb.com ) was released in January too..
Its featured releases.
Ah yeah we missed that one, sorry dudes.
MidEast Crisis 2 could be the reason why i would finally buy c&c...

RAD honors, assists local retirees
November 1, 2012
By Nathan Pfau, Army Flier Staff Writer
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (November 1, 2012) -- Retirees from all over came by the hundreds to take advantage of the services and information provided by Fort Rucker during Retiree Appreciation Day Oct. 26.
The day consisted of a Health and Information Fair at the Fort Rucker Physical Fitness Facility, a salute at the post exchange, and a social hour and dinner at The Landing.
Fifty seven vendors were set up at the physical fitness facility where they showcased the different services they had to offer to retirees, according to Jeff Adkins, health promotion coordinator for Lyster Army Health Clinic.
"This is our 38th annual Retiree Health Fair and it's the biggest one we've had so far," he said. "There are vendors here for the retirees to come and see to get information on anything that they need. There are even finance companies that they can talk to."
The health fair was also an opportunity for some to get a body weight assessment or even get their flu shots.
"The main reason that I came out today was to get my flu shot, but I didn't think that this was going to be such a huge event," said Barry Coven, military retiree. "This is amazing that people like me can come out and see all of the different services that are offered on top of getting a flu shot."
Isaac McCray, who is also retired military, attended the event and had his weight assessment done while he was at the health fair.
"They did a weight assessment on me and checked my body fat mass because it's always good to see where you're at [in terms of health]," he said. "I also wanted to come because I've participated in some civilian health fair programs and I've worked with these people, and I wanted to see how everything has been maintained since I retired."
The health fair is also a reminder for a lot of retirees to maintain a healthy lifestyle and check to see what benefits are offered to them.
"This is a good thing because a lot of these retirees don't know what their benefits are," said Adkins. "For some, it's been a long time since they retired and they might have forgotten what benefits they have, or for others they might just not have access to the Internet or a military base to stay current.
"When they come to one of our events, there are people here that they can talk to and get information about whatever it is that they have questions on," he said. "We're trying to educate as much as we can, give them the information they need and hopefully make their lives better."
Although improving their quality of life through the health fair is one way to better their lives, it's not the only way, and the Army and Air Force Exchange Service showed its appreciation to retirees with its salute at the post exchange.
"As a part of the Retiree Appreciation Day weekend, the [post exchange] gave a salute to our former Soldiers by offering unique specials, coupons, gift bags and a giveaway that included 40-inch LCD TV and home theater system," said Susie Antonello, visual merchandiser for the Fort Rucker AAFES. "We also supported the Retiree Health Fair by providing information on future events at the post exchange, answering questions and handing out coupons."
Retirees make up almost 19 percent of the 12.4 million people who shop at the AAFES, according to Antonello, and the event and festivities provide an incentive for retirees to take advantage of how much they can save.
"Every time retirees choose to shop at the post exchange, they provide needed support for Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation programs," she said. "[We] acknowledge that connecting with our military retirees is critical in building lifelong relationships with them."

I have just updated a set of instructions that includes complete SEO of Facebook comments. Come check it out if you need a little more help.
It's Facebook question of the week time (clap, clap, clap)!
Ken Colburn asks, "What are the pros and cons of the new Facebook Comments plugin that just launched?"
For those of you who don't know, last week (last week? two weeks ago?) Facebook launched a service that allows you to post your blog comments to your stream. From the development blog:
Comments Box is a social plugin that enables user commenting on your site so they are easily shared with friends or with people who like your Page. If a user leaves the "Post to Facebook" box checked when she posts a comment, a story appears on her friends' News Feed and links back to your site.
Friends and people who like the Page can then respond to the discussion by liking or replying directly in the News Feed or on your site. Threads stay synced across regardless of where the comment was made.
My answer to Ken on this topic is in the video below (if you can't see it in your RSS feed, click here and it'll magically appear).
What do you think? Do you post your comments to Facebook (or Twitter)? If you have a blog, are you going to install this plugin? Do you find this annoying or helpful?
Geoff Livingston did an interesting, and very thoughtful, blog post about this very topic last week. Head over there and see what he has to say. But after you answer the above questions and my question (totally unrelated; below)!
P.S. In return for answering Ken's question (and yours in an upcoming week if you leave one!), I ask you a question on the Arment Dietrich wall. So head over there and tell me what you think! You can even like the page, answer, and unlike the page if you don't want to friend us. It won't hurt my feelings. Well, not much.
I have just updated a set of instructions that includes complete SEO of Facebook comments. Come check it out if you need a little more help.
I personally think it is helpful for businesses because it offers more publicity without extra effort from the business's part. For ordinary users though, it could be a pain. I post different things on my blog, facebook and twitter. Some things I post to my blog are not meant for my family and friends on facebook to see for example, neither the comments on them.
This benefits Facebook, and who else? As usual. Not a fan of Zuckerberg. He screwed over his friends in college and he will screw his customers too. He can be trusted as far as he can be thrown.
The cons outweigh the pros by a long shot. If you want to take advantage of getting more traffic to your blog through Facebook there are plenty of other ways to do it. It's my opinion that the more automated postings become on Facebook, the value of the information will be diluted.
My pent up back logged commentary is ready! I have challenged some people to prove to me that just one Facebook's exploitation of people's streams efforts for businesses to invade our lives has been successful. They have tried so many things and have not had a winner. Places. Deals. Open Graph. Selling people's information. Email. Fan pages. Nothing has been a home run or even a double. The only successful money maker has been social gaming and facebook ads, which now have been outed as a failure for very poor click through rate. And since Facebook has built everything around the Posting Feed, the more things that get added the less we will see devaluing that stream even more. They already peaked last year. Growth has been Zero in the US since July and since last April usage per person per day has dropped dramatically. Why? because the less value we find in that update stream the less reason we have to be on Facebook.
Who the hell is their strategic visionary person? They should be fired. Then deported to Antarctica. And then buried 300 feet under the ice never to be seen again. Sigh.
From a B2B perspective, it would not be very useful to our company (TriComB2B) as Facebook isn't used as a touch point by other businesses or our clients for that matter. The only way that it would be somewhat manageable would be a method to filter the messages from the blogs on the newsfeed but that's just another hassle to deal with also. Overall, doesn't seem to be useful at the moment unless you're trying to stalk someone on Facebook, ha! In that case, it might come in handy.
Oh yes guys, don't forget that not everybody have a facebook account, so this plugin will be absolutely limited...In Europe, Asia, there are still plenty of people using Hi5 or just MySpace. This will stop many people commenting on blogs. There are many people avoid to making an account on the big CIA Facebook. At least with Livefyre we have alternative....Yahoo OAuth will be great to be added too... Hope the guys from @jennalanger will be doing that in the future :)
Gini, I found this post from TechCrunch interesting for those battling trolls: Facebook Comments Have Silenced The Trolls — But Is It Too Quiet? http://goo.gl/Abs7l
I added the new Facebook comments to my own little blog. Who am I to tell 600 million people they shouldn't use their preferred method? I also have Disqus, which I like from an anti-monopoly standpoint (as I do Livefyre in principle), but it obviously doesn't have and isn't likely to have the user base of Facebook. And I'm all for anything that makes conversation easier.
That said, it's a classic Facebook move--to your "con," I'd say it will be very messy and noisy for a while until Facebook improves its streams so that they're something digestible. UX has never been their strong suit. They'll have to come up with a way to separate them out somehow. It's SOP for them--discover a new value, push it out into the world half-baked, then react, back up as needed, and actually finish it.
Thanks for looking at this as a pro and con! Much-needed sanity in this discussion.
Gini I agree with your Con and I feel like it outweighs the Pro if you use Facebook for professional development & networking.
I do think it would be slightly annoying to constantly see your blog comments out of context and if it were me I would be afraid that my friend might hide my updates in their newsfeed. If so it could eliminate the chance to network with them since they would not see any of my updates.
Well. Between the post & comments on THIS post, I am pretty sure I'm not going to install it. Thank you, Gini et al!
When I saw the announcement on this all I could think about was when LinkedIn allowed people to connect to Twitter and all of a sudden status updates were changing so fast that they lost their meaning to me. This is the same way. Given that Facebook is traditionally (and I know there is an overlap) for 'pleasure', why would I want my friends to see comments like this one? Maybe a handful are in the biz, but a majority dont have an interest in the Facebook Comment plug-in and they most likely dont even know it exists. Nah - I vote down on this one.
Hey Gini I was just looking into the comments plugin from facebook when I ran across Ana's mention of you on my facebook page. Oh, and you have a great video presence! i.e. very nice! Keep up the great work Gini.
It's a shame that the twitter and facebook call out on Livefyre is so invisible ! I mean, they could at least have coloured the letters in their respective blue.
I do have FB comments on my blog, but don't really like it.
I don't like the fact that you can't efficiently answer the comments since they are not nested.
From a user point of view, FB comments suck because they are not indexed my search engines, thus preventing any backlink possibility.
Plus, if the blog owner ever decides to get rid of the plugin, all the traces of you ever participating in a conversation on that blog are as good as gone... oh, wait, they are gone! :)
I really understand you with getting annoyed by seeing a lot of various comments on someones wall. I know that I would get annoyed by it very quickly. Yes, it does give your blog some exposure to more readers but if you are a person that comments on a vase amount of blogs then it would be quite bad for the people that are your friends on Facebook. I mean you could break it up and not always comment via the plugin but that is only if the blog offers a different way of commenting.
I don't see this as particularly useful. I think it's important that every online presence understand where their center of community is and subordinate all the other tools as points of contact with that. Many of my clients are bars/restaurants, which is to say that the center of community is the bar itself - so all online activity feeds to the "live" experience as either points of contact or as content.
Spreading your community over several platforms encourages the development of distinct communities which you then have to manage. At best that takes time, at worst they develop distinct personalities. Yes, you increase your points of contact with this new app, but I think you dilute what's really important in the process. I also agree that too much twitter / facebook traffic out of context will be a huge turn-off for most people who aren't devoting huge gobs of daily time to social media, as has been shown in several good research polls.
So I say this is a big "No" until I can find a use for it.
Morning Gini!
You look fantastic as usual - my videos never look as good as yours. We should do a video on how to look good on camera similar to how to cut your bangs.
Back to the point. Thank you for posting about this. I've been thinking a lot lately about the updated commenting plugin. I was pretty into it at first but then read an article that kind of killed it for me. I'll find the publication's name (can't think of it now) but I read that since they implemented the new FB commenting system all of their comments were "nice". Nobody had anything controversial to say anymore. This was perceived to be because the posters didn't want their FB network to see their opinnions etc. They don't have the ability to post anonymously anymore (which can be good for spam). This changed the whole mood of an otherwise open debate. That's kind of a negative for me.
Do you know that your voice is not synchronized with your lips, Gini? Something to look into.
I haven't seen any blogs implement Facebook Comments -- in this official version. In the past, I enabled the Simple Facebook Connect plugin on my wordpress blog to let people add a comment, but that was confusing because there were two commenting systems at once. The neat thing about SFC is any comment left on my blog was echoed on their own wall aka Facebook sharing.
I suggest, for a spin on things, pun intended, to take a look at my friend John Eckman's plugin called WPBook which allows for your blog to be a Facebook application and any comment posted in one place is also posted in the other. I once had it installed and may bring it back in the future.

I get the following error when trying to use the importer. I've blocked out the URL of the website.

WP just says "We were not able to gain access to your account. Try starting over." And it's a loop from there between those screens.
It doesn't even ask for the Blogger login or the URL of the Blogger site that I want to import.

Skaneateles' dispatch is something very rare today. It's a caring, human voice to speak with in a world of confusing, electronic-driven, hurried-up communication. It is a voice that always has the answers or the ability to get help, even coordinated help, at its fingertips. The voice sometimes even calls back with more help.
I guess the best way to term the dispatch is to call it a "service," which in today's world is rare indeed.
Is this what Nick Pirro meant? Skaneateles thinks it needs better service than 911?
What I think is that with the information highway, we have this feeling that Skaneateles is no longer a rural community in the southwestern most corner of the county. But consider that over the last 50 years while everything has been speeding up, speed limits on the roads haven't and we are still using motorized vehicles for transportation.
I know the dispatch service is a line item on our village and town budgets, but it is one I am thankful for. As taxes are skyrocketing, do we really want less service?
On this Thanksgiving 2006, thank you to all who have populated our dispatch center over the years. You really make a difference.
