I don't know when your information is from, but it seems pretty baseless. I'm geared with about 50/50% Nax 10/25 gear. I don't have mana issues. Even in long fights, if I half pay attention I will MAYBE need to pot if my fiend gets jacked or something. As long as my ghetto computer has a frame rate higher than 3, I compete with DPS classes that aren't busted and destined for nerfs. And if you aren't handicapped, you will A) move out of the fire/rockshards/cleave whatever to not get yourself killed, and B) Be using both VT and MB constantly to maximize your DPS anyway, so the replenish buff is just gravy. The only time I have ever had issues getting into raids are VOA class runs when they need a priest healer.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I am using the adhesive tags on gift bags to give guests at an upcoming wedding rehearsal dinner. We changed the color of the names to gold to match the teal and gold decorations we are using ---- so very cute! Put them on teal, gold, and white gift bags which contain fun items (champagne, nuts, water, sunscreen, Tylenol, salt water taffy, gold fish, etc. as the wedding is at the beach). The color of the tag seems to be more teal than turquoise. Once again, we so appreciate the custom design options and extremely FAST service. The stickers arrived several days before promised."
"Loved this style. We selected the grey and white version. I really liked the ability to customize text and fonts to make it more personal. We received a number of compliments. Being able to carry the theme from save the date cards to gift tags was great."
"I changed the text to: "showering Mary with love" and put on a wrapper to go around handmade soap as a favor for our shower guests. The bride and guests loved it!"
"The whole set of invitations, reply cards, accommodation cards, reception cards and ceremony cards were perfect! We matched our flowers to the cards. We had tons of all types of colors of orchids everywhere submerged in water - from the ceremony to the reception. We got soooo many fantastic comments on how our stationary matched everything else and how tasteful and beautiful everything was. We had all of our stationary printed with round corners, in the shimmery style card. We also elected to use the brown pocket"
"This product was smaller than I Imagined and I thought they would be cards, not stickers. I had envisioned writing a short note on the back. I have used them in the tissue for the gifts and also on the box..but now I still have to get some sort of card. But I really like the product and will order them again in the future. I could envision using them on a bottle of wine for a gift so when they drink the wine, the couple can remember who the wine came from."

The 2013 Winter Guide
Once the holidays are over, it's easy to view the winter season as a bleak, frigid time to curse the weather and your daily commute. But it's not all gray slush and missing mittens! Winter in New York City is the time to explore, away from the throngs of summer tourists and ubiquitous street fairs. It's the time for real New Yorkers to dig deeper into our city and see what it has to offer up. In our 2013 Winter Guide, we scoured Manhattan to find the best cold-weather picks, whether it's where to curl up with a nice spicy drink, who can fix the zipper on your down coat, or what to do with your stir-crazy kids home from school on a snow day. Lace up your boots and get out there.

We have a ton of experience helping organizations find their edge by optimizing their workforce management. Occasionally, we take all that insight and put it down on paper – whitepapers. Check out our latest.
Findings and Highlights from Beeline's 2013 European Thought Leadership Days Roadshow
The contingent labour workforce is always changing and it is important to remain informed. In order to help you stay one step ahead, we have compiled insights surrounding current trends and challenges facing procurement and human resource professionals in Europe.
Affordable Care Act
While there is no one solution to navigating the Affordable Care Act changes, it is important to understand where your organization could be at risk.
Services Procurement Management
Corporations today are increasingly looking for means to operate a leaner, tighter business by contracting the services of outsourcers and consultants.
Flexible workforce programs are incredibly information intensive. Data points that need to be tracked and analyzed include regular program metrics associated with personnel such as headcount, demographics, rate cards, contracts, supplier data needed to gauge effectiveness, cycle time (the amount of time it takes to fill a job,) and a host of financial information.
Align outsourced workers with your contingent labor program
Outsourced workers—facilities managers, security guards, IT help desk personnel, food service employees, janitors, etc.— are becoming an increasingly prominent part of the business landscape. Companies turn to outsourced workers and providers for dedicated personnel and streamlined costs in peripheral functions.
Building a Business Case
As companies are turning to Vendor Management Software (VMS) solutions in record numbers, researching, selecting and rolling out a VMS tool can be a time consuming and expensive process. With so many offerings in the marketplace, many organizations simply do not know where to start.
Workforce Analytics
The more measurable the human dimension can be throughout an employment life cycle, the more effectively workflow and productivity can be managed, and ultimately enhanced.
Workforce 2020
What will the workforce of the future look like? What will it mean to be an "employee?" Where will we go to "work?"
Workforce Categorization
More and more organizations are beginning to rely on flexible workforces as a complement to their full-time, permanent employees.

What is a GIS, you say? GIS (which stands for Geographic Information Systems) is an intelligent mapping system that allows for the collection of data using "real world" geographic coordinates. This information is useful in making maps, but it is also useful in decision making, such as natural disaster recovery, hazardous waste mitigation, environmental impact studies, epidemiology, criminology, and much more. Almost everything has a geographic component that can be mapped. GIS: "An organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data, and personnel designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information."Public Works and Assets employs GIS to analyze and display information in a multitude of ways to provide robust decision support and asset management, as well as maintenance scheduling, data modeling and capital planning.Want to know more?.....check out some of our resources:LOJIC (Louisville Jefferson County Information Consortium)DGI (KY Department of Geographic Information)ESRI (Environmental Research Systems Institute)OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium)Click here to learn more about GPS and its use at the Public Works GIS Department.Click here to see the GIS Map Collection. _____________________________________________________________Contact the GIS DepartmentUse the online form (click here) to submit your question or concern.

Feb. 9, 2012
QUEENS, N.Y. - Head men's soccer coach Dr. Dave Masur has announced that the walk-on tryouts for cleared St. John's students will be held at 7 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16.
The tryout is only for those students that attended the mandatory compliance meeting and have completed and returned all necessary paperwork to both the compliance and sports medicine departments.
Properly cleared students should report to the lobby of Carnesecca Arena with running shoes, cleats, indoor shoes and shin guards.
St. John's reached the NCAA Tournament for the 18th time in program history this past season, earning the No. 9 national seed and a first round bye.

First team NSCAA All-Region honoree Connor Lade, who signed a contract with the New York Red Bulls as a homegrown player following the season, also earned second team All-BIG EAST honors and was one of four Red Storm players to earn All-Conference honors.

- Bachelor party reviewmw99mwDined on 9/27/2014Menu had good selection and relatively good value. Nothing too special. Service was prompt and the beer was good. Did not acknowledge the bachelor even though I specified the occasion.Special Features:
- Hopefully just an off nightfoodlover218VIPDined on 9/26/2014We usually love district chophouse, but this visit wasnt reflective of the food or service we expect. First, I ordered a medium well steak. I know steak lovers scoff, but I have had plenty of juicy and delicious steaks cooked medium well. The steak came out about medium rare band wasn't rested at all. The mashed potatos were sitting in a puddle of steak juice. We hadn't ordered mashed potatos as our side. When we asked for it to be coked more, it came back dry and shriveled. We actually bagged it up and gave it away outside to a panhandler. They also over charged us on the bill. The server was good but unapologetic on the mistakes and we basically paid $70 for a salad. We usually love chophouse, but i could cook a steak better at home.
- Dependable diningHappyAnniversaryDined on 9/24/2014Having been to District Chophouse the last time we were in DC, I was expecting a nice dinner and was not disappointed. The menu has a nice selection of meat entrees as well as fish. The Atlantic salmon I ordered was cooked to perfection, well done as I requested but still moist, even succulent. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, and very friendly. We will continue to patronize the District Chophouse when ever we are in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food great.. Service not so muchJc55Dined on 9/22/2014Been to the DC Chophouse several times because the food is very good, steaks are better than good. The service was pretty lame the last time we were there. We will go back and hope to get a different waiter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedBDinVADined on 9/22/2014Those of us who ordered steak found our portions tough to cut and a bit too chewy. The one of us who ordered seafood found it flavorless and the crab meat topping refrigerator-cold. They comped her meal, but were not suitably apologetic. One of our party needed special accommodation, and despite knowing this, the table they chose for us was quite a distance from the door and made for an arduous walk.
- VeronDined on 9/20/2014I have been to this restaurant a few times in the past, and the food was great! However my latest experience was far from that. The food was okay, but not as good as I remember. The service left much to be desired. We were celebrating a birthday and I gave instructions regarding the celebration when I made the reservation. However the waiter did not initially acknowledge our occasion or even know exactly what we were celebrating. The overall experience was very disappointing.Special Features:
- Service not good. Food not goodHJonesesDined on 9/20/2014Oprah was in town and I made reservations weeks before. Made to stand in long line even though I had a reservation. After much demanding we were finally seated. Waited almost half an hour for a waiter. Had to ask for one! Food finally only to have dre burgers which we did not eat. Cornbread was cold - twice! WAitress das a smile the entire time although overworked. Restaurant was not staffed to handle the crowd. Surely they knew Oprah was at the Verizon center. Complained. Did not pay for food but tipped the waitress. Eaten there before. First bad experience. Peace.Special Features:
- JUST AWESOME!!!!!!!!!AlpieDined on 9/19/2014I love the relaxed feel of this place. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The corn bread w/ butter was amazing and my chicken w/pasta dish was fantastic. My group thought our visit was great! Service was well-timed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SpineripperDined on 9/18/2014Excellent restaurant. The food was great as always and the service top notch. A tad noisy from the bar at times, but not unbearable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Davidon9thDined on 9/18/2014Consistently Good food and drink, exceptional staffSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great SteakJulipDined on 9/17/2014The meat at this restaurant is wonderful. I've been going there for years, and the steak still surprises me with how good it is. The side dishes are limited in number, but very good. The service is almost always excellent.Special Features:
- Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/16/2014Always a space that I enjoy. The food is consistent and the service in excellence.Special Features:
- MC84Dined on 9/15/2014Great craft beer. Clean restaurant, and excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 62GmanDined on 9/13/2014The server was just OK , Two of the four meals were not correct . I ordered Tuna steak it didn't have any taste and was raw it was to come with aspearagus , it came out with a small leafy salad . One of the other meals was steak that wasn't cooked correct with baked potato and came out with mashed potatoes . The bathroom upstairs was small and dated , the bathroom downstairs smelled like a sewer and I could still smell it well after I left the bathroom . The positive was the restaurant appeared clean and well decorated .
- Great steak, beer and cornbreadFoodie78Dined on 9/13/2014Overall great dining experience. The beer samples in tasting portions are highly recommended. Relaxed pace of the food arriving made the meal more enjoyable, preparation and seasoning we're right for everything we ordered. Will definitely return to try more of the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014Good food and service. Very close to Verizon CenterSpecial Features:
- CarolynnDined on 9/12/2014The place was Very crowded early on a Friday evening and very noisy. Not a good place to go if you are looking to relax and engage in conversation. The food was fine but nothing special. The waiter was very efficient but also very brusque.
- Good and ConvenientafvaDined on 9/12/2014This was a great place for dinner. Had a simple meal of crab cakes and a baked potato, but enjoyed it. Needed to be finished with dinner by a certain time for another engagement and I was happy to see that the waitress was mindful of the time it took for our food to delivered. Recommend to anyone in need of good food and a convenient DC location.Special Features:
- Great atmosphere!NoraDined on 9/7/2014This was our fourth visit , even though we live out of town. It's a great meeting place, near American Art museum. The food, service, atmosphere are all first rate--or we wouldn't keep going back! BTW, each visit was outstanding and we had friends, family meet us there--all age groups and we all enjoyed it. This area is a great place for restaurants, tourist sites and shops!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OK ValuePnLRedmondDined on 9/6/2014The food itself was really good and our service was good too....... but with a name like District Chophouse I was expecting more of a "Mortons/Ruths Chris" feel..... but got a "Applebees/Bennigans" feel instead...... I don't want to sound like a snob, (I like Applebees and Bennigans at times). The value, food and service were good.Special Features:
- Great Food Great BeerCigarsdglinnDined on 9/5/2014I chose this restaurant really based more on sampling the beer (which I did) but the decor and food was excellent we were very impressed and like this establishment allot (not just for the beer) but the overall decor and quality of the food. We had the salt crusted prime rib and it was really good. For beers they have a great selection and one of the few to offer "cask" conditioned which happens to be a bourbon stout, (two of my favorite things in one drink; beer and bourbon).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The DistrictVetManDined on 9/3/2014My experience at the Chophouse was great as always!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Something for everyonetommydjDined on 9/1/2014We were looking for a nice place for dinner - to celebrate a significant birthday. My husband wanted steak and a fine wine list, while the 20 somethings are into craft beer. Our waiter Vince was terrific; everything was well timed and prepared perfectly. While we all opted for beef, the salmon, tuna and the daily fish special all sounded delicious. Don't miss the onion rings!
- good steakOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014Went here for the steak and was not unimpressed. Must say that I was quite happy with the overall atmosphere as well!Special Features:
- FantasticOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/27/2014I took my Mom here for her birthday before going to National Theatre for a show. Chris, our server, was fantastic, very attentive and had great recommendations. The food was excellent and service was fast. My mom and I had a wonderful time and made it to our show with plenty of time to spare.Special Features:
- Gotta go!JAF1Dined on 8/23/2014The filet and lamb chops were superb! The white cheddar mashed potatoes were also great!! Topped it off with amazing chocolate cake. All with great service, timely food, and enjoyable atmosphere. Wide range of dress from casual to evening wear.I would recommend this to a friend.
- happilyretiredhappilyretiredDined on 8/23/2014We went for brunch on a Saturday and it was not crowded, The petite filet with poached eggs, Hollandaise, asparagus and home fries was excellent! Had a beer flight as well - very interesting!Special Features:
- Lets go to chop house !GILSDined on 8/19/2014We are from Germany and we enjoyed the dinner at the chop house very much. The sirloin steak was perfect and the mood in the restaurant very agile. The service was professionell. Thanky for this nice evining in Washington DC.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not ImpressedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014Had 6 friends with us for dinner before a concert at the Verizon Center. Two had prime rib that was average, but one got the Rockfish "special" for $28. Anything but special, very small piece, still had the skin on it and the dark membrane had not even been removed. I called to complain and "Mehdi" was supposed to "do something" for my friend. (I was expecting a gift certificate or something). Never received anything or a follow up!
- Good food near the Verizon Centerluv2dineDined on 8/19/2014Enjoyed the meal. Quick service before a concert and the food was quite good. The service even better than that. I would definitely go again.Special Features:
- Pre-Event Must!WalkerDined on 8/19/2014Love the Chophouse. First time making a reservation. Normally visit before and after all Washington Capitals home games. Great beer. Friendly atmosphere. Service is always the best. Staff seem to like their jobs which makes going the experience that much better. The Chophouse will get packed at night. Normally a wait to get seated in the evening (sign of a great place). Would make a reservation if your going to an event near by. Food is top notch. Chicken Tenders at the best around but the whole menu is well worth the trip. Something on the menu for everyone. Rockfish (Striped Bass) is killer! And did I mention the beer. Brewed in-house and so fresh. Love this place. Can't say that enough. A must if your in DC. Let's go Caps!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/18/2014Amazing food and fantastic service!!! We got there early and were recommended to enjoy the last bit of happy hour then we were seated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just adequateBlakeDined on 8/18/2014Had dinner here with spouse and two children. Service was slow despite not being very crowded and the food was only so-so. Given the cost, which was close to $150 with a few glasses of unimpressive wine, there are better alternatives in the area. I would not return.
- Not impressedJtownfab6Dined on 8/17/2014Overall not impressed with the quality of the food... Waitress not knowledgable about the menu and was very vague when asked a question. Good location, suboptimal dining experience ...
- Not what i was expectingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/17/2014I've been wanting to try this place for years and we finally went this past weeekend. I've been looking for a good steakhouse in DC and District will not be that place. The quality of the meat was not impressive and it was not cooked to the way we liked it. We are not the type to send food back so just got through it. The most disappointing is probably the quality of the steak, I've had better cuts of meat at local/hole in the wall places across the country. The buffalo shrimp was very good. Other than the steak, everything else was fine. Still disappointed...
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014I thought the food was good. My only complaints are that my steak was a little under cooked. I asked for medium and it was medium rare. The bathrooms were disgusting. Overall the experience was good and my wife really enjoyed the crab cakes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/16/2014Nice selection of beers. I enjoyed the dark brews that were pretty smooth and tasty. My biggest problem was with the food and the service. I went there during Restaurant Week so the selections were extremely short. Unfortunately, they only had one steak option and I guess everyone ordered the same dishes so they ran out of certain items (baked potato) . The service was not quick enough so i ended up with a slightly warm steak that was kind of tough to cut through and the mashed potatoes tasted like they were out of a box. Our reservation was around 7-730pm and we didn't really leave until 10pm. I enjoyed the Spinach artichoke dip and the cheesecake, and most definitely the beer. Won't recommend going during Restaurant Week.
- AverageSteakDined on 8/16/2014Went as a part of restaurant week and overall disappointed by the experience. Main dishes arrived only five minutes after appetizers, sent it back to have the same steaks return after another five minutes. Waiter was excellent and reordered immediately but then ended up with a Med-well steak instead of my Med-rare order. All was resolved thanks to the great waiter but overall, will not try again.
- The steak was okOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/16/2014We ordered from the Restaurant Week menu and 3 of us ordered the NY strip for our entree. We asked to have them cooked at different temperatures and they all came out wrong. The steaks also had hardly any seasoning. However, the buffalo shrimp and wedge salad were delicious. Our waiter did the best he could, but he disnt visit our table that much nor did he refill our water glasses until we asked. He wasnt all that knowledgeable about the menu either...maybe he was new?
- Loved ItjmossDined on 8/15/2014My friend and I decided to try out this spot for DC resturaunt week. So glad we did. I had the spinach artichoke dip appetizer, NY strip and potatoes with a cheesecake for dessert. Phenomenal. Steak was cooked to perfection. I will be going back soonSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Federer beats qualifier, grabs quarterfinal berth in Rotterdam
Rotterdam, Netherlands (4E Sports) – Top seed and two-time champion Roger Federer booked a seat in the quarterfinal round after beating Dutch wild card Thiemo de Bakker, 6-3, 6-4, in just 64 minutes Friday in the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament.
Federer, who won the tournament in 2005 and 2012, will play Julien Benneteau for a spot in the semifinal.
The former world No. 1 is competing in the event for the eighth time, amassing a 23-5 record. The 24-year-old De Bakker, for his part, dropped to 2-12 against players in the top 10.
Second seed Juan Martin del Potro hit 12 aces to beat Latvian qualifier Ernests Gulbis, 7-6(5), 6-3, and set up a quarterfinal clash against Jarkko Nieminen, who defeated German qualifier Matthias Bachinger, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3, in just under two hours.
Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis continued his mastery over Richard Gasquet, 6-4, 6-4, to advance against Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria.
In Brazil, second seed and three-time champion Nicolas Almagro fired 18 aces to beat Chilean qualifier Paul Capdeville, 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-2, in the second round of the Brasil Open 2013.
World No. 15 Juan Monaco, was not as luck, as he suffered his third opening round exit of the year, losing to Italian Simone Bolelli, 7-5, 6-2, in 76 minutes.
Bolelli, who beat 2009 titlist Tommy Robredo Monday, converted four of his six break point opportunities to break a two-match losing streak against Monaco.
For his part, Carlos Berlocq needed two hours to beat eighth seed Albert Ramos 7-6(7), 6-4.
On the women's side, top seed and world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka blanked Christina McHale, 6-0, 6-0, in the third round of the Qatar Open.
Azarenka's win over McHale was the sixth time in her career she has won a match by double-bagel. She had two in 2008, one in 2009 and two more in 2011.
In the quarterfinal, Azarenka will face sixth seed Sara Errani, who beat Daniela Hantuchova, 7-5, 5-7, 6-2.
Meanwhile, fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska became the first player to hit 15 match wins on the WTA this year, beating 13th seed Ana Ivanovic, 6-1, 7-6(6) for a quarterfinal slot.
Next for Radwanska is 10th seed and good friend Caroline Wozniacki, who defeated Mona Barthel, 7-6(6), 6-3.

Silky nerves, nervous silksThursday, June 11th, 2009
The SHSYSY cells have been growing on silk fibres since 24th May 09. Today I removed the tangles of fibres with their attacehd cells and placed them into new wells with fresh media - just to see. Silky nerves, nervous silks. It's all incredibly crude but I'm just following my nose.
Mel Grant introduced me to Eric Hill who has been working with neuron and astrocyte cells extensively. He's made many spheres of neurons (known as blobs) by growing them on bacteria petri dishes, picking them up by pipette every two days so that they don't attach and changing the medium - I think. I need to get the protocol but they grow in exquisite spheres rather than on the surface of the dish. Bacteria dishes are not tissue culture treated so not expecailly attractive to cells to attach to. This technique is called something like embryo spheres, Janet has done alot of it.

Theatre St. Francis
333 Geary Street,
San Francisco,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Theatre St. Francis was opened on October 20, 1916 with Pauline Frederick in "Ashes of Ember". It was designed in an Art Nouveau style by architect N.L. Josey. A feature was the location of the screen behind the facade, so that patrons walked away from it when entering the auditorium. The more familiar St. Francis Theatre on Market Street was called the Empress Theatre at this time, and would soon be renamed Strand Theatre, becoming St. Francis Theatre in 1925, as the Theatre St. Francis here described had already closed c.1919.
It has been Lefty O'Doul's restaurant for longer than most people can remember, but a look at its upper facade reveals what is unmistakably a wonderfully theatrical-looking assortment of ornamentation. Presumably, some remnants of the theater's interior exist above and behind the present restaurant interior.
My thanks to Jack Tillmany's research for these facts.
Recent comments (view all 2 comments)
The October, 1916, issue of The Architect and Engineer of California has an item concerning what must be the Theatre St. Francis, although it calls it the St. Francis Theater. The item also names a different architect for this house than the description does. Here is the relevant part of the item:
"It is announced that plans for the big moving picture theater at Fourth and Market Streets, San Francisco, are being made by Alfred Henry Jacobs, architect of the recently completed St. Francis Theater on Geary Street. The latter theater has occasioned some favorable comment on account of certain unique features, one of which is the placing of the picture screen at the entrance end of the theater, instead of forward. The seats all face the rear, the idea being to avoid the glare of the pictures when entering the theater.The magazine might have been mistaken about Jacobs being the architect, but that doesn't seem likely as this publication was usually quite reliable, and the item was published about the same time the house opened. It's also interesting that the item reveals the St. Francis to have been a reverse theater. Perhaps evidence of the theater's original projection booth still exists at the back of the building?

Report: Amazon Kindle Fire Could Drop as Low as $169
Amazon may be releasing a new Kindle Fire 2 this fall, but the better deal could be the original Kindle, if we believe the folks over at DealNews.
If Amazon keeps the Kindle around, which would be a strategy similar to Apple's iPad 2/new iPad idea, the Kindle is likely to drop in price. DealNews says that, based on their market observations, the Kindle is likely to drop to $169, which represents the current lowest for the tablet in the market.
Compared to a new Kindle Fire that is more than likely going to follow the lead of the original Fire and Google's Nexus 7 with a $199 price point, it is uncertain that consumers will perceive a 15 percent discount on a one-year old tablet as a compelling offer. If Amazon keeps the Kindle around, $150 may be a visually and psychologically much more appealing price point that could "reimburse" buyers for the lack of a camera and other upgrades in the Kindle Fire 2.
DealNews said that Amazon has a tradition "of slashing the price of its new Kindles as they're being announced." New Kindles have launched 10 percent to 61 percent cheaper than the initial starting price of their predecessors, the service said. However, with the Kindle, we are talking about a margin and competitive pressure that is greater than the marginal loss Amazon took with its Kindle e-readers. The company will have to strike far more favorable deals to bring down the BOM of the Kindle Fire.
When introduced, the $199 Kindle Fire was estimated to have a bill of materials of $201.70, excluding R&D, marketing and shipping cost.

4Onus , July 24, 2012 8:04 PM"As low as" makes me think something like $49-$69. $169 is not exactly "low," especially to anyone watching his or her budget these days.
1teh_chem , July 24, 2012 8:07 PMI respect the Kindle Fire for what it's trying to achieve, but even after using it hands-on after my gf got it, contrasted with a "full" Android device, it's frustratingly-limited. But if you just want a cheap portable media player and don't insist on being able to carry your entire video library around with you, this little thing is fun (though it's unfortunate to lack physical volume buttons).
To be honest, this small reduction in price isn't all that impressive, but is probably announced just to get a few more people buying the OG Fire and get rid of the inventory before the next gen devices come out.
1killerclick , July 24, 2012 8:29 PMNot low enough, especially if you're not really interested in Amazon content.
2kawininjazx , July 24, 2012 8:44 PMKindle fire 1 should be $150 or less, KF2 will be $199.
0Anonymous , July 24, 2012 8:58 PMWhat if we have a walkie talkie which has all the functionalities in phones and tablets?
It is a good walkie talkie.
1memadmax , July 24, 2012 8:58 PMI love my kindle fire. I have had it for only a couple of months now but it has seen alot more use and abuse than alot of my other portable devices like my iPad for example, which only collects dust now >_> Actually, I take that back, my iPad sees some use from my little kids because they don't know any better ^.^
-1gsacks , July 24, 2012 9:04 PMNot interested in the original Fire. I want to see how the new one stacks up to Google's offering. Though I'll probably still end up with an iPad also because of a work project.
0Anonymous , July 24, 2012 10:50 PMIt should be $49. It's a dead device (except for Amazon'ers which should cost no more than 99 for them), killed by Nexus 7.
0belardo , July 25, 2012 12:14 AMI've handled the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 side by side in a store... the Fire is heavy and bulky, even feel more bulky than my iPad1. I understand the Fire's position... but I flat out didn't care for its interface. The Nexus7 does have a WOW factor to it... the GUI is smooth and slick.
ICE has surpassed iOS in my book. But I'd prefer a 4:3 tablet... if there are no Android takers on that... then an iPad4 is most likely in my future.
0thepieman , July 25, 2012 6:36 AMstill not worth it
i dont think amazon should be in the hardware market at all. they're better off focusing on developing software for other, established platforms which aid in the consumption of their services (media, shopping, etc.) ironically enough the fire was developed for just this purpose, but there are better options for consuming amazon's services.
0eddieroolz , July 25, 2012 2:18 PMStill no point if not offered outside of the states.
0GreaseMonkey_62 , July 25, 2012 3:26 PMDon't care. Even if the original Fire is 50 bucks I'd still want to get a Nexus 7 over it. The Nexus 7 pretty much makes other 7 inch tablets paperweights in comparision.
0chewy1963 , July 25, 2012 3:47 PMQuote - "Report: Amazon Kindle Fire Could Drop as Low as $169"
Well if you want to put it that way, the Amazon Kindle Fire COULD drop as low as $1... Not likely but it COULD happen.
0Anonymous , July 25, 2012 6:04 PMI agree with what most of you say about the device. It can be limited if you want to do some crazy stuff with your tablet. For basic tasks like watching movies, reading books, or surfing the web it is excellent. It packs just enough punch to handle games well too. The review at this tech site spells out more than enough reasons to pick it up and the new price point should be enough to push many hesitant buyers over the fence.
0Anonymous , July 27, 2012 5:22 PMDont hate me but i found the BB playbook much better,even whith the mediocre apps availability....

Since the common predictions over the last two months have been that Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is going to have a big year in 2010, some of our GrokDotCom readers have expressed interest in how to evaluate the different CRO service providers out there.
Despite an obvious bias, I still think I can offer some objective talking points, questions to ask, and things to think about if you're going to pursue hiring help to optimize your conversion rate. But before we go there…
Full Disclosure: FutureNow, Inc., the publishers of this blog, are in the business of optimizing conversion rates. There, I said it. And now you know
When you start thinking about optimizing your website's conversion rate, the first thing you should think about is: Can I do it myself? Do I want to do it myself? This is a pretty rare DIY attitude where someone has the time and inclination to take on all the extra work CRO entails, as well as having to learn quite a broad new skillset (psychology, design, testing methodology, etc.).
Next, you should think about whether this type of CRO effort should be handled in-house or with outside help. So ask yourself if you have the right skill sets in your company already. If so, do they have the bandwidth to add "optimization" to their job responsibilities? Do they want to work on optimization? If you decide to bring optimization into a larger, corporate culture, where in the organization will it live? Who will be stakeholders?
If you decide to handle things in-house, there are more and more resources out there to improve a human resource's optimization skillset: training courses, seminars, books, blogs (like the one you're reading), etc. Similar to how SEO started as a mostly "outside consultant" skill set, but has been moving more and more "in-house" over the past 5 years, I think CRO will follow a similar path. It's still pretty early to have this specialized skillset in-house, but as more people become practitioners, more and more of them will go in-house at the larger companies that can offer big paychecks and stability.
Assuming you decide to hire outside help, here's a list of 20 questions to ask about, or directly to, the companies you evaluate. Note that the actual answers may not be as important to how the questions are handled:
1. How fast can we be up and running, making optimizations?
2. What are your competitive advantages?
3. How long have you been in the Conversion Rate Optimization business? Do you also work in other areas?
4. What are your qualifications, training, and experience?
5. How can you add value to my existing team?
6. How customer-centric is your service? Do you really get to know my target prospects? How?
7. How do I know which offering is best for my business goals?
8. What's it like working with you? Do you do 1-time major projects, or smaller incremental optimizations?
9. Who are some of your other clients?
10. Who will I be working with on a regular basis?
11. Do your clients have business models comparable to mine?
12. How do you work with other service providers like design agencies, SEOs, ad agencies, etc.?
13. What are your core business values?
14. How does technology play into your approach? Are you a "platform" I need to be on?
15. Can I see a sample contract?
16. What are your cancellation policies?
17. What process or methodology do you use? Is it documented?
18. What would the process look like after I signed with you?
19. How data-driven is your approach? What about so-called "best practices"?
20. Why should I go with you over your competitors, i.e. what's your Unique Value Proposition?
Like this list? We'd love it if you'd share it with anyone who'd find it relevant!
This is a great list for me to use as a new SEO company. It shows me the areas where I need to develop my skills and prepares me for likely questions from potential customers.
I agree. Excellent checklist. Just getting into SEO myself and this list will be invaluable
This is a very useful and comprehensive list for clients to evaluate Service Level Agreements and the professionalism of SEO and CRO service providers. I would add just one more question: are you an Authorised Google Consultant?
@Web Search Workshop: yes, good question to ask. Beyond that, if the agency is a certified partner, you can ask how many of the employees have individual certifications now…
Great post, I am learning to do SEO and many of the available literatures are confusing and sometimes conflicting, the 20 questions show me more ideas.
Do you all have your clients reference these questions when they are looking to you for consultation? We recently did a writeup of several seo questions and funny enough our prospects actually ask us these when going through the initial stages of conversation!
Love the disclaimer – honesty counts for something, right?
Good points and things to look for. This can be a snake oil industry, but a true optimiser can really help things take off in ways not imagined.
In the meantime, if you can't all out afford a true service, send an email out to 30 friends asking them to use your site, and give feedback.
What a useful question lists it will help me since I'm a newbie. thx a bunch
Good article, I'll share this one at Digg.
This article has widened my perspective on looking for and hiring outside help. It showed me things that I need to explore further. This is really helpful. Will be retweeting this.
[...] small details Lesson #8: Use Google's new boldfacing algorithm to your competitor's advantage Future Now: 20 Questions to Ask When Evaluating Optimization Services Assuming you decide to hire outside help, here's a list of 20 questions to ask about, or directly [...]
I'm hearing more and more about CRO. Not only are these good questions for customers to ask, they're good to ask internally as well to make sure we're delivering quality work to our customers.
As a client I know it is very important to ask lots of good questions, good advice in the article with valuable questions. I would like to add 2 more questions that were particularly helpful for us:
What do you think of our current performance?
What kind of results are reasonable to expect?
It would also be good to find these in other ways than asking questions.
uh. i really don't know that some points are crucial are for a real good conversion. thx dude!
Ideas like these are very impressive. But some of questions are excellent but some of not. At the end of article I say good.
not one of your best posts, but everyone has a bad day.
Thanks for the info. I have been doing some research in hiring an SEO firm and I think this will help me a great deal.
Oh well. I wish I would have seen this list about 18 months ago. I learned but it cost me a few bucks. Number 11 was what got me. They had plenty of experience but rarely ventured into my field. And the results showed.
Also be sure to Google the company offering the service and the people involved, you can avoid a lot of surprises that way.
Forming aspects into questions is a good way to do a evaluating by oneself! Thanks, gives me some good impulses.
Good article, I'll share this one at Digg.
I have extensive experience advising ecommerce stores. Optimization is an advanced skill that few already possess. I strongly recommend that business owners focus on their core business and hire exceptional consultants as needed.
The quality of optimization work is easily proven by measuring the increase in your conversion rate.
No offense to those wise enough to be working on learning these skills is intended; however, if a business has the income to afford the very best what they spend will be recouped many times over.
Bryan Eisenberg and the people at GrokDotCom are highly respected by their peers (which is obvious by the comments from the many here who seek to learn what they know).
I have no doubt that they can share references and case studies showing enormous improvements they have made for specific ecommerce clients.
They would be my first choice of the usability experts for optimization testing and increasing conversions. There are only two others I can even think of who might be as capable and talented.
Just in case anyone wonders, I have no personal or business connection to GrokDotCom or Bryan Eisenberg. I recognize their strong skills and recommend them based on their writing and what they have accomplished for others.
I never thought there could be so many questions to ask.Nice list.
That's a great list but certainly not exhaustive.
I also believe that people should learn to do things for their web presence in house. It's not hugely difficult with the right tools and can save a lot of money too.
Good points and things to look for. This can be a snake oil industry, but a true optimiser can really help things take off in ways not imagined.

The 20 questions are really good to choose the best CRO service providers by evaluation.
As a DIY se optimizer of my own sites, this list will help me determine my strengths and weaknesses for my own sites. Additionally, while evaluating myself I will know when it it time to hire someone to do the work for me.
Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts, it's great to read your stories and see some similar experiences from the past decade!
Can I do it myself is usually the one I answer yes to. Especially when it comes to optimization and SEO. Just put in the hours and elbow grease and you will get it done. No sense in spending the marginal income you make early for it.
It's hard to do SEO. If all question are answered, this mean that we have an effective way to do this.
#20 is usually the best. It tells you everything you need to know about them, their attitude, their value, and their confidence.
This is my first time i visit here. I found so many entertaining stuff in your blog, especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! Keep up the excellent work.
Great list,these questions definitely help one to find a better team to hire.20 questions i guess should be more than enough.
@ Credit Cards
Well as for the discussions between writers, it is second to none. But don't let the comments fool you, many people are here just to get links and provide very little in the way of intelligent and relevent comments.
I learned SEO by originally hiring a freelance SEO for a website I made, and then reading up on SEO and realising I could actually do a better job than he did. I wish I'd found this list of questions back then though, could have saved myself some money! Thanks
thanks for share. I am learning to do SEO and many of the available literatures are confusing and sometimes conflicting

One can´t compare eggs and tomatoes. First you must generate visitors then comes CRO into the game and have to transform visitors into customers.
SEO is an important task without much "secret weapons". CRO is more important than SEO as you have to squeeze the most of the given amount of visitors.
If you are considering SEO from a company that you cannot find for any of the main industry terms they should rank for, this should raise a red flag. Chances are their level of expertise is not going to aid your quest if they imply that their clients rankings are the most important. A true SEO company should be able to aid their clients as well as service and evolve their own organic rankings simultaneously. Essentially, they are their own first client, so the proof is in the pudding so to speak.
Keep up discussing such a nice topic like this.
Of course you can only get value from an established Company if they rank on top position for their relevant keywords. Therefore the checklist is absolutely neccessary.
Hello , My humble opinion: Without a doubt, that was the humblest article I've read on this subject. Beautiful. You've done the subject justice. Thank you.
Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information
A site I have has been getting some decent traffic lately but unfortunately hasn't been converting well. I don't have the time to put into it so I've been considering hiring someone. These questions should help me.
I´m using a question sheet very similar to yours. It was very helpful ro hire the right freelancer or Company.
The methodology employed must be quantifiable, trackable and recorded. This is most important to prevent you from being ripped off. Firstly on-site optimization needs addressing, and secondly off-site optimization where you build links to your site as a primary means of getting search engine rankings for your keywords.
I also ask these questions to the service providers:
What report patters, methods, benchmarks do you follow to measure performance/conversions and how often will you send me the report? Also, depending on the campaign, I also ask for regular review meetings.
At the start of this article about Conversion Rate Optimisation, Brendan comments about 2010 beings a big year for CRO; considering how much a business's ROI can increase, I find it amazing that there isn't more focus on Conversion Rate Optimisation. It's now past the halfway mark in 2010 and there do seem to be more CRO artilces around, the more the merrier. Great list of questions by the way Brendan.
I sould ask for reports, and visit recent customers websites, ask them about the services for the design or website optimisation they have performed.
I think one more question which a client should ask for is to show some of their recent work. A case study from a similar business model would give an idea how that company has improved the conversion rate.

It's the Tigers vs. the Rays tonight at Comerica Park in the opener of a 3-game series after both teams were idle on Monday. Detroit has dropped five of its last six games while Tampa Bay arrives in Motown leading the Majors in scoring since the middle of last month averaging just over six runs a game while winning 11 of 16. The Tigers remain on top of the American League Central and are one full game ahead of the second place Cleveland Indians after Cleveland lost last night to the Yankees in New York. The Tigers and Indians open a 3-game set in Detroit Friday night.
The slumping White Sox dropped their seventh in-a row last night, losing 4-to-2 at Seattle. And it was a travel day Monday for the Cubs, who are out west for a short 2-game series beginning tonight against the Angels.

In New York City, more African-American unborn babies were aborted than those born in 2012, Townhall.com reported today based on statistics released by the city. In 2012, there were 31,328 African-American unborn babies aborted while 24,758 African-American unborn babies were born in the city during 2012. There were a total of 73,815 abortions in New York City in 2012, of those, 42.4 of them were African-American unborn babies.
The data was reported by the Summary of Vital Statistics 2012 The City of New York, Pregnancy Outcomes released by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The report outlined the numbers as follows:
The numbers show that in 2012, there were 31,328 induced terminations (abortions) among non-Hispanic black women in New York City. That same year, there were 24,758 live births for non-Hispanic black women in New York City. There were 6,570 more abortions than live births of black children.
In total, there were 73,815 abortions, which means the 31,328 black babies aborted comprised 42.4% of the total abortions.
Townhall.com, via the above linked story written by Cortney O'Brien, sees the trend leading to perhaps higher abortion rates in New York City.
O'Brien writes, "Unfortunately, the election of Mayor Bill de Blasio is not likely to help stem this trend. The staunchly pro-abortion Democrat has pledged to open more abortion clinics and has referred to pro-life pregnancy centers as 'shams.'"
Most Democrat candidates for public office are stridently consistent in their support for "abortion rights" and oppose most if not all regulations to make the procedure safer and less performed. Most Democrats are strong supporters of public funding of Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider.
Planned Parenthood was found by Margaret Sanger, who also advocated Eugenics, a belief that those who were deemed "inferior" should be aborted to decrease the population of such "unfit" human beings. Typically, supporters of Eugenics found African-Americans, immigrants, and other minorities to be unfit.
Sanger's vision appears to be reality in New York City where almost 56 percent of all unborn babies aborted are African-American, and they make up more than 42 percent of all the unborn babies abortion in New York City.

Iraq Veterans File Suit Against KBR
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
As we approach another 4th of July weekend, there are news stories about veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan who are suffering terrible diseases because of exposure to "burn pits." These burn pits are not some fiendish enemy weapon. They are the creation of contractors hired to "support the troops," paid with American taxpayer dollars.
Massive open-air pits in Iraq and Afghanistan are used to incinerate medical waste, including human body parts; garbage, plastics; lithium batteries; unexploded ordnance; miscellaneous hardware; gas cans; entire humvees; and building rubble, including asbestos insulation. The burn pits generate black, toxic smoke breathed daily by military men and women serving in the area.
Katie Connolly reports for Newsweek that about 200 veterans have joined in a lawsuit against KBR, Inc. KBR is the former Kellogg Brown & Root, at one time a subsidiary of Halliburton, of which former Vice President Dick Cheney was once CEO. KBR employs more American private contractors and holds a larger contract with the U.S. government than does any other firm in Iraq, according to Wikipedia. By October 2003, seven months after the beginning of the military action in Iraq, KBR's bill to taxpayers had already reached $1.6 billion. There was no readily available tally of the total value of contracts with KBR since.

It feels like a lifetime ago when the pretty Latin boys rushed the American music scene in the late '90's. Most ended up as one hit wonders like Lou Bega (you know, the "a lil' bit of Monica in my life! - blah, blah) and legendary rump-shaker Ricky Martin. By 2001, the Latin explosion was just a fizzle, but that year was a peak in Enrique Iglesias' career with his second English album, Escape selling nine million worldwide. By 2003, his next English album, Seven (7), was considered a commercial flop.
On June 12th the Grammy-winning Latin-pop sensation is returning with his third English CD, Insomniac. The first single Do You Know? (The Ping Pong song) peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 and there are high expectations for the new album. While Insomniac isn't a complete snoozer, there are moments of heavy narcolepsy...somebody give me a NoDoz!
Insomniac starts off incredibly doubtful. The first half is filled with a hectic confusion of pop/Latin/hip-hop that leads one to believe he is being pressured to appeal to a "younger crowd" so he choked out meaningless duds. At times it works in the first song "Ring My Bells", a mid-uptempo track that isn't outstanding, but enjoyable due to Enrique's smooth vocal and the not too overproduced production. A nice club remix might make this song a hit.
"Push" is Enrique's weak attempt at hip-hop with a duet from D-list rapper Lil' Wayne. Enrique sings, "Push push back upon it (girl) / Go ahead lay it on it" in the chorus with lackluster beats and Lil' Wayne's grating babbles. Unlikely collaborations sometimes work, but only when it's at least a little believable. I highly doubt 32 year-old Enrique ever listens to Lil' Wayne and it is even more unlikely Lil' Wayne even knows a name of an Enrique Iglesias song. What's next, Ricky Martin doing a posthumous duet with Ole' Dirty Bastard?
More snoozers continue and sometimes get laughable like in the yawner, "On Top of You", which sounds like the title of an early 1990's gay porn that hasn't been transferred to DVD. Enrique sings, "Baby, you're going to love what I do when I'm on top of you." Really, Enrique? I guess after all those, as he said, "hurtful" 2005 rumors about his tiny penis and supposedly starting his own "small condom" line, is a song like that is necessary?
Overall, the first half of the CD is tragically uninspiring with wispy vocals and music that resembles sound affects for an early '80's Atari video game.
By the second half Enrique finally falls into his rhythm with a string of interesting and ambitious songs like "Little Girl", "Stay Here Tonight" and "Sweet Isabel". He closes with Spanish versions of the duds from the first half, which are actually more enjoyable in Spanish...and I don't even know Spanish! The second half is more Latin-based and seems to be his musical comfort zone rather than forced, stinky pop. Thankfully, by the last note Enrique proves he is more of an artist than a pop tart.
While every artist wants to appeal to "younger audiences" I hope the narcolepsy feel of the first half of the CD won't ruin the powerful, up all night journey of the second half. It's hard to say if this will be Enrique's comeback CD... but it is hard to resist a hot Latin man who has no problem singing live on stage to the gays - click here for the link!

Good Questions: How to clean rust off chrome?
TT writes:
Hi AT,
I recently bought these three Heywood Wakefield HeyWoodite Solid Plastic chairs for $25 from craigslist. They are surprisingly comfortable and will look great as dining chairs. How do I remove the rust and make the legs shiny again? I also want to replace the feet, but found no resources when I searched the Internet. Any info on these chairs would be great as well (I only know they were student chairs.)

Hi TT,
Depending on the severity of the rusting, it's not that difficult to remove rust from chrome. We've achieved great results simply by using some fine grade steel wool, and perhaps a little chrome cleaner. We've also heard that aluminum foil strangely works well, although we've never actually tried it. In regards to replacement feet, that might be a bit more difficult. One idea may be to contact a Heywood Wakefield specialist, such as Woody's Antiques, in Orange. Does anyone have any additional resources or tips for TT?

This was on an episode of Mythbusters. They found that aluminum foil & Coca-Cola will take rust off better than other commercial products.
It's true that aluminum foil works on chrome. I use a little bit of water, and the shiny side of the aluminum foil to polish (it doesn't matter too much which side of the foil you use, but the shiny side is smoother so there's more surface area touching the chrome).
I found this tip as a child from a 70s-looking book called "Betty's Useful Household Hints" or something like that, and thought it was pretty cool.
Anyways, based on what I've learned in college chemistry, I think this method works since Chromium is more electronegative than Aluminum and will 'steal' electrons from Aluminum, thus partly reversing the rusting/oxidation process. Coke helps too, since it's a reducing agent (opposite of oxidation/rust).
Correct me if I'm wrong, scientists.
Probably more info than you wanted, huh?
Thought I was going to be unique in the water and aluminum answer! I learned it from Lynette Jennings years ago.
I once used Easy Off to get the rust off a really rusted 50's cart I got at a garage sale. It's pretty nasty stuff, but it worked.
wow, i never knew about the aluminum foil trick! how cool...
im a collector of 70's mopeds and they always have rusty chrome! i usually get this pink gel goop from an auto parts store (Kragen) and use that with a plastic scrubber. that or SOS pads with the cleaner contained in the pads works really well.
I read a tutorial on digsmagazine.com, she didn't want to use sticky coke, so used aluminum foil and vinegar with great success.
