With the third overall pick, the Caps made history by selecting 17-year-old Bobby Carpenter, the first US high school product ever taken in the first round. Carpenter made the jump from high school to the NHL, scoring 30 goals in each of his first two seasons with the Caps. He scored 53 goals in 1984-85, but never attained the superstar status that had been predicted of him.
The Caps made two other noteworthy selections. Gaetan Duchesne was taken in the eighth round, and he became a top-notch defensive forward for Washington in the 1980s. Duchesne went on to play in more than 1,000 NHL games and stands as one of the Capitals' best ever late-round sleeper picks. Chris Valentine went 191 picks after Carpenter, but he also scored 30 goals as a rookie for the Caps in 1981-82. He was unable to sustain that level success in the NHL, however.
Quebec took forward (and future Cap) Mike Eagles with the 116th overall pick while the Colorado Rockies selected center (and future Caps assistant coach) Tim Army with the 171st pick.
Hindsight is 20/20: Carpenter was a great pick, but the Caps would have done better to take Ron Francis, selected by Hartford with the fourth overall pick. Ironically, the Whalers wanted Carpenter badly and were miffed when the Caps leap-frogged them to get the New England schoolboy. The Caps' second pick, defenseman Eric Calder, was a washout as the Caps just missed a chance at a Hall of Fame blueliner. Montreal grabbed Chris Chelios with the 40th overall pick, so the Caps did not have a shot at him with their third-round pick. Two longtime NHL defensemen -- Bruce Driver and Steve Smith -- went in the sixth round.

I should explain that I have been in the home-based business field for some time and own several websites myself, so I have some experience in this field; therefore I suspected that this alleged hard sales technique was leading to some kind of scam. I finally decided to hang up.
My curiosity got the best of me so I decided to do a google search for a company called Image Incentives. No luck there so I tried Smart Advertising Solutions. I hit the jackpot with that name and even found this site using that name. Next I called the Arizona Attorney General's office and was directed to the Better Business Bureau. The representative at the BBB started giving me a verbal report on Smart Advertising Solutions, which included a payment to the State of Arizona in the amount of $225,000.00 in fines.
I informed the representative that the company was now operating under the name of Image Incentives and she added that name to their list of AKAs.
I then went to the Arizona website at www.arizonabbb.org, entered the Smart Advertising Solutions in the company search field and printed out a five page report on this company. Check it out for yourself.
I can only imagine that if this company came up with $225,000.00 to pay a fine, how much money this company must be earning with this alleged scam.
My only hope is that because of companies like this you don't become discouraged with the home-based business industry. It is estimated that there are over 144,000,000 home-based businesses and that number is growing rapidly. Unfortunately, like any other industry, there are companies that are not legitimate. Always check things out before you get involved. If you feel you are getting high pressured, that is a sure sign that something is wrong. Normally if you do a google search and add the word "scam" to the end of the company name in question, you will see if other people on the web have had problems with the company.

BEWARE I received a cold call from Image Incentive John Strummer on Home phone and never signed up for any such company
AUTHOR: Jon - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, July 23, 2008POSTED: Wednesday, July 23, 2008
John Strummer says the company he's with is Image Incentive and not a program , why does he say that if this is a legitimate company? The City of Tempe , AR business tax and license department has no such business or salesperson listed with them , again why is that? It looks to me like either your hiding something from anybody looking for infromation on Image Incentive/Smart Advertising Solutions a suppossed legitimate company/program, why is there no information on Image Incentive so anyone can check out your information on what your company does if this is a legitimate company/program? You only want us to call so you can run your hard sales pitch instead of actually letting people know what kind of company you really are , and the customer lies or is embarrassed about not working for your company?
That just proves what kind of operation Image Incentive is running a high pressure gotta get in now , sounds like another scam when nobody can get information about your legitimate company/program. John Strummer Image Incentive Tempe, AR (480) 588-0703 City of Tempe Arizona has no such company listed in Tax and license department or any such person listed for any company in Tempe, AR per City employee Shelley Heam and Hugh Hallman.

#4 UPDATE Employee
AUTHOR: Drummer - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, July 03, 2008POSTED: Thursday, July 03, 2008
1. Our company name is and has always been Smart Advertising Solutions. We sell a home based business opportunity called Image Incentives (imageincentives.com) Same owner, same location, same phone number, same employees same business. Our office is located at 3015 S. 48th St. Tempe AZ 85282, and we have been in the same location for over 5 years, and have 0 unresolved complaints against us with the Better Business Bureau.
2. The Attourney General Fine was for a post card (mail piece) that we had sent out to generate interest in our program. The mail piece did not have a disclaimer message stating "results may vary". We paid our fine, changed our post card and have had no problems since. We could have just changed our name, and opened up a different office and turned our back from the problem. ( Like most scam call centers do.) Also if you read the B.B.B. report in its entirety you will see that the B.B.B. states "Smart Advertising Solutions admits no guilt to these allegations." This clearly displays our willingness to pay our fine and be in compliance regardless of our personal beliefs as to what acceptable marketing entails.
3. We ONLY call individuals who request information on a home based business opportunity and do not exercise the practice of "cold calling". We also give our first and last name, phone number, location and announce to our prospective client that different represenative will be on the phone after a seven minute audio presentation has been played. We don't surprise our customers with the cost of the business either. The cost of the program ($395, $295 or $195) is disclosed prior to the presentation as well as the business model's basic concept. After our client pays their initial start up costs there ARE NO MONTLY FEES FOR ANYTING. The only other cost for their website is an annual fee of $25 per year, and any advertising they wish to do.
4. Our file number with the State of Arizona is 10879014, and can be researched at azsos.gov. (Arizona Secretary of State ) There is also a "Corporation in Good Standing" certificate that anyone can print off to insure we are who we say we are, and that we are in good standing.
How could all this be true, and still people go online and make false statements regarding our company? Here are a couple of reasons for this behavior.
1. Lack of start up capital.
- Some individuals are turned off at the practice of "pre qualifying" for the availability of start up capital. All real businesses require some type of investment in order to have an honest chance at making an income. We ask our customers if at least $200 is affordable on a debit or credit card before playing our audio sales presentation.
2. Frustration with multiple sales calls from different organizations.
- Many of our clients, and prospective customers recieve dozens of sales calls soon after their inquiry has been made online or offline. When a customer makes an inquiry about a particular home based business opportunity, this "lead" is sold over and over again to many different sales organizations. This can create a multitude of calls to the customer.
3. Lies
- The customer lies about the affordability of the business and enters the sales call under false pretenses. When asked what method of payment they would like to use after the presentation is made, this often causes a series of excuses as to why they can not get started. This in turn can cause embarassment, and inferiority issues with the customer.
4. Jealousy
- Are some of our clients successful with our promotional product program? Yes, absoloutely. Are all our customers successful? No. We are not a get rich quick business opportunity, and therefore have no desire to work with those who do not have the drive to be successful. Many people are impulse buyers and do nothing with their business. The ones that do follow through and do well are envyed by all the negative quitters.
We pride ourselves in providing our clients with a rock solid, quality home business that really works. Our program was launched after 18 months of research and develpment, and has helped us align ourselves with household names such as Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, Sharpie, Bic, Bella, 3M and dozens of other household names. The truth of the matter is we lose money in most cases when we set up our customers in the business. When you factor in paying our salespeople, paying our customer service department to help our clients and their clients, website hosting and maintenance and paying our web developers - it costs us money to get our clients involved. Why do we do this? We make a commission every time one of our clients has an order processed throught their product center website. This is a revenue stream that could continue for years to come for our company depending on how successful our client is. The bottom line - we have a vested interest in how our clients perform with the business.
I hope that I have cleared up any false accusations made by those who use this forum to make erroneous statements. Anyone that has a question about what I have posted, or concerns regarding our company, I urge you to call us direct at 800-746-6753 ext. 4525 and we would be glad to answer any questions you have. Thank you.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

PRINCETON, N.J. — At a six-month-old Whole Foods Market here, shoppers can find all of their beauty needs in one location. Not only can they buy freshly baked organic breads, they can procure all-natural cosmetics and hair care in a large beauty care department located in the center of the store.
Over the past few years, health and beauty has become a bigger part of the 169-store Whole Foods equation. But Whole Foods isn't the only supermarket fattening up on beauty. At a time when drug chains are shrinking cosmetics departments, supermarkets are beefing them up.
Manufacturers also are putting more effort into the trade channel. Revlon, for example, is continuing on the success of what it dubs the Revlon Express program, a condensed and convenient offering of the brand's most popular lip, face, eye and nail products. Revlon Express was introduced in 2004 in a four foot wall configuration. New for 2005 is an Express Spinner, which contains the same full category assortment as Revlon's 4-foot Express wall, but on a spinning rack. "Now any retailer with four empty tiles in their store can offer a complete cosmetic category to their shoppers," said David Gugino, vice president, customer marketing for Revlon.
Revlon Express and other manufacturer-driven programs are designed to tempt shoppers while they are on food-shopping trips. Even with these efforts, however, supermarket sales lagged last year.
Face makeup sales dropped 4.1 percent to $136 million in supermarkets for the 52-week period ended Jan. 23, according to Information Resources Inc. Nail dipped 5.3 percent to $99 million, lip declined 10.3 percent to $84 million and eye was off 4.2 percent to $134 million for the same period. All cosmetics categories declined across all mass outlets except eye, according to the IRI statistics.
Vowing to reverse the drop, supermarkets are adopting three different philosophies for surviving in beauty. The basic strategies are selling exclusive natural products, convenient selections or full-blown beauty presentations.
Whole Foods represents the natural route — a collection of natural beauty products are housed in the all-natural food setting. Most of these products are only available at stores such as Whole Foods or Wild Oats. Whole Foods calls its beauty area Whole Body. One store in Manhattan has a freestanding area devoted solely to beauty. Last week, Whole Foods unveiled a new unit in Union Square with a makeup station featuring a testing area where consumers can select samples to take home. According to a Whole Foods spokesman, plans call for another New Jersey store to open in Middletown this summer.
This story first appeared in the April 1, 2005 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The natural beauty products industry has become more sophisticated in the past five years. For example, ShiKai makes natural hair care inspired by John Frieda with formulas to enhance brown and blonde hair. There are also C.O. Bigelow-style products under the Maxwell's Apothecary logo.
New marketers have joined natural staples such as Burt's Bees, Ecco Bella, Jason and Kiss My Face. The shelves at Whole Foods also feature Desert Essence, Aura Cacia, Nature's Gate, Bach and Masada. Capitalizing on its food heritage, Whole Foods merchandises beauty adjacent to nutritionals and distributes coupon books linking beauty and vitamins.
Convenient cosmetics departments are represented at the bulk of the nation's supermarkets. In these stores, the selection is tight and features mostly Maybelline, Cover Girl and Sally Hansen nail care. With Revlon's push into food, more and more stores have added Revlon. In these stores, beauty only represents one aisle and the products are rarely promoted. The best examples of convenient sets include ShopRite, Kings, Publix, Winn-Dixie and Safeway. Sometimes within these chains, however, there will be certain stores that fall into the full-blown category. "One thing you have to remember is that cosmetics are a slow-turning category that the supermarket industry is not used to," said Gary Crawford, who oversees nonfoods at United Supermarkets. But, he said, when done right, beauty can boost margins.
Supermarkets with extensive beauty care departments such as Wegmans and HEB sell almost every brand offered to the mass market. In some cases, these stores have more beauty inventory than competing drugstores. One retailer, Kowalski's, even has an Aveda salon situated in one of its stores. Many experts think these chains will be the next to follow in chain drugstore's footsteps and add upscale skin care selections.
"There are plenty of opportunities for supermarkets to make a bigger connection between women's health and beauty," suggested Roy White, vice president of education for the General Merchandise Distributors' Council. "When that's accomplished, the food channel will show positive cosmetics gains."
Ice Box Inc. signed a deal last week for the rights to distribute Tinkerbell Cosmetics. Created as a safe "play" cosmetics line for children, Tinkerbell has been used by three generations of girls. The brand was phased out by Dana after it acquired Renaissance Cosmetics. Now, Ice Box's Isaac Gindi plans to resurrect the line, which includes princess-themed beauty products such as peel-off nail polish.

Sprint [NYSE:S], ranked No. 3 on Newsweek's Green Rankings, is celebrating America Recycles Day by raising awareness of the importance of recycling old cell phones as electronic waste continues to be the fastest growing waste stream in the country. Last year alone, Sprint recycled more than 11 million wireless devices, over 211,000 on average per week, as electronic waste continues to be the fastest growing waste stream in the country.
This past week, the wireless carrier emphasized its phone reuse and recycling efforts by highlighting Sprint's Buyback program at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in Phoenix; launching a phone recycling pledge where customers can win one of five rewards cards worth $500 (now through Nov. 30); and posting a video online that illustrates how old cell phones can gain a "second life" while reducing the amount of electronic waste in the marketplace.
Last year, manufacturers produced more than 1.68 billion wireless phones worldwide. In the United States alone, it's estimated that fewer than 10 percent of discarded mobile phones will be recycled. In 2001, Sprint recognized the trend and got serious about helping solve the growing threat of electronic waste.
Sprint developed a phone trade-in program and was the first U.S. wireless carrier to provide an instant credit at point of sale, as well as allow customers to bring back any phone from any carrier, now known as the Sprint Buyback program. Today, an average of four out of every 10 customers who visit a Sprint retail store participates in the program. This has resulted in more than $75 million going back into customers' pockets just this year. The environmental benefit: Sprint has collected more than 4,000 metric tons of electronic waste – more than 40 million wireless devices – through its takeback programs since 2001. It's also helped the company avoid more than $1 billion in cost.
"Making our business more sustainable is really part of our DNA at Sprint," said Fared Adib, senior vice president of product development and reverse logistics. "You can't be in our industry, put the amount of product into the market that we do, and not think through the full lifecycle. We're proud that we've been recognized as having the industry's leading buyback program despite our No. 3 position in the market – and we believe these efforts will contribute to Sprint's long-term success."
Sprint continues to be recognized for its recycling practices. Buyback's convenience – both in Sprint retail locations and online – and ability to accept competitor devices led to Compass Intelligence recognizing Sprint as having the best trade-in program in the industry for two years in a row. In September, Sprint was recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its leadership as the only wireless carrier to join the EPA's Sustainable Materials Management Electronics Challenge. As a participant, Sprint will strive to send 100 percent of the electronics it collects to third-party certified refurbishers and recyclers and to increase the amount of used electronics collected.
Sprint is the first and only U.S. wireless carrier to outline specific commitments that address electronic waste (e-waste) holistically. Its Electronics Stewardship Policy, developed with guidance from BSR, Basel Action Network and ABI Research, focuses on the full lifecycle of the electronics it buys and sells. It publicly states Sprint will strive to design and buy greener electronics, extend the useful life of equipment, boost the collection of used equipment, maximize the reuse of electronics, and responsibly recycle the rest through third-party certified vendors.
Sprint will host a recycling event tomorrow at one of its downtown Chicago retail locations on North La Salle Street. Individuals who recycle a phone will have the opportunity to meet five-time NBA champion and legend Bill Cartwright, and receive a free Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Fun Pass good for one day of unlimited rides (while supplies last). The event runs from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and coincides with the recent launch of 4G LTE service in the Chicagoland area.
Sprint continues to be recognized for its leadership in environmental device recycling practices, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and managing natural resources. Last month's Newsweek Green Rankings announcement also coincided with the release of Sprint's annual Corporate Responsibility Performance Summary which provides greater detail on how the company, the only wireless carrier to crack the top 25, continues to advance its environmental business practices and policies.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The New Orleans Saints have confirmed that
running back Reggie Bush had surgery on his left knee, and will require months of rehabilitation.
However, Bush is expected to be ready for minicamp in June. The surgery in December entailed drilling small holes in the bone around the knee joint in order to generate soft tissue that mimics the padding effect of cartilage.
Bush has had repeated problems with his left knee the past two seasons. He was placed on injured reserve after the latest injury in the Dec. 11 game against Chicago.
Bush's injury initially was reported as a sprained medial collateral ligament, which doesn't usually require surgery. But the team confirmed Wednesday that he had surgery.

Rekha annoyed by Govindaya Namaha bosses
It is surprising to note that the large part of the audience does not even know that Rekha is part of Govindaya Namaha. Sources say that the blame has to be put on the movie bosses, who have completely sidelined her for other actress Parul Yadav.
In fact, Rekha's absence from the audio release of Govindaya Namaha was clear indication of the tiff between the actress and the movie bosses. Adding to that the actress is not seen in any of the promotional materials of the upcoming Kannada movie.

Accident Waiting to Happen. Salary: $20,000
"With Deepest Sympathy" cards were not meant for the flowers for the Cleary wedding. "Congratulations" did not work so well for the Wong funeral, either. It's a good thing your arrangements looked so pretty that no one even noticed the cards. Close one.
Retail Royalty. Salary: $24,000
Plenty of Easter lilies sold last Easter. Plenty of poinsettias sold last Christmas. Plenty of Dutch irises sold last Squirrel Appreciation Day...though no one can really explain how you did it. You'll probably sell just as many saguaro cactus flowers on Corn on the Cob Day. Your employer likes what he sees.
Avid Arranger. Salary: $36,000
Who needs all these silly holidays? You can make up new holidays as you go. Besides, people don't need excuses to come from miles around to buy flowers and flower arrangements from you. Your employer is planning a long vacation, but isn't planning to come back. Doesn't that qualify as retirement?

TORRENTIAL downpours and thundery storms hit an annual fundraising boat race yesterday but it didn't dampen spirits as residents took to the waters.
The Oxford Bangladeshi Boat Club hosted its fifth boat race at Meadow Lane's Falcon Rowing and Canoe Club.
Event organisers had hoped up to ten teams would take part but the weather prevented many from attending.
Club chairman Peter Travis, 73, said: "There's a number of things we can't work with, particularly lightning, but I wasn't disappointed."
Two teams of youngsters aged between seven and 19 from Oxfordshire Sea Cadets took to the River Thames first.
The girls team lost twice to their male competitors after beating them initially.
But the bad weather forced the youngsters off the water until the sunshine returned.
An Oxford Bangladeshi team later competed against a second Bangladeshi team formed of Witney and Eynsham residents.
Councillor Farida Anwar brought her family to the event.
She said: "I feel very proud. It's our culture and it's very very ancient. This is a great thing for the people."

Traditions Collide in a Chelsea Parish
By JESSE McKINLEY
Published: January 2, 1998
In the 1940's, a priest at the Church of St. Francis Xavier in Chelsea won fame with his crusade against mob control of the city's waterfront. In the 1980's, another Xavier priest risked formal censure by criticizing the Archdiocese's treatment of gay Catholics.
Now, Xavier faces a new battle, but this time it is an internal struggle, as the newest pastor and some of his parishioners clash over the church's progressive tradition and the question of who should set the parish's agenda.
The dissident parishioners criticize the pastor as heavy-handed and autocratic, accusing him of trying to reverse a trend toward giving parishioners a greater voice in church affairs. And they are outraged at his dismissal of a popular nun, whose leading role in church services was lauded by many parishioners but upset some of the church's more traditional members. The dissidents have called on the pastor, the Rev. Louis P. Sogliuzzo, to resign.
''We want him to go,'' said Michael T. Hewitt, a leading opponent. ''There's no question that that's a must for things to move forward at this church.''
The pastor's supporters, who are predominantly more traditional Roman Catholics, see Father Sogliuzzo's actions as an attempt to restore some order and decorum to the church's mission of worship and service.
Father Sogliuzzo declined to comment for this article, but in an interview in October he said: ''The issue is really this: Is there room for a pastor at this church? There are expectations that there's a certain egalitarianism here, and that's good and I respect that. But the church is not a democracy.''
Theological scholars say conflicts like the one at St. Francis Xavier are becoming more common as Catholics raised after Vatican II and the social revolutions of the 1960's collide with those who support the recent conservative tilt in the church.
Peter J. Awn, professor of religion at Columbia University and a former Jesuit priest, said that Xavier is a prime battleground because of its Chelsea locale, which is home to a diverse mix of gay men, young professionals and a more traditionally conservative Latino and Eastern European population. He said Father Sogliuzzo's appointment may have been an attempt to bring an independent-minded parish more in line with church hierarchy. ''They know exactly who they were putting in,'' Professor Awn said.
The Jesuit officials who run Xavier are so concerned about the rift that in November they took the rare step of naming a special observer to evaluate the problem. He is expected to report back to his superiors with recommendations this month. (While the church is under the general authority of the Archdiocese, it is run directly by the Jesuit order, which operates a number of parish churches throughout the country.)
The feud erupted as the church, at 30 West 16th Street, was celebrating its 150th anniversary -- a history marked by crusades and progressive stances that today's parishioners cite with pride. In 1945, the Rev. John M. Corridan took up the fight against organized crime on the city's piers, a mission that earned him the nickname ''the waterfront priest'' and a cinematic gloss in the film ''On the Waterfront'' (as played by Karl Malden).
Some 42 years later, a Xavier pastor, the Rev. Michael E. Donahue, openly criticized the Archdiocese's decision in 1987 to ban a Mass for homosexual Catholics at the church. He lost that battle, but the church today maintains an open acceptance of gay worshipers and runs AIDS support groups.
Both Father Sogliuzzo's supporters and his detractors say they were impressed by the pastor's intellect and eloquence when he took over the parish in October 1996. ''I think Lou is very intelligent and very caring,'' said Brian Hamilton, a therapist and an opponent of the pastor, ''but I think he's made a couple of very bad mistakes.''
Both sides also agree that Father Sogliuzzo, who had previously run a Jesuit retreat program in Morristown, N.J., but never a parish, arrived at a church whose liturgical customs diverged from the norm. During Sunday Mass, for example, Sister Honora Nicholson had periodically been allowed to speak from the altar on spiritual issues after the priest's homily. Her speeches, called ''reflections,'' were extremely popular, but her participation disturbed some parishioners who were used to a standard Catholic liturgy.
Soon after his appointment, Father Sogliuzzo put an end to Sister Nicholson's reflections, a decision that alienated even some of the most devout parishioners.
''Honora is an extraordinarily gifted woman,'' said Sister Mary Claire Ryan, another nun who worships at St. Francis Xavier. ''She led because she listened to the people and prayed with the people.''
Then, in June, a parishioner wrote to Father Sogliuzzo questioning his handling of the church's finances. In a letter written in response, the pastor called the parishioner ''insensitive and disrespectful'' and suggested that the writer find another church.
Critics said the two incidents indicated an authoritarian leadership style that was not in keeping with Xavier's traditions. ''This was collaborative ministry,'' said Thomas Sanger, a pastoral assistant at the church who resigned in November. ''Lou wanted something else.''

If you like watching "The Voice" performers on television, then you'll love watching them perform live all across America.
If you like watching "The Voice" performers on television, then you'll love watching them perform live all across America.
Have you been thinking about auditioning for popular singing show "The Voice"? Shreveport native Cole Vosbury, who made it to the top five on the show last season, explained how the audition process goes.
DeShawn Washington's run on "The Voice" is over.
I am a huge fan of The Voice on NBC and I'm excited for the beginning of the battle rounds tonight!
Stevie Jo from Tyler, Texas took a big risk singing one of the judge's songs during his blind audition, but it paid off. He is now on Team Usher.
Natchitoches resident Deshawn Washington has taken his talent to "The Voice."
I'm a HUGE fan of The Voice but this season has totally snuck up on me! I'm so pumped to see the new talent and watch Adam, Blake, Usher and Shakira's antics!
After four seasons, Cee Lo Green has left 'The Voice' in order to pursue other projects. The eccentric singer and 'Voice' mentor accidentally dropped the bomb during a visit to 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' which airs today (Feb. 19).
Shreveport, Louisiana singer Cole Vosbury may have been sent home on 'The Voice' this week, but a visit to the Today Show in New York has helped cement his place as a future star.

The 53-year-old paid a visit to his old Comedy Central stomping ground on Monday to bring attention to an issue he said he cares about very deeply.
Donning a gray T-shirt and his ever-growing scruffy beard, Stewart blasted Congress for not automatically renewing the Zadroga 9/11 Health & Compensation Act, a now-expired bill providing healthcare to first responders who worked at the site of the World Trade Center after the Sept. 11 attacks.
"I want to get some attention paid to it, but I was realizing that I don't have a show and nobody gives a s--- anymore," he told host Trevor Noah.

When Trevor Noah makes his highly anticipated debut as host of The Daily Show on Monday night, the 31-year-old has the seemingly impossible task of earning the trust of the series' dedicated fans following Jon Stewart's 16-year tenure at the desk.
Since Noah appeared just three times as a Daily Show correspondent before Comedy Central announced his promotion, we've picked five things about the fake newsman that will make you confident in his anchor abilities.
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah
Trevor Noah on Growing Up an Outsider and Why Donald Trump's Presidential Campaign Makes Him Happy
Originally posted 09/28/2015 03:35PM
As Trevor Noah prepares to take over Jon Stewart's seat as a the new host of The Daily Show on Monday night, he tells PEOPLE he's always known he enjoyed making people laugh.
"I've always loved it. Because I grew up as an outsider, I always knew that that's the one thing that bridged the gap," Noah says. "If you laugh with somebody, then you know you share something. Even if you look at a person and go, 'I'm totally different' – you can laugh together. You realize you share way more than you did."
The comedian, who hails from South Africa, says he always relied on comedy to find his way in the world – and, eventually, his home on Comedy Central.
"It was very organic. The way [Jon and I] met, the way we started working together, we found common ground," Noah said of Stewart who departed the show in August after more than 16 years. "Here's a guy who grew up in Jersey on the other side of the world. Here's a kid who grew in Soweto, and yet we see eye to eye on many issues."

At the moment, if you try to upload an image for the file thumbnail that is the same size as, or smaller than, the minimum image thumbnail size specified in settings, then the default thumbnail is used rather than the uploaded one.
So far as I can see, there is no error message that tells you this is what has happened, so you end up, as I did, flailing around for ages trying to work out why your thumbnails 'don't upload' (they do, they were just too small/exactly the right size so the script didn't resize/upload them - it can only handle too-big images).
It would be *really* handy if the script uploaded smaller images even if they were smaller than/same size as the default. Or at least if there was an error message that popped up to say why the too-small image was not added. Or both!
The other thing I discovered while doing this is that because the way the image is called in the control panel is in the format 'wp-content/plugins/wp-filebase/wp-filebase_thumb.php?fid=11' rather than by filename - the first thumbnail image you put in is liable to get cached.
So then you are back to wondering why your replacement thumbnails 'don't upload' (they do, it's just that because they are not called with a unique filename, once you've uploaded one, you are likely to see that first one until you shift-reload, even if your second uploaded thumbnail had a different filename so normally would not be cached.)
Perhaps the thumbnail could be automatically cleared from cache during the upload?
These are small things in an awesome plugin which is really useful- many thanks.
I honestly have spent hours and hours trying to debug a thumbnail problem that doesn't exist! Probably I'm really thick to have taken so long to work this out - but both of these seem like small easy things to change that might help other users avoid that, so I'm suggesting them here. Hope this helps.

Using the enclosed scoop (1 Tbsp), add 2 scoops powder to 3 scoops warm water and mix until all powder is dissolved. This dilution will make approximately 60 ml (2 oz) of formula. Complete canister will yield approximately 64 oz of reconstituted formula. Do not prepare more formula than can be used in 24 hours. Refrigerate reconstituted formula.
Directions for Feeding:
Feed reconstituted formula at body temperature. Use of a nurser bottle is recommended. Feed at least 2 tablespoons (30 ml) per 4 oz (113 g) of body weight daily. Divide the daily feeding amount into equal portions for each feeding. Small or young kittens or puppies will need to be fed 6 to 8 times daily. Larger kittens or puppies may do well being fed 4 times per day. Puppies and kittens should be allowed to consume as much formula as they want during each feeding. Increase or decrease the amount fed based on the individual needs of each puppy. If diarrhea develops, consult your veterinarian for advice. Always wash feeding and mixing utensils with hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry after each use.
When kittens or puppies are old enough to lap, begin offering reconstituted formula in a shallow bowl. After they begin to lap, mix reconstituted formula with kitten or puppy food to form a thin gruel. Gradually increase the amount of puppy or kitten food and decrease the amount of formula until they are eating only kitten or puppy food. Ensure that fresh water is always available.
Pregnant and Lactating Females:
Feed 2 teaspoons (4 gm) per 5 lbs (2.2 kg) body weight daily until 2 weeks after queening or whelping.
Growing Kittens/Puppies, Show Cats/Dogs and Convalescing Cats/Dogs:

Tottenham burns!
This is no time for sick humour!
What started as a peaceful protest was hijacked by others with a wider agenda and as a consequence innocent people have lost their livelihoods and homes. I doubt those who escalated matters will feel sorry or have any sympathy for the people whose lives have been destroyed. It could take years to restore community relations in such a deprived area of London and I don't envy those that task falls to.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

They told me oopps... they could not refund me the money, even though I didn't have all of the amount in my account and sorry that I'd have to pay the bank fee for each fee that they charged me ! Also even if you've not run out of minutes, they still charge me the $1 a day for unlimted this and that and also for each time I add money to my phone, they charge me anadditional .99.
My sister in law and her daughter are also having a time with alltel prepaid wireless. Seems that sis n laws friend knows someone at the alltel center and that woman keeps giving this so called friend their cell #'s and they are getting death threatens made on them daily. You can't call them without text messages flooding in with threats. The stalker gained access to the account and now it's red flagged and no one can get into it, alltel says not even they can access it !
So sister in laws daughter goes out and buys them new phones and she had $30 already on her phone and when you buy a phone, it comes with minutes, etc. They told her either she give up her $30 for 30 days, or give up the bonus minutes that come with the phone, that she just bought. Right there is a scam in itself. You buy the phone and it comes with minutes, but they take minutes from you. God forbid if you have money on it already and just want to upgrade, because they won't credit the funds you already have on your phone.
I've been dealing with this crap for over 2 months now and getting no answers, but that stalker sure does get what she wants !

lets take a look at this
AUTHOR: Nikkiflash - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, May 02, 2009POSTED: Saturday, May 02, 2009
your only line of defense on a prepaid phone is to add a password. if an employee were to give out information on that phone without verifying the password, then they would be fired. alltel takes customer privacy very seriously.
seems that this so called stalker has the phone number and the online pin to make changes. there is NOTHING, and i mean nothing in the prepaid system that would make a rep unable to access the account. the only red flagging of accounts is to names and addresses of known fraudulent users, and stolen ESN's (electronic serial numbers)
your best option here is to take id to the alltel store to prove account ownership and have the phone number changed. its THAT easy. then set a password on the account. this problem will not happen again if it is done in the right way. and whoever is the owner of this phone, make sure they dont give out their number to people they dont want to have it. and choose an online pin that isnt something someone would guess.
lastly, seems you think someone at alltel is giving out your friends information. if you change the number, this 'bad employee' if they exist wont be able to find it. prepaids can only be accessed by the phone number. you can not look up by name.
theres my 2 cents. coming from someone who did this 10-15 times a day for 3 years. its the truth.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I love your plugin as I still use an old version on an old website of mine, it works fine as the website is using Twenty Ten and the plugin is the old one with Username and Password.
I'm trying to add this plugin to my new website http://www.chelseastyling.com, done on Twenty Twelve, but it just wont display. The client ID and client Secret have been accepted no problem, just nothing displays, not even the widget title.
It is currently in the Footer widget area after the social icons but as you can see nothing there. I've tried moving it to sidebar or other areas but nothing appears.
I would be so grateful is someone can see what is going wrong when looking at the code,

What Consumers Want: Mortgages and Personal Loans in Sweden 2010
- February 2011
- Region: Sweden
- 51 pages
- Datamonitor
This slide deck provides direct answers to the important questions regarding consumers' behaviour towards Financial Services products. This series of reports provides country specific data, set against a global backdrop, to ensure the reader knows What Consumers Want in their area of Financial Services.
Features and benefits
- The brief highlights the key findings of The FS Consumer Insight survey for the mortgages and personal loans market in Sweden
- Answers to key questions are provided such as product penetration, channel of choice, reasons for product & provider choice and important attributes.
- The slide deck also presents data across income and age groups to strengthen and deepen insight, ensuring analysis is relevant to every sector.
- Mortgage holding roughly increases with income, with those consumers earning over 500,000Kr the most likely to hold a mortgage product and those earning less than 170,000Kr being the least likely.
- 55.6% of consumers aged between 18-24 took out their personal loans online. The online channels diminishes in popularity somewhat as consumers get older than 25, but remains fairly robust between 25-30% for the remaining age bands.
