This week, I spent a day away from OpenView Venture Partners HQ and was in Dallas at the Shop.org annual summit, where I was able to get up to speed on some of the innovation as it relates to online retail. Given that the sector is going through explosive growth (2009 Spend – $106BN, 2010 Spend – $163BN, 2014E Spend – $249BN), I figured there could be some important tidbits of information to gather from the conference. The main theme I got out of the show not only applied to retailers, but to any business in today's rapidly evolving technological world — how to better connect with your customer.
Below are some insights I got out of the trip that could be valuable to management teams looking to employ new business growth strategies:
1. Purchasing decisions on all levels are many times social, and people rely heavily on user opinion as it relates to making decisions. Highly leverage this, as it can make or break your business. Trying to understand your net promoter score is helpful here. Companies that can figure out how to leverage the "like" feature on Facebook can find huge results here as it relates to harnessing social opinion.
2. Go where your customer is and engage them there. A specific example, as it relates to retail, is if your consumers are spending half of their time on Facebook, getting them to transact on your e-commerce site may be difficult. Providing an option to convert prospects to buyers at locations where they are spending most of their time is key (ex. open a store right on Facebook like 1-800Flowers or create a killer mobile app)
3. Understand the environment of your buyer. In order to be relevant, understand how your target audience purchases and what influence marketing sources they use to become informed before making a buying decision. If you do not pay attention to this, you could have trouble converting prospects to buyers.
4. Really connect with influencers in your market, convert them into advocates and empower them. It's not all about who has the most fans or traffic. Rather, it is those businesses that can take a loyal following and turn them into free salespeople!
Hopefully, at least one of the above points helps spawn some creative ideas as they relate to connecting with your target customer. Mitch Joel's Six Pixels of Separation goes into detail on a lot of these themes, if you are interested in learning more.

We took our staff to the new theme park, Xoximilco, that is being developed by Xcaret on the highway driving north to Cancun. Jin and his two girls, Mildred and Valeria, Freddy, Nancy, Cesar and his wife Fabi and daughter Evelyn, all came along.
It was a lot of fun. A dinner cruise weaving our way along a river through the old stone quarry that they are turning into a theme park. Each boat had the name of one of the states in Mexico.
The dinner was a tasty sampling of food from all over Mexico. For the drinkers (which we don't have many of in our group) the tequila was flowing freely.
There were boats along the way with musicians playing music from states all over Mexico. They had us dancing, singing and playing games by the end of the night. We had a great time!

Ripoff Report
Fort Sill National Bank1420 SW Lee Blvd Lawton, Oklahoma USA
Fort Sill National Bank AKA FSNB Horrible Banking Practices, Unfair practices and fees. Lawton Oklahoma
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am just wanting to let others know my personal expirences with this bank to give current and new customers the advantage and to know what to expect from this terrible bank. There are several reports about this bank with complaints ranging from the bank not posting deposits, charging large amounts of fees, clearing fraudulant transactions and refusing to remove them, the list goes on and on.
We just recently opened an account there because they are located in wal-mart and we thought it would be easily accessable by banking there. The associate who opened our account said our first order of checks would be free, so we placed the order. After a week, they charged our account for the checks, but we did not have sufficient funds in the account to cover the charge that was never supposed to appear because our direct deposit information had not been successfully processed. The bank sent a notice saying the item was paid and that we were charged a o/d charge of 19.50. I contacted customer service and asked why this was charged, they replied there was nothing they could do and to visit the branch and speak to the person who opened the account and told us that the checks would be free. So we did, and the person was not working that day. The next day, the bank reversed the charge for the checks after it was marked clear, and resubmitted the debit for a second time causing yet another overdraft charge of 19.50; this is after they sent a letter to us explaining that this check charge of 8.00 had been paid by the bank instead of returned unpaid. This is now the second overdraft charge for a item that they said was paid the first time, of which I should have never been charged for to begin with as the checks were supposed to be free.
I have decided to close my account after this horrible practice. Besides lying on paper to me and to my face, they require a DL to make a cash deposit into the account, of which takes 10-15 mins each time I have made a deposit, they put your cash balance in the available balance if you make yhour deposit before 2pm or after the cut off day/time of 2:00pm but if you use the amount, they charge overdraft fees. I never did this because I knew that they would charge me, but a few of my friends were not so lucky. I do not have a lot of personal issues with this bank besides the fact that they unfairly charged my account several fees for a small 8.00 order of checks that i was never to be billed for to begin with. If you ever want to pay for gas at the pump even if it's 5.00, they place a $125.00 hold on your account for 72 hours for each pay at pump purchase you make even though they can instantly see that you only purchased 5.00 worth after the transaction completes. There are just too many negatives with this bank, and I am glad to have moved my account else where. To all people looking for a new account, if you MUST get with this bank, deny the overdraft coverage on your atm/debit card so they legally cannot charge you a o/d charge when you are only trying to access your available balance from your paycheck, always leave an extra 100.00 in the account to cover any reverse and rerun transactions they do to try and make more money on fees, and when possible get with a better bank who doesn't practice banking in this manner.

if you youtube it, make sure you add "the miami heat" video
Quoting Pink.Sunshine:
Evidently its remake of an old 90s dance of the same name.
Looked on YouTube cause I was curious too and all I can think is these people have way to much time on their hands.
I've been hearing about it, and seeing the name all over the place, but I still don't know more than it's a dance...I think.
I wrote it down on the pad of paper I keep near my computer to remind myself to check it out on youtube. I never got around to it, but my daughter left me a little note next to where I wrote Harlem Shake. It said, "Mom, you're gay!! :)" She's 17, so I guess the Harlem Shake isn't cool.

Dent May, Dead Gaze, Calvin Love ☰ Powered by ADHOC.FM
285 Kent
285 Kent
Brooklyn, NY, 11211-4119
8:00 PM (event ends at 11:45 PM)
This event is all ages
Dent May writes and records homemade pop music in Mississippi, where he was born in 1985. He began songwriting at age 12. The following year, he started a band called Flood, who covered Creed and 311 and sold homemade cassettes to classmates. In high school, heavily influenced by Elvis Costello and The Cars, Dent fronted a power-pop band called The Rockwells. Feeling like an outsider in Mississippi, he retreated to the Internet, where he spent his time soaking in pop music and culture from around the globe.
After dropping out of NYU film school, Dent founded Oxford, Mississippi's self-proclaimed "infotainment cult" Cats Purring. Since then, his musical endeavors have included a debut LP of ukulele tunes on Paw Tracks, dance recordings under the Dent Sweat moniker, and a mysterious unfinished psych-country rock opera called Cowboy Maloney's Electric City. He throws notorious DIY shows at his home, a former Boys & Girls club now deemed the Cats Purring Dude Ranch.
Recent singles on Forest Family and Paw Tracks have found Dent abandoning the ukulele in favor of cosmic synths, funky guitars, analog drum machines, loopy bass lines, and massive vocal harmonies. He played all the instruments on his new album "Do Things, which was recorded at the Dude Ranch and in a friend's rural cabin by a cotton field. He has described the album as "Pet Sounds for the Smirnoff Ice generation" and "a wedding reception band on acid" via his Twitter account. "Do Things" will be released by Paw Tracks on 6/12/2012.
Coming from the hills of North Mississippi and the Cats Purring Collective (featuring prolific artists like Dent May, Bass Drum of Death and Flight), Cole Furlow has been releasing material under the guise of Dead Gaze since 2009, recently morphing into a five-piece live band. Combining effortless pop songs with recordings that put an emphasis on texture, Dead Gaze has released a slew of cassettes and 7" records on notable DIY labels like Group Tightener, Fire Talk, and Clan Destine, and received critical acclaim on sites such as Altered Zones, The Fader, and Weekly Tape Deck... Furlow explains that he records "wherever I can be alone". Whether it be in the pastoral Mississippi country where his mother lives, the State College marching band hall where his father teaches, or at the Cats Purring 'Dude Ranch' where he currently resides, his intention is always to "try to capture a very memorable moment", a spontaneous approach which home recording makes possible. The DIY ethos that goes into Furlow's recording process shouldn't feed into the lo-fi genre-trapping, though, as every sound Furlow commits to tape is deliberate. Dead Gaze's trademark over-compressed sound is one which has come from Furlow's belief in the importance of production as another instrument; "I think texture is something that is just as important as writing nice melodies and recording big songs".
This is Calvin Love: He started a punk band in the northern Canadian city of Edmonton at the age of thirteen.
This is Calvin's first foray into a solo career. Armed with a 4-track, mics, computer machine, keyboards and guitar, Calvin has laid down his debut record New Radar, due to be released this fall on Autumn Tone Records. With backing influences of pop and dance music of the 50's and 60's, as well as the punk/electronic/new wave of the late 70's and 80's, Calvin Love's music is a sonic escape into psychological mysteries and enlightened tales of love and death.
For what it's worth, Calvin's interests lie in photography, aesthetics, the paranormal, technological adaptations, pirates, The Goonies, zombie apocalypse, Jarmusch, strange states, dancing girls, sleepless nights, D.I.Y., Iggy, Bowie, tombs, hitchhiking,

Just like Facebook, Twitter has been working hard to extend and improve its advertising platform recently, including rolling out Promoted Tweets to mobile.
This is part of an effort to increase ad revenues and monetise its estimated 150m active users.
One of the key benefits Promoted Tweets offers is targeting – brands can target ads at their followers and users who may share similar interests.
However it's probably fair to say that marketers still need to be persuaded of the benefits of Twitter's ad formats.
Alchemy Social has produced the infographic below to explain how advertisers can use Twitter's targeting tools for marketing campaigns, and also to give advice on how best to incentivise the content of tweets.

A question hangs over Apple Inc.'s e-books trial: Why is Apple fighting the U.S. Department of Justice when the book publishers the agency also sued chose to settle? The answer lies in part in what's at stake. Apple says it is fighting the high-profile case, now in the hands of a federal judge, on the principle it did nothing wrong. But the company is defending a lot more than its tiny digital-books business. A win would help Apple maintain negotiating clout with media companies, which are searching for new ways to make money in markets shifting online. A loss could hamper its ability to compete with rivals like Amazon.com Inc. to land increasingly important media deals on favorable terms. The government in April charged Apple and five publishers with conspiring to drive up the price of e-books for a new offering on the iPad. The publishers all settled, while Apple, whom the government has frequently painted as the "ringmaster" of the operation, fought on. Read the rest of this post on the original site »Read More

Facebook's bolstered presence at this year's Pride reflects a larger push by some in Silicon Valley to champion gay rights in hiring practices, and even in their products Google is sending about 1,400 employees marching in San Francisco on Sunday, about 40% more than last year, according to a company spokeswoman. An Apple spokeswoman said a large group of employees will participate, though declined to provide specific details. Read the rest of this post on the original site »Read More

The Washington Post has revealed a new set of slides regarding PRISM, the government program aimed at collecting information such as emails, photos, messages and voice call data from nine of the world's largest Internet companies. The new set of slides — which come nearly one month after the original disclosure of the top-secret program by ex-N.S.A employee, whistleblower and now fugitive Edward Snowden — give greater insight into the inner workings of how the PRISM program operates. The slides include details on how an NSA analyst requests information from a particular company, the number of active surveillance targets in PRISM's database, as well as the dates the Internet companies began participating in the project. Microsoft was the first company to participate with the PRISM program, according to the slides, beginning in September of 2007. In subsequent years, other Silicon Valley mainstays such as Facebook, Google and Yahoo joined as well. The slides come as technology companies over the past few weeks have scrambled to reassure the public that their compliance with the government were only in response to reasonable requests for specific users, reviewed and occasionally challenged by internal corporate legal counsel. As a result of being unable to defend themselves from an initial wave of public outcry and misinformation, companies like Facebook, Google and Microsoft have pushed the government to allow for greater transparency in disclosures of governmental requests for user data.

Research In Motion Ltd.'s executives won't say the company's new line of BlackBerrys is a flop, but some investors have already made up their mind. The company's shares tumbled 28 percent on Friday after RIM reported it shipped far fewer new BlackBerry phones than analysts had expected in its fiscal first quarter. Chief Executive Thorsten Heins has staked the company's future on a new operating system, BlackBerry 10, which it unveiled early this year, and a bevy of phones that run off it. Many investors have bet this turnaround plan could work, sending RIM's shares up 59% in the 12 months before Friday's news. Read the rest of this post on the original site »Read More

Strange things are afoot on Instagram. The service seems to be suffering from a spam attack, spreading in the form of — get this — pictures of fruit. Users are reporting the same types of fruit photos auto-posted and appearing in their friends' Instagram feeds, with a similar caption under each one: "Ever seen this stuff? I guess it's super healthy. I'm giving it a try. I saw it on Dr. Oz's show. Link is in my bio. #lovemyfollowers #health." At this point, it's unclear how widespread the attack is, or just exactly how the problem is spreading. Instagram and Facebook have not yet responded to a request for comment. Update 12:59 pm PT : An Instagram spokeswoman responded to our request for comment with the following: "Earlier today a small portion of our users experienced a spam incident where unwanted photos were posted from their accounts. Our security and spam team quickly took actions to secure the accounts involved, and the posted photos are being deleted."

The Wired Home
Even though I try, I am not the smartest person when it comes to being green. I'll admit that sometimes I leave a light on when I'm not home or stay in the shower a bit too long. Luckily, if Wired magazine's new prefab home is a foreshadowing of the future, being eco-conscious will be self-automated. Slated to be built over three days this week in the Crestwood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, the "high design, low impact" house is full of gadgets designed to conserve energy. Conceived by internationally-renowned architect Ray Kappe and constructed by LivingHomes, features are all discreetly placed and include thermal blinds, motorized windows, self-adjusting vents and a washing machine that uses sensors to gauge the dirt level in the water so washing ends as soon as items are clean. All gadgetry is kept in order by a dashboard loaded onto a home computer that allows residents to track real-time energy use making it easy for them to gauge just how green they are being. The house will be open next month to the public, so stop by if you're in the area. Criminals be forewarned though: a Panasonic camera verifies the identity of visitors by scanning their irises.

Scene, heard
From the musicians that brought you Weener (two of them, at least) comes Bluh, a band dedicated to the music of Blur. Well, that's what we think it's called, anyway; it was late, we'd bellied up to the bar a few too many times, and we have ears worse than Willie Nelson had at the end of Barbarosa. We are sure, however, that the band includes Glen Reynolds and Matt Kellum of Chomsky, James Henderson (Legendary Crystal Chandelier, .357 Lover), and Baboon's Mark Hughes. Reynolds says that the band will concentrate more on 1993's Modern Life is Rubbish and the following year's Parklife--the albums that defined the Britpop era--rather than the band's more recent stabs at American indie rock. Not yet sure when Bluh (or whatever it's named) will debut , but sooner rather than later is the best guess. Or maybe that was just the bourbon talking...
We recently received a CD-R of the five songs that will be added to the European re-release of Pleasant Grove's debut, on Germany's Glitterhouse Records, overseas home to Austin's Knife in the Water and the Baptist Generals, among others. After only one listen, this much is clear: Suck it up, pay the import fee, and buy the Glitterhouse version of the disc. (You should already have the version Last Beat released at the tail-end of 1999.) Actually, since the songs will show up on future U.S. re-pressings of the disc, you don't have to go to all that trouble. But head to Glitterhouse's Web site (www.glitterhouse.com) anyway, and grab a copy of Joe Pernice's Big Tobacco, which hasn't found an American distributor yet. Pernice's solo bow makes the self-titled debut by his band Chappaquiddick Skyline (out earlier this year) sound happier than an eight-year-old's birthday party. And that's saying something...
The Early Lines, who released their Steve Albini-recorded debut Are Tired Beasts earlier this year, will appear on an upcoming tribute to Jonathan Richman currently being put together by Wampus Records. The disc, If I Were a Richman, is tentatively set for release October 31 and will include The Early Lines' version of "Modern World." If that's too long for you, ask the band to play it when they open for the great Jets to Brazil on September 11 at Trees. And while you're at the show, grab a copy of the Jets' latest, the just-released Four Cornered Night; it's schweet...
Speaking of Trees, the club celebrates its 10th anniversary in September, and the club has a full lineup of shows to help out. Besides Jets to Brazil, Trees will also host the return of Ugly Mustard (September 9), and shows by Trans Am (September 10), The Toadies (September 22 and 23), Suicidal Tendencies (September 29), Reverend Horton Heat and Hagfish (September 30), and Yo La Tengo (September 30). Just proves why Trees is still the best place to catch the rock...

File this under "B" for boy-who-cried-wolf: Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios apparently will open its long-long-promised bar in early October. Unfortunately, the club's booking agent/publicist, Robin Phillips, won't be around to see it, not as an employee, that is. Phillips' last day on the job will be September 3, after which she'll be replaced by Chad Ferman, a veteran of the Green Means Go! collective as well as a handful of local bands, including [DARYL] and Kid Chaos. Well, Ferman was supposed to replace Phillips: According to one of his posts on the Denton Show List, Ferman has already stepped down, after people started grumbling about conflicts of interest due to his membership in the aforementioned bands.

The Dallas date on Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes' tour, originally postponed due to Page's recent back injury, has now officially been cancelled. Seems that Page was trying to pick up the few salvageable pieces of his career, and he herniated a disc in the process. Or something like that. When he's back in fighting shape, Page reportedly will join The Jason Bonham Band for a short Holiday Inn tour, with a set list featuring only songs off Led Zeppelin's first four albums, completing his descent into one-note nostalgia act...
Either the cough syrup or the bad vision got us this time: Prize Money, the new outfit featuring the remnants of Slowpoke, will not be performing on September 1 at Trees, as was previously reported.

While we're kinda-sorta on the subject, The Polyphonic Spree has nailed down a date for its second show: September 15 at Gypsy Tea Room, with Drums and Tuba and Sub Oslo. As we mentioned earlier, the group had tentatively scheduled a September 9 gig at the Tea Room, but that has now been cancelled...
Gabby Douglas, formerly of Buck Jones, hasn't hooked up with a new band yet, although she and husband Burette Douglas sat in with the Jump Rope Girls a few weeks or months ago. But Douglas is still involved: With her friend Ronnie Childs, she's helping put together a benefit for the Lena Pope Home in Fort Worth, a foundation for abused children. The show, which features Baboon, Doosu, Pinkston, and The Morning People, happens October 14 at the Lewisville Amphitheatre. More details as the date nears...
While Red Animal War's debut album, Within the Amber on Deep Elm Records, won't be out for a while (it's set to be mastered in the next few weeks, and the artwork still hasn't been finalized), be on the lookout for an upcoming compilation from Deep Elm that may make it into stores earlier. The disc features unreleased songs by bands on its roster, including one by Red Animal War that will not be on Within the Amber. If it's the one we're thinking of, the song, called "Last Train Out," makes the compilation worth owning all by itself...

It all happens at the Good/Bad headquarters in Denton on September 2, beginning at 2 p.m. If nothing else, it's the most band for your buck.

Pirandello, Luigi 1867-1936
Italian playwright, short story writer, novelist, essayist, and poet.
One of the most important dramatists of the twentieth century, Pirandello was also a prolific writer of short stories. He planned to write a story for each day of the year and to collect them in a series entitled Novelle per un anno, intended to contain twenty-four volumes, each of which would comprise fifteen tales. In all, Pirandello succeeded in completing two hundred and thirty-three stories before his death. Through this vast body of work, he worked out in many variations the quotidian struggles of characters trying to grasp the significance of life. Early in his career Pirandello was associated with a school of regional realist writers, and many stories are set in the author's native Sicily, with vividly rendered landscapes of sun-baked fields and oppressive sulphur mines. Yet Pirandello's short stories often have a tinge of irony and absurdity as well as an intellectual complexity that sets them apart from the work of typical realist writers. The preoccupations of Pirandello's characters are generally cerebral, and the action of the stories often hinges less on action or a climactic event than on the significance of a word or gesture. Pirandello was awarded international acclaim for the philosophic probing of his plays, and the same themes are found in his short stories, many of which he subsequently adapted for the stage.
Biographical Information
Pirandello was born in Sicily to a prosperous sulphur merchant. Although his father initially sent him to study commerce at the local technical institute, Pirandello lacked interest in the subject and transferred to an academic secondary school, where he excelled in oratory and literature. He began writing at a young age, and by the time he was twelve had produced his first play, Barbaro, with siblings and friends. He also wrote poetry and fiction, publishing his first poem in 1883 and his first story a year later. After graduation, Pirandello attended universities in Palermo, Rome, and finally Bonn, where he earned a doctorate in Romance philology. He then returned to Rome, living on a remittance from his father while trying to establish himself as a writer. Here he became a member of the literary circle of Luigi Capuana. Capuana, along with another well-known Sicilian writer Giovanni Verga, followed the precepts of Émile Zola's Naturalism (verismo in Italian) and attempted through fiction to recreate the people, customs, and landscapes of their native Sicily. Though Pirandello's later theoretical writings show that his thought evolved beyond verismo, landscape remained a striking feature of his narrative works. In 1894 Pirandello's father arranged his marriage to Antonietta Portulano, the daughter of a business partner, and the couple settled together in Rome and had three children. Pirandello published his first book of short stories, Amori senza amore (Loves without Love), in 1894. Two novels followed, L'Esclusa (The Outcast), published serially in 1901, and Il Turno in 1902. Then in 1903 Pirandello suffered a dramatic financial reversal when his father's sulphur mine was destroyed in a landslide and flood. His family wealth was wiped out, and the catastophe pushed his wife into mental collapse. Antonietta never recovered, but became paranoid and delusional. Pirandello initially refused to have her hospitalized, and he took refuge from her irrational abuse by escaping to his study to write.
In 1904 Pirandello published his novel Il fu Mattia Pascal (The Late Mattia Pascal) to great acclaim, as well as a volume of short stories. More short story collections followed in 1906, 1910, 1912, 1914, and two in 1915. He also published an important critical work L'umorismo (On Humor) in 1908, and three more novels by 1916. Pirandello began to have success with his dramas also. His first full-length play was performed in 1915, and two Sicilian dialect plays, Pensaci, Giacomino! (Think It Over, Giacomino!) and Liolà, were successfully produced the next year. More plays were staged in the following years, including two which were adapted from his short fiction, Cosí è (se vi pare) (Right You Are (If You Think So)) and La patente (The License). Pirandello's reputation swelled enormously in 1921 with the Rome performance of his play Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore (Six Characters in Search of an Author). With this play and Enrico IV (Henry IV) Pirandello came to international fame. Pirandello joined the Fascist Party in 1925 and received government sponsorship to form the Art Theatre of Rome. This company toured throughout Europe and America with productions of his plays. The Art Theatre dissolved in 1928, and Pirandello's plays suffered decreasing popularity. In 1934 Pirandello was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, while that same year a Fascist claque booed his La favola del figlio cambiato (The Fable of the Changeling) off the stage in Rome. He continued to write short stories up until his death in 1936.
Major Works of Short Fiction
In all his work Pirandello probes the conflicts between reality and appearance, the individual and society, art and life. Influenced by verismo, Pirandello's early fiction unceremoniously exposes the lives of villagers—miners, clerics, olive farmers, an old man captured by bandits, distressed brides and widows—and highlights salient features of Sicilian society: strict Catholicism, an uncompromising code of honor, well-defined social roles, and an underlying violent temperament. He skillfully described the landscape and inhabitants of Sicily in a naturalistic style while simultaneously commenting on the paradoxical and contradictory aspects of life and the restrictions of social identity. Later stories are more overtly philosophical. "Canta l'epistola" ("He Who Chants the Epistle") describes a youth who, after losing his faith in God, develops pantheistic love for a blade of grass. The enormity of the universe and the folly of ordinary people are described through the eyes of the boy, whose behavior—incomprehensible to others—leads to his death. Other stories, such as "War" from The Medals, and Other Stories, are masterpieces of dialogue, with little physical description or narration. The verbal interplay of the characters is so highly developed that Pirandello was able to fashion plays out of some short stories with only minor alterations. The fiction from Pirandello's last years differ from his earlier work. Pirandello toured the world with his theater company, and some later stories are set outside his native Italy, most notably in New York. His very last stories are also surreal and metaphysical. In the story "All'uscita" ("At the Gate"), the dead souls of a philosopher and an obese man converse. The philosopher, as in life, philosophizes, and the stout man too is still interested in the preoccupations of his former life. In Pirandello's last story, "Una giornata" ("A Day"), the narrator lives an entire life in a single, bewildering day, from a strange birth in a train station to old age and death in a dusty armchair. In these final stories Pirandello abandoned his preoccupation with factual reality to explore psychological and metaphysical issues.
Critical Reception
Pirandello achieved fame because of his plays, and his reputation still rests principally on his dramatic works. The majority of critical studies since his death have concentrated on his plays, yet he was a popular short story writer in Italy in his day. Many of his stories were first published in daily newspapers, where his novels were also serialized. His short fiction began to appear in English in the 1930s, when his international reputation as a play-wright increased interest in his career. However, no new English translation has appeared since 1965. Pirandello wrote enough for two careers, one as a playwright, one as an author of fiction, and the immense success of his dramas is at least partially responsible for the relative neglect shown his short stories by general readers.

[In the following review, the critic extols the collection Better Think Twice about It.]
Thirteen stories from Signor Pirandello's vast output of tales are included in [Better Think Twice about It]. Almost all of them are scenes of Sicilian life, humorous or tragic; and one would have been glad to see some of the other stories, which are equally characteristic and contain many germs of Signor Pirandello's later plays. Nevertheless, this small selection illustrates his mastery of the short story, the queer twist of his humour and the grimness of his tragedy....

The twelve stories which comprise [The Naked Truth, and Eleven Other Stories] have been selected from the series by Luigi Pirandello called Novelle per un Anno. In adopting what is the title of the second piece as a caption for the collection the translators chose wisely.

It is probably to the Nobel Prize judges that we owe most of our thanks for getting another batch of Pirandello stories so soon after the appearance of that superb collection The Naked Truth, but a very special bow should be reserved for the publishers, the translators, or whoever selected the contents of [Better Think Twice about It].

Strange and eerie, as is everything written by Luigi Pirandello, fabricator of that compelling drama Six Characters in Search of an Author, and of As You Desire Me, which also was put upon the screen, this new culling [The Medals, and Other Stories] from his two hundred short stories is as provocative as all that has gone before.

Before Pirandello ever wrote a play, he wrote poetry and short stories. The form his thoughts took at their grandest and most expressive—as in Six Characters in Search of an Author and Henry IV—was clearly foreshadowed in the dramatic juxtapositions which characterize his stories, and the tone of the plays at their best has the thin, pure echo...

Most volumes of short stories involve for the reviewer a built-in hazard in that space forbids the particular comment and justice the general. However, these twenty-two stories [in Short Stories by Pirandello] mitigate the difficulty because Pirandello's preoccupation in them, as in his plays and novels, is remarkably constant. Human experience, as he saw it, is at best ironic, at worst not quite tragic, but rather...

It would be difficult to determine what influence if any Pirandello had on the modern existentialists.

One of the least known among the many short stories that Luigi Pirandello published in literary magazines around the turn of the century and started issuing in book-length collections from 1901 on is the one titled "Canta l'Epistola" ("He-who-intones-the-Epistle"), a phrase which is the nickname of the defrocked seminarian who is the hero of the little story.

[In the following excerpt, Chomel discusses Pirandello's treatment of the theme of time in several of his short stories. ]
The Pirandellian man, trapped in the flux of time, condemned to endure an incessant chain of transformations, vainly tries to resist time and fix himself in a lasting form. Institutions, traditions, social masks, even prejudices and hypocrisy are but devices he uses in his attempt to stop the flow of time.

[In the following essay, Rauhut analyses the structure, theme, and literary devices of Pirandello's story "The Rose. "]
Because of its significant human value, Pirandello's short story "La rosa" ("The Rose"), first published in La Lettura in November 1914, merits an aesthetic analysis.

[In this excerpt, Radcliff-Umstead employs two examples, "The Journey" and "Happiness," to illustrate his assertion that Pirandello 's focus in his stories is "the failure or success of his fictional characters to reach an accord with life. "]
Before his death Pirandello hoped to write a novella for each day of the year and to gather them in the series Novelle per un anno (Stories for a year). By 1937, the year after the writer's death, fifteen volumes had appeared in print. In all the author...

[In the following essay, Vitti-Alexander maintains that a symbolic connection exists between Pirandello's characters and nature as it is depicted in his stories.]
In the preface to Six Characters in Search of an Author, Pirandello calls himself a philosophical writer because he aims to give his "figure, vicende, paesaggi" (characters, vicissitudes, landscapes) a universal value, a "patricolare senso della vita" (a particular sense of life).

[In the following excerpt, Di Paolo assesses Pirandello's characterizations of women in his short stories, finding them stereotypical and limited in variety. ]
When reading Pirandello's novelle (and his other works as well), we become more and more convinced that his female characters convey traditional myths, which can broadly be so identified: woman as Flesh, as Nature, as Muse. Under these categories we encounter images of women in a variety of roles common to a male-dominated tradition. The most...

You should never use an ice scraper on windshields or tempered glass.
Now as for durability it's kind of luck-of-the-draw as to how long your windshield lasts. Modern unibody car windshields are thinner to reduce weight.
Since Unibody car bodies flex more they are prone to crack out quicker when hit with a rock.
My 2007 Focus with 70,000 miles had the original glass up untill the day I Traded it for the 2012.
Most Carlite is Manufactured in their Nashville plant. But they also subcontract out to other manufacturers to keep up with demand. Sekurit-Saint Gobain and Crinamex are just to name a couple. Both are quality brands.
Ford Owns Carlite. Most other car manufacturers don't make their own glass including Mopar(Fiat) and Mercedes.
PPG, Now called PGW was one of my top 5 choices for glass but recently their quality for windshields and tempered glass have serverely dropped mainly because their plants in China SUCK. PGW is also subbing their work to XYG Glass(XYG, an unpronounceable chinese name)
Next to Safelite Glass(Safelite makes their own glass) XYG is the worst.
If you don't go with Carlite my next choice would be FY glass(FUYAO Glass)5 years ago I hated it but it is has improved 100% since then! It's made in China but it's quality is far superior to PPG. It's OE now for many Asian and European cars such as Hyundai, Bentley, Audi, PACCAR, and has been recognised by Ford. Guardian is another excellent brand but I don't see much of that.

The number posted earlier in the thread (which is stamped on the bottom of the tray) is NOT the part number, it is a design/engineering number, which they apparently cannot use to track it down. My local dealers response was "bring in the part and I can try to locate it"
Steve actually did some research after asking me to send him the thread with the photos and he managed to track it down for me. Well worth the price which was $21.51 total (I found my invoice for it)
The picture of the bag with the part number is the number you want to give him.

A-Train Riders Stranded On Sunday, Monday During Heat Wave
The A-train left lots of people stranded and sweaty last Sunday and Monday, when equipment problems flared up during the summer's first heat wave.
Service was halted for two and a half hours on Sunday, after the Beach Channel Railroad Bridge got stuck in the open position. The breakdown happened mid-afternoon, when there was still a lot of beach traffic riding the rails.
Masses of people were seen walking along Cross Bay Boulevard in Broad Channel in the sweltering heat. Groups of beachgoers were seen marching down Noel Road carrying their coolers, tote bags and towels. Many of them decided to keep on going because shuttle buses were delayed by more than an hour. Some of those who stayed behind eventually got fired up by the unexpected delay and tried to stop other buses passing them by.
The MTA said nobody was trapped in train cars on Sunday but passengers did get stuck between stops when the intense summer heat caused an equipment failure Monday and the second service stoppage in as many days. Seventy people were stuck inside train cars from about 12:45 p.m. to about 3 p.m., when a Manhattan-bound A-train stopped suddenly between the Beach 67 Street and the Broad Channel stations. The train came to rest just short of the railroad bridge, which spans Jamaica Bay and caused the trouble on Sunday.
Once again, people were seen marching towards Rockaway. The Wave spotted one determined surfer who was walking over the Cross Bay Bridge with his board under his arm.
An MTA representative told The Wave that a section of the third rail buckled due to extreme temperatures caused by the heat wave. Passengers were escorted to the front of the train, onto the tracks, and down a set of service stairs at the Beach 81 Street station that are normally used by Transit Authority workers. The NYPD's Emergency Service Unit assisted with the evacuation.
Chikeyta Pickens of Rosedale was stranded twice in Monday's intense heat.
"It had to be at least 99 degrees," said Pickens, who was traveling from Brooklyn to Rockaway on a Lefferts Boulevard A-train. She realized her commute was going off the rails when she had an extra-long wait at the Rockaway Boulevard station. She finally caught a Far Rockaway A-train and then joined over 60 people who were waiting on the platform in Broad Channel for the Shuttle to Rockaway.
Pickens said it didn't help that service was still running in the opposite direction, as "three trains passed us on the opposite side of the tracks." But it wasn't a total loss; Pickens relayed a warning to a relative who avoided the mess by taking a cab and two buses out of Rockaway. As for Pickens herself, she said, "I'm prepared for anything."

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Senior Evan King (Chicago, Ill./Kaplan) of the University of Michigan men's tennis team is among the top American collegians selected to represent the United States in the seventh annual Master'U BNP Paribas, an international collegiate team competition to be held Dec. 5-9 in Aix-en-Provence, France.
King, the fourth-ranked singles player in the country, is one of only six student-athletes selected to lead the United States in the eight-nation competition that includes college and university players from around the world. Virginia senior Jarmere Jenkins and USC junior Ray Sarmiento join King as representatives on the men's side, while Arizona State's Jacqueline Cako, Florida's Lauren Embree and USC's Zoe Scandalis are the women's participants.
The six-person team will be coached by Boise State head men's tennis coach Greg Patton and Cal head women's tennis coach Amanda Augustus. The U.S., which defeated France to win both the 2009 and 2011 titles, will be competing for the fifth consecutive year against a field that includes Belgium, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland and Russia. The teams will compete in a best-of-seven format consisting of two men's and two women's singles matches, one men's and one women's doubles match and one mixed doubles match.
King finished last season with a career-best 34-7 record. He was named the 2012 Big Ten Athlete of the Year after posting a perfect 11-0 conference dual record from the No. 1 singles position. King went 3-3 in singles competition this fall and posted a 3-2 doubles record with teammate Shaun Bernstein (Plainview, N.Y./Plainview HS).
The Wolverines recently concluded their fall schedule. Michigan returns to action following the New Year, heading to the Key Biscayne Individuals Jan. 6-8 in Key Biscayne, Fla. U-M opens its dual-match season on Saturday, Jan. 19, when the Wolverines host TCU at 6 p.m. at the Varsity Tennis Center.

Undoubtedly some sort of big goal lies in front of you. Maybe it's a dream—something you long to do. Or maybe it's more of a calling—something you may or may not want to do, yet it still feels like an unmistakable inner tug. You know you should progress. But you don't know how. And the destination feels far off. Even just starting seems hard. What then? Here are three simple words that will launch you toward your goal.
Consider this your call to action.

I recommend that you use -mfx2- by Richard W. or -margeff-by Tamas Bartus.
Both are available from SSC. This is explainedin the help file (-help outreg2-).
sysuse auto, clear
mlogit rep turn mpg price
outreg2 using myfile, replace long cttop(coefficient)
mfx2, replace
outreg2 using myfile, see long cttop(mfx)
outreg2 has its own -mfx- option, but not anything comparable.
It was put in there just so we don't have to hear from people who
liked to talk about it.
