On an average weekday afternoon, among a crowd leaving a funeral or four weddings, the words, "Okay. See you on Facebook," are overheard. In the sea of faces it isn't evident where the voice originated but it is a reminder once more that Facebook is the dominant social network. They recently crossed the 250 million user mark. All of which means anyone out there predicting the death of Facebook in favor of Twitter is mainly dealing in highly exaggerated rumors.
Facebook is where you want to be if you are selling something but once you get out there, it's clear that marketing on this medium is different. Facebook is the opposite of say, a billboard. There is no relationship with a billboard, even the digital ones. Experts describe Facebook as relationship marketing where you need to friend first and sell later. But not directly or quickly, this is more of a long term relationship with sales being a somewhat covert activity. It is said that people may want to buy products but they don't want someone to sell them products, which can be such a confusing set of rules for the conventional marketing world.
Rather than "Go Big or Go Home," marketing on Facebook is more about going hyper-local and going often. Experts in this medium note that volume trumps reach. Market for birthdays, anniversaries and weddings. Market for interest areas like hiking, biking and scrapbooking. Though it isn't clear how much scrapbooking is conducted by Facebookers.
What matters is to connect to your customer base and stay in touch until something comes up and they remember your name. Still, you should not put all your eggs in the Facebook basket. Facebook is mostly a place to be present while keeping traditional marketing strategies in place – including that billboard. Ultimately, friending 250 million people can be wrong if they're not buying your stuff.

Callooh Callay
- 4 out of 5 stars
- 3 out of 5 stars
Time Out says
- 4 out of 5 stars
The menu is housed in an empty cassette case, the toilet is hidden behind a secret door in the wall and the cocktails have such cringe-o names as 'Ume? Yes You' and 'Fennel Countdown'. Sure, Callooh Callay sounds gimmicky, but the tipples at this long-established Shoreditch bar are the real deal.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable (no moody, 'I'm actually in a band' hipsters serve here) and mix delectable elixirs like vodka and rhubarb with vanilla shrub and whisky with apricot jam and chocolate bitters (just ignore the names). The exposed brick walls, Milk Tray-coloured soft furnishings and abundance of tealights make Callooh Callay a very cosy spot to sit. Neither trashy nor pretentious, the vibe here is fun but still stylish, and, unlike in neighbouring bars, you won't be surrounded by swarms of obnoxious suits or stag-dos.

I got well sauced on the free punch at the Callooh Callay Summer party a year or so ago and have been a little scared to show my face there ever since. But actually, I needn't have feared - the bar staff are lovely, even though when we ordered I did get a slightly worried look from one the bar staff who obviously recognised me ("Are you sure you would like to order that? 'You know...after last time?'). All I can say is, avoid the free punch at parties. But the bar is small and intimate, with an ever-changing award-winning cocktail list, and the Gnome fishbowl cocktail is a real crowd-pleaser. My aim in life is to get a gold key for the JubJub bar upstairs.
Most appalling service I have ever experienced. Floor staff lacked manners and were extremely rude all night. Overpriced poor quality cocktails from an inadequate staff. Do not bother.
Great range of cocktails and the drinks menu was presented in a cassette case. The front of the bar is always buzzing so book a place in the hidden back bar if you want something more chilled. I enjoyed walking though the closet door to get to the other bar and toilets. Worth a visit to see the little quirks and sample some of the cocktails.
We came here for drinks and giggles.... Though we got both I can't say it was the time of my life ... It felt a little over crowded for my tastes and a little loud... It could be the day I went but that's what I got.
Callooh Callay's reserved seating area is much calmer than the larger bar up front reserved for walk-ins, and it benefits from it. The music is low enough for you to hear the person sitting beside you, and the lighting atmospheric but practical. It's nice to find a table service bar in a bustling street full of clubs, and CC's cocktail menu is more innovative than most, offering up a sticker album for you to gradually complete as you order each drink. These are a fun idea and a good conversation starter, which is good as there's little else of note. The decor is a little tacky - think neon lights, geometric walls and palm trees. The drinks, meanwhile, were palatable, but nothing wowed and it's a shame you can't get a cocktail for under £10 a pop. But hey, I knew the prices before I arrived, and the service was attentive and friendly, so I can't really complain. I tell myself that it's worth the premium to not have to stand in a sweaty queue!
They've gamified cocktail drinking with a cocktail sticker book.. drinking gamification! The cocktails are a little pricey, so completing the sticker book may come at a significant financial cost! Apart from this novelty though, it's a really nice bar, thought the staff were incredibly friendly, music was great and the decor is good.
This place is perfect for a first date. Kind of dark, the music quiet enough to talk, and the novelty sticker book that you have to fill up adds a quirky element to the date. But be careful the cocktails are strong, after your 3rd you'll be needing some carbs to soak up the alcohol.
Going on a weekday helps you avoid the crowds, and unlike the rest of these reviews, the staff was really attentive and nice.
Go here if you want to feel like a hipster without really being one.
Pricy, but totally worth it. Intimate, quirky and a nice crowd. Great bar if you're looking for something slightly different in the Shoreditch scene.
First time coming here was for my friend's birthday, we had tables reserved next to the windows. Staff was attentive and accommodating. Cocktails are on the pricier side but they dont disappoint. The second part of the place, the one you get trough the wardrobe, is quite interesting and it calls for ''date spot'' label.
Callooh Callay is a great cocktail bar. Located in the heart of Shoreditch, it is much more sophisticated and interesting than the bars around it. It is a good place to begin your night, or even spend the night if you are lucky enough to book a table at the time you want it and through the wardrobe. You need to book way in advance to find a table there, especially if you're a big group. We had a great night and we all enjoyed ourselves. Cocktails are amazing and staff is really nice. It would be nicer if it was slightly darker, to get the speakeasy feeling, you know. Theme of the bar was that the menu was a sticker album and you would get a sticker for each cocktail you get. The target is obviously to collect all the stickers. The front bar is also good, the menu is in a cassette case! And the bathroom walls are full of old cassettes instead of tiles! Definitely a place you should try if you like cocktails ;)
Back in the day Callooh Callay was the best secret door, hidden bar in London. Unfortunately for CC, a lot of newer places have opened up offering better value for money and more interesting concepts and they havent bothered to update at all over the years. Such a shame as it used to be a great place. Hopefully they will think about doing a refurb and coming up with something new!
I booked a table in advance and went through the wardrobe (literally) to get to the sitting area. Quirky cocktail menu and cocktails, good music, funky decor, cheap and tasty food and friendly service.
For best service, book in advance and ask for a table behind the Narnia door! There are a couple more bars behind that door and they're a lot more comfortable with different cocktail and snack menus. Amazing decor, yummy cocktails and staff are really nice.
This place is always good fun and the cocktails are delicious. The half bathtub seats are brilliant and if you're lucky you might get to go to the bar upstairs which is a little more decadent with slightly more comfortable seating along with a more bespoke service at the bar. Definitely worth booking if you can for this place as the guys on the door can get a little arsey when it's busy.
The menu was cool and quirky - you'll see when you go. The cocktails were pretty weird though. There were no normal cocktails, so you had to try something new. Mine had marmite in it. I love marmite. Like actually love marmite. I wasn't a fan of the cocktail.
Lesson learnt - marmite = tequila is not nice.
Always a fan of a speakeasy, secret bar. Especially one where you walk through the Narnia cupboard to get there. Top points for that, and the drinks were good too. I enjoyed the menus being in oyster card holders. It feels quirky and fun here and the staff were friendly.
Random aside: when I got through the cupboard, I couldn't help but feel a little underwhelmed. The decor sort of felt like Abacus (naff nasty nightclub in the city) which I frequented in my late teens. However, that may just be my own twisted self/high standards nonsense. You'll like the cocktails. So go.
Quirky décor and great atmosphere, especially through the back if you have booked a table, which I would recommend as it does get very busy Thursday-Sunday. Staff are great and happy to recommend cocktails if you are not sure what to have! It is a little pricey but for the location and service it is definitely well worth it
Very trendy place right off the street. The decoration is very cool, and the drinks even cooler. The staff are bubbly and nice. Serving Walter to you as you drink your cocktails. Good place to go for a post or pre meal drink. The cocktails are a little pricy at £9.50 but more than worth it!!!
Visited on a thursday evening at around 8pm.... So perhaps It wasn't as busy as It could have been but from reading the previous reviews I am quite shocked, bar staff were really helpful and pleasant. Great decor. Great Cocktails. Winner
I really love this place. It does get packed out, so it's best to book a table - through the wardrobe if you're lucky. Great for dates, if a little awkward if you end up perching on sofas. Fantastic cocktails, though I've had some duff ones here which knocks a star off. Whisky and cherry and plum brandy is an inspired combo, but I've had a couple that tasted bland, or actively awful. The menu is always huge and thoughtful - once a Pantone colour booklet, once a school yearbook. It gets really buzzy on weekend nights, but still more of a cocktail bar than a meeting people place.
Sophisicated cocktails and quirky surroudings - I am a huge fan of their themed bar upstairs, changing montlhy. You can expect anything form a Floridita style daiquiri galore to boozy take on Willy Wonka's paradise. A must-visit for any cocktail aficionado.
I thought the decor was fun and the staff were friendly and helpful - my glass of water replenished often. However the food was a real let-down - the mini burgers had stale bread and the filling was mean, chicken wings ordered by friends left uneaten - all who ordered food felt ripped off. Follow up email to ask about our night didn't compensate or apologise for this which would have been a good move. However, I'd go again - with a full stomach.
I took a few dates here in 2012. Had heard and read great things. I reckon it's worth trying out once, but given the vast number of alternative speakeasy, chic, dimly lit, better staffed options I say why waste your time. I'd booked a table only to receive some flat, cocky remark about my name (not actually bronco billy) when I showed up. Slow service, relatively cramped front room. All the action seemed to be taking place in the back bar behind the curtain - but not sure if that' still the private members area.
Went for my fiancees birthday and was welcomed with a very rude greeting from the doorman. We had a seat booked in the tequila bar, a windowless cramped room which was empty of people and atmosphere. Cocktails were very ordinary for a place which boasts to be 'one of the best in london' someone must have been high when they wrote that review for one of the leading papers. would not go back.
I went there for my birthday and booked a table in the VIP area. My friends bought a cake. I wasn't allowed to eat it there due to health and safety reasons! The manager and staff were far from helpful and quite frankly pretentious. I would NOT recommend this bar to anyone, rude and above their station!
Lovely decor. cool idea but staff are incompetent and rude, not to mention short changing me. I complained. bar manager accused me of lying. never ever will I go back and neither should u visit!!!
I don't understand why customer service is still so appalling in some places in London. Rude staff who are so far up their own bottoms that they can't accommodate you with a simple drink. I just don't understand the point of making your customers feel tiny. Disappointed. Go somewhere with more class, these people need lessons in basic manners.
Bar is so magical u might feel like in little wonderland..coctails are awsome and staff is actually very nice and friendly.. its worth to go there!
avoid this place like the plague, only go if you enjoy being treated badly by the most pretentious people in the world.
I went to this place a couple of times, trusting TO reviews when it first opened. In both cases I was received by pretentious staff into an even more pretentious bar. I guess that it ticks all the boxes of TO reviewers - "quirky" atmosphere, young pretentious barmans, people wanted to be seen and theme-based. There are a hundred more interesting places to check before venturing in this posh average cocktail bar.
The cocktails here are just fabulous and the list is really very interesting! I heard they have been nominated for best cocktail list in the world amongst a handful of others from London, New York and Sydney and that doesn't surprise me. Don't be scared to ask for a classic though, my Hemingway arrives perfect every time! Weekdays are best as this area turns into Shoreditch-on-sea come Saturday night...
The bar itself is nice. The smoking area and toilets are cool (With the cassette tapes on the wall) And too be honest that's as good as it gets. This whole idea of entering to the next bar/seating area through a wardrobe is a total hype! Its just a normal door... you just walk through...with a wardrobe type exterior. The reason why i give this bar 1 star is ALL due to the customer service and the rudeness of the staff. Pushing past customers, passive aggressively telling you to move (no please or thank you), making you wait for tables you have booked, very unaccommodating. Tried to ruin my birthday as i had 2 extra people with my party and wouldn't give us ONE extra chair.
My girlfriend organised an event here last week and everything was great, from the organisation to the food and drink, service and music. Thankyou!
Far too busy with a 45 minute wait for drinks. Difficult to find a place to stand let alone breathe. Guess they are packing in the customers at the cost of poor service. Shame shame
Two stars for a midweek visit. The cocktails are great. No stars for the weekend, at which point the place becomes a shambles. Still, judging by how rammed it is on a Friday or Saturday night, the majority of the crowd don't mind waiting half an hour for a drink, stepping over eggshells around their precious staff, or not being able to stand anywhere without being in someone's way because the place is so overcrowded. I don't know whether they're aiming for an inclusive or exclusive atmosphere but they fall wide of the mark in either direction here.
Love this place. The decor is cool but for me it's about the staff and the drinks. I prefer to go early week when it's not packed. Pull up a stool, chat the the bartenders and have a good drink.
Attended a friend's birthday in the back bar here a while ago, and it was laughably bad. We were told not to go to the bar in the front, but to rely on the waiter service; this was so slow that it meant about an hour between rounds. The "eclectic" furniture was placed uselessly facing nothing; when we tried to move it so we could actually talk to each other while seated, we were told not to; everything was just the way the owners liked it, and who were we mere customers to argue? So we all stood around barely drinking, admiring the furniture instead. Who needs to sit, when you could be looking at half a bath with a cushion in it? A bath, I tell you! Zany. Then at around 10pm, we were all told to leave, as the "second sitting" were expected soon. I've never encountered anything as preposterous as sittings at a bar before; I can only presume it's a vain attempt to manufacture exclusivity, or maybe it was just to rub in our faces the fact that we had not, in fact, ever actually sat. Maybe they just want as many people to see their bath as possible. Either way, I've rarely been as glad to get kicked out of a venue. Avoid.
Nice decor and some fun ideas but has gotten really pretentious. The bar can be totally empty and the guy with the clipboard will tell you all the tables are reserved. Which they have been and will later be full of hen do's or the type of people that put a schedule together for their big night out. The cocktails are ok but you can get much better in nearby places that have a better atmosphere and are friendly.
I can't praise this place highly enough. I had arranged birthday drinks, but more people came than I'd expected. Yet the staff went out of their way to accommodate us without too much fuss, even though it was a busy Friday night. In general, the service was faultless from start to finish, very friendly and attentive. The cocktails were inventive and delicious, bar snacks disappeared within minutes they were so tasty and the general ambiance was relaxed, stylish but without pretension. I would definitely return to Calloo Callay, although next time I'll make sure I book for the right number so as to give the lovely staff an easier time of it! Highly recommended.
Went to CC last night and had a fantastic evening. We were greeting with a big smile upon entering, and shown to a cosy table in the corner. We soon realised we were sitting on an old bath, chopped in half. Beautiful sequined cushions ensured it was perfectly comfortable though, and the exciting décor made the evening all the more enjoyable. The staff were superb, giving us plenty of time to select our cocktails, which were all very tasty - I recommend the popcorn and cola! We stayed for hours and had, by the end, sampled most of the cocktails on the menu! The table service was great, but it is well worth while going up to the bar to see your cocktails being made - it is captivating stuff. My favourite cocktail bar in London right now.
This isn't a bar for everyone. The cocktails cost more than they do down the road, but they taste beter. You have to pay for service, cos it's worth it to be doted on. No one has ever been rude to me at Callooh Callay but then I always call ahead, and am never drunk or demanding.
I used to be a regular here, no more. If your lucky enough not to be harassed by the door staff, I'm sure the person with the his clipboard will do it for you. The lighting, music and drinks are average, come on guys. I will be back as I have had many a good night here, I hope it improves.

By Leslie Pugmire Hole The Bulletin of Bend
ANTELOPE, Ore. — In September 1984, residents in the sleepy ranching community of Antelope headed to the only public building in town for a vote that ended with the town rechristened "Rajneesh."
That building, the local school, was also seized in the election dominated by followers from a nearby commune of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, an East Indian guru who in the early 1980s brought some 7,000 followers to a ranch in Antelope and made power grabs to establish the commune in the area.
The school recently was identified as one of Oregon's most endangered historic places.
"There's a lot of potential there; it's still structurally sound, but the maintenance over the years has been minimal," longtime Antelope resident John Silvertooth said.
Silvertooth and a small group of devotees nominated the school for the designation, given by the nonprofit Historic Preservation League of Oregon. HPLO started the endangered list in 2010, choosing 10 sites a year and assisting each with mentorship and sometimes grants. Other sites on the 2013 endangered list include a dirigible hanger in Tillamook, a former Chinatown site in The Dalles and a shipbuilding site in Astoria, among others.
"Our purpose with the list is not to point fingers but to be a positive thing, putting a spotlight on the site and helping to rally resources," HPLO executive director Peggy Moretti said.
Antelope School is considered historically significant for several reasons.
It was constructed in 1924 to replace a school that burned down. In its heyday, the school served 30 to 50 children in its two classrooms and was the site for any large community event. The school's population dwindled along with the town, which today numbers just over 40, but the building remained important to the community.
"When the Rajneeshees took over, a lot of people pulled their kids out of school and some moved away," recalled Silvertooth, whose mother attended Antelope School soon after its construction. "Then, when (the Rajneeshees) left town, there was no school board anymore, and it was all absorbed into the Jefferson County School District."
The school was shuttered and sat empty until the city offered to take it off the hands of the district. The building was reopened and "city hall" (there is no paid staff) was moved into the classrooms. City Council meetings and other public gatherings are still held at the school.
"There's a gym, a kitchen, two classrooms and … ADA bathrooms," Antelope resident Barbara Beasley said. "The interior is in pretty good shape, but the exterior is slowly crumbling — someone needs to catch it before it falls."
HPLO doesn't fund restorations of historic sites but merely works with supporters to find workable solutions to save them.
"We've given out $27,000 in grants since we started this program," Moretti said. "People want to be on the list now; they see that it can mean getting on the road to rehab. They can leverage the listing to get the projects moving."
First on the list for Antelope School is completion of a Historic Structures Report, precursor to an application for National Register of Historic Places designation.
A Redmond site named to the endangered list in 2010, Petersen Rock Garden, has completed its application, which will be reviewed by the state committee next week. Moretti said she has no concerns about the rock garden being refused listing on the national registry. Where it goes from there is up to the owners.
"There is very little grant money available for privately owned commercial sites, but there are some tax credits," she added. "If they come to us, we'd be happy to help with advice and direction."
Developing a marketing plan that can make historic sites self-sufficient can be a critical piece, according to Moretti.
"In general, the more you can adapt a site for revenue generation, the better off you'll be."

"Though these products came from India, Indonesia and China, the spice trade had always been controlled by Arabs, who spun ludicrous tales about the origins of their wares to throw gullible Europeans off the scent as to the true source. To some extent, this Arab monopoly was circumvented by a land route to the East, controlled by Mongols. Once the Muslim powers cut off this route, marked by the fall of Constantinople in 1453, Europeans had either to accept the Muslim monopoly or find a new route to the East. The result was an explosion of exploration." (Thanks D.)

Reducing excess belly fat lowers your risk for various medical conditions. MayoClinic.com states that belly fat increases your risk for medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, certain cancers and stroke. Additionally, slimming down your tummy can improve your appearance and boost your self-confidence and self-esteem. Use a healthy diet, exercise regularly and use relaxation techniques to reduce fat from your belly. If you have a medical condition, get your doctor's approval beforehand.
Spot-Reduction and Calories
You may think that just focusing on abdominal exercises is going to reduce your belly fat. This is not true. Spot-reducing fat isn't possible unless liposuction is an option. To reduce fat from one area, aim to reduce fat from your entire body through diet and exercise. When your body fat reduces, your belly fat is included. Create a daily deficit of 500 or 1,000 calories so you lose 1 or 2 pounds per week. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that losing weight at this rate makes you less likely to gain it back.
Instead of drastically reducing calories or eliminating entire food groups from your diet, make gradual changes that won't make you feel deprived. Reduce your portion sizes and replace high-calorie foods with low-calorie foods. Read food labels to determine nutritional contents and avoid excessive sugar and fat. Consume fruits, vegetables, lean protein and low-fat dairy, and focus on complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice and oatmeal, instead of simple carbohydrates, such as white rice and bread made with white flour.
Aerobic Training
For effective weight loss, complete one hour of cardio on five days a week, as suggested by the CDC. Start with 10 or 20 minutes of cardio three days a week, and gradually lengthen this as your endurance increases. Maintain an exercise intensity that allows you to talk, but not sing. To burn calories, go jogging, take an aerobics class, ride a bike or use a stair climber or elliptical machine.
Strength Training
On a minimum of two nonconsecutive days, perform strength-training exercises that target all the major muscle groups. For the most benefits, the CDC suggests performing two to three sets of eight to 12 repetitions of each exercise. Use weights heavy enough so the last repetition of each set is challenging. Include abdominal exercises, such as situps and crunches, in your strength-training routine. These strengthen your abdominals; when the fat reduces, your tummy will appear toned.
Remain calm and relaxed while trying to whittle away belly fat. When you're stressed, your body's cortisol production increases. According to Dr. Marilyn Glenville, Ph.D., founder of The Natural Health Website For Women, cortisol increases your appetite for unhealthy fare. Glenville states that the fat you gain settles around your middle so it's near the liver, where if needed, it's quickly converted to energy. Get enough sleep, delegate responsibilities and practice deep breathing, yoga or meditation to remain calm and stress-free.

Great write up, looking forward to seeing more of your stuff
Seatin - I made it through 90% of the "Working As Intended" vid before deciding I was thirsty and would continue to drink my tea. I was wrong to do that, and now my nostrils are tea-ified, and my forward key is broken.
Thank you so much ^_^

On the topic of Warrior issues and current news, RaidLock did another episode today entitled 'Who Tested This ****'
It's got a bit on SL progression, a bit on Warrior DPS and a lot on Warrior tanking.
Apparently they couldn't find anyone better so Roughraptors pulled me in as a last minute special guest.
If you missed the stream it should be available at twitch.tv/raidlockrift
Apparently it's going to be uploaded to Itunes and a few other places, but I don't know what the deal is with that.
I watched that stream, Primal. Twitch follower.
Thanks for being a voice of sanity for Warrior tanks. I read your posts on off. forums.
You forgot to mention no customer support in the EU, must have had at least half a dozen guildies ticket various broken quest, and no replies for 6 days lol
I know that american mormon festival happened but, doesn't Rift have any EU support during this period, it sure feels like its missing.
Elrar commented on the slow CS, its because of all the new players and SL and shizz, he said along the lines of, stop updating your tickets because it will take them longer to get answered and like its gonna be about 6 days till its answered. My guess is they cant cope :s normally they are the best customer service team i have ever seen in my life. i'm going to let them have this one to be fair.
Logic: If you guildies have broken quest and submitted tickets ok. Now take the entire Rift player base and have them submit tickets for the same broken quest. Do you see why they wait for hot fixes and move to the next ticket?
Although yes I do admit a "we are looking into this reply" would be better then nothing.
And with the return of old players, some of whom haven't played since patch 1.1 or 1.3, who knows how many tickets are being filed for silly things that are understood by the regular players. hello, I'm level 23 and my planar attunement isn't working. I read all about it, but i've been out of the game for the last year or so. Why isn't my PA working? please help me fix this ASAP!!!!

Recently Ubisoft's Uplay platform posted some PC system requirements for DICE's Battlefield 4, however they appear suspiciously Battlefield 3 in flavour, albeit with a few tweaks. They don't even match the BF4 alpha. EA Origin producer 'Redditor Offspring' has dismissed the requirements saying DICE is yet to finalise them. A tell-tale sign these aren't genuine is the lack of Windows 8. Even the alpha system requirements for Battlefield 4 mentioned the new Windows OS, which wasn't supported at the time. Ubisoft appears to have removed the posting. "I don't believe the final system requirements have been decided yet, and this looks a lot like placeholder system requirements from BF3 with a couple of tweaks," said EA employee 'Redditor Offspring'. "I know everyone's excited for BF4 news, but I wouldn't trust an Ubisoft page with system requirements for it just yet." Ubisoft's listed Battlefield 4 requirements: Minimum OS: Windows Vista (Service Pack 1) 32-bit Processor: Processor: 2 GHz Dual Core (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or Althon X2 2.7 GHz) Memory: 2 GB System RAM Hard Drive: 20 GB Video Card:DirectX 10.1 compatible with 512 MB RAM Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible Recommended OS: Windows 7 64-bit Processor: Quad-core CPU Memory: 4 GB Hard Drive: 20 GB Video Card: DirectX 11 compatible with 1024 MB RAM (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 or ATI Radeon 6950) Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible Official Battlefield 4 alpha requirements: OS: Vista SP2, Win7 (Win8 not supported) 64 bit (32 bit not supported) Dx10 or Dx 11 GPU with 1+GB of RAM, Dx 11 highly recommended 25GB HDD free space required Latest Origin version required Official Battlefield 3 requirements: Minimum OS: Windows Vista or Windows 7 Processor: Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or Althon X2 2.7 GHz RAM: 2GB Graphic card: DirectX 10 or 11 compatible Nvidia or AMD ATI card, ATI Radeon 3870 or higher, Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT or higher.

Since 1990, I've helped equip church leaders throughout Latin America, Africa and Asia. Tucked away in needy nations I've discovered some of the greatest servants of Christ to be found anywhere.
Their names are not familiar to most of us. They don't have high-profile, strongly financed ministries. These hidden heroes often live in countries ravaged by relentless poverty. Most of them are poorly trained and poorly resourced. Yet their dignity in Christ, their grace under trial and their perseverance in struggles place these "frontline shepherds" among the church's most outstanding leaders.
I go to equip and encourage them, but I always end up receiving so much. Paul expressed this dynamic when he told the Romans he wanted to see them so "that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith" (Rom. 1:11-12, NIV). Here are some crucial lessons I'm learning from God's servant-leaders on the frontlines of the church's global advance:
Frontline shepherds remind me that evangelism should permeate all aspects of ministry. One African pastor lamented to me, "I fear we're becoming too Westernized; we're losing our evangelistic edge." Developing-nation pastors view any ministry that does not result in people coming to Christ as superfluous. They are committed to the Great Commission. Like the first Christian believers, they "went out."
Frontline shepherds model obedience. They implicitly obey the Lord and quickly put into practice what they learn at our conferences. They know that obedience to God's Word and the Spirit's directives is imperative for fruitfulness in life and ministry.
Frontline shepherds show a great love for God. They go with the gospel "for the sake of His name." These hidden heroes recalibrate us to a pure love for Jesus and a passion for His global glory. Out of that love springs the motivation to serve Him and others joyfully.
Frontline shepherds teach me simplicity. Like early Christians, they take nothing from unbelievers. They rely on the support of fellow Jesus-followers for their sustenance and funding. Although they have minimal finances, they are grateful, resourceful and fruitful. They do so much with so little.
Frontline shepherds exhibit great courage. I've met men and women in developing nations whose stories of valor read like an addendum to Hebrews 11. Most of their courageous acts will only be told fully in heaven.
Frontline shepherds exercise great faith. Our brothers and sisters in destitute nations have learned to live with undiluted faith in God's promises. Faith is one of the greatest criterions for spiritual leadership and leaders in underserved nations have it in abundance.
Frontline shepherds are teachable. They are profoundly grateful for any training they receive. I never encounter an "I deserve this" attitude. These servant-leaders are hungry to learn and they ingest the few resources they have.
Frontline shepherds model tenacity. Their ruthless pursuit of God and their willingness to fight for the vision of the kingdom challenge me. These hidden heroes just keep pressing on until their faith is made sight.
Frontline shepherds expect signs and wonders. They fully expect Him to show up in power and glory when they gather in His name. They know the anointing of the Holy Spirit makes all the difference.
Frontline shepherds exhibit a willingness to suffer for Christ and the gospel. Martyrdom isn't an ivory tower topic—it's an ever-present potential. They have heeded Paul's admonition to endure hardship as good soldiers of Jesus Christ.
Frontline shepherds teach me about lordship. They know what it means to live as a slave to Christ. Our history of freedom can sometimes impede our understanding of what it means to live under the absolute lordship of God.
The entire church has much to learn from these servant-leaders in underserved nations. Personally, my life has been forever changed by them.
David Shibley is president of Global Advance, a ministry that has provided on-site training for more than 325,000 church and business leaders in 74 nations. His latest book, Living as if Heaven Matters (Charisma House), releases this October.

T56 reverse lock-out solution. I finally found a good solution to the reverse lock-out solenoid. For those with a VSS that is. It is relatively new and not widely known about yet. I ordered one this morning: VSS/OSS Reverse Lockout Unit I have mine hooked up to the brake switch now and don't think that is the best way of doing it. Not only does it kick the solenoid every time you hit the brakes, it is still possible for the shifter to go to the right when braking and downshifting from 6th to 5th. I never thought the latter would be a problem but after driving my car some, I see where you could do it if you weren't paying close attention to the way you have your hand on the shifter and pushing when doing that shift. This thing is just a better way to go. |

2x200g sea bass fillets
1 carrot
Half a leek
20g root ginger
2 teaspoons olive oil
Half a fennel bulb
500ml fish stock
Zest of half a lemon
2 spring onions, chopped
Salt and pepper
To prepare the fish and vegetables, remove the skin from the sea bass fillets. Peel the carrot and cut into julienne strips. Remove the outer layers of the leek and cut into fine strips. Peel the ginger (keep the skin for the stock) and cut into fine strips. Saute the ginger in a teapoon of olive oil, add the carrots and leek and cook for three to four minutes. Season to taste and set aside.
For the fennel stock, heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a saucepan. Chop the fennel finely and saute together with the skin of the ginger. Pour in the fish stock to cover the fennel and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside so the stock can infuse for 20 minutes. Pass it through a fine sieve, keeping the liquid but discarding the vegetables.
For the papillotes, preheat the oven to 180c/gas mark 4. Cut a circle of greaseproof paper measuring about 20cm in diameter and place it on an A3-sized piece of aluminium foil. Place half the leek and ginger mixture in the centre of the greaseproof circle. Add a sea bass fillet and top with some lemon zest, spring onion, salt and pepper. Pour 100ml of the fennel fish stock onto the sea bass. Place another sheet of foil on top of the sea bass and fold in the edges to make a tightly sealed parcel. Make the other parcel the same way. If making this dish for four, put two pieces of fish in a parcel.
Put the papillotes in an ovenproof pan and heat on the stove until parcels start to expand. Cook in the preheated oven for five minutes.
Make sure everyone is seated at the table when you take the papillotes out of the oven. They will only stay puffed up for about a minute before they deflate, so bring them to the table for everyone to see and serve straight away. Open the papillotes with a sharp knife and use a spatula to serve the fish and vegetables onto warm plates. Pour over the juices.
From 'From Nature To Plate' by Tom Kitchin, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, £30

Effectiveness of Computer Assisted Training for Older People With Vestibular Dysfunction
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted

- How to Read a Study Record
BACKGROUND A Cochrane review from 2003 found that about 30% of people 65 years or older each year fall and that number is even higher for elder people living in institutions. Falls are the cause of 95% of all hip fractures, resulting in prolonged hospitalization and prolonged disability. In patients who are referred to the emergency room after unexplained fall, a study of 564 patients showed that 80% of the patients had vestibular symptoms characterized by balance problems, nausea, impairment, vomiting, and dizziness. 41% of the patients had dizziness suggesting a dysfunctional vestibular system called vestibular dysfunction. In patients with vestibular dysfunction, vestibular rehabilitation (VR) can reduce fall risk. Several studies show however that the elderly has a decreased compliance in relation to the performance of home exercise.
A solution to support the older vestibular rehabilitation process and to maintain the achieved level of functionality after the rehabilitation process is the computer-training program "Move It To Improve It" (MITII). Based on individual studies and tests therapists develop a personalized rehabilitation program permanently corrected, modified and adjusted. The system generates feedback to the therapists at hospital with information about the person's daily training and scores of individual exercises. The Web cam makes it possible to make video footage and pictures to be used in the feedback information. The system also establish direct communication between users and therapists. The web community provide the framework for a telerehabilitation system, which means that the hospital can service more users in the same period.
The ph.d. consist of three studies which has the purposes:
To compare a computer exercise program (Mitii) with conservative home-training according to printed instructions in the rehabilitation of patients with vistibular dysfunction in an outpatient clinic To investigate whether the effect of vestibular rehabilitation is preserved three months after the completion of supervised training in an outpatient clinic for specific vestibular rehabilitation and whether a computer assisted home training program (Mitii) is superior to printed instructions in this respect To evaluate patient experience and barriers for the use fo the computer assisted rehabilitation of patients with vestibular dysfunction

Hickory Dickory Dock
"Hickory Dickory Dock" | |
Illustration by William Wallace Denslow, from a 1901 Mother Goose collection
Nursery rhyme | |
Published | c. 1744 |
"Hickory Dickory Dock" or "Hickety Dickety Dock" is a popular English nursery rhyme. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 6489.
The most common modern version is:
Hickory, dickory, dock.
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock.[1]
Other variants include "down the mouse ran"[2] or "down the mouse run"[3] or "and down he ran" in place of "the mouse ran down".
Origins and meaning[edit]
The earliest recorded version of the rhyme is in Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book, published in London in about 1744, which uses the opening line: 'Hickere, Dickere Dock'.[1] The next recorded version in Mother Goose's Melody (c. 1765), uses 'Dickery, Dickery Dock'.[1]
The rhyme is thought by some commentators to have originated as a counting-out rhyme.[1] Westmorland shepherds in the nineteenth century used the numbers Hevera (8), Devera (9) and Dick (10).[1]
The rhyme is thought to have been based on the astronomical clock at Exeter Cathedral. The clock has a small hole in the door below the face for the resident cat to hunt mice.[4]

Lumbosacral stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal at the junction of the lower (or lumbar) spine and the pelvis (or sacrum).
The narrowing of the spinal canal results in the compression of and damage to the nerve roots and blood vessels in that region. The actual spinal cord ends in the lumbar spine, well above the lumbosacral junction, so lumbosacral stenosis doesn't directly affect the spine. Instead, it affects the nerves that come from the spine and pass through the area, including the sciatic, pelvic, and pudendal nerves.
Lumbosacral stenosis is usually an acquired condition, occurring in middle-aged to older pets. Congenital cases also rarely occur. Breeds that are predisposed to lumbosacral stenosis include German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Boxers, English Springer Spaniels, Great Danes, Irish Setters, and Airedales. Small dogs and cats can also be affected, though it is much rarer in these pets.
Signs of lumbosacral stenosis are slowly progressive. Pets may have trouble rising or be reluctant to jump and play. They may stumble with their rear limbs and wag their tails less. These early signs are easily confused with other conditions, such as arthritis or degenerative myelopathy. As the compression continues, weakness will worsen and progress to include fecal and urinary incontinence.
Lumbosacral stenosis is often diagnosed presumptively instead of definitively. Your veterinarian will take into account your pet's history, breed, clinical signs and the results of her physical and neurologic exam findings and may offer a diagnosis of lumbosacral stenosis based on that. Even with X-rays, lumbosacral stenosis can be difficult to diagnose, and further imaging, such as an MRI or CT scan, may be needed for a definite diagnosis.
The treatment of lumbosacral stenosis varies from conservative medical therapy to surgical intervention, depending on the severity of disease. Mild, intermittent pain can be treated conservatively with four to six weeks of rest and pain management, including the use of anti-inflammatories or steroids and other pain medications.
Surgical management should be considered for pets with neurologic deficits, severe pain, and when medical therapies have failed. The type of surgical correction performed will depend on the patient as well as the surgeon's preference.
Pets with mild signs have a good chance of recovery with rest and pain medications, though some of these patients will eventually need surgery. Pets have a fair to good recovery rate when surgical intervention occurs before significant neurologic signs develop, but recovery rates drop significantly if fecal and urinary incontinence have already occurred.
It's a given that aging pets will inevitably slow down in their later years, but if your pet is showing signs of lumbosacral stenosis, make an appointment with your veterinarian. The last thing you want is for your pet to be in pain, and your veterinarian can address these needs as well as set up a referral if surgical intervention is needed.

New Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish has held a "positive" meeting with a number of the club's supporters.
McLeish has come under fire from a section of Villa fans unhappy at him being appointed as Gerard Houllier's successor due to his time as manager of bitter city rivals Birmingham.
But he is determined to tackle the issue and this lunchtime half a dozen prominent Villa followers spoke with him at the club's Bodymoor Heath training ground.
McLeish outlined his plans for the club and listened to any issues the group wanted raise in a meeting lasting more than an hour. Jonathan Fear, editor of the Vital Villa fans' website, said: "It was a good positive, open meeting and I don't think anyone left with long faces."
He added: "Some people might look at this as a cynical PR exercise but Alex McLeish wanted to meet some of the fans and put his points across and listen to what people had to say.
"He asked for the meeting and he is going to ask for more fans' forums.
"We all asked everything we felt was relevant and he answered it and wanted to be open and honest.
"He could have hidden away and it would have been easier not to front up to things."
Fear believes it is time for everyone to pull in the right direction at Villa.
He said: "The whole club needs it. Everyone has had their opinions and now everyone should support the club.
"Let everyone give the manager the chance to show what he can do. He deserves that."

my mobile moodle theme related issue
Category: Moodle
why my mobile theme is working on andriod phone but it is not working on windows phone.?
is this this is designed for android , ios only are any other problem related to java script?
is this this is designed for android , ios only are any other problem related to java script?
Hello shashi, and thanks for the question. If you have already decided to change the default Moodle theme, did you also set a mobile one as well? It would depend on the theme you're using as to why it might not be working on a Windows phone. More than likely it'd be related to the CSS or JavaScript that the theme uses, and unfortunately you'd either have to figure out what's causing the problems for the Windows phone and edit the code manually for the theme, or try to find a theme that is already Windows phone ready. I'd probably recommend asking around on a Windows phone specific development forum, or possibly a Moodle forum as well to see if anyone has any clearer insights on the exact reasons why the mobile theme doesn't work correctly. Please let us know if you have any other questions! - Jacob |

Don't Get Burned By Thanksgiving Fire Hazards
Thanksgiving Day is the busiest day of the year for fire departments.
More property damage and lives are lost in residential structure fires on Thanksgiving Day than any other day of the year. The increase applies mostly to cooking fires in family homes. An estimated 2,000 Thanksgiving Day fires in residential buildings are reported to U.S. fire department each year and cause an estimated average of 5 deaths, 25 injuries, and $121 million in property loss. Over the last several years, turkey fryer fires have contributed significantly to the increase in cooking fires. The use of turkey fryers by consumers can lead to devastating burns, other injuries, and destruction of property. The following safe cooking tips can help to make your holiday safer:
- Always use cooking equipment tested and approved by a recognized testing facility.
- Stay in the kitchen when you are frying or grilling food. If you leave the kitchen, turn off the stove.
- Keep anything that can catch fire–potholders, towels, or curtains away from the stovetop.
- Have a "kid-free zone" of at least three feet around the stove.
- Wear short, close fitting or tightly rolled sleeves when cooking.
- Always keep an oven mitt and lid nearby when cooking.
- When placing the turkey into the oven or turkey fryer, be extremely careful.
If having a fried turkey is a must for Thanksgiving, consider purchasing a fried, cooked turkey from a commercial source. Supermarkets and restaurants accept orders for fried turkeys during the holiday season.

The mercury-containing vaccine additive thimerosal is not a primary cause of autism, says a study published yesterday in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
High doses of thimerosal were used throughout the 1990's in infant vaccines before being largely removed from U.S. supplies in 1999. Mercury is a potent neurotoxin, and some people have blamed it for the dramatic, tragic rise of autism in the United States.
Yesterday's study, authored by California Department of Public Health researchers Robert Schechter and Judith Grether, used California Department of Developmental Services data to track rates of autism diagnoses since thimerosal's removal. If thimerosal was responsible for the autism epidemic, there would ostensibly have been a drop in diagnoses in children born after the 1999 removal — but that's not what they saw. The numbers continued to rise.
The CDDS data is considered a gold standard for autism epidemiology, and the study is more convincing than a CDC study published in September. It may be the most conclusive argument yet that thimerosal and autism are not strongly, or even moderately, connected.
However, that isn't reason to consider the investigation a waste of time prompted by the "mercury militia," as thimerosal-autism link advocates are deregatorily dismissed. The anonymous Respectful
Insolence blogger says the connection "was never particularly scientifically plausible in the first place; it was just barely plausible enough that activists with an agenda could make scientists throw up their hands and say, 'All right, let's take a look.'" The criticism echoes that of UCLA
pharmacologist Paul Krugstad, who after the CDC study said, "The removal of thimerosal created the impression of risk, where none existed."
But the thimerosal-autism link was plausible, at least in the lab:
studies found that the preservative damaged cell cultures and mice. I have vivid memories of being shown a video by Columbia University epidemiologist Mady Hornig, who gave mice thimerosal doses proportionate to those received by human babies, then watched as the mice exhibited autism-like symptoms, particularly repetitive behavior. In some instances the mice repeated their customary grooming habits until they'd chewed holes in each other.
The doses received by children were several times the EPA's recommended maximums; those maximums were rules of thumb rather than precise scientific markers, but they were guidelines nonetheless. Allowing thimerosal doses to increase through the 1990s as the routine infant immunization schedule expanded was extraordinarily careless. Vaccine manufacturers and public health officials dodged a bullet — and it's still not clear, and might not ever be clear, whether thimerosal might have caused autism in a statistically insignificant number of children unable to metabolize mercury.
The autism-thimerosal link appears, for public health purposes, to be dead. But rather than mocking the understandable anger of confused parents trying to grapple with early and imperfect science, critics ought to be grateful that vaccine carelessness didn't wreak havoc on the mental development of a generation.

Serbia Death Toll Rises to 17 in Worst Floods in 1,000 Years
Gordana Filipovic and Misha SavicThe death toll in Serbia from the worst flooding seen in 1,000 years has risen to 17 as the capital Belgrade braces itself for a "flood wave."
Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said today 12 bodies were discovered in the town of Obrenovac, 25 kilometers southwest of the capital, amid concern more will be found, the state-owned Tanjug newswire reported. The previous official death toll was five.
Thousands of volunteers were piling up sandbags along the banks of the Sava river in Belgrade as the met office warned water levels could exceed safe depth by as much as 6 meters on May 21. President Tomislav Nikolic said the damage could reach "billions of euros."
"We have a chance to save ourselves," Vucic told a meeting of his cabinet in Belgrade today. "We have managed to avoid the biggest catastrophe" after "a rainfall that happens once in a thousand years."
Serbia declared a state of emergency on May 15, after record rainfall triggered floods that killed at least five people in one day. More than 24,000 have been evacuated and some 7,000 homes left without electricity, Predrag Maric, the head of the Serbian Interior Ministry's emergencies unit, said.
Russia, the European Union, the U.S., Turkey and Belarus have sent helicopters, planes, rescue units and life-saving equipment. Donors have been asked to provide canned and baby food, medicines and disinfectants, Vucic said. The government has also mobilized psychologists to assist people at shelters.
Exposed Dead Bodies
Heavy rain initially hit the western parts of Serbia, bordering Bosnia, where six people were found dead. Two were missing in eastern Croatia, state radio reported, citing local police. In Serbia and Bosnia, where more than two million people have been affected, the army was preparing to clean and disinfect areas where receding waters exposed dead bodies and animals.
The United Nations will send its specialized teams to Serbia and "is fully mobilized and stands ready to provide the government with support in coordinating the international emergency assistance," its office in Belgrade said in an e-mail.
The World Bank will consider releasing some aid from its emergency fund to help Serbia recover from the disaster and "the International Monetary Fund also expressed understanding for the hardship and pressures on the budget resulting from this," Economy Minister Dusan Vujovic said in an e-mail.
Finance Minister Lazar Krstic told private TV broadcaster Pink that contact has been made with the European Investment Bank about 30-year loans, and central bank governor Jorgovanka Tabakovic told newspaper Blic the government will organize public works to rebuild towns, roads and rail tracks.

Deploying That Fabric
18 comments:
wow, way to persevere! You are such a sweet friend. I'm still trying to work up the motivation to finish some scrub tops for my friend who is a nurse--she bought all the fabric, and it's been nearly a year. the embarrassment of not finishing in a timely manner is becoming good motivation... :( I'd love to see a pic of you sewing in the sunglasses, teehee ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe there is a whole book devoted to reusing military uniforms. But there is and you used it and what you've turned out is amazing! I'm sure your friend will love them and being made by you will make them even more special. I'm glad you kept your eyes too, they're very helpful things.
ReplyDeleteMethinks YOU are the Rock Star, Miss Megtastic! That is some serious combat sewing, that is! Good on you for the sunglasses, though I would definitely love to see a pic of you wearing them in action. Booyah! LOL!
I used to make diaper bags all the time. Oilcloth lining is what I love - it wipes clean, doesn't stain, and doesn't fade. Happy!It turned out great! Even if your sewing machine doesn't agree.
I've never made a diaper bag, and probably wouldn't unless it was for myself, since everyone likes different features. My baby gift for the last couple of pregnant friends has been geeky bibs--I did Lord of the Rings bibs for one friend, and Star Wars bibs for another! Whatever the mom is into. :)I was in the military but never hear about that book. Maybe that is why there is so many army wife's who use ACU stuff. I was wondering if it was just because their husbands do it. I do feel you in the part of knowing as a fact that ACU uniforms have very hard sewing edges, pockets and everything. After my first deployment I got pregnant and when i got my baby i got so depressed with my body weight that i decide i would buy only one medium regular uniform and i wont buy any other one. because i was wanting to exercise and get back to my regular size (small regular)I wear that uniform every day for an entire year!!! wash it and dry it every day!!! I still have that set of pant and top. Thank God i don't wear it anymore but there is no broken parts on that uniform. I have an entire box of them in my house. Thanks for sharing your ideas
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I know no one expecting because I soooo would not be making one of these, especially after reading this post. How hilarious though, and it came out totally awesome. (I'm resisting using a word I'd never use, "totes" even though there's the obvious pun...) Seriously, I'm really impressed even with all the problems you had with your machine. Give her a glass of wine and a nice rub down with, um, sewing machine oil?
ReplyDeleteSounds like "extreme sewing" to me! Your makes turned out awesome. In the future if you want to make a quick and easy project, bibs and burp cloths are the way to go: they are square(ish) and you can make a ton assembly line style. I'm sure your friend will appreciate the time invested on this lovely gift.
