Nike football. Nike soccer. According to Forbes Nike is the world's second most valuable sports brand after the TV network ESPN. Nike entered the soccer scene relatively late. In the early 1990s soccer gear made up an insignificant share of the total revenues of Nike. By then Nike sold for some 20$ million dollars worth of soccer apparel , footwear , and equipment worldwide. By 2007 this number had grown to more than 1.5$ billion dollars and while still growing the soccer business was already being an important source of revenue. Nike achieved this spectacular growth primarily through 3 distinct factors: endorsements , product developments , and production & distribution. While endorsements by teams and athletes of sports wear companies had been around for quite some time the significance of these endorsement became more crucial during the 1980s in US sports and in soccer during the 1990s with more and broader TV coverage, increased interest by the public in professional sports , the professionalisation of sports, and the growing fan culture. Nike achieved spectacular success by the endorsement of Michael Jordan of its´ sneakers which would set the tone for the whole industry over the years to come. Tentatively Nike signed deals with Paris Saint-Germain (France) in 1989 and Dortmund (Germany) in 1990. The big push into soccer would not come until the mid-1990s though when the company realized that sooner or later continued growth would come primarily from oversea's markets rather than from North America. While Nike sold for 20$ per capita in the USA in the late 1990s it only sold for 5 or 6 $ per capita in European countries and even less in the developing world. A part from North America and Oceania - the world plays soccer and soccer is the by far most popular sport globally. Therefore any push to expand across the world not just in soccer gear but in all lines would come through increased awareness of the brand which would best be achieved through a dominant position in the soccer market. Of the 24 teams participating in the World Cup 1994 in the USA - 0 teams played in Nike not even the US national team. 4 years later in 1998 6 teams played in Nike. Nike's 4 top team national teams which were all signed around 1996 are Brazil , Holland , Portugal , and the USA. Nike also started to sign deals with individual soccer players to wear Nike boots. Below one can see an outline of the development in the Nike jerseys and namekits throughout the past 4 major international tournaments. Starting in 2011 also France will wear a Nike uniform.

Portugal 2004/06
Holland 2008/10

By the late 1990s and after that Nike had secured a number of national teams to wear its jerseys Nike started to sign deals with many European soccer clubs. In US sports the league signs athletic gear and technical sponsor deals on behalf of all clubs. Thus all NFL teams play in Reebok. All NBA teams play in Adidas etc. In Europe each club signs its' own deal. Nike signed up with Arsenal (England) starting from the season 1994/95 , Inter Milan (Italy) 1998/99 , FC Barcelona (Spain) 1998/99 , Valencia (Spain) 2000/01. The basic strategy was to get the or one of the top teams from any one country since the European market is still segmented along the lines of the nation states. If the top team was currently not available and locked up in a long-term deal with another company Nike would wait until the contract expired and then make a bid for taking over.

In the first decade of the 21st century Nike would sign deals or had already signed deals with a number of other clubs in various European countries such as Spartak Moscow (Russia) , FC Porto (Portugal) , Steaua Bucharest (Romania) , PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands) , and Sparta Prague (Czech Republic). Atletico Madrid would join the ranks of Nike sponsored clubs in 2001 and two of the world's biggest clubs would follow shortly. Manchester United was taken over from Umbro after 10 years in Umbro in 2002 and Juventus was taken over from Lotto for the season 2003/04. While the big rush of expansion was over by then there are still minor adjustments taking place from time to time. Celtic (Scotland) became a Nike team in 2005 and Aston Villa (England) in 2007. Nike is now the kit sponsor for 4 out of the world's 10 biggest clubs by revenue: Deloitte Football Money League

Likewise is Nike sponsoring a number of clubs and individual soccer players in other parts of the world. Boca Juniors from Buenos Aires in Argentina , Flamengo from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil , Corinthians from Sao Paulo in Brazil etc. Nike is sponsoring 9 out of the 25 top soccer brands in the world according to Forbes: soccer team valuations
But while grabbing attention from the display of colourful uniforms is important soccer (or football) is a game played by the feet and by kicking a ball. Therefore in order to become a market leader in soccer gear it is necessary to have a strong presence in the footwear market and to a less extent in the production of soccer balls. In the beginning Nike had some trouble catching up with the likes of Adidas and Puma when it came to technical prowess. But in 1998 Nike launched the first pair of mercurial vapor boots which changed the industry around. Rather than being made of leather as traditional boots the mercurial vapor was made from a very light and artificial material. This gave the player increased speed and better ball control. Nike produces a number of lines of boots to meet different demands. Some of the better known models of Nike soccer boots are shown here.
Nike Tiempo Air Legend boots
Nike Tiempo Ronaldinho boots
Nike Mercurial Vapor boots
Nike Total 90 Laser boots
While it has been difficult for Nike to gain prominence in the production , marketing , and branding of soccer balls since Adidas is running longterm deals with both the UEFA and FIFA Nike has secured deals to produce the balls for the UEFA Cup , the Spanish LFP , the English Premier League , and the Italian Serie A. Nike soccer balls:
Premier League soccer ball
La Liga soccer ball
Serie A soccer ball
UEFA Cup soccer ball

Wolfe City Brick Oven Pizza's artisan chefs flip, top, and bake thin-crust masterpieces cloaked in a choice of six different cheeses. The multitudinous menu imparts the memoir of pizzas made from whole-wheat dough ($9.99), which features the recurring characters of fruits, meats, and veggies ($1.50 each traditional, $2.50 each gourmet) and conveys a delicious dénouement. Those who prefer pre-designed pies can sample expertly concocted combos such as the Two Men from Tuftonboro's italian sausage and pepperoni ($14.99) or the Wolfe City Nacho Pizza's bacon, veggies, and alfredo sauce ($14.99). Dessert pizzas assume the identities of classic post-dinner bites, including bananas foster ($12.99) and s'mores ($8.99), and beers, wines, and sodas slake artichoke-induced thirsts. Wolfe City's chefs can convert dough into gluten-free compositions quicker than Clark Kent's switch into Superman or Spiderman's transformation into Sir Edmund Hillary ($12.99).
Though he's catered for Oprah and won Steven Tyler over with his meatballs, Lou Marzelli can still take the time to fill a family table. Dishes of lasagna, chicken parmesan, and penne in housemade marinara come to fruition out of recipes handed down through the Marzellis' Italian-native family every day in their New York–style deli. A gleaming deli case brims with Boar's Head meats and cheeses ready to be sliced and stuffed into hearty wedge sandwiches. whereas pizzas proudly hold toppings such as genoa salami, fresh basil, or the crumbled remains of lesser pies. Breakfast selections are served all day alongside locally roasted espresso drinks, and 36 flavors of housemade gelato and sorbetto—such as stracciatella, strawberry, and tiramisu—put a sweet finish on Italian helpings.
The original owner of the picturesque two-story house—a daffodil-hued farmhouse with hunter-green shutters and a matching front door—invited guests into his makeshift tavern for a bowl of porridge and a nap at 12 cents a pop. More than 220 years later, the house in Bristol still entertains a revolving door of guests as The Homestead Restaurant. Inside, a brick fireplace radiates warmth across tables scattered with teriyaki-glazed steaks and alaskan king-crab legs dipped in drawn butter. The chefs also swaddle meatloaf wellington in a puff-pastry shell, and peppercorns burst sharply across sirloin with brandy and cream sauce. A dedicated gluten-free menu caters to diners with health issues or a tendency to remember the terrifying dinner-roll scene in Jaws.
A second location of The Homestead Restaurant in Merrimack is just as inviting inside with exposed wooden beams, an antlered chandelier, and a second-floor bar affording a perfect eagle's-eye view of the tables below.
The Green Mountains, a branch of the ancient Appalachians stretching across Vermont, are named for the layers of stately evergreens that carpet their slopes. Deep in the verdant hillsides, the town of Chittenden is near the Green Mountain National Forest with infinite vistas for hiking, mountain biking, and game hunting. The Coolidge and Okemo State Forests are also about an hour away by car.For a taste of history, the nearby towns of Killington and Rutland boast charters dating to 1761, before the creation of Vermont itself. Throughout the warmer months, downtown Rutland's weekly farmers' markets offer a place to shop for regional goods such as Vermont maple syrup and alpaca weavings. The area also hosts frequent outdoor concerts and other family-friendly events, many of them free.Read the Fine Print for important info on travel dates and other restrictions.
At Fratello's, a wood-fired brick oven bakes bubbles into pizza dough as chefs sauté shrimp with fresh garlic, butter, and white wine. Aside from serving nine varietals of pizza, the 16,000-square-foot restaurant stays busy cooking up the hearty sandwiches, pasta dishes, and antipasto that fill their menu of casual Italian eats. Connected to the restaurant is an event facility, where Fratello's caters events such as weddings, holiday parties, and baby's-first-burp celebrations.
Tucked into the rolling greenery of the White Mountains, The Woodshed Restaurant resides in a converted 19th-century farmhouse and barn. The decor reflects the rustic charm of the setting, but the menu features plenty of modern treats. Chefs coat duck breast and confit leg in a cherry port wine reduction, or age steak tips in a sweet bourbon marinade. Though inland, they're still close enough to the sea to get fresh scallops, which they wrap in applewood bacon and serve alongside fire-roasted corn salsa. They follow up meals with all-American desserts such as apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, Denver chocolate pudding, and the chef's choice of flavored cheesecake.
Chuckster's draws in fun-seekers of all ages with its sprawling haven of outdoor games, activities, and attractions. With 12,000 square feet of emerald carpet darting in between nine streams and ponds and 1,000 tons of boulders, Chuckster's remarkably long mini-golf course challenges putters with water features and inclines. Across the grounds, straining knuckles steer two-seat go-karts around the speedway, swing at fast- or slow-pitched balls at the batting cages, and grip onto colorful holds to ascend the 27-foot climbing wall. Duos can square off in a game of Shoot-N-Shower, a timed free-throw shooting challenge where the player who sinks the fewest freebies gets doused with water and scolded by an omnipotent Reggie Miller. Picnic tables nestled in the cool shade of umbrellas cradle patrons as they rejuvenate with ice cream, frappes, and soft drinks after a day at play.

Sakura Swish
Tom Smith on the band behind Bleach's 21st Ending Theme
SunSet Swish held their first-ever live performance on Valentine's Day 2004, at a small venue in Osaka Prefecture's Hirakata city. A fitting introduction to the music world for a band whose claim to fame is having quite possibly the soppiest theme in
history: 'Sakurabito'.
Broken Walls
Tom Smith dives in to the band behind Naruto Shippuden Box 15
Who's NICO, and what's their obsession with walls? It's a question you may ask yourself upon discovering the artist name behind Naruto Shippuden's eighth opening theme. They call themselves NICO Touches the Walls and, despite the ridiculous name, they are a pretty big deal in Japan right now.
Movember Madness
Moustaches, moles and movies, in our 21st podcast
Jeremy Graves is joined by Jerome Mazandarani and Andrew Hewson for a run-down of what's coming up and what's going on.
Fam, the Silver Wing
Matt Kamen returns to the Gonzo world of airships and skybikes
The original
Last Exile
series is an undeniable joy – gorgeously animated, wildly imaginative, and just plain fun. Its steampunk-inspired setting, filled with unlikely flying machines and technological marvels, recalled the likes of Studio Ghibli's
Laputa, Castle in the Sky
. The 26-episode run followed pilot Claus Valca and navigator Lavie Head, a pair of sky couriers on the planet Prester whose cargo – the mysterious girl Alvis Hamilton – proved to be the key to ending a long-running war between the rival nations of Anatoray and Disith.
Last Exile's
beautiful world and delightful character designs by famed illustrator Range Murata made the series a fan-favourite.
Roberta's Blood Trail
Hugh David returns to the Black Lagoon
Dutch, Benny, Rock and Revy are back for one more tough job as the Lagoon Trading Company of Roanapur, Thailand. Madhouse Studios adapted the four manga volumes covering the last arc of Rei Hiroe's action-packed manga before its 2010 hiatus as five videos, released in Japan across 2010 and 2011, and there does not seem to have been much of a drop in quality from the first two seasons of Black Lagoon.
Surf's Up
Tom Smith on 'Mad Surfer' Kenichi Asai
"Try 'n boogie, guns n' tattoo" – there's no greater embodiment of Kenichi Asai's work than that opening line. As the words are dragged across the bluesy, rock n' roll riff of Mad Surfer – the Japanese rebel's song used as the 20th closing of
– it's difficult not to imagine smoke filled bars, motorcycles or leather jacketed misfits sporting hairdos your mother wouldn't approve of.
Party Magic
Tom Smith on the music behind Fairy Tail 5
It's been said that two's company, three's a crowd. But for Japanese electro-pop duo AIRI and Koshiro, two is more than enough to party – to MAGIC PARTY! At least if the cutesy name of the pair's musical project is to be believed.
The Littlest Mermaid
Andrew Osmond on Miyazaki's Ponyo
Hayao Miyazaki aims his tenth animated feature at young children, with a cute magic character as its star – Ponyo, a perky red goldfish who turns into a little girl. Fans wondered if Miyazaki was remaking
My Neighbour Totoro,
his previous children's classic about a cute fantasy creature. But
, while delightful,
doesn't really feel like
nor like Miyazaki's other early films. There's an array of strange creatures and characters, an unpredictable plot, and offbeat ideas spun into cartoon spectacle.

SOURCE Inovateus Solar LLC
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Inovateus Solar LLC, a worldwide installer of commercial and industrial solar power systems, has embarked on a rooftop solar array project to be installed on McElroy Metal's Peachtree City, Georgia manufacturing location as part of the Medium Scale Georgia Power Advanced Solar Initiative Program.
Construction on the project begins the week of September 29, 2013. The 500 kW array is scheduled to be commissioned before Christmas of this year. A live construction camera of the project will be available at the Inovateus Solar website to view the progress.
This 500 kW project will be installed on the roof and on a canopy in McElroy's parking lot. "It is the largest solar installation for a metal roofing manufacturer," stated Inovateus Solar Project Manager, Peter Rienks. "McElroy is really stepping up to the plate to incorporate renewables into their product offering."
McElroy has 12 manufacturing facilities across the U.S. Through its partnership with Inovateus Solar, McElroy now manufactures ready to install solar panels fully integrated into steel panel systems and offers solar kits with their metal roofs.
McElroy Metal President, Ian McElroy said, "We are very excited to be installing a half megawatt photovoltaic system on our Peachtree City facility. The existing metal roof is over 34 years old and consists of galvanized R panel. We will be retrofitting with our 238T symmetrical standing seam system, which provides an excellent metal over metal reroof solution. And, since we were installing a new roof, we decided to explore adding solar. With the help of our solar partner, Inovateus Solar, we were able to put together a plan that made financial sense."
"We are excited about starting this project under the Georgia Power Advanced Solar Initiative Program," said Inovateus Solar President T.J. Kanczuzewski. "This is another example of how public utilities and private companies can work together to introduce more renewable energy alternatives into the power generation mix."
Since 1963, McElroy Metal, Inc. has been a leading manufacturer of metal roofing, metal siding, and sub-structural components. McElroy's product line includes a wide variety of architectural standing seam roofing systems as well as many industrial and commercial wall and roof panels.

I've decided to switch to Mweb Uncapped (384k) as well. I canceled my Telkom internet yesterday. Currently using a Afrihost prepaid account. I've noticed that Afrihost's capped products have been noticeably slower, since they released their uncapped products. Hopefully, things will run much smoother with Mweb.

No. But only slightly faster.
38 * 60 = 2280kb per minute
2280 * 60 = 136800kb per hour
136800 / 1024 = 133.59375mb per hour
133.59375 / 1024 = 0.130462646484375Gb per hour
0.130462646484375 * 10 = 1.30462646484375GB in 10 hours.
So his speed is almost right?
EDIT: NVM... I'm gonna go an hero now, don't worry.
Last edited by Rah_Skill; 09-04-2010 at 05:45 PM.
Now I don't even want to an hero anymore after seeing that picture of Gordon Brown.
I will concede that 384k uncapped lured me in before waiting to see the outcome. But SAOL has yet to give me any real speed issues or any issues in general.
Pity I will not see this burst though.
Last edited by x-scon; 12-04-2010 at 04:24 PM. Reason: New Speed Test Added
Your second speed test is what a 384k line should look like in general.
the HTTP side of things really area flying most of the time, more so than when I had the Cybersmart account, which seemed to die every now and then (although with Cybersmart I wasn't throttled to hell and back on certain protocols).
Is it just me though or does it seem like Youtube and streaming things in general is actually slower than it should be ?
I don't have a problem with the shaping of protocols at certain times, just as long as I can have maximum speed with my streaming at all times.
Trying to talk my dad into this , but I have a question.
Is this completely uncappped , as in unlimited cap? I can download anything from 3GB a month to 1000GB , Or are there some restrictions?
There is NO CAP meaning DOWNLOAD AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. But I think that MWEB throttles your line at certain points depending on how much you have downloaded.
Example: At 20GB they may make your line slower by 10%, then at 40GB make you line 20% slower. (This is just an example)
Totally forgot about this thread.
So when I got home Afrihost had already sorted out my internet. Tested it out and it was brilliant (this was during the Easter weekend so I presume there must have been high traffic with so many people off work).
Downloaded the Warhammer trial which is 1.2gb in about 1.5-2hrs. Thought it was pretty awesome so to do further testing I hooked it up to my Xbox and downloaded practically every demo on the Marketplace.
It downloads surprisingly faster on the Xbox with a 4.5gb download taking about 2hrs-2.5hrs, but perhaps that is due to the servers.
Unfortunately I did not get a speedtest.net while I was there but I'll make sure to take one next time.
Definately worth the money, and it worked out cheaper than Telkom by a longshot. (I used to have a 4gb 4MB account with Telkom). Nothing but praises about Afrihost from me so far! :)

There were 1,843 Sunday schools, 13,304 officers and teachers, and 87,867 students. Today as in former years, Negroes still receives from ruling whites more encouragement and approbation in their church organization and building programs than in any other group enterprise. This and other factors have resulted in a Negro near monopoly of the white man's religious faiths. For example, "in proportion to population and actual church membership, Negroes have twice as many churches as whites."1 This has resulted in so much rivalry and duplication of effort that it has been jokingly observed that "Baptist and Methodist Churches are like the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph. Where one is found the other is not far away."2 In 1930 the Baptist denomination owned church buildings in the State valued at $3,275,174, thus ranking first by sheer weight of numbers; the Methodist Episcopal

"A vibrant portrait of the state of the art in Canadian new music.
"With its collection qb, the Bozzini Quartet gives life to the diverse aesthetics of our time. The music in this collection forms a continuous line: without imposing an aesthetic stance, these discs follow a deep yet ineffable continuity of purpose. Each disc is a window, an opening into a singular world: the soul of a place, a common artistic language, or the distinct vision of an artist. The thirteenth volume of the collection presents a 31-part mosaic which is both portrait and landscape: a vibrant portrait of the state of the art of Canadian new music, and at the same time an undulating landscape of 31 paths, at once divergent, overlapping, merging, opposing.
"À chacun sa miniature" is the first disc of the Bozzini Quartet dedicated entirely to emerging artists. This collection of miniatures was written in 2011 to celebrate the Bozzini Quartet's studio-lab for the next generation, the Composer's Kitchen.
Held annually in Montreal since 2005, this event is a combination workshop, laboratory, playground, and master class. The quartet and two experienced composers observe the work of six up-and-coming composers over the course of a week. Their compositions are read, played, assessed, analyzed, workshopped, played again, and performed in the closing concert. This laboratory gives young composers a unique opportunity to perfect their craft with professional musicians.
With this disc, the Bozzini Quartet collaborates again in 2011 with 31 young composers, each of whom are alumni of the Composer's Kitchen between the years 2005 and 2010. Within each piece, one can hear traces of exchanged ideas, sprouting from the lasting friendships made in the hothouse of intensity created by the Composer's Kitchen experience. One can also hear the results of a now long-term relationship between composer and quartet, where technical expertise and aesthetic values are debated and shared over the years.
The composers generously gave their time and talent to write these miniatures, which were sponsored by the donations of over 100 community members in a large and exuberantly successful fundraising venture. With the help of the Placement Culture program of the Conseil des arts du Québec, the funds raised created a lasting endowment which will expand the commissioning activities of the quartet, support future Composer's Kitchen activities, and help ensure the longevity of the Bozzini Quartet's dedication to emerging composers in Canada. The Bozzini Quartet thanks the supporters and the composers for their generosity!" -Actuelle CD

The much talked about major developments planned for the Tsawwassen First Nation are beginning to take shape.
A private groundbreaking ceremony was held last month to mark the beginning of a housing development called Tsawwassen Shores.
The event had Chief Kim Baird joined by David Negrin of Aquilini Development, and others, for a ceremonial shovel in the ground to mark construction of a sales office and show home. To go on sale this fall, several hundred homes will be constructed in a number of phases.
The housing will be built at the current location of the F440 Racing Challenge go-kart track, whose lease has been bought out. The business will close at the end of September, although nearby Splashdown Park hasn't been affected.
The first phase of Tsawwassen Shores will be 42-lot subdivision just off Tsawwassen Drive. That rezoning application will be considered by the TFN government and a public hearing for TFN members to discuss the application will take place later this month.
Ed Chanter, the TFN's director of lands, said Tsawwassen Shores is the first of several housing developments planned.
The TFN's legislature approved a neighbourhood plan that will bring about 4,000 new residents over the coming decade. According that plan, 1,684 housing units are to be built. Although the neighbourhood concept has been approved, applications must still be submitted for the various developments.
Post-treaty property owners are no longer certificate of possession holders, but own their land fee-simple like any other property owner. The only stipulation is they can't sell their properties to non-TFN members.
"All these lands are owned fee-simple, so the various TFN members who own these primarily vacant lands behind Tsawwassen Drive had their lands listed with Colliers (International)," said Chanter.
Meanwhile, a groundbreaking ceremony is expected to take place sometime this year on a pair of major malls.
The TFN Economic Development Corporation last year announced it entered into an agreement with Ivanhoe Cambridge and Property Development Group to develop almost 1.8 million square feet of shopping and office space on 180 acres just off Highway 17 at 52nd Street.
Ivanhoe Cambridge's project would comprise 1.2 million square feet as a destination retail and entertainment centre. Called Tsawwassen Mills, it would follow the model of the huge CrossIron Mills shopping mall north of Calgary and Vaughan Mills north of Toronto.
Property Development Group is planning to develop an outdoor retail mall comprising 550,000 square feet called Tsawwassen Commons.
The TFN membership last year voted in favour of the partnerships, but at that time those deals were based on 49-year leases.
Following a "due diligence exercise" looking at the feasibility of the projects, the deals were changed to offer more land on 99-year leases, thus requiring another vote by TFN members. The membership voted in favour of the change in the deal earlier this year.
The malls are scheduled to open by 2015. On another front, the TFN government is also looking to build a waste-to-energy plant on an industrial section of the First Nation's property that already has the necessary zoning. That project, which is going through a Metro Vancouver selection process, would involve a partnership with another Aquilini company.
The First Nation has begun developing its industrial land and is working with Port Metro Vancouver to explore opportunities.

Average Rating:
nice ring -
kelly, pittsburgh - 05/11/2012
i'm a true 5.5 and order this in a 5 it fits amazing!!! i thought it would be more of a channel set so you could see a very tiny gaps between each stone but you can't...it's a very very pretty ring but it almost looks like stones are set into the band with the milgrain on the sides!! i ordered it 2 days ago and just got it today very quick shipping!!!!!
lovely and delicate -
Amy, Kansas City MO - 04/05/2012
I tried two other eternity bands from Eve's before settling on this one. It's very delicate and looks great on my small hands. (My ring finger is a size 5.5.) The finish on the band does give it an antique look and also makes it more interesting than other rings. Comfortable to wear, and sparkly and pretty.
Vintage look -
Heather, Highton,Australia - 03/17/2011
The detail on the edge is what gives this ring a vintage look. It looks like the real thing when I wear it next to other antique rings I own. Very happy with this purchase.
Just what I wanted -
lad, Lansdowne, PA - 02/26/2010
This ring is beautiful. The beading along the edge adds an antique look to the ring. I sometimes wear it as a wedding band. The stones are a little smaller than expected but it is still a beautiful ring.

And last week Marisa Mayer the CEO of Yahoo! essentially telling hundreds of -- employees that work remotely that if they don't move into the office they don't -- job.
And now -- -- of foxbusiness.com.
Really dig into this and you have.
Some more information about their decision yet still Marisa Mayer really -- -- who bear the torch for all working moms and she took this job at Yahoo! last year.
She admitted within the same day that she was actually pregnant and she famously took off only those two weeks when she had her -- September.
She's really ticked off the working mom community by ending their telecommuting policy last Friday in an internal memo on I was sent out.
To -- Yahoo! employees as of June it ought to start working in office.
-- to fuel the fire even more business insider is now saying that a Yahoo! employee reported to you all things.
That she -- in nursery built in her office can now -- on saying that it's unfair that she's ended this telecommuting policy and has this nursery.
For her sign in Iraq.
So I spoke to a couple of different people and it also -- -- Yahoo! is he was there and what's India -- at all surprising front page they don't comment on rumor is they said that they don't also they also don't comment on internal policy and that there.
Not -- a broad sweeping statement about.
Telecommuting in general but they're rather just trying say what's right for Yahoo! in this moment in time.
-- they say we don't discuss doesn't matter if not a broad industry view on working from home and it's about what's right for Yahoo! rates.
I agree with that.
I you still I mean.
Whether or not she hasn't nursery is going to be doubt she doesn't have a job and she's also the woman he's 37 he's heading up the tech company that's two glass ceiling is very -- she's from in -- so.
Some similar kind of saying -- break be -- I spoke to you John Challenger he's -- -- challenger gray and Christmas big staffing consultancy firm.
He said if she does have a her nursery in her office more power to her for building it she's trying to make a statement that Yahoo! is important to her if that was her -- -- she shouldn't be criticized for it.
She's coming in.
When she says sixty.

And it's not like they're cash flow positive like Google lives -- yeah more leniency to do things that.
Like she had there so.
I have to -- moms rising that the coalition forces elegant flat and probably hate this yes.
He's making new precedent this this is coalition of a million moms across the country so they actually weren't support of the nursery they said the same thing accountants had more power -- if she does happen because she's trying to -- to meet the demands of this really import and very visible job and she's trying to -- associated her family's important her.
But they said -- Heard telecommuting policy moved a step back in the 1950s and that anytime you roll back.
Family friendly business policies just bad for the company -- Close.
It's Italian meaning is the new trend is working for a lot of people and a lot of those employees.
Don't have access to an office so just going to -- didn't -- that she found it warrant has picked up productive yet and apparently there's been report that there that they were running companies on the -- because they had so much free time.
Working from home and -- also interesting to.
Challenger said that she's definitely taking more heat because she's a woman in this position and he said to me that anybody -- Warren Buffett has a corporate jet -- -- them back and forth now.
And of course they don't because it's expecting the CEO he has more.

Unique 100-year old beach home (circa 1906) - affectionately named The Hula House - with tropical/Hawaiian decor, 1.5 blocks to the beach. Bike down to Cape Henlopen State Park, walk into town and shop the eclectic boutiques along Main Street, drive 3 miles down the road to Rehoboth Beach's Boardwalk. Pet friendly for most "good dogs," sorry, no kitties.
We enjoy sharing The Hula House with family and friends - and the majority of our renters have become friends! We're very proud that over 85% of our renters choose to return to The Hula House as repeat guests. Please keep in mind that this is our vacation home filled with vintage decor and special accents, and our expectation is that guests treat the house respectfully, and collectively help to maintain it's character and cleanliness. We continually strive to update the house and make it a comfortable retreat for all that visit, which has helped us to maintain one of the highest number of summer AND off-season bookings in Lewes for over 10 years!! Thank you in advance for treating the house and furnishings as you would your own (or at least as you would a good friend's home). Well-behaved children, and most pups, are always welcome.
As with our own pups, dogs are not allowed free roam of the house. When indoors, they are restricted to the large kitchen, which has a HUGE kennel in it, and also a baby gate.

Providence Tarzana Medical Center has partnered with Children's Hospital Los Angeles to expand its pediatric care unit, hospital officials announced Tuesday.
The partnership will give Providence Tarzana access to Children's pediatric specialty expertise in the San Fernando Valley. Children's Hospital also will provide training and education to the Providence Tarzana staff, to complement its existing educational programs, officials said.
The agreement took effect Jan. 1 and is a first partnership of its kind for Children's, officials there said.
Called the Mozilo Family Foundation Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Providence Tarzana, the units will be operated jointly by the two hospitals, officials said.
"In creating this affiliation, we are ensuring that children in our community who need hospital care can receive the best possible treatment right here, near their parents," Dr. Cesar Chavarria, medical director of pediatrics for Providence Tarzana, said in a statement. "We are proud to blend our programs to offer this new level of pediatric care."
Pediatric patients at Providence Tarzana will continue to be cared for by their own physicians, who also will have access to Children's Hospital's resources. Children's Hospital is affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine at USC.
Providence Tarzana is reconfiguring its pediatrics program, which includes expanding the Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit from seven to eight beds.
The PICU expansion is being funded in part by a donation from the Phyllis and Angelo R. Mozilo Family Foundation.
Providence acquired Tarzana Regional Medical Center in 2008.

Not sure how well it works for GH release but it provides crazy deeeeeep sleep.
Before bed about 40 min after my late night meal I take:
1 glycobol
2 hyperdrol x2 (AX)
I can barely force myself out of the bed in the am. If I go back to sleep I am back in a deep sleep. And at night the sleep is crazy good. Just to check I stopped the glycobol for a few days and noticable difference. This has been good but bad in the fact I have to force myself out if bed if not I am out cold very quick.

Over 70 Granny Slut Sandra Ann – Her First Interracial Porn
Sandra Ann – sexy granny over 70-year-old – gets a big black cock to suck and fuck. This slutty grandma from 60 Plus Milfs loves to feel a huge penis in her old pussy and ass, so she takes that shaft in her mouth to make it hard and ready for her wet cunt. Sandra is 70 something slut and knows how younger men get attracted by her mature boobs, so she drops her bra and starts to rub her tits. That lucky guy licks and sucks her breasts while fingering her moist twat. She spreads her legs in white stockings and welcomes his manhood with lust…
"Josh kissed her ear and whispered 'I want to fuck you hard, not make love to you'.
He lifted her skirt up, ripping off her panties, throwing them on the floor; her white stockings had caused his dick to swell even more. When Josh placed his hand over her dripping old milf pussy Sandra let out a low moan and from that sound Josh saw that this hot grandma was ready for his big black cock.
He turned her around and pushed her against the bed, and slowly put his cock into her vagina, the way she liked it. He began with steady thrusts, and as soon as he could feel her mature cunt gripping and on the verge of climax, he began to ram his penis into her, constantly kissing, nibbling and licking her, he could see by the way she was losing control she was on her second orgasm. Sandra began to moan like a real slut she was.
She opened her eyes wide, when she felt his other hand slowly wiggling a finger into her tight ass, for Josh the look over took him and he suddenly came, hard, Sandra Ann could feel his pole pulsing in her and this also caused her to cum, yet again. When they had both finished…

In a national survey between November 30 and December 27, 2009, we find:
74% of American adults (ages 18 and older) use the internet -- a slight drop from our survey in April 2009, which did not include Spanish interviews. At that time we found that 79% of English-speaking adults use the internet.
60% of American adults use broadband connections at home – a drop that is within the margin of error from 63% in April 2009.
55% of American adults connect to the internet wirelessly, either through a WiFi or WiMax connection via their laptops or through their handheld device like a smart phone. This figure did not change in a statistically significant way during 2009.

Comments about Columbia Women's Pearl Plush II Fleece Jacket:
I am returning this product due to poor fit. For something that is meant to be worn over other articles of clothing, it is too small and short. I don't mind a jacket that has some shape to it, but this is too snug and form-fitting to be comfortable. Need a little room to breathe.

Women Who Fly
Portraits of female pilots
- By Rebecca Maksel
- AirSpaceMag.com, December 19, 2008
Carolyn Russo
Madge Rutherford Minton, Women Airforce Service Pilot (WASP)
Standing in her living room with objects she has collected from around the world. Indianapolis, Indiana, 1995.
"My parents were always saying, 'Control yourself, Madge, control yourself.' The first really strong wish as to the future came to me the first time I saw an airplane. I was sitting on the curb eating a piece of my grandmother's pie and this little plane was up maybe a couple or three thousand feet. It looked like a toy. I went in and I said, 'Mother, there's something up there and I want you to get it for me so I can play with it.'…
I guess aviation sort of became part of my subconscious. I was a student in college and I signed up for this civilian pilot training program and I was accepted, and my very first time in an airplane was my first flight lesson….
In January of 1943, I had a telegram asking me if I was interested in being a WASP, and that's the way it began. I was twenty-two years old, and had to report to Sweetwater, Texas, to the Avenger Air Field, for training….
I said I wanted to be in the Air Transport Command ferrying division. I would like to ferry hot planes and big planes, and I wanted to be assigned to Long Beach, California, because my fiancé was stationed at the naval hospital in San Diego….
I would have flown combat. I think this is the reason I've been so sympathetic to the contemporary women pilots about their problems. During that period of time, it was exactly the same point of justice I fought for in college. If they wanted to do it, let them do it. They earned it. I think women should have that privilege."

It was a great thing the WASPS did during WWII. I was a teenager when Germany and Japan surrendered and remember the great things they did!
Today, not in my Air Force career, women are flying again. This time in combat. Women C-130E crews are flying in Iraq and all the world. When I was flying C-130s I often told my wife "If you want to know where I am just read the headlines in the newspaper." These dedicated ladies are world travelers, just as we were in the 1960s and 1970s, often flying the same C-130 aircraft we flew.
Little has been said about their dedication and valor.
Their stories should be told in depth for posterity.
Posted by Lt.Col. Robert W. Ruffin Ret. on January 1,2009 | 01:49 PM
The women never got the respect for what they done during WW-2. I flew with the RAF when I was 13 years old front gunner in a Wellington Bomber on Atlantic Patrol. I was in the Air Training Corps. We had completed all our training including gunnery and were allowed to fly relatively safe missions when we were out of school in the Summer. Just immagine the thrill at 13 of being behind a pair or .05 twin Browning machine guns in a rotating turret.
We never did see a u-boat, but they were out there.
Years later when I had come to America in my mid 20's I learned to fly and wound up with a Commercial Multi Engine certificate # 1416814.
My greatest pleasure was flying my Luscombe 8A alone at night.
Posted by Robert A. Harbinson on February 19,2009 | 10:25 PM
I want say I am very glad we had women like you flying.Great job. I am 72 years old and retired air force and was in the maintenance area of aircraft.
Posted by charles cummings on December 16,2009 | 10:52 AM
Miss Wanda Brodowich was Winnipeg's first woman pilot,
and the first woman in Canada to get a commercial pilot's licence.
Posted by Edward T.Dolski on March 25,2010 | 01:47 PM
I found this small, old, aviation poster in a folder w/ a bunch of graphics from 1900-1933. There are two women pilots in it and i'd love to find out more about them and what this poster is commemorating. Can you guide me to where i might research it more?
here's pictures of it:

Monday, March 22, 2010
Over the weekend I released my MS--and all the monsters my pages contain--out into the world for my writing group to read. I also read some of their stuff. No literal monsters in their pages, but I think we all learned a valuable lesson this weekend:
The "monster" being your writing. That vicious beast that demands all your attention, needs to be fed daily, can't be exposed to sunlight--oh wait, that last one was gremlins. Never mind.
Your monster SHOULD see sunlight, or moonlight if you're a night owl. And go ahead, feed it after midnight, as long as it's not a mogwai.
One of my fabulous writing partner/friends, Megan Rebekah and I discussed how we always get new ideas or inspiration after we send out our pages for someone to read. We had a funny email conversation about it, so I thought I'd share it with you folks. (This is inside scoop. Behind-the-scenes wisdom. Some day people will pay good money for these gems of knowledge. Well, probably not, but Meg thought it was pretty funny, and afterward so did I.)
Me to Meg:
I'm telling ya, sending your MS out, even if its just a couple scenes, really gets things moving. I don't know how or why it happens, but it does. Maybe it's because someone besides us will DEFINITELY have an opinion about it. It's not just some little fuzzy creature hiding in the shadows of our computers. It's out in the open, people are watching it stroll down the streets, and we know they're going to comment, so our brains start working overtime to make it more lovable.
Every time I send something to you girls, or give it to my roomie, or best friend, or mom to read, ideas start shifting. I say even if you think your stuff is crap send it out, because that's when magic starts happening.
Meg's reply to Me:
OMG that's so awesome. Now I'm picturing Anomaly skipping down the sidewalk--a giant stack of paper with legs and arms--while everyone stops to watch and read it.
So, if Zeus were here, he'd say, RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
But I'm no Zeus, so I'll tell you to RELEASE YOUR MONSTER!
Whether it has breath that smells like a thousand corpses, or it gives people a warm and fuzzy feeling (isn't the lil blue guy adorable?)
Let your monster out into the world and watch what wonderful chaos ensues.
What do you think? Do you share your monsters (writing) with others often enough? Do your monsters take on new life after you release them into the universe? Do they morph and evolve based on people's comments?

I usually don't let my monster out (that sounds inappropriate coming from a guy...sorry) when I'm completely finished with the first draft. For me its a distraction before the first draft is in the can. After that...let loose the hounds!!
- March 22, 2010 at 5:33 PM
- Shannon Whitney Messenger said...
Great post--and I couldn't agree more. I hid in the shadows WAY too long with my MS (started writing in January, didn't share with anyone besides my husband--king of the "it's good" answer--until October. OCTOBER! I just had no idea how to find CPs and who I trusted, but once I finally had CPs, man what a difference. And I know if I'd brought in CPs sooner I'd have gotten to the point of querying a lot faster. So I will not be making that mistake again with the second book. As soon as I have enough complete it's going to my cps (and they all run in fear!!!)

Lurve your lil blue guy, so fuzzy wuzzy. My monster #1 is being torn apart right now and is in no position to be unleashed. Monster #2 is so new, I am designing and constructing and only tentatively testing a few little parts of it.

I like to let people read it my stuff although I think the ones that normally read my stuff (one best friend,mother) are sick of it now. The novelty has worn out and now no one wants to read it. But I know what you mean, I always get excited for someone to read my stuff. It can be a bad or good opinion and I'm totally in love with it. It helps me to think outside the box (my head) a little better.
My monsters right now, Im working on them being a little more "monstorous" so the tweaking continues....great post! - March 22, 2010 at 6:06 PM
- Melissa said...
*grins* I loved that movie when I was a kid. Watched it all the time:) And I can't wait for the new one to come out!
I post my chapters at my crit group's Yahoo site as soon as I finish one and they do the same. I've found that they give such wonderful feedback that the ideas do start to flow even more. - March 22, 2010 at 6:33 PM
- Kimberly Franklin said...
I usually only let mine out to my CPs and some close friends, but oddly enough, my story does change sometimes based on responses to it. Weird, I never really thought about it. LOL.

Hmmm, I've just fed little bits of my monster to family and friends. I've yet to releas the whole monster. Good to know.

- Sydnee said...
I almost never release my monsters - I don't want them to eat anyone or give them nightmares. But, even if they traumatize my readers for life, at least they'll remember them, right? :D
- March 22, 2010 at 8:42 PM
- Stephanie Thornton said...
That little guy is definitely adorable. And you're definitely right- sending our monsters out to be read is a swift kick in the pants to do something with it. Write the next scene, revise, whatever.
- March 22, 2010 at 8:44 PM
- Jessica Nelson said...
So that's what you two say to each other! *grin*
I share my writing with trusted writer friends. Individual chapters are nerve-wracking, but sending out a whole manuscript in ONE piece is Truly Scary.
I agree though, that it ups the momentum of our writing to share it. - March 22, 2010 at 8:48 PM
- Katie Ganshert said...
First things first....do you know they are remaking Clash of the Titans?? Cannot wait to see that puppy!
Second...yes, I release my monsters out into the world and they always come back looking a little different. An extra eye here, a spiky tail there. That sort of thing. :) - March 22, 2010 at 8:48 PM

My monsters do change, with me and over time. And isn't the Kraken a sea based monster, wouldn't it then be under Posidens

It's what helped me write my first book. My friend was reading my chapters and she kept saying more and that got me going.

Great post! I try to let my monster out often. When I don't he ends up in a fetal position in the corner of the room pretending he doesn't exist and that just won't do. ;)

You're so right. In fact, my latest published novel, Looking for Anita, was only one more in a list of unfinished novels stored in my computer last spring (2009) until a writer's group friend asked to read a couple chapters. He gave an excellent critique which re-inspired me, and voila! I have a published novel ;-)

- Kelly Lyman said...
Oh my! This is so true!! I've had to, on occasion, shoot an email out to my CPs and say stop reading! I'm resending tonight! Why? All because as soon as I hit SEND, a better way of writing a particular scene pops up and I want them to read the good version! I'm glad I'm not the only one this happens to!

Oh, I love this! Great post, Karen. I think I kept my monster caged up for far too long. I getting much better about letting him out more now, though. :-)

My project often times feels like a monster to me and yes, when I share it with others, I suddenly feel like there are some serious changes that need to take place. I start imagining what they won't like about it and try to fix the holes before they have a chance to point them out. I think we all do it to a degree. And Yes, the little blue guy is cute! :)
- March 23, 2010 at 1:35 PM
- Palindrome said...
I don't share my ideas enough but it's changing and I get more inspiration when others get excited about reading what happens next. I love it! It helps my confidence and puts my writing into overdrive!
Now I have to go watch Clash of the Titans...good thing I own it or I'd be in big trouble. - March 23, 2010 at 5:36 PM

My monster hasn't really seen the light of day yet. Maybe in May. Maybe.
There's a list of things I need to do to her (yep, she's a girl), before I can shove her into the world. I just want my monster to be able to fend for herself first. - March 23, 2010 at 10:25 PM

Sounds like it's going to be a fun read! I don't face my monsters near enough. I suppose I should unleash them and watch them walk around a bit.

Just so everyone knows - Karen's book is awesome! Stupendously awesome. She let her monster out, and let me tell you, it can strut it's stuff.
It won't be long before you'll be reading her announcement of landing an agent. And then a big publishing deal. :) - March 24, 2010 at 12:29 PM

even if it's in a drawer and no one ever sees it the energy of your having written exists and goes out into the universe in some form. maybe our hidden gems are alive and being shown as movies on other planets! that is for those of you/us who still leave your/our writing inside notebooks inside drawers...but yes, let us share it...because it is for others, for the beautification of the world...and also when we give good energy we recieve it back manifold...

Great analogy and very true. It's easy to consider your MS perfect when no one's seen it but you, even after several revisions, but sometimes it's not until you're actually ready to share it that you realize you want to REALLY perfect it. It can make a big difference.
I also loved Clash of the Titans as a kid. I remember running around in a sheet wrapped up like a toga, playing Perseus for hours. I hope the new one is just as good.
Anyway I can't remember how I found your blog but I am now your 301st follower so feel free to visit mine and do the same.
Thanks! - March 25, 2010 at 12:48 PM

I used to write and I was too shy to share it with other people. Eventually I stopped. Now I cannot hear the lovely stories whispering in the dark.

Inspired by real life characters
As Milkha Singh promises to scorch the track and celluloid this week, he comes in a long line of Bollywood films inspired by real life characters. Very few films name their inspiration to avoid the obvious problems of lawsuits and outrages for cinema liberties taken but you have to be Rip Van Winkle not to recognize them!
We bring you Filmy Friday, a column by Diptakirti Chaudhuri.
Chaudhuri is crazy about Bollywood. In fact, he is crazy enough to have
written a book on Bollywood trivia. He can be found on Twitter and Blogger by his first name.

text: Although I am a big fan of horror movies, I have zero interest in torture porn like Hostel or some of the more extreme Japanese movies. I have avoided Rob Zombie's movies because the trailers give a vibe that falls somewhere between grindhouse, snuff flicks and torture porn. I do like some of Rob Zombie's music, especially Living Dead Girl and More Human Than Human.
