Customer Favorites Mixed 4 Pack
Your selection includes the following collection of wines:
Burke Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Burke Family Reserve Cabernet is an enjoyable wine from the moment the cork is popped. Made in the classic style, this wine serves up blackberry, currant, fresh herbs, and a hint of cedar with the lush fruit guiding you along the way. This wine goes perfectly with foods with umami flavors like burgers with bacon and Gorgonzola cheese or mom's homemade meatloaf.
River's End Reserve Merlot
From two of the oldest vineyards along California's North Coast region where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean. The region known for ideal climate promotes slow, even maturing and great flavor development. A wonderful wine from the River's End winemakers with ripe berry fruit flavors and aromas with a nice touch of oak. An amazingly versatile choice for serving with grilled duck, turkey, chicken, braised lamb, pork or beef – and a nice partner for dishes featuring a rich tomato sauce.
Hayton Family Reserve Chardonnay
This wonderful Chardonnay is a limited production wine created as a tribute to one of California's pioneering vineyard families. It has a refreshing "say no to oak" style – bright and light with citrus, apple and tropical fruit aromas and flavors. A gentle acidity adds structure while allowing the delicate fruit flavors to shine. Versatile and food-friendly, it makes a good choice with seafood, poultry, or pasta dishes with butter-based sauces.
Spencer Family Sauvignon Blanc
Crisp flavors of grapefruit and green apple with notes of ripe fig are the most distinguishing characteristics this fruit-forward, award-winning selection. Produced from a vineyard established more than 100 years ago by descendants of European winemakers, its grapes provide a marvelous complexity and balance. The winemaker recommends serving this delicate treat with grilled or sautéed seafood in a butter or cream sauce. And, it brings out the best in veggie dishes like spinach and cheese-stuffed pasta shells.

Israeli and Palestinian leaders have agreed to new peace talks that start with meetings and a dinner involving President Obama on Sept. 1, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced today.
Before the dinner, Obama will meet separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Clinton said.
The two leaders begin formal negotiations in a joint meeting with Clinton the next day, Sept. 2.
"The president and I are encouraged by the leadership of Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas and fully share their commitment to the goal of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security," Clinton said.
Obama also plans to jump start the new negotiations by meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, King Abdullah II of Jordan, and Middle East negotiator Tony Blair.
Obama and his aides have been pushing for new Israeli-Palestinian talks since a previous round broke down in late 2008.
The new negotiations take place without preconditions, and have a one-year time frame.
"The enemies of peace will keep trying to defeat us and to derail these talks," Clinton said. "But I ask the parties to persevere, to keep moving forward even through difficult times, and to continue working to achieve a just and lasting peace in the region."
Blair, the former British prime minister, represents the Quartet, four governments involved in Middle East negotiations: The U.S., the United Nations, the European Union, and the Russian Federation.
The Quartet issued a statement on the new talks:
The representatives of the Quartet reaffirm their strong support for direct negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians to resolve all final status issues. The Quartet reaffirms its full commitment to its previous statements, including in Trieste on 26 June 2009, in New York on 24 September 2009, and its statement in Moscow on 19 March 2010 which provides that direct, bilateral negotiations that resolve all final status issues should "lead to a settlement, negotiated between the parties, that ends the occupation which began in 1967 and results in the emergence of an independent, democratic, and viable Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with Israel and its other neighbors."
The Quartet expresses its determination to support the parties throughout the negotiations, which can be completed within one year, and the implementation of an agreement. The Quartet again calls on both sides to observe calm and restraint, and to refrain from provocative actions and inflammatory rhetoric. Welcoming the result of the Arab Peace Initiative Committee in Cairo on July 29, the Quartet notes that success will require sustained regional and international support for the negotiations and the parallel process of Palestinian state-building and the pursuit of a just, lasting and comprehensive regional peace as envisaged in the Madrid terms of reference, Security Council resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
The Quartet Principals intend to meet with their colleagues from the Arab League in September in New York to review the situation. Accordingly, the Quartet calls on the Israelis and the Palestinians to join in launching direct negotiations on September 2 in Washington, D.C. to resolve all final status issues and fulfill the aspirations of both parties.

July 8th, 1998
Journal Entry #1
Hello. My name is Christopher Harley. I am writing this journal to educate you on strange occurrences happening around my Grandfather's house.
His name is Jack Harley. His house is 10 miles south of mine, and, I loved to visit his house when I was younger.
However, he died of a seizure attack on his kitchen floor, and his body wasn't found until 2 weeks after. After hearing this as soon as his body was found, I decided to move into his house and out of my old apartment.
This is only 1 week after I moved in, however. The last time I made contact with him was in April on the phone, he told me that things were moving by themselves, but then he laughed and said, "Only because I am a crazy old man. Old people see crazy things."
July 9th, 1998
Journal Entry #2
So far, I have seen nothing. The article I listed above was the only evidence I can collect about Jack.
However, it was very windy today. Strange occurrences usually don't happen when nature takes its course and paranormal activity doesn't. Jack's house is very isolated and old. It's made of stone and brick, and it's a lot like the houses you see in England. A small stream surrounds his house, along with an old willow tree.
Well, I guess that's it for now.
July 11th 1998
Journal Entry #3
Had to skip the last day, because again, nothing was happening. I'm writing this as I see things. Again, nothing. Although, I did hear a few piano keys being hit. But that's Jack's old synthesier that he got on his 76th birthday. It usually goes off by itself.
July 11th 1998
Journal Entry #4
Found an old laptop today. It ran on Windows 95. There was nothing on it, only 2 folders. One contained my school photos from when I was in high school. I guess he does really look at those. The second one contained three AVI files. One was Jack playing "Mary had a Little Lamb" on the Synthesier. One was completely black, and the audio was just tapping. The third one kind of caught my eye. It was him staring at the camera for a long period of time. In fact, it was 2 hours long.
July 11th, 1998
Journal Entry #5
Watching the video right now. Got to the 40 minute mark in the video. He is just staring there, breathing lightly and moving around slightly. He then, finally, got up, and when he did, he fell over. I was kind of confused on what was happening.
He was having a seizure.
I'm watching as his body and limbs uncontrollably moved all over the place. At the 45 minute mark, his mouth started to foam and, finally, he stopped.
He didn't move for the rest of the video.
July 15th. 1998
Journal Entry #6
I set up a camera today. What I saw a few days ago couldn't get out of my head. He actually recorded himself having that seizure, and dying... It was very strange. I wanted to record paranormal activity, meaning trying to find Jack's spirit, or any kind of other spirit found around this house.
I hear more piano playing, again, but this time, it was a series of distorted tunes. I came upstairs to the attic where the synthesier was. It stopped playing when I came up. Also, glass shatterings were found on the floor when I came back from the store.
July 16th, 1998
Journal Entry #7
I looked at the activity I captured on the camera. It was in my room. (or Jack's former room.) I watched and saw what I never wanted to see-
Things. Moving by themselves.
What Jack said was true. It was never a figment of his imagination. I was shaking rapidly as I was watching the footage. My slippers on the floor were thrown against the wall by themselves, the drawers were opened and a tie was pulled out and put under the bed, and the door was moving by itself. I turned off the camera and screamed, like a girl. I have to move out of here, but at the same time, I have to investigate to close the case.
July 17th, 1998
Journal Entry #8
Second day of video footage. Again, more paranormal activity. However, I could actually see, at about 2 seconds out of the whole video, a shadow, or, silhouette of the ghost. The piano woke me up, and this time, I was too afraid to go up and see. I knew something was haunting this house. So I decided to come up to the task and buy a Oujia Board.
July 17th, 1998
Journal Entry #9
I bought a Ouija Board from the Magic Store in the city nearby. I got my friend Jay to come in and help with it. He and I slowly said together, "Are you here?"
The pointer moved to yes.
Acting like a nervous wreck, I sputtered, "W-W What is your name?"
The pointer moved to J, A, C, K, paused, and then H, A, R, L, E, Y.
I knew it. The spirit was my grandpa.
July 20th, 1998
Journal Entry #10.
I don't know what to do anymore, I haven't made contact with my parents, and Jay never called me ever since the 17th. He calls me every day. I can't trust anyone.
But my results conclude that generations of people lived in this house, also killing themselves or dying themselves, and then haunting the house until someone moves in, and then it continues on and on and on.
So if I get this right, my own grandfather is haunting me, and I am going to kill myself.
August 4th, 1998
Journal Entry #11.
I have officially lost control of my life.
For now, this is it.
I'm done with everything.
Hello, this is Police Chief Hudson Rivers. We have currently been investigating a house who's owner, Jack Harley, passed away from a seizure. We have been investigating this house, and, to our surprise, we found a computer with 2 files on it. One contained pictures of a young man, in particular, in his teens.
The second file contained 2 regular videos, one consisting of piano playing, the other, tapping. The two other videos consisted of Jack Harley, or what seems to be Jack, staring at the screen and having a seizure. The other, however, was the same thing, although consisted of the boy from the pictures staring at the screen and hanging himself.
For now, this is the only evidence.
I will be staying here for a while to record and write a journal about further discoveries. But for now, this is it.

Skip to comments.7 US troops killed in latest Afghanistan fighting
Posted on 08/29/2010 2:08:01 AM PDT by Cardhu
KABUL, Afghanistan Seven U.S. troops have died in weekend attacks in Afghanistan's embattled southern and eastern regions, NATO said Sunday.
Two servicemen died in bombings Sunday in southern Afghanistan, while two others were killed in a bomb attack in the south on Saturday and three in fighting in the east the same day, NATO said. Their identities and other details were being withheld until relatives could be notified.
The latest deaths bring to 42 the number of American forces who have died this month in Afghanistan after July's high of 66. A total of 62 international forces have died in the country this month, including seven British troops.
Fighting is intensifying with the addition of 30,000 U.S. troops to bring the total number of international forces in Afghanistan to 120,000 100,000 of them American. Most of those new troops have been assigned to the southern insurgent strongholds of Helmand and Kandahar provinces where major battles are fought almost daily as part of a gathering drive to push out the Taliban.
NATO said eight insurgents were killed in joint Afghan-NATO operations Saturday night in the province of Paktiya, including a Taliban commander, Naman, accused of coordinating roadside bomb attacks and the movement of ammunition, supplies and fighters.
Automatic weapons, grenades, magazines and bomb-making material were found in buildings in Zormat district along the mountainous border with Pakistan. Afghan leaders frequently complain that Pakistan is doing to little to prevent cross-border incursions and shut down insurgent safe havens in its territory.
Just south in Khost province, U.S. and Afghan troops fought back simultaneous attacks Saturday by around 50 insurgents wearing American uniforms and suicide vests on a pair of bases, including one where seven CIA employees died in a suicide attack last year.

As a Nam Vet I am getting more angry, disgusted and demoralized over what I perceive is slowly turning into "Déjà vus all over again!"
I worry (and pray) for our Military but if they are going to be hamstrung with overly restrictive ROE's and NOT allowed to prevail (much like we were not) then perhaps it's time to consider an alternate strategy, to include, pulling most of them out and use Drones and Special Ops instead?
I think the real mistake was the Obama Administration's attempt to treat Afghanistan strategically the same way that the Bush Administration treated Iraq — ie. with a "Surge". Afghanistan is an undeveloped country. Limited road networks, etc. You put large forces in Afghanistan in an attempt to dominate that country (the way we did in Iraq) and you're asking for trouble. This is why the Bush/Cheyney/Rumsfeld Strategy of a "Light Footprint" made a lot of sense.
It was enough to deny Afghanistan to the Taliban. Our Spec Ops units could go wherever they wanted, whenever they wanted and essentially dominate the Taliban if they attempted to make a stand. Now our heavy forces are defending 'listening posts', fixed firebases and roads. Sound familiar?
We are essentially repeating the Russian experience there.
Obama simply had to prove he was a tough-guy. All he succeeded in proving is that he's an idiot.
sad to hear since I think its unnecessary
sad to hear.I think its unnecessary. praying for soldiers and families who paid the ultimate price.
Very sad. If Bush is Prez now, this will be the topic on Sunday shows. Now, it 's not even breaking news. Biased media will not even report this.
"7 US troops died this weekend in Afghanistan..
But in other news, the obama family savored the local produce during their vacation on Martha's Vineyard as the president hit the golf links with ever more democrat donors..."
The only caveat I would add is that it has already turned into deja vu all over again
ROE and pre ordained withdrawal dates sound quite familiar don't they?
as a Nam Vet I am getting more angry, disgusted and demoralized over what I perceive is slowly turning into Déjà vus all over again!
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
And yet, when 'we' predicted this farce happening BEFORE they tried to do what Russia 'gave up' trying, 'we' were told..oh no, this is a different situation.
The dummies just didn't realize (or admit) that the 'failure' we were talking about was akin to the BS that took part in VN.
And YES, OB supporters, it was Rumsfeld and Bush that injected us into 'Indian Country' but as pointed out earlier, at least with SF types we were able to 'mingle' a whole lot easier.
Turn our troops and weapons loose and the 'problem' is solved.
Look for those poor 'advisors' left in Iraq to come under some heavy fire. Actually, it has already started with the attacks on the 'local' military and police facilities. Once they 'soften' up their own, we will become sitting ducks.
Parking lots anyone?
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
Great quote.
Is that the motto of every madrassa iman?
I bow my head( after I type) head,and will say a long prayer something like this: for our soldiers, our vets, and for the family and friends of all killed by these terroists. And Lord please let every weapon headed for israel INCLUDING this Persian nuke facility implode upon the enemies of the true people of G!D, which is all Christians and Jews, as You even prayed O Lord for those you have, those You hold dearly in Your hands to keep them safe, and let the rest go swiftly to Gehenna.
Good way to weed them out!

Dr. Hines, I'd like to take a few minutes from your busy schedule to thank you and your entire staff for a completely pleasant and wonderful experience at Hines-Sight! Thanks to you and your skills my vision has never been clearer! No words can accurately describe how thrilled I am with my new vision and experience as your patient. All I can say is you and your staff have exceeded every expectation I've had. I'd also like to give a special thanks to Dr. Stanley Cushing and Geri for going above and beyond the call of duty! Dr. Cushing quickly identified the source of the vision problem in my left eye during my initial appointment. Geri was extremely informative and diligent during my pre-operation appointment with her. She was also very patient with me, answered all of my questions, and was extremely sensitive while responding to all of my concerns. I have already recommended Hines-Sight to several friends and family members!

text: Focusing on income doesn't mean buying the Vanguard High-Dividend Yield ( VYM) index fund paying a 3.2% dividend yield, or the S&P 500 yielding 1.96% as the core of your investment plan and letting it ride like you did in your 401(k). An over-allocation in this type of investment during the retirement phase will not provide the necessary cash flow many investors will need.More importantly it relies too much on the market for returns and not the cash flow from the companies. It's not good enough in today's investment climate. It's better for many Baby Boomers to select a diversified mix of individual companies across the globe as the core of their investment plan and low-cost funds as a minor complement to the plan. Think globally, and think higher yields, like GDF Suez ( ( SZE):Amex ADS), a French producer of natural gas and utilities, which is currently yielding about 8%. Regarding financial strength, there are strong companies that deliver income in diverse fields including nondiscretionary consumer products, energy, agriculture and health care, to name a few. For instance, GDF Suez has a current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) of about 1.0, which means that basically, it's unlevered. In the world of equities, where valuations are driven by logic and emotion, seemingly in equal measure, there's no such thing as safe, only safer. Under this logic, look at AT&T ( T), with a current ratio of 0.64. In a bad market, T will have more downside risk, and in an up market, will give more growth; along the way, GDF will pay double the dividend. Finally, regarding growth, I don't see there's much to be had above the rate of inflation. Boomers holding income-producing stocks in tax deferred accounts will -- for now -- avoid taxes and more or less keep the purchasing power of their investments in tact. Though I've referred to Baby Boomers a lot in this article, I'm not sure Gen X, Gen Y and Millenials wouldn't benefit from an income rather than growth orientation. After all, a 5%-to-8% dividend reinvested on a tax-deferred basis, with a tailwind of perhaps 2%-to-3% annual increases in value via inflation is growth. Make note, the strategy of investing for cash flow globally through individual stocks and bonds is a more expensive strategy, but for Baby Boomers, can be a net win. For a younger investor, you can pair the strategy with low-cost, high-growth index funds. Don't get me wrong, this is no panacea. There's risk. But I think the game has changed, and investors will need to assume more risk for the foreseeable future to get what they need from their investments. At the time of publication, the author was long VYM, SZE and T, although positions may change at any time. This article is commentary by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

A board of directors provides oversight to an organization, working together to promote its best interests. Joining a board of directors is a wonderful opportunity to give back to a cause you care about. It's also a great career move, as you're able to become a better leader, improve your professional development skills and network with powerful people.
Professional Development
Serving on a board of directors can help you to learn many valuable skills that can enhance your career. You'll likely serve on committees, speak at events, assist with fundraising efforts and more. You may also be asked to help out in areas you're not familiar with such as marketing, reporting and strategic planning, allowing you to diversify your skill set. Serving on a board of directors also looks great on your resume and may help you to gain a competitive edge on other candidates the next time you're interviewing for a new position.
Making a Difference
When you donate your time to work for a cause you're passionate about, you're able to help make a difference. Holding a leadership position, such as serving on a board of directors, ensures your voice is heard. Not only does it feel good to know you're working for a good cause, your generosity also benefits others.
By choosing to become a board member, you'll be able to network with many important people. Not only will working with your fellow board members provide an opportunity to connect with other successful, established professionals, you'll also have countless occasions to make other new contacts. You'll be able to meet some very influential people who may serve as valuable future connections. These contacts can help you to learn when organizations are hiring, write letters of recommendation and even introduce to you key members in companies where you'd like to work.
Improve Leadership Skills
Board members are authoritative figures in an organization. If you've never served in a leadership role, this is a great chance to develop management skills or enhance those you already have. Members of an organization look to board members to lead committees, host meetings and provide general oversight on matters important to the cause. Many of your fellow board members will likely be established business professionals, so you can use them as mentors.

Flex Builder 2.01 under Linux
UPDATE ON THE UPDATE: Flash Builder for Linux has been CANCELLED. There just isn't a big enough Linux market for Adobe to dedicate so much effort to supporting the third platform. Eclipse is written in Java, true, but it never really lived up to the promise of "write-once run-anywhere".
Adobe will no longer be investing in the development of a version of Adobe® Flex® Builder™ or Adobe Flash® Builder™ that runs on Linux operating systems. This decision is specific to Flash Builder and does not affect other Linux activities for other Adobe products. Linux developers will still be able to use the SDK from the line command to build Flex applications.
UPDATE! Official Flex Builder 3 for Linux!!
Check it out here!
The stuff below is left here for posterity's sake…but you probably want the link above, and forget everything below…
With a bit of tweaking, I've gotten Flex Builder 2.01 working under Linux. Everything seems to work, including debugging, except for the Design view.
Here is a brief outline:
- Download and extract Eclipse. I used Eclipse SDK 3.2.2 NOTE: I could not get it to work when eclipse was installed in /usr. Unless you can figure it out, do not install eclipse via your OS, simply download the .tgz and extract it to your home directory.
- Download and extract the free Flex 2.01 SDK.
- Download and install the Flex Charting Components (same link as above) Run the installer by
java -jar flex_charting_2_installer.jarand install it to the root of your Flex2 SDK directory.
- Download the Flash 9 Debugging player
- install the plugin into your browser by running plugin/debugger/install_flash_player_9_linux/flashplayer-installer.
- (as root) copy standalone/debugger/flashplayer to /usr/local/bin
- create a symlink for gflashplayer, (as root)
ln -s /usr/local/bin/flashplayer /usr/local/bin/gflashplayer
- Download the FlexBuilder 2.01 Plugin for Linux (mirror)
- Extract this to the root eclipse install folder. It will create files in the configuration, plugins, and features directories which are already part of eclipse.
- Open
eclipse/configuration/com.adobe.flexbuilder/flexbuilder2.xmland change the value of <sdkpath> to point to the root directory where you installed the Flex 2 SDK
- (OPTIONAL) Fix the annoying 'Incorrect flash player installed' popup every time you run your project:
- Download debugui.jar
- Overwrite the file eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.debug.ui_2.0.155577/debugui.jar with the downloaded one
- (OPTIONAL) Use the windows flash player with WINE instead of native linux flash player.
- Make sure you have WINE installed correctly
- Download the windows standalone projector debugger (see link at top for player downloads)
- Download this flashplayer script and place in your path, as well as rename the linux player so it doesn't interfere. You probably still need the symlink to gflashplayer as above.
- (OPTIONAL) If you already use eclipse, it's possible it wont see the new Flex plugins. Simply run the following command to get eclipse to search for your newly installed stuff:
- "./eclipse -clean"
That should be it! The only problem I've had is switching to design view messes everything up. Just stay in source view and you'll be fine. Also, whenever I try to debug, it says I don't have flash 9 installed, but I just press continue, and debugging works like normal (catching traces, breakpoint on crash, etc).
Thanks to this chinese guy's post for figuring it out. He has a few more posts on the issue ([1], [2]), but I didn't seem to need any of the info in them.
Somewhat related, this post talks about other ways of using Flex 2 / AS3 under linux.

I was scrolling down the feed on Facebook looking for inspiration for this blog post, when I saw a friend's link to this piece from Bookriot. I had one of those moments of instant recognition that happens when someone says something you weren't even sure you'd been thinking about but which, when articulated, seems to reveal buried fragments of ideas and convictions you've had bubbling beneath the surface all along.
Like the author of "Why I Need a Break from Books about Dead Girls," I too have been immersed in a lot of narratives that feature dead girls/women lately. Tana French's hypnotic In the Woods is about the murder of a young ballet dancer and the ensuing investigation. I just finished the second season of The Fall with its charismatic serial killer who targets young brunettes. A manuscript that kept me engaged all weekend featured an unreliable narrator and the violent deaths of several women and a 12-year-old girl.
Now, I read plenty of fiction and nonfiction where women are not murder victims, per se. My recent forays into pleasure reading include The Paying Guests and The Silent Wife in which male protagonists did not, shall we say, fare well. But, it does seem that dead girls/women are a recurring trope in all kinds of storytelling. Of course, the underlying psychological and cultural reasons for this are myriad and complex, but it makes me wonder what it is about killing off females that appeals to a writer's imagination. Why is it easier to kill the girls? Does it reflect a more misogynistic societal bent? Or is it simply a matter of storytelling convenience (is it easier, for instance, to plot the physical overpowering of a woman by a larger male assailant)?
All I know is that now that this idea has been unearthed for me, I'm going to be paying a lot more attention to the female body count in the books I read and the films/programs I watch.

Internet marketers and gurus have been telltale us for geezerhood that the funds is in the list, but what does that genuinely mean? Upon hunting the Internet for answers I have move to unearth quite a lot of creepy secrets to this cliché.
While the bulk will preach and inculcate something like buying leads and implementing plan of action methods to schedule grounds fantasies that seldom create sales, the victorious ones always seem to have an edge all over the amateurs. I deem this happening comes from unkind blank through with the capricious theories that masses of these Internet marketers can't reasonably be or run by.
I have numerous email accounts from various of the top email providers. My accounts are perpetually bombarded next to emails from thousands of Internet marketers. They go from all concluded the worldwide.

Don't get me false. I have intentionally invited myself to all of these email lists and widespread them complete individual email accounts for trailing purposes. I have a feeling it is to your advantage to my concern to linger updated and sophisticated of all the most recent product releases and employment. It serves my company resourcefully to cognize what is up in the e-business international.
What concerns me, however, is the denial of general standards various of these so named gurus urge. If I were to foundation a extricated account going on for warren electronics and present my subscribers the leeway to get spare newsletters from third entertainment publishers I would peak probable insight a super matter of prevailing interests relating my subscribers and my affiliates. This is majority because not everyone who's interested in language in the region of hole physical science is ONLY interested in linguistic process roughly speaking married physics. Many readers strength keeping to know more almost house furnishing or gardening, for first of its kind.
That enables me to contribute unspoilt leads finished an fusion enterprise. In spin around once my alliance releases their account they will be able to lob good leads my way. This creates metallic element conversation. What some marketers have former to distinguish is that this conversation will lone change the collection of leads, in this manner economizing on promise subscribers - not eventual buyers. This does not think the register location stab.Post ads:

In instruct to in safe hands your leads you will have need of to souvenir them beside unusual front-end offers. Keep in think about that these leads are but temporary you by in a surge of traffic that led them your way. They have not come up walk-to straight to your facade door and so they have no point to stop and prove interest in your firm unless you're offering them something that the other guys can't get.
Think active it. Say you happened to discovery yourself subscribing to a specific e-zine that captured your zest. That e-zine later sent you an submit from a promoter that allows you to offer to their record. You call on the sponsor's website and breakthrough that, spell the present is appealing, you single out to hold over the subscription for a subsequent clip. That subsequent time is probable to never come in in circles. Do you know why?
The reply is undemanding. You contain the picking of subscribing at any specified example because you know that you will increase the self benefits as a protagonist of two years your elevated or two old age your lower-ranking - thoughtless of once you tender. Leads that are generated for you are exceedingly different from leads that you generate yourself. You should ne'er underestimate, or finished estimate, the weight of opt-in lists. Meaning, you can neither swear full on your own lists, nor on those of others. List joint is a lot like lane grounds. You essential cram to increase on aggregation and not overcrowding.
Your biggest lesson from this is study to immoderation your leads otherwise. As they come through to you in divergent ways - from polar sources - they should be seen as several selling transmission all-together.

Speech and Drama
A new art of speech formation has been developed to give the spoken word a living, spiritual resonance. Speech artists seek to release into the outpouring stream of the breath the inherent movements and gestures of the consonants and vowels.
In this way they can reveal the working of the poetic imagination as it takes hold of the very substance of language, creating from it a world of sound, image and movement beyond the prosaic meaning of words.
The actor also, by uniting in this way with the essence of the word, can find new ways of revealing on the stage the inner world of the human soul and spirit.

These areas have been urban since the Middle Ages, when bishops and royal courtiers built mansions with boat landings on the banks of the Thames between the City of London and the Palace of Westminster — then two separate settlements.
Apart from rebuilt Somerset House, the palaces have long since perished. Aristocrats departed for more fashionable Mayfair and the district became known for its lively coffee houses, rowdy taverns and cheap women.
In the 19th century, along with slum clearance and road improvements, much of Strand was rebuilt. A revamp of this major stretch of central London has long been overdue, but now the Northbank initiative — a rebranding exercise that aims to create a rival to the now-vibrant South Bank in terms of inward investment, spending and visitor numbers — is giving it a facelift by upgrading 40 public spaces.

Ruth Duston, chief executive of the Northbank Business Improvement District, says Strand will again be worthy of the ceremonial route it once was.
"The area combines all the elements that make London a great global city, yet the public realm has let it down. Collectively, the changes will be the most significant in the area for more than a century," she adds.
Improvements will include a new riverside promenade; a decluttering of key areas such as Charing Cross station forecourt; improving historic lanes, and introducing lighting schemes to help celebrate the architecture.
Master plan
Built in 1626 by Inigo Jones as an extension to the Duke of Buckingham's riverside mansion, but now marooned 150 yards from the Thames, York Watergate will be restored.
Spearheaded by Westminster council and Transport for London, the master plan also gets rid of Aldwych gyratory, a traffic swirl hostile to pedestrians. New infrastructure projects include the Garden Bridge across the Thames and the Cycle Superhighway along Victoria Embankment.
Focus on Luxury
A concrete slab of Sixties offices has been bulldozed to make way for a two-acre development of 206 apartments set around a private garden square. Called 190 Strand, it is the first purpose-built housing scheme in the district for more than 100 years.
As well as underground parking and a grand entrance lobby staffed by a concierge, there are basement storage rooms plus a package of amenities from a spa to private cinema and virtual golf.
Prices from £1,465,000 and completion is in 2017. Call St Edward on 020 3051 1022.
This development is part of an auspicious streetscape that includes St Clement Danes Church, former BBC World Service headquarters Bush House, the Australian and Indian high commissions, and Marconi House, from which the world's first television programmes were broadcast. Marconi House has already been split into 79 flats. Resales from £2.5 million. Call Life Residential on 020 3318 6960.
The Adelphi conservation area, behind The Savoy hotel, is a hidden residential address. Nineteen Buckingham Street has been split into 11 stylish flats with lacquered cabinetry and leatherwork by David Linley, the Queen's nephew. Prices from £2.75 million. Call Frank Harris on 020 3641 5379
The Charles, 16 flats above a bank at street level, with two-bedroom apartments costing from £1.5 million, is being sold by CBRE (020 7420 3050).
There is more to this area than sweeping landmark architecture. Part of its charm is to do with small and intimate conservation pockets where the medieval street pattern survives, especially by the ancient Inns of Court.
Aldwych Chambers sits in a cul-de-sac with an arched entrance to the Inner Temple enclave of barristers' chambers and gardens, and has "secret" steps down to the Embankment. This scheme of 20 elegant flats has a new brick front in keeping with surrounding buildings. Prices start at £895,000 and go up to £4,975,000 for a four-bedroom penthouse. Call CBRE on 020 7420 3050.
The Tavistock, next to The Waldorf Hilton hotel, is the redevelopment of an Edwardian office building into four luxury apartments, each with a lobby with direct lift access from the grand entrance. Period architecture has been retained and mixed with imaginative modern interior design, such as a full-height rectangular-grid Crittall metal window separating the open-plan living area and hallway.
A 2,300sq ft duplex penthouse has twin terraces secluded behind the building's original Dutch gable façade. Prices from £3.5 million. Call CBRE on 020 7420 3050.
Listed Bedford House dates from 1870. Built in the Queen Anne style, it was once an acting academy and has now been converted into five apartments, including a triplex penthouse with a roof terrace and sun room. Prices from £1.1 million. Call Douglas & Gordon on 020 7036 4000.
The next wave of homes is likely to be east of Aldwych, where law and accountancy firms have displaced the remnants of the old newspaper industry around Fleet Street, and there is resurgent demand for stylish flats.
This patch is a little cheaper, but perhaps not for much longer. City of London, within whose jurisdiction it falls, has an action plan for public realm and other improvements likely to make the neighbourhood more coveted.

text: 19 June 2000 Ripley's appetite Food - Bee Wilson wonders at the shockingly self-indulgent diet of a skinny murderer Sign up for our weekly email * It is a truism that watching the film of a book destroys the way you imagine the original characters. I had this experience again watching the recent film of The Talented Mr Ripley. Now, when I read Patricia Highsmith's Ripley novels, it's hard to get the image of Matt Damon off the page, even though he was all wrong in the lead role. Damon's main characteristic as Ripley was his skinniness. To make himself look scrawny and outsider-like enough to play a murderer, Damon lost 20lb. He ran five miles a day. His co-star Gwyneth Paltrow told the press how brave Damon was, dining on steamed chicken breasts while the rest of the cast "gorged themselves" on wonderful pasta on location. But Highsmith's anti-hero isn't really like that. Reading the books, you never doubt that he's thin, but thin in the feckless style that clever young men sometimes have, not thin in a steamed-chicken-breast kind of way. If Damon had wanted to get Ripley-thin, he should have ditched the nutritionists and adhered to a careful diet of Gauloises, too many cups of cafe creme, and an indulgent but never gluttonous regimen of classic cuisine bourgeoise. The real Mr Ripley, if one can talk in such terms about a fictional character, is a very talented gastronome. Ripley's path to murder begins with "a gourmet's dinner" chez Mr and Mrs Greenleaf in New York. Over canapes, celeri remoulade and "a whole cold chicken in aspic", Mr Greenleaf puts the proposal to Tom Ripley to go to Mongibello in Italy and retrieve his rebellious son Dickie. In Naples, Ripley suffers a distressing meal of miniature octopuses, but soon arrives in Mongibello, where Dickie and his annoying girlfriend Marge are living the good life Ripley yearns for: martinis on the terrace, spaghetti and salad on the table, artichokes on the hob, roast chicken in the oven and Picassos on the walls. After he murders Dickie and takes over his money, he can live it for himself. Twisting and turning to elude the police, talented Tom breakfasts on sweet rolls and cafe latte and goes to the kind of party where butlers serve "pates en croute, sliced turkey, and petits fours, and quantities of champagne". In Paris, where he eats ham sandwiches on "long, crusty bread", Tom enjoys his new identity. "Wonderful to sit in a famous cafe, and to think of tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow being Dickie Greenleaf!" His fine tastes almost betray him. Marge is suspicious about Dickie's disappearance, so, to reassure her, Tom gives her lunch at his apartment in Rome. But his hospitality is out of keeping with his supposed poverty. "Tom regretted very much that the main dish was cold roast beef, a fabulously expensive item on the Italian market." Luckily, Marge, the kind of "good egg" who likes Christmas turkey "with marrons and giblet gravy", is too stupid to notice. In the later Ripley books, Tom has no such worries. He uses Dickie's money to settle into a respectably affluent lifestyle at his house in the French village of Villeperce, with a charming wife, Heloise, and assiduous housekeeper, Mme Annette. Ripley enjoys satisfying little chats with Mme Annette about the tournedos with sauce Bearnaise or mousse au chocolat she will cook for dinner, or whether she can get him "soles" for lunch. The more murders Ripley commits, the more comfortable his diet becomes. Not that he is unaffected by killing. After bumping off an American businessman in his cellar, he asks Mme Annette to cook some calves' liver. "The butcher at the moment has beautiful gigot!" she replied. "Tom was not in the mood for anything with a bone in it, somehow. 'If it is not too much trouble, I think I prefer calves' liver.'" It is Ripley's casual self- indulgence, rather than his skinniness, that is so shocking.

I'm in charge of the food for a neighborhood party . It's all seniors, 100 people and we're having a general sports theme. And oh yeah, we can't charge more than $ 8 per person and that has to include decorations, soft drinks (it's BYOB) and the food. We usually do "finger food", but, trust me, these people eat and it's more than chips and dips. last year we did Chinese New Year and had fried rice, egg rolls, etc.
Suggestions? Mini-Pigs in blankets, popcorn, maybe big pretzels?. Any way to do nachos for a group? What for dessert? (These people love dessert).

We just got back from our third stay at Hotel 17. We always stay here when in NYC because of the very affordable price, great location and cool vibe of the place.
It has a very "old New York" vibe, and the hotel staff is friendly.
The hotel has a cool history, Woody Allen filmed Manhattan Murder Mystery there, and Madonna has shot photos too.
Rooms are clean, beds comfy.
Shared bathrooms, but that is not a problem. They are always clean, and never occupied.
Very close to downtown and Union Square.
All in all, great place to sleep - keep in mind that no one comes to New York City to sleep and stay in their hotel room the whole time!
We will stay here also in the future for sure!

Expansion, highly dependent on Exploration in Starspan, boils down to the notion of making your spacefaring empire bigger through colonization or conquest.
There are benefits and costs to expansion; a bigger empire has more resources, but managing more people, resources and colonies becomes more and more difficult. As empires expand, problems of corruption grow and they run the risk of upstart factions taking control over parts if control is not carefully maintained.
The first and seemingly easiest method of expansion is colonization. Colonization can take the form of creating a new colony on an already habitable planet, establishing a sheltered colony on a hostile planet or minor planet, or building a new habitable space station.
There are several types of colonies, each with a different purpose. Each has some requirements to plan and launch that, at the beginning of the game, can be thought of being on par with a great project. Civil engineers and scientists are needed to determine what the target site's needs will be to establish the colony ... will the soil support seed to grow food? How seismically active is the environment if it is on ground (a planet or minor planet) -- will buildings need to be extra tough? If its in an inhospitable environment, what will the domes have to contend with ... radiation? heat? All these elements need to be analyzed by scientists who conduct survey missions and planned for by the civil engineers. What specialists will the colony need? Government officials? Construction workers to help expand? Agricultural experts? They don't just pop out of the population magically, you need to produce these types of specialists through education and training from the world you will launch the colony expedition from.
You may find, at times, there are no good places to expand, and a rival civilization either has a colony you need to meet the needs of your empire, or they are weak (or have angered you sufficiently) that you simply wish to deny them that resource. As some politicians of late have discovered, Conquest is not a simple matter of smiting the enemy military; you will need a way of controlling the conquered population by either assimilating them into your nation's culture or finding a way to ... well ... dispose of them. Do the inhabitants of the world you plan to conquer even breathe the same air or eat the same food? You can have more than one species in your empire, but each needs their own accomodations depending on their life support requirements. You need people to take over and manage the conquered world, and it would be useful to have engineers who specialize in reverse engineering alien technology to try and decipher all the alien technology you can plunder from the world. Again, this does not magically happen unlike other games.

sgt_barnes replied to Sleicreider's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI put VerySleepy ( http://www.codersnotes.com/sleepy/ ) to good use on Windows, though I doubt that is what you are looking for. YMMV.
sgt_barnes replied to MyLastGamble's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingOh! I never realized that! This "OpenGL ES" thingy that I see on 90+% of all mobile phones and tablets is actually based on D3D and not OpenGL, then? ;-) *SCNR*
sgt_barnes replied to Rev6Studios's topic in 2D and 3D ArtThere was a short article in Edge #264 by a small team from poland, "The Astronatuts", which use PhotoScan to model a huge world for their game: http://www.theastronauts.com/ Maybe that helps you a little. I sadly enough never extracted model data with PhotoScan, the colored point cloud has always been good enough for my purposes...
sgt_barnes replied to Rev6Studios's topic in 2D and 3D ArtWhat do you mean with "How accurate can it get?" Behind PhotoScan stands a surveyor-grade photogrammetry solution. It will easily generate a point cloud with one point per pixel, with milimeter accuracy. You will probably need some experience to make optimal photos to produce optimal results. However, to make really good models from it, manual work will still be required. They offer a demo license and sample data, so just go ahead and play with it! ;-)
sgt_barnes replied to manasij7479's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingJust for clarification: Back face culling and depth buffer are two completely independent features of OpenGL. I suspect that the two get in the way of each other in your code. Try to disable back face culling and rely solely on the depth buffer. Is it getting better or worse?
sgt_barnes replied to Vincent_M's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingWhat exactly is slow when you use GLUT? I'm just curious because all GLUT does (or should do) is handling the window system stuff in a platform-independent manner. As long as you stay clear of the menu/widget/button "GUI" part and the font rendering, your games should run fine (and still be portable). If that part was what you where looking for, however, you're now screwed, of course. But IMHO, you should definitely try to create your own GUI toolkit (which can be tightly coupled to your render code, and it's fun!), or try to find some lightweight OpenGL GUI library on the net. As for Qt and GTK: Both are very powerfull and versatile, and Qt would certainly be my first choice for a tool or an application. But I think these libraries are more than a little bit over the top for a game...
sgt_barnes replied to MARS_999's topic in General and Gameplay Programming"FSM"="Flying Spaghetti Monster", right?
sgt_barnes replied to uglybdavis's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingNo, it extracts the planes in world coordinates. That's why the point check in the tutorial is so simple. The planes in eye coordinates are actually quite simple, since they are the faces of the unit cube.
sgt_barnes replied to Chris_F's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingCode looks good to me. Did you try to reproduce it on another platform? Preferably with a GPU from another vendor, or with an entirely different operating system. If you do not have one of those options readily available, you could also write a minimal C program that also shows the same behavior and ask people to compile and run it on their machines. To make it easier for them (and maximizing your chance of success) you should use a platform-independent API like freeglut/GLEW that many people have installed. Before the driver guys even consider helping you they will want that anyway...
sgt_barnes replied to kyewong's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingIn photogrammetry, this is a pretty standard problem, so we can consider it solved. ;-) But as I already said: It is not simple. You can probably get away with a reasonably good approximation by doing the following: 1) Solve the equation system for each pair of projected and unprojected points. This yields a transformation matrix for each pair. 2) Choose a good one from these by projecting all the points with each matrix and pick the one that produces the least error.
sgt_barnes replied to kyewong's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingYes, that's possible in principle, but it's not simple. Basically you just solve the resulting system of linear equations and you are done. What makes this hard is that the system may be massively over-determined.This means, that some equations contradict each other, so you have to find a way of resolving those contradictions. Google for suitable algorithms, if unsure.
sgt_barnes replied to Rajveer's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingWoha, difficult topic! ;-) I talked to a PNY representative at CeBIT trade fair once, asking the same question. He took the demo CD I brought him, stuffed it in a Computer with two displays attached to two Quadro cards, started our single-context program and moved it to the other display. It worked flawlessly. That said, I really think that this works only - if it works at all - with cards from the same vendor. [Edit: typos]
sgt_barnes replied to Rajveer's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingYou should use one shared context for multiple windows if your windows share objects (e.g. multiple views of the same scene), and use a per-window context if they are completely independant (e.g. one window with a 3D model viewer and another one showing video playback). Or in other words: All the resources you load into GL (textures, vertex arrays, shaders, and whatnot) are bound to a context, so if you want to use them in more than one window, you have to share the context between them.
sgt_barnes replied to Phil123's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThere is nothing wrong with learning OpenGL from a book, as long as you frequently fire up your development environment to do your own experiments, IMHO. Based on my own, personal experience, I would suggest the "OpenGL SuperBible", which is more of a "learning book" than a "reference book". I used the 5th edition when I needed to move from the old-day fixed function pipeline to modern, more GPU-friendly OpenGL. I already had some background knowledge on 3D math, however, so your mileage may vary... Another book that looks very promising is the brand new 8th edition of the "OpenGL Programming Guide", which arrived at my place just yesterday. I haven't looked too deep into it yet, but it, too, is rather a tutorial rather than a reference, so you might give it a try, also!
sgt_barnes replied to Endemoniada's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI'm pretty sure you just ran into the "Link-time Code Generation" feature of VS2012. As the name suggests, code generation is done during linking the whole program, not while compiling each source file. This is done to be able to optimize across object file boundaries, which MS calls "Whole Program Optimization". Unfortunately, this considerably slows down builds. Since it is an optimization technique, it should be turned off for debug builds. So to verify that this is in fact the problem, check if the debug build has the same problem. If not, it is probably the Link-time Code Generation. To turn it off, right-click your project in Solution Explorer, and select "Properties". Then, go to "Configuration Properties", "Linker", "Optimization". Change the "Link Time Code Generation" property to "Default". Make sure that you do this for all the libraries in your solution! That should speed up your build again, hopefully...

The Shahi Nan Kebab takeaway in Uxbridge Road, Shepherd's Bush, remains shut more than a fortnight after the first cases were reported.
A total of 31 of the 68 casualties - aged from seven to 64 - have been confirmed as having potentially deadly salmonella, 20 of whom had to be treated in hospital. The North West London Health Protection Unit and Hammersmith and Fulham Council are investigating.
It is the biggest outbreak of salmonella in the capital since 2005 when a kebab shop in Newham was closed.
