Are we dealing with the trend of specialised arbitration?Posted in Arbitration
The development of international arbitration in recent years has led to a significant multiplication of arbitration institutions around the world. In fact, every major city related to trade or industry has at least one dispute resolution centre. In addition to having long-standing, very reputable institutions for resolving commercial disputes, i.e. ICC in Paris or LCIA… Continue Reading

Failure of the regulatory model of the 2005 Polish ADR laws: Time for changePosted in Commercial Arbitration
It is ten years since the current Polish mediation and arbitration laws were enacted. Round dates encourage retrospection and thoughts about the future. Just like wine, law needs time to mature.

The Daily, Apple and News Corp's iPad-only newspaper has just gone live and will be available to download for 99c per week or a yearly subscription of $39.99.
At an event in the Guggenheim Museum in New York, Rupert Murdoch, Apple's Eddy Cue and The Daily's editor Jesse Angelo unveiled the new digital newspaper which will churn out up to 100 news pages-a-day "in different ways than we did before." The front page of the first ever Daily focused on the uprising in Egypt but Angelo said that should something happen in the coming hours, the staff at the Daily would be able to "break-in" and update the paper. "This is not a static product."
The demonstration showed off a number of unique features of The Daily including 360 degree pictures, HD video and a voice-over announcing the top stories of the day. There is even a video presenter who talks you through the top stories with Angelo saying The Daily will combine the best of print, radio and television journalism. That is reflected in the make-up of the 100 staff who have been drawn from all sections of journalism.
Apple's VP of Internet services, Eddy Cue announced that The Daily would be the first app which would offer an all new subscription billing service at the click of a button. Responding to a question at the press conference, Cue said Apple would be making an announcement "shortly" regarding other publications being able to do this. Readers of The Daily will be able to flick through pages as normal or can access the news via a central carousel which can play automatically with a voice-over if you just can't be bothered to flick through or read the stories yourself.
Sport will be play a major part in The Daily's content with a huge array of stats at readers fingertips though obviously these will be heavily skewed in respect of American sports - so unfortunately no curling stats then. Readers will also be able to access players' Twitter feeds via the sports pages, which will be a feature in all sections of the paper. Indeed Twitter, Facebook and other social media will be integral to the paper as readers can share individual articles with friends via their social networks.
Rupert Murdoch confirmed that $30 million dollars had been sunk into the project thus far, which will be written off by News Corp. He added that he was very confident the project would succeed. Asked what he would see as success, Murdoch said: "When we are selling millions." He told the audience the cost of running The Daily each week would be less than half a million dollars. The revenue spilt between ads and subscriptions will be more subs first but eventually move towards a 50/50 split.
Asked what the editorial voice of the paper would be, Jesse Angelo said: "It is a new brand and new voices. It will be patriotic, we love America. On specific issues, well, read the editorials and you'll see." The Daily will be aimed at the estimated 15 million America "who will own tablets in the next year" Murdoch said. When asked about an Australian version (and presumably it applies to all regions) he said that remained a possibility.
Asked whether The Daily is going to be available on other platforms, Murdoch replied: "We've been quite honest with Apple, and we'll be on all major tablets. But we think last year, this year, and next year will belong to the iPad."
The first edition we saw displayed earlier and the integration of the multimedia elements certainly looked impressive and it seems as if News Corp and Murdoch are certainly backing the project fully. Of course many have tried and failed with a subscription service for digital newspapers but the low cost of 99c per week could entice a lot of people to switch from traditional print media.

typo …. remember
I was there over the weekend .Iwas in one of the Cinema stuites . Overall its a good value for your money. The manue it alot like TGIF . there a nive size bar whgre the consession use to be. The seat are leather lazy boy reclinders .Only drawback is that you are interupted when the server brings you your check towards the end on the movie. Just remer if you go to a Cinema Suites theaters , go on an empty stomach
Here is a short ditty about one of the Ridgewood protecters
Thanks John so much for customer service
The twin was split in the middle right down the refreshment stand. Each theater had its own restroom . The box office had 2 separate turnstyle for each theater
What does the R stand for,
Sorry to report the theater is now closed , sad sign of the times. Here is a article about the closing.
The theater was a moneyloser for the clearview , high rent to boot
CORRECTION my last post is untrue I heard the news through a second hand (maybe a 3rd hand) unrelible source in witch I find out it was wrong . I am ripping up my Jimmy Olsen Cub reporter card
Bow Tie cinemas
This is the theater website
there was some interest of a major chain interested in saving this theater but the damages was too cost prohited
what a great story techman
Typo I ment thru sorry
I think Rave Will shut down all Chatters' from the former Cinema Delux'es. They can make more money thrue popcorn soda and candy sales
I forgot the link
Here is the website for the Little Art Cinema
the website for this theatre ia:
The older N/A megaplexes did that. The Valley Stream and Whitestone
(bronx) was orignilly built as Six pleaxes now through expansion and subdividsion are now 14 screens
With the nearby Cinema City Closes on July 22. The Palace will set aside 5 of its theaters to make The New Cinema City @ the Palace the next day. This will be great, it will have a separate enterance and upscale consession . This will offer the public an better selection . Insted of showing a hollywood blockbuster in 3-4 theaters you will get counter program with fine arthouse and independant features.
AMC has a AM cinema program movies for $6.00 on weekends before 12 noon . Justin What you know about this $5.00 plan
this is a nice promo describing Movieland
a lil ad for the American

here is the wesite of Cinema Holdings Group
This area is very middle class most of the stores are for the upper east side of NYC, the Hamptons ,or Beverly Hills.Except for Regal and Border's book store I will have no reason to go there

Joining them are tight end Tom Crabtree, inside linebacker Robert Francois and outside linebacker Frank Zombo.
According to NFL Network's Albert Breer, a first-round tender will cost $2.879 million, a second-round tender will cost $2.023 million and the original-round/right-of-first-refusal tender will be $1.323 million.
By offering its restricted free agents a tender, the team can match an offer from another team to retain that player's services. Here's how it works: For example, let's say the Packers give Shields the first-round tender. If Shields isn't offered a contract by another team, he'd play next season for $2.879 million. If Shields were to receive a contract offer from another team, the Packers could match that contract and Shields would play for Green Bay under the terms of that deal. If the Packers were to decide not to match that deal, they'd receive a first-round draft pick as compensation.
However, restricted free agents almost never change teams.
According to ESPN.com's Andrew Brandt, the Packers' former capologist, 20 restricted free agents changed teams between 2003 and 2008. Since then, only one player (running back Mike Bell in 2010) changed teams. Last year, standout Pittsburgh receiver Mike Wallace didn't attract any interest.
For Green Bay, the big decision will be the tender amount for Shields. The difference in money between the first- and second-round tenders is significant — $856,000 — though Shields has outplayed several first-round cornerbacks despite entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2010.
If the team concludes Dietrich-Smith is the center of the future, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers has stated on numerous occasions, it probably would be compelled to offer a second-round tender.
The Packers almost certainly will give Crabtree, a valuable blocker and special-teams performer, the minimum tender. Francois is a special-teams contributor, as well, but wasn't in the mix on defense this season. Zombo, with his lengthy injury history, has played in 12 games over the past two seasons after recording four sacks and starting six games as a rookie.

I moved out a few years back and have been renting out the flat to colleagues at the hospital so not only was it a great first time home for myself, it has been a great investment too.

Pay bills: You can use your money to pay off some debt on loans or credit cards. [ + - ]
Put it towards retirement: If you don?t need the extra money now, consider putting it towards your retirement funds. [ + - ]
Put it towards college: Kiplinger suggests using your refund to add to your or your child?s college fund. [ + - ]
Buy stocks: Kiplinger suggests using your tax refund to invest in stocks. [ + - ]
Boost your insurance coverage: Kiplinger recommends using the extra money to purchase flood and liability insurance, or any other area your policy is lacking. [ + - ]
Take a trip: Kiplinger suggests using the money to put towards a vacation. Pre-paying for your trip will allow you to not put the trip on your credit card. [ + - ]
Invest in yourself: You might want to use the money to spend on courses or certifications to help you further your career. [ + - ]
Buy things that help you save: Consider buying items that will save you money in the long run. ?Time? suggests buying a coffee maker, as making coffee at home instead of stopping to buy coffee on your way to work each day will eventually allow you to save money. CBS also recommends buying a water filter instead of spending money on bottled water. [ + - ]
Splurge on a grill: CBS.com suggests buying a grill for your home. This will allow you to BBQ at home, which will allow you to eat healthier and save money instead of eating out. [ + - ]
Buy a bike: CBS.com suggests buying a bike with your refund. Biking more instead of driving your car will allow you to save money on gas while also providing you with a workout. [ + - ]
Give to charity: If you are OK financially and have no immediate need for something to buy, Kiplinger suggests donating your refund to charity. Plus, your donation will be tax deductible for next year. [ + - ]

In case you hadn't noticed that an election is coming, tomorrow the arguments about asylum and immigration will get even fiercer when the Government produces its latest ideas in the form of a five year plan.
It's been variously trailed that the proposals will include a toughening up of the criteria for getting work permits and the introduction of financial charges to deter people from repeatedly appealing against decisions refusing entry to them or their families.
The Conservatives have pre-denounced the Government's plans as nothing more than talk while the former union leader, Sir Bill Morris complained that the parties were engaged in a 'bidding war' about who can be nastiest to asylum-seekers.
Andrew Rawnsley went to Number 10 to speak to the Prime Minister. After nearly eight years in power, he's announcing yet another plan for asylum and immigration. Does this mean that Tony Blair accepts that many people think his Government has lost control of the numbers coming into the country?

Looks great! My tank is almost identical lol.. Subscribed to this thread
its pretty!
Nice and clean
Thanks guys... I see more runners today... I hope this will carpet soon...
Day 14

Runners Pic
This is an excellent layout so far, especially for a first shot! Make sure to keep everyone posted!
great looking health plant.
This tank is gonna look great when its carpeted!
Thanks guys... That means a lot to me...
Woo, that's a nice scape...
Day 21 (week 3)
Algae on the rocks diminished, introduced some Red Fire and Neon Yellow shrimps, they're doing a good job...
I'm a bit worried about the my Oto, it has redness around its mouth. Did some research, it seems I'm not the only one having this problem... Hope he'll be ok... Still doing 20% water changes every 2 days...
Checked water today: All parameters are good except ph, it's a bit low, will reduce CO2 injection.
There's a bit of cloudiness, don't know why, maybe its the shrimp food dissolving, my feeding dish will be arriving soon. Hopefully it will help...
Shrimps seem happy...
Runners Pic...
So far so good... You can see the little improvement from previous week.. Little is a whole lot better than none
Wow that is awesome to see your Dwarf Hair Grass growing that well. I just got some new ones in today and I'm really hoping I have similar results. I still have to wait another few days until I get my lights though.
Those runners are really growing in!
Lovely tank and nice job!
It seems like your doing a great job! And ditto on the quote "little is a whole lot better than none"! Hope your oto gets better!
It looks really good. I think you're very close to where it will explode in growth as all those new shoots reach the surface. Have you considered trimming back what you have now to push the plant to make new growth? It's hard to do, but does seem to speed things along.
Will you keep it shrimp and otos or be adding any additional fish?

- - Stay implied during "Sit" and "Down"? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-theory-methods/429570-stay-implied-during-sit-down.html)
Stay implied during "Sit" and "Down"?
Is this the goal? Should 'Sit' and 'Down' ultimately imply a 'Stay'? Or should a 'ssit/down' commands be followed by a separate 'stay'? Ive heard different things.
I believe it is a matter of personal choice
I'd use a separate stay to make sure things are clear to the dog. It helps prepare them to "dig in" for duration. It is a personal choice thing though.
23 Attachment(s)
It entirely depends on what you want. For me, the command sit (sitz) or down (platz) means don't move until I give you another command. However, both of my dogs also know a stay command (each dog has a different command).
I agree it's a personal choice, both dogs know what the sit or down command entails but there is a seperate "stay" command which is not attached to a certain position which they've learned which essentially means "freeze in whatever position you are in now and don't move until released"
I like the implied sit/stay as long as I don't move. If I get up and move to a different place then I tell them to stay. If I am standing there and say sit or down I expect them to stay in that position until I give a release word or start to move.
The reason I use a stay is dogs usually see a sit down or stand as an action and not a position. Thats why you have to teach a down from a sit a down from a stand and down in motion as separate actions. Doesn't really matter that much though but its the reason behind my preference.
I do not use a stay command. A sit, down or stand etc means "get into commanded position until another command is given".
I don't teach a 'stay'. My last command is to be held until I either give another command or I give a release.
I do teach a 'wait'. Meaning, wait before you go through the door or wait inside your kennel after I open the door until I release. I want my dogs to be clear on 'wait', there is no gray area. This command may stop them from crossing the street, or running to meet my husband's pickup (while it's still moving) when he comes home.
Again, this just works best for me. Honestly, there are times when I'll say "Lay down and you better not move!" My dogs get what I'm implying......
I agree with Packen. Sit, down, and stand imply "stay in that position until you get another command or release word."
I do have a "wait" command but this is used by itself not paired with a position. Like say my dog is hiking off leash and gets ahead of me, I say "wait" and he waits until I catch up. Or, if I'm feeding dogs and don't want everyone knocking me around and diving in, I say "wait" and they have to stay where they are until released. I don't care if it's sit, down, or stand, just hold still.

Hello all,
I'm new here, and apologize if the following question has already been addressed.
Recently, I purchased a new pm9, read the manual, and took it out to the range to try. The manual describes a 200 round break-in period, and that's the number I fired at the range. Without exception, I could not get the first round chambered whenever I changed magazines. Always, the slide would stick open, no matter what I'd do. The only thing that seemed to work was slamming the bottom of the mag... this would chamber the first round. I didn't have any problems once the first cartridge was fired.
So, is this a common problem with the pm9? Is this what Kahr is talking about with respect to the break-in period? If so, how many more rounds do I need to put through before this stops happening? Or, at what point do I call Kahr to resolve the problem?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Looking back, 2012 presented its share of highs and lows for us. We experienced some sorrowful times…the passing of a close family member, the loss of my husbands job (after 20 years of dedication he was laid-off), and dealing with Chloe's diagnosis. But we also celebrated some bright moments…I successfully lost a huge amount of weight (to be shared in a future post), our home was featured in several magazines, I got the opportunity to talk shop, get styling tips, and hugged (twice) my interior design idol, and I did something I thought I would never do, because I feared it the most…I moved into a small corner space in a brick and mortar shop.
Ever convince yourself there's something you just "can't do". For example, I know I can't ski down a mountain. I've got both gravity and speed conspiring against me. And I know I won't ever be on television. I get so nervous in front of a camera, my face turns red as a beet and I suddenly forget my own name. Another thing I've had on my can't do list – pull together a shop space. That's kind of silly, considering I've been selling at flea markets for nearly 15 years. We're pretty much seasoned pro's at setting up in pitch black and tearing it all down hours later. But the thought of a permanent physical space sort of terrified me, with that little voice of self-doubt inside me whispering "you don't have what it takes".
That's where encouragement and good friends come in.
I've had the fortune of surrounding myself with an amazing circle of strong, inspiring women who gently encouraged me, until one day I finally said "okay, I'll take a chance". And in December we loaded up a moving truck with all my best treasures, bought a gallon of my favorite Canvas Natural paint (RL), and drove up the coast to Ventura, where we were faced with this blank canvas…
And in just a few days time, my little corner space with the tiny window went from this…
To this…
I moved in the first week of December, which explains the Christmas-oriented theme. Now when I visit the shop each week and see my sales tickets, it feels incredibly reassuring that maybe I do have what it takes and people "get me". I've learned to let go, and allow myself to take more risks and chances.
The funny part is, I've been a regular customer of American Home & Garden for over 10 years and I always loved the quality merchandise the dealers bring to the store. On Saturday mornings, Adam and I would drive up to Ventura, grab breakfast at Pete's, walk along the ocean and going antiquing. To now be a part of this incredible store is incredibly fulfilling.
One of the store's vendors, well known blogger Kathee from Chateau et Jardin is a dear friend of mine. You can see lots of great photos of American Home & Garden on her blog. She along with all the other ladies in the store have been great mentors, for which I am so grateful. I look forward to sharing more about the store, the vendors, and the amazing merchandise that arrives each week.
If you would like to come visit and shop the store, here's the info:

Preparing Your Bow for a Whitetail Deer Hunting SeasonPosted by WCWOhio on 08-27-2012 10:45:44
You draw, then press the trigger on the release. The arrow flys just under the bucks belly or harmlessly over its back. This is a scenerio that happens to every bow hunter eventually. But there are things that you can do to limit this to being the exception rather than the rule. Hunting with a properly tuned bow is one of those things!
Getting your bow ready for bow season should be more than pulling it out of the closet and drawing it back to see if everything feels OK! When you venture into the woods you need to know your equipment will perform. Gaining that knowledge should start before you shoot your first arrow.
Next take a look at the string. First look at its serving. This is the wrap that goes around the string where the arrow is nocked. Is it coming untied? Is it worn excessively where the arrow nock goes. Look for fraying ends. If there is a problem with the server, you can replace it without also replacing the string. Also look for cuts in strands of the main string. The cables should be inspected. The new strings on the market will last longer than the old strings but they don't last forever. String stretch on a two-cam bow cause the cams to be out of time. This will cause erratic arrow flight. You can add a twist to the string to compensate for the stretch.

"Since we can't do it all in-house, you have to find a partner who asks the right questions, instead of just selling you on their capabilities. If they're consistently delivering results, you should treat them like an extension of your own staff, not like a vendor."
Phil Russo, CAE
Executive Director
The Challenge
In 2008, the board of directors at NAFA Fleet Management Association was looking for ways to boost its authority and reach in the fleet management industry. The 50-year-old Princeton, N.J.-based organization billed itself as the world's premier not-for-profit association for professionals who manage fleets of sedans, public safety vehicles, trucks and buses as well as military and off-road equipment for organizations. Despite offering research, regional chapter gatherings, seminars and an annual expo, lack of interest in the association's publications combined with the strong presence of for-profit publishers within the industry meant NAFA's voice as the association for the fleet management profession was fading.
The Solution
Naylor representatives met NAFA's new executive director, Phil Russo, CAE, at a conference in 2008 and proposed a solution: Let Naylor's experienced team of designers, editors, marketing specialists and sales representatives work with NAFA's staff to transform the magazine into a well-designed source of news and commentary about fleet management topics while offering NAFA the opportunity to earn more non-dues revenue that would support its other membership activities. NAFA agreed, and Naylor went to work. The magazine's distribution was streamlined from eight to six issues per year, and more advertising pages were added for industry supporters. The title also changed from NAFA Fleet Executive to FLEETSolutions to position the magazine as a source of answers and resolutions for vehicle management. A complementary digital edition allowed NAFA's 3,400 members to read the magazine at their desks and on their mobile devices.
In just six months, magazine revenues grew nearly 25 percent and online readership increased seven percent. NAFA and Naylor began looking at other ways Naylor's portfolio of association communication products could benefit NAFA, and began producing a biweekly eNewsletter, FleetFOCUS, that delivered timely information and updates to members on the go. While NAFA welcomed additional non-dues revenue, the value of having professional, consistent member communications was equally important to its leadership.
"Effective communication isn't just reaching out to members when you want something from them like a dues renewal or an exhibit contract," said Russo. "It's about keeping the dialogue going continuously."
Trade Show Expansion
By the beginning of 2009, NAFA was feeling the trickle-down effects of the American recession via sluggish sales for booth space at its annual Institute & Expo. The show's guide was also becoming an expensive item to provide attendees. Capitalizing on the success of the magazine and newsletter, Naylor took over booth sales and the show guide and, despite the nationwide slump in the auto and truck industry, sold enough space to share a significant portion of the revenues with NAFA. Naylor has produced the NAFA Institute & Expo Show Guide and has increased the amount of booth space sold every year since 2009. Show sponsorship revenue increased 213 percent between 2008 and 2011, with NAFA receiving a revenue share every year.
With its print and event components successfully meeting the needs of members and industry supporters, NAFA turned to NaylorNet, Naylor's online division, for additional help improving its online communications. Naylor began producing advertising for NAFA's website in early 2010, and in June of the same year launched an online buyers' guide to assist NAFA members with peer-to-peer purchasing. A mobile version of the buyers' guide was added in fall 2010. Although the association was apprehensive about advertising on its website, Naylor allowed them to maintain full control of the project, from the initial designs through testing and final board approval.
"Whatever the opposite of 'duck and cover' is, that's how you've got to operate. There are great opportunities in all economic climates, and if you have the courage to put the pedal to the metal when everyone else has the brakes on, you can make your own success and come out of the downturn with a full head of steam while everyone else is just getting back on their feet."
Website sales are now NAFA's most profitable product. FleetFOCUS and FLEETSolutions continue to deliver pertinent fleet management topics and advertising opportunities, and an annual directory was added to the list of Naylor-provided products in late 2010.
A Stronger Voice in Fleet Management
Because NAFA and Naylor worked together to transform the association's communication platforms, NAFA has a stronger persona and a stronger brand. They have once again become the voice of the industry, displacing the for-profit publishers and positioning membership in NAFA as a hallmark of fleet management professionalism. And NAFA's relationship with Naylor has become a true partnership where each participant carefully considers the needs of the other — and delivers on its word.

3 cops injured after suspect lights self on fire
Police say a man armed with a bottle of flammable liquid set himself and a police officer ablaze before another officer shot him
Editor's Note:
According to WFAA, one of the officers is in critical condition.
Associated Press
CEDAR HILL, Texas — A man armed with a bottle of flammable liquid set himself and a police officer ablaze Wednesday before another officer shot the suspect at a suburban Dallas shopping strip, police said.
Three officers were burned with the suspect at a Cedar Hill chicken wing restaurant, with one being airlifted to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, city spokesman Corky Brown said. The suspect also was taken to Parkland, while the other two officers were taken to a nearby hospital, he said. Information on the severity of their injuries was not available.
The man was suspected in a nearby burglary when officers pursued him into the Wingstop restaurant and tried to subdue him about 3 p.m. Wednesday, police Lt. Charles Reiss said. Witnesses said a female officer brandished a stun gun and the man yelled, "I'm going to set myself and the restaurant on fire."
The suspect, who reeked of gasoline and was holding a bottle of flammable liquid, set himself and the female officer on fire, Reiss said.
"Ten seconds into the Wingstop, you hear screaming," said witness Robert Gonzales. "That's when the man left the Wingstop completely on fire. He looked like a human torch. He had no facial features."
The female officer also ran into the lot, fully ablaze, Gonzales said, so he and another man, Spencer Stroud, ran to tried to smother the flames. Stroud said the suspect continued to pour liquid from the bottle on himself.
The other officers chased the blazing suspect and tried to smother his flames, before one officer finally shot the man, Brown said. Aside from the bottle, a yellow lighter was found at the scene, Brown said.

UPDATE 2-Waters Q2 earnings beat Street; 2008 outlook bright
(Recasts; adds details from conference call, analysts' comments)
By Jennifer Robin Raj
BANGALORE, July 22 (Reuters) - Drug research instrument maker Waters Corp (WAT.N: Cotización) posted second-quarter earnings that beat market estimates on strong sales in Asia, and raised its 2008 earnings outlook, sending its shares up 10 percent.
The company posted net income of $83.1 million, or 82 cents a share, compared with $59.9 million, or 59 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 13 percent to $398.8 million.
Waters, which competes with Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (TMO.N: Cotización) and Applied Biosystems Group ABI.N, earned 76 cents a share, excluding adjustments related to income tax and amortization expenses.
Analysts on average expected earnings of 71 cents a share, before exceptional items, on revenue of $394.7 million, according to Reuters Estimates.
Sales in Asia, excluding Japan, rose 22 percent during the quarter. Japan sales fell 6 percent, hurt by currency fluctuations. Europe sales grew 3 percent while U.S. sales were up 6 percent for the period ended June 28.
The key drivers of growth in the second quarter were strong demand from developing markets in Asia, continued expansion of the company's industrial businesses and sales in its instruments division, Chief Financial Officer John Ornell said on a conference call.
"(Waters) had a pretty good quarter in terms of demand from the drug industry as well as industrial customers. This is a trend we have seen the last few years and it really does not look like that has changed even though the broader economic environment remains challenging," Leerink Swann analyst Issac Ro said.

Gametrailers review is a 9/10
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Glad to see it get another 9. For those following the Robert Cram videos he gave it a 8.5 on his site which I think is called MS Xbox World or something to that effect. I have a feeling it's average will end out in the 75-80 range barring some unusually low score ala joystiq.
OK, after watching the video review, I am so bloody excited to dig in! Really great to hear how well the combat is, especially concerning the diversity; some of those high level magic spells looked outstanding as well. While the lacking story is one such downside, I imagine I'm hardly going to care once I really get deep into all of the mechanics and will be too busy exploring to really care about any sort of narrative.
What struck me as weird with the review, though, was when the ME2 Launch trailer theme started to play at around the 7 minute mark.
Seems to be getting scores all across the gamut. Joystiq gave it what two stars? And there are several in the 7 and 8 range.
I figure the max GB will give it is a 4, but I have feeling it might get a 3 given the glitchiness if they are feeling uncharitable.
Not that i care I already decided I'm going to buy it.
@Agent47 said:
Only thing bumming me out is like they said in the review there is no randomization enemies will always be in pre-determined spots.But hey that's something they could always adress in a patch, if there was enough outcry about it.
That isn't exactly true, even if it is mostly right. Enemies do have respawns and there is a certain random element to it. A place that is safe during the day might have enemies at night, a place that is bandits during the day may be a ogre in the evening, etc etc. Also apparently as you get further in the game some mini boss monsters start showing in new places. So while there might "always" be enemies at a given spot it might not always be the same enemy and the situation may change a bit depending on things. Certain spots will be static though, like the canyon leading from Cassardis to Gran Soren is always harpies... :/

Reviews seem to be all over the place, which I guess is to be expected, after the reaction from the demo.
Personally, I enjoyed it a lot though, so I'll be buying it eventually, regardless of scores. I certainly don't put much weight behind what Gametrailers thinks.

People see an 8.7 as an 8 and obviously a 9 or above as a "perfect" score. The trolls need an excuse after all...
I'll wait till more reviews start cropping in and then I'll make my decision,

Student loan consolidation is a very practical way to repay your student loans and put your finances in order.
A consolidation loan puts together all your student loans into one loan, hence reducing your monthly payment.
Consolidating your student loans can reduce your monthly payment up to 60%. Student loan consolidation simplifies your finances by enabling you to make a single payment per month.
You could then save hundreds of dollars each and every month.
There is student loan consolidation service available in all states. It is easier to get student loan consolidation services for Federal government student loans than private loans.
Private student loans are dispensed by private institutions. The most common are Citibank student loans and the Sallie Mae student loans.
They charge a higher interest rate than the federal loans.
Federal student loan consolidation should be done before private student loan consolidation.
Debt consolidation works well. However other ways to sort out your student loans include obtaining student grants and scholarships.

England Complete
Dominant Victory
Featured News | 1st August 2010
England captain Andrew Strauss was quick to praise swing-bowling teammate James Anderson after the Lancastrian claimed 11 match wickets to help claim a comfortable victory at Trent Bridge.
The 354-run victory margin signalled as much about Pakistan's weak batting as England's strength with the ball and the tourists seem destined to struggle to get a foothold in the four-Test series which continues at Edgbaston on Friday.
"You can say that Pakistan batted poorly, but I prefer to focus on the bowling," said Strauss.
"There's no better bowler in the world when it's swinging than Jimmy, and he was backed up very well by Broad and Finn.
"Our biggest aim is consistency and you don't do that in one game.
"We have won five Test matches in a row, but certainly that Bangladesh series you would expect us to win."
Pakistan scored just 80 second innings runs - there lowest ever total against England - and were all out before lunch.
Nottinghamshire spinner Graeme Swann caught Mohammad Asif in the slips to give Anderson his eleventh wicket of the match and complete England's victory.
- Supporters that attended day four of the npower Test at Trent Bridge are entitled to apply for a 50% refund by referring to the conditions of sale on the rear of their ticket as less than 25 overs were bowled.

I already got some requests when this theme will be ready for purchase, but finally this was rejected without any detailed comments except usual reason "it did not meet our minimum requirements for quality and/or marketplace policies"
Hello Shamalli, quite frankly your theme needs some serious rework. Kindly read through this thread looking at comments from potential buyers and no doubt you will see why your theme was rejected. Not to be brutal here but it look and fees very dated. I only say this in the interests of you getting the approval you want in future. Good Luck!

Hey @UOU Apps no plans for an open source plugin for the booking system with this theme, we will be adding most of the functionality in the theme with some stuff being taken care of by WooCommerce.
You'll be able to create a simple city directory or a reservation directory like "Yelp" using third party apps that will be integrated into the theme.@charlie4282 ETA = Stress, so we don't provide them.
ny chance we can get a sneak peep at the homepage and the category page layout? The combination of sharedesk and Airbnb should make a powerful theme.
Suggestions: 1. Ensure the homepage has a powerful search that can be sticky when page is scroll 2. Focus on SEO; poor SEO means little or no directory listing being index in Google 3. Site should be light' fast, and easy to load on any device; proper coding should fix that 4. Remember city directory has listings with no images; understanding this would ensure that listings with no images still looks great 5. Frontend submission should be simple for business owners that are not computer savvy
That's allCan't wait to see it…
Great point on SEO … listings with schema.org markup would be GOLD in my opinionGOLD
AloisFN said
Perhaps differentiate by looking at innovative approach to:
The list above also extends to managing listings. Gotta say uouapps comes the closest in my book so far. Excuse the rant & the uouapps plug …
- How users search/find stuff – are they searching for item/product/business etc
- Search results display + filtering (may include conversion/engagement elements)
- Item/product/business display
- Item/product/business page + conversion/engagement
Actually Google's multiple app landing pages can provide excellent inspiration
- How users search/find stuff – are they searching for item/product/business etc
- Search results display + filtering (may include conversion/engagement elements)
- Item/product/business display
- Item/product/business page + conversion/engagement
Excuse the rant & the uouapps plug …
Just to re-emphasize to all theme designers: Do test usability relentlessly. Remember what the ultimate users of the directory (not necessarily just the theme buyer) would use the directory To Do i.e. what conversion/engagement we need from the directory visitor.All well and good having a nice looking large map and large pictures. But if
- that's not what's most important to a directory visitor or
- a large image/mapping location does not figure into the conversion process or
- that's not why the ultimate user of the directory/classified site is visiting the directory ….
Disclaimer: I am by no means an expect on usability but this just my 2 cents. I do realize you have to draw the line and ship at some point.
Great theme CrunchPress. Congrats on biting the bullet and releasing first. Good Luck.
Just reminder guys please expand the payment methods to include invoice generation for offline payment or perhaps base it on Woocommerce where we can buy third party extensions that will work in whatever part of the world we in. Tx.
Looking forward to buying some great themes.
AloisFN said
Been hunting for a good classified/directory theme for a while now so forgive the length of this post. Just wanted to share a some thoughts on what I believe a good number of buyers would be looking for in a classified/directory theme.
Demo + configuration: ?Pretty sure I'm not the only one to fall in luv with a theme demo, buy it and then be greeted by a blank page on installation. Then spend hours/days/weeks trying to get it just like the demo. Then also find that it will cost just as much if not more than the theme itself to get the configuration in the demo which takes the author all of minutes to load. So please do include configuration as part of package otherwise I am among those that will mark you down for this or mark up for plug and play functionality.
Payments: Consider that not all countries/clients have access to Paypal. Solutions should also support off-line payment (generating invoice and/or reference number) and/or support a wider array of payments i.e. Payfast,2Checkout,Stripe, etc at no additional exorbitant add on charge. Investigate dominant 1/2 payment gateways across Asia, Europe, Latin America and Africa.
Submission and listings management for the client: should all be on the front end with no WP admin bar on top once client logs in (screams amateur hour to me if I see it). Perhaps your front end could also allow clients to sort and filter their submissions in addition to normal CRUD functionality and pagination. Belive premiumpress and spotfinder do quite a good job with listing admins for clients.
Google Maps integration with geolocation listings are obligatory in my book. This should function well for listings searches and submission.
Listings review: The ability of reviewers to ?review on more than one aspect of a listing e.g speed, quality of service, knowledge or support etc would be a plus.
Admin back end: A visual page builder for home, search results, listing detail pages and client profile pages is a deal winner. The ability to control listings packages for either individual or membership packages down to the number of listings and category charges combined with listing expiry is a clear deal winner.
UX/UI I think enginethemes is one of the best in overall UI appearance terms I have come across. Responsiveness goes without saying but please do test this on different platforms please please. Not just on screenfly or similar tools but the actual devices themselves. So many times I've found themes not living up to the expectations of the beautiful mockups. Spacing of text,images etc for a clean look is good but in moderation lets remember the whole point of listings/directories is to convey as much necessary listing information as quickly as possible and not just showcase huge pictures. I don't see why half a page needs to be taken up by a large main menu or listings need a full page for a picture (may make sense in real estate but for a car portal you would not necessarily expect clients to always have high res full page type pics nor want a full screen view). If viewed on a mobile and it can behave like a native App that's a clear deal winner. Positioning+highlighting of CTAs needs to be well considered i.e. what is the visitor to a listing profile or listing supposed to do once he or she lands on the page. I have strangely come across pages were the CTA are just in normal text? or below the fold or I have to guess what next to do. In responsive designs also consider where the telephone or other contact information is shifted to. I personally don't want to scroll past tonnes of space or a huge image just to get to the number/email address i.e. my action after reading listing info. Consider using collapsible accordion style instead of tabs for additional info on listings pages. Tends to work better come time to respond to different screen sizes. Modals popups are not bad idea on desktop or tablet screens provided the screen scrolls up automatically to it. If it doesn't then it becomes annoying to scroll up to hunt it down. For this reason it can be even more annoying on smaller phone screens. Basic and advanced listings filter: different categories with different specs
Monetization: This be the whole point of directory/classified themes so I believe this should be the solid base around which the design and other functional elements are built. Key deal clinchers include The ability to place banner or adwords ads throughout the site and how this can be controlled (on search results pages, category and sub-category levels for example). Maybe even how clients can order banners in addition to ?the feature listings. Ability to control listings through individual ad submission or membership packages with add ons for feature listing or how long listings will last.Apologies for the long post just had to get this out there.
Just to add to the UI/UX/Monetization rant above I all too often found a common gap in directory or classified themes on TF is what information is displayed in search results (list).
I guess it depends on what type of listings the site has but I find it frustrating to not see important product/business info displayed in search results with a clear CTA to make my search easier (call me lazy ). Having key summary info immediately available has the benefit of one less click the user has to make to find what they want and increases the chances they convert (whatever that may mean in your context). Dunno about you guyz but this is a no brainer because less frustrated-happier users = more engagement/conversation = more sales = more money in my book.For starters each line of product results may have:
- Product Image
- Single or multiple Prices (optional)
- Vendor/Seller-image/logo
- Short Item description
- Location
- Distance of user from product/vendor/seller Location
- Product ratings+certifications/reviews or verification badges
- Availability i.e. for e-commerce/rental type sites
- All important CTA "buy-now/contact-now button + add to favorites and/or email/telephone info"
How one cleverly fits this all in without making the UI look cluttered is the challenge. But as an example check out the product search results on any PC product on Bestbuy with some but not all features above (not the best example but useful to show what I mean). Also AitThemes – TourOperator theme on TF seems to be well on its way on some of the search results points I mention above.
Perhaps this is one area where the competition entrants can differentiate themselves and/or be niche focused i.e. search results for Hotel-BnB Booking/Restaurant/Cars/Medical Specialists/Equipment Manufacturers/other niches
BTW if you have a directory/classified theme also consider how search results display for companies or products would differ to each other. i.e. how different is a company search results page to a product search results page or how do you combine the two.
Lastly, generally I believe most online directory/classified users are now well trained (subconsciously) to look for CTAs on the right hand side of your page by default. I find it personally a bit confusing to scroll through a huge picture, tonne of text only to find a contact form right at the bottom. Thus in my opinion the top right hand should be reserved for CTA i.e. info like vendor/seller logo or profile pic+contact info+contact form (good if form fields can also be modified+not a pop-up).
Am I alone in these observations and frustrations?

good news we just purchased the woo product vendor plugin which allows multi-vendor and apparently it's compatible so we just need to make some debugging due to collateral effects and then we should be set, buyers will be happy about it we kept receiving so many requests
as for the cart into an inquiry cart can you please explain what you mean ? thanksUOU
Checkout wearespaces dor com for example of enquiry cart I mean
sorry for the delay, I briefly discussed it with the dev, we would need to rediscuss it more in details so would you mind following up directly via PM or on the comment section of glocal / metrodir) the idea of having an inquiry cart is interesting, the only thing is we can't really make custom changes to the existing woo-commerce plugin because it might have collateral effects during updates but we'll try to see if there's any other altnerative solution, if you have any plugins to recommend feel free to inform us)
thanks UOU
Thanks UOU for your reponse. Will contact via PM or glocal/metrodir comments should I come across a solution that seems to not have collateral effects you note (good point by the way).
