Three to Focus On: Jets @ Broncos, Week 11
Three to Focus On: Jets @ Broncos, Week 11
When these teams met in 2010, the Jets pulled out a fourth quarter comeback after shutting down the Broncos'—at the time—celebrated passing game, dealing a demoralizing blow that Denver never recovered from. In fact, the Broncos went on to suffer a 59-14 beat down at home against Oakland the next week that effectively crippled their season. After the Jets were dealt a similar demoralizing loss against the Patriots last week, will they respond by putting the clamps on the Broncos' offense once again, or fade further out of the picture in the AFC East? With the Ravens and Bengals both sitting at 6-3, the 5-4 Jets can ill afford an upset here if they are to contend for a playoff spot at all.
For probably the first time all year, contending for the playoffs isn't a concept that applies solely to the Broncos' opponents. Indeed, despite being a noticeably inferior team, the Broncos might just have a better shot at a playoff spot than the Jets do now that New York is effectively two games behind New England. Playing in the AFC West is a luxury teams like the Jets would love to have.
When a team runs the ball 55 times and attempts just eight passes and still wins, it's fair to wonder if teams are taking them very seriously despite their success. If the Lions' defense's post-game comments a few weeks ago are any indication, they don't. If the Broncos come away with a win here, it's a safe bet that opposing defenses will absolutely be taking them seriously in the future. Here are three intriguing matchups to watch for in a Thursday Night Football game that should appeal to those fond of defensive showdowns.
Jets offensive line vs. Broncos pass rush
It feels a little ridiculous to be highlighting the Broncos' pass rush as a threat in a game preview, but that's how far Von Miller (+34.7) has taken this defense in his rookie season. The Broncos have generated little pressure outside of Miller, but his play has ascended to another level the past two games and Miller's teammates began feeding off his efforts last week. For the Broncos to upset the Jets, they could use another productive game in the pass rush department. Mark Sanchez does a fine job when he isn't feeling the pressure (+21.0) but a quarterback is defined by his ability to make strong throws in the face of pressure and Sanchez has performed miserably in that respect (-8.0), completing only 18 passes in 90 drop-backs.
Right tackle Wayne Hunter (-9.9) has improved after an awful first three games, but he faces quite a challenge in the explosive rookie linebacker who has recorded at least one pressure in each of his NFL games. Miller rushes predominantly from the left, so Hunter will need to be in top form to have a chance of making this the first time. DRE Elvis Dumervil has picked up three sacks in the past two games and is worth keeping an eye on as well. Considering the Broncos have scored over 20 points only once in Tebow's four starts this season, they could use all the help their defense can give them.
Broncos interior offensive line vs. Jets defensive line
The Broncos have shown that they can win without even bothering to pretend they have a passing game, but it's a different story to win without a passing game or a successful running game. If the Broncos can't get some push on their interior runs, they will be in a world of trouble trying to win the game exclusively at the perimeter. Center J.D. Walton (-14.7) fed Kyle Orton a bad snap that ultimately cost the Broncos the game against the Jets last year, and a rebound for him would be huge for Denver. He had a good game against a good nose tackle in Kelly Gregg last week, but he'll need an even stronger effort to get the best of Sione Pouha (+10.2).
Willis McGahee's status is still up in the air—and he likely won't be at 100% effectiveness if he does play—and Lance Ball is an adequate third-down back, but Walton and guards Chris Kuper (-4.0) and Zane Beadles (-16.5) need to help whoever gets the ball to pick up decent chunks of yardage consistently up the middle. If those first down runs up the gut are stuffed, Denver won't be able to get away with handing the ball off every down. For the Broncos' offensive gameplan to work, they need to put themselves in 3rd-and-short situations or they simply won't have a chance to sustain drives. The Kuper-Beadles-Walton trio needs to consistently get the better of a more accomplished group of Pouha, Muhammad Wilkerson, and Mike Devito (+5.0) for Denver to be able to play the way they did last week.
Broncos wide receivers vs. Jets secondary
You might be thinking this is an odd choice for a matchup to watch out for; after all, the Broncos threw the ball only eight times last week. Not to mention the fact that we're talking about a matchup between a relatively unaccomplished and inexperienced group of receivers and a secondary that contains Darrelle Revis (+12.5). However, that line of thinking is exactly why this is a matchup to look out for. The Chiefs became sloppy fairly quickly, focusing so intently on the run after Tebow didn't attempt a pass in the first quarter that Broncos receivers, Eric Decker in particular, were able to get behind the secondary deep downfield on his few second-quarter pass attempts. Decker repeated the feat for a long touchdown in the fourth quarter.
The Jets' secondary certainly has the skill and experience to handle Denver's receivers, but no matter how good a defense is, it's hard not to sell out against the run when you're certain it's coming every down. A veteran free safety like Jim Leonhard should have the discipline to not get lazy against the deep ball, or else Decker could find himself with another long touchdown even if Tebow again keeps his attempts in the single-digits. Decker, Eddie Royal, and Demaryius Thomas may not get a lot of opportunities to catch the ball in this game, but any one of them has a shot at a deep ball when the Broncos try to catch the secondary off guard. We'll be watching to see who in that secondary keeps their focus, or who's going to have some explaining to do in the film room when they're caught cheating up against Tebow and the run.

I have been playing around with options and have found a couple simple ways to improve performance:

1.- Set SELinux to "permissive", or even disable it. Of course, do this at your own risk, but I don't see a huge security risk in it. On the other hand, the performance gain is quite noticeable.

2.- Use the menu classic "outfit". Maybe not as fancy, but a lot more responsive. I also tweaked its settings and added the few applications I use to favorites. Then I hid the applications group, making the menu lighter and quicker.Chema Martínhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-82275382425458924262010-03-28T17:40:51.752-07:002010-03-28T17:40:51.752-07:00There is an application like kappfinder with which...There is an application like kappfinder with which you can easily find any application missing that is not listed in the kmenu.P Jhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-36754208509034822872010-03-28T08:05:38.253-07:002010-03-28T08:05:38.253-07:00@m_abs: Thanks for the tips, I have learnt a few ...@m_abs: Thanks for the tips, I have learnt a few nice tricks from yours and other posts here!

1)
Right click on the menu icon, select "menu edit". Find your application and select advanced, here you can add your keyboard shortcut.

2)
It's possible to drag'n'drop a shortcut from the launcher to the panel. (I keep doing it by accident on my macbook, because the touchpad is weird at times)

3)
I see your point, but I also don't see a good solusion for the problem.
When I need to access the running applications and services on my desktop, I want quick access to them. I also don't want them to take up space in my taskbar.
KDEs solution is pretty much what Windows does, autohide them. I only have four that is visible.

4)
The show-only-application-on-this-dekstop is one of the things I disable when I encounter it.
I find it more than annoying, that I can't see an application is running because it's not on the desktop my on. It usually result in me getting confused, as to where my application has disappeared too and where my data is.
You can easily get this behavior in KDE, I think it's just right click on the taskbar and going into settings for it. Or do as sebastian suggested.m_abshttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-13817326834337910152010-03-28T04:02:23.331-07:002010-03-28T04:02:23.331-07:00Thanks for all your comments and help, your sugges...Thanks for all your comments and help, your suggestions were great!

@mr bumpy: Thanks! I managed to get the docked windows filtered by desktop, but not with the option you mentioned. The one that worked for me was "Only show tasks from current screen". The drag & drop thingy didn't work, not even with widgets unlocked.

@Sebastian: Thank you! I finally managed to get the shortcut I needed to open Konsole, that was great! As for the icon theme and download feature, I understand what you are saying, it makes sense. What I don't understand is why they are keeping it there if they know for certain it will never work reliably! As far as I am concerned, things would be better off with a simple dialog which recommended visiting kde-look.org, or something along those lines.

@znurre: Cheers, glad you liked my review! I am not sure if it could be down to Fedora. Constantine should be rock solid by know, it's not like it was just released, so that's a strange one. Like I said, though, I could not reproduce it consistently, they are more like "one offs" that seem to appear more often than I am used to in Linux.

In general, even with the help from these wonderful posts, I think my point stands. Ease of use and intuitiveness are still immature in KDE.

- If keyboard shortcuts get a section under System settings, why bury the creation of new app shortcuts under a difficult to spot Kmenu editor tab?

- Similarly, even if it had worked for me, which it didn't, why would you need to keep widgets unlocked to drag and drop an application shortcut into the panel? I would think widgets and shortcuts should be treated differently.

I won't go on about it, but I think these are just a few examples of things that could easily throw back new comers, which is a shame considering the great work put in other areas.

Once again, thanks everyone for your comments and feedback.Chema Martínhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-12554457497200725152010-03-28T03:11:45.931-07:002010-03-28T03:11:45.931-07:00A very good and fair review.

I am using Arch Linux with KDE SC 4 since KDE SC 4.3.x and never experienced applications terminating unexpectedly or sessions restarting without any warnings.
Maybe it's a Fedora issue?

The only bugs I've noticed so far in KDE SC 4.4.x is that Plasma crashes from time to time (Not more than 2-3 times/week. I use some custom widgets, so maybe this is why) and that the process monitor won't show proper CPU/RAM usage, etc, but I think that is an Arch problem since it started happening in a recent system update.Znurrehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-64107200422914130982010-03-27T20:10:12.008-07:002010-03-27T20:10:12.008-07:00In response to #2, I think you have to "unloc...In response to #2, I think you have to "unlock widgets" before you can drag-and drop applications on your panel, but it should work.Mr_Bumpyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-48214568851085157542010-03-27T18:10:46.858-07:002010-03-27T18:10:46.858-07:00Well maybe I have a few answers for you: to 1) wel...Well maybe I have a few answers for you:
to 1) well you can set a shortcut to special application via the kmenueditor. Go to your application of choice and click on the tab "advanced" and then you can apply a shortcut for this app
to 2) of course you can drag&drop application from the starter menu to panel and even to the quicklaunch widget
to 3) you can select, whether an icon should be always, auto or never visible in the system tray settings, so its not as bad as in windows. But generally your right its a little bit overcrowed.
to 4) right click on the task manager > settings and you will find the option "only show tasks from current desktop". I think that will fill the gap.
to 5) Full Ack. Icon managment is weird in kde. But btw download often fails because the icon packages are not hosted on kde-look directly, but on third-party sides like rapidshare or private webspace. this is known limitation of the downloader (not just icons but e.g. wallpapers as well) and will not be fixed, because it cant be solved finally.

Hope this will help and dont forget to rummage a little bit in the settings, kde is a little bit shy :-)Sebastianhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551341941797780401.post-32035693239169630842010-03-27T16:30:02.190-07:002010-03-27T16:30:02.190-07:00Hi.

The overall feel does seem to lack some quality control, and crashes and glitchiness are easy to come by. In this regard, I feel KDE has actually taken a step back from the 4.3 series.

Despite all of this, I still prefer it over GNOME, so I will just keep contributing bug reports or whatever I can do to help the developers polish things up a bit.

Regarding the multiple desktops, you can change the behavior easily enough. Right-click in the window-selector area and select "Task Manager Settings". Then check the box below under "Filters" called "Only show tasks from the current desktop."Mr_Bumpyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

As a registered member, you'll be able to:
i have a Kenwood KAC-7285 amp 600w
i recently blew out my sub, probably cause it was too loud.
So im looking for a new one that my amp will not blow out
what would be a good sub for it.
i prefer a 12 inch sub, but open to other suggestions.
i would need a case most likely too.
i listen to rap, and electronic music if that helps.
it is a honda civic 97 coupe.
any help would be appreciated thanks !
Amp is 150W RMS x2 @4-ohms, 300Wx2@2-ohms, 600W RMS @4-ohms bridged.
Good subs would be a 500-600W RMS DVC-2-ohm or SVC-4-ohm model.
Alpine Type R - SWR-1223D would be good.
alei recently blew out my sub, probably cause it was too loud.
So im looking for a new one that my amp will not blow out
Typically you blow subs by setting the gain too high and sending a clipped signal to the sub. If you want a sub that that amp will not blow out (Ever), look for a sub that handles genuine 3000W RMS - but it won't sound good with your amp.
alei would need a case most likely too.
Hope This Helps!!!
Anyone else have suggestions?
2002 Ford Focus JVC KD-A815 Sony CDX-GT410u Sony XT-100HD HD Tuner Stock speakers, no amp, no subs
Are there any other subs you would recommend?
something less expensive ah
You want a subwoofer in a box for less than $200 ?
This should slam pretty hard with that amp - http://www.crutchfield.com/p_777B24/Sound-Ordnance-B-24.html?tp=112
i still havent decided on which sub to buy,
im thinking on the one tigerheli recommended, but should i get the 4 ohm or the 2 ohm sub?
this is my first system and im dont wanna mess with it
with my old sub i had the amp wired on bridged, but im not really sure whats the difference.
any advice on that?
Ideally, you want a mono amp for subs, but what you have is a 2-channel.
You would want to bridge the 2-channel amp, which means you want a 4-ohm load, which means you want either an SVC-4-ohm or DVC-2-ohm subwoofer, which is what I listed.
The Alpine SWR-1223D subwoofer is a DVC 2-ohm's per voice coil subwoofer. When you wire the 2 voice coils in series, you will get a 4 ohm load which will work with the bridged output of the Kenwood amp.
That subwoofer works in a variety of box sizes so if the one you blew is a 12" subwoofer then you should be able to re-use the box.
thanks for the help guys, i ordered the apline swr-1223d.
so when buying a sub for a certain amp, do i wanna match up ohms and rms?
aleso when buying a sub for a certain amp, do i wanna match up ohms and rms?
Yes - if you understand the concepts.
My initial reply spelled it out, but ...
Your amp makes the most RMS (600W) with both channels bridged to a 4-ohm load.
So you want a sub that handles 600W RMS at 4-ohms.
For a single sub, that would be either an SVC-4-ohm sub or a DVC-2-ohm sub.
(This assumes the subs and amps are rated accurately, but many companies sell 600W RMS subs that only handle 150W RMS and a few companies sell 600W RMS amps that do more like 900W RMS.) Alpine and Kenwood are pretty straight-up, but be careful with some of the non-CF budget brands.
Because my name is on the business, I work hard to make sure you get the best possible shopping experience. I look forward to hearing your comments .

Transforming lives through education
Date published: 30 March 2010
Education is a subject in which almost everyone has an interest. Except for family environment, nothing affects your chances in life more than what school you attend, what kind of teachers you had, and what opportunities to learn and grow you were given.
Michael Jameson, Director of Education for Oldham Council, who is responsible for the education and well-being of 48,000 children under 16 across the borough, looks to the future.
CHILDREN starting school in Oldham next September will probably retire in 2072, yet none of us can predict what the future holds in 10 years' time.
According to UNESCO, more people will graduate over the next 30 years than all the previous years combined.
Each year in China 450,000 engineering students graduate — three times the number who graduate in the UK in all science subjects.
Our most important task is to prepare our children for this infinitely more competitive future, and the education system we've had until now won't serve us.
Oldham Council and its partners are investing £230 million over the next five years in education.
Through the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) and academies programmes every single secondary school in the borough will be rebuilt, relocated or refurbished Radcliffe and Failsworth have already been rebuilt.
These valuable buildings won't just provide opportunities and learning for young people; they'll be hubs of the local community, providing state-of-the-art facilities, and evening classes and sports activities for all ages. This investment extends to the primary sector as well as children's centres.
Investment in education on this scale is vital, because Oldham needs to be a place people choose to live.
We're working to transform a former mill town with many run-down areas into a borough with attractive green spaces, leisure attractions and first-class sports facilities, decent housing and convenient transport links.
But most importantly, to make this happen, Oldham needs fantastic schools and colleges. It's that combination that's going to make people want to live and raise their families here.
Today, Oldham, as is the case in many parts of the country, is an unequal place. The life chances of a child from a central Oldham ward such as St Mary's or Coldhurst are markedly poorer than that of a child from Saddleworth or Chadderton.
This cannot be right. We need a future in which every young person has the chance to succeed.
Oldham wants to use the BSF and academies programmes to revolutionise education, provide first-class schools, bring communities together and to transform the way education is delivered across the borough.
Transforming education is not just about new buildings, it is about changing how children are taught, making school a supportive place with excellent facilities and a curriculum that meets the needs of each child, including the most disadvantaged.
Academies at Waterhead, Hollinwood and Royton, new schools in Chadderton and Saddleworth and newly-refurbished North Chadderton, Crompton House, Bluecoat, Hathershaw, Royton and Crompton schools, will provide excellent teaching in 21st century environments, enabling our young people to experience high-quality learning that is tailored to their needs.
They will be inspiring places where young people from all backgrounds will be able to grow and learn together.
Over the next few months and years, there will be a debate about education in Oldham. Throughout it, we must see our children as the hope that they are.
Confidence and creativity aren't qualities you grow into, they're qualities we're born with but too often they're educated out of us. This needs to change.
In the future, our children will thrive in schools that will help them be all they can be. Schools that will provide them with the skills and knowledge they'll need for a future we ourselves may not see.
Standing still certainly isn't an option.
Hey Mike, just in case you hadn't notice there was a big mill in Waterhead, that should now be a green open space. Instead you are building again and wrecking an area you should stay well away from. Given the paucity of evidence that academies do actually make a difference to educational achievement, ask Stuart Paulley, why rush head long into them?
Keep Waterhead free of this plan or suffer the consequences at the ballot box.
I suggest you have a chat with the teachers at these rebuilt schools Mr Jameson and ask them how they are coping with the latest cost cutting exercise inflicted by Oldham council, you really are ill informed or in denial if you think everything is hunky dory.

Muslims and Jews in France:
This book traces the global, national, and local origins of the conflict between Muslims and Jews in France, challenging the belief that rising anti-Semitism in France is rooted solely in the unfolding crisis in Israel and Palestine. Maud Mandel shows how the conflict in fact emerged from processes internal to French society itself even as it was shaped by affairs elsewhere, particularly in North Africa during the era of decolonization.
Mandel examines moments in which conflicts between Muslims and Jews became a matter of concern to French police, the media, and an array of self-appointed spokesmen from both communities: Israel's War of Independence in 1948, France's decolonization of North Africa, the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, the 1968 student riots, and François Mitterrand's experiments with multiculturalism in the 1980s. She takes an in-depth, on-the-ground look at interethnic relations in Marseille, which is home to the country's largest Muslim and Jewish populations outside of Paris. She reveals how Muslims and Jews in France have related to each other in diverse ways throughout this history--as former residents of French North Africa, as immigrants competing for limited resources, as employers and employees, as victims of racist aggression, as religious minorities in a secularizing state, and as French citizens.
In Muslims and Jews in France, Mandel traces the way these multiple, complex interactions have been overshadowed and obscured by a reductionist narrative of Muslim-Jewish polarization.
Maud Mandel is professor of history and Judaic studies and dean of the College at Brown University. She is the author of In the Aftermath of Genocide: Armenians and Jews in Twentieth-Century France.
"Mandel offers new perspectives on the factors at play in deteriorating Jewish-Muslim interactions. She challenges theories that concentrate on the Middle East and argues that they obscure dynamics in France that have more directly influenced the situation. This concise account, which highlights instances of interethnic cooperation, is chronologically organized and underscores how the legacy of French colonialism created separate paths for the thousands of North African Muslims and Jews that settled in France because of decolonization."--Choice
"I found this an enjoyable and illuminating read. . . . [I]t is a worthwhile book which illuminates one of the pressing problems of our time."--Ruth Barbour, Open History
"Muslims and Jews in France is a remarkably concise and clear analysis of the complex relationship and mutual constitution of the two communities. Mandel has a knack for making the paradoxes of her subjects accessible, making this book necessary reading for anyone interested in contemporary French history and politics, Jewish history and Muslim-Jewish relations: instead of just lamenting the news, it allows us to think through it critically."--Arthur Asseraf, French History
"Muslims and Jews in France is a most in-depth, sophisticated piece of work that warrants a lot of attention and needs to be read; particularly in light of an on-going conflict where there appears to be no end in sight."--David Marx, David Marx: Book Reviews
"For those who prefer thoughtful historical analysis to slogans, Mandel's book is one place to turn. What one finds is that post-war Jewish life in Europe in general, and France in particular, belies the tidy narrative still being constructed."--Simon J. Rabinovitchm, Haaretz
"[A] masterful analysis."--Jean-Philippe Dedieu, Sociology

One "edited" lap through our local park. Enjoy!
One "edited" lap through our local park. Enjoy!
So yes, the season has started! But…. with rain, wind, and even hail. We decided to ride anyway and took a trip to Terhills Cablepark in Belgium. A massive thanks goes out to the crew for giving us some private sessions! Cheers!
One of my favorite riding buddys has been injured most of the season. Finally he is back on his board! Just in time for some autumn riding. Check out our shaky footage and some not so perfect tricks. Thanks to 0172 Wake Park for having us!
What a sick event was this! Lot's of riding, great features, good crew and good party's! Definitely coming back next year!
Ivar brought the new GoPro HERO4! Just a few shots to give you an impression about the high quality shots in bad weather conditions.
This summer I went on a RV trip to some really nice wake parks in Belgium and France. Lucky enough I was able to catch up with some old friends and good rippers to ride and chill together. This video is a recap of the riding that went down.
Although I'm not that much into competing anymore I still like to ride a contest every now and then. Check out this recap of the "Down Under Open" by RTVLD Visuals.
Shitty weather won't stop us from having fun! Here's the recap of a nice day at "Lakeside Paradise" in Knokke, Belgium.
Have a look at this video of Dirk Gideonse and myself shredding on the Big Air of Red Bull Rising High. What a sick event was this! A big shout out goes out to Unit Parktech for the invite and of course to Protest for " Getting me there!"
Down Under has a couple of new features in it's main cable. A good reason to ask Tommy Swaan and Antoni van der Wekken to show me 5 tricks: High Five!

While Facebook marketing is very much the buzz out there in the online world, you as a local business owner may be asking – well of what possible relevance is that to me? Good question!
The reality is that the world of social media has caught up with small businesses, most of whom do the bulk of their business in their local geographic area. Facebook is fast becoming the Number 1 online marketing site, as it ramps up to thoroughly trounce Google.
Now, you may reason that having access to over 1 billion Facebook users, is of little relevance or use to your little bricks and mortar business. Point taken! But imagine if by using some of the powerful tools and platforms which Facebook makes available, you could gain access to several hundred or even several thousand users living in your town or city .. and at very little or even no cost, to your business! Would that not prick your interest?
You know .. despite the fact that sites like Facebook and Twitter are now permanently enmeshed in the lives of so many people (with each new member on Facebook now spending an average of 55 minutes every day on the site), a huge number of small business owners are simply not taking advantage of the potential that these mega sites are offering. I suspect that this boils down to their believing that there is no measurable return on investment (ROI), whether of time or money. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Around 71% of small businesses don't use social media in any way whatsoever so as to promote themselves and my personal observations have shown that most who do use the likes of Facebook for instance, have little knowledge of this viral giant, and are nowhere near using it to best effect.
I came to the decision some time ago that I owed it to local business owners in my community to inform them of the most powerful marketing tool imaginable they now have at their fingertips; without parallel when it comes to getting their message, product or service out to more people in less time, with less effort and far less cost.
Times are certainly changing and the old school marketing approach simply won't cut it with today's discerning audience. The web has now become social and in a nutshell that means that not only are customers able to make choices; they can now connect with friends from all over the globe, see what they are recommending and buy and act on those recommendations. It's a known fact that we are 35% more likely to buy something on the recommendation of a friend than by just acting independently.
Imagine just reaching a miniscule fraction of those 1 billion+ Facebook users and providing them with something so uber cool, that they could not help but 'like' us ! Like .. REALLY 'like' us. And all they needed to do was click a button! Imagine then, these good folk going one step further and allowing those same friends who view their pages, to go "like" our page as well.
A recent study by Synapse on a number of well known brands showed that on average, Facebook fans (those same good folk who have given the thumbs up to business pages that they like) spend $71.84 a year more on brands they are fans of, than those customers who are not fans. Furthermore they are 28% more likely than non fans to continue using that brand.
Plain and simple .. if you are ignoring Facebook .. then you do so at your peril! Chances are if your competitors are not already up there, then they very shortly will be.
I specialize in teaching local businesses 'secret' techniques for driving vast amounts of free traffic back to their website (and for that matter 'through the front door') by leveraging their Facebook business page to full effect. I say 'secret' because most of what I am able to teach you is just not being taught elsewhere.
If you'd like to find out more about how I can assist your business have a meaningful presence on Facebook, then feel free to fill out the form here .Your first 30 minute consultation will be absolutely free, so you have nothing to lose by taking that first step now. Oh! And by the way .. I work with local businesses world-wide, not just here in Auckland.
This may be the most important business decision you take this year .. seriously! So, I encourage you to take action, now. Let's go create some buzz!

He's the hottest, cutest guy alive! He's dirty-blond with big brown eyes. Girls drool over him. He's extremely loyal and sometimes very innocent. He has problems, but he doesn't want to bring them up because he thinks that they're awkward. He relies on his friends and his connections and loves to be in teh center of attention. He's funny and sometimes gross and is smart and I love the way he laughs. He doesn't care if you do embarrassing things, he still likes you for you. He's not exactly good at romance, but it's easy to tell that he loves his girl. He blushes a lot and he's the ultimate jock, but you can find him reading or singing sometimes. And that just mskes him all teh much sweeter.

He is a quiet out-going man who not everyone gets along with - even though he is one of the most loving and caring people ever! Claytons normally have dirty-blonde hair with sky eyes. The people that are lucky enough to ever meet one will cherish Clayton forever, with his bright smile and amazing laugh! The perfect girl is out there but may be closer to him than he thinks. The woman he will marry will have a name starting with a D because of Clayton's alphabetical mind that he uses to creat many things. Claytons are usally smart in many areas but do not take credit for much of their works, because of their humble nature.

Firefighter, funniest guy you'll ever meet, wears boots everyday, awesome, senior,and someone you fell in love with in a hopeless place. Sweetest guy you'll ever meet.

Seeing him happy will make you the happiest person on earth. he means the world to you and the last thing you'd ever do is hurt him. You'd be there for him through anything. when you're with him it feels like all the worries, pain, and the world disappears. he cares about you more than you will ever know, he'll always have that special place in your heart and you'll always be in is. you dream everyday about what your future could be like with him. Hes the type of guy who wouldn't want to change a thing about his girl just her last name. spending your life with Clayton would be a blessing... he'd care for you and your kids doing whatever it takes. everyday you'd wake up with with him by your side knowing you're the luckiest girl. you'd have a son named Clayton who would run around in his daddy's boots knowing that he has a great father to look up too. . cause you know i love you, I've loved you all along, i miss you, far away for far too long. i keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never know. Stop breathing if i don't see you anymore. all i want to hear you say is " I love you...I loved you all along" i'd do anything for you, for us, whatever it took. I love you.

I bought this amp for my jeep. Paired with OEM head unit, pair of JBL GTO 638 in sound bar, JBL GTO 608C components in the front & Sound Ordnance B-8PTD Powered 8" Subwoofer. System has incredible sound. Since I usually drive this Jeep on short trips & recently went on a 5 hour road trip when the amp went in to safe mode 30 minutes into the trip. Thinking that it was just overheated, I turned it off for about 30 minutes & tried it again. Well that got me about 45 seconds of music. 4.5 hours of no radio in a new jeep, with a new system. I have since checked out the install, with no issues. Called JBL and now have to send it back, on my dime, & wait until they send me a new one. I like the amp, when it works. Hopefully my new amp will arrive before winter. I called Crutchfield Tech Support and the tech was very professional and suggested a warranty replacement. The install was pretty straight forward. The speaker wire to RCA connectors are poorly designed like other reviews have noted. It helps if you can solder the speaker wire prior to using the adapters. Using the line out for the powered sub, I did have trouble with loosing the sub when fading from front to rear, (no bass) when all on front or all on rear. Tech could not figure that one out & I chalked it up as OEM head unit issues. As soon as my year of satellite radio is up, I'm getting a new head unit.
Pros: High/low input capable, great sound, low profile, cross over gain adjustments with CD, ability to turn off peak LEDs.
Cons: Safe Mode! Over sensitive. Heats up fast, and then shuts off.

Stanley, Falkland Islands | Voters decided by an overwhelming 99.8 per cent margin on Monday to keep their governmentjust the way it is: a British Overseas Territory. Of the 1517 valid votes cast, only three islanders voted "no" to the question: "Do you wish the Falkland Islands to retain their current political status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom?" One vote was somehow lost.
Election officials reported a 92 per cent turnout among about 1650 Falkland Islands voters eligible to cast ballots in the referendum, which was aimed at showing that their selfdetermination must be considered in any discussion about the future of the remote South Atlantic islands, that are claimed by both Britain and Argentina.The islands' 2563 residents did all they could ahead of the vote to show their sympathies, waving Union Jack flags and dressing up in red, white and blue.
"The referendum will show the world how we feel, that we are British and that we wish to remain British," islander Barry Nielson said as he voted. "We don't want to have nothing to do with Argentina, at all."
International election observer Juan Henao said the process was completely normal.
The ballot did not consider any alternatives, such as full independence or some sort of political relationship with Argentina. The Falkland Islands government had said that if a majority said "no", they could explore alternatives in a second vote later.
The government barred from voting any visiting contractors or personnel from the sizeable British military deployment, as well as anyone who had not lived in the islands for the last 12 months, thus excluding several people with islander status who have chosen to live in Argentina. Argentinians consider the islands , which they call the Islas Malvinas, to be part of their national territory, taken from them by the British more than 180 years ago. One group in Buenos Aires said on Monday that it had gathered 100,000 signatures supporting Argentina's claim to the territory and the resource-rich seas that surround the archipelago.
The island community, which includes families that have worked the land for nine generations, is steeped in British culture, and British Prime Minister
But islanders have worried that British support is not guaranteed. They well remember that Britain was preparing to hand over the islands to Argentina before the military government in Buenos Aires occupied them in 1982, prompting a war that killed 907 people.
Defending them ever since by staffing a large military garrison 13,000 kilometres from London has been a costly sore point for Britons facing austerity measures. A Daily Mirror columnist complained about this on Monday, saying that "the result's not in doubt when the Islanders are voting for 'free money'."

Director Michel Franco's first feature, Daniel y Ana (2010) is a powerfully 'silent' movie about brother and sister, Daniel (Dario Yazbek Bernal) and Ana (Marimar Vega).
Set in a rich neighbourhood in Mexico, we are introduced to the perfect lives of two people who are suddenly jolted into the harsh realities of street life – they are kidnapped, then forced to have sex with each other on camera, in order to save their lives.
After having chosen to live, they manage to get back home and thus to carry on with their lives. Happily?
Well, from this point on we see a silent, yet destructive drama develop. Eventually, Ana seems to get over the shock, decides to see a shrink and to continue planning her marriage – without saying a word of what went on between her and her brother.
On the other hand, Daniel turns in a monster. Refusing to see a psychologist and incapable of following his classes, he is drowning in a return to his base instincts and rapes Ana at home.
Bernal deserves an Oscar, no question – the movie is singularly
shocking, with the silence of Daniel's transformation almost deafening, and it raises many questions about the fragility of human existence. Worth seeing!
90 mins. In Spanish.

Comments about oreilly Designing Moodle Themes:
This is a great video series on how to apply and configure custom theme plugins for Moodle. Susan gives examples and recommendations to use particular theme plugins for instructor led, social-networking, and other scenarios. Unfortunately, I am looking for a series that helps you to develop themes under the hood using PHP, CSS and HTML5. Alas, the Moodle Development Themes (http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Themes) seem to be the best place to start.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thatcher stands firm against full EMS role
Mrs Margaret Thatcher remains firmly opposed to full British membership of the European Monetary System. Being linked to the D-Mark would be too deflationary and would constrain the UK economy, she believes.
During a wide-ranging interview with the Financial Times, she also denied that there was any exchange rate target for sterling, or that the pound was tied unofficially to a rate of just under or about DM3.
Her remarks on exchange rate policy show a markedly different emphasis from the views of the Treasury and the Foreign Office. Both departments believe sterling should be in the exchange rate mechanism of the EMS.
In the course of a 75-minute interview in the White Drawing Room in Downing Street, Mrs Thatcher also said:
Britain would insist at the EC heads of government summit in Copenhagen next week on an unbreakable guarantee that agricultural surpluses be reduced. As an alternative to a gradual reduction through stabilisers—a means of cutting production ceilings—she is proposing a new "clean slate" approach, whereby member states would write existing surpluses off their national budgets.
Further UK tax reform is planned. "You can take it that Nigel (Lawson) is by nature a tax-reforming chancellor and that he will have another go in the coming term. There is still quite a bit of tax reform to be done." She hinted at action to reduce the higher rates of personal tax which could not be allowed to get "too much out of kilter with those of rival countries."
Any change in mortgage tax relief was "pretty well out," she said. "You may take it that the present structure goes on."
Reducing the inflation rate from the present 3–5 per cent annual range remained the Government's positive intention."
Britain remained a "global power," for example, helping the US in Central America by keeping troops in Belize.
The UK opposed any fundamental change in Western defence policy; no further nuclear weaponry should be taken out of Europe after an intermediate nuclear deal.
She would like to remain Prime Minister at least until the next election in 1992–93. "The moment we have got passed one milestone, you see them stretching out before you, and each one gets more exciting."
Mrs Thatcher indicated during the interview that she remained as strongly opposed as ever to full EMS membership. She said everyone in Europe was geared to the D-Mark except the UK.
"The D-Mark at the moment is slightly deflationary. That means the whole of Europe is geared to a slightly deflationary policy. Now we have not been so geared and we have had a greater degree of freedom in relation to both the dollar and the D-Mark, and I am grateful for that."
She stressed the advantages of this freedom and her natural caution, in view of the difference between the UK economy and the rest of the EC, against going back within strict limits. She said Britain had profited from this approach by having a higher growth rate than if sterling had been in the EMS.
Mrs Thatcher also denied that the pound was tied to any specific range with the D-Mark. She said Britain was free to choose whether or not it supported the rate.
She drew a distinction between being in a system geared to lines which were publicly known and could be tested, and being outside and choosing voluntarily to run the exchange rate for a period near to one particular level, though not being constrained and having complete freedom to change.
On the EC, Mrs Thatcher was firm that there had to be enforceable stabilisers. Unless there was binding action to[fo 1] reduce farm surpluses there would be no progress and no increase in the community's financial resources Spending would then be decided on a monthly basis as negotiations continued until the next EC summit.
As an alternative, Mrs Thatcher unveiled the idea of the "clean slate" approach whereby member states would decide now to write off their existing surpluses. This would be via national budgets rather than through the Common Agricultural Policy She described this as a "possiblity" which would have the attractions of dealing with surpluses and stopping them piling up again.
Mrs Thatcher laid considerable emphasis on 1992 as the year for Europe, the target date for completion of the internal market, for the removal of farm surpluses, and, coincidentally, as the date for the completion of the Channel Tunnel project. Front page box:
The spirit of 2000
Mrs Thatcher is considering how the year 2000 should be marked, possibly via "some special attainment" for those "who would have the privilege of living through that psychological time," writes Peter Riddell She said the year was "a natural target. You have got to use it somehow to raise peoples' efforts and spirits—not that their spirits need raising—but raise their sights to what is attainable."
She said it should be something that "involves everyone, every kind of small town and village. Some will take it as building, some as institutions, some as just raising the environment together, not only cleanliness and everything like that but a kind of beautification." She drew a comparison with replanting trees after last month's hurricane.
Mrs Thatcher said people had to start to prepare for it, "because Heaven knows one might be twanging a harp by that time." End of front page box.[fo 2] Main interview (p 19)
Thinking about the year 2000
Mrs Margaret Thatcher has more or less mapped out her plans for the course of British politics until the years 1992–93, so far as events are under her control. She has begun to think about what to do after that and is already looking for suitable ways for Britain to mark the second millennium.
The Prime Minister appears more strongly opposed than ever to attaching sterling to the exchange rate mechanism of the European Monetary System and in economic policy is seeking the maximum freedom of action.
She is opposed to any fundamental changes in western defence policy after the likely superpower agreements on the reduction of nuclear weapons and believes that Britain is still a global power.
At the meeting of the European Council in Copenhagen next week she will seek an unbreakable guarantee that farm surpluses will be reduced and that spending on the common agricultural policy will be cut back. She is also canvassing a new proposal which, if adopted, would enable existing farm surpluses to be written off over-night by national governments and the common agricultural policy to start afresh with a clean slate.
Those were some of the main points to emerge from an interview with the Financial Times, on Friday.
Mrs Thatcher denied categorically and repeatedly that there was any exchange rate target for the pound, whether against the D-Mark or any other currency or basket of currencies.
"At the moment," she said, "everyone is geared to the D-Mark, save us. The DM at the moment is slightly deflationary. That means that the whole of Europe is geared to a slightly deflationary policy Now, we have not been so geared and we have had a greater degree of freedom in relation to both the dollar and the D-Mark and I just think that I am grateful for that."
She rejected completely the notion that the pound was tied, at least unofficially, to a rate of just under or around DM3. "There is no specific range," she said. "We are always free"
Present British exchange rate policy, she argued, was quite different from "actually getting yourself onto graph paper and saying 'I live within these few boxes', and then letting people test you as you come up to a top ... We are not confined to any particular limits and I do not like us to be, because to do that is to tempt people to have a go and you cannot beat a speculator except over a short period."
The Prime Minister was reminded that in an interview published in the Financial Times on November 19 last year she had said that a principal reason why Britain could not become a full member of the EMS was that the domestic economy was still too weak and might have to come out again under speculative pressure.
She replied that the economy today was certainly strong, but added that, from her experience of recent times, she thought: "We have been freer and perhaps been able to be more helpful than we could have been, had we been on the exchange rate mechanism."
It was one thing to run your exchange rate "near to something, near to one particular band, for a period if it suits you—everyone knows that you are not constrained by that band and you can come off it today or tomorrow if you wish."
Mrs Thatcher was also sceptical about the possibility of a more managed international exchange rate system working because, she said, no such system "can be a substitute for sound running of economies." It would work "only when you are all running your economies in a similar sound way" "Sound" was a word she used repeatedly throughout the economic section of the interview.
As in her speech to the Lord Mayor's banquet in London last Monday, she again called for stimulative action from West Germany and Japan. "No-one is entitled to have a balance of payments surplus entrenched in the way in which they run both their economy and also their society or if you like to put it—their culture, because if that were to be so, then when the US deficit goes down, it means that the rest of us would have to carry a bigger proportion of the can than we should."
On defence policy the Prime Minister reaffirmed her view that, after a superpower agreement on the elimination of intermediate nuclear forces and a possible agreement on the reduction of intercontinental ballistic[fo 3] missiles, "There must be no further nuclear weaponry taken out of Europe before we get the Soviet Union much further nearer to us on conventional weapons and before we see whether we can in fact get a verification system and the Soviets agreeing to eradicate their chemical weapons because we have eradicated ours."
Mrs Thatcher dismissed completely any suggestion of an American military withdrawal from Europe. "The frontier across Germany," she said, "is the frontier of freedom for the US as well as for Europe."
She also argued that British defence policy was fully supportive of the US around the world, and not just in the Nato area. "We had the best minesweepers and they are busy sweeping mines in the Iranian Gulf ... We have troops on Belize, Cyprus, Sinai over to Hong Kong, in Africa, in the Gulf, indeed we have troops in one form or another—some as military advisers and trainers—in 30 countries in the world and of course in the Falklands, and that means that we are still a global power and we do our bit."
The presence of the troops in Belize, she went on, demonstrated to the US how Britain understands what Americans feel "about some of the threats from Central America ... It keeps a stable democracy there right on the Central American front."
Asked whether there was still a special relationship between Britain and the US, the Prime Minister replied: "Very much so."
She gave some credit to France for also taking part in defence activities outside the Nato area. Then she added: "The best possible thing of course—which I cannot see happening—would be for France to rejoin Nato, militarily integrated."
In a reference to recent moves towards closer defence co-operation between France and West Germany, she said: "What I think that we have to watch is that there do not grow up sub-structures in Europe which could have unwittingly, unintentionally, the effect of undermining the links across the Atlantic Alliance ... I think it is important that those (Franco-German) arrangements do not take on wholly a bigger life of their own."
Mrs Thatcher's comments on what she clearly regards as an undisciplined approach to expenditure by the British Ministry of Defence were expressed largely in mime: a sharp indrawing of the cheeks and an extended outdrawing of breath. She said quietly: "There was something called Awacs and Nimrod."
There was a warning for the future. "As I am constantly saying to our defence people, just make certain that you do not waste anything, and you will just about get the same amount out as you have been getting in the past."
On the European Community and the key meeting of the heads of government in Copenhagen next week, the Prime Minister argued that from her point of view agriculture, coupled with Community financing, were "just about the long and the short and the tall of it."
The basic point is that the Community is now up against the limit of its permitted expenditure and that Mrs Thatcher will not agree to an increase until existing policies are radically reformed, especially on agriculture. The British Government is seeking firm and binding regulations that are automatically applied to reduce surpluses. "Unless we get that," Mrs Thatcher insisted, "there will be no progress."
If there were no progress, she went on, there would be no increase in the Community's financial resources. Spending would have to be determined on a monthly basis while the negotiations were continued until the next European Council.
There are two possible approaches that the Prime Minister says that she can support. One, being canvassed by the European Commission, is to apply a system of "stabilisers" to all agricultural products Stabilisers mean setting production ceilings and progressively reducing the subsidy if the ceilings are exceeded. If adopted in an enforceable way, they could result in the surpluses being reduced to an agreed strategic level by 1992, a year that Mrs. Thatcher regards as "exciting" for a number of reasons.
However, she has an alternative and more radical proposal that she is understood to have put to Mr Jacques Chirac, the French Prime Minister, yester[fo 4]day. It is what she calls the "clean slate" approach on surpluses. It amounts to the member states agreeing now to write off their existing surpluses now, and to do so through their national budgets rather than through the common agricultural policy.
She said: "Each of you agrees on your national budget to take and accept the responsibility of a clean slate Each of you writes down what we have got and takes responsibility for disposing of it without the writing down or costs of the disposal coming on to the CAP."
Such an approach, she argued, would be "much fairer to countries like Spain and Portugal because, after all, the surpluses are not their fault." She herself would be prepared to write down the "quite considerable" British surpluses But she wondered how many other countries would be ready to accept such a speedy solution that bypasses the traditional workings of the common agricultural policy.
On domestic policy the Prime Minister showed some anxiety about inflation She found it "worrying" that over the last four years "it seems to have fluctuated between about 3 and 5 per cent" The aim was still to get it down further and the Government had used higher interest rates in August as a sign of its intent.
She also claimed that inflation was unlikely to go on being fuelled indefinitely by such factors as higher house prices in the south east. The process, she said, should be "self-correcting" "There is a great incentive to companies now to move further north because salary-for-salary their people will have a much higher standard of living ... It may take three, four, five or six years ... the Birmingham area is not very far away; they might go further still."
Mrs Thatcher was adamant that there would be no abolition of mortgage tax relief. "I think you may take it," she said, "that it is pretty well out."
The reasons why she regards the years 1992–93 as potentially so exciting are manifold. The internal market of the European Community is due for completion by 1992, as well as the overhaul of the CAP even by the slower route. "It is just very fortunate that the next year you should get the Channel Tunnel open and, really, as far as we are concerned, (Europe) should become a much greater reality."
There may also have been developments at home. In previous interviews with the Financial Times, Mrs Thatcher has given her views on the state of domestic politics and the opposition parties. This time there was a lengthy pause before she said: "Do you know, I have not really given that very much attention because I am so much more concerned to carry on with our own policies, to get those well ahead ... and then to start on the next Parliament."
She thought that British opinion might have turned subconsciously against coalitions because of what it saw on the continent.
Being coalition-free, she claimed, "gives us a freedom of decision, decisiveness, leadership, that others are not free to exercise."
She went on: "We have got really enough to do within four years now and quite a lot that comes on next, and then, almost every western country is going to think of trying to get some special attainment going by the year 2,000 ... you have got to make it some kind of target. It is a natural target."
Asked what the attainment would be, she said: "I do not know. That is what all of us are trying to think of now. It will be something that involves everyone, every kind of small town and village."
To the question whether she would still be Prime Minister in 1993, she replied: "Well, one would like to be, but it does not wholly depend on me. At the moment we have got past one milestone you know, you see them stretching out before you, and each one gets more exciting."
Mrs Thatcher ended in full flood with a long statement of her belief in restoring the values of the Victorian age. The prosperity of the south was moving north to Manchester, Nottingham, Bradford.
There had been a civic pride in the past that had led the city fathers to say that prosperity and beautiful town halls were not enough. They had gone on to set up libraries, orchestras and art galleries. They were "almost city states a complete ideal." That was what she wanted to happen again.

The Clearwater Cabin, one of the latest additions to the Whitetail community, was built for the homebuyer who always has entertaining in mind. Blending rustic charm with modern appeal, the versatile floor plan houses three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. At 3,113 square feet, the home boasts a covered deck and front porch along with a three car garage and additional bay for a golf cart or recreational "toys." If that isn't enough space, there's an extra room over the garage perfect for a game room, extra bedroom or storage. Just a five minute walk away, Clearwater's central location gives buyers easy access to all of Whitetail's amenities including the Fish & Swim Club and indoor tennis and fitness center.
Much like the Clearwater Cabin, smaller homes have surfaced at the forefront of real estate. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the average size of new homes has been dropping in recent years and average home size will be 10 percent smaller in 2015 compared to 2010. Smaller homes are picking up popularity because home improvement project and furnishings cost less on a smaller scale. Also, home buyers are looking to save time with less housecleaning and maintenance. Homebuyers can also get more bang for their buck with high-quality upgrades that cost less for less space. Also, when the time comes to sell, energy-efficient smaller homes will be in high demand because of rising energy costs. At just over 3,000 square feet, the Clearwater Cabin beautifully fits this trend.
The open-air floor plan houses a combined living, dining and kitchen area. The living room has 16-foot vaulted ceiling with a stone fireplace, large windows and a sliding glass door to bring the outdoors in.
The master bedroom has a fireplace, walk in closet and is decorated with designer finishes and fixtures.
The master bathroom has both his and her vanities, a soaking tub and separate shower.
The second and third bedrooms have their own private bathrooms and large walk in closets.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Well, of course, things with pink on do keep you that much warmer, don't they?
I find cheap, thin, fleece gloves do the job for me. I always end up taking them off and stuffing them down my tights after a couple of miles anyway.
I never wear a hat, as they make me too hot, but I do use an ear-warmer, and/or a buff.
You can get buffs in all sorts of colours and patterns, and they're very versatile.
I think I have the pink & black Ronhill ones you're talking about. Never worn the hat but the gloves are good. They keep my hands warm enough but I'm in the south so probably haven't experienced temperatures as cold as you! Seem comfortable enough and are light enough to carry if not wearing them
If you're daughter uses an ipod, then they are thin enough to still control it whether it be touch screen or click wheel. Well it's a bonus for me anyway!
I bought my friend some of the ladies Ron Hill pink gloves... my goodness, they were PINK...!!
Talking Teddy Boy Socks bright...
I have some of these - Love them. I get very cold hands, but when they warm up, they get itchy if they're too hot. These are perfect and are very light too. You can get them for £5-6 if you hunt around on Ebay.
Hats - I have a fleecy headband from Aldi which I wear most of the time when it's cold, or a yellow fleecy hat which I got for completing a half marathon.
Not very coordinated, but it suits me fine

It makes sense for Samsung to be more aggressive than ever with its advertisements, as that time of the year when the media and consumer space are preoccupied with Apple's latest product approaches. Besides, every major technological vendor is looking to boost the hype around its products ahead of the annual IFA event in Berlin.
Competition will be strong this year, and Samsung is gearing up to defend its market territory with a successor to the Galaxy Note 3, a new Gear smart-watch, and (quite possibly) its first virtual reality headset. The best is yet to come!
So, if someone on the street asked you to compare the Galaxy Tab S and the iPad Air, what would you say?
