Complaint Review: IWB CLUB
IWB CLUB 2 unauthorized charges my acct of 69.95 and 29.95 I never ordered anything from them!!! Internet *EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back into your bank account that someone wrongfully takes it from you!
ON March 1, 2009 there was an unauthorized charge of $69.95 to my account that was processed before I realized it. Today March 15, 2009 there appears a pending charge of $29.95 from IWBCLUB on my checking account. Apparently I will have to change my banking account to stop further charges. In the mean time I will have to leave this account open until my bills clear. This is awful!!!
Tulsa, Pennsylvania
EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

I was born and raised in small town New Salem, ND. One thing you learn growing up in a small town is you can't do anything without everyone knowing about it. I started a DJ company out of high school called DTK DJ's. I moved to Mandan and came to US 1033 to expand my career. I started on weekends and moved up to the midday show during the week. I also do many things behind the scenes. It's a lot of fun! I am continuing to try and work up the ladder. My time spent away from work is with family and friends or anything to do with the lake! I love getting on the water and playing around on my jet boat. The summer is what I truly appreciate.

Kenya: Muslims, Christians disagree over draft constitution
As it nears its final stages, Kenya's constitutional review process has entered a bumpy stretch, following disagreements among the faiths over a section in the draft constitution that provides for an Islamic legal system - the Catholic Information Service Africa report. On the one hand, some Christian organizations and Churches are arguing that religion should not feature in the constitution. Some Pentecostal and Evangelical churches have even gone further to demand that the new constitution should declare Kenya a Christian state, a suggestion dismissed by their mainstream counterparts. Muslims, on the other hand, have stated that the inclusion of the said section in the constitution is not negotiable. They said it has to sail through and appear in the final version unchanged. The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK), through its Secretary-General Rev Mutava Musyimi, said that no religion in the country should be elevated to special status in the constitution. The Catholic Church has also expressed its rejection of the sections through three archbishops: John Njue (Chairman of the Kenya Episcopal Conference KEC), Raphael Ndingi (of Nairobi), and John Njenga of Mombasa). Bishop Cornelius Arap Korir, Vice-Chairman of KEC spoke out against the courts. Ironically, the constitutional review process has been successful this far thanks to the joint effort of the faiths and the civil society organizations in Kenya, under the 'Ufungamano Initiative'. The Muslims on Tuesday, April 22, 2003 pulled out of Ufungamano, the faiths-led review process that brought together Christians from mainstream churches, Muslims and Hindus, as well as civic organizations in Kenya. The draft constitution provides for the strengthening of Kadhi's (Islamic) Courts, which have been in Kenya's constitution since the country's independence from Britain in 1963. Kadhi,s Courts cater for certain needs of the Muslim community, where all parties subscribe to that faith. The Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC) acknowledges and explains this. "The current constitution," CKRC says in Chapter 3, Section 8 b of the Draft Constitution, "provides for Kadhi's courts for the application of Islamic law on matters of personal status, marriage, divorce and inheritance in proceeding in which all the parties profess the Muslim religion [as in Section 66 of the current constitution]." As the CKRC says, "The constitutional status of Kadhi's court is based on a treaty to which the British, Kenya and Zanzibar governments were parties in 1963 when the Sultan of Zanzibar agreed to cede his sovereignty over the coastal strip to Kenya. On its part the Kenya government undertook to implement various measures for the protection of the former subjects of the Sultan, among them the system of Islamic law and courts." A constitutional conference is due to open next Monday April 28. Members of parliament are this week meeting with the CKRC in the coastal city of Mombasa for an orientation through the Draft Constitution. Source: CISA

Style December 25, 2016
Strap on your pointe shoes ladies – the elegant dance style is trending on the runway this season.
From ballet flats to Carrie Bradshaw's famous tutu dress, ballet has influenced fashion for decades. This year's designers have not strayed from the popular style, with beadwork and full skirts.
In the video above, The New York Times Style Magazine's Charlotte di Caraci notes that this trend of looking to ballerinas for artistic inspiration began with painters who focused on the refined femininity of the dancers. Specifically, Valentino featured dresses that looks reminiscent of dancers during rehearsal. "This season's designers, however, seem just as taken with the ballerina's relentless daily grind," Caraci said. "The look, while ultra feminine, smoldered with strength beneath the seemingly ethereal surface."

ENTITY is thrilled with this season's focus on the hard work of the inspirational women. Ballerina dancers – such as Theresa Farrell – are both fierce and elegant. Their style is an inspiration for #WomenThatDo on and off the runway stage.
Want to transform your own wardrobe with some ballerina-inspired pieces? Here are ENTITY's top five fashion tips!
If you want to become the fashionable belle of the ball, start by loading your closet with the basic ballerina necessities. Not sure where to start? Glamour Magazine suggests having some of the following on-hand: classic sneakers, tights, a pleated skirt (bonus points if it's light pink color!), a gray sweatshirt, a neutral-colored leotard and a gauzy dress.
Basically, when you go shopping, you should look for items that are girly yet casual, boast neutral and pastel colors (like nude, dusky pink and soft gray), can be easily mixed and matched and give off a sweet but sassy vibe.
Have a glam pink tulle dress that would be far too sheer to wear in winter weather? Transform your simple dress by layering it under a crewneck sweater or an oversized coat. If you want to emphasize the feminine curves of the dress, finish off your look with high heels or slender boots. If you want something a little edgier, rock some chunky black boots instead.
READ MORE: Facing Fashion Fears: The Power of Clothing
Tights are another secret weapon for a ballerina-inspired fashionista. Match delicate dresses, skirts or shorts with bold black tights for a contrast that will catch everyone's eye. On the other hand, no ballerina can go wrong with pink tights – especially paired with a leather motorcycle jacket! You can even experiment with patterned or ripped tights for a quirky touch.
If you've ever seen a ballet, you know that ballerinas need to perform from head to toe. Your look should do the same, starting with your hair. Sticking to the ballerina theme, you can rock a classic high ballet bun (using the tutorial video shown here). Not only will this style keep your hair out of your face, but it can add an element of elegance to any outfit.
Shoes are equally important. You can follow in ballerinas' footsteps and rock some traditional ballet flats. As Liberty Belle Mag shows, however, there are various ballerina-inspired styles shoe-lovers can choose from. Want a bit of extra height? Try suede ballerina shoes with a chunky heel. Craving a more understated look? Go with clean black flats with a bit of mesh detail on the edges.
So you've got your main pieces – the dress, the shoes, the hair – all lined up. But what final touches will make your professional ballerinas envy your style? If you want to rock a look worthy of "The Devil Wears Prada," remember that the devil is in the details. Add a bit of flash by rocking a pair of bold, sparkly earrings or a silver charm necklace featuring ballet shoes.
You can't forget about your makeup, either. Embrace pink and nude shades, with Buzzfeed suggesting products like L'Oreal's Nude Ballet lipstick, Covergirl's Ballet Twist lip liner, Essie's Ballet Slippers nail polish and Bobbi Brown's Ballet Pink eye shadow.
Whether you're working in the office or enjoying a Friday night out with the girls, you can still rock a ballerina-inspired look. For a fancy party, wear sophisticated pieces like a flowy maxi dress or heels with ribbons tied around the ankles for a ballerina touch.
READ MORE: What Your Professional Look Says About You
If you need a more professional look, try a delicate blouse with a floaty hem. Paired with sleek dress pants, this elegant shirt adds some movement to your typical office outfit. You should also experiment with a lacy chiffon top or a long tulle skirt in a neutral or muted color, advises Bustle. Who says you can't be a businesswoman and a ballerina at the same time?
Although ballet-inspired fashion is nothing new, this is one trend that is as timeless as it is elegant. Not only can you look feminine, but you can kick butt while you do. When you earn a round of applause, though, just don't forget to thank the ballerinas that inspired your sassy, sophisticated style!

He was the one responsible for so many of you being banned from Xbox Live for being naughty boys and girls! Toulouse has worked for Microsoft since 1994 in various roles and became head of the Xbox Live enforcement team in August 2007 where he quickly gained the nickname of the 'Banhammer'.

Toulouse is now returning to Microsoft as the Director of Community Engagement at Black Tusk Studios, a studio owned by Microsoft which is currently working on the next Gears of War project. The Banhammer readily admits he has "Been in hiding" for the past couple of years, but has been "shadowing the Gears forums and looking at people's thoughts." says Toulouse "I don't just want us to make the best next generation Gears of War game ever, I want to make sure that everyone playing the game today feels just as good today and down the road in their investment into our amazing world as we do."

Lindquist & Vennum represents businesses across the nation in conflicts involving charges of unfair business practices brought by competitors, consumers or governmental agencies. Our antitrust attorneys also integrate antitrust compliance and counseling with individuals clients' transaction planning, litigation and industry needs. Lindquist's Antitrust practice was recognized with a band 1 ranking in the 2015 edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business, Antitrust – Minnesota.
Business activities sometimes raise antitrust and trade regulation issues that must be resolved by litigation or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms. Lindquist helps clients respond to competitors', suppliers' and purchasers' anticompetitive practices and unfair business activities. We also defend clients against antitrust charges and related claims made by competitors, suppliers, purchasers, consumers, and governmental agencies.
Mergers and acquisitions frequently involve significant antitrust issues. Lindquist attorneys have directed dozens of successful Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) filings in support of such transactions. We also assist clients with issues arising from agency review of HSR filings, such as handling requests for additional information from the Federal Trade Commission and spinning off portions of businesses.
Government investigations can arise unexpectedly and create significant costs and risks. Lindquist helps businesses and associations respond to demands for documents and information, limit the impact on clients, negotiate solutions with government enforcers to avoid contested litigation if possible, and litigate when necessary. When competitors engage in anticompetitive behavior, we work with government enforcers to initiate investigations.
You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander. A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.
Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used. For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.
AND and OR may be used in a search. Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance."
The + and - sign operators may be used. The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".
To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks. For example, "Project Finance".
Searches are not case sensitive.

yankeechick Review
Very Nice for the Price!
I absolutely love the 26 x 26 pillows I purchased for my king sized bed. They fit beautifully. I've had them a few weeks and usually use them to prop myself up in bed for reading. They've kept shape so far! They came nicely packed, clean bright white, and true to the picture. Good buy.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The pillow's color is white in the picture and bright white and clean looking when I recieved it.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. I purchased the 26 x 26 and they fit perfectly in my new shams. They're firm, not too oversized, and look beautiful on my king sized bed.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The sight discription was very accurate.

Chrome is a browser not a home page. I think that your probably mean Internet Explorer rather than Outlook Express as Outlook Express is very unlikely to be present on Windows 7.
I guess that you want to set your normal home page on Chrome. In Chrome it is called start up page. Open your usual home page using Chrome. Open settings and then under On start up click on "Set pages" then use current pages.

By Naila Missous, Barcelona
Spanish students have taken to the streets of Barcelona to voice their opinions on what really matters to them: education spending cuts.
The only way you get people to listen is by making noise. You can't sit there and whisper in the corner of a room amidst the sound of howling wolves and expect to be heard. And this was exactly the performance seen on the streets of Barcelona on February 29 during the protest. An array of chants (some more colourful than others) were reiterated over and over as students from Universities all over Barcelona vented their anger.
Some protesters were found to have broken away from a peaceful rally, throwing rocks and other objects leading to a number of arrests. Some were agitators, some were angry and some were opportunists – all passionate enough to get up and protest.
Barcelona is not the only city to have risen up. Protests have also taken place in Madrid and Valencia, though no arrests or violence has been recorded.
Marta Navarro, a Biology student at the Universidad de Valencia said; "The situation in Spain only seems to get worse. We don't want to take money away from education or health. Leave education in peace."
Following through with national protests, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB) have held their own internal protest at the University today, causing classes to be cancelled and even train routes halted to stop students from gaining easy access to the campus.
"The train didn't stop at UAB like usual. I had to get off at Bellaterra, and came walking. There was no one in class at 08:45 when it was meant to start at 08.30" said Montserrat, a student of English at the Facultat de Filosofia i Lletres in UAB.
The minority of students and Professors wandering the vacant hall ways were greeted by mattress' thrust across the floor and chairs piled up to block entrances.
The protests at the UAB seem to have fashioned calmly in comparison to yesterdays blazes. Nothing yet has occurred to suggest violence however authorities have been dispersed across neighbouring towns.

Introduction to Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
We are going to see the basic Introduction to Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This is a very basic article in the series of WPF tutorial. This article would cover few points about the WPF which includes summary of WPF history, why Microsoft introduced WPF and why WPF is better than Windows Forms applications.
|Introduction to WPF
Microsoft released .Net framework 3.0 on 21-Nov-2006. No major architectural changes were included in .Net Framework 3.0 and it uses the same architecture and CLR (Common Language Runtime) as .Net Framework 2.0 does. However, this new framework included following 4 new major components along with WPF introduction.
- Windows Presentation Foundatation (WPF) : WPF formely known as Avalon. Microsoft introduced WPF as a new member of Windows based Application family. WPF mostly focuses on User Interfaces of windows application along with 3D graphics.
- Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) : This is a service oriented messaging system similar to Web Services. Earlier code named as Indigo.
- Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) : A workflow based task automation and integrated transations system.
- Windows CardSpace
Introduction to Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
All .Net Framework versions prior to .Net Framework 3.0 were mostly relied on GDI/GDI+ subsystems. To get the introduction to Windows Presentation Foundation we should know these subsystems –
What is GDI & GDI+?
Graphics Device Interface (GDI/GDI+) is one of the older core system of Microsoft's Windows Operating Systems. Microsoft introduced GDI/GDI+ as an interface for Windows Application Programming.
From the represantation of Graphical objects to the transmission of these object to few output devies like Monitor and Printer is the main responsibility of this GDI/GDI+ systems. It means GDI/GDI+ systems are responsible for task that involves some visual appearences like font rendering, line & curves drawing, bitmaps and palletes, etc. Simple multimedia activities like drawing a line does not require fast graphics and hence GDI can be used here.
However, these systems are not suitable for high performance multimedia operations such as Games, animations and rich visual effects.
Something was required that supports high performance multimedia activities and hence Microsoft introduced WPF. WPF is based on Direct3D and Direct3D is high performance system suitable for providing a visually stunning user interface.
What is GDI?
GDI was first introduced in 1985 with the first Microsoft version release. The idea behind the GDI is to create an abstraction of physical device, so the calling application doesn't have to adjust its code for specific device. In other words, the same code that using GDI will be able to draw graphics on any GDI compatible device and it will look same each time. But the GDI has some drawbacks that it does not exposed to the advanced abilities of modern devices such as animation and rich visual effects, transforms, light sources, physics and more. This limitation is called as Inability to Rasterize 3D and this limitation makes GDI not suitable well for animations and rich visual effects.
What is GDI+?
To overcome the limitations of GDI, Microsoft brought GDI+, the successor of GDI in 2001 with release of Windows XP. GDI was expanded to GDI+ and it has some advanced features such as 2D vector graphics, Imaging capability, 2D anti-aliasing, Floating point coordinates and Alpha blend for colors. But still rendering the vector based graphics demands a lot of CPU usage because it is not hardware accelerated. Though GDI+ provides better rendering quality and clean code, it makes it slower than GDI. GDI/GDI+ is good in drawing windows and buttons but very CPU consuming and not hardware accelerated due to which windows leading to misbehaving software and frozen and unresponsive program operation. GDI/GDI+ is not suitable for high performance multimedia such as games.
What is DirectX/Direct3D?
To overcome the limitations of GDI/GDI+, Microsoft came with DirectX – a set of interfaces for direct access to video cards, sound devices and mouse to perform more optimized vector calculations, visual effects and more. The most important interfaces are Direct3D for rendering 3D graphics and DirectDraw (Direct2D) for rendering 2D graphics. Everything in Direct3D is hardware accelerated, many complex calculations performed by the CPU itself, to reduce the load on CPU. Direct3D makes a resolution independent and vector based applications to take advantages of modern graphics hardware.
What is WPF in .Net?
As mentioned above, Windows Presentation Foundation is nothing but a Graphical subsystem which provides visually stunning user interfaces in Windows based applications. WPF is based on XAML which is a XML based language. The architecture of WPF is spans across managed code and native code components.
- WPF is essentially a new API for creating a Graphical User Interfaces for the Windows Platform.
- WPF is more than just a next-generation presentation system for building Windows Client application along with visually stunning user interfaces.
- WPF is builds on top of the DirectX (Direct3D), instead of relying on the older GDI/GDI+ subsystem.
- WPF is a vector graphics based UI presentation layer and being vector based it allows the presentation layer to smoothly scale UI elements to any size without distortion.
- WPF is "skin-able" and "theme-able". It means WPF allows changing the look and feel of any UI control.
- The core of WPF is a resolution independent and the vector based rendering engine takes the advantages of modern graphics hardware.
- The core of WPF is extended with a comprehensive set of application development features that includes Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), controls, data binding, layout, 3D graphics, animations along with rich visual effects, templates, media, text etc.
- The most important feature of the WPF is – extended DataBinding. With WPF, you can perform data manipulation using .Net Framework Code, XAML or a combination of both. You can bind to controls, public properties, XML or objects, making data binding quick, flexible and easier than ever.
- WPF provides a consistent programming model for building applications and a clean separation between the user interfaces and the business logic. You may now separate the function of a control from its appearance.
- With WPF, you can build up complex UI elements from simpler one. Now you can build a new control which may have controls inside a control.
- With WPF, you can create a wide range of both stand-alone and browser-hosted applications.

Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death
Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death is the first installment of James Runcie's Grantchester Mysteries series, featuring the title character as a vicar/detective who finds himself in the middle of some intriguing cases. Ranging from petty theft to murder, the crimes Sidney Chambers helps detective Geordie Keating investigate often put him at odds with his religious obligations, but that notwithstanding, Sidney makes an excellent sleuth.
The first book in the Sidney Chambers series was published in 2012. Since then, Runcie has added two more works to the series including Sidney Chambers and the Perils of the Night and Sidney Chambers and the Problem of Evil. The books are organized so that each work contains several short mysteries that Sidney and Geordie must solve. In The Shadow of Death, the cases include the supposed suicide of a local lawyer, a stolen engagement ring at a New Year's party, a missing priceless painting, and the murder of a local lord.
My favorite of the cases from The Shadow of Death is titled "Honorable Men," which features the murder of Lord Tavisham. In this installment, the local community theater stages a production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar with Lord Tavisham as the title character. Feeling it is his civic duty to be in the play, Sidney has a minor role and is on hand opening night when Lord Tavisham becomes the victim of an all-too-real reenactment of Caesar's brutal slaying. Because Sidney is on the spot when the murder occurs, detective Geordie Keating enlists Sidney's help in solving the crime.
I listened to Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death as an Audible book. Narrating the work is the fabulous Peter Wickham. The Audible version of the book comes in at 11 hours and 22 minutes, but Wickham is an engaging reader throughout. Wickham also narrates the other two Grantchester Mysteries books, so I feel sure that I will listen to them on Audible also because of Wickham's excellent performance.
I stumbled upon the Grantchester Mysteries through the PBS television series Grantchester. With the handsome James Norton starring as Sidney Chambers and the clever Robson Green as Geordie Keating, Grantchester has quickly become one of my Sunday night favorites. The first season of Grantchester wrapped up last night (Feb. 22), and while it stayed true in many ways to Runcie's first book, differences are numerous and quite noticeable. Mainly, the television version of Sidney Chambers is much more flawed than the book version, but still, the show is enjoyable, and I believe it will be around for quite some time.
If I have one complaint about Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death, it is that the idea of a vicar working as a part-time detective is becoming a little too popular with writers at this time. I had not long finished G.M. Malliet's Wicked Autumn when I stumbled upon the Grantchester series. Malliet released her first Max Tudor book in 2011; Tudor is also a vicar turned sleuth. Both series are well written and enjoyable, but there is such a thing as too much of the good stuff.
Overall, Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death is a great read. Its light-heartedness and lack of gruesome details make it easy to enjoy for those who like their mysteries to provoke more thought than to show gore.

Several readers have written that they had trouble figuring out how to add a comment to one of my web site articles.
Since I appreciate the article comments, and I invite comments at the end of each newsletter article, I decided that this topic might make a useful article.
As an example, I received an email from Robin in England, where the final comment was that Robin was unable to figure out how to post a comment on the web site:
Also, I wanted to add a comment to the article but I could not make out how to add the comment!
Robin (England)
Below each article on my Terry's Computer Tips web site, the comment section has a header "Speak Your Mind" as shown in the annotated image below.
The first input field is mandatory — that's your name. This will be displayed as the author of the post.
The next input field is also mandatory, and requires your email address. This is not displayed with the comment, nor is there any link for a site visitor to mail you using that address. The email address is visible only to the site administrator.
The next field is optional. If you have your own web site, this is the place to put it. When your name is displayed as author of the comment, if you have provided a web site in this field, the name is displayed as a link to the web site. You might get more visitors to your site…
The next field is a large text box that allows you to enter your comment. Most HTML is does not work if it is entered in this text box (it will be displayed as text rather than "working" HTML). Carriage returns work, so you can use normal sentence and paragraph structure.
Don't be worried about the relatively small size of the text box. The text will scroll so you can make your comment about as long as you want it to be.<grin>
The comment text box is followed by the anti-comment-spam system called reCAPTCHA. If a commenter has a problem, it's usually with the reCAPTCHA test. I can't do without it, though — I tried and spent way too much time handling spam comments that had been automatically posted (presumably, because of the numbers posted).
The reCAPTCHA box is designed to prevent automatic spamming programs from being able to add spam comments to the posting. An earlier version was called CAPTCHA, but its images were too easy for character recognition software to identify. reCAPTCHA uses two "words" — sometimes one is just numbers and the other a string of unrelated letters that are twisted or otherwise deformed.
The test to keep out the automated spammer is for you to visually recognize the letters and numbers and to type them into the reCAPTCHA input box that says "Type the two words"
Note the three vertical red symbols to the right of the reCAPTCHA input box.
- The top one is two curved arrows, meaning "I can't read these, give me another set of words.".
- The middle one looks like a speaker with lines representing sound coming out of it. It will make reCAPTCHA play a sound file saying those words.
- The bottom one is a question mark, which means HELP!
When you're ready to post your comment, click on the button (below the reCAPTCHA test) that says "POST COMMENT."
As a final note, because of comment spam, I have WordPress set to moderate all comments. That means they're held for me to see them before they're released to the public. It also means that, when you post a comment, it will not show up immediately. You don't need to post it again unless you got an error message.

Mexico's loss is becoming Seattle's gain as cruise ships once headed for the Mexican Rivera are rerouted to domestic destinations because of the swine flu outbreak south of the border.
Five major cruise lines with Mexican destinations have canceled calls at those ports because of the possibility that passengers could become infected and spread the virus to other passengers.
With a ship full of passengers and no place the ships can travel southward from home ports in Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Diego, some cruise lines are sending their ships north.
Royal Caribbean Cruises, for instance expects to make about a half-dozen previously unscheduled calls in Seattle in the next few weeks. The company's ships will bring 3,000 passengers on each call to tour Seattle. Carnival Cruises may do the same with some of its vessels.
Because federal law prohibits foreign-flagged vessels from serving itineraries with only U.S. destinations, those vessels calling on Seattle will also call on Victoria or Vancouver, B.C. during their cruises.
Other cruise lines, not wanting to travel the more than 2,000 miles back and forth from Southern California to Seattle and Canada, are making "technical stops" in Ensenada, Mexico and then cruising to destinations such as Santa Barbara, San Diego and Catalina in California.
Those "technical stops" are brief visits to the northern Mexico port during which no passengers or crew members leave the vessel.
Fortunate for the cruise lines, many of the vessels now deployed in the Mexican market are moving northward to cruise to Alaska for the summer from Seattle and Vancouver.
Other ports benefiting from the diversions include San Francisco and Astoria, Ore., both of which will see more ship calls than normal.

On Tuesday, 16/05/2017, the 'Content Rules?!' congress took place in Antwerp. This was the first congress in Flanders with a specific focus on content marketing, native advertising, and branded content. All very interesting subjects, so FairEtail sent 2 envoys to the AP Hogeschool in Antwerp because we couldn't miss this.
But, what was the congress about? Well, they organized dozens of lectures, workshops, and case studies, which all gave multiple insights into content marketing strategies. By attending, FaireEtail will be better able to help their clients with everything related to content marketing.
Further on in this blog, we'll talk about the most important takeaways and insights on this subject.
Joe Pulizzi, the famous keynote speaker and founder of the Content Marketing Institute, started the day. What we learned from him was the touchpoint you need to achieve between your company and the consumer. A lot of companies make the mistake of focusing too much on their product or brand without thinking of the consumer. It's important that the consumer can find an answer to the question, 'What's in it for me?' Once he finds the answer to this question, through your content, you get to the 'Sweet Spot,' the point where you have an overlap between your knowledge and expertise and the passion, question, or problem the consumer has.
At this point, the consumer considers your content to be valuable to him. This will lead to achieving your goals.
The next speaker we had was the famous marketer, Dave Trott. In his own specific way – with pen, paper, and an overhead projector – he explained his vision on content marketing.
His motto? 'Simple is smart, complicated is stupid.'
According to him, companies are making their marketing and communications too complex. He suggests you need to formulate your message so that an 11-year old can understand it. If you don't succeed in this, you are making it too difficult for the consumer. A second lesson we learned from him was that you need to try to differentiate. In line with making everything too complex, he finds that everybody tries to do the same thing.
To explain this, let us provide a little example. Do you know who the 44th president of the USA was? No? Do you know the first black president of the USA? Exactly, Obama is the correct answer to both questions. The difference in how you formulate the question proves what Trott means.
In question one, Obama was just lumped in with all of the other presidents the USA has had. However, in the second question, you arrive at the same answer, but from another angle. This is exactly what brands need to do to achieve a way to stand out. Don't do the same as everybody else, but differentiate in a unique way to make your brand the obvious answer. And let this be the one thing you can do with content marketing.
Besides these two important keynote speakers, we also saw a lot of other interesting presentations. But with the lesson of Dave Trott in our minds, we'll just provide a small roundup of the most important insights and learnings:
Or as Kris Dewitte says: 'Less is more also applies to content marketing! It's not the quantity but the quality that is important'

... detoxed at home cold turkey and it took 3 weeks. She is never to take again and is on pheno for the rest of her life. Recently she was in the hospital and they gave her only four doses of lortab for pain and only 4 doses of xanax for anxiety. We all stupidly thought such small amount would not hurt. three days after the last does she is in full-blown withdrawl just like 15 yrs ago. It is day 9 and it's no better. Does anyone have a suggestion? She is so miserable. How could this happen with such a small dose?

Hello 5catsam. I understand, fully from where you're coming from. And I apologize that well, I'm late in an answer to you. I wasn't on line for several days, and only now saw your question. Fair to say its how addictive it can be for your mother. I know all about xanax. Been there, done it. The detox also. Theres little than I might say to ease and or help change the situation. If I may, I know that in reference to the Benzodiazepines, they are off limits for me. Give me just a valiumn, or two, and I'd be hooked in a jiffy.In no time. Much the same might be said for xanax. I do understand your frustration, in as, you said, it is truly a small amount. But its not the quantity. There is no fault here. Not all. Its just as it is. I have several friends who continue to smoke, cigarettes, and they both are close to catching there last breath. Its literally killing them, but they still smoke. Why? Some of us can stop whatever it may be, and never one time look back. Others, always looking back. Why? I don't know. Well, by the time you read this, if you do, hopefully she will be having a much better time of it. I sincerely wish you 5catsam and your family the very best.

Photographer's Note
Kovalam has three crescent shaped beaches separated by rocky outcroppings. Shallow waters stretching for hundreds of metres are ideal for swimming. The beaches have steep palm covered headlands and are lined with shops that offer all kinds of goods and services
Kovalam was brought to the public eye by the Maharaja of Travancore. The European guests of the then Travancore kingdom discovered the potentiality of Kovalam beach as a tourist destination in the 1930s. However, Kovalam shot into limelight in the early seventies with arrivals of the masses of hippies. This exodus started the transformation of a casual fishing village of Kerala into one of the most important tourist destinations in all India

Accelerate innovation while delivering on time, on cost and on schedule
Defense budgets are starting to grow again, but concerns linger about the structural overhead and inefficiencies. Traditionally, the defense sector focused on a bespoke development model that typically carried high cost structures (to carry the burden of cutting-edge development and compliance requirements,) long development cycles and a limited ability to invest ahead of the market.
Companies need to manage collaboration across the entire supply chain to control IP and mitigate program risk. To keep costs in line, and to ensure continuing investment in research and development, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) under a lot of pressure to re-examine cost structures, enact lean processes, and improve delivery contracts on-time and on-schedule.

The authority ruled that that Gaydamak's involvement in the political arena as head of the Social Justice party, presents a conflict of interests as he could use the station to promote his own political goals and ensure journalistic freedom.
Gaydamak has voiced an interest in running for mayor of Jerusalem in the upcoming municipal elections in November.
The Second Authority's council decided that keeping 99 FM open would be in the public's best interest, and voted in favor of allowing its employees to continue working.
For this reason, it was decided that Gaydamak's control of the station will immediately be transferred to a trustee, who must sell Gaydamak's stocks by December 15, 2008.
Trouble in Russia
Meanwhile on the Russian front, Gaydamak is in the midst of closing his second newspaper within a one year span. At the end of 2007, Gaydamak closed his popular paper entitled Moskovskie Novosti and he presently intends on closing his economic newspaper entitled FM & Business.
Officials in his media group have said that from the time of the newspaper's inception, they intended on closing after a while and replacing the typed version with an internet one.
When Gaydamak acquired FM & Business he paid $6 million and a similar investment was made in order to launch its computerized version. Russian sources say Gaydamak offered to sell it for $2 million.
Marketing executives from other newspapers claimed that it is almost impossible to sell the publication since it is not popular among potential readers or amongst advertisers. According to market research, the newspaper's annual income dropped from $2.5 million to $1.5 million.
The rumors spreading in Russia have been that Gaydamak is interested in selling his entire media group and that he has offered to do so for $80-$100 million. Experts from the field estimate the net worth of his media group at $30-$40 million. Gaydamak himself has denied all such claims.

The Lenox Lounge, A Place That Matters
July 20th, 2010, 4:53 pm
The Lenox Lounge at 288 Lenox Ave. in Harlem. Operated continuously since 1941, except for a seven-month interruption for renovation in 1999-2000, the Lenox Lounge is one of New York's historic jazz clubs. Alvin Reid, Sr. found the club a bit too elegant for his taste when he first encountered it as a youngster in the 1950s. But when he bought it from the Greco family in 1988, he thought a revived Lenox Lounge would be just the thing to revitalize his beloved neighborhood and its signature music at one and the same time. It hasn't been easy. Locals use the club as a hang-out more than a place to hear live music, and the ratio of tourists to residents in the famous Zebra Room is not what Reid hoped for. But the author of our new profile on the Lenox Lounge, a young jazz vocalist herself, has discovered that the Sunday and Monday night jam sessions — where jazz veterans and up-and-comers meet – are continuing the legacy of jazz as "exciting entertainment, creative art form, and collective learning process."

TIM Sheens has been at the top of rugby league coaching for 30 years and experience tells him this World Cup is going to be one of the toughest campaigns Australia have ever been involved in.
Sonny Bill Williams, Sam Burgess and more than 120 other NRL players are scattered across all the nations, waiting to ambush Australia.
The Kangaroos are the top seeds and the favourites, but the Kiwis are the reigning champs, and England are on home soil and motivated to prove in their first-up clash against the Aussies they are in it to win it.
Sheens knows everyone expects Australia to win, but that is not always the way it unfolds.
"You don't often get the credit for it because people expect it," he agreed.
"But I think there is more anticipation from the Australian public in respect to guys like the Burgesses and company playing for England and certainly Sonny Bill playing for New Zealand.
"I think people, as do our players, have more of a respect for those two teams now. So there is more uncertainty and of course uncertainty brings interest.
"But we are rated and seeded number one, we have been for some time, well before my time. But that doesn't necessarily mean you win it."
And as for the competition this time round?
"I think this will be one of the strongest, if not the strongest, contested World Cup," he said.
"With the relaxing of the rules so guys can play World Cup this year and still play State of Origin next year or play for Australia and New Zealand again next year, Australia have about 125 NRL players in the pool and we are only using 24 of those.
"And Super League in England are the same, so the standard will go up considerably. I think this series in England will be very hard to win.
"If you are going to win a World Cup you want to win it the hard way. You want to play the best sides. You want to test yourself."
Australia have a wonderful mix of youth and experience and there will be plenty of competition for spots in the first Test against England on October 26.
Sheens has made two trips to England this year to make sure the Aussies are fully prepared and he said he would be treating the 10-day build-up to the England game with with a "State of Origin-type intensity.
That doesn't mean he will risk any player carrying injury after a tough season.
"I wouldn't want to be putting needles in anyone for game one, put it that way," he said.
Asked if there was any doubt over Greg Inglis's fitness, Sheens said: "Greg will be in game one.
"The injury he has isn't an injury that is going to stop him playing any of the games."

EUCALYPTUS SAUNA WHISKThe healing properties of eucalyptus have been widely known for a very long time already. The leaves of eucalyptus are a valuable source of precious essential oil, which has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect, as well as phytoncides, which cleanse and revitalize the air. Eucalyptus is an excellent natural inhaler. Inhaling a resinous and a bit harsh odour makes a whisk made from eucalyptus aquifolium an invaluable remedy for prevention and treatment of respiratory and cold-related diseases. When visiting a steam room, we advise you to press the whisk against your face and to inhale its odour for 3 to 5 minutes. The combination of eucalyptus aquifolium (acutifoliate) with eucalyptus argentea (silvery) can make the whisk even more durable and flexible in addition to its healing properties. Also, if you wish, you can combine eucalyptus with oak or birch. Such combined whisks can be very useful in presence of rheumatism and pains in joints and muscles. This is why such whisks are recommended to be used when having a massage, which will help to alleviate rheumatism and pains in joints and muscles.
The harsh cooling odour of eucalyptus mobilizes nervous system and helps to recover from stress or disease. It boosts up energy which is responsible for increased life expectancy.$ 4.25

After Orrick rejection, SJ Berwin targets global private equity via US tie-up
Proskauer Rose's funds team has emerged as the driving force behind the proposed merger with SJ Berwin, according to sources familiar with the situation.
It was revealed last week (TheLawyer.com, 6 May) that the two firms have entered into early-stage discussions around a potential tie-up following the news that another US suitor, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, pulled out of talks with the City firm.
The key advocates in the Proskauer funds practice are alumni of Testa Hurwitz & Thibeault, the Boston firm that dissolved in 2005 and with which SJ Berwin enjoyed a close relationship in the early 2000s. They include co-head of corporate Robin Painter and funds co-head David Tegeler.
One partner familiar with the firm said: "The funds group in Boston will be pretty keen, but beyond that there's not much [geographical] overlap."
The audacious play would put a merged firm into the global top 30, with a combined revenue of approximately £620m. SJ Berwin's desire to become a global player in funds work is in contrast to Hogan Lovells' full-service approach.
A narrower focus would have the distinct brand advantage, with SJ Berwin reverting to its international strategy of the late 1990s, which saw it acquire
funds practices in Germany and France.
However, some have already questioned the logic of the tie-up.
"Proskauer have never really done much outside of America. They've dabbled, but they haven't developed an international strategy," said one former SJ Berwin partner.
Between July 2007 and September 2008 Proskauer established offices in London, Paris, Beijing, Hong Kong and São Paolo. However, none of these practices have partner headcounts in double figures.
The move would represent a U-turn for the New York firm, which has been trying to build in London through laterals since failed talks with Richards Butler in 2005. The most recent hire saw Travers Smith funds chief Robert Barry join last September.

Most useful Genes
Women need the most effective genes. Identify more on our affiliated website - Click here: amy jane model.
What are the very best genes?
Well. Their form of complex.
We can intuitively establish best genes as genes that give us better possible to succeed.
While its true, its also true that each one of us have large potential to succeed. All of us are under achievers.
But lets postpone the discussion for latter. Genes do matter. Different genes do provide different capacity. Some faculties, among species,...
Most females in many species want 3 things.
Women want the most effective genes.
What're the very best genes?
Well. Its form of complicated.
We are able to intuitively determine best genes as genes that provide us better possible to succeed. Visit amy jane bellator to read the reason for it.
While its true, its also true that every one of us have huge potential to achieve success. Many of us are under achievers.
But lets postpone the discussion for latter. Genes do matter. Different genes do give different ability. Some faculties, among species, are so important it become common nowadays.
Your genes still decide the manner in which you best achieve success, while your success on something, including getting set, depends on the options rather than your genes.
Say Mary and Jane lived-in the past. Say they were ladies Cheetah. Mary picks Bob the Slow. Linda picks John the Fastest.
Marys child will obviously be slow. Slow Cheetahs died. So Marys went extinct. Janes child is likely to be quick. Quick Cheetah survives. Therefore Janes genes proliferate.
After a few years, all girls Cheetahs is likely to be like Jane. Got it?
The same way works if Jane and Mary were human. If Mary pick Bob poor people and Jane pick John the rich. Marys boy will not be proficient at making money. I discovered web amy jane model by browsing the Internet. Janes son is going to be.
Therefore Marys daughter may have few descendants. Janes child may have plenty. After a few years, all women is likely to be materialistic like Jane. That while, has come a thousands of years back.
So, considering that element alone, a male that want to mate with many females do not have to be concerned about how to get females. Women want the best genes and may automagically pick men most abundant in potential to survive. Thats just one aspect nevertheless.
Peacocks intricate tails don't help his survival. If such a thing, it decreases it by creating the peacocks easier target for predators. But peahens like peacocks with long tails. Why?
Thats where the second element is. Thats the issue of advertising. In promotion, appear-ance is sometimes more impor-tant than true quality. Therefore, it's frequently worthy to sacrifice some real quality for better appearances of it.
After-all, some genetic traits like beauty, has no other use besides signaling good genes.. To learn additional information, you might claim to check out: amy jane gun.

Can Soils Soak Up Greenhouse Gases?
At the collapsed climate change negotiations in The Hague, the impasse was over carbon sinks used to offset greenhouse gas emissions. The US wants soil to be accepted as one of those sinks, but their critics say it's just hot air, and another way to avoid reducing the use of fossil fuel.
Richard Aedy: Last week in Ottowa, there was a discreet little meeting. We were there, so were the Canadians, it's their capital. But the really important representatives were from the US and the EU. The meeting was an attempt to move things forward after the failure at The Hague, and it didn't work out.
The sticking point's the same: the umbrella group of countries led by the US want to be allowed to offset some emissions with greenhouse sinks. The Europeans want the emissions cut. Most debates focused on forests, but increasingly, scientists are talking about another form of sink: the soil; the idea of using soils to soak up carbons being widely attributed to Rattan Lal, Professor of Soil Science at Ohio State University. At the moment, the world soils don't act as a carbon sink, they act as a carbon source. Ever since we invented farming, soils have been losing carbon, about 100-billion tonnes so far.
Rattan Lal says the main culprit is one of our oldest technologies, the plough.
Rattan Lal: When it opens up the soil it also mixes oxygen in the soil, and that leads to oxidation of carbon riches in the soil, that's one consequence of ploughing. Another consequence of ploughing is that it decreases the structural stability of the soil so that it becomes more susceptible to erosion by water and by wind. And as the erosion happens, it removes the light fraction of the soil, which is organic matter content. So ploughing in fact is a double jeopardy: it oxidises more carbon and it promotes more erosion, and by both processes, the carbon is depleted.
Richard Aedy: To put back this carbon, we have to stop ploughing, or plough much less. Ploughs not only dig a furrow through the soil, they turn it over, which is what does the real damage when it comes to oxidising carbon. Ploughing in a way that doesn't turn the soil, or not ploughing at all, is called 'reduced tillage'. It's an approach that goes hand in hand with preventing soil erosion, using plenty of mulch and manure and planting crops to enhance the soil.
Professor Lal says applying these techniques around the world would sequester a lot of carbon.
Rattan Lal: The potential of carbon sequestration on a global scale is about 0.7-billion tonnes, 0.6-billion tonnes to 1-billion tonnes per year. That's quite a lot of carbon, considering that the amount of carbon increases in the atmosphere at about 3-billion tonnes every year. So there is a lot of potential, but to realise that potential we really have to have a global adoption of improved agricultural systems which is very difficult, especially in developing countries.
Richard Aedy: That's an understatement, to say the least. Ploughing kills weeds and many farmers in developing countries have no alternative way of doing that. Farmers in rich countries can use a herbicide to do the same job, which explains why Monsanto, the maker of Round-up, is so enthusiastic about the idea. But Monsanto isn't the only cheerleader; many scientists, including Ian Noble, Chief Executive of the CRC for Greenhouse Accounting, say sequestering carbon in soil offers a distinct advantage.
Ian Noble: Carbon stored in the soil is actually much safer for reversibility than for example trees and other vegetation. However there are some risks. Say for example the farmer has been carrying out say, a minimum tillage, for 10, 15 years or more, and then for one reason or another they go back to deep ploughing, even for a few years, that can release a lot of the carbon that's been stored. So any monitoring system has to be accurate enough to detect that, and make sure that that's properly accounted for.
Richard Aedy: These issues of monitoring and compliance are important. They're expensive to do, but if they're not done, it's impossible to know how much carbon is being stored in the soil. If it becomes possible to trade in carbon credits, some farmers will be able to sequester carbon as a cash crop, and the money will be there to make sure they're doing it properly. Ian Noble says farmers already have reasons to be interested in minimum tillage.
Ian Noble: Minimum tillage was not done originally for Kyoto purposes, it was done because it was good agricultural practice, and we'd like to encourage that practice throughout, not just the Annex 1 countries, the developed countries, but also through the developing countries. So it is a very worthwhile thing to do for many different purposes.
Richard Aedy: It sounds almost too good to be true, and as we've heard, compliance will be a real issue. Even Professor Rattan Lal, the man who's done most to popularise the idea, doesn't believe soil sequestration's a panacea.
Rattan Lal: It's an important strategy, it's cost effective, but it is not the only thing that can solve the problem. Eventually in the long run, we must find alternatives to carbon based fuel.

The Antarctic Treaty Summit, consisting of a group of people - as part of civil society - have adopted the following Declaration in the city where the Antarctic Treaty was signed on this day 50 years ago by the original 12 Signatory States;
Recognising that the establishment of lasting peace on Earth represents the primary condition for the survival of humankind and considering that the Antarctic Treaty has provided the means and the inspiration to ensure peace, security, environmental protection and international co-operation in the Antarctic region.
Acknowledging that increased commitment to the objectives and principles of the Treaty has been demonstrated by its increased membership to 47 States Parties that together represent approximately two-thirds of the world's population;
Aware that the template and visionary nature of the Antarctic Treaty have been employed to good effect in other treaties seeking to promote international co-operation;
Noting the indefinite nature of the Antarctic Treaty and that Antarctica should remain a natural reserve forever devoted to peace and science;
Bearing in mind the fundamental principles of international law set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, and that the Antarctic Treaty Parties have pledged that:
Noting that the environmental principles and mechanisms developed for the protection of Antarctica and its dependent and associated ecosystems have inspired the development of international environmental law at large and that such a role of the Antarctic legal regime should continue to be developed progressively;
Convinced that continued scientific research in Antarctica and the effective dissemination of its results are vital to our understanding of the Earth's systems, especially in relation to climate change, and thus is crucial to the interest of all humankind;
Reiterates the view that Antarctica should remain a continent devoted to international co-operation, the pursuit of scientific endeavour, and that it should be used exclusively for peaceful purposes;
Believes that the pristine nature of Antarctica as well as its aesthetic value will provide inspiration to present and future generations;
Affirms that the Antarctic Treaty, strengthened by the constituents of the Antarctic Treaty System, remains the effective legal means to provide for the international governance of the continent and its surrounding waters;
Encourages all States with an interest in the future of Antarctica to accede to the Antarctic Treaty and its associated instruments, thereby strengthening international commitment to it;
Calls on all States to align themselves with the fundamental principles of peace and international co-operation, including importantly co-operation through science and to recognise that such principles are the cornerstones that guide activities in Antarctica;
Further calls on all States to continue to improve and broaden co-operation in Antarctica taking into consideration that the interests of the international community are best served through such means;
Supports the efforts of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research: to encourage scientific research in Antarctica which at the same time meets the requirements of excellence and relevance; to continue to foster co-operation amongst the international scientific community; and to facilitate assistance for those with limited resources and experience;
Urges all States, organizations and individuals to eliminate impacts such as climate change, pollution or over-fishing that stem from outside the Antarctic Treaty area but which are harmful to the Antarctic environment;
Encourages all States to draw on the lessons learned from the Antarctic experience in creating effective governance systems for spaces beyond national jurisdictions;
Calls on all States in co-operation with the relevant non-governmental and inter-governmental organizations, to continue to improve and broaden co-operation in Antarctica recognizing that the interest of the international community are best served through such means, and urges that far-sighted, innovative and imaginative policies be developed to ensure that activities in Antarctica continue to be undertaken with the view to benefit humankind.
Encourages other like-minded people to support this Declaration.
This Declaration shall be distributed widely and shall be communicated by the coordinator of the Antarctic Treaty Summit to the General Assembly of the United Nations, the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the governments of all States Parties to the Antarctic Treaty.

Though Microsoft introduced Active Directory (AD) with Windows Server 2000, a number of organizations have still not implemented the technology, choosing instead to continue to use NT domains. AD is a far more efficient tool for managing an enterprise's users and resources and should be adopted by every Microsoft shop. To get the most out of AD however, it must be architected correctly.
This research note investigates the three primary architectural components of an AD implementation and discusses their purpose in the grand scheme of the deployment. These layers are:
- Forests
- Domains
- Organizational Units
The point of implementing AD is to achieve greater efficiency and functionality in terms of user and resource management. Design the architecture the right way to actually achieve that efficiency.

No Community Picnic This Year
We are sorry that St. Vincent Family Center will not be able to have a summer picnic this year. We are in the process of adding onto our building so that we can help more children and families in our community. Unfortunately, there is too much construction going on for us to be able to safely hold the picnic on our grounds. We are sorry we will not be able to provide a picnic for our community this year but we hope that you will join us next year.

Banking Inquiry: 'Senior managers at EBS taken in by developers' - ex director Tinney
The Bank Guarantee was "indefensible" a former non-executive director of the EBS has claimed.
Eithne Tinney also said that senior management at EBS were "taken-in by Ireland's so-called developers and also by their professional and other advisors".
She told the Banking Inquiry it was "indefensible for the government in September 2008 to in effect yield the sovereignty of this country in order to shore up a banking system that is entirely of and for itself and will never change".
Ms Tinney accepted, however, that "many grave problems would have arisen if one or more banks had failed and that the full extent of bad debts were not known at the time".
Referring to senior management being taken-in by developers, she said board members including herself were also taken in.
Although the EBS had been "cautious about joining the bandwagon" they emulated their peers.
"There was a sort of feeding frenzy as the banks clambered over one another to get a piece of the action, especially as new foreign banks had entered the market as competitors."
Ms Tinney's view of the bonus system within banks was "crazy".
"You get a bonus for lending money out. There is no incentive to get it back in. Such a system encourages greed and recklessness. It is no wonder that banks go bust from time to time."
The former director criticised the system of securitisation at the EBS where mortgages were packaged up into an asset and sold on to a new layer of investors who agree to pay a percentage of the normal value of the loans in return for interest so the money can be lent on again.
"It is ingenious in its way, as it is a system that seems to offer limitless working capital for a lending institution.
"But there is nothing to stop the new investors selling on their asset at a profit, and so on ad infinitum."
Describing the system as having the "look of a pyramid scheme" she said at the time "I could not get the image out of my head of a shark eating its own entrails".
She said as time went on she "became ever more doubtful of the fundamental banking concept of loans as assets and indeed of debts in any business as assets".
She stressed that her statement to the inquiry referred to the period from December 2000 to April 2007 when she was removed from the board.
She was re-elected onto it in 2008 but said by that time there had been many changes and a new Chief Executive Officer had been appointed.
"Sadly, it emerged during the next three years that EBS was irrecoverable. I retired from the board at the end of my third three-year term in May 2011."
