Unfortunately it is true the current Red, Yellow, Green scheme relies completely on color recognition and in my opinion is dangerous. Especially considering 7 - 10% of males world wide are red-green color blind.
As with other posts I suggest graphic symbols be used in tandem with the current color scheme might be the ideal solution.

Roads appear everywhere in their twofold aspect as substance and form. A sense of journeying, expectation and discovery is conveyed through sets of straight, curved or oblique lines. This provokes unique feelings at every encounter: our thoughts wander and merge inextricably with aesthetic pleasures, complementing and enhancing each other.

The bait shrimp fishery of Galveston Bay, Texas.
Chin, E.
MetadataShow full item record
From June 1957 through May 1959 the bait shrimp fishery in Galveston Bay, Texas, was studied to determine the species composition and the magnitude of the catch. Total production for the 2-year period amounted to over 676,000 pounds, having a retail value of almost $779,000. The fishery is chiefly in summer and fall: over 90 percent of the production occurred from May through October. Brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) and white shrimp (Penaeus setiferus) were the major species taken. Occurring sporadically were pink shrimp (Penaeus duorarum), seabobs (Ziphopeneus kroyeri), and Trachypeneus sp. The median weight of brown shrimp in samples obtained from the fishery was almost static at 2.0 to 4.0 grams and did not exceed 5.0 grams. The median weight of white shrimp fluctuated and ranged up to 15.5 grams. Young white shrimp apparently enter the bay later in the year than brown shrimp, stay longer, and grow to a larger size before leaving for offshore waters. Length-weight relationships for brown and white shrimp were determined.

Like most men who are into skincare I was never under the impression that Avon offered products that worked just as well for men as they did for women. I had an "Ahh Haa" moment when I reviewed ANew Genics Eye cream by Avon some months ago. It was an eye-opening experience that changed my perception of "Who" (It's me and you) the Avon customer is. So it came as no surprise to me when I received Avon's Moisture Boost Daily Moisture Lotion [4oz $9] and realized what a great product it is with the benefit of long-lasting hydration that provides broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays that can damage your skin.
The Rundown:
- A hydrating formula with Sea Oak Complex to provide all day moisture
- Broad spectrum protection from damaging UVA/UVB rays from the sun
- Instantly increases moisture by 264%
- Avon currently has a sale on their moisture lotion. Buy 1 and get the 1 HALF PRICE
I hate to admit it but I am a health nut and equally crazed about how I manage my skin. I would definitely say I am in it for the long haul, which is why running into small gems like Avon's Moisture Lotion is important to me. So what's the hype? As I said before the formula last right on through your day and offers broad spectrum protection. It goes on easy and doesn't leave you with white face which is a bonus. One thing I have noticed is that after applied your face appears dewy but dissipates after having an opportunity to fully dry to your face.

Since 1974, Quaker Steak & Lube® has been the place for anyone looking for hot wings, great food and lots of fun with friends & family.
Honestly the worst service I've ever had at this type of restaurant. Food made me sick.
All wings are good. Happy hour M-F from 3 to 7. Tuesdays is all you can eat wings and shrimp.
Bike night 3 dollar jack and cokes
Memory is the best waitress here!
Texas Cheeseburger Melt is off the charts...Texas toast and bacon, you can't loose!
No matter how many wings you order you can only choose two sauces.
Great wings, get the Thai'r'crackin' for some sweet and a touch of heat!
Got rid of the GTO Gyro. Its BS, was my favorite.
So fun. But the wait staff needs help
Basically it's the same type food at TGI Friday, just with a car/motorcycle infused atmosphere.
Pricey?? Maybe if you're used to eating at McDonald's! This place is awesome!
Waitress Sarah freaken sucks! This has been the worse service I've ever had here!
$9.99 all you can eat wings, boneless or bone in! Includes salad. Monday through Friday 11-3

The cupcaketini is yummy! Actually tastes like a cupcake :) and the daiquri's and coladas come w/ a fresh cut rose food is pretty good too!
Jammin trivia every Wednesday from 7-9. Great food. Great trivia.
Service was excellent. Food is decent. Waiter recommended we avoid the ribs. We did. Decent boneless wings. Even gave us sample sauces before we committed to one.
Good wings but just a terrible waiter.
Best place to watch Broncos game. Always enough room, and people here are fun to watch the game with.
Once again, great service and food.
I've done the triple atomic wing challenge and got my T-shirt, and my name on the wall, have you?

Great place to put out that fire with 2$ drafts!
All you can eat wings! TUESDAY! Jessica (bartender) is awesome! Amazing service with a smile! :)
Jess is the best bartender here!!!!! Come in and enjoy the amazing service!!!

Just tried this place for the first time today. Besides poor waiter service, food was good and atmosphere was excellent. Will come back to bar to watch baseball and basketball during the postseason
Don't work here if you want to be used for 8 months then dropped like prom baby
Particularly mediocre and typical food. I've had better wings sauce at small holes in the wall.
We sat here for an hour, being ignored. Never getting even our appetizers while everyone else ate.huge disappointment. Huge.
Tuesday is all you can eat wings bone in. Gives you a chance to try many different flavors with friends
Try the Atomic Wings... don't be scared, you can do it.

Both of these components are located near the pinout header for modchips. I think the iron used was too hot and loosened the chip itself, but i have no way of knowing. I removed the IC the rest of the way with a tweezers because it was obvious that 2 to 3 of the 8 connectors were no longer mounted to the board (the component 'slid' off the contacts).
I am unsure if the component itself is damaged - the xbox has not been powered on. The foil contacts on the MB itself are in perfect condition; it's the SMD component I'd like to identify (and replace) if I can...
Anyone know what this chip is or the manufacturer so I can find a replacement?
Any help greatly appreciated.
PS - if you want to see a pic of the component I'm describing, goto http://www.teamxecut...als/x3pin16.htm and look at the "before" and "after" pics of the pinheader install. You'll see the component in the lower right corner of those pictures.

This review is from: BELKIN F4U003 56-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader
Pros: Nice selection of card formats to work with, the one slot I bought it for slides in and out easily, fits snugly but doesn't have a death grip on your memory card like you'd expect.
Fairly small, fits in the palm of your hand, so you can really toss this in a cabinet drawer when not in use and take it back out when you need it.
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: Bought this for my camera's memory card when I realized I couldn't get the pictures off the camera without a way to get them off the card onto my PC without something to do that. Its served me well so far, no problems I've encountered yet and I really like the fairly small size. The USB cable + the card reader unit takes up very little space so I put it away when not in use.
Now I could've bought one that could be mounted into the PC, but having one that's portable like this is better since you can plug it into a PC and it'd recognize the device.
This review is from: Microsoft 52A-00004 Xbox 360 Controller for Windows
Pros: Nice controller for use on PC when my other one isn't recognized by Steam. Long cord that allows you to be a good distance from the PC when playing. Feels fine when in use, comfy enough to use.
Cons: Its an Xbox controller, so the D-pad and analog layout is a bit odd considering how Xbox controllers is arranged in relation to where your thumbs would normally rest, not losing any eggs for it though.
Other Thoughts: I bought this wired controller to play with some Steam games since it won't detect my Logitech controller which I find more comfy to use, but its working great for those stubborn games that doesn't recognize some controllers. I could've gotten a wireless one, but I prefer not to worry about replacing batteries or charging it when you can plug it into a USB port.
I'll keep this as a backup controller to my Logitech one and switch between the two depending on what games I play. Overall, not a bad controller.
This review is from: Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pen
Pros: Writes smoothly, has a rounded tip that makes writing fairly easy, the variety of colors stands out well enough, the body of the pen is see through so you can tell when you'll run out of ink and comes in a nice little pouch that you can fit them all inside.
Cons: Not really con except wish there was more colors available, the current ones are really nice, but the blue and black does look very close, and the pink sometimes could look nearly like red.
Other Thoughts: It'd be nice to have maybe an orange color pen to go along with it, very bright overall like highlighters though, so I'm using them at work instead of highlighters.
I hope to get another set whenever this set finally runs out.

Characters Spirit - Reboot compared to TOS (Possible spoilers)

Re: Characters Spirit - Reboot compared to TOS (Possible spoilers)
Yeoman Basha wrote:
At the beginning of STID, the writers definitely regressed Kirk's character because they wanted to give him the story arc of re-earning the captain's chair. The party line that I heard in several interviews was that Kirk got the captain's chair in the first film, but he truly earned it in the second film.
And to be fair, there was a lot of criticism after XI that Kirk had become captain too fast, so the writers were trying to address that. But IMO they laid it on too thick at the beginning of STID. Kirk starts the film by accidentally stunning his and McCoy's "ride" leading to the crazy jump off a cliff, and then we get Scotty chastising Kirk for putting the Enterprise at the bottom of the ocean. We also get a line from Sulu when the shuttle is failing, where he says something to the effect of, "I told the captain that the shuttle wouldn't be able to take this." Followed by Kirk's nonchalant, "So they saw us, big deal." Then of course the threesome with the Caitians, and it's also strongly implied that Kirk had a fling with Christine Chapel and dumped her.
So yeah, the writers went overboard with the immature playboy stuff in the early part of STID, but it was all in the name of giving Kirk a character arc where he could grow up (having Kirk's surrogate father die was part of that, too) and truly earn his position as captain of the Enterprise by the end of the film. I have faith that Kirk will be more mature in the next film, especially since I do expect a romance with Carol Marcus is in the cards.
I'm not sure he will have a romance with Marcus perhaps the twist will be that its McCoy and Marcus. But I think you have great points on Kirk heading towards maturity.
I don't have that much problem with Kirk having a 3-some or dating girls. I'm more concerned with the 'disrespect' he has for these girls. More problems with him leering at Marcus, saying 'hello Ladies', forgetting Chapel's name and I'm also condemning him for that deleted scene in ST09 where he mixes up Gaila and another Orion girl
At the risk of sounding like a boring feminist you just don't see Kirk interacting with women much in a positive fashion.
It doesn't worry me that much though. I'm not invested in these 'one-night' stand girls but it makes me think less of Kirk's character. I wonder if there are fans of the movies that admire nuKirk's interaction with the ladies.

Automating the world one-liner at a time…
A while back I mentioned that there was a way of adding notes to objects in the shell. Here is one way to do it:
## Adds a note to the pipeline input.
filter AddNote([string] $name, $value)
$mshObj = [System.Management.Automation.MshObject] $_;
$note = new-object System.Management.AUtomation.MshNoteProperty $name, $value
return $mshObj
As you can see I made it's a filter that will add notes to any object that is piped through it.
The first line makes sure that the object is wrapped in an MshObject. As it turns out, for performance reasons, some objects aren't immediately wrapped by an MshObject. I want to be sure that the object is wrapped by one so I cast it to MshObject. To tell you the truth, in the current build my filter seems to work fine without this line. However, there have been bugfixes around this so I'll keep this line around to be sure that it works with the last public drop. The next line is self explanatory. It creates an MshNoteProperty object, passing the constructor the name of the note and the value of that note. Then we add that note to the MshObject, using that MshObject property I mentioned previously. And finally the object is returned. That way we can pipe an object through several AddNote filters to add more than one note.
Here is a relatively useless example of its use:
MSH>$process = gps a* | AddNote Owner Me | AddNote DateOfSnapshot ([Datetime]::Now)
MSH>$process | ft ProcessName, Owner, DateOfSnapshot
ProcessName Owner DateOfSnapshot
----------- ----- --------------
AdtAgent Me 9/7/2005 1:53:42 PM
alg Me 9/7/2005 1:53:42 PM
MSH>$a = "foobar"
MSH>$a = $a | AddNote CreatedBy Me
So… now you've seen how to add notes. Feel free to use this in your scripts. Soon I'll post a script which makes much better use of notes.
- Marcel
[Edit: Monad has now been renamed to Windows PowerShell. This script or discussion may require slight adjustments before it applies directly to newer builds.]
Where are the notes stored? On the disk? Attached to each file?
They're attached to an object instance and are stored in memory until that object is garbage-collected. So - if you attach a note to a FileInfo object, it's attached to that object, not to the actual file on disk.
-bruce [msft]
Windows PowerShell Technical Lead
I try to run this and get the following:
PS [LDNDWM322539] >$foo = dir .\test.ps1 | AttachMD5
Unable to find type [System.Management.Automation.MshObject]: make sure that the assembly containing this type is loaded.
At line:3 char:51
+ $mshObj = [System.Management.Automation.MshObject] <<<< $_;
New-Object : Cannot find type [System.Management.AUtomation.MshNoteProperty]: make sure the assembly containing this type is load
At line:4 char:19
+ $note = new-object <<<< System.Management.AUtomation.MshNoteProperty $name, $value
You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At line:5 char:30
+ $mshObj.MshObject.Members.Add( <<<< $note);
I've try to [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Management.Automation.MshObject")
with no luck.
Any help would be great.
Many Thanks.

Plumeri attended Trenton Catholic Academy and Bordentown Military Institute (1962).[3][9][15][19][20][21] He then studied at The College of William & Mary, graduating in 1966 with a B.A. in History and Education.[3][9][15][19] While an undergraduate, he played on the William & Mary Tribe football team (on scholarship as a halfback for Lou Holtz) and baseball team (as a second baseman and outfielder).[9][22][23]
Upon graduation, he first taught History for two years at Langhorne's Neshaminy High School in Bucks County, in rural Pennsylvania.[19][24] There, he also coached football and two other sports.[19][24][25]
In 1968, he was in the Army Reserve for six months at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.[25] After he was released, he enrolled in New York Law School in 1968, but did not finish.[3][15][19][25]
Business career[edit]
Plumeri spent 32 years as an executive with Citigroup Inc. and its predecessors, before becoming Chairman & CEO of Willis in 2000.[7]
Carter, Berlind & Weill/Shearson Lehman Brothers (1968–93)[edit]
While in law school, one afternoon in 1968 he decided to look for part-time employment, and began knocking on doors in the Wall Street area.[25][26] Entering 55 Broad Street, he looked at the lobby directory and noticed the name Carter, Berlind & Weill.[25] Assuming (incorrectly) that if a firm had three names or more than it must be a law firm, he spoke to the receptionist who forwarded him to see a member of the very small firm.[25][27] The man took the time to listen patiently to Plumeri's story.[15][19] When Plumeri finished his speech, as to how he wanted to study at law school in the mornings, but learn about the practical side of the law by working part-time in the afternoons (since his last classes ended at noon), the man said it was a great idea—but asked: "What makes you think you'll learn the law here?" Plumeri replied, "Well, this is a law firm." The man corrected an embarrassed Plumeri, saying that actually it was a small brokerage house.[19][25][26][27][28]
The man was Sandy Weill. Weill was a founding partner Carter, Berlind & Weill and at the end of his career became CEO of Citigroup, Inc. with 200,000 employees,[29] Weill hired the 24-year-old Plumeri as a part-time clerk and gofer, took the door off a closet and had him sit there, and mentored him.[27][30] The two ended up working together for many years, with Plumeri as one of Weill's top lieutenants.[15][19][25][26][31][32] Plumeri said: "Sandy has been my role model. He's the shrewdest, smartest businessman I've ever seen, and he's also the sweetest."[31]
Soon after starting to work at the brokerage firm, Plumeri dropped out of law school.[15] At Carter, Berlind & Weill, he rose through the retail ranks with a reputation as a hard-working, market-savvy manager.[15] The small brokerage ultimately became Shearson, and Weill sold it to American Express in 1981 for stock valued at $930 million ($2,421,000,000 today).[15][19][33] By 1985, Plumeri was a Senior Executive Vice President and director of national sales and marketing.[34][35]
Plumeri became the president & managing partner of Shearson Lehman Brothers in 1990.[7][15]
Smith Barney (1993–94)[edit]
In 1993, Weill bought Shearson back from American Express. He paid $1 billion ($1,638,000,000 today), and merged it into its fellow stockbroker Smith Barney.[15][36]
Weill then offered Plumeri the presidency of Smith Barney.[15] "That was the most satisfying moment of my life," recalled Plumeri. "I cried—as usual—and I remember that Sandy shed a tear, too."[15] That year Plumeri became the President of the merged company (the predecessor of Citigroup's Salomon Smith Barney unit), and managed the merger.[8][37]
Weill abruptly dismissed Plumeri in August 1994.[15][31] Plumeri said he was dismissed because he was uncooperative with fellow Smith Barney executives.[15] He noted: "I was so intent on getting the job done, that I eliminated the input of other people. If I'd done better at nurturing relationships, who knows how it would have turned out?"[15]
Weill made Plumeri a Vice Chairman of Travelers Group Inc. almost immediately thereafter.[7][15][31]
Primerica Financial Services (1995–99)[edit]
Plumeri was then made Chairman & CEO of Travelers Group's Primerica Financial Services division (Primerica), a position he held from 1995 to 1999.[7][8][37]
In 1997, Plumeri earned at least $3 million ($4,420,000 today) in compensation.[15] In 1998, Primerica had net income of $398 million (on net sales of $1.65 billion), nearly double its 1994 $209 million net income (on net sales of $1.28 billion).[31] Speaking of his approach in business, Plumeri said:
I am an emotional person with a lot of drive, and that has caused some problems in my career. But I come from the view that you've got to be yourself, for better or worse. And what got me where I am today was my emotion.[15]
Citigroup (1999–2000)[edit]
Plumeri headed the integration of the consumer businesses of Travelers Group and Citicorp after the $70 billion ($99,434,678,000 today) 1999 merger of the two to form Citigroup Inc.[8][38]
Following the integration, he was appointed CEO of Citibank, North America by Citigroup co-Chairmen Weill and John Reed. He oversaw its network of 450 retail branches.[7][38][39] J. Paul Newsome, an analyst with CIBC Oppenheimer, said: "He's not the spit-and-polish executive many people expected. He's rough on the edges. But Citibank knows the bank as an institution is in trouble—it can't get away anymore with passive selling—and Plumeri has all the passion to throw a glass of cold water on the bank."[31]
It was conjectured that he might become a leading contender to run all of Citigroup when Weill and Reed stepped down, if he were to effect a big, noticeable victory at Citibank.[31] As CEO of Citibank N.A., Plumeri boosted the unit's earnings from $108 million to $415 million in one year, an increase of nearly 400%.[18][40]
He retired from Citibank unexpectedly, however, in January 2000.[27][41][42]
Willis (2000–2013)[edit]
The early years[edit]
In Paris on vacation, window-shopping with his wife on Rue Saint-Honoré, he ran into Henry Kravis whose leveraged buyout firm, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), had purchased the Willis Group in 1998 for $1.4 billion.[25][30] When Kravis asked what he was doing, Plumeri's wife jokingly said: "Find him a job".[27] Kravis called him two weeks later, and suggested that Plumeri run Willis.[25][27][43]
Initially, Plumeri had no interest in the position.[27] He said: "I really didn't want the job. I didn't know anything about insurance. I certainly didn't know anything about London. And I didn't know if my act would fly in London, to be honest with you."[30] But the more he examined it the more appealing it became, and Weill advised him that he should definitely take the position.[27][29]
Plumeri assumed the post of Chairman & Chief Executive Officer at Willis on October 15, 2000. He replaced John Reeve, who retired, and became the company's first non-British CEO and first non-insurance industry CEO.[8][15][29][44]
The staid, nearly 200-year-old, tradition-laden British-based company (established in 1828) was being run like a British gentlemen's club. It had suffered through hard times, having just incurred a loss in 1999 of $104 million ($148,000,000 today).[17][18][45] Visiting Lloyd's of London (the world's biggest insurance marketplace) for the first time, rather than finding a modern sophisticated operation with high-speed technology, he saw: "men with big folders walking back and forth, and then waiting in line in a box to place insurance.... Pigeons are faster".[46] Referring to Willis's majestic London headquarters, with monolithic colonnades, sculpted marble angels, and sweeping staircases, Plumeri said: "There are statues and paintings of dead people all over the place. And what good are they?"[18]
"This is exactly the kind of leadership opportunity I've been looking for to focus the next stage of my career," Plumeri decided.[39] His five-year contract provided for an annual base salary of $1 million, guaranteed bonuses of $1 million annually, further incentive bonuses, and stock options for 5.2 million Willis shares at approximately $2.80 per share.[47] Plumeri pledged to his employees that as long as he was CEO, he would not sell a single share of his Willis stock.[29] He said: "Maybe I'd give it to charity, but selling the stock for my own benefit, I think is wrong. I'm supposed to be the chief cheerleader of the company, not only to investors but to my employees, and to exhort them to buy my stock, while I'm selling it, is wrong."[29]
He began his Willis career without much background in insurance brokering.[48] Plumeri admitted, "I don't know what I don't know, so I've asked a lot of questions," but noted that "When you are in virgin territory without any baggage, sometimes that is better because you don't have a sense of what you can't do."[48]
Plumeri did a number of things when he arrived at Willis to change the company's staid culture.[17] To encourage a common identity and unification of purpose among the company's 13,000 employees spread over 100 countries, he had everyone wear Willis lapel pins, reportedly buying more than 33,000 of them, to emphasize that the company was a team.[17][23][29] The Sunday Times reported that once when Plumeri had a breakfast meeting with two of his executives at a New York hotel, he noticed that one was not wearing his Willis lapel pin. The paper described it as "probably a sacking offence".[49] Thinking quickly, the executive responded: "I'm sorry, sir. I must have left it on my pyjamas."[49]
To encourage communication and cooperation, he ordered that all office doors remain open (or had them removed—including the door to his own office; a contrast to the prior chairman, who had his own floor and his own elevator).[23][28][29] He cut down the walls of office cubicles to half-size.[23][28][29] He himself flew about 400,000 miles (640,000 km) a year to meet with people, to help build the company.[28] He also recruited 1,000 new brokers and acquired smaller brokerage firms, especially in markets felt to be critical to long-term success.[17] The CEO of the company's global markets division, Grahame J. Millwater, said: "The sheer dynamism of the individual took us a little bit by surprise. We had a very different management style before."[29]
Plumeri believed that he had to share a vision of a common goal in order to motivate his employees to work together towards something in the future, and to feel excitement and energy.[18] He observed:
Many companies do not articulate to their employees why they are there. You've got to figure out what the home run is. What we are doing here is creating a company whose value grows, and that value is measured by the price of our stock. That's the scoreboard.... Once people understand and buy into the vision, it's amazing what one can do.... If you don't give people a vision, they don't enjoy the trip because they don't know where they are going.[18]
Avoiding cutting the staff he inherited, he instead moved some to what he viewed as better-suited roles.[18]
At Willis, he has been an outspoken supporter of banning contingent commissions, and a vocal advocate of financial transparency.[17][50] He supported regulations to ban contingent commissions, launched a public awareness campaign against them, and made Willis the first company to publicly disavow the practice.[51]
Within several months of his arrival, he announced that he intended to bring the company public.[18] In June 2001, he brought the company back to public ownership in an IPO, and had it listed on the New York Stock Exchange.[27] At the time, its stock price was $13.50.[29] Within two years, by May 2, 2003, it was $31.27, an increase of 132%.[29] On February 27, 2004, it was at $38.35.[18]
For 2002, the company's net income was $210 million.[18] In 2003, it rose to $414 million.[18]
Through February 2007, he had grown the company at an annual rate of 12% per year.[17] In 2008, Plumeri headed Willis' $2.1 billion acquisition of U.S. rival Hilb, Rogal & Hobbs Co. (HRH).[3][30] By August 2008, Willis was worth $4.5 billion.[30] In his first eight years at Willis, the company's net worth doubled, its margins rose from 7% to 32%, and its stock price rose from $3-per-share to $32-per-share.[45]
In 2008, he directed the sale of Willis's landmark London headquarters at 10 Trinity Square, and relocated in May to a modern Willis Building at 51 Lime Street, the fourth-tallest in the City of London.[52][53][54][55] Locals referred to the new headquarters as "Plumeri's Palace".[53][56] The building incorporates Plumeri's "no-doors" policy; a policy which applies to his own office.[57]
In 2009, he struck a deal that led to the 110-story Sears Tower in Chicago, the tallest building in North America, being renamed the Willis Tower, as the company rented 140,000 square feet (13,000 m2) of its office space.[58][59] He and Mayor Richard Daley unveiled a sign with the new name in a ceremony in July.[60][61] Plumeri said: "You can call it anything you want... you can call it the 'Big Willie' for all I care. As a matter of fact, I wish you would."[62]
Plumeri received compensation of $8.1 million in 2007, $19.9 million in 2008, and $10.9 million in 2009 (consisting of a salary of $1 million, bonus of $1.7 million, restricted stock awards of $7.3 million, and other compensation of $.9 million).[7][63] Willis extended his contract in January 2010 until July 7, 2013.[7][64] As of March 2010, Plumeri owned 3.8 million shares of the company, representing 2.3%.[63]
By 2010, Willis had 17,000 employees in 400 offices located in 120 countries.[3][65]
Speaking of his philosophy of life, Plumeri said: "I'm from the school of anything's possible. I'm from the group that says it doesn't matter where you are from, but that it does matter how big you dream."[12]
Post-Willis (2013-present)[edit]
On August 19, 2013, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. LP announced Plumeri's appointment as Senior Advisor.[1]
Plumeri's concurrent board responsibilities outside of Willis have included the boards of Telex Communications (from 2000), Commerce Bancorp (from 2003), the Council on Foreign Relations, and the American Institute for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters.[40][66][67][68] Now he serves on the boards of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, Jackie Robinson Foundation, Carnegie Hall, and the Churchill Centre and Museum at the Cabinet War Rooms in London.[69]
Sports interests[edit]
Plumeri co-owns the Trenton Thunder, a Double-A minor league team affiliated with the New York Yankees (since 2003; following an eight-year affiliation with the Boston Red Sox).[10][70][71][72] The team plays at Samuel J. Plumeri, Sr. Field, the 6,341-seat stadium he named after his father in 1999.[10][19][73][74]
In 2001 he became the co-owner of another New Jersey minor league baseball team, the Lakewood BlueClaws, the Single-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.[71] It is located in Ocean County, on the Jersey Shore.[3][11][75]
He also invested £100,000 towards a minority interest in the Plymouth Argyle Football Club in the United Kingdom, giving him an indirect ownership interest in the club of less than 1%.[63] He was introduced to the team by its chairman Sir Roy Gardner, who is also on the Willis board.[76][77]
Plumeri was commissioner of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority from 1997 to 2004.[3]
In December 2001, he opened a family restaurant named "Plumeri" in TriBeCa with his son Jay.[25][30] In 2010 his son opened a restaurant named "Race Lane" in East Hampton, New York, at the site of what was formerly known as the Laundry and briefly as the Lodge.[78][79][80][81]
"Plumeri Park" is the 1,000-seat baseball facility of the William & Mary Tribe baseball team since 1999, constructed in large part on the basis of a donation by Plumeri in the autumn of 1996.[9] He had it named in honor of his father.[22]
In 2008, he committed $2 million to establish the Plumeri Awards for Faculty Excellence at William & Mary.[82] He also funded the Joseph J. Plumeri Business Scholarship, the Joseph J. Plumeri Endowment Fund for baseball scholarships for the school, and the W&M/Plumeri Pro-Am Golf Tournament.[9]
He funded with a $2 million gift the construction of the "Samuel & Josephine Plumeri Wishing Place", the headquarters of the New Jersey Chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation (named in honor of his parents).[3] It was the largest gift ever to the Foundation, nationwide.[75]
He also contributed $1 million to the College of St. Rose in Albany, New York, for the development of the school's new Christian Plumeri Sports Complex. It was named in honor of his deceased son.[3][83][84][85]
Plumeri is a board member of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University (since 1998), Mount Sinai Medical Center, the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, and Churchill Museum in London.[3][7][86] He is a member of William & Mary's governing Board of Visitors, Business School Advisory Board, and Sir Robert Boyle Society, as well as a lifetime member of the President's Council and a trustee emeritus of the William & Mary Endowment Association.
Plumeri was also the commencement speaker at the College of Saint Rose in 2006, Richard Bland College of the College of William and Mary in 2008, and the College of William and Mary in 2011.[87][88]

Speaking of his son Christian, who died in November 2008 at age 39 from drug addiction, he said: "You deal with it, but it's so difficult. I think about it all the time; think about it every day. You always think about what you could have done differently."[12][93]

The Algarve region
The Algarve region stretches across the southern-most part of Portugal, covering about 100 miles from east to west and about 25 miles from north to south. Its beautiful coastline, incorporating 160km of sandy beaches, together with the dry sunny weather throughout most of the year, make the area a natural
choice for holiday-makers.
Some areas have changed immensely in recent years, responding to the influx of tourists with extensive development in tourist-based activities, while other areas have hardly changed at all. This gives the Algarve a unique mix of old and new and offers something for everyone.
For those who like to get away from it all, there are still long stretches of golden sand which remain undiscovered by the package-tour companies, and many quiet bays to explore. There are also tiny picturesque villages which retain the character and charm of "old" Portugal and the rich Moorish heritage of
the region can often be seen in the buildings - in the whitewashed villas, the chimneys etc.
The climate is perfect for most outdoor activities - eg walking, sightseeing and cycling - and the facilities available for sporting activities are top-class. For golfers, there are something like 37 courses across the Algarve (and indeed the region is widely considered one of Europe's most important golf centres), while for sailors, there are a number of excellent marinas (eg at Vilamoura, Lagos and Portimao). For watersports, too, conditions are ideal and there are numerous centres along the coast offering opportunities for diving, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, game fishing etc.
Other attractions include water parks, a theme park and zoo, boat trips along the coast (with dinghy rides into the caves and some offering the prospect of seeing dolphins), crazy golf, karting, horse-riding and much more.
Armacao de Pera
The glorious sandy beach which stretches from Armacao de Pera to Gale, about two miles to the east, is one of the best in the Algarve and the town is well-established as a popular all-year round holiday destination.
Originally a tiny fishing village, it has grown in recent years through tourism, but the town has managed to neatly blend the new with the old and the eastern part of the town in particular retains much of its original character and charm. Fishing is still an important part of the town's economy - and, every morning, the brightly painted boats of the local fishermen make a colourful scene as they bring home the day's "catch" to the Praia dos Pescadores (Fishermen's Beach).
Not surprisingly, therefore, the town has a number of excellent fish restaurants - taking great pride in serving locally-caught fish of the highest quality.
If you're planning a relaxing, chilled out holiday, the beaches, the sunshine and the splendid variety of places to eat and drink all make Armacao de Pera a perfect place to stay.
However, the town is also ideally located to enable visitors to sample the delights of all that the region has to offer - its splendid sporting facilities, its wonderful wildlife, its rich history and culture etc. So, Armacao de Pera is the perfect base for a more active holiday too.
Nearby attractions (all within 5 km) include :-
- "Zoomarine" at Guia - with spectacular presentations featuring dolphins, sea-lions, birds of prey and offering (for an additional charge) an opportunity to swim with dolphins
- "Aqualand" at Alcantarilha - giant waterpark with flumes and slides etc
- "Slide & Splash" at Lagoa - another (even bigger) waterpark with particularly good facilities for younger children
- Bird sanctuary adjacent to the Salgados golf course to the east of Fishermen's Beach - where the sand dunes, marshes and natural lagoon provide the perfect habitat for a variety of water fowl and other birds (including flamingos at certain times of the year)
- Golf courses - those in the immediate vicinity include 2 recently opened courses, one designed by Nick Faldo and the other by Christy O'Connor junior
- Sand Sculptures at Pera - each year the International Festival of Sand Sculptures is dedicated to a particular theme and brings together 35 sculptors from around the world to create a show that has become the greatest exhibition of sand sculptures in the world
- Algarve Shopping Centre at Guia - while Armacao de Pera has a good variety of shops for most everyday needs, for those requiring a more concentrated dose of retail therapy, the Algarve Shopping Centre is a giant shopping and entertainment complex. It features many of the most popular high-street and designer shops, a hypermarket, a multi-screen cinema and a 12-lane bowling alley.

"A fantastic place to spend the month of February!"
Prior to our departure the owner Wendy was very helpful and prompt at answering any queries that we had. It was obvious that she really wanted us to enjoy our holiday. On arrival we were met by the smiling Karon from Tophats who showed us around the apartment and explained how everything worked. We appreciated the welcome pack as it was late at night and obviously all shops were shut. We found the apartment to be immaculately clean and extreemly well equipped. The outside terrace was great for sunbathing even in February. We will definitely be going back next year. I can honestly say it was the best holiday let we have ever had.

"Lovely, comfortable apartment"
Beautiful apartment with lovely distant water views. Very comfortably appointed and convenient to everything. I would highly recommend this apartment. The owners are very responsive and helpful answering any questions we had prior to leave for Armacao de Pera. It was everything we could have hoped for.

"Lovely time in Armacao de Pera"
This was our second time at this apartment and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Apartment has everything you need and is really like a home from home. The owner Wendy is friendly and helpful and the welcome pack when you arrive is a nice thought. The pool is nice although absolutely freezing!! Only a 5 minute walk to beach and centre of Armacao de Pera which is very relaxing but still with plenty of restaurants and things to do. Hope to come back every year!

"A great holiday"
What a great time we had in Armacao de Pera. We were greeted with a welcome pack when we arrived at the apartment late at night- no need to go to the shop in the morning to get milk and cereal. Lovely touch. The accomodation was spotless, and we made great use of the balcony and the roof top pool. The pool was a bit small and a bit of a squeeze when others are there. Great fish market on the back street, and plenty of restaurants. We would both love to go back some time soon. The owner Wendy was very helpful, and quick to help out with any queries. Anthony & Christine.

A long-awaited selection of fifteen song-lyrics by unpopstar Stanley Bad, including classics like 'Rainbows' and recent reworkings of 'Light-bulb', 'Ashby-de-la-Zouch' and more, sure to delight any fan of whimsy, young or old.
Stanley Bad has been writing and recording songs since the late 80s (under the name Geoffrey Sick). In the early 90s he joined the "A Band" in Nottingham. One of several splinter-groups from this collective was a trio called Pineapple in which Stanley (as Geoffrey) played fretless bass and sang, and for which he wrote several songs. Upon moving back to London in '97, he reverted to the name Stanley Bad. He currently writes songs and plays keyboards and other miscellaneous instruments with Bad Moth, Bad Trout, Das Kosmische Bad, Divine Bran, Stanley Badys Ars Dubiosa, and SBAD (Stanley Bad's Adept Dabs).

Nikon Coolpix P330
Nikon's putting a lot into the Coolpix range of late. The P330 model, which updates the previous P310, isn't a gentle nudge forward in the company's "performance" range, it's a far bigger step up thanks to the P330's inclusion of a larger 1/1.7-inch sensor... >>

Nikon D7100
Cameras are evolving. The Nikon D7100 is testament to that - it not only employs enough top specs to rival even the well-established D300S from Nikon's own range but, and much like the Nikon D800E, has removed the low-pass filter from its imaging equation.... >>
Nikon Coolpix A: The first sample images

Nikon Coolpix P330 finally brings larger sensor size to the P-series

Nikon Coolpix L320 offers 26x super zoom on a budget

Nikon's first APS-C sensor compact camera: Introducing the Nikon Coolpix A
Nikon's only gone and "done a Fuji" by unveiling its first APS-C sensor compact camera: the Nikon Coolpix A. We're rather excited by this small-bodied, large-sensor compact. In Nikon speak, the Coolpix A has the same "DX" sensor size - measuring 23.6... >>
