Hey, welcome to my Partner With Pete review!
Partner With Pete is a new system that recently launched. I've looked at what other people are saying about this product and quite frankly every single review I have read has been PURE HYPE. So I've decided to check it out for myself to learn the truth and share my no hype findings with you.
Before I get started if you are interested in seeing how I make a full time income online click here to see my no.1 recommendation!
First things first the sales pitch for Partner With Pete. I always take sales pitches with a pinch of salt because let's face it, they are designed to SELL however what I don't like is the claim that you're getting a website which has cost "Pete" $1,500 and that this is limited to just 50 people. The simple FACT is that it's not limited to 50 people and it didn't cost $1,500. There are 100's of ClickSure affiliates promoting this and I highly doubt they are all fighting over a mere 50 sales.
The next thing I don't like is that you are told there is nothing to buy but this isn't true either. Although you don't need to buy any products to use Partner With Pete you still need to buy a domain and hosting. And this is how the creator of Partner With Pete makes his money. It's also where the money comes from to pay affiliates.
With the negatives aside the good news is that technically there is no product to buy. You simply have to register a domain and hosting through the provider that Partner With Pete recommends. Once you register your domain and hosting you can go ahead and use the Partner With Pete training.
So let me give you a list of the negatives and the positives for Partner With Pete.

Hopefully you've found my review helpful and a change from the hyped up nonsense you'll find on most other websites. If you have any questions or comments simply leave them below or send me a private message

Sorry to post that he is scam.
I signed up this program that leaded me to cloudprohosting.com to get domain, web hosting and SEO Gold monthly package since 26 November 2013 which cost about 200$. The wordpress website style just finished on 19 December 2013. Since the day I appied I couldn't get access to his website to get more info. And instruction. He never replied single of my email I follow up with him. Only sent me the Opt in emails that link to product belong to other IM.
Now i waited for my refund for Seo Gold monthly package which was cost 150$ per month because my website took about a month to finish and couldn't even contact Pete.
I would like to rate this as scammed.

Millionayres is now on Etsy!
I'm proud to introduce MadeByMillionayres on Etsy. Yes, yes I've joined the hoard of crafters flocking to etsy.com to sell their wares in this awesome online craft fair of sorts. So far I've only launched with a few items, and I mean a few. I've got 5 things listed but hey it's a start. And I thought blogging was involved! When you consider all that goes in to every single post…pictures, descriptions, tags, categories, shipping calculations, yada yada yada, the list goes on and on, but it's worth the shot.
Here are the items I've got listed for now, but hope to soon add a boat load more! (Each picture has a direct link)
Eventually sets like this one will be added that will hopefully make the Millionayres etsy site a one stop shop for all sorts of gifts and goodies.

green leafy substance, and a scale. Davis was also found to be in
possession of a ledger and cash. Investigating further, officers
found evidence the passenger of the car, Turner, had
methamphetamine, pills, and a syringe hidden on her person. Due to

DESPITE swirling speculation that there would be a leadership spill for Northern Territory Labor, its leader Delia Lawrie denies she has been challenged.
On Wednesday afternoon, her chief of staff David Money sent out an email saying he was moving to the office of Michael Gunner, sparking reports that Mr Gunner was eyeing the top job.
Labor MPs were called to parliament for a strategy meeting later on Wednesday, but Ms Lawrie denied there was a spill.
"I confirm that there has been no leadership spill and I have the full support of my Labor team," she said in a statement.
The meeting was a planning day "to discuss the achievement of a pro-Labor swing in Solomon and winning Lingiari in the recent federal election", she said.
She was recruiting a new chief of staff as Labor focuses "on the failures of the CLP Territory government and Labor's positive plan for the future of the Northern Territory".
"False rumours such as those reported would be music to the ears of the CLP who want a distraction from power price hikes, teacher cuts from our schools and a failure to deliver for the bush," Ms Lawrie said.
Mr Money did not return calls for comment.

Judy Gale's World
While Judy Gale has been comfirmed as not being an Erfworld native, very little is known about the world from where she came. She might be from the Real World, Stupidworld, or even some other, as yet unidentified, world. This is an attempt to codify what is known about Judy's World.
Proposed Canon
The world "Kill" is used in place of the word "Croak" and means essentially the same thing.
A "Year" is a term used to measure a 365 day/turn cycle. This may be exactly 365 days or (like the Real World) a 365 day and change period that is referred to as 365 days for convienvence purposes and results in a Leap Year.
A place called "Kansas" exists, which implies the existance of the United States of America or a very similar equivelent thereof. It is flat, windy and smells like pig boop. It contains rural areas, implying the existance of other areas, such as urban sites.

text: Been browsing Auto Trader for the last hour or so and have spotted a few of the A3 TDIs. No one seems to mention them on here. What do people in general think of these? Does it use the same PD engine as the Golfs/Skoda/SEATs? I'm asking because I'm after a new A3 towards the end of the year (having bought a 1.6 A3 a few weeks ago) as my current car feels underpowered and basically I want something a bit newer and a bit quicker. I'm 18 you see, will be 19 when the time comes for a new car (October-ish) and don't believe I'm a competent enough driver to handle the 1.8t just yet, so the TDI looks like a compromise. Opinions on the TDI and TDI quattro....performance figures/comparison to 1.8t etc etc. And finally, is something like the 1.9 TDI Quattro a suitable alternative to say the 1.8t petrol for a 19 year old who has been driving 2 years? Or should I be looking at say the 1.8 sport? Mucho thankyou. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

The kids are in bed after a long day of wiping noses, disguising veggies, and searching for that elusive missing doll shoe. Now it's mommy time. E.L. James, who gave adult time-starved moms the books that made us blush has created another escape: Fifty Shades of Grey Wine. And this mama can't wait to try it.
I'm partial to reds, but I plan to sample both Red Satin and White Silk. Indeed, I can't wait to enjoy a few sips and feel like an adult until morning when I'll be back to changing diapers and playing Candyland.
Not that I need an explanation (I'm sold already) but according to People magazine, James views her wine brand as an natural extension of her wildly popular trilogy.
"Wine plays an important role in Fifty Shades of Grey, adding to the sensuality that pervades a number of scenes. I hope my readers curl up with a glass as they enjoy the romance between Anastasia and Christian," the author shared. Okay, enough said.
After all, when I first read James's novels, I was able to forget my harried life as a mom. As I flipped through the pages, my jaw on the floor, I thought nothing of the puke I'd mopped up hours before. Those temper tantrums seemed miles away. If this new wine brand delivers half of the escape the books did, I will be in heaven!
And who knows? Maybe the seductive flavors of the mommy juice will lead to life imitating art...or at least my hubby hopes so! Now where was that necktie he wore to work earlier?
Will you try Fifty Shades of Grey Wine?

Alexander: We deserved more
Fleetwood boss Graham Alexander felt his team deserved all three points after drawing with Bradford.
Last Updated: 02/02/13 8:20pm
Fleetwood boss Graham Alexander felt his team deserved all three points after drawing with Bradford.
In the end Town were perhaps fortunate to get one after a contentious penalty decision allowed substitute Jon Parkin to equalise from the penalty spot in a 2-2 draw at Highbury.
Alexander said: "We've probably created enough chances in the first half to be two or three up when they scored. It was a great free-kick.
"Then we've given away a goal that was entirely our fault. But we've dug in and got ourselves back into the game.
"I won't say I'm happy with a point because I think we could have taken all three."
Fleetwood grabbed the lead midway through the first half. Junior Brown's effort was tipped around the post by Bradford goalkeeper Matt Duke before Alan Goodall headed home at the near post from the resulting corner.
But the visitors struck back just before the break. Nathan Pond brought down Bantams skipper Gary Jones and Nahki Wells' free-kick floated beautifully over the wall and past Scott Davies in the Fleetwood goal.
Shortly after the break Phil Parkinson's side took the lead. Will Atkinson's long ball eluded Brown and Shaun Beeley and substitute Ryan Dickson capitalised to slot a low shot past Davies.
Parkin's penalty handed the hosts a way back into the game - his blasted effort sneaking beneath Duke after James Hanson was judged to have handled the ball in the area 15 minutes from time.

Sutter proving worth as coach
Head Coach Darryl Sutter of the Los Angeles Kings reacts after the goal of Henrik Sedin #33 of the Vancouver Canucks to take a 3-1 lead during the third period at Staples Center on April 18, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. Harry How/Getty Images/AFP
Willie Mitchell didn't need to call around to get a scouting report on Darryl Sutter.
Mitchell's friends gave him the 4-1-1 without prompting on what life would be like when Sutter took over the Los Angeles Kings' coaching reins in December.
"I got a couple of texts from guys telling me what he was like," Mitchell recalled with a laugh.
He wouldn't divulge the contents, but rest assured the opinions would have been glowing from some players and scathing from others.
However, no matter how anybody feels about Sutter's personality traits or the job he did as GM of the Calgary Flames for seven-and-a-half years, nobody can possibly argue his abilities as a coach.
When Sutter took over the Kings, they were floundering with a 15-14-4 record. Guiding the talented squad to the playoffs was one achievement, but it almost pales in comparison to what the Kings have done to the regular season-champion and Stanley Cup favourite Vancouver Canucks in the opening round of the playoffs.
Sutter, whose biggest moments behind the bench came while coaching the Flames to Game 7 of the 2004 Stanley Cup final, may have had all kinds of great and awful moments as GM, but is obviously in his element behind the bench.
"He's a great coach and the guys in here will say the same thing. With his intensity, it's almost like he still wants to play the game. We feed off that," said Kings forward Colin Fraser, who spent four years playing for Brent Sutter with the WHL's Red Deer Rebels. "He's a simple coach, doesn't complicate things. You just have to go out there play hard and do your best."
Before taking over the Kings, Sutter hadn't been behind a bench since the Flames were ousted by the Anaheim Ducks in the opening round of the 2006 playoffs.
But, he still has his touch as a coach and remains the same old person to deal with.
The sharp wit and sarcastim when dealing with the media remains a calling card. For example, when asked if he had seen the Bridgestone television commercial featuring Kings defenceman Drew Doughty, Sutter remarked "I told him I need tires for my tractor. Hey, it might mean the difference of two or three minutes in a game."
That surliness is front and centre when he believes a bad question has been asked. Likewise, he's often the contrarian and loves to play the "underdog" card.
More importantly, though, he still pushes his players' buttons.
Whenever praise comes toward goalie Jonathan Quick, Sutter will point out the Kings netminder must push to be an elite netminder on a consistent basis. He's pushed Doughty very hard to be a complete, Norris-worthy defenceman.
As to be expected, the top players in his control, such as Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar, aren't immune from his wrath when they're not up to snuff.
"He's a really intense guy, certainly different from Terry Murray," Kopitar said. "He's more fiery, much more intense. It seems like he always wants to be on the ice with us and has fun. It's nice to have a guy like that around you because it rubs off on all the players."
But as much as everyone wants to complain about Sutter being a defence-only coach, the Kings have become a more offensively successful squad since he first took over and implemented an uptempo style that suits the young and talented Kings.
"I think he's allowed our skill players to be more creative with the puck, but still be accountable defensively," Mitchell explained. "It took a while for everyone to adjust, but we've scored more goals since he's come here."
One last thing. Sutter is big on a team's identity, but that's an area he's waiting to see develop in Los Angeles.
"It's younger top players that are still trying to forge their own identities," Sutter said. "You're not trying to change their identities. You're trying to make sure they do it as a group, and you rely on your five or six veterans to guide it.
"You just want to get them to do it all together."

Arsenal are reported to have joined Chelsea in the race to sign James Rodriguez, who could leave Real Madrid for £51.5million.
Real boss Zinedine Zidane has always insisted the Colombian star is not for sale before the transfer deadline but reports now claim he has had a change of heart.
The attacking midfielder has slipped down the pecking order at the Bernabeu and Los Blancos are ready to cash in if someone matches their £51.5million valuation.
Chelsea were said to be in the box seat to do a deal but it has now been suggested Arsenal are ready to stump up the cash, as they desperately attempt to bolster their ranks before the deadline.
Paying such a figure would break their transfer record but boss Arsene Wenger is willing to do that following a disappointing start to the new Premier League season.
Wenger has already missed out on Leicester's Riyad Mahrez and the capture of Rodriguez would certainly appease those Gunners fans who are disappointed with the lack of transfer activity so far this summer.

A Touch of Madness
Nestled in the isolated and fertile Karuga Valley is the town of Fallcrest. Considering the towns relative isolation it has a surprisingly large population, and an unsurprisingly large militia force. It is a strongly walled town surrounded by farms that take advantage of the valley's very fertile soil. This fertility arises, quite literally, from the Anora river that originates from a spring in the mountains. In early spring every year the river floods, dumping huge quantities of rich river silt and mud on the surrounding flood plains. The high yield they receive as a result keeps the town rich through trade.
The towns relative wealth and isolation have made it a target in the past by a variety of powers. The mountains that give forth the Anora river also provide sanctuary for group of Kobolds. They infest the abandoned copper mines that riddle the mountain. On accasion when their numbers are high and a particualarly bold individual steps up to lead them, they have banded together and attacked Fallcrest. One such attack actually ended up burning the whole town to the ground. Brigands also haunt the one road that leads out of the valley. They attack anyone foolish enough to travel alone and they often take out the odd caravan despite them being heavily guarded.

Completely tongue-in-cheek, here are some signs that you may be ready to stop breastfeeding:
Like an automaton, you proffer your breast when you hear the words milk, milkies, boob, boobie, etc. [or any utterance that sounds remotely similar].
You gaze longingly at your regular bras, tucked into the far reaches of your lingerie drawer, and haven't the slightest recollection of the last time you wore one.
Why buy the milk when you get mama's milk for free is no longer a humorous saying. In fact, you're thinking about charging at this point.
You're ready to disassociate yourself from the Got Milk? campaign.
- You're seriously questioning having another baby any time in the near future [because the thought of another nursling makes you cringe].
You no longer think the I'm a Boob Man onesie is cute. At all.
You're ready to wear something other than tank tops and cardigans [because, you know, you stopped wearing nursing clothing LONG ago].
Nursing in public? Pfft! No biggie [almost everyone's glimpsed my breasts at this point].
Your little one can now ask to nurse... using a complete sentence.
Even your grungiest regular bra looks appealing.

ZJ Crush Sleeve Won't Crush
Hey so I need to replace my front pinion seal. I don't have time to do it myself so I brought it to my trusted mechanic.
However, when he went to replace the seal, he couldn't get the crush sleeve to move back into the shaft. He said they even tried prying it a little, but it won't budge so I we can't replace the seal.
Has anybody else had this problem? How do I fix or go around this? My seal is leaking and I am driving from Florida to Colorado next week. :confused:
I am not exactly sure what you're explaining as per can't get the CC to move on the shaft, the CC is behind the front pin bearing.
You should see competent DRIVELINE shops only when having stuff like this done, a trusted mechanic is nice, but as you see now. . .
Thanks. Yeah, I was talking about the shaft immediately behind the front differential. You loosen the nut on the shaft and it's supposed to slide back, but it wouldn't for him. Idk why.
Either way thanks for the advice. I did end up taking it to a shop that specializes in Jeep diffs and they didn't have a problem. :)
Are you talking about the front "Driveshaft" ? And are you talking about the nut setting the length on a rzeppa shaft that you NEVER EVER touch ? That is not supposed to move or ever be adjusted
Or are you saying you couldn't get the end yoke off ?
:rolleyes: Yep front drive shaft. And lol, length setting on the rzeppa shaft sounds about like what he was messing with.. lol Either way, all appears fine. Seeing he couldn't get it to budge anyway, I'm not too concerned. He still should have known though. :)
What would that screw up anyway? Seems as though moving that wouldn't really hurt anything anyway.
Give him a biff for touching that, that's a get smacked part if it's touched or attempted to be touched.
Moving that will destroy the rzeppa, the rzeppa has it's own movement designed into it, moving that even .25 of an inch and you ruined it, since now it will either pull apart or push apart since it is now shorter or longer for the travel or plunge/telescoping room it is designed for.
I used to see people walk in the shop and have done all kinds of unspeakable things to it to get it to move and then wreck the rzeppa and want it fixed and i would take it and drop it in the garbage.
. Tell him if he doesn't know why or what it is the rule of thumb is DO NOT TOUCH IT, lol or it becomes a very expensive lesson
dont they need like 600ft# to crush them?
The crush collar or the front shaft
the collar
Anywhere from 350 up to 450

Once inside the 5-by-6-foot room, Christopher, a special-education student whose disabilities include extreme sensitivity to noise, rammed his body against the steel-reinforced door and banged his head on the cement-block walls, pleading to get out.
His mother says she later saw the dashes on a piece of paper where the school staff member observing Christopher marked each harmful act.
Christopher's parents have brought a lawsuit against the Minneapolis school system, and complaints from other parents, too, are bringing new attention to the use of "timeout" rooms in Minnesota. State officials have proposed new regulations to limit the amount of time students can be placed in such rooms and to bar school officials from locking the doors.

IT'S 50 years since Lifeline took its first call - and it's now contacted by more than a million Australians seeking help every year.
The confidential telephone counselling service began in 1963 after a desperate man named Roy called the then-superintendent of Wesley Mission, the late Reverend Alan Walker, on a Sunday night.
Roy told Dr Walker he had just written him a letter which he would receive on Monday morning.
"By that time I will be dead," he said.
"I am sorry to worry you but there is really no one who cares what happens to me."
That phone call and other similar ones prompted Dr Walker to establish Lifeline, which now operates in 19 countries.
Last year, Lifeline counsellors answered 541,450 calls from around Australia, the Wesley Mission said in a statement.
More than a million people nationwide contact Lifeline by phone, email, online or in person each year.
Dr Walker established Lifeline to provide support for the "lonely crowd of the modern city", current Superintendent Rev Dr Keith Garner said.
The Wesley Mission will hold a thanksgiving service to celebrate the milestone in Sydney on Sunday night.
* Readers seeking support and information about suicide prevention can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14

Excel 2007/2010 adding 0.01:
For the problem description, used a formula to add 0.01 for each cell in the row, as X1-Y1 table. For comparison purposes, use X2-Y2 as the numbers entered manually; that is 0.56, 0.57, ...., 0.66. Then use vlookup to capture the Y1 or Y2 values again.
The "3decimal" column is to describe the precision lost; details later...
It appears EXCEL is unable to add 0.01 accurately; when performing 0.56+0.01, appears to be 0.5699999999999..... So, vlookup failed. Since this is related to engineering work, I have to use "FALSE" in the vlookup search.
On internet searches, this can be fixed by setting "Excel options - Advance - Set precision as display". HOWEVER, my data 0.123456789 got truncated to 0.123 on the 3decimal column (Format cell - Number - 3 decimal places). This is giving me another problem
as I will need the non-truncated numbers for other calculations.
A corporate user.
The easy fix is to replace your VLOOKUP formula with this
Actually, you don't really need the ROUND function. This will also work

I got my David's Tea order and I was really excited—one of the things I got was the Golden Pu-erh. I was really excited to try it since I'd never had a pu-erh before, so it was going to be a totally new tea experience. I opened up the bag of tea and the smell of citrus hit me immediately. "Yummy. This must be why they call it 'Golden' Pu-erh." The cup was delicious, though not what I was expecting. Not earthy. More green. Citrusy, not musty, like the packaging mentioned. It was a head-scratcher of a tea drinking experience.
So I started to look at the little catalog that came with the DT order. I flipped back to the Pu-erhs to see what else they had. I liked this one, so I bet I'd like other ones as well. I glanced at the Golden Pu-erh entry. Not a single citrus peel in sight. And the leaves looked curled, like whole leaves. Not like the cut leaves in the cup I brewed.
Further investigation (looking at the page on green teas) tells me that apparently what I got was the Countess of Seville instead. It looks pretty similar to the picture, and now that I'm paying attention on my second steep, the flavor does remind me of an Earl Grey.
Luckily, I like this tea. I'd be really annoyed if it were some awful tea that I hated. I can't wait to try it properly steeped!
ETA: Doh! Further investigation, plus the discovery of a berry of some sort reveals that this is not Countess of Seville, rather, I believe it is Some Velvet Morning.

Tower sees Toshiba technology as catalyst for long-awaited second fab
Post a comment
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel -- With the agreement by Toshiba Corp. last week to transfer its advanced CMOS logic technology to Tower Semiconductor Ltd. here, the Israeli foundry has set in motion the chain of steps that will lead to building its second fab and, it hopes, achieving world-class foundry status, according to Yoav Nissan-Cohen, co-CEO of Tower, in a conference call with analysts on Friday.
The strategic partnership with Japan's Toshiba is the crucial first step toward Tower's future, he said (see March 28 story). Toshiba also made a $10 million equity investment and committed to acquiring manufacturing capacity at Tower, with an option to make a substantially larger investment.
The second step is acquiring the major financing -- estimated at about $1.3 billion -- to build the second fab. With the new fab, Tower expects to attract more customers, Nissan-Cohen said. Tower is already showing signs of improvement and expects to show a profitable quarter this year and thinks it can operate in the black in 2001 (see Feb. 1 story).
"This enables us to move to the next step: securing government support for the project. Clearly, it is crucial to have the technology secured in order to sign major customers." He said that Tower is in "advanced negotiations" for such a large strategic partner, but he would not say when it would be announced.
However, with the prospect such major customers, the Israeli government is much closer to approving a package of financial grants and incentives to Tower, Nissan-Cohen said.
"We have received very positive indications from the government of our importance to the country," he said. "We are very optimistic the financial incentive package will be approved." This process could still take a few months, he added.
During the visit by Toshiba executives to Israel to ink the technology transfer agreement, the Toshiba contingent met personally with senior government officials in Tel Aviv, including Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Nissan-Cohen said.
As for a timetable for the new fab, Nissan-Cohen said much depended on the Israeli government, but he hoped the financial package would be approved in the second quarter and construction would begin in the third quarter. "We are running as fast as we can," the Israeli executive said.
Construction should take about a year, and then equipment would be installed in the fourth quarter of 2001. Commercial production would begin by early 2002, he said.
Nissan-Cohen said that the fab was likely to be a copy-exact of Toshiba's logic process "in order to minimize the risks," and Toshiba would train Tower's engineers in the process. He said Tower's engineers may want to make their own adjustments or customizations to the process, but "we would like to postpone those kinds of improvements to a later date."
However, Tower's micro-Flash technology, which it has licensed from Saifun Semiconductor Ltd., will require specialized modules and Nissan-Cohen said that will eventually be added to Fab 2. He also hinted that Saifun's microFlash technology has achieved some technology breakthroughs that will be announced soon.
The Israeli CEO said it was not Tower's strategy to compete head-to-head with Taiwan's foundry giants such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and United Microelectronics Corp. But with Toshiba's advanced CMOS logic technology, he saw no reason that Tower could not be on the same playing field.
"Our strategy is to specialize as much as we can, because we can get better margins and give the customer more value," Nissan-Choen said. He pointed out that Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector, which uses almost all the major foundries, recently gave its Foundry of the Year award to Tower Semiconductor.
Tower Semiconductor is hoping to attract more investments from its customers, including Motorola. Nissan-Cohen also said he did not see a conflict in having Motorola as a major customer while using Toshiba's CMOS logic process.

I did something that I now find myself grateful for in the months after d-day. MrH had left for Iraq, still acting the unrepentant WH...turns out he was, I had a second d-day while he was gone.
In my opposite-of-180-self, I set up a YouTube channel for him to see the kids. I hoped to keep fresh in his mind what he was contemplating giving up for xOw2. On a side note- it didn't work. The only thing that worked was being willing to leave the M and refuse to be treated like an option. Once you get to that place of strength, never leave it behind. Never accept what your head, heart AND gut know you will need of you gift your WS with R. Please.
For the first time in a long time, I logged on to that account.
I am SOOOOO grateful for me that I filmed them. I was in such a fog, I missed so much of that year...or more. It is bittersweet to hear their little 6yo and 2yo voices send messages to daddy. I know what he was doing then, how I was struggling. But because of my trying to do something for *him* then, I did something for my future self. I now have tangible records of how cute they were...and at nearly 14yo and 10yo, I need it!
So do yourself a favor. Video your kids, journal, take lots of pictures, even more than you might normally take. Set them aside in a safe place and come back to them. Know that through your pain, you loved them. You held on to everything you could. Looking back and seeing it, you'll see why. R or D.
Meanwhile, my prayers are with each of you. The wisdom and experience of SI is behind you. You will be able to walk through this, though some steps may be more painful than the next.
Glad we have photos from that time.
I hope newbies take this gem of advice and do the same.

Zhao, Wade-Giles romanization Chao, ancient Chinese feudal state, one of the seven powers that achieved ascendancy during the Warring States (Zhanguo) period (475–221 bce) of Chinese history. In 403 bce Zhao Ji, the founder of Zhao, and the leaders of the states of Wei and Han partitioned the state of Jin. The state of Zhao extended through northeastern and central Shanxi and southwestern Hebei. The state prospered for a time, seizing large areas of land within the territories of the states of Qi and Wei. It eventually became the strongest contender against the state of Qin, but its military strength was utterly destroyed by Qin in 260 bce; some 50,000 men were killed in battle, and most of the approximately 400,000 men who surrendered were slaughtered. The state of Zhao was finally annexed by Qin in 222 bce.

Are flags and parades violence to blame for weakening Northern Irish cultural identity?
Day 5 of our exclusive opinion poll reveals Catholic loyalties are shifting gradually
The poll findings indicate that people's sense of national or cultural identity is shifting, particularly among Catholics. The Northern Irish identity is weakening, perhaps in response to years of unrest.
Respondents were asked whether the term Northern Irish, Irish or British best described them.
The figure excluding undecided (20.9%) is given in brackets.
Northern Irish got the support of just 13.3% (16.9%) of the sample, Irish was the chosen identity of 20.5% (25.9%) and British was chosen by 33.4% (42.2%) with 11.9% (15.1%) giving some other identity.
This is higher than the actual immigrant community in Northern Ireland.
There was a fall in the number of people giving their identity as Northern Irish (16.9% excluding undecideds) compared to the census (20.94%). But the fall may also be due to events since March 27, 2011, when the census was taken.
At the end of last summer marching violence broke out, last winter we had the flag protests and as the poll was being taken there were further marching disturbances.
This may have contributed to a fall in identification with Northern Ireland without increasing the appeal of Irishness. There were also signs of shifting national identity among Catholics.
Just over 25% who identified as Catholics also described themselves as British, slightly less than the 27.5% choosing Irish but far more than the 16% of Catholics who counted themselves Northern Irish.
The census found that 59.11% of people, (well over the Protestant population) held a British passport compared to 18.9% who held an Irish one.
The only social group where Northern Irish was the favourite designation was the higher AB social classes, 27.8% of whom chose the designation compared to British (24.4%) and Irish 19.9%.
Almost half (48.8%) of people in lowest income DE grouping described themselves as British compared with 21.4% Irish and 6.9% Northern Irish.

The protection and management of competence
Protecting competence is an extremely important part of business operations for companies that provide physical products and services. Companies must devise their business strategies in such a way that keeps their competitors from utilising their ideas, inventions, hit products, unique service models or expertise. Various means are available that can be used to both together and individually protect competence.
What should be protected?
If questions regarding the protection of competence are not familiar to the company, it should first find out what kind of competence it has that would be worth protecting. The competence capital of a company includes not only the competence and expertise of its personnel but also various internal and external procedures (for example, processes, materials, data systems, distribution channels) and interest group relationships.
The simplest way of approaching the issue of protection is to consider what intellectual property, if copied or lost, would damage or harm the company. The company should then find the right methods to protect this property.
The methods of protecting competence
In addition to utilising intellectual property rights (IPR), competence can be protected with a variety of contractual and non-formal protection methods.
Similarly to intellectual property rights, the contractual protection methods (for example, prohibition of competition, confidentiality, recruitment prohibition) are non-appealable and used typically to define the relationships of a company's competence capital to its employees and partners in terms of various rights.
The non-formal protection methods form an extensive range of flexible means by which to protect a company's expertise. They can also be developed according to the needs and situation of the company. Typically, the non-formal protection methods can be used to prevent information loss or keep unauthorised persons from accessing key information within the company or through its external networks.
The non-formal protection methods can be used simultaneously with protection methods that are based on legislation. The methods do not compete, they complement each other. Some of the non-formal protection methods are linked to more formal methods, such as contracts or even judicial rights. However, the majority of the non-formal protection methods consists of the day-to-day operating methods of the company. Most of the methods do not provide legal protection.
Examples of non-formal protection methods and their effects:
- Confidentiality: prevents the disclosure of confidential information to outsiders
- Restrictions related to the use of information: limits the access of personnel and outsiders to key information
- Commitments made by the personnel: prevents the loss of information tied to employees
- Circulating tasks: reduces the company's dependence on key employees
- Documentation: increases the efficiency of the business operations and prevents the loss of information tied to employees
- Technical protection: makes copying slower and more difficult
- Taking care of customer relationships: prevents information leaks
Look after your rights!
Once the protection of intellectual property is in order, the company's rights can, and should be, actively monitored and enforced.
Depending on the case, the company can also employ the services of authorities (such as the police or customs). However, getting assistance requires that the rights (for example, trademark) have been protected properly. The company must also demand the defence of its rights on its own initiative.
Expertise to support companies with the protection of intellectual property rights is available from patent agents and experts in the private sector.

GOP legislators block bid to redebate location of ECC tech building
The Republican-aligned majority in the Erie County Legislature on Thursday shut down calls to rehash the debate over which is the better location for Erie Community College's proposed $30 million technology building – ECC North or the City Campus.
More than a partisan divide, the split was between lawmakers whose districts lie within the city and those representing districts in the suburbs. All seven suburbanites voted to put the kibosh on any further discussion of Democratic Legislator Patrick B. Burke's call to withdraw the county's $7.5 million commitment toward the proposed Science Technology Engineering & Mathematics, or STEM, project until ECC has raised its share of the costs.
Last year, JMZ Architects and Planners issued a $182,000 consultant's report recommending ECC North, in Amherst, over ECC City, in downtown Buffalo, for the expansion. Burke on Thursday called the report biased and flawed.
"I feel that if we invest this money into ECC right now, we're on the hook for a black hole of expenses," said Burke, whose district encompasses South Buffalo and portions of Cheektowaga.
"We know that that whole campus has problems and we don't know how much it's going to cost us to refurbish that campus," he said of ECC North.
Supporting Burke's resolution were Minority Leader Betty Jean Grant and Legislator Barbara Miller-Williams, both Democrats whose districts are entirely within the city.
Legislator Thomas A. Loughran, of Amherst, was the sole Democrat to vote with the majority against Burke's resolution, which also called on the County Comptroller's Office to conduct an audit of JMZ's report. The North Campus is located in Loughran's district.
"I can't recall an issue that has been vetted more than this project of revitalizing our North Campus," Loughran said, noting that two separate studies shared the same conclusions as those reached by JMZ.
"This Legislature has recognized that the North Campus is in deplorable condition. This is a beginning to revitalize an asset."
Grant, who last year joined the rest of the Legislature in unanimously supporting the expansion of ECC North, said she was, nonetheless, disappointed that the majority declined to send Burke's resolution to committee for further discussion, since neither Burke nor Miller-Williams was a member of the Legislature when the JMZ report was approved last year.
"We know that the train has left the station on this issue, but if we were to allow this matter to go to committee, it would give us a chance to be conciliatory and, at the same time, have their questions answered," Grant said.
Members of the Legislature's majority caucus argued that the failure to expand in Amherst will continue to be a boon to Niagara County Community College.
"I resent the fact that this is becoming a city/suburban issue, because it's not," said Majority Leader Joseph C. Lorigo, a Conservative from West Seneca.
"The majority of students who go to NCCC and charge the municipalities and county these chargebacks come from the Northtowns. We are losing students to Niagara County Community College, and it is costing our residents money in every municipality in Erie County."

this might be one of my top faves from my recent Adagio order.
who am i kidding i like so MANY of them!
i've gotten much better at knowing what i prefer and what will taste good in a blend. and it's an exciting feeling when you know you love all the teas in your cupboard and that you have many cups of them to drink in your future.
for me this cup came off as more of an almond tea, like a warm earthy berry and dry fruits and the sun drenched bark of a tree.
i really need to have it again so i can pin the flavor down more, but that is probably why i enjoyed it that little bit extra. sometimes if a tea has a vagueness to it, or a blend where the flavors really mush together in a special way, it sticks in my brain. to puzzle it out. like a subtle plot twist.

Went to view a car at Addington I saw online, when arrived was told it was sold'! But they had something very similar in that day! After viewing the car I wanted it so agreed a deal to pay £500 deposit and £2500 and arrange finance for the remaining £5400 including 15 month warranty. If I had been willing to pay up front they would have sold it for £7500 instead of £8000 excluding warranty!
This was on the Friday and I had been accepted for finance and agreed to pick it up following Friday! Over the weekend I was kindly offered a loan from a family member for the money so went back to Addington on the Monday to say I wanted to change the agreement from finance to pay outright! I was told I could do that but wouldn't get a discount as they had already done a discount on the finance!! I would have to pay £7932 in total or an extra £395 for warranty. I reluctantly agreed as they had my deposit of £500 but I did scrap the warranty.
All they were interested in was the money and not sticking to the salesman's offer of £7500 before finance was mentioned.
Won't buy again here but service department were good, can't fault them.

Eastern U.S. Struggles to Resume Daily Life in Wake of Sandy
Flights resume between Israel and eastern U.S.; NYSE set to open, but it could take days before the N.Y. subway runs again; Obama, set to visit N.J., cancels campaign events for third straight day.
People in the heavily populated U.S. East Coast corridor battered by superstorm Sandy took the first cautious steps to reclaim their upended daily routines, even as rescuers combed neighborhoods strewn with debris and scarred by floods and fire.
But while New York City buses returned to darkened streets eerily free of traffic and the New York Stock Exchange was set to reopen its storied trading floor Wednesday, it became clear that restoring the region to its ordinarily frenetic pace could take days - and that rebuilding the hardest-hit communities and the transportation networks that link them together could take considerably longer.
"We will get through the days ahead by doing what we always do in tough times - by standing together, shoulder to shoulder, ready to help a neighbor, comfort a stranger and get the city we love back on its feet," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
As the city began its second day after the megastorm, New Yorkers noticed an uptick in traffic and a small sign of normalcy: people waiting at bus stops.
On the Brooklyn Bridge, closed earlier because of high winds, joggers and bikers made their way across the span before sunrise. One cyclist carried a flashlight. Car traffic on the bridge was busy, and slowed as it neared Manhattan.
U.S. President Barack Obama was planning to visit New Jersey on Wednesday to see the area near Atlantic City where the violent storm made landfall two days before. With the presidential election just six days away, Obama was cancelling campaign events for the third straight day to focus on coordinating the response to the superstorm. His Republican rival Mitt Romney planned to resume full-scale campaigning in Florida on Wednesday.
By late Tuesday, the winds and flooding inflicted by the fast-weakening Sandy had subsided, leaving at least 55 people dead along the Atlantic Coast and splintering beachfront homes and boardwalks from the mid-Atlantic states to southern New England.
The storm later moved across Pennsylvania on a predicted path toward western New York State and Canada.
At the height of the disaster, more than 8.2 million customers lost electricity - some as far away as Michigan. Nearly a quarter of those without power were in New York, where lower Manhattan's usually bright lights remained dark for a second night.
But, amid the despair, talk of recovery was already beginning.
"It's heartbreaking after being here 37 years," Barry Prezioso of Point Pleasant, New Jersey, said as he returned to his house in the beachfront community to survey the damage. "You see your home demolished like this, it's tough. But nobody got hurt and the upstairs is still livable, so we can still live upstairs and clean this out. I'm sure there's people that had worse. I feel kind of lucky."
Much of the initial recovery efforts focused on New York City, the region's economic heart. Bloomberg said it could take four or five days before the subway, which suffered the worst damage in its 108-year history, is running again. All 10 of the tunnels that carry commuters under the East River were flooded. But high water prevented inspectors from immediately assessing damage to key equipment, raising the possibility that the nation's largest city could endure an extended shutdown of the system that 5 million people count on to get to work and school each day. The chairman of the state agency that runs the subway, Joseph Lhota, said service might have to resume piecemeal, and experts said the cost of the repairs could be staggering.
In Washington, the Metro system was operating a normal weekday schedule Wednesday morning. Metro said it was also operating a regular weekday bus schedule, but there were some detours and delays due to downed trees and power lines and malfunctioning traffic lights.
Power company Consolidated Edison said it will take four days before the last of the 337,000 customers in Manhattan and Brooklyn who lost power have electricity again and it could take a week to restore outages in the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and Westchester County. Floodwater led to explosions that disabled a power substation Monday night, contributing to the outages.
Surveying the widespread damage, it was clear much of the recovery and rebuilding will take far longer.
When New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stopped in Belmar, New Jersey, during a tour of the devastation, one woman wept openly and 42-year-old Walter Patrickis told him, "Governor, I lost everything."
Christie, who called the shore damage "unthinkable," said a full recovery would take months, at least, and it would likely be a week or more before power is restored to everyone who lost it.
"Now we've got a big task ahead of us that we have to do together. This is the kind of thing New Jerseyans are built for," he said.
Christie said that when he speaks with Obama on Wednesday, he plans to ask the president to assign the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to start working on how to rebuild beaches and find "the best way to rebuild the beach to protect these towns."
By sundown Tuesday, however, announcements from officials and scenes on the streets signaled that New York and nearby towns were edging toward a semblance of routine.
First came the reopening of highways in Connecticut and bridges across the Hudson and East rivers, although the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, connecting Brooklyn to Manhattan, and the Holland Tunnel, between New York and New Jersey, remained closed.
A limited number of the white and blue buses that crisscross New York's grid returned Tuesday evening to Broadway and other thoroughfares on a reduced schedule - but free of charge. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he hoped there would be full service by Wednesday. Still, school was canceled for a third straight day Wednesday in the city, where many students rely on buses and subways to reach classrooms.
In one bit of good news, officials announced that John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and Newark International Airport in New Jersey would reopen at 7 A.M. (1100 GMT) Wednesday with limited service. New York's LaGuardia Airport remains closed.
Flights between Israel and eastern U.S. resumed on Wednesday after a three-day lag, as airlines added flights from Ben Gurion International Airport to accommodate the influx of travelers.
The New York Stock Exchange was set to open again Wednesday after being closed for two days - the first weather-related, two-day closure since the 19th century - but trading was scheduled to resume Wednesday morning with Bloomberg ringing the opening bell.
Amtrak also laid out plans to resume some passenger train service in the Northeast on Wednesday. But flooding continues to prevent service to and from New York's Penn Station. Amtrak said the amount of water in train tunnels under the Hudson and East rivers is unprecedented. There will be no Northeast Regional service between New York and Boston. No date has been set for when it might resume.
But even with the return of some transportation and plans to reopen schools and businesses, the damage and pain inflicted by Sandy continued to unfold, confirming the challenge posed by rebuilding.
In New Jersey, amusement rides that once crowned a pier in Seaside Heights were dumped into the ocean, some homes were smashed, and others were partially buried in sand.
Farther north in Hoboken, across the Hudson from Manhattan, New Jersey National Guard troops arrived Tuesday night with high-wheeled vehicles to reach thousands of flood victims stuck in their homes. They arrived to find a town with live wires dangling in the floodwaters that Mayor Dawn Zimmer said were rapidly mixing with sewage. At nightfall, the city turned almost completely dark.
About 2.1 million homes and businesses remained without power across New Jersey late Tuesday. When Tropical Storm Irene struck last year, it took more than a week to restore power everywhere. The state's largest utility, PSE&G, said it was trying to dry out substations it had to shut down.
Outages in the state's two largest cities, Newark and Jersey City, left traffic signals dark, resulting in numerous minor accidents at intersections where police were not directing traffic. And in one Jersey City supermarket, there were long lines to get bread and a spot at an outlet to charge cellphones.
Trees and power lines were down in every corner of the state. Schools and state government offices were closed for a second day, and many called off classes for Wednesday, too. The governor said the PATH trains connecting northern New Jersey with Manhattan would be out of service for at least seven to 10 days because of flooding. All the New Jersey Transit rail lines were damaged, he said, and it was not clear when the rail lines would be able to open.

PG&E is helping fund a restoration project for middle school students to help preserve Arroyo Grande Creek habitat.
Students from Paulding Middle School in Arroyo Grande are teaming with members of the California Conservation Corps and community volunteers to provide the restoration. The students and volunteers will train fellow students to conduct water quality monitoring and restore habitat and nursery grounds for the federally threatened steelhead trout and the federally endangered California red-legged frog.
On Thursday (May 3), the PG&E Nature Restoration Trust contributed nearly $28,000, part of a $1 million commitment to similar projects throughout Northern and Central California. There also was a ribbon cutting and student-led tours of the creek trails.
The restoration project is part of a Central Coast Salmon Enhancement project. Since 2009, Paulding Middle School has used the adjacent watershed for after-school programs and a location for teachers to take students for science and environmental studies.

Urbana Council Changes Ordinance for Firing Ranges, Gun Stores
The Urbana City Council has unanimously agreed to back changes to the city zoning ordinance to allow applications for gun stores and indoor firing ranges.
The change was made on the recommendation from the Urbana Plan Commission. The panel approved them 6 to 1 at its August 9th meeting.
The measure also impacts home-based businesses that sell guns.
Nearly 30 people attended recent meetings to hear that panel endorse the idea, but no one spoke out against the plan at last night's council meeting.
Urbana planning manager Robert Myers says each application would be considered on a case by case basis, involving public hearings.
Urbana Planning Manager Robert Myers says the panel carefully considered minimum standards in other cities in terms of where these businesses were in relation to schools, parks, and homes.
He says each will be considered on their own merit in a public hearing, a bit like applications for a new liquor license.
"Sometimes, it may be straightforward, cut and dry, and some of the cases require more discussion," Myers said. "And though we don't necessarily have really exact detail critieria, including distance requirements for liquor licenses, but there's a chance for the public to comment, and everyone can have their say to review it on a case by case basis."
Dean Hazen of Urbana-based D & R Firearms, which operates out of his home, says a lot of time people inherit firearms, and don't really know what they're doing. He wants to bring his experience and training to the private sector.
"My big thing is education and training," Hazen said. "As we all know, we've had some tragic incidents, even in Champaign County, besides nationwide. A lot of it has been due to great ignorance with firearms and recklessness with firearms. I'd like to be part of making that go away."
Hazen says any firing range he sets up would not allow rentals of guns, and says training would be led largely by retired police officers. The weapons ordinance involves solely handguns. The ordinance does not address who can own or sell a gun.
The measure's special use permits will also require notification of property owners within 500 feet, and a security plan approved by Urbana's Chief of Police.

Future Of The Left
Polymers Are Forever
John Calvert
, November 7th, 2011 10:51
I once saw Future Of The Left play a drizzly afternoon slot in Belfast city centre, to the casual indifference of some Mogwai fans, a sleeping vagrant, and a man who I suspected was lost. Surveying the miserable turnout, Andy Falkous wheezed from the side of his mouth and declared: "In the words of the great Bill Hicks, I've fucked more people than this."
Like all the best punks, Andy 'Falko' Falkous has a keen eye for absurdity. Indeed, his music is teeming with it. So chances are, the absurdity of his career trajectory thus far - a tale of heartbreak and missed opportunity and the complete neglect of not one, but two utterly brilliant bands - isn't lost on the Welshman. Needless to say, FOTL played a great set that day in 2006 - suffocatingly avid yet attuned to the pantomime ironies of punk performance. Rolling out rabid little sketches of surrealist satire - truly British music bent on putting idiocy on the dock - Falkous slayed, as did drummer Jack Eggleston. Meanwhile Kelson Mathias, as he was often given to doing, ran around with his pants down, while in apology for his absent countrymen a lone superfan laughed way harder than the sight of Mathias' bare ass merited. And all the while, the rain continued apace.
Here they are again, facing down Belfast's empty stalls, gearing up for album number three as a brand-spanking new fourpiece, after the addition of second guitarist Jimmy Watkins. With their frontman nearing a stately 40 years of age, this January's The Plot Against Common Sense may be the last chance to catch the Atrocity Exhibition FOTL make out of Britain's banally evil trash apocalypse, survived only by Facebook, the X-Factor and David Cameron. Or whatever the hell the Devil calls himself. Before the curtains part, however, here's a six-track pre-show to get the blood going. How does it auger for the main event?
Taken from the album sessions, the organ-bolstered 'Polymers Are Forever' combines classic FOTL with a worrying tendency for grandiosity which was emerging on Travels...; a stylistic development which, along with an increasing funk elasticity, is a far cry from Falkous's efficiently cutting Mclusky. Consequently, after a typically venomous intro, instead of erupting into whirling speed, 'Polymers' both slows and soars. It's tuneful, sure, but frustratingly pillowy by FOTL's standards. This is how it started for Biffy Clyro - next thing you know they're hawking strings-laden blustery shit with a neckless X-Factor winner. Lyrically, however FOTL are right on course, carving out a loose portrait of linoleum-carpeted Brit culture, with more than a little Rita, Sue and Bob Too about it.
With more gameshow organ and less pomp, the reckless 'Emily' hints at a back-to-basics direction for the LP. At under two minutes, it's a cross between a No Age quickie and a Curses B-side, and further proof that FOTL are never better than when Falkous is screaming himself hoarse. Then on the wry 'New Adventures', the frontman mounts a signature ode to spiritually bankrupt suburbia, imparting lines like "He loved a racist once, she kept a tidy house" over chirpily polka synths. When Thom Yorke does it, it reeks of art-school condescension, but Falkous writes as one of us stiffs.
After the slow-burning 'My Wife' normal service resumes with the clobbering third act, which features two of the hardest tracks the band have written since Curses. Distorted by noxious production, the shredding 'Dry Hate' is as lo-fi as FOTL get. Through a tannoy, Falkous warns the ruling classes that hatred cannot be suppressed, grimacing "Do you feel the carpet slipping, motherfuckers?". Screeching guitars rise up at a killer slant, and underfoot ex-Million Dead bassist Julia Ruzicka lays down some psychobilly lines. "Jesus loves a renegade" thunders the frontman.
Last comes 'Destroywhitchurch', conceivably the closest the Welshmen have come to doing prog rock. Taking in Gang Of Four, The Tornadoes, Iron Maiden, Mudhoney and a truly unhinged refrain, it works through various phases before finishing with a coda of nimbly intertwined guitar. And so ends a beginners' course in FOTL Version 3.0, all-in-all a promising preamble to the real deal. Can they deliver on next year's LP? The forecast is for thunder and lightning.

I read your review carefully and with interest. Subsequent to this, I mulled over my response with sobriety, applying (I hope) a suitable level of intellectual resource. As a result, I can now state with a reasonable level of certainty that your review is largely bobbins.

In reply to Hobbsy:
How so?
This review reads very intriguingly. Half of the EP sounds like the raucous duurty fun that we all love in FOTL, but the hammy organ and synth doesn't flick my switch. I hope to be converted on the latter upon first listen.
Nov 10, 2011 12:37am
I'm going to be pedantic and point out that they played Belsonic Festival in Belfast in 2008, not 2006, and they played on the day headlined by The Enemy w/ Reverend & The Makers (bizarrely), not the day headlined by The Flaming Lips w/ Mogwai. Fun fact: they also reference this gig on their live album.
Nov 14, 2011 5:52pm
Well written Review. Will check out the album.
Nov 15, 2011 8:28pm
I'm going to be even more pedantic and point out that among the many things he may be,'Falko' isn't Welsh. Otherwise I enjoyed reading this review and look forward to hearing both the EP and the album proper.
Nov 21, 2011 6:38am
Hammy organs? Didn't any of you ever listen to Curses? I'd throw destroywhitchurch.com in the basket of songs along side Lapsed Catholics.
