Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 days - interviewed at Insight Global in November 2013.
Interview Details – There are two rounds of interviews, the first is pretty much a conversation with upper management. They will talk with you to make sure that you can hold a conversation and are an ambitious candidate. Next they would invite you to share lunch with the office manager and make sure you can lead conversation even over a meal.
Interview Question – I was asked a few questions about Insight Global and what I liked about the company. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I said I would like to think about it and then accepted a couple weeks later.

Average Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Insight Global in September 2013.
Interview Details – Initial phone interview was short and simple. Next step was a face to face interview at the office where I met with 3 different people. Apparently they liked what they saw and passed me on to a third and final lunch interview with two executives. After lunch I waited two days and received a call saying that they had a more fitting candidate. Very professional company however I felt as though I was not hired because I didn't fit a certain personality type. They were looking for a candidate who was involved in Greek life and other scholarly clubs. When I told them I had to support myself in college and work as a server every weekend they looked down on me. Also they were very interested in who my friends are and how successful they are.. Seemed a little discriminatory my opinion.
Interview Question – None- basic interview questions. They are really looking to see that you can drive conversation. View Answer

I applied through a recruiter and interviewed at Insight Global.
Interview Details – There was a phone screening, first interview with a manager and second interview with a senior executive. The recruiter from the phone screen was very helpful and prepared me before each interview and answered any questions that I had. I really enjoyed the first interview I had at the Scottsdale office and fell in love with the company, however I didn't get a good vibe from my final interviewer in San Diego.
Interview Question – Nothing was out of the ordinary or unexpected. Very straightforward questions, i.e. why you would be a good fit, what experiences prepared you for this position, etc. Answer Question

Average Interview
I applied through an employee referral - interviewed at Insight Global in July 2013.
Interview Details – What made my process so enjoyable knowing that one of my sorority sisters has already been hired, had nothing but amazing things to say about the company, so being referred to an amazing company made life so much easier!! From the minute that I met my corporate recruiter on campus, had two personal interviews, I knew that accepting the offer was a no brainer!! I had a handful of friends also interview, didn't get invited back, so that made me feel even better knowing how picky Insight Global was at hiring!!
Interview Question – Telling my friends about me locking up my career before graduation and seeing how so many of them were being strung around by other companies!! Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Easy process, no hidden processes, very straight forward!!

Interviewed at Insight Global
Interview Details – I applied on Career Builder and was contacted by a corporate recruiter who asked a few questions about my experience and background. She then arranged an in office interview.
Interview Question – Easy interview, very conversational. They don't ask any standard interviewing questions. I've had a couple years of experience and they didn't seem interested in hearing about it. I think they prefer to hire employees fresh out of college. Answer Question

I applied through a recruiter and the process took 5 days - interviewed at Insight Global in November 2012.
Interview Details – The interviewing process at Insight Global is unlike any other that I have experienced before. Rather than asking you technical questions and having you explain everything on your resume, they try to get to know your personality. You interact with top account managers, unknowing of their title or position within the company, and they basically engage in normal conversation, more clearly trying to identify whether or not you would be a cultural fit.
Interview Question – The questions asked at Insight Global are not meant to be difficult or unexpected, they are meant to spark conversation and facilitate it. Answer Question

Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 days - interviewed at Insight Global in August 2012.
Interview Details –
I was contacted through LinkedIn by their corporate recruiter. After having a phone conversation with him, my interest was peaked and I really wanted to further explore the opportunity. I eventually was able to purchase a plane ticket and set up an interview. I called my recruiter before my interview and he told me to ask questions and be energetic.
I arrived at the location, had to use the telephone to let someone know I was there, was taken to a room and waited for a while. Finally the Sales Manager came in.
I must say I was extremely disappointed in this interview process. The sales manager spent approximately 5 minutes with me. He asked where I was from and asked me to tell him about myself. Then he said he was going to have a few other people come talk to me and that I should ask them questions.
Well two more people came in (at seperate times) and asked me if I had any questions for them. I asked multiple questions about how they came to work there, how they progressed, what their challenges were, what they thought was the best triat that had made them successful etc.... and they rambled on and on to answer all of my questions. So.... I listened intently and took notes. DON'T DO THAT!! I later learned that apparently they want you to talk as much as you can. However, I was not given a chance to because they talked the entire time until they said do you have any other questions and I'd ask another.
Before I knew it, the second girl was telling me that is all they have for me today and I was confused because they had not asked me any questions to get to know me, my personality, or my capabilities other than where are you from, did you play sports, where did you go to college. I felt really deceived after leaving because I felt like I didn't even get the chance to talk.
My advice, don't try to be polite and wait for them to finish. Interject with comments as much as possible and be as conversational as you can possibly be.
Interview Question – They really didn't ask much other than where are you from, where did you go to college. They expected you to ask all the questions. Answer Question

I applied through a recruiter and the process took 4 weeks - interviewed at Insight Global in July 2012.
Interview Details –
A corporate recruiter contacted me via email and phone after coming across my resume on the internet. First I went through a phone interview which basically consisted of the recruiter selling the company to me. I was then invited to partake in a 1 on 1 interview 2 weeks later. During the in person interview I met with a lead recruiter as well as the corporate recruiter who initially contacted me. The whole "interview" was them once again selling the company to me and asking if this is the type of company I would like to work for. 1 week after the in person interview I received an email explaining that I was not the best fit for the company
All the employees I talked to and met with seemed to be overly excited to meet me. They are looking to hire a specific type of person and if you weren't part of a fraternity or sorority in college, don't like to drink socially and can't carry a smile all day then you might not be that person.

I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Insight Global in October 2011.
Interview Details – I was contacted by a recruiter who saw my resume on CareerBuilder.com. We set up a phone interview for the next day. The phone interview was short and sweet and mostly consisted of the interviewer describing the position. I went into the office about a week or so later and was greeted by a very perky and friendly girl in the lobby. She lead me into a meeting room and we talked about her job as an Account Executive. She explained how she basically runs arouns town all day meeting with companies to try to maintain relationships. She asked me two or three serious questions (e.g. Why do you want to work in sales?), but other than that we mostly got to know each other. Then a Sales Executive came in and we had a similar conversation, but it felt like she just wanted me to ask questions about the job, which the previous girl had explained in detail. I left feeling confident because both employees were very easy to talk to and seemed interested in me. A week later I received a rejection email.

Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at Insight Global in June 2011.
Interview Details – After applying online, I was contacted after a few days by an internal recruiter. She asked me several personality questions as well as questions about my resume. I was selected for an interview at the office, where I was interviewed by my internal recruiter, a sales manager, and an account manager. Overall, the interview went pretty smoothly. The next few days I never received any word from anybody from the company, after leaving thank you emails and leaving a message on my recruiters voicemail. Finally I was told a decision date, and the day after that I received an email saying "I was not the best fit." Very warm before interview, very cold after interview. I was not impressed at all with how the process was handled, especially by a company that specializes in RECRUITING.
Interview Question – What will you add to our team? Answer Question

An era ends on winning note
District victory in final 'Corning' home game
CORNING — Corning coach Pete Nett didn't like what he saw early in Monday's Class 1A District 12 opener against Orient-Macksburg.
Both teams came in at 1-20 for the season, looking to add something positive to the season with a postseason victory. Nett felt a more up-tempo brand of basketball would benefit his team's chances.
"After watching the first possession, where they kept the ball for basically a minute and a half, I wanted the game to go faster," Nett said.

BUIES CREEK - Trey Freeman (17) and Darian Hooker (15) combined for 32 points, and Campbell held off Radford, 69-60 on Wednesday night, to take over first place in the Big South's North Division.
Campbell (10-10, 5-1) won its seventh game in the last eight outings despite letting a 17-point advantage slip away. Radford (9-11, 3-3) scored 14-straight points early in the second period and took its only lead of the night (44-43) on a pair of free throws by Javonte Green with 12:24 left in the game.
The Camels answered with an 18-7 burst and hit four free throws down the stretch to earn their second-straight triumph and move a game in front of VMI (4-2) and High Point (4-2) in the North Division standings.
Freeman hit 7 of 16 shots and dealt four assists, while Hooker made 6 of 9 from the floor, 3 of 4 from the line, had three assists and three steals. Four days after Campbell finished with no bench points in a 63-59 victory over Winthrop, the Camel reserves outscored Radford's 24-9.

With a minute to play, NCWC's Brandon Givens made a pair of free throws to put the Bishops up 77-75, but Bryan Hockaday answered with a jumper to tie the game at 77-77 with 46 ticks on the clock. Givens followed with a jumper and Chris Ford made 3-of-4 free throws in the final 30 seconds to seal the win.

textured thigh-highs

corset belt
, torrid.com, in Belts
If you have the patience, eBay can yield you some amazing finds, such as this PVC dress that I scored a couple years ago. Most dresses made of this material tend to be body-conscious (which I love and will be wearing for NYE, more on that later though) but this one has a boatneck collar and a more 50s silhouette with a full skirt that allows me to play with the length and drape. Originally, the skirt portion is tea length but I pinned up the front (rather roughly) so that it'd be shorter and I let the back do whatever it wanted to do as a result. This blazer is one of my favorites in my wardrobe. It used to be my mom's way back in the day and I came across it, promptly took it and now my life is better. I love pairing this dress with this blazer because it seems to balance out pretty well. Not sure if the dress is softened because of the blazer or vice versa but either way, it makes me happy.

I didn't say the 80s series were bad (even in comparison) but rather, nostalgia and first impressions do play a role for many people. Of course, as you say, nostalgia and first impressions isn't going to turn crap into gold, but if two productions are comparable, the nostalgia may be an X-factor.
For artworks, nostalgia may not be a factor, but being original and considered "classic does" does. If you painted a picture similar to "starry night" or "mona lisa" with better technique, you're probably not going to get famous because people already have those original painting ingrained in their minds (ie. replicas are not nearly worth the same as the originals). In addition, the mona lisa is no longer famous just because it's a good painting, but because it's become a large part of culture and there are too many references to it. At that point, it may no longer be about the quality of the product, but rather the name of the brand.
The 80s series were considered "classic" because they were the first to make it big (the 70s ones are not nearly as famous).
And as tape already mentioned about standing the test of time. You have to admit that a major entertainment factor in wuxia series IS the "wuxia" part, which will inevitably involve technology which no doubt will change with time. The quality of the series isn't only judged by the screenplay and acting/directing, but will also be judged on cimetography, costume design, set design, choreography/sfx, etc (which is dependent on technology/funding). Except for hardcore wuxia fanatics, I don't think most of the generations born post 2000s will want to sit for 40 hrs to watch a series from the 80s.

Appetite suppressants have long been known to be quite helpful in proving relief and immediate results to those suffering from obesity. These suppressants can be really put to use by those who have no time for physical exercise or those who are not capable of doing them in acute medical condition.
Doctors across the world recommended using these supplementary diet pills to patients who face severe risk and health hazards due to their over critical obesity condition. This appetite suppressants work by increasing the bowel movement inside the body thereby increases the flow of urination, helping the central nervous system to get stimulated and increases the serotonin level thereby providing a sense of euphoria and relief and controlling the sudden pangs of hunger.
The appetite suppressants have a high tendency to abuse and hence there has often been a debate in the medical circles regarding whether the drug can be bought by everyone or not. After a few years of getting launched, and getting worldwide popularity, it had been noted that these drugs created quite harmful side-effects and often were more than abusive in nature.
Their side-effects included stomach pain, headache, nervous breakdown, hallucinations, brain damage, liver failure, kidney failure, heart attacks and in very rare conditions may also lead a person to fall in a coma.
Many of the drugs prescribed under the appetite suppressants have been regarded as controlled substances and are banned in quite a few countries. Controlled substances imply that drugs like Phentermine, the generic name of the brand Adipex and drugs under the brand name Meridia cannot be bought without a prescription from the doctor and there is a restriction on their selling and distribution too.
Apart from these, there are some drugs that do not have been reported to cause the above-mentioned side effects and hence could be bought without a prescription too. These drugs are known as over the counter appetite suppressants.
Over the counter appetite suppressants overview:
Over the counter appetite suppressants work just like the prescription drugs, the only difference being that the prescription drug like Phendimetrazine works by stimulating the central nervous system, increasing heart rate and subsequently the blood pressure and then lower the craving for food.
This is in difference to the over the counter appetite suppressants are relatively safer to use and can be bought by anyone.
Alli is a popular over the counter appetite suppressant. The pill helps to absorb the excess fat of the body, but it has certain side effects too. It must be noted that Alli should not be taken during pregnancy or when somebody is allergic to orlistat. A person with chronic mal-absorption syndrome should also restrain himself from using this drug.
Comparison with Prescribed Drugs:
In comparison with prescribed medicines like Fastin, a brand name for Phentermine or Tenuate, which is not very popular as an over the counter appetite suppressants, but still allowed in some countries to be purchased without a prescription since this drug has more disadvantages than advantages and increases the heart rate and blood pressure and restrains hunger pangs, the over the counter appetite -suppressants are relatively safer.
One should always remember that when Tenuate or Fastin gets combined with other drugs like furazolidone or Marplan, the consequences can be life-threatening. It is always recommended to take the doctor's advice before purchasing these suppressants.
* Note: If you are seeking a safe and effective appetite suppressant, you may want to consider PhenTabz. This diet pill literally kills your appetite. Customers have said that the pill curbs all their cravings and gives them all the energy they need to go through the day.
Good or Bad?
One of the lamest excuses that you can give yourself for buying over the counter appetite suppressants is that it is safe since you can buy it without a prescription.
Actually, this is the most concerning things about it. Over the counter appetite suppressants that are made with natural ingredients like green tea, chromium, hoodia and other herbal products are definitely safe and can be purchased and used by use at any point of time. Since they are made of natural products, they do not have harmful chemicals that could affect the body, but you should be extremely careful about buying over the counter appetite suppressants only after reading their ingredients.
We have considered various points that can help you know whether over the counter appetite suppressants are good or bad for you. Ultimately, you are the person who should be deciding what you want and what you don't.
It is always recommended that you must consult a doctor even before purchasing over the counter appetite suppressants since they are not guaranteed to be safe.

Trying to Find Signs of Hope
As Japan struggles to bounce back from its horrific nightmare, the markets are trying to find a ray of hope. One day after global commodity and stock markets got crushed on reports of a second explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, some markets are struggling to look beyond the disaster. But then the evening news late yesterday reported that the plant was once again dealing with a fire.
Late yesterday, as pointed out by Scott Ross, that even as grains, cotton, coffee, copper, silver, oil, gold plunged, commodity stocks like Shares of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc and Potash staged late day reversals signaling a time when the market will focus on the longer-term bullish aspects of this disaster as opposed to the near-term bearish implications. Still, overall the market action seemed to suggest that if Japan loses control of their nuclear plants, the global ramifications could derail the global economic recovery. Do you think the Federal Reserve might have mentioned that in their statement?
Despite the epic struggles, the Japanese stock market opened higher perhaps helped by the ¥15 trillion ($183 billion) that the Japanese central bank shot into the system. While that helped stocks, it hurt precious metals that sank on concerns that not only will investor and jewelry demand falter from Japan but the possibility that at some point the Japan central bank may sell gold reserves to raise capital for reconstruction. It is also possible that the International Monetary Fund, the third largest holder of gold reserves in the world, will be called on upon to help Japan battle back for what could turn out to be a disaster unlike any we have seen before.
The markets are trying to assess the damage and look ahead but because of the struggle with a potential nuclear meltdown, there is fear that the true extent of the demand destruction may not be known for some time. If this was a normal earthquake and tsunami situation it is likely that the market would already be preparing for the rebuilding phase, yet with the uncertainty surrounding all of Japan's nuclear plants means that it is impossible to gage exactly when this rebuilding will begin.
Of course all of this seems to be lost on the Federal Reserve, which failed to acknowledge or even mention the great threat that Japan poses for the global economy. Maybe if you don't have anything good to say, perhaps you should not say anything at all.
The Fed did say that, "Commodity prices have risen significantly since the summer, and concerns about global supplies of crude oil have contributed to a sharp run-up in oil prices in recent weeks. Nonetheless, longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable, and measures of underlying inflation have been subdued."
They went on to say that they would be watching oil. "The recent increases in the prices of energy and other commodities are currently putting upward pressure on inflation. The Committee expects these effects to be transitory, but it will pay close attention to the evolution of inflation and inflation expectations."
In other words, Fed policy may be dictated by how high oil goes. At least the International Energy Agency mentioned Japan. The IEA kept its outlook for global oil demand in 2011 pretty much unchanged, saying more time is needed to determine the impact from Japan's earthquake. OK, it wasn't much of a statement, but more than the Fed had to say.
The IEA also said (which may be of interest to the Fed) that Libyan oil might be off the markets for months. They said that Saudi Arabia also created two new crude grades with a lower density and sulfur content to match the quality of lost Libyan oil shipments which may help relive the bottleneck at some European refineries.
Further, the IEA said that Japan may consume an additional 200,000 barrels of crude a day if they look to crude based fuels to replace their lost nuclear output. Now add to that all the countries around the globe that will consume more oil as they back off of nuclear power.
While the market has been focused on threats to the demand side there are still significant risks to the supply side. In Libya, Gadhafi is making more headway and the risks are rising in the region as the Saudis have sent troops to Bahrain. Iran has blasted the Saudis saying they have no business in Bahrain. Iran backs the Shiite's against the more moderate Sunni's. To add to the concerns from the supply from Nigeria could be in doubt as reports of an oil pipeline blast may take off more high quality crude from the market place. Tensions are running high throughout the region and could cause a major price spike that could even be a threat to the economy as well as global economic policy around the globe.

5 wimpy asparagus spears wrapped in a whisp of prosciutto, dipped in a thin batter, and deep fried for $10? I've heard this place is busy sometimes but definitely wasn't when I was there on a weeknight. For all the stuff on the menu the only thing we could get the waitress to highly recommend was the burger. She was right - it was the only thing we had that we liked..
I ate at the Grille in Parkville last year. Beatiful location but the food was bland, overpriced and definitely wasn't worth the trip. A restaurant that can only draw enough business to be open 3 nights a week obviously needs a new concept. Even the servers were complaining that the owners don't seem to care if the Grille is busy or not.
plate work looks damn amazing..excellent excellent..great pics too
My wife and I went and checked it out a couple weeks back. The lunch salad is somewhere around $3-5, but we went at 4:45 so the only choice was the $8 2nd floor restaurant salad-which was about 5 uncut pieces of lettuce. The pizza was 'ehhh'. If I didn't see them cook it with my own eyes, I would have swore it was a frozen pizza. I would take a slice of Casey's General Store pizza over this anyday.
It has been in Business for a while and near by the former Mexican Buffet might have sold.
The original Masalas closed because of a huge cockroach infestation. Makes me incredibly hesitant to try it in new form.
Taj Mahal is still the best KC has to offer!
Looking forward to this new incarnation. I loved the old Masalas and was sorry to see it close. Other than the Indian restaurants in the 39th Street corridor/Westport, Kansas City has been sadly lacking good Indian food.
Collections Facebook page has a copy of the menu on it. She has a website up, but, it's just the cover page right now.
Charles is right. In the years before it closed it HAD NOT been cleaned. Living nearby I had breakfast there regularly and the waitresses knew me as the guy who always asked them to wipe down the table with clean paper towel.
There was no crowd so tables were always available. It used to annoy me that staff would sit at tables drinking coffee and smoking. We'd play a game to track how long a specific pile of crumbs or dirt could remain in place. At one time we tracked a pile for better than two months.
That has improved. The food is good. The prices do not match the items or the quality.
The asparagus Charles mentioned may be local but it was tasteless and over-cooked.
The burger is very good. The onion strings are good. I like their egg dishes but they have a tendency to over-cook omelets.
My favorite new restaurant!
Sounds good but I hope it escapes the West Bottoms jinx. That seems to be a place where good venues go to die.
The women's restroom now has a baby changing station installed and the men's restroom is in progress.
Thank you,
Red Door Grill Management
My husband and I don't go out to eat often. WHY? you ask... because we have a kid. This is why whenever we do go out to eat, and want to take our extremely well behaved child with us I always check on their website to see if they are kid friendly. I don't want to eat fast food, and I don't want to go to a chain restaurant. I want to support local business and talent. I don't have a problem with a restaurant not accommodating children. If I want to eat there I can hire a babysitter. I do have a problem when they have advertised that they do, and then I show up to be disappointed. I'm just asking for better communication. Not a rant from someone who doesn't have the vocabulary to express themselves in anything but an expletive.
Historically, the best sandwiches in my opinion were at the (original) Delaware Cafe at 3rd and Delaware...and they had the best chicken tenders as well. I don't know what happened to the owners, and I know it was bought and changed, but the original DC was the best.
Golf clap for your artichoke flatbread. But my little shit-coated crybox needs a fold out plastic table because he's a little shit factory. No, I won't walk my wailing little turd machine out to my car to change him. I want to change him right where everyone else pisses and shits. You could offer me free artichoke flatbread for life and promise me to never put frisee in my asian chicken salad ever ever again and I still wouldn't come back. More like Debbie Bronze.
We brought my grandfather here for what might be his last meal and he really enjoyed his coffee (it was "so hot it could burn off a tick") and his mashed potatoes (they were "as soft and warm as [our] grandmother's nether parts circa double u double u two"). But THERE WAS NO WHERE TO CHANGE HIS DEPENDS FULL OF HOT STEAMING OLD MAN CRAP! Absolutely unacceptable. You open a restaurant in Leawood and don't build a special area for us to change old man diapers!???!!! We will not be back until he's dead- if at all.
"NO BABY CHANGING TABLES IN THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT"?? boo-fucking-hoo
Who goes to a restaurant to change a diaper?? Get over it!!
I CANNOT wait to go try this new place by a chef I greatly admire and know I will not be disappointed by anything on her menu. BTW, Mr. Ferruzza, I worked at 40 Sardines, and found your comment about the staff there being imperious laughable. Many of our patrons were certainly of that mind set, but the MAJORITY of the servers were extremely knowledgeable, courteous, attentive and friendly.
Good, go to a place where you can find a changing table for your screaming bundle of joy like McDonald's or Chuck E. Cheese. Better yet, stay home. No screaming babies and whiny uppity parents=better dining. I'm stoked to see a locally owned place coming in.
I was there a few weeks ago. We ate out on the patio, which was lovely. The new fencing makes it feel more isolated than when it was Patty O'Quigly's. Back then it felt like a suburban strip mall, now it's more like an urban patio (at least that's what it felt like to me). Our server was a little green, but very friendly and helpful.
We shared the grilled artichoke, which was really delicious. I had the spinach/grilled peach salad, which was good, but not fantastic. The grilling didn't really seem to do that much for the peaches and none of the other ingredients shone. My mom had the caesar salad which she liked, and the mustard croutons were particularly tasty.
I'm not in a huge hurry to go back. There are limited vegetarian options, and I didn't love it. That said, if I was looking to share a bottle of wine and some appetizers on a nice day in the area, it would give La Bodega (one of my favorite restaurants) a run for its money.

Andy Adamson, Jr.: Project should protect basin, not just Fargo
In his column, Darrell Vanyo, chairman of the Flood Diversion Board of Authority, seeks the approval of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks for the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion.

People who live in the northern Red River Valley certainly are aware of the importance of reliable flood protection.

Similarly, flood protection has been realized in the southern end of the valley in Wahpeton and Breckenridge.By Darrell Vanyo , November 24, 2013

Position: Support Specialist
As you all know it was Oldiesmann turn to take questions form you guys but there is a slight change. Oldiesmann is on vacation and wontbe able to take questions from you guys since I followed him on the poll we have decided that instead of skipping a week I will go first then Oldiesmann.
Now for a little about me. I love computers as you can all know :P. At first I started creating whack flash websites using Swish. Then moved on to using photoshop. I was getting pretty good at it but around that time I started talking to a girl and left that behind to take out time for her. Later on I lost total interest in design. That's when I decided I wanted to get a gallery like their websites had. That gallery was Coppermine. I had no idea what the heck PHP was. I even create an account in Source Forge thinking that I had to register there to download it. One I got it I was lost again. That's when I started reading about PHP and found out what a database was. Then came the nightmare. I decided that I wanted to integrate Coppermine with phpBB. I did that but didn't work like I wanted it to. Then I wanted a calendar. I broke my phpBB board trying to install the damn mod after it took me hours to edit them files. Around that time Coppermine switched over to SMF. Then my friend did the same. After that I had another friend asking me to install SMF for him. That's when I gained interest in SMF. I started IMing [Unknown] and Oldiesmann me being a total noob asking for help on PHP stuff :P Sorry guys for annoying you so much.

Intel and TSMC: What are they thinking?
Don't get me wrong-- I think the Intel-TSMC alliance announced earlier this week is a good thing for both companies.
But the official explanation, that Intel wants TSMC's help to make Atom processor cores more widely available to the industry, just doesn't strike me as a sufficient reason for the deal.
Intel hardly needs TSMC's help to make SoCs (systems on a chip). Intel has been making highly integrated devices for the embedded market, as well as PC chipsets for a long time. It already has enough of the building blocks and enough experienced engineers to … Read more

A's rookie pitcher Sonny Gray works in the second inning in Game 2. After shutting out the Tigers over eight innings in an eventual victory, Gray will draw the start for Thursday's Game 5 of the American League Division Series. (Robin Buckson / Detroit News)
Detroit � Sonny, boy, you�re on the spot now.
Sonny Gray, all of 23 years old, is the A�s choice to pitch the winner-take-all Game 5 of the American League Division Series against the Tigers in Oakland on Thursday night.
It wasn�t an easy decision for Bob Melvin, given the other choice was veteran Bartolo Colon, Oakland�s best regular-season pitcher.
But in the end, it came down to what we all saw in Game 2: a stunningly confident and poised Gray dominating the Tigers lineup, which looked no more comfortable against him late in the game than it did early.
�We looked at it from a bunch of different angles,� Melvin said on a conference call with reporters Wednesday night. �And the short of it is, it came down to Sonny�s last game that he pitched.
�So that�s the route we�re gonna go.�
Melvin told Gray about his decision a couple of hours before his 5 p.m. Pacific call with reporters.
The reaction sounded priceless.
�He was excited, the same type of look he had when we told him he was gonna pitch the second game,� Melvin said of Gray, who threw eight scoreless innings in Game 2, while allowing just four hits and striking out nine. �He had a smile on his face, and you could see his mind doing its preparation right then and there.�
As for the conversation with Colon, 40, Melvin said that was tough for him.
Colon had a big-time case to get the ball, but he responded to the decision with class.
�He just looked at me and said, �OK, I just want to win,� � Melvin said. �He definitely could�ve had a gripe, and I wouldn�t have been surprised if he did.�
Colon will be available out of the bullpen in Game 5, though Melvin is not sure he would turn to him � given Colon has a specific routine ahead of his planned starts.
The entire bullpen, of course, will be on call. It�s �all hands on deck,� Melvin said � given the loser of the game will be going home.
Solving Verlander
Gray, again, will match up against Justin Verlander � who�s on some kind of roll of his own, with 23 consecutive scoreless innings against the A�s in the postseason.
He threw a complete-game shutout in last year�s Game 5, and shut down the A�s again in Game 2 this year � matching Gray zero for zero.
So what�s the plan of attack there?
�The strength of our offense all year has been to trust everybody, up and down the lineup, and not try to do too much,� shortstop Jed Lowrie said. �And I think that�s the easiest way to get to a guy like Verlander, is just give yourself as many opportunities to score as possible. Get guys on base, get him to throw some stress innings, stress pitches, so he�s just not able to cruise through innings.�
Melvin understands Verlander � who has struck out an eye-popping 33 in his last three playoff starts against Oakland � has had his team�s number, though he believes eventually the tables will turn.
Perhaps, he hopes, as early as Thursday night.
�He�s one of the best pitchers in all of baseball and he�s a big-game postseason pitcher, and we�ve just run into him at the wrong time, too many times,� Melvin said. �We still have to have confidence.
�We feel like we have a better chance to turn the tide.
Around the horn
Given the good at-bats he�s had in the series, including a duel with Max Scherzer late in Game 4, Alberto Callaspo is being considered for the start at second base in Game 5.
Melvin, though, is hesitant to do that, because it takes a weapon out of his hands for late � when he likes to bring in Callaspo in a matchup situation. Callaspo is a switch-hitter, with some pop.
Regular second baseman Eric Sogard doesn�t have a hit in nine at-bats this series.
� As for pulling Dan Straily after six innings and just 76 pitches in Game 4, Melvin shed some light on that. He said Straily pitched the last three innings with back tightness, perhaps attributed to the cold conditions.
� Game 3 starter Jarrod Parker might be available out of the bullpen, though Melvin said he was a little sore after his start. �I�m sure he�ll be willing to,� Melvin said.

Our story
Responsys was founded in 1998 to provide software that would enable marketers to design, execute and manage email campaigns. In 1999, the company launched the industry's first SaaS email marketing platform, which quickly became a leader in its category. By 2004, with a new management team, Responsys recognized that a fundamental shift was taking place in marketing. Customer relationships were moving from offline to online, from talking at customers to engaging customers in an interactive dialogue. What marketers needed was software that could be used to harness the potential of those online interactive relationships.
In 2005, building on the solid Responsys technology foundation, the company introduced a new approach to interactive marketing, Cross-Channel Lifecycle Marketing, which soon became the industry standard. In 2009, the company introduced the Responsys Interact Suite, the first on-demand interactive marketing Suite. Today, that fundamental shift in marketing has become a revolution that we call New School Marketing. And the Responsys Interact Suite is the software that fuels the revolution.
In April 2011, Responsys became a public company (MKTG on the NASDAQ). The rest, as they say, is history, which is yours to see on our timeline.

The age of intelligent machinesWhat is artificial intelligence? At its essence, it is another way of answering a central question that has been debated by scientists, philosophers, and theologians for thousands of years: How does the human brain - three pounds of ordinary matter - give rise to thought? With this question in mind, inventor and visionary computer scientist Raymond Kurzweil probes the past, present, and future of artificial intelligence, from its earliest philosophical and mathematical roots through today's moving frontier, to tantalizing glimpses of 21st-century machines with superior intelligence and truly prodigious speed and memory. Lavishly illustrated and easily accessible to the nonspecialist, "The Age of Intelligent Machines provides the background needed for a full understanding of the enormous scientific potential represented by intelligent machines and of their equally profound philosophic, economic, and social implications. It examines the history of efforts to understand human intelligence and to emulate it by building devices that seem to act with human capabilities. Running alongside Kurzweil's historical and scientific narrative, are 23 articles examining contemporary issues in artificial intelligence by such luminaries as Daniel Dennett, Sherry Turkle, Douglas Hofstadter, Marvin Minsky, Seymour Papert, Edward Feigenbaum, Allen Newell, and George Gilder. Raymond Kurzweil is the founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Kurzweil Applied Intelligence, Kur |

Long story short: By upping the ante character-wise and creating memorable action sequences, Catching Fire is a vast improvement on the first Hunger Games film. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will remind you of: The Lord of the Flies, Battle Royale, Predator, The Truman Show, Dark City, The Running Man, The Dirty Dozen.
The second Hunger Games movie has arrived and it blows the first one out of the water. Director Francis Lawrence (no relation to Jennifer) has the pulse of the fandom. Gone are the handheld action sequences of the first film, the campy CGI crowds of Panem, the frustrating tendency to play it safe. Lawrence's sequel is just "more" and "better" in every way.

4. Post Caliphal Spain through the Reconquista
After the overthrow of the Umayyads, Muslim Spain was broken up into many petty states. The temporary interventions and unifications by the Almoravid and the Almohad dynasties from North Africa served only to delay the inevitable fall. The Christian states of the Iberian Peninsula took advantage of this and conquered each state one by one. Many Spanish national heroes flourished during this period with El Cid being among the most notable. Christian monarchs brought the Reconquista to full swing following the 1085 capture of the former Visigothic capital of Toledo.
Ismail ibn Naghzalah dies. This Jewish vizier of the Zirids in Spain wielded almost supreme authority in Granada.
El Cid defeats an attack by al-Hayib (whose allies included the Christian realms of Aragon and Barcelona) at Almenar.
Toledo falls to King Alfonso VI of Castile. Incidentally, Alfonso took a Muslim Queen named Zayda, who became mother of his son Sancho.
Al-Zarqali (Arzachel, born 1028) dies. This Andalusian Muslim excelled in the field of astronomy developing an astrolabe and producing his Toledan Tables.
Alfonso banishes El Cid again, although the latter remained a subject of the king. Tribute from Muslim states normally going to the king ends up in the treasury of El Cid.
Yusuf ibn Tashfin returns to Spain this time conquering it and annexing it to his African holdings. The Almoravids annex the states of Granada (the Zirid ruler is deported to Morocco) and Baza.
King Alfonso makes alliance with maritime Italian cities for naval assistance against Valencia in return for trade concessions. Alfonso lifts the siege of Valencia to deal with an invasion of his territories by El Cid.
Murcia and the castle Aledo fall to the Almoravids.
The unpopular al-Qadir of Valencia is deposed and executed; Ibn Jahhaf takes the throne.
Muslims participate in Count Roger's attacks on Amalfi and Capua.
Alfonso Henriques repulses a Muslim attempt to recapture Santarem.
Alfonso VIII founds the university at Palencia which employs Muslim and Jewish instructors.

Chart: Top Comic Book Franchises
18.07.12 # Chart # One Comment
With the passing of Comic-Con last weekend and The Dark Knight Rises opening this Friday, it's as fine a time as any to grab a calculator and figure out which is actually the biggest comic book-based movie franchise of all time. A calculator? Yup, in a bid to try and level the playing field, we have taken each franchise's cumulative gross and divided it by the number of instalments. So what came out on top? You may be surprised.
10. Ghost Rider ($83m)
9. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ($85m)
8. Superman ($103m)
7. Hulk ($133m)
6. Fantastic Four ($142m)
5. X-Men ($186m)
4. Men in Black ($204m)
3. Batman ($240m)
2. Iron Man ($315m)
1. Spider-Man (Average US gross: $319m)
Note: This doesn't take account of inflation, which is relevant to the older instalments, but since the vast majority of these movies came out in the last 10 or so years, in most cases it doesn't matter.
