- Not Durable Review by Alex
Feeling like I could have made a better more durable one for cheaper.
Serves its function, but its very brittle and I dont expect it to last long before it breaks. (Posted on 05/09/2012)
- Excellent Service Review by Sam
- Poor quality Review by motorcycledeluxe.com
I'm really disappointed! (Posted on 13/06/2012)
- Works As Described Not As Shown Review by Dave B
The Camalapse product video is deceptive. Camalapse only winds clockwise and rotates counterclockwise yet 2 of the 4 sample clips on their product video shows rotation of left to right. Camarush's response is that these clips were reversed in editing which won't do for many uses. For example, if you want to track the movement of the sun and clouds across the sky, you would have to orient the camera northward for a left to right rotation to work. When reversing the video sequence won't work, you have to suspend Camalapse and camera upside down and flip the video vertically (a Hero2 setting option or do it in editing). If you use a tripod that can invert the center shaft, you are limited to a rotational angle between the tripod legs. If your tripod can mount the center shaft horizontally, you can use enough mounts to rotate 90 degrees and suspend the Camalapse upside-down that way. You could also make a bar that threads into the top of a typical tripod that lets you offset the Camalapse enough to mount the camera upside down and suspend it. Just take care to not do this on a small tripod where you shift the weight to the tipping point. To prevent that, you could offset a longer bar to act as a counter balance.
My point is that they went to great lengths to exaggerate what the Camalapse can do without disclosing the limitation so I can't give them 5 stars.

The blog is back.
Miss me?
Can't say I missed "Jersey Shore." Much like I can't believe Situation has survived the first two weeks of "Dancing With the Stars." Just goes to show how low the Q scores for a couple of '80s icons must be.
But while I may have been gone, the "Jersey Shore" juggernaut rolls on. Last week's episode gets almost 6 million viewers... Situation makes like Gene Kelly ... Snooki gets a book deal...
For the record, that makes two "Shore" mates (Snooks + Situation) with books forthcoming. Jenni's got a clothing line. Pauly's doing the DJ thing. ... I hear anything about Vinny scoring a record deal, and I'm out.
Instead, lets get ready for tonight's episode by taking a quick peek back at last week's funtastic escapades of Sitch and Co.
No. 1: Angelina continues to anger her roomies; is she trying to get voted off the island? Earlier this season, it's Jenni threatening her, or Pauly exploding on her. Last week, she goes after Situation for criticizing her loose (Poor word choice? Nah...) standards considering house cleanliness, and her roll in keeping things tidy. Hey, even Sammi knows enough to know Angie's a friend with deficits. Tonight, the jewelry comes off as Snooki enters the arena. Is it telling that in the promos for tonight's ep, no one steps in to break it up? Uh, yeah...
No. 2: Situation's new squeeze Samantha -- Is she interested in Mike ... or the cameras that follow him?
My vote? Cameras. She is, after all, a model. And while the living might be good, a little face time on "Jersey Shore" could also make things go pop. Or, fizzle. Either way, we'll see more of Samantha tonight when "Jersey Shore" airs an all new episode at 10.
The season is entering the home stretch now. Between new "JS" episodes and "DWTS" on Mondays/Tuesdays, there's plenty of "Jersey Shore" goodness to decipher in the next month. And the blog will be all over it.
Come back after tonight's episode for a few quick thoughts, followed by a full recap tomorrow morning.
Till then... GTL.

Chase Freedom is one of the most awesome cash back credit cards and I use it on a regular basis. They offer 5% cash back in categories that rotate each quarter. I almost always use my Chase Freedom card whenever I make a transaction in one of these categories because 5% cash back is very hard to beat.
Second Quarter 5% Cash Back Categories
For April, May and June 2013 (the second quarter) Chase has chosen restaurants, movie theaters and the home improvement store Lowe's as their 5% cash back categories. We normally end up at restaurants and Lowe's on a semi-regular basis so these are useful categories for us. We don't go to too many movies, but there is a local $2 theater that we could get 5% cash back at. Granted 5% off of a $2 ticket isn't much, but it is better than 1%!
If you have a Chase Freedom card, don't forget to activate your 5% cash back for the second quarter of 2013. You can activate your 5% cash back here. As always, you'll earn 1% cash back on all other purchases you make your Chase Freedom card.
The Chase Freedom card also offers a $100 sign up bonus if you don't have one yet. You only have to spend $500 within the first three months in order to qualify to receive the $100 sign up bonus. It is one of the easier sign up bonuses to qualify for due to the low $500 spending threshold. If you're interested, you can apply for the Chase Freedom credit card here.
5% Cash Back Gets Even Better
A great benefit of getting 5% cash back on my Chase Freedom card is the fact that I can transfer the Ultimate Rewards points I earn to my Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card. I can then transfer these points to other rewards programs such as the Southwest Rapid Rewards program at a 1:1 ratio.
This is great because 100 Southwest Rapid Rewards points can be exchanged for $1.67 in Wanna Get Away fares, essentially increasing the value of my points by 67%! If I use this strategy and transfer my points to the Southwest Rapid Rewards program, I could earn the equivalent of over 8% value on my bonus category purchases. There are a ton of other programs you can transfer your points to on a 1:1 value as well.
If you don't have a Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card make sure to check out the Best Credit Card Sign Up Bonuses post to learn more about it. The Sapphire Preferred credit card offers a $400 sign up bonus and many other great benefits. Be careful though… it does come with a $95 annual fee that is waived for the first year.
A Word of Warning
I consider credit cards as a tool. If not used properly, tools can be very dangerous. Much like using a chainsaw, if you can not handle using credit cards properly you could easily become injured, although it would be financially and not physically.
Please don't apply for credit cards if you cannot pay them off in full every month. There are other payment methods other than credit cards. You can always use debit cards, cash or even try to remember how to write a check.
Do you have a Chase Freedom or Chase Sapphire Preferred card? Do you have any tricks to get more cash back or more value for your Ultimate Rewards points?

Why don't you know anything about Pittyvaich? Because the Speyside distillery was built in 1975 and torn down in 1993. As Diageo notes, this Special Edition release, distilled in 1989, survived longer than the distillery itself did.
Aged in refill American oak and first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, this is classic non-sherried Speyside from start to finish. On the nose, it's surprisingly racy, its golden hues offering up gentle malt, heather, warm honey, butterscotch, and gentle vanilla.
In keeping with the luscious nose, the body is fairly hot yet quite well rounded, its oily, honey-dripping body showcasing a variety of treasures. Mild citrus, almonds, a smattering of baking spice — all come together quite beautifully to present themselves atop an enchantingly sweet palate, with a lingering finish that recalls Sauternes, honey syrup, and a slight dusting of cinnamon. Balanced just right, it showcases an achingly gorgeous sweetness without ever becoming cloying. It may not be incredibly complex, but its intensive focus on a handful of key, nicely harmonized flavors elevate this malt considerably.
A highlight of the 2015 Specials, at a "mere" $350, it's also one of the best bargains in this year's lineup.
99.8 proof. 5922 bottles produced.

Housing starts are expected to total 929,000 in today's update for May, based on The Capital Spectator's average econometric forecast (seasonally adjusted annual rate). That's a moderate increase vs. the previously reported 853,000 for April. Meanwhile, The Capital Spectator's average projected gain for May is slightly below the numbers in several consensus forecasts drawn from surveys of economists.
Here's a closer look at the numbers, followed by brief definitions of the methodologies behind The Capital Spectator's projections:
VAR-3: A vector autoregression model that analyzes three economic series to project housing starts: new home sales, newly issued permits for residential construction, and the monthly supply of homes for sale. VAR analyzes the interdependent relationships of these series with housing starts through history. The forecasts are run in R using the "vars" package.
ARIMA: An autoregressive integrated moving average model that analyzes the historical record of housing starts in R via the "forecast" package.
ES: An exponential smoothing model that analyzes the historical record of housing starts in R via the "forecast" package.
R-1: A linear regression model that analyzes the NAHB Housing Market Index in context with housing starts. The historical relationship between the data sets is applied to the more recently updated NAHB Housing Market Index to project housing starts. The computations are run in R.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Eye inflammation, irritation and watering is one of the side effects of Xeloda. The ideal treatments is to use anti-inflammatory or mild steroid eye drops after consulting an Ophthalmologist. But in the meantime, you can use lubricating eye drops (optive/refresh tears/systane) and decongestant eye drops like (naphacon-A/visine). These eye drops are available over the counter.
I have requested the moderators on the website for a refund of your money.
Let me make somethings clear, only a qualified Ophthalmologist can give you the treatment advise that I provided and not 'anyone'. This is an online website. We are at a disadvantage of not being able to examine the patient first hand also, we can only advise treatment based on the drugs available over the counter. This is not a substitute for a first hand evaluation by doctor and writing prescription medicines.

Brand Value, Preference and Customer Value Effects of Non-conventional Utility Products: An Experimental Analysis in Mexican Market
The role of customer value has been largely recognized over time by the firms as an instrument towards stimulating market share and profit optimization. The customer values for innovative products and unfamiliar brands of firm in competitive markets are determined largely by habits, reinforcement effects, and situational influences than strongly-held attitudes. Marketing organic cosmetics is a recent phenomenon in the business and it is largely being encouraged by the growing environmental consciousness among the customers. Many multinational companies have entered the market of organic cosmetics and toiletries (OCT) in the global marketplace. However, there has been little awareness among the elite customers in Latin American markets about the harmful effects of synthetic cosmetics on prolonged usage. This study attempts to discuss the impact of economic and relational variables on customer and brand values in reference to OCT products in Mexico through empirical investigation in selected departmental stores that attract high profile customers.

ALBANY, NY-- New York's operators and vending
machine patrons escaped Gov. David Paterson's
proposed soda tax last year, but it's back on the table in
the state's $136 billion 2011 budget he unveiled on
As part of his plan to close the state's $7.4 billion deficit,
the governor proposed raising $1.1 billion by hiking
taxes and fees, including a penny-per-ounce tax on
nondiet soft drinks and a $1-per-pack cigarette tax.
Paterson justified the soda tax and cigarette tax hike
by pointing
out that the state spends $16 billion a year on
healthcare for smokers and people with obesity-
related diseases. The tax on nondiet drinks, which he
says contribute to obesity, would generate an
estimated $404 million a year. Milk, juice, diet soda
and bottled water would be exempt under the
Lawmakers rejected Paterson's soda tax last year, but
signed into law his proposal to expand New York's bottle
deposit bill to impose a 5¢ deposit on bottled-water
containers smaller than 1 gallon. That law went into effect
last November.

Superbike styling right from Yoshimura Suzuki Road Racing! The trapezoidal shape is all business but as racing enhances the breed – the result function driven shape makes for a beautiful muffler.

The R-77 features a straight baffle with removable low volume insert. The muffler's front-cap is MIG-welded while the end-cap is riveted using high-end 304-L polished stainless steel rivets and bands. It was a perfect choice for Honda's new 500cc line-up!

Katie Couric on 'Glee': First Look! (VIDEO)
Katie Couric is the latest in a long line of guest stars to get her moment on Glee, and we've finally got a first look.
Check out the video, after the jump:
The CBS Evening News anchor will make her appearance on the February 6, post-Super Bowl episode, and by the looks of it, she'll shimmy with Mr. Schue and have an unpleasant run-in with Sue Sylvester. (Is there any other kind?)

So, can we reinforce with him that he's not welcome and maybe serve him up an ultimatum? Something like, "hey, you know you aren't welcome here - you've been told before. Its not a crash pad, or a place that things can be taken from. So, please take off. If you can't stop coming back, we'll have no choice but to call the cops".

I kinda think the sign on a door is a little freaky...mostly because we're supposed to be a place about welcoming anyone. So, if a new person comes by the space and sees a big sign that says "this person isn't welcome", I think it kind of gives off a weird, passive aggressive vibe.

Anyhow - just my $0.02 -

Matz dominates Miracle, Mets win 6-1
Maron, Matz combine to doom Fort Myers
By St. Lucie Mets | April 17, 2014 10:40 PM ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. (April 17, 2014) - Steven Matz tossed a seven inning gem in helping the St. Lucie Mets beat the Fort Myers Miracle 6-1 on Thursday at Hammond Stadium.
Matz, making his third start of the season and second start against the Miracle in six days, allowed just two singles and one walk in seven dominant innings. He struck out six and carried a no-hitter in the sixth.
Cam Maron, Matz's catcher and fellow Long Islander, gave his teammate all the offense he would need. Maron delivered a two-out, two-run single in the sixth off of Brett Lee to break a scoreless tie. It's the third time in four games against the Miracle that Maron has provided the go-ahead hit. The Mets have won all four games they've played against Fort Myers.
Matz did not give up a hit until there were two outs in the sixth. Desperate to get on, Levi Michael dropped down a perfectly placed bunt and reached first safely when Matz's throw from the third base line was late.
Jorge Polanco followed with a bloop hit into right but that would be all, as Matz got Dalton Hicks to ground out to end the sixth.
The Mets added two more runs in the seventh on a two-out base hit from T.J. Rivera. With the bases loaded, Aderlin Rodriguez was plunked by a pitch to force home a run.
St. Lucie made it 6-0 in the eighth when Michael booted a ball at second and Robbie Shields scored. Later, Eudy Pina scored on Dilson Herrera's sac fly.
The Miracle got a run off of Jake Kuebler in the eighth, but Kuebler settled down and got the final six outs of the game without further issues.
Herrera extended his hitting streak to nine games with a single in the seventh. Brandon Nimmo saw his nine-game hitting streak come to an end, but he walked in the sixth to get on base for the 13th time in 14 games.
The Mets (8-6) and Miracle (8-6) meet for game 2 of their three-game series at Hammond Stadium on Friday at 7:05 p.m. Fans can listen to the broadcast with Adam MacDonald on www.stluciemets.com or locally on the Treasure Coast on WPSL 1590 AM.

Leahy to become longest serving Senator in Vt. history
12/22/08 5:51PM By Bob Kinzel
| Download MP3
VPRs Bob Kinzel takes a look at Leahy's long career in the Senate.
(Kinzel) George Aiken represented Vermont in the U.S. Senate for 12,412 days between 1940 and 1975. Leahy won the open seat that resulted from Aiken's retirement and he was sworn into office in January of 1975 when he was 34 years old. He's been re-elected five times.
Leahy has cast almost 13,000 votes in his Senate career - he says one of the most difficult was one of the earliest. Leahy was a member of the Armed Services committee, and in April of 1975, he voted to end funding for the Vietnam War:
(Leahy) "It's interesting it's hard to find anybody who supported that war now but I'm the only Vermonter who ever voted against the war in Vietnam and it ended basically by a one vote margin I think that was a very memorable thing."
And of all the votes that he's made, Leahy says there's one that he's most proud of:
(Leahy) "That's the vote against going to war in Iraq I felt we should have gone into Afghanistan caught Osama bin Laden not be distracted by Iraq now thousands of lives later and a trillion dollars lost I think most people wish we'd all voted that same way."
Leahy also disclosed for the first time that President George H.W. Bush sent him on a very sensitive diplomatic mission to the Middle East after the first Gulf war in 1991:
(Leahy) "He wanted me to carry personal messages to the leaders of a couple of countries in the Gulf states where there had been some friction and so I went and carried the messages for him and carried their messages back and I'm being purposely vague because of the nature of what was involved."
Leahy is known as the cyber senator in Washington because of his early interest in the Internet, he's invited the members of the Grateful Dead for lunch in the Senate Dining room, and he's launched a very personal crusade to remove millions of landmines throughout the world.
Ellen McCulloch Lovel worked as Leahy's chief of staff for 11 years between 1983 and 1994. She now serves as the President of Marlboro College. She thinks there's a good reason why Leahy has had a successful Senate career:
(McCulloch-Lovell) "What he hasn't ever lost is this wonderful mixture of realism and idealism and you know he's a real Vermonter and he never in all these years he hasn't lost his Vermont values."
Leahy is a big Batman fan and he's even had small parts in a few of the Batman movies. McCulloch Lovell thinks Leahy admires what Batman represents - a fight for good over evil forces - forces she says Leahy witnessed first hand as a prosecutor in Chittenden County:
(McCulloch-Lovell) "Maybe his love of the Batman character shows a couple of sides to him... this is a person who wants to do good a warrior in that sense...his time before the Senate showed him the dark side of human nature and he's realistic about that as well about how people behave."
Leahy is also known for using humor to make important policy statements on the Senate floor. In 1989, he urged his colleagues to reject a proposed federal balanced budget amendment.
He said it was a simplistic solution to a complicated problem and he argued that members of Congress should have the courage to vote against excessive spending - then he quoted the Wizard of Oz:
(Leahy on Senate floor) "What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage ! What makes the hottenhot so hot what makes the ap in apricot what have they got that I ain't got ? Courage ! Now Mr. President, the cowardly lion finally got his courage we ought to get a little."
Leahy will officially surpass George Aiken's record on Saturday.
For VPR News I'm Bob Kinzel in Montpelier.

|Exploring opportunities for the integration of genetic data into fisheries management resulting from the European Union Data Collection Framework Regulation (DCR 199/2008)

|In its user guide on the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) the underlines that fisheries management in the EU relies on scientific advice, and is therefore dependent on accurate, relevant and up-to-date data. Since 2001, the CFP has set aside funding to help national authorities collect both economic and biological data related to fisheries management. Originally Council Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000 established a Community framework for the collection and management of the data needed to conduct the common fisheries policy ("The Data Collection Regulation" - DCR), for which Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1639/2001 determined Community programs for the collection of data in the fisheries sector and laid down detailed rules for the application.Despite examples clearly demonstrating the value of genetics for marine fishery management, routine use of genetic information in this field remains exceptional. A variety of reasons are responsible for the conspicuous absence of genetics. Some are historical, others arise due to a lack of communication between fish geneticists, fisheries managers and regulators. Also, integral to the problem, the current management infrastructure is not conducive to the uptake of genetics: Fish(eries) genetics remain confined largely to the academic realm, and research projects where there is a lack of long-term perspective and funding. As a result there is no central data-hub available for this type of information and it is not routinely collected and updated. This ICES Working Group Annual Report explores opportunities for the integration of genetic data into fisheries management resulting from the European Union Data Collection Framework Regulation and formulates a number of recommendations adressed at the ICES Scientific Commitee and other stakeholders to reach this goal.

Nydri (or Nidri) is a resort on the eastern coast of Lefkada, offering view of the small islands of Madouri, Sparti and Scorpios. The coast around the resort is very peculiar, resembling a peninsula with many small bays, and part of Nydri is in something like a gulf.
The place is the liveliest resort on the island (after the capital). Except for any kind of shops, cafes and restaurants, there are also bars and night clubs working until late in the summer. A rich variety of accommodation options is available. Nydri has a port from which ferries and trips to neighbor islands depart.
The beach is pebbly, with clean water. The sea is usually calm because the nearby islands and peninsula make a natural shelter.

Discount Cigarettes Wholesale for Newport Cigarettes like Newport Shorts are popular among menthol cigarette smokers as well as business people.
10 Photos From The '70s And '80s That Would Get Parents In Lots Of Trouble Today When Mommy Shorts creator Ilana Wiles interviewed her mom about raising kids in the '70s and '80s, she learned just how different parenting looked mere decades ago. "Forget sippy cups, our parents didn't even use car seats or bike helmets!" Wiles told The Huffington Post. "She said she honestly couldn't remember if I had a car seat or not," the mom recalled. Following her interview, Wiles asked readers to submit childhood throwback pictures and expected an influx of cute vintage baby pictures. Instead, the mom was surprised to receive tons of photos of kids riding in the beds of pickup trucks, playing with firecrackers and biking without helmets. "It was so interesting to look at nostalgic photos that most of us can totally identify with our childhoods and realize what extreme danger we now consider most of these things," she said. Wiles compiled some of the images into a post called "41 Photos That Would Get Our Parents Arrested If They Were Taken Today," that later went viral. As a mom to two young daughters, Wiles says she falls somewhere in between free range and helicopter on the parenting spectrum. "I think you need to let kids fall and make mistakes for them to learn and grow," she said, adding, "But that doesn't mean I will ever go out of my way to put them in danger! And I am always watching from a safe distance." Though the mom hopes people will get a good laugh out of her photo post, she is quick to note that she does not think kids today should stop wearing helmets and start playing with firecrackers. "Most of the new laws and cultural changes are in place because of very real accidents that have happened throughout the years," she explained. "But I also hope people realize it's OK to relax a little and your kids will still most likely turn out the same." Wiles conducted the initial interview and posted the callout as part of a sponsored campaign for baby products brand Munchkin. She told The Huffington Post that she will be creating a follow up post, and parents are still welcome to submit photos on her Facebook page. "I've already got pics of a 9 year old in a cage with a live bear from the early '80s and a baby from the '70s with a gun rack hanging above her crib!"

Category talk:Jesus
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Just a thought...why isn't there a topic on "Emo Jesus" I have a few pics(I didn't invent Emo jesus but these are the ones I"made")
there are many "examples of "emo jesus" out there;)
- Appreciate the suggestion and the images, but personally I don't feel the need for another Jesus. I mean, sure, god might have been a bit of an "easy lay", but even a deity isn't that cheap... Of course you're free to try anyways. Just write an article called Emo Jesus and add [[Category:Jesus]] at the end.

'Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.,' says the LORD (II chronicles 7:15)
The most Holy God spoke to late Dr. D.G.S. Dhinakaran to establish a Prayer Tower, which is a place of solace & comfort to millions of people who are in agony, sickness and tears and to wipe away the tears of the broken hearted through the prayers offered in the Prayer Tower. In obedience to His command, the first Prayer Tower was established in Chennai at 16, Greenways road, on the 12th of August 1983.
The broken hearted call or visit the Prayer Tower seeking prayers and divine counsel. The Prayer Intercessors and counselors listen with empathy and fervently pray for God's deliverance and blessing to come upon their lives. God hears the prayers and miracles, healing and deliverance happen in the lives of such people.
By the grace of God and in obedience to His voice, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran has established 72 Prayer Towers in different parts of India and 12 Prayer Towers around the world. People from all walks of life come to the Prayer Towers seeking deliverance and blessings in their lives.
Everyday nearly 10,000 people call and visit our Prayer Towers in India. The Prayer intercessors pray for the people in our 24/7 Prayer Towers 365 days in a year to intercede for the broken hearted. All our services are offered free of cost to everyone who calls or visits the Prayer Tower. The operations of the Prayer is sustained by the offering and donations sent by some of our well wishers and donors.
Blessing in the life of Prayer Tower Partner …
We are associated with Jesus Calls and partners in the Prayer Tower Ministry. We have been praying for a long time for own house. One day as we were watching the Jesus Calls TV program, Bro. Paul Dhinakaran prophesied saying, "You have been praying for a long time for a house. The Lord will surely fulfill your desire this month."
As prophesied, the Lord graciously helped us to purchase a house in our native place. We thank God for this great blessing in our lives. Surely, God has built our house since we built God's house (the Prayer Tower).
– Mrs. Malika
Our mission is to establish Prayer Towers all over India to comfort the broken hearted through the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. The need to build more Prayer Towers is increasing as the number of people who come seeking for God's blessing and deliverance in their lives. We need more prayer intercessors to pray for the people and also need to expand many of our Prayer Towers to facilitate and cater to the need of the growing number of visitors. Your sacrificial offering will help us to reach more and more souls every day.
Build God's Home and God will build yours …

1,000 dealers share their thoughts about chat, text and messaging in general...and how these communications pay off. SEE HOW
Stephen Cannon, the CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA, believes he needs to further differentiate the Mercedes-Benz brand. He plans to accomplish his lofty goal by elevating the customer experience of his retail customers to a new level. As he explained in Automotive News, "the need to deliver an exceptional, truly differentiating customer experience has never been greater." But how is Cannon attempting to redefine the luxury experience in the already established luxury market? The answer is a consultant from New Jersey; who is described by many as the world's #1 customer experience expert.
Lior Arussy, a former executive of HP, travels the world consulting for some of the world's largest companies (FedEx, Citigroup, HSBC, Royal Caribbean, etc..). In 2011, Lior's company, Strativity, was hired to lead Mercedes-Benz's customer experience initiative. After analyzing thousands of employee engagement surveys submitted by employees of Mercedes-Benz dealers, Strativity devised a plan to redefine the Mercedes-Benz customer experience. Since 2011, Strativity consultants have trained thousands of Mercedes-Benz employees throughout the entire retail dealer network. And it seems, while Cannon never said the name of his "secret weapon," he appears quite satisfied with the results:
Cannon & the "Customer Experience":
How I met Lior:
In January of this year, Strativity hosted a 3-day workshop in New York to certify corporate executives in Customer Experience Management. I attended the seminar, and I was instantly impressed to find myself in a room full of high-ranking International executives that travelled from as far as Australia for the opportunity to meet Lior. It was as if Lior had his own cult following; nearly all the attendees read at least one of Lior's books, blogs, or even keynotes. I felt like an outsider. I never even heard of Lior, and only found the seminar through a Google search. However, just like everyone else in the class, I was quickly "enchanted." Unlike other cultural or leadership consultants that throw abstract ideas at executives, Lior actually presented us with a framework and pragmatic action plan to implement immediate change within our companies. We left the workshop with a certificate, an action plan, and a memorable experience.
As more and more companies jump on the customer experience bandwagon, it's important to understand that an elevated customer experience begins with components of an organization's culture – specifically the level of engagement between employees and customers. These interactions are the fundamental determinants of how a customer will perceive a company.
The stakes are high but the rewards are big… Investing in a car dealership customer experience program improves loyalty, profitability, and branding. However, it takes tremendous buy-in from the dealer principal, as it can be a strenuous and eye-opening experience. Any dealer that's willing to take the plunge, and is ready to transforms satisfied customers into extremely satisfied customers, should consider a customer experience initiative.

Wrestling Information
A well rounded technical wrestler with a multiple personality disorder. He often gets fiction confused with reality and confuses his life with that of movie & cartoon/comic book villains. On one hand he's spastic & unpredictable, on the other he's over confident, egotistical, and narcissistic. At times he can seem completely heartless and insane, while he can also be rather genuine and comedic.

Signature Taunts/Poses
Kyle constantly smiles or glares(as a heel) at various audience members and the camera.
Kyle is a submission specialist and sound technical worker. What he lacks in power & size against bigger opponents he makes up for in speed & ability. He is known for being able to withstand a lot of punishment, and loves to play possum. However many opponents under estimate his strength, and by the time they've realized their mistakes he has them locked in a submission hold. Crosby loves being able to out smart his opponents and inflict extreme physical damage. If you show any type of weakness or flaw, he'll waste no time in meticulously & viciously picking you apart. He doesn't like to use weapons, but will if It's necessary. Referees will usually have to yell at him several times to release as submission hold even after the bell has been rung.
Update: With Kyle's return, his actions and demeanor have changed slightly. Less negative and a little more reception to his peers and fans, the Canadian Cobra seems less focused on hurting other for the sheer pleasure of doing, and is more focused on winning essentially.
"You'll know why I'm called the Cobra when you get a taste of that Canadian Venom!"
"I only want to be recognized for the truth..and that's just how good I actually am."
"It's not about you or them, IT'S ABOUT ME!"
"I am "the New Icon" of this business!"
Previous Experience
Wrestled all throughout Middle & High school. Won various tournaments with the Ontario Amateur Wrestling Association(OAWA) as well as several tournaments in Calgary as well. When he turned eighteen, Kyle relocated to Calgary where he trained with Larry Stern at his wrestling academy. After graduating the school he wrestled shortly for New Calgary Wrestling Association(NCWA). He would then travel to the UK to make appearances in various promotions, which led to him being contacted by Japan Pro United(JPU). There he became a one time junior JPU tag team champion, a two time junior JPU heavyweight champion, and also won the annual JPU Young Stars Cup. This would gain the attention of CWA employee Jack Adams, and Crosby later signed with the promotion.
Current Partner
Past Known Associates
Guardian Devil - Making his return to CWA on the night of Five Star Attraction, Kyle heard GD was looking for a partner. So the two teamed up to defeat the Gang Stars and become the new tag team champions.
Jason Blair - The man who Kyle had some what brain washed into following and obeying his every command. Attempted to abuse his size and power for his own doings.
Jay Walters & Hade Mckenzie - Two lower card tag team wrestlers who Crosby took under his wing, and used as additional security, back up, and muscle.
In-Ring Attire
Short red or white tights with his signature Canadian Cobra logo on them somewhere. Often has his name is on the back in GI Joe font.
(Also comes to the ring with a Canadian flag on a hockey stick at times)
Non-Wrestling Attire
Before matches, usually a red/white track suit (w/logo & name on back).
Likes to wear expensive custom fit suits.
Also wears a full body suit and mask similar to the Cobra Commander.
When not wearing his usual outfits, he often dresses in various styles and costumes according to which fictitious character is influencing him.
Robert Roode
Theme Song
"Seizure Of Power" By Marilyn Manson
You might say he has a few screws loose, well that's probably putting it lightly. Raised in a foster home as a kid, Kyle never knew his real parents. Due to that and his living arrangements, he grew up with extreme resentment to anyone and everything around him. Getting involved in lots of fights early on, he eventually took up wrestling as a way to channel his aggression. With various mental disabilities that would normally hold him back or makes things hard for him, he was able to stay focused and completely submerge himself into his training. Quickly becoming one of the most talented youngsters at his school, Kyle started becoming really self absorbed. Due to various bumps and knocks that he sustained to his head, many feel this has worsened his "condition". In that sometimes he has a really hard time differentiating what is real, not real, or what is right or wrong. A bit of a basket case and hot head at times, what you see with Kyle isn't always what you get. He thoroughly enjoys picking his opponents apart and makes sure they know he enjoys it. Where he goes from here isn't really certain. Kyle himself might or might not even know.
"Sometimes...one's self can be one's own enemy. But I know myself better then anyone in this world possibly ever could. It's not me I would be worried about. IT'S ALL OF YOU! Everyone else is more messed up then I am. I'm not the one who makes the world a bad place, but I can certainly inspire everyone to be better whether they like it or not. I only want to be recognized for the truth..and that's just how good I actually am."
James Kyle Kwiatkowski was born on June 15 1989, in Saint Thomas outside of London Ontario Canada. Being of Polish decent, he was the second child and first son of wrestling veteran Edward "The Creeper" Kwiatkowski.
As a child, it was determined early on that young James was notably different from other children his age. Often teased and tormented, early on he was prone to violence and got in much trouble at school. With his father constantly away from home, and his mother abusing alcohol, James became not only distant from others but his family as well. What little interaction he did have with his father, was always bad as he too was a victim of alcohol as well as pain killers. In 1997 when James was eight, his mother died in a automobile accident related to her drinking. He was later moved into an orphanage where he lived out his teenage years.
No longer in contact with his father or older sister, aside from the obvious mental trauma, the seeds of pro wrestling had been planted in his mind. At the age of 12 James went out for his junior high school's wrestling team. Immediately taking to the sport, he began to block everything else out in his life, and focus everything completely on exercise, training, and wrestling.
By high school he was competing in various wrestling tournaments affiliated with the Ontario Amateur Wrestling Association(OAWA) to which he had various wins throughout his last three year in high school. James also competed in and won several tournaments in Calgary, Alberta. After graduating and turning 18, James temporarily moved to Calgary where joined former professional wrestler Larry Stern's wrestling academy. The school was a 12 month program, and James passed with flying colors. Stern claimed that he was one of the most promising students he had ever had the privilege to work with.
Soon after James took on the name(that he is now know by) Kyle Crosby, as he wanted to distance himself from his fathers name. He then wrestled quite a number of local shows with(then, the small time promotion) New Calgary Wrestling Association(NCWA).
Not long after that he traveled to the UK and wrestled in various promotions, this led to Kyle being contacted by Japan Pro United(JPU). Where he would take on the character and persona of "Black Skull". He worked in JPU for just over 10 months, becoming a one time junior JPU tag team champion, a two time junior JPU heavyweight champion, and also won the prestigious-annual JPU Young Stars Cup by defeating the popular and established Hotaka "The Griffin" Daiki.
Not long after this, Crosby was contacted by Jack Adams about working in CWA. Realizing the great opportunity before him, Kyle accepted the offer and relocated to Baltimore Maryland. Not long after that he made his debut on the 4/20/10 edition of High Voltage, where he was eliminated from a ten man battle royal. The rest is history.

IBM's revenue is widely distributed across the globe protecting it from economic downturns in single countries.
IBM wised up early to the commoditization of PCs and got out of the market before its competitors Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Dell (DELL), which will help IBM keep profits high in the long run in comparison to its competitors.
IBM has a firm establishment in key emerging markets which will pay off in the future as developing nations increase their demand for technology and services.
IBM's model is the anti-model. Whichever country the company is working in, it has a game plan exclusively catered to it. It encompasses not only the determination of the customer needs, but also the provision of every aspect of the required technology solutions – including recurring maintenance, updating and even financing.
And financing is crucial these days. IBM's long history in the world's markets has given the company a recognition and credibility abroad, helping to mitigate competitive threats from unproven newcomers.
Its presence in India will yield dividends as India's economy emerges from the global financial crisis.
IBM leaders have shrewdly increased the company's investments in the fastest growth areas of the world, increasing its unparalleled geographic diversification as it keeps emphasizing its higher-value businesses – especially software, highly profitable middleware and services.
At the beginning of 2009, 71% of IBM's nearly 400,000 employees are working overseas – a 65% increase from two years prior.
In fact, IBM incorporates the words "global" or "world" in nearly every sentence of the business strategy outlined in its annual earnings report of 2008.
"The Internet has enabled communication and collaboration across the world and brought with it a new computing model premised on continuous global connection. In that landscape, companies can distribute work and technology anywhere in the world," the report said.
It continues: "At the same time, the current economic crisis increases the pressure on both businesses and governments around the world to adapt…. Given these opportunities and economic challenges, IBM is working with its clients to develop new business designs and technical architectures that allow their businesses the flexibility required to compete in this new landscape."
IBM Boosts Profits with Business Overhaul
In addition to global diversification, IBM has also successfully employed a versatile and aggressive business model. Between 2000 and 2008, IBM acquired more than 100 companies and poured more than $50 billion into research and development.
In 2000, the distribution of IBM's business model was: Hardware (24%), software (25%), financing (10%) and services (40%).
But by the end of last year, the model had evolved to: Hardware (9%), software (40%), financing (9%) and services (42%).
The result was a 130% increase in annual earnings per share (EPS) on more than 22% annual revenue growth in that span.
For 2008 – by far one of the worst years for companies around the world – IBM posted an 18.4% increase in net income and 23.9% increase in earnings per share. And IBM blew away analysts' estimates with a fourth-quarter net income of $4.4 billion, or $3.38 a share – a 12% increase from 2007. Analysts had expected IBM to earn only $3.03 per share.
IMB will try to sell low-priced computer desktop applications to companies and governments in Africa, challenging Microsoft Corp. and other rivals in the region.
The applications include basic programs like word processing and email. They would be made available to customers via remote "cloud computing" facilities, meaning users could access the programs from the Web.
IBM is charging $10 per month per user, and can run on so-called netbook computers, or low-cost PCs priced around $300.
The IT industry in Africa is relatively small compared to Europe and the U.S., however, it is growing even in the recession. Analyst predicts it will rise 2.3% this year to $22.1 billion.
IBM aims to revolutionize the businesses in Africa. With emerging markets still developing despite recession, long IBM seems to be a good bet.
Marcus.tan.yi.wei 16:15, September 24, 2009 (PDT)
"IBM Markets Wares to Africa" Article from Wall Street Journal
Tech giant IBM (IBM) retained its full-year earnings outlook, saying that service contracts are grew in January. "Recognizing that it is still early in the quarter, the company expects double-digit growth in long term signings, and growth in total signings in first quarter 2009," IBM said in a regulatory filing, Reuters reported.
"We've upgraded IBM(IBM Quote - Cramer on IBM - Stock Picks) from hold to buy, driven by its impressive record of earnings per share growth, increase in net income, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins and relatively strong performance when compared with the S&P 500 during the past year. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook."
IBM Corp. will provide technology services to the British financial services company Friends Provident under a $295 million contract announced yesterday.
IBM has been assisting the Obama administration in formulating plans for both the "smart grid" and modernizing health care data maintenance, two key priorities, and stands to be a major beneficiary.

Five-year-old saves baby from dingo
Page Tools
Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service officers are hunting a dingo that strayed into a Fraser Island hotel room where a three-month-old baby was sleeping.
The animal, which has been identified and earmarked for destruction, was headed off by the baby's five-year-old sister, who stepped in front of it and cried for help.
The children's parents, David and Belinda Corke, of Brisbane, were alerted by the screams and chased the dingo from the room at the Kingfisher Bay resort on Fraser Island last Friday. "My husband heard her shouting 'dingo, dingo'," Mrs Corke said on ABC radio yesterday.
"We ran into the bedroom, expecting to find the dingo out on the road or nearby, but not in the hotel room.
"We had our three-month-old baby lying on the bed and Georgia was standing in front of her, very bravely.
"The dingo was about two foot away from the baby and, yeah, it was quite nasty."
Queensland Parks and Wildlife Great Sandy district manager Robin Allen said the sounds of children or the smell of food may have attracted the dingo.
"It didn't display any sign of aggression, it may well have just been inquisitive, but the potential for that to turn ugly was very high," he said.
A child was mauled to death by dingoes on the island three years ago but there are generally few problems with the animals.
The latest incident has reignited debate about dingo culling.

Cisneroses 'not giving up' on West Side
Updated 10:35 pm, Friday, October 11, 2013
SAN ANTONIO — Increased efforts to revitalize the West Side have begun with the first Cub Scout troop in the area in years and planned improvements to the neighborhood's landscape and economic horizon.
Through their nonprofit, American Sunrise, former Mayor Henry Cisneros and his wife, Mary Alice, a former City Council and school board member, have provided an after-school youth program and literacy education for children and adults as part of their mission.
"As we have delved into family issues, we've found other areas where we needed to work," said Henry Cisneros, who has kept his home in the Prospect Hill neighborhood, where he grew up on the West Side.
To help steer children away from crime and gangs, the couple have focused on youth character-building programs such as the Boy Scouts. They formed Cub Scout Pack 210 six years ago for boys 7 to 11 and hope to similarly start groups of Boy and Girl Scouts.
After watching years of decline in and around Prospect Hill, the Cisneroses said they've seen reinvestment in the area with development of new businesses and the planned West Side Multimodal Transit Center. Landmark designations by the city and reuse of historic structures also have helped preserve housing stock and commercial properties tied to the area's heritage, the couple said.
News Channel
Through their nonprofit, formed in 2001, the Cisneroses have bought about 15 properties and repaired about 15 houses in the area.
As a boy, Henry Cisneros attended Cub Scouts meetings in the neighborhood. But there had not been any active scouting programs in the area in recent years, he said. The Prospect Hill Cub Scout pack, with about 10 members, will be recognized at a news conference Saturday to announce a plan for an annual gala Oct. 26.
One highlight of the gala will be a "celebrity song slam," a voice competition featuring local figures, including San Antonio Express-News reporter and columnist Elaine Ayala. Cisneros said he and his wife also want to reaffirm "that we are not giving up on this community."

Allen & Overy, Linklaters and Ashurst are among eight firms to have won spots on the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ (BTMU) first ever EMEA panel.
The three firms, which have all been instructed for the bank in the past, will be joined by Berwin Leighton Paisner, Hogan Lovells, Norton Rose Fulbright, Slaughter and May, and White & Case, on the preferred list.
In addition, BTMU has set up a second transactional panel, which includes all eight of its preferred firms plus another raft of advisers, which are yet to be named by the bank.
The whole process has taken less than two months, pitching firms turned in their initial submissions to the bank at the end of September (27 September). The bank then performed an initial evaluation, calling back some firms to amplify their submissions in late October (29 October 2013).
A spokesperson for BTMU said: "The process itself has been a highly rewarding and extremely competitive and has resulted in the appointment of a preferred firms panel and a transactional panel."
She continued: "We are very pleased with the outcome of the tender process and would like to thank all those involved in the process for their hard work and cooperation."
A&O has picked up substantial instructions from BTMU in the past, advising the bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities International on the purchase of the Royal Bank of Scotland's £3bn project finance portfolio in 2011. More recently, it also advised BTMU on the largest ever acquisition in Asia to date by a Japanese bank – submitting a voluntary offer for major commercial Thai bank Ayudha, valued at $5.75bn.
In March, Ashurst was instructed by BTMU on the A$3bn relaunch of its Australian dollar transferable certificates of deposit programme and A$300m inaugural trade.
Linklaters also has a relationship with the bank thanks to advising on its $3bn refinancing of Abu Dhabi National Energy Co (TAQA).
BTMU increased its overseas lending by 35 per cent in the nine months to the end of 2011, before stating in April 2012 that it hoped to increase the amount of profit generated overseas from 28 per cent to 40 per cent within three years.
