Thanks for sharing this, you are a great source of lounge info.
I was so ready for the possibility that In Affect would be at Excal while our fave Klique band was on vacation, they weren't, i will keep checking.
I saw an interesting band last night, that I'm sure would impress a lot of our mature members. Yes, not everything out here is for the 20 something crowd. Tuesday nights at Sam's Town, through march.
They're called the Nite Kings, and they're all in their 50's or 60's themselves. You might call them the "other" jersey boys. A lot of them are from New Jersey, and you can tell just by listening to them talk. There are four front men singing, all dressed in matching suits with boutineers (sp?) and shined shoes. The three guys (and lady drummer) in the band behind them wear matching suits as well, but they're a different color.
They've been described as a Doo-Wop band (not sure if that's spelled right either, as this lingo was just a bit before my time.) But, they do some of the same oldies but goodies that I enjoy when InAFect plays them. I stayed for a whole set, even though I was exhausted. I actually just went to visit Dr. Chris behind the bar, since he makes one mean Long Island tea, and I needed one after my 13 hour day. The band sounded so good that I decided to stay awhile. Lots of folks were dancing too. Even a gentleman in a wheelchair.
As for the dance steps, the guys are a little heavier and older than InAFect, so they don't do half splits and moon walks. But they do some Temptations style steps, and spins, and they move together quite well.
The average age of the audience was 55 to 65 years old. So, I was the youngin in the bunch. But I still enjoyed myself. This was the music my parents listened to.
The group has a website which I haven't visited yet, but I'm sure they have a lot more info than I've posted. www.nitekings.com

Thanks for the compliment Deb. Yes, I am definitely a lounge lizard! Tonight was InAFect night at Sam's Town. They're now doing wed and thurs 8-midnight, and friday and sat. 10:30-3 a.m. Not every week though. I'll have to check them out again friday night, and see what kind of music they do that late at night.
Also, they said on their facebook page that they now have a CD out, but they're only available at performances. They made no mention of it tonight when they finished, but they may have sold them during their breaks, and I missed it. I only saw their last set. I'll keep everyone posted on the Sam's Town, and ESC bands at least.
Thank you so much for the information. This band sounds like one we would love th hear. Sure appreciate all of the information you have on lounges and bands etc. Thanks again.
Being in the right age bracket, we saw the Nite Kings once and we'll stick with In A Fect.
I'm sure InAFect will be number one in my book for a long time to come too, but with their newest member, they seem to be leaning a little more toward hip hop and rap. The more mature crowd may not appreciate that as much. You can always check them both out, and judge for yourself.
I am really missing Larry's guitar solos. I just don't see why they need 2.5 keyboard players, and no guitar player. I haven't had a chance to chat with any of them since the change happened. But if I get the chance, I'm going to remind Larry, it's not illegal to play two different instruments in the same set. I haven't seen him play lead guitar since october. Only bass.
On the up side, they are doing a wider variety of music. Besides the hip hop, they've added One Republic, Maroon 5, and I may even be requesting some Chicago soon. It still feels great though, to walk into a lounge, and have them break into a classic Earth Wind and Fire song.

Piers Morgan And Alex Jones Continue Skirmish Via Twitter
January 09, 2013 02:31 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
Did you think the crazy debate between America's Got Talent alum Piers Morgan and shock jock Alex Jones would be over after Alex Jones' interview ended? Well, you thought wrong! Shortly after an explosive segment on Piers Morgan Nightly, both Piers and Alex took to Twitter to continue their spat.
Piers Morgan and Alex Jones are still at it…and their battle is documented on Twitter! Shortly after having radio host and firearms advocate Alex Jones on his show, Piers Morgan took to Twitter to comment, "Comforting that @RealAlexJones personally owns 50 firearms, isn't it….." The next day, when Alex Jones' rant was blowing up Twitter, Piers quipped, "So @RealAlexJones still trending worldwide following our 'interview' – the best advert for gun control yet."
Not to be outdone, Alex Jones also continued the
meltdown debate via Twitter. In a tweet that we can only assume also referred to the Pier Morgan encounter, Alex tweeted, "You're [sic] life will have value, the moment you commit to protecting truth." He later included Piers' Twitter handle in the mix, tweeting, "Guns aren't the problem, it's Greedy globalists & twats like @piersmorgan that have hijacked our country." And earlier today, Jones took to the social media platform to accuse Pier Morgan of being, "an ex-talent show judge fired for yellow journalism."
In addition to tweeting their thoughts, Alex Jones and Piers Morgan have been busy retweeting comments from their followers. Many of Piers Morgans retweets were actually arguments in favor of Alex Jones, to which Piers was happy to provide clipped commentary and altogether amusing responses.
We're guessing that the Piers Morgan vs Alex Jones debate won't be over for awhile. Alex has asked Piers to take part in a moderated debate, either on his radio show, on Piers' TV show or at an alternative venue. It'll be interesting to see if Piers takes him up on the offer.

Susan Davis and Gregory Korte, USA TODAY
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the Senate will vote Thursday to end a Republican filibuster of gun legislation. "We need to move to this legislation ... and let the cards fall where they may," he told reporters following a closed-door Democratic meeting Tuesday.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., still has not secured a bipartisan compromise on background-check legislation, which Reid had hoped to add to a broader package of gun measures. "In the meantime, we're going to move forward," Reid said.
Manchin is working with a 5 p.m. Tuesday deadline and said he would update reporters after that.
On Monday, 14 Republican senators, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, said they would filibuster to block votes on the Democratic gun legislation.
If Democrats fail to achieve the 60-vote threshold required to end the filibuster, Reid pledged to use procedural tricks provided to the majority leader to gum up the Senate legislative calendar to continue to force votes on gun legislation. "It will take a little bit of time, but we're going to do it," he said.
It is unclear whether there are 60 votes in the Senate to end the filibuster, and Reid conceded he did not know either. At least six Republican senators have said they will vote with Democrats to end the filibuster and allow an up-or-down vote on the gun bill. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., is ill and will not be in the Senate this week to vote, and at least two leading Democrats, Sens. Max Baucus of Montana and Mark Pryor of Arkansas, have not said whether they will support Reid's effort to move to the gun bill.
"I have not leaned on any of my Democratic senators," Reid said. "I try never to do that."
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, defended the filibuster. "In my view, every senator has a responsibility to actively protect the Bill of Rights," he said. "Any bill that would undermine the Bill of Rights, in my view, should be subject to a 60-vote threshold."
But he deflected questions on whether he had enough senators to block a vote, or whether Tea Party-allied senators would take to the floor in a "talking filibuster," such as the one Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., conducted last month on President Obama's nominee to head the CIA.
"I would be happy spending the next two or three weeks on the floor of the Senate debating this," Cruz said. "There's an irony to the calls for 'Let's have a debate.' We're having the debate right now."

TOMORROW FOCUS Media remains Germany's second biggest provider of online marketing services
Twelve sites run by TOMORROW FOCUS Media make the AGOF Top 100
With a reach figure of over 60 percent in an average month and twelve sites in the AGOF Top 100, TOMORROW FOCUS Media has maintained its position as Germany's second biggest provider of online marketing services. According to the 'internet facts 2010-II' of the Study Group Online Research (AGOF), the company's marketing network has a net average monthly reach of 30.03 million unique users.
TOMORROW FOCUS Media is just 1.5 million unique users behind Interactive Media, the country's biggest online marketing company. Altogether, twelve TOMORROW FOCUS sites are listed in the AGOF Top 100 including FOCUS Online, CHIP Online and GuteFrage.net.
Compared to the AGOF's last review, published in 'internet facts 2010-I', the fastest-growing sites out of the entire TOMORROW FOCUS network were the multimedia portal 'Mein schöner Garten Online', which increased its tally of unique users by almost 70 percent to 0.76 million; the sports portal 'Sport1', up 35 percent to 3.41 million unique users; and the company's own news portal, 'nachrichten.de', which rose nearly 50 percent to 0.4 million unique users.
Looking at TOMORROW FOCUS Media's theme-based verticals, the biggest increases were achieved by the verticals 'Sport' (up 23.7 percent), 'Living' (up 8.1 percent) and 'Travel' (up 5.9 percent).
Martin Lütgenau, Managing Director at TOMORROW FOCUS Media GmbH, was delighted: "We are very satisfied with the AGOF results in the second review since the change in definition. Once again, we have shown that we can expand the TOMORROW FOCUS network with the help of some exciting new products, new partners and a number of solid and very successful collaborations."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
My question is how much can someone make from affiliate marketing using adwords for traffic?
Is 100k/month in profit doable? What about 500k/month in profit? yes I am talking dollars.
Don't forget to factor in returns - you might think you've made a load of cash at the end of the month only to see your profits evaporate when you see 30% - 40% return rates.
It is much more difficult now than it was 3-4 years ago but there are still areas where it is lucrative. It also helps to have relationships with companies so that when they decide to ditch whatever they are using and farm it out to affiliates, the opportunity will be presented to you.
Spending $1.00 and getting $2.00 back is still pretty scalable in some markets but you have to find the site, pick the right products and landing pages, factor in returns, make sure they are cool with PPC affiliates, manage your cash flow, pick a merchant that will not stiff you, and be able to float up to 2 months of ad expenses before you get paid.

OPP: Hall Pass
by Slacker And Steve
posted Mar 19 2013 4:14PM
Her boyfriend won a trip to Europe and she wants him to enjoy the European experience…the WHOLE experience! You might think what she's suggesting is crazy, she wants to give him a hall pass! A hall pass is a one-time thing to let her significant other to hook up with a European woman while on vacation! She is completely ok with this happening.…
"YI! I'm 22 years young and I am currently in a relationship with someone I could really see myself being with for several years to come. We have been together for a year and I love him with all of my heart; he's my best friend. Recently, the company my man works for put on a contest and whichever employee sells the "cap" amount of a specific product gets to go on a trip to Paris for a week. Well, my man won the contest and I couldn't be more proud of him! This has been his lifelong dream to go to Europe and he finally gets to go with all expenses paid. (Lucky him) Unfortunately, he is not allowed to bring a significant other because it is a company trip only.
Not too long ago I was listening to your show and you had an OPP about a "hall pass". It really intrigued me and got me thinking about my own relationship. I have been going back and forth on whether or not to give him a hall pass in Europe. I want him to live this trip to the absolute fullest- no regrets. I want him to come back with a giant smile on his face knowing that Europe was everything he has ever wanted and more! Part of me feels like if he doesn't get to experience a true European woman while he is out there that the trip won't be quite as amazing. What man wouldn't want to do the deed with a hot foreign chick? I'm straight as an arrow and even I would go for it! Do you think it's a good idea? Or do you think this will cause problems in the end? "
Slacker thinks that the only good outcome of this is if he just doesn't use the hall pass and Steve thinks he shouldn't do it either. And they both agree that it sounds like head games, the 'im ok' when really your in deep and shes upset. Steve says he should be on his toes and be cautious with what he does.
Is this a good idea or a bad idea? What do you think?

Need a shoe with high style and performance too? This spring took them to Paris and London along w/ another brand. These were the 'go-to' shoes the entire trip. Tremendous amount of time on my feet made possible w/ these shoes. And they looked stylish; plan from start was to blend into the French community--not look like a sloppy American with neon back pack,hiking clothes and multi-colored running shoes--it is possible to be polished AND comfortable all day for three weeks using a carry-on suitcase. My traveling companion had same shoes, different color, with same experience.
describe closure to me, please. does snapper...
describe closure to me, please.
does snapper mean that buckle is just show?
The buckle is not just for show, It is just a normal buckle.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hi JACustomer,
If you default in this mortgage, the lender can get a deficiency judgment for the balance of the loan after the property is sold at foreclosure. This judgment can be used to garnish wages and bank accounts, and to place liens on other property (house, car, etc.). If the lender gets a deficiency judgment, there is no 1099-C issued (because the debt was not forgiven).
If the lender did issue a 1099-C, you would have to include the forgiven debt as taxable income only to the extent that you were solvent at the time of the sale. (Solvent means total assets - including the value of the property - were greater than total debts - including the mortgage.
You may be able to file a Bankruptcy to eliminate both possibilities.
I think this is what you wanted to know. If not, please let me know.Thank you!
Kinda what I wanted to know. I guess the debate is whether the bank pursuing a deficiency judgment is likely going to really pursue. My wife says she's heard with amounts as small as ours ($30K deficiency), no way will they come after us. My worst nightmare is walking way, taking the credit hit, AND having the deficiency judgment bite us in the butt. If that's almost a certainty, I'd rather just fire sale the land right now, finance the deficiency with a 401K loan, and move on w/o killing the credit.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think bankrupsy is an option fo me. I have a decent house, good income, cars, not a lot of other debt. But, the $1500/month for this property puts me and my wife down in the catagory of not having much at all left over each month and we have 4 kids will college coming up, etc.
I know you don't have a crystal ball, but if I thought the chances of Colorado pursuing me for the deficiency was extremely small, I might consider risking it. I have a $4200 tax bill due shortly and if I'm walking away, I'm just going to ignore it and start not paying the note.
If the bank does not think it worthwhile pursuing a judgment for $30K, they can - and probably will - sell the right to pursue the judgment to a collection agency. Once they finish adding late fees, interest, and legal fees, the amount owed will be closer to $40K, and this is the amount the collection agency will be able to collect.
Whats the diff between ignoring collections and ignoring the bank? I know a deficiency judgment gives them rights to garnish wages, etc. Can the collection agency do that as well?? Thanks for being patient.
If Bankruptcy is not feasible, I cannot give you my opinion regarding the best course for you, as doing so would be too close to providing legal advice, which we are not allowed to do. (We are only allowed to provide legal information.)
I do think, though, that you should consider the possibility that the value of you land will go back up eventually.
You will get a credit hit, and will likely get a deficiency judgment if you default.

Good evening.
Previously, when I worked with 6.0. (0-1-2) version of Zimbra, I sent a message through the console in Russian. Used for the "mutt".
After upgrading to 6.0.3, mail sent to the console began to come in broken encoding.
For example:
You can do something that would be a letter in the Russian came back with a normal coding?
To update(to 6.0.3) all was well...

7 December 2012 - Met Office forecasters are predicting a brief respite from the cold weather over the weekend, before a renewed wintry blast returns from the northeast next week.
A ridge of high pressure will bring quiet and slightly milder conditions for most parts of the UK over the weekend with temperatures perhaps reaching 10 Celsius in places. Outbreaks of rain across Scotland on Saturday will slowly spread southwards to bring some rain to England and Wales on Sunday.
It's on Monday next week when we expect to see the first signs of much colder weather, as the wind starts to blow from the northeast, bringing showers to the east coast. From Tuesday it's going to be much colder everywhere.
Tony Waters, Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster, said: "After a brief milder spell this weekend we are expecting the coldest spell of the winter so far to develop across the UK next week. Eastern and southeastern coastal counties can expect to see the most frequent snow showers, but a few will probably spread further inland to central parts as the week goes on.
With temperatures falling well below freezing at night, lying snow and the formation of ice could lead to some treacherous conditions and possible disruption to travel."
Met Office Cold Weather Alerts have been issued for the whole of England as the forecast weather could increase the health risks to vulnerable patients.
Public Health Minister Anna Soubry, said: "It's really important people look after themselves and be good neighbours to older friends in the cold weather. In the winter older people and those with long term conditions are more likely to suffer heart attacks and strokes, respiratory illnesses can get worse, and there is the risk of falls on slippery ground.
"We have given £20 million to local authorities to help vulnerable people stay well during cold weather and get the help they need within their communities. And we urge anyone with a long-term condition to get a free flu jab from their GP.
"The NHS is well prepared for an increase in winter related health problems which are typical at this time of year. Preparations are made across the NHS annually and these are now in place in every area of England."
The latest forecasts and warnings can be found on the Met Office website, on our mobile apps, and through TV and radio broadcasts on the BBC and ITV.

KOLKATA: Government of India makes gold more expensive by hiking duties four times in 20 months, hoping this will deter citizens of India from holding more gold. But not only does gold remain attractive for Indians, expectations of a high price regime have increased its attractiveness.
This is not a perverse outcome. It's more a case of wrong official logic.

BOULDER – University of Colorado women's tennis Associate Head Coach Roberto Aspillaga is leaving the CU program to become the Stephen F. Austin women's tennis head coach effective, Monday, June 17.
This is the first head coaching job for Aspillaga (pronounced ahs-P-a-ga). He replaces former head coach Stephanie Wooten, who resigned last month to pursue other career opportunities. The Ladyjacks compete in the Southland Conference.
"I want to thank coach Kenneally and the entire CU administration," Aspillaga said. "It was a great experience to work at this institution and I am very grateful for all the wonderful people I had the opportunity to work with. I am very proud of all the team's hard work and I will miss working with them."
The Buffaloes finished the 2013 spring season with a 7-14 record. A pair of those victories came in the Pac-12 Conference, CU's first conference wins since joining in 2012. The Buffs defeated Arizona (Mar. 10) and upset No. 59 Oregon (Mar. 29). Ironically, back on Feb. 2, CU upset No. 62 Stephen F. Austin marking the team's first win over a ranked opponent since the 2010 campaign.
Aspillaga also helped the Buffs break into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings for the first time since April 2010, where CU spent the week of April 1-7 as the No. 75 nationally ranked team.
Prior to CU, Aspillaga spent the 2010-2012 seasons as an assistant coach at Purdue University. There he helped the Boilermakers win their first Big Ten Tournament Championship and earn an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.

I have a 1960 Schwinn Racer. It is equipped with a Sturmey-Archer TCW Mark IV. I'm completely restoring this bike for my wife to ride. I have since learned that the TCW series hubs are all unreliable.
I'm rebuilding this whole bike down to the last bolt. It needs new spokes so I figure while I am in there i might as well replace the hub.Originally Posted by Sheldon Brown
What is an alternative hub that I can use? Is there a later model that will be an acceptable swap for this bike?

Here's something light to start your Monday, assuming you start your week at 11 a.m. PST.
"Is it permissible for a man to remove hair from the chest, back, and between the eyebrows?"
IslamOnline.net offers this answer, via Holy Weblog!:
"There is no evidence from the Qur'an or the Sunnah that forbids cutting short the hair from the chest and back; but the removal of hair from these parts may be considered a form of imitating women, something forbidden according to the hadith: 'May Allah's curse be inflicted on women imitating men and vice versa.' As for women, it is permissible for them to remove hair from these parts because it causes them harm.
"As for removing the hair from between the eyebrows, it is lawful, because it is not part of the eyebrows. But as for plucking the eyebrows, it is forbidden and not permissible in Islam, according to the Hadith: 'May Allah's curse be inflicted upon women who pluck their eyebrows, and women hired to do this.
Previously in interesting Islamic edicts:
A Saudi cleric says it's cool to kill infidel operators of cable television;
Mickey Mouse makes another Saudi cleric's hit-list;
Then there was the breast-feeding fatwa, not to mention to prophet's pee blessing;
And before that a list of the "World's Stupidest Fatwas."
These instructions from clerics must do for Muslim moderates what the unwarranted condemnations of the James Dobsons and Pat Robertsons do for a moderate evangelical Christian like me: drive them bonkers. The more people who don't represent our values dominate the conversation of what it means to hold our values, the less likely it is that the media will really understand and properly portray our values.
You're probably wondering now how many times I'm going to say values. Three more: Values, values, values.

if you mean the sandstorm, I rescripted it, 'cause if I reuse the old Ruby sandstorm script, it causes the maps not to show their names anymore, I think

Actually It would truthfully be "see". I have no idea why, but it truly is. Neways, I couldn't battle Janice the second time, for some reason. I believe it was because the script in that town didn't activate for some odd reason. And I mean the original Ruby talking scripts that are littered throughout the hack. But it was nice overall, keep it up! Luck~

Newlyweds Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Ready To Divorce?
October 20, 2011 08:57 AM by Jackie Morrison
Two months ago Kim Kardashian married basketball player Kris Humphries in a dream wedding in California. Now the honeymoon appears to be over already with rumors of an impending split circling. One report from Star Magazine stated that Kim Kardashian may have already consulted a top divorce lawyer in New York.
The reality star was seen on the lawyer's floor at a New York building according to Star Magazine. The magazine also suggests that Kris Humphries has been taking his unemployment due to the NBA lockout in good strides by partying like a single man. He was been spotted being flirtatious with other woman as if he were still a single bachelor playboy instead of Kim Kardashian's husband. This behavior has been observed by Star Magazine sources in New York and Miami.
"Kris takes other girls' cell phone numbers all the time," a source said. "To be honest, I don't think Kris truly loves Kim. And I don't think he ever really did."
Life and Style Magazine also makes similar allegations against Kris Humphries about a recent trip to Toronto where he contacted his ex-girlfriend, Bianka Kamber. The magazine also included comments from the producer of Kourtney and Kim Take New York who suggested that Kim Kardashian's future plans do not involve her husband.
"Kim's mapping out 2012, including holidays, and Kris isn't a part of it. Any itineraries for the future don't include Kris very much," said the unnamed producer.
Kim Kardashian was tweeting a lot during her trip last week to Dubai but since returning home has only been seen in public once with Kris Humphries. The couple dined at STK Restaurant after Kim Kardashian arrived back in the US but yet another source for Hollywood Life claimed that appearances are deceiving.
"They came in kind of separated," the witness said.
After her date at STK Restaurent with her husband, Kim Kardashian was seen with her friend La La Anthony at the Angel Ball and later attended the Huffington Post Game Changers Awards alone. So far, Kim Kardashian has not made any statements about a split. She has only said that her late father Robert Kardashian would have liked her husband.

Kim doesn't have any room for anyone outside herself, she always wanted the fairytale over the top wedding, but without the groom.And he wouldn't give into her lavish way of life style, and Mrs. Jenner, of course, is all about money and what she makes off her girls. (just what a mom should be : /) her former x husband would not be proud of what she's made of his family.World wide, they made it obvious, that after Kris gave Kim the engagement ring, they put him in the back seat, even to leave his folks out of their wedding!! and the snide remarks that Kris Jenner made all the way through it. They should be ashamed, and owe him a big apology for being so into themselves. He can do better, and as for the Kardashians, at the end of the day, they'll still be like a penny " worthless"

Fortunately, most executives no longer accept this antiquated conventional wisdom. They understand that a time of economic turmoil is precisely when they have the most to gain from focusing on employees. If employees are distracted, anxious, disengaged or believe they've stalled in their careers (especially top performers), they aren't likely to do what's required to keep the enterprise moving forward or constructively deal with problems.
In our experience, though, there's still a gap between recognizing that it's folly to ignore people priorities in tough times and actually devoting time to them. In a climate when business leaders face what may seem like an unprecedented number of challenges, people can drop down the list of priorities, leaders' best intentions notwithstanding.
So what can leaders and managers do during the months ahead to close the gap between intentions and actions? What steps are critical to benefit both the business and the workforce? Based on our experience, and the work we're doing with companies right now, here are our five must-do's:
Lead by example: Regardless of leaders' own concerns, they need to present a thoughtful, calm and authentic "face" to people in a period of crisis. It's the time for straight talk, for meaningful reassurance and for a clear vision and plan to get things back on track. The companies that come through a crisis most successfully are almost always those that commit to frequent, open and honest communications with employees, no matter what else is going on or how tough the messages are.
Think creatively about staffing: A common reaction to any economic downturn is to downsize to manage costs. But even if across-the-board staffing cuts meet cost reduction targets, they are rarely the best answer. Instead, consider how to deploy employees in creative and more productive ways to help reduce costs. For instance, are the best performers doing the highest-value work? Can underutilized workers move to other areas of the organization? By looking at ways to realign the workforce with both short-term opportunities for efficiency and growth and long-term strategies, companies may be able to minimize staff cuts and any ensuing turmoil. If layoffs still prove necessary, approach them with a more surgical eye, identifying which jobs and roles are most critical to the business, especially now, and evaluating the implications of the people and roles being eliminated.
Consider opportunities to "upskill" or upgrade talent: As companies consider or undertake layoffs—even targeted actions—the available pool of talented professionals should grow. This could be the time to add new skill sets or increase bench strength at competitive rates, especially with financial services professionals. According to the New York State Department of Labor, the current financial crisis will take about 40,000 jobs out of the financial services industry in New York, including jobs in such areas as IT, sales and business planning. This represents a unique opportunity to tap into an unusually wide and deep talent pool.
Rethink compensation: Merit budget increases—rarely exceeding 4 percent over the last few years anyway—will likely decline in the general economic slowdown, making it harder than ever to retain the best people and reward performance through base pay increases. Profit reports suggest there will be fewer incentive dollars available for year-end or special bonuses across industries. This is the time to make differentiation real in the company—identifying the high potentials and top contributors and ensuring they receive the lion's share of available compensation dollars. This is absolutely not a time that companies can afford to spread pay evenly across the workforce – a practice colloquially known as "peanut-buttering," which yields few benefits and can send top talent out the door at the time they're needed most.
Stay close to key talent: In the current environment, with 2008 fourth-quarter profits expected to slip nearly 30 percent for the S&P 500 as a whole, it's more crucial than ever to keep critical staff engaged and productive. The good news, especially given budgetary pressures, is that pay itself has little to do with driving engagement. As our research consistently shows, engagement builds from emotional connections to the company and the nature of the work experience and environment. Keeping people at the company—and keeping them engaged—doesn't always require a big financial outlay, but it invariably involves an investment of significant time and attention, especially from senior leadership.
In our view, it's impossible to separate people's actions and performance from the company's results. After all, financial performance is ultimately the sum total of millions of individual actions taken by employees to move the business forward. Getting employees to take the right actions, with the right degree of energy and skill, is a core part of building a solid financial and operational foundation.

Company of Heroes was released last year to great acclaim. The game is a squad based Real Time wargame that takes a squad through World War II. THQ, the makers of Company of Heroes released a DirectX 10 patch to showcase the graphics power of cards that support DirectX 10 like the 8800GT. The 8800GT 1GB AKIMBO video card plays the game with few problems even at high resolutions and settings.
Call of Duty is a long-running series of war games. Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare is the latest in a long running series that dates back four years. The game users DirectX 9.0 Pixel and Vertex Shaders to do beautiful lighting on the soldiers and the sky shadows, it also uses HDR throughout the game. The 8800GT AKIMBO runs this game with no issues and it plays well on it. The game played at 1680x1050 without issue and is an excellent showcase of what the 8800GT can do. The 8800GT played every game I threw at it without problems and with the full visual fidelity that one would expect from an NVIDIA card based upon their DirectX 10 architecture. In many cases, games based upon DX9 graphics can enable CSAA 16x without issue as to performance. DirectX 10 games like Crysis require more horsepower but you can play these games without AA and AF without issue on the 8800GT.

Magnificent Mendelssohn

About This Performance
"Grand tours" were common rites of passage for wealthy young men in the Romantic era, and Felix Mendelssohn, the son of a prominent financier, was well travelled. His Hebrides Overture and "Scottish" Symphony were inspired by his first visit to Great Britain – belatedly, in the case of the Symphony, which was not completed until 13 years later, although he said that its opening theme came into his mind during a tour of the ruined Holyrood Chapel in Edinburgh.
Come for:
Lovely, haunting, tuneful, dancing evocations of the rising hills and sunken caves of Scotland.
And more:
Exuberant young violinist Ray Chen performs the evergreen Concerto that Mendelssohn wrote for Ferdinand David, his concertmaster at the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra.

Superman was well known for his superpowers and one of his most famous was his heat vision. He can cut through metal, fry bad guys, and spot weld broken machinery. You can practice your heat vision pose by staring intensely at a fixed point!
As a non-kryptonite it's going to be hard to replicate Superman's super speed. You can, however, practice your starting stance. Hold your arms steady at your side like you are about to take off running after a nefarious thief. All of your fans will be so impressed they'll forget that you're not the real deal!
One of Superman's greatest traits was his super-strength. He was of course able to perform amazing feats that no human could replicate. You can augment your costume by taking stoic stances. Flexing your muscles will assure everyone of your Superman authenticity. Even if your physique is not particularly muscular you can still practice these stances for dramatic effect!
Superman of course used the power of flight to fight his foes and traverse great distances. While donning a Superman Costume won't give you the power of flight, you can practice your up, up, and away pose. Just put one fist in the sky, one at your side, and utter the iconic phrase!

I setting up a surprise 40th birthday party for a friend. A group of us played a couple years ago at a bachelor party and had a lot of fun. The guy turning 40 kept saying we should go back and play again.
My only problem with some of those places, are some of the people who play regularly are sooooo into it. Last time we played there were these two 13yr old kids with computer operated, Laser guided, $1000 guns, that their parents bough for them. They were talking smack and challenged five of us to a match. Five adults against two 13 yr olds. They killed us all in like two minutes.
I'm going to have to start training, I think I'll rent Rambo tonight.

4.5 16 27
I created this recipe a few years ago when I was craving something different to do with hard-cooked eggs. I combined three of my favorite foods - bacon, eggs and cheese - in these deviled eggs. I've shared them at parties and have received many compliments on their eggstra special taste. —Laura LeMay, Deerfield Beach, Florida
- 12 hard-cooked large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise; remove yolks and set whites aside. In a small bowl, mash yolks. Stir in the mayonnaise, bacon, cheese, mustard and pepper. Stuff or pipe into egg whites. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 2 dozen.
Editor's Note: As a substitute for honey mustard, combine 1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard and 1-1/2 teaspoons honey.

"I made these on Easter Sunday and they were a hit. The only thing I wanted was a tad sweetness, so I added 3/4 teaspoon of sugar. My family loved them. I would make again."

"I made half of everything and found the eggs bland, so added 1/8 tsp ea of garlic powder and salt, a bit more honey mustard/mayo and some sweet green relish to enhance the flavors, which they did. Although we prefer our old Five Roses Flour recipe, it was nice to try something new."

Eagle and Beagle stocks
Last week's top-performing local stock, Panhandle Oil & Gas Inc., registered a nice 8.3 percent gain. Shares of PHX closed Friday at $32.34 — about 4 bits short of its 52-week high set back in July.
Unlike most of our state-based energy companies, it's not a typical exploration and production company. The Oklahoma City firm buys, manages and develops natural gas and oil properties.
That mission, and a relative modest market cap, apparently makes the stock less attractive to the average trader. On an average day, only about 12,000 PHX shares change hands.
But for long-term investors (which might be most of the company's shareholders), last week's low-volume, high-gain performance was plenty exciting.
For such a volatile week in Washington and on Wall Street, there was relatively little movement among Oklahoma stocks.
The worst performing stock of the week was Tulsa-based Syntroleum Corp., which is seeking to commercialize its proprietary method of synthesizing fuels like diesel.
Syntroleum likely has appeared in this space more than any other state-based stock for two reasons: It is relatively cheap, and it is relatively speculative.
SYNM shares dipped 6.3 percent last week, but that amounted to just a 28-cent decline in the price, which closed at $4.18.
For investors, this issue is a long play.

Reward Offered For Info In Kidds Store Robbery
There's a cash reward for information on a recent crime near Scottsville. The Fluvanna Sheriff's Office wants to find two suspects in last month's armed robbery of Kidds Store on Route 6. The Sheriff's Office and the Jefferson Area Crimestoppers are offering a $1000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of those who robbed the store on September 25th. They want to find an armed man who held up an employee while an accomplice with a shotgun confronted a customer in the parking lot. A photo of the suspect inside the store is pictured. Investigators believe the pair had a getaway vehicle that was parked behind the store until 10:30 p.m. on September 25th. If you have more information call 977-4000.

A man dubbed the 'Facebook Burglar' has been brought to justice after he posted a picture of himself posing with his ill-gotten gains to the Facebook profile of the unlucky homeowner's son.
In what must surely rank as one of the most stupid decisions in history, Rodney Knight decided that breaking into the Washington home of Washington Post journalist Marc Fisher and stealing two laptops, a coat, and $400 in cash wasn't enough: so he paused to take a photo to commemorate his crime.
Rather than keeping the image a closely-guarded secret, he then uploaded the image to Facebook – and posted it to the profile of Fisher's son.
Considering that the image in question showed Knight wearing the stolen coat, brandishing the stolen money, and posing in the house he shouldn't have been in, it proved a somewhat idiotic move – especially considering that it also provided a clear, crisp image of Knight's face into the bargain.
As you can imagine, it didn't take long for police to track him down and arrest him – and with Knight having provided the evidence against him, there was really no choice but to plead guilty.
Local news service NBC Washington reports that Knight has done exactly that, confessing his crimes of second-degree burglary and the carrying of a pistol without a licence. It is not yet known what punishment the 'Facebook Burglar' will face – but let's hope the Judge orders it posted to his profile as a deterrent to others.

Brad Pitt Begging Angelina Jolie To Become A Staty-At-Home-Mom!Joanna Mazewski
Uh-oh. It looks like the pressure of having six kids is getting to someone!
While Hollywood power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are well-equipped with a team of nannies to help take care of their family, Brad is begging his significant other to take a break from filming movies to spend more time with their brood.
In fact, sources close to the couple say Brad wants Angie to be a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom)! So far Angie has been spending a lot of time with the kids in London while he is filming his zombie flick, World War Z.
According to In Touch Weekly, a source says: "Brad has asked Angelina to take the next year off from work so that she can spend more time with the family."
"He feels like the children's emotional problems particularly Pax's tendency to act out and Shiloh's bratiness have gotten better with their mother around. He thinks they'd improve even more if they got more time with her," the source adds.
What do you think? Should Angie give up acting on the big screen to be more of a hands-on mom to her kids?

Got a minute?
Launching the RC:TNG exclusively in the United Kingdom first allowed us to study and understand user behavior at a smaller scale before we applied our leaning globally. And, we've been doing just that; I've spent the last three weeks in Google Analytics and Mouseflow. We've learned a lot, and our most recent updates reflect those lessons.
As our Career News section expands with more articles and more authors, we've found ourselves and our users thinking: "I'd like to know more about this author and their background," and "What else has this author written?" Et voilà: here is my author page.
One of the side-effects of the "maximally hobo" development methodology (briefly describe in the previous release's blog post) is that only the most important things get built. Sometimes things that are very important don't make the cut, but need to be addressed as some point. The "salary" question in the survey is one of those things. We had the basics done and working... but it needed some cleanup. We did just that.
Also, we did some work to automatically answer questions for you! If your job typically gets a bonus, we'll ask you for the bonus... and if your job typically doesn't, we don't ask you (You can still add it though)
This may sound boring, but it may actually have an impact you may see.
We've moved a chunk of our infrastructure off of our old "task queue" system an onto RabbitMQ. RabbitMQ lets computers pass messages around to each other very efficiently. Our old system worked, but it occasionally caused very high stress on our database and caused the site to perform slower than normal. But, NO MORE!
A lot of work went into this release by our team, as well as the platform team. Thanks Chris and Adam!
If you have any questions or comments, I'm happy to answer! Email me (ask for Adam) or tweet at me.

So I know if this is a really silly topic of discussion but I gave it and I wanted to hear other users thoughts. So where do your nicknames come from? I invented my nickname "Jacko" from my first name which is Jaakko and begins with the letter J. The extension of numbers comes from my birth year which is 1990 and though it sounds silly with my nickname it helps other users at recognizing me cause there's a user called Zacko. I find it often very hard to invent a catchy nickname starting with the letter J.

PHILADELPHIA, PA—How do you imagine Africa? Do you see it as the home of powerful nations? Do you think of intricately carved masks or fine art? Maybe you're interested in the peoples living in Africa today.
Imagine Africa with the Penn Museum, a twelve-month project investigating community perspectives, launches Sunday, September 18.
Drawing upon its extraordinary African collection, the Penn Museum will present more than 50 objects framed around eight broad topics. Through a variety of engagement opportunities, visitors will be asked to provide feedback on the objects and content they see, and to discuss what would make an engaging exhibition-from their point of view. Throughout the year, the Museum will engage-through a gallery installation, diverse public programming, and a rich website- in discussions with the regional community, as it begins long-range plans to re-envision its African gallery for a 21st century audience.
Collaborations with local community organizations will help produce a year of Africa-inspired public events. In addition, a range of interactive programs at area schools and community centers are part of the initiative.
Penn Museum was among the first American museums to begin collecting African art and artifacts; the Museum has about 20,000 objects in its African collection in addition to 42,000 ancient artifacts in the Egyptian collection. Most African collection objects were obtained between 1891 and 1930, hail from nearly every major cultural area of the African continent, and provide an unparalleled regional resource.

Penang International (PEN) to Seeb International (MCT) via Kuala Lumpur International (KUL) and Dubai International (DXB)
Part III
Hello and welcome to my detailed trip report about my rather complicated journey from Penang, Malaysia to Muscat, Oman. Three flights in 24 hours, with two airlines in two classes; this trip report reviews each part of this journey in a distinct format. Each flight will be divided into 'General Flight Overview', 'Departure Airport', 'Aircraft', 'Flight', 'Arrival Airport' and 'Overall impression' sections and a final score will be given at the end. More than 100 pictures should also help to convey the things I describe more vividly than my words ever could. So please, grab a cup of coffee and indulge.
This is the final part of this report, Part III, featuring the flight from DXB to MCT with Emirates. The first part of the trip report was from PEN to KUL and it can be found here. The second part of the trip report, from KUL to DXB, can be viewed here.
I currently live in Penang and I wanted to fly to Muscat to see some good friends of mine for a short holiday. As the map below shows, this is more easily said than done. A non-stop flight between PEN and MCT would be a little more than 3000 miles and would probably take about five hours. However, no such flight exists, so the only solution is to fly through hubs in order to reach the destination. I decided that KUL and DXB are probably the most sensible hubs to fly through, as they are closest to my departure and arrival cities respectively.
I also had to select which airlines to fly. To be honest, I am not a big fan of Air Asia and their LCCT in Kuala Lumpur. It is far away from the main airport terminals and the price is often only marginally below Malaysia Airlines. In addition the LCCT feels like a temporary thin aluminum construction site shack and not a terminal building. Since it is only a short hop from PEN to KUL, I decided to fly Malaysia Airlines Economy Class between the two cities. For the remainder of the journey my airline choice was clear, because I prefer Emirates over Malaysia Airlines between KUL and DXB, especially in Business Class. For the final leg between DXB and MCT, I also chose Emirates Business Class so that I could get lounge access during my four and a half hour layover in DXB. Overall, the journey I planned would be more than 3800 miles long.
General Flight Overview
Airline: Emirates Airlines (EK)
Flight number: EK 862
Origin: Dubai International Airport (DXB)
Destination: Seeb International Airport (MCT)
Distance: 217 miles
Scheduled departure time: 08:25
Scheduled flight time: 1 hour 00 minutes
Class of Travel: Business Class
Seat: 6K
Aircraft: A330-243
Registration: A6-EAM
Departure Airport
Dubai International Airport (DXB) is one of the fastest growing airports, in terms of passenger numbers, in the world today. Its Terminal 1 building is bursting at the seams and it can barely cope with the rapid expansion of Emirates and Dubai. Terminal 3 was meant to be completed by the time I transited through the airport, but its opening was sadly delayed until August 2008. I was looking forward to the new Emirates Business Class lounges, but upon reflection, as I explored the airport I was not disappointed by the old lounges either.
The colossal Terminal 1 at DXB with its high ceilings and extremely long walking distances.
One of the many moving walkways at DXB.
The large duty free area is open and busy even at four in the morning.
After arriving on EK343 from KUL at 03:32, I had five hours to investigate what Terminal 1 had to offer. I ended up walking for many miles and visited three lounges, all of which were very different from each other.

Vascular abnormalities were studied in the eyes of 14 patients with sickle cell thalassemia (S-thal). Angioid streaks were observed for the first time in a patient with S-thal. "Black sunbursts," which are seen more often in the fundi of patients with sickle cell anemia (SS disease) than in those with sickle cell hemoglobin C disease (Hb SC) were generally few in number in the fundi of patients with S-thal. Proliferative sickle retinopathy, which is much more characteristic of Hb SC than of SS disease, was seen in nine patients with S-thal. The retinas of S-thal thus resemble those of Hb SC more than SS. The hemoglobin composition of a patient's red blood cells can be predicted, to a degree, from the presence and type of certain retinal anomalies in sickling disorders. Overall clinical status is not usually as good as indicator of hemoglobin composition.
