Here's the new update for Teorex PhotoStitcher.. With this program you can effortlessly and easily stitch your photos to panorama!
PhotoStitcher photo stitcher software There's no need to manually go through messing around moving and aligning images! Now you can use PhotoStitcher to easily stitch images and get perfect panoramic photograph. You just snap some overlapping images and click Stitch button. PhotoStitcher will automatically combine overlapping photos to produce perfect panoramic image. Go to our Tutorials page and see for yourself how easy it is for anyone to do with just a few simple steps.
Does creating a perfect panorama require professional skills and a high-end camera? Not, necessarily. With PhotoStitcher you can stitch multiple photos into a picturesque panoramic image. The program smoothly combines photos of different resolutions, different shooting angles and even different perspectives into one perfectly aligned panorama depicting breath-taking landscapes, monumental churches or skyscraping mountains that are so hard to fit into one frame.
Shoot overlapping photos and PhotoStitcher stitches them all
Ensure that each photo has about 30-50% overlap with all other adjacent photograph. Sometimes one standard size photo is simply not enough to capture the magnificence of a certain landscape. A horizontal panorama would better reflect the beauty of seashore, while a vertical panoramic image would catch a wonderful mountain view in its full splendor. PhotoStitcher helps you create nice panoramic images from individual overlapping photos in case you missed the opportunity to take a panoramic shot and only have scattered photos with varying perspective, angle and zoom
Create perfect panoramas in one click
Making a really nice panoramic photo of a city usually requires a wide-angle camera. Typical non-professional lenses simply cannot capture the entire view in one frame. However if you aren't a lucky owner of a professional camera and photographic skills you still can create perfect panoramas from scattered images of the same place. PhotoStitcher automatically aligns individual pictures stitching them one by one into an eye-catching professionally-looking panorama!
Top Reasons to use PhotoStitcher
- Works with any arrangement of overlapping photos taken from a single location
- Crop the result with automatic cropping
- Simple and intuitive interface. Just select images and click "Stitch"
- Easy to get use & started
- Completely non-technical

Folda ordained as bishop of Fargo Catholic diocese
FARGO -- At two minutes past 3 p.m., Monsignor John Thomas Folda became the newest bishop of the Roman Catholic Church as St. Paul and Minneapolis Archbishop John Nienstedt laid his hands on Folda's bowed head in St. Mary's Cathedral.
That simple gesture passed on 2,000 years of church tradition and apostolic authority from Peter being told by Jesus to "feed my sheep," said Monsignor Robert Laliberte, one of more than 100 Fargo diocese priests at the Mass. According to Catholic teaching, at that moment Folda became, in truth and in the flesh, a bishop for life.
Folda's first words during the two-hour ordination Mass were "I do," as Nienstedt asked him, "And so, dear brother, do you resolve by the grace of the Holy Spirit to discharge until death the office entrusted to us by the apostles, which we are about to pass on to you by the laying on of our hands?"
Folda's motto as new bishop, "The Word became flesh," from the Gospel of John, speaks of Christ and the incarnational nature of the faith, as spiritual reality plays out in bodily form, Laliberte said.
His ordination as a bishop puts an "indelible mark" on Folda's nature that is there for life, according to church teaching.
The Mass included five archbishops, 23 bishops and 185 priests -- including about 60 from the Catholic Diocese of Lincoln, Neb., where Folda, 51, has been a priest since he was ordained one in 1989.
More than 800 people filled St. Mary's in downtown Fargo, with the sanctuary filled -- half of it with white-robed priests, deacons and seminarians -- and about 220 in the basement.
New neighbors
A TV hookup for an overflow attendance in First Lutheran Church across Broadway wasn't needed, but space in First Lutheran was used for about 240 bishops, priests, deacons and seminarians to put on their vestments before the Mass.
First Lutheran put out coffee and cookies and greeted its Catholic brothers, said the Rev. Corey Bjertness, its pastor.
"We were glad to help," he said. "I call it our 'Bridge Across Broadway.' "
The Mass was broadcast live on Catholic radio and by Fargo television. Patrons of the Bismarck Tavern just down Broadway from St. Mary's had it up on a big screen Wednesday, although most were watching an outdoors show on another screen.
On April 8, only three weeks after he was chosen to lead the church, Pope Francis appointed Folda to be bishop in Fargo, the first new bishop he named in the United States.
Folda succeeds Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver, who left Fargo July 18, 2012.
After the Mass, Bishop Folda spent more than an hour greeting his new flock, including Destin and Stacey Coles and their children: Alexis, 12, Drew, 10, Evan 8, Abigail, 6, and Jacob, 2.
"I feel totally blessed by God that he sent us a shepherd," Destin Coles said after Folda blessed the couple on what happens to be their 15th wedding anniversary. "He's such a gentle leader."
Judy Petermann, of Fargo and formerly of Grand Forks, met Folda on the lawn in front of the bishop's residence.
"I wished him well and he said, 'Continue to pray for me,' " she said. "He just seems so warm and has a smile that doesn't stop."
Similar to Lincoln
The Fargo diocese is similar to the Lincoln diocese: largely rural and agricultural, with 72,000 parish members, about 132 parishes across eastern North Dakota.
Of about 400,000 people in the diocese, nearly 90,000 identify themselves as Catholics, according to U.S. census data.
The Lincoln diocese has a general population of nearly 600,000, with about 96,000 identifying themselves as Catholics.
"He understands farm issues and rural issues, as well as life issues," said Christopher Dodson, executive director of the North Dakota Catholic Conference and lobbyist for the Fargo and Bismarck dioceses.
Folda has emphasized "a spirit of continuity," with the work of his predecessor, Archbishop Aquila, who was bishop in Fargo for 11 years, said Chancellor Luke Meyer.
That includes Folda asking Meyer, informally, if he would consider staying on as chancellor and personal secretary to the bishop, a role that involves Meyer living in the bishop's residence.
Folda studied architecture at the University of Nebraska, switched to engineering and then, after answering a call to the priesthood, ended up taking a degree in philosophy. He was ordained a priest in Lincoln in 1989.
He said Tuesday night that his father, James, who died three years ago, set an example of quiet faith, not speaking so much about it, but praying daily with his family and reading Scripture during Mass. His mother, Mabel -- who with his two sisters and their families were at Wednesday's Mass -- long has been a member of the Legion of Mary, visiting the sick in her parish.
Folda's family has Czech and German roots and as a boy he aspired to be "a dad with a big family," rather than a priest as his grandmother urged him, according to a profile of Folda in the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald.
But he served as an altar boy and always has been serious about his Catholic faith.
An ardent member of "Husker Nation," who wears his red sweatshirt when watching games of Nebraska's national football powerhouse, Folda won't necessarily face a conflict of interest in Bison Land, said the Rev. Jeffrey Eickhoff, who succeeds Folda as rector of St. Gregory the Great Seminary in Seward, Neb. "I looked at their schedules and I don't think Nebraska and NDSU play each other in any sport."
Monsignor Brian Donahue, now on assignment from Fargo as a chaplain, pastor and Army major at West Point in New York, got to know Folda years ago because both were seminary rectors.
"In my experience he is very humble and deeply spiritual," Donahue said Wednesday.
"His motto, about the incarnation and the Word becoming flesh, is very accurate because his feet are on the ground."

Our customers and Landsharks teams have been very lucky to share time with such intelligent and hard-working mothers!

Cute prints
I've been working on some custom doll dresses over the last few days.
I think they are just adorable. The prints are just beautiful. I'd love to make some in little girl sizes.

Easter Hols 2015
There's not been much crafting done the last week or so. The kids are off school for two weeks so we headed down to my folks in Wex for a few days.
The weather has been glorious, just like the summer, so it was a great time to be in the Sunny South East!
Rock climbing with Granny and their Aunty Katie.
Enjoying the beach at Kilmore Quay, where we also got our dinner at the best chipper in the world. The Salter Chipper has the best fish and chips I've ever had, probably because the chipper is right across the road from the quay-side where the fishing boats unload. You can't get fresher fish than that!
At a Teddy Bear's picnic in Rathwood, Co. Carlow on the trip home. They met Goldilocks and the three bears, took a ride on a train, made their own teddies to bring home, fed some geese and had a picnic. It was well worth a visit and we will definitely go back there again.
Now we're back home and it's back to household chores. But at least the weather's still good so there's good drying!

OK so what's the deal with the first "I love you"?
Can I, as the woman, say I love you first, or is that one thing the man for sure has to say before the woman? I've read that, in general, men take longer to fall in love than a woman will, and we don't want to say I love you too soon and scare them away. Is this BS, or good advice? My heart is screaming to say it, but I'm worried about going too fast for my boyfriend.
–Twitterpated ( ♀ Duncan)
I don't suggest that a woman say I love you first. And definitely not because the man takes longer to fall in love, but because men typically don't know they're in love as early. Not only that, but when they know, they generally don't say 'I love you' until they are sure that they mean it (a good thing, really). Let him take the lead so he can figure out his feelings before your feelings for him get all muddled up in his head.
In the meantime, find solace in noticing your man doing cute little things to express his growing love for you such as finding excuses to do boring errands with you, or calling you a couple of times in one day because he forgot to ask you something, or talking about the two of you instead of just the one of him. Men show before they tell.
If that's not enough to keep your lips sealed, then look a little deeper at how we are cultured to believe that love is a static state. One that can only go forward toward other static things like the girlfriend/boyfriend title, moving in together, eternal commitment, the list goes on. It's no wonder that there is so much reservation around the utterance.
It won't be long!
– Lisa

Modern yet different
The latest bathroom series Me-By Starck has been thoughtfully designed by Duravit and designer Philippe Starck and is sure to appeals to every style – pure, elegant, natural or raw. The assortment includes bathtubs, shower trays, toilets, bidets, washbasins, furniture basins, washbowls and vanity basins, with optionally matching siphon cover, pedestal or vanity unit, as wall-mounted or floor standing version with chrome feet. Turn designer and create your own personal haven. You can order anything from individual pieces to entire bathroom suites, and we are unbeatable when it comes to prices.
Your bathroom is an important part of your home, and it should be seen as more than a strictly utilitarian room. A bathroom is a place of relaxation, peace and quiet, even meditation; it is where you can enjoy some 'me' time as you luxuriate in soothing, fragrant warm water and soak away the stress of the day. To this end it is important to build a space that promotes a sense of well-being through tasteful modern design. Colours, shapes, fittings, dimensions and decorative features must all be chosen with care. A bathroom suite must last many years, so you should avoid buying the cheapest imported ranges. At the same time, it is not necessary to pay an excessive price for luxury and first-class design. With this in mind Duravit has collaborated with the legendary designer Philppe Starck to create its stylish new Me By Starck range.
It is our desire to create a series of looks that reflect the values of contemporary lifestyles and the aspirations they embody. So the new range is tailored to offer wide scope for individual tastes, with an emphasis on personal style. The Me By Starck series affords you the freedom to design your bathroom for yourself with its impressive array of mix-and-match products. There are so many ways to combine these elements to express your individuality, your personality, your creative spirit.
Phillipe Starck's design philosophy has always been one of combining a modernist attitude with the neoclassical values of understatement, balance and elegance. Form always follows function, and his commitment to the finest materials, sustainability, organic structure and a timeless clarity is always expressed in a subtly pleasing aesthetic. Extravagance is hinted at rather than shouted from the rooftops.
He has worked hard with Duravit to create beauty from organic materials in tune with our need for a sense of connection to the natural world as well as our desire to be nurtured by a home environment that embodies efficiency, functionality and a true sense of style.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Even when Goldman Sachs ( GS) loses, it wins. Goldman undercut rival investment banks by offering to charge a puny underwriting fee for General Motors ( GM) upcoming initial public offering, according to a report by Bloomberg News early Monday. A Goldman spokeswoman declined to comment. Goldman will not be the lead underwriter on the deal, expected to raise $12 billion to $16 billion, which would make it the second-largest offering in U.S. history. However, Goldman knew they would not get the top spot from the beginning, the Bloomberg report states, and offered to charge just 0.75%, well below the 2% proposed by Bank of America ( BAC) and other banks that were pitching the U.S. Treasury for the GM business. The result is that the Treasury imposed that low fee on all the banks expected to be involved in the deal, including lead underwriters JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) and Morgan Stanley ( MS), according to the report. A call to Ron Bloom, a U.S. Treasury Department official charged with overseeing the government's investment in GM, was not returned. The 0.75% fee means that if the deal raises $12 billion, the banks will split $90 million, as opposed to the $320 million they would have split if they'd all gotten to charge 2%. Either number, especially if its divided five ways among the various underwriters, doesn't amount to much money for a giant global financial institution. Banks win the business so they can build relationships and be in the thick of the information flow. Properly exploited, the chance to be an underwriter on a big IPO like GM ought to be worth far more than the puny underwriting fee would suggest. Goldman has arguably been the best at exploiting such opportunities over the past decade, but under the new era of supposedly tighter regulation, it isn't yet clear if the game has changed. In the past, Goldman's proprietary traders might have gleaned some insights into what was happening at GM, even though technically things weren't really supposed to work that way. Now Goldman isn't even supposed to be doing much proprietary trading. Still, it's hard to see how the GM deal isn't a political and competitive win for Goldman. Whether the firm can turn that win into the big profits Goldman investors have come to expect remains to be seen. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

"We were keen to keep him with us for the remainder of the season.
"In that position you're always an injury or two away from being in a bit of trouble."

London, May 13 (IANS) Irish actor Colin Farrell says he doesn't like it when people criticise his work in a film and end up taking some of the comments personally.
The 36-year-old admits of reading as many as possible reviews of his performance in Oliver Stone's biopic "Alexander", reports femalefirst.co.uk.
He said: "I got some pretty special reviews. Unfortunately, I went to all four corners of the world to find every word I could that was written about it. I read it all. It was pretty tough."
"I say tough from a very sensitive, emotional place. It ain't tough in the grand scheme of things, but when you put yourself out there and you're really criticised and kinda called s**t, it's not nice. So sure, you do take it personally," he added.
The "S.W.A.T." actor is deeply passionate about his work.
"I work as hard as I can... and I feel my way through it a lot, and it means something to me. Even 'Total Recall' - a big summer movie, cost a f**king fortune. Even that. I couldn't have worked on that if I couldn't personalise it. Genuinely."

Its Amaka Again!
I don't know what to do. We have only been married for 5 years and I think I have done the best possible I can do in this marriage. Before the children came I used to work so I was happy to help out with food, furnishing the house, paying for certain expenses like hospital bills, air tickets, clothes for the children etc. But since I quit my job and started new business things have not been so financially buoyant. Now my husband is complaining and saying that I am not a good wife and that his friend's wives contribute to the home. My former job was not conducive for my family and I was working so hard but yet was not happy. How can I best support my hubby even with the little that I have?
Amaka: Dear friend, it's almost impossible to please someone that general doesn't value you. This is me not saying your husband doesn't, but you need to ensure that he does. I'm sure you spoke to him first before you decided to leave you high paying job cause of the kids, and you guys talked about the risk you were taking together so this are one of the things that would have to suffer, if he thinks it's not good enough then you should go look for a high paying job and get a good nanny for the kids [I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want that] so speck to him about it because the best cure for marital issues is communication and prayers, so find a way to let him hear you and get him to stop comparing you with his friends cause the marriage is just between the two of you and not between you guys and his friends!! I'm sure he's not the most perfect husband so he should stop making you feel like you are not making any sacrifice for the home! My dear the one you are making is greater!!! You need to know that.[yop_poll id="217″]

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/3/2012 (1968 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Armed with three university degrees from India and years of teaching experience, the only job John Anchan could find when he arrived in Canada in 1987 was as a janitor mopping floors.
Today, he's the associate dean of education at the University of Winnipeg and reaching out to kids in India not reaching their potential.
"India has not given much focus to the at-risk kids falling through the cracks, but people are beginning to notice," said Anchan.
He just returned from Chennai, India where the U of W has launched the Lost Prizes program to help gifted and at-risk children missing out on an education.
Lost Prizes is the brainchild of his boss, education dean Ken McCluskey, who founded the program in the early '90s when he was working for the Lord Selkirk School Division.
He came up with a plan to reach out to talented, but at-risk high school dropouts using creative problem-solving techniques and raising their career awareness. He and special ed teachers in the Sunrise and Interlake school divisions helped young people figure out how to get from their current reality to "a desired future state."
The project was funded with provincial grants for innovation, and its success has since been picked up by schools in Manitoba and around the world.
McCluskey went to the U of W in 1998 and took the Lost Prizes know-how with him. Now the U of W trains students and faculty there and around the world to reclaim that lost human potential.
Eight education students from the U of W will do their practicum in Chennai this fall. Schools in India are paying for faculty from the U of W to train their teachers to implement Lost Prizes techniques.
Anchan said the idea resonates with people around the world who know that too much talent goes to waste.
A friend of his in Dubai gave 23 hectares of land in India for a school to be built in Mangalore for gifted kids who have not reached their potential.
The donor, who wants to remain anonymous, is a welder from India. He made a fortune in Dubai and now wants to give back, said Anchan, whose education contacts in India have opened doors for the U of W.
For Anchan, who's lived and worked in so many places at so many jobs, the rewards are profound.
"It definitely helps to leave the country and come back," he said. "It enriches the whole experience and that translates into making better teachers."
"While the job market is tight in Canada, there are all sorts of opportunities worldwide, " said McCluskey.
For the education students, a practicum in places such as India, Turkey, Thailand or Nigeria where Lost Prizes is catching on, is "transformative," said McCluskey.
"You learn a lot, and you become better global citizens."

Around 12:15 ET the $SPY diverged with conviction from the price of $TLT. Notice how this divergence was the precursor for the ES trading into 1523.50 highs.
The morning session saw prices upward though much all non directional chop came during the 1 hour from 11:15am till 12:15pm as TLT and SPY prices were touching each other.
|1 min SPY vs TLT – the triangle is convergence. hypotenuse is max divergence
Further divergence means higher prices for equities into the final hour…. what is troublesome to the upside thesis today is DX strength as the index is eyeing 2013 highs over 82. Dollar strength is causing CL to flop around like a dead fish.

Htc evo - HTC EVO 4G Gets Overclocked, Runs 30 Percent Faster | Laptop-DRV
Check it out
...And battery drains 30% faster.
Not really. With the over clock also come under clock so you can set better thresholds for when you get the boost.
So while gaming or doing intense tasks might drain faster every day use can see benefits.
Regardless after rooting and removing the bloat the battery goes a long way. Flashing a custom rom is also a huge improvement.
I bet he went from 30FPS to 30FPS.
It's fast enough for me the way it is.
what kinda crap are u doing on ur phone where it needs to be faster, it does everything you want it to, so i dont get it other than doing it just cuz ur bored i guess.
I don't see how you could know what I want my phone to do, but there are tons of people that like fiddling with things like this. They find it fun. This forum is full of them too, take a look around and you'll get it.
I wonder if overclocking would make my porn run smoother!
Wow. My porn already runs super smooth on my Evo.
Telling your wife >_>
Some people just like to tweak stuff and see what kind of performance they can get out of it. It is like the person that mods their Mustang until it has 700hp, but how often are you actually going to use that? It is just fun for some.
Also, these guys over at XDA are responsible for a lot of great things for this phone already and doing stuff like this only expands the capabilities of developers and in turn what you get to do with the phone.
Who do you think it is starring??

I love shape shifter stories because it's fascinating to me to imagine a creature who can appear human and then turn into a powerful beast, or other creature with all the attributes of that creature. I love to see the different worlds that authors come up with for these creatures to inhabit, it's always a lot of fun. :D

I SO adore shifter books!!! I think its because there is that primal, sexual thrall that falls over those involved with or are the shifters. Things become more wild than tame, less refined, which appeals to my baser needs. *grins*
When I read the first in this series, I was blown away. I insisted my oldest daughter read it and she TOO was blown away! We now both own the series. ;)

I love reading shifter romances because I just love the alpha males and seeing them trying to cope with their animal sides whike trying to romace a woman. Plus I just love the idea of a human turning into an animal and having those animal senses. Who wouldn't love that?

I've been waiting for this book to come out, I love this series. I love shifter stories because the author gets to take it in ways that just can't be done with realistic stories. Turning into an animal or acting like an animal just isn't done is let's say Historical romances. But in shifter type romances these characters get away with so much and I love it.

Once the crowds of the first few hours of boarding were dissipated throughout the ship, there were only a handful of times through the week where I was bothered by any crowding (as one might expect with 8000+ people on board), and there were plenty of spots on the ship where you could complete escape almost all human contact if you wanted. Sure, the elevators are an easy target for criticism following any major entertainment event, but my wife and I wound up taking the stairs almost the whole week, once we realized that the ship is a full-blown curated art gallery, with the stairwells being the primary gallery space. More
The maintenance of the ship is immaculate. You couldn't tell the ship had been inservice more than a month - I didn't see a single rust spot anywhere on the ship...no ripped carpet, no scratched wood panel...literally perfect. Same goes for our stateroom. Lots of room, balcony was great, room service was fantastic.
The food in the main dining room was totally satisfactory (I've read a few reviews from people disappointed with the food, and felt that they were being pushed to the 'pay' restaurants on board). I didn't find this to be the case...yes, you could find some really interesting dishes at the Sushi Restaurant, or Rita's Cantina, or the Steakhouse, but I never felt disappointed with any of the meals in the Adagio Main Dining room.
Entertainment was superb. As a musician, I have to say that the main showband was one of the tightest I'd ever heard, and both the Aqua Theatre and the main theatre had great offerings, well above what I was expecting, and only maybe one or two notches below a Vegas-level show.
Only disappointment the whole week was the selection and price of the Jamaica excursions...way too expensive, and not very interesting. I'd rather have stayed on board and just enjoyed a quiet day.
All in all, I really enjoyed the ship, and has given me interest to cruise again. Given that I figured this would be a one-time-thing to knock off a bucket-list, and someone who has travelled a lot, I'd say 'hat's-off' to RCLL and the Allure team. Less

Cabin review: D47270 Superior Outside View Stateroom with Balcony
7270 - location was great because it was only ever one floor away from Central Park, Boardwalk, Dining Room or Promenade. It was also right by the elevator / stair bank, so there was never a lot of walking. Great storage space, balcony was nice, very little noise.

Promotions are a great way to build your customer base, and get that feel good vibe about your company. Ecommerce solutions with ERP integration should have a promotions function within the feature set of your webstore. In Part 3 of our 12 part series – Ecommerce fundamentals 101 – we ask Brooke Anderson, MD, XM Developments, how to attract traffic and reward loyalty through the effective use of promotions.
Q: In general, are you better off discounting rather than being the cheapest?
A: The power of a discount psychology can never be underestimated. People teetering on purchasing will often be pulled across the line if it is 30% off. The perception of value is greater and subconsciously customers will 'perceive' the value of your product higher if they see a higher retail price. People will buy things they don't even really want to if it's 90% off!
Q: Is there an easy way to build loyalty and repeat purchases on your Sage Ecommerce store?
A: Sending out one-time use vouchers with an expiry date after the first purchase gets them back to your store within 30 days. The habit of using your online store can become engrained, and even if they don't purchase again, they will likely pass this onto a friend or family member rather than lose the perceived saving – otherwise it will seem a waste.
Q: How do you decide on what kind of vouchers to send?
A: It goes without saying but you obviously need to send relevant discounts. Don't send a voucher for 50% off for nappies to someone who bought a cordless drill. If they have purchased an item, use your Sage Ecommerce solution's "people who bought also bought" function in order to help decide what to send people.
Got to love that people who bought also bought feature!
Q: Aside from the functions within your Sage Payment solution, are there other ways you can source information which will help determine what kind of vouchers to send?
A: Google Analytics is an incredibly useful tool for this. Especially when it comes to understanding cart abandonment. You want to use the analytics data to see when (and hopefully why) your customer did not complete the sale. If they abandon the cart, send them an offer for a discount on what's in their cart, or maybe a high discount on one item where the margins are such that you can afford to offer 50% off one item. If they abandon on the shipment page, send them an offer for free shipping or 50% of shipping – or maybe an offer for free shipping if they spend over $200 etc. If they abandon at the payments page, maybe you need to offer payment alternatives? Consider PayPal, MoneyBookers or EFT payments as well. They may after all, not have a Credit Card.
Q: How important is your email strategy when it comes to communicating your promotions?
A: It's a hard one but you have to find that fine line between being relentless and being considerate. What's not in doubt though is that you don't abuse your customers' email inboxes. Make sure you have an offer or genuine news when they receive your email. Click through rates are more important than volume, and hit and miss unplanned marketing will result in a high opt out rate. You may get a sales spike in the beginning, but it will decline quickly if your emails are considered to be spammy.
Q: Are there other ways of getting your promo codes out there?
A: Part of the benefit of finding new "channels" to promote your promo codes is that that unpredictability often means a higher attention rate. Depending on your product, you may be able to use Snapchat, Vine, or Pinterest to get your promo codes out there to new audiences or to markets who use email less and less. A banner over a new product image on Pinterest, offer a discount on Vine verbally or on an image in the background. In short – be creative.
Q: Should you always use the same promo code across your different communication channels?
A: No. Even if your offer is the same across all your channels, vary the codes. Then you can see where the customer was directed. If you are offering 40% off a Milwaukee Cordless Drill, make the FaceBook code FBDRILLOFFER, Pinterest PTDRILLOFFER etc. Also vary paid advertising vs. organic. If you are paying for FaceBook Advertising one could be FBPDDRILLOFFER then you can measure where, who and how effective each channel is. You can even include traditional media such as billboards, print and radio in these offers. After a while, you may even be able to concentrate your marketing spend on where it matters.

Did I miss an announcement at some point? I try to make sure I keep up on everything that's going on with our genre, as hard a task as that can be sometimes, so I think I would remember a director being named for Vertigo Entertainment's upcoming remake of Shutter. Maybe I'm just taking way too many drugs.
Anyway, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Infection and Parasite Eve helmer Masayuki Ochiai is in the director's chair for the redux, which follows an American couple on their honeymoon in Tokyo when mysterious figures start showing up in all their photos and soon seep into the real world as well.
The trade also mentioned that See No Evil/Man-Thing starlet Rachael Taylor (whom you'll also see in this summer's Transformers) has jumped on board as the new wife, likely terrified beyond her wits. Though how ghosts could be scarier than Man-Thing I'll never know.
Tartan will be be releasing the original Shutter on DVD come March 27th; click here to pre-order it through Evilshop! Shooting on the remake is expected to begin in Tokyo next month so stay tuned for more as we learn it!

(9) Visualizing Sudan: Political Bargaining
After the end of the oil rents, it has become much more complex… and much more like the 1990s. President Bashir has to bargain both with those making demands on his resources (the Islamists, the Ministry of Defense, and armed rebels) but also with financiers (Qatar, Saudi Arabia, military industries, the government's financial institutions).
This is not an auspicious context in which to make peace…Continue Reading →
(8) Visualizing Sudan: The Budget Crunch
More important for President Omar al Bashir than the shortage of money is the fact that the squeeze is where it hurts him most: the discretionary budget available for him as ruler. How does he obtain his "political budget" necessary to stay in power? That is the topic of the next (penultimate) post.Continue Reading →

There's a cycle of violence in the Sudanese peripheries. This post looks at Darfur. In the first phase of the cycle, there is an extremely violent contest between two contending forces.

In the figures in the previous post, the level of defense spending is shown. It rises but not as much as the overall government spending, and hardly at all as a percentage of GDP.

A friend of the family would like a cake for an informal, small wedding (25 people). The one she picked out online is just three tiers iced in buttercream with silver dragees on the sides (they're more dense toward the bottom of the tier and 'thinner' toward the top). I'm new to dragees though and from what I've read, you're not even supposed to eat them. I'd be interested to hear from those who've used them. Are they actually edible, or do you scrape them off or something before serving?
Thanks so much,
See this thread:
It seems those of us who have pretty much ingested our own body weight in dragees over the years are still alive and kicking ! The worst thing they might do to you is chip a tooth if you have weak teeth IMHO!
If you mean the small round bead-like dragées, they aren't very nice to eat. The oblong ones are much better and in France, dragées are usually offered on weddings or christenings and silver or gold dragées ( much more expensive than the others) are quite good.You needn't worry !
if the dagrees are sitting on butter cream, they will go softer anyway. i love them, even when rock hard!

Single Arm NCRI Feasibility Study of CHOP in Combination With Ofatumumab in Induction and Maintenance for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Richter's Syndrome
Richter's Syndrome (RS) is a high-grade transformation that occurs in 5-15% of patients with
B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL). RS is a complication of B-CLL in which the
leukemia changes into a fast-growing diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The pathogenesis
(mechanism by which the disease is caused) of RS is poorly understood and predictors of
transformation and response to treatment are unknown. Management of RS remains
unsatisfactory; the mean overall survival of patients treated with conventional
chemo-immunotherapy such as CHOP-R is 8 months from the end of treatment.
CHOP is the acronym for a chemotherapy regimen, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin
(doxorubicin), Oncovin (vincristine), and prednisone/prednisolone) and the R stands for the
monoclonal antibody, Rituximab. Ofatumumab, a next generation monoclonal anti CD20 antibody,
has proven single agent activity in relapsed/refractory B-CLL and other non-Hodgkin
lymphomas. In addition, it has shown a favourable safety profile in the maintenance setting.
Therefore, we propose to evaluate Ofatumumab in combination with CHOP in induction and
maintenance treatment of patients with RS.
The primary objective of the study will be to evaluate overall response rate (ORR) to CHOP-O
(CHOP chemotherapy plus Ofatumumab) according to the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant
Lymphoma (Cheson).
Secondary objectives will be feasibility of recruitment, progression free survival and
overall survival, the clinical benefit and changes in patient reported outcome measures,
safety and tolerability.
This is a multi-centre non-randomised Phase II National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI)
feasibility study in 35 patients with newly diagnosed Richter's Syndrome in the UK. CHOP-O
will be given for six cycles followed by six cycles of Ofatumumab maintenance treatment
every eight weeks and a three months follow-up period. The total duration of recruitment
will be 24 months starting from the opening of the first site.
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Objective response
Objective response as defined by the revised response criteria for malignant lymphoma (Cheson et al, JCO, Vol 25, No 5, 2007). Patients will be classified as responders/non-responders as follows: complete remission (CR), nodular partial remission (nPR) and partial remission (PR) are classified as responders; while stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD) are classified as non-responders. Non-evaluable patients will be classified as non-responders.

Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha
Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha
A stunning landmark in a horizon famous for architectural masterpieces designed by famous architect Oscar Niemeyer. Man Garrincha National Stadium, in the city's central area,, became the country's second largest soccer and multi purpose arena when it reopened on May 18, 2013. Only the Maracan is larger.
More than 1M spectators have been to the arena since it was reopened in May 2013, according to the official site.
The latest report also says that Man Garrincha broke a record for the tournament, with an attendance of 69,112 on June 25 for the Brazil v. Cameroon match.
Neymar reached a milestone on that same day, as the top scorer in the World Cup and in the new The 100th goal in the tournament was scored by the star on the 100th game played by the Brazilian national team in the history of FIFA World Cups. Brazil has accumulated 13 goals at the stadium since its reopening.
Named after soccer star Manuel Francisco dos Santos, known as Man Garrincha (1933 1983), the stadium with 288 columns standing at a height of 36 meters each and covered seats in shades of red is part of the Ayrton Senna sports complex, which includes a racetrack.
Among the arena's features are 8,000 parking spaces, more than 2,800 press seats, over 70 suites, space for 56 eateries, a convention center and a cinema.
The state of the art roof is covered by a self cleaning membrane which is fire resistant and reflects UV rays. It allows for the collection of rainwater, which, filtered and treated, can be used in the stadium's toilets and in the watering of the Bermuda grass on the pitch.
The original arena, first opened in 1975, was torn down and rebuilt. All the demolition material was recycled, either for use in the construction of the new arena or by local recycling cooperatives.
A Travel Guide to Brazil for World Cup Visitors
A Travel Guide to Brazil for World Cup Visitors
Learn what it is like in Brazil so your trip to the World Cup is safe and enjoyable. Find out the local customs, what food you will be eating and how to get around. Taxi drivers know all the short cuts but watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Always catch a moving taxi, not a parked one and know the address you are going to, Make sure they use the meter and you know what the charges are. Taxi drivers in Rio can normally be trusted, but stay alert.
You probably should not rent a car and drive in the city, especially if it is your first trip there. Tourist vans can be good and the subways are nice, but have limited coverage. There is much African and European influences that can vary considerably in the different areas. Feijoada is considered the national dish of Brazil.
For those not that adventurous many restaurants offer food that is similar to what you are use to. Since you are there you may as well try some of the traditional dishes of the different regions. You might find something you think is really wonderful and much different than anything you ever had. They are use to more touching and move into closer proximity than you may be use to.
When talking to or being approached by a native Brazilian you should give into their way of doing things. If you try to do things the way it is done in America they may get slightly insulted or at least not like you. So do not back away and make eye contact when appropriate. The more you know about Rio de Janeiro the better your experience will be. This travel guide should help you have a safer and more enjoyable trip with some great memories to take back home.

No calorie sweeteners or artificial sweeteners have no carbs and no calories. Brands you are familiar with are Sweet 'N Low, Sugar Twin, Equal, NutraSweet, Fruit-Sweetness, Truvia, and Splenda. Their chemical or generic names are saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, stevia, luo han guo, and acesulfame-K. All have been approved for use by the FDA and most have an established ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake), the amount a person can consume safely over a lifetime without risk. Yet, all are regularly haunted by some scary tales that read like the latest horror flick.
Saccharin (Sweet 'N Low, Sugar Twin), which has been around for over 120 years was accused of causing cancer in laboratory animals in the 1970s. The FDA initiated steps to ban saccharin from our food supply but after a public outcry they decided on a warning label instead which stayed on all products containing saccharin for the next 20 years. In 2000, the National Institutes of Health removed saccharin from their list of cancer causing substances and the requirement for the warning label was lifted because additional research on animals and thousands of people showed no evidence that saccharin increases the risk for cancer.
Aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet), is found in the little blue packets on restaurant tables and became the sweetener of choice when saccharin fell out of favor. It has been blamed for everything imaginable but most notably headaches. What is most interesting about aspartame is that it is a derivative of two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine. These are protein fragments that are common in many protein foods we eat and the body easily handles them.
Aspartame does not accumulate in the body and the ADI (set at 50 milligrams per kilogram of body weight) is impossible to reach eating normally. You would need to drink 15 (12 ounce) cans of soda, or eat 42 (4 ounce) servings of diet gelatin, or use 91 packets of Equal daily. Even heavy users are estimated to get no more that 6% of the ADI daily.
People with a rare genetic disorder called PKU (phyenlketonuria), which is diagnosed in the first few days after birth, must avoid aspartame because they are unable to breakdown phenylalanine, half of the aspartame compound. For this reason, all foods containing aspartame must carry the warning label: "Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine." This warning is specific to a small group of people, not a general caution for the public at large.
Sucralose (Splenda) approved by the FDA in 1999, is the sugar substitute that has ignited the least controversy. More than 110 studies conducted over 20 years have shown no problems. No restrictions are suggested, even for pregnant and nursing women. Sucralose is made by slightly altering the sugar molecule so that the body does not recognize it and it passes through the intestinal tract undigested.
Acesulfame K (Sunette, Sweet One) was approved by the FDA in 1988. It too, is not broken down by the body, so it is eliminated without providing calories. Acesulfame-K has been approved for use in almost 90 countries, and the FDA expanded its scope of use in 2003.
Newest among the no calories sweeteners are the plant based sweeteners stevia and monk fruit. Monk fruit (luo han guo) is a powdered concentrate from a plant grown in China that is part of the cucumber or melon family. It is 150 times sweeter than sugar. Stevia (Truvia) comes from the sweet tasting leaves of a shrub in the chrysanthemum family. It is often combined with erythritol (a low calorie sugar substitute) when used as a tabletop substitute for granulated sugar.
There are many reasons why someone would use no calorie sweeteners. For a person with diabetes or a dieter it allows you to eat foods you might otherwise not. For someone who loves overly sweet cereal or coffee, you get that option without the calories. For most of us, some food we eat regularly, especially diet soda and "light" versions of ice cream, yogurt or fruit drinks will contain no calorie sweeteners. Is this exposure safe? By and large, yes and the risk to any one person, with normal use, is tiny.
