Monday Questionnaire!
I really like the idea of weekly random questions/lists... I'm trying to think up a way I could do that for this blog. Ideas? Suggestions?
On to the poll! (Click here to read Karen's original poll post for this week)
1. Mood:
Stressed. A little anxious. It's coming to that point in the semester where the workload is starting to pile on and I have a lot of things to balance on my plate. Additionally, there are a few things on my "to-do" list this week that have me a little nervous. I'm crossing my fingers that all goes well.
2. Did you look as stylish as these Gap kids when you were a kid?
This refers to a photo Karen put in her original post (linked above). And no, I was nowhere near as stylish as those Gap kids. My outfit at that age consisted of bright purple stirrup leggings and a multicolor striped t-shirt.
3. Do you feel your workplace is well organized right now?
I do in fact! I have recently made it a rule for myself that I must spend 5 minutes every night cleaning/tidying up before I go to bed. In theory, this should make my room spotless all the time, because I shouldn't be doing more than 5 minutes worth of room destruction per day. So far, it's working!
4. What's one of your simplest pleasures?
Hallmark Channel original movies :)
5. Would you spend $125 on the NARS Bento Box?
Well right now I'm on a Project X Pan, which means I wouldn't spend $1 on that box, but even if I wasn't Project Panning at the moment, I still don't think it's worth $125. I'm just not that big of a lipstick girl. Maybe, MAYBE, if it was really cool eyeshadows. (Click here to check out the box if you haven't seen it already!)
6. Cold season's coming. Do you have any tips/tricks to stay healthy?
Exercise and eat right! I swear that fends off illness better than anything. And obviously, wash your hands and don't makeout with everyone and their mom. But that's a given, right?
7. Are you loving any accessories at the moment?
My Charlotte Russe bangle/pearl bracelet set. It's the perfect feminine touch to virtually any outfit!
8. Do you make snap decisions, or do you always think things through?
I usually think things through. I hate the feeling of regretting a decision, you know?
9. Today's outfit?
Forever 21 skinny jeans, American Apparel Tri-Indigo Deep V-Neck Tee, flip flops.
10. Weekly goals:
Go to all of my classes (this hasn't happened for a while now)! Film several videos, including a vlog video. Keep dragging myself to the gym before class in the morning, Hollaween is only 2 weeks away... no time for slacking in the physical department right now!
That's all of the questions! Feel free to answers these in a comment below or over on Karen's blog. And if you have any ideas for a way to have my own weekly questionnaire on this blog, let me know!
xx, Allison

Hi Allison! Questionnaires are fun! Here I go!ReplyDelete
1. Mood: Very, very, couldn't be more stressed! I have this huge, (literally) life-changing exam around mid-November and I already feel that I won't have time to go over everything I want.
2. Gap kids: Nowhere near... More like the complete opposite!
3. Workplace: Nope. Everything is messy because I feel like I'm losing time tidying up when I should be studying although I'm sure I'd study better if everything was organised (sigh...) =P
4. Pleasures: Burning a candle and reading a good book in Winter time
5. Nars Bento Box: Doesn't float my boat.
6. Healthy during Winter: Nothing fancy. Mostly getting to the gym and having the tiniest of portions of high calorie treats.
7. Accessories. A ring I wear all the time. It was a gift and I love it to pieces.
8. Decisions. Over-thinker all the way through.
9. Outfit. Sweatpants, t-shirt, hoodie, socks =P Staying in today!
10. Weekly goals. Get all of my planned studying done. And after answering this, getting some time aside to tidy up stuff =)
As for ideas on the polls: 10 questions = 10 sections, 5 should be constant and 5 random ones each week what do you say? The first 5 maybe include 1. outfit (it's fun to read what people are wearing) 2. best/worst moment of the week 3. product (any kind) you're obsessed about 4. name something that caught your eye this week =)
Maybe the random ones should go around books, tv series, anything you like really =)
Hope you like some of these ideas!
'Til next time!
1. Mood: So stressed...I feel like I never relax...college is so overwhelming...ReplyDelete
2. Gap kids: No I didn't...and I still don't :D
3. Workplace: It's pretty clean right now...I'm amazed because I'm such a clutter bug
4. Pleasures:Sleeping...and watching cheesy movies
5. Nars Bento Box: Hard to get in Germany so...no..besides it's rediculous to pay that amount.
6. Healthy during Winter:Fruit...lots of Fruit
7. Accessories. I don't actually wear accesoires
8. Decisions. Depends on the subject...when it comes to buying stuff I'm not a big thinker...but for the real important things I think a lot about those
9. Outfit. Jeans and a sweater
10. Weekly goals.Getting all my homework done.
1.Mood: Stressed, midterms:(ReplyDelete
2.Gap Kids: Probably not, but my mom did dress me pretty cute(:
3.Workplace: Ehhh it's okay, it could be neater
4. Pleasures: Burning candles & listening to christmas music
5. Nars Bento Box: No way, it doesn't even look great!
6. Healthy Tips: as you said eat right and exercise daily! I am keeping a food journal right now to keep me on track. & lots lots lots of water
7. Accessories: I wear my eye necklace everyday, it is like my signature necklace, that I always get compliments on.
8.Decisions: I always think things through, I have a hard time making decisions! haha
9.Outfit: Well it's raining pretty hard outside so I am wearing: gray skinnys, black tee, light blue(PINK) jacket, black leather jacket over it, and polka dot rain boots! This may seem excessive but hey i am a california girl so a little rain comes & I think it is freezing!! hahaha
10.Weekly Goals: FInish lit essay, ace stats midterm, and finish my application for the honors program!
on #7 I meant KEY necklace(: eye hahaReplyDelete
1. Mood:ReplyDelete
Super anxious. Car is in the shop, apparently it's done for. But the big thing is that a bunch of my schoolwork is in it and I have to loose some points on a project :(
2. Did you look as stylish as these Gap kids when you were a kid?
Hell no. I wore those matching floral shirt and legging combos. And big white sneakers. I was a hot mess.
3. Do you feel your workplace is well organized right now?
Actually yes! I just cleaned it the other day. Not the drawers though. We don't go in there.
4. What's one of your simplest pleasures?
My fuzzy pink throw blanket.
5. Would you spend $125 on the NARS Bento Box?
Absolutely not. I find lip products generally too high-maintenance so it's just not worth it for me. MAYBE if it was eyeshadow or a full makeup kit.
6. Cold season's coming. Do you have any tips/tricks to stay healthy?
Chicken broth. It's high in sodium, sure. But if you have it a couple days a week its DELICIOUS and warm and yummy, and you aren't really eating a big "comfort food" meal.
7. Are you loving any accessories at the moment?
This cool layered necklace I got from H&M that's mixed with gold and pearls and really cute cameos. I got matching earrings too.
8. Do you make snap decisions, or do you always think things through?
I try and think everything through but if something is stressing me out too much I just make a snap decision.
9. Today's outfit?
Charlotte Russe jeans, long tunic tank top, black AE v-neck hoodie and my uggs.
10. Weekly goals:
Figure out this car business, don't miss any classes, and make a good impression at my new job.
Lol, looks like everyone is super stressed right now--including me. SO MUCH school work/projects due and I procrastinate entirely too much..huge problem. (and doing this is furthering it!) :)
2. Did you look as stylish as these Gap kids when you were a kid?
No, not in the least bit. Mom dressed me in those neon-like stirrup pants too. And I wasn't seen without my saddle shoes..I even had them in different colors. Apparently Mom thought they were the coolest things ever.
3. Do you feel your workplace is well organized right now?
Okay, so I mostly decided to fill this out after I read your response..I just recently started doing that 'tidying up' my room thing too! & it has made such a difference! :)
4. What's one of your simplest pleasures?
Taking the longest and hottest showers I possibly can without worrying about the water bill. Lol-I go to a university where I pay $45,000 a year; it can't hurt to waste a little water, right? :)
5. Would you spend $125 on the NARS Bento Box?
No way..Although I'm beauty-obsessed, this would never happen. I don't even own anything from MAC :( I just don't have the means to do so. Settling with drugstore products will have to do for now!
6. Cold season's coming. Do you have any tips/tricks to stay healthy?
I've recently became obsessed with drinking water w/ lemon. I even put little slices into my bottled water--it's said to have many benefits, keeps me vitamin C-packed, and tastes yummy! :)And of course, exercise!
7. Are you loving any accessories at the moment?
I'm really not an accessories-type of girl. I love the whole look, but I guess I just don't think I can pull most pieces off. I do, though, always have some kind of studs in my ears; never take off my infinity heart necklace my boyfriend got me, and my diamond & tanzanite ring I designed 4 years ago-& I'm still in love with it! :)
8. Do you make snap decisions, or do you always think things through?
Ahh! Both? lol Sometimes I can never make a decision, while other times I'm super impulsive and just snap off at random.
9. Today's outfit?
Simple skinnies, and a loose-fitting gray AE tee with a little pocket on the top-left side, & my Candies padova sandals :)
10.Weekly Goals: Finish off this week SANE! lol Getting through Wednesday is just my main goal right now--so much is due on ONE day!
Have a great week Allison! :)
1.Mood: A little bit stressed I guess (but over moving not school).ReplyDelete
2. Did you look as stylish as these Gap kids when you were a kid? I wish. Lol. I grew up in the early 80's so it was neon pants and wild patterns all around.
3. Do you feel your workplace is well organized right now? It usually is but with the move I have no idea where anything is anymore! I've never felt so disorganized.
4. What's one of your simplest pleasures? Dancing with the Stars...or is that a guilty pleasure?!
5. Would you spend $125 on the NARS Bento Box? Seriously, no.
6. Cold season's coming. Do you have any tips/tricks to stay healthy? I do, but I won't say. However most illness is in your head. Seriously try telling yourself you're not sick next time :)
7. Are you loving any accessories at the moment? My wedding ring is always on. Other than that I'm rockin' a long chained owl necklace.
8. Do you make snap decisions, or do you always think things through? It depends, but if you ask my husband it's a snap decision. :)
9. Today's outfit? Hubby's old white tee, Ann Taylor Loft Modern Slims, and bare feet (it's still surprisingly that warm here).
10.Weekly Goals: Finish painting my master bath and then get a little re-organized! *crosses fingers* :)
Have a good week and get to class! Lol :)

As the title says anyone done it? It's done 102k miles so i'm beginning to save my money for it lol.
what bhp gain can you get out of a new turbo without putting the engine etc under too much stress.
As the title says anyone done it? It's done 102k miles so i'm beginning to save my money for it lol.

You will be best to speak to a turbo specialist on this one, I personally don't know of any and it's not really my area of expertise either unfortunately.
I don't suppose that you know anyone i can contact, most i have contacted already do not do decent uprated turbo's.
Many Thanks.
take a look at these for diesel tuning.
this is a company wich has an outlet in derby that does ecu remaps wich you would need for the larger turbo.
if you need any more info just let me know and ill sort it out.
Try these guys. We use them at work and i have no complaints with them
Sorted me out well with a T28 turbo for my mates nissan
Give them a ring, they are very helpful
It wont be as simple as just slapping on a bigger turbo and getting more power instantly.
You need to work out what you want from the car ie more power or better response. A bigger turbo on its own will likely not improve the power and the response will suffer due to increased turbo lag.
In order to get more power from a bigger turbo you will need to up the boost level - how will you do that?
Upping the boost will mean the car needs to flow more fuel so it doesn't run lean which will cause det so how much more fuel will your injectors flow before the reach their max duty cycle? Remember its unwise to run them much past 80% duty cycle, this leave you a safety buffer.
What will you do with the ecu? You will somehow need to get it to put more fuel through the injectors - will a remap suffice or will it need a piggyback or even a replacement EMS?
Will your engines internals i.e. rods and pistons be able to handle the increased temperatures and pressures caused by upping the boost or will they have to be replaced with forged items?
By the way I have no idea what the solutions to these questions are on a BMW but they are some of the things that you will need to think about before you shell out your "hard earned" on a new turbo.
No 1: diesel's dont det, they are also very strong & can handle huge boost, about the only thing that kills a diesel is exhaust gas temps. BUT most deisels are set up to run lean to help reduice smoke/emissions so will need bigger injectors & some kind of piggyback/stand alone ecu! for BIG power increace. not many people deal with diesel tuning past a re-map, did some research into this a while ago when the turbo needed replacing on my mated L200 he wanted more power but the cost of engine management put him off and he went for standard replacement and a remap & de-cat for a little more power.

st: double-click on dta file does not work
Sat, 22 Aug 2009 22:32:47 +0200
Sorry for the potential repost. Have sent the email accidentally in html.
Hi all,
I have Stata 10 installed on my Vista machine. When i click on a .dta
file, Stata does not open the file. Instead, Stata gives the following
error message:
"unrecognized command: "C:\Users\ invalid command name
(I can open .dta file without any problems from within Stata through
the "open file" dialog).
I have had no such problems on my previous computer, which was an XP
machine, so I guess that this is a Vista issue.
Does anyone have a solution?
I am really grateful for any help.

The limited luminance range of traditional displays means that their visibility is compromised under bright ambient lighting conditions. One solution has been to increase the contrast range and overall luminance of displays. We investigated the effect of exploiting the increased available luminance range in high-bright displays on the viewing experience, in terms of both clarity and comfort. Participants were asked to rate the clarity and comfort of photographs, text, and square- wave gratings, under a range of luminance levels and contrasts. Increasing contrast increased the comfort and clarity of photographs and text. For square-wave gratings increasing contrast increased clarity but decreased comfort. These results suggest that exploiting the full dynamic range of high-bright displays creates clearer and more comfortable results, provided that the images are designed so as not to be inherently uncomfortable.

Lupe Fiasco & Charlie Wilson in the studio
Me and Uncle Charles!…#TY…Wooh! @imcharliewilson
Via Lupe's IG, the #TY indicates that this is a studio session for Tetsuo & Youth. Wow, would this be a great collab or what? I can't get Charlie's performance in "Bound 2" out of my head and when you mix that with the caliber of what Lupe can do… "Wooh!" indeed. Hopefully this is indeed the case…
UPDATE: It is. Charlie Wilson tweeted out this pic below too. Exciting!

Objet : [mg32795] Stumped again on a simple list
Greetings cypherers all,
I make a simple list ii and I find I can make other lists easily by
algebraic moves like
jj=ii/2, etc. But when I want make a new list which splits two different
formula, I'm stumped.
Here's a stripped down version to illustrate my problem. I want to use the
value in the original
array to determine how to make the new array. The If[] is the only thing I
can find to make
this decision. But, it seems I'm not even close when I try:
I've looked around a good bit but have not stumbled into any topic that
appears to bear on this problem.
Can I please ask a kind soul to (again) point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Rob

Keeping them coming back, year after year
One good fishing experience can keep them coming back for years — and years.
Bruce Meinz, one of our guides, was out with a customer earlier this summer who hadn't been to the lakes area, but had been to other places in our beautiful state to fish.
This particular customer was so impressed with his experience — compared to his past fishing experience — that I would guess this will be their new destination.
A quality fishing trip means a whole heck of a lot. And it means a lot to our area. They fish, they eat, they shop, they go to movies, they drink, they rent boats, they golf, they spend money and, of course, they sleep a bit.
Not all of my fishing trips have been fairytale trips, but a good fishing experience can sure lead people right back to our area year after year.
We have had a good season, and now that the walleyes are starting to be a little more interested in our minnows, things are going to get really fun. Jingles the fish is out there to be had and we are going after her this fall. I will keep you posted.
Also, Tim Hankse, another Walleyedan guide, put one of his customers on a 40-inch northern this week. It came out of Wilson Bay on Gull Lake, and I hear the smile from the elderly gal was awesome.

A Northland skydive company is under investigation for allegedly under-recording weights of customers taking part in tandem jumps.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has been contacting former customers of the Kerikeri-based Skydive Zone Bay of Islands, which was put into liquidation since the alleged wrongdoing occurred, to see if their weight matches that recorded on its tandem registration forms.
The forms are documents pilots use to make sure their aircraft are operating within their weight and balance limits.
The new operators, Skydive Bay of Islands, say they have already had an all-clear from the CAA.
Skydiving operators are required to weigh all passengers and crew to ensure the plane does not exceed its maximum takeoff weight and is balanced.
An investigation into a 2010 skydiving crash at Fox Glacier, which killed nine people, found the aircraft had exceeded its maximum weight.
In an email sent out to customers last week, CAA support officer Cristy Cable said the investigation was launched due to concerns that staff at the former company were allegedly under-recording passenger weights.
Of two customers known to the Advocate, one had her weight accurately recorded as 56kg ahead of a January jump but another had his weight listed as 63kg when he was in fact at least 78kg, 15kg heavier.
The customer, who did not want to be named, said he was reluctant to reply to the CAA's inquiry - but would have felt bad if something had later gone wrong. He assumed his weight had been altered so he could jump with his partner. They had shared a plane with two instructors and a pilot.
A CAA spokesman said the agency did not comment on investigations while they were in progress.
Skydive Bay of Islands director Hamish Funnell said Skydive Zone's liquidation in June was an opportunity for his Taupo-based firm to expand into the Bay of Islands.
Its first jump was on September 1.
Skydive Zone's plane and parachutes were taken to Taupo for checking by the firm's in-house inspectors, who cleared some gear and retired the rest. The CAA had inspected and approved the aircraft.
Mr Funnell said his company prided itself on being a step ahead of safety regulations.
It was the only firm in the North Island to meet new CAA rules as soon as they came into force last year, he said.
The new adventure aviation rules required parachute operators to be certified in the same way as small airlines.
The now liquidated Skydive Zone Bay of Islands operated out of Kerikeri Airport and offered New Zealand's highest tandem jump, from 19,500ft.
Owner Gavin Horrell is understood to have returned to the UK.

Central Montcalm second at CSAA golf championship
BIG RAPIDS — Big Rapids' girls golf team showed again why they were the best team in the Central State Activities Association.
The Cardinals won the league championship by shooting a 395 to win the CSAA Championship meet Tuesday.
Not only that but Big Rapids had all four spots on the all-conference first team to themselves after finishing just under a 2,000 score for all the jamborees combines.
Central Montcalm was second at the Tuesday meet with a 450, their second-best score of the season, behind only a 438 they shot at the Chippewa Hills jamboree.
The Green Hornets finished with a 2,317 team score for the matches.
"Here we go again. I don't think we've played our best year," Central Montcalm coach Gary Buchholz said. "I think I have two or three girls that could shoot under 100. We've got enough players that we can push it down below 400. That's our goal."
Central was led by Tawny Graves with a 109. She was second-team all-conference as was Samantha Kirk, who carded a 111. Eva Miller added a 114 and Jillian Partlo added a 116.
"The one side (of the course) it seems like it was fairly tight and it got them (Central) in trouble," Buchholz said. "Usually you can go on the scorecard and find one hole where they didn't play well. That will jump their scores up."
Buchholz said the Cardinals won because of their experience.
"I've got a young team. They are four sophomores and a freshman in there," he said. "Experience-wise that's where Big Rapids had us. They had a pretty solid team. They shot around 400 all year. That's where we're headed. That's what we're trying to do."
Lakeview was trying to field a team but couldn't, as coach Jerry Kellogg had only one girl out of five able to play Tuesday, and that was Ally Fleck with a 126.
"Very tough. It was hard," Kellogg said of having only one eligible player to play. "We've got a good team coming up. The girls almost improved 140 strokes from last year. I was really thinking we were going to be strong."
Both Kellogg and Buchholz are looking towards the regionals Oct. 11.
"We have to practice for regionals on Thursday and then we'll see where we stand," Kellogg said. "We've got some real good girls with Katie Thebo. She's improved about 40 strokes. Hannah Estelle has improved a good 30 strokes. Shianne Johnson has improved almost 80 strokes and Emily Larson has improved 70 strokes. They're coming. We have three freshmen and three sophomores and two juniors and we're going to be strong next year."
In fact, Central will play at the site of the regionals, Eagle Glen Golf Course in Farwell, on Thursday for a tournament Farwell is hosting. Then it's preparation for regionals.

The Brick Moon and Other Stories HTML version
The Brick Moon
[From the papers of Captain FREDERIC INGHAM.]
I have no sort of objection now to telling the whole story. The subscribers, of course,
have a right to know what became of their money. The astronomers may as well know all
about it, before they announce any more asteroids with an enormous movement in
declination. And experimenters on the longitude may as well know, so that they may act
advisedly in attempting another brick moon or in refusing to do so.
It all began more than thirty years ago, when we were in college; as most good things
begin. We were studying in the book which has gray sides and a green back, and is called
"Cambridge Astronomy" because it is translated from the French. We came across this
business of the longitude, and, as we talked, in the gloom and glamour of the old South
Middle dining-hall, we had going the usual number of students' stories about rewards
offered by the Board of Longitude for discoveries in that matter,-- stories, all of which, so
far as I know, are lies. Like all boys, we had tried our hands at perpetual motion. For me,
I was sure I could square the circle, if they would give me chalk enough. But as to this
business of the longitude, it was reserved for Q.[1] to make the happy hit and to explain it
to the rest of us.

You know then, dear world, that when you look at the North Star, it always appears to
you at just the same height above the horizon or what is between you and the horizon: say
the Dwight School-house, or the houses in Concord Street; or to me, just now, North
College. You know also that, if you were to travel to the North Pole, the North Star
would be just over your head. And, if you were to travel to the equator, it would be just
on your horizon, if you could see it at all through the red, dusty, hazy mist in the north, as
you could not. If you were just half-way between pole and equator, on the line between
us and Canada, the North Star would be half-way up, or 45@ from the horizon. So you
would know there that you were 45@ from the equator. Then in Boston, you would find
it was 42@ 20' from the horizon. So you know there that you are 42@ 20' from the
equator. At Seattle again you would find it was 47@ 40' high, so our friends at Seattle
know that they are at 47@ 40' from the equator. The latitude of a place, in other words, is
found very easily by any observation which shows how high the North Star is; if you do

Perceptions of public security and crime in the Kathmandu Valley
Recent media reports suggest a growing trend of criminal violence, especially in the Kathmandu Valley, the largest urban area in Nepal. However, little research has been undertaken to understand what factors are fuelling crime, violence and insecurity.
This research seeks to take the first step in filling this information gap, and provide an initial analysis of different stakeholders' perceptions of crime, violence and insecurity at the community level in the Kathmandu Valley in the post-conflict era. It aims primarily to inform policy and programming of key stakeholders involved in public security, crime and conflict prevention in Kathmandu Valley, and to stimulate a discussion that might lead to more in-depth research and analysis being carried out. Findings are largely drawn from the perceptions and attitudes of communities, security agencies, civil society, government and the private sector gathered through focus group discussions and interviews, but also secondary data, such as media reports and police crime statistics where relevant.
The key findings outlined in this briefing, based on the perceptions of research participants, include:
1) the continued role that political youth wings play in undermining security in the post-conflict era,
2) a growth in the prevalence of organised crime,
3) threats to personal safety posed by an increase in randomly targeted violent crime,
4) emergence of newly formed criminal groups
5) tensions between 'original' inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley and 'rural-urban migrants which are undermining people's perceptions of public security.
The briefing is available in English and Nepali.

We have identified more than 102 goondas [hooligans] who disrupt our district's law and order and almost all of them are politically affiliated. They disrupt our business through bandahs, target business people for abduction and kidnapping, incite trade unions and communities to protest unnecessarily and demand large sums of money in the name of 'donations'.

Fund for the Republic Morning Session 1/22/1963
This episode is from the WNYC archives. It may contain language which is no longer politically or socially appropriate.
10th annual convocation of the Fund for the Republic Morning.
The sessions theme is the "Concentration of private power" and how these powers effect the economy and the society.
Speakers include: Adolf A. Berle and Walter Reuther; comment by economists: Arthur Burns and Robert Heilbroner. Secretary Willard Wirtz also speaks.
Berle speaks first, following a very impressive introduction. He believes in private power and advocates greater control. He speaks about the past, when private power was held by either the state or the church - this changed in the late 18th century. Colonial life in the United States created a large nation of small land owners. Discussion of free market. Description of the industrial market running as a free market and eventually as a monopoly. The economy then became an oligopoly. Mid-20th century sees the government oversight increasing.
Also makes references to political rights to vote, assemble and other protections of the democratic process.
Next, Walter Reuther speaks. He speaks of the challenges of peace. Discusses current cold war climate. Discussion of improvement of society through economic planning. Discusses the complex powers of the concentration of private wealth.
Discussion of unions - discusses irrationality of collective bargaining.
Other speakers respond to these talks.

Iran News Round Up
A selection of the latest news stories and articles published in Iranian news outlets, compiled by AEI Critical Threats Analysts.
A selection of the latest news stories and editorials published in Iranian news outlets, compiled by Ali Alfoneh, Ahmad Majidyar and Michael Rubin. To receive this daily newsletter, please subscribe online.
(E) = Article in English
- Farda News releases a backgrounder on Sadeq Mahsouli, Islamic Resistance Front leader: "He, who has been a friend and close confidante of Dr. Ahmadinejad since his presence in West Azerbaijan province, is trying to play a role different than the one he played during the ninth presidential election. This time, he has taken the leadership of a group, some of whose members are apparently critics of the current of deviation... Lately, there are some rumors on the relationship between Mahsouli and Ahmadinejad concerning the Resistance Front, which has created serious doubts about the agendas of some of the political and economic founders of this front, but the fundamental question seems to be this: Can Sadeq Mahsouli, known as the billionaire of the ninth and tenth government, become the symbol of principalists some of whom claim to pursue a policy of purification and clarification of the principalist discourse?"
- Farda News condemns Turkey's foreign policy initiatives in the Middle East: "The Turks have based their active diplomacy on appearances and attempt to - by making popular gestures in the Arab world - show on the one hand that they do not intend to reach an agreement with Israel so that they can win the hearts of the Arab public opinion... and on the other hand continue their economic and military cooperation [with Israel] in secret."
- [E] Iran's Revolution court has agreed to release Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal on USD500, 000 bail, their lawyer announced on Tuesday.
- [E] American sources said that Ahmadinejad was likely to pay a second visit to Columbia University four years after his first appearance.
Military and Security
- Mohammad-Hossein Saffar Harandi, cultural adviser to the Revolutionary Guards, says "the elements of sedition have tried to topple the regime for the past ten years," and warns against future sedition.
- Sobh-e Sadeq warns against activities of the reformist opposition in Malaysia.
- Sobh-e Sadeq depicts protests against drying out of Lake Urumiyeh as "the enemy's scheme."
Nuclear Issue
- As the Islamic Republic officially inaugurates the Bushehr nuclear power plant, Kayhan writes that electricity from the power plant is now circulating in the trans-Iranian network.
- Mohammad Khoshchehreh calls Ahmadinejad's proposal to triple the cash handouts "suicidal." http://www.fardanews.com/fa/news/161378
- Farda News: "$3 billion embezzlement in Saderat Bank shakes the pillars of the financial sector."
- Jomhouri-ye Eslami editorializes: "Rather than looking for the money, the mass media discuss how the money was stolen!"
- Mahmoud Bahmani, Central Bank director, says he had warned the Saderat Bank against "extending any services to Mr. X."
- Supreme Audit Court head Abd al-Reza Rahmani Fazli says Iran's economy has become "more dependent on oil," warns against increased budget deficit due to reduction in oil production, government debts to the private sector and sanctions. Fazli also complains of lack of government investments in the oil and gas sector which he blames for decreased oil production. Fazli dismissed Ahmadinejad's promise of tripling the cash handout as "an impossibility."
- Fazli adds: "Less than 42% percent... of the cash handout was the subsidies reform..." The rest was financed by transfers from the Central Bank, the oil revenue, the national budget, and companies subjected to the Oil and Energy Ministry.
- According to Fazli, the oil revenue used for financing the cash handout amounts to $12 billion.
- According to Economy Minister Shams al-Din Hosseini the level of Foreign Direct Investment in Iran reached $3 billion in 2009.
- Deputy Oil Minister Abd al-Hossein Bayat says Iran plans to triple its petrochemical exports.
- Hassan-Ali Pakravan says a French company will soon start building of a petrochemical park in Iran, while two Italian companies will start petrochemical projects in Assalouyeh.

the department is very new and is in a very good location, just lacks a bit of warmth of home, they deliver very empty. And need a shower screen in the bathroom
The apartment's very big (we were in 6 but very very comfortable) and spacious, and very well located (in 2 minutes by feet you are in the old town square, and the area is really safe and calm during the night). The owners are from a big agency so it was well organized, they were very kind and answered the mail very quickly and in a useful way! I recommend the transport from the airport: it's easier than doing by yourself and it's not so more expensive! Then, we used it also for the way back at the same price and paying few more to have a service of luggage transfer (we didn't need to leave the apartment with all the baggage, they came to collect them up and they were on the car when the driver picked us to go to the airport!)
Just, it was not so clean (of course not even extremely dirty) and the bathroom doors were like "transparent" (not a problem, anyway not until the shower moment!!).
Anyway, I really recommend it, especially for the excellent position and for the quality/price.
A friend of mine and me we where staying at old town square apartement in the Jilska street which is a street in the oldtown center of Prague. Our apartement was quite big with 2 rooms, one for sleeping and a livingroom with extra beds for 4 persons more. The kitchen was well equipped and part of the living room (open kitchen). The area around the flat has plenty of shops, nice bars and restaurants to have cheap meals. Unfortunately close to the flats house aswell is a school with a crazy school bell that rings twice every morning at 7:45 and 8:00. So if you want to sleep long maybe its better to take some earplugs with you ;)
Little bit noisy, but it's London!
Had a great time with my family!
We were a group of 4 adults. The apartment was very clean, with plenty of room and had everything we needed. It is very close to the East Aldgate underground stop. Very convenient for getting around London. There was construction next door, they seem to be putting up a new building, so we couldn't keep the windows open due to the noise. But with the windows closed it was very quiet. Overall a great place to stay.
The apartment was nice, clean and spacious. We had a really pleasant stay.
Only two things were a little bit disturbing:
The office where you get the key is a little bit outside.
And after the stay I got a call that one key was missing. But after I sent them pictures of how I left the apartment - on which you could see all the keys on the living room table - they said that everything is ok and they found the key.
Very nice appartment in a very good location. no problems at all. next time again.
Apartment very nice and comfortable.
Very close to downtown.
Nice apartment. It was a shock to have to pay so much money in advance as a deposit. And that there was no Katharina at all, but a big organisation....

The Bruins already share a division with the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs, another Original Six franchise may join that fray as early as next season. According to CBC's Elliotte Friedman, the NHL's proposed four-conference realignment plan would place the Detroit Red Wings in a conference with the Bruins, Canadiens, Leafs, Buffalo Sabres, Florida Panthers, Ottawa Senators and Tampa Bay Lightning. The proposal, which must still be approved by the league's board of governors, would do away with the current two-conference, six-division format in favor of four individual conferences — two with seven teams and two with eight. A major impetus for the desire for realignment was the Atlanta Thrashers' move to Winnipeg prior to the 2012 season, which has created significant travel struggles for teams in the Southeast Division. The other eight-team conference will reportedly consist of Carolina, Columbus, New Jersey, the New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington. One seven-team conference will include Chicago, Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis and Winnipeg, while the other will be made up of Anaheim, Calgary, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Jose and Vancouver. The names the proposed conferences have not yet been announced. The new re-alignment NHL/NHLPA have worked on -- I: CAR/CLB/NJ/NYI/NYR/PHI/PIT/WASH— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 24, 2013 II: BOS/BUF/DET/FLA/MON/OTT/TB/TOR— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 24, 2013 III: CHI/COL/DAL/MIN/NASH/STL/WIN— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 24, 2013 IV: ANA/CAL/EDM/LA/PHOE/SJ/VAN— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) February 24, 2013

I'll find my place in the ranks, Putin tells viewers
Page Tools
Vladimir Putin has firmly rejected any suggestion that he might continue in the Russian presidency past 2008, promising during a televised public meeting that there is "no danger of a return to a monopoly on power".
But outside camera range during Mr Putin's coast-to-coast appearance at the northern town of Vorkuta on Tuesday an elderly critic of the Government who tried to ask a question had two teeth knocked out, and his wife, a human rights activist, was also injured.
In the end, few of the more than 1 million questions posed to Mr Putin by telephone, email, text message and live television link-up got through the careful screening, in what seemed the opening salvo of an election campaign in which Mr Putin insists he will not be a candidate.
For months, the Russian political scene has been consumed with speculation over whether Mr Putin would permit a democratic transition of power at the end of his second term in 2008, when the constitution requires him to step down.
Much of the debate centres on how Mr Putin and those around him in the Kremlin will retain control - whether through amending the constitution or by designating a successor to take the reins in a managed election.
Mr Putin's tenure has been marked by charges of controlled elections, reduced regional autonomy, and a clampdown on political parties and broadcast media. Few expect opposition candidates will be allowed free campaigns. Fewer expect anyone but a close ally, if not Mr Putin, to lead Russia after 2008.
"You are the only leader under whose guidance the country develops steadily," said Igor Guchkov from the Volga River town of Ulianovsk by phone. "Wouldn't it be worthwhile to hold a referendum on a third term in office?"
Mr Putin replied he did not aim to sit in the Kremlin "endlessly". "I see my goal in creating conditions for the country's development in the long run, for young, skilful and effective managers to come to the country's leadership. … As for me, as the military says, I will find my place in the ranks."
Cameras showed smiling citizens from Sakhalin Island to the Black Sea. But a scuffle broke out in Vorkuta when Yevgenya Khaydarova, 62, and her husband, head of a local pensioners' group, tried to pass through a police and plainclothes security cordon. Ms Khaydarova said her hands were pulled behind her back, and her husband, Nagitulla Khaydarov, 67, was kicked and had two teeth knocked out.

USC Makes Road Trip To Old Home
Feb. 14, 2012
USC (6-20, 1-12) will play at UCLA (14-11, 7-6) at the Sports Arena on Feb. 15 at 7:30 p.m. The game is being televised on Prime Ticket with Don MacLean and Joel Meyers calling the action and Courtney Jones providing sideline commentary. USC is 1-13 in its last 14 games.
BREAKING DOWN THE BRUINS -- UCLA is coming off a 73-63 home loss vs. California, just its first home conference loss. UCLA defeated USC in the first meeting between the two teams this season, 66-47 at the Galen Center on Jan. 15. The Bruins are led in scoring by Lazeric Jones' 13.8 points per game, but have four players scoring in double figures. The teams split the season series last year and with the win in January, UCLA leads 11-10 in the last 11 seasons. USC has won 4 of the last 6 meetings, but trails in the all-time series, 104-130.
ON THE ROAD TO THE PAST -- From 1959 until the Galen Center opened for the 2007 season, the Sports Arena served as USC's main basketball home and this will be USC's first game back in the building since defeating Oregon State 89-84 on Feb. 25, 2006. USC's last game vs. UCLA at the Sports Arena was a 71-68 win on Feb. 19, 2006. USC is 4-1 vs. UCLA at the Sports Arena in the last five meetings with all five games decided by four points or less.
MID-GAME RUN PROPELS STANFORD PAST USC -- For the second consecutive game the Trojans hung in the game until the second half, but a second-half run of 11-0 by Stanford allowed the Cardinal to pull away for a 59-47 victory at the Galen Center on Feb. 12. USC trailed by two at the half and 35-33 at the 11:20 mark of the second half when Stanford's run gave the Cardinal control of the game. Chasson Randle led Stanford with 16 points, including going 4-for-5 from 3-point range. Byron Wesley and Greg Allen scored 13 points for the Trojans, with Maurice Jones chipping in with 10 points. Stanford outrebounded USC 45-19 and outscored USC 14-0 on second-chance points. Stanford shot 44.9 percent to USC's 31.3 percent for the game, and hit at a 56.0 percent clip in the second half.
TROJANS TRAVEL TO ARIZONA FOR FINAL ROAD TRIP -- USC will play next week at Arizona on Feb. 23 at 6:30 p.m. MT and at Arizona State on Feb. 25 at 6 p.m. MT. USC lost to both teams at home earlier in the season, falling 62-53 to Arizona State on Jan. 5 and then 57-46 vs. Arizona on Jan. 8.
TROJANS STINGY WITH TURNOVERS - As a young team playing with no senior scholarship players and just three scholarship players who had played in the USC system before, USC has committed just 11.2 turnovers per game, tied for 21st-best in the country. USC has had 9 or less turnovers in nine of the last 11 games and has had 12 or less turnovers 18 times. USC is tops in the Pac-12 with a +4.5 turnover margin. USC has committed 118 less turnovers than its opponents.
WESLEY AMONG FRESHMAN LEADERS - USC wing Byron Wesley ranks among the top eight Pac-12 freshmen in six different category averages: scoring (8.1, 7th), rebounds (4.8, 4th), defensive rebounds (3.9, 2nd), assists (1.8, 8th), steals (0.8, 6th) and minutes (34.2, 1st).
MOJO, MAN OF STEAL - Sophomore guard Maurice Jones has 115 career steals, already just one away from tying David Bluthenthal for 10th on the Trojans' all-time steals list. Jones' 69 steals last season set a USC freshman record and his 46 so far this season already rank sixth all-time by a Trojan sophomore. Jones currently ranks fourth among active Pac-12 players in career steals.
SUMMER MEMORIES... -- After the departure of four starters from last season, USC began its summer exhibition tour on Aug. 14 with a starting lineup of guards Jio Fontan, Maurice Jones and Evan Smith and forwards Aaron Fuller and Dewayne Dedmon. Only Maurice Jones remains playing from that starting lineup.


text: Hello Everyone, I tried a search but had no luck. I have an '86 Cimarron with the 2.8L V6. Everything has been running awesome but the other day I was driving home and all of a sudden the check engine light came on and it died instantly. I got it to a Sullivan Tire so they could diag the CEL. They came out and said the Distributor is junk. I guess the seal is bad so oil got up and ruined the module, etc. I went next door to a AutoZone and picked up and distributor for $140. I figured I can just do it myself, because Sullivan Tire wanted $600!! I've been in the automotive field for a long time so it shouldnt be a problem. So I mark all the wires to the cap and remove the cap and rotor. then I unclipped the 2 electrical connectors going to the module.....ok....looking for a bolt with a tab to loosen an remove the distributor....???? There isnt one....how the heck does it come out? I tried moving it but its in there solid? Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or what to look for? I have it all apart and its my only car and I have to work tomorrow morning. Any help will be awesome!!!! Thanks!!

Wow, this is scary. Chase Bank Online Scam with user profile.
I'm not an idiot. Well, mostly not an idiot, but I almost got scammed.
I go to login to my chase account from my laptop at home using internet explorer to transfer some funds. I go to chase.com, I enter my log in information, and it forwards me to a page I've never seen. Asking me to verify every single personal number imaginable.
I was pissed, because I didn't have my routing number, so I went up stairs to grab my checkbook, and I get back to the computer. I accidentally closed the wrong window in IE.
I load up firefox, I go to chase.com and I login, and presto, I'm in.
So now I'm confused, why did chase want to verify my info, and now they don't care?
I open up IE, and login.. Same "update profile" page.
The page asking for information is a fraud! I know this, because I called chase, and they said they have never heard of this, and they NEVER ask for this kind of information. long conversation short, they froze all of my chase accounts while I get new accounts setup.
Both my desktop and laptop go to this page while using internet explorer. I have searched EVERYWHERE for info on this, and I can't find anything.
I run up to the minute virus protection, I have both a hardware firewall, as well as xp's firewall (on the laptop) and vista's firewall (on the desktop).
I have ran ad-aware, as well as hijackthis, and everything comes back clean.
What the hell is going on here? And how are the scammers pulling this off?
the "phishing" web address is:
h ttps://chaseonline.chase.com/online/AgentFCCServlet (edited to make it non clickable)
I will attach screen shots as well as the page source in a txt file!
click to make screenshots larger.
be careful, and can somebody loan me a hundred bucks until my accounts are back open?

There are trojans that can change your dns server to use a fake one as a proxy, so it sends you to false websites.
You have an infection. Remove the drives from the systems and then scan those hard drives for viruses / trojans with another clean system.

I don't even have a bookmark in IE.. And I didn't want to gum up firefox with the alexa toolbar.

Trojan.Silentbanker (aka Spy-Agent.cm) was first discovered on January 14th, 2008. Protection against this Trojan was added to the HFHS system on January 15th at 12:13PM (dat file # 5208).
Another new Trojan intercepts online banking information
Brad Reed
January 14, 2008 (Network World) A new Trojan program is targeting unwitting users' bank data by intercepting account information before it is encrypted and sending it to an attacker's central database.
The Trojan, dubbed Trojan.Silentbanker by security software company Symantec, can intercept online banking transactions that normally are well guarded by two-factor authentication procedures. During a banking transaction, Silentbanker will change the user's bank account details over to the attacker's account, all the while mimicking what the user would expect to see from a typical banking transaction. Because users have no idea their account data has been changed, they then unknowingly send money to the attacker's account after entering their second authentication password.
Although the Trojan.Silentbanker is listed by Symantec as having a low level of distribution and being easy to remove from infected machines, Symantec security response team member Liam O'Murchu says it still poses a danger because of its ability to work without users detecting it.
"The scale and sophistication of this emerging banking Trojan is worrying, even for someone who sees banking Trojans on a daily basis," writes O'Murchu on Symantec's security response blog. "This Trojan downloads a configuration file that contains the domain names of over 400 banks. Not only are the usual large American banks targeted but banks in many other countries are also targeted, including France, Spain, Ireland, the UK, Finland, Turkey -- the list goes on."
The Trojan can be "downloaded or delivered silently through Web exploits," according to Symantec. Once it has been loaded to a machine, it can hook onto various APIs in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. As soon as the program is in place on a Web browser, it is free to cause all kinds of mischief, including redirecting legitimate banking requests to attacker-controlled computers; altering the HTML of pages shown to the user; and recording user names and passwords, as well as capturing screenshots of any Web pages the user visits.
Additionally, says O'Murchu, the Trojan can constantly update itself, as it relays URLs and HTML from banking Web sites to the attackers on a daily basis. "Using these submissions they can target banks for which they do not have bank accounts already," he says. "We are currently monitoring all of the updates to this Trojan."
Symantec recommends users take several steps to guard themselves against this Trojan, including disabling system restore before getting rid of the virus, to ensure the system doesn't inadvertently back up a copy of the Trojan software; making sure all virus definitions are updated on their antivirus software; running a full virus scan of their machines; and finally, deleting the value from their registry.
The Silentbanker Trojan is not the first Trojan aimed at attacking bank accounts in recent weeks. Late last year, for instance, security firm SecureWorks discovered a botnet-controlled Trojan called the "Prg Banking Trojan" that is believed to have affected customers from more than a dozen banks in the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain.

Awsome article...but how does a startup survive the big giants. I just registered my company but in the dark on how to go about it
Feb 19 Posted 5 years ago
I absolutely agree. We brought services in house right away. To do real social media that works for the client, you need SEO skill, you need video skill, you need design and development skill, you need content creators and professional writers. For one consultant to do all this is impractical. I think the future is going to be made up of in-house social media, boutique social media agencies, and white labeled social media agencies who work for larger PR and ad firms. Our agency has 13 employees and we're hiring. The true social media strategy takes a lot of people.
Feb 19 Posted 5 years ago
I too take advantage of a collaborative model and bring in expertise when needed. I also think solo consultants can thrive if they specialize in a particular niche. Because of my legal background I specialize in working with professionals who have challenges using social media because of regulations they must comply with in order to stay in business. Many of the big agencies don't have this core competency. This is just one example of how a solo who specializes can stay afloat. One of the keys to success in this arena is being able to keep up with daily changes in the medium. If you only have to focus on keeping up with one particular niche, you are bound to develop a certain expertise that the "Big Guys" can't develop while they are trying to be all things to all people.

Hi Gunther. Wow, your comment is a blog post in it own right! If you have a blog you should publish it as a response and let it garner its own comments! Anyway, on to your points:
What we're selling that no one else has (at least that I've seen) is a marriage of two or more technologies in a new way that clients find useful. We have a way of doing viral email campaigns that result in brick and mortar store sales, for example, that always generates a huge number of sales. And we have other products that marry say, social media monitoring, plus engagement, plus 24/7 monitoring, so that we can answer any mention of your brand anywhere, at any time. We've been making connections and combining technologies so that we have close to twenty different products, and we both sell them direct to clients as well as white label them to other marketing communications agencies that don't have the infrastructure to offer such products in-house, yet know they can't afford to not compete in this area.
You mention that you have two companies of your own. Since that's the case, you're not what I would call a solo consultant. I was referring to people that have a skill set, a computer, and the ability to offer their services in the marketplace. If you're supervising others, you're not the person I was talking about. And that was my point: the more entrepreneurial solo people will develop their own companies.
I don't think that buying a digital shop is a fruitless endeavor, if one does their due diligence beforehand. There are a number of respected firms here in Manila that would be fair candidates, without high attrition. Companies often buy other companies just to get the staff or a knowledge/technology transfer. If they are disastrous, that tells me that nobody checked to see if the corporate culture was going to be able to handle the influx of a new previously-formed team. Little attention may have been given to change management.
I agree that any company needs people with your skillset, but they don't necessarily need them solo. If they can get them by hiring an agency that is employing people with that skillset, they will.
Thanks again for taking the time to write. I really appreciate it!
Feb 17 Posted 5 years ago
Let's admit, social media brought out digital marketers/consultants that capitalize on personal branding who have billions of followers on their social accounts but can't make a simple SWOT analysis for a brand/product. A great digital campaign should be comprised of vital ingredients that doesn't only come from a single mind. Collaboration is always a good thing, it's the very essence of social media.
Feb 17 Posted 5 years ago
I absolutely agree. I reached the same conclusion around Xmas. Now I just have to convince my fellow soloists to join wioth me and put the band back together.
Feb 17 Posted 5 years ago
Hi Tony, I'm curious: how do you define digital marketing? And just what is it you are selling "that no one else has"? Content? Technology? Data? Resources? All?
I ask because I consult for a number of reputable companies (start-ups, brands and agencies), and I can tell you that I don't see the same competencies that you might see, and I also don't see agencies in particular being able to adapt to the shifts in the marketplace very well. Integrated marketing is something that any good agency knows and is expected to do (including being able to do social & PR) -- a few examples are Tribal DDB, Razorfish and Sapient: "digital" agencies that are also, in some cases, AORs for leading brands (meaning they do everything, and do it well). They outsource a lot of the production - as they should - but they also farm out a lot of their community management and digital brand development out to specialists (including consultants) -- people they would never be able to hire in-house, simply because these people will never go in-house (like me; been there, done that).
To boot, resources in the areas of brand journalism, data visualization and social media analytics are hard to find - and these are the opportunity areas that extend far beyond being able to do content marketing or social media management. A major reason why I am hired, for example, is because social media, digital and PR agencies typically don't have a clue as to how to staff for different types of editorial content, nor do they know how to build disciplines like transmedia storytelling, nor do they know how to build custom platforms to meet the needs of their brand clients and their consumer cohorts. Many aren't true technologists. They also don't have the resource pool that I have, since they typically don't build platforms or have experience putting service products into the market.
The other aspect of this are training and operations -- a good majority of my time is spent teaching both management and employess how to develop new skill-sets. Again, without these folks being on the ground floor in the tech and business worlds, it's pretty tough for them to keep pace with the rapid changes in digital media spaces, let alone stay ahead of the game.
To that end, buying up agencies and digital shops can also be a fruitless endeavor -- for one, these companies don't have full-time resources and attrition is high (building on your point about outsourcing); they also tend not have any real infrastructure in place (in other words, they don't really own anything of value). Most rollups have proven to be a disaster, operationally and creatively.
I agree that going forward that the landscape wiil likely be comprised of smaller, more nimble shops, but I disagree (with bias) that solo consultants will go by the wayside (btw, I have two companies of my own). Granted, there's not a whole lot of us that are multi-faceted, but any company (agency or brand) that wants to be innovative needs people like us before they go off and hire teams of people and spend gobs of money that they probably don't have.
Feb 17 Posted 5 years ago
Interesting post. I think the idea is right -- that social media and digital commuications is a complicated endeavor for both the client and for the consultant.
I've found that clients know and trust my work and appreciate my mind and what I bring to the table.
And certainly I am not an expert in everything. To fill the gaps, i have a vast network of people that I call upon - that includes other single practioners, small firms and large firms. It kinda works both ways- I bring them work, they bring me work.
My model is a collaborative model where depending on what a client needs, I bring in the right people. PR firms appreciate when I bring them full execution projest. Or let's say I am working with someone and they need content creation - storyboarding and video production and syndication. I bring on someone for that.
I know myself very well. I am th best me in collaboration. And that is what is at the basis of the premise of social media- that more brains are better than one! @drnatalie Learn. Share. Grow!™

Hey Now, There's No Need to Hide
We already know everything.
It seems that Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey still aren't comfortable publicly presenting themselves as a couple. Page Six dishes on Vanessa's skittishness:
The couple arrived together for the launch of social networking site YF at the Grand (the old Au Bar), but the MTV star "ran to a different entrance with a baseball cap on and refused pictures," we're told. Lachey happily posed alone and met up with Minnillo inside where he chatted up partiers while she refused to talk to anyone but her man
Girl, get over it. What's the big deal anyways? As long as you stay away from reality shows about your budding relationship, you should be fine.

Asunto: Attacking do-gooders
Hi Stephen,
I've been reading some of your comments about other bloggers and want to respond directly to you. First, however, please take a look at TechLearning.com. You will not see the logo of the company you seem to hate so much - CMP. We were never a big part of that company and we are now part of a start-up called NewBay Media.
I want to tell you how much I admire people who work with students, teachers, and administrators and who are willing to share their experiences and expertise with others. The bloggers on TechLearning whom you've criticized are great examples. I've been lucky to know most of them and that happened because they've shared what they do with our readers by writing for our ezine over many years.
When blogging became so important, they were willing to help me get that started too. (Miguel explained how it came about.) Their blogs and articles are extremely popular with our readers and they are very highly respected. They deserve every bit of that respect.
It always dismays me to see anyone attack people rather than ideas. (When I ran School of the Future, one of our core values was respect for ourselves and others.) I don't see you arguing with them about what they say by commenting in our TechLearning blog. I just see you ranting against them as people in your own space. If I read your words correctly, you are condemning them for being good writers and presenters who are devoted to helping educators and doing a lot of good work. (Like yourself, right?)
Btw, Techlearning isn't associated with the K-12 Online Conference (I wish we were) but I think what they are doing is wonderful. It's a grass roots group of educators helping others; it's the spirit of open source. What could be better?
Thanks for listening. And lay off my friends please. It's beneath you.
Gwen Solomon
Director, TechLearning.com
Hiya Gwen,
You may have seen my post on this, but I would like to draw it to your attention, so you can be aware that I did not simply read and disregard your email.
Minimally, what I link to shows quite conclusively that NewBay Media is not a simple startup, as you suggest in your email, but part of the Wicks Group of Companies. Moreover, the Wicks Group has acquired at least some, if not all, of CMP. So it is quite misleading to suggest that, as you write, "We were never a big part of that company and we are now part of a start-up called NewBay Media."
I would also take issue with your suggestion that I am attacking people rather than ideas. I have been specific in what I have criticized, and have not criticized the character of any person; rather, I have criticized what they have said and what they have done. When you say "you are condemning them for being good writers and presenters who are devoted to helping educators and doing a lot of good work" you are very much misrepresenting what I have said.
For the record, my concern was with the commercial nature of the enterprise (a point most readers managed to understand). While the conference was being represented as "a grass roots group of educators helping others," it was not clear to me that this was the case. It seems to me very clear that this is a commercial enterprise, albeit one that has managed to recruit a certain amount of volunteer support. This is why I mentioned the very strong connection with the same group of people who write for NewBay Media. It is also why I mentioned the connection with the Shanghai University. And it is why I questioned, in this context, the promotion of the conference and some of the speakers. It is my hope that the volunteers associated with the conference have a very clear understanding of the commercial nature of the conference, as they may not have had this understanding when they originally volunteered.
This argument sits in a wider context of a argument to the effect that it is contrary to the nature of blogging to try to elevate some people (especially paid consultants or journalists) to the position of thought leaders. This is the sort of thing, I would comment, that characterizes commercial enterprises, as they try to direct traffic to their own properties. But in my view, good ideas exist throughout the blogosphere, and it does people a disservice to suggest otherwise. Especially in the education blogosphere, a commercial presence distorts and diminishes the very real contributions of teachers and others. Moreover, the representation of this conference as the best, or only, means of connecting with other educators was, particularly in the blogging environment, misleading, and in my view did more to damage educational blogging than to support it.
You are of course free to disagree with my argument, and I would encourage you in this. However I would request that this disagreement remain congruent with the facts regarding your enterprise and reflect faithfully my arguments as I have stated them. As for what is beneath me, let me suggest, that this is my concern, and not yours.
-- Stephen

Hi Stephen,ReplyDelete
I've read this carefully and tried to request a Skype chat, but I still cannot see why you mentioned me in your initial remarks, hinting that I am somewhat below par in what I have to say. If this is what you believe then I would appreciate a critique of some of my work with constructive words rather than a sarcastic side-swipe.
I am not a consultant, I work for a national education system and have nothing to gain from this venture other than what comes through my RSS feed and the thoughts that I am able to construct for myself as I write my own blog.
Please clarify this otherwise you are simply attacking a person and not their ideas or motives.
I have not seen a request for a Skype chat.ReplyDelete
You were included in the list because your name appeared frequently in conjunction with the others. Like this.
Suggestions that I am "hinting that I am somewhat below par in what I have to say" constitute your interpretation of what I have written, and are not in fact what I wrote.
You wrote:ReplyDelete
"Oh hey wait, it's the same people! Who are - according to themselves - the leading edubloggers. As one person commented today - a 'co-prosperity sphere'. I prefer the term from Jerry Pournelle: the CoDominium. Anyhow - I aggregate more than 300 edubloggers (and leave out just as many again) and try to represent their contributions as fairly as I can in these pages. And that is to me the core of edublogging, not self-styled A-listers. But hey - attend the conference, listen to Warlick and Freedman and Fryer and McIntosh and the rest and judge for yourself. What do I know?"
That sounds like a side-swipe to me = "what do I know" is an open declaration that you've got something going on against me.
Just let me know what it is you don't understand/agree with/believe in me or my work, or remove my name in connection with the negative connotations you have brought within that post.
You write, "That sounds like a side-swipe to me = 'what do I know' is an open declaration that you've got something going on against me."ReplyDelete
I think you'd be the only person in the world to infer that. I am saying "What do I know?" - in other words, suggesting that I am not in a position of knowledge.
As for the rest - I so don't do ultimatums. Unless you've got something better than 'sounds like' I am simply not interested in your demands.
Fair enough - maybe this is just another example of the difficulty in interpreting someone's remarks when we can't see their faces or ask straight away to clarify. I also bit my lip after clicking publish since I wouldn't change a post on my own blog and it's presumptious to expect someone else to.ReplyDelete
I'm interested in the group dynamic argument as a reason for kind of 'clubbing together' and the number of links that appear when you link certain names together, but don't know if this is more down to serendipity or design.
I'm not one to bear a grudge, just someone who likes to know where they stand - fat chance, you might say, in the world we live in today ;-)
One day, if we're in the same room (real or virtual) I'd love to talk the ideas through and hopefully we can see where each other is coming from.

Max Care and CarMax Burbank
SUBMITTED: Monday, October 28, 2013POSTED: Monday, October 28, 2013
I have a 2005 Nissan 350Z Convertible and I took it into Nissan of Van Nuys, California. Last week or so the Check engine light came on and also the convertible top works intermittently. It gets better, CarMax of Burbank sold me the car with the unproper tire size and apparently the car has sensors and it is not reading the correct tire size, so intermittently the car will shut off and the traction control light will turn on as well as the slip light, Airbag light is flashing, this means it is NOT SAFE! Apparently the intake manifold needs replacement as car is running rich and on the acceleration module sensor is bad! Hmmmm, back when I purchased the car just a fresh 7 months ago and ONLY put 3,000 miles on it I had to take it back the 2nd day to CarMax of Burbank where Jason the service manager helped me out because the accelerator was bad, so apparently they didnt fix it correctly and I was without a vehicle for 2 weeks.
I purchased this car for my 30th Bday and it has been a nightmare :( I even lost my job! So I cant enjoy this car with whats going on, soooo not fair :( I am filing complaint with CarMax and MaxCare, well only if Max Care does whats right. The claim that is currently oustanding as of todays date: 10/28/2013 and I am worried because the cost of repairs will be around 12,000.00 or more I would think! I need to let the Finance company Santander know this since this is financed with them, I would hope they are on my side and we can fight this and ensure my vehicle is safe and completely repaired. Remeber this car has only been driven 3000 miles in 7 months so it really does suck that Carmax would sell a messed up car to a guys 30th bday :( Crying........Shameful

Our subscription prices and policies are not in fine print, but rather are clearly stated in the details of the subscription underneath each price option, in regular sized print, as well as in the confirmation email you receive once you subscribe. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email, and self- cancellation in your Account Settings! If service is no longer needed.
Like other subscriptions (your gym or your cable and internet service, for example), we don't know to cancel the service unless you contact us. We provided a month's refund as a one time courtesy. Again it was stated on the subscription sales page and payment confirmation we sent upon purchase to the email you used to create the account.
If you have more questions, our customer service team is more than willing to help. We are available 18 hours a day, 7 days a week from 6am- Midnight EST at toll free 1-855-213-0348 or through live chat on our site. If you prefer you can send us an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Best Regards,
