1Steve posted this recipe after I posted a request for a recipe for a banana coffee cake that called for banana liqueur. I baked the cake and it turned out to be pretty good. I cut the recipe in half and baked it in a 9x9 pan. I used glaze #2 since I was out of bananas after I made the cake. I added a little lemon zest to the icing for a different twist. The cake is very moist and has a nice texture. It's not too sweet, even with the glaze. My husband liked the cake very much and I'm sure that he'll ask me to make it for him again. The cake and frosting do not taste like bananas foster but it does have a nice delicate banana flavor to it.
beckas, thanks for the excellent review I am so happy the cake turned out well for you. As for your comment that the cake and frosting don't taste like Bananas Foster I feel I owe you an explanation. You requested a recipe that used banana Liqueur and I found this one for you. However it was simply called banana coffe cake or something like that where I found it. I changed the name so that it would stand out as an liqueur containing recipe. I needed a way to make people realize this was not banana bread. Hope that helps ;)

Connections. That seems to be the word of the week followed by followers. Everything is about connecting to others, but have you considered the type of connection you'd like to have with people?
In a previous guest post on Chris Brogan's blog, I wrote about my frustrations with the decrease in connections as my network increased. I highlighted popular and increasing problems with managing a network or community of over 500 people. One topic I failed to touch is whether or not those connections were short-term or long-term.
Short-Term Connections
If the connections are short-term, then an increase in followers might not be very hard to manage after all. You'll get immediate gratification and so will that follower, without the headache of maintaining that relationship. It's practically a win-win situation for everyone.
Long-Term Connections
However, if the connection is long-term an increase in followers might be the worst thing to ever happen to you. Previous connections may start to fall off the map and new connections may become harder to make.
Think about what type of connection you want to make with the majority of your readers. I use the word majority because it's hard to sustain long-term connections as the number of connections you attempt to make increases. You can't always pick and choose what type of connection you'd like to have with individual people across social networks. To tools to do so effectively just aren't available yet. Nevertheless, it's important that you establish what type of connection you'd like to make and apply the strategies you have for that type of connection with the majority of your audience.
In the long run, it'll make managing and making connections a lot easier on you and your audience.

Tony Bland to join USC staff
New USC basketball coach Andy Enfield landed his first major ''recruit'' Wednesday when Tony Bland agreed to become an assistant coach on his staff.
Bland, formerly a well-regarded young assistant coach at San Diego State, reportedly will receive the title of associate head coach and a salary in excess of $300,000. Enfield previously hired Pepperdine assistant Jason Hart, and has one staff opening remaining.
Bland, San Diego State's top recruiter, told the Union-Tribune newspaper that Enfield offered him the job last Thursday and that he didn't reach a decision until several days later.
''That was the first time in a long time I came to tears,'' Bland told the newspaper. ''I woke up Monday morning, and I was going to stay at San Diego State. But in the end I had to sit back and take my emotions out of it, and think about it from a business standpoint.''
Bland, 33, was a standout player at Westchester High School (as was Hart), then played two seasons at Syracuse before he transferred to San Diego State. He served as a team captain for the Aztecs in 2002.
After a brief playing stint in Europe and in the NBA Developmental League, Bland served as a personal trainer for NBA forward Trevor Ariza, then moved into coaching. He started as San Diego State's head team manager in 2008-09 as he finished his degree.
Bland recently finished his second season as an assistant under Coach Steve Fisher -- the Aztecs' season ended with an NCAA Tournament loss to Enfield's Florida Gulf Coast team -- and Bland is well-regarded as a top West Coast recruiter.
USC has not yet announced the hiring of Bland or Hart, and will likely wait until Enfield's staff is complete.

Corporate Mergers and the Public Good
The United States of America, during the last years of the Nineteenth Century, witnessed a rash of corporate mergers. The Industrial Revolution had taken firm hold, and the nation was changing rapidly. Millions of Americans who had once been independent farmers or tradesmen now found themselves in the position of what some termed "wage slaves." At the mercy of their corporate employers, they worked long hours at low pay, and often under appalling conditions. The reasons for the merger mania of this period are many and complex, as are its effects upon the population as a whole. In breaking down the traditional vocational environment, the gigantic new conglomerates also transformed the entire social landscape. Work was no longer a family business shared by all generations. Communities no longer clung together for mutual protection and aid. Suddenly, the citizen of this new world was out on his own. He did what he was told and hoped for the best, though what was deemed the best often fell far short of what was desirable. The corporate juggernaut spawned its own adversaries, corporate greed feeding the new union movement as exploited workers fought for basic rights. More than any other time, the late Nineteenth Century was a time in which the modern world and all its social safety nets was formed. The seemingly unstoppable growth of the trusts and the conglomerates caused many to rethink the basic responsibilities of employers and government.
To begin with, the new conglomerates acted in much the same way as traditional employers. Like the old masters and farmers, they did not attempt to provide any special welfare services for their workers. Employers expanded their enterprises as they were able to do so. In this sense, the corporate merger represented a natural process of growth. Successful companies bought up other companies in order to expand into new markets and eliminate competition. As with the old, traditional-style family business, the new corporations could be a source of pride and social prestige. Yet Americans demonstrated an extraordinary willingness to sell out when the price was right. Unlike their counterparts in certain other countries, Germany for example, the original owners of a business saw nothing wrong with selling out and depriving their heirs of the opportunity to control what had been a family-run enterprise.
Though Germany's hospitable legal environment for collusive arrangements can be cited to account for the absence of a U.S.-style merger wave, it is imprudent to leave matters at this. Instead, other variables merit consideration. For instance, attitudes toward control perhaps had an impact. Allegedly, as compared with their counterparts in the U.S., industrialists in Germany were more reluctant to relinquish their independence and lose the identity of the firms they had founded. This was because they tended to have deeply -rooted historical ties to the firms providing their income and believed that having a family business provided the basis for their social status.
Given that the owners of the new corporations were increasingly inclined to view their enterprises, not as family business, but almost solely as money-making entities, it is no surprise that workers were increasingly perceived as parts of the manufacturing process rather than as human beings. Many industries relied increasingly on elaborate chemical processes and the employment of huge amounts of energy, usually steam:
The application of heat and involved chemical rather than mechanical methods, improved technology, a more intensified use of energy, and improved organization greatly expanded the speed of throughput and reduced the number of workers needed to produce a unit of output. Enlarged stills, superheated steam, and cracking techniques all brought high volume, large-batch, or continuous process production of products made from petroleum, sugar, animal and vegetable fats, and some chemicals, and in the distilling of alcohol and spirits and in the brewing of malt liquors. In the furnace industries better furnaces, converters, and rolling and finishing equipment, all of which required a more intensive use of energy, did much the same thing.
The typical industrial worker became subordinated to the means of production. Inherently unhealthy processes and conditions led to increased hardship. The factory worker in this period was exposed to hazard after hazard, and risked life and limb almost every day he went to work. The larger the corporation, the more likely it was, as well, that the factory owner would have little knowledge of the actual conditions under which his employees labored. To these owners, they would quickly become little more than figures on a balance sheet. Indeed this situation was exacerbated by the various economic criteria that created the "merger mania."
Low earnings, however, were also a function of the intense competition that occurred during the 1890s in industries that experienced consolidations ... profit rates on capital were on the average lower in consolidating industries than in the rest of the manufacturing sector in 1899
Sadly, these conditions were hardly confined to just a few companies. The companies that participated so readily in the "merger mania" were, in reality, quite dominant in their respective industries.
Brief as the merger movement was, it threatened to make radical changes in the competitive structure of American industry. All told, more than 1,800 firms disappeared into consolidations, many of which acquired substantial shares of the markets in which they operated. [In the case of] ninety-three [of these] consolidations ... seventy-two controlled at least forty percent of their industries and forty-two at least seventy percent. Even assuming that none of the remaining mergers achieved significant market power, this still means that more than half of the consolidations absorbed more than 40% of their industries, and nearly a third absorbed in excess of 70%.
As a result, few workers escaped the consequences -- good or bad -- of the merger movement. Where formerly, a variety of different owners fairly widely dispersed geographically had run their enterprise according to their own ideas of what constituted "good business practice," a small number of "business plans" now dominated. The new conglomerates could easily make decisions that affected tens of thousands of workers. Scholars of the period were well aware of the potential for abuse of workers' rights, and for the condemning of workers to labor under horrible and human conditions.
The apparent callousness towards the worker was a natural outgrowth of the entire merger movement. The aim of the merger was, as business decisions usually are, to save money. It is the view of Naomi Lamoreaux that the Merger Mania was set off by the unparalleled price wars that erupted in the late Nineteenth Century.
Hard-pressed to make their products as cheaply as possible, corporations sought all sorts of ways to keep these costs down. The merger movement represented an attempt to control an industry, much as a political and geographical empire might seek to assume large-scale control of markets, resources, and territories. The corporate bosses thought that, if they expanded horizontally i.e. If they controlled as much of their own industry as possible, they would then be able to fix the terms and conditions of production. The more capital-intensive the industry, the more likely it would fall prey to the merger mania. The following table reveals the formulae used to represent growth vs. capital investment:
Table 1
Capital Investment vs. Output
As companies expanded enormously in size, concern with costs became greater than ever before. Workers were under intense pressure to be as productive as possible. As "means of production" a company's employees had their abilities measured in terms of their cost to the corporation vs. their productive output. To the extent that technology itself could only do so much, workers were forced to put in long hours, in an attempt to "beat the clock" thereby keeping costs low and productivity correspondingly high.
Each motion of work was now measured in microscopic units and thus the relationship between labor and the physical environment was severed in consciousness. Instead workers were apparently dominated, not only by the machine, but also by the clock that suddenly appeared as an autonomous force of production. Internal time consciousness became a function of the industrial system, and punctuality in appearing for work was a requirement that, in highly "integrated and rationalized manufacturing processes, became even more fundamental than the possession of manual skills.
The gigantic monopolies became thus huge leveling agents. Working conditions were held to the lowest possible common denominator.
The transition from the small, family-owned and staffed, business, to the corporate giant spanning the better part of a given industry, led to significant organizational changes. In order to successfully integrate so many workers into the manufacturing process and in order to ensure that production was carried out as efficiently, and as cost-effectively as possible, a new organizational paradigm was required.
In iron and steel, as well as in industries not delayed by struggles with craft workers, the new model was of an army. A hierarchical structure was instituted, with foremen and supervisors to watch over other employees, and the entire enterprise assumed the shape…[continue]

What did go wrong? The simple answer is that is was probably a

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and corporate restructuring are a big part of the corporate finance world. Every day, Wall Street investment bankers arrange M&A transactions, which bring separate companies together to form larger ones.

Not surprisingly, these actions often make the news. Deals can be worth
Merger, Acquisition and International Strategies Mergers, Acquisitions and International Strategies A merger is a combination of two or more business entities with the aim of consolidating the resources that they have and creating a single entity with that.

- Permanent protection
- Affordable
- Flexible premiums
For those who want a permanent life insurance policy, but are concerned about being able to afford premiums, BrightLife® Protect may be an appropriate strategy.
BrightLife® Protect features a lower cost structure than many comparable life insurance products, making it one of the most affordable products currently on the market.
Permanent life insurance protection
BrightLife® Protect is a flexible universal life insurance policy that can grow with you, your family and/or your business. At every age, at every stage, it can provide the financial protection you need and the additional growth potential you may need to address a variety of objectives.
Not only does its lower-cost structure provide the affordable protection you need now, but its potential for cash accumulation may give you the opportunity to make your protection even more affordable over time. The No Lapse Guarantee Rider (NLG), which has no cost to the policy owner, guarantees that your policy will not terminate for the lesser of 15 years or the number years from issue to age 90 of the insured, or before a certain date if certain specified amounts of premium are paid and any policy loan plus accrued loan interest do not exceed the Cash Surrender Value.
Interest rate crediting
The interest rate that AXA Equitable credits to the Fixed Account is declared periodically. The interest rate that is credited to the Select Account is an index-linked interest option which is reflective of the performance of the S&P 500®*, subject to a cap and a 0% floor on performance.
Premium flexibility
Premium payments are flexible. After the initial payment, you can choose the amount and timing of your premium payments (subject to certain minimums and maximums).
Access to cash values1
You can access your cash surrender value, through loans and withdrawals, potentially free of current income tax as long as the policy stays in force until the Insured's death. A loan may be taken anytime after issue. There is a minimum loan amount of $500.
Death benefit options
BrightLife® Protect has two death benefit options:
- Option A – Level Death Benefit - is equal to the Face Amount of the policy
- Option B – Variable Death Benefit - is equal to the Face Amount plus the Policy Account Value
Under either option, a higher death benefit may apply if the value in the policy account reaches a certain level relative to the Face Amount. Changes to the death benefit option are available at no charge after the second policy year.
Choice of riders2
Depending on your current or anticipated future needs, you can tailor your BrightLife® Protect policy by taking advantage of a selection of policy riders that are available for an additional cost.

1 Under current federal tax rules, you generally may take income-tax-free partial withdrawals under a life insurance policy that is not a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), up to your basis in the contract. Additional amounts are includible in income. The IRS places a limit on how much money can go into life insurance premiums for the policy and how quickly such premiums can be paid in order for the policy to retain all of its tax benefits. If certain limits are exceeded, an MEC results. MEC policyholders may be subject to taxes on distributions on an income-first basis, that is, to the extent there is gain in the policy and penalties on any taxable amount if they are not 59½ or older. Loans taken will be free of current income tax as long as the policy remains in effect until the insured's death, does not lapse, and is not an MEC.
Please note that outstanding loans accrue interest. Income-tax-free treatment also assumes the loan will eventually be satisfied from income-tax-free death benefit proceeds. Loans and withdrawals reduce the policy's cash value and death benefit and increase the chance that the policy may lapse. If the policy lapses, is surrendered or becomes an MEC, the loan balance at such time would generally be viewed as distributed and taxable under the general rules for distribution of policy cash values. In addition, withdrawals, policy loans and any accrued loan interest may cause your policy to lapse even if you are in a period of coverage under the No Lapse Gurantee Rider. Speak to your financial professional before taking any withdrawals or policy loans.
2 All of the riders are subject to the terms and conditions of the rider. Not all riders may be available in all jurisdictions. Some states may vary the terms and conditions. There may be an additional charge associated with obtaining certain riders. Some riders may not be available in combination with other riders and/or policy features.

Major topics include: human mortality as a function of age, aging mechanisms and processes, the programmed vs. non-programmed aging controversy, empirical evidence on aging, and the feasibility of anti-aging and regenerative medicine.

I taught Grade 10 last year.
I participated and achieved awards in various Olympiads. I am majoring in Mathematics at UCT.
I did Additional Mathematics until grade 10 and I possess the required skills to teach high-school graders. Moreover,I majored in Maths in high school which makes it easier to tutor Additional Maths.
I was in the top Maths set in school and was invited by PWC for a potential bursary for placing top 1% Maths in KZN. I took Advanced Maths in school.
I am a Mathematics graduate from Wits and I have tutored in Midrand, Gauteng, for a year. For 2 years during vacation break, I tutored in Milnerton, Cape Town. I am currently an intern at UCT and in 2017 will pursue honours studies in Economics.
The curriculum may be somewhat different to what I covered in 1999 but my experience with university Maths hopefully gives me the skills to tutor Additional Maths at the school level.
I have A's in Odinary level and Advanced level Mathematics and I am currently pursuing studies in IT which is a Mathematics oriented field.
Taught up to Grade 10; diploma in mathematics and applied mathematics
I excelled in Advanced Level Mathematics and I can easily transfer this knowledge.

Sol Luna Tierraby Johannes Linstead
This is the stirring debut of one of the worldbeat-meets-new age world's top young acoustic guitarists. Johannes Linstead's gift of blending cool rhythms with spicy, lightning-fast flamenco improvisations is further explored on later albums, but his journey begins here on the fiery "Mountain Mist." While his guitar -- which blends the best of traditional and contemporary South American melodies and Latin rhythms -- is always the focus, he also enjoys sharing the spotlight on occasion. On that same track, he's content to move from lead melody to a rhythm role behind the dancing flute of Anja Arvo. Then he's working his magic over the rumbling percussion of Gino Mirizio. Mood and ambience are also an important part of Linstead's world, and he follows the frenetic pace of the opener and breezy "The Temple at Delphi" with the swaying romance of "Don Juan" and "Gypsy Rain." "Mi Angel" is perhaps the best example of the deep emotions Linstead can tap into when he's deep in the mode of dreaming and contemplation.

I have little tolerance for hearing anything over and over, with the exception of this album. Listening to it is good for the soul. It is great to listen to while driving because it keeps you alert and happy.
This is some great music to sit and watch the stars or to have in the background of a dinner party. Beautiful, energetic melodies let your mind drift with the rhythm and take you away. Really a great disc, I highly recommend it.

Discussion in 'iOS Jailbreak & Cydia' started by ddawg, Sep 23, 2010.
Hi Guys, how do i turn on the battery percentage feature in ios 4.1.
What iDevice? Jailbroken?
If your not jailbroken and you can jailbreak your device then you can jailbreak, activate battery percentage, backup, restore and restore from backup. Should work.
EDIT: This is only if you dont want to be jailbroken... you should be though if you can, its better.
If your jailbroken you can modify your .plist file. I forgot what exactly it is supposed to say tho. I think like gas-gauge-battery or something.
yeah. mines is 4.1 jb. i used snowbreeze ipt 2g mb
Is it an iPod 2G?
SSH and navigate to system/library/coreservices/springboard.app and edit the n45ap.plist (I think, have not used a 2G Touch in a while) and add
cool. thanks alot skyline
No prob. Any problem you can PM me.
Can you enable battery percentage on iPod Touch 4G?
I saw some thread that said if you have another iDevice with battery percentage activated and make a backup and restore to the backup on the iPT4 then it should work.
Separate names with a comma.

Widget the fidget is just a kitten. He is very handsome, with great markings and loves to purr the moment you touch him! What a great little boy! He was rescued with his 2 brothers, Hudson (listed separately) and Aiden (we will list him shortly!). They are all gorgeous and so different. Widget is the only tuxedo and I just love the stripe down his nose and his little white toes! You can hear him purr away in the video and he would be great in a home with another kitty or with one of his siblings!
Widget is neutered, tested negative for fiv/felv, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines and ready for his new home.
If you would like to meet him, please contact Claire at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you for your interest in a rescued angel. Every dime goes to saving the next rescued angel.

Stop me if you ve heard this one before: girl meets player, they fall in love, player changes his ways.
It s a good story. But it s not our story. Ours is a lot more colorful.
When I met Dee, I knew right away that she was special. When she met me, she thought I was anything "but" special I was exactly like every other guy who d screwed her over and let her down. It took some time to convince her otherwise, but it turns out I can make a convincing argument when sex is at stake.
You might know where this story s headed. But the best part isn't where we ended up.
It s how we got there."

Knowing that romance readers expect a happy ending, Chase tries to make the journey the best part of the third and final Tangled new adult romance (after Twisted), but that journey never gets off the ground. Investment banker Matthew Fisher enjoy strings-free hookups. When he meets absurdly hot chemist Dee Warren, it's lust at first sight. Things are going well until she shocks him by ending their sexual relationship. She is unlike any woman he's ever met, and he can't understand what's made her shy away. Minor ups and downs created by predictable reasons, such as Dee's fear of commitment, push the story to its inevitable conclusion. The straightforward writing and interesting characters capture attention, but a weak attempt at conflict fails to sizzle. Readers who missed the previous installments may feel slightly adrift.
