I do not know Pastor Wright nor do I know what kind of person he is? Actually all I know is what I've read in articles about Obama $ Wright.
What I do know is Obama from the experience I've personally had with him concerning the outrageous heist of my assets protected by a trust is a liar. It is eighty million dollars to be exact $ every cent that I had.
Discovered embezzled in September 2004; suspected to have been laundered through a business.
And I can't blame Obama for everything; just his reaction to this crime considering all he has said about the unlawful foreclosures…in the past.
He really doesn't care $ it's no longer an important issue in our United States of America, while millions of families are homeless.
Of course I contacted the US Attorney General in office back in late 2004. It was still Attorney General John Ashcroft. I don't believe I wrote Attorney General Alberto Gonzales? I was probably busy with contacting the FBI in four different states.
Yeah that's it, busy with the FBI as they claimed they'd investigate the embezzlement of my assets as they lived in my trust account between Paine Webber $ The National Bank of Detroit, (now Chase). Shearson Lehman had my account for a while as well so the FBI was on the move after I sent all my documents of proof to them. They were investigating they said.
Hey but no one ever called to interview me from the FBI? I was thinking, "Oh they have to be very secretive. They'll call when it's safe. "
Apparently I'd watched too many Law & Order episodes in my life?
Meanwhile another financial institution KeyBank was in the process of committing a bunch more federal crimes against me, while I'd write the US Attorney General again? Why? Well because he wasn't answering my first complaints yet?
My attorney at the time was constantly telling me two things. The first was, "The bank is paying you back for reporting their crimes to the US Attorney General." The other was, "I hope you've contacted the US Attorney General $ FBI? This is all serious federal crime."
Meanwhile the attorney was arrogantly committing more federal crimes against me?
I'm thinking, "For heaven's sake there's so much crime going on here these elite criminals will all go to prison once the FBI finishes their investigation!"
Twelve years later I live in the streets; the FBI never bothered to investigate; the US Attorney General never launched an investigation, and I blame Attorney General Holder $ multiple state attorney generals who could barely send me an obtuse form letter eight months after I contacted them.
It's now been eight years since I first started contacting the US Attorney General concerning the embezzlement; it's been eleven years since I started contacting the US Attorney General $ FBI on another financial matter related to the final shock. They're still ignoring me with obtuse form letters directing me elsewhere.
In the last year I've written Barak Obama three more times about all this because his underlings won't do their jobs. I've received more form letters from the White House. The latest one signed by Barak Obama.
Because my issue remains unaddressed, along with many others I'm assured, the below is what we'll continue to experience as the powerful lie about the cause $ effect of huge financial losses. Even Obama, our president, who has spent many years ignoring my request for an investigation into the embezzlement of my assets, has made a statement here.
But, because of what I've seen $ experienced I'm confident he's just lying some more.
Posted by Sarah Rasheed on May 15, 2012
The heavy loss from JPMorgan shows, according to president Barack Obama, that strong regulations are needed in the US financial sector. During his interview on ABC's The View, the president stated that:
"This is the best or one of the best managed banks. You could have a bank that isn't as strong, isn't as profitable making those same bets and we might have had to step in and that's exactly why Wall Street reform is so important."
While it remains unclear exactly what the future holds for the financial sector of America, it is clear that the heavy loss from JPMorgan has brought to light the ongoing problems within the US banking system.
Please, it doesn't take rocket science to regulate $ control financial institutions. Yet our paid by our taxes government authorities act like they're totally removed from the financial crimes going on? It's as if they have no right to step in and do something like investigate these losses?
Then Barak Obama has the nerve to say, "strong regulations are needed," as if these regulations are coming from the "regulation angel" once he/she has the time.
Unfortunately we've had to wait our turn for this angel to appear for over a century? This same crime attacked both my great aunt and Mother.
Hello these government regulators are all over the place in the SEC, OCC, FDIC, Finra, global financial regulators $ international financial regulators. Our taxes pay for their protection. It's US Attorney General Holder's responsibility to launch investigations into financial institutions that do business with the public everyday.
He isn't while Barak Obama says, "strong regulations are needed."
Well if these regulators aren't doing their jobs perhaps they should be fired or we should stop paying taxes for their protection and put our assets in a safe buried underground?
With all this going on we as the consumer are still blasting the Internet $ Twitter with who the next president should be $ how one political party is better over the other when all along what political party gets into office has no bearing on the financial state this country is in at all.
Why? Because all the politicians are in on the ignoring of the federal crimes the financial institutions are committing. They benefit from these crimes.
Again I've never met Jeremiah Wright but I've had personal experience with Obama who has not an ethic, moral or piece of integrity in his soul, so I can only assume he has like minded friends surrounding him $ against him.
It appears Jeremiah Wright merely voices what Obama thinks $ Obama may have bribed him to keep his latest mouth shut?

In 108 ODIs, he boasts an impressive strike rate of 83, while his Twenty20 runs have come at a rate of 146. His clout in the middle order will be crucial to Zimbabwe's hopes of springing a surprise in a group that also includes New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

County parks commission to consider parking fees at several beachesBY AMY ASMANFree parking at beaches in Santa Barbara County could soon be a thing of the past, like cheap gas or Pontiac convertibles. On July 26, the Santa Barbara County Parks Commission will hold a public meeting to discuss a staff report on the possibility of charging parking fees at seven parks to generate revenue for county coffers. The beaches up for consideration include Rincon Beach, Loon Point, Lookout Park, Arroyo Burro Beach, Goleta Beach, Ocean Beach, and Guadalupe Dunes Park. The commissioners will also discuss how much to charge for parking and potential citations, as well as the possibility of enforcing parking fees at all county parks. The meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Board of Supervisors hearing room in the county administration building, 105 E. Anapamu St. in Santa Barbara. Northern Santa Barbara County residents unable to attend the meeting in person can watch the meeting remotely at the Board of Supervisors hearing room in the Betteravia Government Center, 511 E. Lakeside Parkway in Santa Maria. Additional meetings will be held to discuss the topic on Aug. 16 in Santa Barbara and on Aug. 23 in Santa Maria. For more information, or to fill out a survey on beach parking fees, visit sbparks.org. Surveys must be completed by Aug. 16. |

Berke Learnin': District 10 Candidate Series
After a couple of unsuccessful attempts, schedules aligned favorably for a meeting with Andy Berke, Democratic primary contender for the state senate in the special election for District 10. We met at his campaign headquarters, which is rented space at the family's law practice.
Andy put his campaign skills, which he began acquiring right after college by working to elect 6th District Congressman Bart Gordon, to use right away. A good candidate never takes his or her eyes off the prize, which is not only the voter being spoken to, but that voter's circle of influence. Berke spoke frankly of his inner drive to personally convince every person with whom he speaks during this campaign to vote for him, and to ask others to do the same. On one hand, it's typical candidate talk; on the other, it seems he really means it.
I couldn't help finding a few similarities between Berke's apparent enthusiasm and that of another Democrat who recently ran in Tennessee: Harold Ford, Jr. I said as much. Andy reminded me that he had spent "a lot of time" with Ford, and had even arranged the photo shoot that ended up on the cover of a Newsweek issue. Our conversation quickly turned to the issues facing Tennesseans today.
We spent a large portion of our time talking about public schools in Hamilton and Marion counties, and what needs to happen in order to correct their current dismal trajectory (overall, with some notable exceptions). A "culture of excellence," says Berke, is essential for area children to grow into innovators in the global marketplace. While we can debate exactly what roles are played by the state, and to what degree, in getting there, it's a shared goal.
I asked, rhetorically enough, if vouchers were an option he would consider offering desperate parents who want the best education for their children, but who cannot afford private tuition. The answer was clearly not in favor of vouchers; instead, Berke spoke of elevating the public schools to the level that will fulfill students' (and thus parents') needs. He says that parents play a critical role in that being able to happen, and that money alone is not the answer.
When asked what made him decide to pursue politics as a candidate himself, after having worked on others' campaigns, Berke paused, and then passionately described the profound effect of having people request his help, such as a Marion County factory worker who pleaded for relief on the costs of insuring a family for medical coverage. It dawned on me while he was saying this that he would have already been campaigning when the anecdotal event had taken place, and I should have called him on that. I know he at least occasionally reads this blog, though, so let this serve. You get the point, regardless of my minor quibble.
It's no secret that Andy Berke is considered the frontrunner in the primary (if not the general); I, however, look forward to conversations with Dr. Lee Whitaker, Ken Jordan, John Wolfe, and anyone else who wishes to present a challenge to the prevailing prognosis.

Watch the Supreme Court in Action
Behind the stately marble facade of the Supreme Court building, the nation's nine, black be-gowned justices reveal intellectual brilliance and their own personalities as they listen to and question both sides of an argument. Is the famously silent Justice Thomas really silent? Is the famously aggressive Justice Scalia really so blunt? Only one way to find out: Wait in line for entry and a coveted seat inside the Courtroom. … Back to Article

Obama Is Making More Sense Than the Loyal OppositionPosted on Feb 14, 2013President Obama said "jobs" 47 times in his State of the Union message last Tuesday night, so we know what's on his mind. Whether he has the political strength and will to make those ideas—some pretty good—into policy and law is the question of the coming year, maybe the coming four years. Press reaction from coast to coast was generally, but cautiously, positive. The New York Times editorial reaction was under a generous headline: "The President's Challenge to Congress—In the State of the Union address, Mr. Obama points to a way out of austerity and stalemate." On the West Coast, the Los Angeles Times editorial reaction was more skeptical, praising the speech but using the headline: "Obama's New Vision: Doable?" Advertisement The president's address did not come at an easy time. Yes, things do seem to be getting a little better economically, but the Republicans, judging by Sen. Marco Rubio's reaction speech, are going to do their best to block anything proposed by the president—good, bad or indifferent. Sen. Rubio, touted by Time magazine as the Republican "savior," repeated old words and ideas, in English and Spanish, that will be little remembered, though his desperate televised lunge for a bottle of water will probably be never forgotten. Good film is like that. In fact, the man from Florida made a fool of himself a couple of times, particularly when he said government can do nothing about the effects of weather. Out here among the palm trees, the real Republican effort on jobs was being made last week at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where Texas Gov. Rick Perry was holed up, trying to persuade California industrialists and employers to move their companies and jobs to Texas. I'm assuming that he wants them to do that before his state makes good on its threats to secede from the Union to become the Lonely Star Republic. Ironically, the Texas lure is a fraud, based largely on the fact that the lonely stars have no income tax, a real attraction for big bosses and other overpaid folk. Maybe Gerard Depardieu should be looking for a ranch in Perry's domain. But, as the Los Angeles Times and its economics columnist Michael Hiltzik have shown, the Texas pitch is being made with Confederate dollars. "The campaign exposes an important shortcoming of Texas' job-development program," wrote Hiltzik recently. "It focuses on using incentives to steal jobs from other states because it's not so hot at creating jobs from scratch. Some of the jobs it has managed to attract are low-skilled manufacturing, call centers, etc., which can just as easily leave when another state decides to offer a better incentive than Texas." Hiltzik, more specifically, points out that 53 percent of venture investment nationwide was made in California in 2012, where such investments totaled $14 billion compared with $1 billion in Texas. And state business taxes are almost identical in the two states, though they tax different things. Also 40 percent of Texas' budget is supplied by the federal government, compared with 32 percent in California. The Golden State has a lot of problems, great and small, but it is still making new ships while Texas tries to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic. Nationally, the Republican Party wants to throw the chairs overboard for everyone not in First Class. © 2013 UNIVERSAL UCLICK Previous item: Dismal Indeed: Why Dick Cheney Disdains the 'Second-Rate' Obama Team Next item: Fossil Fuels 'May Prove Worthless' New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

The ending won't be pretty |
Written by Rick Folstad | |||
Tuesday, 21 February 2006 19:00 | |||
The only thing trainers Danny Smith and John David Jackson could agree on Monday was the ending. It won't be pretty and it won't be decided by three guys wearing suits sitting at ringside. "If (Shane) Mosley gets caught, he's going to be stopped," said Smith, who is training Fernando Vargas (26-2, 22 KOs). "Fernando is going to be extremely ferocious. He's not going to box one minute. This is a fight where somebody should get stopped. Fernando is looking for the knockout. And I know Shane is going to box and try to get the knockout. I don't believe this fight will go the distance."

Grade Easy PLR ...
Easy PLR is a service run by Nicole Dean. The site has PLR articles, PLR reports, and PLR ecourses for sale. The content is professionally written by English fluent writers, professionally edited, and is 100% unique content. Easy PLR makes sure that their content is unique by only selling their content to 100 people while others PLR sites have 500 or more members.
All Internet marketers need content whether they want it for their ecourses, for article marketing, SEO, or simple for their readers. PLR membership sites have become very popular because it's a great way to get reliable content on a budget. The problem with PLR sites is that there are hundreds of other people with the same content and you often get content you don't want or need.
Easy PLR attempts to solve this problem by providing limited quantities of article packages as well as giving you the choice to buy the content you need. Unlike other sites, Easy PLR is not a membership site, it is simply a service where you can browse through the content and buy what you need.
Each group of content is only sold to 100 people (sometimes less). This ensures that your content is more unique compared to sites where there are 500 or more members all receiving the same content. You also can choose which article packs to buy so you only get the articles that you will need.
Articles in the article packs usually cost $1 per article. There are article packs on dog training, dieting, networking, marketing, debt, home, and more. You can also get PLR special reports which are 5000 or more words in length. These reports are mainly Internet marketing reports and are 20 pages or more.
There are ecourses for Internet marketers which you can put in your autoresponder sequences. I looked through the content and I have to say that I am impressed by the quality of the writing and the research that were done for the content being sold. I don't think anybody would be disappointed with their purchase.
In conclusion, Easy PLR is a solid service and the price runs at $1 per article. The reports and PLR ecourses are also a great value for those that need it. It's too bad that these reports are for Internet marketers and there aren't any reports for niche markets. The only bad thing about the service is that there are limited topics to choose from. Nicole has done a great job on the articles and there are some decent topics to start out but it really needs to be expanded. Take a look at the site and see if there are any PLR content that's right for you.

Good quality but cheap PLR As an internet marketer, I have a lot of blogs that should be updated periodically. High traffic to my blogs makes me have to actively manage blogs there. This condition makes me often run out of ideas to write, so sometimes I out-source to other writers to write few new unique articles. I usually require that each written article must be at least 300 words because I am very concerned about the quality of each article and SEO. Bing.com requires an article to 300 words to be indexed properly. Another problem is, my grammar is not perfect so that out-source can be the best option. The average price for an article I out-source is $ 4-7 / articles with perfect grammar, 300 words and price depends on the supplied keyword. Not a long time ago, I tried to buy Dieting Plans # 3 PLR from easyplr.com, one article only cost me a single dollar, consists of more than 300 words, on average over 400 words, grammar is perfect, it really helped me in blog update. I really liked the article "The Abs Diet" in the PLR package. I honestly hope there will be more quality articles with broader categories so that buyers have more choices. Overall I am very satisfied with the existing PLR article, the price is also very cheap without lowering the article quality. |

I got lots of ready-made articles for my emails When I got lazy writing more articles for my list on 5 different niches, I looked for a good way to keep the ball rolling to all of them. I don't want to lose my subscribers because I am not giving them quality contents. When I saw Easy PLR being promoted in a forum, I rushed to their site and browsed on what they can probably help to my business and so I tried to buy a simple series of email messages to my list on a home interior design. It is composed of 10 article messages and it worked great at only $10. Because of this purchase I was able to get even replies from my list asking for more and that's where I send them product offers from Clickbank and I got 3 sales the day after that at $27 each! That's profit already! Since that time, I was amazed of the quality of the articles that I bought. Unlike other PLR sites that I have accessed, Easy PLR is not a membership site and that's what I like most as you are not obliged to pay for a monthly subscription. This is really a great site. |

I love PLR content! I can't help it I love to read and rewrite PLR content and I have been doing so for a long time now for my article marketing projects. With Easy PLR I have been able to churn out heaps of rewritten articles that I am using for my internet marketing methods and I have to admit that the articles are of great quality. I am privileged to be part of the few people in this PLR membership and I am putting those articles to good use. The content is clear and concise with good punctuation and are written in easy to read language. They don't use too technical words and give great understanding about their topics. I have been able to generate articles on topics I didn't even need to research it is perfect. |

Pretty good quality and great price Usually I I have my articles written by my ghostwriter but this time I needed articles very fast. I've asked few of my fellow Internet marketer and they have recommended me "easy PLR". When I've chosen articles I've paid for them via pay-pal. It took literally 2 minutes and I had my articles on my mailbox. I thought that when I pay $1 for a single article the will be a little bit crappy and I'll have correct them. But to my surprise I've found only one spelling error in ten articles. Articles are rather professionally written. In conclusion, this quality for this price is great as for me. I highly recommend it to you if you need articles fast. |

Easy PLR is worth the money I have several websites, some are blogs others are more traditional. But to all of them I am constantly in need for fresh content. I heard about the articles from 'Easy PLR' in a forum. At first I was skeptical, because I already got many PLR articles for free, so I asked myself: Why would I want to pay for one or more articles if I didn't anyway get the article as a complete unique (single copy) rights? Well, I decided to give it a try so therefore I bought several articles for a total price of about 25$. They turned out to be much better than the free PLR articles I used to get through a free membership plan I belong to. Not only was the content better, but it was written in a much more professional way, better grammar and SEO friendly. I used some of the articles on my blogs, but I also send excerpts in e-mails to my mailing list; and I modified a few of the articles and added links to my various affiliate business. All came out with very good results, one of my blogs even increased from a PR0 to a PR2. I recommend all who use free PLR articles to try this. |

I stayed last week at the Embassy Suites at MIA and at checkout, I asked what exactly had distinguished my Diamond stay from any other person's stay at the same property. I had no snack box, no robe, had to pay for parking and Internet access and breakfast is free for everyone. I was told by the desk clerk "Oh, Hilton has stopped doing that. They stopped putting the robes and the snack boxes in the rooms at all their properties." I was in a hurry, so I didn't pursue the issue, but I did log onto the Hilton HHonors site later just to confirm that the Diamond benefits have not been amended or reduced. I'm not sure if this is the local operator perpetrating a lie, or just lazy staff, but removing the little benefits further reduces the value of the program and gives me more incentive to start paying more attention to competitive pricing. I recently spent a night at a Wyndham in Newark because it was half the cost of the Hilton.

I m basically Vaibhav Deshmukh.Earlier I ve subcribed with the name "Vaibhav_deshmukh".But with your new naming convetions I tried to give "Vaibhav Deshmukh" But it said this username already exists.So I had to give "vaibhav punekar" as currently I m residing in "Pune" city in India.Now many of my friends are not able to recognize me with this name.they think this "Vaibhav Punekar" is somebody different bloody.So can you please restore my name to original.ie "Vaibhav Deshmukh" without removing "Ranch Hand" and making me again "Green Horn".If possible please make the requisite changes and restore my name.Sorry for the Inconvenience.

There is a person registered as "vaibhav deshmukh" (no underscore) whose info is found
. If that is you, you can retrieve your password (assuming you've forgotten it) by selecting the "Forget your password" link found on any page that asks for a pasword. The password will be e-mailed to the registered address,
in this case. If that's not you, then unfortunately you can't have the name you want; it's been taken by someone else before you. I suggest creating a new ID which is similar to the one you want, but different enough to be accepted as a unique name. Perhaps "Vaibhav Punekar Deshmukh", "Vaibhav P. Deshmukh", or something similar.
Unfortunately, there is no way for us to transfer your total posts as "Vaibhav Punekar" to another account. If you want to create a new account, the total posts will start at zero. Our software simply doesn't support other options here. Sorry for the inconvenience; however I'm confident you can reach 30 posts again in short order if you put your mind to it. Hope this helps...

This id belongs to me only.I m the one who has mail id
id I created before I cleared
during my study time for SCJP preparation.But then I forgot my user name and so had to create new id.So in this case my earlier postings should be added to this id postings.My username,password is same.I think even the other info will also be same.I do not want to create another account and add to the mess.So if possible get my name changed to "Vaibhav Deshmukh" keeping me "ranch Hand "only.
Thanks for immediate reply.

Vaibhav- As I said above, it simply is not possible to add your posting total as "vaibhav punekar" to another account. Note that you do
need to create a new account; simply post using the old "vaibhav deshmukh" account. Retrieve your password as necessary usin the above instructions.

Vaibhav - you wont get "promoted" past ranch hand because of the number of posting you submit. You get invited to become bartender or sherrif based on what you have done for the Java Ranch community.

Then it is not that much easy to become bartender.I would not like to be the one if I m not that much helpful.I am learning Java technologies now.I m new in this field deviated from Mechanical Engg. degree.I m always hungry for knowledge and like to update myself.I become many a times tensed if I m not able to achieve my goal.I m a learner at this stage.I ve not gathered that much exp to help others that much.I always try to draw sth for myself through this forum.From few days back only I ve started helping others if I see I know about it.And enjoying it a lot.Only thing is that in our office it is strict rules about the internet access.It is for limited period only.So I m not continuously online.I do not have connection at home as well.Planning to get it within a month.Still whenever possible I would like to contribute.But may not be that much expected by Sheriffs because of work pressure and limited access.
Thanks for making me aware of this.Anyhow I m working on Servlets/JSP mainly.I m to become expert in anything yet.

You don't need to be an expert in anything to help out ... sometimes a question just appears that you know the answer too.
Being a bartender /Sheriff brings a lot of responsibility with it. Few of us are online ALL day but I do find my self spending more and more time here.
Pounding at a thick stone wall won't move it, sometimes, you need to step back to see the way around.

Smith & Williamson names co-chiefs & chair in boardroom overhaul
by Robert St George on Sep 25, 2013 at 07:00
The heads of investment management and tax services have been promoted to co-chief executives of Smith & Williamson, while the group's current deputy chairman will become chairman.
David Cobb (pictured) and Kevin Stopps, currently in charge of investment management and banking and tax and business services respectively, will become the joint bosses from 27 September 2013. On the same date, Andrew Sykes will become chairman of the board.
In addition to their roles as co-chief executives, Cobb and Stopps will each remain responsible for the management of their respective divisions.
The moves follow the retirement of Gareth Pearce, Smith & Williamson's group managing director since 1995 and chairman since 2000.
Cobb and Stopps characterised their joint ambition for the firm as 'evolutionary, not revolutionary'.
As well as being co-chief executives, they will each remain responsible for the management of their respective divisions.
'The depth and breadth of our services is unique among firms of our size, and we believe that this, coupled with our commitment to excellent and thoughtful client service, represents a very compelling offer for clients,' Cobb said.
'David and I are excited to lead the firm in the next phase of its evolution, driving the growth of one business with complementary service lines,' Stopps added.
'We continually seek to enhance the way our people work together to provide the comprehensive and integrated service to clients for which we are known.'

It's what I named my blogroll. I put people on there because I love them or I love their blogs or both. And tonight, two of my very favorite bloggers (of course I play favorites!) and dear friends said random, unrelated things that made me feel their amore for me, big time. Just minor mentions of things in the greater contexts of posts, but seriously, you have no idea how special I feel right now.
So I link to their posts.
The first is called Playing Tag with The Moose, in which the always lovely, amazing, and humble Sailor writes a little about her experience with Canvas.
The second is A Hot Mess, where, in the midst of recounting some very serious frustrations about doctors' offices, therapists, insurance, and job situations, my sweet and wonderful friend Angel slips in a compliment that just floored me.
By the way, if you aren't already, you should be reading these ladies as part of your regular blogging diet. Not because they say such kind things (though I love them for it), but because they write brilliantly and honestly and bravely.
Angel and Sailor, I love you both dearly! Thank you for making my night.
You have made me happier than I am when I bake chocolate chip cookies.
I should send you both chocolate chip cookies!

How Good Can the Bulls Be Next Season Without Derrick Rose?
The Chicago Bulls are hard to figure, as they are injured and depleted but also well-coached. This is quite the conundrum for anyone attempting to handicap a Chicago season.
They've been the Eastern Conference's second-best team (first best, record-wise) these past two seasons, but we may witness a significant downturn in Tom Thibodeau's third year.
Even the biggest Thibodeau fan would have to acknowledge that he will be tested. Derrick Rose will be out much of the year due to a serious knee injury, and the Bulls—quite the bench-dependent squad—are losing bench players to free agency.
Chicago is about to face, perhaps, its most trying adjustment since Michael Jordan left the game.

Jana Kinsman
Hi! I'm Jana Kinsman. I'm an illustrator, beekeeper
and graphic designer in Chicago, IL. Here's my website with my illustration work.
I created Bike·a·Bee, an urban beekeeping project that places beehives with community gardens all over Chicago and tends to them by bicycle. It was a very successful Kickstarter project, here's some press about it. I update the Facebook page fairly regularly. @bikeabee, too.
I'm 1/5 of Quite Strong, a female design collaborative that's been serving the design community since early 2010. We're always up to something... in the spring of 2012 we threw Moxie Conference, and we'll probably do it again!
I also created Doodlebooth which offers hand-drawn in-person portraits at events like weddings and corporate parties. It's the most fun job in the world, basically. Sometimes on Thursdays I'll draw whatever you want for $5.
Send me an email, tweet @reallylikeit, or give me a call at 630 234 5347 if you're interested in working together or want to talk about trees.

Maureen Costello Wholesale Distributor In your opinion what are some of the worst mistakes entrepreneurs can fall into? |
One of the worst mistakes an entrepreneur can fall into is becoming complacent when you're successful and things are going well. It's easy to sit back and let things just go on autopilot and maybe not think in terms of the future, especially if you have a very successful business going on. I think you have to be careful not to have all your eggs in one basket. Not to have only one big customer because if that customer goes away, your business goes away. Not to be totally dependent on anyone vendor nor be dependent on any one or two employees so that if you lose them your business doesn't function. You have to diversify with product, customer and employees, so that you have a business that is ongoing and won't fall apart if just one of those things goes away. |

The State of NJ has had control of the inner city schools for 17 years. Now they are yelling at their teachers that the MUST improve or be fired. There is something delusional here. If a CEO ( or Governor) failed to improve the company ( or state) would he /she be yelling at the residents that it is their fault. Oh , Wait. Didn't Christie just do that ? Couch Potato? INSANE!
EVERYONE must suck it up and make a sacrifice- says the campaigner in chief. Does he use the limo to get him off the tarmac as well . The problem is his mouth. He never shuts up . The louder he yells the more we realize what his fellow Republicans in Morris County found out - he is a USER!
John Derbyshire? You have GOT to be kidding. This is one of the most racist pigs on the planet earth . If you are using him as a source - I pity you .
http://www.salon.com/2012/04/09/john_derbyshire_racist_hack_gets_canned/ Start here and read about your brilliant source of info.
There is no "secret agenda" . The dismantling of these schools will deliver enormous amounts of filthy lucre to Christie, Cerf, Eli Broad and his gang - hedge fund managers and on and on. There's no money to be made on what America manufactures, because they don't do that anymore. There's money to be made on renovating and remodeling schools, new tests ( we need more of those!!) text books technologies and YOWWZZZA --- it's the biggest gold rush ever. I would love to see a demonstration of how you improve your school with Cerf and Christie teaching in an inner city school for a month. Christie doesn't do anything but travel so he has the time. SHOW US! The state has been in charge of these schools for how long? NCLB just made it worse and they are leaving the TEACHERS totally out of the discussion.
Springsteen , it is said, dozes off when he hears of all the great achievements Christie has provided the people of this state. Usually the way to hear of these achievements is directly from Christie's mouth.
And the names go on and on. How about Kean? That's a good name! Frelinghyuysen? WOW. Biggest name in scam since 1700! Pay it forward to your kids so they never will work.
Look up Todd Christie and see who is into Wall Street shenanigans. Chris is his brother and the apple .......
Try and look what Walmart has done to this country , my friend. If they are your idols I am sorry for you .
Cite just ONE example of that , please.
I think I got a call from that Quinippiac company. If you push 1 ( in favor of Christie) they will give you a gift card for 25 dollars that you must use by tomorrow . I hope it comes today. Thank you very much.
Bill ( Robber ) Baroni?? He said WHAT ? Did Christie throw him a cookie ? ROFLMAO!
I wonder how he feels about the Spanish Inquisition?
Why did Palatucci wait this long to go to Israel on his own ? Were there no flights available?
The reason that Phys Ed teachers make that much is that the community WANTS their kids to have 15 different sports available. They need buses and uniforms and fields maintained . Blame that on NJEA why don't you? Those PE teachers are working second and third jobs. Would you have a problem with a music teacher who can't live in NJ where he teaches so gives lessons in the evening and on weekends? Can that music educator play in a band ? Can other teachers tutor, wait on tables , power wash decks? This is nonsense. If you want special programs in schools you HAVE to pay for it. Does that make sense?
Referendum, eh? Can we get a chance to vote on YOUR civil rights "Opie- uj -Barking mad?
As fas as him being a leader, I would suggest that he is more of a follower. ALEC is giving him his recipe . If you doubt that , try looking at other states like perhaps Wisconsin. The very same crapola is happening and almost exactly the same talking points -- word for word.
The other bit of information that none consider is that NJEA is more than just a salary negotiator. The cost of the teacher's convention is enormous. It offers a central location for educators to peruse the newest education products and a chance to speak to representatives of these companies. It is an enormous fair which also offers classes, discussion groups and seminars . No one seems to be mentioning all the printed materials , classes , performances etc that are offered to the educators. How about the well known All State Music programs? Yes, this too is in cooperation with NJEA. Here's a way for the states best musicians to perform together a couple of times. There is so much more to NJEA than its critics care to mention.
I'm not good at these kinds of questions but I 'm going to try A -hole and simpleton for $100!
Or lapdog!
Well, after he comes back , I am sure all the promises he made about lower property taxes( mine went UP bigtime) , education reform ( using the blow up everything and throw in some private outfit that has NO credibility yet sucks the taxpayer bucks right out of already achieving schools), healthcare for all and making sure all the roads and bridges in this state are repaired. I am counting on that. I bet you are too. Let's all have a hemlock cocktail while waiting for His Heinous to achieve anything.
And As a 12 year old, you would know!

In-depth BiographyCompton's own Game (aka the Game and Hurricane Game) issued his debut LP, The Documentary, in 2004 through Aftermath/G-Unit/Universal. With everyone from Dr. Dre and 50 Cent to Nate Dogg, Kanye West, and Just Blaze contributing to the album, The Documentary made it clear from the outset that geographic squabbles weren't a part of Game's agenda. Rapping hadn't been at first, either. Having gotten involved in the drug trade after a rough childhood, it took being shot during a home invasion to cause an epiphany in Game. Inspired by N.W.A, The Chronic, Doggystyle, and classic albums from 2Pac, the Notorious B.I.G., and Jay-Z, Game began rapping in 2001 and never looked back. His barbed and bold freestyles caught the ear of Dre, who signed him to Aftermath in 2003 and executive-produced his debut. It was delayed a few times, but The Documentary finally dropped in January 2005.
Soon Game and 50 Cent were at war over the former's reluctance to beef with any and every enemy of G-Unit. Freestyles and mixtapes were spawned in amazing amounts from both sides, and every time a truce seemed possible, things fell apart at the last minute. Dr. Dre was stuck in the middle, and while he never publicly denounced Game, he passed on working with the rapper for his next effort. Despite Dre's absence, Game's sophomore release kept its original title of Doctor's Advocate when it was released in late 2006. Two years later, LAX was released. With fewer mentions of Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, the uneven album found the rapper moving on from his previous obsessions. After periods of retirement talk, the MC had a change of heart and began recording The R.E.D. Album ("R.E.D." being short for "rededicated"). After several delays and the release of numerous promotional singles, the album was released in August 2011. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi

Life is Awesome
Last night I was sitting together with my girlfriend and we were talking about stuff. I told her about inspiring videos on the internet. We stumbled upon the videos of the RSA and later about TED talks. I wanted to show her one to make clear what they are about. Then we started to watch Neil Pasricha's talk about the three A's of awesome. Neil is the author of the blog 1000 Awesome Things. We couldn't stop watching his incredibly inspiring talk.
Today is my birthday, it's time to celebrate life. This talk contains so much truth that I don't want to lose any more words on it. Just watch it:

Using Aspersa to capture diagnostic data
I frequently encounter MySQL servers with intermittent problems that don't happen when I'm watching the server. Gathering good diagnostic data when the problem happens is a must. Aspersa includes two utilities to make this easier.
The first is called 'stalk'. It would be called 'watch' but that's already a name of a standard Unix utility. It simply watches for a condition to happen and fires off the second utility.
This second utility does most of the work. It is called 'collect' and by default, it gathers stats on a number of things for 30 seconds. It names these statistics according to the time it was started, and places them into a directory for analysis.
Here's a sample of how to use the tools. In summary: get them and make them executable, then configure them; then start a screen session and run the 'stalk' utility as root. Go do something else and come back later to check! A code sample follows.
$ wget http://aspersa.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/stalk
$ wget http://aspersa.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/collect
$ chmod +x stalk collect
$ mkdir -p ~/bin
$ mv stalk collect ~/bin
$ vim ~/bin/stalk # Configure it
$ screen -S stalking.the.server
$ sudo ~/bin/stalk
Inside the 'stalk' tool, you'll see a few things you can configure. By default, it tries to connect to mysqld via mysqladmin and see how many threads are connected to the server. If this increases over 100 (a sample number you should almost certainly change), or if it can't connect to mysqld, then it fires off the 'collect' tool, or whatever else you configure it to execute.
The 'collect' tool, by default, captures a variety of things including disk usage, cpu usage, internal status from mysqld, and even oprofile (which it saves using the standard oprofile save feature; you must use opreport to get your report later). There is also a commented-out section to run GDB if you want stack traces. This is not enabled by default because that'll freeze mysqld briefly. Usually this is OK if mysqld is already unresponsive during the problem!
3 Responses to 'Using Aspersa to capture diagnostic data'
I want to use this. I have hacked together things in the past for this and want something less messy.
I have greatly enjoyed the benefits of using the collect utility and recommend it others. I did not implement the stalk feature though, but took a parallel path integrating it with Nagios. By utilizing event handlers one can execute remote scripts when an event occurs (i.e. replication check is critical). For additional info: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html

Appear, Conjure, Emerge, Hyperlink, Insert, Introduce, In-Page
Frustrated with a developer's productivity, Pam logs into the version control system and sees a "Project Committers" table. Each row includes a developer's name and photo, and Pam immediately clicks on one of those names. The row expands out to reveal a mini-summary of the developer's project activity, and a bunch of links to further content.
Ajax Apps often respond to user requests by providing new content.
To encourage interaction with the system, content should be shown quickly and without distraction.
Page reloads slow down interaction, break concentration, and obscure the nature of whatever changes that have occurred.
Provide Microlinks that open up new content on the existing page rather than loading a new page. Microlink is an Ajaxian upgrade of the traditional hyperlink. Most often, it entails fetching some content from the server with an "XMLHttpRequest Call" and inserting it on the page. The content is usually a tightly-scoped block of "Microcontent", though it need not be - a Microlink could be used to open a whole page of content, for example.
The term Microlink here should not be taken as a literal translation of textual hyperlinks. It's used to represent any form of content being inserted into the page. The trigger might be something as subtle as a form field focus event.
Microlinks can be used in many contexts:
Microlinks can open a "Popup" to augment a particular word or phrase. Some conventional websites provide glossary lookups in a popup window. A Microlink could instead be used to place a small explanation directly next to the term.
Microlinks can be used to drill down, by expanding out successively deeper levels of content. You could show all teams in a football league, each expanding to a list of players, each expanding to a list of games, and so on.
Microlinks can let the user switch content around on the page, useful if the Microlinks are included in a "Drilldown". around.
The name Microlink refers to the subtle effect it has on interaction flow, and carries several benefits over the full-blown page refresh caused by a standard hyperlink:
There is much less to transfer because only the new content is loaded, rather than the whole page having to be reloaded. Also, the browser need only make a few changes to the DOM, as opposed to re-rendering the whole page.
To the user, a page reload is distracting.
The user is able to watch as an element appears on the page. Visual effects can be used to further improve change detection.
A technical benefit is that the browser-side application's state - as held in the DOM - is retained, whereas a page reload destroys it all.
Microlink usually involves an "XMLHttpRequest Call" followed by a "Page Rearrangement". Often, a new div is created and appended to a container element. As a variant, sometimes the Microlink refers to something already on the page, so the Microlink causes the script to make it visible, or to scroll towards it (using document.scrollto).
A Microlink inserts new content to the existing page, and you obviously can't keep piling on content forever. Furthermore, you need to remove the clutter so that new content is more salient. At some point, you'll have to clean up existing content, and you'll need to decide how that happens. Typical strategies include:
The new content simply replaces the old content. The old content is overwritten, or the new content is added and the old content replaced.
A fixed-capacity content queue is set up, such that newer content displaces older content, which eventually disappears.
User must explicitly close all content.
Microlink presentation is tricky, because you want to leverage existing knowledge about hyperlinks, but without causing confusion. Many interfaces will combine Microlinks and hyperlinks (e.g. links to company homepages or external websites), and you don't want a situation where the user can't distinguish between them. Also keep in mind that Microlinks need not be word or phrases - they can, for example, be buttons or imagemaps.
You need to ensure users know Microlinks are clickable, and have some ability to predict what they'll see when that happens. To provide affordances an element is clickable, consider the following:
Change the cursor icon as the user hovers over the element - control this with its cursor style property.
Consider leveraging the conventions of hyperlinks, namely blue text (color style) and underlining (textDecoration style), though beware this may cause confusion as well.
Make the clickable region apparent visually, using cues like borders and different background colours.
Tiddlywiki is a wiki based around "Malleable Content" blocks. At any point in time, you're looking at a list of "Malleable Content" blocks. Each block contains text including hyperlinks to other "Malleable Content" as well as external sites. The external links are distinguished using a bold font. When you click on a Microlink, and the corresponding context doesn't yet exist, it is inserted just below the block containing the Microlink. If it does exist, the window is scrolled to show the content. See the examples in "Malleable Content" and "One-Second Mutation" for more details.
A great application for Microlinks is the tabbed content metaphor, where different blocks of content are shown as tabs. The technique was popularised by Amazon in the late 1990s, and Ajax allows for the content in another tab to be downloaded without a page refresh. Tabtastic is a Javascript toolkit to incorporate tabs into your application, Micrlink-style. The website demonstrates how it's done (Figure 1.74, "Tabtastic").
Rpad provides an assortment of numerical analysis applications. Here, the linked content is not stored, but dynamically generated. Click on "Calculate" within the General Demo and you'll see several tables and graphs appear, freshly generated from the server.
GMail uses Microlinks to repeatedly switch main content around. There are Microlinks for all of your mailboxes, your contacts, for composing a new email, and so on.
The appearance is structured like most websites - fixed-size blocks on the top and left with links and search, and the main content on the bottom-right. However, most conventional websites achieve this fixed structure by continuously reloading the entire structure, even if only the main content changed. GMail, however, is an Ajax App, and only has to morph the main content area as each Microlink is clicked.
In TiddlyWiki, Microlinks are created as anchor elements, with a custom css class, "button". There's a general-purpose function to create buttons, and the link creator delegates to it. It passes in display information and also a function, onClickTiddlerLink to handle what happens when the user clicks:
var btn = createTiddlyButton(place,text,subTitle,onClickTiddlerLink,theClass);
Buttons are anchor elements rendered with a special CSS class, which provides a different appearance while being hovered over or activated:
.tiddler .button { padding: 0.2em 0.4em 0.2em 0.4em; color: #993300; } .tiddler .button:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #ccff66; background-color: #993300; } .tiddler .button:active { color: #ffffff; background-color: #cc9900; }
When the link is clicked on, the handler function inspects the event to determine the desired content:
function onClickTiddlerLink(e) { if (!e) var e = window.event; var theTarget = resolveTarget(e); var theLink = theTarget; ... }
The new "Malleable Content" can then be inserted. An algorithm determines where it will be placed and the createTiddler() function creates a new div to host the content. If animation is turned on, the new content block will appear to "leap out" from the hyperlink into its own region of the page, as detailed in "One-Second Motion". Otherwise, the window performs a straightforward scroll to the show the new content:
function displayTiddler(src,title,state,highlightText, highlightCaseSensitive,animate,slowly) { var place = document.getElementById("tiddlerDisplay"); var after = findContainingTiddler(src); // Which tiddler this one will be positioned after ... var theTiddler = createTiddler(place,before,title,state,highlightText, highlightCaseSensitive); if(src) { if(config.options.chkAnimate && (animate == undefined || animate == true)) anim.startAnimating(new Zoomer(title,src,theTiddler,slowly), new Scroller(theTiddler,slowly)); else window.scrollTo(0,ensureVisible(theTiddler)); } }
"Malleable Content" is a companion pattern, because microlinks are often used to conjure up "Malleable Content" blocks. however, a microlink can also produce a more complex structure too, such as the gmail links which switch all of the main page content.
The visual effects ("One-Second Spotlight", "One-Second Mutation", "One-Second Motion") help the user comprehend what's going on when a Microlink is clicked, as Tiddlywiki demonstrates.
The categories in a "Drilldown" are a kind of Microlink, as they cause the "Drilldown" content to change without a page reload.
A "Live Form" can include Microlinks to more advanced controls, and also to content which supports the user's decision-making.
