How To Make Esquites (Warm Mexican Street Corn Salad)
Elotes—the on-the-cob version of Mexican street corn—is a staple on my balcony grill over the summer. It's about as easy and inexpensive a dish as you can think of, and there is nothing—really, nothing—that'll get snatched up and eaten as fast as a hot plate of 'em.
Get the Recipe
I'll usually count on making at least an ear and a half per person. To speed things up, I'll keep a big bowl of the sauce mixture—that's garlicky mayonnaise, crumbled cotija cheese (feta or Romano work well), chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of chili powder—at the ready so that as soon as my corn comes off the grill all nice, hot, and charred-like, it gets a dunk in the sauce, then a pass-off to a waiting mouth. That first bite of hot, charred corn, when the cheesy sauce inevitably gets smeared all over your cheeks just tastes of summer to me. Delicious, fat-smothered summer.
But there are times when a more...demure approach must be taken. When there are prim and proper aunts or brand new ties involved, for instance. For those occasions, I go for esquites, the spoon-ready version of elotes.
Rather then slathering the corn kernels with sauce, you slice them off after cooking and toss them together into a sort of hot salad that's decorous enough to consume with impunity in mixed company.
I personally tend to make esquites when I don't want to bother firing up the grill, because truth be told, it's just as tasty and easy to make indoors as it is out. The key for cooking esquites indoors is to remove the corn kernels from the cob before you cook them. I cook the kernels in a ripping hot wok (you can use a regular skillet, though it's a bit messier), letting them sit in place until the sugars caramelize and you get a deep, dark char before tossing and letting them char again.
When done right, a few kernels should jump and pop just like popcorn. I've had kernels leap clear across the apartment on occasion. A careful eye and a splatter guard will protect you from any corn kernel mortar fire.
Once the corn is charred, I toss it hot with the remaining ingredients. It can be served straight away, or is just as good at room temperature, making this an ideal picnic dish.

PromoMEDIA - advertising at the Right Time, Right Place and Right Price
Our vehicle advert specialists can offer you the best value for money when thinking about bus adverts, train station advertising and taxi ads.
We have a number of taxi advertising experts that can offer you the best deals for marketing through taxis and black cabs.
If you wish to advertise on buses, we can provide you with media planning and buying for side and rear bus ads along with bus stop and bus shelter advertising.
Vehicle advertising is a great way to reach a wide range of people who are out and about.
As vehicle advertising specialists we offer great prices and coverage on all types of vehicle advertising, these options include buses (side, back and wraps), taxis (interior and external), ad-vans, trains, trams, lorries and more.
Vehicle advertising is popular with a wide range of different companies and products as the standout and bold adverts used in them are often brilliant at grabbing the attention of either passerbys or others driving and stuck in traffic.
Here at PromoMEDIA we have carefully selected media buyers in outdoor marketing who specialise in vehicle advertising.
For more information and to speak to the team fill in the enquiry form and we'll get back to you with various vehicle marketing options and FREE quotes.
Put simply, vehicle advertising is advertising on the side or back of moving vehicles; with the most popular options including adverts on:
All of these various vechicle advertiing options are explored in more detail below but typically can include everything from vehicle advertising wraps to plastic sticky vinyls and vehicle magnet advert, attached the side of vehicles.
For more information simply read on or drop us a message and we will send over more information today.
We offer various types of bus advertising at PromoMedia, as buses come in different shapes and sizes across the UK.
The most popular options include:
At PromoMedia we think buses are a great way to get your company noticed, as many see them whilst either using them, driving or just on the streets. They are essentially an eye-catching moving billboard.
Bus advertising is often an affordable option as you are able to select the number of buses wanted. It is also sometimes possible to select the routes that they travel through certain towns and cities. As bus advertising is a great way to reach a cross-section of communities (bus routes can often cover substantial distances), we think they offer great value for money for any campaign no matter what industry you are in.
Watch our video here to learn more about bus advertising and to see them in action. For more information also head over to our dedicated page here which explains the options mentioned above in more detail - https://www.promo-media.co.uk/type-of-ads/bus-ads/
Another very popular form of vehicle advertising is taxi advertising.
This form of marketing has many of the benefits of bus ads but the added benefit that they often reach into areas not served by bus routes. They are therefore often a good back-up or as support to a bus advertising or other elements of any outdoor advertising campaign; allowing you to really dominate an area with strong messaging and advertising.
Similar to buses there are various options to consider, including:
Taxis are a popular form of advertising for many of our clients as they are used lots of different people from business people to tourists and families across the country. They are therefore used as a marketing medium by a range of industries and are particular very popular with the following sectors; the advertising of luxury brands, retail and clothes marketing and the launch of new products.
Depending on the size of the fleet of taxis available, you can also make taxi advertising work on most budgets by simply selecting how many taxis you would like to brand - this makes it an affordable option and one for those on more limited budgets.
Take a look at our video below to see taxis working their magic for a cross-section of different businesses. If you think they could work for you, contact our teams for more information and FREE quotes.
Black cab ads are a form of taxi advertising.
Their reach is often considered less than standard taxi advertsing as they are only found in the centres of the main towns and cities in the UK. That said, if your target market is likely to be people who live or work in these urban areas this form of vehicle advertising may be the best option for you.
They are particularly popular in areas such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Brighton. In these areas there are often lots of black cabs, so although your geographical reach maybe smaller (as they don't cover the whole country or city) the sheer density of people is often greater. On top of that these urbanites may also be your preferred target market depending on what you are promoting.
As with standard taxis you can brand the sides, wrap the whole vehicle or look at internal options. Also, as with standard taxi ads, interactive taxi TV screens can also be used. This types of taxi advert is becoming more and more common throughout the UK and can be set up for a reasonable price.
If you would like more information on in-taxi advertising screens ot black cab adverts please get in touch using the contact form provided.
Car wrapping is the term given to branding a whole vehicle with artwork.
This can be done with most vehicles, as mentioned above it is most commonly done with buses and taxis but some companies also do it with company cars.
If you are interested in branding your own car or company cars get in touch and we can help.
One of the best and most famous forms of car wrap advertising was the campaign which Red Bull ran a few years ago to promote their drink. It certainly got great standout.
Advans are the vans with very large posters on their backs.
They are often a cheap alternative to other forms of vehicle advertising however they are still effective.
They are often used by theatre shows where the image on the van can be the imagery of the show whilst playing the soundtrack through a stereo system. We also place ads on the side of trucks, so visit this page - https://www.promo-media.co.uk/type-of-ads/truck/ to see more on this type of marketing.
Car adverts costs can vary depending on the type of vehicle you choose to advertise on. For example, the cost to advertise on the side of a bus will not be the same as the price of taxi marketing or train station prices. It is essential to bring your price range into account before deciding on what business ads to use for your products. We advise that you talk us through what media styles you feel would be best to promote your business. We'll present you with more information regarding the business adverts you could have.
Just fill out the contact form and one of our experts can get in touch at the earliest opportunity. To get the most from traditional and online promotions we think it's always best to create innovative promotional advertisements. These types of adverts are most likely to draw people in and also have the very best end result for the business. Individuals normally discover these inventive adverts more and this then leads to them becoming focused on exactly what is being marketed.
At PromoMEDIA we believe that vehicle advertising is a fantastic way to promote nearly any business or product and with options to suit most budgets it is one of the most popular forms of marketing we deal with, get it touch today and let's get the wheels in motion.

Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management is becoming increasingly integrated across a wide and expanding set of use cases — moving beyond traditional risk management and into regulatory compliance, audit, third-party management, ethics and compliance, privacy, quality management, environmental health and safety, cybersecurity, business resilience and more. In OCEGs' 2015 GRC Maturity Survey, over 50 percent of organizations surveyed stated they are executing on an integrated GRC vision and over 80 percent claim that benefits realized have met or exceeded their expectations.
The core promise of a GRC program that integrates needs across all stakeholders is better business performance – a prerequisite for survival in today's highly competitive world. As a result, leaders across the enterprise are asking for help in setting the vision, plotting the course and implementing integrated programs that deliver real value to all organizational units. While many organizations have seen benefits from their GRC investments, building the case for business value is fundamental in getting commitment to put a high-value, sustainable GRC program in place.
Experience shows us that those organizations that manage GRC as an integrated program — involving people, processes and technologies — are more successful in delivering value to their organizations than those that simply focus on deploying technology or processes alone. An effective GRC program helps to accelerate organizational readiness and improve business performance by focusing equally on people, processes and technology. Successful programs effectively address the core elements of strategy, design and implementation — often running key initiatives concurrently in multiple work streams, each at different stages of completion.
In this slideshow, Yo Delmar, MetricStream, provides practical advice that organizations can leverage, whether building a business case for integrated GRC or expanding an existing program into a new domain. The slideshow covers key benefits and considerations when launching a GRC program, conversations that you must have with stakeholders on their GRC needs, how to factor maturity and readiness of use cases into the overall business case, the importance of grounding a business case in a realistic roadmap and finally, putting it all together in a living benefits statement.

The long-awaited Doug Free pay cut has arrived.
Free, the Cowboys' starting right tackle, has agreed to a new deal that will cut his pay from $7 million to $3.5 million this season, ESPN reports.
Cowboys owner and General Manager Jerry Jones has been saying for months that he wants Free to stay around, but that he doesn't want to pay Free $7 million. The big question has been whether the two sides could agree to a new deal that keeps Free at a more affordable price, or whether the Cowboys would release him before the start of the regular season.
As it turned out, they were able to work out a new deal long before the start of the regular season. And Free will remain on the Cowboys' offensive line for at least another year.

The Wind God's eldest son born to a female monkey, Anjana, was crazy enough as a child to think that Sun was actually a fruit. He made a leap towards the sun to eat it. Now, Mr Sun saw this upstart monkey and asked Indra for help. Mr Indra - not known for too much valour anyway - hurled his weapon (Vajra) towards this leaping monkey and KO'ed him. Our friend's jaw - hanu - was badly swollen even after Indra withdrew his weapon (thanks to the Wind God's asphyxiating boycott of the world).
And he became famous as The One With The Jaw - Hanuman.
Being the Wind God's son, he is also known Pavanputra and Maruti (son of Marut, another name for Vaayu). Anjana's son makes him Anjaneya. His thunderous strength makes him Bajrangbali. And his box-office clout makes The Return of Hanuman.
He has forty names like these, which are reverentially recited by bachelors and wrestlers among others.
That a child could be as naughty as to make a beeline for the Sun was quite unprecedented. In honour of this feat, naughty children are called Hanuman even today. (At least in Bengali. Am not sure of other languages.)
You would think that a god's fist on the jaw would reform him but Hanuman was a different kettle of fish altogether.
First things first, he was invincible and he knew that any attempt to harm him would mean an immediate boycott of the universe by his dad. Life without air can be really suffocating and people suffered Hanuman's mischiefs silently.
His favourite trick was apparently to disrupt yagnas and use his superpowers to leap out of sight. One of the sages (I forget the name) devised a ploy to stop him. He gave him a curse to forget his superpowers.
Now, this was really ingenious. No harm came to Hanuman and therefore it remained out of radar for Pavan. Since Hanuman himself forgot that he is capable of wielding a mean mace and leaping long distances, he never attempted any mischief that needed any of the above to escape from. So he became a simple monkey and generally hung around Sugreev around the monkey kingdom of Kishkindhya.
To cut a long story short, Hanuman was soon standing in front of a raging sea with a bunch of monkeys and two humans called Ram and Laxman. They knew that Ram's wife was abducted to an island beyond the sea but they wanted somebody to hop across and confirm it. Hanuman was whistling around the beach when a learned monkey (probably, Jambuban) realised he had made a leap for the Sun as a kid and jumping across Palk Strait would be a cakewalk for him!
So, he started reminding Hanuman about his prowess and egged him to take what was a small step for monkey and a giant leap for mankind. Hanuman had blissfully forgotten what he was capable of and only when Jambuban played the Karz theme on his guitar, did he remember!
The rest, as they say, is history!
Curses by the sages have been put to good use quite a few times in the epics.
There were these two blokes by the name of Nal and Neel - in the Monkey Army. When they were kids, they had the habit of - well - monkeying around. They used to attack yagnas, pick up the holy implements and utensils and throw them in the nearby rivers. The exasperated sages had to stop this sinking feeling and cursed them that anything they threw in the river would not sink!
Now, when the Bridge Over the Sea had to be constructed, this curse came to use. The Monkey Army used to go all over the place, uproot trees, collect boulders and hand them to these guys. They used to stand at the edge of the sea and throw all the stuff into it. True to their curse, nothing sank and the bridge got made!
A parallel story says that Nal and Neel were foster sons of Lord Vishwakarma (The Celestial Engineer) and had special expertise in construction and civil engineering. But I like the curse angle better!
Anyway, to get back to Hanuman, people would know that he is one of the 5 Immortals in Hindu mythology (along with Ashwathama, Balaram and two more Unforgettables whom I have forgotten). He continued his good work even in Mahabharat.

Blossom Pilates and Soul
I operate a pilates business that's currently called Pin-up Girl Pilates http://www.pinupgirlpilates.com where my mission is to create an empowered community of women who embrace their strength, power and femininity.
But as my brand has continued to mature, I am changing the name and concept. The studio that will be launching in 30-60 days is called Blossom Pilates and Soul, or Blossom Pilates and Soul Center.
Vision: Blossom is a boutique Pilates studio in a hip, urban area of San Diego, specializing in private and group pilates equipment classes- specifically reformer classes. But the brand goes far beyond the physical exercise. This is a lifestyle brand that celebrates each woman's journey of self-discovery and true expression. Blossom is at once a fun, vibrant and sexy brand and also a soulful and transformational brand.
Purpose of studio:
Getting in shape can be an intimidating venture for women. We will become known as one of the most friendly, fun and sassiest pilates studios in San Diego, where women go to get empowered, get fit and get connected.
Potential taglines are:
-Claim the goddess within
-Open to your inner goddess
-Align with your inner goddess
-Open to your Magnificence
-Algin with your Power
30 something profile A:
This client rents or works in the nearby area, is sociable and enjoys fitness as a way of life. She engages in numerous physical activities. She will come for the fun group workouts, but she will stay because she feels like she belongs. She will help to shape the community upon which the Blossom brand is based.
30 something profile B:
This client owns her home and may also work in the nearby area. She is on the dating scene and is focused on personal transformation—feeling and looking her best—in mind, body and spirit. She wants the customized programming and personal attention of one-on-one sessions. She is not a class joiner. She travels a lot for work or pleasure so her schedule is sometimes inconsistent. Still she is a dedicated and focused student and makes pilates and exercise a priority in her life. She has disposable income and spends her money on fine wine, designer handbags and expensive shoes.
50 something
This client lives in an established neighborhood and is married or divorced. She is in a life stage of transformation, and willl respond to the soulful, personalized culture at Blossom. She also wants her sexy body back. She wants increased muscle tone, stamina and core conditioning, and will train in private sessions 3 x week. She is focused on her health and appearance and has time and money to spend.
I am looking for a logo to represent Blossom Pilates and Soul
I envision a couple of different directions with the logo but want your creative spin:
1. Using the 7 Chakra colors and/or flowers as a design element e.g.:
2. Instead of incorporating a flower into the logo, trying another element that fits into the idea of opening/becoming/exercising/movement
3. A few brush strokes that look like a woman dancing or standing with her arms stretched up to the heavens
4. A logo that incorporates an infinity sign or the figure 8 into the design. The figure 8 could also be the silloette of a woman's figure
Here are a few things to think about:
1.While Blossom celebrates women's beauty, it's not a "pretty" brand. I am not looking for pastels and fairy dust. I want playful, cool, fresh and smart.
2. Nothing too elegant - I do not want to come across as being fancy or unaccessible. I want woman to feel like they can not only afford to work out here a couple times a week, but that they BELONG in this studio.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. I want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
Please feel free to experiment with colors!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

I was one of those little kids who were often called "a fish." You know the type — a pint-sized 3- or 4-year-old who could swim like a champ and would rather spend all day playing underwater in a swimming pool than doing anything else.
I was one of those little kids who were often called "a fish." You know the type — a pint-sized 3- or 4-year-old who could swim like a champ and would rather spend all day playing underwater in a swimming pool than doing anything else.
My Mom nearly drowned as a teenager, and while she never learned to swim herself, she was adamant about giving me and my sisters swimming lessons. To her credit, all three of us are excellent swimmers today. My swimming abilities even helped pay for school. I swam competitively through my teens and early 20s and today, I enjoy swimming as my favorite form of exercise.
It follows that investigating the history of the bathing suit is a topic of interest for me.
In the early years of the 20th century, there were strict laws that required women to be fully clothed when taking a swim. The bathing suit requirements of the day included a non-form-fitting costume that consisted of a dress, pantaloons, cap and shoes. Most women obliged and frolicked in the waves in full length swimming attire, while others took their chances with a more revealing bathing suit. Most woolen — yes, woolen as in wool — swimsuits of the early decades of the 1900s were basic black.
All of that changed in the summer of 1905, when Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman announced her desire to become the first woman to swim the English Channel. She attempted the feat amid controversy over her bathing suit. Kellerman sparked an international stir when she was arrested for wearing a one-piece woolen swimming suit. She omitted the pantaloons, cap and shoes and started a tidal wave of talk. Obscenity laws aside, Kellerman started a swimsuit revolution.
By the 1920s-30s, bright colors, synthetic fabrics and a more feminine shape emerged in the style of swimsuits. The famous Jantzen swimsuit manufacturing firm made the diving girl logo a beach blanket image, and everything from billboards to bumper stickers donned the famous logo.
In the 1940s, convertible straps that could be unfastened were introduced in part to prevent tan lines.
Today, vintage swimsuits bring high values on the vintage couture market.
High-end swimsuits from the 1950s, like those designed by Christian Dior, command $1,000 to $2,000, while more mainstream brands like Catalina dating to the mid-1900s are worth $50 to $350 per suit.
The 1950s emphasized the hourglass figure with a "bubble suit" featuring cotton material and low-cut top. The 1960s swimsuits saw an interest in showing off the mid-drift, too. Two-piece polyester bathing suits of the era were still conservative and covered up one's belly button.
By the 1970s, swimsuits were a far cry from the cover-up-everything style bathing suits of the early 1960s. Later, Speedo swimsuits from the 1980s featured Lycra materials and straightforward styles.
Vintage swimsuits in good condition always bring interest from collectors, and celebrity suits are all the rage. For instance, Pamela Anderson's one-piece red Speedo lifeguard bathing suit from her role on "Baywatch" recently sold for $275.

Thayer app. numbers increase by 35 percent
The Dartmouth
February 16, 2012
While application rates for incoming classes at Dartmouth Medical School and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences have been consistent with those of previous years, the Thayer School of Engineering has seen a notable increase in its application pool, which grew by approximately 35 percent for the class entering in Fall 2012.
At Thayer, PhD and master's programs received a combined 391 applications, up from 290 in 2011, according to Director of Public Information Catharine Lamm. The same programs experienced a 3 percent decrease in applications from 2010 to 2011.
Thayer professor Alexander Hartov, director of both Thayer graduate programs, said he was unsure why the programs experienced a surge in popularity. The increase in applications could be due to the current global economic situation, in which more individuals are going back to school to receive advanced degrees, he said.
Although the graduate programs have not been heavily advertised, officials at Thayer have tried "to position ourselves to be seen as an attractive place to come and do graduate studies," Hartov said.
Thayer has also seen a significant increase in applications for its separate Master of Engineering Management program, according to Lamm. Applications for the first admissions period — for which the deadline was January 15 — rose from 199 in 2010 to 254 in 2011 and to 341 this year. These numbers reflect increases of 28 and 34 percent, respectively.
The MEM program admits about 50 students to each entering class, according to professor Robert Graves, the program's director.
"The more applications we get, it increases the intensity of our efforts to determine those applicants who would appear to be the kind of students who would succeed in the program," Graves said.
Thayer's MEM program is part of a consortium of similar programs at schools including Stanford University, Duke University, Cornell University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Northwestern University.
Graves said the increasing interest in the program reflects "the growing general recognition that a combination of management and engineering is a fantastic career for the future."
Rather than buying advertising for the program, Thayer relies on op-ed pieces in the national and international press for recognition, which serve the dual purpose of creating interest in the program and alerting potential employers to the benefits of hiring MEM graduates, Graves said.
MEM student Joe Zabinski Th '13 said the program's intention of pivoting people between business and engineering is effective and offers a "valuable" education. Half of the program's courses are taught by Tuck School of Business faculty.
"People are recognizing that there's a real demand for people at the intersection of engineering and business," Zabinski said.

Memorial Day Weekend – Remembering Those Who Fought For Us
May 28 2012
Memorial Day is a great day to remember the many freedoms we have because of those who volunteered or were drafted to fight for our American way of life. There are many around the world who cannot gather with their friends and family so freely, eat barbeque, drink beer (I'm not a beer drinker, but it's fun watching others drink beer), watch the kids play, and just have a good time.
This weekend the kids and I got to spend time with some very long time friends who have been like family to me for close to 25 years now. Our kids have grown up together and someone this weekend called them "college cousins" which I thought was a very nice term given I met my best friend in college.
As much as we often struggle to pave the way for our kids, it's nothing compared to those who have stood on the front lines to defend us the past hundreds of years. Thank you to those who have served so we can enjoy our freedom!Author: Aruni | Filed under: holiday, travel | Tags: barbecue, beer, college cousins, memorial day | 5 Comments »

Most Other Job Boards Only Post Ads for Employers Who Pay to Post There. Think about this for a minute. If a job board is only posting positions for companies that are paying to post their jobs there, how many positions do you think the job board is going to have? Essentially this means that you are going to be at the whim of how well the job board markets and whether or not the employers they market to have enough money to post ads-or are willing to do so. That is the reason why other job boards have less than 5% of the jobs that are on MarketingCrossing. Are we making sense yet?
MarketingCrossing does not charge employers to post jobs. In fact, it goes one step further by having a staff of more than a hundred full-time employees who do nothing but research the market and put the jobs they find on our site at no cost to employers. In addition, we contact employers and ask them to post their jobs with us, and because we are not charging them to do so, they almost always post jobs with us when they have jobs.
Most Other Job Boards Are Not Specialized. When a job board is not specialized, you get a smattering of everything. You may find some marketing jobs, but you will not find even a fraction of the jobs that are out there. Most job boards are not specific, and for that reason, they are primarily a waste of your time.
All we do at MarketingCrossing is post marketing jobs. We are extremely good at this. Because we are so specialized, we know everywhere we can find the jobs, and we know every employer who can offer them. Our efforts are focused. We are also a company that specializes exclusively in the marketing industry. We have numerous marketing professionals working for us. In addition, we are a content-based organization that writes extensively about the marketing world. Accordingly, we are in touch with what is going on.

A while back i upgraded most of my pc hardware; everything except motherboard, cpu and monitor. Everything worked smoothly. But shortly after - i think in conjunction with plugging in a new set of speakers - all video suddenly suffered a noticable delay. It's weird, cause i've had random audio delays several times before, but they've all corrected themselves after a week or so. This has stabilized at a 40 ms video delay and stayed that way for months. Did my video card fry itself? Is my motherboard just crap since i've had (kind of) similar issues before? Is my monitor getting old? I've tried two different monitors and gotten the same effect, but they were both old LCDs.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Sales at U.S. retailers rose by a modest 0.2% in December as Americans stocked up on food and drinks for the holidays, bought more clothes and purchased more goods online, according to government data issued Tuesday.
The increase in sales last month would have been a healthier 0.7% if the auto sector was excluded., the Commerce Department reported. Auto sales hit a post-recession high in November but then tapered off last month.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast sales to fall 0.1% overall but rise 0.4% excluding autos. Retail sales account for about one-third of consumer spending, the main engine of economic growth.
The better-than-expected increase in sales helped lift U.S. stocks in Tuesday action. Read Market Snapshot.
What tempered the gains in the final month of the year were reductions in the pace of retail sales for November and October. The sales increase for November was lowered to 0.4% from 0.7%, while the increase for October was trimmed one-tenth to 0.5%.
"U.S. retailers rang in the holiday with a bang, but the shine from December's news was dulled by a downward revision to November," said economist Avery Shenfeld of CIBC World Markets.
The increase in sales last month was also uneven. Some sectors such as online retailers ended the year with a bang while others such as electronic and appliance stores continued to struggle.
By and large, 2013 turned out to be a so-so year for retailers. Sales unadjusted for inflation rose by 4.2%, marking the smallest annual gain since the recession ended in mid-2009. The increase looked better when taking low inflation into account, however.
Still, sales in the final three months of 2013 showed a marked improvement compared to the third quarter. What's unclear is if will the momentum will carry through into the first few months of the new year or whether sales will continue to wax and wane as they have done since the recession ended.
What will help retailers in 2014 is the absence of a major tax increase like the one that kicked in at the start of last year and socked millions of Americans. Lower gas prices could also give consumers a bit more money to spend this year.
Inside the report
In December, food and beverage stores generated the biggest boost in sales: A 2% increase after two straight declines. The spike — the biggest since 2006 — was possibly a result of more people eating at home because of the cold weather.
Apparel stores also benefited from wintry weather, with consumers snapping up heavy coats, shirts, boats and other warm clothing. Many firms had to discount heavily, however, so that could have eaten into profits.
Sales also rose 1.4% at Internet and mail-order stores as they continue to take market share away from traditional retail outlets. Department stores, for example, registered a 0.7% drop while general stores barely eked out a 0.1% gain in December.
Sales also rose 1.6% at gas stations last month to reflect somewhat higher cost at the pump.
Sales at auto dealerships, meanwhile, dropped 1.6%. Auto dealers attracted lots of buyers in November with big discounts to kick off the holiday season, likely cutting into the sales that would have occurred in December. Autos account for about one-quarter of all retail sales.
The amount of money consumers spent at electronics and appliance stores fell an even sharper 2.5%. Sales in that category actually declined slightly over the past 12 months, another sign of online stores like Amazon making inroads at the expense of companies such as Best Buy.
Hampered by the weather, home-improvement retailers and outlets that sell sports and hobby items also saw a decline in purchases last month.

Call for participation on mksysb
Ask any AIX system administrator and they will tell you that Linux is not ready for the real work. Many reasons are given, but one of recurring technical reasons is that there is no mksysb for Linux.
mksysb on AIX is a tool to do an (online) backup of your system in order to do a bare metal restore. It produces a bootable medium (tape, image, DVD) that restores the system partitioning/LVM configuration and restores the original filesystems for disaster recovery.

And i think there a shoe in to beat the Dolphins in Miami.
The Chiefs?. Sure, why not?. The Dolphins, might be... although it won't be easy in Miami. They're playing for their first win, and still have a good D. As fot the Chargers at San Diego... keep dreaming. That team still is one of the most talented of the league.
btw, I think San Diego's biggest problem was losing Wade Phillips, not Marty nor hiring Norv. Their D is allowing too many points. And it's one thing to do so against the Pats... but a true contender just can't allow 31 points to the Packers, much less when they didn't have a running game during that game.

Release Note for VigorAP 902
Firmware Version: 18.104.22.168
Release Type: Normal
Applied Models: VigorAP 902
With this high cost-efficiency VigorAP 902, computers and wireless devices which are compatible
with 802.11ac can connect to existing wired Ethernet network via this VigorAP 902. Easy install
procedures allows users to setup a network environment in very short time - within minutes, even
inexperienced users.
New Features
Improved: A wireless vulnerability, known as 'KRACK' was discovered in October 2017.
This affected wireless clients, including phones, tablets, laptops and also any wireless
base acting as a client.
For full details, see https://www.krackattacks.com. The recommended action in all cases
is to upgrade your client devices as that is where the vulnerability lies however if that is
impossible because the product is too old or the vendor does not provide updates, it is
possible to mitigate KRACK exploitation by disabling EAPOL-Key retries on the base
station and reduce the possibility of KRACK being used. For more details, see
https://www.krackattacks.com/#ap-mitigations. That can be done from "Wireless LAN >>
Security Settings" on the access point. Upgrading your client is still the preferable
Known Issue
To enhance the security among wireless clients, the SSIDs on the different bands (2.4GHz
/ 5GHz) will be isolated. That is, wireless clients with different bands can not
communicate with each others even they are on the same subnet.

|[jira] Commented: (AMQ-2475) If tmp message store fills up, broker can deadlock due to while producers wait on disk space and consumers wait on acks
|Thu, 17 Jun 2010 16:25:52 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2475?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=60133#action_60133 ] Michael Cooper commented on AMQ-2475: ------------------------------------- Rob, wow, quick response! I reviewed the change carefully, and it looks good for the most part. A couple potential issues though: In FilePendingMessageCursor: - Why did you add a "throws Exception" clause to original and try versions of the method? Doesn't seem to be used. - The end of the tryAddMessageLast method returns false. I think this should probably be true instead, because if the caller passes an expired message, it will now loop forever retrying to add it. In TopicSubscription: While the fix you made is probably the safest fix, I think the ideal fix would not have to even make a check for matched.isFull() since the tryAddMessageLast method should return false if it is full and cannot add the message. However, this requires implementing tryAddMessageLast in all implementations of PendingMessageCursor. Also, the fix version of the bug may need to be updated. > If tmp message store fills up, broker can deadlock due to while producers wait on disk space and consumers wait on acks > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AMQ-2475 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2475 > Project: ActiveMQ > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Broker, Message Store, Transport > Affects Versions: 5.3.0 > Environment: Tested on Windows XP with JDK 1.60_13, but fairly sure it will be an issue on all platforms > Reporter: Martin Murphy > Assignee: Rob Davies > Fix For: 5.3.1, 5.4.0 > > Attachments: activemq.xml, hangtest.zip, Queue.java, Queue.patchfile.txt, Topic.java, Topic.patchfile.txt, TopicSubscription.java, TopicSubscription.patchfile.txt > > > I will attach a simple project that shows this. In the test the tmp space is set to 32 MB and two threads are created. One thread will constantly produce 1KB messages and the other consumes these, but sleeps for 100ms, note that producer flow control is turned off as well. The goal here is to ensure that the producers block while the consumers read the rest of the messages from the broker and catch up, this in turn frees up the disk space and allows the producer to send more messages. This config means that you can bound the broker based on disk space rather than memory usage. > Unfortunately in this test using topics while the broker is reading in the message from the producer it has to lock the matched list it is adding it to. This is an abstract from the Topic's point of view and doesn't realize that the file may block based on the file system. > {code} > public void add(MessageReference node) throws Exception { //... snip ... > if (maximumPendingMessages != 0) { > synchronized (matchedListMutex) { // We have this mutex > matched.addMessageLast(node); // ends up waiting for space > // NOTE - be careful about the slaveBroker! > if (maximumPendingMessages > 0) { > {code} > Meanwhile the consumer is sending acknowledgements for the 10 messages it just read in (the configured prefetch) from the same topic, but since they also modify the same list in the topic this waits as well on the mutex held to service the producer: > {code} > private void dispatchMatched() throws IOException { > synchronized (matchedListMutex) { // never gets passed here. > if (!matched.isEmpty() && !isFull()) { > {code} > This is a fairly classic deadlock. The trick is now how to resolve this given the fact that the topic isn't aware that it's list may need to wait for the file system to clean up. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

The term Holy See comes from the Latin Sancta Sedes, meaning "Holy Chair," and originates from the enthronement ceremony of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. Strictly speaking, the cathedra, i.e. the chair or throne, represents the position and authority of the Holy Father or a bishop, and the place where he resides in the territory of his jurisdiction. Here the Holy See refers to the "seat of government" of the universal Church. Geographically, this seat of government is located in the Diocese of Rome. In terms of actual governance, the Holy See refers specifically to the position of the Holy Father, who "by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, namely, and as pastor of the entire Church, has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered" (Dogmatic Constitution of the Church, #22), and by extension the Curia, which consists of the Secretariat of State, the Council for Public Affairs of the Church, the Sacred Congregations, tribunals, and other institutions and offices (Code of Canon Law, #360).
The Holy See is also interchangeable with the term "Apostolic See." The Code of Canon Law provides the following definition: "…The term 'Apostolic See' or 'Holy See' applies not only to the Roman Pontiff but also to the Secretariat of State, the Council for the Public Affairs of the Church, and other institutions of the Roman Curia, unless the nature of the matter or the context of the words makes the contrary evident" (#361).
The term "see," from the Latin "sedes," is actually the technical term for all dioceses and the places of residence for their bishops. For example, Bishop Loverde is the Bishop of the "See of Arlington" and his cathedral of residence is the Cathedral of St. Thomas More, also in Arlington; the cathedral also houses the bishop's cathedra or throne. Originally, sedes designated the Churches founded by the Apostles, and later limited particularly to the five great patriarchal sees: Rome, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Constantinople; interestingly, to this day, these latter four patriarchs follow the Holy Father in honor.
This understanding and ordering is reflected in the pronouncement of the Popes: For example, Pope Gelasius I (492-496) declared, "Est ergo prima Petri apostoli sedes" (i.e. "Therefore, the first is the seat of the Apostle Peter"). In the Liber Pontificalis of Pope Leo III (795-816), the following prescript is recorded: "Nos sedem apostolicam, quae est caput omnium Dei ecclesiarum judicare non audemus" ("We dare not judge the Apostolic See, which is the head of all the Churches of God"). Clearly, the terms "Holy See" and "Apostolic See" evolved to refer specifically to the authority of the Holy Father and Rome.
Interestingly, each February 22, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter. To celebrate the feast of a "chair" at first hearing, sounds strange. However, "the chair" refers to the primacy and authority our Lord entrusted to St. Peter, which together are a unifying strength for the whole Church; so, really the "Holy See" is what is celebrated and honored. This primacy and authority are symbolized by the monument of the chair of St. Peter located against the wall of the apse behind the main altar in St. Peter's basilica sculpted in bronze by the artist Bernini; the sculpture is a reliquary for what is traditionally believed to have been the original chair or cathedra of St. Peter. Again, what is of importance is not so much the actual chair, but what that chair symbolizes– the Holy See.

Best Music Player For Ubuntu - Exaile?
On the other hand Linux music players have been simply amazing! I have been hooked on to Amarok for quite some time now, however I tried Exaile the other day and now it has become my most favorite player for Ubuntu, perhaps even overtaking Amarok. Read on to know more about Exaile:
Exaile tries to be for Gnome what Amarok is for KDE. The developers started with this aim and hence the final product is an amazing player which matches, if not betters many of Amarok's strength. Exaile is written in Python. The first thing you will notice is the size of download package. You will be surprised to find out that Exaile weighs in at only 1 MB! Installation can be done by either using Synaptic or by grabbing it from the downloads page.
Since Exaile is an native Gnome app, it starts up almost instantaneously as compared to Amarok which requires quite some time to start up, since it needs to load various KDE libraries. It also integrates better with my Ubuntu setup. Exaile tries to mimic Amarok very closely. Long time users of Amarok will find themselves at home with Exaile.
One of the my most favorite feature in Exaile which sets it apart from from other Gnome players like Banshee is the Volume Controler, most Gnome players like Banshee and Totem have the dropdown volume controller which is so Windows 95. Exaile has an proper slider volume button. I know it isn't a big deal for most, but still it is these small things which go on to make a big difference in the user experiance. Exaile also offers tabbed playlists.
Like Firefox, Exaile's features can be extended by installing various plugins. Thankfully installing plugins is an one click process. You can add or remove plugins by going to Edit > Plugins. Exaile loads a list of available plugins and you have to merely check or uncheck the plugins which you want or don't want.
As with all Linux Players Exaile too comes with features like Wikipedia integeration, fetching cover art from Amazon, Lyrics and On Screen Display (like the one at the top of this blog). Surprisingly iPod support is absent in Exaile however it can be added to Exaile by the means of a plugin.
Exaile has an album art collector. The main benefit is that you can get album art for your entire music collection with one click, and oh no credit card required (listening Apple?).
There are still few minor flaws, which I am sure will be taken care of in the later releases. Namely as I said before, lack of iPod support out-of-the-box, better Wkipedia integeration, the current integeration is more like Firefox in a music player and how about Cover FLow or atleast displaying cover art in the layouts as in WMP 11?
I would definitely recommend you to try out Exaile. It makes Banshee look like a monkey.
Although Exaile cannot play videos as of yet, however come version 1, I am sure we are gonna get one player which will topple Amarok out of the number one position!
You can download Exaile here.

Why did you have to put 'Ubuntu' in there? Why the distro discrimination? Exaile is for Linux, not just Ubuntu. If anything it might be considered 'for Gnome' due to it being GTK, but you can still use it in kde, xfce, etc... so even that is a weak point.ReplyDelete
If your reviewing an application, re view the application... no need to bring distros into it.
I use Ubuntu so I do tend to use Ubuntu a lot. Also putting KDE wouldn't be possible since Exaile would be slower on KDE since it would have to load Gnome libraries.
- AnonymousOctober 15, 2008 at 9:50 PM
I too am a Gnome user and have replaced Amarok with Exaile. Each new version fixes little bugs, it is now my preferred player due to it's better Gnome integration. I care not for iPod integration as I use Creative Zens and use gnomad2 to update them. I have tried Banshee and Songbird but did not like the layout or the "workflow" when creating playlists.ReplyDelete
Exaile is the best.
- AnonymousOctober 16, 2008 at 4:10 AM
A correction... Windows does have a few decent mp3 players (not counting wmp of course, even the sound quality is crappy on that) Winamp is an example of a player that has good support for current features and isn't a resource hog.ReplyDelete
- weizboxOctober 16, 2008 at 9:31 AM
So, why not just put 'for Gnome' instead? Why exclude all the other distros for something that isnt distro-specific?
Just because YOU use Ubuntu, doesnt mean this article HAS TO be about Ubuntu when dealing with a GTK application.
'Also putting KDE wouldn't be possible since Exaile would be slower on KDE since it would have to load Gnome libraries.'
That is 100% false. Please actually know how the system works before making such a comment. Run the test yourself, you'll see no difference in speed.
On my PC with 1.25 GB RAM Amarok takes 7 sec where as Exaile takes 3 sec. Since Exaile is an Gnome app it doesn't have to load KDE libraries in order to run. Amarok would start earlier on Kubuntu than Exaile. Hence the name Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu.
You are right about the Gnome thing, OK I'd use Gnome next time.

Windows Media Player does indeed retrieve album art. Typical (sad) Linux Zealot FUD.ReplyDelete
Dear AnonymousReplyDelete
With Exaile, you can download album art for entire music collection with one click of the mouse. It also retrieves album art automatically when music starts playing. With WMP it has to be retrieved manually. I have about 1000 songs. Best of luck trying to do that here.

Being an avid music fan, ive tried my hands on a lot of different music players, both on windows and on linux. Winamp is by far my favorite, but exaile is my music player of choice on linux. Not to say that its better than amarok, just that im on gnome and amarok actually does take a lot of time to load, also, to build its library (I have abt 60-70 gb of music at any time). Nice work by developers. Lyrics fetchng doesnt work on my system though, it simply just crashes, otherwise its great.ReplyDelete
- Salman, KhwajaDecember 29, 2008 at 12:39 AM
I agree with what the writer has document. After trying Exaile on Gnome / Ubuntu, I have similar feelings. The interface is simple, and the developer has worked on the saying "LESS IS MORE". I loved the feature of giving me the tablature of my songs, which are found. It is a gift for a music enthusiast like me.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 7, 2009 at 1:17 PM
Well, exaile still has a long way to go. I use it only because i'm on gnome. But with Amarok 2 coming soon i will probably switch to KDE solely for the music player.ReplyDelete
And indeed foobar is the best music player ever.

Just downloaded the lastest Exaile for Ubuntu, it's very nice in gnome and performs well. Except for a few things I prefer this to Rhythmbox or Banshee. A dedicates podcast tab and video support would be nice. If Amarok 2 is coming soon I do hope Exaile keeps up.ReplyDelete

Personally, if Winamp is available for Ubuntu (without having to use Wine), i'd go for it out of familiarity :). Yeah, i was a Windows user :D
Sorry to tell this but,I am not satisfied with Exaile. I used Amarok instead. Amarok is a Cross Platform player supporting all formats like DivX, MPEG, MP3, OGG, AAC, AVI, MP3, MP4, WMV and many more. It features music tagging, intelligent playlist creation & organising. It utilizes KDE components when used in Gnome Environment. On the other hand, Exaile would be slow in KDE. click here:"http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/360/best-of-the-lot-my-top-5-media-players-for-ubuntu"ReplyDelete
