[RS] The Celebration (1998) DVDRip XviD
Language: Danish (English hardsubs)
Country: Denmark
Genre: Comedy | Crime | Drama | Romance
Director: Thomas Vinterberg
Starring: Ulrich Thomsen, Henning Moritzen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Paprika Steen
Synopsis: This Danish comedy drama won the Jury Prize at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. It opens in rural Denmark as family members assemble for the 60th birthday celebration of patriarch Helge (Henning Moritzen). At the family estate are Helge's children: France-based restaurateur Christian (Ulrich Thomsen), whose twin sister killed herself; surviving sister Helene (Paprika Steen); and younger brother Michael (Thomas Bo Larsen), married with three children. At the birthday dinner, the bitter Christian stands to deliver a toast -- but instead makes a startling speech accusing Helge of sexual abuse involving both twins. Following principles outlined in 1995 by Danish fimmakers in their Dogme 95 proclamation, this film adheres to their manifesto guidelines of handheld cameras, direct sound, location filming, and the elimination of technical tricks.

3 Mistakes People Make When Buying Real Estate
I hear it all the time from people that they want the best price or negotiate the best price. To me price doesn't really matter. What you really need to be looking for when you are doing an evaluation to be able to purchase a property is the cash flow.
Do the numbers make sense! What that means is that you want to look at all the expenses: Mortgages, cost of insurance, taxes, maintenance and property management. All those costs associated with owning a rental.
Now you want to look at the rental income, how much rents are you getting for the properties? Let's say you look at a property that is listed at $400,000.00 and now lets say you have a similar property in a different neighborhood listed at $350,000.00. They are both 4-plexes and both have similar structures and the difference is the location. I'm sure you have heard of this saying that Real Estate is location, location, location and that is definitely a factor.
If the property that is $400.000.00 maybe the rents are higher and obviously there are more costs and expenses associated with it because it is a higher priced property and therefore the mortgage on that property would be more expensive. Or it could be a new property and that could be why it's more expensive. Whereas, the $350,000.00 one you might think you are getting a deal because it's the same, it's a 4-plex and the rents might even be close, but if the expenses are higher than the net cash flow is going to be less.
So the thing to look for when evaluating a property is do not look at price but at cash flow. When I say cash flow I am also talking about long term expenses. If that $400,000.00 property was 10 years old and that $350,000.00 home was 50 years old there would be a lot more costs associated to that $350,000.00 property over the long run, so don't just look at price.
Interest Rate
People think that in order for them to buy a property they need/want the best interest rate. I hear it all the time, let's say I can get them a mortgage for 4%, they will say "Oh no that is too expensive I heard of a guy who can get it for 3.97." Sure you can shop those prices around and catch your 0 .03%.
What is important when you are trying to get financing is you want to go to someone who you trust and knows what they are doing. Also, the cost of money is not as important as the availability of money. What that means is you may think your interest rate on that loan is so high because its 4% and you were really looking at 2.5% and you take that 4%.
I mean I have one property at 11% on a first mortgage and that thing cash flows like crazy. But it was a deal the owner took back 100% loan to value and I was really happy to pay that 11% because I make about $400.00 a door on that property that is a duplex.
So again, the second thing to look at when evaluating a property is don't get caught up in the interest rate of the loans that you are looking at.
Now it's time to look at your tenants. A lot of people get worried and scared that they will start running into vacancies. So they start interviewing tenants and they get scared that they are carrying the property so they start to ease up on their requirements on qualifying a tenant. Worst thing you can do.
I have had properties that took me 3-6 months to get rid of a tenant. An empty unit is much better than a unit with a bad tenant. That is a very important statement. Don't get hung up on negative cash flow and you end up putting someone in there that just ends up being a big headache. On the surface sure, it looks good because you are cash flowing because you have that tenant. However, if they are in there and destroying the place or start paying the hassle and damage is harder to your cash flow.
Due your due diligence on your tenant, make sure that you have a good tenant in there that is paying and that has a good credit history or at least good rental history. Do your evaluation properly so you don't give up your unit to a bad tenant that in the end will cost you more.

Narrowing down the top 10 newsmakers of the year is not an easy process. No two people can agree on who or what should comprise the top 10, let alone in what order they should be ranked.Story 10: FedEx Cup Excitement
In an effort to accomplish such an endeavor, GolfChannel.com employed the services of its golf writers, producers and editors, as well as some of Golf Channel's on-air analysts and reporters. Each person listed their top 15 newsmakers of the 2010 golf season, using a system in which 15 points were awarded to each No. 1 story and 1 point to No. 15.
For the remainder of the year, GolfChannel.com will reveal the top 10 newsmakers of the year as voted on by its staff and contributors.
What is a newsmaker? It can be a person, an event, a series of related items. It's anything or anyone who grabbed our attention in 2010 and made us take notice, for better or worse.
Some of those just missing the cut included: the repeated low scores in the world of golf, from one 58 to multiple 59s; the continued sagging economy; parity on the PGA Tour and a revitalizing season on the Champions Tour.
As for the stories that made the top 10, they are as follows:
Story 9: Grooves Debate
Story 8: Youth Movement
Story 7: Erica Blasberg's Death
Story 6: Lorena Ochoa's Retirement
Story 5: Phil Mickelson's Season
Story 4: European Tour Dominance
Story 3: The Ryder Cup

Holosiyivsky park named to Maxim Rylsky located in the southern part of the city of Kyiv. This is Holosiyivskyy district, area Holoseev. The park stretches along the avenue of 40 years of October.
The park is laid back in 1957 in the northern part of the famous Goloseevskyi forest. Later it was turned into a memorial garden art that is of national importance. The decision approved the decision of the Council of Ministers of the USSR in January 29, 1960and was subsequently restated in Resolution Board of the USSR State Committee on August 30, 1990
Golosiivskiy park covers an area of over 140 hectares. This decrepit remnant natural forest, which in ancient times were surrounded on the south side of town. Park differs strongly dissected relief. Compositional axis of the park - a cascade of four beautiful lakes, the area is - 6 acres. Bets are placed along the valleys brook Orihuvatka (or Horihuvatka). Lower rates (about Golosiyivska area) has boat station. Holosiyivsky Park delights visitors with numerous towns rides, playgrounds, cafes, restaurants, and what not.
In 1964, the park received its name of the great Ukrainian poet and translator Maxim Rylsky, living close – during 1951-1964 writer's house was next to a park. In particular, in 1959 he even published a collection of poems Rylsky "Holosiivska fall." Today, this street was named in his honor. In 2003, near the main entrance to the para was unveiled a monument to Maxim Rylsky (authors of the monument were an architect and sculptor A. Stukalov, P. Ostapenko).
During the Second World War, the territory of the forest were Goloseevska line of Kyiv defense. In 1965, its territory is a monument to fallen in 1941, members of defense. The monument looks like a granite stele.
Composition of park vegetation pleases the many rare species that are protected not only at the regional and state levels, but even internationally. The park boasts one species of plants from European Red List, five species of Annex I to the Bern Convention, seventeen species of the second edition of the Ukrainian Red Book and over two dozen species from the list of those protected in Kyiv. It also found there about ten species of rare animals.
The main purpose of the park - the conservation and sustainable use of natural objects and complexes of northern steppes.

Do you ever find yourself walking around thinking, "What the heck is a term length?"
Probably not.
However, if you're in the market for a life insurance policy, that question will come up at some point. You will soon have more questions when you realize that life insurance term lengths come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
No need to fret, though. Finding the right term length for your financial situation is actually pretty easy with all the online tools available.
If you'd like to go the quick and simple route, you can try our life insurance calculator. Based on your needs, it will offer a recommendation for your policy amount and term length.
Life insurance isn't one-size-fits-all. Find out how much coverage you really need.
If you want a deeper understanding of what goes into determining the right term length for you, we respect that. And, as avid online researchers ourselves, we'll give you a more thorough explanation.
First, let's start with some basics.
What You NEED to Understand About Term Life Insurance
Overall, life insurance helps ensure that your family would be financially secure if you died. In an ideal world, you'd know it's there, but never need to use it – much like a good emergency fund, or that fancy china you really needed to put on your wedding registry but hate cleaning.
Term life insurance, which is what we sell, is one of the least expensive types of life insurance out there. It offers you the ability to choose coverage for a set number of years, with most insurers providing term lengths of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years. As long as you keep up with your premium payments, you're covered for that many years.
Choosing a Term Length
The right coverage and term length for you and your loved ones depends on a few key financial factors. When choosing a life insurance term length, you need to consider the following:
What is your financial situation?
Do you have a mortgage, student loans, or any significant debt that would fall to your loved ones?
Does your partner work, or does he or she rely on you as the breadwinner?
If you identify with any of the above scenarios, it's important to consider how much longer you'll have these financial obligations (not to call your husband a financial obligation, of course) and which policy length would give you ample time to pay off the debt.
The best rule of thumb is to secure a term length that won't end before the debt is paid off. For example, if your mortgage is for 25 years, don't get 20 or 25 years of life insurance — consider a 30-year life insurance term length in case you have to extend your mortgage due to unexpected tough times.
Similarly, if you're only a year or two away from paying off your debt (congratulations!), consider a shorter 10 year term length to help you transition into a stable financial situation.
If you have no debt, no dependents, and extensive savings already in place, you may not even need life insurance. Yes, we said it, you may not need life insurance… yet.
What are the needs of your dependents?
How much income would your dependents need if you're not around? We'll give you a hint and tell you the rule of thumb is at least 6 to 10 times your annual salary.
If you have children, think about what your children will financially need until they are adults. Childcare, tuition, and other educational expenses are often at the top of that list. If you're nodding your head to all of those, and your kids are under 10 years old, then you likely need at least a 20-year term length cover them until they are no longer relying on your income.
Don't forget that "dependents" isn't limited to just your kids. A non-working spouse or an elderly parent you care for are also dependents to consider. Ask yourself if your spouse will be able to cover their day-to-day living expenses, or if your elderly relative, will be financially secure on their own.
Considering all of your dependents' financial needs will help you determine how many years of coverage you need to help keep them protected.
What Next?
As you can see, there is quite a bit to consider when determining the right term length for you. Fortunately, technology makes it A LOT easier to come upon an informed decision.
Let's use it to your advantage.
Use our life insurance calculator to receive a recommended policy amount, term length and find out how much it'll cost you per month. From there, you can get covered in about 20 minutes, should you choose to go with the Haven Term* policy.
Then, you can just get back to your regularly scheduled life.
Learning about life insurance shouldn't kill you. Master the basics in minutes.

guys, can you really just have sex without having any feeling for a girl you have been hanging out/having a fun time with after 3 dates?
do guys really not have any emotion when it comes to sex? is it just something you do, and not feel?
Most Helpful Guy
Depends on the guy, I personally can't have sex with a girl I don't love, I suppose I could if I really wanted to, but it's just not the kind of man I want to be. It would be a temptation I'd try to avoid, it's just not who I am.
But I'm in the minority.10|10|0
I agree with this guy completely. What's the point in just having sex just to get off? Been there done that and its not really worth it. Cause in the end she might end up having feelings and he won't and it just end up with trouble. Sex is so much better when there's emotion behind it in my opinion
Most guys aren't like western but that's how I am at least I've had a few times where a girl has wanted to to go all the way with her but I just told her it just didn't feel like the emotion was there just the physical aspect and that wasn't the kinda relationship I wanted with her
I agree you're in the minority lol

It has been so exciting to see the Growing MedFT blog take root
over the last several months (Unbearably cheesy? Just go with it.)! Especially
of interest to me are the stories of personal connection to Medical Family
Therapy that the last several writers have shared... isn't that what attracts
many of us to this work in the first place? Understanding what people have been
through and how this connects with who they are today? In her post on staying
compassionate and open in a field where our tendency is to want to protect
ourselves, Jackie questions whether or not we give enough attention to "recounting...
health history and its impact on ourselves and our loved ones." These illness
narratives, as they are called, really matter.
I first began thinking about these issues before I went into the
field of therapy, when I was working as a nurse at a small hospital in Oregon.
During this time, my mom and brother were hit by a drunk driver in a collision
that caused my mom to be permanently crippled in one foot. Our family
reorganized completely, with me taking several weeks off of work to be with my
mom while she underwent multiple reconstructive surgeries. What a strange
feeling that was, to be on the other side of the healthcare system. We, the
family, were essentially unnoticed by the medical teams and although our
friends offered support (especially during those first few weeks), I remember
feeling very much alone.
Somehow we've come to see healthcare providers as being immune
to these experiences. They are seen as the unaffected givers of care; not out
of choice, but out of necessity. In our medical simulation lab at Loma Linda
University, we have piloted a reflecting team approach to providing feedback to
residents who work at creating compassionate ways of giving bad news to
patients' families. It has not been unusual to see the doctors and nurses fight
back tears. Memories of their own losses surface and they reflect back on these
as they review their reactions to the actors whose "family member" is dying.
They report that no one has ever really taken notice or appreciated the care
with which they try to face the implications of this all to frequent
What is our job as Medical Family Therapists in all of this? To
begin, we must start to address the intersection of healthcare professionals'
own experiences with illness and the burden of providing constant care to
others. One of the physicians I work with says, "I just wish people would
recognize that this isn't easy... I go home some days and can hardly face
coming back. No one seems to know that emotionally, this work is really
difficult." Addressing what is often un-recognized must be more than a passing
thought for us; it is our responsibility. Our ability to be witnesses to these
experiences, to sit with physicians and nurses in their moments of pain, and to
acknowledge what they have lost generates hope: the greatest gift that we can
Lindsey Lawson is a
second-year PhD MFT student at Loma Linda University and works at the Loma
Linda Medical Center as a Medical Family Therapist. She has spent the last year
working on a qualitative, grounded theory study in which she is interviewing
nurses and nursing students about their personal experiences with illness and
the way that these experiences impact their views of family-focused healthcare
and wellness.

Guys: what are your favorite ways to be turned on by a girl while you are dancing at a club? When I go out clubbing, I don't want to look or act like a slut, by grinding a guy like the freakin' energizer bunny (I have actually seen this on the dance floor) but I do want to turn on the guys I am dancing with. The most natural thing that comes to me is to rub the guy's arms so I can feel his muscles and make him feel more masculine and me more feminine. I want to know what other things turn guys on in a good way ?
Non-dirty ways to turn on a guy while dancing?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
What your doing is more towards building rapport and not creating attraction. If you wanna get that guy chasing you- you will have to think outside the box and try things that risk your thoughts.
When I think of what turns me on at a dance floor, it's the stereotypical slut- Go watch stomp the yard and get an idea of the styles you could dance like and still be considered within an "Art" range- rather than like some of these girls that are just looking for a FWB.
There are many styles of dancing, choose one that works and then pursue that style. My personal favorite is to cross the "slut style" with a more respectful dance that is in an art form, like latin dancing.
So you got the slutty-latin dancer and you're wanting to turn on the guys- be outgoing. It's not like you both are stripped down to your underwear and getting it on in the middle of the dance floor, it's about making that guy crave you (for the ladies) or making the woman chase you (for the guys).
It's all in honest fun- so there is no reason to assume your a slut or otherwise.
(P.s. dancing in the manor depicted above, will also give you one hell of a work out)
Best regards,
What Girls Said 1
In my opinion: most, not all, men are only attracted to a female at a bar for one thing... to get her drunk and get laid. Don't put yourself out there in any type of "slutty" way. This will only get the guys hot and bothered and think "just a few more drinks and she won't say no". Don't TRY to attract men at the bar. Have fun, do what you do... and if he's a respectable guy, he will respect the fact that you aren't "throwing" yourself out there.00|00|0
P.S. I'm a frequent bar goer and go with a lot of male friends... and the females you have referred to, I have seen plenty myself... they get a lot of attention from the men... but not the attention a respectable woman would be proud of the next day.

Confidence in job market declines as compared to 2015
Alexandria, Virginia – Many HR professionals are reporting that their organizations' financial health is strong and few expected job cuts in the latter half of 2016, despite a decline in confidence in the job market, according to the new Jobs Outlook Survey by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
More than four out of five HR professionals (83 percent) had positive views of their organizations' financial health.
Also, 37 percent of respondents overall expected hiring to occur at their organizations. Large companies (between 2,500 and 9,999 employees) were the most likely to say they were adding jobs (40 percent of those surveyed) in the second half of 2016. While, 7 percent of respondents said their organizations would conduct layoffs during the second half of 2016.
However, the report also indicates that confidence in the job market has fallen among HR professionals compared with a year ago.
"HR professionals have a strategic insight into labor market conditions because of their key role in the hiring process," said Jen Schramm, SHRM's manager of workforce trends. "While 58 percent of respondents had some level of confidence in the U.S. job market, this is down from last year. However, most say that their organizations' finances are in good shape and few are expecting job cuts in their organizations as we round out 2016."
SHRM's report is based on a survey of 502 public- and private-sector human resource professionals who have a role in staffing decisions. Survey respondents represent all sizes of companies in the United States.
A summary of the findings and past surveys are available online at https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/trends-and-forecasting/labor-market-and-economic-data/Pages/Jobs-Outlook-Survey-2016.aspx.

What It's Like to Have a Panic Attack While You Preach
I don't talk about it much but I struggle with depression and anxiety. I have for a long time. Sometimes it seems like no big deal, sometimes it is a very big deal. For the most part, I am fortunate as I know many people have struggles much worse than mine.
One of the ways my struggles like to show up once in awhile is with panic attacks. I don't really like the term panic attack, there is something about the term that I have never really been comfortable with. But that is what they are, panic attacks. There is no reason for them, but they happen sometimes. Sometimes I do have provoked anxiety attacks but more often than not, there is no reason for me to be feeling what I am feeling.
I have been fortunate for the most part that these attacks have shown up when no one else is around and nothing significant is happening. Usually I'm in bed, or just getting ready for the day.
That is usually, but there was one time it was different.
One time the ugly monster of panic overwhelmed me just before I was about to preach.

Question about Ativan and Ambien
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
Ron, In my opinion 4mg is a lot of ativan. I take 1mg to help me sleep at night and 10m of ambien also. To take medicine to got to sleep during the day is not healthy. It's drug misuse. I took .5 mg 2x's per day (of ativan) but my doctor cut me off cuz it was addicting.

This weekend marked the release of Deepin Linux 2014 along with the Deepin Desktop Environment 2.0 release that's powered using HTML5. In my testing of the release today, it's been working fairly well and is proving to be quite interesting.
Enlightenment is flying high these days with the great contributions being done by Samsung's investment into the project.
The Enlightenment E19 release is one step closer to being officially realized!
The "LXQt" desktop that's a Qt version of the lightweight LXDE desktop can now be compiled using Qt5 where as previously there were still Qt4 dependencies.
A easy-to-use, graphically-driven theme editor for Enlightenment's EFL Edje is under development.
Enlightenment E19 is moving closer to release following the E19 Alpha earlier this month.
The latest addition to the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries is Elua, a Lua-based Just-in-Time application runtime stack.
Enlightenment 0.19 Alpha was just tagged as the very latest desktop / window manager work that includes improved Wayland support for E19.
Linux Mint 17 "Qiana" is now available for download while we're still waiting for the official announcement.
For Enlightenment users out there wishing to stick to the latest versions, the 1.10 release of the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries is now available.
In a craftily-worded blog post, there's signals of the Enlightenment E19 desktop / window manager release coming soon.
The Gentoo-based Sabayon Linux distribution is out with its latest monthly update.
The first release of LXQT is now available that's the Qt port of the lightweight LXDE desktop environment while paired with Razor-qt.
For Phoronix readers running Gentoo Linux, you can now easily install the MATE 1.8 GNOME2-forked desktop environment.
The Evas display canvas API to the Enlightenment project now has support for dealing with ETC2 texture compression.
Taking place earlier this month in Nürnberg at the SUSE office was the 2014 FreeDesktop Summit where members of GNOME, KDE, Unity, and LXDE-Qt desktops collaborated over joint topics important to the success of the Linux desktop in a cross-desktop world.
For those users of Enlightenment out there, there's new stable release updates out today.
The Linux Mint's Cinnamon desktop project has graduated to version 2.2 and it's a very large update for this GNOME3-forked environment.
An individual has been doing a lot of benchmarks recently from various lightweight window managers ranging from Openbox to Fvwm2 to Fluxbox with Compton and Awesome and Cairo-compmgr.
Enlightenment's been working on native DRM support for its libraries in order for Enlightenment to serve as its own Wayland compositor by talking directly to the Direct Rendering Manager drivers controlling the graphics hardware. Besides serving as a Wayland compositor, Enlightenment's apps based on Elementary can now be run directly on the DRM itself.
As expected the Enlightenment 0.19 release features full support for Wayland, down to serving as its own compositor and running directly off the DRM graphics device.
Enlightenment's Ecore library now has support for interfacing with the kernel's Direct Rendering Manager drivers.
After nearly one year of development, MATE 1.8 has been released as the latest version of its GNOME2-forked desktop.
The newest component to the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL) is Eolian, an EO object parser and C code generator.
The Enlightenment Foundation Libraries' Evas canvas library now has a DRM engine for interfacing directly with the Linux kernel's Direct Rendering Manager drivers.
We now have a more concise view of the features and improvements to be found in the upcoming 1.9 releases of Enlightenment's core libraries.
The "Tiling2" branch of Enlightenment has now been merged into core, which provides major tiling improvements to the window manager.
The latest beta is now out for the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries.
Just one week after the Enlightenment 1.9 alpha series surfaced, the 1.9.0-beta1 pre-release is now available for users of the lightweight Enlightenment window manager / desktop.
For months now David Herrmann has been working on a new project known as OpenWFD for open-source WiFi displays on Linux. OpenWFD is an open-source implementation of the WiFi Display Standard / Miracast. That work is now showing success and as part of that Herrmann has just announced Miraclecast as a component to providing open-source Miracast/WFD support on the Linux desktop.

Million Dollar Monday
Back in July, we wrote about the Samsung 102-inch Plasma TV that was soon to be de-throned by Panasonic with their 103″ display. There seems to be no limit as to just how big these TVs will get. Today we're going to step away from the plasma displays and take a look at LG's 100 inch LCD display that has officially been given the title of "World's Largest LCD" and will be featured in the Guinness Book of World Records 2007.
More recently, the largest displays ever made have only been at the electronics shows for people to ooh and ahh over. Now, you just might be able to see the LG 100 inch display in person! According to Luxury Launches, it is set for mass production. What's the price you ask? Well, considering the production cost alone is over $150,000, expect the retail price to be well over that. How quickly could you make room for 100 inches of LCD and a six-figure price tag?
Here are the specs:
- 3,000:1 contrast ratio
- 92% color reproduction
- 6.6 feet across/ 3.6 feet high
- Capability to produce 1.07 billion colors
- 6.22 million-pixel picture quality
So for now, LG will wear the crown for largest LCD display. In the world of TVs where bigger seems to be better, I imagine it won't be long before the title is passed on to someone else. In the meantime, can you just imagine what it would be like to clear 6 1/2 feet of space for a TV?

Insights from SMX Israel 2014
This year's SMX Israel was chock-full of information about SEO, social media and PPC. Most of the sessions I attended dealt with ways to create great online content and distribute it widely.
One of the best lines of the conference was coined by Laura Ben-David of LBD Creative, who said "Content is king, but the queen is context." It's not just about writing good content, it's about writing content that's relevant to your audience. It's about choosing the right social media channels for a specific piece of content and writing the blurbs to attract that particular audience.
Ashley Tate continued the theme of writing for your audience when she talked about creating audience personas. By this, she meant that you should think about the different types of audiences you have so you… Continue reading
SMX Israel is the country's most well-known SEO conference. This year it took place at the Inbal Hotel on January 6. There were many dynamic and exciting speakers and some important information imparted.
Kahena Digital has already written about the more technical SEO lessons learned at this year's SMX Israel, so I would like to share some of the social media lessons:
- Gil Reich talked about the dangers of looking like a content scraping site even if you aren't one. He advised web designers and developers to invest in making sure the site design reflects its quality content.
- Jon Burg suggested that if you are tweeting for a company and customer complaints come through Twitter, don't present it as a problem. This will… Continue reading
Yesterday, J-Town Productions hosted its monthly Jerusalem Web Professionals (JWP) seminar. This seminar focused on Advanced SEO Tactics. The presenters at this seminar, Gab Goldenberg, Mark Ginsberg and David Miles are leaders in the field and their experience and knowledge boosted the morning's rankings.
Gab Goldbenberg
Author of Advanced SEO tactics, challenged the audience to reimagine how we approach SEO strategy. His main ideas were based on incorporating critical thinking and problem solving techniques into the overall SEO equation.
Gab's 5 step process of critical thinking:
- Gather Information
- Define the Problem
- Research Existing Solutions
- Questioning the Logic
- Make a decision
These tactics seem almost irrelevant to the novice SEO professional or even those with more experience, but Gab's basic assumption was that SEO, like all problems, should be approached critically. Simply attempting to rewrite or bypass the… Continue reading
Conferences are always a lot of fun. Between the networking, the food and the professional advancement, you should go home feeling like your time was well-spent. And I did feel that way at the end of Sunday's SMX Israel. I wish I could have been in two places at once during some of the sessions, since there were so many interesting topics. Some of the presenters were stand-up comics as well as SEO professionals (shout-out to Miriam Schwab and Michael King), so there was plenty to laugh about while learning. Another great presentation was Gil Reich's talk on Google trends, focusing not on Google today but on where it is going (and thanks for the ride!).
Here are some of the things I learned or thought were especially important at SMX Israel:

PROFITS GCV is an IT service provider.
seems like 2 possible issues:
1 : you are losing network connectivity during transfer
2 : you have bad media in your device
I would first start checking other (new) tapes and maybe do a big file transfer from your exchange server to your backupserve and see if you lose connectivity
Oct 31, 2009 at 9:57 UTC
I dont think it is #2 as I have tried numerous tapes. This is a VM and I have done backups of other VMs on the same host, so it cant be physical network. How can I test to see if it is other network issues?
Oct 31, 2009 at 10:59 UTC
PROFITS GCV is an IT service provider.
did you already run live update until there were no more updates ?
Nov 2, 2009 at 4:06 UTC
Yes I did.
What is strange is that BE is running on the host, and the exchange server is a guest on that host.

I was sitting in my recliner the other day watching TV, when my Cat, Harper, jumped up on the arm of the chair, and started purring. This was his normal signal that he wanted to be petted. I don't know about your cat, but Harper has, not only a specific time-frame of approximately thirty seconds for petting and gentle scratching, but clearly noted areas of his body, which can and cannot be touched.
Rubbing of the top of his head, behind each ear, along the full length of his back, and continuing to the tip of his tail is okay. Any petting, rubbing or scratching anywhere else, and especially the belly is met with an ear-piercing meow, and the possible nipping of any fingers foolish enough to be close to his razor-sharp teeth.
After Harper's usual thirty seconds, he got bored, turned to me with a dismissive glance, jumped off the chair, and went in search of food or a warm place to take a sixteen hour nap. His behavior got me thinking, and I called over my dog, Chase. It should be noted that Chase loves to be petted. Normally, all I have to do is raise my arm to about two feet off the ground with my palm facing down, and he will run over, and place the top of his head firmly against my palm. I decided to do a little research on dogs, and how much they enjoy human contact.
I began to gently rub behind Chase's ears with both hands. After a minute I moved to the top of his head, and along his back. He seemed to be in heaven as he remained perfectly still, and enjoyed being petted. After about ten minutes of this, my arm started to get tired, and I rested it for a moment on the arm of the chair. Chase immediately moved over and nuzzled my hand until I returned to a gentle massage of his head. This continued for another ten minutes until I began to feel the onset of carpal tunnel syndrome, and my hand began to get friction burns. He then turned and presented his rear end, in the hope of continuing the obviously pleasurable experience.
Intent on continuing my research, but quickly tiring, I called for my Son, Adam. I explained, to him, not only my experiment, but its vital importance in furthering mankind's knowledge of canine behavior. He said, "What?" I said, "Just pet Chase until I get back."
I then left, and returned fifteen minutes later to a tired and bored teenager, and a dog that was standing still with a face that held an expression of unbelievable joy. I relieved my son, but told him to be available in a half hour or so, to possibly continue with the experiment, and help me analyze my extensive data.
As I continued to pet Chase, I noted that he had particular areas of the body, including: behind both ears, the top of his nose, and his back at the base of his tail which he preferred. Secondary areas which did not evoke a warning growl, were the back and front of his neck, the entire length of the back, and his belly; especially across his chest. When my son returned, I had him continue to pet Chase, while I furiously scribbled down data and formulated hypotheses.
My main question from my research on petting dogs is, how long will a dog, actually allow itself to be petted? We may never know. A man and a teenager managed to pet a dog continuously for over two hours, before fatigue, hunger and boredom ended the experiment. As we wolfed down bologna sandwiches, my wife came home, and began to pet Chase. He seemed to ignore delicious slices of lunchmeat as my wife rubbed his head and nose while crooning,
"Who's mommy's good little boy."
I may someday continue my research. I still have many unanswered questions. Would a dog forgo food and water for days until he collapsed in order to feel the comforting touch of his owner's hand on his head and back? If I were to invent a robotic dog petter, would Chase remain still under the soothing gentle motion...........forever? What if I forgot to turn it off, was subsequently involved in a plane crash, and became stranded on a tropical Island for months? Would I return home to find a skeleton being gently petted?

The GLASSOR glassware continues the tradition of producing hand-blown glass and hand-painted Christmas ornaments. Each form is blown and painted individually with a care which gives its unique appearance to an ornament. Our experienced painters are inspired from traditional patterns as well as modern trends.

Decorating By Naturepixie Updated 20 May 2009 , 1:33am by cakebaker111
This is what I do with mine..
I print my templates on card stock. I use a marker to number and mark them. Then I cover them with contact paper and I cut them out. I keep all the pieces togehter in a ziplock baggy. I write on the outside of the bag what the template is for. I also keep a small picture of the finished product inside the bag. If instructions are available I keep those in the bag also.
I hope that this might help someone else out. If anyone else has any ideas I would love the hear them.. Thanks!

With an amplified feeling of disheartedness, we all took one last shot of whiskey, changed out of our uniforms and hit the trail back to America. With no objective and one less friend, we all made the decision to get a little bit of revenge for Harlow before heading back to the states, so we rode to Tesoro Azul.
Upon arriving, we were surprised to see massacred nuns and preachers, and to realize that the town was once a fortified religious area. There was at least 20 soldiers inside. We parked our horses and took cover behind a wagon, as I gave them a plan. "Alright, boys. We're doing this for Harlow. Moorcock, you go around back. Ty, you're gonna follow me. Let's go." We jumped up and rushed the front gate as Moorcock ran to the back. Gunfire erupted on our positions as the army spotted us. Not a smart plan. I threw open the front gates and we rushed forward to a wall. Blindfiring over the broken down bricks, I managed to take out 5 men infront of a building as Ty took down 3 across the road with his Evans Repeater. Just as two soldiers closed in on our flank, Moorcock stormed the rear with his Henry Repeater and dispatched them both. "Need some help, boys?" He chuckled. I reloaded my weapon, as did Ty, and we stood up to meet him.
"Alright, let's check the houses." We all seperated to the buildings around the area, with the occasional gunshot going off now and again as one of us found a soldier cowering in a room. Finally, we came upon the last building. "Hit it." Moorcock kicked in the door as a soldier rushed from behind the doorframe. I pinned him against the wall with my forearm across his neck and placed my revolver point-blank to his head, executing him. As we broke open the last room, I put two shots into an officer, and found a man in a familiar uniform lying on the ground. After Ty cut him open and he stood up, I recognized that he was from the same base as us, and he was a Corporal. "You can ride with us from now on, soldier. What's your name?" He spoke in a voice similar to Harlow's.
"Name's Williamson, boys. Bill Williamson. I guess I was a bit tied up."

Your Secret Snapchat Number
"Can I do a takeover of your account?" John Q. Marketer asked on the same day that this article hit the interwebs like a handful of spaghetti to the face.
Joel Comm's article was one of many surprise occurrences that Viagra-grew my girthy audience. From Amy Schmittauer and Brian Fanzo @iSocialFanzto John Lee Dumas it was a brilliant list of folks that I was very proud to be included in…
"I don't use my snapchat account for that" Mr. Marketer. "It's mainly to try and be a better snapper than my wife (impossible) and make her laugh (more difficult than impossible)."
A chill went down my spine as I thought of this spray-tan varnished human with slicked-back hair and bleach-white teeth dog-filtering his way through 24 pinecone-in-the-ass-painful hours on my account. My wife would WTF me and I'd bleed out followers like every artery in my snapchat body had been severed simultaneously.
My following on snapchat is precious to me in a way that most other platforms are not. I'm more likely to engage in a deeper and more meaningful conversation there and I'm much more likely to take a call or a meeting when asked via snap if you're not a d-bag.
In the end, I have two main pieces of advice for people wanting to have fun on snapchat. After all, you'll be about as popular as a white dog in a black sofa showroom if you're not having fun. Really, fun is the key to success on snapchat. #dropsfinger
STEP ONE: Recruit!
Your friend Tony is funny as hell and he used to draw awesome airplane wars with you in junior high. Ask him to start snapping with you. Don't ask him to follow you. You don't want people to friggin follow you, you want people to engage.
I've seen people start Facebook pages, make Twitter lists, write books, teach classes, do meetups… and none of these things are exaggerated. The simplest way to find people to follow and to categorize yourself is by using Ghostcodes. CLICK HERE FOR LINK
STEP TWO: Ask!
I love to follow some of the best. I'll admit that I'll never reach their skill level but I understand what it looks like to look down from the top of Snapchat Mountain because I understand the eyes of MPLATCO andShonduras.
Step Three: Find some folks to emulate.
Get 2 or 3 suggestions from a few folks you know, like and trust and then go from there. Don't give a shit if they're "stars" or not because you'll find that some of your closest friends will be some of the best folks on the platform AND you get to make fun of them a little more.
No matter how far you've gotten, in the end remember that you're building your own community. You can have fun, have a creative outlet, be a marketer, be an artist… whatever you want. Do you my friend.
Don't worry about following me unless you really want to. I'm happy where I'm at… and my favorite thing about snapchat is:
I don't have to tell you my number! Click To Tweet
Be happy with your size. I'm happy with my size, growth and activity… now if I could only go longer than 10 seconds.

Did You Know?The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics estimates celiac disease affects an estimated 1% of Americans. The Canadian Celiac Association estimates that 1 in 133 Canadians are affected by celiac disease.
DefinitionCeliac disease is a medical condition in which the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a substance called gluten. This results in an inability of the body to absorb nutrients: protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for good health.
SymptomsCommon symptoms are anemia, chronic diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, cramps and bloating, irritability. Although some or all of these symptoms occur in celiac disease, some can also occur in many other diseases more common than celiac disease.
TreatmentAt present there is no cure, but celiac disease is readily treated by following a gluten-free diet.
People with celiac disease must read the list of ingredients on all labels, every time.There is a great variation in sensitivity to gluten among those with celiac disease, and although one may have no obvious symptoms, damage to the intestinal lining may still occur.

|Government Pension Offset Can Substantially Reduce Social Security Benefits
The Government Pension Offset offers an opportunity to provide value and grow your practice.
February 18, 2010
Two little known rules can substantially reduce Social Security benefits. The first, the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) was covered in a previous article. A second rule, the Government Pension Offset (GPO) will be covered in this article.
Both the WEP and GPO rules apply to government employees (including school teachers) who earned a pension based on wages not covered by Social Security. Many of these workers are unaware that they are subject to the WEP, the GPO or both. The annual Social Security statement contains only a general comment regarding the WEP and the GPO. The recipient is not told if he or she is subject to these rules. The recipient sees only his or her Social Security benefit calculated before the reduction. Because the reduction can be substantial many participants greatly overestimate their Social Security benefit.
The Difference Between the WEP and the GPO
The WEP and the GPO apply to government employees receiving a pension based on wages earned that were not covered by Social Security. Receipt of the pension can result in a reduction to the Social Security benefit they are otherwise entitled to receive. An individual can be subject to both the WEP and the GPO reductions.
Below are the types of payments that can be reduced by either the WEP or the GPO:
A spousal benefit is paid to a husband or wife based on the work record of his or her spouse. It is equal to 50 percent of the worker's benefit paid. For example, if based on Don's work history, his worker's benefit was $1,600 his spouse Jan would be entitled to a spousal benefit of 50 percent of that amount or $800. If Jan had her own work history and was entitled to a worker's benefit, the rules regarding dual entitlement apply.
Example: A survivor benefit is paid based on the deceased spouse's work history. When Don dies, Jan will no longer receive her spousal benefit of $800 but will receive a survivor benefit of $1,600 per month — what Don had been receiving just prior to his death. See the discussion regarding dually entitled participants below in the case where Jan was also entitled to a worker's benefit.
The GPO
The GPO applies if a client:
See SSA Publication No. 05-10007 for exceptions.
If the GPO applies, the Social Security payment must be reduced by two-thirds of the government pension.
Example: Impact on spousal benefits — Virginia worked as a school teacher for over 35 years. Her wages were not covered by Social Security. She earned a pension that will pay her $1,800 per month at age 65. Her husband Niles' wages were covered by Social Security. His Social Security benefit is $2,200. Absent the GPO, Virginia would be entitled to a Social Security spousal benefit of $1,100 per month (50% of $2,200). The GPO reduces her spousal benefit by two-thirds of $1,800 or $1,200. Her spousal benefit is equal to $1,100 minus $1,200 or zero dollars (where the GPO reduction is larger than the spousal benefit, the benefit is reduced to zero dollars).
Impact on survivor benefits — Absent the GPO, should Niles predecease Virginia, she would be entitled to a survivor benefit equal to 100 percent of Niles' monthly Social Security benefit or $2,200. The GPO, however, requires a reduction in the survivor benefit by two-thirds of her teacher's pension. That leaves a survivor's benefit of $2,200 minus $1,200 (two-thirds of $1,800) or $1,000.
Dual Entitlement and Financial Dependency
To understand the reason for the GPO you must understand the concepts of financial dependency and dual entitlement. Individuals who qualify for both a Social Security benefit based on their own work history and for a benefit based on their spouse's work history are dually entitled. A dually entitled individual, however, cannot receive the full amount of each benefit.
Example: Andrew is entitled to a Social Security benefit of $1,400 per month based on his own work record. He is also entitled to a spousal benefit of $800 per month based on the work history of his wife, Karen. He is "entitled" to both his worker's benefit and a spousal benefit. He can take no more than $1,400 per month. In this case, Andrew will take the higher benefit he earned based on his own work record.
If his monthly benefit based on his own work record were $700 and his spousal benefit were $800 he would be entitled to a spousal benefit of $100 calculated as follows. His spousal benefit must be first reduced by the benefit he earned based on his own work record. $800 minus $700 leaves a spousal benefit of $100. Andrew receives an $800 monthly check from Social Security consisting of his worker's benefit of $700 and the spousal benefit of $100.
In the early years of Social Security, wives typically did not have work histories sufficient to earn a Social Security worker's benefit. They were considered financially dependent on their husbands. A woman with no work history was provided a spousal benefit based on her husband's work history. She did not have to work outside the home and establish a work history in order to be entitled to a spousal benefit. Any benefit the spouse earned based her own work history, however, is treated as reducing her financial dependency on their husband. Times have changed and in today's world it may be the husband who is financially dependent and receives a spousal benefit based on his wife's work history.
In the example, the $700 Andrew earned based on his own work record reduced his financial dependency on his spouse. His $800 spousal benefit is reduced by his worker's benefit of $700 to $100. Similarly, the payment of a government pension earned based on non-covered wages is considered as reducing the recipient's financial dependency and a reduction is required. The reduction is based on the two-thirds formula.
Why two-thirds? According to a report by the Congressional Research Service (Social Security: The Government Pension Offset), the formula "… assumes that two-thirds of the government pension is basically equivalent to the Social Security retirement or disability benefit the spouse would have earned as a worker if his or her job had been covered by Social Security."
Baby boomers have taken a second look at Social Security. Reliable monthly payments, adjusted annually for inflation, look pretty good since the collapse of the stock market and home values in 2008. Understanding and applying the complex Social Security rules can give CPA, PFS advisors an edge in growing their practice as more and more boomers reach Social Security retirement age.
