Time spent with family makes Black Friday Eve at Walmart bearable
Mammoth retailer Walmart has taken some heat this year for its Black Friday Eve sales, which critics say keep both employees and shoppers away from their families on Thanksgiving Day.
The parking lot of the super Walmart at Franklin Mills Mall in Northeast Philadelphia was nearing capacity around 7:30 p.m. Thursday, and the crowds were already idly standing in the rows. Some sections were marked off with caution tape to "keep shoppers from bum rushing the products" said one employee who'd prefer to keep his name secret.
Northeast residents Lee Flood and her daughter Lauren Smith agree, Black Friday sales can get pretty crazy. They know, they've been doing it for together for 16 years. "Bring the good attitude and the patience," Flood said. "A lot of people can't hack it."
Her daughter finds the experience entertaining. She's in the store picking up a few things for her own daughter and a fire pit for her husband, who was recently laid off. Smith works two nursing jobs and appreciates getting the "best sales. I also love spending time with my mom," she said at checkout.
Sonny Jenkins, of nearby Bensalem, keeps his hand resting on a Memory Foam Mattress Topper for his wife. He's at Walmart with his daughter, a bride-to-be, who's off looking at vacuum cleaners as he waits for the sale to begin in the bedding aisle. At 8 p.m. an employee will approach Jenkin's aisle and release the merchandise. "So far, it's been pretty peaceful," he said, "but I'm beginning to feel claustrophobic."
Monica Parisio and her daughter Anna Parisio have been waiting in the pen aisle since 4 p.m. for a 32-inch HD TV that goes on sale at 10 p.m. They are first in line and expect to leave the store around midnight. Parisio and her daughter say they've made three new friends waiting for the TV that, "my son [had] better appreciate."
In a less occupied aisle of throw pillows, James Bond, 16, is guarding his mother's haul, which is about three carts full of comforters, toys and cookware. Bond's cousin, Kayla Olsen, 12, was "jumped on" to get two dollar towels. "It's crazy! And we get to stay up late," said Olsen of her and her three cousins. Mom and aunt Danielle Dussinger explain that Walmart's Black Friday sales are a family ritual. "Just have fun, don't get knocked out!" she said.
At the front of the store, 8-year Walmart manager Sicily Ruff is keeping an eye on the flow of shoppers in and out of the store, occasionally sticking a finger over her right ear to listen to the earpiece in the left. Besides being tired, she says it's going pretty well. "It's the same as it always is."

HOUSTON - Vacations, weddings and an anniversary trip were all canceled or delayed by one problem with a major airline at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Passengers who paid for a flight they didn't get to take called KPRC Local 2 when they couldn't get their money back.
The trip to Las Vegas was supposed to be a celebration for Mike and Wanda Boswell's 43rd wedding anniversary. Eleven members of the Khalil family were headed to a family wedding. Both parties, 15 people in all, bought tickets on Spirit Airlines. Bad weather in Chicago delayed the flight from 10:30 p.m. until 2 a.m..
"We got there way before midnight," explained Jamal Khalil.
But he said when passengers showed up to check in and check bags, the Spirit ticket counter was empty. The Transportation Safety Administration checkpoint was closed.
"Spirit Airlines was a ghost town," said Mike Boswell. "I mean, there was nobody."
Passengers stuck at the counter called Spirit's customer service number.
"I was on the phone. My brother was on the phone. There were about 15 people on the phone at the same time," recalled Mia Khalil.
All of them got the same answer.
"You're no-shows," said Boswell, repeating what Spirit agents told him.
With no way to check bags or get through security, the plane came and left without them.
"The only thing we could do is wait for the ticket counter to open again," said Jamal Khalil.
Follow up letters and emails got no results. In one email to the Boswells, a Spirit representative wrote: "If a customer does not show up for a flight, or does not board the aircraft for any reason, the flight is automatically cancelled" and "the airfare is non-refundable."
"It was a definitive no," said Khalil. "'You were a "no-show. You forfeited the ticket.'"
When KPRC Local 2 called, a Spirit Airlines representative emailed to say they're reimbursing the Boswell and Khalil families and giving them future flight credits.
"We're glad that you got involved," Boswell said.
The families have not yet received their refunds, but KPRC Local 2 will follow up and make sure that happens.

As a webmaster Link Building seems like a very daunting task; with so much misinformation, poor advice and varied personal opinions on the web it's not hard to see why most people can be confused as to where to start – the most common questions I get asked by clients and friends are:
- What are the best types of links to build?
- How many links do I need to get to the first page of Google?
- Should I use the same keyword anchor text or mix it up with brand terms?
Well all of that is relative…
Invariably my answer starts by asking them more about their competition. Competitor analysis is a very important part of the link building puzzle. By understanding what your competition are doing to hold on to those all important and much sought after search engine results then you too can learn more about the types of links you need, what type of anchor text and generally the volumes of links you might need to rank well.
With so many tools available in the market place and the large amounts of data that can be produced by them it has never been easier to snoop on your competitors. In this post I am going to carry out a competitor analysis for Cash Cow UK, a free to use internet auction site, so you can understand a little more about the processes I use to analyse the link profiles of my clients competitors.
Using the free to use Google Keyword Tool I normally find 50-100 keyword phrases that my client wants to rank well for to get more traffic to their site. I then run a quick Google search to find out who the top 5 ranking pages for those keywords are and make a note of them. (There are some more advanced automated techniques that I use to do this but for now I want to keep it simple)
For the purpose of this case study I am going to just focus on 3 key word phrases:
Online Auction – 60,500 UK Searches per month
Online Car Auction – 8,500 UK Searches per month
Free Online Auction – 1,300 UK Searches per month
Intuitively you would think that eBay would be top for at least 2 of these search terms however they only appear once in these SERP's and in position 2, this is very common to find when you ask a client to tell you more about their market as they often over state and under state their competition's online presence.
I have decided to look a little more at the back link profiles of uk.madbid.com, ebay.co.uk, uk.ebid.net and totalbids.co.uk in order to find some quality link opportunities. The two tools I would recommend are SEO Spyglass it's free to trial and less than $100 for a license or you could try the SEOMoz pro tools again it is free to trial but its $99 a month thereafter, however it provides lots of great data, including Social data and tonnes of great reports.
Below is the output from SEOMoz's Link Metrics Comparison tool, as you can see there are lots of external links pointing to eBay and ebid however Total Bids who we saw were ranking very highly for Free Online Auction only have 200 external links. So I will probably start here to understand this better.
What we are interested in here is the Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA), this is a value calculated by SEOMoz based on the quality of links that are pointing at the page. SEO Spyglass does not have DA and PA but it does give you the Google Page Rank of the linking page and linking root domain which can also be useful to determine good quality links.
Go to Open Site Explorer and input the page you want to analyse; in this case I have input www.totalbids.co.uk
As you can see this page has over 1100 links from over 100 different domains, it has received only 7 Facebook shares and 1 tweet. This looks like quite an easy link profile to investigate to find some great links.
Firstly we want to look at the Anchor Text, this is very easy to do in both OSE and SEO Spyglass:
As you can see a lot of their anchor text is just their brand name there are very few links containing the keyword that they rank well for. I would say over 50% of their links don't have any mention of Online Auction or Free Online Auction. This means that we are working in a niche where quality counts.
You now want to export the links report into Microsoft Excel by using the Download to CSV function. I normally only export the domains and followed links so that I can see what type of site they are and to determine how easy or difficult it will be to obtain the link. I normally don't export no follow links as these are often just blog comments and have very little link value.
Now you want to do the same for all of the link profiles of the other competitors and add them to your list. You should now have a master list of several hundred if not thousands of domains to target.
I normally then sort the lists of domains by DA or Page rank and categorise them as one of the following:
- Info Site – low quality information site
- Education or Government Site – hard to find links
- News Site – quality newspaper or news site e.g. Mashable
- Article/Press Release
- Blog –possible Guest Blogging opportunity or product review
- Web Directory – easy to obtain by submitting a link
Then in the same spreadsheet I then put a few notes and actions I have taken e.g. when I sent an email to the webmaster, contact details of the blogger etc.
Advanced Tip: If any of the blogs have a Twitter Account, be sure to make a note of it and write down the number of followers they have and their Klout Score. This will help you determine whether they are a key influencer in their niche and how much effort you should put into getting a link on their site. You can easily find someone's Klout score by visiting www.klout.com/(username) where (username) is their Twitter username.
Now that you have your list of sites to approach for a link you need to decide what your approach will be. How much time will you spend chasing that elusive link and what can you do to get it.
I normally approach link building with the easy links first I list the site on all the directory sites that I have found and if they are paid directories I will sum up whether or not the quality of the site is worth paying for the link to be added or not. I usually do this by looking at the DA and PA of the pages my link would appear on and whether it would be just as easy to get a free link from another source.
As for the article and press release directories I will submit a few pieces of content to these if they have a good DA but I really don't value these types of links and I believe the Search Engines have devalued these types of links over time too. However SEO is not just about getting links it's about getting traffic and brand recognition too so a few press releases/articles now and again never hurt.
If it is a lower value blog or site that I want to target for a back link then I may simply send them a nice email asking for a link adding to their article, in this case their list of eBay alternatives. With this link analysis I also discovered a number of Blogspot, WordPress, Squidoo and other web 2.0 properties. I would consider making some web 2.0 properties myself if I couldn't persuade the owner to give me a link. For the higher quality news sites and blogs then I will spend time getting to know the blogger or webmaster in order to get a guest post, share an infographic I have created or perhaps get them to review my client's product. This is where you want to target your most efforts, a link from a few high profile web sites can catapult your site in to the big time so this is where you want to be creative and invest your time.
I hope you found this guide useful and hopefully it's given you some insight into how easy link building can be by researching your competition.

There have been a number of questions from you and one of our readers had a number of good ones. Below are just a few of the things you've asked about and some answers we hope will be helpful.
I am using a program that tells me the calories, protein, fiber, and other nutrients in what I'm eating and it tells me I'm not getting enough of many of these. Am I getting enough?
I suspect your nutrition tracker is programmed to compare your intake with someone who is eating a regular diet, not a diet that is lower in calories.
The Mayo Clinic Diet has been analyzed for its nutritional adequacy and people who have been on it have had vitamin levels measured, so if you're following it as prescribed, you'll be fine.
It would be extremely unusual to not get enough fiber on this diet because of unlimited amounts of vegetables and fruits along with whole grains. Regarding calories, although you start out at a prescribed level that may seem too low, remember you can eat generous amounts of vegetables and fruits.
This will increase your calorie intake a little, but not too much. We've taken that into consideration in our calorie levels. Also, most people tend to eat a few more calories than what they think they're eating. Ultimately, what counts is if you're losing weight at an appropriate rate (approximately 1-2 pounds per week in the Live It! phase).
How can I convert servings on The Mayo Clinic Diet to calories and protein?
The number of calories per serving from each of the food groups and the amount of food in a serving for most foods is listed on pages 210-223.
Just total up the calories from all your servings in each food group for the day (with the correct amount of food in each serving) and you should get pretty close. Most foods contain a little protein, even those that are not in the protein/dairy group.
So, you'll be getting more protein in your overall diet than just the protein from the foods in the protein/dairy group and for this reason it's difficult (and may not be necessary) to calculate exactly how much. The bottom line is if you follow the pyramid and our guidelines, you'll get enough protein.
I thought monounsaturated fats were the best and I'm trying to focus on them. Why does The Mayo Clinic Diet seems to lump all fats together?
We don't lump all fats together — we emphasize unsaturated fats and especially monounsaturated fat (see page 28-29, Eat Healthy Fats) You're right, there is evidence they have a beneficial effect on health, so if you like olive oil and nuts, include them in your diet (just watch the number of servings!).
The Mayo Clinic Diet does not seem to count the carbs in vegetables and fruits, only whole grains. How do I know how many carbs I'm getting?
In terms of carbs, we realize you'll be getting some in vegetables and fruits — but if you follow the program your total intake will be fine. We wanted to make this simple so you don't have to worry about counting carbs. In general, foods contain a mixture of carbs, protein and fat. The foods in each of our food groups are good sources of the nutrients in that group, but may also contain other nutrients.
We designed The Mayo Clinic Diet and the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid to meet your needs and do it safely. We also designed it to be simple. While you may not have all the same details that other programs may use, realize that if you follow our guidelines you should do fine — don't make it too hard. Good luck!

NORWALK - Lillian Sneed was a trailblazing entrepreneur who had a love and encyclopedic knowledge of music.
For more than 50 years, Sneed was a fixture on the local music scene, owning and operating an indie music store that would become the iconic Norwalk Records, renowned for its vast selection of R&B and oldies.
Sneed opened the Norwalk Records location in 1965, and it's still housed in the same brick building at 12142 Firestone Blvd.
Ken Menchaca, 57, of Norwalk, said he has shopped at Norwalk Records since 1967, and he appreciated Sneed's vast music knowledge.
"I would hum a few bars to a song and she knew what song it was and would find it in the store," Menchaca said. "Lillian was sharp, and she taught her staff to be sharp, too. That's why I always shop here."
Sneed died Christmas Eve from kidney failure, said her husband, Richard Sneed. She was 82.
"It's a big loss, and we are all feeling it," Menchaca said.
Sneed is survived by her husband, her children William Walker and Diana Jean Conenna, six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. A public service is scheduled for 2 p.m. Jan. 5 at the Forest Lawn Memorial Parks and Mortuaries in Cypress.
"Lillian was a trailblazer and an entrepreneur," said William Berkshire, 48, who lived next door to the Sneeds for 47 years and shopped at the store.
Thursday was a sad day at the store as employees, past and present, and customers gathered to share laughs, memories and tears about Sneed, who many people called "the Queen of Norwalk Records."
"Lillian built the business and made it what it is," said store manager Edie Gonzales, 47, who has worked at the store in various positions since 1984.
"Lillian was the face of Norwalk Records. She ran the shop," her husband said. "She worked three generations of customers."
Before Norwalk Records, Sneed ran Auction City Records. She and her first husband, Arthur Walker, opened the store in 1958 at Auction City, an open-air carnival at Studebaker Road and Firestone Boulevard.
Richard Sneed first worked with Lillian and her husband at Auction Records in 1959 but left in 1965 when he joined the military and went to Vietnam. Richard returned after she divorced Walker and together they opened Norwalk Records on Firestone Boulevard.
Norwalk Records started as an inventory of 45 rpm singles and 33-1/3 albums, followed by 8-track tapes and cassettes and eventually CDs. Norwalk Records also sold its music at swap meets. The store sold all genres of music and supported local musicians.
Bruce Soto of the R&B Latin band Soto said he felt the group had hit the big time when Norwalk Records started selling their CDs in 2004.
"For local musicians, it was difficult to get our music in any store, but Lillian was a big supporter of local music," Soto said. "She would carry it."
Norwalk Records found its niche with R&B and oldies.
"This place is iconic," said Johnny Estrada, 50, of Whittier, who has shopped at the store since 1972. "There isn't any other store like this, especially in Chicano culture. ... It is the only place to find the oldies and R&B, which we grew up listening to."
He said that more than 90 percent of his 2,500 albums were purchased at Norwalk Records.
"She had the songs before they were hits on the radio," Estrada said.
But music buyers have turned away from CDs and to MP3s. At its heyday in the '80s and '90s, Norwalk Records employed 22 people. That number has dropped to four.
"I was thinking of closing the store in 2013," Richard Sneed said, "but now I think I'll go as long as I can."

YORKSHIRE overseas player Kane Williamson has been banned from bowling in all cricket due to an illegal action.
The New Zealander, primarily a batsman, bowls useful part-time off-spinners, which have brought him eight wickets in County Championship and Twenty20 cricket combined this summer.
Williamson was reported for a suspect action during a recent Test series in the West Indies, and he had his action tested at Cardiff University on July 9.
The results were published today, with the ICC saying "most of his deliveries exceeded the 15 degrees level of tolerance (relating to the extension of his right elbow) permitted under the regulations".
Williamson will only be allowed to recommence bowling duties once he has had his action legalised, which could happen before the end of the summer.
However, there is a chance that he could miss the last two Championship matches anyway because of commitments at the Champions League T20 with Northern Knights through mid to late September.
"I will concentrate on changing whatever's necessary to return to the bowling crease," said Williamson.
"The onus is on me to satisfy assessors as to the legality of my action, and I'm aware I have some hard work in front of me."
Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie has backed his player to overcome the setback.
"We know Kane works incredibly hard on all facets of his game, and there's no doubt he'll be working hard to be back bowling sooner rather than later," he said.

Robert D. Hatcher, Jr., to receive GSA 2006 Penrose MedalBoulder, CO � Dr. Robert D. Hatcher, Jr., University of Tennessee Department of Earth and Planetary Science, is recipient of the 2006 Geological Society of America Penrose Medal. The award will be given at the GSA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA, at the Presidential Address and Awards Ceremony on Saturday, 21 October 2006.
Dr. Hatcher is a UT Distinguished Scientist and Professor, Tectonics and Structural Geology. He holds B.A. and M.S. degrees in geology and chemistry from Vanderbilt University and a Ph.D. in structural geology from the University of Tennessee. Before joining the UT faculty in 1986, he taught and conducted research at Clemson University, Florida State University, and the University of South Carolina.
The Geological Society of America Penrose Medal, established in 1927 by R.A.F. Penrose, Jr., recognizes outstanding original contributions or achievements that mark major advances in the science of geology.
Dr. Hatcher was first to apply concepts of plate tectonics to the southern Appalachians; his tectonic map of the Appalachians has been used in subsequent international research. He also served as a geologist advisor for the Consortium for Continental Reflection Profiling (COCORP) seismic project, which pioneered new techniques for exploring the continental lithosphere.
"Bob is one of those rare geologists who integrates field geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geochronology, and structural geology to decipher complex mountain systems," said Dr. Michael W. Higgins, Geologic Mapping Institute, Clayton, GA, who nominated Hatcher for the Penrose Medal. "In addition to his achievements in scientific research, Bob has a long and distinguished record of service to the profession as an author, editor, and educator."
The Geological Society of America, founded in 1888, is a scientific society with 20,000 members from academia, government, and industry in more than 85 countries. Through its meetings, publications, and programs, GSA enhances the professional growth of its members and promotes the geosciences in the service of humankind. Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, GSA encourages cooperative research among earth, life, planetary, and social scientists, fosters public dialogue on geoscience issues, and supports all levels of earth science education.

Quick synopsis of what has happened to my dad... Klatskin tumor removal 10/31/12,biloma hospitalization in November, ascites hospitalization 2 times in December. Relatively uneventful January. February hopefully will begin chemotherapy. Port going in on Thursday.
Ned advise on some of the other bizarre things that are going on with him. He has double vision, he is seeing "trailers" behind moving things....for instance a glass he sees go up 24 inches when it may only go up 6. He is sometimes confused by events of the day. His hands are shaking with movement.... Gripping a fork is challenging, threading a zipper is challenging. Essentially his fine motor skills have deteriorated to that of a 5 year old due to the shaking hands and the double vision. He has finished all of his lasix and is now sleeping better at night. His appetite for the most part is good and he is getting physically stronger as he has been released from pt. We are weaning him off of his rx of wellbutrin, which I am hopeful maybe some of it.
His doctors for the most part have said that it is due to the trauma from the surgery and the subsequent complications but it is not adding up to me. His surgery was three months ago and before the surgery his hands did not shake and he did not have double vision. It is very hard for us to see this unbelievable change- from very healthy and strong man to cutting up his food. If any of you could shed some insight I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Keane and Juninho broke Chivas USA's backs and dealt a blow to their playoff chances while helping the LA Galaxy to a 4-0 rout on Sunday night at The Home Depot Center.
The Galaxy claimed the SuperClasico series victory over the Rojiblancos for the seventh time in eight seasons, winning two of this year's three matchups and outscoring Chivas 7-2 in the process.
Juninho's pair and one each from Keane and Omar Gonzalez, plus a career-high four assists from Landon Donovan pushed the Galaxy 10 points ahead of Chivas. The Goats do have four games in hand, but on the night LA left no doubt over who the better team were.
OPTA CHALKBOARD: Donovan runs wild as Galaxy destroy Chivas
The Galaxy broke through in the 27th minute with the help of a poor giveaway from Ben Zemanski. Keane wound up with it, slipping a pass to Donovan on the right side of the penalty area then diving to the near post for the return ball and a 1-0 lead.
HIGHLIGHTS: CHV vs LA
It was a lead a long time coming as Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy made a string of fantastic early saves to keep the visitors off the board. But the floodgates eventually opened despite Kennedy's heroics.
Chivas came out gunning for an early goal in the second half – nearly getting it when Nick LaBrocca had his shot cleared off the line by Todd Dunivant. Juan Agudelo got to the rebound and fired another rocket but A.J. DeLaGarza stepped in front and turned him away.
That seemed to spur the Galaxy on, and they stretched the lead to 2-0 in the 64th through Juninho. Donovan raced down the field on a quick counterattack and fed the Brazilian, who calmly curled a shot over Kennedy's head and into the upper 90 to give LA an insurmountable 2-0 edge.
Just to be sure Chivas would have no comeback, Juninho scored his second goal of the match minutes later. After a quick build-up he snuck back post to one-time Donovan's cross past Kennedy.
Gonzalez finished off the night's fireworks by heading home a Donovan corner kick with seven minutes left. It was the 2011 Defender of the Year's first goal since his return from a winter ACL tear.
The Galaxy (11-11-3, 36 points) face a short turnaround with a trip to Columbus on Wednesday. Chivas USA (7-9-5, 26 points) travel to Colorado to face the Rapids on Saturday.
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw
|Landon Donovan
|Finishing touch deserted him, so he just went out and set a career-high for assists. Now leads the league in 2012, and is 4th all-time. Ho-hum.
|Donovan put both goals on a tee, but both required timing, technique and confidence (especially the first one). Great defensive work, too.
|Dan Kennedy
|Has a 'keeper ever played better in a 4-0 drubbing? Could have been 10-0.

The False ClaimTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
Sunday had finally come for Detective Kelvin Wallace. It was the day of the auction. He was an avid collector of antique items. He was looking for something from the collection of a king, especially Louis XIV, as he did not have any of his items.
Finally, the collection of King Louis XIV came up for auction. The first item was a bathing towel which was supposedly used every day by King Louis XIV. Everyone was eager to get his hands on the old torn piece of cloth, but Detective Wallace knew that it was a fake piece and decided to leave the auction hall immediately.
How did he know that the towel was fake?
HintDetective Kelvin Wallace knew his history well.
AnswerDetective Wallace knew it was a fake because there was no possibility of the king using the cloth every day. King Louis XIV only took three baths in his life of 77 years, and he desired none of them.
The three times were:
1.When he was baptized.
2.When a mistress insisted.
3.When a doctor lanced a boil on his derriere and ordered him to soak in a tub filled with water.
What Next?

Been lurking here since I started golfing last season, I'm now soundly into my second and have what I think is a reasonably solid bag. Tear it apart for me, tell me what's wrong, what's right, and what's plain dumb.
Discmania S-DD - 171g - I don't actually ever throw this really. I suppose it's there for max D?
Discmania S-CD - 174g - I can get this out to about 300-320 on an anny line. It's much like the disc below, except more stable. Wind anny's, S shots, etc.
Discmania D-CD - 172g - Beat to hell, flips up and over from a slight hyzer, great for when I ne4ed an easy driver anhyzer at about 300ft or a bit longer.
Discmania C-PD - 168g - Pretty fresh, and feels great. I use it for control drives in the wind, or when I need a real big hyzer.
Discmania S-PD Freak - 167g - Fresh, flies real nice in light-medium wind, finishes hard at 330-350ft or so, in gameplay. Easy to shape hyzer lines with.
Discmania S-PD Freak - 165g - Seasoned/getting there. My primary driver, doesn't finish as hard as the newer one, flies straight, will hold a slight anny if I snap it well.
Discmania P-PD Freak - 171g - Not sure why this is here to be honest. Pretty beat, never throw it in game. Kinda S curves if thrown slightly hyzer or flat.
Innova KC Pro Roc - 178g - Newest, most stable. Flies real straight, holds a fast hyzer out to 280-300ft.
Innova KC Pro Roc - 176g - Lightly seasoned. Flies and finishes pretty straight except in big wind or when my torque comes out for no reason.
Innova KC Pro Roc - 180g - Same as above. It's a mental thing, Both are about the same, but I like to have a backup. I alternate which I throw so they beat up evenly.
Innova KC Pro Roc - 177g - A little more beat than the above. Flips to a light turn from flat, or to flat from hyzer. Pretty glidy. Plus, it's pink.
Innova KC Pro Roc - 179g - Most beat of the KCs. Turns hard, holds an anny line easily, or flips to flat from a pretty good hyzer start.
Innova DX Rancho Roc - 180g - Found this with no digits, 2010 ZBoaz Open stamp. Beat all to shit. Turns and glides so damn pretty and it's real flat. Like a buzzz.
(All the KCs are 12x, nothing special. Just love the feel of the plastic. I'm an addict. 3 are white, one of which has a purple stamp, one is black, one is pink.)
Innova KC Pro Aviar - 176g - Seasoned, driving/upshot putter. Holds an anny pretty good, flies dead straight off a flat drive without much flippiness.
Innova KC Pro Aviar - 174g - Newer, driving/upshot putter. Both of these get used on anything shorter than 250' off the tee. This one's more stable, holds a hyzer line well.
Discraft Pro-D Banger GT - 175g - More stable, strictly upshots and weird outshots where I need a short, hard fade. This is in flux, I think.
Discmania P-line P1 Maniac - 176g - Sentimental value. I don't like soft putters, I don't think, but this is the first disc I ever bought. It's in the bag just because.
Innova DX Classic Roc - 171g - This is used for actual putting. Also use it when I need laser straight 250ft and shorter drives or upshots, or slight hyzers or anhyzers.
Innova DX Classic Roc - 176g - Same as the above. I putt with the heavier one primarily and upshoot and drive with the lighter one. I'm a weirdo.
I'm a Chicago area golfer, and play the Western burbs (Lombard area) primarily, with frequent trips to Mokena and Joliet.
Most of the courses here are pitch and putt and the drivers don't get a lot of use, but I normally throw drivers on holes where I need more than 300 feet of distance (in gameplay, I can reliably put my main PD out to about 350ft) or around 300ft on a hyzer or anhyzer line depending on the driver and the hole. Or in real heavy headwinds, which we definitely get sometimes.
The Rocs get thrown at any tee and upshot from 300ft down to about 240 depending on the line needed and the wind conditions, and I'm learning how to use them to shape as many different lines as possible, but it's tough going sometimes. I wish they made them in champ. I may look into the C-MD2 from Discmania as an alternative?
Putters are for drives under 240ft generally, usually with the KC Aviars, but sometimes the Classic Rocs on certain lines. The Banger never gets driven, just for real short upshots where I want a heavy-handed spike or hyzer. I don't know if this is right, but it seems to do the trick. The Classic Rocs are the ones I use for actual putting as well. I like that they're fast, and not very tall, and this is probably because my putting form is shit. I'm working on that, and this may change. The Maniac never gets thrown ever, it's just there because it's the first disc I bought when I started playing last year.
Anyway, tell me what's good, what isn't, and where I have holes that I haven't forseen or don't know about?

Fresh on the heels of rolling out its virtual desktop-as-a-service Simplified DaaS, Dell is bolstering its cloud services offerings again with Integration Packs, "a point-to-point integration solution … that enables automatic synchronization of critical data between popular software applications."
For $65 a month, customers will be able to sync financial tool QuickBooks with Microsoft Dynamics and Salesforce.com's customer relationship management (CRM) services starting in June.
Based on technology Dell acquired when it bought Boomi, all synchronization is automatic, Dell said. A wizard allows customers "to easily deploy them by simply checking a few selection boxes," it said.
"Our customers tell us integration is a core requirement to successful adoption of cloud applications," Paulette Altmaier, vice president and general manager of Dell Cloud Business Software, said in a press release. "With Dell Integration Packs, we make integration easy and cost-effective for small and medium businesses to seamlessly share data between applications and drive faster time-to-value."
Dell said the Integration Packs help improve finance and sales productivity with increased visibility and collaboration across teams. "Ninety-four percent of small and medium businesses integrate their cloud applications with other on-premise and cloud systems. As a matter of fact, integration is the key to maximizing the business value of cloud applications" Anurag Agrawal, CEO Techaisle, said in a statement. "Dell Integration Packs minimizes the time and effort required to connect mission-critical systems so businesses can speed their time to value from new cloud applications."
How does Dell's Boomi work? As then-Boomi chief Rick Nucci told Wired Enterprise right after being bought:
"Our cloud service allows you to connect any combination of cloud or on-premise apps, and the connections are to enable a business process of some sort," Nucci explained when we met him for lunch not long after his company was swallowed by Dell. "So, if you got a lead that originates in a marketing automation application, the data can move into CRM system, and when the deal is closed, we can move the information into a finance system, and it might go from there into a support system to manage relationships with customers."
"You may be running two applications or dozens. But Boomi sits in between these apps and orchestrates the movement of all that data as it happens."
With Dell's desktop-as-a-service Simplified DaaS, announced last week, the company has partnered with Desktone (see the company's recent guest post in reply to Citrix's DaaS news.)
While aimed at small- and medium-size businesses, Dell's cloud portfolio seems clearly focused on hot cloud services companies of all sizes are considering.
Dennis Callaghan, senior enterprise software analyst at The 451 Group, says: "Organizations of all sizes implementing SaaS applications or cloud services require integration services to connect what's running on-premise with what's running in the cloud. Much of the early usage of these cloud integration technologies was around connecting Salesforce.com with internal applications. While that remains an important use case, we're seeing increasing demand for connecting other SaaS applications with internal applications or each other. Meanwhile, larger enterprises that have already made significant investments in middleware need cloud integration services that extend and enhance that legacy middleware, protecting their valuable IT investments."
Have your say: Were Dell's Boomi buy and Desktone partnership smart cloud moves? Will it build beyond SMB? Is the post-PC Dell in full swing?Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

i'm looking 2-10 individuals willing to help get the main site caught up and ready to launch as well as help with keeping it updated as things move forward.
the new format can be seen at:
the code is a blog code. if you are familiar with blog codes it should be pretty easy. basically, the disc will be the primary post and each review posted will be a "comment" that needs to to be approved to be posted.
this is a 3 phase process.
phase 1 (probably need 5-12 people):
get old reviews ported over to the new format. this basically involves having people log in and copy old reviews and post them on the new site and getting relevant info posted in the primary disc description. this will involve a lot of work but will probably be broken down by quite a bit. e.g. 1 person does aerobie, 1 person does DGA, etc.
relevant info would involve adding things like joe's flight chart numbers, manufacturer's ratings, and a picture of the disc. we will have a format to be followed for these. basic image editing skills are recommended.
porting over old reviews will require copy/pasting old reviews into the new form and hitting post.
i would like to separate things a bit more, which would require a bit of PITA work. like, the champion valkyrie, proline jk valkyrie, and the champion edition valkyrie should be separate items.
phase 2 (probably need 5-8 people):
getting reviews that haven't been posted yet added to the site. i have about 1500 emails with reviews waiting to get posted. i will forward these to the parties involved. people will probably have 50-100 reviews each they would be responsible for posting.
new items will need to be added if there isn't already one created.
phase 3 (probably need ~5 people):
keeping the site updated once everything goes live.
this will basically be like administrating comments on a blog. you will get an email when one gets posted, you login, read it, and click "approve" or "delete".
these are volunteer positions but i will try to provide as many incentives as possible.
if you are interested in helping with any/all of the above, please hit me with an email or a PM.

And beginners throw like 150 ft. Are beginners only supposed to use a putter? Ive been BHing since this spring. My next purchase was probably going to be an orc.

AC/DC'S entire catalogue, including 20 studio and live albums and three compilations will be available on iTunes for the first time worldwide, Columbia Records and Apple have announced.
Until now the Australian heavy metal group that was formed by two brothers, Angus and Malcolm Young, in 1973, had refused to put their music on Apple's online music store.
"AC/DC's thunderous and primal rock and roll has excited fans for generations with their raw and rebellious brand of music, which also resonates with millions of new fans discovering AC/DC everyday," Columbia Records and Apple, said in a statement announcing the deal.
"Their growing legion of fans will now experience the intensity of AC/DC's music in a way that has never been heard before."
The group's 1976 debut album High Voltage, its classic Back In Black and 2008's Black Ice are among the albums available on iTunes.
AC/DC were previously one of the few acts that would not release music through the digital outlet.
Two years ago Apple struck a deal with The Beatles' record label, EMI Group, and management company, and began selling the legendary band's music.
Kid Rock, who had also been against selling his music through the digital retailer, has just released a new album, Rebel Soul, which is available on iTunes. Country star Garth Brooks, however, has yet to release his music on iTunes.
AC/DC's music has been mastered for iTunes and fans can download entire albums or individual songs.

Sheriff's deputies arrested a man Thursday on suspicion of kidnapping a Twentynine Palms resident at gunpoint to get the person to withdraw money from a bank.
Joseph Lancaster Lampkin, 30, of Twentynine Palms was booked in jail at the sheriff's Morongo Basin station in lieu of $1 million bail.
San Bernardino County sheriff's officials say Lampkin kidnapped the victim Tuesday, taking the person to several banks to get money. The victim escaped and reported the crime.
Deputies tried to arrest Lampkin on Thursday, but he fled in a stolen car and escaped capture. Later that morning, deputies came to the 72000 block of Larrera Avenue on a report of a burglary.
The burglar, who allegedly stole a 1998 Mazda Protege in the burglary, was spotted near the intersection of Buena Vista Drive and Mojave Avenue. Deputies stopped and arrested him on suspicion of kidnapping for robbery.
Deputies suspect Lampkin in several burglaries and robberies in the city during the last week.

Why doesn't this forum have a Indiana Fever forum? There the hottest thing in WNBA right now. Anyone else watch them?
I follow them. I go to at least one game a season. I don't have much time in the summer to go to many games.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
My sig last year was the Fever record, next opponent, and countdown to playoffs. No one seemed to notice or care.
You can make this the Official Indiana Fever thread, and I'll be it doesn't hit 2 pages before the playoffs. That's what happens when they're not on TV.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
They will be on ESPN 2 on the 10th at 9:00 and on FSIN the 12th at 7:00
I'll try to catch a few games here or there. I'll stay updated on their record and how they're doing, but I really don't have anything worth discussing about them
Tamika Catchings is the leading MVP candidate, plus we have two starters for the All Star team, Anna Deforge and Tamike. I love fever basketball. The team is even owned by the Simon Brothers (seem people that own the Pacers.)
Maybe giving the Fever their "own" forum might enhance attention ?
I'm all for it
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
It can't hurt. I'll put it up and let the masses decide if it will live.
I don't mind women's basketball. Some people hate it, but I like to see fundamentals. I don't follow it as much as I should, but I'll watch it if it's on. Especially the Fever.
I am slowly being converted to liking women's basketball. Before I thought it was pretty meh but I'm liking it more and more.
It's hard to follow the Fever from DC though, heck it's hard enough to follow the Pacers and the get a lot more media coverage.
I do see that they beat the hell out of the Chicago Sky today. Chicago's uniforms are almost carbon copies of those of the Denver Nuggets.
Plus the Fever have one guard that's pretty cute, Tan White. I dunno, I just like girls with dreads.
i bought my wife season tickets for the inaugural season...
I wound up going to most of the games that season, and it was a great experience. I took my niece to a game, and she got to be in one of the timeout games on the court...she won the crowd over with her first "dunk", but then couldn't come up with something new for the second one, so she lost against this cute little boy...
We got to be near the court for a lot of the pre-game stuff, and actually became pretty cool with Texlin Quinney...she wore #11, and that was my number at the time in my IndySports league. After the last game of the season, they allowed the fans to go on the court with the players...Texlin got every member of the team to sign mine and my wife's Inaugural Season Ticket holder T-shirts.
I like watching basketball, and I don't really care who's playing. It's exciting no matter what.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead
I listened to the second quarter on the radio. When Chicago was playing awful it reminded me of the first season when Keg and I had season tickets. God, the Fever were awful. I'd like to have seen how well they would have been if we'd bypassed the Nell Fortner years and just kept Anne Donovan.
I think the Fever do a pretty good job of promotion and you can't beat the prices.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
I do look to see if they are playing so I can pick up the stream from wnba.com.
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
Fever are playing the Comets on ESPN2 tonight at 10 Indy time I think. Might have to check it out.
Just tuned in for the last 3 minutes of the Fever-Comets game. 2 point game. Fever up with the ball. Hopefully this will be an exciting finish.
I caught the end of the third; nice to hear they won.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

SANTA CRUZ - Jurors began deliberating for the first full day in the Richard Arthur Chavez trial Tuesday, and an alternate was called in because one of the jurors was ill.
Defense attorneys gave closing statements in the domestic violence homicide case Friday and court was closed Monday due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Chavez, 43, is accused of killing Deanna Dudley, 37, in their Felton home on Feb. 28, 2010, during the Winter Olympics.
Prosecutor Jeff Rosell described Chavez as an alcoholic with a violent temper and a history of domestic abuse, and said Chavez struck the much smaller Dudley with a flashlight in the head at least five times after an argument.
Defense attorneys have argued that Dudley was also an alcoholic who could also be violent, and they say she initiated the flashlight attack on Chavez that night.
Jurors will have the opportunity to consider first- or second-degree murder, or manslaughter.

MIRAMAR, Fla. - The husband of Vilet Torrez, the mother of three who has been missing since late March, has been charged with first degree murder, Miramar police said.
Cid Torrez was arrested Wednesday night about 8 p.m. at his family's home in Miami Lakes.
Vilet Torrez's sister Nayiva Blanco said she and her family were in disbelief over the arrest.
"Never expected it to happen the day before Thanksgiving. We have been thinking about (her) today a lot. A lot. My mother has been crying since this morning, knowing that it was going to be our first Thanksgiving without her," said Blanco.
Authorities held a press conference Wednesday night, but revealed few details about the "meticulous" investigation they've conducted in the nearly eight months leading up to the arrest.
"I don't think that there was one piece of evidence that really put him behind bars. It was a variety of things. When you put them altogether, it was like a puzzle," said officer Tania Rues.
Cid Torrez had been considered a person of interest in the investigation of his estranged wife's disappearance, authorities said. He reported Vilet Torrez missing nearly two days after the last known video of her was recorded Saturday, March 31st, according to authorities. In the 911 call, he claimed he never heard from nor saw his wife, police said. However, phone records obtained by Local 10 show Vilet Torrez called her husband twice at 5:19 a.m.
Blanco said her family will press for justice to be served for her sister and her children.
"It's been extremely hard for our family, for my mother, for everyone," said Blanco. "And we're very happy that we're one step closer to finding out what happened to her because it's not over until we know the truth, until we find her and we're able to tell her children where their mother is."
As news of the arrest spread across South Florida Wednesday night, messages of support for the missing mother's family filled a Facebook page dedicated to her.

3 Impressive Summer Dinner Party Mains
Summer is the time to throw parties. The weather is at its best, people are noticeably laid-back, and produce is at its most beautiful and delicious. Just a little bit of planning goes a long way when it comes to being a...

Looks like the sub 3 hour forum needs a kickstart. Here is the intro from the old forums. I'll just use GregTR's post verbatim. I'm sure he'd do the same thing but he's some sort of cyclist now.
Well here it is boys and girls! The all shiny and new 2013 sub-3 hour thread for veterans and newcomers alile, especially for ones who have a natural aversion to Facebook, don't care for the log feature of RunningAhead or simply just love this forum.
The rules are simple.
1) Be serious about your training. If you're toying with breaking the 3 hour barrier for the first time or you're a sub 2:50 marathoner it doesn't matter. As long as you train hard an honest and don't mind sharing please hang out.
2) Be not so serious about this thread. Don't get your panties in a wad over jabs and jokes and the "occasional" sarcasm, if the past is any indication there will be plenty of it!
3) Post your weelkies not your dailies. We like to see how everyone's training progresses but we're not interested in your 4 mile recovery run and how you felt about it every other day. We can learn from each other's training as that is what partially this thread is about. Obviously if you have an epic badass tempo run or a totally sucky easy run where you twist your ankle we want to hear about those indiviually!
4) Post up your goals. I will keep a running tally up front of the race calendar with everyone's nick, race, date, goal time and actual finishing time once the race is completed. A brief history and/or past sub-3 attempts or successes are optional. The items in bold are your responsibility to tell me about and have me update the list which I will do in a timely manner.
5) Anything else is up for discussion.

With the growth of smart phones and accompanying apps, quick-response codes are starting to fill an important social media marketing role, some avocado marketing agents say.
The Irvine-based California Avocado Commission is using codes, said Jan DeLyser, the organization's vice president of marketing.
"This year, we feature California avocado advertising in the bread aisle, and there are recipes posted, and QR codes on those that will take the consumer to a recipe," DeLyser said.
QR codes provide instant communication to consumers who need information that may close a deal on an impulse sale, DeLyser noted.
"It's further information at the point of purchase that can provide ideas on the spot, to give the consumer ideas," she said. "To get the information to the consumer at the point of purchase helps generate more sales."
For some marketers, QR codes are new enough technology that they are still trying to figure out how best to use them.
"We do QR codes, but we're still trying to figure out what niche they play," said Ross Wileman, vice president of sales & marketing for Oxnard, Calif.-based Mission Produce Inc.
Putting a code on an individual piece of fruit is a challenge, Wileman said, but Mission Produce uses them on some bags.
The Chilean Avocado Importers Association, Washington, D.C., is expanding its use of QR codes, said Maggie Bezart, marketing director with the association.
"All of our point-of-sale materials app to our QR programs," she said.
It meshes well with the association's social media efforts, Bezart said.
"We found we got great interaction with the consumer, and the QR code program is a part of that, driving them to our program each month," Bezart said.
QR codes provide a venue for instant feedback, which is a key social-media strength, said Mary Ostlund, marketing director with Coral Gables, Fla.-based Brooks Tropicals LLC.
"We're visible and vocal when needed," Ostlund said.
Consumers often use Facebook as they would a search engine, and QR codes function much the same way in helping them find answers quickly, Ostlund said.

The best comets are Z Comets. Those guys can take some serious spin. They fly very similar to RR's, and don't cost $40 a piece.

UT System Forms Panel to Review Campus Police Departments
AUSTIN – The University of Texas System Chancellor Francisco G. Cigarroa, M.D., has announced the creation of a systemwide panel that will be charged with reviewing operations at UT campus police departments.
The panel will be made up of senior UT System and campus officials, including auditors, law enforcement officials, business affairs executives and representatives from the UT System offices of General Counsel and Audit, and will examine day-to-day operations such as governance and reporting relationships, financial accounting systems, record-keeping and federal and state compliance issues.
The panel will be headed by Vice Chancellor for Administration Tonya Moten Brown, whose office directs the UT System Office of the Director of Police, the chief investigative law enforcement entity with oversight responsibility for the campus police departments.
Cigarroa called for the formation of the panel after several operational irregularities were discovered during routine inspections by UT System law enforcement officials at various campus police departments over the past year.
"The safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors is of the utmost importance. And while the safety of the campus communities was never compromised, and in the spirit of the UT System's firm belief in continuous improvement, I felt it prudent to form a panel to review how these departments operate so that best practices can be determined and implemented," Cigarroa said. The panel's findings will be reported to the UT System Board of Regents later this year, he added.
The UT System operates 14 police departments across its 15 institutions and employs more than 450 sworn peace officers. The majority of the officers undergo a rigorous training program as cadets at the UT System Police Academy in Austin.
