By now I had been on the block of the Jewish zugangi for a whole week. During this entire period I doubt that I had managed to get even as much as two bowls of soup for lunch. As soon as I would get close to the soup can I would be pushed away brutally. Those who were stronger took my portion. When I tried to object I was hit over the head with my own bowl. In the block with me was a young beautiful girl from Bialystok named Karola. Every crumb of bread that she could get hold of, and every spoonful of soup she could grab she shared with me. If not for her I doubt whether I would have survived the hard lot of a zugang.
January 1944 was unusually cold. The stars were still glittering in the frosty sky when they chased us out to the front of the block for roll call. As the cliché would have it, "the stars winked at us happily." I trembled from cold in my long, black silk dress dotted with holes. To me the stars looked vengeful and pitiless. They lined us up in ranks of five. Every row had to be straight and was formed according to height, from tallest to shortest. The poor old women did not understand what those crazed blokowe required of them. Without scruple, young, well-dressed, well-fed women beat the faces of women old enough to be their mothers. Standing in front of the ranks of taut women, the sztubowa shouted, "Achtung!" which brought out the blokowa. She was a young, Jewish girl from Slovakia, about twenty years of age, beautiful, elegant, and slightly pink from sleep and frost. She was beautifully dressed. I remember that she had on a blue rain cape with a hood which was tossed over her winter coat. It seemed to me at the time that she was unusually beautiful, almost an unearthly being. She floated through the rows of taut bodies with dignity. Apparently she liked the way we stood, because she stood aside without saying a word. We had to wait a long time for the SS men to appear so that we could have a proper roll call that would ascertain that not even one prisoner might be hiding and that all the prisoners were standing there ready to welcome the angel of death.

Hi Bob,
I have a very significant drainage issue in my backyard which finally was corrected, however this correction has led to standing water on my front sidewalk which is stagnate and growing algae and is now a hazardous situation. I'm being informed that drywells and french drains won't really help the issue due to the large amounts of water involved, but I was wondering if it is possible to get a large (500 gallon drywell) and have it equipped to then become a sprinkler system that could spread this water out throughout my front yard where it could water my lawn and garden?? Is there anything out there that you know of? I've googled it and haven't found a good solution. My topsoil is very shallow (couple inches at best) followed by a large layer of clay which doesn't support a good seepage of this water. My property is 60 x 120 and prior to my current drainage solution, the back used to be under water (enough to have ducks swim)from March through late July and covered approximately 1/3rd of the property. The Village of Hanover park is telling me their hands are tied and issuing me warning citations about the front, even though when the system was installed it was within their Village codes. I want something that will actually be a solution. I don't want something that will give another neighbor a problem, or be a safety hazard. This problem occurred as a result of others in the neighborhood blocking the natural easement flow by adding dirt and structures in their backyards without permits. Unfortunately the Village informs me that they can't do anything about it. Essentially, I'm being penalized for following Village ordinances and they are suggesting corrections that they admit will not solve the problem. Can you please help??

Western Digital MyBook live I can download files within my local area network with a speed of 25 MB /s. But when I download a file using FTP over the Internet begins with 10kb /s. Does anybody have an idea of what the difficulty is?
Western Digital MyBook live I can download files within my local area network with a speed of 25 MB /s. But when I download a file using FTP over the Internet begins with 10kb /s. Does anybody have an idea of what the difficulty is?
Maybe you should endeavor to contact WD Technical Support about this. You be capable of do this either by phone or email.
Try this
Code:wget ftp://22.214.171.124 --2011-03-22 18:09:16-- ftp://220.127.116.11/speedtest/100mb.bin => `100mb.bin' Connecting to 184.108.40.206... connected. Logging in as anonymous ... The server refuses login. Retrying
I have tried several places and did not help. Also bought a new router because the old one had some problems with other things. But the connection is reduced to a few bytes per second. Ports are open; do not really know what to do.
I HAVE the same router as you - Netgear WDNR3700 - works perfectly. Only I did not like the default firmware (which is basically very unstable and even without ssh access to the router), so I installed DD-WRT (which probably broke the warranty), but I do not care).
Code:root@router:~# uptime 19:23:40 up 104 days, 21:24, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
MBL RMA'd my first color of the LED burned so this is my second unit, and as in my original it also suffers the same problem with slow downloads ftp wan, 5-7 KB / s. I tried another ftp server on my network and the top of my upload speed lines, 750/800KB/s .Transfers within my local network is fine.Ports have been sent and have tried a few things, but without success. This must be some kind of integration problem vsftpd system performance or perhaps a version error. Please see this working document. Also the configuration page of the FTP server desires more options in the My Book Live is not just a box to allow / dis allow what seems poor.
When you upgrade to firmware version 2.00.35 I tried some remote FTP transfers to see if my problem was resolved low speed and that he had been. A few days later a new update was out, version 1.2.06, I upgraded my MBL and for some cause at the moment my transfer rate has been sluggish remote FTP, again, not as slow as the firmware v1.XX but slow.
I thought it might be a bug in the latest update and tried to downgrade to the previous version but it wont let me get an error invalid file or something. EDIT> Ok, after more evidence of what appears to be a random thing like where you can start FTP transfers 04.03 saturate my load, 98KB / s with QoS off. You are able to then cancel and decide other transfer files 3 / 4 and the speed is extremely slow, maybe 19KB / s .It must be something still wrong.

Liverpool Message Board
Team to face Newcastle?
I'm going to assume that Glen is not fit, its uncertain whether he will recover for Sunday, Pepe seems to be ok though having made the bench for the weekend. Huge game here against last seasons pretenders to the the top 4, properly dangerous forwards and a knack of scoring goals without being in control of matches. This is a real benchmark to see if we can improve on last season or not. With the table lining up as it is, a win could make good movement for us with a first visit of the campaign to the top half being the likely reward, we certainly dont want to be drifting out of the the second batch of teams.
Subs: Jones, Shelvey, Suso, Coates, Carragher, Henderson, Yesil
It's quite likely that Suso will start ahead of Suarez but I quite fancied Assaidi's pace for this one, an impact sub could well be his role.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
The results today mean that we have a big opportunity to stay in touch with the Euro places if we can beat the Toon.
We've got a good record against them at home so I am strangely confident! 2-1 Pool.
Come on the reds.
Quite obviously, I meant Suso start ahead of Assaidi, not Suarez! Please Suarez, dont kick anyone, you will miss the Chelsea game. I think it is reccomended to get the yellow in that game and sit out Wigan at home, lets be honest, he will be picking that card up at some point!
- 2 Replies to Hobitez
Hey Hobbs
Personally I'd rather have him for the Wigan game. We have more of a realistic chance of winning that one and need to pick up 3 points against our rivals - Chelsea certainly aren't that this season.
yeah Suarez is on eggshells now.
For me ths game is a must win. We would swap places with Newcastle and possibly go 10th if Swansea lose to Chelsea. Lose it and we could go as low as 16th and will be losing touch.
It's a scary one.
maybe Shelvey in for Sahin to add some steel?
Assaidi? Why not, he'll certainly have a go and give Newcastle something to think about.
Finally does Reina really deserve his place back? Jones has done alright when played behind our strongest back 4

In our company we have a huge project with lots of tables. When I mean a lot it is about 500. Maybe it is something normal. Some of these tables have more than 200 fields. I find that trying to make an E-R Diagram for the whole system will be confusing, tiring and useless. Just including the tables would result in a frightening list of boxes. Not to mention the relations that will flow like spaguetti.
How do you document those projects? Is there any technique for divide and conquer the structure of a project?
By the way we use Microsoft Visio and our servers run Oracle.
Update: As everybody said we all agree that a 500-table ERD will be useless and needs to be broken up in pieces. The method of grouping tables in sub-diagrams is something much more interesting. How many tables are too much? What If I can't find clear routes for the relations? Is there any strategy or heuristic that may help?

The Sartorial Summer Challenge — Seersucker
Would you wear a seersucker suit?
The sweetie, who is of Mexican ancestry, has one in blue and cream, bought at Rubensteins, one of New Orleans' oldest department stores, founded in 1924. He wears it with classic white suede bucks, cream socks, a white shirt and light-colored tie. It looks great. I love the confidence it takes to wear this classic, southern, American style.
He last wore it on June 21 to honor a venerable New York Times tradition (where he works) — seersucker day. He got some funny looks on the commuter train, but a few nods and thumbs-up.
Here's some advice how…

LOL anime styrotypes!
ACK for the love of god...
The ONLY funny part of this was when kenstar rips whats his faces arm off and theres two bones sticking through his shoulder. Funny, because that was the ONLY serious part in the flash, and I wasnt even expecting anything serious figuring how annoying everyones voices were. Im with soullesswanderer on this... Im giving this a bad score because it's nearly impossibly to watch all the way through without getting a hearing aid afterwards.
The comedy isnt comedy, its basically a likening to drunken viewers in the hope they actually start laughing and cant stop, then give it a 10/10 and 5/5 because they dont remember anything but laughing. Or to the random fanboy who rates anything egoraptor a instant 5...
Cmon, seriously, you guys can do better, I ALMOST skipped this movie when that one dude finally got his arm ripped off. The jokes are overdone, the voices HAD to be forced at gunpoint (Or you guys were on some serious ****), and its length is unbearible to the persons NOT wanting to sit through 5 people shouting slowly what they plan to do in frames that were pretty much copied from each other with hardly anything added...
Sorry. This is a bad flash. But 1 to the guy without an arm.
that is so true about anime. makes no sense and you cant acually tell what they're saying
I honestly find this series annoying. I couldn't finish either episode, because the voices drove me crazy. This isn't me giving a bad review, because I'm a stupid blammer. This is me giving a bad review, because I honestly think that this is a bad series. I realize that satires and parodies are supposed to be funny, which is why your Awesome series does so well (which I actually enjoy), but even some parodies have the ability to not be funny. I got all the jokes about generic anime plot devices from the stuff I DID watch, but I still didn't laugh that much. I have nothing personal against you, but it seems to me that this got such a good score, because it has the name Egoraptor on it. I think that this wouldn't have done as well if you were to post the exact same thing at the beginning of your flash career. And now I await the fanboys, to say how useless of a review this is...
Dude, i wish i could give you an 11, This is probably the funniest series on Newgrounds, i beg of you to continue.

Rude and Aries backstage vignette
The Rude and Aries backstage vignette before their match with Storm/Hardy this past Impact was gold,
Arguing over which of them would wear their T-Shirt and which would wear their robe.
Re: Rude and Aries backstage vignette
their backstage segments are hilarious,
these two guys have insane chemistry with each other.
Re: Rude and Aries backstage vignette
They do have some amazing chemistry together. They were hilarious and I loved how even after Aries got into the ring, Roode was saying something to him about his shirt.
Not to often does that happen in wrestling where two wrestlers work so well together. I really enjoy both Aries and Roode whether they are opponents or partners.
Re: Rude and Aries backstage vignette
The remark about Hulk Hogan's T-shirts not being as good as they were easy to rip (when he did the muscle pose),
was great too.
Re: Rude and Aries backstage vignette
I also liked when they were fighting over the belts after they beat down Hardy.
Spoiler for picture:
Re: Rude and Aries backstage vignette
Austin and Triple H, err I mean Austin and Roode are like the power trip gone comedy, one guy even has the same name and the other one looks like the 2nd member. I want them in a segment with Bad Intention for the lulz alone. Pretty interesting to see how versatile both guys are, they can do both serious and fun characters very well.

Amit comes to SMSMM with a widespread list of big brand sales experience, including Subway, Whole Foods, Adidas America, to name a few. He will be actively working with the company's national network of 110 licensees in specific territories to draw in even more major regional and national brands to the company's loyalty and mobile marketing solutions programs. In this role, Amit will lead the continued account sales growth in addition to overseeing brand relationships.
CEO, Alex Minicucci states, "We are thrilled to have Spencer and Amit join our team and lead our expansion into key markets. We have been experiencing significant growth over the last year and the establishment of these key roles demonstrates our commitment to our current and future clients in these area."
SMSMM's expansion is due in large part to the recent acquisition from SpendSmart Payments Company. The merger initiative signed in mid-February is expected to increase the company's product offerings with prepaid cards focused on shaping spending habits as well as strengthen their overall market share.
SMS Masterminds also provides SMS-based Mobile Loyalty Solutions primarily to small and medium sized businesses, addressing a worldwide mobile advertising market forecast to reach $11.3 billion in 2014, according to eMarketer.
"This is a very exciting time for us and for our clients," Minicucci said.

We're at the point of the holiday season where people are focused on shopping, and holiday traffic is expected to be larger than ever. Many stores are opening their doors on Thanksgiving this year to accommodate the rush of shoppers.
The latest Online Insights study asked 993 US online adults about how and when they plan to shop for the holidays, and the results couldn't be more positive for mobile. Nearly one-half of consumers will use a smartphone to shop this year, up 51% from the 2012 study.
Capturing the Holiday Rush
The answer is simple: mobile. Imagine being able to capture the holiday shoppers during the slow winter months ahead. Imagine being able to give them special offers for their patronage. Imagine those customers coming back, over and over, simply because you've made them feel special for shopping with you. These things and more — that's what mobile can do.
During the holiday season especially, consumers look for deals. That's the whole point of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, right? People try to be the first to the store, the first to get in line, the first to get the deals. Mobile can take these deals further.
Offering a special deal to your most loyal customers will make you soar over your competitors. Sales, coupons and promotions are a marketer's best friend during the season.
What Should I Do?
If you're a retailer, take advantage of all the mobile shoppers. Shoppers are going to continue looking for deals and discounts into December as they're finishing up their holiday shopping, so make sure to leverage mobile marketing to reach those consumers by doing the following:
- Create a mobile-friendly website for shoppers surfing the Web for deals on their mobile devices.
- Issue mobile coupons through text messaging to target the consumers looking for deep discounts.
- Implement QR codes at the point-of-sale to encourage customer interaction.
- Consider the different ways in which consumers interact on their mobile devices, including peak days of the week and times of day that they browse the Web, send text messages, look for coupons, etc.
Retailers, businesses, and brands— gear up for the holiday season. Shoppers are going to be active on their mobile devices browsing the Web for deals, searching for coupons, and making payments.
Take advantage of users' increased mobile engagement during the holidays by creating an integrated campaign that reinforces your message, raises awareness, and creates excitement so that consumers will want to engage with your brand.
What's Next?
After the holiday season is over, retailers tend to see a sharp decline in sales. If you utilize the right tools during the holiday season, you'll be able to reach those customers who came in to shop. Capturing a database of customers who opt-in to receive deals and specials from you during the holidays could prove to be invaluable as you navigate the last months of winter. Offering deals for being a holiday shopper and informing those customers of clearance inventory will bring them back into your store, even after the holidays.

If you're over the age of 20, you've likely used a credit card, counted change and maybe even written a check. But is all that about to change?
Mobile payment hasn't become the de facto method of financial transactions just yet, but it is projected to overtake those archaic checkbooks and bank notes you've been lugging around.
Three types of mobile payments dominate the marketplace today: m-commerce (uses a mobile browser and online wallets), m-payments (uses mobile apps), and m-wallets (replaces your entire wallet). Furthermore, consumers can access several forms of transaction on their mobile devices, including scannable barcodes, mobile coupons and self-checkout.
But are consumers ready to wholeheartedly adopt the latest in mobile payment technology? Adults who are unbanked, for instance, may face a barrier to mobile transactions — there are currently 17 million unbanked adults in the U.S. But many smartphone users welcome the convenience of mobile payments (87% in the UK), while others worry about the privacy factor (79% in Asia). Still, 49% of consumers in the U.S. found shopping on a smartphone awkward.
Then again, many people found paper checks awkward and credit cards confusing the first time around.
Where do you fall in the mobile payment debate? What kinds of transactions do you handle on your smartphone? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

The world could be a dramatically different place by 2020. In only eight short years, cash and credit may be gone from our daily experience. In their place? Mobile payment platforms that will simplify and expedite how we pay for goods and services.
"As adoption of advanced mobile devices such as smartphones has exploded in recent years," a new Pew study reads, "consumers have grown increasingly comfortable using their phones to transfer money, purchase goods, and engage in other types of financial transactions."
Recent Pew Internet surveys find that one in ten Americans have used their cell phone to make a charitable contribution by text message, that more than one-third of smartphone owners have used their phones to do online banking services like paying bills or checking a balance, and that 46% of apps users have purchased an app using a mobile device.
Incredibly, some sixty-five percent of the technology experts surveyed by Pew believe that mobile wallets will be fully trusted and adopted by consumers to such a degree that they will replace cash and credit by the close of the decade.

Just as loyal coffee enthusiasts can't get enough Starbucks, the folks at Starbucks can't seem to get enough of anything related to mobile.
From mobile apps to mobile payment platforms, Starbucks is on the vanguard of mCommerce advancements that may soon be far more pervasive throughout the retail space than they presently are.
According to new details that have come to light this week, Starbucks has already processed more than 42 million mobile payments. That's not bad considering that the program just began last year.
From VentureBeat:
In December 2011, Starbucks revealed that it had processed 26 million mobile payments. Adoption continues to grow exponentially, the company said.
"You're going to see us as a company that will push the envelope around mobile pay," Starbucks chief digital officer Adam Brotman told VentureBeat. "We want to innovate in that area before others catch up."

Wednesday PayPal announced the next move in its revamp of its product line: PayPal Payments, which lets you take customers' money in person as well as online and on mobile devices.
"The heart of PayPal is small business," Peter Karpas, North American VP of customer engagement told Mashable. "The lines between online and offline and mobile are totally blurring for them. This comprehensive revamp of our products allows small businesses to get paid however they do business."
Labeled Standard, Advanced, and Pro, each tier offers some of the same basic functionality. Payments can be accepted in 25 different currencies from 190 countries, and can be taken from PayPal accounts as well as via credit card or check using PayPal's new PayPal Here app.
PayPal announced PayPal Here earlier this month. Going up against Square in the mobile payments space, the app offers businesses a card reader so they can accept on-the-spot payments. The app can also accept checks by taking a photo of them, and can be used for invoicing and keeping track of cash payments as well.
Customers who use PayPal can also check in to a business using the traditional PayPal app on their phones, and pay for purchases by simply saying "Put it on PayPal" and having the merchant select his or her name and photo from their own merchant phone or tablet.
The Standard tier of PayPal payments is free for businesses to use. The Advanced tier adds the ability for customers to pay for purchases without leaving your website for $5 per month, and the Pro tier lets you design and host your own checkout pages for full control, as well as accept credit card via phone, fax, and mail.
PayPal checkouts are also optimized now for mobile, so when customers visit a small business' website to make a purchase, they don't have to pinch-to-zoom or manipulate the website in order to complete their purchase.
Payments via PayPal were previously called "website payments standard" and "website payments pro," and as of today PayPal is also dropping the "website" terminology from the name. Comparing it to Apple's decision to remove "computer" from its named in 2007, Karpas says the company is dropping the website terminology to indicate that the company is moving to accepting payments however you do business.

Best Buy Co. Inc. has found its more valuable customers are ones who don't just visit the e-commerce site or the bricks-and-mortar store. They also shop using their smartphones and tablets.
How valuable are these customers? The multichannel Best Buy consumer who uses a mobile device makes 15% more e-commerce purchases than the non-mobile consumer, said Chris Moroz, Best Buy associate manager for digital analytics. And, for in-store purchases, the mobile Best Buy consumer is 25% more valuable.
Speaking at the Adobe Digital Summit 2012 in Salt Lake City, Moroz said Best Buy calculated these figures by measuring three sets of data. One was connecting the BestBuy.com visitor data to its database of registered customers. Another was the result of surveys sent to e-commerce visitors who filled their shopping carts, but abandoned the sale. The third was a survey at the point of sale about the consumer's shopping experience. The data then was screened through digital analytics software from Adobe Systems Inc.
"We found that on any given day a BestBuy.com visitor is more likely to purchase in-store," Moroz said. Of consumers using a mobile device to visit Best Buy's m-commerce site, one-fourth were found to make an in-store purchase within two weeks of their visit, he said.
Best Buy, incidentally, fared best in a recent survey by market research firm ClickIQ of the behavior of consumers using smartphones in stores.
To find out what happened after the in-store research was complete, survey respondents were asked to state where they eventually purchased the product they were researching. Best Buy did the best job of retaining the sale. 35% of those that researched at Best Buy ended up purchasing at the Best Buy store with another 14% purchasing at BestBuy.com. However, 21% purchased the product from Amazon.com. The rest did not purchase.
At the conference, Moroz said the next step for Best Buy is to automate much of the data collection process and to get more data about how consumers use Best Buy's smartphone apps. "The mobile-savvy customer needs to be heard," he said.
Best Buy is No. 11 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide and No. 16 in the Mobile Commerce Top 300.
Lynn Lanphier, director, digital analytics, Best Buy Co. Inc., will speak this June at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2012 in Chicago in a session titled "The new age of analytics: Creating a data strategy that leads to increased sales."

Despite criticism, the QR code continues to be a major player in the evolution of mobile commerce.
But while many Fortune 500 advertisers may have embraced the QR code in their marketing efforts, the restaurant industry has proven a relatively late adopter of the technology.
When used to power speedier transactions and provide timely information, the QR code is a useful tool for restaurateurs seeking to augment the customer experience. On takeout menus, dine-in menus and real world advertising, the QR code has a purposeful place in the restaurant experience.
As any supporter of QR codes, near field communication (NFC) chips, or augmented reality will tell you, the key is the destination, not the mode of transportation. It doesn't matter if information is delivered with zero friction, if the information itself isn't wanted, it won't pay off.
Are QR codes just a marketing fad, or can the mobile technology deliver real value for restaurants and consumers at the right place and at the right time? Here are four ways QR codes can be effectively leveraged in a restaurant environment to improving the overall dining experience.
1. Mobile Ordering
Ordering food from a smartphone is incredibly convenient. It is sub-optimal to have to speak to a live person, who is juggling multiple roles in a restaurant, dealing with customers face-to-face and handling several ringing phone lines.
Enter the QR-coded takeout menu. Restaurants realize that the printed takeout menu is still one of the most effective ways to elicit food orders. It's tangible, colorful, holds a lot of information and is easily shared. Adding a QR code to the menu triggers a mobile ordering experience. That way, restaurants can marry the best of old and new technology and make the traditional takeout menu digitally interactive.
Or prompt a customer to complete a takeout order online, at which point she'll receive a custom-generated QR code to be scanned at the point-of-sale. The Melt handles orders by generating QR codes that help consumers skip the ordering line.
2. Links to Photos and Social Media
Ever stare at a text-based menu and wonder what a particular dish actually looks like? A QR code strategically placed on a dine-in menu has the ability to take consumers to additional information. The QR code could lead to photos with dish names, to the restaurant's Yelp listing, or to Twitter and Facebook links to encourage social media sharing.
On takeout menus and any real world advertising, the QR code can trigger links to a wealth of useful information. In this manner, the QR code is not a marketing gimmick, but a bona fide mechanism to provide interested parties with information on which they can act.
The mobile landing page launched by the QR code on a takeout menu could include hours, contact information, a map and directions. Special offers and feedback forms could also be part of the mobile-optimized experience.
Additionally, most QR readers have a history tab that logs previously visited sites, so the information, once scanned, could be referenced later.
3. Different Restaurants, Different QR Code Applications
The QR code can be utilized effectively by a variety of different restaurant types, from fine dining to casual, from fast food to food trucks.
A fine dining establishment might wish to use the QR code in a city guide advertisement, which leads to its online reservations system and photos of the interior of the restaurant.
A fast food restaurant could add the QR code to a table tent ad, leading to a special promotion in exchange for an email address.
And food trucks could affix a QR code to the side of the vehicle to help people skip the line, should they wish to order and pay through their smartphones.
4. A Word About Aesthetics
A common objection to QR codes is that they are ugly and unbefitting of a nicely designed marketing strategy. It is true that the standard out-of-the-box QR code isn't particularly aesthetically pleasing, but brands can improve the appearance with clever design tricks that ensure scanability and beauty.
By going with a custom-designed QR code, restaurants can represent their style, while also reassuring customers that the restaurant has put some thought into the experience.
As consumer smartphone adoption continues to surge, QR code usage is becoming more sophisticated. In particular, QR codes are transforming from a mere advertising hook to an integral part of mobile infrastructure. From boarding passes to takeout menus, the QR code is becoming less novelty and more utility.
One challenge for restaurants is always staying fresh in the minds of consumers. The restaurant that embraces mobile technology intelligently will demonstrate its cutting-edge commitment to excellent user experience and customer service.

About 30% of mobile phone users spend an average of about 27 minutes each day text messaging, using the telephone and video chatting, according to retailer CultureLabel.com. The company put together an infographic that highlights the bright outlook for the mobile commerce industry, helped along by the massive growth of smartphone adoption.
As CultureLabel looked to expand its own mobile strategy, the company compiled stats to reinforce the need to grow its m-commerce channel. According to its findings displayed in the online art retailer's infographic, 5.9 billion out of the 7 billion people (87%) worldwide already have mobile phones. Smartphone sales are up 63.1% from 2010, and a whopping 488.5 million devices were sold in 2011.
Meanwhile, one in seven searches are made with a mobile device. More people are accessing social networking sites this way too. In fact, Facebook mobile users have quadrupled in two years from 50 million in 2009 to 200 million in 2011.
The infographic also points out that mobile commerce is expected to experience significant growth by 2015 from the six previous years — jumping 99-fold from $1 billion in sales in 2009 to more than $100 billion
Do you think mobile commerce will every surpass e-commerce? Do you think these channels will ever surpass in-store shopping sales? Let us know in the comments.

Last week, mobile enthusiasts congregated in Barcelona to participate in the annual Mobile World Congress—a celebration of the current state of mobile and its promising future.
The event is comprised of a thought-leadership conference with keynote speakers and panel discussions, a mobile technology exhibition, the Global Mobile Awards, and the newly added mPowered Brands—a program where global marketers and agencies share mobile marketing knowledge.
It's no surprise that they added this program to the agenda, seeing as though mobile is now a force to be reckoned with in the marketing realm.
mPowered Brands seems like a great opportunity for the marketing professionals lucky enough to be involved. It focuses on accelerating marketers' use of mobile as a marketing medium and gives professionals across the mobile marketing ecosystem the opportunity to gain practical insight and knowledge from some of the most innovative mobile marketing companies today, such as McCann Worldgroup and Nielsen.
Aside from the mobile marketing component of the event, the keynote speaker series featured a hefty lineup of innovative speakers that hold some degree of clout in the mobile industry. Speakers included Ralph de la Vega, President & CEO of AT&T Mobility, John Donahoe, President and CEO of eBay, and Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Google, among many others.
Another cool part of the Mobile World Congress is the exhibition, where mobile aficionados can sneak a peek at the new phones, tablets, apps, accessories, and other emerging mobile technologies.
About 1,500 different companies showcased their products, and over 12,500 app developers participated in App Planet, which focused on the latest technology within the apps industry. The App Planet exhibition was hosted by big players like BlackBerry, IBM, IMGA, Nokia, Samsung and WIP.
The event also included forums and seminars related to mobile industry topics such as augmented reality, mobile cloud, mobile security, mobile spam, mobile privacy, and more.
The vast amount of information and insight shared at Mobile World Congress 2012 would certainly be beneficial for mobile professionals across the globe. From what I can gather, the event seemed like a great resource for experts in the mobile industry to educate themselves and share their knowledge and expertise with others.

Picked this recipe as a great way to clear the vegetable bin at the end of the week. Odd reason but I am so pleased I did. This turned out to be one of those dishes that makes you wish one could share the smell of the dish, not just a picture. The wonderful smell of the simmering sauce permeated throughout the kitchen and left me eagerly anticipating the final result. It did not dissapoint. The careful inclusion of the vegeables left each one perfectly prepared and not overdone. I added my potatoes about 9 minutes before finishing so they could absorb the sauce. Caroline is right the sauce is the star. The suggested bread should be an ingredient as you won't want to miss a drop. Well worth a trip to the gym to later to enjoy and extra piece. The two small changes was that I cut the oil to 2 teaspoons and omitted the salt. Thanks Bunny Mom!!
This is an outstanding recipe. The apartment smells like grandma's house when the veggies are simmering in the wine sauce-- warm and inviting. The wine sauce make this deliciously rich. The second time I made it I doubled the amount of wine and sauce, since I always have leftovers and the sauce tends to get absorbed by the veggies overnight. Also, I serve the ragout over cornbread and top with an asiago/parmesan blend and this dish becomes out of this world. The mild sweetness of the cornbread with the richness of the wine sauce--OMG!
Excellent! Left out the oil and softened the veggies in a little bit of water. Left out the zucchini and had to make due with red cooking wine, and it was still very tasty! Ate over potatoes. Thanks for sharing.

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Loan Updates
In the city of Calca, in the department of Cusco, there is a place known as the community of Arin. This place is known for its beautiful scenery, its cuisine and the warmth of its people.
In this community of Arin, we meet Aristides, who is 45 years old. He has a wife, and from this relationship he has four children. He lives with his wife in their own house, which has water and electricity connections. It is located in the province of Calca, which belongs to the department of Cusco. The main activities in this zone are farming, ranching and tourism.
Aristides is a master carpenter. He has a small workshop in his home, where he makes wooden furniture such as wardrobes, chairs, tables and other items. He has dedicated himself to this business for 10 years, and it is going very well for him, thanks to the dedication he puts into his work. Later, he sells his furniture to people who have placed orders with him over time.
The loan which Aristides has requested from the Arariwa Association is for 700 Peruvian new soles. It will be used to buy supplies such as wood, carpenter's glue and sandpaper. Aristides is a hard-working and perservering man who has always known how to get ahead in order to improve his life and obtain what he wants.

Paquin flaunted her burgeoning baby bump at the Huggies Hawaiian and Baby2Baby Luau event over the weekend in Beverly Hills, looking on-trend and comfortable in a colourful printed dress by Clover Canyon with YSL heels and a metallic clutch.
Simple, stylish and with just the right amount of bump-cling (we still can't get Adriana Lima's skintight LBD out of our minds), we're looking forward to more pregnancy style tips from Anna in the coming months.

Shorts piling on nicely today as it breaks another support price. Lots of folks losing a lot of money and it is not wall street.
We are here already. This stock was never worth 72 but like wall street ran stocks up from 1995 to 2000, they did the same thing from 2009 to 2014. They shorted them down in 2000 and 2008-2009 and they will do it again. Of course FB is a beauty with it's number of shares available and the high price. This is why they move down so quickly when they tank. The big buyers are wall street. When they short the buyers are not there.
Take your profit before you lose it (if you have some).
Sentiment: Strong Sell
yup, and then 60. my jun puts are paying off nicely.
next resistance is in the 58 area.i think 60 holds for expiration,thou gh it will be tested

I have an infected USB that is loaded with trojans, spywares, Sality, etc. Basically, I wish to put my important data somewhere, reformat the USB, then restore the data.
I have prepared a freshly installed operating system that is virus free. It seems like the only way to reformat the USB is to plug it into the PC.
Is it true that as long as I disable USB drive autorun, there is no way my clean computer can get infected by the infested USB?
Alternatively, is it true that if I delete autorun.inf on my USB, even if I have autorun enabled on my PC, there is no way I can get infected?
Also, how can I safely copy my data files from the USB to my clean computer, so that I can reformat my USB, then restore the files back to the USB?

I've worn Joop for many years; it is fabulous! I put gel in my bath water, suds up with the gorgeous dark blue cream soap and then apply body cream. I used to be able to get body powder but have not found it for several years. Hey out there does anyone know where I can find it? Finally I apply Joop eau de toilette.

Here's How You Can Buy Some Ramen Burgers Online Today
They'll run you $8 each and be delivered right to your door this Friday.
Good news for people curious to try food fads, but who also might not live in the major metropolitan areas where they're sold: Goldbely, the company that specializes in shipping so-hot foods like Cronuts, is in the midst of a two-day Ramen Burger flash sale. Until the end of today, you can get two of Keizo Shimamoto's creations, for $8 each, delivered right to your door this Friday — provided you time things right. Goldbely is releasing the burgers in batches through the day, which they say gives everyone a fairer shot. That may be true, but it also makes it seriously frustrating to figure out the timing. In any event, head here for instructions on how to maximize your chances (Spoiler: You just have to keep an eye on Goldbely's Facebook and Twitter accounts). [Goldbely]

"With a very, very loose narrative structure -- it's practically non-existent -- the film moves like a documentary, dropping in and out of cases and countering that with peeks into the personal lives of the cops as well,..the immediacy of the film lends itself powerfully to the sequences focusing on the myriad of cases that come through the CPU doors. You couldn't think up the kind of stuff they deal with if you tried, but again, without realizing what she has, Maiwenn thinks she needs to put it over the top,..When the film is true to itself it works wonderfully."
"All too often, the cast look like drama students put into some sort of group improv workshop and told to think themselves into the role of stressed cops. This means they shout at each other, and then they tell each other to calm down,..Some of the movie works: there is a scene that shows the officers – strained beyond endurance – laughing uncontrollably, and inappropriately, at some of the evidence. But elsewhere there are a lot of wrong notes and horrendous tonal misjudgements."

LETTERS: NCT, Nov. 18, 2010
Do Obama supporters support luxury trip?
It looks like the third attempt was a charm as our esteemed leader, his wife and 3,000 of his closest friends and allies took off on a 10-day, all expenses paid (by your tax dollars) excursion to India, China, Korea and other exotic destinations in Asia.
I hope that all of the Obama supporters who are struggling to pay their rent or mortgage, put food on the table and juggle their medical bills have no problem funding his jaunt to faraway places at this time. After all, he has just experienced an exhausting mid-term election.
Jo Anne Jones
Thank you, Escondido
Thank you, Escondido, for your vote of confidence and for the trust you have given me to be your next mayor.
I would like to also extend my sincere appreciation to all the volunteers who worked hard for months and months on our campaign, visiting thousands of families at their homes and making many thousands of phone calls. Their effort and support has helped us achieve a great victory.
My gratitude also goes to the mayoral and council candidates and all who ran for office for making the commitment to serve our city. I hope that they will all remain involved in our community.
We have come to a crossroads in the history of our city, our state and our nation. As your next mayor, I pledge my unwavering commitment, hard work and passion to protect the American dream for all of us and our children. I am excited about our future and the opportunities ahead of us. Together, we will overcome our challenges, provide a better life for our families and make Escondido the finest city in North County.
Sam Abed
Mayor Elect
Thanks to supporters, family and voters
I would like to thank the voters of Oceanside for electing me to the Oceanside City Council. I am humbled and honored by the confidence they have placed in me.
As part of my campaign, I walked 23 precincts, lost 23 pounds and spoke to thousands of residents. I want to thank everyone who took the time to speak with me.
I would like to extend an extra special thanks to all my supporters who walked precincts, made phone calls, wrote letters to the editor, waved signs on street corners, placed signs in their yards and donated to my campaign. My victory would not have been possible without their efforts.
I would also like to thank my wife, Karen, and my children, Justin, Sarah and David, for their support and for enduring all the commotion a campaign brings to the home front.
I would like to invite my supporters to my swearing-in ceremony that will take place Thursday, Dec. 2, at 10 a.m. in the City Council Chamber at City Hall. Thank you again for the honor of electing me as your City Council member.
Gary Felien
City Councilman-elect
You get what you pay for
I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. The salaries of the San Marcos city employees are a bargain for the service they provide. Look at our neighbors to the west and east. San Marcos is a beautiful place to live. The doors to City Hall are always open. They invite community feedback.
If the mayor lists his phone number on the city website, it leads me to think he makes himself available 24/7. I have brought several concerns directly to Mayor Jim Desmond#'s attention via e-mail. He forwards the information to Paul Malone, the city manager, and Paul takes immediate appropriate action.

About MicroKing FinanceMicroKing's loans are guaranteed against institutional default (failure of MicroKing to repay Kiva lenders if the borrower repays MicroKing) by MicroKing's parent company: Kingdom Financial Holdings Limited.
More About MicroKing
This loan is administered by MicroKing Finance, Kiva's first partner in Zimbabwe.
MicroKing's mandate is to provide financial services integrated with advisory services and targeted training to the under-banked but rapidly growing Zimbabwean micro-enterprise sector. The intent is to mobilize the underprivileged as active agents in fighting poverty as well as to accelerate the country's journey back to economic prosperity where Zimbabwe was once known as the "bread basket of Africa."
Zimbabwean micro-enterprises are generally run by women and comprise a multitude of business types. Constraints on local production and manufacturing capacity have led to cross-border trading being the most common type of business.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

FOX 47 - Health News
MADISON (WMSN) -- Today's winter blast is kicking up some headaches out on the roads, and injuries are starting to pile up in the ER.
Fox 47 News ventured outside, to find out how today went at the St. Mary's Hospital ER.
"I was trying to move a car out of the parking lot and then the next thing you know my knee popped and fell and hit the ground," said St. Mary's patient Rick Gray.
Rick Gray lost his battle with the snow this morning.
The next few weeks he's going to navigate through it on crutches because of a dislocated knee.
"That was the third car I helped get out of the parking lot - unfortunately that was the last," said patient Rick Gray.
It wasn't easy for the staff to get to work this morning. One nurse hopped on her snowmobile to get there.
"We don't get snow days, we have to be here," said Jody Weiss, St. Mary's ER Nurse.
To help patients like Rick who otherwise wouldn't have had anyplace to go.
"We get a lot of snow blower injuries with people trying to clear out the snow with stuck ice in the shoot," said Dr. Kip Kircher, St. Mary's Hospital.
Dr. Kip Kircher says finger injuries and amputations are most common after huge winter blasts, along with people blowing their backs out.
"After you've had a chance for your body to rest you can feel more pain," said Dr. Kircher.
He says you should drink lots of water, and stay active after the storms. As for Rick, he's going to sit the next one out.
"Wait for them to clear your packing lot before you go out and start pushing cars around, it was very slippery and have some help with you," said Rick.
"If you're feeling tired you really need to slow down, the snow can wait," said Dr. Kircher.
The doctor adds what we need to be concerned about next is frostbite. With the wind chill at -20 degrees in some places Wednesday night, it only takes about 10 minutes for frostbite to set in.
Make sure you cover every part of your body if you venture outside especially your head.
