Seriously, did any other Sounders fans get this spam on LinkedIn? I'm thinking that if I get an apology I might take this post down. Neil Strohbusch has a pretty thin online profile, I wouldn't be surprised if this post starts showing up when people search for his name.
Reporting you for spam. You are member of practically every group on LinkedIn, so I hope that a couple other Sounders fans also report this misuse.
If you would like to contact me about helping clean up your online profile I would be more than happy to give you some advice.

I am a Sounders season ticket holder and I am reaching out to the Sounders Family for a couple of reasons.
First is to see if you know of any potential candidates for a sales position at my new [redacted] Insurance and Financial Services Agency in the Kirkland area to help me build an agency that differentiates ourselves in the marketplace and provides superior service to the clients we serve. I am looking for someone that is passionate, coachable, and interested in engaging with the community.
Second, would you have any objection if I gave you a call in January for a free quote to see if I can save you money on your insurance? Obviously no obligation in the quote, but would love the chance to earn your business.

The Committee of Experts on Terrorism (CODEXTER)
The CODEXTER is an inter-governmental committee of experts. In 2003 it replaced the Multidisciplinary Group on International Action against terrorism (GMT) to coordinate the implementation of the Council of Europe's action against terrorism. (see the CODEXTER's Specific Terms of Reference).
The CODEXTER is currently focusing on:
· the preparation of country profiles on counter-terrorism capacity;
· exchanges of information and best practice on compensation and insurance schemes for the victims of terrorism;
· identifying gaps in international law and action against terrorism with a view to proposing ways and means to fill them; and
· monitoring the signatures and ratifications and promoting the effective implementation of the Council of Europe conventions applicable to the fight against terrorism, in particular the Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism (CETS No.196).

Phat Clothing
From Grand Theft Wiki
Bayside, Tierra Robada, San Andreas. It appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It is located at the "down town" area of Bayside. The store is a clothing store that sells clothes to obese, overweight, or larger people, as its name suggests. It's main competitor is Kilimanjaro, another clothing store located in San Andreas that also sells clothes to the same targeted customers. The store is not accessible and serves no real purpose in the game other than comic relief.

Do they really? I would think that any living Tyranids aren't redigested as that would be pretty energy inefficient so I think they just are brought back to the Hive Ship and made to hybernate until they arrive at the next planet.
Also I feel like that would be annoying for something like the Swarmlord, which has to remember all of the times that it's been redigested, spawned, redigested spawned, and possibly killed at some point as well. I feel like that would get annoying eventually.

WASHINGTON -- Gaza is now run not by a conventional political party, but by a movement that is revolutionary, Islamist and terrorist. Worse, Hamas is a client of Iran. Gaza now constitutes the farthest reach of the archipelago of Iranian proxies: Hamas in Palestine, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Mahdi Army (among others) in Iraq, and the Alawite regime of Syria.
This Islamist mini-replica of Comintern is at war not just with Israel but with the moderate Arab states, who finally woke up to this threat last summer when they denounced Hezbollah for provoking the Lebanon war with Israel. The fall of Gaza is particularly terrifying to Egypt because Hamas is so closely affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, the chief Islamist threat to the secular-nationalist regime that has ruled Egypt since the revolution of 1952. Which is why Egypt has just invited Israeli, Jordanian and moderate Palestinian leaders to a summit next week -- pointedly excluding and isolating Hamas.
The splitting of Palestine into two entities is nonetheless clarifying. Since Hamas won the parliamentary elections of January 2006, we've had to deal with the fiction of a supposedly unified Palestine ruled by an avowedly ``unity'' government of Fatah and Hamas. Now the muddle has undergone political hydrolysis, separating out the relatively pure elements: a Hamas-ruled Gaza and Fatah-ruled (for now) West Bank.
The policy implications are obvious. There is nothing to do with the self-proclaimed radical Islamist entity that is Gaza but to isolate it. No recognition, no aid (except humanitarian necessities through the U.N.), no diplomatic commerce.
Israel now has the opportunity to establish deterrence against unremitting rocket attacks from Gaza into Israeli villages. Israel failed to do that after it evacuated Gaza in 2005, permitting the development of an unprecedented parasitism by willingly supplying food, water, electricity and gasoline to a territory that was actively waging hostilities against it.
With Hamas now clearly in charge, Israel should declare that it will tolerate no more rocket fire -- that the next Qassam will be answered with a cutoff of gasoline shipments. This should bring road traffic in Gaza to a halt within days and make it increasingly difficult to ferry around missiles and launchers.
If that fails to concentrate the mind, the next step should be to cut off electricity. When the world wails, Israel should ask, what other country on earth is expected to supply the very means for a declared enemy to attack it?

As we flew south east towards Saudi Arabia, we stopped on the west coast of the Gulf of Suez, where a range of low mountains runs north-south along the Gulf. We took some photos of the harsh and impressive lunar landscape. The ground, made up of what looked like small pumice stones, burnt our feet through our shoes. We seemed to be the only living thing visible from horizon to horizon. Our helicopter, twinkling in the setting sun, looked like an Apollo landing craft on the moon.
Suddenly, we woke up to the significance of the fact that the sun was indeed touching the horizon behind us. We were going east, and we were more than 20 degrees farther south than when we started out from home, so it got dark much earlier than we were used to in the UK. And because we were much closer to the tropics the days were ending more suddenly, without much in the way of twilight. We should have taken all this into account, and kept going, rather than wasting time drinking Coca-cola in the lonely desert.

"In these economic times, people can feel a little more desperate, so they may not negotiate what they really need to succeed," says Kolb. You should consider things like staff size, timing flexibility and equipment you may need to do a quality job. Make sure you state your case for those things before saying yes.
You should also exercise patience by learning about the company's situation when negotiating, Kolb says.
"You need to know why they're picking you for the job -- why you, why now?" she says. "Do you have specific skills? Do they have other people who could take the job?" If so, or if you're a new college grad in this shaky economy, you may decide to move more quickly. In those cases, "I'd be inclined to say yes sooner, but I'd also like to talk about what happens when things turn around or if I succeed," says Kolb. "Will there be a salary readjustment or a bonus?"
While economic uncertainty generally puts job seekers in less powerful positions, it's not true for everybody -- not people with deep expertise, she says. And remember, a weak economy usually doesn't last forever.
One situation where patience matters is when there's an "invisible third person" involved, says Mary B. Simon, author of "Negotiate Your Job Offer: A Step-by-Step Guide to a Win-Win Situation." That's when the person you're negotiating with isn't the one with the power to make a final decision.
Going back and forth with an "invisible" decision-maker can spell delays. Recognize that it's just the process and not how that company feels about you.
Of course, patience matters substantially when you need to create a path to the job through significant networking, Simon says. Your network-cultivation fest "might yield a dividend today, but more likely in six months, or 12 months, or 18 months," she says.
The patient networker is the profitable networker.
Patience in investing
With millions of people smarting from investment losses, the old wisdom of buying a good company and holding on has been taking a beating in many quarters.
But Charles Carlson, editor of The DRIP Investor newsletter, which covers dividend reinvestment plans, and author of "The Smart Investor's Survival Guide," says the term "buy and hold" is often misunderstood.
"I've always thought that the term 'buy and hold' is bastardized," he says. "It does not mean never sell. It means you are buying with the intent of being long-term."
It means you have an investment process: You do your research while remembering things can change. Knowing exactly why you purchased will help you sell -- or curb the urge to sell.
"If you do your work on the front end, on the buy side; if you know exactly why you bought a stock, and if the reasons are no longer valid, then you can sell," says Carlson. "Unfortunately, people buy on reasons like stocks are going up or my friend told me about this."
A jumpy, impatient attitude can hurt you with increased trading fees and, potentially, more tax liabilities, Carlson says.
Then there's the huge cost of potentially missing a big winner. "When you look at most portfolios, most people tend to make their money off two to three stocks that have really gone gangbusters over a long period of time," he says.
"It's the 80-20 rule," he says. "Eighty percent of gains can come from 20 percent of holdings. The stocks that will truly make you rich are the ones you hold for a long period of time, and the reasons you have them are still valid."
Carlson advises against reaching drastic conclusions because of a disastrous year. "To rewrite your playbook because of a year where nothing has worked is a huge mistake," he says. "If patience has worked for you in the past, it will work for you in the future."

I was recently at a client site who, through a bit of a long story, didn't have any local copies of their RDL files. However, they did have all their reports deployed to a server in native mode. The question became – what's the easiest way to download all the RDL files? Fortunately, the answer was pretty easy – an RS.exe script.
RS.exe is a command line environment which gives you a reference to the SSRS web service. You can use this to do most everything on an SSRS server, including security, rendering reports, manage subscriptions, and, fortunately, download files. You simply provide a script file written in VB.NET.
The script file will automatically have a variable named "rs" which is the reference to the Reporting Services web service. You simply provide a Main method as the starting point and away you go.
The script to download all reports and save them to the same file structure looks like this.
Dim rootPath As String = "C:\Reports"
Sub Main()
Dim items As CatalogItem() = _
rs.ListChildren("/", true)
For Each item As CatalogItem in items
If item.Type = ItemTypeEnum.Folder Then
Else If item.Type = ItemTypeEnum.Report Then
End If
End Sub
Sub CreateDirectory(path As String)
path = GetLocalPath(path)
End Sub
Sub SaveReport(reportName As String)
Dim reportDefinition As Byte()
Dim document As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
reportDefinition = rs.GetReportDefinition(reportName)
Dim stream As New MemoryStream(reportDefinition)
document.Save(GetLocalPath(reportName) + ".rdl")
End Sub
Function GetLocalPath(rsPath As String) As String
Return rootPath + rsPath.Replace("/", "\")
End Function
I've included a variable called RootPath. This can be updated to point at whatever fold you'd like to store your reports in.
The Main method retrieves the list of all children (reports, folders, etc.) on the server. It then loops through each item. If it's a folder, it creates the folder locally. If it's a report it downloads it by first grabbing the byte array, then storing it in a memory stream and saving it locally using the XmlDocument object.
To use the script, simply copy/paste into notepad and save it, or download it from below. Then you can call RS from the command-line in SQL as follows:
rs -s http://<server>/ReportServer -i <filename>
Where <server> is the name of your Report Server, and <filename> is the name of the script file. Let it run for a few minutes and you'll have all your RDL files ready to start importing into projects.
So if you don't have the RDL files for your reports locally, downloading them is as easy as using RS.exe.

Examiner.com was on the scene for the BCBGMAXAZRIA Fall 2014 Presentation at The Theatre at Lincoln Center. Max and Lubov Azria debuted another chic must have collection. Notable attendees included Coco Rocha, Giada De Laurentis, Samira Wiley and Phoebe Tonkin.
The collection was inspired by "the landscapes and scenery of Louisiana and the bayou. The juxtaposition of reflections, water and sky inspired the blues and natural tones in the Fall 2014 collection. Collection colors include warm neutrals and treys offset with rich Terracotta and cool blues," the designers said. Other color highlights included black, icy treys, navy, camel, pale mauve, blush, mint, burnt orange and mint. Fabrics used included silk, wool and fur. Bumble and Bumble curated the hair looks. Val Garland and the Mac Pro Team did the make up, and OPI designed the nails.
The show's playlist included "Ain't No Sunshine" as covered by Coeur De Pirate, "Murakami" by Made in Heights, and "Hey Clarinette" by the Trapmasters.
We exclusively interviewed "Orange is the New black" star Samira Wiley, who was wearing a BCBGMAXAZRIA "Simone" strapless jumpsuit in bright poppy in the front row. Check out what she had to say!
So what brings you out today?
SW: This is the first show that I ever been a part of and I'm just so excited to be invited and happy to be here and celebrate the artistry of people in the fashion industry and celebrate that and be here for that.
Tell me what you wearing today?
SW: Well, this is BCBG…I love it, it's a one piece. When you put on clothes, you want to feel good about yourself and putting on BCBG clothes, I always pretty much 100% feel good about myself - feel sexy, feel comfortable all those kind of things.
Can you tell me about how the ride has been with the success of "Orange is the New Black"?
SW: It's all been a lot really fast. A year ago my life was completely different and I'm blessed and thankful and I'm grateful and I'm just kind of riding this wave and trying to be grateful.
Are you finished shooting Season 2 of "OINB" or are you still shooting ?
SW: Yeah, we are finished shooting Season 2, so my part is done and they are in post-production, but I'm just trying to enjoy my hiatus.
What else would you like to share?
SW: I have a movie coming out next month and it's called "Rob the Mob." It stars Andy Garcia, Ray Romano and Michael Pitt. It's based on a true story.
How did you first get involved in "Orange"?
SW: I had an audition for the show just like I have auditions every week for shows and it was something about the script where I just knew that it was special and I really wanted to be part of it, so yeah, just like that.
Australian actress and "The Originals" star Phoebe Tonkin was also excited to be at her first New York Fashion Week event. She decided to attend BCBG because, "It's a brand that I've known since I was younger. It's just such a playful fresh brand and it's just really great."

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony, using phase analysis of nuclear single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) as independent predictor of cardiac events.
METHODS: Phase analysis using Emory Cardiac Toolbox was applied on gated rest MPI scans to assess LV dyssynchrony in a total of 202 patients. Follow-up was obtained in 197 patients (97.5%). Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (cardiac death and hospitalisation for any cardiac reasons, including worsening of heart failure, non-fatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina and coronary revascularisation) were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to identify independent predictors of cardiac events.
RESULTS: At a median follow-up of 3.2 ± 1.2 years, 41 patients had at least one event, including 5 cardiac deaths. LV dyssynchrony (n = 35) was associated with a significantly higher incidence of MACE (p<0.001) and proved to be an independent predictor of cardiac events.
CONCLUSION: LV dyssynchrony assessed by phase analysis of gated SPECT-MPI is a strong predictor of MACE independent of other known predictors such as perfusion defects or decreased LV ejection fraction.

Pros of renting an RV or motorhome:
- Pretty places to stay. You choose your
destination and can change it any time if you wish for any reason.
- Save money on overnight accommodations. Although campsite prices have risen in the past couple years, they are still much less expensive than a hotel room.
- No unpacking and packing and lugging suitcases around. Once you have your clothes and necessities put away and organized, you are set.
- No searching for a bathroom. When you've got to go, you've got to go! With an RV, there's no crossing legs and yearning for a gas station to magically appear.
- Food costs are less. Although I'm still against having to do a lot of cooking and cleaning while on a vacation, there's no denying that you can save money by having cereal and fruit or a Danish for breakfast and sandwiches or soup for lunch in your RV.
- More time to explore an area. Sometimes you visit a town or city or National Park and wish you could spend more time discovering the area and seeing more of the sights there. With a RV, you can stay a few extra days without the extended time destroying your budget.

[UPDATE] Automatic Help Bookmarks For Numerous Subjects
By user12607856 on Sep 05, 2008
|I revisited the new version of the auto-bookmarks Python script today. I adjusted the search to return the URL of the search result that had the most keywords from the query string in its title. Note that you only get four search results per query so sometimes this isn't a vast improvement.
I also vastly extended the number of subjects. They now consist of computer languages, tools, areas of computer technology and various other things I'm interested. I've also increased the number of topics per subject that it'll search for. I note that not all of them make sense for some of the topics.
I've made the updated version of the script available. It should be trivial to adjust it for other topics you might be interested in.
I would have embedded mine here, but I've noticed that the Roller blogging software still imposes a maximum blog post size that makes that impossible, so I've placed them in my resources area. You can find them here.

McMunn Named to US Lacrosse Women's National Team
PRINCETON, N.J. (6/16/14) - Rising Princeton senior Erin McMunn has been named to the US women's national team, it was announced by US Lacrosse on Sunday, June 15.
The 38-player roster was selected after a three-day tryout of 81 players who were invited by invitation, that also including rising senior Erin Slifer. The team will train and compete in several exhibition events in preparation for the 2017 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) Women's World Cup in Surrey, England.
"It was pretty unreal to see everyone who was there, and it took a second to find my confidence I think," McMunn said. "They are all such respected and incredibly talented players - I just felt lucky to be able to play with them. It felt a little surreal stepping on the field with these players, and it definitely was and will be a great learning experience for me."
Friday and Saturday morning and afternoons were spent doing drill work with scrimmages at night. Sunday the players scrimmaged all day before the announcement was made.
"For the selection, they just brought everyone into a room and read off the numbers that made it. I remember being really surprised and pretty sure I misheard the woman reading the numbers. I'm just really grateful to learn from such great players and such a great coaching staff. I'm incredibly lucky and very excited for such a great opportunity."
The team will next convene for a training weekend, August 1-3.
A two-time All-America McMunn has been on the Tewaaraton Watch List twice. The 2012 Ivy League Rookie of the Year and 2013 Ivy League Attacker of the Year has led the team in scoring the last two seasons. She scored her 100th career point as a sophomore and tallied her 100th career goal this year. McMunn ranks ninth all-time in scoring at Princeton with 174 points on 102 goals and 72 assists. She is nine assists away from becoming Princeton's all-time assist leader.

The best defense against that funky baby poo odor?
Never have kids. Use a Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail ($79) and trap the offending diapers inside its walls. Reinforced with a rubber seal, a steel exterior, and a safety lock, those grody diapers are staying put until you dump the disposables in the outside trash or take the clothies to the laundry room for a soak. You'll also appreciate the fact that the purdy colors will blend in with your nursery aesthetic (unlike most eyesore diaper cans... *cough*Diaper Genie*cough*).

Creamy Chicken Potpie
An irresistible crisp (but easy) phyllo crust tops these homey individual chicken potpies. Make a double batch and freeze extras to have on hand anytime. Serve with a butterhead lettuce salad with red onion and white-wine vinaigrette.Yield: 4 servings
Active Time: 25
Total Time: 45
- 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 cup sliced shallots
- 1 10- or 12-ounce bag frozen mixed vegetables (2-2 1/2 cups), thawed
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 6 sheets 9-by-14-inch phyllo dough, defrosted (follow package directions)
- Cooking spray (olive oil or canola oil)
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, stirring often, until it turns white, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and shallots, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in vegetables and thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, until hot, 2 to 4 minutes. Pour in 1 3/4 cups broth and bring to a boil. Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup broth and cornstarch in a small bowl and add to the pan. Return to a boil and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in the chicken, sour cream, salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among four 12-ounce ovenproof baking dishes.
- Make 2 stacks of 3 sheets of phyllo each, coating each sheet lightly with cooking spray before stacking. Cut the stacks in half crosswise. Drape one half over each baking dish. Tuck in any overhanging edges.
- Set the potpies on a baking sheet. Bake until the tops are golden and the filling bubbly, 18 to 20 minutes.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 3, wrap airtight and freeze for up to 3 months. Do not thaw before baking; bake at 400°F for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Equipment: four 12-ounce ovenproof baking dishes
- Storage smarts: For long-term freezer storage, wrap your food in a layer of plastic wrap followed by a layer of foil. The plastic will help prevent freezer burn while the foil will help keep off-odors from seeping into the food.

As the vegetable garden winds to an end, I turn my harvest chores to the figs, persimmons and Chinese chestnuts.
Our nut grove is now a sheep pasture, which is prefect for them because they have pasture and shade from all sorts of nut trees.
As it turns out, it looks like my ewes and I share a favorite in the Chinese chestnut. After they eat their daily grain ration they snack on chestnuts that have fallen to the ground.
I first learned to enjoy roasted chestnuts when I lived in France as a college exchange student.
The Harrison County Young Farmers annual fall picnic will be held Sunday, Oct. 2 at the FFA farm off Old Lair Road.Everyone is welcome, just bring a dish to share (meat provided).
To become a member of the Harrison County Young Farmers contact Randy Wade at 234-4803 or join us Sunday at the FFA farm.
You have probably noticed them in early fall along roadsides in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The red, orange and purple color of the sumacs usually begins to show up earlier than others, and it usually hangs around a little longer, too.
You would be hard-pressed to come up with a plant genus that is better for fall color than the sumacs. Whether you're a flameleaf, staghorn or smooth sumac, fall color is your middle name.

New Zealand rescue authorities expressed "grave" fears Thursday for six Americans and a Briton whose historic yacht has been missing for more than three weeks.
The 21-metre (70-foot) wooden schooner Nina, build in 1928, set off from the North Island bound for Newcastle, Australia, on May 29 but has not been heard from since June 4, the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand said.
Rescue coordinator Kevin Banaghan said friends and relatives raised concerns on June 14 and all attempts to contact the vessel had failed.
He said the yacht had a satellite phone, a tracking beacon and an emergency beacon, which had not been activated.
A New Zealand air force Orion conducted extensive searches off the waters between the North Island and the Australian coast this week.
"Unfortunately, no sign of the vessel has been found," Banaghan said, adding that conditions were "very rough" when it went missing, with winds gusting at 110 kilometres per hour (70 mph) and swells of eight metres (26 feet).
"We do hold grave concerns for the Nina and her crew but remain hopeful of a positive outcome."
He said the missing crew comprised six Americans -- three men aged 17, 28 and 58, and three women aged 18, 60 and 73 -- and a 35-year-old British man.
The yacht's last known position was 370 nautical miles off the New Zealand coast.
"No sign of the vessel has been reported by any other vessel in the area since June 4," Banaghan said, adding that New Zealand and Australian rescuers were coordinating on the search.
While the rescue centre did not name anyone aboard the yacht, the Northern Advocate newspaper reported earlier this year that the Nina had participated in a local regatta and was owned by an American named David Dyche III.
It said Dyche, his wife Rosemary and son David, 17, left Florida in 2008 to circumnavigate the world, travelling through the Bahamas, Jamaica, Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica and French Polynesia before arriving in New Zealand.
A Facebook profile in the name of David Dyche III has pictures of the Nina and a post from May 21 apparently referring to the upcoming voyage to Australia with his son.
"Dave is leaving and going to college in the States in July. This is our last trip together crossing the Tasman Sea," it reads.
On May 26, he said he expected rough weather, posting: "The Tasman Sea is shooting gales out like a machine gun, living up to it's reputation.
"We are shooting at leaving out after the first one this week. No doubt we will be dancing with one or two of them."
The Nina is well known in yachting circles and in 1928 because the first US vessel to win Britain's famous Fastnet race, according to an entry on the website sailblogs.com by Rosemary Dyche.
In it, she says the schooner was the flagship of the New York Yacht Club after World War II and her husband bought it in 1988, describing its restoration as "a labour of love".

When you are customizing your travel plans for your yearly vacation in Wildwood Crest New Jersey. You will want to consider many things. The most important thing is your budget for your family. This will determine how long you will be able stay. There are many Wildwood Crest Hotels that can fit into your budget. Some of the things to consider when booking your motel room.
- How many people will be staying in your room? Many of the hotels not only have beds they have fold out sleeper couches that will accommodate at least 2 extra people. I have seen some families let their small children sleep on the floor to help save money and space. One thing to keep in mind is some hotels or motels in the Wildwood Crest area will limit the amount of people staying in a room. The other thing they may do is charge a nightly fee for each person over a certain amount. This fee could range from $8/day to $15/day.
- What kind of amenities would you like at your wildwood hotel? Many people that stay in the wonderful New Jersey beach town want to be close to the beach. The closer the hotel is to the beach the more expensive it will be. If you do not mind walking a couple blocks to the beach you can find cheaper accommodations. Do you have young children who like swimming pools? Many hotels do have outdoor heated pools for their guests. A hotel or motel with a pool will cost slightly more than one without. Would you like to save money and do some of your own cooking? Some hotels offer efficiencies with stoves, kitchenware and BBQ's for guests to cook meals on. This could really save a lot of money on your vacation.
- The final thing that could affect the price of the room in Wildwood NJ is how new the hotel is. The newer the hotel or motel is the more expensive it will be. An older hotel usually has cheaper rates due to the fact they understand that their rooms may not be as nice as a brand new establishment.
When deciding on traveling to Wildwood you may want to consider a Limo Rental NJ to take the pressure off driving the entire family.

Members of the Archives of Internal Medicine editorial board recently wrote,1(p619)
. . . opioid medications for persons with chronic nonmalignant pain, and statin medications for persons without coronary artery disease are . . . examples of the widespread use of medications with known adverse effects despite the absence of data for patient benefit for these indications.
We disagree that "less is more" when it comes to statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In accord with current National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) guidelines, we believe there is compelling evidence to support the use of statins for primary prevention in patients at high risk (Framingham risk score, >10%) for developing coronary heart disease (CHD) over the next 10 years.2
The argument made by the Archives Redberg et al1 is based on the assertion that statin therapy does not decrease near-term (<5-year) all-cause mortality.3 Before disregarding the benefits of statins, we must place this assertion in context—can we expect any drug or lifestyle intervention to reliably produce a survival benefit in asymptomatic individuals within a few years?
An effective primary prevention intervention must either prolong survival or reduce patient suffering. A fundamental goal of primary prevention must also include reduction of morbidity—particularly myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemia-related hospitalizations, and invasive revascularization procedures resulting in over $475 billion in direct and indirect costs in 2009.4 While not always fatal, major vascular events often result in severe pain and lifelong disability.
Three meta-analyses of the large statin primary prevention randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been published since 2009.3,5,6 Among these publications is a 2010 study by Ray et al,3 which included 11 RCTs involving 65 229 participants without known CHD. Using previously unpublished data of strictly primary prevention patients, the authors found that statins resulted in a nonsignificant 9% risk reduction in all-cause mortality (relative risk [RR], 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.83-1.01) over an average treatment duration of 3.7 years.3 Unfortunately, an analysis of cardiovascular morbidity was not undertaken.
A 2009 meta-analysis by Brugts et al5 examined 10 RCTs, 9 of them the same as those analyzed by Ray et al3 but also including the primary prevention subgroup from the Heart Protection Study. A total of 70 388 participants were included, 6% of whom had known CHD but could not be eliminated owing to data constraints. Treatment with statins significantly reduced the risk of all-cause mortality by 12% (odds ratio [OR] 0.88; 95% CI, 0.81-0.96) over a mean follow-up of 4.1 years.5 A significant decrease in all-cause mortality remained after excluding the 3 trials that included participants with known CHD (OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.78-0.97) or after excluding JUPITER (Justification for the Use of Statins in Prevention: an Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin), the largest and most controversial of the primary prevention trials (OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.81-0.97).
A 2011 Cochrane meta-analysis of statins in primary prevention analyzed 14 RCTs (including 16 trial arms) dating from 1994 to 2006, representing a total of 34 272 patients. For inclusion, the authors required enrollment of 10% of participants or less with known CVD. The individual trials had observation periods ranging from 1 to 5.3 years. Treatment with a statin resulted in a 17% reduction in all-cause mortality (RR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.73-0.95).6 The authors cautioned that any conclusions about mortality benefit with statin therapy are limited owing to inconsistencies in individual RCT data quality, study design, and emphasis on combined end points as primary outcomes.
Overall, 2 of the 3 statin primary prevention meta-analyses indicate a modest but statistically significant 12% to 17% RR reduction in all-cause mortality at 5 years of follow-up or less. If the only goal of statin therapy is to prolong near-term (≤5-year) survival, then the evidentiary support would have to be considered less than robust.
The meta-analysis by Brugts et al5 also analyzed the effect of statins on cardiovascular morbidity. These findings suggest a significant decrease in major coronary events (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.61-0.81), major cerebrovascular events (OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.71-0.93), nonfatal myocardial infarction 0.56 (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.41-0.76) and revascularizations (OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.59-0.76).5 These results corroborate those of the Cochrane meta-analysis demonstrating a 34% reduction in revascularizations (RR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.53-0.83) and a 30% reduction in combined fatal and nonfatal CVD end points (RR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.61-0.79).6
Despite these impressive treatment effects on CVD morbidity and modest effects on mortality, the authors of the Cochrane review emphasize that "caution should be taken in prescribing statins for primary prevention among people at low cardiovascular risk."6(p2) We agree that statins are not likely to benefit patients with low coronary risk (10-year Framingham risk score, <10%) but emphasize that it is paramount to make the distinction between low-risk and high-risk primary prevention cohorts. Patients without known CHD but with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and tobacco use are at increased risk for developing CHD and are likely to benefit from statin primary prevention in accord with ATP III guidelines.2

Figuring out the name of a catchy song may soon be as easy as asking Siri to listen and identify it.
Bloomberg reported today that Apple plans to incorporate the song recognition software Shazam into iPhone and iPad devices as a built-in feature of an upcoming version if its iOS operating system. iPhone and iPad users can currently download and use music recognition apps like Shazam and SoundHound to identify songs. This new built-in music recognition feature would operate outside of an app, with users likely using the iOS's personal assistant program Siri to identify songs.
Both Android and Windows Phone devices have song recognition features built in to voice assistants Google Now and Cortana, respectively, while Apple's Siri currently lacks the same functionality. However, Apple's plan to team up with the well-known Shazam would help the new feature immediately compete against other smartphones and help drive music sales through its iTunes Store.
The tech giant has been working to find ways to compete against music services like Pandora and Spotify, which have cut into profits of iTunes music sales by allowing users to stream music via internet radio rather than paying for each song individually, an approach Apple pioneered. The company experimented with its own streaming internet radio service by releasing iTunes Radio as part of iOS 7 last year. While the service has cut into the market share of its competitors, it hasn't contributed significantly to music sales as the company anticipated.
The new music discovery function will reportedly debut as a feature of Apple's upcoming iOS 8 software update for iPhones and iPads. Apple plans to unveil the new version of its mobile operating system at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, with its official release expected to coincide with the debut of the next generation of iPhones later this year.

"Convergence" is a meditation on space, time and memory. Hubble telescope images and abandoned structures are used as reference points to examine the tensions between phenomena in distant parts (and times) of the Universe to the remnants of our manufactured environment. Vivid renderings of galaxies and nebulae are interlaced with monochromatic images of deserted buildings and neglected spaces. The work is at once engaging and disturbing; immediate and evocative.

NEW DELHI: Prasar Bharati is in favour of converting some of Doordarshan's regional channels in the Hindi belt into round-the-clock cable and satellite channels.
These include Chandigarh, Dehradun, Shimla, Ranchi, Hussar, Raipur, and Jammu regional channels. At present, some of these channels are put on the terrestrial network for around four hours when DD National goes off the National Network. At such times, Delhi's Doordarshan Kendra transmits its programmes terrestrially.
Prasar Bharati CEO Jawahar Sircar said at a meeting of the Prasar Bharati Board yesterday that an optimisation committee would study the various aspects related to carrying out of this transition. "The board has given in-principle approval to the scaling up of these channels," an official said.
Sircar said turning them into round-the- clock channels would not require much of additional resources.
The Board is also in favour of monetising the excess land available around fifty radio transmitters all over the country that are not being adequately used to generate revenues for Prasar Bharati. (It is understood that the Government has earlier opposed this on the ground that this was public property and also for security reasons.) Prasar Bharati feels this land can be given out to public sector companies or banks as this will not compromise the security aspects.
Speaking at a World Radio Day function organised by the News Services Division of AIR, Sircar had said yesterday that even the Parliamentary Standing Committee had favoured monetisation of this land.
The Board also recommended that Doordarshan towers could be utilised all over the country to carry FM radio transmission to strengthen the FM network.
Earlier Prasar Bharati had turned four Doordarshan channels from part-time to round-the-clock channels in the Hindi heartland states of Bihar, UP, MP and Rajasthan.
Officials said the Board also favoured putting the historical speeches of national leaders in Prasar Bharati's archives on the internet.

GamersGate - The website
Dead Island at 75%, another "pricing mistake"?
I've noted the game in the front page at 75%, open the game page and the timer states that the offer will continue for 15hours or so, an hour later it is at 50%, why?
This was another pricing mistake?
I don't give a damn. Wouldn't buy it even if it's 1 buck. And if that were the case, it would be a pricing fuck-up. So done with this site unless they sort something out quickly :) But hey, they have to enjoy the holidays first. Then take care of us.
I think they have someone watching the site manually now as they don't trust their automated system. Thing are chaos at the moment.
No point to buy that. They refund Your order without asking - probably. I'll never buy anything here because of that.
By taytothief posted Today
People are complaining that games are too cheap?
no, I'm complaining that a game that was supposed to be at 75% for 15 hours (as said by the timer an hour ago) is now at 50%
yeah another pricing error... I thought 75% off for 15hrs now it's suddenly 50%.
Pricing error on this site never ends... :(
They shouldn't be able to claim that one was a pricing error because I believe Steam sold it for 75% off for a while also so obviously it is possible to make sales at that price. Right now Steam has a bunch of stuff for 75% off.
So far it seems that every pricing error has been a result of the intended discount being applied twice. Items that are supposed to be 50% off end up being 75% off. Bundles that were supposed to be 70% off end up being 91% off (Bethesda New Years Collection).
My guess is that they recently added some sort of back-end interface for submitting sale prices to their website and there`s some scripting error in it that is performing the requested action twice instead of once. Would explain why it`s happening so often.

Meh, they are allowed to change their own prices you know.
You dont know what are the right prices anymore. How can I be certain I am buying something at the right price? and that it wont be taken back without my consent.
I would expect that as long as they aren't going to take a severe loss on the sales, you're probably safe to go ahead and purchase without worrying about your order being cancelled.
After all, there's a big difference between 75% off and 90-97% off. The former is a typical discount for daily deals here and they can obviously handle that, while the latter would be sold at a financial loss and could become an unbearable financial burden on the company if they tried to fulfill all the thousands of orders they likely received.
I, for one, do not want to see GamersGate suffering financially, because if they ever went out of business, there goes everyone's libraries of purchased games.
funny all the people who keep saying they are done with this site ...... yet they are STILL here. /rant
A sale that is ~95% off is probably gonna be a screw up. A 4 pack of a game that normally goes for $50 each on for $5, to good to be true (something got f*d up) where as a 75% or even 80% off sale now that is believable especially at this time of year.
Why are we still comming to site because we still don't have our dam money back and over xmas there were sales of 50% 75% 80% 90 % on steam so why the hell over xmas fantastic deal season wouldn't i think i got a good deal at Gamersgate. now after 4 games in 1 week being incorrectly priced how on earth am i supposed to think any deal on this site is real or not they have seriously impacted my confidence in this site. REMEMBER IS DEAL SILLY SEASON so man up grow some business balls and honor your sales commitment obligations.

Two key posters, and two bits of information related to them have emerged. First, a new one-sheet featuring Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbs character in the upcoming "Fast and Furious 6".
Johnson himself is concerned that his commitments to filming Brett Ratner's "Hercules" might prevent him from participating in "Fast and Furious 7" due to Universal's insistence to rush the sequel into cinemas next Summer (which would mean filming as early as this Summer). Johnson says:
"[A summer shoot] is not possible for me because I'm shooting 'Hercules' this summer starting in six weeks in Budapest. I haven't heard anything about that and I'm pretty sure I would have gotten a phone call pretty early in the morning if that was the real plan."
Next up, FilmDistrict has released the first poster for their remake of "Oldboy" which was first spotted at CinemaCon in Las Vegas the other day.
More interesting though is that an apparent recent test screening review has emerged over at JoBlo.
Said review claims director Spike Lee has been pretty faithful to the original and hasn't pulled back on the wilder elements, especially the ending. "The violence hasn't been downplayed even a little bit as it's just as sick and twisted as the original." Here's hoping.

I've always been a fan of designer Amanda deLeon. Her attention to detail, impeccable craftsmanship and her unique aesthetic is like no other. This past October I had the chance to work with Amanda deLeon for The Junior Committee of the Women's Guild of the New Orleans Opera; where I got to know the person behind the designs. One would think that deLeon would have a mystic persona, somewhat like her "LaNouvelle-Orleans" fall/winter '14 collection. But on the contrary, she's warm, friendly, and a girl on a mission to present her collection at New York Fashion Week.
To be invited to show at New York Fashion Week is a tremendous honor and a huge opportunity. This event will officially mark the designer's debut in the world's fashion capital. "The thought of finally showing at NYFW is both exhilarating and terrifying. This is something that I have daydreamed about for quite some time, and I am still struggling to wrap my head around this giant leap that I am about to take....It's amazing what can happen when you just believe in yourself and dive in face first;" said deLeon.
DeLeon experiences and reflections unfold in her collections. Her creativity stems from a personal process and her designs tell an intimate story. Interestingly, deLeon says she takes her darkest thoughts with the goal of turning them into something beautiful. The premise behind her work is to make an uneasy subject more palatable. Take a look at the slideshow to see her amazing collection presented at the Opera Guild's event "Masquerade: Once Bitten".
Receiving the invitation [to show at NYFW] is a great achievement. However, deLeon needs the assistance of the New Orleans fashion community in bringing this dream to fruition. A donation to her Kickstarter Campaign (there are several options to choose from) can help her quest of showcasing in February at New York Fashion Week.

Four months after I introduced Dolby Labs (NYSE: DLB ) as a key core stock for your portfolio, its shares are only 8% higher. But at one point during that period, its shares had nearly reached $70 a stop, leaving the company now roughly 15% below its peak. What gives?

What happened?
Well, Christmas happened -- or didn't. Many retailers had been counting on consumers to buy Internet-ready and 3-D TVs. But having spent a lot of money during the last upgrade cycle, customers weren't in any mood to spend on big screens again, and revenue and earnings plummeted.
It also seems that retailers got so promotional at the start of the holiday season that consumers felt little need to shop closer to Christmas, and the feel-good buzz quickly wore off.
Also, Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL ) iPad became hot. Really hot. It sold more than 7.3 million units in the last three months of 2010, leading one Goldman Sachs analyst to suggest that the tablet computer would be a Dolby killer by cannibalizing the latter company's PC market.
Now hear this
Seems to me that Goldman's analysts need to widen their lens. Some 80 tablet models were unveiled in recent weeks, and many contain Dolby tech. ZTE introduced one with Dolby Surround 3.0, while Acer is going with Dolby Mobile. Other manufacturers, including the well-received Xoom from Motorola Mobility (NYSE: MMI ) , feature the AAC format. So does the iPad. Dolby, as a co-developer of the codec, receives royalties for the technology, albeit at a lower rate.
In addition, Dolby still has superior growth prospects in mobile communications, video, digital cinema, and 3-D. The sound specialist partnered with Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX ) ; Sonic Solutions (Nasdaq: SNIC ) has selected Dolby technology to stream movies; Dolby Mobile is now on more than 60 handset models from LG, NTT DOCOMO, Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) , and HTC; and it also owns 30% of the 3-D cinema market and 25% of digital cinema.
And as the world increasingly goes digital with its TV signals, Dolby's on half the global TV shipments and 30% of global set-top boxes. I haven't even touched on gaming, automotive, and Via; emerging markets like India and China; the upgrade cycle for Blu-ray; Dolby Media Generator and Volume; and more.
The bottom line
True, Apple is the tablet computer market right now. But Dolby is set to take on the broad swath of tablets coming to market, and it has other opportunities before it too numerous to mention. If Wall Street decides that it wants to give us more buying opportunities, I say we should oblige it.

Physical businesses should continually remind the community of their existence and engage in community outreach to help ensure a pipe...

Another year is ending and 21012 is hours away. 2012 is said to mark a New Age. To some it is the End Times, for others the Age of Aquarius. Some believe the end of the Mayan Calendar is simply an astronomical occurrence while others define it as the end of civilization as we know it; still others say that while it marks an end it is a gateway to a new beginning of peace and cooperation among all people.
Whatever you may believe, isn't now the time to enrich your life by affirming and committing to your Inspired Life Vision. At the very least, living your vision offers you the possibility of greater joy, fulfillment and happiness. And, at best, as you put your stake in the ground for living a more peaceful and loving life, your consciousness generating your actions contributes to the collective consciousness and love grows and peace expands for all.
So as you declare and affirm your resolutions for the New Year – dream big, give voice to your heart song and say YES to living your inspired life.
And to honor the New Year I am happy to share with you a recording Ryan Weiss and I recently made on New Year's Resolutions. This is the first of weekly conversations we have committed to record as part of Bridging the Gap: Conversations Across Generations.
