Every day around 144 million people play online games made by King Digital Entertainment, most of them navigating the colorful "Candy Crush Saga."
King Digital (KING) devotees play about 1.4 billion game episodes daily, mostly on smartphones but also the Web and Facebook (FB), with "Candy Crush" accounting for about a billion of those plays.
It's not a brainbuster game like chess. "Candy Crush Saga" is a simple online puzzle game where players progress through a dazzling display of candy. There are 500 levels, each offering a different challenge that gets progressively harder.
Each game session is designed to last a few minutes. People play them on buses, trains, planes, in airports, on coffee breaks and study breaks, while they're watching TV or waiting to meet a friend.
King Digital has been developing games since 2003, but it wasn't until the introduction of "Candy Crush Saga" on mobile in the first quarter of 2012 that it hit the jackpot. Like a hit song, "Candy Crush Saga" rose to No. 1 on the charts and remained king far longer than others. The company believes "Candy Crush Saga" is one of the largest interactive entertainment franchises of all time.
King Digital is shooting for another big score with an initial public offering that is expected to launch Wednesday. The company plans to raise $500 million by selling 22.2 million shares in a 21 to 24 range. That would give it a $7.6 billion market cap at the high end.
King Digital describes itself as a leading interactive entertainment company for the mobile world.
"Our mission is to provide highly engaging content to our audience to match their mobile lifestyles: anywhere, anytime and on any device," the company says in its IPO prospectus filing.
The 144 million people who play daily are up from 128 million in December. In Q4, King Digital had 408 million average monthly users, up from 361 million in Q3.
In addition to "Candy Crush Saga," other games include "Pet Rescue Saga," "Farm Heroes Saga," "Papa Pear Saga" and "Bubble Witch Saga." They are referred to as casual games, which typically include a puzzle element, are easy to learn and hard to master. They can be played in a few minutes on a wide range of devices. King Digital has a catalog of about 180 games, all of them free to play.
King Digital operates six game studios — in Stockholm and Malmo, Sweden; Barcelona, Bucharest and London.
The company generates revenue primarily through the sale of virtual items to users, which they buy to enhance and expand the game experience. These items, which are purchased online, include things like extra lives, boosters and additional game content.
Purchases are made on a micro-transaction model. A typical virtual item is priced at about $1. Almost all of King Digital's revenue in 2013 came from selling virtual items.
The vast majority of company revenue traces to the popular games "Candy Crush Saga," "Pet Rescue Saga" and "Farm Heroes Saga." Those three accounted for 95% of total gross bookings. But King's top game, "Candy Crush Saga," accounted for 78% of total gross bookings in the fourth quarter.
Sam Hamadeh, CEO of research firm PrivCo, sees that as a red flag.
"This company is a one-trick pony and the pony is getting tired," Hamadeh said. "It's no secret popular games are fads with short life cycles."
By "tired," he was referring to the slowdown in "Candy Crush" revenue in Q4 2013 compared with Q3. Total company revenue of $601.7 million in Q4 was $19.5 million less than what was reported in Q3, attributed to a slowdown in "Candy Crush" popularity.
"Candy Crush Saga" was the top downloaded game throughout 2013 but began slipping at the start of this year, according to data from App Annie, a business intelligence firm focused on gaming apps.
Hamadeh made a comparison to Zynga (ZNGA), which came public at a time when its "FarmVille" franchise was wildly popular. Zynga came public in December 2011 priced at 10. The stock peaked near 16 three months later and then went into a sharp dive, as its newer games failed to catch on.
"King Digital feels like Zynga all over again," Hamadeh said.
The digital gaming industry is highly competitive. It includes Electronic Arts (EA), Activision Blizzard (ATVI), Zynga and numerous other companies. King Digital also competes with game developers in foreign countries, such as Tencent Holdings in Asia.
Other competitors include GungHo Online Entertainment, creator of "Puzzles & Dragons," Finland-based Supercell and Rovio Entertainment, creator of the "Angry Birds" franchise.
"King Digital is not the only one being extremely successful and monetizing at a great rate," said Marcos Sanchez, vice president of corporate communications at App Annie. "This is an extremely competitive market where a breakout hit can come from even the smallest company."
As King Digital said in its prospectus: "If we fail to offer popular virtual items, make unpopular changes to existing virtual items or offer games that do not attract purchases of virtual items, or if our distribution partners make it more difficult or expensive for players to purchase in-game virtual items, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected."
The huge success of "Candy Crush" in 2013 shows in the financial results. Total company revenue of $1.88 billion in '13 compares with $164.4 million in '12. Profit of $567.6 million in '13 compares with $7.8 million a year ago.
In the December quarter, revenue of $601.7 million was up 764% from the same quarter a year ago. The company reported a profit of $159.2 million, up from $6.1 million in the year-ago quarter. In Q2 and Q3, revenue growth was more than 1,300%.
But a small portion of King Digital's player network accounts for a large part of revenue. In December, about 4% of monthly unique users, or 12 million players, purchased virtual items from the company, accounting for most revenue.
King Digital expects to receive net proceeds of $326 million from the offering, based upon an assumed IPO price of 22.50 per share, the midpoint of its set price range. It intends to use net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

CFB INSANITY - 10 Case Player Draft of 2011 BDPP - Discussion Thread
1 Attachment(s)
[SIZE=4][COLOR=Red][B]Draft! [COLOR=Black][SIZE=3]Starts Thursday @ noon. Runs noon to midnight, M-S. 60 minute draft clock.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]
Order #134006
[COLOR=Red][B]VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO READ:[/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR=Black][B]Draft Rules:[/B][/COLOR]
Because there are 286 spots, we need to implement a few rules to move the draft along.
[/COLOR][COLOR=Black]1. I will provide a spreadsheet with every pick on it. I strongly encourage you to provide a list and allow me to pick for you. By using this spreadsheet for your list, I can create a database and make quick work of the auto picks. (You must use the spreadsheet - if you do not have excel, [I]open office[/I] works too and that is free.)
2. The draft clock will run from noon to midnight every day starting 24 hours after the random.
3. You get 60 minutes from the time the previous pick was made. If you miss your clock (and have not sent a list), you are on automatic auto-pick until you check-in. We have all been held captive by guys who are awol - so this will help with that.
4. If you send a list, I am going to use it. If you are on and want to draft instead of me using your list, just post "Hey I am here to draft - do not use my list." You need to do this well in advance of your spot or I may not see it. [B]UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES[/B] will I wait the entire 60 minutes and then use your list. The list is not so that you can waste all our time and then get the pick you wanted anyway - that is a d-bag move and we do not allow that here. When your spot comes up, I use your list.
5. Common courtesy is extremely important in these drafts - especially this one. [COLOR=Red][B]PM the next person in line[/B][/COLOR] (or ask someone to PM for you if you cannot). Subscribe to the thread and stay updated! If you are nearing your 60 minute deadline and are still picking, just post a comment - "Hey, I am here and picking now." I promise I am not an ogre trying to auto-pick you Sean Rodriguez when you really wanted Jay Sborz. :)
6. [/COLOR]Once the clock starts for your pick, your trading [B]STOPS.[/B] You have had plenty of time to sell that spot. Those 60 minutes may seem like a golden opportunity to you - but it is not cool. So, I am adding this to the draft rules: Once you are up to pick AND you are on the clock, no more selling your spot.
7. [COLOR=Black]DO NOT SELL SPOTS OUTSIDE THE BREAK!
8. Remember, the clock starts after the last pick is made. PM's are nice, but your clock does not start after a pm. Be sure and track the draft - it is your responsibility.
9. Have fun! Cornerstore recently got a Superfractor of his PC player with one of the last picks in Dachman's draft. Anything can happen![/COLOR]
[QUOTE][B]If you break up your spots (no matter who you sell them to), there [I]MAY[/I] be a small extra shipping charge. This is just to protect me from getting financially murdered on shipping. [/B][/QUOTE][COLOR=Blue][B][SIZE=4]So, here are the paypal rules[/SIZE]:[/B][/COLOR]
1. [COLOR=Red][B]Do not put the word "break" anywhere in your payment info![/B][/COLOR] Just say "CFB INSANITY" and your BO username.
2. Please put you BO username in the title [B]and[/B] the description
of your payment.
3. Please send [B]Goods[/B] only - do [B]NOT[/B] send as a gift.
4. Please make sure your [B]Paypal address is correct[/B].
5. If using paypal mobile, send me your address by pm.
My paypal email address is here: [ATTACH]58976[/ATTACH]
Ok, look, in our most recent 3 case break of 2010 BDPP we were talking about the insanity of a 10 case player break of 2011 BDPP.
[B]Anticipated slots:[/B]
1 Harper auto (green 2011 Bowman parallel #'ed /350)
34 autos
110 rookies BDP 1-110
110 prospects BDPP 1-110
10 Aflac (1 per case)
10 USA (1 per case)
10 Futures Game (1 per case - Includes Harper - Futures Game relics/patches/jumbo patches/logomen)
1 60th Anniversary autos (all 10 cases)
After all these spots are paid, we will have a mod random the 286 spots three times. This random will become the draft order.
Warning - if you pick an auto in the BDPP, you may get nothing. If that player has 10 autos, you get all 10; if that player gets 0 autos, you get 0. Same is true for the AFLAC spots and even USA auto spots.
Once the complete checklist goes live, I will provide all that information.
We will need a $2000.00 deposit and then the balance. Because I already know how many spots there will be, I can approximate the shipping costs now based on a 120 card slot weight/size.
Current prices (this is the price cut):
2011 BDPP $710 x 10 = $7100
[B]FIRST PAYMENT DUE [COLOR=Red]NOW (once we go active)[/COLOR] FOR DEPOSIT:[/B]
[COLOR=Red]DEPOSIT[/COLOR] = Deposit is paid

SECOND PAYMENT NOT DUE UNTIL [COLOR=Red]NOVEMBER 9th[/COLOR]:[/B]
[QUOTE][B]If you break up your spots (no matter who you sell them to), there [I]MAY[/I] be a small extra shipping charge. This is just to protect me from getting financially murdered on shipping. [/B][/QUOTE]1 slot final payment = $19.75 + $3.75 + PP fees = [B]$24.00[/B]
2 slots = $39.50 + $5.00 + PP fees = [B]$45.00[/B]
3 slots = $59.25 + $5.00 + PP fees = [B]$65.00[/B]
4 slots = $79.00 + $5.00 + PP fees = [B]$84.75[/B]
5 slots = $98.75 + $11.00 + PP fees = [B]$110.75[/B]
6 slots = $118.50 + $11.00 + PP fees = [B]$130.50 [/B]
7 slots = $138.25 + $11.00 + PP fees = [B]$150.50[/B]
10 slots = $197.50 + $11.00 + PP fees = [B]$210.00[/B]
12 slots = $237.00 + $11.00 + $2.50 + PP fees = [B]$252.00[/B]
15 slots = $296.25 + $11.00 + $2.50 + PP fees = [B]$311.50[/B]
Why this new price scheme you ask? Well, from experience I now have a better idea what each slot will be and or weigh. By doing it this way, I limit the amount of money that I charge you for shipping. Also, by adding the PP fees at the end, I only charge you the $0.30 PP charge once instead of for each lot. Also, I am still charging you $1.00 each lot for supplies - however, please understand that these lots are more than 3 times the size of our last break.
[B][U]Special Rules for this Break [/U][/B](By joining this break, you agree to these rules!)
1. If you hit a card worth $250 or more, I will ask you to pay for upgraded shipping - priority mail, signature confirmation, and insurance.
2. We will need the deposit paid right away so that we can send it in to BO.
3. If you join this break, you must be willing to pay within 24 hours of the break going active. We want to order right away - it takes 3 days after payment for the cases to arrive.
4. If you join this break, you must subscribe to this thread. It makes life SO MUCH EASIER.
5. Because this is a club break, the host DOES have a spot. If this bothers you in any way, please do not join. All breaks are done LIVE and recorded.
6. Once you receive your cards, please post in the thread that your cards were received. For anything outside the USA, I will provide the customs # as proof of delivery. This rule is so that Blowout Cards can see that you have received your cards and it makes it easier for me to open another break.
7. If a pull wins this monthly "best pulls" contest on BO, the prize will be a new break with all hits (or teams) randomed amongst all participants.
A few things you should know:
1. I will start the break the same day the cases arrive - starting at 6pm EST (should take 3 or 4 days).
2. I will have scans up that same night (really).
3. I will mail your cards FAST - sorting 10 cases will take 7 to 10 days.

There are no guilty men in gaol,
to comprehend what they go through:
they are misunderstood; we fail
to see them as like me and you.
We can't imagine why they strayed,
they say, I quote, 'Not me at all.'
Don't own the error of their ways,
to them we live in cloudy pall.
These innocents have done no wrong,
they give reasons for all they did.
We others sing another song.
They want to show they did no wrong.

Q System
Q System is a customer queue and workflow tool that manages customer walk-in traffic. Q System has three components: 1. a customer sign-in kiosk, 2. digital signs informing customers when and where they will be serviced, and, 3. desktop queues throughout the business that give staff a real-time overview of customers waiting for service. Q System calms impatient customers and exasperated staff by providing a smooth customer service experience. Q System sign-in queue can be used for any number of purposes. Customer activity is divided into queues based upon the different stations necessary. Desktop windows on each service staff's computer or anywhere throughout the organization, give an overview and breakdown of the customers neededing to be serviced. Queues can be viewed and managed by the appropriate person. In the customer lounge, on large computer displays, the customers will be able to view a list of all customer names waiting for service and the order which they were entered into the Sign-In Kiosk. This will provide customers with a way to view their position and when they are likely to be serviced. Each customer name will appear on a separate line in the order they signed in. Staff members will call customers in the lounge when it is their turn to be serviced. Once a staff member has serviced the customer the staff member will clear the customers name from the Q System and their name will be automatically removed from the Customer Lounge Displays. Customers enter and stand in a waiting area until Reception staff can attend them. Reception staff then directs traffic flow, ensuring that all customer requests are delivered to the proper service station. As customer load gets heavy, efficiency and timely management is sacrificed. Many businesses recognize the need for an automated queue system that will allow staff at each service station to view an up-to-the-minute list of customers waiting to visit their station. From the customer lounge, customers will be able to view an ordered list so they can anticipate when they will be serviced. The automated queue system, named "Q" is very quick and easy to use from a customer's perspective. It delivers the customer to a lounge so they do not bottleneck the entry area. Customers feel reassured that staff are aware of their needs and have an efficient system for calling upon them. The Q System reliably communicates to the staff that customers are waiting and in which order they should be serviced.
An intuitive sign-in kiosk greets customers
After signing in, customers can relax knowing they will be helped
Screens prominently display the queue indicating who will be helped next
A customer service staff member reviews a list of waiting customers from their desktop Q
The desktop Q shows who is next and the purpose of their visit
The front desk staff member then directs customers to the correct service department
The front desk staff member then directs customers to the correct service department
The Management Dashboard gives managers easy access to all queues for monitoring
Production staff has a live form that tracks all production orders due today
The shipping queue dynamically generates FedEx shipping labels when the order is ready
Q System
Q System is a robust workflow management system that manages customer traffic through each service department from walk-in to order fulfilment. It has four components:
- Customer sign-in kiosk
- Flat-screens informing customers when and where they will be serviced
- Desktop queues manage real-time customer workflow at each service department
- Production and shipping queues to manage order fulfilment and shipping, including FedEx label generation
Q System, DASH, and Order Form all play well together. Contact us for a demonstration.

Men's Cotton Pants & Wrinkles – How to Get a Crisp Trouser Crease – Male Style Fashion Advice
Hi. I'm Antonio Centeno, the founder of Real Men Real Style. And today we're going to be talking about keeping wrinkles out of your cotton trousers. If you haven't already, make sure to subscribe our YouTube channel above. This is great because all the videos will be delivered to your inbox. In addition, if you enjoy this video, please like it below. This is a great way for me to know if these videos are useful and in what direction we need to be making more videos.
In addition, notice that we always link to relevant articles. Now, feel free to visit these and tell me in the comments if this is useful, what more things you'd like to see. I really appreciate the feedback.
Okay. So this is the question that came to us, "Dear Antonio, I love your article on a proper way to iron a dress shirt, and I would be very grateful if you could do the same with pants. This is one of my biggest frustrations in the morning. I wear a lot of cotton. I'm living in the south and I also wear linen. But the cotton kills me. I've tried ironing inside out, I've tried starch, nothing seems to keep the wrinkles out. Can you help me keep the wrinkles out of my cotton trousers?" Well, cotton is going to wrinkle. There's no getting around it.
The first thing is let's look at your iron. Is your iron getting hot enough? A lot of people, they're very – they don't realize how durable cotton is and how resistant to wrinkling cotton can be in its original form. So that's why if you look on the setting of an iron, wool is actually usually number three, and that's because wool can be very easily damaged by heat. Cotton is usually number six, sometimes even number seven. And so, hundred percent cotton shirts. You can expose those to a lot of heat. And the only – you do want to be careful about damaging the shirt, but you do need to apply quite a bit of heat in order to get a very crisp crease. So that would be the first thing I would say is you need to go look at the cotton – look at your iron, see how hot it's getting. And don't think just because you've got one iron here and it says a seven and another iron here says it's the seven, lower quality irons, they don't get as high. You may need to go back to the box and actually look at how much – how hot the iron is getting, what it's graded to, how much electricity is sucking out to put out the amount of hit. And you may need to invest, and actually, a better quality iron.
What would also possibly be a culprit is that you need to invest a better quality pair of jeans. So your pants, these cotton trousers that you're talking about, they could be using a low-grade cotton. And so, cotton is usually grade by the cleanliness and the length of the fiber. Lower grade cotton is commonly used in trousers, especially ones that, well, they are not just very good ones made from a good fabric. And because they're going to be made from a shorter strand fiber, it's not going to hold creases as well. So, that could be, you know, one of the other culprits.
Finally, I would advise, look outside of cotton. Cotton is great, but cotton is just – one cotton linen. Also, look at tropical weight wool. I think it's one of the more underutilized fabrics out there. You can get it in light colors. It's going to hold the crease better and it will – it's perfectly fine. I mean, if you think about, you know, how the hair on your body, how it breathes, this is basically – if you get a good quality, 100% wool pair of trousers in a light tropical weight, I think you're going to have surprises at how cool those can be on a hot summer day even down on the south.
All right. So, there you have it. Hopefully, one of those three tips is going to solve your problem. And if you'd like to learn more about men style, make sure to visit us over at Real Men Real Style. We've got a free 47-page eBook you can download.

Navy must strengthen itself to ensure peace: Patil
Pratibha Patil released a commemorative stamp and a coffee table book on the eve of the fleet review.
Mumbai: President Pratibha Patil on Monday urged the Navy to strengthen itself and ensure regional peace as it is essential for India's increasing power and expanding interests.
"India's growing national power and its expanding vital interests not only present an opportunity for us to strengthen our 'Blue Water' Navy but make it imperative to do so," she said during a banquet hosted in her honour by the Navy.
"India's growing interests are leading to commensurate additional responsibilities that will need to be shouldered by our Navy to ensure regional peace and stability," Patil, who is in the city to review the Naval fleet on Tuesday, said.
The banquet and a Naval band concert was held in the evening as a prelude to the iconic and historic event where the Navy displays its prowess.
Since early times the national leaders had realised "the importance of maritime affairs and the need to be strong at sea," she said.
Patil quoted country's first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru's words -- "to be secure on land, one must be supreme at sea" to stress the importance of a strong and powerful Navy.
"This (Nehru's quote) remains as true today as it was then. However, the security environment prevailing at that time and our own resource limitations placed severe constraints upon us to realise his (Nehru's) vision to the
fullest. The present scenario is not the same," she said.
Patil also released a commemorative stamp and a coffee table book on the eve of the fleet review.
During the event, Navy chief Admiral Nirmal Verma said his force will be "ever vigilant and combat ready" in guarding country's interests.

This recipe is a flat adaptation of the traditional cannoli di ricotta. You can prepare it in no time at all if you have all the ingredients available. It can be a sweet and light treat to your guests after an expansive lunch or an ideal accompaniment to a cup of tea in a sulky rainy afternoon like today.
Ingredients for 4 persons:
- 1 rolled puff pastry (ready to bake)
- icing sugar
- 300g ricotta
- 100g sugar
- 75g candied peel
- 50g dark chocolate
Roll open the circle of puff pastry and cut the borders to form 2 rectangular shapes of equal size. Poke with a fork to create some holes and dust with icing sugar. Cook in a pre-heated oven as indicated on the packet instructions until lightly browned. You can cook the cut corners as well and use them to decorate or eat dipped in some strawberry jam.
In the meantime, prepare the ricotta mixture. Add the sugar to the ricotta and mix well until you create a creamy consistency. Add the chopped chocolate and the candied peel. Mix well.
Spread the ricotta mixture on top of 2 of the pastry rectangles and cover each one with the other 2 puff pastry pieces. Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.

Emery and Kabacinski
Sarah Frances Emery, daughter of Mary Wagoner of Omaha, Neb., is engaged to be married to Joseph Thomas Kabacinski, son of Joni and Raymond Kabacinski of Virginia Beach, Va. Sarah graduated from Colorado State University and works as a teacher at Laurel Street School in Steamboat Springs. Joseph graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University and works as an electrician at Delta Electric. Following is Sarah's account of the night they became engaged: On Dec. 24, Joe and I headed up to the mountain to snowboard in the fresh powder. After a perfect day of riding together, we headed home to our cozy house outside of town. I was putting our snow clothes away when Joe asked me to join him in the other room. I sat down next to him, and he asked how much I loved him. I started to ramble on like usual because we always have expressed to each other how much we mean to one another. Midway through my speech of love, he pulled out a beautiful diamond ring and placed it on my finger. It was so perfect, and I couldn't imagine being with a more loving man.

Just imagine how your life would change if you could create a 6-figure business while actually working LESS… From the desk of Lisa Cherney, Juicy Marketing Expert Dear Stressed-Out Entrepreneur, Does any of the following sound familiar? You: Own your own business, but have discovered that running it isn't as easy as it's made out to be. Work even harder now than you did when you had a regular job, and are investing more hours than ever before in your business. Frustrated and overwhelmed, the entrepreneurial dream has become a nightmare, and if it keeps up, you might just have to give up and get a "job" again! Follow the guidance of the experts, and do just what they say, but nothing ever changes. You feel stuck, and are SO tired of struggling. Feel guilty about the $$$$ you've spent on cure-all step-by-step systems that don't fit – so when all that information starts collecting dust on a shelf, you're left wary and wondering how to succeed in business in a way that's authentic to YOU. Keep promising yourself THIS will be the year you finally realize the vision of freedom you had when you first started your business – but meanwhile, the struggle eats away at your self-respect and integrity. Have no idea how to describe what you do, to effectively reflect your passion and dedication to your message. You know you have a powerful message; you just can't find the words that resonate with the people you are meant to help! Or, if you don't already own a business, maybe you: Are planning to start one – but want to do it RIGHT from the start so you can avoid the most difficult struggles. Regardless of whether own your own business already, or if you're just about to embark on your entrepreneurial journey… you are probably fed-up with struggling and are looking for a better way: a way to succeed in business, on your own. You are MORE than ready to finally realize the success you have been craving. Sick and tired of trying it everyone else's way, you are ready to claim your OWN path to success… you're just not exactly sure how to get there! "Working with Lisa has totally transformed my Business and how I relate to myself as an Entrepreneur." "Lisa's 6 Figures On Your Terms Event was an amazing, amazing 3 days! Working with Lisa has totally transformed my Business and how I relate to myself as an Entrepreneur. Lisa's Programs are the missing piece – she gives you the clarity and access to your heartfelt words to market your business and what to say that really inspires your Ideal Client to want to work with you as well as embracing your worth and your gift to the world." – Diane Shelton, CoreStrategiesForSuccess.com Just imagine… …how it would feel to run your own part-time business, on Your Own Terms. You don't have to just imagine. You CAN: Create a 6-figure business that serves you rather than owns you Decide for yourself the hours you invest in your work Stop wasting hours and hours of your life on what isn't working in your business. Find what works for YOU so you can focus your energy on what brings the most success. Feel confident about yourself and what you do, so you can get your message out there, in a BIG way Market in a way that DOES work for you, easily and effectively Serve more of the people you are destined to help Enjoy life once more with a healthy balance of work and play How does that sound? Perhaps you think it's impossible. Let me assure you – it's totally possible! I've done it. In 2006, when my daughter Bella was born, I quit working full time at my business. I was determined to spend time with my child – I didn't want to miss a thing! So, I cut down to working just 2 days a week. And when I did my taxes at the end of that year, I was surprised to find I'd earned almost exactly what I had the previous year, when I was working full time! That was the first time I tripled my income, and this also marked the transformation of my business. Even better, I had the joy of being there the first time my baby smiled, and when she took her first step – memories I'll treasure forever. Now in 2009, after Bella started pre-school, I knew I was ready to get to the next level. That was when I invested in a mentor (to the tune of $20K – which felt insane!) with money I didn't have. This lit a fire under me, and that year I tripled my income again. I was working 3 days a week – and my income hit a quarter of a million. In 2010, I doubled my income again. I worked 3-4 days a week, and enjoyed a bit of travel in my off time. My quality of life was getting better and better, AND, we were able to pay off our 2nd mortgage – nearly 6-figures. In 2011, still working 3-4 days a week, I enjoyed 6 full weeks of vacation, surpassed my 2010 income, and we bought our dream home. Here we are, 2014, and I've made 7-figures for two consecutive years! But that's not even the BEST part. The best part is I've taught hundreds of my VIP students over the years my same strategies and they've ALSO experienced success! Now do you believe that it IS possible for things to just get better and better? Let me show you how to transform your life, so you can really start enjoying it… Stop wasting hours and hours struggling to find your path to success… Find your own way of running your business instead of following someone else's method of what worked for them Know you are clear and confident about the service you offer and who you're offering it to Learn how to say what you do with clarity Infuse your business with all you have and all that you are – (including your heart and your spiritual awareness!) Create a business you love, on Your Terms, that makes you 6-figures and more Finally realize your dream and your mission – reach the people who are praying for your help, and let them know you are there to provide it, with CLEAR, juicy words you can incorporate into ALL your marketing pieces. "I have more free time and I'm making a lot more money!" "I have learned to own my value, connect with my brilliance and realize my contribution. Since working with Lisa, my income has tripled…one of the biggest benefits of working with Lisa is all this free time I now have and I am making a lot more money." – Shalini J. Yamdagni, Emotional and Physical Pain Relief Expert, eftthailand.com "I have had several very successful products each grossing over 5-figures!" "I was the expert who always needed to read one more book before I could call myself an expert and I think that's why I really didn't value selling my knowledge. I had people pushing me to create products and all I could say was, 'There are plenty of good products out there, what am I going to add to the mix?' Lisa was the one to help me breakthrough my thinking and see the value of my expertise. Now I've had several very successful products each grossing over 5-figures. A big part of working with Lisa was her support when I had angst about this change. If you don't push through and have a number of people who support you, you'll just spin your wheels and never reach your big financial goals." – Michele PW, Your $Ka-Ching!$ Marketing Strategist, michelepw.com I've told you how I'm running my business on my terms – and making way more money than I used to do when I was working full time. Now I want to help you to do the same. Introducing "Be Juicy! 6-Figures On Your Terms: Full Time Prosperity – Part Time Hours" a 3 day live event I'm SO excited to host, November 10-12, 2014 in beautiful Long Beach, CA. In just three days, you learn exactly how to earn 6-figures in your own business, working part- time! First, let me tell you what I'm NOT going to do: provide you with a cookie cutter "system" that you have to slavishly follow. Those are the one-size-fits-all types, and trust me, those do NOT work. If you try and fit your business into a system like this, it can end up sucking the life and creativity right out of you, and you find yourself even more frustrated than before. I don't want that for you – I want you to realize your ultimate success! What I WILL give you is a path to prosperity you create on your OWN terms. You will: Learn exactly how to create and maintain a 6-figure business, on your own terms. No more struggling, overwhelm, and overwork! Become 100% clear in your vision for your business, and receive the tools you need to realize that vision. (No more wandering through the dark, unsure of what is wrong, or how to fix it. Let me shine a ray of hope into your marketing darkness!) Discover your peaceful path to prosperity – no more physical, emotional and financial stress. Understand how to market your business with clarity and confidence, so you magnetically attract your Ideal Clients with ease. Gain a much deeper trust in yourself to navigate pitfalls, speak your truth and stay true to your heart – when you do this, the Universe lines up to support you and you stop wasting time, energy and money. Earn your Certificate of Authenticity when you complete this 3-day training, to signify your commitment to creating a business on your own terms and attracting the clients who love you for it! This event is like nothing I've ever done or anything you've ever been to before. I am taking all of my very best teachings from the last 13 years, and combining them into three fantastic, content-rich, juicy days so you can create a business on your terms (and that can even mean part-time!) Finally – you learn a business philosophy that honors all of you. Bring all of who you are and all of what you've experienced into what you do now, with full authenticity. You become empowered (and trust yourself more) to make the right business decisions. You get the tools you need to get out of your own way, to help you hear your heart more clearly, make tough decisions, and honor your value… so much so that you even begin saying "NO" to non-ideal clients and opportunities. At the end of this three day transformational experience, you leave feeling like you are finally in full alignment with what you want to create, who you want to help, and what it all will look like when you get there. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: November 10-12, 2014 – Long Beach, CA When you stand straight, aligned and in balance, you are strong. When you are crooked, out of alignment and off-balance, you are weak… and anyone can just push you right on over… It's the same with your business! When you are in alignment with everything in your business, you will be strong, and you'll find everything "works" much more smoothly and easily. With this in mind, on Day 1 we focus on you, your business and your message, so you can be fully aligned from the inside out. Here is what you can expect: Discover and claim your Ideal Client – so you really know who you are targeting. (No more settling for less – you will even confidently walk away from non-Ideal Clients knowing it's in your best interest – and theirs!) Become clear on exactly what sets you apart from your competition, and why you are the only option for your Ideal Clients. Fine tune your product or service so it's an exact match to your Ideal Client's needs. (Accomplish this and you'll have them BEGGING to work with you!) Simplify your marketing so you can focus precisely on where your Ideal Clients hang out—this will save you hours and hours, not to mention hundreds of dollars. Get in alignment with EVERYTHING in your business, so it all works smoothly and easily. (No more "out of alignment" struggle and difficulties!) Confidently answer all your prospects' objections. (No more stuttering, mumbling and losing the sale.) Build your confidence and conviction in the value of what you're offering, and get the courage to give yourself a raise! When you have the juicy words to describe what you do for people, you can finally earn what you are worth, and what your Ideal Clients will be more than happy to pay you. Eliminate the guilt you have around your other investments. Clients tell me over and over "Working with you has made all my other investments pay off." Once you get clear and aligned, you'll be able to benefit from all the programs you've invested in. Create your Juicy 30-Sec Intro to use at networking meetings (and in everyday conversations) so the folks you're talking to really get it. (No more "winging it" in the moment!) Day 1 Bonus Session – Juicy Networking Reception Practice using your Juicy 30-Sec Intro during a structured/ interactive networking palooza, so you leave with actual leads for clients, referral sources and even JV partners! And this is just the first day! On the second day, we dive in to what it takes to build a full-time income with a part-time business. Listen to the stories of other successful business owners who have already trodden this path. These are people who have created their businesses on their own terms, working part-time while making full time incomes. Learn from their stories so you can avoid their mistakes! What else you can expect: Get inspired by entrepreneurs who've already achieved what you want to do. Discover the pitfalls that could be waiting for you – and how to avoid them. How to sell without selling your soul™! (Learn to show up powerfully and ask for the money you deserve with ease and grace.) Define your own "terms" – what do you want your business to look like and how do you want it to serve you? Learn what it takes to transform your 1:1 work into group programs, and make better use of your time while reaching more people with your message. Create your Part-Time Profit Path™, a personalized plan to create and maintain a 6-figures business while working far fewer hours than EVER before. Make your competition disappear (as easy as waving a magic wand!) Simplify your business AND your marketing. I'm going to teach the key to my Part-Time Profit Path — my revolutionary (and surprisingly simple) Anchor Store Business Model™. This is the secret to how you can laser focus your offers and ensure ALL your efforts get the biggest payoff possible with the least effort.

Maybe, at this very moment, you're wondering if what you receive is worth your $1997 investment. Let me ask you this – what would it be worth to you to: Stop wasting hours and hours doing the SAME things with your business, but expecting different results? Earn 6-figures in your business, and maintain that income, while working far fewer hours than EVER before? Become so clear on your marketing message, that you confidently and effortlessly begin attracting your Ideal Clients? (You know, those people you LOVE working with so much, it barely even feels like work?) Truly trust yourself, to speak your truth, stay true to your heart, and make the kind of impact you know you were born to make? Fulfill your mission and purpose, reaching many more of the people you are ideally suited to help? FINALLY live the life you have dreamed about for years – balancing your personal life (and all the things that really matter to you) with the joy you receive from a business that completely supports you, working with clients you love, and enjoying the process? Would you pay $1997 to make $100,000, and live the life you really want? I know I would! Now, I know there are TONS of events happening right now, and you have many choices. So why should you choose mine? That's a really good question! This is not a typical "event". This is 3 days of intensive training with me, personally teaching you how to create your own 6-figure business – on your own terms. This is not a "pitch fest". You get ME – sharing my 13 years of experience and success, not a bunch of speakers only interested in selling their products. You will walk away with everything you need to develop your business, your way. You just won't find another event out there with this much value for a price this low. Still not sure if this is for you? Below, I've included some of the questions I hear most frequently, and their answers, to help you make your decision: Q: What will I walk away with after attending your event? A: In short, you walk away with a customized blueprint for creating a business you love, on your terms, that makes you 6-figures and more – as well as the mindset shift necessary to support this new structure. Why? Because during the event, you discover exactly what you're offering – and to whom – and you then create a marketing and business growth plan based on your authentic, juicy message. You'll FINALLY have both the words and the clarity to explain what you do in such a way your ideal clients can't help but be attracted to your message. And in turn, your business grows effortlessly. Q: What makes your event different? A: Unlike so many marketing courses and events out there, Be Juicy! Is NOT based on a one-size-fits-all, cookie cutter program. I show you EXACTLY how to get to the heart of who you are as an entrepreneur – and how you can connect on a deeper level with the people who most need the service or message you're offering. When you do this, you achieve a new level of prosperity – while working less. Plus, because I realize I'm challenging you to think about and do things in a completely different way, I give you the support you need to take that mental leap – and make BIG positive changes. Q: Will your event be another one of those pitch-fests? A: No. As I mentioned earlier, this event is 90% me – Lisa Cherney. I've invited other presenters ONLY because I know they have something special to contribute to your experience. I want to have plenty of time to go deep with you – but I also want you to hear from the best of the best when it comes to creating a prosperous business you love. Q: Can I get this info without coming to the event? Will this be a product later or simulcast? A: I've focused all my attention on making it as Juicy as possible for the action-oriented entrepreneurs who decide to join me live and in person. When you attend, the experience is so powerful and personalized – you're going to grow as an entrepreneur the moment you set foot in the door. (And that's one of the reasons why I REALLY want you there — watching from home won't be the same as attending live.) I will say, however, that much closer to the time of the event, we will be making a final decision about the possibility to attend via simulcast. Q: My ideal clients can't afford to pay me more … how can I charge more and hope to keep them? A: Here's the great news: not only will I help you create the mind-shift necessary to feel comfortable charging what you're really worth (which I'm guessing is more than you're charging now), but I ALSO can show you how you can still serve your current clients without charging them more. By offering different products and programs at different levels, you can provide something of quality for clients at every financial level. Q: Can I really work part-time and make 6-figures? Is it possible? A: Yes! I'm proof AND my VIP students are proof that it's possible. You're going to learn the EXACT strategies I used and that I taught my students. I'll share with you their success stories, and, of course, delve deeply into how you can structure your time, resources and marketing so you work less and make more. Really.

Lisa Cherney has been known as the Juicy Marketing Expert since 1999 and is Founder of Conscious Marketing, Inc. Having worked with iconic brands like AT&T, Nissan and Lipton at top advertising agencies, it's not a surprise that even leading marketing and sales experts turn to Lisa to cut through the hype and get to the heart of what they uniquely bring to the table. She is a highly sought after speaker for top events like Lisa Sasevich's Speak-to-Sell Boot Camp and Market Your Way to Wealth and she has shared the stage with experts such as Jack Canfield and John Assaraf (from The Secret). She is co-author of a unique book called Inspiration to Realization: A Women's Guide to Business, Personal & Spiritual Fulfillment. Kym Yancey, President of eWomenNetwork called her, "One of the most brilliant marketers I know!" Robert Allen, author of multiple New York Times bestsellers including The Millionaire Next Door says, "Listen to everything Lisa Cherney says about marketing!" However, Lisa's greatest accomplishment is having the courage to laser-focus her marketing (which means saying "no" to non-ideal clients) and tripling her income in 2009 while taking off Fridays and Mondays to be a mom. In 2010 Marketing Clarity was her top priority and she doubled her income again to over a half million dollars. And in 2012 she crossed the 7-Figure mark… still working part-time! With well over 25 years experience, she is now dedicated to working with small business owners, many of whom have added thousands of dollars in sales after exposure to Lisa's groundbreaking Juicy Marketing Systems.

Toilet Bowl Water
the main water valve to home was shut off. checked facuets in the house and flushed the tolilets in the house to drain water from pipes. after flushing the toilet a few minutes later the bowl refilled with water. i thought when the main water for the house was shut off the water wouldn't refill in the toilet bowl. the water refilled in the toilet bowl but not in the tank. the water in the bowl won't flush now. the houses' water is still shut off. i suppose i will have to turn the main house water back on to flush the toilet again. is it normal for the toilet bowl to refill with water? thank you.
Yes that is quite normal. You have a tank full of water and you opened a pathway for it to drain into the bowl. Your tank didnt refill because you shut the source of the water off, but what was sitting in the tank had to go somewhere.....thus the bowl.
The bowl will never empty unless you remove the water with towels or a shop vac. The bowl has a built-in trap (just like under a sink) that holds water to prevent sewer gas from entering the home. Not sure why you are trying to drain the water from pipes and fixtures, unless you are winterizing the home. If so, you need to find a low spot in the water lines to drain all the lines. Usually, air is then used to purge water from any low spots in the piping. Traps are then filled with RV antifreeze. If you remove the water from traps, you need to seal the trap with rags or something to prevent the sewer gas from entering. If the heat will be shut off, you also need to drain the water heater.

Around Australia in a Kayak - Stuart Trueman on 891
21/10/2010 , 3:32 PM by Eliza Kirsch
Stuart Trueman left Broome on the 10th of April with a kayak, a tent, some thermals and a plan.
A plan which was years in the making - to kayak around Australia.
After 6 months travelling down the coast of Western and Southern Australia and with almost a third of his journey behind him, Stuart landed at Glenelg Beach in Adelaide this week for a few days on terra firma.
Fellow adventurers, Matthew Abraham and David Bevan were keen to share tales from the high seas when Stuart visited the 891 studio.

West Champaran is an administrative district in the state of Bihar in India. It is a part of Tirhut Division [1] (Tirhut). The district headquarters are located in Bettiah.
West Champaran is known for its fluid border with Nepal. It is located just 60 km (37 mi) west of Birgunj.
West Champaran district occupies an area of 5,228 square kilometres (2,019 sq mi),[2] comparatively equivalent to Canada's Amund Ringnes Island.[3]
In 1989 West Champaran district became home to Valmiki National Park, which has an area of 336 km2 (129.7 sq mi).[4] It is also home to two wildlife sanctuaries: Valkimi (adjacent to its namesake national park) and Udaypur Wildlife Sanctuary.[4]
West Champaran district comprises the following Sub-Divisions: Bettiah, Bagaha, and Narkatiaganj.
Blocks: Bettiah, Sikta, Mainatand, Chanpattia, Bairia, Lauria, Bagaha - 1, Bagaha - 2, Madhubani, Gaunaha, Narkatiaganj, Manjhaulia, Nautan, Jogapatti, Ramnagar, Thakraha, Bhitaha, Piprasi
According to the 2011 census West Champaran district has a population of 3,922,780,[5] roughly equal to the nation of Liberia[6] or the US state of Oregon.[7] This gives it a ranking of 63rd in India (out of a total of 640).[5] The district has a population density of 750 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,900/sq mi) .[5] Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 28.89%.[5] Pashchim Champaran has a sex ratio of 906 females for every 1000 males,[5] and a literacy rate of 58.06%.[5] Muslim education in [DEORAJ]is 87.12% which is highest in Bihar in a particular region. The scenario of DEORAJ has moved towards digital deoraj.
The district is well connected by roads and railways to all major cities.
Languages include Bhojpuri, a tongue in the Bihari language group with almost 40 000 000 speakers, written in both the Devanagari and Kaithi scripts.[8]
The city inherits a very rich culture. It is the birthplace of famous poet Gopal Singh Nepali. Mahatma Gandhi started the Champaran Satyagraha movement from here in 1917 along with prominent nationalists Rajendra Prasad, Anugrah Narayan Sinha and Brajkishore Prasad.

Pascaline Calculator (1642)
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
Pascal was a French mathematician and philosopher. Pascal did considerable research with regard to the pressure of liquids. He explained principle that described how a liquid in a vessel carried pressure equally in all directions. This came to be known as Pascal's Law, and had importance in the field of hydraulics. Pascal's interest in calculating may have come from a desire to assist his father with the numerous calculations required in his job as Superintendent of Taxes. In about 1642, Pascal developed a calculator called the "Arithmatique" or "Pascaline."
Pascal's device used a series of toothed wheels, which were turned by hand and which could handle numbers up to 999,999.999. Pascal's device was also called the "numerical wheel calculator" andwas one of the world's first mechanical adding machines.

Analyzing Next-Generation Sequencing Data
June 4th - June 15th, 2012
Kellogg Biological Station, MSU
Please sign up for the announcements mailing list if you are interested in taking this class now, or in the future.
Course sponsor: NIH.
Instructors: Dr. C. Titus Brown, Dr. Ian Dworkin, and Dr. Istvan Albert.
Applications are being accepted through March 1st (midnight Pacific)!
Course Description
This intensive two week summer course will introduce attendees with a strong biology background to the practice of analyzing short-read sequencing data from Roche 454, Illumina GA2, ABI SOLiD, Pacific Biosciences, and other next-gen platforms. The first week will introduce students to computational thinking and large-scale data analysis on UNIX platforms. The second week will focus on mapping, assembly, and analysis of short-read data for resequencing, ChIP-seq, and RNAseq.
No prior programming experience is required, although familiarity with some programming concepts is helpful, and bravery in the face of the unknown is necessary. 2 years or more of graduate school in a biological science is strongly suggested. Faculty, postdocs, and research staff are more than welcome!
Students will gain practical experience in:
- Python and bash shell scripting
- cloud computing/Amazon EC2
- basic software installation on UNIX
- installing and running maq, bowtie, and velvet
- querying mappings and evaluating assemblies
Materials from last year's course are available at http://ged.msu.edu/angus/tutorials-2011 under a Creative Commons/use+reuse license.
You can read a blog post about last year's course here.
What will students learn?
By the end of the course, students will be able to map short-read data to sequenced genomes and query the mapping for variation, transcript prevalence (from mRNAseq data), and enriched genomic regions (from ChIP-seq data). They will also know how to transfer large data sets between computers, run extended analyses while asleep, execute and modify existing Python scripts, and otherwise effectively make use of basic computational resources.
Location, dates, and course structure.
The course will be held at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station on Gull Lake in western Michigan from noon on Monday, June 4th through noon on Friday, June 15th. Morning and afternoon lectures will be interspersed with practical hands-on labs. Room and board will be provided on-site (see enrolling, below). Sunday, June 12th, will be a day of rest & relaxation. Students should expect to arrive at KBS by Monday, June 4th at noon and stay at KBS through Friday, June 15th at 2pm. KBS is several hours away from the nearest airports and students coming from out of state should plan on arriving on Sunday.
Applying for the course
An application is required, and we can accommodate approximately 24 students. Everyone is welcome, including students unaffiliated with MSU.
Applications are being accepted through March 1st: see the application form. We hope to inform students of acceptance decisions by March 8th.
Tuition, course cost, and enrolling
All students must pay for on-site room and board (see Orchard Dorms) upon arrival. It should be about $500. We will make arrangements for housing *after* choosing students.
There is no tuition fee. All course materials and sundry expenses will be covered.
Applicants must commit to spending both weeks on-site! The middle Sunday will be free.
Taking the course for-credit
There is no formal option for taking the course for credit at MSU or elsewhere.
Please plan to bring a laptop (Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux are all OK). We do not have any additional laptops available this year.
