The Stranger - Billy Joel
I can't say for sure, but The Stranger is probably my second favorite Billy Joel Album. It's only 9 tracks, but probably features more radio hits than any of his other albums. This height probably comes at track six, with "Only the Good Die Young."

Do we really care about the announcement of next Jan. 1's Winter Classic? First of all, pretty much everybody is saying it's going to be in Pitt's Heinz Field, with the NHL's darlings playing against each other?
We know it isn't the new Yankee Stadium, and thankfully (hopefully) the NHL didn't try to put it in Citi Field (which might be a better ballpark overall, but just doesn't have the jam of the new Yankee Stadium, much less the old one). The new Stadium has football in January, so they can't build the rink.
And this idea of having a separate one in Canada, that works for me. Canadian teams started this whole thing — Edmonton and Montreal — and their fans deserve it. But it won't do squat in terms of ratings here in the U.S. without two U.S. markets involved. So have two. Knock yourselves out.
Here's some video from Cup finals media day yesterday. From my new favorite guy. Hint: Monster. And here's a link to today's Rangers' 20 Prospects in 20 days series. It's Ryan Bourque today.
Now onto the Boneheads Stanley Cup Finals Extravaganza Contest (and picnic) No. 2.
BSCFEC(ap) No. 1 closes at the puck drop tomorrow night.
BSCFEC(ap) No. 2 is going to be more complicated to execute, but much easier to judge.
This is going to be kind of like a draft. I will put up a post this evening, which will begin the contest (DO NOT BEGIN SUBMITTING YOUR SELECTION BEFORE I PUT UP THE POST THAT SAYS "IT'S GO TIME!" )
Here's how it works. The winner of John Halligan's book "100 Ranger Greats" will be the person who correctly picks the player who scores the Cup-winning goal. That means, in the deciding game, if the final score is 3-2 or 5-2 or 10-2, the third goal for the winning team is the Cup-winner.
Here's how we're going to do it, so you have to be on your toes to play.
Once I put up the "It's Go Time!" post, you get one pick of a player from either team (it's Chicago and Philly, for those who aren't paying attention). Once a player is picked, he's gone. In other words, if you want Dustin Byfuglien, you'd better get in early. And check to see if he's been picked before you pick him.
ONE PICK PER BONEHEAD. That's it. I will check IPs, etc. So we could have a total of 38 or 40 or so names in the pool. The game is closed when all the skaters on both teams have been picked.
Don't be afraid to pick the obscure fourth-line guys, or the goons or the defensemen. Those guys score goals in the playoffs.
Got it? Any questions before we get going tonight?

Eggplants get a bit of a hard time. True, they're not particularly forgiving - an undercooked eggplant has about as much charm as a raw potato - but handled well, they are incredibly versatile and one of my favourite vegetables.
Grilled eggplant with tahini and yoghurt dressing, pomegranate, chilli and mint
This eggplant salad is great with barbecued meat or poultry, especially if there's a nice char on the flesh. It marries well with marinades or dressings with Middle Eastern flavours.
4 large eggplants
Salt flakes
Extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp tahini
300g plain yoghurt
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 bunch mint, picked
1 green chilli, sliced into rings
1 red chilli, sliced into rings
1/2 fresh pomegranate
1. Preheat a grill pan or barbecue.
2. Cut the eggplant into 1 1/2-2cm-thick slices lengthways, season and brush with oil. Grill for a few minutes on each side then lie flat to cool. The eggplant should be just cooked but still holding its shape.
3. In a mortar and pestle, grind the cumin seeds coarsely. Add two good pinches of salt and briefly grind together. Grate the garlic on a Microplane and add to the cumin. Add the tahini, yoghurt and lemon juice, mix well.
4. Lie the eggplant on a serving dish. Spoon the dressing over, then scatter over the mint, chillies and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and serve.
Serves 6-8
Drink Hefeweizen wheat beer.
Melanzane sotto aceto with banana peppers, basil and chilli
My preserved eggplant is a great pantry staple, perfect with cured meats and hard cheese, and it really dresses up an antipasto. I also love it in a simple sandwich with shavings of grana padano.
8 medium eggplants
200g salt flakes
600ml-800ml white wine vinegar
4 cloves garlic, finely sliced
4 banana peppers, seeds removed, sliced finely
20 grinds pepper
1 1/2 tsp ground cloves
5 sprigs basil, leaves picked
3 red chillies, such as milder long red chillies, split (not seeded)
Equal amounts vegetable and extra virgin olive oil to top jars (perhaps 500ml-800ml)
1. Peel the eggplants using a vegetable peeler and slice lengthways into 1cm slices. Cut the slices into strips about 1cm wide. Place into a bowl and toss well with the salt. Place in a colander, cover with a plate and weigh down evenly overnight - the eggplant will lose lots of water, so make sure the colander has somewhere to drain to.
2. Rinse the eggplant in cold water, then squeeze well to extract the moisture. Place into a bowl and cover with white wine vinegar. Cover with a plate to keep the eggplant submerged and again leave overnight.
3. Squeeze out the excess vinegar vigorously with your hands until the eggplant is quite compressed, place into a bowl with the garlic, banana peppers, pepper, ground cloves and basil. Toss well.
4. Put the eggplant mix into sterilised preserving jars, pressing it down so it is quite compact, adding a chilli to each jar. Top with the blended oil, gently tapping the jars as you add the oil to remove any air pockets. Seal.
5. Store in a cool, dark pantry space or cupboard for two weeks before using. Keep in the fridge once opened.
Makes about 3 x 400g jars.
Tip Blending vegetable oil with olive oil stops it solidifying once refrigerated.
Drink Manzanilla sherry or a ''salty'' Italian white such as vermentino or carricante.
Yellow miso eggplant with tofu dressing, fried ginger and garlic
Cooking the eggplant this way steams the flesh in the skin, giving a really moist and delicate result that helps to soak up the flavours from the dressing. This dish goes well with steamed Asian greens and rice, and it's great with fried chicken.
4 medium-sized eggplants
3 tsp dashi powder
1 1/2 tbsp yellow miso paste
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp light soy sauce
4 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, finely sliced
10cm fresh ginger, finely diced
300g silken tofu
3 spring onions, sliced in rounds
1. Preheat the oven to 220C, fan forced.
2. Place the eggplants on a baking tray and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Peel off the skin, cut the flesh into one-centimetre strips and arrange in a serving dish.
3. In a jug, add 100 millilitres of water, the dashi, yellow miso paste, sesame oil, soy and half the sunflower oil. Process with a stick blender. Pour a third of this over the eggplant strips.
4. In a small pot, not heated, add the garlic, ginger and remaining sunflower oil, then bring to medium heat. Fry for three to four minutes until just golden and fragrant, but take care - too brown and the garlic will be bitter. Drain on a paper towel.
5. Dice half the tofu and distribute it over the eggplant. Add the remaining tofu to the remaining dressing and blitz with the stick blender until frothy. Pour over the eggplant. Sprinkle over the spring onion and the crispy ginger and garlic.
Serves 6-8
Tip To sterilise jars, immerse in boiling water for five minutes, then dry in a warm oven.
Drink Cold sake.

A Friend or FoeRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I eat, I breathe, I move so much
I leave you tender to the touch.
Within me lies help or harm for you
But one rarely predicts what I will do.
I move around, yet have no legs
and multiply, but lay no eggs.
My colors change as I get intense
But I keep no form, in my defense.
What am I?
HintI am neither solid nor liquid. Look to the sun for an example of my power.
What Next?
See another brain teaser just like this one...

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - A crash on Interstate 12 in Slidell, La., claimed the life of a teen from The Woodlands and severely injured her husband.
Kristen Ambriz, 19, was driving a Mazda when the car was rear-ended. Ambriz was killed instantly. Her passenger was Jesse Stoltman of Magnolia. Stoltman survived but suffered brain trauma.
"I didn't believe it. I still don't. I haven't fully grasped what is going on yet. I don't know I ever will," friend Kayla Asnes said.
Ambriz just married her high school sweetheart, Stoltman, on the beach in Pensacola, Fla., where he is stationed in the US Navy.
"Since he's been living in Florida, one of the things they did every night was fall asleep on Skype together. They have the greatest love. I was the one witness that got to see them get married. My name is on the certificate. I cannot be more thankful I got to be there for that," said Asnes.
The newlyweds came home for a short trip and were headed back to Florida to finalize Ambriz's move.
Ambriz's family confirmed Stotlman is alert and talking, but at this point he doesn't know his wife of three weeks is gone.
"She was his world. I still don't know how he's going to take it. I'm just going to tell him I love him and everything is going to be OK," friend Riley Tate said.
Kevin Greenwood of Ormond Beach, Fla., is charged with negligent homicide, careless operation and negligent injury.
According to Louisiana State Police, Greenwood's breath sample showed alcohol in his system, but it was not over the legal limit.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Serving Size: 90
Prep Time:

With the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter, it's no surprise these are my family's favorite cookies. Because of their ease of preparation, I'm able to make them at a moment's notice. —Faith Jensen, Meridian, Idaho
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and peanut butter cups.
- Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
Yield: 7-1/2 dozen.
Editor's Note: Reduced-fat peanut butter is not recommended for this recipe.

The Christmas holiday often feels like a sugar rush to me; it's very exciting while it's happening, but after the fact I feel drained and tired. The Portland weather has been keen to remind us that it's winter and we've had one gray soggy day followed by another. When the weather gets like this, a hearty pot of soup is top of mind for dinner.
When we began developing our two new soup mixes, this soup was one of my favorites. It has a lovely spiciness to it and is thoroughly warming. There are two options here- one with chicken and one without. Both are delicious and easy-to-prepare.
- 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 Chicken Breasts, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp Garam Masala
- 1 tsp Curry Powder
- 8 cups Chicken Stock
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 1/2 pkg (1 3/4 cup) Whole Grains & Beans Soup Mix
Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat; add half the chicken pieces and brown on all sides for about 6 minutes. Continue with the remaining chicken pieces. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for one more minute. Add garam masala and curry powder; sauce for 30 seconds to a minute until they are aromatic but not burning. Carefully pour in stock and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any brown bits. Add bay leaves. Add soup mix and stir. Bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Sir occasionally to prevent sticking. Add more stock or water if beans absorb too much liquid.
Vegetarian option: Omit the chicken breasts and chicken stock and use vegetable broth instead. Add an assortment of vegetables to your taste such as 2 cups sweet potatoes, 1 cup roasted corn, 1 cup winter squash or 1 cup cauliflower. Watch throughout cooking process and add water as needed.
Makes 10 servings.

Troops pressed toward Baghdad with new wariness on Monday, as militiamen loyal to Saddam Hussein proved they were not a beaten force. Iraq claimed to have shot down two U.S. helicopters and taken two pilots prisoner, a day after more than 20 Americans were killed or captured.
Saddam, in an appearance that seemed calculated to show he was at the helm, sought to rally his people Monday with a televised speech. Minutes later, Iraqi television showed images of what appeared to be a downed U.S. Apache attack helicopter sitting largely undamaged in a grassy field.
A small number of peasants shot down two Apaches, Iraqs information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf said. Perhaps we will show pictures of the pilots.
The Pentagon confirmed that one helicopter was missing but offered no information about pilots. U.S. Central Command, which oversees the war in Iraq, declined comment on the footage. A military spokesman said officials were analyzing the images.
The Iraqi leader appeared relaxed and healthy on Monday strikingly different from the way he looked in the speech aired Thursday, the day the air assault began. In full military dress, Saddam assured Iraqis victory will be ours soon, and specifically mentioned the defiant resistance of Iraqi forces in Umm Qasr, the strategic southern port that the U.S.-British coalition has struggled to hold since Saturday.
The reference seemed designed to allay any suspicion that the address had been video taped earlier, or that Saddam had been wounded or killed last week.

New York Giants cornerback Corey Webster has taken a tremendous amount of criticism this season. He had about as bad of a seven-game stretch to start 2012 as any cornerback in the NFL. Webster has given up four touchdowns this season and quarterbacks have completed over 60 percent of passes thrown in his direction. Although Webster has played better as of late, he's deserved every bit of the criticism that has come his way so far this season. However, he was not responsible for Cincinnati Bengals' wide receiver AJ Green's 56-yard touchdown.
Although it appeared that Webster allowed Green to run straight past him and into the end zone, Giants secondary coach Peter Guinta said Webster was not at fault on the play.
"Corey did what he was supposed to do," Guinta said."Corey's thing is he should have kind of realized what was going on, and being the veteran guy, trying to protect the other guys, he should have been a little more patient ."
Guinta would not reveal who blew the coverage, but the film indicates that Stevie Brown was responsible for the deep left half of the field in a cover two zone. Brown attempted to disguise the coverage by lining up as a single over the top safety before the ball was snapped. However, instead of dropping into his zone, Brown bit hard on play action. Corey Webster failed to realize that Brown was out of position, and allowed A.J. Green to run past him.
Stevie Brown has been an incredible story so far this season for the Giants. His five interceptions and two fumble recoveries have enabled Big Blue to stay in some games they otherwise would have lost. However, Brown is still painfully inexperienced in Perry Fewell's system. He's athleticism and overall talent are clearly NFL caliber, but Brown is not yet a fully functioning member of Big Blue's defense.
This play highlights the Giants need to get healthy over the bye week. Kenny Phillips is one of the best over the top safeties in the NFL. There is no way to know whether he would have been in the right position on this play, but he's more experienced and understands the Giants' defensive scheme in greater detail than Brown. If the Giants had a healthy Kenny Phillips in position on AJ Green's 56 yard touchdown, the entire game could have played out differently.
The Giants defense has been suspect as of late. It's imperative that the players use this bye week to get healthy and the coaches do some serious self scouting. A combination of both just might help this team maintain a stranglehold on the NFC East.

KURT TIPPETT'S bid to move to the club of his choice as a delisted free agent has again been thwarted by the AFL.
Football operations boss Adrian Anderson late on Thursday rejected Tippett's attempt to take his case to the league's Grievance Tribunal before next Wednesday's deadline for nomination for the pre-season draft.
Tippett, who is holidaying in Bali and will not attend Friday's directions hearing at AFL headquarters, has told his management and his legal team he is not prepared to take his case to the Supreme Court. The 25-year-old remains hopeful of joining the Sydney Swans, and does not want to jeopardise his future nor antagonise the AFL Commission, which will sit in judgment of him next week.
At Friday's procedural hearing, David Galbally, QC, is expected to try to have Tippett delisted again before next Wednesday's pre-season draft deadline. Anderson has told the Tippett camp that while the Grievance Tribunal perameters have been widened under the new collective bargaining agreement, that agreement with the AFL Players' Association has not yet been signed and therefore does not apply to Tippett.
Should the AFL stand firm, Tippett will have to nominate for the final draft of the season not knowing whether he will be deregistered for draft tampering and salary cap breaches. Although Sydney have offered the forward a $3.5 million four-year deal, Tippett's circumstances could affect the price.
Greater Western Sydney coach Kevin Sheedy believes Tippett would be a great fit for the Giants, even if the club has to drag him there. Sheedy said Tippett's desire to avoid the Giants in favour of the Swans hadn't deterred the club.
''A lot of players don't really know what is right for them all the time,'' Sheedy said. ''It's going to be a damn good side in four years, and he'll be just peaking by then.''

I wanted to achieve the above output. I use AST to parse a given file and determine the occurrence of loops. With AST parsing i am able to find line number for the start of the loop but the line number for ending of the loop is yet to be determined. Is there any way i could parse an entire loop statement and determine its starting and ending line number ?

GALVESTON, Texas - A teenager who was charged in connection with a firefighter's death has been cleared, but he says something false that police told some media outlets has caused multiple problems.
It was night time Feb. 26, 2011, and Fred Mueller, who was driving west along the 8300 block of Seawall Boulevard began to make a U-turn that changed his life in an instant.
"The officer came to me and looked me in the eyes and said I was being charged with intoxication manslaughter," Mueller said.
Mueller had been broadsided by a motorcycle driven by Jamaica Beach firefighter Chris Norregaard.
Mueller said when emergency medical technicians discovered they were treating "one of their own" as Norregaard died, an already tense scene became more intense.
"As soon as they found out he was a firefighter, the officer changed," he said. "They started making me do the tests like walking the line and doing all that."
Galveston police told some media, including KPRC Local 2 , that Mueller failed his blood-alcohol test. Based on police comments, Local 2 and other media reported he had failed.
That was not the case.
The test actually showed Mueller had a blood-alcohol content of .01.
Norregaard's result was .153, along with four other drugs which showed he was the impaired driver in the accident.
Still, it took an agonizing several more months before charges were dropped.
Mueller's father, Randy Seehausen, said while the charges remained in place against his son, the reaction from the internet made his son's life a living hell.
"People were literally destroying our son's reputation and the Internet, if you went on it, it was horrible what was being said about him."
Galveston Police Chief Henry Porretto said charges were filed based on the information available at the time and that while the system was not fast, it worked.
"We tested and once they found out there wasn't probable cause or enough evidence, then I believe that the case was dismissed," he said.
When asked why the charges against Muller were allowed to stay in place so long even when the evidence seemed to indicate they weren't warranted, the Galveston District Attorney's office released this statement: "By law, we can't disclose any information regarding the case because the matter was expunged."
Mueller said only therapy and prayer helped him through.
"There's nothing I can do to reverse the past," he said. "I just have to realize and accept that it wasn't my fault. It was a pure accident, and accidents happen."

Augustine is big enough to function in today's NBA with the rules
on the perimeter as they are. Adding him to the existing mix would
leave the Pacers 2-3 more years of development of Williams as a
PF and a defense/rebounding oriented C away from being a pretty
damn, good ball club capable (given that both DET and BOS will be
aging rapidly by then) of competing in the EC for a shot at all the
Why isn't Joe Alexander from WVU not getting any draft hype?
What about Robin Lopez?
Probably not a lottery pick right now. I don't see the Pacers taking him. However I think he would be a first round pick.
Really could be a nice defender in the NBA. Could use more seasoning in college. Robin and Joe A, as someone mentioned above, are nice prospects that no one talks about.
R. Lopez probably will stay in college for one more year.
I'd be interested in R. Lopez with our 2nd round pick. Right now Ford has him at 40 in his top 100.
I like Augustin, but I think Bayless shows more potential to handle the rock like Paul. Augustin is steady, but not superstar potential as far as I can see. Obviously anyone can break out, but you don't draft him for that. You draft him because you know he will give you a steady PG, great is just a bonus.
WVU - honestly I just haven't watched them very closely.
IMF - I think Thabeet really faded his stock. He's been a one trick pony all year. Now early on I think the view was that he would progress, but he didn't really and now takes on the appearance of a serious project that has yet to show improvement.
But he has size and come draft night size counts for a lot.
Lawson to me is a "flat" dribbler, he handles the rock like he has smaller hands. I'm not saying that's why or that it can't change, but he just comes off as classic "college PG" where his speed is enough and he doesn't have to worry about seriously protecting his dribble.
Luckily we'll get another good look at him this weekend. I'm always open to being convinced on a different view.
IMO I think we should go after the best big available in the draft, whoever that is and work for some kind of trade to get that young PG from some team with little room for them to grow there. Jack and Lowry come to mind right now and could be good in the JOB system.
That doesn't mean he doesn't have All-Star potential.
The thing with Augustine with respect to his size is that it just
doesn't matter as much at PG in the NBA as it used to. If you
can consistently take your guy off the bounce, wether you're
5-11 or 6-3 is pretty much irrelevant. And on the other end,
how often do you see NBA PG's posting up (ala Mark Jackson
in his Pacers days) any more ?
Almost never. The rule changes have pretty much eliminated
There is a good story on ESPN's site about Augustin right now.
Read it and tell me you don't want a guy like that in a Pacers uniform. Plus him and Granger are both Louisiana boys so I think that's a chemistry builder right there. I would be a happy man if we could pick DJ up in the draft.
Your right, I think a kid like that would be a breath of fresh air for this team after years of Tinsley. I just got on the Augustin bandwagon. This is the type of charchter guys that can bring Indiana Pacers basketball back to where it should be.
Well we know that won't happen, as only the first 3 picks are truely "Lottery Picks", & after that (4-13) it is by record.
If we do not score a top 3, we will likely be picking from 8-11 (9-10 most likely, & where we are currently). Of the players projected there (Our projected pick highlighted):
K.Love/ D.Jordan (DraftExpress), R.Westbrook/ K.Love, (NBADraft.net), DJ.Augustine/ A.Randolph (InsideHoops), K.Love/ D.Jordan (HoopHype).
Now the K.Love thing intriguges me a bit, as he has raised 8-10 slots the last week+. I find it hard to believe scouts are seeing anything that different in 2 games then they did all year. Its not like he is from a smaller school & playing against top-talent for the first time. In no mocks does Gordon or Mayo fall below 8, & I can't see us finishing behind CHA, so I think 9 is the "best" we can do (currently 10).
I think it is wide-open who we take. We could go Big (C: Jordan/Hilbert; PF: Love/Randolf/Griffin) or small (Augustine/Collison). With those choices, & w/ the loss of Harrison (he's gone, we know it), the injuries (& possible trade) w/ JO, Murph providing no true interior help, & Foster a FA after n/y, I think unless Bird absolutely loves one of the PG's, we have to go BIG!
By the way: My first post here on the "Big Boards". Hello, & hope to get to know you all!
You can get to know my POV's a bit more in my rather lenghty New Member "From RealGM to Here...."post. Glad to be aboard!

(Watching You Like A Hawk!)
One needs only look back at my past claims to see my credibility is phenomenal. In fact, I'd argue my ability to evaluate talent is as good as any NBA scouts.
Thing about Augustine, you get the feeling whatever his best is, he'll reach it.
Which is better a guy with a huge gigantic upside who won't ever realize it or a guy who will work to be the best he can be, but it might not be as high of a ceiling.
Reggie did the very most he could with his ability, many many other guys don't even get close.
Mark Jackson was never a superstar either, but he filled his role on the team perfectly. Augustine is really starting to grow on me, and now since it looks like we won't be making the playoffs afterall, We might snag him.
Though I am still in love with Thabeet's potential... it would be nice to trade somewhere into the teens and pick him up, I wonder if Diogu could net us a pick like that...

I would think that the 1st round picks of both Portland and
Phoenix (via ATL) will likely be available. Both should be in
the #13-16 range which would be about perfect to grab
either a 'big' or a PG (like Collison) depending on which
position is addressed w/ the Pacers own pick.
Wether Bird wants to add two rookies w/ guaranteed deals,
who knows.
Three questions for whoever.
We are all talking about the bigs and point guards. So do you think a swingman is out of the question?
Me, I think so. I think you have to take a big or a point guard. Maybe you can take a Eric Gordon or OJ Mayo or the Bayless kid but I look at the bigs and DJ.
The other question is do you think Larry Bird will stay away from swingmen and draft with need in mind?
Then there is a third question. To me in terms of the point guards it's only DJ. Collison is a nice late first-early second round pick. Same with Lawson. DJ should be a top 15 pick.
Here is my question regarding DJ. Would you take him, someone who to me is likely to be a very nice pro like Jameer Nelson, or would you take a Hasheem Thabeet or DeAndre Jordan big who are very talented but also very raw. I think this is a decision Bird will face. What would you do?
I think Bird will address the needs. Which is everything except for a SF. Dunleavy should not be the fulltime starting SG on this team. We need a guy who can create his own shot and allow for players like Foster to crash boards. Having a Mayo/Gordon may open up current players strong points without having them be exploited on their weaknesses.
But the greater need is obvious. We need a PG. It has been this way for years. If DJ is gone and Collison is available? Then get Collison or a PG via trade or draft. Do not go into training camp with Tins and Diener as your PG options.
I think Mayo goes top 5 when it's all said and done. He is WAY too good to fall to us.

I've always believe that to truly have impact on performance, we need to be experts at Behavior Change. I've written a few times over the years on aspects of solutions that ultimately drive a change in behavior that leads to performance improvement. I'm now working on an very interesting project that is designed to lead to some important changes in behavior that has already had dramatic impacts. But we want to push for more, so ultimately this post is asking for help, please comment or tweet (add @tonykarrer) on:
What online systems have you seen that ultimately drive behavior change?
What do these systems do that leads to behavior change?
For example, there are solutions out there like:
- http://www.sparkpeople.com/
- http://www.jennycraig.com/
- http://yogaonline.corepoweryoga.com/
- http://poweroftwomarriage.com
that look to be interesting - although I don't have insights into specifics. I would love to compile a list of other such solutions. I also would love to hear about aspects of these systems that you feel drive behavior change.
Going back through my own writing/thoughts, it's remained fairly consistent over the years. In Data Driven, I said:
If you want to really improve the numbers via a performance improvement initiative then you need to start and end with the data.
This solution relies heavily on humans to push each other to ultimately change behavior. Using data as a means of assessing how you are doing from an action and results standpoint is an important aspect.
This is reinforced by Goals Accountability and Social Support for Big Impact where I used the responses to a monthly Big Question to arrive at the following as the basis for driving behavior change:
- Guide through setting meaningful personal goals
- Teach how you can hold yourself accountable to those goals
- Help the user set up social support
- Teach the social supporters how they can help hold the personal accountable
- Send lots of reminders to the individual and the supporters
When I've looked at other articles on Behavior Change, I found similar kinds of conclusions.
Most of the behavior change strategies, however, boil down to the following three "levers":
- Increase the number of triggers leading to the desirable behavior.
- Enhance ability to perform the behavior (make it easier to do)
- Amplify motivation for doing the behavior with intrinsic and extrinsic motivators.
- Design For Behavior Change
- It's All About Behavior Change
- BJ Fogg A Methodology for Designing Behavior Change
I'm definitely a big fan of The Power of Habit book. I think there's a lot to be learned. But for right now, I'm most interested in how these translate into online solutions that change behavior.
Please contribute and I will post back more on this.

Hi,I have a table which holds the prices of a certain good in all currencies we support. As there are over 200 countries, we only have the pricing of this good for a limited number of currencies. Is there an elegant way to query the DB such that if it does not find the pricing for a certain country it returns the default pricing?
In other words if my customer is from Vietnam and we do not support the local currency, then the retured result should be the pricing in US dollars, for example.
, products.name
, COALESCE(p1.price, p2.price)
FROM products
LEFT OUTER JOIN prices AS p1
ON products.id = p1.id
AND p1.currency = 'your clients currency here'
LEFT OUTER JOIN prices AS p2
ON products.id = p2.id
AND p2.currency = 'your default currency here'
Hi Guido,Thank you very much for your quick feedback. I apologise for not specifying that all the necessary data is included in one table and the actual table structre itself:
CREATE TABLE pricing (
id smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
currency char(3) NOT NULL,
currency_symbol char(1) NOT NULL,
price smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL,
country char(2) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
KEY price (price),
KEY country (country)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
And how do you know what price a product has? There must be some link between product and price?
Anyway, try
COALESCE(p2.price, p1.price)
FROM prices AS p1
LEFT OUTER JOIN prices AS p2
ON p1.id = p2.id
AND p2.currency = 'your clients currency here'
WHERE p1.currency = 'your default currency here'
guido, there is only one product
also, in your query, you're matching two rows based on an auto_increment number, so you're really only joining a row to itself, and it can't possibly have different currencies
Hi Guido,Thanks for the new query.Please bear in mind that there is ony one product and that the pricing table contains the currency and the price. Currently to decide if I have a price for a particular customer i check the two digit ISO country code.
I have also tested the query and it does not seem to work.
Ahh yes How about
COALESCE(p2.price, p1.price) AS price
FROM prices AS p1
LEFT OUTER JOIN prices AS p2
ON p2.currency = 'your clients currency here'
WHERE p1.currency = 'your default currency here'
Hi Guido,With a small tweak it seems to be working. I forgot to mention that there are multiple prices for the same product depending on quantity (my bad) so I needed to wrap a DISTINCT around the COALESCE. Here is the working query:
DISTINCT (COALESCE(p2.price, p1.price)) AS price
FROM pricing AS p1
LEFT OUTER JOIN pricing AS p2
ON p2.country = 'customer country'
WHERE p1.country = 'default country'
Glad you got it to work, and glad I finally managed to understand the problem (thanks Rudy ).
Thanks to both of you. Great work!

|Director of Athletics
|Alma Mater:
|Fitchburg State '82
"Fran Reidy has done everything faithful to Saint Leo University's mission, values and vision. He has been a leader and example for all of us and contributed to the University progress in so many ways, way beyond athletics. Typical of that, he was among the first class of Leadership Saint Leo and served as chair of the search committee for our new Director of University Ministry. In every way, Fran has contributed to Saint Leo University's resurgence."
Dr. Arthur F. Kirk Jr., President, Saint Leo University
It started over two decades ago when Francis X. Reidy first walked into the tiny Saint Leo Department of Athletics as a part-time men's soccer coach. What has transpired since that August day in 1988 is an inspiring story of untold successes and a spot in the Saint Leo University Hall of Fame.
He became a full time member of the department in 1993. Along the way, he has served as Sports Information Director, Compliance Officer, Assistant Athletic Director, and Associate Athletic Director until reaching his current role as Director of Athletics in 1999.
That year, he inherited a Monarch athletic program that had four NCAA post season appearances in 35 years and managed to breathe a new fire into the department. He hand-picked the numerous coaches that eventually took the rebranded 'Lions' to 25 postseason trips during his tenure. In his swan song as a head coach, he helped recruit, prepare, and oversee the school's first ever Sunshine State Conference Championship in 2005, an elusive title nearly 30 years in the making.
That championship capped a stellar coaching career for Reidy, who ultimately served as head coach for 16 years, stepping down after the 2003 season. His overall record was 140-134-16, which currently stands third in the SSC all-time in wins. Twice, honored by the Sunshine State Conference as Coach-of-the-Year, he holds the school record for most wins in men's soccer history.
As a head coach he produced five All-Americans, 14 All-Region and 39 All-Conference players. He also has overseen the development of an SSC Men's Soccer Player of the Year, an SSC Male Athlete of the Year, and three of his former student-athletes were named to the Conference Silver Anniversary 23-man soccer team in 2003. He has also seen two of his former players inducted into the SSC Hall of Fame.
Inducted into the Saint Leo Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008, Reidy also oversaw the addition of 11 of the school's 19 intercollegiate sports. During his tenure, the President's Club was formed to recognize student-athletes' academic achievement and graduation rates have increased. Student-athletes' GPA in 2008-09 was over 3.00 for the first time in department history and, in the last semester, 15 teams were above the 3.00 mark with a overall GPA of 3.19 for all Saint Leo student-athletes. Athletes are more involved in University leadership and service since he became director.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated October 11th, 2011
ALEXANDER MURINSON: Yes. I actually wrote a book, published a book in England which is called, "Turkey's Entente With Israel and Azerbaijan" and this book was part of my dissertation, my doctoral dissertation in London and in this book I make the claim that Turkey, Israel and I wrote specifically about Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani people are uniquely endowed to be very, extremely very close allies, because of the historical and because of the historical warmth between these three people, so it's a logical extension in the modern times, in the modern context of international relations that this union which was propagated in 1999 but I think that as you mentioned with respect that a lot of tensions which have been noted in the media need to be calmed down and the media should send a message of calm and confidence in this special gift of friendship between Turkish and Israeli people.
ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, what is practiced is important. In practice there is no tension in between peoples; in between the Turkish people and the Israeli people. But there might be some political discussions, political tensions in between governments. This is not something binding for the peoples, it is not something that fundamentally effects them. There is nothing that changed, on the contrary Israeli people and the Turkish people have drawn even closer to each other and are in an emotional state that coalesces with each other even further. That is because, this is the specialty of the time of King Messiah. That will happen anyway. I mean Allah does this even if people do not want to.. I mean that is a very wondrous time. The time [we are living in] is an extra-ordinary time. Allah influences the hearts of people with His name al-Jabbar. Willingly or unwillingly people will all enter into this affection, this unity. The people of Israel, as you know, have been waiting for the Messiah for 3000 years. It is now the time of the King Messiah, the Shiloh. Both according to the Torah and according to the hadiths, there is no time other than this. We are at the End of Times, we are at the threshold of the Last Day. Apart from this century there is no other time for the appearance of the King Messiah. There is no other time for the arrival of the Mahdi. The foundation of the state of Israel is itself a portent of the arrival of the Mahdi, the Moschiah. All the portents defined in the Torah have been realized. All the portents defined in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) have been realized. The weapons will be removed, the arming will stop from that on. The money spent of weapons will be directed to the natural needs like food and clothing of the poor and the needy. From that point on the dissension and anarchy would decrease gradually and disappear.

So our current highlights are a bit unpleasing. I propose taking community ideas for some new highlights. You can suggest any color you want for any user rights (except chat mod). Just say a color, the shade for that color (bright, dark), and what user right you want it to be applied to. You should pick from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, aqua, or tan. No be shy to say any color! Technology Wizard · talk

THREE goals in eight minutes from Manchester Phoenix helped them defeat the newly crowned EPL Champions Guildford on Sunday The Flames took Phoenix's title last weekend but Tony Hand's side notched a confidence boosting win against the new champions ahead of the end of season playoffs.
After a goalless opening period, Phoenix stunned the Flames with three straight goals at the mid way point of the second session.
Juraj Faith opened the scoring in the 27th minute and this was added to by Josh Ward and Jaroslav Spelda but the Flames regrouped and hit back through Jozef Kohut before the break.
Milos Melicherik reduced the deficit further on the power-play early in the third period but two goals from Martin Cingel put Phoenix out of sight.
The win completed a maximum points weekend for Manchester as they beat Swindon Wildcats 5-4 on Saturday and they look to have now sealed a second place finish for the season with only two league games remaining.
Hand said: "After the disappointment of last week's defeat at home to Slough, it was important to get back to winning ways. We were a bit careless in front of net in the first period, and Flames goalie Mark Lee was on great form.
"But we stuck to our game plan and kept our discipline and we were good value for the win."

You can pick your friends. You can pick your berries. But you can't pick your friends' berries.
Unless you have a friend named Patty who owns a huge u-pick berry farm on the North Fork of Long Island. Or a friend like her.
I spent the morning of July 4th, a beautiful, sunny, summer day, at Patty's Berries and Bunches, roving the fields for the sweetest and ripest blueberries and raspberries. Now, I'm known for overusing the phrase, "This is the greatest day of my life," but on this day, my utterance was quite valid. I spent the morning at a berry farm, popping fresh berries, warm from the sun into my mouth (a few did land in my berry basket), the afternoon at the beach, and the evening with family and friends, sharing sangria and a patriotic Fruit-Topped Flag — decorated with the aforementioned berries — as fireworks burst overhead. See what I mean? Best day ever.
After this glorious day, I'm faced with one problem. I've eaten all of the raspberries. Right from the cartons. I mean I shared some . . . but the point is, they're all gone and I didn't get to make the Raspberry Bellinis, Grilled Peaches With Raspberry Sauce, or the Chilled Raspberry Beet Soup With Mint that I now realize I want. I didn't even save any to stir into Greek yogurt with a little honey. So, whoops. Next time I'll calm down a bit, maybe pick a few more cartons, and make some raspberry jam, or pair them with blueberries for some Blueberry-Raspberry Jam With Allspice and Rum.
I did show some restraint with the blueberries and have a few cartons of those left. Blueberries freeze really well, and when I go picking again, I'll probably freeze a few pints to use in muffins and smoothies in the coming months. But what should I do with the berries I have left from this trip? BrownEyedBaker's Blueberry Boy Bait (cake) promises to not only be delicious but to, well bait a boy . . . berry pie has always been a summer favorite of mine and Emeril's uses all of my favorite summer fruits, Dave Lieberman's Blueberry Pecan Crumble looks particularly amazing (topped with ice cream? Come on). I can also see myself taking the healthy route and making a quick Berry Mint Salad, not only because it's fresh and tasty, but it's one step from eating the berries right out of the carton.
So what do you think? Any thoughts on using the rest of my blueberries or ideas for my inevitable next berry-picking excursion?

Farina Kingsley, an international culinary instructor and author of three Asian cookbooks, says eating jai, a vegetable delight made of 18 ingredients, on the first day of the new year symbolizes purification of the body. She learned to make the dish from her great-aunt, who was Buddhist. "Originally eaten by Buddhists in Chinese culture, there are regional differences in the preparation of jai, but most of the dried ingredients remain consistent, since they symbolize good luck. A number of the ingredients, like the black fungus (fat choy), lily buds (jinzhen) and gingko nuts (bai guo), all symbolize wealth and good fortune," says Farina.
According to Singapore-based home cook and blogger Katie Tan of Kitchen Tigress, the dish offers an additional blessing: "The Chinese believe that not killing animals is a good deed, and that good deeds beget good fortune. That's why most Chinese make the effort to have a vegetarian breakfast — or at least a vegetarian dish on the first day of the new year." To turbocharge your luck, Katie offers additional suggestions: Using knives on the first day of the new year brings bad luck. Hence, all the ingredients must be prepped in the old year. Be very careful while cooking so as not to dirty the floor. Sweeping the floor on the first day is equivalent to sweeping away wealth!
Jai requires time and patience to prepare. Most of the time, Farina says, is spent rinsing and soaking dried ingredients and then slowly braising the ingredients until the flavors meld. While the traditional jai doesn't have fresh vegetables, Farina likes to add some to her recipe (featured here).
Buddhist Vegetarian Stew — Luo Hon Jai
Recipe by Farina Kingsley, author of several Asian cookbooks and creator of the new Farina's Asian Pantry cooking app for iPhone/iPad.
Total Time: 2 hour 15 minutes
Prep: 1 hour 45 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Yield: About 6 servings
Level: Easy
8 dried black shiitake mushrooms
4 ounces dried bean curd sticks
2 ounces dried lily buds
1 ounce dried black moss (fat choy)
1/2 ounce dried black fungus (cloud ear or wood ear)
1 small package cellophane noodles (about 2-3 ounces)
1/2 cup raw shelled peanuts
6 cups water
5-6 ounces deep-fried tofu squares, cut in half
4 ounces wheat gluten, sliced in 1/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 slices ginger, smacked with the side of a knife
3 garlic cloves, peeled but left whole
1 tablespoon red fermented bean curd (nam yee)
1 large carrot, peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/8-inch-thick half-moons
One 5-ounce can sliced bamboo shoots
1 cup lotus root, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/8-inch-thick half-moons
2 cups shredded napa cabbage, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 small can straw mushrooms, drained and rinsed
7 ounces canned ginkgo nuts, drained and rinsed
Steamed white rice, for serving (optional)
2 cups water, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons vegetarian oyster sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce, plus more for serving (optional)
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Soak the shiitake mushrooms, bean curd sticks, lily buds, black moss, black fungus, cellophane noodles and raw peanuts in separate bowls of hot water to cover for 30 minutes.
Once the ingredients are reconstituted, drain each and rinse well. Trim the shiitake mushroom stems. Cut the bean curd sticks into 3-inch pieces. Tie the lily buds into knots.
In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the tofu and wheat gluten, and boil for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large wok or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic and fermented bean curd, and stir-fry until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the carrots, bamboo shoots and lotus root, and continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes. Toss in the cabbage and cook for 5 minutes more. Add the noodles and the peanuts.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and mix well.
Pour the sauce on top of the cooked vegetables and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Add all the reconstituted ingredients, the tofu, wheat gluten, straw mushrooms and ginkgo nuts. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the stew for at least 15 minutes.
Once the ingredients absorb all the liquid, add an additional cup of water and continue to simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes more.
If desired, season to taste with more light soy sauce, and serve alone or with steamed white rice.

Thibodaux residents won't be seeing their taxes go up in the next year, but city services are going to be reviewed because of budget issues.
Thibodaux residents won't be seeing their taxes go up in the next year, but city services are going to be reviewed because of budget issues.
The City Council rejected a measure Tuesday that would have increased the city's property tax rate. The city hasn't rolled forward the rate since 2004.
"Every governmental body in this parish ought to consider not rolling the millages forward on the public. The School Board is in your pocket, the sheriff is in your pocket, the North Lafourche Levee District is in your pocket, the Parish Council is in your pocket. I just don't support rolling millages forward. Period," Councilman Lloyd "Chip" Badeaux said.
After a reassessment such as the one in 2012, property tax rates, called millages, were automatically rolled back so the taxing agencies receive the same amount of money as the previous year despite property value increases.
But the state constitution allows taxing agencies to roll the millage forward to the previous rate and receive the additional tax revenue.
Because the proposed ordinance would have increased taxes, the council needed a two-thirds vote for approval. Councilmen Chad Mire, Eddie Hebert and Gene Richard voted for the ordinance, while Badeaux and Councilwoman Constance Johnson opposed.
The city collects 14 mills, and the increase would have been just 0.16 mills. A mill is $1 in tax levied on every $1,000 of taxable property.
On a $100,000 house, the increase would have been $1.60 a year. The city collects $474,000 from the property tax.
Mayor Tommy Eschete estimated the increase would have brought in about $15,000. Though the increase would have been minimal, Eschete said with looming budget issues, every penny counts.
A 2012 audit of city government finances performed by Thibodaux-based accounting firm Stagni & Co. says Thibodaux has lost about $6.2 million in income over the past two years.
Thibodaux ended 2012 with $61.2 million in net assets, $8.6 million of which can be used on expenses.
The city has been in discussion with auditing firm Bourgeois & Bennett about compiling a report of expenditures in recent years.
Eschete said if the city continues at its current pace, there will be a need for significant cuts or an increase in taxes.
"Although our revenues go up every year, it's not keeping up with our expenditures," Eschete said at a July pre-budget conference.
Eschete said personnel costs are very high, but there is not a sizable increase in the amount of personnel.
"The only way to reduce personnel costs is to get rid of people," he said.
And the way to avoid making large cuts to personnel is to start planning for the future, he said.
Richard said it's time the council pays more attention to the money it's spending.
"I'm not one for cutting services, but I am one for saying maybe we can't do all of the things we need to do because the funding isn't available," he said. "Saying no to the public is hard, but there are some issues that are going to come up where we no longer have the funding that we used to have."

Located just south of McFarland on US-51, Patrick's Grill is in the building that used to be Beck's...in fact, Patrick was a bartender there and bought the business. And before it was Beck's it was a few other things; it's been there for as long as I can remember, and that's almost 24 years now.
It's not very big inside. I sat at the table kittycorner from the bar, and there were a couple of other tables to my right.
When Patrick was preparing to open he had a sign that mentioned barbecue, so I was keeping a visit in the back of my mind. And one day when I drove by and saw these outside I knew I'd be stopping eventually.
Patrick's isn't a "full service" barbecue place; while he'll roast a pig on request all that's on the regular menu is shredded beef brisket (left) and pulled pork (right). And this is only on the weekends, as he does his smoking on Fridays and then sells it until it's gone.
Even though this is all he offers for barbecue (the bar has a flattop and fryer so burgers and other items are on the menu), he does a good job. Both sandwiches had smoky, meaty flavor and the toasted buns were a nice addition, and his homemade barbecue sauce is outstanding. It's only slightly sweet with a mild pepper kick, and while he didn't reveal all his ingredients he did say that he uses cranberry as a Wisconsin touch; did you know that Wisconsin leads the USA in cranberry production?
The other signature item is what Patrick calls the "hog dog", which is a Klement's Chicago Style hot dog wrapped in bacon and deep-fried. And despite what first thoughts might be it's not at all greasy, and the frying really brings out the flavor of the dog.
And to top it off, 2 sandwiches, a hot dog, and a couple of sodas came to the whopping total of $14. Can't beat that with a stick!

This is the main reason why I don't have Java installed.
Good. They deserve it for all those years of saying they were malware free. Windows all the way!
i wonder if mountain lion is immune. hmmm ... i'm looking forward to upgrading anyway. i'm sure apple will release a security update.
Being attacked and getting a virus from a malicious site are two different things. Everyone in essence SHOULD have anti-virus of some kind on their Mac's. Its not about desire its about need. With all of the attacks that are being made public, it won't be long before a hacker writes a substantial malicious code to affect great numbers. All that do not have it at that time will cry and complain about how Apple has failed them. Apple never said you did not need anti-virus, they have just never really been a big target for it due to the small amount of users VS Windows platform. Now that we know, the next MMi article should outline anti-virus options for Mac users instead of trying to scare us :]
LOL j/k and BTW I'm a gamer so I returned my iMac after realizing I had to pay out the ***** to run all the good PC games because "exe is an unsupported format" (even though ALL the good programs and games run primarily on Windows is irrelevant to you I suppose, but you're entitled to your 'tard opinion as is everyone else)
EDIT: You suck ModMyi, I did my own censoring and you over ruled me.
And my gaming is done on consoles & iDevices not my Mac. I use my Mac for computing and design. Also in case you didn't know, you can run Windows on a Mac, but why would you want to?

What is eBay and how do you start a business on it?
Internet auction website eBay is one of the biggest retail phenomena of our time. The opportunities offered by an eBay business stretch way beyond the chance to sell unwanted bric-a-brac, or discarded Christmas presents.
eBay was started by Pierre Omidyar in September 1995 as a result of his wife's desire to add to her collection of sweet dispensers; not even in his wildest dreams could Omidyar have predicted how far his venture would go. The simplicity of setting up on eBay has persuaded millions of people who would never previously have considered going into business to start out for themselves, and millions more have established healthy second incomes by buying items and selling them online for profit. According to statistics released in June 2011, eBay had 96 million active users and 233 million customers worldwide.
As any user will know, eBay features just about everything for sale, from the weird and wonderful to the plain and practical. With thousands of UK customers looking for an eBay bargain every day, it's unsurprising that many entrepreneurs have decided to take advantage and use the website to generate a full-time eBay business. An independent trade body, the Professional eBay Sellers Alliance, or PESA, has been set up exclusively for these people; PESA claims its members' total sales amount to over $400m a year.

In addition, starting an eBay business can represent a quick route to international trade, and UK sellers in particular are taking advantage of this opportunity. A recent study conducted by the US site found that the UK is leading the way in eBay exports, with UK businesses exporting to an average of 39 different countries each – more than anywhere else in the world. Fashion accessories represented the most widely-exported products from UK sellers in the first quarter of 2014, with vehicle parts and mobile phones also presenting lucrative export opportunities.
Julie King, from Newcastle, gave up her job as an IT consultant after she found she could buy and sell designer shoes and handbags on eBay for a profit. Her eBay business, Killer Heels, based on buying shoes and bags from wholesalers and selling them on eBay, soon grew into a £6,000-a-month operation.

Amid all the wacky eBay stories that regularly invade the press, such as the housewife who put herself up for sale for £25,000, there are plenty of thriving businesses taking advantage of the eBay phenomenon. One such business is The Gathering Goddess, a vintage clothing company run by Wilmamae Ward, who says:
"I had been buying beautiful vintage clothes on eBay for several years and had amassed a huge collection for which I no longer had room. I decided to sell some of my collection back on eBay. I was amazed at the prices achieved, so I began to sell more and more and it just snowballed. eBay allowed me reach many customers
"I soon decided this was a business I would love doing, as I was able to indulge my fashion obsession and make a great living at the same time. It also enabled me to work from home and make my own hours.
"In addition, unlike a bricks and mortar shop which has to rely on passing trade and extensive marketing, eBay provides all of this on a global basis – without the overheads. "Starting an eBay business was quite easy, I think the most important thing is to find a niche that few other people are competing in, if you can do this then this is probably the best way to start an eBay business."
