A new survey shows that out of ActiveSync based smartphones available, the Apple iPhone is the leader in enterprise adoption with a 61% share of the market...

Entreprise users only use Microsoft Exchange ? I don't think.

Well, glad to see Android is picking up momentum in Enterprise, especially since there aren't too many Android phones really optimized for business.

almost 5 to 1 lead for the iPhone there buddy. Lol. Sucks being a fandroid.
10. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
considering real enterprise management didn't make it to android until 2.2 (unless your rocking motoblur which has had since the cliq) and 2.2 didn't make it on the bulk of android phones until the last few months... I'd be scared if I were an ibot... lol

I thought android was so far ahead of iOS that it made it look ancient? How is it possible it just got real enterprise support? By the way I used the Thunderbolt on enterprise and the iPhone blows it away.

*rolls eyes* see below, Taco. Only someone as stupid as you takes an all or nothing approach to technology. "You mean your favored tech lacked feature X? LOL that means it's so far behind overall, despite having the rest of the alphabet in advantages over MY preferred technology!!"

All you stupid ass faggots just need to quit it with the hate between Apple vs. the rest of the world. Grow the hell up little Taco.
14. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
There was only a 3 to 1 lead in the last period, skippy, which is pretty good considering factors already named.
You have no right to play victim when we descend upon you anymore, Taco. You posted that comment looking for a fight. However, I feel bad beating down on the mentally retarded.

How do you still not get it, Taco? How much of your brain has been removed since birth in order to stop the encroachment of the cancer of stupid on the rest of your body? How do you not get that not enough Android phones have had Exchange support long enough for this survey to be meaningful? Yes, with a three year head start the iPhone has more market share than Android in a certain area. And they're about to lose the share they have. Why are you so happy about this, iFanboy?
I mean, does it give you orgasmic pleasure to be this stupid? How do you even function in society? Your stupidity, combined with your overall douchebag flavor, is enough to choke anyone in a fifty yard radius of you. Your mother's vag probably spat you out at 6 months, firing you out like a bullet from a gun right into a foster home, because her body couldn't survive your developing stupid without being sucked into your body like a black hole of stupid. You were probably raised by Apple fans because at that point they were the only ones who could survive your stupid, as they were already infected with their own powerful stupid.
That. Is how. Stupid. You are.

dude u need to calm down... just cause the iphone beats android doesnt mean u have to rant about crap that doesnt even make sense... and why is it that the iphone, which obviously was smart enough to get this support three years ago, should be disqualified becuase of this? ur saying it shud be punished for getting the tech quicker? and u are calling the other guy stupid... and if u wanna compare how much time iphone and android have had with this tech, iphone has much more marketshare for the ratio... maybe u cant comprehend that, idk... and android will never overtake ios in enterprise becuase it is OPEN SOURCE everyone has access to the code! that just screams hack me!!!!!!
38. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Let's start from the top. Lucas, I'm not annoyed because iPhone has deeper penetration than Android in the business arena. At this stage that's still a reasonable expectation. However, I am annoyed because no matter how patient and understanding any Android fan is with you or Taco, (or Gemini or Hawk for that matter) none of us can explain anything in simple enough terms for any of you to understand where we're coming from. You don't understand the crux of the reasons we were upset over the iPhone location tracking (and you don't understand the implications of open source) and Taco here doesn't understand that the iPhone outselling anything in any category does NOT mean it's necessarily the best phone ever. You both bleat the same bullshit that Steve Jobs does without ever paying attention at all when we explain you're wrong.
I am tired, I am sick. I am ranting, and I know that you still just won't fucking get it when or if you read this post. You'll continue repeating yourself and Taco will keep being a dick and chirping "Crushing Defeat!" Like a goddamned marionette of a puppet.
I really don't know what more can be said after this. I have tried my hardest and still neither of you understand. What can I say that will get you two to finally understand?
46. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
u r not even making a point... all u r saying is that we are stupid and wont say android is amazing it is perfect in every way and the iphone sucks in every way... and u are calling us stupid and childish? ur whole comment above just sounds retarded... and yes, u really have made no great point besides for sounding stupid and desperate...

to many reason that make the iphone and ipad the best, but the main reason its so easy to use ( user friendly), even an old man still can use the iphone and ipad. dont know but i feel that next year WP going to kick some A.... ?!
Ps. Android still doing a good :)

yeah I'm calling b.s. on this one too; where's BlackBerry? And these are new activations, not existing users
5. temp (unregistered)
Most Blackberrys don't use activesync.
8. Gawain (Posts: 420; Member since: 15 Apr 2010)
BlackBerry doesn't use ActiveSync. In the "enterprise" it uses BES, which still has the lion's share of that segment.
This statistic is based on those that use Exchange and ActiveSync, not BES.
11. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ya, if they included activesync and BES together for a total look at the corperate market, you would see blackberry with a 60%+ share of the market. This is just shown in a way to make iOS look better than it is.
7. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Yea box this doesn't include blackberries because they don't use active sync. I'm sure blackberry still has a very large part of this market. I don't see android making much headway into this market. Windows phone 7 will start picking up so I think windows and apple will be the top two in enterprise for active sync use. Android isn't stable enough and not as secure. Android will do much better in the consumer market.
9. luis_lopez_351 (Posts: 951; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
I still dont get why the iphone is like 3 years behind in tech. and yet its winning??? this is another charlie sheen event :\
12. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
its not winning. BES is still king in corperate by well more than half.. and thats blackberry only.
Androids exept motoblur enabled sets, didnt get full exchange support until android 2.2 froyo. Since that just got pushed out to the bulk of handsets, technically android just got on the playing field and is already making a lot of headway.
17. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
how is it 3 years behind? it matches or passes 90% of android devices with a 1ghz processor, and half a gig of ram. the display resolution surpasses any android device except one. the battery is better than any android, berry, symbian, or windows smartphone. the only place it lacks is with the os, and thats because of design differences not inferior design.
18. luis_lopez_351 (Posts: 951; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
and thee Brain washed isheep said: "the battery is better than any android, berry, symbian, or windows smartphone" Hahaha Your so funny Sybian and Blackberry have the best battery lives of all phones!!! Especially Blackberry! And iphone is behind in screen size, call quality, flash, durability, and phone features(without Apps and Data/wifi Iphone is Useless and boring) OH yeah the biggest mistake is... NO Expandable memory!!!

iphone is like 3 years behind! lol Android does has more feature than iphone but still when it comes to OS IOS still the best and more optimzed and funcational than Android.

"but still when it comes to OS IOS still the best and more optimzed and funcational than Android." -How so?
19. luis_lopez_351 (Posts: 951; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
There are like hundreds of android enabled devices and your saying all of them are dysfunctional??? Have you ever played with the G2, G2X, Nexus one, Nexus S, Samsung galaxy, Motorola Droid X, HTC Incredible 1 & 2, Droid Eris, LG Optimus black, Motorola Atrix, HTC INspire/Evo/Thunderbolt ect... Im sorry but i think you cant tell a difference between Low end and high end devices.

I would probably give the iPhone a shot if it was bigger. After using the 4.3" screens its difficult to use the little guys.

"...smartphone of choice..." those are very strong words. The Blackberry remains dominant since they were first. The iPhone is coming up fast since they were the first with touch screen. However, I work for a major corp. with over 300K employees worldwide and as soon the IT dept. announced a beta test version of their Android e-mail and calendar app, they had over 5,000 beta test requests whiting the first two days.

Every time PA provides article regarding success of Apple, not less than 30 comments will automatically posted. Most of them contains hatred for Apple. I guess my comment is not one of them because I don't hate Apple. I hate PA for being so biased towards the company.
42. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
I agree with your first statement. Every Apple article is full of trolls commenting hate on Apple (see sniggly). I don't get it and why people are so emotionally invested in cell phones and carriers.
39. Kamen (unregistered)
Haven't seen real enterprise not using Blackberry
40. IOS5 (unregistered)
I meant by optimized and functional there's no lag, no malware, less processr power and still fast without any noticeable lag or crash ( iPhone 4 1ghz clocked @800Mhz) and still fast. That's what I meant, and still I think the best Android phones till date HTC and Motorola, but Android OS still need more optimization.
45. i hate lie (unregistered)
I don't believe it. Where did they survey? Disneyland? If they really DID the survey in other places but Disneyland, the result will be Blackberry.

The Sackler Centre is open to the public!
The Sackler Centre was originally due to open in March 2008 but quite early on in the construction phase it was agreed that July 2008 would be more realistic as it is quite a complex building. We've decided to have a 'soft' launch initially. We opened to the public after the Image & Identity Conference was held there on July 18. For the next few months our summer programme will be running in the Sackler Centre spaces enabling us to try them out with the public and iron out any problems.
The Image & Identity exhibition of young peoples' work can be seen on Level 1 throughout the summer. Our Museum Residents are holding open studios on Friday 25 July, Saturday 2 & Sunday 3, Fridays 8, 15,& 22 August, Saturday 6 and Sunday 7, Fridays 12,19 &26 September 2008 from 14.00 to 17.30.
Adult courses and workshops as well as events for families and young people are taking place throughout the summer, and we have a packed programme lined up for the autumn. See the Events and Activities section of the website for details. Please come to have a look at this brand new facility.
The official opening is on 30 September 2008 and this will be followed by the public launch weekend, Designerama on 24, 25 and 26 October 2008 to coincide with half-term.

'The Right Way to Climb Masada – Looking After Your Feet and Surviving the Heat!
When visiting Israel, an excursion not to miss out on is a visit to the fascinating and ancient desert fortress of Masada. Having never been before, I booked a tour to visit and hike the 2000 year old fortification, the scene of a deadly Roman siege against the Jewish rebels in 72 AD that resulted in the mass suicide of nearly 1000 Jewish men, women and children. Masada rises majestically above the Judean and Negev deserts, overlooking the Dead Sea; the lowest point on Earth and although it is possible to take a cable car the 400 meters to its summit, and also the gentler Roman Ramp path, it is highly recommended to hike the side-winding snake-paths up the side of the mountain. This gives you spectacular views over the stunning, raw and arid landscape and a real appreciation of the magnitude of what was involved in the siege.
Hiking Masada, it has to be said, is not an easy task. Although the height and incline aren't the most imposing or arduous, it is the searing desert heat which begins very shortly after sunrise that makes the hike all the more difficult. It is imperative that no matter what time of the year you visit, you take hydration very seriously. I used a 3L Source Hydration pack and I can tell you, was thankful for every last drop of those 3 Liters by the time I had hiked to the top. Just as important as keeping yourself hydrated, is making sure you bring the correct footwear too. This was obviously not a concern to the two middle aged Russian women I saw hiking in stiletto heels, but for the rest of us, wearing the correct footwear will help you get the most out of your Masada hike and prevent the blister and unwanted smells comparing that seemed bewilderingly popular on the bus at the end of the day. Considering the rocky terrain and the unforgiving sun, I opted for a pair of men's Source sandals giving me comfort and sturdiness without the weightiness and lack of ventilation found in hiking shoes/boots. In this kind of environment, I always go for a good pair of hiking sandals as I find they don't weigh you down like boots and shoes tend to do.
Once the hydration and choice of footwear has been sorted, it's time to slip on a hat, slap on some sunscreen and enjoy your historical hike to the summit of ancient Masada. There, you are greeted with unique and interesting antiquities and a view that will simply take your breath away.

This post is to start a discussion about August 2012 Macro stats:
Background info: 31-Male, 5'7"
Started my primal journey at the end of June.
6/30: 225lbs (Waist 46.25")
7/30: 212lbs (Waist 44.0")
8/31: 204lbs (Waist 42.5")
During the month of August, I used Myfitnesspal.com to log every bite of food. (I put the app on my cell, web shortcuts on my work and home computers. I even set reminders in my cell to check my logs for accuracy daily)
My initial goals were to get carbs to about 10%, fats to 60%, and protein to 30%, however that was not possible for me.
I had two non-primal/High carb days in which I was doomed and consumed birthday cake (8/24 my 31st birthday and 8/29 my last day of work in Mexico). I had one high carb day, 8/11 which I over ate bananas and limes. (Should have known better, but didn't think about it at the time)
I used the following assumptions:
Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories
Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories
Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories
Total calories per my tracking minus the macros above = "Other stuff". (I have no idea what this could be, so I call it experimentation error)
I then charted the data in Excel and this is the results:
I am curious to see what people think about the ratios, etc. I am still losing weight and feel great. My better half has also started the primal lifestyle this week and has had weight loss also. We are taking this very serious as our wedding is exactly one month out! (And what better way to start your new life together than primally?)
Thanks for your time. Looking forward to the comments.
~ Chris

Tousu "Billy" Kue and his wife, Sophim Kue, own Thai Cuisine at 310 N. Drake Road in Kalamazoo. Their daughter, Vienna Kue, manages the restaurant.
Billy Kue said he and Sophim will help Vienna open A Thai Cafe in early or mid-March in the former Lenny's Sub Shop location at 7089 S. Westnedge Ave. in the Sam's Club Plaza in Portage.
Lenny's closed in the spring of 2011. When the cafe in Portage opens, Vienna Kue will stop managing Thai Cuisine and will work only at the Portage site.
Billy Kue's brother, Johnny Kue, will take over as Thai Cuisine's manager. Vienna Kue will own the new restaurant, but Billy Kue said he will continue to help his daughter.
"I'll be running back and forth (between the Kalamazoo and Portage locations) to make sure things are in check," Kue said.
The Kues opened their first restaurant, Bangkok Flavor, in 2000 at 5455 Gull Road in Comstock Township but sold the business about eight years later to start up Thai Cuisine, which opened on Dec. 10, 2008.
The 2,029-square-foot space in Portage is being leased from PlazaCorp Realty Advisors Inc. of Kalamazoo, which owns Sam's Club Plaza.
Some of the retail center's other occupants include Avon Beauty Center, Double Exposure Consignment, Mackenzies' Cafe Bakery, Scottrade Branch 210, Second Childhood LLC and Sports Clips Haircuts.
Kue said the remodeling of the Portage location will begin in mid-January. The cafe's interior decor still is being planned, but Kue said it will be similar to Thai Cuisine's interior, which has an exotic Thai decor with burgundy carpeting and red and gold patterned wallpaper.
The remodeling project's cost still must be determined, Kue said. The restaurant will seat 50 diners.
He said Thai Cuisine's top-selling menu items also will be offered at the Portage location, including masaman curry, kew wan, pad Thai, peanut curry noodle, drunken noodle, Bangkok fried rice, pad prik and pad ginger.
But Kue said A Thai Cafe will offer more types of noodle and stir-fry dishes and a greater variety of preparation options than Thai Cuisine offers. And unlike Thai Cuisine, the new cafe will offer fusion dishes, which will combine American-style cuisine with Asian ingredients.
A typical meal at the Portage site, including a drink, will be $7 to $11. Kue said the restaurant's crew of two to five full-time employees and two to five part-time workers will be hired by late February. To apply, pick up an application at Thai Cuisine.
The restaurant in Portage will open at 11 a.m. daily, but the closing times still must be determined. For more information, call Thai Cuisine at (269)344-1451 or visit www.thaicuisinekalamazoo.com. The new restaurant's website should be set up by early February.

MBA Strategic Planning Capstone Program Spring 2015By Vladimir RozovskiyComments Off on MBA Strategic Planning Capstone Program Spring 2015
The MBA Strategic Planning capstone course at LTU provides students with the analytical and strategic concepts and tools they need to effectively utilize their multi-disciplinary knowledge to formulate and implement winning business strategies. As part of the capstone this year, student teams analyzed four leading companies (Subway, Jimmy Johns, Tubby's, and Jersey Mike's) in the Fast Food industry. Each team employed strategic planning concepts and tools learned in the classroom to analyze the structure and competitive intensity of the industry, identify external opportunities and threats, evaluate internal strengths and weaknesses, benchmark competitors, and to recommend actions to enhance the company's strategy and long-term competitive advantage.
Each team interviewed company managers, surveyed customers, and assessed competitors; collected data from company vision and mission statements, core principles, and publications and reports; and gathered information on products, prices, service, and facilities from on-site visits.

Gosh, a moment of guilty blushing for the poor abandoned blog please! Shame!
The last month has been an extremely busy, and pleasurable one…filled with projects, exhibitions, computer-related stress, big news, exciting plans, more work, design and creativity conventions, other projects, strategic planning, more computer-related stressing, extra's acting for a film…and finally, sunshine, picnics and chocolate flapjacks…yum!
Last week saw the completion of an art project run by my friend with the local grade school. The children started out by listening and moving to a piece of music, from there they created an imaginary world based on that music. Using all recycled and waste materials they built these worlds, created characters, and wrote down the story of the land and it's inhabitants. There were two sessions of about thirty children, each divided into three groups, each group listening to a different piece of music…and only three weeks within to complete the project!
It was a mind-boggling three hours photographing, talking-to, and observing these mini-artists! Thirty children, doing three different projects, with four adults, one special needs assistant, one teacher, one photographer, three large scale installations, and a bucket load of enthusiasm is ALOT to fit into one room!!
These children are normally only assigned ONE HOUR of art, PER WEEK. That's it. No wonder they went so do-lally!
They created wildly imaginative landscapes; filled with lonely telephone ladies looking for their soul-mates, snow that tasted of whatever you wished, kings that travelled by wind power (not exactly the eco-friendly version!) and monsters that protected the gate of their world by trapping their foes in fully functioning cardboard prisons!
Here are a few snippets of the project in action!
Hope you're enjoying the sunshine our side of the world!
Slap that factor 50 on, and enjoy! ♥

William Hung Weighs In on American Idol's Cancellation
Originally posted 05/12/2015 06:50PM
In the 14 seasons of American Idol, very few auditions have been as memorable as William Hung's.
The season 3 contestant was deemed one of the worst singers by Simon Cowell for his off-key performance of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs."
Despite the negative comments he received on the show, Hung, 32, still has a sincere appreciation for the reality singing competition, which Fox announced would not be returning after next season.

April 8, 2004HOLIDAY SPIRIT Passover was a family affair for Demi Moore and Madonna, who attended a Kabbalah retreat at the Westin Diplomat Hotel near Miami earlier this week. Moore brought Ashton Kutcher, while Madonna was accompanied by hubby Guy Ritchie and her two kids. Along with taking in the retreat's lectures and events, Madonna and Ritchie were spotted on the beach and relaxing by the Diplomat's pool. "She's very sincere, very authentic and she's got an amazing consciousness," one attendee to Monday night's seder told Daily Insider about Madonna. "She is just like us, had no airs, no bodyguards. If you're willing to stay until 3 in the morning, it's not just an act." Both Ritchie and Kutcher also took in Miami's party scene: Guy was spotted (sans the Mrs.) at South Beach nightclub Mansion on Saturday night; Ashton stopped by the Raleigh Hotel's poolside Sunday Soiree.

One of the few times I have disclosed a stock purchase in real time happened on April 19, 2013, when I disclosed that I had purchased IBM (NYSE:IBM) at $190 per share.
Shares of IBM had fallen almost 10% in response to the news that net income had fallen by a percent (yes, one percent) and revenue had fallen by 5%. It kind of makes you wonder about a long-term investor's ability to handle adversity: back in the day, a young Warren Buffett was actually making his first stock purchase while the United States military was engaged in the Battle of Midway during WWII. Some days, I can't help but wonder how these investors selling IBM during a 1% drop in net income would have fared if they were investing in the early 1940s.
Anyway, the most interesting thing about the sharp fall in IBM's stock price is the fact that it was joined by a reassurance from IBM management that IBM's target of $16.70 in earnings this year remains unchanged. Think about that: IBM, a powerhouse company that is trading below its typical P/E ratio of the past decade, fell a further 10% even though the company was likely to increase earnings per share from $14.37 to $16.78. That's one of the wild things about the fall that IBM stock experienced: the stock was undervalued by traditional P/E metrics, and the earnings per share was expected to increase at a steady clip even taking into account the net income and revenue dip as reported in the first quarter of 2013.
Certainly, if IBM were to experience something like 10% annual revenue declines for the next decade, it would be fair to say that shareholders might be in trouble. But it is odd that people assume that robust revenue growth must somehow be a part of IBM's long-term growth story.
The two weirdest criticisms I have ever heard about IBM are the following: 1) IBM is a "buyback" company, and that model is unsustainable, and 2) I won't invest in IBM because the revenues hardly grow.
The 2003 to 2012 period illustrates how IBM shareholders can build wealth even without material gains in revenue generated.
Let's look at the figures. Okay, in 2003, IBM generated $89 billion revenue. In 2012, IBM generated $104 billion in revenue. Over an almost decade time frame, IBM only managed to grow its total revenue about 15-20%. According to the people highly critical of IBM's slow growing revenue stream, this is supposed to spell trouble for shareholders, right?
Well, let's look at what happened. In 2003, IBM generated $4.34 per share in earnings, paid out $0.63 in dividends, and traded between $73 and $94 per share. In 2012, IBM generated $14.37 in earnings, paid out $3.30 in dividends, and traded between $177 and $211 per share. Any way you slice it, shareholders had a good decade. The earnings just about tripled. The dividends quintupled. And the stock price doubled. The company managed to do all of these things despite only growing revenue by a total of 15-20% over that time frame.
The secret is that the company reduced the share count from just under 1.7 billion pieces into just over 1.1 billion pieces. There is nothing unsustainable about taking big chunks of your cash flow and retiring the stock. The problem with most corporate America buybacks is the fact that a meaningful amount of stock is not actually retired, but in the case of IBM, the share count is steadily shrinking. As long as the shares continue to be retired, stagnating revenue can prove to be a relatively small obstacle on the path to wealth creation for IBM shareholders.
Certainly, top-line earnings growth and revenue growth would facilitate the creation of wealth for IBM shareholders. The misconception, though, is when we elevate revenue growth to some kind of "sine qua non" status that is essential for IBM to be a decent investment. There's nothing wrong with being a buyback company if you do it right. The IBM dividend checks that have quintupled this past decade get cashed at the bank just the same regardless of whether they were produced by a dwindling share count or robust top-line growth. The point I want you to keep in mind is this: since 2003, revenue at IBM grew modestly, and the company had an extensive buyback commitment, and neither of these circumstances prevented IBM shareholders from generating very real wealth over the past 10 years.
Disclosure: I am long IBM. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Michael Vick's making progress. Slowly but surely he's becoming less disliked by the American public.
Vick ranked seventh in Forbes' annual list of The 10 Most Disliked Athletes in America. He had been atop the list since 2009.
As Forbes explains:
See Metta World Peace - reputations take a while to come back. At least Vick is moving steadily down the list from the top spot he used to occupy.
Last year Vick was tied with Tiger Woods atop the list. They were disliked by 60 percent of the public, according to the complex metrics used to measure the hatred.
This year Forbes measured the athletes by appeal. Vick received 23% appeal. Lance Armstrong, Manti Te'o, Tiger Woods, Jay Cutler, Metta World Peace and Alex Rodriguez all had less appeal than Vick. Again, progress.
While Philadelphia has soured on Vick for his performance on the field in recent years, that's not the reason he still resonates in these type of negative polls. The dislike mostly stems from his part in a dogfighting ring while he was a member of the Falcons.
Still, Vick's overall unlikability can't be totally lost on the Eagles as they try to decide on whether they should keep him as their quarterback for next season. The Eagles had until Wednesday night to decide if they were going to guarantee $3 million of his $15.5 million salary.
Vick is coming off a terrible season where he had 13 total touchdowns and 15 turnovers. The Eagles went 3-7 with him as their starting quarterback in 2012.

ANDERSON, S.C. - The Army Corps of Engineers is warning some landowners near Lake Hartwell about clear cutting trees.
The Anderson Independent Mail reported the corps has told seven property owners that they have removed too many trees, brush and undergrowth near the water. They've been ordered to restore the plants.
Corps spokesman Billy Birdwell said Tuesday that the agency could revoke shoreline permits for the landowners if they fail to comply.
The trees, bushes and undergrowth that ring lakes Hartwell, Russell and Thurmond create a buffer zone between the lakes and the homes, preventing soil, waste from septic systems and lawn-care chemicals from washing into the water.
Corps officials say the natural filters protect water quality wildlife and the 2 million people who rely on the river basin for water.

GEF SGP Projects Promote Energy Efficiency, Combat Climate Change in Ukraine
31 October 2012: The Global Environment Facility's Small Grants Programme (SGP) has provided financial support to implement three demonstration projects to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Ukraine. The projects, implemented by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), promote solar energy use for electricity production and hot water heating, and raise community awareness on energy efficiency and energy saving measures.
One of the projects is a kindergarten in the Teplychne settlement, which serves as a pilot site for promoting solar energy and energy efficiency technologies in public buildings. The kindergarten installed energy efficient windows and a solar water heating system through the project. Elena Panova, UNDP Deputy Country Director, visited the kindergarten with several government officials for a presentation of the project results. She underscored that the GEF SGP has demonstrated how to integrate environmental protection with development priorities.
It is anticipated that these projects will help the housing administration and local authorities improve their capacity to address climate change and ensure energy efficiency. The three projects installed 33 energy-saving windows in addition to energy efficient solar collectors for electricity generation and water heating. These changes are estimated to reduce GHG emissions by 80,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually. The awareness raising component of the project includes ecological seminars, presentations, trainings and workshops on methods to reduce energy consumption.
The three projects are: "Solar energy use for electricity production," "Community awareness raising on energy efficiency in public buildings," and "Renewable solar energy for water heating." The projects are being carried out in the industrial region of Lugansk. [GEF SGP Press Release] [GEF Press Release]

A 16-year-old passenger from Scranton, Pa., was taken to Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, police said.

Pleasant Surprise
Jan 4, 2015 | By Dan
This was one of the items I added to my cart to get the free shipping on $100 order. I didn't expect much, but this was a very pleasant surprise! It's sweet -- but not too sweet -- and syrupy with a hint of wine flavor. My wife and I almost ate it all in one sitting!

Haha leave it to you guys to find the crazy shit that not too many people know about. From the mash ups to Selectavision to gay guys describing vaginas to retards trying to to show off the state of Texas (or god forbid try cooking). I've emailed you a few times but I actually went to an autistic school in Los Angeles for the first three years of high school because my pharmaceutical mother was convinced I had autism. Several autistic offspring of famous people went there too, like the son of the guy who co-wrote the first "Alien" movie. That kid was a fucking douchebag. Anyway I ended up being voted vice president of the school haha I definitely have some stories you would enjoy so once this game comes out (which I have been looking forward to since 2011) and you're done doing all the promoting for it and have some time to do a show, give me a call. Just email me and let me know and I'll give you my cell # or however all that works.
You are in reason for truth any good web marketer. Your website filling quickness is usually incredible. The item kind of feels that you're undertaking almost any special trick. Furthermore, Your contents are generally work of genius. you might have conducted a wonderful course of action during this matter!
We're really inspired using your writing skills as well as while using the structure in your web site. Is niagra your paid for subject matter and also would you change this on your own? No matter what continue being inside the fantastic premium quality publishing, it is actually strange to discover a terrific website like this one today.
All make sense now.

Yes. I think it was also published under the title "North to Freedom".
I liked how he travelled after the guard helped him get out of the camp (I always wondered if the guard was really his father)-just a water bottle and loaves of bread.

I find it mind-boggling that something as trivial as an action film series could become such a constant presence in my life but that's been the case with the James Bond movies. It's not so much that their span happens to equal mine (to the very week, by the way) as I didn't start following them until I was 9 years old -- but ever since, they've always been around one way or another: from big theatrical openings to re-re-releases in the beat up movie houses of old; from Betamax tapings of network T.V. broadcasts (pausing the machine to edit the commercials), to the great looking discs of today. Every couple of years or so they have made their appearance and I've watched each one dozens of times regardless how good or bad they were, an odd fact for which I've had no reasonable explanation.
I'm double-posting my review of "Skyfall" to encourage comments, which my main site can't accept.
In this 50th year of the James Bond series, with the disappointing "Quantum of Solace" (2008) still in our minds, "Skyfall" triumphantly reinvents 007 in one of the best Bonds ever made. This is a full-blooded, joyous, intelligent celebration of a beloved cultural icon, with Daniel Craig taking full possession of a role he earlier played well in "Casino Royale," not so well in "Quantum"--although it may not have been entirely his fault. I don't know what I expected in Bond #23, but certainly not an experience this invigorating.

Robert Redford's "Quiz Show" (1994) depicts the early days of television during the 1950s, a world that evoked fantasy but was run by real human beings. Unlike today's TV programming, the shows from those days were innocent and naïve (much as portrayed in "Pleasantville") but the people behind the scenes were like their colleagues in Sidney Lumet's "Network" (1976). "Quiz Show" shares some basic themes with the latter: the wrongdoings that network executives repeatedly commit, those that good people can occasionally perpetrate as well through greed, and the common denominator between them.

"I realize that most of the turning points in my career were brought about by others. My life has largely happened to me without any conscious plan. I was an indifferent student except at subjects that interested me, and those I followed beyond the classroom, stealing time from others I should have been studying. I was no good at math beyond algebra. I flunked French four times in college. I had no patience for memorization, but I could easily remember words I responded to. In college a chart of my grades resembled a mountain range. My first real newspaper job came when my best friend's father hired me to cover high school sports for the local daily. In college a friend told me I must join him in publishing an alternative weekly and then left it in my hands. That led to the Daily Illini, and that in turn led to the Chicago Sun-Times, where I have worked ever since 1966. I became the movie critic six months later through no premeditation, when the job was offered to me out of a clear blue sky."Visit "I was born inside the movie of my life" to read the opening pages from Roger's forthcoming memoir to be published September 13, 2011.

When I was growing up, my dad did most of the cooking in the house, but on weekends Mom would sometimes cook, usually dried beans. I think if I had to choose one food group to live on the rest of my life, it would be beans.
With rice.
And cornbread.
The kids love beans and rice, so I pulled out of the pantry some dried butter beans from my dad's garden and soaked them overnight, so we could have them for dinner Monday.
I never prepare beans exactly the same way, but it generally goes like this:
Soak beans the night before, then rinse in the morning. Put them in a crockpot.
Warm some kind of smoked pork product in a skillet (bacon, sausage, or best of all, a ham bone) and hopefully render out enough fat that you can saute an onion in it. If not, you'll have to use a little oil. Depending on what kind of beans I'm cooking, I may also add celery, garlic or peppers.
Put the meat and veggies in with the beans, and add a bay leaf and thyme.
Cover with water and cook on low all day.
When they're done, add salt and seasonings to taste.
That's it.
Last night, I happened to have buttermilk in the fridge, so I decided to whip up some cornbread. What follows is a modified version of Mark Bittman's recipe, and it was so good that the kids and I ate just about the whole pan.
Best Homemade Cornbread
3 T butter
1 ¼ buttermilk
1 ½ cups cornmeal
½ cup flour
1 ½ t baking powder
1 ½ t salt
2 T sugar
1 egg
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Put 2T butter in a glass 7 x 10 baking dish and place in oven to melt. Set a timer so you don't forget about it while you mix the batter.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk.
- Measure the buttermilk in a larger glass measuring cup than you need, then add the egg and mix. Stir into the dry ingredients.
- Pull the baking dish out of the oven if you haven't already, and pour in the batter.
- Bake about 30 minutes, just until the edges are lightly browned and the sides start to pull away.
- Take the remaining 1T butter, and let it melt over the top, spreading evenly as it melts.

"The BEST Purebred Stallion I have ever ridden"
-John O'Hara
Click here to read TA Mozart's amazing recovery story!
TA Mozart, or "Chili" as he is known around the barn, is a very athletic, talented, reining athlete with substantial bone mass and a great mind. His unique color (possible sabino gene) adds even more flash to such a wonderful horse. A powerful, beautiful stopper, Chili has displayed natural reining prowess very early in his training. With only 60 days under saddle, when he heard "whoa", even on a longe long, this athletic stallion went to the ground so hard he would leave long tracks even though he didn't yet have sliding plates on his feet. That is a gift in a purebred Arabian.
Chili is so special in the way he thinks. This big hearted stallion is very quiet and laid back, with no sting to him what so ever. While many Arabs are always thinking forward all the time, he is just the opposite. Additionally, he is 100% Pure Polish, and both his sire and dam were imported from Poland by the Christine and Dick Reed. His sire, *Kordelas, has been a top performer as well as one of the leading Arabian sires. You can learn more about *Kordelas by Clicking Here. *Marieta, Chili's dam, is an outstanding Arabian mare, and you can learn more about here by Clicking Here.
Chili is standing at John O'Hara Performance Horses at a breeding fee of $1,200, plus $400 chute fee. With the shipment you will receive 2 doses just in case you need it the next day.

Study shows coffee drinkers have better memories ?
Published Tuesday, July 8, 2008
by Deborah Barnett
A caffeinated drink, often thought to be unhealthy, may be good for you and your brain after all.
Recent studies suggest that coffee improves the memory of women and regular drinkers may have long-term effects. Over time, women 65 and older who drink more than three cups a day had 33 percent less decline in memory than women who drink one cup.
Coffee drinkers including Manda Ostoich of Muncie isn't sure the study is true but said it could be a possibility.
"You really can't know effects until things happen, so I would have to see more research on it to believe it one way or another."
While Ostoich is less skeptical, long-time coffee drinker Julie French of Muncie said she doesn't believe it.
"I've drank coffee for years and my memory has not improved greatly," she said. "It's the same as it was 20 years ago."
Men shouldn't count on a memory boost from coffee. Studies didn't show an increase in men's memory; researchers said the reason may be because men and women metabolize caffeine differently.
