More comeuppance for buy-to-letters
Although I have no sympathy for those who have sought to fund their pensions through other people's desperation for somewhere to live (Buy-to-let investors who fear they may be homeless, March 22) I hope that their class action for compensation includes the many TV programmes that urge people to get on this bandwagon and have helped to inflate house prices. But I do object to paying for their state benefits. If they owe so much money because of their greed, then their benefits should be dependent upon their working now. They cannot plead ignorance for their plight. They had only to look back at Rachman and his exploitation to see how immoral this buy-to-let mania actually was. How true is the old quotation: "All property is theft".
Sylvia Parsons, Nottingham
I read with growing disbelief how buy-to-let investor Chris Miller got himself into financial trouble. He states that as a director of the company "even he" could not see the game being played. Sorry Mr Miller, but the rest of us could. You must have been living in solicitor's play-money land for far too long. You know a solicitor's bill for £450 for a few hours' work? Well here is the news: most of us are lucky to earn that in a week.
Reading the vacancies section of any newspaper reveals that the average wage is around £25,000 a year, many people earn considerably less. Stoppages for tax, pension etc. on £25,000 will leave approximately £1,400 per month. Why would anyone want to pay nearly £900 of this for a poky little one-bed flat in Manchester or Middlesbrough when you can buy a refurbished two-bed terrace for considerably less and enjoy twice the space?
I have watched in annoyance as the area in which I live has been gradually uglified by buy-to-let flat-building, most of which stands empty, bristling with for sale or to let signs. Nor do I have sympathy for people who have invested in a second property as a form of pension and who seem to want to break even immediately and reap generous profits after a couple of years, rather than wait for profits coming in at the same time as their retirement, which is the point of the exercise.
It seems to me that those who have trampled others in the greedy rush for more and more are getting a well-deserved trampling themselves.
Carol Lee, Stockton-on-Tees
Thank you, Money section. As ever, your recent articles on buy-to-let landlords losing their shirts are not just full of insight, but they cleverly imply the best route forward for small investors in these troubling times. Personally, I will be pumping all of my spare cash into nanotech companies. Their skills will be in great demand for tiny violins.

My heart goes out to the family who may lose their home to Northern Rock. But the buy-to-let guy who bought properties unseen, because he'd gone on a course (the fact the first workshop was "free" rang no alarm bells?) brings to mind the day the vending machine door popped open at university. Thirty crazed students, including me, fell on the machine and on each other. Word raced round; those who missed out seethed. I'd grabbed, appropriately, a Boost bar but minutes later it wasn't just the chocolate that made me feel sick. I can't help feeling sorry for the guy. But as for greed - it leaves a really nasty taste.

The value of living within your means
I have no sympathy for the Le Roux couple (The families who bear the brunt, March 22). They borrowed circa 111% of the value of the house. Their actions have helped push up the cost of housing in this country to unaffordable levels for many. This pair has acquired multispeaker computer systems and wall-mounted flat screen televisions judging by your photograph
My financial advice to them: sell the house and pay the proceeds over to the mortgage company. Rent a house like so many others are now forced to do, and start paying off the balance of your debts. Please do not ask for sympathy from the rest of us nor seek taxpayers' money to bail you out.
Peter Birbeck, Bournemouth
Your article on the Le Roux family leaves unanswered a number of key questions regarding the cause of their sad situation. Not the least of these is why, aside from the £15,000 secured loan, they needed to borrow £169,630 in order to buy a house for £151,000. The "negative" equity appears to be caused by their other borrowing and not related to the house purchase.
For many people the interest rate offered by Northern Rock for the unsecured loan does not seem historically as high as it currently appears - 25 years ago the interest we were paying on a normal secured mortgage rose to 15%. We had moved out of tied accommodation when I changed jobs a few years earlier, so were relatively new house purchasers.
That year we had to pay out more than 30% of our net income on the mortgage. We had two teenage children. Unlike many today we resolved not to borrow to meet our expenditure but lived within our means.
Bob George, Dudley
Once again you present the case of people with financial problems as if they are "victims" of the banks and the "credit crunch", without any real consideration of how their plight developed.
You report that the Le Roux family have £40,000 of unsecured personal loans; surely this is their real problem, not a Northern Rock mortgage. Guardian Money seems to report so many cases of people having financial problems caused by (in my opinion) excessive debt. Surely people should take responsibility for their financial actions and only spend money they have, rather than spend money they have borrowed. People have to live within their means; why people seem to think they can borrow money and then moan when it has to be repaid is beyond me.
Name and address supplied
Interesting article on the problems faced by the Le Roux family and no doubt there are many others. Life is going to get tough for many.
There is a £30,000 personal loan and a £15,000 unsecured loan. Does this family have cars, pets, holidays? They do have a plasma screen. I ask this not as a swipe at the family, since there has been a widespread spend, spend, spend attitude in the UK, but as material things cannot come without the wherewithal to pay for them. I can only wish them well. This comes at a time when energy bills are rising steeply and everything else is on the increase. In fact, if people had not been spending, Gordon Brown's tax revenues would have suffered and he would have been in trouble.
Regrettably many people spend money on expensive and inappropriate insurances - unnecessary loans insurance, extended warranties, critical life etc. Many of these are sold using improper tactics as reported by the Guardian Money pages. I was approached in a shopping mall recently and let the salesperson do her pitch. I asked why they did not question me. I am self-employed, semi-retired and would not have met the conditions, but these were not mentioned by the salesperson. I left her in no doubt that such policies are expensive and mis-sold. I have never had any of these.
Have they looked at a different home contents insurer? Direct Line wanted £406 from me this month and I looked elsewhere and got better cover for £295. Then Direct Line said they would match it! Too late - they have abused my loyalty and I have sacked them - they do not deserve my business as they have exploited me in the past, although I suppose this is capitalism. Using the recent changes to BT's Option 1, I now use my landline only for weekend (free) calls or 0845 and 0870 calls and my mobile plan for everything else. This is saving me more than £10 a month.
I fear the answer for UK consumers will cause a recession! Packed lunch for work. Cut down on the take-aways. Moderate spending at Christmas. Shop around for motor and home insurance etc. Use the buy-one-get-one-free offers at the supermarket, although it's not the supermarket that funds these but the hapless supplier.
Peter Salter, via email
I am all for giving greedy financial institutions a good kicking, and anyone else for that matter, who rips the public off. But some of the Le Roux family's pain is possibly self-inflicted. I would love a wall-mounted flat screen TV or to replace my 20-year-old hi-fi. I cannot because we are saving towards our expected higher mortgage repayments, when our 4.75% fixed rate ends in December.
Your article made me cross because some of the facts seemed to get in the way of a good story. I have enormous sympathy for people in genuine financial trouble, but your article was not up to the usual high Money standard.

Artists are targeted by charity scams
Re Capital Letters (It's criminal, abusing charity in this way, March 22). Eighteen months ago and again three weeks ago, I too received the same letter from Florence Naritende. I too am an artist, in my case a sculptor. I asked the owner of the foundry I use, who knows Uganda well, whether he thought it might be genuine.
He, in turn, phoned a contact in Kampala. This revealed St Paul's Nursing School does not exist and the whole thing is a deliberate fraud.
Quite a lot of sculptors are targeted with sale scams and begging letters from Nigeria and Uganda. I suspect that lists from professional bodies such as the Royal British Society of Sculptors or publications like Who is Who in Art are consulted.

Make It Up
By Seven Hours
Sounding like coffee table jazz funk, but with a rougher Tom Waits on vocals, Seven Hours are a bit of a mixed bunch. Funky guitars and flea-esque bass matched to cigarette-burned vocal chords and bouncy drums are what Seven Hours do best, and it's all here on this 5 track EP.
'So No Smokin' is a by-the-numbers funk exercise, but not an altogether unenjoyable one. Its sharp guitar sound and its steady, up-tempo drumming sound pretty good, but it's nothing super double special. Still, for a local band, it's been recorded and mixed well.
The fuzzy rock jam of 'Feel My Boot' is a bit better, with that crunchy, dirty guitar sound lathered all over. Dave Holmes' vocals are sounding rougher than ever, but for blues/ rock/ funk/ jazz or whatever the hell genre they're in, they match it perfectly.
'More Than A Friend' is a change of pace. Unfortunately, it didn't need a change of pace, so this track is a bit out of place. It sounds like the Red Hot Chili Peppers messing around when they were 15 or something. It's too jolly. The chorus is pretty cool though, but it's a B-side at best to be honest. At least they fuzz it up a bit at the end, but by then it's become far too irritating.
'Quick Highs', with its slide guitar and understated vocals is back on track. Sounding more like The White Stripes if they met up with BB King and had Jack White on valium. Yeah, it's OK, but there's something missing. You don't know what, but there seems to be a little something missing.
Last track 'Dead Man' starts like a lost demo by The Coral, with its jangly guitar and its bright and breezy drums. In fact, it carries on that way for the whole song. It's pretty good too, a good note to leave on.
Seven Hours aren't that complex, don't make eclectic records or have deep meanings in their songs. But that's what makes them kind of compelling. Although trapped in a limited genre, they somehow manage to make the sound of blues and rock a bit more refreshing than other "blues" bands around at the moment. However, after a while, the constant tricks and licks, the snarls and growls, and the smashes and crashes seem to fall a little flat. There's only so many things you can do with blues music, and Seven Hours can do them all. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I'll let you decide.

Ethylene Propylene Elastomers Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020
Ethylene propylene elastomers are the most dominant type of synthetic rubber. For the production of ethylene propylene elastomers, ethylene and propylene are reacted in presence of catalyst to produce rubber. The resultant product can possess varied properties including crystalline, amorphous or semi crystalline depending on the composition of polymer and reaction conditions. The monomers of ethylene and propylene react to form a stable compound with high thermal stability and durability with resistance to oxidation and withering. Catalysts are employed primarily to impart specific characteristics to ethylene propylene elastomers. Vulcanization is also among dominant processes empl... Click here for more details

On its face, Google's "Don't Be Evil" slogan seems like a refreshing change in the corporate world, a stance to do what is right and moral. However, recent actions by the company, including their recent decision to use its users' names and likenesses in advertisements, seem to fly in the face of their slogan. However, as Ian Bogost argues, that's because the "evil" Google refers to is not the same sort of "evil" that most people think of when they hear the word.

Our country was built on the ideals of liberty and freedom. I defend your freedom to think differently then I do. Unfortunately (as I find with most left wing nutjobs) you wouldn't defend my right to think differently than you. That aside, the further we descend into a nanny state more liberties and freedoms will be lost. If you believe the government will just give to the poor without asking for something in return you are in for a wake up call. I want less government in my life, not more. That means being a responsible citizen who is accountable for their own life. This is what we are losing, little by little, day by day. So go get your government freebies and watch your freedom erode.
#4101 Nov 7, 2012
Please explain to us all the freedom's you have lost. This should be good.
#4103 Nov 7, 2012
First off I am Libertarian. I voted for Gary Johnson. Since I work in healthcare lets talk about changes that have already been made. With states going bankrupt (like here in Illinois) your democrat leaders here passed legislation earlier this year that is squeezing medicaid. Their legislation is reducing negotiated prices for services so that doctors and hospitals receive less for services rendered. Additionally the state is slow to pay. As a result more doctors are refusing medicaid patients. So that means the ones that do accept medicaid are seeing way too many patients and its hard to get in to see them. Benefits have been reduced as well, even for senior citizens. See how your freedom of choice is affected? Fewer doctors and greater delays in seeing them. That's why you wait so long at the ER as well. Because those on medicaid use the ER as their physicians office. BTW. Would you be suggesting that business people who assume all the risk in owning and operating a business not be allowed to enjoy the benefits of being succesful? We need to remove subsidies from these corporations and even the playing field. We need tax codes that are fair, like a flat tax. But the more you receive from the government, the fewer your choices will be. That's not freedom, that's socialism.
#4105 Nov 7, 2012
What does Medicare reimbursement have to do with "your rights". Where is Medicare listed in the Bill of Rights you moron? You have no idea what your talking about. You want a flat tax and you think not getting it is an attack on your rights? You are afuckingidiot. This is proof. You got nothing. Quit spewing nonsense about your rights, you have no idea what you are talking about. Romney and the Republicans would gut Medicare and leave millions of senior citizens with nothing. If you truly are concerned about Medicare you should be glad Obama won. The Affordable Care Act will help hospitals because everybody will have insurance and hospitals will receive payment where now they are carrying all the uninsured on their books waiting for payment. Just STFU about Obama taking your rights. shitforbrains.

There's still uneducated morons out there that want a flat tax?
And they're LIEbertarians who voted for a fellow moron like Gary Johnson too?
Here's why the flat tax is NOT a good idea - and please ... feel free to jot this down so you'll never support anything that stupid again:
If you tax at say ... 20%, that means a poor person making $20K a year pays $4,000 in income tax, while a rich person that makes $2,000,000 a year pays $400,000 in income tax.
That poor person has $16,000 left, while the rich person has $1,600,000 left.
Sound fair, simpleton?
The poor person may have to give up their car, which reduces their options in terms of getting a job, in order to pay for their house or apartment.
The rich person? He or she doesn't have to sacrifice basic needs and simple modern conveniences to pay their taxes.
Still sound fair, simpleton?
Simply put: The poor person needs that 20% he's losing a lot more than the rich person does. THAT'S why a flat tax will ALWAYS disproportionately burden the poor.
Then again ... hypocritical LIEbertarians never did care about the poor or fairness now did they? Their heroes (like Wrong Paul who collects Social Security while likening it to "slavery" and Ayn Rand who collected SS and Meicare) sponged up the very things they demonized others for collecting.
Ayn Rand collected both Social Security AND Medicare benefits late in life. Why didn't Ayn Rand pay her medical expenses from the sweat of her brow and the proceeds from her labor instead of becoming a hypocritical "parasite"?
She believed Native Americans had no rights to their land - and then got her own estate taken by the Soviets!

Well guess what?
I AM .. over and over again - every chance I get!
I thought you "couldn't wait to vote"? Isn't that what you ended so many of your posts with? It doesn't look like it helped much now did it?
Romney = GONE!
And that's just the beginning. You republicans and tea party idiots got trashed all over the nation.
Only 4 of the 16 Senate candidates endorsed by the Tea Party Express won yesterday. That's 25% for mathematically-challenged repukes like yourself. That's even lower than Dubya's approval rating as he was losing office!
Here .. let's review the carnage while it's still nice and painfully fresh for you shall we?
Jessie Jr = RE-ELECTED!
Joe Walsh = GONE!
LMAO ... Isn't that wonderful? Who will TOUGH GUY Walsh shout at now that he wont have any constituents to shout down? His ex-wife? His mistress?
But wait ... it gets BETTER ... repukes have been shown the door all over the country!

Todd Akin = GONE!
Richard Mourdock = GONE!
Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson = GONE!
Scott Brown = GONE!
Oh ... and Sherrod Brown = re-elected and Alan Grayson = re-hired!
How did that policy of obstruction and zero-compromise work out for you guys again? How's that making Obama a one-term president your number 1 priority looking to you now?
I hear there's some kind of a nasty civil war going on now on the Repuke side of the fence too. Could you elaborate on that?
Tell me ... what happened to those "skewed" polls? I thought Romney was "surging"?
And I hear Dick Morris was on Hannity and he said there was a "zilch, zone, zip nada," chance of Obama getting reelected?
Did Fox news LIE TO YOU AGAIN?
Any answers for us? Any at all?
Since you guys had so much to say the past few months ... how about you "man up" and answer!
Can you tell I'm just lovin' this?

Larger, more intrusive government is not the answer folks. Obama and the current democrat leadership are creating a society where people are becoming more dependent on the government for their necessities in life. More government employees does not increase tax revenue, it creates more debt. Private sector jobs are the answer. That means some people become wealthier than others and that is just a fact of life. We need to kick the lobbyists out, end tax subsidies for all private industry, stop the bailouts of banks, financial institutions and other forms of industry. End NAFTA and CAFTA and engage in truly fair trade with other nations. That would spur economic growth and provide more jobs. But if you LOVE the nanny state, why would you want to work? Just keep living in public housing, use your medicaid for healthcare and get groceries on the state as well.

Ah, yes, the rant of the bitter, angry, old white man. Enjoy it while you can, folks! This type is dying out, thank God!!
#4116 Nov 8, 2012
1. I never once mentioned Obamas name. 2. I never mentioned Medicare. My comments were related to Medicaid. Once Obamacare is really implemented Medicaid will be the first plan affected and it already has been. States are making changes to Medicaid in preparation for Obamacare. Those changes will mean fewer benefits, fewer doctors to choose from, longer waits and long lines at ERs. 3. I never mentioned 'rights'. My point was that in accepting the government hand outs you will exchange some of your liberties and freedoms for it. As for rights though, I have rights in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Against these there is NO law. DON'T TREAD ON ME!
#4117 Nov 8, 2012
Yes, I'd rather work and earn my keep, be a productive member of society who pays taxes and expects those who can to do the same. I don't want to be a sponge/parasite who just sucks at the teat of the government. How's that for bitter, old and angry? And when my kind do die out, this country will be but a shell of what it once was.
#4118 Nov 8, 2012
So let me get this straight. You are against government "freebies" but worried about low reimbursement rates to doctors for Medicaid? You want medicaid recipients to be able to choose any doctor or treatment when I can't do that with my expensive private health insurance? You're all over the place here. You can't be against government handouts and wanting to expand Medicaid at the same time. You're one of those keep government out of my Medicare/Medicaid morons aint ya?

We have noticed that when a ticket priority is changed, there is no notification sent. I kind of figured that would be covered by the "comments made on ticket" rule for notifications. Apparently not. Is there a way to add this functionality so the assigned tech and all are notified particularly when a ticket is escalated in status?

Sky Wars: A History of Military Aerospace Power

April 2004
BeschreibungIn "Sky Wars," David Gates examines the history of military aerospace power. He examines technical developments between the First and Second World Wars, and the use of air power in subsequent wars. At the same time he explores the military and civil applications of air power in the contemporary world, some of which have led to scientific and technical advances of great benefit to humanity. He also covers the latest developments in "smart" technologies used in the war with Iraq.
David Gates is deputy director of the Centre for Defence and Inter-national Security Studies at Lancaster University, U.K. He is the author of many books, including "Warfare in the Nineteenth Century" (2001).
PortraitDavid Gates is Deputy Director of the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies at the University of Lancaster and the author of The Spanish Ulcer: A History of the Peninsular War (1986), Non-offensive Defence (1991) and Warfare in the Nineteenth Century (1998).
Pressestimmen'Sky Wars provides an ideal review of the first 100 years of military aerospace power, giving the enthusiast a fuller understanding of the philosophy behind today's major air forces.' - Aeroplane 'The author has skillfully interwoven the history with his own thoughts on the subject and comes up with fascinating theories on how events could have had different outcomes if other avenues had been explored.' - Aviation News 'In this brief centennial overview, Gates juxtaposes air power's technological sophistication with the often inappropriate political and military strategies that have governed its use. Figuring prominently are treatments of strategic bombing theory from Douhet to LeMay, the strategic failure of Hitler's V weapons, Vietnam era technocentric myopia, and observations on military technology's globalizing cultural influences. Less typical of one-volume aviation histories is the cataloging of a first-rate air arm's weaknesses and the unsupportable political expense they can incur ... Recommended.' - Choice

There have been a lot of rumors surrounding Fernando Alonso after his crash at the Formula One test-session two days ago in Barcelona. And none of that was helped any by the shroud of secrecy that seemed to have enveloped McLaren in the aftermath of the incident. But late yesterday the team issued an update on the champ's condition, addressing some of those rumors head-on.
Firstly, McLaren is "pleased to confirm that... Fernando Alonso is making a solid recovery in hospital," and that's the most important part. The statement goes on to say that "he is being kept in hospital for further observation, and to recover from the effects of the medication that successfully managed his routine sedation yesterday."
From there picks up the fight against rampant speculation. Though Working confirms that it has yet to determine the cause of the accident, it vehemently denies the rumor that Alonso passed out behind the wheel after having been shocked or inhaled toxic fumes from the hybrid powertrain's batteries. "Our data clearly shows that he was downshifting while applying full brake pressure right up to the moment of the first impact – something that clearly would not have been possible had he been unconscious at the time."
The rumors were fueled by first-hand accounts, particularly from his arch-rival Sebastian Vettel, suggesting that Alonso was slumped over before veering suddenly off-track and hitting the wall. They weren't helped any by the veil that hid Alonso from view as he was removed from the wreckage to be taken first to the trackside medical complex and then loaded onto a helicopter to be taken to the hospital. But the evidence seems to point towards the strong and shifting winds as the culprit, as other drivers reported being tossed around by sudden gusts as well.
"Our data also confirms that Fernando's car struck the inside concrete wall, first with its front-right wheel and then with its rear-right. It was a significant lateral impact, resulting in damage to the front upright and axle," McLaren described the incident. "After the initial impact, the car slid down the wall for about 15 seconds before coming to a halt. All four wheels remained attached to the car, but no damage was sustained by the bodywork or crash structure between the front and rear wheels."

This kit replaces some mechanical clocks. ***Please NOTE: The wiring of this part may be difficult and it is best to have it installed by appliance repair person.
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & KENMORE®.
The replacement was a digital clock instead of analog. The directions were a little confusing, but adequate for the change. We removed the old clock, and followed the dirctions for replacing it. We made three tries to get the wires correctly connected and on the third try, it worked fine. However, I had to return the three knobs since the digital had push buttons. It fits into the space perfectly and we are very happy with it.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
First I removed the back of the stove. Then I removed the two screws that hold the top element. I then reached into the oven and removed the element. Replaced the element and screws. I then took the timer out by removing the two screws and unpluging four wires. I replaced the timer the same way I took it out.

Checking the mail
David waits on the elevators with the a small group of business people. No one talks. Some are looking a their feet and others are pretending to be busy checking e-mail on their BlackBerries.
DING! The elevator doors open. Two men in a lively conversation exits the elevators.
MAN #1 ... but that would bring the overall deficit down to a minimum.
MAN #2 That's what I've been trying to tell them all week. Do you have any... (see a colleague) Hey Michael. Jefferson is waiting for you upstairs.
THE MAN NAMED MICHAEL Sure, thanks.
MAN #2 So, anyway, that's what I been trying to say to them all week. Do you have any figures we can use to...
The conversation between the two men slowly becomes inaudible as they move out of earshot.
David follows the other businessmen into the elevator.
The elevator doors starts to close.
KATE (O.S.) Hold it!
The hands holding the coffee almost drops them in an attempt to both keep them upright and press the "open door" button at the same time. Kate, early 30s, very beautiful, comes blasting through the half-open doors.
KATE (CONT'D) (out of breath) Thanks.
As the doors close her handbag is temporarily caught in the doors until she with a solid yank pulls it out.
She looks around the elevator.
KATE (CONT'D) Hey David... (smiles) Didn't see you there.
DAVID (O.S.) Hey Kate.
An awkward silence fills the elevator. David's hands are shifting the coffee cups around in his hands.
DAVID (O.S.) (CONT'D) So... Kate, how did it go with the Grand Mills people?
KATE I don't really know. But I think we're getting there.
DAVID (O.S.) Great... great.
The awkward silence returns. David is again shifting the coffee cups around in his hands.DING! The doors open.
Both David, Kate and a few others get out.
KATE See you later David.
Kate walks away from the elevator area.
DAVID (O.S.) Yeah, see you later.
David starts to walk in the opposite direction. Stops and turns around to say something to Kate, but she's already gone.
A elderly black lady, with a capital L, is sitting behind the reception desk taking phone calls.
MRS. JACKSON (into headset) Tristan, Blackwood & Partners, how may I help you? (beat) One moment please, I'll put you through.
Mrs. Jackson pushes some buttons and takes of the headset.
DAVID (O.S.) Black...
He places one of the coffee cups on the reception desk.
DAVID (O.S.) (CONT'D) ... no sugar.
MRS. JACKSON David.
She takes the coffee from the counter and places it on the desk next to her.
MRS. JACKSON (CONT'D) Thanks. You're a darling.
DAVID (O.S.) Don't you ever get tired of saying that every time the phone rings? You know we can record an automatic message for you.
MRS. JACKSON And what would I do then?
Both laugh. David makes a move to leave.
DAVID (O.S.) Well then, my beautiful Mrs. Jackson, I'll leave you be with the horrors of manually answering phones of (mimics Mrs. Jackson's voice) Tristan, Blackwood & Partners.
MRS. JACKSON You have a good one as well.
Mrs. Jackson gives David a large smile and waves him off as the phone rings again.
A large office area filled with cubicles after cubicles. This is a serious work environment.
David maneuvers down to one of the smaller offices next to all the cubicles and enters the open door.
Henry, early 40s, is sitting at his desk. There is barely room for the two present desks in there. Henry is dressed in bland colors from top till toe including a dark grey cardigan that have seen better days. He's reading a memo.
A hand enters the frame and place a coffee cup in front of Henry.
DAVID (O.S.) Double espresso, extra strong, extra hot. Just as the gentleman ordered.
HENRY Ah, David, my lifesaver.
Henry takes the lid of the coffee cup and vividly smells in the aroma of the espresso.
HENRY (CONT'D) Ahhhh... that's the thing.
Henry tosses the memo over to David's desk.
HENRY (CONT'D) Do you have seen this?
David sits down in his office chair and rotates into full view. We see his face for the first time. He's early 30s, hansom and looks built like a lumberjack. David picks up the memo and starts to read it.
DAVID What is this?
He takes the lid of his coffee and takes a sip, burns his tongue a bit in the process.
DAVID (CONT'D) (to himself) Aw.
Put the coffee down and takes a closer look at the memo.
DAVID (CONT'D) This is what we're been doing for months..
HENRY My point exactly. But you have to sign at the bottom and return it so they can see that you've read it. It's some legal issue that they need it on paper and signed for future audits blablabla.
DAVID Right.
David gives Henry the memo back and turns around to his computer and turns it on.
Types in his password and click a few times on the mouse. He's not really paying any attention to the computer. Instead his eyes wander down to a small picture frame that is standing next to his computer. It's the picture of a young boy holding a baseball glove. The boy is looking very proud and is smiling from ear to ear. David's hand moves towards the picture without touching it.
Without David's notice, Henry is now standing behind him and looking over his shoulder.
HENRY He's at Sarah's this week?
David snaps out of it.
DAVID Yeah. I was thinking of taking him to a ball game this weekend.
HENRY Hey, great idea. You guys wanna go alone or could me and the boys tag along. I think I owe Deb a timeout weekend.
Henry downs the entire espresso in one go.
DAVID (surprised) How do you do that?
HENRY What?
DAVID (points) The coffee.
HENRY Years of practice my young friend... Years of practice.
DAVID (shakes his head) You're insane.
HENRY Aren't we all?
Henry sits down.
HENRY (CONT'D) So. Weekend game? Alone or group?
DAVID Um, sure let's go together. That would be great.
David is back on the computer checking his em-ails.
DAVID (CONT'D) Oh, no.
HENRY What?
DAVID They moved up the meeting.
HENRY What? Right now?
DAVID No, the mail was sent yesterday afternoon, but I was left early yesterday. (beat) Damn
HENRY When is it?
David gets up.
DAVID Right now.
He grabs a legal pad from his desk and a pencil and races of.
David is running full speed down the aisle of the office cubicles. Follow office workers look out of their cubicles as he passes them. Some stand up and look over the dividers to get a better look. More than one pair of co-workers exchange worried looks.
Just as David turns the corner of the last cubicle he slams straight into the mail-boy, Washington - 18 y, and his cart. Both let out a grunt of pain.
Letters, memos and small packages comes flying in all directions and Washington is knocked over. David, for some reason, keeps standing.
David takes a small step in the direction his was running as if he's about to continue, but stops. He extends a hand to Washington and helps him up.
DAVID Oh, man I'm sorry. I'm late for a meeting and I wasn't thinking.
Washington stands up and corrects his clothes even though it's clear that his type of clothes are meant to be in a mess.
DAVID (CONT'D) Let me help you clear this up.
David bends down to pick up the letters and memos.
WASHINGTON No, it's okay. I think it's better that I do it. I have sort of a system you know
DAVID You sure?
WASHINGTON Yeah.
DAVID Thanks, DC. I own you a lunch, alright?
WASHINGTON (finger shoots David) Deal.
David starts of in the direction of the meeting room again. He gets about 20 meters down the hallway before,
WASHINGTON (CONT'D) (shouts) Hey David!
David turns around and see Washington holding up his cell phone.
WASHINGTON (CONT'D) (still shouting) You dropped your phone.
DAVID (shouts back) Just give it to me later or drop it on my desk, I'm not gonna need it now anyway.

Day One of George Zimmerman's Murder Trial
The state of Florida's case against George Zimmerman began on Monday (June 24) and the highly publicized trial started off with many different emotions and even a knock knock joke. That's right, a knock know joke. The lead defense attorney Don West started off with a poorly executed joke which got little to no response from the jury in Seminole circuit court.
"Knock, knock," West said, stunning both the jury and the assembled onlookers.
"Who's there?" he answered himself.
"George Zimmerman."
"George Zimmerman who?"
"Congratulations. You're on the jury."
"Nothing?" West said.
The court was deadly silent and even one the state's attorneys shook his head in disbelief. West went on to apologize for the joke and he said, "I really thought it was funny," he said. "Sorry if I offended anyone."
A distended and concerned looking Zimmerman sat looking on as state's attorney John Guy got down to business and the seriousness of the case.
"'F—ing punks,'" Guy stated right away, quoting Zimmerman in his call to a police dispatcher in the moments before his confrontation with Martin. "'These a–holes, they always get away.' Those were words in that grown man's mouth."
Guy went on to declare that Zimmerman "followed and murdered an unarmed teenager." He also promised the jury, "The truth is going to come directly from his month. Hateful words. Lies he told to police." Looking on in the court were some of Trayvon Martin's family members, including his mother Sybrina Fulton, his father Tracy Martin and grandmother Marion Evans. The family sat and cried as they listened to the description of Trayvon's death on that February 2012 night.
The trial is expected to last up to 2 weeks or more and Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

How does he know so much about the supernatural? Well a family of spiritualists and demon hunters would, wouldn't they
Well. The first thing I could tell as I followed him in was that this was not a normal house. Not in a milion years.
At first glance, it might have looked like your average old mansion-trophy heads on the walls, stuffed animals in glass cases, mouldering tapestries, antique weapons that had been used to butcher countless creatures apparently at random by some famous ancestor hung in pride of place on the wall. But that impression would last no more than a quarter of a second before the reality of what was there jammed itself through your eyeballs.
There were trophy heads on the wall, but instead of deer and foxes they were hideously ugly, vaguely humanoid things with far too many teeth for comfort and great twisty horns. The stuffed animals were equally bizarre; several had multiple heads, some had wings, some had horns and I swear I spotted something that looked for all the world like a dragon. A touch of the incredibly surreal was thoughtfully provided by a small tableau of stuffed two-headed winged kittens dressed up in doll's clothes and having a tea party. And as for the weapons...bloody wooden stakes, flattened silver bullets, half-melted crucifixes. It was an occult-hunter's dream.
Sean was smirking again. I swung round and tried to jab him in the chest with an accusing finger; naturally, it didn't work.
"Okay, you, what in the name of all that is holy is going on here?"
His smirk widened, and I wished I had my corporeal body back so I could slap it off him. He was really beginning to get on my nerves.
"We're a family that's very interested in the occult and the supernatural," he replied with a touch of the smug. "Have you noticed the particularly fine tapestry Kabbala over there? Dad's very proud of it."
"Look, I'm not here to sight-see," I growled. "I'm here because you can see me and I want to know what's going on. You say you don't know whether or not being a ghost is normal, and then you bring me to this house that's full of random occult muck and expect me to believe that you don't know what's going on!"
He raised an eyebrow at me. I was fuming; half an hour ago I was popping out to get lunch having spent ten years working in marketing (which is about as grounded in reality as you can get...in some ways), and now I was dead, a ghost, trying to menace a boy who lived in a house full of spooky junk into giving me answers. The day was really not going my way and it had not improved my temper.
"Answer me already!"

FRISCO, TX — The Los Angeles Galaxy were able to escape both the heat and FC Dallas Stadium with a victory on Saturday night in front of a stadium record 22,565 in attendance. After notching five goals against Portland a week ago, FC Dallas was unable to make a dent on the scoreboard this time around, as they fell to the surging Galaxy, 1-0.
With a squad missing both Landon Donovan (yellow card suspension) and David Beckham (who appeared in the opening ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics on Friday), the Galaxy had only one designated player on the field in forward Robbie Keane. Despite those absences, the Galaxy were the ones creating more chances throughout the night.
Keane helped create the decisive chance when he set up Mike Magee for the eventual game-winning goal in the 62nd minute, slippin a pass to Magee at the top of the penalty arc.
"We just gave them way too much time and space tonight," FC Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman said.. "You have to give them a lot of credit, as they worked harder than us. This was the third time this year where I feel we got out worked. It didn't look like it, but a big emphasis tonight was to not let [Robbie] Keane free.
"It seemed like when we had the ball, we completely forgot about him, and he is the last guy in the attacking third that you want free."
Early on, the home side was controlling possession, as FC Dallas looked to keep the ball from both Keane and fellow forward Mike Magee. Despite holding the ball for much of the half, Dallas was unable to capitalize, as they failed to register a shot on goal. Meanwhile, the Galaxy came close multiple times, with Keane coming closest on a powerful shot just outside of the box that went just over the crossbar.
Coming out to the second half, it was Dallas that made the first substitutions, not LA. Fabian Castillo came on for Carlos Rodriguez, and George John came on for Matt Hedges. John was making his first appearance since May 26th, as he had missed the past two months due to concussion symptoms. Despite the extended layoff, the veteran defender looked the part as he was a strong presence in the back.
His presence alone was not enough, as the rest of the Dallas defense looked sluggish throughout the night. After conceding just four goals in their previous six matches, the defense failed to keep up with a surging Keane, who eventually set up Magee's winner.
FC Dallas was unable to return the favor, as they failed to equalize in the final 25 minutes. Seemingly preserving energy, the Galaxy allowed the home team to dictate control and the pace of the game, but they halted any chances Dallas had once they came close to the box. Dallas' closest opportunity to tie it up came in the 82nd minute, as Jackson was unmarked in the box, but the Brazilian missed a wide-open header just three yards from the goal.
Another key player for the Galaxy on Saturday night was defender Omar Gonzalez, who was playing in his just his third match since returning from a torn ACL he suffered in January. Gonzalez played his first full match of the season, and the reigning MLS Defender of the Year made his presence known, as he shut down forward Scott Sealy throughout the night.
"He was remarkable," Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena said of Gonzalez. "I don't think we thought he'd make the full 90 minutes tonight, after playing 65 minutes on Tuesday against Tottenham. We had two big centerbacks and a big goalkeeper in there together for the first time tonight, so it makes things a little bit easier."
After being asked what kind of shape Gonzalez is in during this stage of his recovery, Arena joked "after playing 90 minutes in 102 degree heat, I would say he is in decent shape."
The Galaxy are also in decent shape. After a slow start to the season, the club gained another three points and continues to inch closer to a return to the playoffs. The defending MLS Cup champions will return home to take on La Liga champions Real Madrid in a friendly at Home Depot Center on Thursday night.
FC Dallas will travel to Portland to take on the Timbers at Jeld-Wen Field next Sunday.
Here are the match highlights:
Only a few days ago they tied a very good Tottenham team 1-1 without Beckham and Donovan (All-Star game) and took it too the Spurs with pretty much this same team but having many more of the subs and reserves play. And now with 4 days rest they get to take on Real Madrid and them on to Seattle on the weekend.
"There ain"t no rest for the wicked….."
I hope Gonzo gets his shot with the national team. Wouldn't mind seeing him against Mexico.
Old School
Good job Bradley Cooper!
I try not to be curmudgeonly about international friendlies, but it's kind of a bummer to play 4 games in nine days when only 2 count for anything.
For those who missed it, here's quite possibly the worst rendition of our National Anthem ever broadcast to a national TV audience. I blame her parents for this.
that went on forever. Seems like she is trying to hard to be like Adele. But a lot worse.
They said during the game he was sitting out his second game. He probably wasn't around to answer questions.
Yeah… the anthem was long, dreadfully slow and drawn out and downright painful. It literally drove me to finish my laundry. I'm sure it was great for one proud Mom… but it was downright tortuous for the other 24,999 on hand and however many watched…. or fled the room at home.
Hard not to like an under dog, unfortunately for SJ, it ain't about who is on fire in June and July. In the end, it's looking like it may well be the same teams rising to the top. In spite of their incredible run, RSL is still nipping at SJ's heels for the shield, annnnnd…. LA is awakening and will peak at the right time and repeat for the Cup. Straight up… with Gonzo back and DelaGarza out wide where he belongs, LA is a completely different team and looking much more organized. A defense that was getting man handled earlier in the year on set pieces is pretty formidable with big boys Gonzo, Lopes and Gaul's air defense. Seems they won every ball in the air the second half.
Hyndman needs to be fired. He and the entire FC Dallas front office treated their fans with contempt by not playing their best possible lineup last night. Any slim chance for the playoffs is gone now. I am a supporter of this team and I am very unhappy with this club.
Gaul is finally starting to impress me. He created a lot of plays out the back. The Gaul-Gonzalez-Lopes-DeLaGarza backline is solid.
Another upset FCD supporter here. Schellas OUT is the message we need to be sending. He's gotta go along with HSG ownership group. So much about this team is just minor league and needs to be changed.
As far as the SSB before the game, it was horrid to be stuck in the stands listening to it. The stadium is long overdue for a better sound system, and it made a horrid rendition even worse to bear. I'd rather hear a prerecorded instrumental version of the song rather than an 11 y/o girl.

Way too many conversion rate optimization projects are coming up empty. Companies feel they work too hard for too little return.
Most conversion rate optimizations efforts are focused on pages and elements (we've identified over 1,000 variables) but don't focus on the entire persuasion scenario. That's how they cheat themselves. Most organizations face structural issues that prevent them from recognizing or correcting the problems. They simply optimize blindly.
Perhaps if I explain the issue, this column will help some smart CEO or CMO get out of the bind.
The Hierarchy of Optimization
Not long ago, Kathy Sierra wrote "What comes after usability?" Reading it inspired us to explain the hierarchy of optimization:
Sierra's graphic refers specifically to users and applications. Ours focuses on potential buyers who must be persuaded to convert. The two are similar but different. And unless you're actually designing an online application, don't treat your visitors as users.
A Hierarchy of Potential Buyer Needs
Like Maslow's hierarchy, the pyramid indicates that only once the base needs on the bottom are met can potential buyers move up to address the next need. As they arrive at the top of the pyramid, they're effectively persuaded to take action:
- Functional. Does this product/service do what the prospect needs? How easy is it for a prospect to determine this?
- Accessible. Can she access it? What are the barriers to her ability to realize the need? Is it affordable, reasonable, and findable?
- Usable. Is it user-friendly? Are there obstacles?
- Intuitive. Does the sales process/Web site feel intuitive and natural based on her buying preferences? Is she forced to endure unnatural buying modalities to realize her need?
- Persuasive. Does she want it? Does she truly understand if it fills her need or solves her problem? Is her expectation reasonable? Will she be delighted?
Any optimization hierarchy must reflect visitors' needs as they approach your site, as well as your sales/conversion goals:
The top of the funnel is market potential, the bottom is where prospects convert. Almost every conversion rate optimization effort focuses too narrowly on the bottom while ignoring opportunities above it. The best optimization efforts achieve usability. Many companies face persuasion issues, not conversion issues.
As you can see, the sales funnel and the needs pyramid are inversely related.
Determine Where to Allocate Optimization Resources
Any company committing resources to optimization should use these diagrams to determine where in the hierarchy its current efforts fall and what other areas might be more lucrative for optimization efforts.
Important points to consider:
- Is the value of your product/service too complex for most prospects to understand? If so, optimizing the sales funnel at the bottom, when prospects are ready to convert, isn't efficient. Focus on persuasion issues.
- If you know most of your traffic acquisition focuses on the late stage of the buying process or your product meets a basic, easy-to-understand need, focus on the base of the needs pyramid. This is the place for impulse buys.
- If you have strong brand awareness or are a market leader, optimizing the top of the needs pyramid will bear little fruit. Prospects know what to expect from your company. Instead, focus efforts on the middle to bottom of the needs pyramid. Prospects are already convinced of your brand's value.
- The checkout process and lead forms are where you can see the greatest buyer intent. If your checkout process or lead forms have relatively little dropout, optimize the top tiers of the pyramid to move and persuade more prospects to enter the bottom of your sales funnel.
Marketing, Sales, Development, Analytics, and Optimizers
So many silos, so little time! Optimization can boost results not by percents but by multiples. It just needs the proper executive sponsorship.
Hey, you! Yes, you, the too-busy-to-think executive. Do I have your attention? Are you ready to turn your optimization efforts upside down?

The psychology of numbers and how they drive conversions
