How to Get More Views on Your YouTube Videos
Five Parts:Appropriate DescriptionsSharing WiselyEditingIncreasing Organic ViewsPurchasing ViewsCommunity Q&A
Many people have become well-known, or even famous, because of their YouTube videos. But for every YouTube celebrity, there are thousands of people who have trouble getting views. If you want to get more views on your YouTube videos, then you have to not only make an amazing video, but you also have to know how to describe and share your creation. Using good descriptions, sharing your video with tons of people, and making sure your video looks great are a few ways to propel your video into the YouTube stratosphere.
Part 1
Appropriate Descriptions
1Name your video file accurately. If it's about a lizard, then the word "lizard" should be in the file name of the video.
2Give your video an appealing title. It should be short, engaging, and to the point. If your video is about your kid spilling macaroni and cheese everywhere, just call it "Mac and Cheese Disaster." It should pique your viewers' interests without giving too much away.
3Describe your video thoroughly. Most people ignore this step, but you should take it seriously to increase your views. Describe your video as accurately as possible in the space you are given, taking 2-3 paragraphs to write an interesting and precise description of what people can expect when they see the video.
4Use the best tags. Use all of the keywords from your title and description in the "tags" section to get more viewers interested. The more relevant tags you use, the more often your video will pop up when people search it. For example, if you're posting a video of your cute sleepy dog, you could use words like "Sleepy," "Dog," "Hilarious," and "Cutest." Make sure you don't include extra tags in the description, as those are not included when people search for them.
- You can use tags that describe your video as well as other relevant popular videos to make sure that as many people as possible see your video when they are searching YouTube.
Part 2
Sharing Wisely
1Share your video as soon as you post it. The earlier you share it, the more likely it will be to be a YouTube sensation. If you wait a week to share it while it barely gets any views, it'll be much more likely to be forgotten by the YouTube community. Remember, timing is everything. Think of when your audience is likely to watch your video and release right before then (evenings and weekends are a good suggestion).
2Email your video to your friends, family, and coworkers. Create an email list consisting of the people who know you well enough to be actually intrigued by your new YouTube video, and send them the link and encourage them to watch it. You can even add, "I can't wait to hear what you think!" to show that you really expect them to watch your video. If you don't care about potentially annoying people, just send it out to as many people as you can.
- If you have an intriguing subject and a persuasive email, there's a good chance anyone will look at the video without even knowing you very well.
3Share your video through social media. Post your video on Facebook, Twitter, and any other social networking sites that you've joined.
4Use a blog or a website to promote your videos. If you have a blog or a website, you can use it to market your videos. If you don't have a blog or website of your own but know friends with websites or blogs that are popular, ask your friends if they can help you out by sharing your video with their fans.
Part 3
1Take out white space. Create your video, then go into an editor and remove the long pauses, and other distractions in the video. If the video paces faster, people will continue to watch.
2Add music to your Video. A good audio track can spruce up the video and disguise any audio problems you may have had. YouTube just released an audio library you can choose from at [1]
3Include text information. This includes an email address, website, twitter handle and more. Some people may not be watching this video on YouTube. You want them to know who you are in those cases. Text can also keep or direct attention on-screen. Use it to your advantage.
4Create credits and bloopers. Put something at the end of your videos to point where they can find you. Add some bloopers or extra footage. People love to see the extras at the end and your watch time might increase.
Part 4
Increasing Organic Views
1Use annotations. Annotations are an amazing way to increase your video views. They can link one video to another, or they can link a video to your playlists or channels. An annotation can tell viewers to link to a different similar video if they like the one they're watching, and can keep them viewing all of your different videos for hours.
2Get subscribers. Getting subscribers is an excellent way of guaranteeing that more viewers will watch your videos. If someone subscribes to you, then they will see all of your newly-uploaded videos on their homepage, and they can even select to be notified via email whenever you've posted a new video. If you want to get more subscribers, you can ask people to subscribe at the end of a video, include an annotation that encourages people to subscribe to your video, or even ask people to subscribe to you over email. [2]
3Ask viewers to 'Like' or 'Share' the video. At the end or anytime during the video, ask the viewers to like it or share it by mentioning things like 'it would take 0.12 second to hit that like button'. Its because most of the time, even after people like the video, they don't notice it.
4Create playlists. Playlists are lists of videos that play one after the other, just like a playlist of music. If you create an entire playlist of videos, then viewers will be more likely to view more of your videos. For example, if you create a playlist of different videos that display different gymnastics skills, your viewers can watch your video about cartwheels and then transition right into your video about handstands.[3]
5Comment a lot. Make sure to be nice. Some people might click on the commenter's channel to check out their videos.
Part 5
Purchasing Views
1Consider "buying" views. Depending on your account and how it is done, this can violate YouTube's Terms of Service and risk the termination of your account.[4] Like any slightly sketchy internet service, it also comes with the risk of being scammed.
2Look for a guarantee that protects your account. Choose a provider which guarantees your video won't be removed or your account won't be banned. The best services will offer the following characteristics:
- High retention views: this means the users watch the entire video or at least most part of it.
- Non mobile only views: in the past some users and services have abused of this kind of views causing banned accounts and removed videos.
- Drip Feed views: it means the views for the video will increase slowly but steady so it looks natural to YouTube.
- Mixing your views with extra likes, comments and subscriptions: this will make the growth in viewership seem more natural.
3Choose a service according to your budget. There are a variety of companies that offer this service, at different rates. Do your research to find out which one fits your budget, and read up on reviews and customer experiences to avoid getting scammed.
Community Q&A
How do I change my YouTube profile picture?wikiHow ContributorGo to the channel. Hover over your profile picture and there should be a pen, click on it and accept the page redirecting you to Google+. Drop a file, then crop the picture, when you're done press Set as Profile Picture. Done; it may take some time for it to change.
Can playlists increase my YouTube video views?wikiHow ContributorYes, it encourages people who watch one video to watch the rest of the playlist. Make your playlist content good and watch the views rise!
How much of the video does a viewer have to watch to get a view recorded?wikiHow ContributorActually, very little. Just by clicking on the link, it's then added to the view counter.
How much money do you earn off every view?wikiHow Contributor1,000 views gets you about $1.50 of revenue.
Can I do anything to get views after it has been posted for a year?wikiHow ContributorIt is really hard to get more views after such a long time but you could try editing it and adding more things in the in the title and description box. You'd need to do a really big drive to get more viewers for an old video.
Is there a way that I can change my profile picture on my Android phone?wikiHow ContributorIn the YouTube app, tap on your profile picture and tap the cog to go to channel settings. From there, tap your profile picture and you can change it there.
I want real people to listen to my music, increasing real views .I am an honest singer; I just want the publicity, so how do I do that?wikiHow ContributorCommenting on videos is a great way to increase your popularity. For example, you might find a video about music, and then you can comment after watching it: "Amazing! But if you could take the time to watch my video (blank).." Like that.
How do I change my YouTube name on iPhone?
- Add an interesting name that is brief but tells something about the video. Make sure it is grammatically correct.
- Change is good. Make sure all of your videos are fresh and exciting; do not make them all about the same topic, you could vary it from time to time.
- Befriend someone who is new to YouTube; help them start up, and they will probably repay you with views. And who knows; if they become 'famous' then they might tell everyone about you someday!
- Always be kind to others on YouTube, because people will appreciate it.
- Post comments on any and every video you watch. Especially on little-known videos; because the person who posted them will appreciate it. If you want to critique, the rule of thumb is for each thing wrong you suggest you need to compliment two other aspects.
- Have an attention grabbing thumbnail, for example something that's colorful so it stands out against all the other video suggestions. Photoshop is a commonly used program for editing thumbnails.
- Center it around a popular topic. That way people will relate to the video and be engaged on what you have to say about it.
- Make videos because you want to make them. It's the best way to produce quality content.
- Try using social media, such as Instagram, to help boost your channel views. Remember to leave a link and make colorful pictures to advertise your YouTube Videos.
- Always accept other opinions.
- What you should remember is that if you're only in it for the views, you may not get anywhere. You should be genuinely looking to build an audience, create content and entertain people.
- Avoid spamming people's videos. Some people might look at your work, but most will just be annoyed.
- Practice safety when posting videos; have a parent's permission to post anything if you're under 18, never meet up with strangers alone.
- Your YouTube Channel should be creative, colorful, and represent you in the way you want to be presented. You can make your YouTube channel creative by adding a background photo/cover-photo, you can choose from the pictures YouTube provides, or be even more creative and create your own on photo editing sites like Pixlr. By making your channel interesting and neat you are more likely to get subscribers.
Things You'll Need
- Internet access
- A YouTube account (free)
- A way to record your videos
- Some friends and/or family members

You may have noticed Lindsay's Lunchbox has kinda fizzled out over the past few weeks….or maybe you haven't…..
Either way, it's been a combination of lack of creativity, lack of time, lack of time, oh and lack of time….but today I had a stroke of genius while packing my lunch for tomorrow and it was just too good not to share.
If you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen that I finally had time to do some Sunday prep work this weekend. I roasted chickpeas to snack on, hard boiled some eggs and made sweet potato hummus (very similar to my Curried Sweet Potato Dip, except I experimented with chickpeas because I was out of plain Greek yogurt).
Speaking of being out of Greek yogurt, that's exactly what brought upon this brilliant idea. I was in the mood for some tuna salad for lunch tomorrow and was just about to get to work making some, when I remembered my yogurt conundrum. I've kinda given up using mayo…but I reeeeealllly wanted that tuna salad.
*Cue brilliant moment: MIX THE HUMMUS WITH TUNA instead of greek yogurt or mayo…..BRILLIANT!*
If you are sufficiently unimpressed with this idea, it's probably because you're already doing it yourself. And in that case I say to you, "HELLO?! Why didn't you fill me in?!"
I took this idea a step further and spread some tuna/hummus salad on a whole wheat tortilla, added some bell peppers and a hard boiled egg and voila! Lunchtime rollups 🙂
Here's another lovely lunch I made myself last week:
Are we noticing a trend here???
Also, I can't get over how pretty that avocado was. So perfect.
And finally, I even have a couple reader submissions to share with you.
These both come from Meg, a friend from college and a huge Bean supporter!
She says: " It's my last week of school so i figured i better send you some now or never. The first one is my classic go-to lunch sandwich. As you can see, I use Annie's Goddess dressing and cholula sauce, then a handful of spinach, chopped up bell peppers, and banana peppers on top. a lot of times i use cheese in there too. It's an awesome veggie sandwich and I always get comments on it at school. When the tomatoes get good I put those in too."
And then, her cinco de mayo treat! "Whole wheat tortilla with hummus, black beans, spinach, bell peppers, pico de gallo, and of course cholula sauce."
Thanks for sharing!!! I'm loving your Cinco de Mayo treat 🙂
So tell me, are you familiar with the tuna salad with hummus idea, or are you in awe of my brilliance 😉 ?

Mandy Moore is taking it all off for her friend Brett Dennen – or at least her shoes.
The actress just finished shooting the music video to Dennen's new single "Make You Crazy." Dennen, a guitarist from California, teamed with Afro-beat legend Femi Kuti for the song, which last week became the third-most added single across tastemaker stations, behind Ryan Adams's "Fix It" and The Killers' "Human."
The "Make You Crazy" video is about freeing oneself from constraints and being true to oneself. In it, Dennen plays a barefoot shoe-store clerk who is trying to help a difficult customer (Moore). After going through too many pairs, Moore decides she wants to follow Dennen's trend and strips off her own shoes.
The video is set to debut around the same time as Dennen's new album, Hope for the Hopeless, on October 21. Dennen will follow the release with a "mini-tour" on Nov. 3 and a headlining tour early next year.
Moore, meanwhile, is wrapping up some vacation time on the east coast. She wrote on her celebrity MySpace page that she went to New York "to do some writing, see some friends and a few shows." She went up to Boston on Saturday and performed with pals Mike Viola and Lori McKenna.
Next, Moore is heading back to LA to record some of her new songs and dive "into a few other new projects," she writes.

I have been using Murad for about 4 years and fell in love with this product. I am a black female with very oily skin and I was amazed by the results. After using this product, my skin was matte, velvety, and glows. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to revitalize their skin. The jar is small, but will definitely last since you do not need to use much. Try it once; you won't be disappointed!

This is the only product I have used on my face where my skin really got irritated (I've tried various serums, including vitamin C serums/additives from philosophy and Lancome and even prescription Renova). This surprised me because of Murad's reputation and my good luck with their pomegranate line of skin care. I tried using it less often, taking a break and coming back to it, nothing worked. No matter the circumstances, this product irritated my skin. I found that so disappointing because of the steep price tag. Unless you are confident this will work for you, I strongly recommend trying to get a sample and using it for a few days before dropping the money on it.

Hi, I currently live in Toronto and moved here in October,
Customer Question
Hi, I currently live in Toronto and moved here in October, 2012. As of January 2013 after purchasing a car, my parents and I started attending this car wash near where we lived in Downtown Toronto atXXXXX The name of the car wash is One-A-Minute. After the first couple of times visiting the car wash and paying $20-30/wash, my father and I decided to speak to the "manager" about any deals that they might have for their "regular customers." The receptionist/cashier was an indian lady who referred us to the "manager/owner" at the time called Ed who appeared to be Eastern European. Ed suggested that they have coupons that may be used for the washes and he could start a "contract" for a whole year at a price to get "unlimited washes"! My dad paid $960 to get the "contract" for a year which consisted of a receipt for the money paid and a note in the receptionist's/cashier's cubical naming all the cars/customers' plate numbers who were on these "one-year contracts." For myself however, I wanted to get coupons that would last me for the year at a cheaper price without having to pay every time I went. Ed assured us that my dad's contract was valid and my coupons could be used at ANYTIME with NO EXPIRY. (The coupons have the One-A-Minute Company name and logo on them as well as NO EXPIRY DATE). I bought 40 coupons at $12/wash at the price of $480.
Initially, everything was fine and we were able to take our cars to the wash with my dad using his "contract" and myself using the coupons at anytime with no objections. Even though my father could have technically went 2-3 times PER DAY if he wanted and possibly daily, he only used it once a day for about 4-5 days a week.
Until May (last month) with almost 5 months into our deal with the car wash, my father went as he did usually and the same receptionist asked him to pay with cash. My dad was puzzled and said you know that we have a contract and I've been coming almost daily for the past 4-5 months! However, she insisted that he would pay and my dad asked to talk to Ed, the owner. However, a new "owner" came by and said the contract is "not valid and not recognized" under his new ownership/management and that Ed does not work there anymore. The name of the company remained the same, all the staff also remained the same. However, the new owner claimed that he was "not responsible for Ed's decisions/deals/actions with the customers in the past" and he also mentioned that a lot of the old customers were complaining about such deals/coupons that were not recognized anymore and suddenly out of the blue! The new owner then started screaming at my father and cursing at him telling him to "f**k off and not come back to this car wash again." and challenged my father to "Sue" him.
To not make this a long story, I also came in a week after that incident with similar results. Even though I had actual tangible coupons with the company's name on them and clearly stating the purpose of them, they decided that they are not accepted these coupons anymore. They even had a little sign at the receptionist's window claiming that "old coupons are not accepted anymore." Keep in mind that I had only used 3 coupons out of the 40 I purchased in the last 3 months!
I am not sure how to get my money back. My father is not sure how to get his money back either. Should we sue them? What should we do? Will it cost us anything? Will we make money? What is your advise in moving forward? Is it worth the hassle?

Thank you for your question.
Before I begin I want to explain a bit about how the site works.
It may be that I will find that I need to gather further information from you. As well, it's quite possible that you may feel the need to ask me additional questions for further clarification.Please do not worry that you will be charged additionally if I ask you questions or if you need to ask me questions. That is not at all how the site works.
As well, please understand that as a careful lawyer I will always give you an honest answer even if the answer is sometimes not what you were hoping for.
Finally, as we go through the process please do not feel rushed if I ask you a question. You are always free to take your time to gather more information before you post back. As well, please understand that even after you rate me the post will not lock and you could always come back for further clarification if you think of something a bit later on down the road.
Do you believe that the former owner actually sold the business to the new owner or was the former owner an employee before and was fired?
Do you know if the business is incorporated?

Two Arkansas starters are out for the season, the school has announced this week. And another player was arrested Wednesday morning.
That's not exactly the way to celebrate a win over Auburn.
Starting defensive end/linebacker Tenarius Wright is out for the season with a shoulder injury, coach John L. Smith told arkansasnews.com. Leading tackler Alonzo Highsmith is lost for the year with a foot injury.
Wright was already sidelined for the Auburn game, but an MRI on Monday revealed the need for surgery.
Defensive end Chris Smith was arrested on a warrant for failure to appear in court. Smith was issued a speeding ticket in May and was scheduled to appear in court July 18. He didn't show up. On Wednesday he was released after posting a $415 bond.

wonder how much went to slash?
http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/200...kes-a-billion/While we're not sure how big a slice of the Guitar Hero pie the Wii version has taken, the franchise has generated some serious revenue. In North America alone, the series of games has earned over $1 billion. In fact, the third title even did so well as to be the top title in 2007.
No wonder its so hard to find.

JezebelMusic.com @ Glasslands
December 10, 2009 | Ana Lola Roman, Behavior, Perpetual Mvmt <> Snd
The night at Glasslands was off to a slow start. For a long time, it was impossible to tell whether it had started at all. Perpetual Mvmt <> Snd, a performance group from Philadelphia, toed the line between art and accident in a kinetically monotonous, tepid act. A man played a large clarinet-like instrument that sounded like a car backfiring with a kitten wedged in the exhaust pipe, and was joined by a cellist doing a convincing imitation of fingernails on chalkboard. As one man rustled paper into a microphone, two women made halting movements toward the center of the stage, cruelly teasing the audience into expecting something to happen. Then, as would continue between all movement sequences, a seated non-performer hissed "stop" and the beep of a stopwatch resetting was heard, the girls returning to their seats amid farting noises from the not-quite-clarinet and generically ominous sonic atmospheres emanating from a laptop controlled by another performer.
There was a briefly entertaining zoological moment as one girl started flapping her arms in the birdlike fashion of five-year-old kids playing Pretend and the other prowled the stage like a lioness. The primate camp was represented by the formerly paper-rustling man, who squatted purposefully at various key junctures as if relieving himself.
The paper-rustler repeatedly presented what appeared to be his interpretation of an open mic night—tapping the microphone, clearing his throat, clapping abortively—a non-indictment perhaps even less interesting than his concentrated bouts of mimed shit-taking. Everyone periodically referred to papers under their chair, all business in between spasms of bunny-hopping and ticking noises. One girl turned around and began flapping enthusiastically again, revealing an unintentionally hilarious tramp stamp. End. Naming one's group Perpetual Mvt <> Snd and displaying as little as possible of either movement or sound may be high concept and ironic, but it makes for a very dull show.
Then Brooklyn's Ana Lola Roman brought shiny, geometrically-complex dance beats that echoed off the walls around her enticing, otherworldly voice. The opener was a clangy, slinky treat, Roman's vocals coming in clipped and choppy over the helicopter-like spin of the rhythm. Abandoning her keyboard and computer, she unexpectedly left the stage, pulled a dancer twice her size out of the crowd and performed the song from the dance floor. The choreography was campy and well-done, with Jason, the dancer, appearing to engulf little-girl-sized Roman when they leaned over at improbable angles to match the unhinged robotic beats.
The next song had a sort of polar majesty, keyboard notes dropping like frozen pins around Roman, now back onstage. The bell-like tones of her voice nervously vibrated and hovered somewhere between mythological ice queen and living theremin. The arctic chill of the music carried over into faster songs as well, even as she returned to the dance floor to join Jason again for more kittenish moves, prowling and pouncing along with sharp and clever lyrical barbs.
There was an odd sense of expectation in the air, especially during the slower tracks, as if Roman was halfway into creating a trance state that relied upon a warmth that refused to materialize. Whether her lyrics – far from the vacuous feel-good fodder that one normally associates with electronic dance music, especially the sort involving backup dancers – or some other element created the unease in the audience, there was a prickly gap between performer and watchers. Roman displayed a definite talent for sound and spectacle, but her set, by far the best of the evening, was woefully short.
The last band, Behavior, radiated arrogance from the moment they stepped on stage, calling for a "light-meister" and slumping artfully in angles of studied nonchalance. Their music did not match their confidence; a bland indie stew overpowered by droning keyboard and the narcotized chugging of a rhythm guitar that seemed content to go nowhere.
Behavior's set looked like a contest of who cared less – the singer, entreating his audience to "feel free to come up on stage and get as close as you want" but barely opening his mouth to let the lyrics out; the gently bobbing guitarist in his unbuttoned shirt, striving for casual but managing only constipated; the distant-eyed drummer; or the slumped-over handheld keyboardist wearing sunglasses and a hat onstage so one couldn't tell whether he was nodding off or intentionally playing notes—or even if he was playing notes, as the singer had a keyboard as well.
Poor sound balance, unintelligible lyrics, and bland chords made for an unmemorable musical experience, though the windmill and fist-pump (!) of the singer as the effort of pressing a key reverberated throughout his skinny arm at the close of one of the songs raised a few eyebrows. Their "closing jam" was a spacey, generic mess distinguishable only by the audience member the keyboardist dragged up to lie on stage as the guitarist clacked drumsticks together over his head, no doubt inducing a religious rapture of the sort the rest of us can only dream about.

Southern Maryland to Get Workforce Investment Board
BALTIMORE (April 28, 2008) Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation Secretary Thomas E. Perez today applauded the Southern Maryland Tri-County Councils unanimous approval of the creation of a Workforce Investment Board to serve Charles, Calvert and St. Marys Counties. The Council voted Thursday evening to establish the Board, after the region has been without one since 2006. Workforce Development officials from DLLR were instrumental in gaining approval for the new Board.
Having a Workforce Investment Board in the region will ensure Southern Maryland can benefit from workforce grants available from the federal government. The Board will play a critical role in identifying and addressing the needs of employers in the region, as well as ensuring Southern Marylanders have access to the services they need for success in the workforce, Secretary Perez said.
Local Workforce Investment Boards play a major role in a regions economic development, and are critical to ensuring that workforce programs are aligned with the regions needs, Assistant Secretary for Workforce Development Andrew A. Moser said. The Councils decision to establish a Workforce Investment Board will greatly benefit all of Southern Maryland and the regions economy.
The Tri-County Council will oversee the Southern Maryland Workforce Investment Board, which will be funded by Federal Workforce Investment Act dollars. Local elected officials from the three counties will appoint the members of the Board, which will include representatives from the business community, local government, the education community, local labor organizations and community organizations.
The Tri-County Council is pleased to make the citizens and businesses of Southern Maryland eligible for these vitally needed workforce and job training funds, said Charles County Commissioner Gary V. Hodge, Chairman of the Tri-County Council.
Local Workforce Investment Boards, or LWIBs, work to develop job training programs and workforce development programs that will most benefit their local areas and meet the needs of employers in the region. The boards are responsible for the distribution of federal Workforce Investment Act dollars to educational institutions, community organizations and employers for training programs.
All 15 members of the Boards of County Commissioners in Southern Maryland and the members of the Southern Maryland delegation responded to the solid commitment of Governor Martin O'Malley, Secretary Thomas Perez and Assistant Secretary Andy Moser to provide our citizens in Southern Maryland with the tools needed for workforce training, recruitment, retention and skills enhancement, said Wayne E. Clark, Executive Director of the Tri-County Council. We look forward to working with businesses and local, state and federal stakeholders to make the new workforce program a benefit to the citizens working or wishing to work in our region.

The Bend Park & Recreation District is planning a prescribed field burn in coming weeks at the Riley Ranch Nature Reserve in northwest Bend.
The burn will occur after the burning ban is lifted and prescribed burning conditions are met. It is anticipated that the burn will be in early October but it could be later depending upon weather and other conditions.
The burn will take place on a 25-30 acre field located in the southwest portion of the property, southwest of Glen Vista Rd. and north of the Deschutes River and Awbrey Butte.
The district is conducting the burn to eliminate undesirable plants including noxious weeds. The prescribed burn will help prepare for restoration of native grasses and forbs at the reserve.
The burn is expected to take two days and will be conducted by a local wildland firefighting and prescribed burning contractor with assistance from the Bend Fire Department. It is likely the burn will be visible from many areas of Bend.
For additional information on the prescribed burn or Riley Ranch Nature Reserve, contact Sasha Sulia, Natural Resources Manager, p. 541-706-6203.

So here we are plodding along in the year of the gamer. How you been doing so far? Not saying you have to play all, or even any, of the games on this list. But still, are you taking advantage of the year of the gamer? You should be! Here's some more ideas if you're stumped and have nothing to play:
Feb 19: Wheel of Fortune (Board Game). Yes I know it's a TV show, but it's a board game too. Pretty fun. Well for most people. My mother-in-law is a guru and wins most games. And my father-in-law was on the actual show one time! So I don't play this much needless to say…
Feb 20: Actraiser (SNES). A very interesting mix of simulation as you build your town, and side scrolling as you clear the area. You are the Master (aka God) so you have cosmic powers that are fun to unleash on the populace. Very fun game. Too bad they never made a real sequel to it. The first was Soulblazer, which is admittedly very good. But then the terrible Actraiser 2 came out and completely sucks. I hate dissing a side scroller cause I love them but it was a horrendous piece of caca. Stick with this gem instead.
Feb 21: King's Quest: Quest for the Crown (PC). This was originally just called King's Quest. The story was simple to in the original. Sir Graham gets to be king if he can find all the legendary treasures. The updated version has a much bigger storyline. But basically the point is the same, with Graham going to become the king at the end. The game was innovative as it used 16 bit graphics which were stellar at the time. Big adventure where the player must collect objects and figure out the uses to win the game. Don't pass up anything as even small as a rotten tomato!
Feb 22: Tomb Raider (Video Game). Over 8 million copies of Lara's first adventure were bought. There was something about a female Indiana Jones (with huge boobs!) that appealed to all of us. The games had intriguing puzzles and lots of action. Sure the graphics are very dated now, and Lara doesn't even have anywhere near the same controls now. But don't forget, this is where it all started.
Feb 23: Resident Evil (PS1). If Capcom was given an award for how it impacted video game history, you would find more than one series. (Mega Man anyone?) And this series would be at the top of the list. Survival horror was shot to the forefront because of this amazing game. Stuck in an old mansion in the middle of the woods. You have limited space to carry the scant supplies the game gives you. Not much ammo. Not much health. And zombies and rabid dogs everywhere. This game was awesome. Now it is once again dated like a lot of other games on this list. The blood looks fake, the rooms are brightly lit. And the hunters look almost comical, except their scream, that's still scary. Still though, fun and challenging, this game is a treasure.
Feb 24: Empire Builder (Board Game). You start with a map of the USA. Your goal is to build railroads across it. Connect 5 major cities (out of the 6 on the board) and have 250 million dollars and you win. Super fun game. Up grade your trains. Deliver goods long distances to make more money. But watch out for floods, snow, and the Canadian rail strike. Only drawback to the game is the time involved. Even with the fast rules (where you double the speed of the trains) it still takes a minimum of 3 hours to play this game. And it always seem to take us all night to play it. Fun, but you better have a game room where you can leave it set up.
Feb 25: Acquire (Board Game). Avalon Hill made amazing games. They were usually pretty complicated. But they were always cool. This wasn't the most complicated game. But it's a helluva lot of fun. What your goal to win is to have the most money. You get this by investing in stock. Buy low, build the hotel chain, then sell high. More fun than it sounds, I promise. Best with more than 3 players because it gets hard to keep track of how much stock everyone has. Superb game. In my top 5 games of all time!
An Act, A Quest, and the Rise of an Empire
So here we are plodding along in the year of the gamer. How you been doing so far? Not saying you have to play all, or even any, of the games on this list. But still, are you taking advantage of the year of the gamer? You should be! Here's some more ideas if you're stumped and have nothing to play:

Mayor Ed Pawlowski continued his effort to sell the public on his proposal to lease Allentown's water and sewer system, but sometimes his arguments were swamped by a deluge of technical facts and unfamiliar financial jargon.
Pawlowski spoke Thursday night at the Scottish Rite Cathedral about the 40- to 50-year lease plan he believes could help Allentown pay the $130 million it owes in pension liabilities.
About 50 people showed up -- roughly the same number at Pawlowski's first public information session at Dieruff High School last week. And, like last week, a sizeable number of city officials and city workers were part of the audience.
This group of people seemed less contentious than the one at Dieruff, and more inclined to ask off-topic questions such as the ratio of city managers to city workers and the possibility of reducing the pensions of current city retirees.
The meeting started 20 minutes late, because Pawlowski did a live interview about the lease proposal in Bethlehem with radio station WDIY.
After arriving at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, the mayor delivered the same power point presentation he made at Dieruff, right down to the joking asides, and then answered more than two dozen written questions.
He assured one questioner that emergency calls would be answered on weekends and holidays, no matter what group was awarded the lease to run the water and sewer systems. "They would be required to have staff 24/7," Pawlowski said.
Another questioner wanted to know if the $160 million to $180 million valuation of the water and sewer plants was realistic. Scott Shearer, a financial consultant for the city, responded that the firm hired by Allentown "used very conservative numbers."
Still another questioner wanted to know why the city couldn't use pension bonds to make money over time instead of getting a fixed amount of money up front with a lease. Schearer also answered that question, saying, "You could borrow money at 6 to 7 percent, but can you guarantee you're going to earn 7 or 8 percent every year for the next 20 years? That's a bigger risk than what we're talking about here."
Things got a bit murky when Pawlowski tried to explain how the city could turn two prized assets into cash, and why the city would immediately be on firmer financial footing by getting the lease money up front.
Pawlowski's constant use of terms such as MMO (governmental shorthand for the minimum amount Allentown is required to come up with each year to pay off the unfunded pension liability); "monetizing the asset" (finding a way to get money for the water and sewer system, as through a lease), and "delta" (the difference between one sum and another) did little to clarify things.
There was a light moment as the event planner Kelly Henry read the final question: "How many people in this room receive an annual pension of $92,000. Please raise your hand."
Pawlowski grinned, and then replied, "I'm sure not many."
Two more public information meetings on the lease proposal are planned. The first is on Aug. 16 at the Lehigh Valley Health Network's Mack Auditorium on Mack Boulevard, the second at Sacred Heart Hospital on Chew Street. Both will start at 6 p.m.

Yogurt, candles, diet soft drinks. Chick stuff, all of it.
But with a package makeover and some clever marketing, manufacturers are hoping to increase sales of all three by bringing them into the domain of dudes.
Powerful Yogurt, a Greek yogurt "designed for the active man," has now hit local shelves.
Dubbed "brogurt" by food blog Grub Street, it comes in a larger "man-sized" serving and therefore has a beefier protein content of up to 25 grams.
At Tops, Powerful Yogurt is currently priced at $2 for eight ounces, while Chobani Greek yogurt is $1 per six-ounce cup. Powerful's striking red and black container is stamped with a logo resembling a steer's skull and is contoured in the middle to represent toned abdominal muscles.
Touted as a "nutritional superfood" for fitness freaks, Powerful Yogurt's tagline is "Find your inner abs."
"Four out of 10 consumers are guys, but we realized they're not being catered to," said Carlos Ramirez, chief executive officer of the Florida-based company Powerful Men. "Guys are concerned about protein intake and building muscle, but no one was talking to them about yogurt."
It's pretty genius, really. Without the cost of creating a new product or significantly changing the old one, a slight shift in branding opens an entirely new avenue for sales.
"What you have here is a brand manager poring over research trying to extract a single benefit that can be marketed toward men," said Bill Collins, principal at Travers Collins.
It's not the first time a company has taken a product that has been successfully targeted to women and tried to open it up to a broader market – often with a higher price tag.
In an extreme example, one company is even marketing maxi pads to men.
Well, not maxi pads per se, but pretty close.
With a "Guard your manhood" campaign, adult diaper-maker Depend is hawking Guards and Shields – incontinence pads for men.
Touted as a solution for light bladder leakage, the products closely resemble female sanitary napkins, complete with "leak barriers" and an adhesive strip.
Yankee Candle recently released its second limited-edition collection of "man candles" scented like bacon and buttered popcorn.
It joins top-selling man candle favorites Man Town, First Down and Riding Mower.
In 2011, Dr Pepper Snapple Group famously launched a "manly" diet soda called Dr Pepper Ten after research showed men were hesitant to drink diet soft drinks, considering them feminine.
The company's macho "Not for Women" campaign ran commercials during the U.S. Open and featured such imagery as a lumberjack eating tree bark and an action hero shooting laser guns from a dune buggy.
Seeing a similar opportunity with yogurt, Ramirez and his partners came up with the bigger 8-ounce container and a hyper-masculine marketing campaign.
In one ad, a buff cowboy hooks jumper cables to his abdominal muscles and uses them to jump-start an attractive blonde's truck.
In another, a macho lumberjack strikes a match on his abs and starts a blazing fire for a female camper (whose shirt pops open, revealing robust cleavage).
In the next, a man plays a match of rapid-fire pingpong using his washboard abs instead of a paddle.
But commercials for Dannon's Oikos Greek yogurt are clearly aimed at women. Featuring actor John Stamos and the yogurt as equal objects of lust, one commercial promises the yogurt will turn "the next person you see into John Stamos for 5 seconds."
Like Powerful, other yogurt commercials aimed at women tout yogurt's health benefits, but instead of a protein-packed, muscle builder, it's presented as a "diet" food.
"When you engage in gender-based marketing, you have to be really careful," he said. "If you're not, you can offend your target market."
Lindsey pointed to the launch of Bic Cristal pens for women, advertised as having a sleeker design to better fit a woman's hand and as being available in an array of feminine colors.
The product marketing was skewered as sexist in thousands of Amazon reviews. Ellen DeGeneres devoted a five-minute monologue to its absurdity on national television, complete with a commercial parody.
The parody ended with a voice-over that said, "For best results, use while barefoot and pregnant."
To truly succeed with a product marketed for a particular gender demographic, there must be meaningful differences between product types, not just advertising types, Lindsey said.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Symmetricom (UNKNOWN: SYMM.DL ) jumped by more than 50% Tuesday, after the specialist in precise time-keeping technologies announced that it has has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Microsemi (NASDAQ: MSCC ) for approximately $230 million, or $7.18 per share.
So what: Microsemi closed up by more than 2% following the announcement of the acquisition, which it says should be accretive to its own earnings to the tune of between $0.22 and $0.25 per share in its first full calendar year, ending December 2014.
"The acquisition of Symmetricom will create the largest and most complete timing portfolio in the industry today," Microsemi CEO James Peterson said.
Now what: The deal isn't final just yet, and it's worth noting it also gives Symmetricom until Nov. 8 to solicit superior bids. Per the terms of the agreement, however, acceptance of a higher bid would also result in the payment of "certain termination fees" to Microsemi, so investors probably shouldn't count on seeing that happen. As a result, and with shares of Symmetricom currently sitting at $7.21 per share -- or $0.03 per share above the offer price -- I think Symmetricom investors would be wise to take profits.
What's more, Microsemi investors should remember Symmetricom is currently unprofitable on a GAAP basis (though it did report an adjusted net income last quarter of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share), so Microsemi will need to ensure those losses don't continue into the foreseeable future.
That said, if everything works out as planned, and with shares of Microsemi currently trading for just 10.6 times next year's estimated earnings, long-term Microsemi investors could certainly be rewarded for their patience.

Families have been urged to avoid locking in utility payments if they want to benefit from the price war heralded by EDF Energy's gas price cuts yesterday.
Consumer Focus, an industry watchdog said: "It's probably not the right time to be going for a fixed deal now that wholesale energy prices are going down."
The utility group became the first big supplier to lower prices. Its 5 per cent reduction will be worth £3 a month to each of its 1.4 million customers.
The move comes three months after the company increased gas bills by more than 15 per cent,

Before the game: Pat Devlin is the only one who roster spot is undetermined. Ryan Tannehill and Matt Moore are in, Aaron Corp has no shot. What Devlin needs to do is convince the Dolphins they need to devote a third quarterback roster spot for him. It's possible he's already done so, but a strong performance against New Orleans sure wouldn't hurt.
After the game: The best thing that could have happened for Devlin was the shoulder injury sustained by Corp on his first play after he replaced Devlin midway through the fourth quarter. Before then, Devlin had been up-and-down, in particular struggling in the red zone. But then he led the Dolphins to a comeback victory after the Corp injury, showing the ability to come through in the clutch. Let's put his chances of making the roster at 50-50.
Before the game: Even counting returner Marcus Thigpen as a running back, the only player here not seemingly assured of a roster spot is Jonas Gray, and the reality that probably only a jaw-dropping performance could save him from the waiver wire.
After the game: Not that he had great blocking in front of him, but Gray rushing for 8 yards on seven carries probably sealed his fate.
Before the game: Evan Rodriguez's path to a roster spot became smoother after Jorvorskie Lane was released on Tuesday, but there's still no guarantee the Dolphins will keep even one fullback. It is likely, however, but Rodriguez still could erase all doubt with a good outing against the Saints.
After the game: It was a rough outing for Rodriguez, who drop a pass, was stuffed for no gain on a rushing attempt near the goal line and whose blocking didn't look at first glance overly impressive. He's probably looking at the down side of 50-50 to make the roster.
Before the game: The best guess is the Dolphins will keep five wide receivers on the initial 53-man roster, although keeping six isn't out of the question. Either way, there probably isn't anything completely settled yet beyond the threesome of Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson. That means it's a big game for Rishard Matthews, Marvin McNutt, Chad Bumphis, Brian Tyms and Keenan Davis.
After the game: McNutt clearly stood out among the group because of his game-winning 56-yard touchdown, but Tyms also had a nice outing with four catches, although he might have been able to do a better job of shielding the defender on the Devlin pass that was intercepted at the goal line. Matthews had a nice catch over the middle, while Bumphis and Davis were pretty quiet. At this point, it sure looks as though it will come down to Matthews, McNutt and Tyms.
Before the game: The Dolphins are down to four tight ends after the injury sustained by Dustin Keller, and it's difficult to envision Charles Clay or Dion Sims or Michael Egnew not making the team. Kyle Miller fell behind after getting injured in the Hall of Fame Game and he may be playing for a roster spot Thursday night.
After the game: Clay didn't play Thursday, Sims had a big game, Egnew and Miller did little. Egnew figures to make the roster because he was a third-round pick just a year ago, but Clay and Sims clearly stand out in this group. Miller doesn't figure to be kept at this point.
Before the game: • The top eight appear pretty clear with Martin, Incognito, Pouncey, Jerry, Clabo, Samuda, Garner and Dallas Thomas, which means Jeff Adams, Chris Barker, Sam Brenner, Andrew McDonald and Will Yeatman likely are competing for one spot. The game Thursday night clearly could have an impact in the decision-making process here.
After the game: Without the benefit of game tape, it's tough to discern offensive linemen unless somebody really stands out in a positive or a negative way. That wasn't the case last night. The best guess at this point is the ninth spot will come down to Yeatman or Brenner.
Before the game: This is the position where the Dolphins have the most depth, therefore it's the position where there's the least uncertainty. In fact, a case could be made that there is a clear lineup of nine D-linemen for the 53-man roster with Soliai, Starks, Odrick, Wake, Vernon, Jordan, Randall, Shelby and Vaughn Martin. It's really up to the others — Antwan Applewhite, Tristan Okpalaugo, A.J. Francis, Tracy Robertson — to convince the Dolphins coaches they should be kept.
After the game: Francis and Okpalaugo once again made their presence felt against New Orleans, but the question still remains: Will it be enough? An easy thing to bring up would be the idea of trading one of the big three defensive tackles, but both Soliai and Starks are in the final year of their contract, which hurts their market value. Of the top nine, the two who could be most vulnerable are Randall and Shelby. This one will be interesting because the Dolphins have more quality players here than roster spots available.
Before the game: This is pretty much like the wide receiver spot, where there's a lot of competition beyond the first group. In addition to the three starters, Jason Trusnik is almost a lock to make the team, leaving either two or three spots available among Jelani Jenkins, Austin Spitler, Jonathan Freeny, Josh Kaddu and Lee Robinson. Based on what we've seen this summer, there doesn't appear to be much separating the last four and Jenkins has the advantage of being a fourth-round pick from this year's draft.
After the game: As has been the case throughout the summer, Robinson might have been the most impressive of the backup linebackers with four tackles, two passes defensed and a tackle on special teams. Among the others, Kaddu had a nice game and Jenkins might have had his most productive preseason outing. This one truly is too close to call.
Before the game: We can see eight spots being all but secured as this point with Jones, Grimes, Taylor, Patterson, Wilson, Carroll, Davis and Clemons. The Dolphins are likely to keep either nine or 10 DBs, meaning there would be two spots available among De'Andre Presley, R.J. Stanford, Don Jones, Kelcie McCray, Julian Posey, Keelan Johnson and Jordan Kovacs. Of that group, Stanford is the one who has stood out the most, and that's because of his work on special teams.
After the game: Stanford has been a standout on special teams throughout the preseason, but he did nothing to help his cause Thursday because he had a really rough night at cornerback. McCray had a really good outing, but it should have been better because he dropped what should have been an easy interception. Presley made a really bad play when he tried to pick up a loose ball in the end zone to start running with it instead of just falling on it, giving New Orleans a touchdown in the process. But he atoned with a game-clinching interception. Based on last night, McCray probably clinched his spot on the roster, but nobody else made much of a statement.

Joey's Restaurant Review: Developer Joey Goldman and his wife, Thea, helped create a café district in the cutting edge arts area of Wynwood, and opened Joey's, a stylish, sociable indoor-outdoor hangout that serves authentic Italian food at bargain prices. Properly al dente pastas start at $6, and fresh, never tired, salads at $3; the priciest entrée (lamb chops with polenta and a juniper berry reduction) tops out at $24. But especially recommended are the wood-oven pizzas, with thin, blistered crusts and imaginative toppings. On paper a few sound so risky---like the Dolce e Piccante, with figs, Gorgonzola, honey and hot red pepper---it seems dubious they'd work, but, due to the beautiful sense of balance displayed by chef Ivo Mazzon (who is from Italy's Veneto region), they do. Our favorite is the Carbonara, with fresh mozzarella, bacon, creamy soft-baked eggs, and crisp asparagus. Wines basically range from only minimally marked-up $55-$150 Super Tuscans to thoughtfully chosen super-saver bottles for $25-$30, though there are a few $1,000 Bordeaux first growth reds for wealthy art patrons, too. Note: While the surrounding area can be unnerving after dark, valet parking at the door makes the adventure perfectly safe.

Latest Census Data Underscore How Important Unions Are for the Middle Class
SOURCE: AP/John Minchillo
Read the full column (CAP Action)
The middle class remained historically weak last year, according to Census Bureau numbers released today, as it continued to feel the effects of a decades-long slide driven in part by the decline in union membership across the country. Last year, the middle class's share of the nation's total income remained stagnant at its lowest point since these data were first reported: The middle 60 percent of households took home only 45.7 percent of the nation's income in 2012, the same percent it took home in 2011 and well below the 53.2 percent it used to take home in 1968.
Driving this decline is a stagnation of middle-class incomes that has occurred at the same time that the nation's highest earners have seen their incomes grow dramatically. Between 1967 and 2012, the average income of the top 5 percent grew by 88.2 percent in real terms, or three times the 26.6 percent growth experienced by the middle 60 percent. Middle-class incomes grew only slowly in the 1970s and 1980s but have now been in decline for some time, with the median household income in 2012 below the level it was in 1989. There are a number of reasons for this unequal growth, including increased globalization that has undermined middle-class wages and rising returns to higher education that have disproportionately grown the pay of those at the very top.
Among the most overlooked of these factors, however, has been the decline of labor unions. As Figure 1 shows, the fall in labor-union participation since the late 1960s is highly correlated with the decline in the share of the nation's total income going to the middle class.

Column: McCarron Needs to Throw to Shed 'Game-Manager' Label
The NFL Scouting Combine is just two days away, and already we know that one Heisman trophy finalist from this?past season,?Johnny Manziel, will not throw. Runner-up A.J. McCarron?remains undecided. If he's smart, he'll go out and throw.
McCarron went 36-4 playing in the SEC, winning two national titles as the starting quarterback of the Alabama Crimson Tide. But he never received any real recognition for those victories because of where he played and who his supporting cast was.
In 2011, the story was Alabama's defense that delivered a shutout?against LSU in?the BCS?National Championship. McCarron?methodically drove the ball downfield, while kicker Jeremy Shelley capped off five drives with field goals. Then Trent Richardson came barreling in for a 34-yard score. But it was the defense allowing just 92 yards that garnered most of the attention.
That year, the school had seven unanimous All-Americans and a record four players taken in the first round of the?draft. Eight players were drafted in total?and six players were signed as undrafted free agents.
In 2012, McCarron went 20 of 28 for 264 passing yards?and four touchdowns in the BCS title game, a game he called the "best game of his life." But critics pointed to Alabama's colossal offensive line man-handling Notre Dame's defense that really stole the show. Two offensive linemen -- Chance Warmack and D.J. Fluker were taken in the first round of the draft and?nine players taken altogether,?including running back Eddie Lacy.
Critics?also point to the loss against Texas A&M, Alabama's only loss of the season, when McCarron threw an interception on a fourth-and-goal play on the two-yard line.
Of course there was the five-play, 72-yard drive?in the final 1:34 against LSU that gave McCarron?his moment the week before -- a 28-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Yeldon to take a 21-17 lead and defeat the Tigers in Baton Rouge. That one was for the ages, a Brady-esque comeback.
It's?moments like that where you're left wanting more. Let's see him carry a team on his back, with no ground game and pressure in his face, without an offensive line or a defense destroying the opposition. Let's see him play with the defense Johnny Manziel had to work with in 2013 and constantly have to play behind. Could he have overcome a 21-point deficit?against Duke?
Let's disarm him and see what he can do without at least one 1,000-yard rusher, something he had all three years as a starter. You could always count on opposing defenses?to try and load?the box against Trent Richardson or Eddie Lacy or Yeldon.
It's no secret that McCarron always had a strong supporting cast at Alabama, but that is undoubtedly what's hindering him in the pre-draft process and will only make matters worse if he elects not to throw in Indianapolis. As one NFL scout put it, "He is a classic game manager. He absolutely needs to throw."
An assistant on another team chimed in. "Teams don't like it when players don't throw."
His best bet at this point is to distance himself from what was achieved at?Alabama, throwing with guys he hasn't worked with before, rather than staying in?the friendly confines of?Tuscaloosa.?It's either do that, or risk getting overshadowed by Teddy Bridgewater or Blake Bortles or Jimmy Garoppolo or Derek Carr (after a solid Senior Bowl, Carr?has yet to make up his mind).
There are?already?preconceived notions that his arm strength is limited, that he can't make the big throws accurately downfield, that he's unable to hit the tight windows. It would appear that he's aware of these limitations, however, because you rarely see him make a mistake. How many times did you see him take a chance though?
Maybe that's the real issue. But it shouldn't be.
This is the young man who once nearly lost his life in a jet ski accident as a little boy, who still has?six plates and four screws in his face. Certainly he's got the mettle (no pun intended)?to lay it all on the line and compete in Indianapolis. And?if he has a rough day,? he can come roaring back the way Cam Newton did three years ago, the way he did against LSU in a triumphant moment that left him sobbing on the sideline after.
His final college game ended with a disappointing 45-31?loss to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, a game in which he?threw two interceptions.?It wasn't the A.J. McCarron we were used to seeing, so shouldn't he be chasing redemption instead of hiding out?
Unless he wants to play it safe.?And to scouts, well that should tell them everything they need to know.

Chongwen District
|District of the China
|Today part of
|Part of the Dongcheng District
Chongwen District (simplified Chinese: 崇文区; traditional Chinese: 崇文區; pinyin: Chóngwén Qū) is a former district of the Chinese Municipality of Beijing, located relatively southeast to the city center (Tiananmen), and was situated between Yongdingmen and Qianmen. It spanned an area of 16.46 square kilometres (6.36 sq mi). It bordered Dongcheng District to the north, Fengtai District to the south, Chaoyang District to the east, and Xuanwu District to the west. It merged into the Dongcheng District in July 2010.
Chongwen District was one of Beijing's more compact districts, with per capita area being considerably less than other districts.[citation needed] Prior to its merger with Dongcheng District, it was considered[by whom?] the smallest out of the four districts that compose the city center. The district was renowned for the Temple of Heaven and Longtan Park, as well as housing the two original (and the most authentic) Peking Duck restaurants, Quanjude and Bianyifang. Prior to the establishment of the People's Republic of China, it was one of the two districts with large number of residents who lived in poverty (the other being Xuanwu District).[citation needed]

UNCTAD Policy Brief Highlights Economic Opportunities of Mitigation
December 2009: The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has published a policy brief titled "Climate change: turning costs into income opportunities," which addresses the distribution of costs and incomes of mitigation.
UNCTAD states that developing countries, although facing considerable costs, can also generate new income if they adapt their development strategies to the requirements of climate change mitigation. It stresses the role of government in facilitating the process of structural change, not only by fostering "green" consumer preferences, but also by implementing pro-active industrial policies that support the production of climate-friendly equipment and appliances. The brief concludes that the world can move to a low-carbon economy without 'feeling' paralyzed by the costs and without sacrificing growth in the developing world. [The Policy Brief]

Predictions are great. No one's predictions are ever going to be 100 per cent right, but it's important to make (thoughtful) ones. It's one way we can get ourselves in the right frame of mind to shape the future, and not just experience it.
Robert Regis Hyle made three bold predictions for 2013 (See Link), on systems security, telematics growth and IT staff. I'm nodding at his first two predictions, he's spot on, but I'm not so sure about the third. Hyle's point is that as Baby Boomer COBOL programmers continue to retire, carriers will be forced to replace old core systems. He even sees some pushback against outsourcing as companies strive to own the design and build of these new core systems.
I can't argue against the demographic. But I'll offer this: COBOL still has a lot of things going for it. First, it works. Second, it's teachable. Third, the legacy code in existence has been tested in the toughest environment known to mankind – actual business life.
But even if such legacy systems do have to
be retired for lack of skilled personnel, does this really dictate inhouse
redevelopment? Retirement of core systems is a key opportunity to consider the
as-a-service model. This is where the outsourcing companies will bite back.
They'll be asking customers: Do you really want to invest in a bunch of new
core systems – and the staff that go with them? Or would you rather pay as you
go, with unlimited backup etc etc etc? If your crystal ball is showing a bunch of
graying Javanauts and Hadoopites facing deja vu all over again, maybe it's
tuned to the wrong future. Thanks RRH for getting us to think about these important topics.

Ashlee Simpson may only be 24, but she's got one thing older sis Jess wants: a baby.
"She's always saying, 'Oh, I want a baby!' " Simpson tells October's Redbook, on sale Sept. 22. "Being a mom's so empowering and incredible. I'm one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that's where the best moments come from."
Having her son, Bronx, not only calmed down the once wild singer-turned-actress, it also helped her mature as a person, she says.
"I've grown up so much," she says. "Your body is changing, and it's such an amazing time to feel that connection ... Being pregnant was the healthiest I've ever been in my life. Except for the cupcakes."
When asked about whether she envies sister Jessica, 29, for her freedom as a single gal, Ashlee responds: "I really don't."

Quick Tip...for the Gout!
August 11, 2008 - Ron Flaviano
Although I don't consume any of the rich foods associated with the gout, I suffered a bout with it this weekend. It honestly feels like a broken toe, foot or ankle. I have had the misfortune to be afflicted with the gout a few times in the past, and learned a super tip that actually works (for me, that is...)
Although this might not work for everyone, this tip does the trick, and works in about one day. Knudsen's Just Tart Cherry Juice (usually found in the organic section of most grocery stores) manages to clear the body of uric acid, which causes the gout. If you drink a few glasses of this tart juice, your foot pain may go away within a day...much shorter than the average gout bout!
Not much retro about this blog, but perhaps it will save a few of you out there some major PAIN!
