Mitrevski stops Tagi
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Former world champion Ricky Hatton was special guest at the Foxtel Televised Fenech Fight Night Grange Gym promotion at the Roundhouse at University of NSW, Sydney, NSW, Australia on Friday which featured leading Australian super middleweight Peter Mitrevski Jnr (21-6-1, 10 KOs) scoring an impressive four round stoppage of Opeti Tagi (13-5, 6 KOs) of Fiji.
Mitrevski hurt Tagi consistently as he delivered power left rips and left hooks to the head in all the rounds. In round three Mitrevski dropped his opponent with a solid combination and in round four Opeti was down again and shortly after referee John Gauchi crowned the Aussie at 1:02.
Mitrevski said, " I will be boxing at middleweight soon and would like to challenge the IBF champion Sebastian Sylvester who beat me in 2006. I would like to thank Gary Francisco from the Grange Gym for giving me the opportunity to fight tonight. I will be helping Anthony Mundine to prepare for his bout with Robert Medley for IBO world title on January 11."
Mitrevski captured the IBF Pan Pacific 168 pound belt which has previously been held by Anthony Mundine, Danny Green, Sakio Bika and Shannan Taylor. Former two time WBC 175 pound champion Jeff Hitman Harding placed the belt around Mitrevski.
In supporting bout former IBF 130 pound champion Gairy St Clair (42-10-2, 18 KOs) was down in round two of his bout with Moses Seran (21-17, 11 KOs) of Indonesia but outworked his opponent to receive a six round points win by scores of 57-56, 57-56, 57-56.
Big punching 140 pounder Ranee Ganoy (29-11-2, 24 KOs) knocked out Kongthawat Sorkitti (47-36-1, 34 KOs) in round one with a perfect delivered left rip to the body – left hook to the jaw. Time 2.13. Ricky Hatton said, "Any boxer in the world would be proud to deliver that combination."
Australian featherweight champion Joel Brunker (12-0, 7 KOs) stopped Thailand's Kong Kiatprachagym (5-5, 2 KOs) in round three. The import was down in round two and at :37 of round three referee Les Fear crowned Brunker who looks destined for international recognition.
Former Australian welterweight champion Mathew Paulley (19-6-5, 7 KOs) was upset in two rounds by Steve Maxwell (5-3, 3KOs). Paulley was down in round one and in round two referee Les Fear crowned Maxwell :31 after Paulley was down from a barrage of punches.
Former world cup silver medalist Dilshod Mahmudov (2-0, 2 KOs) made short work of experienced Thai Staporn Singwancha (19-9-1, 11 KOs).
Southpaw Muhmdov connected with powerful body shot that dropped the Thai twice in round one and referee crowned the Australian-based Uzbek 147 pounder who is trained by former amateur flyweight champion Lincoln Hudson and managed by Fidel Tukel.
Six foot welterweights Robert Whaley (2-1-1) and Romano Sanna (0-4-2) boxed a crowd pleasing majority draw over four rounds. Scores were 38-38, 38-38 and 40-36 (Whaley).

Cancer Clinical Trials at the NIH Clinical Center
What is the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center?
The NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, is the research hospital for the NIH, the federal government's principal agency for biomedical research. The NIH Clinical Center is actually made up of two centers: the Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center and the Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center. The NIH Clinical Center as a whole promotes translational research—that is, the transformation of scientific laboratory research into applications that benefit patient health and medical care. At the Clinical Center, patient care units are in close proximity to cutting-edge technologies and laboratories doing related research. This "bench-to-bedside" approach facilitates interaction and collaboration among clinicians and researchers.
The NIH Clinical Center is devoted exclusively to clinical investigation. Unlike most facilities, the Clinical Center does not routinely provide standard diagnostic and treatment services. NIH physicians accept patients for clinical trials if the patient has an illness being studied by one or more of the Institutes and the patient meets the trial's specific medical eligibility requirements (also called eligibility criteria).
What is NCI's Center for Cancer Research?
The mission of NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR) is to make breakthrough discoveries in basic and clinical cancer research and develop them into novel therapeutic interventions for adults and children with cancer or HIV. CCR investigators include basic, clinical, and translational scientists who collaborate with each other, with scientists at other NIH Institutes and Centers, and with scientists in academia and industry. The clinical trials conducted by CCR on the NIH campus represent the core of NCI's intramural research program in Bethesda, Maryland.
Why are clinical trials important?
Clinical trials are the way in which new and more effective cancer treatments are discovered and proven. If a new treatment proves effective in a clinical trial, it can become a new standard of care.
Due to progress made through clinical trials, many people with cancer are living longer. However, it is important to recognize that new treatments under study do not always turn out to be more effective than the standard treatment.
What are eligibility criteria?
To enter a clinical trial, each prospective applicant must meet specific requirements, called eligibility criteria. Eligibility criteria are an important part of each clinical trial's protocol or action plan. The criteria vary from study to study and may include age, gender, medical history, and current health status. Treatment studies often require that patients have a particular type and stage of cancer. Eligibility criteria help ensure the participants' safety. For example, some people have other health problems that could be made worse by the treatment being studied. The qualifications also help researchers achieve accurate and meaningful results.
How can health care providers and cancer patients learn about cancer clinical trials at the NIH Clinical Center?
Information about cancer clinical trials being conducted at the NIH Clinical Center is available by phone and online.
- Call the NIH Clinical Center Patient Recruitment and Liaison Office at 1–800–411–1222.
- Visit the Search for CCR Trials at NIH page or use NCI's clinical trials search form to identify clinical trials that may be appropriate for the patient. Review the trial information and contact a member of the research team listed in the trial summary to discuss a screening visit or to request more information.
- Contact one of the clinical research teams that study specific types of cancer at the NIH Clinical Center. Patients who meet medical eligibility requirements may be asked to schedule an appointment at the Clinical Center. During this appointment, patients will learn more about the clinical trial and may be asked to undergo some tests. Before agreeing to take part in the trial, patients need to understand key information about the clinical trial, including details about the treatment, tests, and possible risks and benefits.
The following NCI branches study specific types of cancer at the NIH Clinical Center, provide various types of support and care, and may be contacted directly. Many provide second opinions for patients and their families.
- The Endocrine Oncology Branch conducts preclinical and clinical research and offers consultations for patients with endocrine cancers (thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, and parathyroid). Staff can provide a second opinion for health care providers, patients, and family members. Specialists can either evaluate the patient in person or provide a second opinion after reviewing the patient's medical records and scans. For more information, call 301–496–6457 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (ET).
- The Experimental Transplantation and Immunology Branch conducts clinical trials of stem cell transplant-based treatments for several types of cancer, including lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma, as well as for immune deficiency conditions that may become cancer. For more information, call 301–435–1623 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (ET). A branch member will obtain relevant information by phone, may request medical records, and will discuss open trials for which the patient may be eligible. A screening visit is scheduled if eligibility criteria are met.
- The Immunotherapy Service conducts clinical trials for patients with melanoma. The patient, a family member, or a health care provider can get information about these studies by calling the Immunotherapy Referral Office at 1–866–820–4505 or 301–451–1929 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. (ET). A member of the study team can discuss open studies for which the patient may be eligible. If a patient is thought to be eligible, their health care provider will be asked to send medical records and scans. A screening visit will be scheduled only after all of the information has been received and reviewed. The Immunotherapy Service does not offer consultations or second opinions for patients. The Immunotherapy Service is part of the Surgery Branch.
- Multiple branches conduct medical oncology trials for patients with a variety of cancers, including lymphoma and gastrointestinal, prostate, lung, and women's cancers. These branches are: Lymphoid Malignancies Branch, Genitourinary Malignancies Branch, Urologic Oncology Branch, Thoracic and Gastrointestinal Oncology Branch, and the Women's Malignancies Branch. For more information, call the Medical Oncology Referral Office at 1–866–611–6310 or 301–451–1228 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (ET). A member of the referral team will discuss open studies for which the patient may be eligible. If a patient is thought to be eligible, the person's health care provider will be asked to send medical records, including scan images and pathology materials. A screening visit will be scheduled after appropriate medical information is received and reviewed. Consultations or second opinions for patients who are not eligible for trials may be provided at the discretion of the investigator.
- The Neuro-Oncology Branch offers clinical trials and consultations for patients with brain tumors. Staff can provide second opinions for health care providers, patients, and family members. Specialists can either evaluate the patient in person or offer a second opinion after reviewing the patient's medical records and scans. To find out more about this service, call 240-760-6010.
- The Pediatric Oncology Branch conducts clinical trials for various childhood cancers. To refer children, teenagers, or young adults, the patient's health care provider should call the branch at 301–496–4256 or 1–877–624–4878 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (ET). The attending physician will discuss the case with the patient's health care provider, determine eligibility for treatment under a clinical protocol, and help arrange the referral. After the patient has been accepted for evaluation, a social worker from the branch will contact the family and provide information about the study, as well as details about travel and lodging.
- The Radiation Oncology Branch designs and conducts preclinical and clinical research on the biologic and therapeutic effects of radiation therapy. Clinical trials conducted by this branch involve novel technologies and/or imaging-based approaches to radiation therapy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance (MR) image fusion are routine components of patients' treatment plans. The Radiation Oncology Branch also provides radiosurgery, intensity-modulated 3-D conformal radiotherapy, real-time dose measurement, brachytherapy, and MR-guided procedures. To find out more about current clinical trials, patients and health care providers can call 301–451–8905 or 301–496–5457 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (ET).
- The Thoracic and Gastrointestinal Oncology Branch conducts clinical trials for patients with esophageal cancer, lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma, and lung metastases (cancer that spread to the lung). Patients and health care providers may call 301–451–1233 between 6:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. (ET) to receive information about available trials and eligibility requirements. Consultations and second opinions may be offered to patients and health care providers. If a patient is interested in participating in a trial, all medical records must be sent to the team. The patient's case will then be reviewed by a physician on staff and a screening visit will be scheduled if the patient is thought to be a likely candidate for the trial.
- The Urologic Oncology Branch offers consultations for patients who have been diagnosed with renal (kidney) or localized prostate or bladder cancer and who have not had surgery. Health care providers and patients may call 301–496–6353 between 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (ET). After speaking with a physician on staff, the patient may be asked to come in for a screening visit. Surgery and/or referral to clinical trials will be offered if appropriate.
Can cancer patients who live outside the United States participate in clinical trials at the NIH Clinical Center?
Yes. People from other countries can participate in clinical trials at the NIH Clinical Center if they meet the trial's specific medical eligibility requirements. Due to limitations on resources and funding, however, U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents have priority for participation in these trials.
International patients planning to travel to the United States for cancer treatment should contact the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in their home country for visa eligibility and application procedures. Participants must pay for their own travel to the United States, and they must have a place to stay while they are in the United States.
How much does it cost to participate in a clinical trial at the NIH Clinical Center?
There is no charge for medical care received at the NIH Clinical Center. Participants will be responsible for costs for travel to their initial screening visits. Once a participant is enrolled in a trial, NCI will pay for transportation for subsequent trial-related visits for participants who do not live in the local area. In addition, these participants will receive a small per diem for food and lodging expenses if they are being treated as outpatients. However, it is important for participants to maintain current health insurance for medical care that is required outside of the trial or that is provided away from the Clinical Center.
Participants who live outside the United States are responsible for all travel costs to the United States, including the initial visit and all subsequent visits.
How are the participant's health, rights, and privacy protected?
Every effort is made to protect and promote the welfare of the participant and to provide the best medical and nursing care possible.
Informed consent is an ongoing process during which information is presented that enables a person to decide voluntarily whether to begin or to continue to participate in a clinical trial. The purpose of the trial, its risks and benefits, the procedures, the schedule, the alternatives to participation, and other important details of the study are explained to the patient. If a person decides to enter a trial, he/she is asked to read, sign, and date an informed consent document. This document contains a summary of the clinical trial and explains the rights of the participant. The participant should be given a copy of the signed document.
All participants at the NIH Clinical Center are protected by the Clinical Center Patients' Bill of Rights. This document ensures that medical records remain private and are not disclosed or released without the participant's consent. In addition, each trial is carefully reviewed for risks and merit by the NCI Institutional Review Board (IRB), which includes doctors, researchers, and community leaders. IRBs check to see that the trial is well designed, legal, and ethical; does not involve unnecessary risks; and includes safeguards for patients. No test or treatment is ever given that is unnecessarily hazardous to the participant. The participant is always free to decline to participate in any aspect of the study at any time. Researchers will stop any trial if unexpected problems arise.
How is the referring health care provider kept informed of patient care and progress during the trial?
NCI and the referring health care provider coordinate patient care. The NCI principal investigator discusses the trial and treatment with the patient's health care provider upon receiving a referral. Once a patient is enrolled in a trial, the investigator will send updates and test results at regular intervals.
NCI encourages health care providers to continue open communication with their patients throughout the clinical trial. Patients are encouraged to share their clinical trial experience with their health care providers. Referring health care providers are welcome to call the NCI research team at any time to discuss patient treatment plans and care.

"I see you've got your lucky tie on today, Sir," said HeadClerk.
"Never fails," said OldSmoothie. "I've won ten in a row with it so far."
"Well you might find it a little more difficult than usual," said TheBusker.
"Since TheVamp says that she's against you."
"This old tie won out last time we had a case," he replied.
"Ah, but this time she says she's resorted to sporting her lucky trial knickers," said TheBusker.
"Oh," said OldSmoothie.
"Exactly," said TheBusker.
"It is true to say, Sir, that TheVamp's special pair of lucky trial knickers have served her well down the years. Only brings them out for the big cases but according to my records..."
At which he opened an Excel spreadsheet. "...So far she has won exactly forty-three cases in the last five years and lost none."
"With that kind of a record, I think my football team could do with some of TheVamp's lucky trial knickers..." said TheBusker.
"Er..." OldSmoothie took a deep breath but then thought better of lowering the tone of the conversation even further.
"You don't look quite so confident now," said BusyBody. "Knickers trumps tie every time."
"I think you may need to resort to the Robing Room Riot Act Defence," said Teflon.
"What on earth's that?" asked TheCreep looking very perturbed that he might have missed out on a vital bit of legal information.
"It's a low down dirty trick, that's what it is," said BusyBody. "I'm going to ring TheVamp and warn her to get it in first."
"If you remember, she always thinks she wins more cases when she leaves her mobile off within two hours of kick-off," said OldSmoothie. "Shame."
"But what is this so-called Defence?" persisted TheCreep.
"It's an old lawyers' superstition," said Teflon. "When all else fails, on the scissors, paper, stone game of lucky trial charms, it was often said that if someone read the first two lines of the Riot Act 1714 to their opponent in the robing room just before the case started then the other side were doomed."
"With nerves jangling it can completely spook the other side'" said HeadofChambers. "Though for what it's worth it's considered extremely dastardly and certainly not something you'd ever inflict on a member of your own chambers."
"Unless you're called OldSmoothie," said BusyBody.
"I've often reflected on why lawyers are so very superstitious," said OldRuin. "I guess it's because ultimately they're like high rolling gamblers with their whole careers sometimes determined by the roll of a dice or in their case the capricious nature which can sometimes emanate from certain members of the judiciary."
"So knickers trumps tie but Riot Act trumps all. Are there any others I should know?" said TheCreep furiously taking notes as he desperately tried to keep up.

A hashtag is a means of attaching an easily understood and search-friendly identifier to instant messages, chats, tweets, and other searchable media. Hashtags are most commonly prefixed by the number sign and followed by a single entry (which may be a single word or multiple words condensed into one). For example, people discussing the Olympics on Twitter might tag their posts with #2014Olympics.

Authentic Autograph?
1 Attachment(s)
I wanted to ask about a Kobe Bryant autograph and whether it is real or fake.
Hmm... if someone were to fake a Kobe auto you'd think they'd do a better job on the K.
I know Kobe's K's are off like that at times, so it might be real.
sorry man looks fake to me. I've never seen him do that 24 and he usually writes more of his na,e out
I think that auto is fake. It just looks off to me.
Looks like a fake to me too. In all honesty, the "o" and "b" seem to be the only things that would be consistent with his autograph. He regularly misses on the "K" like that, so that's not a giveaway in my mind. But, like some of the rest of the auto, the line down on the K seems to be pretty unsteady as does the bottom part of the angled part of the K...if that makes sense.
The swoop down on the "e" looks very forced, where on a real auto, it should be very fluid. Also, neither the 2 or the 4 look like Kobe's writing. I have seen way fewer examples of him inscribing 24 than I have of him inscribing an 8, but both the 2 and the 4 are written in a different style than Kobe writes both of those numbers from what I've seen.
Not only does the main auto look off, as people have explained above, most of the time that particular Kobe signature is associated with his #8 jersey number. I have never seen him put a 24 next to that particular signature ever.
I'm not an auto expert but I would say fake as well.
I am not expert at all but that looks terrible.
Thanks everyone for their help.
I recently bought an autograph lot on Listia with a Mickey Mantle and Joe Dimaggio autograph and some other various autographs. It turned out the Mantle and Dimaggio autographs were not real so I was able to send them back.
I sent the package off with delivery confirmation and either the package has not arrived back to him and was lost or stolen or it was never scanned when it arrived back to him. The last scan shows on December 31st at a sort facility and an expected delivery date of January 2nd.
I asked him if he could either go to his local Post Office or call them or provide me with the number or location but he never did. He said he called the 1-800-ASK-USPS number and they were not much help.
I did call my local Post Office today and they provided me with his local Post Office number which I called and was told to call back tomorrow after they did some checking.
I guess he complained to Listia who refunded his credits, so I am out like 58,000 some credits now.
This brings me to why I asked about this and other autographs that he had listed.
I am trying to figure out if he is honest or not, he seems somewhat honest when I have messaged him. I plan on bringing to his attention that perhaps some of his autographs he is listing may not be genuine and see what response I get from that.
He seems to have a lot of autographs and be somewhat knowledgeable so having so many that might not be real really throws up a red flag for me.
The good news is I didn't win this autograph but the bad news is someone else did.
Below is what I received and sent back.
Anna Kournakova signed 8x10 photo (via mail)
Lyn St James signed 6x8 photo card (via mail)
1985 Topps Lance Parrish signed SUPER (via mail)
Donald Trump signed magazine (in person)
Bob Doerr HOF signed 5x7 photo (via mail)
Pete Rose signed 8x10 photo (in person)
Arnold Palmer signed 8x10 (via office w/ mail envelope)
Roger Clemens signed 4x6 pic (w/ letter from his charity)
Joe DiMaggio signed 8x10 photo (Score Board COA)
Mickey Mantle signed 8x10 photo (Score Board COA)
That sucks...sorry to hear about that deal! Hope you're able to get things straightened out. If you have more pictures of basketball autos, post them here and you'll probably get some pretty informed opinions on their authenticity.
That is honestly, one of the worst fake autographs, I have ever seen

The Google Affiliate Takedown of 2009: is Direct Linking now too "parasitical" for Google, and is this resulting in banned AdWords accounts?
Warning and Disclaimer: the following is the thoughts and opinions of the author only.
In April 2009, Amazon.com in North America effectively "fired" part of their affiliate community by terminating commission payments resulting from direct linking campaigns in AdWords. Why?
They obviously had very good reasons for doing so, probably like
- channel competition
- inflated bid prices
- poor conversion
- unproductive traffic and unnecessary associated costs (bandwidth, hosting etc.)
Is Google now doing the same?
And is Google squaring up to Amazon with its own Affiliate network, and Commercial Search?
The Internet is currently awash with reports of cancelled AdWords accounts, and no one seems to know the true reason behind this.
Google is not talking.
In fact, they won't. They are automated, and have their procedures.
The human operators behind Google have to obey the rules of their machine.
As a Google Agency Partner, I talk to their European HQ staff, and I have tried and failed to revive legitimate accounts advertising legitimate products and services that have fallen victim to the machine.
If the machine shuts you down, the humans cannot resurrect you. They serve IT – not you.
Many people are affected, some of them long time Google adwords account holders, some of them even doing nothing other than keyword research
Whilst I have no direct proof, other than what I can infer from what I read online and hear from colleagues, and based on my own five years experience in the industry, I have some ideas and thoughts that I think are relevant and may offer some explanation.
Anyone who has been managing AdWords campaigns for a number of years knows that Google has been forced to fundamentally change their system several times.
Usually because someone was "gaming the system". And always in the interests of serving their users better.
The days of writing AFF in your ads are long over, yet the basic principle still applies. Although, perhaps now the clock is ticking …
Google seems to be unwilling to collaborate any longer with marketers who are using AdWords accounts without adding any value and relevance to their users. And even stealing from them…
In the past they would just take your money – but they no longer need to.
Now they have the knowledge and technology to know what doesn't work, what does, and how to deploy it.
Direct Linking
The problem I believe lies with reprehensible Affiliate practices over the years (the few affecting the many), and direct linking as of the present day (which implicitly embodies the latter). In other words, Direct Linking = Affiliate
By linking directly, you clearly demonstrate you do not own or control the contents of the landing page you are linking to. Because someone else owns it.
If you cannot control your landing page you cannot know its value, or improve your Landing Page Quality Score (LPQS). Neither (implicitly) do you care – or you would create your own.
Do you think Amazon knows the value of its own pages? You bet! But could you – ever?
If you run direct linking campaigns, you are a member of a community which I believe Google no longer wants (or can afford) to be in any way associated with. Witness the ruthlessness of their current clamp-down.
Direct Linking is the biggest give-away to everything Google hates (Note their carefully chosen banning terminology of "egregious" to describe these activities. The dictionary definition is "offensive").
Don't forget Google measures page load and abandonment times – so they know what their users consider "offensive". None better.
Typical affiliate practices (you know who you are) can include:
- attempted multiple use of promotional vouchers
- repeated payment failures
- switching credit cards
- switching adwords accounts
- serial offenders and their locale (think IP)
- poor campaign construction
- poor campaign performance
- poor ads
- highly inflamatory ads
- bidding wars on the same url
- huge keyword lists
- "set it and forget it", then move on, campaigns
- "bandwagon" campaigns
- ripping off other affiliate's campaigns and hijacking their success
- bidding strategies designed to stonewall other competing affiliates and price them out
- not tracking results
- not testing improvements
and more …
Owning your Content
The members of this community promote offers they have no control over, and only believe they are – or could be – successful with because they are spying on all the other members of the community.
Another aspect of not "owning your page content" is that these pages will constantly change (think of an Amazon page and how it evolves) and can be taken down completely without you even knowing.
To quote Bud Fox's father in the great movie Wall Street — "create something of value, instead of living off the buying and selling of others"
This results in huge duplication, artificial search spikes, channel conflict, artificially inflated bid prices, many unsuccessful advertisers, penalisation of legitimate advertisers, huge churn on AdWords accounts, and lots of unhappy and frustrated people — both advertisers and consumers.
So much so that the FTC is now involved. And that Google is suing a company in Utah for a series of bogus work-at-home schemes (finally)
With that much heat, something is having to give.
I believe there's also an SEO dimension to this.
It's been observed many times before that Google is constantly evolving Paid Search (AdWords PPC) to more closely follow their Organic, or Natural Ranking model. I remember years ago when I spotted by accident, for example, that keywords in urls had started to be bolded like in the Search results (they weren't originally).
A direct linking ad has no content, it's like an empty page. It has no value. So, why should it "rank"?
User feedback
I recall my days many years ago of working as a support engineer for a UNIX computer systems manufacturer.
People we had sold these systems to would occasionally call us for help with a weird problem.
When I asked under what circumstances they saw the error condition, and what was happening, I sometimes felt like asking them: "you're using it to do — what?"
Because the users of our systems would frequently be using them in a way we had never before seen. Or designed for.
Although frustrating, because there was a fault we had a responsibility to fix (and sometimes at our own cost), our benefit was that we were able to improve our level of support to our users. And improve our product. For our users benefit. Positive feedback …
Don't forget that Google's founders are engineers and mathematicians who have created the most sophisticated global advertising platform that the world has ever seen.
It's hardly surprising then that such a powerful engine has over the years, and continues to be, used in ever more creative ways, and frequently not in the interests of Google's users. And if not Google's users, then certainly not Google themselves.
So beware.
If you are direct linking, you could be considered a "speculator" or "opportunity-seeker".
Worse, maybe even a "pimp" or "scammer".
Worst of all, potentially a thief, or associated with them even if unwittingly. Ignorance is no longer an excuse, or tolerated.
These are not the sort of individuals that Google wants to be associated with.
A Real Business
Google is in business for the long term, and wants to work in partnership with "real businesses" who have solid, tangible commercial products, services and information that people want to buy, use and benefit from.
This is also probably informing Google's recent roll out of their increasing number of display-based e-commerce product advertising solutions based on their Merchant Centre.
Real products, for real customers. You can't use Merchant Centre if you don't own or wholesale your products. Affiliates – keep out …
The Squeeze
Also associated with direct linking campaigns, and the kinds of landing pages they typically use, is the requirement that the page visitor always has to surrender something of value first (namely their e-mail address) before they get to see what is actually on offer. A "squeeze page".
Can you imagine Amazon asking you for your e-mail address before showing their store pages? At what part of the buying cycle should you expect to need to give away your e-mail address?
In my opinion – only when I have seen everything I need to see to allow me to make my informed decision to buy, and then only to facilitate essential communication for me to receive my order.
I should not have to give away something precious (and potentially open to misuse) just in order to see whether I might be interested in what you have.
Let me see your offer first in full, and if I want it I'll buy it – and only then are you entitled to ask for my e-mail address, since it is now in my own interest to give it to you (not yours).
The lesson?
Perhaps Google is now really waking up to their wider responsibilities.
As a former corporate manager of suppliers and services, this is what makes most sense to me.
Disliked or mistrusted as they may be, Google is a servant of the Internet, and it's users. And, as publishers, so are we …
So, to succeed on Google:
Give first, then you may receive – if what you freely give, truly has the value I need.

I decided not to wait for may Supertuck and put my new HK in a Uncle Mike IWB holster and headed for the range to break it in. I stopped by Wally World for a stroll. Checked out the magazines(nothing new), walked past the Subway/nacho stand(just ate), picked up a extra long polo style shirt, picked up some per supplies and gazed sadly at the nearly empty ammo shelf.
As I headed for the range, I realized there was another WW near the range. I made a short walk through just to check for ammo. I was able to get a "mega pack" of Rem UMC.
All in all a good trip

Hi All,
Had the car in at Bexley Motor Works today and thought I'd just post here to say that I am was very pleased with the work... I took the car in as it had used a little coolant (again) and I wanted to know why. The guys at Bexley Motor Works couldn't find a fault but changed the coolant etc. and put my mind a rest. I also had a creak coming from the front of the and they diagnosed worn/old control arm bushes but no need to replace them straight off and no pressure to either!!!!
They only charged the hours labour and consumables but had pressure and crack/sniff tested head when hot and cold and had it on test all day!!!
These guys know their stuff and are courteous and honest (rare these days I find). In short I would recommend these guys!!!!

Microsoft bid may be Yahoo's only choice
Published 10:00 pm, Thursday, March 13, 2008
Without a viable alternative to Microsoft Corp.'s acquisition bid, Yahoo Inc.'s management may "soon be forced to accept reality and sell the company," an analyst predicted Thursday, as a tech news site reported that the two sides have talked informally.
Six weeks after Microsoft made its unsolicited, $44.6 billion offer to buy the Internet icon, Yahoo's options appear to be running out, wrote Jeffrey Lindsay, a Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. analyst, in a note to clients. Lindsay wrote that he expects Yahoo's upcoming quarterly financial results to be "mediocre," which could increase the pressure to consider Microsoft's offer.
Latest business videos
It's possible to "all but rule out performance improvement as a viable alternative to match the value of Microsoft's bid," Lindsay wrote. Other alternatives, such as an acquisition of AOL by Yahoo, face "near-insurmountable" problems, he added.
Technology news site CNet News.com, citing an anonymous source, reported that Yahoo and Microsoft have held "informal talks." However, CNet also reported that Microsoft would have disclosed the talks publicly if they were deemed substantive.
Neither Microsoft nor Yahoo would comment on the report.
It's the latest twist in the high-profile standoff between the companies. Yahoo has been searching for alternatives in an attempt to thwart Microsoft's move. Microsoft, meanwhile, appears content to wait it out.
"I think Microsoft is prepared to stick with it," said Matt Rosoff, an analyst at independent research firm Directions on Microsoft. "I don't think they have any intention of backing away."
After Microsoft made its offer, Yahoo reportedly explored alternatives including a partnership with News Corp., parent of the MySpace social networking site and other online properties. But News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch said this week that his company was "not going to get into a fight with Microsoft."
Earlier this week, Time Warner Chief Executive Jeff Bewkes didn't explicitly rule out the possibility of a deal between its AOL unit and Yahoo. But it's not clear how AOL's $850 million acquisition of social networking service Bebo, announced Thursday, might affect Time Warner's thinking about a Yahoo deal.
Another alternative, discussed initially, was for Yahoo to outsource its search business to Google. That possibility may have been revived now that Google has completed its acquisition of online ad giant DoubleClick, Lindsay wrote in his report. He explained that Google may have backed away previously because it didn't want potential regulatory concerns about a Yahoo deal to complicate antitrust review of its DoubleClick acquisition.
However, he called the possibility of a Google deal "remote."
Yahoo announced Feb. 11 that its board believed Microsoft's proposal substantially undervalued the company. Microsoft's options include nominating an alternative slate of directors for Yahoo's board. Last week, Yahoo pushed back the deadline for nominating directors, avoiding that fight for now.
"In short we think Yahoo has bought itself another month or so, but at this juncture do not see any reasonably viable alternatives other than the remote possibility of Google re-entering the fray," wrote Lindsay, the Bernstein analyst, in his report.
In addition, he wrote, the decision to delay the deadline "opens up a risk that Microsoft could withdraw its bid and reinstate it later at a lower price."
Microsoft shares closed at $28.62 Thursday, down 1 cent. Yahoo closed at $27.50, a decline of 95 cents or 3.3 percent.

It's been a good and sad week. Jordan and I have been out for dinner and drinks to celebrate
him leaving. It has gone so quickly. It's already November. I can't believe it. Only six more weeks and I'm off to Europe to see Jords!
Counting down the days!!
Jordan left on Thursday morning at 4:00am. The night before we took it easy, as Jordan
did not want to be hung over when he was flying. He had learned his lesson from Vancouver and knew how painful it could be
need to lighten the luggage. Jordan had his main suite case, his bike bag filled with jackets and shoes, and finally his backpack. I picked up the bike bag and nearly broke my back. I don't think
Jordan was keen on lagging it around all the airports. Ha ha. So we get to the airport and it's freezing cold when we get out the cab. Not liking the cold!
Jordan gets charged $65 for both his bags. Which is not a good start to the trip, as he has four more flights to catch.... and more money to be spent on luggage.
We check the TV and Jordan's flight is boarding. Surprisingly, the airport was really busy, so he needed to get in line. We said our good byes!! I was pretty sad and I waited until Jordan got through the security check point. We must have waved good bye like a thousand times.
I cried!! I also saw a black Labrador, just like Eski which was with security guards. This made me upset to! Good bye Jords, I know he will be living it up in London as I type this. I got a cab home
and it was like a daze. I got back home and had a quick snooze.
I woke up and skyped with my family. Sype is amazing! If anyone has it add me ceilidh.robertson. I even got to see my Little Eskos! I spoke with my parents and they had a wonderful time in Japan.
They said it was very expensive, but very nice! My father had arranged to meet up with a friend
who he worked with in Monaco, who is now working in Japan. Tony gave my
parents the grand tour and took them to many temples. Tony said the company he works
for are looking for staff. The company provides a house and transport to work.
Dad has already sent them his resume. So fingers crossed. Looks like Jordan and I are off to Japan after Europe.... It just keeps on getting better. I also got to see my brother, who
was super excited about coming to America. He flys to Dubai, NY then to Florida.
He is in Florida as we speak. Lucky duck! Then on Thursday he flys back to NY and I meet
with him on Friday. So excited. Breck has already booked us tickets for Dirty South for
the Friday night- a wicked DJ. Saturday we are doing a movie tour, Sunday Empire State and pubs, clubs and restaurants........ oh and shopping in between. It will be so good to see my bro.
He will stand out due to his accent. I'm also really excited about going back to NY.
Uni in the morning was great, we have just started Vitamins and minerals in my animal
nutrition class. We are looking at deficiencies and how to fix them. I really enjoy this class and hope to pursue something similar back home. I will have to finish my degree first before I try something else. My other class Neuroscience was great to. It's the first time in 6 weeks I have
actually understood the lecture. Ha ha. We are discussing the biological clock. The professor has
some really interesting research which he loves to share. Anyway enough about uni.
Every Friday the international students association holds Coffee hour. Coffee hour is somewhere all the international students can meet up and get to know each other, or just catch up.
There is always a theme to the free food that they put on. Sometimes people do presentations
about their country. It is always good to go. After coffee hour, I went out for dinner with Jovana and Tom. Jovana is from Montenegro and Tom is from England. After dinner I met Jovana and Maria at the bar in town. Their friends band was playing. It was a really fun night! We ended up going back to Jovanas friends place till late to continue the party. One of the guys from the band
is not a student, he is stuck here until he has enough money to go back to Colorado. Ha ha.
I thought that was funny. So, was really good to get out and meet some new people.
Have finally met some wicked, fun and interesting people!
Today I got to skype with Jordan. It made me so happy!!!!! He seams to have settled in.
There are two Portuguese girls and a guy in his dorm room. He said a kiwi chick and all her bros mates were there to. He has been riding his bike around and exploring. He is still adjusting after flying and lay over for over 36 hours. Fuk, something to look forward to hey (for me, when I go).
Anyway he seemed in good spirits and there is heaps to do. He said the location is great and central to many bars, restaurants and shops. The weather is also warmer then Maine, so hes
pretty stoked about that. Being in a t-shirt in the day. Heaven.
Ok guys that's whats been happening in my life. I can't believe how quickly this is all going.
Not long now till Christmas and 40 degrees days in Perth. How nice! Missing Jords, missing family, eski and tarj and missing friends! But still enjoying myself and looking forward to more new experiences and more travel tales.
My next post will be from NEW YORK CITY.
Hopefully Jordan will start posting his journey too!
Sorry guys, no photographs!

hi ,
i can handle with that but its curious me to know ....
when try to connect to any webSite (eg. google) by typing the ip adress and port number (22.214.171.124:80) i get
"the web page cant be displayed...bla bla bla " (in fire fox it works fine) probably something in IE8 settings i didn't find...
1. i can type just the ip adress - works
2. i can type http://[ipAdress] - works
3. in fireFox it works in any kind of way
conclution : i cant connect to a site by typing just the ip adress and port number [IpAdress:port] in explorer 8
if i want to connect to ftp site (for eg. 126.96.36.199:21- not working , but ftp://22.214.171.124 - works , the same in FireFox , probably for security reason that i can change but didnt find where.... ( i know its funny question , but i curious to now... -:)
THANKS ( i use windows 7 , by the way )
How-To Geek Forums / Windows 7
internet explorer 8(2 posts)
hi ,
Works fine for me on IE8 (32 bit, I'm on 64 Bit Win7), but Google is at 188.8.131.52. I entered that IP Address and 184.108.40.206:80 and they both work?
Go to TOOLS ==> INTERNET OPTIONS and under SECURITY and PRIVACY see if you can change or reset them?
If you are on the 64 bit version of W7, see if you also have the problem with the 64 bit version of IE8? It worked as well for me. It is in PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER (HELP --> ABOUT will tell you which version you are running).

Support in Crisis
Solidarity in a Crisis supports people in distress by providing out of hours emotional support over the phone and in person. The service is run by Peer Supporters who have their own experience of facing and overcoming crisis.
By sharing life experiences, Peer Supporters can promote recovery and enhance feelings of belonging, especially for those who feel isolated. All our Peer Supporters are highly trained and receive on-going support. Their work exemplifies the project's underlying ethos; that it is possible to approach a mental health crisis in a holistic and person-centred way. It has been an important part of this project to recognise that active and non-judgemental listening, love, and empathy can be very effective tools in supporting individuals experiencing distress and/or a mental health crisis.
This service is available in the borough of Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham. You can contact them directly:

The Dodgers' anticipated sale to Guggenheim Baseball Management LLC was cast into doubt Tuesday when two objections were filed with the bankruptcy court overseeing the process.
The Associated Press reported Fox is objecting to the proposed sale on grounds that the incoming ownership group has not disclosed whether Time Warner Cable is involved in the purchase.
Fox's Prime Ticket subsidiary filed the objection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. It asked for written assurance Time Warner wasn't contributing funds being used for Guggenheim's purchase of the team from Frank McCourt and the incoming owners don't have any formal or informal agreements for the team's broadcast rights starting in 2014.
According to multiple reports, Guggenheim Partners - the primary entity bankrolling the $2.15 billion purchase - is drawing money from subsidiaries that include insurance companies. Those insurance companies count unspecified investors as clients.
"Our filing today was a routine administrative filing to ensure our rights are protected," Fox Sports spokesman Chris Bellitti told the Associated Press.
Fox has an exclusive 45-day period starting in October to try to negotiate a new contract with the team, according to the report. The current contract also prohibits the Dodgers from talking to other potential buyers of the media rights before Nov. 30 and gives Fox a limited right of first refusal on competing offers received after that date.
"The Los Angeles Dodgers anticipate confirmation of the debtors' plan of reorganization on schedule," a Dodgers spokesperson said in a statement. "The Debtors view Fox's objection as without merit."
The AP also reported Major League Baseball filed an objection by saying Guggenheim had not set aside enough money to satisfy what it is owed by the Dodgers.
A hearing to confirm the sale agreement is scheduled for Friday.
Torre talks
MLB's executive vice president of baseball operations was at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday. That might not qualify as news, except for the fact Joe Torre was re-appointed to the position in March.
The former Dodgers manager (2008-10) vacated his post with MLB during the off-season to join a group bidding to buy the team. Torre declined to comment on the winning $2.15 billion bid by Guggenheim or the details of outgoing owner Frank McCourt's attempt to maintain control of the stadium parking lots.
"We had good intentions," said Torre, who partnered with Rick Caruso's bid. "It didn't pan out. It was a long shot to begin with."
In an extended interview, Torre also lavished high praise upon Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw and center fielder Matt Kemp.
"He probably could be the best player in baseball right now, age considered," Torre said of Kemp. "Albert (Pujols) is a little older but you have to put (Kemp) in that category."
Torre apologized for comparing Kershaw to Sandy Koufax during Kershaw's rookie season, a comparison that seemed plenty justified after Kershaw won the 2011 NL Cy Young Award.
"He had the hunger, the hunger to learn and get better," Torre said. "He's a very special young man. A very proud, very special, very confident young man."

Hope You're Enjoying Your Saturday

I think this is darling and hey, what better a pic that this one on the Saturday of a 4th of July weekend?
A group of students in Sao Paulo, Brazil, recently constructed a giant monkey out of thousands of flip-flops! Designed for the Pixelshow 2010this fun sculpture currently lies innocently in a local park ready to amuse and entertain passersby on their daily strolls. And if you're concerned about the final destination of all this colorful footwear, don't worry – it's almost summertime in São Paolo, and plenty of people are ready to trade in their boots for something more breathable.
Stay cool if you can (a big if).

After years of being dismissed as a supplier of online computer services to startups and small businesses, Amazon Web Services (AWS) beat out IBM this year to snag a $600 million contract with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), America's top spy agency.
IBM has successfully appealed its loss in the contest, stalling it for now. But the episode highlights how Amazon is evolving from an online retailer into a competitive provider of information technology and services to big companies, and government bodies.
That has helped push Amazon shares to a new record of $309.39 ahead of the company's second-quarter results due on Thursday.
AWS generates at least $2 billion a year in revenue now from a total pie of more than $60 billion, according to analysts who expect that to quintuple to more than $10 billion in coming years, partly driven by higher government cloud spending.
Amazon has begun to build a portfolio of significant clients, including Samsung, Pfizer, the Public Broadcasting Service and NASA, the U.S. space agency.
That unexpected threat is rippling through the sector.

Date of Stay: October, 2010
We have been going to Little Charlie Creek for several years and have never had a problem with theft. We were here when the negative comments were posted and know that the incidents that were commented on that were said to happen in May 2010 did not occur. Some people were evicted from the park during that time frame and said many negative things about the park. We love the park, come here every year, and know it's safe - please come by and check it out for yourself.
Date of Stay: February, 2010
Not too bad of a park, would be nicer if large rec hall was air conditioned. Would stay there again.

(LOS ANGELES) — Lindsay Lohan is a working actress again. Principal photography began Monday in Los Angeles on her latest project: a Lifetime movie about Elizabeth Taylor's romance with Richard Burton.
Liz & Dick stars Lohan as Taylor and True Blood and GCB actor Grant Bowler as Burton.
Lifetime has released a black-and-white photo of both actors in their respective roles. Bowler is seen kissing the neck of a glamorous-looking Lohan.
TMZ.com previously posted a photo of Lohan in a dress holding a cigarette as she does her best Taylor imitation. The website reports Lohan has cut her hair a few inches and dyed it brown in order to replicate Taylor's look.
Liz & Dick is set to air on Lifetime this November.

National Cherry Month is as Sweet as Can Bee
Posted by National Honey Board on February 22, 2017 - 9:31 PM
It's National Cherry Month, and we think there are few partnerships sweeter than honey bees and cherries. You may recall our recent blog post about the importance of honey bees to the almond crop, but did you know that honey bees are also responsible for pollinating many of our favorite fruits and vegetables too?
Following the busy almond pollination, honey bees are trucked across the country to pollinate many other crops, from cucumbers to alfalfa to, yes, even cherries. Responsible for nearly 80 percent of insect pollination, honey bees will be very busy the next few months, and we thought what better way to celebrate their work than with a few delicious honey-inspired recipes featuring the fruit of the month – cherries.
From granola bars to cocktails, cherries are almost as versatile an ingredient as ...Read Full Post »

Check it out Bonnie is starting to post some news about her next mystery quilt starting Labor Day weekend. Sounds like fun.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Check it out Bonnie is starting to post some news about her next mystery quilt starting Labor Day weekend. Sounds like fun.
It DOES sound like fun. I'd have to stay up all weekend and probably still wouldn't get it done! :lol: A quilty slumber party...
oooh that could be fun quiltwoman!!!
I'm off to check out the site!
oooh that mystery looks interesting too and I just love autumn colours!!! I am going to have to sit down this weekend and write up the list of things I am doing now, what HAS to be completed before the end of the month, what I need left to make for Christmas gifts and what other things I want to complete. I still have to put my last mystery from Bonnie together. I have all the blocks completed, I just need to sew them into a quilt top!
I also just signed up for a few more things on this forum!! We quilters sure know how to spread ourselves thin! But we HATE to miss out on these projects here!!!
And on that note, hmmm I think I will start that list now as I just remember I am heading out of town this weekend to Bonavista!
I just Looove Bonnie's website! I can get lost in her inspiration for HOURS!
Help, what is the website that you are talking about? Would like to see it, to know if I would like to do the myster quilt. Thanks
I looked at her last mystery quilt and have to say it was quite stunning. But, I also thought it was difficult. All the angles.
But, her Orange Crush quilt is just stunning. I like it very much, but don't have the guts to undertake it.
Her latest one she's starting is looking very interesting. She's a real pro.
I'm going to be posting a lot of mystery quilts for my blog.
I did her Happy Scrappy Quilts pattern and made two quilts with it. So much fun. will have to check out her new mystery quilt. Marge
I did the orange crush mystery quilt was a lot of fun and learned alot from her. It wasn't as hard as i thought.
Orange Crush last mystery quilt
Pam you did a good job at your mystery quilt. Mine is still cut up in pieces in a box. I see you are hooked on mystery quilts!!!1

Date of Stay: June, 2011
Although it was only an overnight stay this place was beautiful. Well manicured facilities and very pleasant staff! I would camp there anytime we were in the area!
Date of Stay: June, 2011
This is a deplorable facility. Filthy registration area with an overhang across the road causing us to back our fifth wheel out of the registration area onto a side road marked DO NOT ENTER! We were taken to our site which had a 15 amp outlet and a 30 amp burned out outlet. Taken to another site that looked like seasonals had just departed and filthy with many trees prohibiting safe parking! Long story short we called the NJ State police to help us get our money back so we could leave! After 2 and 1/2 hours in the campground we left with a credit! If you are considering this campground, DON'T!

Gwyneth Paltrow Really, Really Hated The Met Gala
Maybe she's just getting old and boring.
Gwyneth Paltrow elaborated a bit more on why she hated this year's Met Gala during an interview (lovingly transcribed by The Cut) with two Australian radio DJ's who had won a dinner with the actress in an auction. Here's what she said:
"It sucked. It seems like the best thing in the world. You think,'Oh my god, it's going to be so glamorous and amazing, and you're going to see all these famous people.' And then you get there, and it's so hot, and so crowded, and everyone's pushing you. This year it was really intense. It wasn't fun! Kanye West was playing, and he was furious, and he threw his microphone down."

Voice for Player Character in Skyrim
To Whom It May Concern from Newbie Ignorant of Channels but full of Opinions:
Would it be possible for the player character in Skyrim to have a voice? "Prisoner" shouts a bit and I have heard the occasional "Is that the best you've got?" in combat, and, of course, the Thu'um, but for general interactions the player remains oddly mute. The text option for dialogues are needed, obviously, but, once selected, I would like to hear the responses I give. It would take only one generic male and one generic female to read the lines. However, an ambitious game designer could make race-specific sound bites for those hot non-human types. You could even make voice an option in character creation at the beginning of the game, with sliders for selecting gender, tone, accent... I have played games with such features and, actually, I was surprised to find it wanting in a world as elaborate as Skyrim, where even a Dragon has a Tongue.
Sequels are inevitably subject to comparison with predecessors, and I succumb to the temptation. Oblivion had a more flexible, wider ranging, user friendly character creation module, though it, too lacked voice for the player. The non player characters were brilliantly played, though, and I once dragged Martin Septim across Cyrodill for three months (real time - three years game time) just so I could hear Sean Bean say "Let's continue on to Weynon Priory.." ( God how I love that man!) The relationship ended badly, though. He turned into a stone dragon and I didn't even get to be the mother of the new emperor. All I received for saving civilization as we know it was a crummy suit of enchanted armour not even as powerful as the one I was wearing - and I had to wait two weeks to get it! BIG letdown. Ah well...
So how about it? Voices? Text does not convey inflection, and in communication, intonation is jarl. Oh? Oh. Oh... Oh!
Love, Kiera

One More Thing
On the subject of interaction, I would like to see a spousal dialogue that does not turn an arguably "convenient" marriage into a purely mercantile arrangement. (There is a name for such relationships and it is not marriage). So, in response to... let's say Ysolda's... cheery "What do you need, my love?", options could include:
Got anything for killer bruises?
I need a hug.
How about a kiss?
Come to bed...
A footrub would be nice.
A cold drink, a hot bath, a warm bed and a soft wife - not necessarily in that order.
Just wanted to say - I love you.
(or offer three create your own dialogue options for players who want to start a fight or have special wishes. The spouse won't respond, but the player will get it off his\her chest)
To "Back from some adventure, I bet" one could reply:
I kicked
I got kicked.
Want to see what I found?
Sit down and I'll tell you about it.
I've brought you a gift [and give it out of inventory. Spouse will wear it, not sell it]
I'm off again. Don't wait up.
I missed you. It's good to be home again.
(Keep the what's for dinner option)
For a really big surprise there could be a one time random chance that the wife will announce "we're pregnant"
Also, since lover's comfort is a perk, why not have the player lie down on the bed as non player characters do, and watch the player sleep out the clock instead of staring at a black screen on rest. It's in the game already, it just needs to be applied to the player. On waiting the player could sit down (on the ground if outdoors)and play mumblety peg, throw knives into the dirt, whittle, toss stones, play cards with follower... Something
More diffucult to achieve would be dog dialogues that include sit, stay, down, fetch, QUIET - feed dog, pet dog, praise dog, play catch with dog, groom dog.... Make the thing more than a nuisance who gets underfoot and barks too much. The dog should also go into hunt mode (crouch, stalk silently) when the player sneaks.
If it is impossible to have a useful, fun, pleasant, quiet dog, create a house cat.
And could players ever play some of those instruments lying about? After all, we did go to Bard College.
If I had the skill I would offer these changes as mods, but I don't so I'm hoping someone else will be inspired to make it so.
That's it for now. Thanks for listening.

I don't think this would work well because of the different races. It's not like Mass Effect where you can only be a human and just change the appearance somewhat.
Besides, some people don't like a voiced protagonist.

I would think Bethesda's own forums would be the proper place to put suggestions about their game(s). This place is for suggestions about things Valve runs/owns (and Skyrim isn't one of them)... :x

I have recently "gotten into it" with the SPCB pest control board about a call I recieved from a pest control guy who I left a message for about swarm collecting. He informed me I had to have a pest license in TX to take from dwellings or charge. The boards legal dept stated that was true. But I could set the test to be licensed with no prior experience and get a license?????? So I get them for free or pay a dollar to the customers.....excuse me....beekeepers who want to sell a colony on their house. Please check with your state regs about bee removal. In Dallas and Ft Worth there are a couple of people who believe that it is their duty to keep us out of"PEST CONTROL!"
Or their pockets whatever they want to live with.
Sorry for the ramble. Let the Grasshoppers live.

5.0 stars 2 totalReview Gideon Dionne
Posted by Caleb
Gideon was very receptive to our needs from the very beginning. We contacted him to help us start a new small business. We were looking for help on government documents and with forming an LLC. he immediately started the ball rolling and had us on a timeline which he always stuck too. If he was unavailable then he would let us know prior. Everything that we asked for was provided for us as well as much more. He explained all the aspects of a small business start up and even included things that we were completely unaware of, such as intellectual property (ideas) and different ways to split ownership vesting. All legal government forms were handled by Gideon in a timely manner and it made things very easy for us as a business. Even though he took on many of the responsibilities, he never failed to keep us totally informed on every action he was taking.
He acted very professional throughout the entire process and even volunteered conference calls on the weekend to accomodate our busy schedules. Everything was clearly lined out for us as a company and Gideon also continued to follow through after our business was done just to check on our Company's well being.
The pricing was great and the service he delivered was of far greater worth than what was charged!!
I would reccommend using Gideon to anyone that is looking to start a small business.
Posted by Wendy
I am a Realestate Broker. I hired Gideon for two legal issues.
I currently upgraded my license to Employing Broker and I was working in a commercial Coop transaction with another Broker.
Gideon was highly recommended to me by my son. I am usually uptight when working with the lawyers because I am not always sure of the right question to ask.
I felt very comfortable with Gideon he is easy to talk with, he was very prompt with needed information and the results were outstanding. Although I am more impressed by how well he heard all my needs. Gideon also advised me with issues concerning relationships and agency that he could see I needed.
I would highly recommend this attorney.
I will be using him for my company in the future.
