Steve Albright fired a final round 69 to get past Daniel Owen by one shot on Sunday in The Memorial at the Country Club of Ocala.
Steve Albright picked up from where he left off.
Albright, the reigning Marion County Golf Association's Golfer of the Year, fired a final round 69 to get past Daniel Owen by one shot on Sunday in The Memorial at the Country Club of Ocala.
Over the course of the two-day event, Albright, who also won golfer of the year in 2008 for MCGA, and Owen dominated the field.
Owen held a one-stroke lead over Albright after firing an opening-round 67, and the duo was eight shots clear of the next nearest competitor.
The final day of the event saw Owen and Albright battle right down to the wire.
Entering the final hole, Albright held a one-stroke lead on Owen and earned the title, as both golfers came up with pars on No. 18.
"Today is exactly why I play tournament golf," Albright said. "The competition was great and I don't think (Owen and I) were more than one shot apart the whole time (on Sunday). It was a lot of fun."
The Memorial was moved from Golden Ocala to the Country Club of Ocala this year and Albright, a member at the CCOF, was right at home in earning the title in the regular division of the year's first MCGA event.
"I felt very comfortable playing here and it is a huge advantage to play on your home course," Albright said. "(Owen) was a member here for years and he knows the course well also, so it made for a great day of competitive golf."
In the senior division, Bill Zylstra fired a final round 68 to hold off Berger Warner by one shot.
Zylstra held a one shot lead over Warner and Kenny Godwin after his first-round score of 69 and came up big down the stretch to earn the title.
He trailed Warner by one shot with three holes left to play and went birdie, birdie, par the rest of the way to claim the title.
Warner stayed close with pars on the final three holes, but Zylstra, who was third in the regular division in last year's tournament, was able to pull it out.
"(Warner) is one of the toughest competitors that I have ever gone against," Zylstra said. "He's a great golfer and it was tough today.
"It was great competition. Throw in (Kenny Godwin), who also played well and it was tough and a lot of fun."
In the regular division, Albright (137) and Owen (138) were followed by Matt Giovanelli (148), Kelly Gosse (152) and Devin Eatmon (157).
Bill Wright won the first flight for the regular division with a two-day total of 164.
For the seniors, Zylstra (137) and Warner (138) were followed by Godwin (142), Roger Dean (143) and Bobby Bryant (148).
Other flight winners in the senior division were: Brian Brown (second flight) and David Hosea (third flight).

Gold climbed toward a one-month high in London, extending a second consecutive weekly advance, on speculation Japan will increase stimulus. Silver was set for the longest rally in a year.
Bank of Japan officials started a two-day policy meeting today. The nation's currency had dropped to the lowest since June 2010 versus the dollar on speculation the BOJ, under pressure from the government of new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, will boost stimulus to lift the economy out of recession. Gold remained higher after India raised its import duty on bullion.
"The BOJ introducing fresh stimulus would be positive for precious metals," analysts at Mumbai, India-based AnandRathi Commodities Ltd. said today in a report. "The economic calendar from the U.S. is relatively light this week. Movement in bullion may stay confined to a narrow band."
Gold for immediate delivery rose 0.2% to $1,688.36 an ounce by 3:20 p.m. in London. Prices reached a four-week high of $1,696.28 on Jan. 17 and gained 1.3% last week. Gold for February delivery was little changed at $1,687.80 on the Comex in New York.
Bullion futures volume was 58% below the average for the past 100 days at this time of day, according to data on Bloomberg. Precious-metals trading will probably be subdued today as U.S. financial markets are shut for a public holiday, UBS AG wrote in a report. Gold at the afternoon "fixing," used by some mining companies to sell output, was little changed at $1,687.50 in London compared with this morning's figure.
India, 2011's biggest gold buyer, raised import duties on the metal and platinum to 6% immediately from 4%, economic affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram said today in New Dehli. Mayaram said gold demand will moderate, while Angel Commodities Broking Pvt. said consumption will probably fall in two to three months.
Goldman Forecast
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. expects gold to climb toward $1,825 over the next three months as U.S. lawmakers tackle the debt ceiling amid slowing growth, while restating a forecast for weaker prices in the second half as the world's largest economy rebounds, the bank's analysts wrote in a Jan. 18 report.
Since 1960, Congress has raised or revised the debt limit 79 times, including 49 times under Republican presidents, according to the Treasury Department.
Silver for immediate delivery added 0.3% to $31.9625 an ounce, after reaching $32.1225 on Jan. 18, the highest since Dec. 18. The metal is up for a sixth day, the longest rally since January 2012. The U.S. Mint said last week that it sold out of 2013 American Eagle silver coins and will resume sales on or about the week of Jan. 28, when inventory is replenished. Holdings in silver-backed exchange-traded products are at a record, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Palladium fell 0.6% to $718 an ounce, after reaching a 16-month high of $732.50 on Jan. 18. Platinum was up 0.5% at $1,677.20 an ounce.

Cat Videos Were Popular in 1939 Too
Okay, this 1939 comic from Cuban Communist newspaper Noticias de Hoy isn't exactly a video. But it does show that the appeal of the cat-in-box genre is longstanding. Wonder if Noticias ever had any comics about adorable drugged-out children or leaving pop stars alone.

Hepatitis C is a viral disease that leads to swelling (inflammation) of the liver.
Other types of viral hepatitis include:
Hepatitis C infection is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV).
You can catch hepatitis C if the blood of someone who has hepatitis C enters your body. Exposure may occur:
People at risk of hepatitis C are those who:
Most people who are recently infected with hepatitis C do not have symptoms. Some people have yellowing of the skin (jaundice) that goes away. Chronic infection often causes no symptoms. But tiredness, skin disorders and other problems can occur. Persons who have long-term (chronic) infection often have no symptoms until their liver becomes scarred (cirrhosis). Most people with this condition are ill and have many health problems.
The following symptoms may occur with hepatitis C infection:
Blood tests are done to check for hepatitis C:
Everyone born from 1945 - 1965 (the "baby boom" generation) should get a one-time test for hepatitis C.
Genetic testing is done to check for the type of hepatitis C (genotype). There are six types of the virus (genotypes 1 through 6). Test results can help your doctor choose treatment that is best for you.
The following tests are done to identify and monitor liver damage from hepatitis C:
Common medicines used include peginterferon and antiviral drugs. These medicines are aimed at:
For these medicines to work best, you need to take them as instructed by your health care provider. Ask what side effects you can expect and what to do if you have them.
A liver transplant may be recommended for persons who develop cirrhosis and liver cancer. Your health care provider can tell you more about liver transplant.
If you have hepatitis C:
Joining a support group can help ease the stress of having hepatitis C. Ask your health care provider about liver disease resources and support groups in your area.
Most people with hepatitis C infection have the chronic form. Persons with genotype 2 or 3 are more likely to respond to treatment than those with genotype 1.
The goal of treatment is to reduce the chance of liver damage and liver cancer. A good response to treatment occurs when the virus is no longer detected in the blood after treatment. New and more effective medicines are being developed. As a result, more and more persons with HCV are able to avoid serious liver damage and liver cancer.
Call your health care provider if:
Things that can be done to prevent the spread of hepatitis C from one person to another include:
If you or your partner is infected with hepatitis C and you have been in a stable and monogamous (no other partners) relationship, the risk of giving the virus to, or getting the virus from, the other person is low.
Hepatitis C virus cannot be spread by casual contact, such as holding hands, kissing, coughing or sneezing, breastfeeding, sharing eating utensils or drinking glasses.
Currently there is no vaccine for hepatitis C.

In the first video, she leads viewers from satellite data collection through obtaining a time series of monthly Arctic and Antarctic average sea ice extents for November 1978-December 2016. In the second video, she begins with the time series from the first video, removes the seasonal cycle by calculating yearly averages, and proceeds to calculate the slopes of the lines to get trends in the data, revealing decreasing sea ice coverage in the Arctic and increasing sea ice coverage in the Antarctic. In the third video, she uses a more advanced technique to remove the seasonal cycle and shows that the trends are close to the same, whichever method is used. She emphasizes the power of math and that the techniques shown for satellite sea ice data can also be applied to a wide range of data sets. Note: See Related & Supplemental Resources for the maps and data files (1978-2016) that will allow you to do the calculations shown in the video. These also include data for different regions of the Arctic and Antarctic, enabling learners to do additional calculations beyond those shown in the videos. (View Less)

NEW YORK (AP) — The widow of jazz pianist Oscar Peterson has filed a $1 million lawsuit against singer Hilary Kole for copyright infringement.
Kelly Peterson filed the suit in Manhattan federal court this week.
She claims Kole gave copies of four tracks she recorded with the pianist to an Internet radio program and that the radio program played at least one of the tunes.
The Daily News (http://nydn.us/XR0uWd ) reports the recordings were made in 2006 at the behest of Peterson's record producer and have never been released.
Peterson died in 2007. He was celebrated for such American standards as "Our Love is Here to Stay" and "My Romance."
Kole has performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, and frequently collaborated with Peterson.
A message was left for her manager.

James Hetfield Audio Montage Showcases Every 'Yeah!' Recorded With Metallica
Metallica frontman James Hetfield sure loves to say, "Yeah!" Both beloved and playfully lampooned for his legendary use of the affirmative, James Hetfield and his "Yeah's" have been immortalized by a diligent audio technician, who has compiled every single "Yeah!" from Hetfield's recorded history into a hilarious three-minute-and-sixteen-second montage.
How many "Yeah's" would you guess Hetfield has put to tape? 100? 500? Thousands? We're too overwhelmed to count, but thanks to Kevin Conklin from 93.7 KCLB Rocks!, you can now count for yourself if you dare to take on the daunting task. Completely cumulative, the Hetfield "Yeah!" tribute goes all the way back to Metallica's debut disc, 'Kill 'Em All,' to their latest EP, 'Beyond Magnetic.'
Already having racked up a number of plays in the six-figures, a wave of hilarious comments have been left in the SoundCloud player, including, "Anyone got lyrics for this? Googled everywhere," "That was a great 'yeah!'" and 'James Yeahfield rules!"
Check out the James Hetfield 'Yeah!' compilation in the player below, and to anyone brave enough to successfully count the number of "Yeah's" in the song, you have our upmost respect.
Every James Hetfield "Yeah!" Ever

Description: Bread knives are serrated for easy slicing through loaves of bread. They are also great for slicing pastries and tomatoes.
Kasumi knives are forged in Seki Japan, an area with over 800 years of smithing history. The blade is formed by forging folded layers of soft stainless steel (called a Jigane) around a central core formed from VG10 stainless steel. The central core is tempered to 59 - 60 Rc. This results in an exceptionally keen, long-lasting edge.
The blade is forged quite thin so as to have little or no resistance when cutting through food. Following in the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles cannot become lodged between the tang and the handle. Wooden handles are formed from resin impregnated hardwood. These hold up exceptionally well in a demanding kitchen environment.

Hope that you guys like these as much as I did. It truly shows you that there are some people out there who still dont learn ..
Dont worry anytime you feel dumb. There's lots of people who are dumber then you are ...
I will add more to the list as I find them ..
1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the many calls asking where the "Any" key is.
2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.
3. Another Compaq technician received a call from a man complaining that the system wouldn't read word processing files from his old diskettes. After trouble-shooting for magnets and heat failed to diagnose the problem, it was found that the customer labeled the diskettes by rolling them into a typewriter to type on them.
4. Another AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with Xeroxed copies of the floppies.
5. A Dell technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back in the drive and close the door. The customer asked the tech to hold on, and was then heard putting the phone down, getting up and crossing the room to close the door to his room.
6. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of trouble-shooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key.
7. Another Dell customer needed help setting up a new program, so a Dell tech suggested he go to the local Egghead. "Yeah, I got me a couple of friends," the customer replied. When told "Egghead" was a software store, the man said, "Oh, I thought you meant for me to find a couple of geeks."
8. Yet another Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys and washing them individually.
9. A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was enraged because his computer had told him he was "bad and an invalid". The tech explained that the computer's "bad command" and "invalid" responses shouldn't be taken personally.
[ That's a first taking the Blue Screen Of Death Personally]
10. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn't get her new Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring that the computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The "foot pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse.
11. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her brand-new computer wouldn't work. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in, and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked "What power switch?"
12. True story from a Novell NetWire SysOp
Caller "Hello, is this Tech Support?"
Tech: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?"
Caller: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?"
Tech: "I'm sorry, but did you say a "cup holder"?"
Caller: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."
Tech: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped; it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotion, like at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?"
Caller: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotional. It just has '4X' on it."
At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder, and snapped it off the drive!
Another well-known one that I can add is the true tale of the user who called up complaining that the instructions said to load the four diskettes into "Drive A" but he couldn't possibly get more than two in.
Error Messages ::
Here are some conversations that actually happened between help desk people and their customers.
Customer: "You've got to fix my computer. I urgently need to print a document, but the computer won't boot properly."
Tech Support: "What does it say?"
Customer: "Something about an error and non-system disk."
Tech Support: "Look at your machine. Is there a floppy inside?"
Customer: "No, but there's a sticker saying there's an Intel inside."
Tech Support: "Just call us back if there's a problem. We're open 24 hours."
Customer: "Is that Eastern time?"
Tech Support: "Ok, now click your left mouse button."
Customer: (silence) "But I only have one mouse."
Customer: "Excuse me can I use this disk? It has a hole in it.
Tech Support: "Do you have 3 1/2 inch diskettes?"
Customer: "No, I only have 3 of them."
Tech Support: "I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop."
Customer: "Ok."
Tech Support: "Did you get a pop-up menu?"
Customer: "No."
Tech Support: "Ok. Right click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?"
Customer: "No."
Tech Support: "Ok, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?"
Customer: "Sure, you told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'."
Customer: "Now what do I do?"
Tech Support: "What is the prompt on the screen?"
Customer: "It's asking for 'Enter Your Last Name.'"
Tech Support: "Ok, so type in your last name."
Customer: "How do you spell that?"
Customer: "I received the software update you sent, but I am still getting the same error message."
Tech Support: "Did you install the update?"
Customer: "No. Oh, am I supposed to install it to get it to work?"
Next is the IBM Superhighway::
A customer who had just received a laptop computer asked about the power-saving feature known as "hibernate." Would this hibernate device work in the spring and summer, the caller asked.
Another caller explained she had received a gift of software on 5.25-inch diskettes, but she had only a 3.5-inch disk drive on her computer. The technician said she had two options: Get a second disk drive, or use 3.5-inch diskettes. The customer called back later, now complaining that her disk drive was making a terrible noise. And this despite the fact that she was using a 3.5-inch diskette, she said. After a bunch of questions, the technician determined the caller had used a pair of scissors to trim the 5.25-inch diskettes to fit the 3.5-inch drive.
A caller, perplexed that his new desktop computer - the one that was supposed to do everything short of bringing on world peace -was doing nothing, cried out for help. No problem, the IBM technician said. First, open a "window" to launch a specific program. The conversation continued, and the caller asked a few moments later if it might be all right to close the window. Why, the IBM technician asked. Because, the caller responded, it was getting very chilly.
Tech Support Day Dreamin'::
Customer: "I got this problem. You people sent me this install disk, and now my A drive won't work."
Tech Support: "Your A drive won't work?"
Customer: "That's what I said. You sent me a bad disk, it got stuck in my drive, now it won't work at all."
Tech Support: "Did it not install properly? What kind of error messages did you get?"
Customer: "I didn't get any error message. The disk got stuck in the drive and wouldn't come out. So I got these pliers and tried to get it out and that didn't work either."
Tech Support: "You did what sir?"
Customer: "I got these pliers, and tried to get the disk out, but it wouldn't budge. I just ended up cracking the plastic stuff a bit."
Tech Support: "I don't understand sir, did you push the eject button?"
Customer: "No, so then I got a stick of butter and melted it and used a turkey baster and put the butter in the drive, around the disk, and that got it loose. Then I used the pliers and it came out fine. I can't believe you would send me a disk that was broke and defective."
Tech Support: "Let me get this clear. You put melted butter in your A drive and used pliers to pull the disk out?"
( At this point, I put the call on the speaker phone and motioned at the other techs to listen in.)
Tech Support: "Just so I am absolutely clear on this, can you repeat what you just said?"
Customer: "I said I put butter in my A drive to get your crappy disk out, then I had to use pliers to pull it out."
Tech Support: "Did you push that little button that was sticking out when the disk was in the drive, you know, the thing called the disk eject button?"
( Silence. )
Tech Support: "Sir?"
Customer: "Yes."
Tech Support: "Sir, did you push the eject button?"
Customer: "No, but you people are going to fix my computer, or I am going to sue you for breaking my computer!"
Tech Support: "Let me get this straight. You are going to sue our company because you put the disk in the A drive, didn't follow the instructions we sent you, didn't actually seek professional advice, didn't consult your user's manual on how to use your computer properly, but instead proceeded to pour butter into the drive and physically rip the disk out?"
Customer: "Ummmm."
Tech Support: "Do you really think you stand a chance, since we do record every call and have it on tape?"
Customer: ( now rather humbled ) "But you're supposed to help!"
Tech Support: "I am sorry sir, but there is nothing we can do for you. Have a nice day!"
WordPerfect Tech Support:
Actual dialog of a former Wordperfect Customer Support employee:
"Wordperfect Customer Support; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C:\ prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV.
"Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
"Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
"Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle-it's because it's dark."
"Yes-the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good! Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

Once upon a time, Eric Lewis was a decorated, up-and-coming jazz pianist, a sideman for Wynton Marsalis and Elvin Jones, among others, and the winner of the 1999 Thelonious Monk International Piano competition. A decade into his career, he had an epiphany. The songs he was playing weren't speaking to him the way he wanted them to: while they were part of the traditional jazz repertoire, they weren't part of his own emotional repertoire. On the other hand, there were contemporary rock songs whose lyrics meant the world to him. Lewis considered the landscape, drew the curtain, and reemerged as ELEW, a revolutionary artist who combines virtuosic skill on the grand piano with an unprecedented openness to modern pop and rock music.
Jazz pianists have always interpreted popular songs. Art Tatum did. Bud Powell did. But at some point, jazz detached from rock and roll. ELEW has fused the two together and, in the process, created a new genre, rockjazz. Over the course of two albums, ELEW has interpreted and reenergized songs by Coldplay, Nirvana, Radiohead, the Foo Fighters, The Bravery, Michael Jackson, and more. And the choice of material is only part of rockjazz. ELEW treats the grand piano the way a traditional rock front man treats the guitar, with an explosively physical style that includes entering the instrument to pluck the strings directly. Onstage, he is overtly theatrical, standing to play and even wearing specially designed pieces of forearm armor called vambraces. In addition to his groundbreaking recordings and performances, ELEW has collaborated with a host of other artists. He joined forces with platinum-selling rapper Lil Wayne, providing the piano background for "IANAHB," the opening track on Lil Wayne's 2013 album "I Am Not a Human Being II."
Last year, Complexions Contemporary Ballet Co-Artistic Directors/Founders Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson announced a five-year partnership with ELEW that named him Composer in Residence at CCB. This partnership will yield a new work every year through 2017; the first fruits of the collaboration were presented in November 2012 at Complexions Contemporary Ballet's New York Season at the Joyce Theater. Perhaps the most exciting development in ELEW's evolution as an artist is his burgeoning career as a DJ. While turntable artists combine songs with the aid of technology, ELEW is able to present them simultaneously with his own mastery of the piano. The result is yet another unprecedented hybrid—this time, the ingredients are not rock and jazz, but rather vinyl and ivory, the concert and then the afterparty.
As a result of his records and his performances, his devotion to both the history of jazz and the importance of redirecting that history, ELEW has earned a legion of prominent fans, including Josh Groban (who he supported on Groban's "Straight to You" tour of more than sixty North American arenas), Dave Matthews, Naomi Campbell, Forest Whitaker, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brooke Shields, and Woody Harrelson. He has performed at the behest of Google, Fendi, Disney, and Mercedes Benz. Donna Karan included his music on her iPhone app. And ELEW has even taken rockjazz to the White House, where he played for Barack and Michelle Obama in the East Room.

Emily & Erick's Whimsical Kitchen
If you're a fan of Anthropologie, then you'll probably love Emily and Erick's LA kitchen. It's full of sweet, decorative details (the fabric garland chandelier, the purple door) that recall that store's aesthetic. Emily is a prop stylist and interior decorator, so it's no surprise to learn that Anthropologie was a one-time client of hers!
The kitchen remains the couple's proudest DIY. As they told Apartment Therapy in this 2010 House Tour:
[The kitchen] was the first room we did and we practically gutted it. It was also the only room we did without professional help. (Perhaps that's why we still have...the ceiling and unfinished trim.) My husband and his brother put in the subway tile. We did the checkerboard floors together, painted all the cabinets, and put in the butcher-block counters. I think it really suits the style of the house.
It is definitely an eclectic, eccentric kitchen! But don't you want to sit down at that table and have a cup of tea?

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

The Federal Maritime Commission announces the appointment of Ms. Debra Zezima as its area representative in Houston, Texas.

Why did I write this? I got challenged by Andy Warren to write a bit about why I wrote something. I complained to him that he has some "mechanical" posts on this blog that just mention he wrote something with some questions, and don't really blog about why he wrote something. He challenged me to write about why I wrote something, so here I am.
I got an email from a friend with the article link that's mentioned in the editorial. The email said to read the first page and send him my response, so I promptly read all pages and sent a response back.
As I was reading, I felt quite a few emotions stirring. Frustration with some employees that have worked for me in the past, co-workers that have behaved similar to Eric in the article, and annoyance at the high pay mentioned. I typically haven't known what others are making, so I don't necessarily know if those people I found incompetent or not valuable were making more than me. I was the lowest paid person in my group when I managed a team of DBAs, but since I was the manager that was probably appropriate.
In any case, I thought Eric should be let go, probably after trying to work things out, but I tend to think it's hard to get people to change and if I had to constantly remind him and manage him to change, I'm not sure it's worth it. It's one thing to do that with someone at the bottom of your salary scale, quite another at the top.
As I wrote the editorial, I kept second guessing myself, wondering if I was being too hard, and that made me very curious to see what others would say.

It certainly seemed like a forward-thinking business proposition at the time -- take advantage of rising fuel prices and the impending green revolution by marrying gas-saving hybrid technology with a perennially popular full-size pickup truck. But although the first-generation Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid was GM's first-ever hybrid passenger vehicle when it debuted in 2005, this truck's modest "mild hybrid" technology and limited availability put a damper on its appeal. As for the second-generation model (2009-'13), it offered a more advanced "dual-mode" hybrid system, but its middling performance never really justified its high price and complexity.
The Silverado Hybrid was phased out before GM's latest truck platforms debuted for 2014, and there are currently no plans to revive it. Given its limited production numbers, finding a suitable pre-owned example could be difficult; also, the truck's special hybrid hardware may pose special maintenance challenges down the road. Still, the second-generation Silverado Hybrid offered the best overall fuel economy of any big truck at the time, including an impressive 20 mpg in city driving. If that's enough to make you want one, a used example could be a decent option at the right price.
Used Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid Models
The most recent Silverado Hybrid is the second-generation model, which was produced for the 2009-'13 model years. Thanks to dual-mode hybrid technology, its gasoline-powered 6.0-liter V8 and twin electric motors can work either separately or in tandem -- the gas engine shuts off at low speeds when it isn't needed, and it seamlessly re-engages when acceleration is called for, remaining permanently active above 29 mph. The electric motors get their juice from a 300-volt battery pack that lives under the rear seat.
Total system output is rated at 379 horsepower, while fuel economy tops out at 21 mpg combined (20 city/23 highway) with 2WD. The sophisticated transmission can act as if it has variable ratios like a continuously variable transmission (CVT), or it can switch over to four fixed ratios for better towing performance. However, the maximum tow rating of 6,100 pounds is low for a full-size truck.
Offered in two trim levels (1HY and 2HY), this Silverado Hybrid certainly didn't come cheap, but it was well-equipped even in base form. Notable standard features included 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, OnStar, Bluetooth and a CD/MP3 stereo with steering-wheel audio controls and satellite radio. The 2HY added premium touches like heated exterior mirrors with integrated turn signals, rear parking sensors, power-adjustable pedals, leather upholstery, power front bucket seats, navigation, a rearview camera and upgraded Bose audio with rear seat controls. A sunroof and a navigation system were also available.
In reviews of the second-gen Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid, we found its power plant to be a little too complex for its own good. Despite those 379 horses under the hood, our acceleration testing yielded a disappointing 0-60-mph sprint of 9.2 seconds, which even the regular Silverado's base 4.8-liter V8 might match. There are also some tangible pauses and hiccups in the power delivery. It might all be worth it if you simply must get your green-freak on and maximize fuel economy around town, but the regular V8s offer superior performance and similar highway fuel economy.
If you're shopping for a used Silverado 1500 Hybrid of this generation, there are only a few changes to keep in mind. For 2010, the engine was made compatible with E85 fuel, and the optional navigation system gained a back-up camera and a USB input. For 2012, the nav system became hard-drive-based. Overall, this was essentially the same truck from start to finish.
The first-generation "parallel hybrid" version of the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra was produced for the 2005-'07 model years. In this mild-hybrid design, the electric motor was housed within the transmission flywheel assembly and provided only engine cranking, battery charging and power for accessories. The 5.3-liter V8 automatically shut down when the truck came to a stop, and electric power restarted the engine when the brake pedal was released. Three auxiliary batteries were mounted under the rear seat to store and provide power. Several AC outlets were mounted in the bed, making this truck an attractive choice for contractors who often need to plug in electrical devices on the job. Availability was very limited, however, making this truck an increasingly unlikely find as time goes on.

Southwark council sues IBM
Pays public cash to lawyers to get it back from Big Blue
A London local authority is taking legal action against IBM over a software solution it claims is not fit for purpose.
The London Borough of Southwark has issued a writ against the company over the performance of a master data management system, developed by another company, for the cleaning up of information on several databases. It was meant to bring the data together onto one system, removing duplication and ensuring its accuracy.
A spokesperson for the council told GC News that the system did not work and has slowed its progress in updating its other systems.
"We are suing IBM over a matter concerning a software solution which we purchased through IBM and was unfortunately found not to be functionally fit for Southwark's purposes," the spokesperson said.
"We did try and work with IBM over an 18 month period to get the problems resolved. However, IBM was unable to find a resolution to the problems that did not involve further significant financial outlay on Southwark's behalf. As the product was bought using public money, we had no option but to try to reclaim the money spent from IBM, as a duty to protect public funds.
"We sincerely hope this matter will be resolved and it should be made clear that this issue does in no way reflect the normally high standard of products provided by IBM."
She added that the amount it paid IBM is confidential.
A spokesperson for IBM commented: "Claims asserted in this case have no merit and we are strongly defending the allegations made in the legal proceedings."
