The Benefits Of Using Credit Card Comparison Sites
If you're like me, you probably have had the same credit card or cards in your wallet or purse for the past 4 or 5 years now. Yes, I've thought about investigating the other cards that are out there, just like you may have. But the prospect of going on four or five different card sites and writing down the features and benefits of each one on a piece of scrap paper and then trying to compare them in an intelligent way just seemed too daunting a task. So I sat contentedly with my card, thinking-

How to develop a career without changing companies
When you've been at a company for a number of years it's easy to get into something of a routine, and not everyone likes the metronomic feel that can have. Some like having variety in their working lives and the opportunity to progress and develop, earning themselves promotions and pay rises along the way. However, that isn't always the case and people can be brought in to fill roles above them or there may even be colleagues with less experience who are given the promotions and opportunities.

Legends & Romances of Brittany
Legends & Romances of Brittany
As regards the folk-tales proper, by which I mean stories collected from the peasantry, I have made a selection from the works of Gaidoz, Sébillot, and Luzel. In no sense are these translations; they are rather adaptations. The profound inequality between Breton folk-tales is, of course, very marked in a collection of any magnitude, but as this volume is not intended to be exhaustive I have had no difficulty in selecting material of real interest.
Book Excerpt
Dol were renowned bee-farmers, as we learn from an anecdote told by Count Montalembert in his Moines d'Occident. One day when St Samson of Dol, and St Germain, Bishop of Paris, were conversing on the respective merits of their monasteries, St Samson said that his monks were such good and careful preservers of their bees that, besides the honey which the bees yielded in abundance, they furnished more wax than was used in the churches for candles during the year, but that the climate not being suitable for the growth of vines, there was great scarcity of wine. Upon hearing this St Germain replied: "We, on the contrary, produce more wine than we can consume, but we have to buy wax; so, if you will furnish us with wax, we will give you a tenth of our wine." Samson accepted this offer, and the mutual arrangement was continued during the lives of the two saints.
Two British kingdoms were formed in Armorica--Domnonia and Cornubia. The first embraced the Côtes-du-Nord and Finistère north

The first time you hung out with them was a nightmare. Whether it's because they have a strong personality or you were too immature, you swore them off forever after that first night. Flash forward a few years and they're a staple of any night on the town. It might be a quick greeting at the bar or a long conversation at the pre-game but either way you're always glad to see them now that you know how to handle them.
Light Beer
There was nobody cooler when you were fifteen. You couldn't believe someone out of high school would want to hang out with you, even if it was in the middle of the woods or an abandoned building. You couldn't wait until Monday to tell your classmates all the crazy shenanigans the two of you got up to over the weekend, although they never seemed as impressed as you thought they'd be. Your parents flipped when they found out the two of you were hanging out but they were powerless to stop it once you went to college. Your week revolved around their visits and you marveled at how easy it was for them to come every weekend. It wasn't too long after turning 21, however, that they started to seem trashy and kind of pathetic. Now you just feel embarrassed for how great you thought they were and generally avoid them at parties, even if they are tearing it up at beer pong.
You're pretty selective with how you spend your time with them. Your friends get annoyed when you bring them to the bar and you're always nervous they're going to say the wrong thing around your family, but there's no one else you'd rather have a lazy day with. They have every video game console going back to SNES and the best DVD collection you've ever seen. Watching a movie with them is like listening to live director's commentary full of great trivia and hidden meanings you didn't catch before. You feel a little guilty that you only call them when you want to stay home and slum it, but they're so easy-going they really couldn't care less.
Your excitement to see them again immediately turns to regret when they start "joking" about beating up your ex's new flame or how funny it'd be to break the mirror in the bathroom. You have yet to spend an evening with them where you didn't spend the whole night convinced you were going to jail. You know they're a horrible influence on you but you always feel cool and confident with them. The day after is spent wondering why you keep doing this to yourself as you check your bank statement to see how much money the night cost you.
You always go for long periods of time without seeing them and when you do eventually get together you're both always super happy to see each other. You keep grinning and talking about how much you've missed them and how long it's been and how much you love them, but eventually it wears off and you start to remember why you stayed away so long the last time. The two of you could not run in more opposite circles. They pretty much exclusively frequent the kinds of bars you hate and aren't interested in going somewhere you want to. They don't seem to have any interest in growing up anytime soon and their new friends are pretty much the same, making you feel like the only adult in a nursery. Unfortunately, the real thing pales in comparison to your memories and stories of them.
There's nothing offensive or overbearing about them, to the point where you've been at parties where you didn't know they were there until someone told you later. Perfectly plain in every possible way, they are forgettable to the point that you can go months without thinking of them and only getting a text reminds you they exist. You don't really like them but you don't dislike them either. You would never hang out with them one-on-one, always needing a buffer to keep the conversation going.
Craft Beer
You didn't really get to know them until late in college. You would occasionally see them at parties freshman/sophomore year but you were always too busy doing hand stands with Light Beer. Your older friends swore by them but they were just so weird when you tried talking to them, using ten cent words and talking about their travels in Europe. Now you realize what you were missing out on all along. You could easily get dinner with them four nights in a row and then spend the weekend with them at the lake, discovering some new side to their personality with every conversation. You feel a little pride when you tell people they are your friend and instantly bond with strangers who already know them.

Our Latest Thinking
There is no Alternative: SWIFT as Infrastructure Intermediary in Global Financial Markets
– Sabine Dörry, Gary Robinson and Ben Derudder –
A decade on from the financial crisis, it has become common practice to look back on what has happened since. Much of the focus has been on the regulatory response towards systemically important financial institutions who are too-big-to-fail. However, another group of systemically important actors has received less attention: financial markets infrastructure (FMI).
Commonly referred to as the financial "plumbing", FMI is the backbone of the global financial system, yet to-date has received little attention from financial geographers. It comprises functions and services such as clearinghouses and securities depositories as well as processes and systems for payments, clearing and settlement. In our paper, we focus on the 'mundane' yet highly profitable and strategically important area of payments. In so doing, we zoom in on a singular and crucially important actor, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT).

As I write, poets, performers and artists sit in prisons…
"As I write, poets, performers and artists sit in prisons and under house arrest across the globe (as a visit to Amnesty International will inform), because they encourage society to think. Art is as necessary in a democracy, as food and water, if there is to be quality of life. Quality of life comes from knowing one has the power to change, contribute, be heard and to hear why things are as they are or how they could be within our communities."

'History Boys' Earns All A's
Monday, April 24, 2006
NEW YORK -- May the marvelous "The History Boys" achieve a long and happy life on Broadway. May it be fruitful and multiply. May its tills fill to overflowing, its matinees sell out on beautiful spring days, and its cast spend a night at my house.
You're prone to swoon a bit embarrassingly when a play is as bracingly smart as the one that opened last night at the Broadhurst Theatre. Playwright Alan Bennett has pulled off that rarest of feats, a comedy of ideas both devilishly entertaining and true to the heart.
"The History Boys" may take place an ocean away and a generation ago: It's the mid-1980s in an all-male secondary school in the north of England. And some of the more arcane educational terminology will fall oddly on untrained American ears: "A-levels" (crucial exams) and "league tables" (schools' test-result rankings) are among the Britishisms invoked over the course of the play. But you need not be afflicted by Anglophilia nor well-versed in English pedagogy to find a comfortable seat in this world. Bennett conjures with an affectionate contrariness -- and wit worthy of Wilde -- the pleasures peculiar, paradoxical and even profane, in pushing and pulling bright young men toward their destinies.
With the assistance of director Nicholas Hytner and a peerless cast imported from London, Bennett presents a slice of provincial high school life of 20 years ago as a mirror on fundamental shifts in the English approach to intellectual and material success. The divergent threads are embodied by a pair of teachers: Hector, a free-thinker, a lover of learning for learning's sake, and Irwin, his younger rival, a pragmatist whose most potent tool is coaching students to bamboozle their way into the elite universities by telling entrance examiners exactly what they want to hear.
As the incorrigible Hector, an intellectual purist, careless about satisfying academic requirements and oblivious to boundaries in or out of the class, Richard Griffiths is delivering one of those remarkable performances that render actor and character indivisible. You'll recognize him from the "Harry Potter" movies, in which he plays Harry's miserable Uncle Vernon. (A smaller contingent will recall him with more fondness for his turn as the hilariously lascivious Monty in the 1987 cult-film comedy "Withnail and I.")
Here, as in "Withnail," Griffiths portrays a man of not-so-hidden appetites. It is a measure of the subtlety of "The History Boys" that Hector's predilection for 16-year-old boys -- whom he gropes during the motorcycle rides home that he offers to the better-looking ones -- does not automatically demonize him. The boys themselves treat these clumsy episodes as laughable, and they seem to allow them to continue out of pity for their teacher.
Hector is no Mr. Chips, but he earns the boys' loyalty for his own fealty to an anarchic teaching style that allows his students to sate their curiosities. In one very funny scene, the boys practice conversational French by casting themselves in an impromptu skit about a Parisian whorehouse. The eight young actors portraying Hector's students all are terrific, and three are positively spiffing: James Corden, as Timms, the lumpy class clown; Dominic Cooper, who plays Dakin, the school's incipient Casanova; and Samuel Barnett, in the pivotal role of Posner, who, because he is short, gay, Jewish and from -- inside joke here -- Sheffield, believes himself doomed.
The boys, from middle-class families, are cutups, but also the school's best hopes for admission to those citadels of privilege, Oxford and Cambridge. The play, set during the administration of Margaret Thatcher, suggests that a new emphasis in Britain on American-style personal initiative has filtered down to the government-run schools. In "The History Boys" the headmaster (Clive Merrison, in a portrayal a bit too redolent of sitcom-foppishness) is determined that the boys get accepted, and so hires the upstart Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore) to teach them to work the system as calculatedly as they can.
Bennett neither wholeheartedly endorses Hector's approach, nor condemns Irwin's. Both exhibit prominent blind spots when it comes to their own foibles. A third teacher, played by the superb Frances de la Tour, as a long-suffering academic fully and humanely schooled in life's inequities, is a believer in hard-and-fast rules, of preparing students with cold historical facts. Subjected to this substantive variety, the pupils retain a special affection, unsurprisingly, for Hector. It is he who nurtures their singularity. In Posner, for example, it's expressed as musicality: He's given the evening's most affecting moment, a glowing rendition of "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" from Rodgers and Hart's "Pal Joey."
The vigorous pace of adolescence, meanwhile, is reflected in videos flashed during scene changes on a screen that fills the wall behind Bob Crowley's set of institutional gray walls and rows of fluorescent fixtures. The black and white videos, put together by Ben Taylor, evoke the youthful energy and gritty realism of 1960s movies by Tony Richardson.
That sort of energy courses through Bennett's play. At several points in the story, the boys conduct a game in which they reenact melodramatic scenes from famous tear-jerkers of the past, and the teachers must name the movie. The joy for the students is all in the taking on of exotic roles. And on this playful level, at least, the fallible teachers of "The History Boys" never get it wrong.
The History Boys, by Alan Bennett. Directed by Nicholas Hytner. Sets and costumes, Bob Crowley; lighting, Mark Henderson; music, Richard Sisson; video, Ben Taylor; sound, Colin Pink. With Clive Merrison, Andrew Knott, Russell Tovey, Jamie Parker. About 2½ hours. At Broadhurst Theatre, 235 W. 44th St., New York. Call 212-239-6200 or visit http:/

I've been frequenting a local open mic on Thursday nights for the raucous affair known as Open Mic Stand Up Comedy. It ain't much so don't go clearing your calendars. Just a bunch of girls talking about their vaginas, guys talking about their dicks, and black people talking about white people; the standard, predictable, underhandedly-pitched topics when you're playing in the minor leagues of stand-up comedy I guess.
One observation I've made is that most black comics at some point start to riff on white people, but NEVER vice versa. The black comic gets on stage and within 30 seconds he's told 7 jokes about "white people bein' all like ________" while every white in the crowd claps & cackles like some glue-huffing cartoons. All of them. Nervously laughing at jokes made at their own expense …to not laugh would be somehow racist perhaps?
Not quite. It's far simpler than that folks… it's because caucasians think every black person can kick the shit out of them.
It's true. 100% of caucasians surveyed would say a black Steven Hawking could probably kick the shit out of a white Shaquille O'Neil, guaranteed. I think it's a common misconception lumped in with the psychology of white guilt. This idea must've gained traction in the early days of 1950's basketball, when white dudes ran back and forth falling all over the court like they were playing on ice. When every shot was a desperate jump shot directly under the basket, hitting the rim and causing the ball to ricochet back at their stupid heads. Back then, white basketball players had slightly more athletic ability than the clarinet section of the marching band. 4 quarters of this nonsense. Then along comes the black guy. An actual athlete who can miraculously run up the court without tripping over his clumsy white teammates OR his fucking shoelaces and still manage to lay up a nice fluid basket. Miracle!

When purchasing stocks, you are essentially buying the right to receive a share of a company's income. But the income of some companies sells in the stock market for much less than it does for others. The measure used to compare companies by how much investors must pay for each dollar of income is called the Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio. A company with good growth prospects such as Google (GOOG) trades for a relatively high P/E of 30, meaning the market value of Google's stock is such that one has to pay $30 for every $1 of income that Google earns.
Studies have repeatedly found that over the long term, stocks with low P/E's tend to outperform their high P/E counterparts. There are a few theories for why this might be so, one being that investors overpay for stocks deemed to have good growth potential. Another is that low P/E stocks offer investors plenty in the way of upside (since when market sentiment shifts, P/E's for low P/E stocks may expand, while P/E's for high P/E stocks can't go much higher) while high P/E stocks offer plenty of downside for the same reason.
Even the same company can have P/E levels that vary over time, as market sentiment constantly shifts. For example, consider the historical P/E level of Coke (KO):
Clearly, investors who purchased Coke stock in the early 80s were able to buy Coke's earnings at a good price (the P/E was less than 10) and profited handsomely as the P/E expanded in subsequent years.
This pattern is a familiar one. Plenty of worthy companies go through periods where investors can purchase them at good prices relative to their earnings. We've seen similar charts with respect to the Home Depot, Microsoft, and Walgreens, all of whom appear to be currently trading at low P/E levels relative to their histories.
By identifying companies trading for less than what they are worth, an investor increases his chances of benefiting from long-term price appreciation.
Excellent analysis. I do agree that investors often overpay in the first instance, usually because investors buy into a trend. For me I like to try and spot the rising stars. This means that you can frequently get it wrong, but it's nice when they turn out to be good predictions and you earn a substantial return.
I agree with Rajeev here in regards to realizing that PE ratio is not the only way to determine whether a particular stock is a good investment or not. I learned this the hard way, after buying and trading stocks for quite a long time. I only started making money in stocks when I started to not listen to everything that the so-called-experts say. Still a good fundamentaly sound company should be consider as with any stock investing.
PE is a great tool to identify winning stocks,but, they are not the only factor to be taken in consideration. One must also look at the company fundamentals, the quality of management team, the business prospects in next 10-15 years etc before deciding on investing in a firm. A company with a low PE will give upside returns only if the other factors mentioned are in its favour .

What Common Had To Say About Getting Back Together With Serena Williams
Over the past few weeks, Common has spoken quite openly about his relationships with both Serena Williams and Erkyah Badu. During a recent chat with The Breakfast Club, he went on to further expound on his relationships with these celebrity women, as well as his past relationship with actress Taraji P. Henson.
While the actor and rapper says that he was definitely serious about both Erkyah and Serena, it doesn't really seem that a reunion between either couple is likely.
"It's like once I've experienced that person its like man, sometimes life goes on," he explained. "I can't say I never would go back but Serena and Erkyah was the most serious relationships that I had as an adult and after, it's one of those things, it's like, 'I have to move forward.' It was real love right there. Both of those women I could've married. I was like if I'm not supposed to be there, we're just supposed to be friends."
Speaking of marriage, Common doesn't seem too sure that he'll be making the big leap in the future—or ever.
"I don't know. I was thinking about that last night while talking to one of my lady friends. I don't know if I'm marriage material, maybe someday" he expressed.
"I be focused on my music and my work a lot. Sometimes that's hard to balance with a relationship. I do like relationships, but a lot of times when I'm in relationships, I don't make my best albums. Put it this way, I would have to find the right relationship. You know, a woman who understands the time that you gotta give. to your work. That's really what it is."
He also further explained his previous comment that Erkyah has that "good good."
"The hood knows what it is. Erkyah got something with her, she got something special. Erykah a raw girl, she got a lot to her. She's from the hood, point blank. She's just one of those people from the hood that's artsy, artistic, spiritual, she's got a lot to her."
As for the public believing that Serena broke his heart, Common had this to say:
"Me and Serena was together. We broke up. I don't know specifically her and Drake, it felt like obviously something was going on [after we broke up], I ain't dwell on it too much. I ain't have no problem with that, you do what you do. After a while I felt like in some of Drake's songs he was saying stuff that was subliminal to me. And I was like, you just don't know nowadays cats be doing them sneak disses and after a while it was like I'm just going to come out and say what I need to say. It was a show I was at and I left and Drake said something out to the crowd, some tough stuff. So then I was like, 'aight, it was that time' because I knew he was directing it to me. We kept it on record and after that it was squashed."
The Chicago rapper-turned-actor also confessed to confronting Serena about her relationship with Drake.
"I definitely talked to her about it. At the end of the day, once she aint ya lady, what can I say? It don't have nothing to do with me at that point."
He also seemed to confirm rumors that he once had a thing with Kerry Washington by releasing a bashful giggle.
"Easy, easy. Ain't no scandal here. She's married now."
Out of all of his celebrity exes, Common says his mama loved Taraji the most.
"My mother loved Taraji and funny enough she got cool with Serena even more after we broke up."

Suspect in Va. stabbings headed to Mich.
The man suspected of stabbing mostly black men in three states has agreed to return to Michigan where his spree allegedly began, the Associated Press reports.
Elias Abuelazam, 33, is accused of randomly stabbing and attacking 16 men in Michigan, Virginia and Ohio, police say.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents paged him Wednesday over a loudspeaker at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where he was about to board a flight for Tel Aviv.

Well, I just hope he gets a "shank" when he gets to prison, because I know a lot of black inmates that didn't take to kindly of him only targeting black men to stab and kill.

T. acanthocoma
Common Names:
Brazilian Needle Palm
Distribution & Habitat:
Open forest at between 700m and 1000m altitude along the southernmost end of the mountain range in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The palm is threatened by forest clearance,fires and cattle grazing.
An attractive, small to medium sized, solitary palmate palm, with an unusual woven fibre wrapping the trunk, fibre falls away very easily to reveal a finely detailed pattern of old leaf bases. Leaves are greyish green, very deeply divided, with each individual leaflet being split into two long thin "fingers". The spines are only found at the apex, and due to their feeble nature tend to fall away very quickly. It grows large bunches of white/pale green oval fruits about 1.5cm long, the seeds being the largest of the genus.
Sunny, moist, but well drained position. Drought and frost tolerant. Slightly alkaline soil. Slow growing, seedlings in cultivation can take 3 years to produce the first palmate leaf. Suitable for sub-tropical all the way thru to temperate gardens.

Siemens Wind Energy has called back 18 workers to its Hutchinson nacelle manufacturing plant, with plans to add another 48 jobs in March, said Interim Plant Manager Jim Jones.
"Each month we'll re-evaluate our staffing levels, based on the workload, and decide if we need to bring additional people back in," said Jones, who also serves as Siemens' director of manufacturing for the Americas.
"These are contracts new for fiscal 2013," Jones said. "They were contracts we knew about which were finalized."
The hiring is in response to orders primarily from outside the U.S., said Monika Woods, with Siemens' corporate communications, including the 115-megawatt El Arrayan wind power plant in Chile and a wind farm upgrade in Canada. The plant is also completing its order for the 265-MW Ocotillo Wind project in Southern California.
The recently passed one-year extension to the federal Production Tax Credit "is not directly related to our need to ramp up production at this time," Woods said in an email. "But the PTC extension does give us confidence as we rehire employees.
"As projects move forward and we receive new wind turbine orders sparked by the PTC extension, we will continue to adjust our operations accordingly," Woods stated. "However, we cannot evaluate the potential impact of the extension on our business until detailed guidance on the interpretation of the language change from an 'in-service' to a 'begin construction' date is released."
The previous tax credit, which expired in December, required that wind farms had to be operational before the end of 2012 to qualify for the credit. That led to a record year for turbine installations.
The one-year extension, passed by Congress and signed by the president in January, requires only that wind farms begin construction before the end of the year to qualify for the credit, which is a credit that buyers of the energy receive.
What "begin construction" means - whether the start of a single turbine at a large-scale farm, or a certain percentage of an entire project, or even that completed components that could be used to build farms for years might qualify - has to be defined by the Internal Revenue Service or the U.S. Treasury.

I'm thrilled that Crossdressing: Erotic Stories got such a fabulous review in Forum UK.
There's a lot more to crossdressing than simply a desire by men to wear women's clothes, and this intelligent anthology covers it in thrilling detail. Yes, there are trannies here, most vividly brought to life in Tulsa Brown's Temporary, the tale of an unexpected liaison between a drag queen and one of the kitchen staff in the sleazy venue where she's performing. But there's also a straight girl who fulfills her dominant lover's request to dress as a boy (Alison Tyler's Like a Girl), a butch femme who finally embraces her girly side by wearing a beautiful evening gown (Teresa Noelle Roberts' Tough Enough To Wear a Dress), two couples who attend a fancy dress party as James Dean, Sal Mineo, Clara Bow and Joan Crawford and discover how much it is when boys will be girls and girls will be boys (Helen Boyd's Halloween) and even a woman whose fantasy is to have sex while dressed as a Yeoman of the Guard (Lisabet Sarai's Beefeater). Throw in an introduction from Veronica Vera, the head of Miss Vera's Finishing School For Boys Who Want To Be Girls, and a high quotient of stories featuring men in panties (always guaranteed to keep me turning the pages!), and this is one short story collection which doesn't need to be dressed up as anything other than really hot read. — E.C.

We were having one of those rough days – it was a day after we returned from a trip out of town, no one slept as much as they should the night before, it was raining, a package arrived that wasn't the package my 4 year old has been anticipating, and my 1 year old had only a brief nap. By the time 4 pm rolled around, everyone's temper was short, and we all needed a way to press the reset button. Then I saw a bag of uncooked colored pasta we keep for play, and thought that would be perfect.
I poured the pasta into a basket, got out some measuring cups, and we spent time just scooping the shells up with our hands and the cups, listening to the clatter of the shells as they rained back down into the basket. It was soothing to all of us.
After a while I brought in a few small toy puppies to add to the pasta. My baby had fun playing, scooping out pasta and puppies, and pouring it into another measuring cup. I came up with a few other games to play:
- Find an object: With closed eyes, my 4 year old grab either a dog or a piece of pasta. My 1 year old did the same thing with his eyes open (usually with help).
- Number play: With closed eyes, my 4 year old grabbed a certain number of pieces of pasta or dogs.
- Rescue the dog: We "rescued" the dogs by taking them out of the pasta.
Here are some other very fun ways to color pasta and rice that I will try next time:
Happy Hooligans has a thrifty and easy way to make both colored rice and colored pasta.
For a different sensory experience, Love, Play, Learn shares some fun with coloring cooked spaghetti.
Mama Miss has tutorials on coloring both pasta and rice with Kool-Aid
Teach Preschool has a post that explains coloring rice with Kool-Aid, food coloring, and even cocoa!

The Columbus Dispatch has announced that they'll no longer be distributing crying Sidney Crosby masks in this Sunday's edition of the paper.
From Blue Jackets beat writer Aaron Portzline:
The Dispatch initially announced their plans to distribute the masks on Friday night, in a tweet that's since been deleted featuring an image of the mask (pictured above).
A crying Crosby with his name written on his helmet in crayon is perhaps better than the tired "Cindy Crosby" jokes about his reaction to penalty calls, but not by much, at any rate. The Blue Jackets are down 2-0 to the Penguins in the opening round of the playoffs, with Game 3 on Sunday night.

Whenever you go to a website you usually have an idea of what you are searching for. However, you will find times when you are looking on other websites, for instance, the social networking websites, and you will notice an advertisement that lures you in and you cannot resist going to the advertised site if only for a closer look. You have just met the perform of an web marketing and marketing company and are doing exactly what they wanted all along, even if you do not make a single buy.
When you're looking for an item, you generally type particular words or phrases into your research engine like Google. These words or combination of words, also recognized as keywords will lead you to a results page which lists millions of potential outcomes to your research inquiry.
You can then begin clicking on these results until you discover the ones which are actually along the lines of what you're after. For instance, you're looking for the "pineapple-banana diet" but you were not certain if those were the right two fruits. Your search may be for "fruit diet" or something similar. As soon as you see the first result, you know you've found the proper 1. Showcase Listing is one company that offers Internet Marketing Services.
Let's say, however, that you simply did not have the first clue of what you're looking for and also you do not want to some search that's so broad as "dieting" simply because you know you'll get literally millions of outcomes in an instant. You are browsing various diet sites but nothing really is jumping out at you. You are on other websites however and also the ads all seem curiously diet related. You finally find 1 that looks promising and click on the ad, just a little curious about how coincidental that it all seemed to be. Really, it was not coincidental at all, merely the perform of an internet advertising and advertising organization who have used technology to define and refine their search for customers based on what the customers themselves have searched for very first.
Whenever you research a website you pick up cookies that allow companies to find out what websites you have been to and what kind of interests you seem to have. They can them customize the ads on your sites to those interests as well as utilizing that information for other purposes as nicely.
For instance, if you have ever spent Thursday searching for dieting plans and then found your email box filled with weight loss products and offers on Friday, it isn't coincidence merely that same internet advertising and marketing organization at work again. Direct mail campaigns work because they are able to target particular people depending on their search histories and web usage.
I do have extensive experience marketing online and I do feel that most Internet marketing and advertising businesses charge for too much for what they offer. Here are the questions you need to find out the answers to before you select an marketing company to perform with:
An additional thing I want you to think about is this; Should you learn these methods yourself (which can very easily be done by the way with the proper training), you are able to save yourself a ton of cash. You just have to know where to obtain the proper instruction and there are a lot of Web marketing training schools out there that you simply can use.

I did not use the SL4 for along time and when I switched it on again, the touch screen did not respond any more to the pen.
I have done a hard reset but it did not help. I am now caught in the calibration programe of the display. When I touch the screen with the pen, the cursor moves but always comes back to the center when it has moved aroud all corners. When pressing Esc of the virtual keyboard to escape this programe, there is not reaction.
Has anybody a solution?

|Mary Wollstonecraft
At the May service of The Goddess House, not only were the grandmothers of our blood line honoured, but also women we found inspirational as well as some of the many brave women throughout time who put their lives on the line for women's rights and a better quality of life. One of these woman was 18th century British writer and philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797).
Best known for "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" (published in 1792), Wollstonecraft argued that women are not naturally inferior to men, but appear to be only because they lack education. She suggested that both men and women should be treated as rational beings and imagines a social order founded on reason.
Wollstonecraft was quoted as saying "I do not wish women to have power over men, but over themselves." Very wise words indeed,
More information about Mary Wollstonecraft can be found - History Guide and BBC History.
|Sojourner Truth
Another amazing woman was Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), the self-given name (from 1843 onwards) of Isabella Baumfree, an African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist. Born into slavery, Truth escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826.
After going to court to recover her son, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man. Her best-known extemporaneous speech on racial inequalities, "Ain't I a Woman?", was delivered in 1851 at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention. The speech follows:
"Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about?
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect"] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back , and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.
Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain't got nothing more to say."

|Mary Lee
Closer to home was South Australian Suffragette, Mary Lee (1821-1909). Born in Ireland, Lee migrated to Australia in 1879 and in 1883 became active in the ladies' committee of the Social Purity Society which advocated changes to the law relating to the social and legal status of young women, as well as the end to child labour in order to protect girls from abuse and preventing them from becoming prostitutes or child brides.
The group's success was a passage in the 1885 Criminal Law Consolidation Amendment Act that raised the age of consent from 13 to 16.
More information about Mary Lee can be found - South Australian History
The Goddess House would like to thank Tara-Jade for bringing these women, amongst others, to our honouring service, and reminding us of the important role they played in order for women to have what are considered these days as basic rights.

Daley Sinkgraven is set to leave Heerenveen next summer, his team-mate Marten de Roon has claimed.
Sinkgraven's form has convinced Heerenveen pal De Roon that he will make a big-money move next summer.
"He is so nimble, he almost dances on the field," De Roon told Dutch publication Voetbal Primeur.
Sinkgraven recently told the same publication that he is flattered by the mounting interest in him.
He said: "It is a compliment that there are so many clubs interested in me.
"Whether it is all true, we will then see again."

Alaska, Mount Hunter, Southwest Ridge
On May 26 at 1700, James Raitt(27),James Bonnie (27), Mark Paterson, Darren Swift, Richard Cantrill, and Peter Pollard flew to the Southeast Fork of the Kahiltna Glacier to attempt Mount Hunter's Southwest Ridge and the Sultana Ridge on Mount Foraker. Taking into consideration the current snow conditions and recent weather patterns the team decided to attempt Mount Hunter first. At 1900 the team departed Basecamp for the Southwest Ridge of Mount Hunter and camped at the base of the West Ridge.
On May 27 the team moved their camp to the Thunder Glacier at the base of the Southwest Ridge, arriving at 1400. On May 28 the team took a rest day and wanded the route to the base of the Southwest Ridge. On the morning of May 29 at 0400 the team departed camp arriving at the base of the couloir at 0500. The group was traveling in rope teams of two, with Raitt and Bonney being the lead team. Around 0600 Raitt and Bonney had reached a bend in the couloir. They were moving well and saw no need for running protection up to that point. Bonney later stated, that since the terrain was starting to get steeper, he had considered putting in some protection at this point, but continued without it. Moments later a piece of ice on which Bonney was standing gave way. Bonney fell pulling Raitt off with him. Neither was able to self-arrest and the two fell to the bottom of the couloir, coming to rest on the debris cone just above the Thunder Glacier, a distance of approximately 700 feet. The other four members of the team witnessed the fall and descended to render assistance. The two injured climbers were within three meters of each other when the other members arrived.
Raitt sustained injuries to his pelvis and lower left leg. Bonney sustained injuries to his right ankle and ribs and abrasions and contusions to his left hand and forehead. Both patients remained conscious throughout the fall. After Raitt and Bonney were stabilized, Pollard and Cantrill left for Basecamp at the Southeast Fork of the Kahiltna, while Swift and Paterson remained with the injured climbers. While en-route to basecamp, Pollard and Cantrill contacted Talkeetna Air Taxi Pilot Rico Olmstead by CB radio and informed him of the accident. The party was unable to hear Olmstead's response, so Olmstead used air to ground signals to acknowledge receipt of their transmission. Olmstead landed at basecamp and reported the transmission to Ranger Mik Shain. On his own initiative, Olmstead, with climber Mark Westman aboard, flew to the scene to try and gather more information about the accident. Olmstead and Westman were unable to communicate with the two climbers who were en-route to basecamp, nor the climbers at the scene of the accident, but were able to confirm the location and number of climbers involved.
Ranger Mik Shain contacted the Talkeetna Ranger Station at 1050 to inform them of the accident. Initial reports speculated that the accident was caused by avalanche and that there were up to four patients. The Incident Commander, Ranger Joe Reichert, with the Air Operations Chief, Dave Kreutzer, decided to send the NPS contract helicopter to the scene.
At 1221, the Lama, piloted by jim Hood, was launched with Rangers Gordy Kito and Kevin Moore aboard. At 1223 Jay Hudson launched in a Cessna 206 to provide communication and visual support. At 1254, the Lama arrived on scene. Through hand signals the rangers determined that there were two patients to be evacuated from the scene. Because of the exposure to objective dangers at the accident site, it was decided that Ranger Moore would be short- hauled to the scene. The Lama landed, and a staging area was established at the team's camp on the Thunder glacier. Ranger Moore was short-hauled to the scene at 1313 with a "screamer suit," "Bauman bag," and a backboard. Bonney was loaded into the "screamer suit" and transported to the staging area at 1321 hours, while Moore, Swift, and Paterson put Raitt onto the backboard and into the "Bauman bag."
Raitt and Moore were lifted from the scene at 1334 hours and transported to the staging area. Both patients were assessed at the staging area by Kito and transferred to Air National Guard Pararescue personnel for transport to Anchorage.
Raitt and Bonney were both skilled mountaineers having collectively climbed in the French and Swiss Alps, Peru, and Nepal. The objective the team had chosen seemed well within their abilities, and they paid close attention to previous weather patterns, snowfall and route conditions. The team had planned plenty of time for the expedition and was climbing on an appropriate schedule.
As they started climbing the couloir at the base of the route, they made a decision to continue climbing without running protection while being roped together. Bonney stated that at the time of the accident he was starting to consider placing running protection. Unfortunately Bonney's stance gave way before he placed any protection. The injuries that resulted from the fall may have been worse had both climbers not been wearing their helmets.
The severity of many accidents in the Alaska Range may have been reduced by the use of running protection while climbing simultaneously and roped together. Climbing roped on steep terrain, without protection either natural or through the use of pickets and ice screws, always carries the risk of increasing the number of injuries or fatalities while offering little in the way of safety.
There have been numerous accidents on this route despite John Waterman's claim in his book High Alaska that this is the "safest... route up Mount Hunter." Two of the four members in the first ascent party were caught in a wet-snow slide while descending this couloir and carried 500 feet to the bottom. Though the first ascent party suffered minor injuries, a team of four experienced climbers, despite placing running protection, fell 1,700 feet down the couloir, which resulted in the death of two of the members.

iFixit has now opened up the 4th generation iPod touch to reveal its secrets. Best of all, since they do it you don't have to void the warranty on yours. Not surprisingly the team at iFixit discovered that the iPod touch had features similar to the iPhone 4. Hey, why reinvent the wheel?
Features include a three-axis gyro, support for 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and a 640X960 pixel resolution retina display. Yet, probably the coolest thing is support for FaceTime video chat which was previously only available with the iPhone 4. Of course, support for FaceTime means the iPod touch now includes not one, but two cameras. The front facing camera supports VGA video recording while the rear camera records video at 720p. The latest iPod touch comes in three flavors including 8GB, 32GB and 64GB priced at $229, $299 and $399 respectively.
iFixit's evaluation of the iPod touch is that it gets a 4 out of 10 for repairability. Although the device is pretty easy to open with a heat gun and iPod touch opening tools it doesn't mean an inexpensive repair. Gotchas include the front glass and LCD being fused together, the fact the display can't be removed without removing the logic board and the volume button, sleep button cable, and battery are all soldered to the logic board. No easy battery replacement here folks.

Brian's Opinion
I'm a big fan of the iPod touch and probably will be until Verizon Wireless gets an iPhone. As iFixit points out it is pretty amazing how many features of the 4th generation iPod touch are actually shared with the iPhone 4. You would have to think though that is part of Apple's plan to minimize engineering costs for different units.
As far as the repairability of the iPod touch let's be honest. Apple doesn't make their iPod line to be user serviceable. The fact that everything is sealed up nicely is one of the attractions to the iPod line. Now that doesn't mean people haven't gone ahead and cracked open previous iPod models to replace batteries as needed. That's probably why new models have batteries soldered to the logic board to prevent users from trying to replace them.

November is lurking around the corner and will be here before you know it, so my question to you is, have you decided who you will vote for? I have, and I proudly say my choice is Hillary Rodham Clinton. I am informing you all that there are ample development in the race for the presidency of the United States.
First of all, Donald Trump, according to Kristina Vong's article at Thehill.com, wrongly corrected a veteran Marine during a forum. The veteran, a woman named Rachel Fredericks, asked Mr. Trump how he plans to stop 20 veterans from committing suicide, daily. Trump tried to correct the woman, who needed no correction. He said it is actually 22, trying to emerge correct, when he was essentially incorrect.
Mr. Trump also does not have a real plan to defeat ISIS, as "his plan is to have a plan" according to Igor Bobic at the Huffington Post. He also insulted military leaders calling them embarrassments to the country when they were under President Obama. He wants to give the generals 30 days to come up with a plan to defeat ISIS. Of course, this even makes it more obvious that Mr. Trump does not have a plan to defeat ISIS. Why, then did he call our current president the founder of ISIS? How can you give your vote to someone so unprepared and unfit for the presidency that constitutes a whole country? Sorry to say, but Donald Trump is not someone to vote for, at least not as US President!
According to Sean Colarossi at PoliticusUSA.com, a presidential forum highlighted how prepared Trump and Clinton are compared to each other, with Clinton appearing as the more prepared one, very easily. Clinton was engaged with questions, expressed gratitude, and was very prolific and intelligible in her responses. To reiterate, Trump has not a plan to defeat ISIS, where Hillary has a well thought-out plan. She outlined her plan, entailing it could take any form and she iterated and supports the idea that terror suspects should not be able to purchase firearms. Clinton also covered issues like mental health, illuminating the fact that it is overlooked, and mental health should no longer be stigmatized and victims of mental disorders should have access to resources. On the other hand, Trump gave generic answers like that he knows what is going on in the world. Also according to Colarossi's article, Trump showed as an "empty suit" and "showed he is not prepared to be commander-in-chief" and that the contrast between him and Clinton could not be clearer"; this essentially means Clinton showed to be immensely more prepared to lead and did not focus on attacking others, like Trump's approach does.
Lastly, Donald Trump has insulted women, children, ethnic groups, religious groups, his opponent, our current president, the military, and the list goes on. He is patronizing and unprepared to preside over our country as well. He constantly attacks others, with no action in mind. Consider if you want to have him as president, seriously!

Skipping Day
It was one of the hottest days of the year and scheduled into the school diary was... Whole School Skipping Workshop! All the classes in the school had a lesson with 'Skippy John' and by the end of the day all the children (including Reception children) were skipping! This experience has really revived skipping at playtime in school and it is lovely to watch the children enjoying their newly acquired skills!

Looks like Nathan Kress — who played Freddie Benson on the hit Nickelodeon show iCarly — is the latest celeb to get engaged! The 22-year-old actor popped the question to girlfriend London Elise Moore, an actress and stunt performer, with a romantic surprise proposal.
After just a few months of dating, Kress got down on one knee and asked Moore to marry him at a scenic overlook in Angeles National Forest in Southern California, with an intimate table set for two and a vintage Mustang in the background. Moore didn't just say "yes" — Kress captioned on Instagram that he got a "heck yes" out of his bride-to-be.

In addition to sharing their proposal details on Instagram, Moore also gave a sneak peek of her stunning engagement ring, a 100-year-old "vintage dream ring" that the two picked out together at the same jewelry shop where Kress's mother got her wedding ring 30 years ago. "I am in LOVE with it. Funny how things work out," Moore said.
The actor has been open about how much Moore, who played Michelle Williams's stunt double in Oz the Great and Powerful, means to him. "In my core group of friends who I have now, what used to be my core group, now it's my core group and one of them became my girlfriend, which has been really cool and nice and another new thing," Kress told M Magazine.
Based on Kress's elaborate proposal, we're anxious to see what sweet wedding details pop up from this super-cute couple.

PA Pass Major Milestone
Packaging Automation has passed a major milestone having completed its financial year on 30 September with total turnover exceeding £10.5 million.
In 2014, the family owned business set an aggressive growth target and since then has seen turnover increase by more than 50%. This success has been achieved through teamwork and a clear focus by all employees on one goal.
Headquartered in Knutsford, Packaging Automation Ltd employs a workforce of about 115 which is set to increase to 125 in the next 12 months. With all of the company's products being designed and manufactured in house, a large proportion of the employees are highly skilled engineers many of whom have developed their skills as apprentices with the business.
Much of the growth has been generated through export sales as a result of a strategy to target specific countries and emerging markets where there has been an increase in demand for packaged foods.
Sam Ashton Commercial Director of PA commented:
"This has been a hugely challenging but satisfying year for the whole team at PA, and the record results have been achieved through the hard work and dedication of all of our employees. Having market leading patented technology supported by a workforce who are focused on supporting our customers is a winning combination. We will not be resting on our laurels as we enter our next financial year with a full order book and a desire to continue to be the best supplier in our market."

PA can offer customers a tray sealer or pot filler for a wide range of applications in the food industry including fresh produce packing such as salad, tomato, strawberry and soft fruit packing, fish, seafood, meat and chicken packing (including vacuum packing and skin packing), ready meal sealing and packing, sandwich skillet sealing and pot or tub denesting, filling and sealing for puddings and sauces.

The answer? They were there all the time.
The pyramid builders made their first entry in the archaeological record 5,000 years ago. This appearance was so abrupt that it has provoked fantasies of alien landings, mysterious civilisations or an invading master race. But in Genesis of the Pharaohs, published on Monday by Thames and Hudson, the Cambridge Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson presents a different picture.
The people who carved the great temples of Memphis and the elaborate tombs of the Valley of the Kings were once stone-age nomadic cattle herders who every summer, when the Nile flooded, took their herds to the fresh grass of the uplands.
They left a painstaking record of religious imagery, much of it to reappear 2,500 years later in the Valley of the Kings.
The origins of the Nile civilisation have been a hot topic for many decades. "They don't seem to have an ancestry, they don't seem to have any period of development, they just seem almost to appear overnight," said Dr Wilkinson.
"This has left people pondering, and of course it has been fertile ground for the unorthodox who suggest it was all planted by aliens, or visitors from Atlantis."
He and colleagues followed research by a German scholar, Hans Winkler, who before his death in the second world war published one preliminary report on rock art in what is now desert between the Red Sea and the Nile.
"It was never clear from his work whether what he found was all there was, or whether there was much, much more. The answer is there is a huge amount more, the place is littered with Egyptian rock art.
"There are some sites where the tableaux covered by the art are enormous - high cliff faces - and one has to imagine that these are the temples of prehistoric Egypt, these are sacred places to which people came back on a regular basis."
Dr Wilkinson's survey pinpointed hundreds of sites at which, 1,000 years before the founding of ancient Egypt, cattle herders had left intricate carvings of hippos and crocodiles, cattle, and above all, boats carrying godlike figures.
Each had been painstakingly "pecked" into the rock by an artist with a stone stylus. There are no written records. There is almost no other evidence of the people who fashioned the stories in the rock.
But the carvings tell of seasonal nomads who would have left the river valley with the annual flooding, and taken their herds to what had once been grassland savannah.
"I think one of the most striking things is the shape of the boat, with an upright prow and an incurved, sickle-shaped stern, very distinctive in the rock art.
"It is found throughout Egyptian history, and particularly in the Valley of the Kings, where it is quite specifically a divine boat, a boat associated with the king's voyage in the afterlife. I feel strongly that this particular shape of boat, already, in 4000BC, is associated with the spiritual dimension."
Some motifs in the desert stone explain other Egyptian puzzles. "On the coffin of Tutankhamun, there is the king, holding across his chest symbols of kingship which people have never thought about - and these are symbols of animal husbandry. Why does the king wear a bull's tail, why does he carry a crook?"
