- Have prices become lower?
Yes. It wasn't an across the board price cut, but rather better cost per content. As always, only aim for events.
- Are we getting more cards per pack?
No, but better CPC as mentioned.
- Has their been a new balancing team in place?
Yes, but same old stuff. They do ninja patch when something is obviously wrong though. Greatest outcries now are OPDillate, meta buncles with chamail + sk2 SS, and some people still think ellie spam + Zu is uncounterable.
- Has the player base grown by any significant margin?
No, but game is stabilizing. Projections of population increase when all game engine and visual revamp finishes then the marketing starts.
- Is Return still a problem for Refeese?
Yes, same with other spheres. But refeese counters with insane SP gen and and longevity making it competitive.

Oh, very stylish! And by the way, thanks for this wonderful blog! It's like a green island in the wide salty ocean of terribly boring fashion blogs.

I love this brilliant outfit! I think it is vital to understand that style does not age - I wonder if British reserve gets in the way of natty dressing sometimes. Nice work!

This guy looks totally badass. One problem I have with hipsters is even when they dress like this, there's something smug about it. And businessmen look like, well, businessmen. But this guy has a look of humility...awesome.

Artist Lecture Series: Benjamin Entner
Co-sponsored by Opalka Gallery and the Department of Art + Design, interdisciplinary artist Benjamin Entner wraps up the first half of the 2014-15 Artist Lecture Series at Sage College of Albany.
Date: Wednesday, November 19th, 2014
Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Opalka Gallery - Albany Campus
Contact: Sean Hovendick, 518-292-1808, email@example.com
Benjamin Entner creates works that are the result of conceptual play and material experimentation. Entner's work actively engages a viewer to intimately react and interact through the use of humour, wonder, and large physical presence. Entner writes, "When I work, I am very conscious of my viewer and, often, I want to make my viewers conscious of themselves. I try to accomplish this by creating a presence of an object or installation that interrupts or intervenes in a viewer's passive viewing of a piece, and forces them to actively experience it."
Entner's current body of work is exploring the boundaries and interplay between two and three dimensional methods of making. Specifically, the point at which a drawing can become form and an object can become representation. These works are made with a keen awareness to art historical precedents and are often a direct reference to or parody of the figurative work of Classical and Renaissance masters.
Benjamin's work has shown nationally and internationally; most recently with exhibitions at the Contemporary Arts Center of Las Vegas, the Soap Factory of Minneapolis, the Kenneth J Minnaert Center of the Arts in Olympia, WA, as well as, SOMA Kunstgeneratorinstitusjon in Bergen, Norway, and the Handwerker Gallery of Ithaca College.

Comments On Dec 26, 2012:This pack basically turns any plastic chest protector into something similar to a zac pack (which I also own). I rode with this pack for about 2 months before one of the plastic buckles broke making the pack useless until I get it fixed. I understand wear and tear but the quality of the plastic buckles is no where near as good as "average' moto buckles or buckles found on a camelbak product. When I first received the pack I was concerned about the buckles and they are a weak point for sure.
Great idea, poor execution due to lack of quality.

I'll give a full spiel Friday, but as you know, we're working on revamping the game ecosystem, which includes the monetization system. It doesn't take a genious to see that needs some re-vamping. Unfortunately, the game as-is doesn't exactly respond too well to changing one part without the others. My 4 years of trying a little here and a little there has led me to believe the best course of action is a more holistic approach, so I will not be doing a drastic change to the shop in the short term (but yes, we will be doing one once more groundwork is laid down). Still, this is Logress here, and those who remember which shop events I was behind know that you can expect more things like Gold Boxes and Packs and Pre-builts and beginner's packs and faction packs, and less things like fifty bucks gets you 1% chance of something great.
It's Friday. What events do we get today?
Mainly what events that DO encourage playing do we get? Treasure battles and 5 of 7 aren't good events. Please offer something better.

Homewood ski resort expansion a controversial topic on Tahoe's west shore
Considering the crowd that has congregated on this busy Monday at Homewood Mountain Resort, Shayne Kline feels lucky to have secured a small table where he and his young son can eat lunch.
Powder days tend to draw a crowd, even on a Monday. And there was certainly powder to be accessed for skiing and snowboarding on this day.
Because his mother owns a home on Lake Tahoe's scenic west shore, Kline has been coming to nearby Homewood for 15 years. He loves the mountain's terrain, the picturesque views of Lake Tahoe (which is literally across the street from the resort) and the abundance of snow that typically paints Homewood white all winter.
However, one of several things Kline doesn't like about Homewood is the outdated, cramped restaurant/bar, where food can be picked up when someone loudly screams – "Number 49, your order is ready!" It's a crude method of picking up food at a cramped facility that doesn't utilize a loudspeaker.
Some may consider this daily occurrence the "charm" of Homewood, while people like Kline are annoyed by the practice and feel it's time for a change. Kline, who lives in Paso Robles, hopes the controversial expansion plan – proposed by the resort's owner, San Francisco-based real estate firm JMA Ventures – earns approval this summer and Homewood makes wholesale improvements to a resort that seemingly needs attention.
"The expansion is a great idea. This resort really needs updating," Kline said. "The owners don't want to make Homewood some mega resort. If they improved it, made it something like Alpine (also owned by JMA Ventures), that would be very exciting.
"They need to do some updating so they can compete with all the other resorts and keep Homewood here. It would be very sad if Homewood were to close someday and just go away."
What some area residents definitely want to see go away is the expansion plan. The multi-million-dollar project includes a base lodge with a 75-room boutique hotel, 99 multi-family condominiums in three buildings, and up to 25,000 square feet of retail space.
Many members of two local groups – Friends of the West Shore and League to Save Lake Tahoe – oppose the expansion, citing traffic implications along two-lane Highway 89 and an overall project that is too comprehensive for the west shore community that prides itself on existing under the radar.
Judi Tornese, a homeowner on the west shore (Tahoma) and Friends of the West Shore board member, says she supports a revitalized Homewood Mountain Resort, but the current project is too large. She's passionate about preserving the area, where some west shore families have owned the same house for four or five generations.
"The proposed project has many firsts," Tornese wrote in an e-mail. "It will be the largest development ever proposed on the west shore; it will have the tallest group of buildings, and the first large parking garage on the west shore. The west shore is unique and treasured by many because of its character, community and rural quality of life. Many residents are concerned that this will be lost forever."
Detractors also are concerned about water implications, and some believe the expansion is more of a real estate venture than a skiing enterprise. Supporters cite positives like creating more jobs and giving people more options to stay and play on the west shore.
David Tirman, executive vice president of JMA Ventures, has been blunt regarding Homewood's future if the expansion plan fails to gain approval. He cites modest numbers – like the average 300 visitors on weekdays – that have to be increased or Homewood might fold like many smaller resorts throughout the United States.
"The proposed Homewood master plan is less about an expansion but more about the redevelopment of the two existing base areas, which today are largely asphalt parking lots and aging day skier facilities," Tirman wrote in an e-mail. "The redevelopment of the Homewood resort is critical to its continued viability as a ski area. Maintaining the status quo as a commuter ski area is not sustainable."
Tirman says the project is a long-term blueprint of how the resort will be incrementally redeveloped over a 10-year period that may take even longer, depending on "the overall health of the economy."
The list of improvements also includes:
* Replacement of two aging chair lifts with new high-speed lifts;
* Replacement of existing parking and day-skier facilities with new facilities and concealed underground, structured parking;
* Pedestrian-oriented neighborhood village at the north base;
* Employee housing on site;
* New mid-mountain day lodge;
* Extensive environmental improvement projects, including new storm water treatment facilities;
* Alternative transportation (water taxi, bicycle bank for summer use) and completion of the regional bike trail through the Homewood resort.
While some residents want the project to fail, that's not the opinion of Ron Parson. The general manager of nearby Granlibakken Resort and Lodge, a fixture on the west shore for more than six decades, gives the Homewood project his full support.
"I have listened to a number of arguments against the project and have not found anything substantive from what are essentially individuals trying to stop anything from changing," Parson said. "The Tahoe Basin desperately needs investment and redevelopment to help sustain and achieve both the environmental improvements and to remain economically viable. Without these improvements, there will be change – atrophy and closure of businesses like Homewood Mountain Resort."
JMA Ventures presented a draft environmental impact statement in February. Final approval of the master plan and certification of the environmental impact report/statement will be made by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and Placer County this summer. If approved, Tirman says construction is anticipated to begin in 2012.

Wonut: New pastry treat making Chicago foodies salivate
Waffle-doughnut hybrid hails from Chicago
Attention foodies: a sweet new delicacy has hit the streets, but you'll have to head to Chicago to get it. Meet the Wonut, a deep-fried waffle covered in sprinkles and other goodies, served donut-style.
The Wonut picked up fascination after the website Thrillist.com posted pictures of the baking, frying and glazing process of the Wonut, leaving mouths watering and foodies rushing to the Windy City. BuzzFeed even wrote a signature ode listacle to the Wonut titled "The 'Wonut' Is Proof That A Benevolent Food God Exists. "
In the past week, according to Topsy , there have been 4,240 tweets about the Wonut, and it's picking up pace.
Chef Alex Hernandez, owner of Waffles Café and creator of the Wonut, formally launched the waffle-doughnut hybrid during the opening of his second restaurant ten days ago.
Since the launch, Hernandez has been swamped with calls from reporters, television shows and fans all over the world, the farthest request coming from London.
There doesn't seem to be enough hours or workers in the day to fulfill all the Wonut requests at his two Waffles Café locations.
Wonuts coming hot off the press are selling out (at $2.25 each) -- the biggest order being 500 Wonuts.
According to the Chicago Tribune , a man from Tennessee stopped by the restaurant after the day's supply of Wonuts had sold out. His offer? One hundred dollars. Hernandez declined the $100, but made a batch.
Chef Hernandez is still catching his breath from the Wonut explosion.
Today, his mother is on a plane to deliver Wonuts for "The Chew."
"We're trying to get enough bodies in here to keep the quality of the product up," he said, noting that the quality of the treat is important to the restaurant.
The restaurant has 4 to 5 chefs who are working on creating the sweet treats around the clock. The chefs, Hernandez noted, are not only making Wonuts, but also working on the full menu.
The restaurant started selling the sugary treat in January, testing them on regulars and asking them for feedback. Since then, he's been perfecting the Wonut recipe, the most popular now being the Mexican chocolate: a chocolate waffle seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, topped with ganache chocolate and candied orange zest. Reading the description is enough to make mouths water.
When it comes to the name Wonut, Hernandez said it was the best name that fit with the brand and sounded best, especially the "w."
Testing Out The 'Wonut'
Jon Schleuss, data and graphics reporter at The Los Angeles Times, who identifies himself as a waffle connoisseur (his Twitter handle,@gaufre , is actually the French word for waffle) whipped up his own Wonuts. His inspiration? The BuzzFeed "food porn piece."
Schleuss used waffle mix (a healthy one, he added) and deep fried it in canola oil and covered it in sugar.
Schleuss said he probably won't head to the Windy City to try the real deal, but if they came to Los Angeles, he would.
"I think it should be called the Wonut-Doffle," he said.
Schleuss may be in luck. Hernandez said they're thinking about expanding to other places, and LA is on the list.
On people making their own Wonuts, Hernandez said he'd probably do the same thing and is planning on making a separate website to ask people for feedback and ideas that perhaps he hasn't thought of.
A Hybrid Donut Craze
Before the Wonut came the Cronut , described as "the croissant-doughnut hybrid" from the Dominiqe Ansel Bakery in New York City. The sweet treat was born on May 10, 2013 and is now trademarked by the bakery.
"The Cronut has brought a lot of great things to the bakery and a lot of challenges as well. It was quite a shock for our one shop bakery to handle, but we're so grateful for all the fans that we've met along the way," said the bakery.
There were over 72 times more searches for "Cronut" than "donut" over the last year, according to Yahoo! Search data. This month, April 2014, searches for "Cronut" outnumbered donut by almost 20 times.
Chicago has been mashing up donut mixes for a while. Endgrain began offering the doughscuit, a half doughnut, half biscuit last fall, shortly after the Cronut craze.
NPR 's Ian Chillag tried the doughscuit in January, which he described as "transcendent, an impossible mix of doughnut-fried sweetness and crumbly biscuitness."
Kat Eng, general manager of the restaurant, Endgrain, said that Chicago has really grasped the donut movement.
"Chicago loves its brunch and has really talented people, so when you have talented people, you have amazing products. And when you have amazing products, people hear about it," Eng said.
Whatever flavor or concoction the people of Chicago whip up, the donut hybrid movement proves one thing -- people really love their donuts. Preferably in a fashion that they can Instagram.

Rolling with Toyo
In the hope that he will live long enough for me to one day look back at this and see how far I've come, I fully intend to prattle about my new fish with no attempt whatsoever to avoid the boring blather of an overexcited new owner!
I will begin by describing his day and a half of life with me so far: Toyo swam into my heart almost from the moment I picked him up, although I didn't really know it at the time. I was considering a fish because it's the only pet my landlord allows, I was considering a betta because I'd heard they were easy to take care of, I'd walked over to the table because one of the other cups had tipped over and was leaking all over. When I picked up his cup, he was the only one that swam around with energy, and when I picked him up the second time, it seemed like he was looking at me.
Half-convinced by the hearsay I'd been given about the ease of betta and them being content in small environments, more freaked out by the idea of a filter--yes, honestly--I initially bought a gallon and a half bowl, along with a rock with a hole in it, betta pellets and tropical flakes, and a wisteria, thinking that would be fine for filtering.
Having already purchased him and not knowing the condition of my tap water, I bought a couple gallons of spring water to fill the bowl. Over the course of an hour or so I fiddled and labored to set up the bowl, take the temperature and began to acclimate him to it by floating him in a Ziploc bag. Looking at him, with the rock and the wisteria in there, I realized that it was not going to be big enough and I'd feel terrible keeping him in that bowl, no matter how pretty it looked.
Fortunately I was able to return the bowl and get a ten gallon tank instead which came with a free filter. It was at that point that I also bought a heater, gravel for the bottom and a sprig of curly bamboo, since I was already realizing the wisteria wasn't going to survive. As low maintenance as they are, I was psyching myself to the point that it would be too much for me. It had partially dried out from its time in the bowl, which was too small for it, I didn't take the time to establish a decent substrate for it, and its leaves had started to turn black by the time I went to bed. I chucked it when I got home from work today.
Looking at that last paragraph, I feel like I'm going to end up killing Toyo from my own ill-timed ignorance! I'm a lot more invested in his survival than I was of the even more thoughtless and impulsive purchase of the wisteria, but I hope the fate of the plant will not be shared by my betta!
Still, I've continued my research, first offering him way too many pellets, which he showed no interest in at all and it was a fun little endeavor to fish all THOSE out, only to learn that pellets will expand in a fish's stomach. And could make them sick! I gave him flakes as well which he did eat, and it was amusing to watch him chase after them as they got pushed around by the filter. Today I bought a packet of frozen blood worms and frozen brine shrimp, which I feel better about anyway. He was such a riot when I put the first cup in. He was looking very intently at me, drifting closer to the glass where I was, and then suddenly he realized something was floating behind him and he darted around and up to investigate.
As of yet he hasn't shown a particular interest in eating, more so in chasing the things floating around and investigating them. I'm thinking if I don't feed him tomorrow, he'll be more more motivated the next day.
I feel kind of bad that he really only has one place to hide, so I might have to swallow my unease about fake plants and find the money to get some tomorrow until I can vest the time in live plants.
I really hope all this swimming he's doing is a good thing, is him interested and engaged in his environment, and not him stressed and unhappy. Only time will tell, but I wish I knew for sure!

Hi Hatchet,
I just wanted to suggest maybe giving the wisteria another try, but leave it floating. It doesn't need to be rooted in the substrate and mine seems quite happy floating at the top. It also provides a good 'betta hammock'. I do notice that it hates being in my other, unfiltered tank (and gets rotty pretty fast) but it's flourishing in the filtered one.
Java fern also is happy to float (I have this in my other tank) and forms a nice 'mat' for the bettas. Or it likes to be tied to a rock or some driftwood, not planted in substrate. So if you wanted some plants immediately, those are good options, and not difficult to keep alive.
Don't worry about his appetite for a while, it's really common for bettas to go off their food in a new environment, even up to a couple of weeks later. Sid took a long time (and a lot of various foods) to start being his greedy self but once he started eating he was a real food monster.
It really is exciting to take up this hobby (I'm a recent betta-keeper, too), and once your guy is really settled, his personality will shine - they're amazing fish, no two the same. Good luck with everything.

You just let it float in the pot it came in, or you undid that and let it do its own thing? I would have liked to keep it and Toyo did seem to like it, I just didn't trust the look of it when I came home, and I'd rather buy another one than let it go bad and poison the tank.
I was considering the java fern, what do you tie it with? Just some fish line? Or will it tether itself given time?
That's good to know about the reduced appetite, thank you for all the advice and suggestions.

My wisteria didn't come in a pot, it was just loose so I let it float. Actually, the roots were icky after a week, so I snapped those off and left the healthy parts of the plants to float. Wisteria can grow from just a little bit of leaf, so maybe you can salvage some of yours. But if you feel better buying a fresh plant, that works too.
The Java fern is secured to the wood with some cotton, which will rot off eventually, hopefully not until the fern's attached itself. Fishing line is a more permanent 'anchor'. It also does well floating free. Though it isn't as pretty as wisteria that way (because of its rhizome fibres), the bettas like the broad leaves to rest on.

Although born in Austria, Italy became the adopted home for Sottsass and his father, a well-respected architect of the rationalist movement (Sottsass always referred to himself as Ettore Sottsass, Jr., in deference to his father). After architecture school in Milan, Sottsass worked at the office of George Nelson in New York before returning to Italy as a design consultant to the Olivetti company. This appointment produced numerous concepts for adding machines, computers, and furniture, culminating with the Olivetti Valentine typewriter (1969) that he designed with Perry King. A cherry-red portable plastic typewriter, it broke away from the office equipment stable. Meant for use in any place but the office, the Valentine supremely embodied Sottsass' constant challenge to the predictable everyday object. Read more >

What is CalWorks?
CalWORKs is the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids program. It provides cash aid, employment services, and other benefits to needy families.
CalWORKs may also be referred to as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), which is the name for the federal program that funds CalWORKs. Some people may simply call CalWORKs "Welfare".
We refer to CalWORKs recipients as receiving cash aid/welfare on our website so as not to confuse cash aid through CalWORKs with financial aid offered by the college.
Who is eligible for CalWORKs?
Eligibility requirements for cash aid/welfare include having dependent children, a low income and other requirements that are described by the HSA.
You may also go here for more general questions about CalWORKs.

The CalWORKs Program at City College is here for CalWORKs cash aid/welfare recipients who have education as their designated Welfare-to-Work activity. We work closely with the HSA and on-campus services to support participants with their academic studies and financial needs.
What is the difference between CalWORKs, EOPS, and CARE?
Both CalWORKS and EOPS are CCSF programs which support low income students.
Eligibility requirements for CalWORKs and EOPs are different. CalWORKs students must be parents or guardians, and they and their children must be receiving cash aid/welfare. They must also have an approved County Welfare to Work Plan, fulfill work participation requirements, and can take both credit and non-credit classes.
CARE is a program for EOPS participants who are on CalWORKs. CARE provides additional resources to this group of students.

Fordham Named Top Fulbright Producer
Back to eNewsroom
Fordham Named Top Fulbright Producer
Fordham Named Top Fulbright Producer
Contact: Joanna Klimaski
(212) 636-7175
October 31, 2013
For the fourth time in the school's history, Fordham University has been named as one of the nation's top producers of Fulbright scholars.
The complete list of top-ranking institutions was announced by the U.S. Department of State, which administers the Fulbright Program, and is highlighted in the Oct. 28 issue of
The Chronicle of Higher Education
This year proved to be a stellar one for Fordham students and the Campion Institute and Office of Prestigious Scholarships, pulling in 12 Fulbright awards and achieving the highest success rate since 2010.
The 12 awards placed Fordham at a four-way tie for No. 14 on a list of a select 41 research institutions to earn double-digit Fulbrights. The University tied with University of California, San Diego, the University of Southern California, and Washington University in St. Louis.
Fordham came in just behind fellow Jesuit school Georgetown University, which had 13 awards. Another Jesuit school, Boston College, came in at No. 8 with 19 awards.
"The students who won Fulbright grants in the 2013-14 competition spent months crafting their applications. Their success is a testament not only to their own hard work, but also to dedication of the faculty members who gave them such a strong academic foundation," said Rebecca Stark-Gendrano, Fulbright Fellowship coordinator.
As of June 26, seven students won English Teaching Assistantships (ETA), three students won research and study grants, and two students won the relatively new Public Policy Fellowship. The 12 winners came from a pool of 43 applicants, for a yield rate of 26 percent.
Fordham's 2010 achievement of 13 Fulbright winners had placed the University at No. 18 on The Chronicle's annual list—up from No. 28 the previous year.
Nationally, 1,820 students, artists, and young professionals were selected from more than 9,000 applicants. Their Fulbright grants, which begin this fall, will send them to over 140 countries throughout the world to study, teach English, and conduct research.
The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government's flagship international educational exchange program. Since its inception in 1946, the program has provided more than 325,000 participants—chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential—with the opportunity to exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
Fordham's winners of 2013-14 Fulbrights are:
Asmaa Awad-Farid
, GSE '13, ETA to Israel;
Lucy Barnhouse
, GSAS '16, to Germany for her project, "Hospitals as Religious Institutions and the Medieval Treatment of Leprosy: Mainz, 1244-1";
Matthew Briel
, GSAS '15, to Austria for his project, "Bridging East and West: Gennadios Scholarios on Providence and Human Freedom";
Jayson Browder
, PCS '13, ETA to Turkey;
Anne Buckel
, FCRH '13, ETA to Vietnam;
Sean Cox
, GSAS '13, a Public Policy Fellowship in Guatemala's Ministry of Agriculture;

, FCRH '13, ETA to Morocco;

In addition,

, FCRH '12, GSE '13 received an ETA to Austria under the auspices of the Fulbright program and the Austrian-American Educational Commission.
One student was also named as Fulbright alternate:
Evangelos Razis
, FCLC '13, to Singapore for his research project, "Politics of Financial Speculation: A Case Study of Singapore's Housing Markets."

The OGS(Original Grandparents)
I found the most charming and amazing website today. The OGS (Original Grandparents) is a site full of stories and wisdom from Harry and Barbara Cooper, a couple married for 73 years.The Coopers' grandchildren share these stories through videos and stories posted on their blog. They write, "Barbara and Harry are a nice Jewish couple, married for 73 years, who've moved back to the old neighborhood, to L.A.'s first retirement community, Hollenbeck Palms. Of course, Boyle Heights has changed a bit since Barbara dubbed it "a Jewish Tijuana," circa 1930! Barbara is a social butterfly and problem solver, Harry is a self-taught Zen master with a yen for science and exploration. We've enjoyed the wit, wisdom and weirdness of our grandparents for our whole lives, and think it's high time the rest of the world got a chance. The OGs blog promises all Barbara and Harry, all the time. Tune in for a daily dose. (OGs stands for Original Grandparents.)
I feel very close to these two, as they remind me of my own grandparents Bluma and Jacob who were always so full of life and love. Bluma always laughed at Jacob's jokes and Jacob would never leave the room without giving his beautiful wife a big kiss. As they got older they became separated because they could no longer take care of themselves. My mom and I would bring Bluma to see Jacob in his nursing home and they would hold hands and smile at one another for hours. Barbara and Harry are so lucky to have found a place where they can live together and get the care that they need. Read about their move into a new retirement community HERE .
Their spirit and and the spirit of my grandparents reminded of a saying from one of Fanny Karsts dresses,"Let's Begin At the end." Growing older can bring new beginnings. Lets share the stories and wisdom of our elders and keep their spirit alive. If you have any great clips of your own very special grandparents and can upload them to YouTube, I'd love to share a few here. Email me links to email@example.com !

I have to admit, I'm always a bit jealous of anyone who had a relationship with their grandparents. Grammie & Grandpa Russell lived in New Hampshire and when I was young Grammie got a brain tumor that they said started as skin cancer. Grandpa developed Alzheimers. My most vivid memory - well, my dad had a brother, Dana, who died in a bike riding accident when he was 13. (I believe a car hit him.) I was ten and my hair recently cut short - up until then it had been down to my butt. Grandpa took one look at me and called me Dana. I cried so hard because Grandpa Russell thought his granddaughter was his dead son.
As for mom's side - well, Grandpa Pavlick died in 1971 because he was a smoker. I wasn't born until 1976. I don't even have a picture of him. He's just a big blank.
Grandma Pavlick lived in Illinois but spent the worse part of the winter out here in California. At the time I hated it because I always had to give up my bedroom for her. Three whole months sleeping on a spare bed in my parent's room.
But I do have a lot of good memories of her. If she was alive you'd so have a ton of pictures of her! Grandma was a very stylish woman. She never went outside without makeup and jewelery. I remember watching her apply her rouge. In fact, I remember how we'd go out to buy her rouge - back when Woolworth's was still in business.
We'd go in and have to look through this big bin of little black tins. I believe the brand was called La Petite and it had three gold flowers on the lid. Grandma had dark hair and dark eyes so she always got a dark red. (She'd let me have the nearly empty tins but as I'm so fair I looked like a clown no matter how much I rubbed it in.)
Every now and again I try to find if that rouge still exists. I'd have to get it in my shade, but I'd probably use it all the time if I could find it.
I have to say - I wouldn't trade my parents for the world, but I sure wish I at least had a picture of Grandpa Pavlick.
So those of you who have/had a chance to know your grandparents, you're so blessed.

The Racial Justice Act is back. The bill passed one chamber of the North Carolina General Assembly last year, but did not make it to a floor vote.
The Racial Justice Act simply provides that, "No person shall be subject to or given a sentence of death, or shall be executed pursuant to any judgment that was sought or obtained on the basis of race." One would think that the law already provided such protections, but one would be wrong. Read more

A guard dog is being credited with scaring off a group of armed robbers from a Colorado Springs home Wednesday morning.
It happened at a house on Cucharras Street, near Highway 24 and West Colorado Avenue just before 4 a.m.
The homeowner told police he heard a loud noise in the kitchen and was confronted by one of the suspects, who pointed a gun in his face. That's when the man's dog started barking and distracted the suspects.
Police tell 11 News the suspects took off in a full size Chevy truck. The homeowner was able to describe two of the three people. the first suspect is a man, about 6 feet tall and weighing about 180 pounds. The second suspect is described as a woman, also about 6 feet tall and about 35 years old.
No one was hurt and nothing was stolen from the house.

Many movies are easily forgotten. But some, such as The Lives of Others (originally released in German as Das Leben der Anderen), leave me in a state of quiet astonishment that lingers for a long time. I saw this award-winning work one year ago when it was presented by the Kalamazoo Film Society and I still can't forget it. Yes, it's that good.
Set in Germany shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall, The Lives of Others concerns a playwright and his actor girlfriend and the Stasi agent assigned to conduct surveillance of the couple. You couldn't find two men more different than these: the passionate artist who has managed to live a full life within the constraints of the Communist system, and the Stasi agent who has no life of his own.
This will be no typical surveillance assignment. As the agent listens in on the playwright and his girlfriend, his life begins to change, a sort of familiarity-bred contempt in reverse that affects the agent's life and his allegiances and that eventually propels everyone past a point of no return.
A beautiful story that is superbly acted and directed, The Lives of Others is a movie you won't forget.

He was a man who

He loved legislating.
And he defined his legacy very

Congress to do.
I will go into class, and
sometimes I will have a
perspective that I've had
in my head on a subject.
And I've had many moments when
students have changed that.
They've just seen the argument
very differently, and they've
challenged me.
JACK MARZULI: Professor
Zelizer is very
connected to politics.
And before I even started
taking the
class, I Googled him.
And you immediately get 10s
and 10s of hits of him in
relevant modern political
EMILY CARTER: Five years ago,
I decided I was going to my
entire research program
to work on
problems related to energy.
I felt that my expertise in
developing and applying
quantum mechanics-based methods
could, in fact, be
reoriented to the planet to
a sustainable future.
There has to be a huge effort in
research into moving onto a
sustainable path.
There's an amazing number
of opportunities for
undergraduate research in energy
and the environment.
I'm researching magnesium
They are an alternative to
lithium ion batteries.
There's so much more magnesium,
it's about four
times more abundant than lithium
in the Earth's crust.
All right, great.
JEFF NUNOKAWA: My role at
Rockefeller college is to be
incredibly lucky recipient of
some of the best intellectual
energy and social joy
that I've ever been

We have students who are
extraordinarily acute and
generous socially.
We have students who are
extraordinarily acute and
generous in more measurable,

I like teaching Victorian
literature because I think it
helps us understand a little
bit about how much our
inexhaustible faith in the idea
of romance, how rooted
this is in the novels of
an earlier century.

Major airlines are scrapping flights in and out of the New York area ahead of the second significant storm in little more than a week.
United, the world's largest airline, is suspending most service in New York starting at noon Wednesday due to a winter storm forecast for the region. It warns that bad weather will likely cause more delays and cancellations throughout the Northeast.
American Airlines is shutting down in New York at 3 p.m. Wednesday. It's also stopping flights to and from Philadelphia at noon.
Most other airlines, including Delta Air Lines Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corp., are asking passengers to reschedule their Northeast flights for a later date. They're waiving the usual change fees of up to $150.
Superstorm Sandy last week led to about 24,000 flight cancellations.

Sage Accountants Club price increase.
Sage have increased my accountants club membership from £645 to £800 (Line 50 - 10 cos, Payroll - 50 Cos). A bit steep. I don't want all the new "benefits" they are offering.
If I resign they make me remove the payroll!
Sage price increase
Having come back into practice after being out for a number of years I must say I find sage incredibly unuser friendly. The lack of exportability to Excel and inability to drill down (unlike quickbooks) seems to a real challenge. Added to that the lack of a decent odbc link without paying serious sums of money seems a bit much. Does anyone give good customer service nowaday
Sage Price Increase
-- Complete Book-Keeping Ltd
Have been informed of the price increases coming into effect from 1st October - not sure what the increase will be yet but get in quick if need an upgrade.
happy to quote: [email protected]
Why am I not surprised?
It does not surprise me in the slightest. One of the reasons I no longer use Sage. There are just so many other systems out there many of which are certainly on a par if not better and usually at far better rates.
They continue to stuff the software with new useless features to justify their ongoing price increases. That is Sage all over.
I would just tell them to forget it and try something else but I know it is easier said than done :(
No change
I have Sage Priority Link and the price has stayed the same from last year.
same last year
Sage did same to me last yr - I decided accnts club/payroll not worth it. Looked into various payroll systems and went for Payroll Manager by Moneysoft, and no regrets - all for about the price of your increase. Unless you use some of sage payrolls fancy/advanced items, and you think accnts club (this should be free) is of value, then move. The data import was straightforward and it does everything we need for about 50 payrolls.
"unuser friendly" - shouldn't it be "user unfriendly"?
Sage Accountants Club
I dropped membership of the club recently, I was number 35. One to the first to join, so dropping the club was a bit of a wrench. But so far, I have had no regrets. It's too dear nowadays and the only support calls I ever made were to try to get the software to work properly because of their bugs, I am more than capable of working out how to use it.
I have been moving my clients away from Sage wherever possible partly due to the removal of my multi-company licence (held from around 1995), and also because the bulky, cumbersome, not user friendly package that is not at all the Sage I once knew and loved - up to version 12, not after that!!
I think Sage is now too expensive for what it is, and having moved, I don't think it is the best software for small businesses any more. Yes, others work better, faster and are less expensive too.
Maybe someone in the forum could convince me otherwise? I actually joined this discussion group to see whether maybe I'm wrong in what I think nowadays, but reading the threads, it does seem not.
I have told Sage what I think but I'm not sure they care!! This is very, very sad!
But if anyone could convince me that I am wrong, I would be prepared to listen. I do want to give my clients the best advice I can.
Anne Marie
I have to totally agree with you I am afraid. I think you did 100% the right thing and I doubt that you will regret it. Good for you!
Which alternatives to Sage?
I sell and support Sage 50 products, but I'am always interested in anything that could offer clients a faster, less expensive or more suitable accounts system. Could Ann Marie say which packages she has moved client to. Most of our clients are 2 - 4 users, 40-80k individual transactions per year.
VT Transaction
VT Transaction for me. Although for multiple users it may not be suitable although I do beleive that this is being worked on via a third party mod but not entirely sure.
The main problem with VT is that only one user can be logged on at any one time.
It does not cater for stock control either.
Sage Accountants Club
To respond, currently I have been moving to QuickBooks, which so far has worked really well for the clients that have changed and for my own accounts. I personally think it's brilliant, so easy and intuitive. Nowadays though I work for smaller businesses only needing to have one user working at a time. It looks as though QuickBooks would work well with more users, but I have not yet had experience of this. I am not planning to exclude other packages, as I get the opportunity and the time, I will investigate more.
Sage can't win
The above comments show you can't please everyone. On the one hand it is lacking in features and on the other it's bloated and used to be more friendly till they kept adding all these extra features.
can only assume the person saying it's hard to export to Excel is using an old version as the export button is there at the top of every report since V13/2007, letting you choose PDF, CSV, Excel, etc, or you have the somewhat clunky ODBC link or Excel add-in.
As for Sage "caring" that a user has defected, every change they make is to try and get more customers while continuing to get money out of existing ones by tempting them with new features and so maximize profit. Of course to keep the old customers they have to leave the old features but as long as there are products out there which people prefer, Sage are going to try to match them, which is where it can get bloated/"feature rich" (delete as appropriate). It's not the cheapest, but if Sage thought by cutting its prices, by 5% it would get 1% more revenue and profit, it would. Ditto for price increases - that's business.
For many in this group, you have to decide not only what to use for your own accounts, but also make recommendations to clients. I'd say you can still support your Sage clients without membership of the Accountants Club so look at yourself and each client and don't blindly recommend or write off any product. They all have good and bad (Sage included) and price is one of many factors. Great if you've found something better for you, but no product suits everyone.
Export to xls
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but if I export a report to xls I find the formatting is terrible.
Merged cells, data in different columns, etc. This makes it impossible to sort without doing lengthy reformatting first.
Am I the only one who has this problem?
PS. The add-on in excel doesn't work on our system (it 'clashed' with some other software), so was removed. As we have so few clients on Sage now it wasn't worth sorting out the software conflict and we rely on exporting.
Sage formatting in Excell
I agree 100%. The formatting in Excel is a disaster. Quickbooks works like a dream. How Sage became the market leaders I do not know!
You guys have got to explain this one to me
I run the TurboCASH Accounting project. We are open source and our product is free to download. Consultants are free to use TurboCASH, install it or sell it to their cleints and keep all the revenue.
Don't get me wrong, I admire Sage as a competitor, without them I wouldn't have a business or a user base that grows at 30% per year. But how in the world do they get you , their greatest supporters to pay them 800 pounds a year to promote their software? Surely you mean they pay you?

Formatting Sage data in Excel
Our product, DBSage, is a report writer for Sage in Excel. It derives all its data from the Sage database such that new accounts / departments are taken care of. It also uses Excel styles to automatically format the data. So you get a report that needs no tinkering so reducing the manual intervention to a minimum allowing you to focus on more value adding activities.
If you are interested in an on-line demonstration, please call me on 07776 307 037 or visit http://www.pendragonsystems.com/sage.htm for more information.

Excel Reporting
If anyone wants Sage reports in Excel - you have to see Optegra's applications.
Extremely simple, press 2 buttons in Excel for a pivot table TB prepared for you in under 10 seconds and the same for a 20 page management accounts pack in under 20 seconds. It really is that simple!
No technical IT knowledge required such as ODBC, VBA and with reporting on an unlimited number of Sage clients for as little as £250.
I guarantee anyone could use it!
If you are interested, send me an email [email protected] to arrange a 5 minute web demo.
Optegra Financial Ltd
Meanwhile back at the ranch...
The topic seems to have flowed off message.
I would like to ask if Quick Books, or any other provider for that matter, offer anything like Ssage with the Accountants Club type of packages. If so, what do you get for it?
With regrd to Excel, exporting reports does exactly that, the report appears the same but in excel. You will need to use ODBC or Excel Integrated Reporting. However, I was told recently by support that EIR "doesn't really work" It can be slow when you get into it, depending on your set up.
Look forward to the response and sorry I don't have anything to sell.
QuickBooks problems
I'm not sure about your dreams but QuickBooks has problems exporting to Excel with data from earlier versions of QuickBooks. For some reason the data is taken from a US format which results in dates of MM/DD/YY and if DD is more than 12 the data is held as text. The other dates are wrong too but they come across as valid dates - for example: 2 January 2010 becomes 1 February 2010. Whenever I phone Intuit none of the technical support people knew about the problem and said it was a problem with my regional settings. It was only when I went to a meeting of QuickBooks users that all the accountants who had been using QuickBooks for a long time knew about the problem. It seems that employees of accountancy software companies are so transient that they understand their software less than the users. There's no way of overcoming the problem because the dates are held deep within the program. I would assume that early versions of the software held the dates in US format and simply converted the dates to display in the program.
What Intuit needs to do is to have the inclination to check for this issue and reset the dates to UK format.
"how in the world do they get you , their greatest supporters to pay them 800 pounds a year to promote their software? Surely you mean they pay you?"
What makes you think I pay Sage to promote their software? If a new client uses Sage Accounts and wants to keep using Sage I'd provide a pretty poor service if I didn't have Sage Accounts.
I don't have a problem with Sage Payroll.
Given the use I make of Sage software I am quite happy with the price I pay for the software and support I need.
I don't promote any software other than recommend whatever software I feel is best for the job taken into account various issues such as cost.
Intuit offer their top of the range software plus other software to sell.
I've recently stopped being a member of Access Accounting as well as stopped recommending MYOB and MS Office Accounting.
I would choose between QuickBooks, Iris/Free Agent and - lastly - Sage when recommending software.
Sage export files
I would never consider using Sage export to Excel, but I do use export to csv quite a lot.
If you put the design work into an Excel template (hiding columns, formatting, formulas if they're to the right of the data range ) you can export to csv, open the csv and copy paste special values to your Excel template.
Basic, but it works fine for me!

Sage Export
Or just open the csv straight into Excel.
I have clients who use Sage extensively. Most have a reasonably large number of transactions and are multi user. Sage works fine - not perfect but quite adequate. They use Excel based management accounts reporting. Takes no time at all to get the info in (such as the TB).
Long since ceased to be a member of the Club but get offered reasonable upgrade prices every so often. So just pay low hundreds every 4 years or so (I only feel the need to be at the same version or one higher than the clients). Have been squeezed on the number of companies I can hold as live data at any one time though.
Mind you I do not do payroll so that might colour my judgement
Sage accountants club and Excel reporting
If you use excel 2010 and 2007 . Use the add in tab to insert your reports you can design them in sage and put them into my reports as many as you like and open them directly from excel . You can insert as many companies as you like . Version 2011 has also dealt with many of the format issues when you just want to export from preview. We use it all the time to provide various reports, so I am not sure where the problem lies as someone else said maybe their software is out of date and their using office excel 2003 . We are using Sage 2011 and Excel 2010 and they work really well together.
I personally think there has been major improvements in user ability and plenty of drill downs. I notice people have mention quickbooks but there is lots it is not capable of doing also , you need to judge my each client. My clients love the communication tab for chasing their debtors , the purchase ordering , project costing and stock . I think sage accountants club is worth the money , I ring them up all the time to try and do things better . Also all my clients think their payroll is excellent, and would not change.
If we are comparing products then I think it needs to be on new software and not software that is out of date. These softwares have made major improvements in the last couple of years.

Price Increase
The day after I paid our annual client manager Invoice I received a phone call from sage to say the price had increased since the date on the invoice by £150 but that they could do me a deal by charging me only £100 extra!
I was outraged by this stunt considering we had been loyal sage customers for many years and told them where to put their increase and demanded the money we had paid back. Cheque duly arrived.
Obviously they don't value our business and that of our clients.

Sage Price Increase explained Pigeons and Statues!
Having worked in the software industry for the last 20 years I have seen this direction taken by software companies all too often. The simple answer is new business is very difficult to obtain with the current financial climate. So how does a software company who have share holders or who are owned by a parent company from the US cracking the whip find extra profit margin? Simple, pillage the current users for more revenue.
Cloak this increase in extra functionality added to the product or upgrade the version. Some people may feel it is too late. They are using the software, they are committed and change of product would be too much hassle. Companies like Sage prey on lethargic end users who will stick with it because it's too difficult to make the change to something else, or like accountants club members who would be reluctant to make a change because their business is now based on their product and probably has been for years.
This situation goes back to the old adage that some people are statues and some people are pigeons and without putting to finer point on it you know what pigeons do on statues. Vote with your feet don't let them win There are many new products out there which are more superior in many ways especially, in the SaaS market of new breed software. Perhaps it's time to send the message we are not statues to be dumped on.
We have a SaaS payroll which is gathering great interest from accountants and end users. We are only as good as our customer service, our customers are not tied in by contracts, so if we don't perform the client makes the decision to change without thinking "I have paid for the software and must keep it". There are no upfront costs to become a Partner and you have your own branded payroll to boot. We have a Sage 50 link that allows you and your clients to seamlessly import pay data. Our price includes support and costs less than a £1 per month per employee. But there are many others like us out there in the market place that have something to offer you if you just take the time to scrape off what Sage dump on you every year and find a software partner who values you and you business.

" So how does a software company who have share holders or who are owned by a parent company from the US cracking the whip find extra profit margin?"
Neil, I find this comment a little strange, Sage isn't, nor has it ever been, owned by a parent company from the US...
Or not and
<<<" So how does a software company who have share holders or who are owned by a parent company from the US cracking the whip find extra profit margin?"

Sage have shareholders - see the "or" rather than an "and"
I know they have shareholders (I'm one of them) I just couldn't see any reason at all for the mention of a US parent company in a thread about Sage...
@Peter & John
Sorry gentlemen it was a side swipe at the biggest competitor of Sage in the SME market in the UK who do have a US Parent company probably should have explained a little better. Sage are not alone in this practice of taking as much from their client base as they can. I just wish they and other companies like them would value the strength of their brand is down to those committed to using the product and not keep taking from them when times are hard.
We have not increased our pricing for four years and we value our end users and Partner base which is now in the thousands I'm sure we are not perfect but we strive to keep our costs sensible and continue to add functionality where relevant without extra cost to our clients they are the people who make us successful.
But thanks for taking the time to point it out.
Neil Seekings
Great way to promote your product Lethargic end users
i use sage , and I also spend a of lot of time training and learning new things . I use both Apple and Microsoft and I am definitely not lethargic as I am sure most people on this website or not . The fact they go onto this website means there interested in keeping up to date.
Throwing insults at people who use a product is not great selling point. Since you sell another piece of Software why don't you set up a group like the sage group and we can then have a look. I think that would be far more constructive. There one for quickbooks so theres nothing to stop you.
- Kind Regards Sarah@ Douglas Accountancy & Bookkeeping Services, Glasgow
lethargic end users
Thank you for your comment however pointed. lethargic end users is not my opinion but it is the hope of many of the larger software houses that their clients become lethargic and wont change their product because they have had their prices increased for the purpose of nothing more than gaining extra revenue in hard times. As you said users of this site are interested in new things and therefore i was providing an alternative product vendor view. Sorry if this information offends you but thank you for your comment.
Neil Seekings
Neil Thankyou for your reply
Thank you for your reply , but I do still feel it reads as if that is your view which is maybe not what you meant . There are things Sage do and do very well . The payroll did win the software satisfaction awards this year. I was also trying to suggest , and maybe it did not come across , that if you have a good product then I don t feel trying to encourage people to use it on thread like this works. and that maybe you should set up a group of Alternative software , there is one for example on quickbooks and excel

Several PY74 grades with different particle sizes are available. Grades with finer particle size are more brilliant and transparent. Pigment PY74 ranges from reddish yellow to greenish yellow, with temperature shifts from cool to warm hues. It has high tinting strength and average to slow drying time.
This Hansa Yellow has better lightfastness that other yellow monoazo pigments, particularly in the darker shades.
Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.
