Mafioso: Don't Ever Show Weakness
Your influence and reputation can also quickly diminish if those who live in your universe assume you are weak. They don't even have to know why, they just need to know that your reputation is no longer as strong as it once was, and before you know it, they will no longer respect your word. These are the long-term effects of being a consistent stronzo in public.
When do you show weakness?So how can you tell when you are revealing yourself, like Aunt Carmine stripping an onion? Unless you walk around with a camera filming your every move, you can't. What you can do is be aware of which situations cause you to show weakness.
Fear is the No. 1 way to reveal your Achilles' heel. Everyone has fear, even a man with a death wish, but few are able to camouflage it. When you show fear, you show that you are unable to anticipate the outcome of something or deal with the situation's consequences in a controlled fashion. Your enemy will feel like a kid in a candy store. Show fear in front of anyone, and it is game over for your respectability.
Anger is another great way to reveal a weakness to your enemy. Everyone who is out to get you will try getting you where it hurts. Showing anger in a particular situation, especially if unwarranted, will reveal your game and expose what makes you tick and what makes you go boom. This doesn't mean that you should never show anger in public, just that it should be a subdued discontentment, not a tyrannical rage (get a dictionary you buffoons if you can't keep up with Mr. Dictionary over here).
Emotion should be eliminated. No matter how tough a situation gets, no matter how much you feel a stabbing pain in your heart, never let your enemy know how you feel. That is what I loved about Mustache Petes; the old-time Mafiosi never showed what they were thinking even when their fingers were being axed.
Remember, your enemy is anyone that is not on your side. Being indifferent emotionally means no one can know what you are thinking. Being emotional means opening a can of worms. It means there is a possibility that something you are actually feeling gets exposed, or worse, you can say something so stupid that even the rats lose respect for you.
Addiction, whether it's a love of gambling, narcotics, prostitution, or any other vice, can be a weakness used against you. Revealing your affection for habits deemed "unlawful" will bring you nothing but nightmares. You have a bad habit? Deal with it, and keep your mouth shut. You got yourself in the mess, get yourself out. Informing anyone of your little deed just increases the amount of knives in circulation that can be firmly planted in your back.
Here's how to avoid showing your weaknesses...

So you're planning to do an online survey. Good for you! Now one of the first decisions you'll need to make is whether to use an in-house list you already own, or purchase one, say from the Ask You Target Market Panel. On the surface that may seem like a simple choice — go with what you have and save some money, right? But stop and think a minute. Is that really your best option?
It's a little like BYOB in a 5-star restaurant. Sure you could save a few bucks, but is that really what would best compliment that lovingly prepared Beef Wellington?
In-house, or out?
Both are valid options. Realistically though, there are risks to using an in-house list. True, it may save some money, and it's convenient, but there are some serious considerations:
• Limited scope — Your list is likely based on your clients or people who already know your brand, right? So unless you have a need to focus on your existing clientele, using an in-house list for your survey tells you only what your current customers think. What about potential ones?
• The wrong list — Is your list comprised of the right people? For example, if you want product idea feedback, does your list include people who actually use your type of product? I've seen many cases where a company has a list of purchasing managers at companies, but that's not the target market. Alternatively, a consumer product may be purchased by moms, but used by someone else. Oh, and if you think the people on your list will just forward your survey to the right contact, think again. That's just not happening.
• Lack of Permission — Having an in-house list doesn't automatically give you permission to use it for research purposes, and people are very sensitive to a perception of violation in that regard. This is especially true in the international arena. Some countries have very strict privacy laws, and you can quickly find yourself in trouble using your list inappropriately. Where did your in-house list come from? Will its members be annoyed or upset at receiving surveys via email? Do you have permission to use the list for survey research?
• Quality — Is your list accurate and up-to-date? Be honest with yourself. If 10 percent of the names or e-mails are bad, both you and your project will suffer. If you have any doubts about the quality of your list, save yourself the aggravation and delay. (As an aside, consider testing your list. Send your survey to about 50 random people from your list and measure the response and e-mail bounce-back rates.)
In the final analysis, using an in-house list may work if your goal is to survey your current customers, you have the right contacts, the list is clean, and you have permission. If you can do all of that, fantastic! But if you're not quite there, consider looking outside your own back yard for the higher quality an AYTM list can offer. And when you go out to a nice dinner, leave that cheapo wine at home.

As parents, we know that reading to our children is not only an important contribution to their development, but a powerful opportunity for emotional connection. So when a military parent deploys, the parent is challenged to continue their vital role, despite a long separation. Father's Day is just one of the many special holidays that a military family may not get to spend together. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhI9AH2lMxc] United Through Reading's Military Program is one way a military parent can remain engaged over the course of a deployment. As this awww-inducing video from a United Through Reading beneficiary family shows, children are never too young to benefit from the soothing sound of their parent's voice, and a dad is never too far away to comfort his son in this simple way.

MOHALI: Rajasthan Royals' hope of making it to the play-offs suffered a set-back as they went down to Kings XI Punjab by 16 runs at the PCA Stadium here yesterday.
Chasing a target of 180, Rajasthan Royals managed 163 for eight in 20 overs after a late onslaught by James Faulkner (35 not out) and Brad Hodge (31).
Rajasthan Royals' loss opened up the race for the fourth spot and their next match against defending champions Mumbai Indians would be a knock-out match for both the teams.
What baffled many was Royals' skipper Shane Watson's decision to send Hodge and Faulkner late in the batting line-up.
They were pretty much on course thanks to brisk knocks from Ajinkya Rahane (23) and Sanju Samson (30).
Earlier, an impressive batting performance took Kings XI to an impressive 179/4 in 20 overs.
With the win, George Bailey's team ensured they would finish top of the table with their tenth win. The result kept the final play-off spot open, with Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad's hopes alive, along with Royals'. AGENCIES
Mumbai: Mumbai Indians handed Delhi Daredevils their eighth straight loss, beating them by 15 runs in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Wankhede Stadium here yesterday.
Mumbai's third win on the trot kept them in the hunt for a playoff spot -- all be it the smallest of chances.
Mumbai Indians have 12 points, the same as Sunrisers Hyderabad and the only chance of either team making it to the playoffs would be if Rajasthan Royals, who are in fourth with 14 points and a game in hand, lose both their final matches.
The Daredevils' dismal run since returning from the UAE continued. Delhi are bottom of the table having won just two of 13 matches, both their victories coming in the UAE leg.
An 85-run fourth wicket partnership between Manoj Tiwary (41) and J.P. Duminy (45 not out) took Delhi close but it wasn't enough as they were restricted to 158 for four in 20 overs.
Kevin Pietersen (44) got things rolling for the Daredevils but Murali Vijay (8) and Dinesh Karthik (7) failed as Delhi managed just 61 runs off the first 10 overs.
Tiwary and in particular Duminy played superbly to make a match off the contest but had a little too much to do as they fell 15 runs short.
A power packed half-century from Michael Hussey (56 off 33) helped Mumbai score 173 all out in 19.3 overs.
Lendl Simmons (35) and Hussey bludgeoned their way to a 87-run opening stand off just 48 balls.
Hussey was dismissed in the 12th over with the score on 120. Rohit Sharma (30) looked to started from where Hussey left off but the captain's fall had catastrophic effect on the team as they lost eight wickets for just 33 runs-- giving Delhi a way back.
South African leggie Imran Tahir bagged three wickets while Jaydev Unadkat chipped in with two.Meanwhile, out of play-offs for the second consecutive year, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Chennai Super Kings today in their last IPL-7 league tie at the Chinnaswamy stadium, more for pride than to prove anything to its frenzied fans, who feel let down by their poor show in this tournament.
With 10 points from eight losses and only five wins in 13 league matches, the hosts have not much to show except hoping to sign off on a winning note playing against a formidable Super Kings, who have qualified for play-offs being runner-up in the points table with 16 points from eight wins and five losses.
Back-to-back defeats in away games against Kolkata Knight Riders by 30 runs and against Sunrisers Hyderabad sealed RCB's fate, as its players were found wanting in finishing on a winning note. AGENCIES

As she looked the arrangement over, Jacobs noticed discoloration of the petals, something caused by a water spill.
"This one will have to go back," Jacobs said as she pushed it back into the van.
Jacobs returned the flowers for a replacement and brought the new arrangement back to its owner later in the day. While it's not uncommon for water to drip onto the flowers, it's also not uncommon for a stem to break, a balloon to pop or balloons to tangle.
"It happens to everyone," Jacobs said.
It's no secret Valentine's Day is a busy day for florists everywhere, but what some may not know is there's more to successfully delivering valentines than driving around town and dropping off flowers and candy.
"They have to know the town, route their deliveries and take care of the flowers -- It's not the easiest thing," said Jim Pharris Sr., who has been in the flower business for over 40 years.
Jacobs was one of several delivery drivers working Monday, making sure area residents received valentines from their loved ones.
For Jacobs, her work day began around 8 a.m. delivering a full van to schools, banks, hospitals, doctors' offices and residences all over the area. After sorting and gathering, items were recorded on her clipboard and loaded into the van. Some were even secured with sandbags.
Jacobs mapped out her route, starting with the closest places and working her way to the farthest places.
"It's fun, it's interesting and I meet a lot of people. It's different every day," said Jacobs, who has worked as a local delivery driver for St. Louis Post-
Dispatch, Wall Street Journal and USA Today.
And it's not easy maneuvering a vehicle full of balloons, candy, flowers, candles and stuffed animals. Jacobs must use her side mirrors and at times, stick her head out the window to get a better view.
"I've lived all my life in Sikeston and by doing this, I've been places I've never been and driven on roads I never knew existed," Jacobs said.
And if there's a location Jacobs isn't sure of, she'll call and get more specifics before leaving, she said.
When the day's over, delivery drivers may have made two or three trips to places they've already delivered due to late orders.
"I enjoy it, and it's really nice to see the reactions on people's faces," Jacobs said as she drove around Sikeston Monday. "Sometimes we take them to the elderly and they cry because maybe their kids sent them something."
Jacobs said a lot of people expect deliveries on Valentine's Day, but many are surprised.
Helen York, owner of Helen's Florist, said most peoples' reactions are, "Ah! Those are for me?!?"
Kim Baker, customer service representative for The Flower Patch, said lots of extra vans and extra employees were needed for the holiday.
"We start planning in May, looking at catalogs and reserving extra vans," Baker said.
Some people placed orders in advance, but the phones were ringing steadily Monday, beginning as early as 5 a.m. at one florist. They were expected to stay busy throughout the day, and especially again around 5 p.m. when those who may have forgotten the holiday were getting off work.
The day doesn't end until the last flower is delivered, which is typically sometime into the evening, the florists said.
Each florist may have its own system for their deliveries, but they all share a common bond.
"We live for this day," Baker said.
York said the day's hard work is overlooked by the huge amount of joy they bring to others.
Pharris said about the busy holiday: "People enjoy getting flowers -- and on Valentine's Day, they enjoy sending them, too."

Just in time for your rebate and stimulus checks, industry insiders predict price drops of 20-25% on HDTVs in May. [HD Guru via Gizmodo]
Still not buying one.
My stimulus payment went to pay for my semi-annual car and renters insurance bill.
Hmm.. "industry insiders" predict a price drop?
It doesn't take an insider to know that. Haha. For that past 2 or 3 years, the price of HDTV sets have declined around summer/fall, in preparation for new models and the Christmas shopping rush.
As much as I love my Sony Trinitron, I think I'm going to get an LCD HDTV this year. The promotional rate on my cable TV service is going to expire this summer and I ain't gonna keep it.
Free OTA HD/DTV broadcast, here I come!
My refund check still isn't enough to cover an HDTV :(
"Industry insiders" are also predicting a rise in prices by end of year – once the weak dollar / commodity prices trickle into the supply chain.
"Sorry to break-in to current programming, Eyewitness News here. We have learned from industry insiders that gas prices will be rising even further due to the economic stimulus checks."
"More at 11pm."
I dont even want one, I want an iPhone!

Issued at 957 PM EDT Thu Aug 25 2016 Quiet evening across the area, with weak surface ridging controlling the weather. Not much change expected through the overnight, with just some passing mid clouds, especially for areas north of the big bridge. May see some patchy "field" fog by morning, although coverage looks limited enough to preclude a specific mention in the forecast. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 247 PM EDT Thu Aug 25 2016 High pressure continues to build into Northern Michigan this afternoon. Thick layer of mid cloud is gradually thinning with the departure of the cold front...which is now over SE Lower Michigan. This diminishing trend will continue for the rest of the afternoon...with skies becoming mainly clear for tonight. Southern tip of a secondary cold front will clip our CWA on Friday... spreading some scattered low clouds into the region...but certainly not enough to preclude a partly to mostly sunny day. Tonight will be noticeably cooler with ongoing CAA behind the cold front. Overnight lows will fall into the mid to upper 50s. Friday will be not quite as warm as today...and certainly less humid. Afternoon highs will range form the lower 70s in Eastern Upper and far NW Lower Michigan to around 80 degrees near Saginaw Bay. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday) Issued at 247 PM EDT Thu Aug 25 2016 High impact weather potential: Increasing thunderstorm chances Saturday into Saturday evening. Pattern synopsis/Expected evolution: A reprieve in the active weather is expected over the next 48 hours as yesterday`s low pressure continues to move trough Quebec this afternoon. Despite another weak shortwave and associated secondary cold front passage late today, heights gradually rise through Friday with surface high pressure settling atop the western Great Lakes. By Saturday morning, a well-defined shortwave begins its decent from southern Canada into the northern Plains. With a 100+ kt jet streak lying north of the area, northern Michigan lies in the right entrance region with large scale forcing for ascent and precip chances increasing throughout the day. Aforementioned trough axis moves overhead Sunday with occassionally unsettled conditions continuing into early next week. Friday night-Saturday night: Overnight Friday, mid-upper level ridge axis and associated surface high pressure shifts overhead before gradually moving off to the east throughout the day Saturday as aforementioned, well-defined troughing digs into the northern Plains. Large scale forcing gradually increases ahead of the approaching wave, thus increasing precip chances from west to east throughout the day Saturday. As mentioned yesterday, guidance continues to vary in the evolution/strength of the mid-upper level feature...and ultimately the overall coverage of precip. At this point, will aim to to take a blended approach to PoPs with chance PoPs dominating the daylight hours for a fear that shower/storm coverage may end up being rather low. However, will gradually increase chances during the evening and early overnight as the best forcing and deep layer moisture (1.50+ inches) advect in from the west, although still concerned that beneficial, widespread rain will impact all of northern Michigan. Despite MLCAPE values being progged at only a few hundred J/kg, have no feasible reason to remove inherited thunder chances throughout the period. With deep layer shear values approaching 35-40 kts at various times Sat-Sat night, will have to keep at least one eye on a sneaky isolated low CAPE/ moderate shear severe threat, but not overly concerned at this point. Sunday: Guidance is in fairly good agreement come Sunday morning that nearly all appreciable precip has exited/is exciting the CWA as forcing wanes in the wake of mid-level troughing becoming centered directly overhead. Weak upper-level ridging and associated high pressure usher in cooler/drier air throughout the day Sunday with peeks of sunshine expected to prevail by late in the day. Gillen The pattern over the extended period remains highly progressive with waves passing every few days. Sunday is the first threat of rain as a subtle shortwave passes through Northern Great Lakes. The sfc low remains rather weak with this wave and should not produce any severe weather. Monday through Tuesday afternoon will dry out with the flow quickly building back up before another wave comes down from Canada. The general pattern looks to remain active after that. Temps will remain above average for extended forecast with highs in the upper 70s and low 80s. There is currently no concern for severe storms at this time.

A territory manager is a head or supervisor of a professional sales team who concentrates on increasing the sale in a particular geographical area. We see this type of managers in a wide range of businesses from telecommunication to customer services and electronic appliances. Usually the territory manager increases the sale of his area by maintaining good and long term relations with the customers. The most important part of a territory manager's job is to start and keep good relations with customers because a happy customer is like the best way to advertise your product. Although it's not a part of most of the territory managers but some of them go out and actually meet with the clients in their territory. This way they don't only believe what their sales team tells them but they listen to the real consumers and ask about their concerns about the product he is selling.
When a company hires a territory manager or nominates an old employee to this post, he is required to perform the following duties:
- Maintaining personal contact with all the assigned accounts in the territory.
- To answer all the queries within 24 hour and arranging a meeting with the new clients to give them a presentation about the company's products or services.
- Arranging meeting, conventions and presentations for the meeting between the company and territory clients and serving as a host.
- Maintaining a kind and courteous behavior towards every client and each of his complain.
- Eliminating the conflicts between clients and the sales team to increase the customer's trust on company's customer care services.
As we have defined above the key tasks of a territory manager and his important in the progress of a company or business, these managers are paid very good salaries. Although their salary figure varies according to the size, type and location of the company as bigger or international companies pay higher salaries because their business is huge where on the other hand, small or local companies pay less salary. Same is the affect of the location of the company as you can see that territory managers in Europe and America get paid higher salaries whereas the same managers in the countries like Pakistan or India get low salaries. Generally a territory manager earn up to $75000 per year which increases as he gains more experience and increases the sales. These managers are also accommodated with extra benefits like free medical, insurance, retirement plans and more important bonuses on targeted sales.
Key elements to include in a territory manager resume:
- Divide your resume into several different parts and limit all the information to their specific portions.
- Start the resume with information section in which you put your name and contact information such as telephone number and mail address.
- After that put an objective in which you state your sales related goals in a unique manner.
- After that put a short but brief summary of your education achievements which you should start with the most recent degree you have earned and then go back and discuss every course and certification. You are required to put the name of the institution, degree of course and passing year for each.
- In the work experience section, you discuss everything about your previous jobs but only the related ones. Start with the most recent job and provide the name of the company, job title and duration of employment there.
- In the end use some special keywords to demonstrate your skills and abilities related to sales and the tactics that you have gained over the past few years which will help you at this job.
Things you shouldn't put in your territory manager resume such as:
- Unless you are asked, don't provide any references in the first place but save them for later. Once you are called for an interview, then it's the time to give them the information about your previous employers.
- This is not some common document that you can play with; you need to spend some time with your resume while designing it. Avoid using colorful paper and fonts and stick to a simple template.
- There is no need to add anything too personal in your manager's resume as this is an official document and no one will have time to read all of that useless information like your marital status or hobbies.

This one is definitely more challenging than the first project, but I am happy to say that it is coming along nicely thus far...
Anyway, I am very excited to have found this forum! I know I will have questions and need tips and pointers along the way. I look forward to learning with forum friends and passing along any of my tips and knowledge that I acquire along the way!
Thank you,
There's much more to KH.com than just the forum. There's a WEALTH of helpful information here, and the forum is only part of it. that said, knitting techniques are what you call "artisan knowledge" -- that which is most effectively passed on from person to person. Books and videos are helpful, but when those don't give you an answer you understand this is the place to be!
So welcome from a fellow Tar Heel!

This post shows how placing investments in the right "pots" can save a small investor $100,000 in a lifetime. This savings accrues from taking advantage how IRS taxes different investments at different rates and for different holding periods. Knowing these arbitrary IRA rules will save you more than you may believe.
Avoid In IRAs
All funds or assets withdrawn from a traditional IRA are taxed at ordinary income rates, up to 39.6% in 2013. Therefore, it makes little sense to place tax-saving investments (to be defined momentarily) in an IRA since they will lose their tax saving benefit upon withdrawal. Most obviously, one would never place a tax-free bond in an IRA or any type of retirement plan (e.g. 401k, pension, profit sharing, etc.) because it will be taxed when removed. The difference of income tax rates in this case, 0% for the municipal bond and as high as 39.6% for anything taken from an IRA, is huge.
As to annuities, annuity agents and annuity issuers will argue they have a place in an IRA for reasons other than their tax deferral (such as lifetime guaranteed income and death benefits and guaranteed income riders in the case of variable annuities). That may be the case, however, this author recommends that if you have 2 pots of money, one that is tax sheltered such as an IRA and one pot that is not sheltered, buy the annuity in the non-sheltered pot. There are better ways to employ tax-sheltered money.
A more subtle but no less important choice, is which stocks or mutual funds to place in an IRA.
Put Long Hold Stocks Into IRAs
Knowing how income tax rates apply to stock holding periods determine which stocks to own in or out of an IRA. If you have stocks that you will hold for many years, then it is very foolish to own these in an IRA. Stocks held for many years, when sold, will qualify for long-term capital gains rates, the lowest of income tax rates (15% for most people, 20% for those in the highest tax brackets). If we assume $50,000 of stock that is held for 30 years and sold, that appreciates 5% annually and pays a 3% annual dividend based on the stock year-end value, the difference in tax is as follows:
Tax paid over 30 years if held outside IRA, all at 15% : $38,319
Tax paid at end of 30 years when stock and dividends withdrawn, all at 39%: $116,723
(To keep the analysis simple, I have assumed that the dividends were not reinvested and earned 0% and have also not given credit for earnings that would have been earned on the annual taxes not paid if the stock were held in the IRA. However, even if these factors were incorporated, they would have a small impact in favor of the IRA. The calculation spreadsheet is here).
So we see that on a modest amount of stock, $50,000 worth, over 30 years, one pays 3 times as much tax by making the incorrect decision to hold the stock inside the IRA.
Alternatively, if you have investments in volatile stocks such as technology stocks or pink-sheet stocks that you plan to trade frequently (i.e. hold for less than 1 year), this is best done in an IRA. If you trade these stocks outside of an IRA, your profits will be short-term i.e. less than one-year holding period and therefore, you will pay the high ordinary income tax rate on profit (up to 39.6%). You will do no worse if you do this trading inside an IRA because the eventual income tax rate will be the same. But here's the good part. When you do this trading inside an IRA, it is all tax-deferred until you are age 70 1/2 whereas such trading outside of an IRA would cause you to pay additional tax every year. The avoidance of the annual tax and the compounding that will accrue within the IRA will bring you significantly ahead.
The Right Mutual Funds for IRAs
As to mutual funds, it is critical to understand the nature of the mutual funds you buy or own as different funds are taxed at different income tax rates. Index funds, such as an S&P 500 index fund, does very little trading. The average stock within an index fund is held for four years. Therefore, when it is sold, the gain qualifies as a long-term capital gain taxable at a maximum income tax rate of 15% (for most investors). Additionally, the average stock in an S&P 500 index fund also pays a respectable dividend. These dividends also meet the standards for "qualifying dividends" and are also taxed at a maximum income tax rate of 15%. Therefore, one would be you terribly foolish if they understand income tax rates to put in index fund inside an IRA. To do so would be taking income preferably taxed at 15% and eventually exposing it to tax that could be as high as 39.6%.
The mutual funds that should be held inside an IRA are growth, technology and appreciation funds which commonly have turnover rates in excess of 100% annually. Doing so will avoid a nasty and expensive annual 1099.
As you see, a basic understanding of income tax rates and how they're apply to different investments and their holding periods is critical to reducing how much IRS gets from you over a lifetime. Shockingly, the difference in taxes could easily be over $100,000 for someone with $100,000 of investments.
You Pay More Taxes Than NecessaryAnd we guarantee your CPA has never told you The problem with paying taxes is that most people overpay. So if you are concerned about having enough in retirement, you must stop overpaying taxes. I know you think your CPA takes care of this for you. WRONG. I AM a CPA (retired) and I can tell you that 90% of CPAs do nothing more than enter your information into the little boxes on the tax return but NEVER tell you how to pay less next year. Why? Many of them simply do not know what we can show you. In ten minutes.

Can it really be ten years? Amazingly, the comedy that propelled former X-FM DJ Ricky Gervais and co-writer Stephen Merchant to international stardom made its debut on BBC 2 on July 9, 2001. A decade on and its still one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time.
But back then it was truly revolutionary with many people thinking initially that David Brent was a real person in a real documentary, rather than a fictional character in an inventive sitcom.
With the inevitable Office 10th Anniversary Edition released on DVD in October, we mark the landmark birthday with 10 facts you may or may not know about the hit series:
1) The Office started life in 1997 as a sketch Ricky Gervais wrote called 'Seedy Boss'. He named that boss David Brent.
2) The first scene ever written was the one where Brent interviews Karen Roper for the job of PA in episode 5.
3) The first demo tape of the office was shot in the real office where Ricky used to work. Many of the people in the background actually worked there.
4) The demo was shot in one day.
5) Originally Martin Freeman auditioned for the part of Gareth. Ricky first met Martin when he helped write the series Bruiser, which Martin starred in. He met Mackenzie Crook when they worked together on The 11 O'clock Show.
6) In the French version (Le Bureau) the stapler in jelly becomes a stapler in Fromage.
7) The record number of takes for one scene is 74. It's the one where Brent gives Tim an appraisal.
8) Due to overseas sales, DVDs and now syndication The Office, has grossed an estimated £370 million worldwide.
9) It is shown in 170 territories, in 88 countries. It has been remade in 8: US, France, Canada, Germany, Israel, Chile, Sweden and Russia.
10) It was the first British Sitcom to win a Golden Globe. The second was Ricky Gervais' Extras. They are still the only two.

Farbenfroh: Colorful Expressions
Color Meanings in German
German Color Symbolism and Expressions
Every language has its own colorful expressions and symbolism, including German. But here we're talking about colorful (bunt, farbenfroh) in a literal sense: expressions that contain grün, rot, blau, schwarz, braun, and other colors.
In English we can "feel blue," "be yellow," or "see red." In German these colors may or may not have the same meaning. In an earlier feature, Idioms: Talk like a German, I mentioned several blau idioms, because "blau" can have numerous meanings in German, including "drunk" or "black" (as in "black eye"). You may also want to look at our German Colors (Farben) page and its complete color chart.
In Germany and Austria political parties are often identified by or associated with a specific color. Both the Austrian and German conservative parties are black (schwarz), while the socialists are red (rot). Various other political parties in German-speaking Europe are identified by other colors, and one political coalition is even called a "traffic-light" coalition (Ampelkoalition, i.e., red, yellow, green - SPD, FDP, Grüne).
Below, we expand on the color(ful) vocabulary theme to include a mix of several colors. This is a representative collection and is not meant to be exhaustive. It also leaves out expressions that are similar or the same in English, i.e., "rot sehen" (to see red), "die Welt durch eine rosa Brille sehen" (to see the world through rose colored glasses), etc. But it includes words that contain a color (eine Farbe), especially when the meaning varies from the English.
Also see German Idioms for color expressions.

If you have—or are planning to have—private student loans, your credit score and credit report are crucial pieces of information that can either save or cost you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.
Much like your high school grade point average (GPA) is used by colleges to determine your likelihood to succeed at their institutions, your credit scores tell financial institutions how likely you are to be able to pay them back. If you have low credit scores, they may charge you more—in the form of a higher interest rate—because they are not sure you will actually pay back the full amount of the loan. If you have high credit scores, there is less risk to the lender and they may charge lower interest rates.
Your credit scores are determined by the details within your credit history, which is documented and compiled by consumer reporting agencies. This credit report contains addresses where you have lived, credit cards, loans and other lines of credit that you have (or had), how long you have had each credit source, and how you pay them down. Late payments, defaults, bankruptcies, and even judgements are all documented in your credit report. Because your credit scores affect how much you will pay for your loans, and if you will qualify for a loan, you will want to keep an eye on your credit report to make sure that the information it contains is accurate, and to see if there are items you could improve upon.
By law, you are entitled to one free credit report each year from any of the three major credit bureaus , so a great way to celebrate Get Smart About Credit Month would be to pull your credit report (if you haven't already), and see what it tells you. You have to pay to see your calculated credit score—each credit bureau compiles your credit score with the data they have on file for you, so you may have a slightly different score at each bureau. If you don't want to pay, you can try to calculate it yourself.

Tuesday, March 25, 2014
BRUNSWICK, GA (AP) -- Divers are searching a marshy area near the Georgia coastline for a small plane that went missing near St. Simons Island.
Authorities have said a twin-engine Piper PA-44 disappeared from radar Monday evening in an area known as Wally's Leg. Investigators have said the plane departed from Concord, N.C. and was headed for Jacksonville, Fla.
National Transportation Safety Board investigator Shawn Etcher said Tuesday that authorities using sonar devices found objects in an area of water that's roughly 12 to 15-feet deep. The cause of the crash is unclear, and the passengers on board have not been identified.
Etcher says investigators have recovered small pieces of debris, but haven't found the plane or its passengers yet. Etcher says the debris appears to be concentrated in a relatively small area.

Kerry issues warning after Syria bombs Iraq
BAGHDAD — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned Mideast nations today against taking new military action in Iraq that might heighten sectarian divisions, as reports surfaced that Syria launched airstrikes across the border and Iran flew surveillance drones over the neighboring country.
A senior Iraqi military official confirmed that Syrian warplanes bombed militants' positions Tuesday in and near the border crossing in the town of Qaim. He said Iraq's other neighbors — Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey — were all bolstering flights just inside their airspace to monitor the situation. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Saturday Fun & Teaching
Saturday we spent the day with some great folks looking at light. We went to the Great Falls, NJ to take advantage of this little slice of nature in the middle of industry to play with light. We worked with nature and with models, this is the very lovely Olena. This first photo was taken in broad daylight at highnoon! Can you tell? Shot with the D4 and 50f/1.4AFS (@ f/2.8), there is a Lastolite 1 stop Trigrip diffuser literally resting on the lens barrel just out of frame. This is right out of the Joe McNally magical world of great lighting play book that I learned from him. It's real simple, big, wrapping light source in relationship to the subject. The light is the sun, a small light source far away. The Lastolite makes that light much bigger and wrapping. And Olena, well what a great subject to wrap in light!
Then I saw this killer stairway and at first, shot it as just a cool stairway. Then the top that Olena was wearing got me thinking and you see the outcome. I would have love to had more light shaping tools to make more of the situation. What we did was a real simple click shot with D4 and 70-200VR2 (@f/11) and the light falling on the sign. Really doesn't do justice to Olena but she had fun working it.
I was very fortunate to co-led the teaching with my good bud Jeff Cable. During his session, he had Olena working this large wall in the shade. I mean, deep shade! Using though a Soft Gold Lastolite Trigrip again just out of the frame even though it had no direct light hitting it, you can see how it opened up the shadows and lit up Olena's gorgeous brown eyes. The background is very important to me, so Olena was leaning in a specific spot and the Lastolite was not flat but bent and curved to sculpt the light to wrap it around Olena's feature. What we did was a real simple click shot with D4 and 70-200VR2 (@f/8)
It was a great day exploring light. We started with fall color, then worked with our models and then finished up with Great Falls. The whole time, we were looking at light which, not matter if your subject is a leaf, rock, person or critter, you learn light and you can apply it to anything to tell it and your story. Thanks to all for a great day!

Information-technology retailing executives have a lot going on at the moment. They are simultaneously facing challenges as basic as labor and as complex as systems integration. But, those issues aside, much of the interest from such executives is now being focused on Internet-based opportunities, whether business-to-business or business-to-consumer. At least that's the strong indication gleaned from the "Technology Roundtable" special report that begins on Page 21 of this week's SN. The ...

The man behind The Impossible Cool talks style, art, and well-dressed men.
This feature is a part of Complex's "Tumblr Generation" Week.
Written by Jian DeLeon (@jiandeleon)
In Sean Sullivan's world, legends never die.
Unfortunately, that isn't the case in reality. Over the years, Sullivan has garnered a respectable online following on his Tumblr, The Impossible Cool, which is known for its simple black-and-white photos of actors, musicians, and other notable figures who may have burnt out, but certainly never faded away. Photos of Joe Strummer and B.B. King are sandwiched between portraits of Robert Redford and Thelonius Monk. The stark white background and minimal design almost make the carefully thought out site seem like a photo album of the best-dressed people of all time.
Three months ago, the photographer left his New York City home in a 1972 Mercedes 280SE. American leather luggage company Ghurka has paid him to go west and photograph their fall offerings. When he has downtime, he documents his journey on Ghurka's Rangefinder blog, touted as a "traveling photo and video essay that spotlights the best of the American road," and named after a Ghurka bag specifically manufactured for Leica, a brand name that makes camera nerds salivate. It's also built on the Tumblr platform.
I always wanted to convey the spirit that you don't have to do a certain thing or make a certain amount of money to be 'cool.'
"I'm looking at Tumblr these days as more like an entire project as opposed to daily content streams," says Sullivan. "I like the idea of launching a Tumblr that's almost already 'done' so people can go through the whole experience all at once rather than wait for new content."
Like many popular Tumblr users, Sullivan has been able to funnel his site's success into lucrative opportunities, and for him that means putting his photography skills to use for brands like J. Crew, Wolverine, and Cole Haan. In fact, these previous projects are what piqued Ghurka's interest to hire him for this campaign. While a lot of planning went into the cross-country expedition, Sullivan still runs into some snags. For one, his vintage ride may not survive the odyssey.
"A 1970s Mercedes isn't meant to be driven across the country," he laments. "When those cars were made, speed limits were like, 45 miles-per-hour probably. Blasting down highways at 80 miles-per-hour in a Mercedes that was built before I was born is just… it's a lot," admits Sullivan. "By the time I made it to Louisiana, I was looking at a map of the United States and staring at this massive drive across Texas. The thought of anything happening to that car in the middle of nowhere bugged me out."
Sullivan is also worried that the Mercedes' old-school security systems won't keep his camera equipment safe. So the decision is made to switch to a rental car for the trek's next phase—a decidedly less cool Ford Edge, a mid-size SUV with rounded edges and a wide grill that looks like an amalgam of an Autobot and R2-D2. What it lacks in street cred, vintage appeal, and Tumblr-ready photogenicity it makes up for with amenities like cruise control and satellite radio.
It's actually a blessing in disguise, because now the 34-year-old photographer can focus more on finishing the campaign than worrying about things like blown gaskets and overheated carburetors. As Sullivan wraps up the last leg of the tour—a long drive from Northern California all the way to Los Angeles—he takes some time off the open road to talk about his other journey: How he went from a Tumblr blogger to a rustic photographer with a style all his own.
Do you think your experiences with the Mercedes are a microcosm for that whole "life on the Internet in photos" versus "real life" aspect?
Oh totally! You can go through Tumblr and see these beautiful images of old cars. The first car we were going to use was a Land Rover Defender, and it was the same thing. They look amazing on the Internet, and then when I test-drove the thing, it was like driving a tin can. The seats were metal, they didn't recline, and the thought of hitting 120-degree weather in the middle of the Mojave Desert was the first reason why we didn't it. Yes, they look cool, but it reality, after you think it out, you realize you're living in a bit of a fantasy.
How long have you been into photography and video?
I started five years ago. I worked in the film business for a long time. I worked in the location department and moved up into the production world. I got burnt out on that. I've always taken photography seriously; I even went to school for filmmaking. I got sidetracked after college and decided to stop working and go out on my own.
When did you first move to New York?
I think it was the summer of 2003. I grew up in Philly, and I graduated high school and then moved around. I didn't know what I wanted to do so I traveled for two years, came out west, spent some time out here, then ended up back in Philly. I went to college but didn't finish, so I left and moved up to New York.
I always visited New York when I was younger because Philly was so close. I was a skater and that was one of the other cities we went to skate, and write graffiti. I've lived in New York for the past ten years. I plan on moving to California, but I'm keeping my place in New York. I want to head out there and really get my feet wet. There's a lot to do out in LA, so after this trip I'm going to give it a try.
When did you join Tumblr?
I joined it when it first launched, sometime around June 2007. I had a Blogspot at the time, but didn't want to do Wordpress because it felt dirty. This really started out as something I just did for fun. Tumblr at that time was the easiest platform to use: It was very user friendly. Another thing was that I hated the comments on the other platforms. The feedback was negative. I wanted to keep negativity away from the site. I didn't want people to talk shit about who slept with whom. I wanted a site that really presented the people.
So there was a sense of purity about it?
Exactly! You're really just presenting it to the people. You're not offering an opinion. You're just giving it to people.
Was Tumblr a little bit easier for you to use as a visually oriented person?
Oh yeah, totally. Whenever I mention the beginning, I always have to give a shout to Justin Saunders at JJJJound. In my memory, he was the first person to actually do the never-ending picture stream.
Yeah, Justin is a pioneer in that sense.
Totally! He was doing that before Tumblr was around. I always thought that was super cool because you can start to create stories inside this photo stream—which a lot of people do now. So yes, being a visual person was also great for the Tumblr platform.
Was the idea always to post these iconic photos of celebrities?
Actually, that came from when I first moved to New York. I was working for Paul Smith in the suit room, back in the old haberdashery on Fifth Avenue.

"One of the most responsable of my fantasies when I was young"
Tarzan with Mile Henry!
Next you can watch a selection with guys dressing a Loincloth!
The loincloth or breechcloth is a basic form of dress, often worn as an only garment. Men have worn a loincloth or breechcloth as a fundamental piece of clothing which covers their genitals – not the buttocks – in most societies throughout human history which disapproved of genital nakedness. The loincloth is in essence a piece of material, bark-bast, leather or cloth, passed between the legs covering the genitals. Despite this simpleness of function the loincloth takes many forms.

(New Orleans, LA) The Dillard University theater program will continue its 79th season with a six-performance run of "Homegirls," a play by Karen L.B. Evans about student activists during the Civil Rights movement during the 1960s. The show opens on Friday, March 28 and runs throughSunday, April 6 in Cook Theatre on Dillard's campus.
Against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement five young college women - four black and one white - strive to maintain their friendships and find their way into adulthood. In the spirit of the movement, the characters in the play are an amalgamation of founders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee or SNCC (pronounced snick), the student-led organization most famous for the lunch counter sit-ins of the early 1960′s. SNCC was involved in nonviolent resistance to the injustices of segregation in America through Freedom Rides, marches, and voter registration drives and, by 1963, SNCC was a key player in organizing the monumental March on Washington.
Dillard University's theater is the oldest Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Theater in the country. Last year it won the Big Easy Award for Best University Theater Production for "Two Trains Running"; and has been nominated again this year for the Big Easy Award for Best Theater Production for "Dream Girls."
Ray Vrazel, assistant professor of theater at Dillard, directs the production of "Homegirls." To purchase tickets, call the Dillard box office at (504) 816-4857.

How Do I Get Full Market Value For my House, Is it Possible?
Call NOW on 0800 68 99 420 or Fill in the Online form, put your postcode in the quote form above and we will be gald to chat through the options with you!
Sell House Fast For Cash – Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Is it possible to get nearly full market value for my house or is it just a scam?
Answer: Market Value is the value of your home on the open market given a reasonable period to sell and exposure to a sufficient number of potential buyers. Online portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla can provide such a marketplace. MOST of our customers homes are marketed on these portals therefore getting 94% of SALE price for your home is not a scam. Whether the 'sale value' is 'market value' is open to interpretation but we believe that properties sold in this way are at 'Market Value' ie a fair refection of a property's worth.
Many Flying Homes Clients' have received more than 94% of the sale price of their home when they have used our service.
Question: Can you prove it, do you have any actual examples of customers getting 94% of sale price?
Answer: Of course check out our recently sold homes with actual addresses and the prices achieved, then check these with the Land Registry and Zoopla or Rightmove. Some customers received less than 94% of the sale price and some more, but on average it was around the 94% mark.
Question: What do other quick house sale companies charge and why, is 65 or 70% the norm?
Answer: Many other fast property buyers only offer 65 or 70% of your property's sale price when they buy a house fast for cash, but it depends how quick you need to sell, there's fast and there's really fast, some have the cash to complete a sale in 24 hours, which is possible but unlikely. FACT, the more desperate you are to sell, the lower the price you will be offered for your home.
Question: Can a house really be sold in 60 seconds or do I need to wait longer than that?
Answer: Yes, possibly and no! Generally yes if it's at auction, or if a buyer and seller meet and exchange contracts or sign a binding agreement for the sale of a property; then technically a sale is agreed but selling a house this fast is pretty unlikely.
If you were to ask any companies that advertise 'sold in 60 seconds' how many houses have you bought in 60 seconds then the answer is likely to be very very few or none. But sold in 60 seconds is a catchy marketing phrase designed to attract visitors, just like cash for homes, or national homebuyers etc. It is likely that sold in 60 seconds could mean that a sale is 'agreed' in 60 seconds!
Question: Can I really get cash for my home (cash for homes?)
Answer: No, not really. The idea of a buyer coming up your garden path with a wheelbarrow full of readies, is all a bit dell boy-ish. Again, technically it's possible, but too many questions would be asked by the bank or solicitor of house buyer and house seller. Rules and regulations preventing this were introduced by the UK government to avoid money laundering by criminals, as in the past, investing in property was an easy way to launder money from the proceeds of crime.
Question Can I get a cash offer in 24 hours?
Answer: Yes, and many a house buyer will be happy to do this, although cash as can be seen from above is unlikely to be paid directly to you, but the 'buyer may have cash in the bank and not need to rely on a mortgage, or maybe the buyer has an 'overdraft facility' whereby he can simply write out a cheque in full for a property without the tedious process of applying for finance.
What should I do next if I want to sell my home for full market value?
It's Simple.
Check the value of your home with our free online property valuation tool, then and then compare with what we can offer you. Get a cash offer and sell your house fast for cash, a sale agreed, sold in 60 seconds! We are sure that you will get the best price paid (on average 94% of the selling price) with Flying Homes' Help!

WILLIAMSTOWN-Just in time for turkey, pumpkin pie and most importantly, family, nine members of the West Virginia Army National Guard who were deployed for 10 months had their boots back on home ground Wednesday.
Arriving at the Williamstown Readiness Center Wednesday morning were members of Detachment 28 Operation Support Airlift Command, who were greeted by the Patriot Guard Riders, American Red Cross, American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The homecoming for the nine soldiers, who had been serving in Africa, was a sweet one filled with laughs, tears, giant hugs and kisses from loved ones.

1st Lt. Michael Howard holds his 5-year-old daughter Micah close.
Jenny Gates was one of those loved ones. Her husband is Sgt. Shawn Gates.
"I'm just anxious and glad he's coming home and glad he's safe," Gates said of her husband. "It's a lot to deal with when you're on your own. You want to try and make sure everything is taken care of."
"I'm very excited and have a lot of different emotions," she said.
During the ceremony, Sgt. Gates received a promotion to Staff Sergeant.
"I'm excited," he said. "It's new challenges ahead that are welcomed."
He said he was thrilled to finally be home.
"It's exhilarating," Gates said. "It's been a long time coming. Hopefully it's the last time I'll have to leave my family."
First Lt. Michael Howard spoke during the ceremony about the good the unit did in Africa, where it was aiding in anti-terrorism and humanitarian efforts.
"We contributed so much to the war effort," Howard said. "We earned a reputation that nobody will be able to match."
After completing eight days of pre-mobilization training at Camp Atterbury, they arrived in Djibouti, Africa on March 1, 2013.
The nine soldiers that make up DET 28 conducted 164 missions in Africa, executing more than 1,275 flight hours and flying 110,610 pounds of cargo and 822 passengers across Africa.
"They flew across the entire continent," Maj. Fred Nicely said. "They were moving cargo, equipment and personnel across Africa in support of operations."
Howard said he was elated at seeing his family again Wednesday.
"It's better than good," he said, grinning.
Howard's daughter, Micah, 5, was clinging to him.
"We're going to play and read books," he said with a laugh. "And then I can decompress."
Howard's wife, Megan, said immediate plans were going to consist of family time.
"We'll mainly just spend time together," she said. "And (there will be) no electronic devices!"
Howard's other daughter, Malia, 15, said it felt great to have her father home.
"It's been way too long," she said.
Cheryl Shamblen was thinking ahead to holiday plans with her husband, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Don Shamblen.
"It's such a relief to know he's home safe," she said. "It's peace of mind. Now I'm going to have him put up Christmas lights."
Chief Warrant Officer 4 Scott Lohr spoke of his desire for home.
"It's great, but it's cold," he said. "I want to get a good night's sleep. And get some good food."
Assistant Adjutant General Charles Veit, in his speech during the ceremony, thanked the families of the soldiers for their sacrifice.
"Thank you for letting us borrow your loved ones," he said. "They serve because you allow them to serve."
The DET 28 is made up of Commanders Chief Warrant Officer 5 Steven Owens and 1st Lt. Michael Howard; Detachment Sergeant Sgt. 1st Class Ron Stanley; Flight Operations NCO Sgt. Shawn Gates; and Aviators Chief Warrant Officer 4 Scott Lohr, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Zack Dickinson, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Mike Lazorchak, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Chris Mackey and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Don Shamblen.

Expression Pattern of Class B Gene PAP3 in Flower Development of Pepper
AbstractClass B gene APETALA3 (AP3) plays a key role in the development of petals and stamens. Here, we investigated the expression pattern of PAP3 gene (genbank accession number: HM104635) in the buds of cytoplasmic male sterility line 121A and its near-isogenic restorer line 121C at four developmental stages and analyzed the possible association between Class B genes and cytoplasmic male sterility of pepper. Semi-quantitative PCR and quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) as well as RNA in situ hybridization showed increased expression of PAP3 at late phase of anther development and its higher expression in restorer line compared with sterility line indicating PAP3's role at late developmental stage of anther and suppressed expression in sterility line. RNA in situ hybridization showed Class B gene features: high abundance in stamen and petal; lower expression in pistil; no expression in sepal. Results of transient expression in onion epidermal cells also showed PAP3 localized in the nucleus, which is consistent with the expression pattern of transcription factors of MADS-box gene family.
