When working in a small business there are many gray areas that you will encounter. They will test you morally and ethically. Here are some things I've learned along the way.
1. Stick to your gut. If it doesn't feel
right then don't do it!
2. If you can't seem to trust someone get rid of them immediately, it will only hurt you in the long run.
3. Keep your reputation in tact. You never want to spread bad word of mouth throughout the community.
4. Be good. This is a great business and personal tip. Just simply be a good person.
Sometimes staying on the good side isn't as profitable as crossing over to the bad. In my opinion I would much rather be poor than sacrifice my integrity.

Promoting Your Small Business
Now a days there are thousands of ways to promote your business. It's very time consuming but amazing at the same time. Make sure with each of these you are tracking your progress. These are the best four Social Media sites to promote your business. I'm sure you've heard of them, but trust me you should be on there and they do work.
- Linked In
If your business isn't fully utilizing these options then you're missing out on tons of potential customers. Start all four and then track your progress.
- Are you gaining followers every week?
- Are your followers engaging with your content?
- Have any followers turned into sales?
This progress won't happen over night of course, but it will in the long run. It is defiantly well worth the time investment to keep these going.

Tips on Selling Your Work
A great way to sell your products is to start with small businesses in your area. Customers & businesses love to support local artwork. It's a win-win for everyone. Here are some good guidelines to follow:
- Contacting them – Call and email them is perfect. Once again be proactive by following through a few days after you send an email. Your products will be fresh in their minds.
- Pictures – Send lots of pictures, get the business excited about selling your work. Don't just tell them that you make hats for example. Hats are different to everyone. Send them what you do so they have visuals.
- Do not Stop In – Small business owners have a lot going on. Stopping in with a box of your products might not be a great idea. They have other things going on. If you want to stop in do not put the business owner on the spot, stop in to talk and mention it.
- Do not contact them at busy times - I always get artists contacting me at the most inconvenient times, like during a Farmer's Market with a line of customers. Please use your judgement. The businesses want to work with you, but if you don't make it easy for them they're less inclined to help.
- Be personable – Business owners are people too and love someone to talk to first. If they like you then they are more likely to purchase your product.
- Quality – Make sure your products are sellable. Would you purchase the item yourself? Is the quality up to par with other online and local stores?
Marketing your products are easy when it comes to Small Businesses, they want to work with you and support local.
Remember Small Businesses talk. If you get a bad name it will only hurt you.

Me and this girl were extremely intimate together. We went on great dates, had amazing sex, and cuddled each other to sleep every night for a year. She begged me to make things official but I hesitated. So we were never officially a couple. I remember saying:
"If we still feel the same way after summer then maybe I'll be your boyfriend"
Summer came and I neglected her. Both of us had never been so close with another person. She came back to school a different person. She said she still likes me but ran into her ex and still likes him too. We had an entire year of fights and making each other jealous and her crying. Then I would try and make it up by bringing puppies to her house and one time I waited outside her class with her favorite flower.
I graduated school and didn't see her for a year. Then I saw her at a party last weekend and she ran outside with her friend for an hour after they saw me. She comes back in and kisses another guy right in front of me so I ignore her. The she approaches me and asked how I am and says to come meet her friend from back home.
After the party I texted her "I miss you" and she didn't reply.
What should I do about her? I've never been so close to another girl. She said she hates when I drunk text her. Should I contact her during the day and ask her why she's acting like this?
Most Helpful Girl
Sounds like a TON, like a meteor of unnecessary drama. Quite frankly if you had told you you weren't sure you were feeling it after all that time, I'd probably leave too. So to a see your question, just drop this one. You unfortunately missed the boat when something decent could have happened.00|00|0


text: Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced financial results for the Company's fiscal third quarter 2014. Net income for the quarter was $1.4 billion, an increase of 11% over the prior year, or $2.17 per share, an increase of 15% over the prior year. All references to earnings per share assume fully-diluted class A share count unless otherwise noted. Net operating revenue in the fiscal third quarter of 2014 was $3.2 billion, an increase of 5% nominally or 7% on a constant dollar basis over the prior year, driven by solid growth in service revenue and data processing revenues. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the prior year quarter negatively impacted net operating revenue growth by 2 percentage points. "We are pleased to report 15% earnings per share growth in the face of a continued, subdued global economy," said Charlie Scharf, Chief Executive Officer of Visa Inc. "As expected, revenue growth was affected by a strong U.S. dollar and tepid growth from cross-border transactions. More importantly, global payments volume and processed transactions remained healthy and strong. While some of the headwinds will likely continue in the short-term, we are confident our investments in products such as Visa Checkout, new technologies like tokenization, and new relationships with financial institutions and merchants will continue to drive double-digit revenue growth over the long-term." Fiscal Third Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights: Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, on which fiscal third quarter service revenue is recognized, was 12% over the prior year at $1.1 trillion. Payments volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was 11% over the prior year at $1.2 trillion. Cross-border volume growth, on a constant dollar basis, was 7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Market Update: Anything But Random
It was something of an intense, emotional close to the week as indices spiked down to levels that left bulls dangling on the edge of a cliff but not enough to instill overwhelming confidence in the bears, even as news and economic data continued to unfold in their favor. The idea of a bottoming process has taken root in Wall Street but fears the economy could be heading towards a deeper than expected recession and the realities of a bear market keep alive the prospect of new lows.
Of course at TTC we don't rely on such conceptions and base our trades on evidence in charts, many of which still suggest the market is closer to near term support than falling over the proverbial cliff. That said, on Friday we attempted to buy a bottom in the 23/20 area but were stopped out as the market fell to 1313. Seeing prices attempt a modest bounce into the close, however, has us looking to Monday's action to clarify the situation.
The above chart is an example of the big picture information members receive at the start of every week to orient their trading. It's also an illustration of why Elliott wave analysis has not been the most effective way to look at this choppy and indecisive market. Eventually there will some sort of capitulation in the form of a huge move in one direction or the other, but with both counts coiled ready to spring, wave-counting alone leaves a trader on the sidelines or, even worse, guessing.
At TTC we avoid trading blindly by using our indicators, our collective knowledge of many markets and techniques and, as last week's update explained, our proprietary targets: da numbas! Shown in the chart above are two of our most important target levels recently. Remember 1333 is where we initially took profits after the buying the low at 1256. We said last week that getting past 1360 would trigger a massive rally but weakness there would be trouble for the bulls. Sure enough, Monday's huge short-covering fiesta failed to decisively take out that level and brought the market down into support at our 1333 level. Certainly the action on Friday underscores the failure at 1360, but seeing these numbers return week after week is a compelling argument that contrary to popular belief, these markets are not simply random.
After Wednesday's negative close near the lows, and after bouncing up off 1333 in overnight trading, the cash markets opened Thursday with a gap higher - despite no real news to trigger the move. Actually, the news was rather dismal, with GDP showing an anemic economy and a major private equity buyout on the ropes. Though we respected the bounce off our target level, recent history suggested the cash indices would have to at least go back and test those levels. Making that trade even easier were our proprietary trend cycle chart, particularly the 60-min chart shown above. This relatively slow-moving indicator rarely leaves a sweep across it's oscillator unfinished and the gap up would have caused it to do just that. Given the circumstances, members were advised to be prepared in case the opening was reversed, which is precisely what occurred.
On the other hand, support in our other relative strength momentum indicator coincided with a retest of 1333, suggestive of at least a scalp buy. As it happened, the market rallied off 1333 to the highs of the day, as shown in the chart below.
As you know, Friday's market moved below 1333 and violated all expected support levels for a potentially dramatic upside reversal. The chart below was posted to help members navigate the close. Notice how the market initially tried to hold at the top of the target box, but eventually penetrated through the bottom. The correct way to trade this area depended, of course, on time frame. Scalpers should have shorted the break of 1320 and could have made up to 7 points in a matter of a few minutes. Others may have attempted small longs and gotten stopped out; swing traders may be roughly even on their trades and looking ahead to next week, if they traded it at all.
In any case, it's important to understand that losing 1320 did not change my view of the big picture, it was only a guidepost for a short term trade. That's why it's not a fat red line on the chart like 1333. Members in the TTC forum are already aware of another crucial target number below here that would change our attitudes. Whichever direction the market chooses to take, we have numbers and patterns for next week and will adapt them as shown above to suit whatever the market provides in realtime. Even though the week closed on an inexorable drip lower in stocks, the overwhelming evidence continues to show this market is anything but random and, going through the end of the quarter we're likely to see volume pick up again and clarify the current ambiguous situation.
TTC will close soon to new membership.
Speaking of quarter end, we originally thought we would close the doors to new retail in June or July, but I've decided to move that up closer to May 31, Memorial Day weekend. The opportunity to join the TTC community of traders is slipping away from retail investors. If you're really serious about trading learn more about what TTC has to offer and how to join now.
So, do you want to learn how to trade short term time frames? Would you like access to next week's charts posted in the weekly forum right now? Ten to twenty big picture charts are posted every weekend. If you feel the resources at TTC could help make you a better trader, don't forget that TTC will be closing its doors to new retail members on May 31,2008 . Institutional traders have become a major part of our membership and we're looking forward to making them our focus.
TTC is not like other forums, and if you're a retail trader/investor looking to improve your trading, you've never seen anything like our proprietary targets, indicators, real-time chat, and open educational discussions. But the only way to get in is to join before the lockout starts - once the doors close to retail members, we'll use a waiting list to accept new members from time to time, perhaps as often as quarterly, but only as often as we're able to accommodate them. Don't get locked out later, join now.
Have a profitable and safe week trading, and remember:
"Unbiased Elliott Wave works!"

I grew up in Buffalo, New York, and Detroit, Michigan. So, I learned at an early age about the similarities and differences between these cities in the United States and their next-door neighbors in Ontario, Canada. That one of the reasons why I'm already planning to go to SES Toronto 2010.
Image by SESConferenceSeries via Flickr
In a challenging economy, it is even more important to keep up-to-date with industry trends, see new products and services, and maintain and build relationships – all areas in which events provide significant value and efficiency. During a recovery, attending leading conventions and trade shows keeps executives informed and competitive.
But, why is an American going to SES Toronto 2010?
Americans often forget about Canada, which is the largest country in North America by total area. But Canadians rarely forget about the United States. The relationship has been described as the quiet neighbor in the upstairs apartment pounding on the floor in hopes that the noisy party-goers in the downstairs apartment will be quiet.
But, there is a great advantage to looking at market trends from both sides of the longest common border in the world.
For example, go to the Hitwise United States Data Center and you'll see that the top five websites ranked by Visits for the week ending 04/17/2010 are:
- Facebook (7.80 percent),
- Google (7.07 percent),
- Yahoo! Mail (3.82 percent),
- Yahoo! (3.71 percent),
- YouTube (2.21 percent).
Go to the Hitwise Canada Data Center and you'll see that the top five websites ranked by Visits for the week ending 04/17/2010 are:
- Facebook (10.71 percent),
- Google Canada (8.56 percent),
- Windows Live Mail (5.24 percent),
- YouTube (3.39 percent),
- MSN Canada (2.55 percent.
"Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
Understanding these differences and learning to navigate your way through similar but different approaches to Search Engine Marketing (SEM), including search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, can help you grow your business and compete more effectively in the global marketplace.
Yes, yes, I know you now need a passport to get in and out of Canada from the United States. But it's worth getting one if you don't already have one.
Oh, and don't just take my word for it. Check out what Cecilia Tamez of XE.com had to say about attending SES Toronto 2009.

Or, listen to Estee Langis of the Yellow Pages Group discuss attending SES Toronto 2009.
Estee Langis, Yellow Pages Group, on attending SES Toronto
Or, check out Debbie Wheeler discuss attending SES Toronto 2009.
Or, listen to Nick Eng discuss attending SES Toronto 2009.
Now, I should disclose that SES in a client of my agency. But, trust me on the importance of keeping up-to-date with industry trends and seeing new products and services on the other side of the border.

Yahoo! has announced plans to launch 100 new websites this year that will showcase various entertainment brands, including video games, TV shows and movies. The company recently introduced its Brand Universe initiative at its Sunnyvale, California headquarters.
The Initial sites will focus on the Nintendo Wii; game titles 'The Sims' and 'Halo'; TV shows 'Lost' and 'The Office'; and the 'Harry Potter' and 'Transformers' franchises. The rest would be announced by the end of February and launched by the year-end. Features on the Nintendo Wii site on Yahoo! include related news and reviews from around the Web, photos from Flickr, message boards and a buyer's guide.
Yahoo has already built a Brand Universe site around the Nintendo Wii, and has announced six more. Like much of Yahoo!, advertising will support Brand Universe sites, and Yahoo! said it would discuss ways to share revenue with brand owners.
Vince Broady, Head of Games, Entertainment and Youth at Yahoo!, said that the company had a wealth of entertainment content, but finding the material about a specific attraction was not always intuitive.
"We don't connect the dots for our users around those brands," Broady said, adding, "Brand Universe is designed to fix that problem. What we are really trying to do is create environments where fans of brands can hang out when they are online."

The midfielder has discussed his future numerous times and has admitted he could quit the club in the summer though he left the doot open for a contract extension with his club. This season John Mikel Obi has been warming the bench for Chelsea and despite his lack of minutes his situation is a huge plus for Nigeria. Many Nigerians would want the Super Eagles captain to return to the starting line-up but that might be ill advised. Here are four reasons why Mikel's bench role at Chelsea is a blessing disguise;
1. Fresher legs for tedious fixtures
The most obvious reason why Mikel's club situation is good for Nigeria. The Nigerian skipper isn't the faster player out there and he seems to gas out while playing in Africa before the 75th minute. By not playing, Mikel is keeping himself warm for the weather on the continent which will enable him play fully. A perfect example was the last game against Zambia in while he was one of the game's best players and seemed to have extra in the locker.
2. Ability to learn off the pitch from other players
Mikel has played with different types of midfielders at Chelsea. Micheal Essien, Deco, Micheal Ballack, Frank Lampard, Ramires, Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas, Willian, Oscar and now N'Golo Kante. His on field experiences with the aforementioned has seen him win the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League. Despite playing as a deep lying anchor man most times, there are many who feel he is better suited further forward…his exploits at the Rio Olympics suggest so also. With his place on the bench, Mikel can learn from his teammates and expand his game. It mighteven allow him notice their mistakes and help him make better decisions when he is finally played.
3. Long season could see him finish the campaign strongly (in the case of an injury)
Mikel might not be starting the season for Chelsea but his will be playing come end of the season especially when injury strikes. Antonio Conte's game plan make his player run the extra mile (the players have admitted so) and it is sure to cause injuries. In a team where Matic, Kante and Fabregas are the only barriers to Mikel's first team opportunities, expect Conte to ring the changes soon. Mikel to play more games towards the end of the season His time might not be September, October or November but March, April and May are smiling upon the African Zidane.
4. Gives him more time to be with his family
Mikel Obi is a true family man, he posts pictures of his girlfriend and twins regularly. He is happy to praise them and let us know he is an Ibo boy now dating a white Russian girl.With more time being out of the match day squad, Mikel can spend time with his family. We know how Nigerian's cherish family. Olga Diyachenko will be happy if the father of her kids can stay at home more rather than travel all round the country for matches.

With the include attribute on javac, we've sometimes tried to tell it to specifically include the uiTenantFrame.java in hopes that it would then go and try to compile only those files that the project depended on. However, that doesn't work. So, we tried telling it only part of the pattern...as in uiT*.java, etc (different things like that), but then it only tries to compile the 7 source files that begin with uiT! Help! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!

So I just recently got back with my old girlfriend. She didn't seem interested in getting back together again until I got a new apartment. Right away she wanted to move in and I was ok with that I love her. But the last two days have been odd I get home the other day and put take car seat in her car. And the next day her passenger seat in her car was all the way slid back and I had not been in the car since I put the car seat in. And I asked her how it moved she said she had no idea and it had to of went back because there would have been no way that I could have got the car seat in the way the seat was. And now today I noticed there's white stans on my brand new couch and it has magical moved 2 inches over as if someone had been fucking on it and we have never done it on the couch it's only a week old. And I asked her y she was on her phone all night long and she blew up on me and now wile I'm home she turns her phone off and hides it in the apartment. Please give it to me straight.
Most Helpful Girl
Hard to say. I'd be suspicious as well if I were you though.00|00|0
Most Helpful Guy
It seems like she is definitely doing something behind your back, could be cheating also, but you need to catch her red handed or collect more solid proofs about that and then confront her.
If you confront her directly, she will outright deny it.00|00|0

K-Adaptability in Two-Stage Distributionally Robust Binary Programming
We propose to approximate two-stage distributionally robust programs with binary recourse decisions by their associated K-adaptability problems, which pre-select K candidate second-stage policies here-and-now and implement the best of these policies once the uncertain parameters have been observed. We analyze the approximation quality and the computational complexity of the K-adaptability problem, and we derive explicit mixed-integer linear programming reformulations. We also provide efficient procedures for bounding the probabilities with which each of the K second-stage policies is selected.

a sample of the book
Academic and public libraries are continuing to transform as the information landscape changes, expanding their missions into new service roles that call for improved organizational performance and accountability. Since
Assessing Service Quality
premiered in 1998, receiving the prestigious Highsmith Library Literature Award, scores of library managers and administrators have trusted its guidance for applying a customer-centered approach to service quality and performance evaluation. This extensively revised and updated edition explores even further the ways technology influences both the experiences of library customers and the ways libraries themselves can assess those experiences. With a clear focus on real-world application, the authors
Challenge conventional thinking about the utility of input, output, and performance metrics by suggesting new ways to think about the evaluation and assessment of library services
Explain service quality and customer satisfaction, and demonstrate how they are separate but intertwined
Identify procedures for qualitatively and quantitatively measuring both service quality and satisfaction
Encourage libraries to take action by presenting concrete steps they can take to become more customer-centric
Offer a range of customer-related metrics that provide insights useful for library planning and decision making, such as surveys and focus groups
This book shows how to nurture an environment of continuous improvement through effective service quality assessment.

Viewing Library Metrics from Different Perspectives
"Throughout, figures provide straightforward model assessment forms and practical examples for the concepts being discussed … As the chair of my library's assessment committee, which incorporates assessment into all aspects of our operations, I believe that libraries of all types can benefit from the various assessment concepts and strategies presented and discussed. Librarians charged with doing assessment for their organizations will find the book valuable in both theory and practice."
— Technical Services Quarterly
"The third edition presents some major updates, reflecting the changing library landscape and technologies. The authors felt the need to make updates in the third edition to address these recent changes, primarily citing newer developments in the library culture at large. Additions in the new edition, such as incorporating and surveying social media, are examples of the new content ... the text is clearly written and presented, with many figures and illustrations to support the discussion points. The book would provide a good foundation for anyone looking to start an assessment or survey of their library and gives a solid framework for the process of initiating the work involved in such an endeavor."

When Kaylee Cavanaugh screams, someone dies.
So when teen pop star Eden croaks onstage and Kaylee doesn't wail, she knows something is dead wrong. She can't cry for someone who has no soul.
The last thing Kaylee needs right now is to be skipping school, breaking her dad's ironclad curfew and putting her too-hot-to-be-real boyfriend's loyalty to the test. But starry-eyed teens are trading their souls: a flickering lifetime of fame and fortune in exchange for eternity in the Netherworld - a consequence they can't possibly understand.
Kaylee can't let that happen, even if trying to save their souls means putting her own at risk....
SOUL SCREAMERS: The last thing you hear before you die
©2009 Rachel Vincent; (P)2009 Audible, Inc.
"Refreshing change!"
It's nice to read a story about something besides vampires and werewolves for a change!
It's not the same thing just written by a different author like most books of this genre, it's an interesting new story and characters!
I have to say Amanda Ronconi has become a favorite reader in our house when it comes to audio books!
Avid Book Lover but more of a book Listener now days!! I love Mysteries, Vampires, & some Romances. Patterson, Safford, Koontz, Sparks,
"Great and very entertaining!"
really liking this series! loved this book. it was very entertaining. really liked the narrator.
"Good Book"
Another good book by Rachel Vincent. Just enough suspense and mystery to keep you interested, and the storyline is believable; I mean, I can see pop princesses selling their souls to get where they are!
There were a few moments when I wanted to tell them they were being stupid, but something else would distract me and I'd forget about it.
All in all it was a good book and I plan to read the next one to see what happens.
Say something about yourself!
This story like the first one made me very emotional and had me waiting for what would happen next, happy and sad. The ending of each book has a had a semi-happily-ever-after that leaves me wanting more and wanting to read the next book.
Love this site! I have a very busy job, so listening to audio books enables me to keep up on great stories!
"I was really feeling this one!"
Banshee's are cool.
Oh the whole Netherworld part. Would love to see it in a movie!
See above.
Yup and I pretty much did!
I downloaded it immediately after finishing the first book. I'm really glad I did. This book was much better in my opinion!
"Love this 2nd ish story in the series."
Don't know didn't read the printed version.
It's different at least for me. I don't usually go in for the YA stuff.
I love them all. She does a great job!!!!
I would like to have but I usually listen while in my car or riding my bike.
I enjoyed this 2nd (or 2nd and a half) story in this series. I don't typically go in for the YA stuff but I find the story interesting and I love ALL the characters, even some of the bad guys. I also love the reader. She does a wonderful job. Can't wait to listen to the next one.
also writing as Evelyn Vaughn
"Strong Sequel for a Strong Series"
I am seriously getting addicted to Rachel Vincent's "Soul Screamers" series (this is book 2). The writing voice (and the reader's) work wonderfully to portray a teenager struggling with curfews, a new boyriend, bonding with her once absentee dad... and learning her abilities as a banshee. I especially appreciated all the little bits of "stage business" -- the color of some balloons, the cut of a new coat -- that helped me visualize the story all the better. A solid read!
"Kind of entertaining"
It was ok. Not the best story, but worth the deal of 5.95.

The Expat Society is an international network of expats, mobile citizens, global nomads, & friends. We bring together great people from all over the world who, while often separated by borders and oceans, share a common upbringing that values diversity, worldly perspective, as well as a taste for great events and good times.
Am I An Expat?
An Expat is a global citizen, a cosmopolitan, an international. We loosely use the term 'expat' to cover anyone with global curiosity or perspective. Our aim is to build on the international exposure and connection many of us fostered in school, while inviting others to join our global community. So, if you're reading this, then yes - you're likely an expat. At least in our book.
Why does Expat Society exist?
We exist to create an environment, place, and community that connects these people, all of whom share a multidimensional perspective and an appreciation for diversity. Our mission is to cultivate a group of global leaders who collaborate and change the world together. In doing this, we offer an amazing experience completely geared towards the needs of these expats, providing the unique experiences they want, an identity they admire, and the global interconnectedness they know and love.
How Can I Join?
We want to bring together expats from all around the world, creating a network and a community on which people can rely wherever their work, travel, or life takes them. That said, as we build this community together we're looking for committed, energized, and worldly people.
We're not about the pursuit of exclusivity or elitism. Instead, we're selective so that we can manage our membership and guarantee the best possible experience. Apply for full membership here or apply for network membership here.
What Are The Benefits Of Joining And How Does It Work?
So what do you really get out of it, right? At the core of what we do, we host amazing events and provide our members with unique experiences. This can include anything from a killer party (last year we worked with Sony Pictures on the launch of the new James Bond film, Spectre) to a group outing or activity (Boxing, Hiking, Art Gallery Visits) etc. The beauty of what we do is that we can host almost anything that our members find interesting or cool.
We're not a cult, or with that, a clique, but we do try to create a sense of community. We promise not to take over your life (or your identity) like other organizations. What we can guarantee is that you'll meet some great people that you're likely not to run into elsewhere.
What is the Difference Between Society Membership and Network Membership?
As a society member, you receive all the benefits Expat Society has to offer including access to unique member experiences, member-only events, and various other surprises throughout the year. Our membership is a close group that we are carefully and selectively expanding every semester.
More specifically, Society Membership includes:
• Entrance to all our events
• Exclusive invitation to member experiences and career talks
• Member only merchandise (The White Hats)
• Your Story in our Member Features
• Full access to Career Database
• Expat Society's platform to shout out your personal projects and achievements
The network is intended for members who are unable to commit to a society membership, or those who want to join in between our recruitment periods. Network members gain access to some Expat Society network events and join our global community of current students and alumni.
More specifically, Network Membership includes:
• Preference for Membership following semester
• All Events' pricing is subsidized
• Invitation to Events and Career Talks
• Expat Society's platform to shout out your personal projects and achievements
How Do I Join The Executive Board?
We're thrilled your interested in contributing to The Expat Society. Board members are crucial to setting the society's vision, organizing its various components, and its spirit.
Joining 'the board' involves a two-step process. First you apply for our mentee program (for details on this see the next question). After being accepted and working closely with a board member for a semester, you will be invited to interview for the Executive Board.
Mentee Program
We have big ambitions for The Expat Society. Goals that go far beyond university campuses. So we're looking for the very best to play a role in building the society. As a mentee, you will receive an official title (e.g. Head of XYZ) and work closely with members of the board. You'll gain an insider's perspective into the society and a hands-on experience in building an enterprise. Join our close-knit, passionate, and occasionally a little crazy community we have on board.
Applications for the mentee program will open up again in January 2017.

2016 Festival Poster
2016 Festival Poster Artist
Mickey Asche
Born in 1963 in Louisville, Kentucky. He moved to Louisiana as a teenager with his family. In 2005, after 21 years as an aviation mechanic, Mickey made the decision to put down the wrench, pick up a paint brush, and to spend his days painting. Mickey is a self-taught artist, who first worked with watercolors but has since changed to oils. Growing up in Southern Louisiana, he was immediately drawn to depict the rich wildlife this area has to offer. Best described as a realist, he has a passion for all things in nature, but paints mainly of his personal experiences in the backwater swamps, marshes and bayous of the region. There has never been a time in his life when Mickey did not have a deep appreciation and passion for the outdoors and wildlife. Mickey's philosophy, "If you find something you love to do, you cannot fail at it."
Mickey's work was selected as the featured Wooden Boat Festival poster art in both 2008 and 2010. Those original works are on display at the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Maritime Museum. This year, he is once again honored to have his work featured on the poster.
Mickey is a member of The Society of Animal Artists and has been invited to show in national wildlife shows in South Carolina and Alabama along with some of the nation's top wildlife artists. View some of his work at http://www.mickeyasche.com/mickeyasche/About.html.

I'm going to college in the fall and want to change my style up. I want to dress attractive, yet not slutty. What are some clothes that accomplish this?
Classy, yet attractive, but not slutty
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 4
Basically nothing see through unless you have some undershirt, the goal is not to let your undies show.
Don't let anything hang out. Mini skirts are OK if you have tights under. Short shorts just annoy me.
Just dress as you would if you were to visit grandma, but not like you raided her closet.00|00|0
Hug curves, don't show them. And by hug show off, not form fit. And by curves I mean hips/boobs. Show off your butt in jeans, but if you wear yoga pants, put shorts on over.20|20|0
I HATE when girls wear yoga pants on campus. blech, makes me feel like true society no longer exists.
I'm alright with the yoga pants, just cover em up a bit. Or at least don't pull them all the way up your buttcrack.
Here's a crazy concept: They're just clothes. Who the f*** cares? Just be comfortable in what you wear. But if you are going to be a shallow tool and look for a specific kind of clothes that cater to some nonexistant style, at least go to the second-hand store.10|13|1
And look at the haters just down-voting without even attempting a response. That, folks, is straight-up passive aggressivism. Even by internet standards.
There is no school dress code when it comes to college. Though I would find it hard to believe you'd want to change your style JUST because you're changing environments, be you!00|00|0
What Girls Said 3
Just as krisdaschwab912 mentioned .. just be comfortable. Plus that you can wear whatever you want , it will never look attractive unless you have that attitude.. I know this girl in my class ,she has an extremely plain style.. but always looking attractive, perfect and really hot.. and trust me , she never wears more than plain jeans and a tshirt.. It's the attitude and the overall look .. There are people who wear amazing clothes, but they look awful .. just wear whatever makes you feel good.00|00|0
Try to wear tight clothes, but not too tight; If you have curves show them off ;00|00|0
form fitting but not showing a lot of skin. I think skirts do this, esp. pencil skirts. keep the hem mid thigh or longer. don't show a lot of boob. stick to lots of classic pieces that hug your curves but are somewhat plain. guys like this on me.00|00|0

Tuna Pasta
Recipe by evelynathens
This is an emergency 'quickie' meal in my home. When time is short and I want to get something nutritious and tasty on the table fast, this is the meal I inevitably turn to as it is made with store-cupboard staples and everyone loves it.
Top Review by akempffer
Really easy comfort food - I was looking for something with minimal work and using the last of my stores until I go grocery shopping again. Easy to make, very tasty - no extra shopping to do because you can find almost all the ingredients in your pantry.
See Discussion:12 Reviews 1 Tweak
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (9 1/4 ounce) can tuna, drained
- 1 (1 lb) canchopped tomato with juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced (1 1/2 tsps) or 2 tablespoons dried basil (1 1/2 tsps)
- red pepper flakes
- 3⁄4 lb of your favourite pasta, cooked al dente and tossed with 1 tblsp butter (we like to eat this sauce with pasta 'curls' so the little bits of tuna can get caught in the curls)
- grated parmesan cheese, for the table
Directions See How It's Made
- Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan and add the onion; saute onion until it is translucent, 2-3 minutes, then add tomatoes and garlic; season to taste with salt, pepper and red-pepper flakes and boil over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until thickened somewhat; add basil and simmer 2 more minutes; add tuna, turn off heat and allow to 'sit' (flavours will blend) for 5 minutes.
- This makes a very thick, flavourful sauce (you can thin with a little boiling water or some of the pasta cooking water if it's too thick for your liking).
- Distribute pasta amongst 4 plates and top with sauce; pass grated parmesan cheese at the table or, alternatively, toss pasta and sauce together, then serve, passing grated cheese.
- Note: If you don't want your sauce to be as 'chunky', you can puree the tomatoes before using.

I have never sucked a cock but it is on my "To do" list, I am also willing to kiss and take part in a little light BDSM (also on my list) Because of medication, I cannot get hard but if you have a strap on I would be willing to use it on you...... I will not waste your time, if I agree to meet you, I WILL suck you off. In return I expect the following. A freshly washed and clean cock. Somewhere to go, by which I do not mean, your car, the park or the local toilets, I mean a building designed and being used for human habitation. Oh yes, my arse is out of bounds. ideally you should be between 45 and 60 but not really that big a deal. Please note, I am reliant on public transport

We have roaming profiles and we are running on a XenApp 6.5 environment. Our servers are located in Denmark. When I go to msn.com, using IE9, the web site defaults to a Danish site, www.msn.dk. However, it does give you the option to go to msn.com, and also you can set this as a default. This works great, until I log off and back on, and then it automatically goes back to www.msn.dk and asks the same questions again. Does anyone know how to save these settings? Thanks.
Mar 6, 2012 at 3:31 UTC
Hi Carolilla,
I found the solution, by comparing a profile that worked, versus a profile that did not work. I was able to find a solution to my problem.
In IE, under Settings, Internet Options, go to Security tab. Enable protected mode was turned off on the profile that worked. I turned it off, and sure enough, everything worked fine.
Since we use GPO's in our environment, I created a GPO that turns this setting off by default for each user. This solved ALL of our problems. I can't explain why it works, because I found the setting by comparing Internet Explorer settings, but it does :).
Hope this helps.

Maybe you can set your default homepage to www.msn.com.
Feb 17, 2012 at 6:34 UTC
No, this does not work. The servers are located in Denmark, so when you browse to www.msn.com, it redirects you to www.msn.dk. It then asks you if you would like to go to www.msn.com, and set it as default. Before switching to the new XenApp 6.5 environment, these settings would save, even after log off. Same for www.google.com, it goes to www.google.dk. However, at the bottom, you can set it to go to www.google.com instead. Unfortunately, the settings are gone after log off.
I spent a lot of time comparing my GPO's from our old set up, and I do not see anything that would suggest there are differences between the set ups.
I've managed to get the home page to go to English, by adding /ncr at the end of the home page address. For example, if you set your home page to www.msn.com/

I am having very similar issues. IE9 and XenApp 6.5, using roaming profiles. What we are epxeriencing is we set up a user for the first time (we are migrating to XenApp 6.5), and we go through, uncheck pop-up blocker etc, check that we can download PDFs, all works great. User logs off and we can no longer download PDFs or other things such as Word docs, start webinars, etc. Reset the IE settings and for the most part it all works again until log off. All other settings in the profile stick such as home page etc, printers, desktop wallpaper, and to make things even weirder it does not happen to every user. Some of them are just fine, everything works. Trying to pinpoint which settings stay and which ones don't is starting to make me lose my mind so hoping someone has some insight into this....we use a netapp storage applicance to store our profiles.
Feb 22, 2012 at 3:21 UTC
Hi Carolilla,
We were able to figure out the reason behind our problem. There are a couple ways to fix this, and we are trying them out now. When I reach a final solution (hopefully a day or two), I will post the results.
Feb 22, 2012 at 3:36 UTC
Oh, I look forward to that! I also discovered something which I am testing out now. Apparently UPM does not support DFS shares, and that's what we were using as our profile path. I have now set ut to the actual share name and we'll see if that makes a difference.
Feb 22, 2012 at 3:38 UTC
Good luck :). We found that by enabling folder redirection on AppData and a few other folders that all the settings work fine. However, we want to make sure this is the best solution :).
Feb 22, 2012 at 3:43 UTC
That makes sense. We already do that but maybe we're missing a folder because most settings stick, just downloading of files seems to be a problem, but again not for everyone. So that's why I'm hoping this DFS thing made it act funny. Anyway, I'll keep you up to date on my progress!
Feb 28, 2012 at 10:18 UTC
We are still having trouble. Internet Explorer settings are not sticking. What were your results for DFS? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
Feb 28, 2012 at 10:26 UTC
Hi Mike,
We are also still having trouble. I have opened a ticket with Microsoft and they will be calling me at 10am PST today to discuss the issue. Right now I'm gathering info that I know they will ask, such as create a new user and see if I can duplicate the issue which I can. I also want to ensure I can log in via RDP to take the Citrix piece out because we know MS will point the finger at Citrix if they can. DFS does not seem to be part of the issue as it works for half our users and doesn't work for the other half. One other thing I have noticed is that with PDFs, once I've logged off and back on, internal PDFs on our intranet open just fine, it's anything external. We use a proxy server but have tried bypassing it with the same result. I'll post later this afternoon after I talk to MS. Fingers crossed!
Feb 28, 2012 at 4:55 UTC
Not much of an update just yet, I worked with MS via remote session and walked them through the issue, and I was able to replicate everything using RDP. They got me to run a VBscript to gather some registry info, which I did under the nonworking profile as well as a working one. They want me to run more diagnostic tool, proc mon or something and then they will look over everything and hopefully find what the problem is....

Mar 6, 2012 at 4:09 UTC
Oh, that is great!!! I will try that right now and get back to you. I'm still working with Microsoft with no luck yet....
Mar 6, 2012 at 4:52 UTC
Well that did work, but my profile, which has always worked, still has that setting enabled. So weird...have you looked into how "risky" this is to turn off for everyone? I'm going to let Microsoft know because even if it works, this doesn't seem like the best way to fix the issue. I've been testing, and in addition, if the site is in our Trusted sites list or on our internal intranet, the downloads work fine. So there's something wrong with the IE security settings and Microsoft will need to figure out why it works fro some and not others. I will continue to post. :)
Mar 6, 2012 at 5:43 UTC
Are you logging into Citrix? I think the problem is ONLY inside Citrix. If the user is just using Windows, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Also, since you are in IT, have you given yourself Domain Admin or Administrative rights on your account, in AD? This could give you greater privileges, which may allow you to read/write files, unlike regular accounts. Did you by chance copy your profile, instead of creating a new fresh profile?
I have not looked into how risky this could be. This is on the to do list :). Since we are installing new copiers, and our users print inside Citrix only, I had to make this change immediately. I am already two weeks behind schedule because of this, and I figured that I could apply this setting to all users now, and find a better fix later, if I need to :).
Our users are really good about only visiting business sites, especially inside our Citrix environment, so I am not too worried, even if it is a security risk. But, this is something I will be looking into :).
When you talk to Microsoft, please ask them about this, I am curious on their response. Every time I talk to Microsoft, it seems I am the one finding the answer, instead of them :).
Talk to you soon.
Mar 7, 2012 at 10:11 UTC
Hi Mike,
We are using Citrix but for the purpose of troubleshooting with Microsoft and I am just using RDP and the problem exists there as well. My account does not have any special privilges as in my department have 2 separate accounts, 1 regular and one Domain Admin. With Microsoft we have tried giving users admin rights to the box with no further success. And the users that are just fine are in all different areas of the organization, Admin, HR, Operations, etc.
We did not copy profiles, and i was able to recreate the issue with a brand new user. As of yesterday, this one magically started to work.
I have passed the info I have to Microsoft, and I agree, I seem to know more than they do. I totally understand you wanting to just fix the problem and fix if you have to later, my manager proposed the same thing yesterday when I told her about the setting but luckily I convinced her to just hang tight for a few more days until I get something back from Microsoft. Stay tuned! :)
Mar 19, 2012 at 1:03 UTC
Hi Mike,
Just an update, Microsoft still hasn't come back with anything. The tech I was working with went on vacation and I haven't heard from anyone since. Nice service. We've done what you ended up doing, turning off Protected Mode via group policy in order to be able to move forward with rolling users over to the XenApp 6.5 environment. My network admin wasn't concerned about turning off Protected Mode (MS never responded to that question either, surprise surprise) as we have many other security measures in place including a dual layer firewall and good antivirus software. So, maybe we'll never know. At this point troubleshooting will be more of a pain since I have that setting via group policy and I'm not turning it off and on and off and on for MS to "troubleshoot" some more...
Mar 19, 2012 at 1:23 UTC
Hi Carolilla,
Good to hear that you are now able to move users to XenApp. We have turned the setting off system wide. There are many different opinions, some saying it is a security risk, and others saying it is not. I have not found a clear answer, but when I do, I will post back :-).
Aug 30, 2012 at 11:59 UTC

Have you been able to resolve this issue? We are on the phone support with Microsoft trying to resolve what sounds like the same issue.

After reading through this thread and finding that disabling / enabling the protected mode option via GPO didn't seem to make any difference I kept at it and finally found the option 'Run in logged-on user's security context (user policy option)' was not ticked. After ticking this box and running a GPupdate /force testing showed that the changes were being held correctly. After logging out and back in the user no longer got the security message popup about https connections etc.
Happy days! Hopefully this little extra bit of info will help someone else scratching their head over this silly problem!

Please help us make room to save more homeless pets!!! Adopting from Hope Rescues saves the life of two.. the one you adopt and the one your adoption makes room for. We are a Rescue which means we physically go and save lives. Hope pulls animals on their last day of life from animal control facilities that still use the inhumane gas chamber to put to death homeless pets. Please visit our website at www.hoperescues.com
Stop By the Petco in Edwardsville at Edwardsville Crossing Shopping Center every Saturday from 11am to 4pm.
Thank You!
