Congratulations! Much deserved.
Bit of both.
I studied for a design degree at University, but I found the course underwhelming. The vast majority of my knowledge/skills is self taught.
I appreciated University for other reasons though – social skills, working to deadlines etc and of course the lifestyle…
Congrats. I wish you continued success!
Congratulations! Great achievement.
As far as I'm aware, you were once allowed an animated avatar, but this is no longer the case however.
Those who had one set previously were allowed to keep theirs.
Great thread. Who could have possibly foreseen the discussion about reality?
I must say though, I understand people complaining about certain features that need to be implemented and haven't been. But to complain when things actually do get done? Really?
Congratulations Rafael!
First of all, both of the Game of Thrones books and TV series are really good. Huge fan. I think the TV series has done really well in bringing them to the screen.
The differences are mostly what you would expect when going from book to TV or book to movie. The plot is condensed, unessential characters are written out and minor changes are made to help it adapt to a TV audience.
I think a large problem is that the books are written from many different point of views. So there is obviously a lot of internal monologue going on that somehow needs to be communicated differently on TV. I think they have done well in this regard.
As always, people will say TV series/movies are never as good as the books, and they would probably be right. Some of the little changes have thrown me as well though, so there is a nice little bit of excitement of not knowing exactly what's going to happen.
Inspiring story. I wish you continued success in your future endeavours!

Apple Sauce
The sauce is delicious with everything from roast pork to waffles and pancakes. Or try this for a sweet 'n' easy windup to a fall brunch: Sprinkle a bowl of warm applesauce with granola and top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. (Source it all locally using Redheads Homemade Granola and Moomers or Shetler Dairy ice cream, available at many Northern Michigan grocery stores). I tweak my applesauce each time I make it—but here's the basic recipe:
- 7 or 8 Michigan grown apples (mix and match any varieties except ginger gold, honey crisp, red delicious and sweetango)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, optional
Place cored, peeled and chunked apples in a heavy pot and just cover with water. Add lemon zest and spices. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered until apples are very mushy—about an hour—stirring occasionally. Add more water if you need to. Turn off heat and break up chunks by stirring until the sauce is the consistency you desire.

Trace Adkins Weighs In on the U.S. Economic Crisis
"Let's just say it's OK to go in debt. That'll be good …. that'll fix everything," Trace Adkins sarcastically quips on CNN's 'Piers Morgan Tonight.' "That's where it started, and we've continued on a couple generations now — just allowing that way of thinking to dominate. It doesn't make sense to me."
The country superstar joined his former 'Celebrity Apprentice' rival Piers Morgan to talk about the national debt crisis, which has lead to the lowest stock market level in nearly a year. Trace offers a candid perspective on the crisis.
"If the government was a publicly held business that was traded on the stock market, the shareholders would have fired the whole bunch of them," says the hitmaker. "They'd say, 'We have to start over here. Something is seriously wrong.'"
In addition to talking politics, the 'Just Fishin'' singer visited with Piers to plug his latest album, 'Proud to Be Here," which was released on August 2. Regarding the collection's title track, the towering baritone told The Boot, "I thought about the fact that I'm still in this business after 15 years, still around and still trying to contribute. That's really what I was thinking about when I named the album that."
'Proud to be Here' is being packaged in three different versions. The standard album includes the original 10-song tracklisting, while the deluxe package contains 14 tracks, including a brand-new duet with Blake Shelton, 'If I Was a Woman.' There will also be a 16-track edition of the album, available only at Target stores, which will include two live tunes.
Watch Trace's visit to 'Piers Morgan Tonight' below.

Read It: 64th Annual Emmy Nominations [PHOTOS]
Reading off the Emmy nominations is a quick task, but it certainly makes a lasting impact. This year's 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Award nods were read off by Scandal's Kerry Washington and this year's Emmy host/nominee for Outstanding Variety Show, Jimmy Kimmel (who showed up in jammies).
First off, I am thoroughly disappointed that neither New Girl nor Happy Endings received a nod in Best Comedy Series. Come on, people!
I am pleased that Lena Dunham and Zooey Deschanel got nods for Best Leading Actress In A Comedy Series, as well as Max Greenfield for Best Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series. Next year, let's get the whole series up for a nod, hmm?
How about Downton Abbey, huh? Best Drama Series, Best Leading Actor In A Drama Series (Hugh Bonneville), and Best Leading Actress In A Drama Series (Michelle Dockery). The Great War is over and there's a ceremony to dress for!

well ...i am not sure ........according to my m$ training the answer is no.........so i will say yes because they say their passwords are uncrackable too but that is total BS. If you can copy the files to backtrack or any linux distro, where you are root ,then you can change the permissions and move them back to an NTFS partition, though i don't know how NTFS will behave ..........it should allow you to read and write but who knows .........windows is inconsistent if its anything.....so you can only but try i guess........just make sure you BACKUP!!!! There is probably a tool floating around for that very purpose i bet..........lucky for me most people don't know the first thing about security................ooopppssss i didn't mean that ............i didn't say that...
i don't know you....getaway........prank poster...prank poster
oh wait the ntfs will be read-only by default , i believe, but you could make a copy to a linux distro then copy your copy back to NTFS..........you might even be able to avoid an unnecessary backup...........i am getting dizzy
did i just say the same thing twice.............i am post post post editing at this point and i am really dizzy
really DIIZZZZZZYYYYYYYY......dzy...dzy...dzy
by the way that will only work on your personal files...........if they belong too someone else ........LUNIX will know and blow up your computer....dzzzzyyyydzyddzzzyyyyddzyzyydydyyzydyd yydydzzzzyyyyy
but wait there is more.............................
last i looked windows didn't "recognize " linux partitions..........though they are making deals now for " interoperability" but anyway burn the files you change from linux to cd then port them to windows or windows might ruin your Lunix partition

In Seeds of Insurrection, Manuel Barcia examines many largely overlooked ways in which African and Creole slaves in Cuba defied domination in the first half of the nineteenth century.elying primarily on transcripts of local and central court proceedings involving slaves, free people of color, slave owners, and witnesses, Barcia reveals the slaves' view of their world. He also explores the forms of domination practiced by colonial authorities, plantation masters, and overseers, gleaning insight from innovative sources, including medical reports and diaries of rancheadores, as well as public and private correspondence, newspapers, and the contributions of contemporary scholars.
In Seeds of Insurrection, Barcia expands the definition of resistance and adds an invaluable dimension to the understanding of slavery in the Americas.

[Visit the Photo Gallery, 2005 World Series of Poker Results and the WSOP Top Money Finishers]
Doyle Brunson once again proved why he's the best poker player of all time. At the age of 72 he won his 10th bracelet and tied Johnny Chan for the most career World Series of Poker bracelets. He beat out one of the toughest final tables so far this year. And for someone of his age to play until four o'clock in the morning is a testament his mental strength and willingness to win. His epic victory comes just one week after his son, Todd Brunson, won his first bracelet. His latest milestone also occurred four days after his friend Johnny Chan won his 10th.
The $5K NL Short-handed event began with 301 players. The prize pool was $1,414,700 and action began on day two with 25 players including several top names like John Juanda, Doyle Brunson, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Johnny "World" Hennigan, Layne Flack, Jason Lester, Men the Master, Scotty Nguyen, Kirill Gerasimov, John Duthie, and Minh Ly. This is my favorite event because the game is fast paced. With six players at every table, you are forced to make more decisions and play more hands.
When action got down to nine players, Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson sat on top of a huge mountain of chips. He was gunning for his 10th bracelet and at the time, he looked like a lock for the final table. I witnessed a wild hand where Men the Master showed me his hole cards as I stood behind him. The table was four-handed. Minh Ly raised all in. Doyle Brunson thought about it for a few seconds and called. Men the Master agonized over his possible call. "If my hand hits, I win a huge pot," he said to everyone within earshot. Men the Master picked up his cards and showed it to both me and Scotty Nguyen who got up from his seat at the adjacent table to check out the action. Men the Master counted up all his chips and thought for another minute before he folded A-K face up. Minh Ly showed Hilton Sisters and Doyle Brunson flipped over A-J. Minh Ly flopped a set and Doyle's stack took a big hit. He was down to under $150K but rallied to double up in chips once the final table started.
Here's the final table including chip counts:
Seat 1: Scotty Nguyen (Las Vegas, NV) $254K
Seat 2: Doyle Brunson (Las Vegas, NV) $309K
Seat 3: Minh Ly (Temple City, CA) $305K
Seat 4: Layne Flack (Las Vegas, NV) $350K
Seat 5: Jason Lester (Miami, FL) $119K
Seat 6: Ayaz Mahmood (Houston, TX) $169K
Here are some random facts about out final table players:
* The players at the final table have won at least 18 bracelets combined.
* Scotty Nguyen won 4 WSOP bracelets including the main event in 1998.
* Doyle Brunson won the main event in 1976 and 1977. He also won bracelets in H.O.R.S.E, Deuce to Seven Draw, No Limit, Seven-card Stud, Seven-card Stud Hi/Lo, and Mixed Doubles.
* Minh Ly was born in Vietnam. He has 5 cashes at the WSOP. This is his second final table and he's looking for his first bracelet. He plays in the "Big Game" with Doyle Brunson, Chip Reese, and Barry Greenstein.
* Jason Lester used to be a trader on Wall Street. He came in 4th at the 2003 WSOP main event.
* Layne Flack reached 10 final table and won 5 bracelets in his WSOP career.
* Ayaz Mahmood was born in Pakistan. He's in the hotel business back in Texas.
When the players were announced by tournament director Johnny Grooms, Doyle Brunson got a standing ovation from the audience. Early on, there was a race between Jason Lester's A-K and Scotty Nguyen's pocket sevens. Lester was still behind and picked up more outs with a helpful all spades flop of Q-J-8. The turn and river did not help Lester and he was the first player eliminated from the final table. He won $67,905 for 6th place. Scotty Nguyen moved into the chip lead.
On the ery next hand, Layne Flack went heads up with Ayaz Mahmood preflop when they both moved all in. Mahmood had the Hilton Sisters while Layne showed pocket aces. Layne flopped an Ace and caught quad Aces on the river to move into the chip lead. Ayaz Mahmood finished in 5th place and won $82,055.
Doyle Brunson became the chiplead after he won a big pot from Layne Flack, who flopped top two pair with K-J. On a flop of K-J-8, Doyle had A-8 with bottom pair and called Flack's bet. Doyle caught trips on the turn to win the pot. During one of the breaks, Doyle and Layne stayed at the table and played a couple of hands of Chinese Poker.
For a while it seemed that Scotty Nguyen did not want to play any hands. He sat back and watched Doyle Brunson and Lane Flack battle back and forth, with Minh Ly occasionally jumping into the fracas. Doyle Brunson moved all in with pocket Kings against Layne Flack's A-Q. Doyle flopped a set when a King fell and he caught a full boat on the river to double up against Layne. Doyle Brunson moved back into the chip lead.
With a short stack, Layne Flack got some of his chips back when he doubled up with 8-6o against Doyle's A-4. He later moved all in with the Hilton Sisters. Doyle called with A-Q. Layne Flack's Hiltons held up and he doubled up against Doyle again.
Doyle Brunson raised on the button and Minh Ly and Layne Flack both called. The flop was 10c-9h-3s and Layne Flack moved all in. Brunson called and Ly folded. Flack showed K-10 and Brunson flipped over K-9. Brunson was behind until he caught a 9 on the turn. Layne Flack's hand did not improve after Doyle sucked out on him. After four hours of four-handed play and Layne Flack was eliminated in fourth place. He won $99,030.
Doyle ran out to a huge chiplead despite the weary look on his face. The usually animated Scotty Nguyen was mellow. He remained patient while looking for his spots. Doyle took a huge chunk out of his stack, but he hung on a doubled up against Minh Ly. Scotty Nguyen was short stacked and moved all in with Q-J against Minh Ly's pocket fives. Scotty didn't catch any cards and he was eliminated in 3rd place. Scotty Nguyen won $106,105. Doyle has almost a $800K chip lead over Minh and the two began heads up play.
After a half hour, with Doyle fighting back fatigue, he chipped away at Minh Ly's stack. On the winning hand, Minh Ly limped in and Doyle pushed all in. Minh Ly called with K-Q and Doyle flipped over 10-3. Although Minh Ly trapped him, Doyle flopped a 3 and Minh's hand did not improve. Doyle Brunson won his record tying tenth WSOP bracelet and won $367,800. For second place Minh Ly won $203,715. Doyle Brunson won both of his World Championships with the 10-2 off suit and picked up his tenth bracelet with 10-3 off suit.
Doyle Brunson showed everyone that age does not matter at the poker tables. He finished 53rd in last year's main event and outlasted over 95% of the field. He also won an event on the most recent season of the World Poker Tour. Now he has another bracelet to add to his collection.
"It's hard to substitute for experience. And let's just face it nobody has more experience than me. Nobody is as old as I am either," he said to the jubilant crowd that stayed until 4 AM to witness another historic moment in World Series of Poker.

There have been times this spring where Travis Wilson has looked like he spent four months away from football.
Which, of course, he did.
On Saturday, the junior quarterback approached his old form with quick decisions and accurate throws, taking what the defense gave him and moving the chains.
It wasn't perfect: He had one pass batted down. There were a few plays where he'd have likely been sacked, including one during a two-minute drill that brought a reprimand from offensive coordinator Dave Christensen. Another time, Utah senior defensive end Nate Orchard pulled him down and Wilson chucked the ball at his head.

Fishing and conservation groups urge officials to reject water grab
A coalition of fishing industry and conservation groups today issued a news release urging state and federal officials to reject an attempted water grab by wealthy San Joaquin Valley agribusiness interests that threatens Central Valley Chinook salmon with extinction.
The groups include the Golden Gate Salmon Association, the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations, SBCSFA, Natural Resources Defense Council, Defenders of Wildlife, The Bay Institute, Earthjustice, Friends of the San Francisco Estuary, and American Rivers.
The groups say the San Joaquin River Exchange contractors are asking state and federal officials to increase pumping in the Delta to maximum levels over the next few weeks, during the peak of the salmon migration through the Delta.
"In a nutshell, the government is being asked to risk our valuable native salmon stocks and sacrifice thousands of sustainable fishing jobs and the economies of fishing communities all for a small group of wealthy water profiteers" said Zeke Grader, of the PCFFA which represents working fishing men and women. "That is unconscionable."
The latest attempt by agribusiness to increase water pumping out of the Delta during a big drought takes place as the Brown and Obama administrations are fast-tracking a twin tunnel plan that will make prospects for salmon survival even worse than they are now. The Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) to build the peripheral tunnels will hasten the extinction of Sacramento River Chinook salmon, Delta smelt, longfin smelt, green sturgeon and other fish species, as well as imperil the salmon and steelhead populations on the Trinity and Klamath rivers.
The so-called "habitat restoration" proposed under the widely-opposed plan will take vast tracts of Delta farmland, some of the most fertile soil on the planet, out of agricultural production in order to continue irrigating mega-farms located on toxic, drainage-impaired land on the west side of the Joaquin Valley. The water destined for the proposed tunnels will also be used by the oil industry for steam injection and fracking operations to extract oil from Monterey Shale deposits in Kern County.

CA Fishing Industry and Conservation Groups: Government Leaders Should Refuse Water Grab that Threatens California's Salmon with Extinction
Seeking Profits, San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors Insist on Reckless Waivers that Sacrifice the Future of California's Fishing Industry
Pacifica (March 27, 2014) – A group of wealthy agribusiness interests in the San Joaquin Valley urged Secretaries Jewell and Pritzker to risk the extinction of California's remaining critically endangered salmon runs by increasing pumping in the Delta to maximum levels over the next few weeks, during the peak of the salmon migration through the Delta.
They ask for this increase in pumping at a time in which diverting what little water is in the system will cause maximum harm to the already critically endangered winter run salmon, threatened spring run salmon and steelhead, and to the fishing community. This request would not only violate state and federal laws designed to protect Delta water quality and salmon and other native fish that rely on the Delta for their survival, but it also asks Governor Brown and the Obama Administration to abandon their efforts to balance all of the various water needs equally and instead put the needs of a select few agribusiness interests above the needs of everyone else.
The request came from the San Joaquin River Exchange contractors, a group that has been allocated a generous 40% of their contract water supply this year, even though most other water contractors have received a 0% allocation of water this year from the Delta due to the drought, including much of urban southern California. But the Exchange Contractors want more. Not only are these special interests seeking to elevate their needs above all others in the State, but documents prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation indicate that they are unlikely to even use the water; instead they plan to sell it to the highest bidder, reaping windfall profits at the expense of scarce public resources.
"The salmon industry is trying to dodge bullets in this drought with wild stocks getting hammered in drought-stricken rivers," said John McManus, executive director of the Golden Gate Salmon Association. "Although hatcheries are trucking fish to evade the drought, the salmon fishing industry faces future shutdown due to harm being done to federally protected wild winter and spring run salmon being sucked into the Delta pumps. The future of California's salmon depends on these flows being allowed to function as nature provided and not sucked into giant pumps that spell death to natural resources that belong to all Californians. Sharing water to address human health and safety needs is something all Californians can support, but this request is entirely different."
The National Marine Fisheries Service explained earlier this week that the drought is already causing serious harm to native fish, including salmon, and "we run the risk of perhaps losing an entire year-class of salmon."
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service echoed that water conditions in 2014 "could lead to the loss of an entire year class of juvenile fall Chinook salmon." While these agencies and others have devoted substantial effort and resources over the years to restoring California's iconic salmon runs, we must not undermine those efforts by allowing surviving salmon and steelhead to get slaughtered by unprecedented levels of pumping during the peak of their migration through the Delta.
Kate Poole, senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council said, "We urge Governor Brown and Secretaries Jewell and Pritzker to uphold state and federal laws meant to protect water quality and fisheries, and refuse the requested waivers by the San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors. Our leaders should not support water supply demands that directly undermine the law and sacrifice California's 150-year old fishing economy and the Delta's ecological health. We have much better solutions available than this short-sighted, self-serving water grab."
Implementing the changes requested by the contractors would require waiving several state and federal laws designed to protect water quality and fisheries, and would require the approval of several state and federal agencies tasked with protecting public trust resources. Governor Brown promised in his drought declaration that changes to existing state law requirements would be limited to those that benefited or avoided harm to fisheries and would not result in fishermen and the north coast fishing communities bearing the brunt of the drought's impacts. We urge Governor Brown and Secretaries Jewell and Pritzker to refuse the requested waivers and to implement water supply solutions that do not undermine the law or sacrifice one interest for another
"With reservoirs so low, next year's spawning salmon and their eggs are at great jeopardy too," said Dr. Jon Rosenfield, a fish biologist with The Bay Institute. "Loss of the salmon that are trying to make it out of the Central Valley now poses an unacceptable risk to the continued existence of winter run and spring run Chinook salmon, Central Valley steelhead and sturgeon and other species that are unique to San Francisco Bay Estuary – once they're gone, they're gone forever. If we can't rely on our fish and wildlife agencies to enforce laws that protect imperiled species, then we can be sure that proposals such as the Governor's twin tunnels will never be operated responsibly."
"In a nutshell the government is being asked to risk our valuable native salmon stocks and sacrifice thousands of sustainable fishing jobs and the economies of fishing communities all for a small group of wealthy water profiteers" said Zeke Grader, of the PCFFA which represents working fishing men and women. "That is unconscionable."
"There are no quick and easy solutions to California's current drought and it will take all interests working together to address the drought's impacts on fish, wildlife and people. Choosing to send water to select agribusinesses at a time that could spell doom for endangered salmon will only plunge California back into the water wars that Governor Brown and the Obama Administration have worked so hard to avoid. We need to do better if we are to come together this year for the necessary fixes to California's water system," stated Kim Delfino, California Program Director, Defenders of Wildlife.
"Instead of rolling back critical environmental protections for the commercial salmon fishery, we should look for ways to support those impacted by drought just as we would support communities subjected to floods, forest fires, and earthquakes," said Steve Rothert, Director of the California Regional Office of American Rivers. We must also work together toward longer-term solutions that ensure a future of healthy rivers, fishable salmon runs, and sustainable agriculture."

Charlotte, N.C. • As the Carolina Panthers celebrated their sixth straight win, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots were left wondering why a penalty that could have saved them on the final play was wiped out.
Cam Newton threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ted Ginn Jr. with 59 seconds left and Carolina held off New England 24-20 Monday night when officials picked up a flag in the end zone on the final play.
Newton drove the Panthers 83 yards on 13 plays for the go-ahead touchdown, but the Patriots had a chance at an improbable comeback when Brady moved New England to the Carolina 18 and fired into the end zone on the final play.
The pass was intercepted by safety Robert Lester, but officials threw a flag after it appeared linebacker Luke Kuechly had interfered with tight end Rob Gronkowski by grabbing him with both hands. The officials quickly gathered together and waved off the flag.
"There was no explanation given to me. Officials ran off the field. I didn't see anything," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "It was the last play of the game. There was a flag thrown and then the game was over."
An angry Brady sprinted over to two officials to argue the call as they walked off the field.
"He was kind of weaving in and out of there. I didn't really want to throw it over his head and out of bounds, so I was a little indecisive," Brady said. "It wasn't a great throw. No excuses. Should have been a better throw."
Meanwhile, the Panthers celebrated.
"We had good pressure and our safety Robert Lester was in good position to make the play," coach Ron Rivera said.
Brady was 29 of 40 for 296 yards and one touchdown.
Newton completed 19 of 28 passes for 209 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran seven times for 62 yards in what will go down as one of his best games as a pro.
After the game, Rivera called it a "gutsy effort."
"It wasn't our best defensive effort, but it was one of our better offensive efforts," Rivera said. "It was good for our guys to win a game like this."
Carolina's win came eight days after a 10-9 victory over reigning NFC champion San Francisco.
Newton gave Carolina a 17-10 lead in the third quarter on an 81-yard touchdown drive that took more than 8 minutes off the clock.
Storylines Carolina wins sixth straight
R Ted Ginn Jr. scores on a 25-yard reception with 59 second remaining to give the Panthers the lead.
• Tom Brady's pass to Rob Gronkowski falls incomplete on the final play, and the officials pick up a flag instead of calling pass interference

Workforce Experience And Customer Experience: Two Sides Of The Same Coin
Posted by Simon Yates on May 21, 2013

- 0 comments
In case you haven't noticed, the world of work is changing — people are more mobile, teams are more virtual, organizational structures are more fluid, work hours are more flexible, and offices have more ping-pong tables, latte machines and bring-your-dog-to-work days. In exchange for the more casual and flexible approach to when, where and how we do our jobs, we put in more hours whether they are accounted for or not. We write emails at the dinner table, work on weekends, travel more, and maybe accept lower pay and reduced benefits in exchange for a better work/life balance. Despite the tradeoffs, it seems to work for everyone. We get the flexibility we need and our employers get workers who are more engaged, more productive and better able to create and deliver meaningful value to customers. Over the last year or so, TJ Keitt and I have been leading research into workforce experience and IT's role in supporting a changing work environment and how to measure workforce experience.
Understanding employee happiness and workforce experience is more art than science today. There is a science — a science that Forrester helped create — to evaluate the quality of a customer experience and its relationship to loyalty and the likelihood that that customer will do more business with you. We believe the same is true of the employee's experience. CX pros believe that great customer experiences don't happen by accident, they have to be designed through a structured process that includes research, analysis, ideation, prototyping, testing and re-evaluation. We believe the same is true of workforce experience. CX professionals recognize that their relationship with customers is a constantly evolving dialog that improves that experience over time and as needs change. We believe the same is true of workforce experience. Our workforce experience research uses customer experience as a template. We believe that workforce experience and customer experience are two sides of the same coin. Customer experience is defined by ease, enjoyability and utility. By the same token, workforce experience is defined by employee engagement, productivity and customer impact. These characteristics translate into shared values like empowerment, loyalty, satisfaction and advocacy.
As an employee, it's great to see so much attention suddenly being focused on my happiness! The CEO of HCL believed in the value of employee happiness so much that he wrote a bestselling book on the topic: Employee First, Customer Second. In a world of "the customer is always right" and "customer first"? Surely not! It's not quite as counter-intuitive as you might think. The goal of the business is to create value for a customer and that value is created by the employees. It is therefore the responsibility of leaders and managers to create an environment that encourages and nurtures the people that create the value. At this year's Forrester Forum For CIOs in London June 10 and 11, we will get a chance to discuss the Employee First, Customer Second philosophy with one of the top executives at HCL, Srikrishna "Keesh" Ramakarthikeyan, Head of Global Infrastructure Services and Healthcare and a 2011 World Economic Forum Young Global Leader recipient. We'll ask him how HCL puts this philosophy into action every day and what specific tools they use to make it work. Please join us and if you have questions that you want to make sure we ask, please leave a comment and your question below.

1940 Ford Delivery Chassis Swap
"I have this friend" (I really do!) that has a 40 Ford Delivery (Not car--a truck) He wants to put the body on a newer frame. He was saying a Ford Ranger setup will work and he wants to use the V-6 and drive line from the ranger, I am suspicious so I though someone here would know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I saw a 40 ford TRUCK on a 86 ranger frame and it was a good fit. It had the 2.8 v6 engine.
good luck cj

As a long time owner of many 40's[unfortunatly never a Sedan Delivery], two from the ground up, I have to comment on this deal.I also have seen a couple of 40s on ranger frames, less than great if you ask me. I did see a 40 cpe on a toyota pickup frame that was a great fit, but not without effort.Does your friend not have the original frame ? If its not junk, its the best to use, in my useless opinion.To my eyes, the way the wheels fit the fender openings is real important. I think this is hard to accomplish with another frame.To each his own, thats just my two cents worth.
Don't quite understand the rationale for such a swap. The ranger suspension and v-6 aren't exactly what most people think of as prime street rod material. Might as well grab the family lawn tractor and throw in the 10 horse briggs and stratton. Don't waste that prime rod material on such a dog. Its too easy to throw on a nova front clip or a mustang II on these old fords and drop in a small block. Actually, my guess its much less work than doing the ford ranger thing. But, if thats what you want, do it right. Just dont plan on getting a lot of respect on cruise night with such a rig.
Thanks for the info guys, I would do it the nova clip way myself, but this guy is different and says this is going to be easier on him. As a friend I will lend him a hand and we'll see when it's done. Thanks again,,, Robb

Yes, call my Coors light whatever you desire but not everyone shares the same taste.

The architecture and decor is suberb. The attention to detail is beyond description. Location is wonderful. It is wonderfully tranquil and reminded me of the Lost City in Beijing.
Loved the hotel's landscaping and the deign of the facility. I've never seen a landscaping crew work as hard, and their efforts showed. Liked the pool a lot as well. The staff's professionalism can really be improved. They weren't rude but They need to work on the little things. My wife asked the front desk for a list of the costs associated with the hotel's laundry service. The guy at the front desk says "it's found in the closet near the tv" (which it wasn't). This is supposed to be a five star hotel. Other places would apologize and quickly go find a list for their guests, instead of fault the blame on their guests. Additionally, there is no hair conditioner in the hotel's bathroom. I understand that some may not require this, but I'd be willing to bet a good portion of the hotel's guests do. You have to personally request conditioner from the hotel's maid service. Weird. And finally, their drink pool service has a lot to improve upon. I had to go to the hotel's other bar on the other side of the hotel to get drinks by the pool. On the last day of my stay, the hotel staff told me I could call that bar and they would deliver drinks over to the pool, but when I called, no one answered.
Superb hotel. Designed with taste, very clean, well maintained. Located within the old city, easy for local tours to pick you up. Walking distance from other parts of the Old Town. Very good breakfast. I would definitely stay there again. Top marks for staff for being helpful and kind.Fantastic! The only improvement I can think of is to make one PC available in the lobby for the internet as not everyone carries a laptop (Wifi is available there)
Location I booked the hotel based on the reviews, but to my disappointment, it didn't impress me. The staff is nice, the location is good, that's all I can say the good things about the hotel. The hotel is not big, the setting is okay, the room is out dated, the food is the worst Thai food I ever had. So don't eat your dinner their, the complimentary breakfast is not bad. I am glad I stayed at the hotel for only one night.
The staff was fantastic and so friendly. The rooms were beautiful and the beds very comfy. It is also within great distance to everything in the old city including Wats and the Sunday night walking street. Walls are thin, so you can hear what's going on outside all night including dogs barking and loud music from next door during Songkran.
Very attentive, friendly and accomodating staff. Excellent little attached restaurant with good breakfast and very talented dinner chef.
We booked quite a while ago and got a free upgrade to the honeymoon suite on arrival. The room was great and we really enjoyed the hotel and lovely pool during the very busy light festival. The breakfast was OK...but nothing to get too excited about! Maybe the breakfast could do with some improvement. But the other food we had during our stay was great.
very nice hotel, big rooms, nice bathroom, nice swimingpool,was great with a littlle kid. massage was not so good. we also paid more for the tour we booked trough the hotel than guests from other hotels.
Very Nice staff. Beautifully arranged hotel. We loved the koi's swimming in front of our room. Great breakfast. Small but nice pool. At night with the lights on it's even prettier! Everything very clean! We had problems with the shower. It was from hot going to cold and back to hot and so on. We think it was due to the other guests. On moment when there where no other guests taking a shower the problem was much less.
very good value for money, excellent restaurant, nice cosy room, very central
helpfull staff, nice location not too many choise in breakfast
The hotel is very nice and it is well located. Staff is friendly and supportive. It's impossible to get privacy at this hotels. Walls are like paper and you always hear dialogues, noise and other things. I booked one night and we moved to other hotel bacause of this
