Lenntek Pro Series with Balanced Armature Professional In-ear Monitor (IEM)
"My Altec Lansing 716s are getting old and my Sennheiser HD 600s will need new cords shortly, so when I saw the Lenntek Pros at Costco.com for $50, I couldn't pass them up.

Time and time again, we have discussed the many reasons why outsourcing your printing and mailing will save you time and money. But let's say you've already taken this advice and now you're looking to cut costs even more.
Even if you're working with a print partner, you may be spending more than you need.
For example, are you currently using pre-printed forms? If you're willing to forego some color, you may be able to switch to printing "on the fly". Nix those expensive, custom forms and watch the savings add up!
Do your invoices or statements contain multiple pages? If so, you may be able to duplex print some of those pages. This will save you money on both processing and paper and possibly even on postage depending how many pages you can eliminate.
We can all agree that saying money is a good thing. Make sure you speak to your print partner to see if any of these changes can help your bottom line.

Today I received an email celebrating my anniversary with Examiner. I've been "here" 3 years, but I have only posted a few times. In one of my posts I promised a multi-part in depth analysis that I never provided. Today, I thought I'd celebrate my anniversary.
As we all shift our attention to the New Year and things we'd like to change, I found this email reminding me of my past blogging encouraged me to finally write this blog entry I've been waiting to write for quite some time. As a yoga practitioner, ethics are very important to me, and I believe it is important to be open and honest in communication.
At one point I got quite busy and hadn't updated my blog in a while. As a result, I received a note that my status was changed. As a result of my inactive status, the fine print said I lost my rights to my work and I would no longer receive payments. Whether this is still true, I don't know... Shortly after this I received message after message promoting a lack of content. I found this site because I wanted to write about yoga. Instead, I am being pushed by a highly contrived payment structure to produce very little content but to spread it across many, many pages. Top ten list? Picture slideshow? Perhaps I could write one word per page and blog that way? I am also strongly encouraged to cross-reference other Examiner material. The idea is that you get to view a greater amount of advertising each time you keep clicking. I'm sure someone has a study that shows if you do a top ten list (Examiner will actually help provide some of the content) that people will likely click all the way through. That could be dozens and dozens of ads all for the benefit of Constant Reader! I have no idea if editors really read this stuff. Perhaps they just skim the first and last paragraphs. I am curious to see if this article gets greenlighted, let alone stays up on the site. This should prove an interesting writing experiment.
So, happy anniversary to me! My content is not considered valuable, nor is it considered mine, nor would I be compensated for it if it was. For the last couple of years I've written a number of other blogs on a number of other sites instead due to these policies. Some of these blogs include Ask Yoga Nerd and Type A Yoga, if you are curious enough to Google. I've even written for my local Patch sites in Martinez and Pleasant Hill on subjects including plus-sized yoga. My purpose is to present information to an interested populace. It is not to provide fodder for B-roll and royalty-free stock photo companies so that advertisers can give Examiner more money. But my real motivation for writing is to invite readers to explore and question the world around them, particularly that which is being presented to them with such an underlying agenda. Hopefully readers will still exist in the future.
In conclusion, in order to get over writer's block, here's a list (formatted for one page):
- Identify your purpose for writing generally.
- Identify your values and what you want to accomplish by writing.
- Keep engaged in the "writing world" through email subscriptions and social media. For instance, if I'd unsubscribed from Examiner, I wouldn't have been reminded of my third anniversary.
Good luck writing your truth in the New Year!

Edit Article
How to Have Fun on Club Penguin Without Being a Member
This article will show you how to have Fun on Club Penguin Without Being a Member. Members of Club Penguin seem like they have a lot of fun. They get to buy things and have special parties.
1Play all the games until you are really good at them. Sled Racing is a great game to pass time!
2Challenge your friends to a friendly game of Card-Jitsu.
3Make buddies, but think quality over quantity. Find buddies who will be online and will hang out with you regularly. You can have up to 501 buddies on your list.
- To add a buddy, click on the penguin you want for a friend, and their player card will pop up. Click on the little smiley face on the card, and select "yes" when a box pops up. Wait for the buddy to respond. Most of the time, they say yes!
4Befriend one or two buddies who are members. You can get invited to fashion shows, parties, etc.
5Challenge your buddies with games like hide-and-seek. It's fun to go into club penguin and hide from someone.
6Find clothes, or wearables. Go to the Dojo and earn wearable belts, go to parties and pick up free items, or find free items around the island (e.g., the Book Room, where you can get a friendship bracelet).
7Make videos on Club Penguin and become a famous penguin! You will become popular, and some members will even let you into member stuff for being famous!
8Ask your member buddies if they need help throwing a party.
9Send invitations to all your buddies to play Sled Racer! Ridge Run is fun to do with a few people.
10Dance with your buddies and try to "tip the iceberg."
11Try to dance funny on Club Penguin! All the members will think you're cool.
13Adopt 2 puffles,take care of them, take them to puffle parties, and walk them around! Puffles are a fun way to enjoy CP.
14If a member is mean, then gather a few non-member buddies and protest!
15Go on a non member shopping spree! Make sure you have more than 2000 coins and start shopping for backgrounds, flags, colors and puffles.
16Go onto a different language server and/or ultimate safe chat if you are made fun of and discriminated against. Nonmember discrimination is prevalent mainly in English, maybe Portuguese regular chat servers. You could have fun learning a new language or being creative with alternate communication. And if you're in Ultimate Safe Chat, it's hard for other people to make fun of you!
17Have fun! Invite your friends to your igloo and have a small party! Chat, play games, earn coins, buy colors, backgrounds, find hidden pins, it's almost endless,
18Get a baby! It's possible. Dress in your best clothing. Make yourself a peach color and wear a belt/shirt. Look for a non-member baby be nice and adopt!
19Be a robber! Include some of the following in your outfit: the color black, black sunglasses, ninja mask, a black belt, or a black puffle. You can also wear a full robber outfit (striped shirt and pants with the black robber mask and a money bag). Sometimes penguins notice and try to arrest you -- it's fun!
20Try earning stamps and see if you can collect them all. It's a fun and good way to pass time.
21Visit the EPF Agency. There is a lot to do in the command room. You can play system defender, do a new mission and talk in a meeting with other penguins! If No one's talking to being quiet. You can always reawaken old club penguin times by playing some PSA missions!
Community Q&A
Unanswered Questions
I can't use my card how can I play without member ship?
Ask a Question
- If someone is really mean, report them.
- If members ever do make fun of you say " Well at least I'm dressed, unlike you. You're over dressed" That should annoy them.
- Some would say participating in the fan-community is fun, try that!
- ONLY adopt non-member babies. The member ones won't like you (no offense).
- Girlfriends/boyfriends are cool to hang with!
- Don't bother your member buddy/buddies all the time. Would you want someone following you on CP everyday, begging for you to invite them to parties?
- Unfortunately, non-members are left out of parties, adopting babies, etc. But don't let this bother you! You are an awesome penguin and it doesn't matter how big your igloo is or how many clothes you have. Meet a lot of friends, play games, and basically just be yourself and have fun! You don't need spoiled obnoxious babies drooling or clinging to you anyway, and who cares if you can't wear a wig? A lot of members are more noobish than non members, a lot more than you think. Really, "stepping out of limos" in the pet shop and going to "VIP Members only" parties is just a sad cry for attention. And think about this: everyone used to be a non members sometime. Including members who brag about all their coins and furniture.
Things You'll Need
- A Club Penguin account
- A computer with Internet access
- At least 2 buddies (you don't have to have a lot and remember, quality over quantity!)
- Adobe Flash Player

13 Ways of Looking at an Addict
Addicts interest and bewilder us. We see them as all alike, but we know they're not. Sometimes we think of them as diseased, sometimes as simply out of control. Their distinctive manner of being ill calls out to screenwriters and novelists, and sometimes doctors.
Michael Stein, M.D., is Professor of Medicine, Health Services, Policy and Practice at Brown University, where he runs a large NIH-funded laboratory that studies risk-taking and substance abuse. He is the award-winning author of two books of nonfiction, "The Addict" and "The Lonely Patient," and six novels. "Monogamy," a new novel, is forthcoming.
This talk is sponsored by the Department of Psychology, the Office of Health Professions, Student Development, Wellness Programming, Health Services, and the Counseling Center.

Right click the link below to download the interview with Rick Shalvoy.
Rick Shalvoy Interview – Formerly Worked for SmithKline Diagnostics
Can the test currently used for diagnosing ebola determine if someone is actually sick with ebola virus?
The answer is in the audio interview above that I did with a long time customer Rick Shalvoy who used to work with SmithKline Diagnostics.
But he was basically forced out because he realized his company was completely misusing the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test. He was constantly harassed and told not to speak out by his superiors. So instead of getting fired he resigned.
The interview tells his story and why at present there's no way to actually determine a true viral load number when using the PCR test.
And if I remember correctly there currently is no test that can give you a viral load number.
So if you've been given a test that tells you're viral load numbers realize those results are not possible. It's just another scam used to scare people into taking toxic drugs by the Medical Mafia.

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Wallowa County Records Inventory
Probate Registers
Series records the actions taken by the county's probate court. Information includes case numbers, estate or deceased's name, administrator's or executor's name, dates and types of papers filed, and memoranda and court orders listed by dates of appointment of administrator or executor. Series may also be referred to as probate journals, dockets, or records of actions. Over the years probate jurisdiction has been transferred from the county court to the circuit court in most counties. However, the county courts in Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Malheur, Sherman, and Wheeler Counties continue to hear probate cases. In 1986 circuit courts with probate jurisdiction began recording basic case information on the Oregon Judicial Information Network (OJIN). This network functionally replaced probate dockets and journals previously maintained by the courts. The transition to full use of OJIN by all circuit courts in Oregon took approximately two years. Contact the trial court administrator for access to OJIN. Portions of these records may be restricted.
Wallowa County joined the Oregon Judicial Information Network (OJIN) in 1987.

Probate Docket, 1896-1905 (1 volume);

This is a very slight variant on the question order information enough to guarantee 1-isomorphism? that I asked a while back, with an answer in the negative.
Background repeated:
I define a 1-isomorphism between two groups as a bijection that restricts to an isomorphism on every cyclic subgroup on either side. There are plenty of examples of 1-isomorphisms that are not isomorphisms. For instance, the exponential map from the additive group of strictly upper triangular matrices to the multiplicative group of unipotent upper triangular matrices is a 1-isomorphism. Many generalizations of this, such as the Baer and Lazard correspondences, also involve 1-isomorphisms between a group and the additive group of a Lie algebra/Lie ring.
Consider the following function F associated to a finite group G. For divisors $d_1$, $d_2$ of G, define $F_G(d_1,d_2)$ as the number of elements of G that have order equal to $d_1$ and that can be expressed in the form $x^{d_2}$ for some $x \in G$.
New question: If G is a finite abelian group and H is a finite (not necessarily abelian) group such that $F_G = F_H$, is it necessary that there is a 1-isomorphism between G and H.
For the original question, I had not insisted that one of the groups be abelian, and Tom Goodwillie provided a counterexample with both groups non-abelian of order 32.
The reason for my interest is as follows: I want to determine which groups are 1-isomorphic to abelian groups. This will help me with exploring some generalizations of the Lazard correspondence. To do this properly, I would need to construct a combinatorial structure (such as the directed power graph) that stores all the information of the group up to 1-isomorphism. However, constructing this structure and then verifying whether the graphs thus constructed for two groups are isomorphic is computationally somewhat harder. On the other hand, $F_G$ can be stored easily and we can quickly check for two groups whether their $F$s coincide.
Apart from this computational perspective, the question is also of academic interest to me.

It was the deepest run ever for the Seward County baseball team. But the way it ended will left a deep void for a team which experienced a successful season. Potomac State, West Virginia scored all 12 of their runs with two outs in a 12-11 win over Seward Tuesday afternoon at Sam Suplizio Field in Grand Junction. The Saints committed two errors and allowed six unearned runs in the loss. The Saints finish 46-20 and sixth in the JUCO World Series.
The "Guys in Green" handed their ace Logan Hall leads of 5-0 into the bottom of the third and 8-3 into the bottom of the fourth. A two RBI double by Willie Gustin in the second gave the Saints a 4-0 lead. Jordan Dallalio followed up a second inning double off the wall in center with a solo homer to right in the third to make it 5-0 Saints. The Catamounts scored three unearned runs in the third after an E-4 and a controversial "safe" call at first base on an attempted Saints double play.
Seward got the three runs right back when Jake Barrios ripped an inside the park home run to left center when the Potomac State center field dove for the ball. The team leading eighth homer of the year for the Saints shortstop gave the Saints an 8-3 lead. The Saints could not hold the lead. The Catamounts plated two in the fourth and five in the fifth to take a 10-9 lead. A bases loaded three RBI double by a .185 hitter in the nine hole of Potomac State's order gave the Catamounts the lead.
JT Bean led off the sixth with a triple and tied the game on a Tyler Hill sacrifice fly. Seward took the lead in the top of the seventh when Willie Gustin doubled home Eddie Williams. But Potomac State (37-11) chased home two more two out runs in the bottom of the seventh to lead 12-11. Seward's Tanner Rainey and Gustin singled with two outs in the top of the ninth but Barrios struck out to end the season.

How do I download/move apps to SD card?
cjslman 16 Dec 2012, 08:55 posted on 0 0
I have an LG Optimus L7 (Android 4.0.3). When I download apps to the L7, they get placed on the internal memory, not on the SD card. With my past smartphone (LG Optimus One) I could move the apps to the SD Card, but i can't find that option any more on my L7. Any ideas how get the downloaded apps to the SD Card? Thanks.

My suggestion is Phone to Phone Transfer. The program special designed to quickly and conveniently transfer all apps from Android phones or tablets to another.
Android transfer come from :
Hope that helps!!


text: I find this site very helpful and interesting as I am new to the carry community. While I had, and taught, weapons training in the military (Army-enlisted/70-72, and NG/AR officer/73-82); have hunted and used guns all my life (NRA Life and now Endowment member); and shot competition sporting clays for 20 years, at this time my primary interest is in the area of defending a small congregation from human predators both armed and unarmed. As a Christian I take the use of lethal force seriously and especially when in a "church" group setting. I am leading the effort to prepare our church family and appreciate any advice on this subject by those who respect life, law, and God's word. While nothing can substitute for using good judgement, I believe God approves the use of deadly force by our "rulers" and those who follow the laws of the land to save and protect life which is threatened by the ungodly (Rom 13:4).

Shocking Poor Service From Hostgator
Ok so we have a problem with our shared server experience using Hostgator that now stretches back from the 6th December. We received the ticket confirmation the same day and since then nothing has been actioned. No support, no contact, no follow up. NOTHING.
The issue is to do with compromised sites and continual hacking of our .htaccess files. We've done all we can with changing passwords, updating plugins and themes, installing anti-virus, running scans etc etc. We suspect it's an issue on the server itself. We desperately need Hostgator support to look at this issue and advise. A second attempt at Live Chat only resulted in a promise to escalate..still nothing happened.
Dec 19th We're about to go back to Live Chat once more…
- A few tweets to @hgsupport and waiting for a response
And finally a response. They had responded 4 days ago to the ticket but we never received notification although the response was in the portal.support of Hostgator. Even so it took 9 days for a response!
What's the prediction for Hostgator surviving longer term when their service levels are so low? And of course when we receive their customer satisfaction survey which is simply a 2 question one using the NPS question, guess where our score will be…? Zero.
It will certainly take an enormous effort from them for us to have our score shift from a detractor to a passive let alone a promoter.
What's your view?
Building A Brand Is No Longer Enough–You Must Create A Movement
- At December 15, 2014
- By Cheryl Gregory
- In Blog, Customer Experiences
- 0
I often read articles for Fast Company and find them very thought provoking and interesting. I came across this one today;'Building A Brand Is No Longer Enough–You Must Create A Movement' by Austin Allison.
In my opinion brands that provide enjoyment are already showing the way of success now and in our future. Brands are already taking the dullness out of the workplace. Fun is a great way of enhancing the Customer Experience, associating fun with the brand also attempts to create the emotional connection between the consumer and the brand itself.
This 'trend 'towards better service levels and creating a passionate movement is in response to human behaviour. With the increasing amount of technology in the lives of our consumers we need more than ever to create that personality in our brand that makes us stand out from our competitors .
An excellent level of service was previously for the elite, the celebrity, the people with money, now this has very much shifted to the mainstream of our society.
As spending power increase and choices become greater, consumers have a ever higher expectation that every purchasing opportunity should deliver a degree of 'delight'.
Just as Richard Branson has taken an existing product offer and repackaged it with that extra mile, easy- to- use services and friendly staff with great success, we too must have that unique narrative.
The brand experience and 'creating a passionate movement' is created only by having a 'brand vision'. Every resulting perception and insight will denigrate your brand.
To engage the consumer the start up brand must understand how its audience will be interacting with the whole brand environment and experience. Then the customer journey must be scripted to follow this path, the whole story; from the retail experience to the product itself, the services the price and the follow up customer care and interaction.
So, until your brand start up makes that connection between what is said and what is done, form the board level to the on the ground operations ,creating that passionate movement where all are involved and all opinions matter the consumer will continue to have a love/hate relationship with your brand that will not move forward and beyond in the future.
American Hunter Kills BMW Customer Service Agent
This post describes a recent experience I had which falls outside of the norm and one which on the face of it I would have expected to have been resolved fairly easily. The resolution came from a completely unexpected source. Stick with me on the post title – nobody was hurt in the exchange at least not physically although the reputation of one brand was damaged in my eyes.
You will also learn about the three key ingredients that drive a great customer experience.
The Scenario
My cherished BMW convertible spends it's time garaged most of the year in our holiday home in SW France. It's the ideal car for touring whilst on vacation enabling passengers and driver to enjoy balmy evenings with the roof down. However it has a fault that has developed where the tyres aren't lasting as long as they should and so need replacing more frequently than the norm. A visit to my local French BMW dealer is about an hour away and without the use of a courtesy car or collection and delivery service it makes any use of the dealer an inconvenience. I've also had poor service from them in the past when the car needed a service and belt change during previous holidays.
So to make life easier (so I'd hoped) I opted for a geometry check and adjustment by the local tyre centre. However they were unable to correctly align the geometry and hence resolve the tyre wear as the adjustments had reached their maximum point and the geometry was still out. My French isn't good enough to fully understand what the technician at the centre was saying when this was explained to me especially as he was using jargon in French. I don't know if the car needs new control arm bushes etc. but they did leave me with a print out of the alignment readings before and after adjustment, but of course it's all in French.
So I needed to find someone to help me understand the problem from the data and then ascertain what needs to be done to fix it. At least then if and when I do visit the BMW dealer then I can go armed with a better understanding of the technical issues and what it will mean in terms of cost.
So I embarked upon a search for a translation of the terms appearing on the data sheet provided by the tyre centre from French to English. Google gave me nothing. So I contacted BMW UK Customer Service, several ex-pat English speaking mechanics working in France, various forums, some UK tyre centres operating across Europe and several alignment equipment companies that specialize in vehicle alignment and that export their products globally. One even had offices in Canada so perhaps they would have French speaking Canadians working there I thought.
Most contacts responded with less than useful advice but two in particular stand out for the contrast with which they rose to the challenge of helping someone in need.
BMW Under Delivers On My Expectations
As a long term BMW owner having driven dozens of new cars I was unsure of the service I would receive from BMW as I'd never before dealt directly with BMW UK as a customer. All my previous needs had been met by the dealers in the UK who had sold and serviced my cars. So this time it would be the Customer Service Department of BMW in the UK that would need to respond.
When I contacted them via their website I received the following response, 4 days later. I've added in bold some thoughts I had as I read this response:
Thank you for your online communication dated September 5, 2014. I have investigated your enquiry and I am sorry to inform you that BMW UK do not offer a translation service. Due to this it will not be possible for me to translate the French geometry terms (but with some extra effort you could find somebody that can). I can only recommend contacting the tyre fitting centre where you had the work carried out to request that an English speaking representative can translate the terms for you (wow! as if I couldn't have worked this out for myself. I'm glad you thought of that one). I apologise that I have not been able to assist you on this matter.
I have also been unable to find your vehicle in the BMW UK Database with the registration you have provided. Therefore would it be possible for you to provide me with a copy of your V5 document so that I can update our database accordingly. (Yes it would be possible but I'm struggling to see how this helps me so why should I bother?) Once again thank you for contacting BMW UK.
American Hunter Kills BMW Customer Service Agent
Now contrast this with the response from American based Hunter Engineering which designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of passenger car and truck service equipment including Computer-based wheel alignment systems.
I copied and and pasted the same message I had sent to all options and sent it via Hunter's website and within one hour I received this response. Again I've added in bold some thoughts I had as I read their email:
Thanks for reaching out! My name is Madeline and I work in Hunter's Marketing Department. I will personally ensure that this is taken care of by our Translation Department by Monday. I hope this time frame suits you! Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments!" (Wow! Speed of response to acknowledge the issue, a personal commitment and ownership and a deadline offered too! What a great first response – somebody on the case.)
What then followed was an exchange of emails asking me for further information, followed by involvement of Hunter's Technical Training Manager, Doug Felt who provided some technical input. I also had some images sent to me as well as a translation by Tom Ksiazek (Hunter's Regional Manager – Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand) who was travelling at the time and said:
I have received your print out; I just arrived in the UK this AM and will be with our UK Distributor Thursday and Friday. I will (over the next days) configure an aligner with this style print out (in English) and send it to you so that you have an "English" template to compare your French print out with.
Within the time it took for BMW UK to respond with "Sorry Can't Help", Hunter employees had worked together to provide me with exactly what I needed and further more two weeks later I received some additional images of the adjustment points to help me further. Superb service. And from an organisation I have never done business with nor am likely to ever do business with again in the future.
Lessons Learnt
I have written before of the need for plenty of AOK in order for the customer to be WOWed by your service. Attitude, Opportunity and Knowledge. Both BMW and Hunter were given the same Opportunity, but Hunter employees seemed to be driven by a different Attitude that drove them to make the most of this opportunity.
In her final email to me Madeline says:
Hunter Engineering is not only dedicated to customer service for our immediate customer base, but passionate about informing vehicle owners and prolonging the health of their vehicles. Our company culture is committed to going above and beyond, and I am truly happy to be a part of it.
Everyone at Hunter also possessed ample Knowledge too about the levels of empowerment they have and how to go about seeking a solution even if they themselves didn't actually have the direct answer. They knew how to make it come about. They knew the importance of going the extra mile.
So that is why the title of this post is a true reflection of the experience and why in the battle to impress and go the extra mile American Hunter Kills BMW Customer Service Agent for the service they offered.
And Hunter's ammunition was little more than the application of AOK – lethal in your armory for the battle to win the war for customer loyalty.
I'm sorry that I can't make a decision to purchase Hunter equipment so I hope in some way this post helps spread the word of how great their service was.
How easyJet Passengers Are Facing A 'Bonk' in Their Customer Experience
Firstly, I will explain for those unfamiliar to biking terms that 'Bonk' is cycling's classic term for hitting a brick wall.
My eldest son is into Mountain Biking in a 'big' way. Not only does he ride downhill extensively in Europe, but he has his own company specialising in titanium suspension springs for Mountain Bikes and nearly new bike parts.
Recently he noticed that easyJet have changed their sports equipment weight allowance for passengers with bikes impacting their customer experience.
Previously, with an appropriate 32kg maximum weight, a bicycle could be well packaged and transported in a padded bicycle bag.
Unfortunately, they have now have reduced the maximum weight by 9kg! The maximum weight is now just 23kg, meaning it's almost impossible to pack a bicycle without coming in over weight!
We are exactly not sure why easyJet have reduced the maximum weight allowance for a bicycle or even why they have reduced the maximum weight by so much?
We would assume that the majority of customers who travel with bicycles are either mountain bikers going on holiday, or cyclists with touring bikes. We are not sure if they are precisely aware of how much a bicycle weighs, so here are so facts and figures;
- A full suspension mountain bike on average will weigh around 18kg.
- A touring bike with panniers on average will weigh around 23kg.
Now, with the 23kg maximum weight, for a full suspension mountain bike, that leaves just 5kg to package and securely box the bike, which is required as per their criteria which states:
"Bicycles are permitted for carriage provided that specific criteria is met: The bicycle must be packaged in a bicycle box or bag"
5kg to package and securely box a bike is simply not enough. The average bicycle bag will weigh around 7kg on its own!
Let me break it down for you..
18kg mountain bike + 7kg bicycle bag = 25kg (2kg overweight!!)
A 2kg overweight bag will incur a £20 penalty fee at the airport, each way swell!
The easyJet Experience Begins
So, imagine you are going on a mountain bike holiday to the Alps. As a Customer of easyJet you will have to pay £70 return alone just to take the bike, then you pay an additional £40 worth of penalty fees at the airport for being 2kg overweight! This will surely encourage passengers (customers) to drive to their holiday destinations instead of flying or choose another carrier.
Because of the new maximum weight allowance, many of easyJet's customers will have to replace their bicycle bags for a cardboard box instead, which offer little or no protection if mishandled.
In turn, surely they will most likely see an increase in damaged bicycles, insurance claims, complaints and unhappy customers, which can only be bad news for their Customer charter, something that they surely don't want?
My son a regular easyJet flyer recently averted incurring the £40 worth of overweight baggage penalty fees on taking his mountain bike with him by resorting to using a cardboard box – which has resulted in a slightly damaged bike.
He also removed some of the parts from the bike frame itself and put carried these in his hand luggage instead. (Surely more dangerous than in the hold – but 'still' on the same flight!) He actually removed the bicycle from the box at the check in desk and did this in front of the check – in assistant to make a point of how ridiculous this whole thing was.
Unless they decide to increase the maximum weight allowance for bicycles back to a reasonable weight, they are going to notice a decrease in customers during the summer season if they have to spend extra for those overweight baggage penalty fees.
At the time of writing this post easyJet have acknowledged the issue on their Facebook page so it will be interesting to see how this develops. We'll keep you posted.
But it does beg the following questions for other CEX managers:
- What policies have you changed that are causing a negative impact upon the customer's experience?
- When you change policies does anyone actually consider the impact upon the customer journey?
- Are you about to make any policy changes and if so who is standing in the customer's shoes to consider the impact?
This change in policy has so far earned easyJet our One Odd Shoe Award the first of 2014. Let's see if they resolve it and win a GoldenShoe Award instead.
It Didn't Take Long For easyJet To Back Pedal
Since releasing this post we have received an important update from easyJet which we received this within 24 hours of our post being published.
Their bike weight limit is being raised to 32kg from Saturday 11th January. Although it will take a number of weeks to be applied to their systems no customers will be charged an excess for bikes between 23kg and 32kg.
Thanks to easyJet for taking the trouble to let us know of their change of heart, this moves them into our category of a Golden Shoe Award. On this occasion it's awarded not for back pedalling (no pun intended) but for the rapid response they took and the fact the change is in-line with customer feedback.
Managers Are Just Not Creative Enough – True or False?
On a personal level I am from a design background and so use my creative skills to design and develop various business initiatives. However, I find that there are very few people in the business world that can tap into their creative talent and very few people actually 'doodle' or 'sketch'.
As a professional, I sketch almost daily, within team meetings, client interactions; brain storming sessions, the list goes on… The entire wall of our studio is covered with sketches, mapping out everything from phone conversations to rough training activities, to the more serious presentations for large corporates.
As business continues to drive positive change in the world, creativity is an increasingly essential part of organizational success. Encouraging creativity is a vital function of good leadership.
Why Sketch or Doodle?
In the first instance scribbling and sketching can release you from getting bogged down in technology and focus you on finding the perfect business solution, so freeing you to take risks that you might not otherwise have taken.
I love mood boards because they help us understand our clients, their objectives and how they'd like their brand to feel. It's so important to us that we work with the client to identify what feels right as well as looks great, and mood boards really unlock the gap between what a client says they want (or even thinks they want) and what they actually want.
Our vision boards on our studio walls are our most powerful way that we visualise our goals and keep 100% focused on everything we do.
Books To Read And Videos To Watch.
In her book 'Game Storming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rule breakers, and Change Makers' Sunni Brown writes how creating an environment for creative thinking and innovation can be a daunting challenge to any organisation. Her book includes more than 80 games to help you break down barriers, communicate better, and generate new ideas, insights, and strategies. There is a unique collection of games that encourage engagement and creativity while bringing more structure and clarity to the workplace. I highly recommend it as a toolkit.
In her TED talk Sunny goes on to explain the benefits of doodling and even offers an alternative to the definition found in the Oxford Dictionary:
"Doodling is really to make spontaneous marks to help yourself think. That is why millions of people doodle. Here's another interesting truth about the doodle: People who doodle when they're exposed to verbal information retain more of that information than their non-doodling counterparts. We think doodling is something you do when you lose focus, but in reality, it is a pre-emptive measure to stop you from losing focus. Additionally, it has a profound effect on creative problem-solving and deep information processing."
Background History of The 'Doodle'
"In the 17th century, a doodle was a simpleton or a fool, as in "Yankee Doodle." In the 18th century, it became a verb, and it meant to swindle or ridicule or to make fun of someone. In the 19th century, it was a corrupt politician. And today, we have what is perhaps our most offensive definition, at least to me, which is the following: "To doodle officially means to dawdle, to dilly dally, to monkey around, and to make meaningless marks, to do something of little value, substance or import and,"my personal favorite, "to do nothing." No wonder people are averse to doodling at work!
According to Linda Silverman, author of 'Upside-Down Brilliance: The Visual Spatial Learner Upside-Down Brilliance'.
The Visual-Spatial Learner, 37% of the population are visual learners. If so many people learn better visually, we can expect, then, that some of them learn better by putting a speech, lecture or meeting into visual and tangible form through pictures or doodles, rather than by being provided with pictures or doodles (which would be the product of another person's mind).
Humans have always had a desire to visually represent what's in their minds and memory and to communicate those ideas with others. Even early cave paintings were a means of interacting with others, allowing ideas and images to move from one person's mind to another's. The purpose of visual language has always been to communicate ideas to others. A sketch or a doodle is to, visually commit to memory a concept that we want to both empathize and interact with.
Recently I came across a book called 'Back Of The Napkin: Solving Problems And Selling Ideas With Pictures' by Dan Roam. Roam's original book provides a whole new way of looking at business problems and ideas. He demonstrates how thinking with pictures can help you discover and develop new ideas, solve problems in unexpected ways, and dramatically improve your ability to share your insights with others.
He quotes;"What if there was a way to more quickly look at problems, more intuitively understand them, more confidently address them, and more rapidly convey to others what we've discovered? What if there was a way to make business problem solving more efficient, more effective, and — as much as I hate to say it — perhaps even more fun? There is. It's called visual thinking, and it's what this book is all about: solving problems with pictures."
But just how do working walls in a business environment become an invaluable commodity in design thinking? Tim Brown, president and CEO of IDEO says
"Design thinking is a human-centred approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success."
The Conclusion.
Fundamentally if we all think like designers we will actually be able to transform the way our organizations develop their services, processes, and strategy. We can show the way to people who aren't trained as designers to use creative tools to address a vast range of everyday business challenges.
Creativity can be a great strength in the culture of an organisation, its approach and alignment can be at the very heart and soul of success in any discipline or industry.
Creative thinking in business starts with having empathy for your customers (whether they're internal or external), and you certainly can't get that just sitting behind a desk! .
.So why not use those yellow Post-its and marker pens to creatively solve each problem your organisation has. Go on a journey map it on the walls. So, what are you waiting for? Doodle!

This has been going on for almost a year. I also think there is a strong possibility of JNJ or ABT buying this company. I feel once everyone feels it's about time to let this stock fly, that's when it will fly!I also feel that the opportunity is here now, and they will let the stock fly at any moment. Once it start going up, it will take off rapidly without any warning!Accumulate as much as you can now!

Keith Arnold 2014 Congressional Candidate Washington District 8
Biography of Keith Arnold from Keith Arnold for Congress
[2012 Bio] I was born in Alorton, Illinois in the southwest part of the state. I grew up there and graduated from East St. Louis School District, the local school district there. I attended the University of Illinois and graduated with a B.S. in Accountancy.
My last job in the Alorton area was at the IRS in St. Louis,MO. I started with the IRS in 1999 during the Clinton Administration. I was proud to be in federal public service during the Clinton era. However, after the Bush mob stole the 2000 election and the White House, they destroyed public service. They made the federal government into a public disservice that only gives lip service to the public. Therefore, I had to look for an employer that was still interested in serving the public.
I wanted to stay in government and started looking at state governments for employment. The state of Washington looked like it cared about public service and treated employees well. I watched the Washington State website and any news about them for a few months and liked there treatment of the public and their employees. The federal government and economy was quickly ruined by Bush and the Republicans and was not improving. Therefore, I decided to resign from the federal government and move to Washington State and did move here in September 2004.
Now, I live in Auburn, WA. Since the Bush national mismanagement reached every state including Washington State, I had to look and wait for a job opportunity for 2 and a half years after moving here. I've always saved as much of my paychecks as I could. I have, also, always been able to live on a budget (even a very tight one when necessary). I lived off my savings and within a tight budget for those 2 and a half years.
In March 2007 I got a parttime job at a discount store called Dollar Tree in Washington State. At last an opportunity. Then in May 2007 I started working for the Washington State Department of Licensing. That state employment ended in 2008.
After voters kept the Republicans out of the White House and from controlling either House of Congress in the 2008 Election, I was able to start finding temporary jobs in March 2009. I had a few more temporary jobs the rest of 2009 and in early 2010.
In March 2010 I returned to federal employment under the Obama Administration. I became an accounting technician at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). I happily still work there.
I am once again proud to be in public service.
However, you and I know we can't get a good job and think we're safe forever. The Republicans (and Bush mob) have destroyed our country's economy and are trying to destroy any and everything that benefits the average citizen. They must be stopped and can only be stopped by government authorities.

And you needing somebody to talk to
Girl, I can tell he's been lying
and pretending that he's faithful and he loves you

Don't you be ashamed to say he hurt you
I'm your girl,you're ny girl,we're your girls
Want you to know that we love you

But I need my man

Bird flu is a very fatal and contagious disease which can only be treated through vaccines tailor made to cure this disease. The vaccine has been produced from the critical apparatus of the deadly H5N1 virus that has confounded bird populations in Europe and Southeast Asia and has killed more than 80 people. The latest vaccine includes a living virus which is more immune active compared to the avian flu vaccines which were traditionally prepared. Sanofi Pasteur Inc. is the producer of this vaccine which later on has been purchased by the Federal Government named as U.S. National Stockpile.
Since this disease has greater prospect of getting spread there it has been stockpiled for distribution to public in case bird flu gets widespread. Since this type of vaccine is produced in the cell itself therefore it will have a wide applicability in preventing the disease from spreading both in animals and human beings. This vaccine has been first tested on animals and the results were mind blowing. They not only cured the disease but also boosted the immunity towards H5N1 virus.
To protect human beings from bird flu, the most virulent disease is within reach after a new discovery by scientists at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Since this disease is new to the world there and people not being immune to such disease, hence vaccine for curing such disease is a difficult task but in the coming year we will have a proper vaccine for it. Scientists believe that they can hopefully get a way out from this trauma.

Women's Basketball Early-Season 50 Player Watch List
And when they watch they will see something special...a gifted outstanding athlete, a scholar, and one of the nicest young women you'll ever meet.
She is the most amazing all around player that I have seen at ISU. She has an outside game - a mid range game - a close to the basket game - she rebounds - she defends - she can handle the ball - she shoots a high percentage from everywhere on the court. Truly amazing.
She is this years WBB Della Don (sp?). Can score whenever, wherever. Not quite as silky smooth as DD but man oh man is Hallie fun to watch.
This is kind of like Bolte's senior year where had to rely heavily on a senior to do everything... but this year we have a much better supporting cast. Should be an exciting year for the sisters!
What I can say about Hallie, many have said before more articulately. But as we followed her recruitment there were questions whether she could produce at the D-1 level like she produced in HS. As a freshmen she showed she could. After a slight sophomore slump she grew into a big time player last year and is now at the threshold of greatness. Absolutely love this Iowa kid and want to see her win this award though reality is not on her side. Go get it Hallie!

Posted this in an earlier Hallie thread.
Hallie was also listed as being considered for national player of the week this week by espnW:
"...Also considered: Hallie Christofferson, Iowa State; Atonye Nynigifa, UCLA; Jennifer Schlott, Utah State."
Baylor Lady Bears' Odyssey Sims is espnW's player of the week - ESPN
It's good to see that she is on the national radar.
I can definitely see her not only being drafted, but having a nice long career in the WNBA. She does it all, and since she's 6'3" and can shoot from anywhere - including 3 point land - that gives her the edge that other recently drafted Cyclones that didn't stick didn't have.
My daughter went to the Cyclone BB camp this summer, and she loved Anna and Hallie. She liked all the women that were there and helped, but those 2 stuck out to her in how nice and open they were with all the girls.

Based in Philadelphia, the birthplace of the U.S. Constitution, Penn DCC examines the impact of constitionalism on a global scale.
With generous support from the Mellon Foundation, Penn DCC was initiated by university president Amy Gutmann, shown here speaking with Justice Sonia Sotomayor at the Constitution Center.
During the 2013-14 academic year, Penn DCC is focusing on social rights such as healthcare, housing, education, and disability assistance, and their complicated relationship with ideas of citizenship.
In 2012-2013, the Penn DCC program explored how and why constitutions have been and are being made around the world, seeking to illuminate how constitutionalism can be strengthened in the 21st century.

ADRIANO GALLIANI: "Third place is a big achievement"
MILAN – Here's some of what Adriano Galliani had to say today from the headquarters of Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport:
"I was on the team coach and I saw that there were a few dozen fans insulting us. I'm always seated in the front of the coach and I got my bag and went into the train station with the police who kept the fans at bay. It was later that I heard about the chanting…. Mexes gave us a third place that looked impossible. We're not in the Champions League yet as we have to get through the preliminaries to get to the group stages. It's a big achievement. In the second half of the season we only lost a single game, the one against Juventus. In 2013, we played 20 games and got 65 points. Allegri's future? We'll meet on Wednesday and a decision will be taken with the President. We have to see what he wants to do. I've been by the President's side for 33 years since 1 November 1979 and we have a fine relationship."

Headbanging on Turkish Airlines
By christophersaul on May 30, 2005
I love having all my songs on my iPod. From time to time I rediscover an album I'd bought a while ago and possibly didn't like first time around. On random second or third playing it turns out to be just right for the occasion. Last week, whilst sitting on a plane to Istanbul, I rediscovered Ozzy Osbourne's 'Diary of a Madman' and 'Bark at the Moon'. I'm not a metalhead at all, or at least thought I wasn't, but what a couple of classics! I found myself headbanging my way over the Bosphorous. Look at these dreadful lyrics from Bark at the Moon. Pure genius - They cursed and buried him Along with shame And thought his timeless soul had gone In empty burning hell--unholy one But now he's returned to prove them wrong (oh no) Howling in shadows Living in a lunar spell He finds his heaven Spewing from the mouth of hell 'Over the Mountain' also has a couple of great lines - Over and under in between the ups and downs My mind's carpet magic ride goes round and round. Over the mountain kissing silver inlaid clouds Watching my body disappear into the crowd. Don't need no astrology it's inside of you and me You don't need a ticket to fly with me - I'm free. This is truly atrocious poetry, but the whole package comes together to make a couple of great albums. I'd love to see him live, but I doubt they'll be letting Ozzy into Dubai. He might bite the head off a camel.

At first, the idea of Tobacco Cologne ($68 for 15 ml) by the Portland General Store seems a bit, well, masculine. But once you get a whiff of this unisex cologne, you'll understand why we love it. At its base, the cologne has notes of lavender, citrus, and yes, tobacco. It has a subtle scent reminiscent of deep-shelved libraries, worn in leather, and aged, old-world antique shops. It's surprisingly soft, and the notes that linger give you an nontraditional scent that's unique, yet not too far off the beaten path. It's perfect for those who are sensitive to bloomy floral fragrances or want a hint of something with plenty of depth.

Server Ports
Can I get a list of which tcp udp ports the dedicated windows server and game is using? I am trying to write a php gamespy query script and need to know if the game uses non-standard ports for this info. Thank you.
I'm pretty sure GSA doesn't let you just straight query their master servers. The arcade client goes through a handshake when it requests the information. I need to find something to tell me what ports are being actively use then I'll hit you with the port info.
Every other game out there has some means of querying the game server directly for information like player counts, maps etc. I cannot believe this game doesnt allow this. Hell, tribes vengeance BETA has this capability (and for that matter a more robust server admin interface and it's BETA)
I wonder if this is Lucasarts open beta for the game we just purchased?

Syracuse 4 Louisville 3
• Detwiler (W, 5-5) 6⅓ IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 4K, HR
• Balester (H, 4) 1⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, 3K
• Antonelli 2-3, R, BB, HR, RBI
• Marrero 2-4, 2B, RBI
• Aubrey 1-3, R, HR, 2RBI
Ross Detwiler backed up a strong start last Saturday with an even stronger start yesterday. He pitched three perfect innings to start the game off. He was touched for a solo HR by Yonder Alonso, the no. 3 preseason prospect in the Reds system according to John Sickels. Detwiler struggled with control in the 7th, walking Alonso to lead off the frame and then Bert Cleven before ending his outing by striking out Daniel Dorn. Balester offered outstanding relief. He wriggled out of Detwiler's jam by stranding two inherited runners, striking out Michael Griffin on his way to retiring all five batters he faced. Syracuse MI Matt Antonelli continues to rake; after his 2-for-3 plus a walk and a homer afternoon, he is now hitting .423/.463/.684 over his last ten games. Somebody in the front office should be noticing this 25-year-old's outstanding season by now.
Harrisburg 7 Bingthamton 3
• Martis (W, 3-2) 5IP, 3H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 8K, HR
• Barthmaier (H, 1) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• Johnson 3-5, 2R, HR, 4RBI
• Lombardozzi 2-5, 2R
A three run 9th homer by Josh Johnson broke the bats last night. They built a strong picket fence earlier in the game with single runs in the first, second, third, and fifth innings. They also brought the speed with stolen bases by Gilbert (1-4, RBI), Tucker (BB, R), Ivany, and Valdez (1-4, R). Shairon Martis answered some of his critics with a high K/BB ratio of 8:2. Jimmy Barthamier, Rafael Martin (in his first outing for Harrisburg this season, and Zech Zinicola combined for four scoreless innings.
Potomac 3 Frederick 1
• Rosenbaum (W, 4-3) 7IP, 9H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 5K
• Nelo (S, 3) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Zimmerman 2-4, 2B, RBI
• Bloxom 2-3
• Lozada 2-3, RBI
Six wins at home isn't bad if it's late April. A third the way the through June? Well, the 10-game losing streak is over and something appears to be clicking for Danny Rosenbaum. Check out Sue's take on what happened Last Night In Woodbridge
Hagerstown 4 Delmarva 1
• Solis (W, 1-0) 6⅔ IP, 5H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 5K, 1HR
• Holland (H, 2) 1⅔ 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Martinson, 2-4, 2R, 3B, HR, RBI
• Oduber 2-4, 2R, HR, RBI
Sammy Solis turned in his long outing of the season, tossing six and 2/3rds innings with a solo HR among the five hits he gave up as the Suns took a 4-1 decision from the Shorebirds. Four Suns got multiple hits but four runners were lost on the basepaths as Delmarva's Michael Ohlman gunned down three would-be basestealers and Jacob Petit picked off Jason Martinson. Randolph Oduber and Martinson both hit solo shots to lead the Suns offense. Neil Holland and Chris Manno finished the game with two and 1/3rds scoreless relief to earn the hold and save, respectively. Combined with a Greensboro loss, Hagerstown reduced its magic number to 10 games for the Sally League North's first-half title.
DSL Marlins 6 DSL Nationals 2
• Pineyro (L, 0-1) 5IP, 5H, 2R, 1ER, 1BB, 7K, 1HR
• Rodriguez, Kel. 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Difo 3-5
• Tillero 2-2, 2BB
A three-run sixth pushed the D-Fish past the D-Nats for a 6-2 decision. Ivan Pineyro took the loss, down 2-1 after his five innings, as Daury Vasquez surrendered four runs over the next three innings. Wilmer Difo led the 10-hit attack with a 3-for-5 game while the D-Nats were a woeful 1-for-14 with RISP and stranded 11 baserunners.

"Somebody in the front office should be noticing this 25-year-old's outstanding season by now." but will they pay attention at all to Mr. Antonelli? Inquiry minds gotta know…
For anyone who has seen him play, is Antonelli for real? I know he was a former first round pick who has battled injuries, but he seemingly has come from out of nowhere.
The time I saw him play, he absolutely killed the ball to LF a couple of times.
He's also very quick.
Looked solid in the field as well.
To be honest, he looked like a major leaguer playing against minor leaguers.
Can someone give me some intel on Neil Holland in Hagerstown? He has quietly put up some ridiculous numbers so far this season:
12 G; 18.2 IP; 0.96 ERA; 14 Hits; 0.75 WHIP; 0 walks and 18 strikeouts! .203 BAA
He was an 11th Round draft pick out of Louisville last year. He'll be 23 in August and put up decent numbers in Vermont last year. What's his fastball clock in at? Does he have more than one pitch? What is his ceiling?
I don't mean to spam the site, but figured the prospect-loving people here would be interested in my 2011 Nationals draft posts. I have them all linked and organized into one that you can find here: http://dcisforbaseball.blogspot.com/2011/06/organized-2011-nationals-draft-post.html
Feel free to comment and share them. Thanks!
Awesome, awesome, awesome, Sean. I'm not that draft focused, but I'm eager to look at the draft projections and scouting reports as guys start to come on line in Auburn, Hagerstown and Potomac. Your info will be so very helpful.
More than the wins, what gave me good vibes last night was four strong pitching performances. I'd like to see Detwiler get some action at DC this year. He needs to run off 5-6 quality starts in a row before I start putting him back in the mix. Martis looks like solid OG. Rosenbaum showing something and especially Solis' outing gives me hope.
What's the community read on Solis at this point? Second half boost for Potomac. Hagerstown's squad could win two championships this year! First half for Hagerstown and second half for Potomac!
Some intell on Holland
He is the 8th inn guy period for the Suns. He is a better version of Graham . He is 87-89 side armer, throws strikes and is money on the mound. I think if he continues his progress he could develop into a right specialist. The suns love to throw him in the 8th and Manno in the 9th. I like Hollands approach and is very very tough on rightys
The problem for Antonelli is that the Nats are likely looking to take send someone (Bixler) down rather than bring a player up with Zimmerman returning soon. If it was up to me, I would dump Matt Stairs and bring up Antonelli, and give him him a couple of starts a week at 2B, 3b and/or OF.
BTW, what does Chris Manno need to do to get promoted. His numbers are ridiculous, and he is 22. Would hope that he moves up at least one step within the next month.
Marrero's numbers are not ridiculous, just pedestrian.
Sue, glad you focused on Antonelli today. You look at his numbers and they're eyepopping, Checking his history and it's obvious there was a major injury there because he barely played for a year at all. I have no intel at all on what his backstory is, it's worth knowing.
Attention fellow members of the Rhinhart Mafia, his OPS for the season is now .948 & last 10 games is 1.236
Antonelli, as Sue pointed out is 1.000 OPS at Syracuse & last 10 games is 1.148.
Both of these guys are 26 years old, but to call them OG's at this point is just not right.
Not to mention Tyler Moore with an OPS of ONLY .866
Something to pay attention to, as there are 3-4 guys with the big club who aren't hitting at all! The Nats F.O. should be talking these guys up big time.
I take the blame (credit?) for hyping up Antonelli a bit. Folks, I think we need to dial down the "Antonelli's getting a raw deal!" stuff a bit. Jorge Padilla ripped up AAA for a while. It was a wonderful story that he got called up, but his AAA numbers didn't transfer. Unless I'm getting actual scouting on a AAA guy of that age, I can't say one way or another whether he should be promoted or not.
There's a small chance I may listen to some of the Syracuse broadcast tonight since Meyers is on the hill, Antonelli is in the lineup, and I'm more interested in minors broadcasts than majors broadcasts in this point.
Do you know people are talking about Chris Manno the reliever and not Chris Marrero the first basemen? If you're funnin' me, you got me.
Thanks, SoulD, my bad & good catch.

Gates on Patents
From the New York Times:
WHAT a difference 16 years makes. Last month, the technology world was abuzz over an interview in Fortune magazine in which Bradford Smith, Microsoft's general counsel, accused users and developers of various free software products of patent infringement and demanded royalties. Indeed, in recent years, Mr. Smith has argued that patents are essential to technological breakthroughs in software.
Microsoft sang a very different tune in 1991. In a memo to his senior executives, Bill Gates wrote, "If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today's ideas were invented, and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete standstill today." Mr. Gates worried that "some large company will patent some obvious thing" and use the patent to "take as much of our profits as they want."
Mr. Gates wrote his 1991 memo shortly after the courts began allowing patents on software in the 1980s. At the time Microsoft was a growing company challenging entrenched incumbents like I.B.M. and Novell. It had only eight patents to its name. Recognizing the threat to his company, Mr. Gates initiated an aggressive patenting program. Today Microsoft holds more than 6,000 patents.
It's not surprising that Microsoft — now an entrenched incumbent — has had a change of heart. But Mr. Gates was right in 1991: patents are bad for the software industry.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Medial epicondylitis, also known as golfer's elbow, baseball elbow, suitcase elbow, or forehand tennis elbow, is characterized by pain from the elbow to the wrist on the inside (medial side) of the elbow. The pain is caused by damage to the tendons that bend the wrist toward the palm. A tendon is a tough cord of tissue that connects muscles to bones.
Medial epicondylitis is caused by the excessive force used to bend the wrist toward the palm, such as swinging a golf club or pitching a baseball. Other possible causes of medial epicondylitis include the following:
The following are the most common symptoms of medial epicondylitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.
The most common symptom of medial epicondylitis is pain along the palm side of the forearm, from the elbow to the wrist, on the same side as the little finger. The pain can be felt when bending the wrist toward the palm against resistance, or when squeezing a rubber ball.
The symptoms of medial epicondylitis may resemble other medical problems or conditions. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
The diagnosis of medial epicondylitis usually can be made based on a physical examination. The physician may rest the arm on a table, palm side up, and ask the patient to raise the hand by bending the wrist against resistance. If a person has medial epicondylitis, pain usually is felt in the elbow.
Specific treatment for medial epicondylitis will be determined by your physician based on:
Treatment for medial epicondylitis includes stopping the activity that produces the symptoms. Treatment may include:

Karma is a small Internet hotspot device that allows you to connect your WiFi devices to Sprint's soon to be discontinued 4G WiMax service. The business model is unique and quite intriguing in that it allows you to earn more data by sharing your Karma's hotspot. Each new signup earns a 100 megabyte bucket. On the surface, it sounds like a great idea but there are pitfalls.
Karma's slogan is "Bring WiFi with you, everywhere you go". That is unfortunate because the reality is more like "Bring WiFi with you, but only where Sprint 4G WiMax goes" which is far fewer places than where they claim to go.
Poor Coverage
Despite claims of 85% 3G/4G coverage in major cities like San Francisco, the reality is that Sprint 4G WiMax coverage is far and few in between with actual coverage estimated in the area of 20% of what is actually claimed. For example, the coverage map indicates 4G coverage along the 101 Interstate between SFO and downtown San Francisco. I can say that after making that drive hundreds of times, that is blatantly untrue. There is no usable 3G or 4G signal to be had along the entire drive until you exit into the streets near AT&T ballpark. In general, coverage is decent in wide open areas like parks if there is a signal whereas coverage in dense areas like the financial district cuts on and off from block to block. I drive all over San Francisco and 4G coverage is hit or miss making using Karma an exercise in searching for the ever elusive 4G signal. 3G is available in a wider area but it's slow to the point of being unusable in modern Internet platforms.
Earning Karma data
Do not get a Karma thinking you will earn free 100 MB data buckets. Don't get me wrong, it's not impossible but it's improbable to the point of being useless. Think about all the factors that must be present before you can earn signups. First you have to be somewhere that has good 4G coverage. As stated earlier, that is a challenge in itself. Now that location has to be where lots of people with devices congregate. Forget about any locations like coffee shops where superior free Wi-Fi already exist. Now that you're in such a rare spot in the universe, you have to overcome the challenge of people's hesitance to sign into unknown open WiFi. Lastly, those people must have smartphones but no coverage or no mobile data plan. Considering Sprint 4G WiMax is the worse network, the odds of this happening is rare indeed. In months of testing, I accumulated a total of 5 signups. 2 were in a packed theatre and 3 were at an outdoor music festival packed with tens of thousands of people.
LTE to the rescue?
Karma has been promising LTE since late 2013 with an anticipated ship date of summer 2014 but the rollout has been delayed and there is no firm ship date. Their hope is mid-September 2014 with a vague promise of a big discount for current Karma owners. I wouldn't hold my breath.
Everything is trending against the need for Karma
The trend is more free, open Wi-Fi. The list of locations offering free WiFi grows daily. Starbucks is switching from AT&T to Google WiFi offering much faster and more robust free WiFi at Starbucks. Everyday, more and more people are getting smartphones so WiFi only mobile devices become increasingly rare. Additionally, Sprint's competition continues to improve coverage and speed while Sprint plays catch up. There will always be a need for personal mobile Internet hotspots but I believe it'll be a niche category at best.
Should you get Karma?
Well that really depends on where you are and your needs. If you get good 4G WiMax coverage and have a need to connect WiFi only devices, it's worth a look along with Karma competitors such as FreedomPop. Keep in mind FreedomPop uses the same Sprint 4G WiMax network so it really just comes down to comparing prices. If you want usable coverage, you're better off looking at offerings from mobile carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon but it will cost you much more for the same amount of data. Ultimately, expensive usable data connections are worth more than inexpensive unusable data connections. Consider how much your time is worth searching around for a good signal. You'll probably past several Starbucks before you spot that elusive WiMax 4G signal.

In other book news, we heard a while back that Ms. Smith was involved with a prequel trilogy, which we all originally assumed was part of the book series, but turned out to be the TV series tie-in, Stefan's Diaries, that she's (apparently) consulting on. Well, turns out a new Vampire Diaries trilogy is in the works, starting with Phantom. We have no idea about publication dates, what it's about or when it will be set (though, given the spoiler at the end of this blog post, it's likely at least some of it will be set after Midnight), but we'll be sure to let you know as soon as we have more information.
Also, I have been finished with Midnight, the final book in the last Vampire Diaries trilogy about a month ago and am waiting (you can imagine how eagerly or maybe–if you're not an author–you can't) for the edits. I've also signed on for a new trilogy and finished the first book in it, Phantom. So there is more Vampire Diaries in store for readers of those books.
And another little spoilery Vampire Diaries tidbit from the blog post (spoiler blocked because it gives away some of what might happen in Midnight:
And I've already bought a fantastic brand new Tiffany and Co. (the real Tiffany's) gold locket and chain. Now I just have to make up a scene in which Stefan gives Elena the locket (crucial for the new trilogy coming up after Midnight) and we'll see if we really can cause my computer to implode.
(Thanks to Ayna for the heads up!)
