Being ahead of the zeitgeist when it comes to tech innovation might pay off in terms of user engagement and seasonal storytelling, but does it really pay? The trick to really increasing ROI is to turn the shareable into the shoppable – something that, in 2014, should be at the forefront of a fashion brand's strategy.
So what kinds of technology can brands utilise to increase those sales? Online or offline, the trick is a melding of the digital and real world with no discernible difference – the customer's journey is seamless at every point of contact (and, hopefully, every pay point). Shoppable videos, for example, are starting to gain traction as a more-than-viable way to convert browsers into shoppers. NY-based 'touchable video' specialists Cinematique reported an average 13% conversion rate earlier this year – a figure much higher than anything a banner ad could deliver. Wirewax's taggable video work with Pepe Jeans, meanwhile, had 45% of users clicking an average of 3 times. The more brands engage with the technology, the more the tactic's ROI can be proven – luxury brands like Gucci, who have already experimented in this area, might help kickstart the trend long-term.
Also bubbling under the digital strategies of fashion's biggest players are augmented reality applications. Burberry was among the first to embrace AR back in 2011, celebrating its Beijing store opening with an AR catwalk show in which holographic models walked alongside real ones. But fast-forward to 2014, and branded phone apps are using layered realities to drive retail purchases in store. Plus, the universal cart – launched last year by London-based fashion site Lyst – is allowing users to buy luxury items all over the web, in one place. Spring, a new dedicated shopping app, also offers mobile users hundreds of brands at their fingertips.
Technologies like shoppable videos, in-store AR apps and universal carts work because they allow consumers to feel totally in charge of their own retail experience, all whilst increasing brand loyalty with their added ease and innovation. Our New York summit will play host to some of the industry's most influential players in retail-oriented tech: speakers will include Alan Tisch, founder of Spring, along with a retail panel, headed up by Jared Schiffman (Perch Interactive) and Dan Garraway (Wirewax) focussing on the coolest tech – with the most tangible ROI – around.
Can't wait that long? Our Milan summit is calling – a day dedicated to exploring the new possibilities of Omnichannel, on October 22nd.

Just recently finished this piece for The Hive's upcoming Heaven and Hell group show. It kicks off in LA, this Saturday night.
Sometimes when I get stuck on ideas for paintings, I tend to sift through childhood memories for inspirato, or read stories on urban legends, folklore, or myths. I think it just gives me something to think about while I'm sitting there hours on end, painting.
The concept of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is an interesting one to me. Aside from the biblical associations, the story of riders on horseback seeking redemption, spans a lot of cultures. Different parts of Europe have their own version of it, The Wild Hunt.
Let's not forget the cowboy version. Stan Jones wrote the song Ghost Riders in the Sky in 1948. Apparently an old cowboy friend told him the story when he was twelve. Let's face it though. Out of all the people that have covered that song, there's only one musician that did it the best. Ghost Riders in the Sky was also the first guitar riff my dad taught me when I was a kid. (Childhood memory. Full circle!)
Long live the Man in Black.

(This post is by Kim Moore : BCU Mental Health Nurse Lecturer)
Current debates on health services are never far from headline news these days. In the wake of the Stafford Hospitals inquiry and the emerging issues of Morecambe Bay Hospital the role of the Care Quality Commission in monitoring and applying quality assurance standards to others seems somewhat hypocritical.
Public confidence in the work of the CQC has been seriously undermined by its own management team and the ability as an organisation to meet its own stated objectives (parliamentary business post can be found here).
What of CQC's new role in policing "openness and transparency" in the NHS? Recommendation 16 in the Francis enquiry (Vol 1, pp 415) clearly called for an independent examination of the commissioning, supervisory and monitoring bodies on learning to identify "failing hospitals" with a "level playing field for accountability" (Recommendation 82) with the clearly identified the consequences of "hiding information about poor care to become a criminal offence" (PM statement Feb 2013 ).
The breaking news of Morecambe Bay Hospital highlights the problems of who monitors the monitor, and to whom they are accountable for poor or misleading practice. The finding from the Parliamentary committee was to severely criticise the function and performance of the CQC, despite the criticism what remains unclear to me are those consequences that Francis outlined when such a clear management failure has been found.

We're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tale in the shadow of Jordan; who is the real alpha dog? It's this source of expression and personal comedy/tragedy that makes the game so compelling. There's nowhere to hide out there.
No site captures this feel more than the great Free Darko, which we read like a doctor's chart every day during the NBA season. They understand the dichotomy between individual achievement and collective glory, and how those are not mutually exclusive. And they've got a way with letters too. Right now, they're actually doing a writeup on every single NBA player.
Therefore, we've asked them to look at the arcs of certain players going into this season, what 2007-08 means to them, their teams and their legacies. They'll be previewing a player a day, up to tipoff.
Today: Steve Nash. Your author is Brown Recluse, Esq. His words are after the jump.
Michael Jordan has ruined basketball for an entire generation.
For evidence, look no further than Kobe Bean Bryant. Not the current imbroglio with the Lakers, which is the sort of thing Michael kept largely out of public view, but the walk, the turnaround jumper and, most important, the obsessive need to be the best. Jordan's competitive nature is now celebrated so widely that holding a petty grudge, such as Arenas' pledge to score 50 on the Blazers, is acknowledged as a sign of immaturity, but also interpreted as a sign of potential greatness. It's what Jordan would have done. Jordan's hegemony over the league has meant that there is only one way for a player to be competitive. Crush. Kill. Destroy. In fact, anyone not possessing such a single-mindedness is seen as deficient, even weak.
Steve Nash offers up a different path. Much has been made of Nash's "Canadian reticence," but you best believe that he wants to win as badly as anyone who has ever played this game, including His Airness. It's just that Nash doesn't strive to beat his opponent; he wants to beat the game. A recent article in Play, a publication whose name belies the seriousness with which professional athletes are supposed to approach their sport, relates a story about Nash figuring out that passing the ball out using only one hand was three-tenths of a second faster than doing it with two. That's indicative of Nash's obsessive focus and drive to win, a mind in constant motion, just as he is with the rock in his hands. Nash sees basketball as a puzzle, not as a contest.
In the same article, the author mentions a series of games of H-O-R-S-E between Nash and Leandro Barbosa that ended in a tie. It's a safe bet that Michael Jordan has never tied at anything in his life.
All of this is not to say that Nash steps on the court and sees chess pieces. He is a human being, after all. And the king he most wants to checkmate isn't the one wearing a crown and being carried around on a throne. He's the one wearing the rings. Four of them, to be exact. As much as the Suns are cast as the anti-Spurs—"fun and gun" to the Spurs "right way"—the player in the league most like Steve Nash is Tim Duncan. They share a cerebral approach to the game and a certain off-court inscrutability. I have no idea what Duncan feels about the war or how much he paid to download "In Rainbows," but I'd be willing to wager that if he and Nash were stuck in an airport together, they'd discover that they have a thing or two in common.
You can also be certain that Nash hasn't forgotten about the bloody nose, being checked into the bench by Robert Horry or having to play one of the most important games of his life two men down. Nash isn't out to hurt anyone or make them look bad, but if the uniforms of the losing team next spring happen to be silver and black, I think he might take an extra amount of pleasure in that.
The media has already determined that if Nash can't win it all this year, he might not ever get the chance again. Nash will be 34 years old by the time the playoffs roll around, Marion's still doing the Jan Brady and Amare's knee could give out again. But the reality is that Marion's been saying the same shit for two seasons now, with little effect on his play on the court, and Amare is a superhuman who cannot be judged by the standards we use for mere mortals. He made first team all-NBA while still testing his knee out and, if recent reports are accurate, is poised to completely blow minds in 2007-08.
As for our hero Nash, he simply does not follow the typical trajectory of an NBA player (peak at 28, rapid decline after age 33 or so) because he is not a typical NBA player. He doesn't rely on run-and-jump athleticism or quickness, but rather unmatched skill and conditioning. Despite a wonky back, Nash is in possibly the best shape of his life right now, and it's unlikely that his court vision or jumper is going to be leaving him any time soon.
In the end, the main reason that Nash's championship window is not in danger of closing is that he doesn't even think in those terms. In that regard, he is completely dissimilar from his good pal Dirk, who looked painfully aware of exactly of what was happening to him, but was powerless to stop it.

*Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are unable to process sales at the current time. Once our offices reopen, we will ship all orders that have come in. Thank you for your support. Stay healthy!
Isle Royale & Keweenaw Parks Association works with two of this country's most unique national parks.
For more than 75 years, people from around the U.S. and beyond have traveled to Isle Royale National Park to fish the cold waters of Lake Superior, backpack the wilderness trails, kayak or canoe the rocky shoreline or inland lakes, study the park's wolves and moose, watch the northern lights, and soak in the quiet and solitude of the island. The park celebrated its 75th anniversary on April 3, 2015!
Isle Royale's neighbor park, Keweenaw National Historical Park, joined the National Park System in October 1992. It celebrates the endeavors of immigrants from nations across Europe who came to the rugged Keweenaw peninsula to mine its rich copper veins, log its majestic white pines, and eke out a living from its rocky soil.
Members of the Isle Royale & Keweenaw Parks Association provide needed financial support of our efforts to share the stories of these two very special parks with park visitors, schoolchildren, and people around the world.

Are You Going to be a Mom Soon? Protect Your Baby's Health by Making Changes Now.
Are You Going to be a Mom Soon? Protect Your Baby's Health by Making Changes Now.It used to be a usual thing that soon-to-be moms would quit drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. A wise choice. But these days we have much more to worry about in terms of toxins. In fact, study after study has shown traces of toxic chemicals in breast milk and the blood and urine of pregnant moms. And we now know that these chemicals transfer to the baby. What can you do to protect your child from the chemical onslaught?
In addition to getting your baby a crib, crib mattress, changing pad, clothing, linens and food that is free of toxic chemicals, it's time to change other things in your household to help you stop accumulating toxins in your own body. Here's a list of simple things you can do to remove general toxins from your environment.
- Get rid of your PVC vinyl shower curtain. These shower curtains off-gas toxic chemicals. Instead, switch to cotton or hemp. They work just as well, although you do have to make sure the ventilation is good and they are washed frequently. You could also consider a glass shower door. They're relatively easy to install and cost less than $100.
- Start eating organic fruits and vegetables and meat from animals fed the way they used to be before commercial feeds became popular. For beef and lamb, for example, that was grass. Also, make sure they haven't been fed antibiotics or hormones. Those substances go straight into your body, and into your baby's.
- Change your cleaning products to something non-toxic or, better still, use old-fashioned remedies like baking soda and vinegar. In fact, you could pretty much clean your whole house with just these two products. Whatever products you choose, make sure they do not contain fragrance. Synthetic fragrances are high on the list of toxic chemicals.
- Do the same with your personal care products and cosmetics. A lot of chemicals are absorbed through the skin.
- If you're not yet pregnant, but there's a chance you might become pregnant, all the same things apply for your husband. His body influences the baby's, too.
- Make sure your indoor air is clean by removing toxic chemicals from the household and using an air purifier. Did you know that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor? You can change that.
Remember, whatever's in your body might pass through to the baby. If you would like more information on that, watch 10 Americans, a very interesting video about a study conducted by the Environmental Working Group.
These few changes will help protect your baby, and you. It can take a while to get toxins out of your body so whether you're planning on motherhood in the near future or far, now is a good time to start.

How This Workout Works
What makes this shaping session the best 30 minutes your body can spend? "It counters the effects of gravity, which is constantly pulling us down and forward," says trainer Adam Friedman, a Gold's Gym Fitness Institute expert who created the "Lose 10 Pounds Fast" workouts exclusively for FITNESS. "Each exercise engages the whole body to burn more calories, plus targets your core to cinch your waist and straighten your posture." Do these moves in pairs, or supersets, alternating until you've done three sets each. Aim for two to three "Tone Up" workouts a week on nonconsecutive days, along with your fave cardio to shed a size or two.
What you'll need: a resistance band or a resistance tube with handles, a yoga mat.
Around the World
Targets: Upper back and shoulders
— Stand with feet shoulder-width apart on center of tube, holding a handle in each hand, arms by sides.
— Raise extended arms in front of you, palms facing each other, then bring them directly overhead.
Plank with a Twist
Targets: Abs and obliques
— Begin on ground in plank position, balancing on forearms and toes, body forming a straight line from head to heels.
— MAKE IT EASIER: Rest forearms on a bench or chair seat.
Cross Shoulder Press
Targets: Shoulders, abs, obliques, butt, and quads
— Stand on center of tube with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a handle in each hand, elbows bent by sides with hands by shoulders, palms facing each other.
— Squat, bending knees 90 degrees.
Washboard Circle
Targets: Biceps and abs
— Anchor one end of tube at chest level in jamb of a closed door or another secure place; stand with right side facing door.
— Hold handle in left hand at waist level in front of you, elbow bent 90 degrees, then place right hand over top of left hand; step to left to feel tension in band.
Punch and Row
Targets: Upper back, abs, butt, and legs
— Anchor one end of tube at shoulder level in jamb of closed door. Facing door, hold other end of band in right hand, arm extended with palm down; step back until you feel tension in band.
— Step right leg back so feet are 3 feet apart and bend left elbow to bring fist in front of chest.
— Lower into a split squat, both knees bent 90 degrees.
Quadruped Plus
Targets: Shoulders, abs, and butt
— Start on ground on all fours, pressing center of band down on ground with left palm and holding one handle of tube in right hand.
— MAKE IT HARDER: Start on all fours on a bench.
Side Lunge and Reach
Targets: Shoulders, butt, quads, and hamstrings
— Stand with feet about 3 feet apart, holding center of tube in right hand and both handles in left hand (tube is folded in half).
Dip and Hip Raise
Targets: Triceps and butt
— Sit on ground with knees bent 90 degrees, feet flexed so heels are on ground, and place palms flat on either side of hips, fingers forward.
— MAKE IT HARDER: Squeeze a rolled-up towel between knees.
— Lift hips about 4 inches, then bend elbows behind you and lower hips toward ground.
Trim Down: Cardio Sessions
The quickest way to shed flab is to turn up your calorie burn. Your mission is to break a sweat for 30 to 45 minutes three days a week — walk, run, hit the elliptical trainer or the dance floor. There's just one catch: Designate one session your hard day, one your moderate day, and the third your easy day. "Take a day off after your hard day so you're ready to give it your all next session," says Friedman, who designed the interval workouts below to give you ideas for hitting each intensity's sweet spot.
Session 1: Go Hard
Warm Up: Warm up for 10 minutes at an easy pace.
Intervals: Sprint for 30 seconds; recover at an easy pace for 1 minute. Repeat 10 times for 15 minutes.
Cool Down: Cool down for 5 minutes at an easy pace.
Calories burned: 114 (walking) to 275 (running)*
Session 2: Go Moderate
Warm up: Warm up for 10 minutes at an easy pace.
Intervals: Sprint for 30 seconds, then recover at an easy pace for 2 minutes. Repeat 6 times for 15 minutes.
Cool down: Cool down for 5 minutes at an easy pace.
Calories burned: 107 (walking) to 267 (running)*
Session 3: Go Easy
Warm Up: Warm up for 10 minutes at an easy pace.
Interval: Maintain a moderate pace for 30 minutes.
Cool Down: Cool down for 5 minutes at an easy pace.
Calories burned: 154 (walking) to 448 (running)*
*Calories based on a 140-pound woman

Letitia James, who succeeds James Davis on the City Council representing district 35, which covers Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights, and Fort Greene, has a long history of supporting community development. Even before she officially took office, she was able to score two victories for affordable housing, including a promise by Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Jerilyn Perine to support the transformation of "The Brig," a former prison on Flushing Avenue, into an apartment building.
But James also faces a significant challenge: how do deal with " development, development, development," as Jennifer Gerend, executive director of the Myrtle Avenue Revitalization Project, puts it. A series of major developments are taking place throughout the district. "Tish's challenge will be to balance development interests and the many differing community viewpoints on proposed development, rezoning, and preservation," says Gerend. "Many residents are excited about some amenities to be added from the major developments, but still want to preserve the local, neighborhood feel of the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill community. We basically want to have it all."
James says that she is not against development, but that it must meet the needs of her constituents. Any major housing development, she says, must provide "a fair share of housing for people at the community median income, or at least the [New York] City median," rather than the median for the metropolitan area (including Nassau & Westchester Counties), which is far higher. In addition, "we've got double-digit unemployment" in the public housing developments in the district, so developers must provide skills-training as well as jobs.
To achieve these goals, James hopes to use "project labor agreements," like one that she helped to negotiate for the Tappan Zee Bridge, that require unionized construction with apprenticeship programs for local residents. Another idea that James discussed during the campaign is negotiating with developers to sign "community benefits agreements," legal documents that stipulate how the development will benefit the community, in areas including jobs, community services, environmental improvement, and affordable housing Community benefits agreements have been used increasingly by community organizations and unions, especially in California.
But Steve Aronson of the Pratt Area Community Council wonders whether, even with these types of agreements, there really is "room for everyone." Will developers - especially Brooklyn mega-developer Bruce Ratner, who is involved in most of the major development projects - really be forced to make significant concessions, or will they basically get what they want, in exchange for a few goodies they would have provided anyway? And how will these agreements, which are notoriously hard to monitor, be maintained and enforced.
These questions will be answered in a multitude of development projects moving forward in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill:
Downtown Brooklyn Rezoning: Within the next few weeks, the Department of City Planning will certify its proposal to rezone downtown Brooklyn, in order to encourage the development of additional high-rise office, residential, and educational towers. Deputy Mayor Daniel Doctoroff argues that New York City needs space for many more office jobs to remain competitive in the decades to come. While many community members would welcome more jobs and housing in downtown Brooklyn, some fear the additional traffic. Others wonder what steps will be taken to ensure that good jobs are truly accessible to local residents, that the housing is affordable to local families, and that new schools are created that will not only meet the needs of the new families but provide better options for local kids.
BAM Cultural District: As reported in this column in April, negotiations are underway between the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) Local Development Corporation and the Coalition of Concerned Citizens, over the corporation's $700 million plan to create a cultural district, several pieces of which are already underway James hopes that the negotiations will lead to an agreement, so that the cultural district can move forward in a way that is satisfactory to the Coalition of Concerned Citizens, which fears that new housing, commercial, and cultural development will price out local residents and change the character of the community.
High-rise infill development: The Fort Greene Association and the Clinton Hill Society and others are gearing up to push for expansions of the existing historic districts, and perhaps also for "contextual zoning" that would provide height limits, in order to block high-rise infill development projects taking place "as of right." Residents recently lost a battle to prevent the development of a 15-story residential building, adjacent to four-story brownstones, on Greene Avenue and Carlton Place.
Atlantic Center: Construction is nearly complete on the last major commercial component of the Atlantic Center Mall - which developers, residents, and the city have been fighting over for more than 50 years. Over the next year, on the site where several generations of Brooklynites once hoped the new Dodger Stadium would rise, there will be several new tenants - Target, Bank of New York and Red Lobster. For this development, developer Ratner received $114 million in "Liberty Bonds" provided by the federal government to New York City - the first project (inside or outside of Manhattan) to use these tax-exempt bonds.
Ratner's Arena: The biggest fight about development is the arena proposed by Bruce Ratner for the New Jersey Nets and the New Jersey Devils, which would be built over the Long Island Rail Road yards across from the Atlantic Center mall. Ratner's $500 million proposal, which would be designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, also includes commercial stores and 5,500 units of housing. The development has the support of Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, who has long been angling for a professional basketball team in Brooklyn.
But James, along with Assemblyman Roger Green and State Senator Velmanette Montgomery, opposes the project, on the grounds that it would create too much traffic and congestion. Opponents also include the Prospect Heights Action Coalition, which was created last year when residents came together in an attempt to block the siting of a homeless shelter in their community. James says that any stadium in Brooklyn should be built in the Navy Yard, perhaps as part of the city's plans for the Olympics.
Other community development advocates believe that the proposed site - at the crossroads of almost every subway train (the third-busiest hub in the city) and the Long Island Rail Road - could be a good location for the arena, but only if a "community benefits agreement" provided for good, unionized jobs for Brooklyn residents, and for more than 1,000 units of affordable housing.
Ratner recently submitted the highest bid to purchase the Nets, $275 million, $25 million more than the bid that included U.S. Senator Jon Corzine. But the bidding for the team - like the bidding for the future of the neighborhood - has only just begun.
Brad Lander is the director of the Pratt Institute Center for Community and Environmental Development .

I need a function which appends either lists and atoms into one list.
I've tried many variations on something like this:
Code: Select all
(defun app-sym ( &rest lst)
(if (null lst) nil
((atom (car lst)) (append (list (car lst)) (app-sym (cdr lst))))
((listp (car lst)) (append (car lst) (app-sym (cdr lst)))))))
Can anybody explain to me what are the limits of using &rest within body of function?
i found no answer in "Common Lisp HyperSpec".
I am using LispWorks.
Should I write a macro ??? Brrr.. it is still to difficult for me

Maven Bentley came out and said that in CZW, they try to give the best of every style but there are several men here who are truly the best at what they do. He introduced a group of Marines who were in the house to collect donations for Toys for Tots.
CZW Wired champion Jake Crist vs. Dave Crist.
They started out hot with a lot of fast action. Jake hit a crazy tope through the ropes. Dave came back with a big twisting dive over the top to the floor. Jake tried to leap off the ropes but was kneed in the air. Dave charged him but Jake moved. Dave went for a monkey flip but Jake turned it around and landed on his feet. Dave nailed him with an elbow. Jake drilled him with several superkicks and a back suplex for a two count. He grabbed an armbar submission but Dave fought it off. Dave landed a cutter but was too tired to follow up. He finally covered Jake, but only scored a two count.
Dave went to the top rope but was cut off. Jake nailed a superplex, then pulled him back up for another suplex. Jake followed up with a shining wizard for a two count. Dave came back with a springboard into an awesome looking DDT for a two count. He followed up with a bulldog like move, flying through the ropes and clotheslining his brother on the ropes throat-first.
They battled on the top rope until Jake Crist drilled his brother with a Canadian flip piledriver off the top for the pin. THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY SICK!
Your winner and still champion, Jake Crist!
Jake offered his brother his hand, but was slapped instead. Crist chased Dave back to the locker room.
Awesome, balls to the wall sick action with a ton of high spots and stiff action.
Best of Three Tables: BLK-OUT (Ruckus & Alex Colon & Chrissy Rivera with Robbie Mireno) vs. The Runaways (Joe Gacy & Ryan Slater & Kimber Lee)
The girls started catfighting immediately but were broken up by the teams, who then started brawling. Colon and Slater went back and forth in the ring with hiptosses and armdrags as Slater and Ruckus brawled on the floor. Colon dove out on Gacy while Slater his a dive on Ruckus. The girls started slugging it out and went back and forth until Rivera speared Lee. Ruckus nailed the Razzle Dazzle on her followed by Colon kicking her. Rivera nailed a Facewash on Lee.
Lee cut her off with a shot and went to the top. Rivera joined her battling as the teams brawled on the floor. Rivera superplexed Lee off the top onto everyone and the building went nuts. As everyone recovered, Ruckus set up a table in the corner but was attacked by Gacy. Ruckus went for a handspring elbow off the ropes but was caught and nailed.
Gacy grabbed Rivera by the hair and tried to throw her into the table. She ran up the table, slid down and low blowed him. She then hit a tornado DDT off the table. Lee attacked her and started choking her. The Runaways started triple teamed her and powerbombed Rivera through a table.
It's 1-0 in Falls for the Runaways.
River was carried out.
The Runaways tried to triple team Colon but he was able to maneuver Lee and Gacy into the corner and wiped them out. He drilled Lee with a running foot. Colon was grabbed and suplexed off the corner by Slater, who was now hanging off the ropes. Ruckus hit a Van Terminator on Slater while he was hanging. Gacy attacked Ruckus and they battled on the top rope. Ruckus tried to superplex him out of the ring onto a table on the floor but was unable to do so. Colon came out of anywhere with a flying leg lariat and wiped out Gacy, sending him to the floor through a different table.
It's now tied.
Gacy was out on the floor.
Lee nailed a top rope rana on Colon. Lee and Slater laid him out with flying moves. They set up a table on the floor. Lee and Slater tried to double suplex Ruckus out of the ring but Colon attacked Slater and they battled back and forth. Left alone, Lee was no match for Ruckus and was hit with a suplex into an inverted sit-down bomb through a table on the floor.
Your winners, BLK OUT!
This was absolutely mind blowing, just in terms of the crazy male vs. female violence and some really creative spots and brutal looking table spots. This needed to be a war because of the feud and it was. Great stuff.

When Cyprus approached the International Monetary Fund last summer to say that it might need a bailout, it had no idea what lay in store.
Already in trouble from its heavy purchases of Greek bonds, only a few years ago Cyprus had had a humming economy, fed in large part by a financial sector that thrived on substantial deposits from, among others, Russians who had made their money after the breakup of the Soviet Union and who parked billions in accounts and shell companies housed by Cyprus's relaxed atmosphere.
However, the Greek crisis hit Cyprus hard. Its financial sector held assets eight times the size of its economy, and after the "haircut" imposed on those holding Greek bonds, the situation worsened as some of those large depositors began to move their money out of the country's banks. Cyprus drew on Emergency Liquidity Assistance from its central bank to the tune of 9 billion euros, but after the country's February elections the European Central Bank informed the new government that it would cut off additional ELA unless Cyprus worked out a bailout deal.
The deal finally offered in March shocked not just Cypriots, but people throughout the Eurozone and beyond. The troika—the European Union, the IMF, and the ECB—determined that for Cyprus to receive a 10-billion-euro bailout, it must contribute 5.8 billion euros to its own rescue. Since Cyprus, unlike Greece in earlier days, did not have many bondholders from which to get funds, the remaining option was to take the money from the bank's depositors—something that had never been done.
Cyprus was the fifth nation to receive a bailout, but no other nation got hit with the terms that Cyprus did: originally all depositors were expected to help pay for the rescue, with small depositors paying a 6.75% levy and large depositors, with accounts over 100,000 euros, paying even more. That was so distasteful Cyprus tried, but failed, to get a helping hand from Russia, the source of so much of its money. Cyprus's parliament voted down the deal, which then was revised so that only depositors with accounts over 100,000 euros were to be hit.
Still, the notion that small depositors with guaranteed savings could be expected to pay for a bailout at all raised fury in Cyprus. Large depositors, of course, weren't happy either, especially since they could no longer move funds out of the country under the newly imposed capital controls designed to prevent runs on the banks.
Cyprus was a tax haven, and perhaps it was inevitable that there would be trouble once regulators began to pursue tax evaders and the institutions that supported them. After all, the U.S. brought down Switzerland's oldest bank, Wegelin, that had been doing business based on privacy for 272 years. It also brought Switzerland to the negotiating table in an attempt to come to terms for the rest of its banks.
However, the trouble came, not from the U.S., but from Germany, which insisted that depositors had to pay for the bailout. Why? In part because Cyprus has a reputation for lax financial rules, despite the fact that it has in place all the regulations that were required for its entry into the Eurozone. It is one thing to have regulations, and entirely another to enforce them.
The facts that depositors with supposedly insured accounts were targeted, however briefly, and that large depositors are now on the hook for as much as 60% of their funds, have led to concerns elsewhere in the world, not just the Eurozone, that it could happen again—and to them. In fact, the U.K. has already moved to reassure its depositors that their money is safe.
But fear that this will be the way of future rescues can be credited at least partly to Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who took over in January as head of the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers. Dijsselbloem said that, "if necessary," depositors should be among those who should be asked to recapitalize banks. He backtracked later on, saying that Cyprus was a unique case and that each solution was tailored to the circumstances of its crisis, but the Rubicon had already been crossed. That was made clear when Jyrki Katainen, prime minister of Finland, later spoke out in favor of owners and investors (depositors) taking losses if a bank failed.
While the press has been full of speculation from various experts about another such "unique" case and where it might occur—everywhere from Greece to Italy to Spain to Slovenia has been mentioned, with equally dire warnings about the U.S., U.K., and New Zealand—others are more sanguine. John Blank, chief equity strategist for Zacks, who earlier in his career worked for the chief economist of the IMF, said that other countries have different issues, which would make it unlikely that such a situation would spread.
Pointing out that other tax haven countries would benefit from Cyprus's downfall—indeed, Malta and the Cayman Islands are reportedly among those already approaching the wealthy in Cyprus to offer their services—Blank said that a more likely avenue for the spread of trouble would be any social unrest occurring in Cyprus as a result of the bailout terms. He sees high unemployment and the apparent lack of sympathy on the part of bailout institutions as more of a threat.
"It's the misery of these countries," Blank said, as well as the need for stimulus packages large enough to work. "That to me is the real problem. Cyprus is showing us that Europe does not have a growth strategy; it has a debt reduction strategy, but not a growth strategy. It has to get a whole lot worse before it gets better. The bureaucrats just don't get it yet," he said.
That said, Blank said that both Spanish and Italian yields were higher in the wake of the Cyprus crisis. Italy, with its current government instability, is the more likely target for any possible contagion. "If Italian election uncertainty drags on and people start to worry, that's how it could happen," he said. If Italian depositors are spooked enough by what happened to Cypriot depositors, further destabilization could nudge them into a run on Italian banks, which could spur another crisis.
One aspect of the Cyprus crisis that has perhaps come as something of a surprise is the rise of the virtual currency Bitcoin, which added 360% over the past month in the face of the Cyprus crisis, currency worries, and conversations on social media. A virtual currency could offer an escape route past capital controls, and interest in the concept has risen substantially across the eurozone with the escalation of the Cyprus situation. Spain in particular was noticed to experience a spike, albeit a small one, in downloads of Bitcoin mobile apps as the Cyprus situation worsened. Perhaps more telling is the fact that on March 16, Bitcoin Google searches soared in Spain.
However, as if to prove that nothing is failsafe, Bitcoin was hacked the first week of April and its price lost 20% overnight, proving that not just the virtual currency itself but its reputation is both still somewhat risky. In addition, analysts have been warning that Bitcoin's heady rise could be a bubble—and we all know what eventually happens to bubbles…
Still, the first ATM for Bitcoin is planned for Cyprus, with others apparently destined for Spain, Greece, and Italy. And for those interested in such things, there is even a Bitcoin hedge fund—but it's in Malta.

While lethal anti-press violence has slowed considerably in recent years, the press freedom landscape remains troubled. Journalists continue to be attacked and threatened with such frequency that some are compelled to flee to safer locations within Colombia or into exile. A journalist in Arboletes was murdered in June, although the motive was unclear. In this violent context, press groups feared the potential consequences of statements made by former President Álvaro Uribe, who described veteran reporters Juan Forero and Claudia Julieta Duque as "terrorist sympathizers" after they wrote critical stories about the Uribe administration in The Washington Post. The national intelligence agency's illegal espionage against journalists and other critics, a legacy of the Uribe administration, continued to be the subject of investigation. But progress was slow, with cases pending against more than 20 defendants in late year. In a blow to press freedom, the Supreme Court in May upheld defamation provisions in the penal code.
CPJ's Impunity Index found that Colombia is the world's fifth worst nation in combating deadly anti-press violence, with 11 unsolved murders over the past decade.
1. Iraq
2. Somalia
3. Philippines
4. Sri Lanka
5. Colombia
6. Afghanistan
7. Nepal
8. Mexico
9. Russia
10. Pakistan
11. Bangladesh
12. Brazil
13. India
The regional press group Foundation for Freedom of the Press (FLIP) found that the number of threats against journalists rose in 2011 after a decline the previous year. FLIP defines threats as direct intimidation of a journalist or the individual's family.
Threats in Colombia over time as documented by FLIP:
2007: 85
2008: 71
2009: 74
2010: 49
2011: 94
Mary Luz Avendaño fled Colombia in 2011 after receiving threats related to reporting she did on drug trafficking.
CPJ's annual survey of exiled journalists found that 20 Colombian editors and reporters were forced to leave the country in the past decade.
Freelance journalist Luis Eduardo Gómez was murdered June 30 in Arboletes. CPJ is investigating to determine whether the motive was work-related. At least 43 journalists have been killed in Colombia in direct relation to their work since 1992; another 32 have been killed in unclear circumstances. Despite recent improvements, Colombia remains one of the world's most dangerous places for the press.
1: Iraq
2: Philippines
3: Algeria
4: Russia
5: Colombia
6: Pakistan
7: Somalia
8: India
9: Mexico
10: Afghanistan
Five former officials of the national intelligence agency DAS were convicted in connection with an illegal espionage program that targeted critical journalists, opposition politicians, and others from 2003 to 2009.
An ongoing inquiry:
22: DAS officials awaiting trial or being investigated, including former deputy director José Miguel Narváez, who is also accused of masterminding the 1999 murder of journalist Jaime Garzón.
5: Prominent journalists whose emails and phone calls the authorities have acknowledged were intercepted.

I did what other reviewers suggested, using shredded zucchini and topping the pie with mashed potatoes instead of a pie crust. It was a delicious, healthy meal!
Jun 23, 2013
This pie had a wonderful flavor. I grated the zucchini as well and mixed everything together before putting into crust. I also added 1/2 cup diced onion to beef along with pepper and omitted dried onion.
I like the idea of topping with mashed potatoes and cheese and omitting crust altogether. It would make a great shepherd's pie. Thanks for all the pointers.
Sep 11, 2012
Great flavor in this pie. I used garlic powder for my sodium restricted family and it was fine. Too lazy to layer, I mixed everything together and it came out great. Thanks for sharing this gem.
Apr 30, 2009
This is a very good. My family love this. I froze it and took it on the houseboat..my boys loved it. I just graded the zucchini and mixed it in. In one I added hot chili peppers for my son who likes it hot. This is a Keeper!
Dec 31, 1969
You could try just one crust only on top if it's calories your trying to save. Or try using a biscuit like topping. Or even just topping with cheese only without any crust/topping
Dec 31, 1969
Hi..I hope i;m not barging in to something. I'm new to the computer.I saw your comment and thought you could use mashed potatoes to top the hamburger and zucchini mixture and then sprinkle with a little cheese...Shepards Pie.

Whould I be able to use this recipe without the pie crust? What would I have to modify?

No place in your garage to store your full steel doors? Then you need a set of wall mounted door hangers to keep your doors up off the floor and safe from damage. The wall mounted door hangers mount to any wall with studs. Hang doors so inside panel faces each other and roll down the windows. Mirrors can be left fully open or bent into their retracted position.
The picture is misleading because it "appears" that these two brackets are connected together, but they are not. You can place them as close/far apart as you need to. 16" stud centers will make it difficult to fit your back doors on. You can mount a couple of 2"x4"s to your studs then mount these closer together. I thought $50+ was a lot to pay on two metal brackets with some phone padding, but I was unable to find some as long at a home improvement store
I like the door hangers but when you mount them to the center of studs spaced at 16", the back door doesn't fit. You have to tilt the door to get it over the pads.
Do these hangers fold up when not in use or always stick out?
Asked by themillers4213 from on
Hey TheMillers4213, the Lange Originals Wall Mounted Door Hanger would always stick out. Thanks for your question.
Answered by Devin B. ext 4835 from on
I have a 2015 JK Oscar Mike edition Jeep Wrangler..will these hangers work?
Asked by Jack from on
Hi Jack The Wall Mounted Door Hanger will work fine or your doors. Thanks

CCTV Information introduced by Robyn Sones
The CCTV Advisory Service is an Independent Consultancy and Web based information company dedicated to disseminating general information concerning Closed-circuit television (CCTV) and linking customers to quality organisations who can meet their specific requirements.
Realising that the average person, when they begin to look into CCTV, has little way of knowing where to find expert advice at a reasonable cost, we have created this web site to bring together some of the leading organisations working in this field.
The companies and individuals found on this web site are those who do not just talk about excellence. They believe in it, and ensure that it runs through every fibre of their organisations and the way they deal with customers. Companies appearing on our pages do not pay for space but appear by invitation only. They are companies we have chosen for the quality of their products, level of customer service and because they offer value for money.
Why We Do What We Do
Have you ever designed a world?
I have. In my mind I have a picture of the world as I would like it to be. A world where police are redundant, armies not needed and those in Government have as their only goal the care of those for whom they are responsible.
Core to that vision is the way people treat each other; that we look out not just for our own interests, but also for the interests of others. That a person's value is not measured by how much they earn, but by how much they give. It may be helping to provide drinking water to a village on the other side of the world, or simply providing a cup of coffee for a colleague who is too busy, or stressed, to make it for themselves.
You may think me a fool or a dreamer but I have learnt that I can change this world into my world one person at a time, and this philosophy is at the heart of what we do at The CCTV Advisory Service. Our business gives us the opportunity to enable most organisations achieve better security solutions than would be possible without our help. To treat customers, suppliers and colleagues as we would like them to treat us. It gives us the opportunity to excel at what we do, and when we talk about excellence and quality it's not 'marketing speak' but the natural outworking of what we believe. Even better… most of our clients receive this service at no cost.
You have to create and innovate to change the status quo and we are doing this within our industry.
The dream of a different type of security organisation was born out of my early years in CCTV. I thought that I was joining an industry that was there to help people, a view reinforced by the first company I worked with. But, while there were, and are, some very good CCTV companies, I quickly discovered that the majority fell far short. Primarily they were sales companies that just happened to sell boxes labelled CCTV, and as companies competed for business, quality became a race to the bottom. Unsuspecting organisations were spending thousands of pounds on systems where people could not be recognised and the images would be of little use in a court of law. The Association of Chief police officers stated that four out of every five cameras installed were not fit for purpose. Generally, organisations that purchased 'fit for purpose' CCTV were those who could afford an independent consultant to guide them through the minefield.
My dream was that one day, from the small corner shop to the large multinational, everyone would have access to the expertise they need to ensure that the CCTV they purchase is fit for purpose and value for money.
Today that dream is a reality as we supply free CCTV Consultation to organisations from small retailers to some of the best-known companies in the country.
Our continuing mission is to ensure that our organisation is the one we would want to deal with if we were seeking informed and honest advice on obtaining a CCTV system which is both fit for purpose and cost-effective.
Free Advice and Design
We are able to offer free services including site surveys, drawing up plans, budget costings and system design to many companies who are considering having a CCTV system installed by a professional installation company. These services are offered in conjunction with a small group of carefully selected CCTV Installation Companies.
Although, as a consultancy we have a standard fee per hour for the work we undertake, this fee will be waived, or reduced, should you place your order with one of the three companies that we recommend for tender. For most clients this results in no charge for our services but where the system installed is of a small size we may not be able to claim our full fees from the installer. As many of the installers we use pay us out of their sales budget this method should not increase the installation charge to our clients.
Why Is a CCTV Web Site Necessary?
The importance of having a professionally designed specification can be seen from the fact that when the police seek to use CCTV evidence in court it is found to be inadmissible in most cases. While it is true that almost anyone can look at a location and suggest a number of Cameras, only those who have experience in this field, through an understanding of the principles of optical science, will generally be able to recommend a Camera that will give the customer a picture with the best definition or coverage. Often it is also possible to give clients "added value" by locating Cameras, and utilising lenses which are able, not only to view the area of concern, but also give peripheral vision of other points of interest.
During a visit to a school there was a camera at each end of the 30m corridors. These cameras had standard lenses and were providing facial recognition for the 3.5m of corridor nearest the cameras. This is the case in 95% of the systems we audit. If a pupil came out of classroom, committed a misdemeanour and then returned to the classroom there was no possibility of knowing who they were. By setting the cameras to view the opposite end of the corridor and the careful choice of lenses the cameras would have been able to provide facial recognition for half of the corridor, enabling the whole corridor to be viewed with pupils being recognised. Instead of having recognition for 7m all 30m could have been properly viewed providing a 428% increase in effectiveness. This is just one of many differences when a system is designed correctly. Our experience as CCTV Consultants is that in the vast majority of cases companies are simply sticking cameras on walls and pointing them in the general direction with little or no understanding the optical science necessary to correctly design a CCTV system.

How effective is CCTV in capturing criminals?
Following the 2011 London riots Operation Withern was set up in London and led by Detective Chief Superintendent Greany. By February 2012 this had led to 3,000 people being successfully prosecuted and DCS Greany has stated that 2,200 of those prosecutions would not have been possible without video evidence.
Some may say that this just one high profile example but what about the day in – day out experience of CCTV around the country. The following quotation shows what has been happening in just one area of the UK.
"Hambleton District Council, which along with Ryedale, Leeds, Kirklees and Hull, claims CCTV has played a part in more than 15,000 arrests over the past three years, has agreed the £99,000 funding to upgrade the control room equipment used by the security cameras which monitor the market towns of Northallerton, Thirsk, Bedale and Stokesley." From The Yorkshire Post
Cameras Work
Despite the above arrests and prosecutions, other statistics point to major reductions in the amount of crime being committed where there are cameras installed. This is why CCTV is seen by many as the best system for the deterrent and detection of Crime. We are sure that you would wish to avoid having to catch those who are perpetrating crime against your organisation. Generally, once a Camera system is installed, it will only be fools who attempt to perpetrate offences within its field of view. These are often caught but for the majority it will provide a very high level of deterrence.

ADS Tech Enhances Media-Link Digital Entertainment Receiver with Wireless G Card.
Compact Device Streams Digital Entertainment from PCs and the Internet to a TV or Stereo.
ADS Tech announced that Media-LinkΤ Digital Entertainment Receiver has been enhanced with a wireless G (802.11G) card. The new Media-Link can now be used with either a wired Ethernet network or the higher-speed 802.11G wireless network to deliver digital entertainment from a PC and the Internet to any TV or stereo in the home or office. Conveniently controlled by a single remote, the device is housed in a new sleek designer case that can be wall mounted.
ADS Techs Media-Link enables consumers and businesses to access PC-stored TV shows, movies and photos on any connected TV. Users can also enjoy listening to MP3 audio files and Internet radio on any connected stereo. All of these features are available without moving the PC or having to burn discs and carry them from room to room so they can be shared. With Media-Link, users can also view Web pages and Internet news on their TVs big screen from the comfort of their favorite living room chair.
The wireless G card enhancement enables the new version of Media-Link to deliver audio and video streams at up to 54 Mb/sec--nearly five times faster than the earlier version which supported the 802.11B (11 Mb/sec) wireless networking standard but did not include the wireless card. The higher throughput available with the 802.11G wireless standard also allows users to transport multiple audio and video streams; i.e., view a PC-stored slide show on a TV screen while streaming an MP3 file from the Internet for background music.
Based on a new study, market researcher In-Stat/MDR predicts that the number of wireless subscribers worldwide is projected to jump from 1.5 billion at the end of 2004 to more than 2.5 billion in 2009.
Offering easy, Universal Plug and Play installation, consumers and businesses can now enjoy these capabilities simply by connecting Media-Link to their wired Ethernet LAN or wireless network. Once connected, The Media-Link receiver identifies PCs on the network automatically and provides instant, remote control access to their stored entertainment files.
With MediaLink, the PC becomes the entertainment jukebox and server for the home or office entertainment system, serving different files to multiple rooms simultaneously, explained Mike McCoy, ADS Tech President. Its fast, easy to use and convenient. But the best thing about it is the enhanced user experience it provides. People will no longer be restricted to playing their digital multimedia files at their desk. They can view their videos and photos on the biggest screen they have in-house and can enjoy their music compilations or Internet radio on their best stereo.
Designed for flexibility, portability and scalability, Media-Link can be used to deliver digital media content from up to 14 PCs on a network. When more than one Media-Link is connected to a single PC, users can stream content to several rooms in their home or office simultaneously.
Video playback of the highest quality is assured with composite, S-Video, component (Progressive and Interlaced, DVI) video outputs. Audio is reproduced in the greatest fidelity with stereo (R+L), RCA and SPDIF digital audio (optical and coaxial) outputs.

One of our dear hens recently went broody. Beezus, a gold-laced cochin, starting sitting on eggs and did NOT want to leave the coop. I'd pick her up to gather eggs and place her outside the coop where she'd run around for a few minutes and maybe get a bite to eat before returning to her empty nest. Eggs or not – it didn't seem to matter to her. She just wanted to sit.
I mentioned her broodiness to my farmer friend Michelle who suggested I put her on some fertile eggs and hatch chicks. Living in the city, we aren't allowed to have roosters so we have no fertile eggs, but Michelle on the other hand does and was happy to trade me eight of our unfertilized eggs for eight of her possibly fertilized eggs.
I made Beezus a nice little nesting box in our shed to keep the other chickens and any other animals from bothering her and she went right to work sitting on "her" new eggs.
The incubation period for chickens is about 21 days.
Around day 7 we candled our eggs (held a bright light to them) to try to see if chicks were growing in them. My husband has some powerful flashlights and that made the viewing all the better. We only candled 4 or 5 of them, but we saw blood vessels and movement in three of them. It was pretty amazing! It was starting to look like we were really going to have babies!
After a few more weeks of waiting, on June 23, I noticed the eggs were pipping and we could hear the peeping of the chicks from inside the eggs. They were starting to hatch!
Instagram video of the eggs with little holes
The next morning, June 24, we had a few chicks! The rest hatched throughout the day. Out of eight eggs, we ended up with six chicks — three gold and three brown!
The kids welcomed them with love.
The chicks are now 17 days old and still extremely adorable. Mama Beezus has been doing a great job of teaching them the ways of the world. She taught them how to drink and eat, and she keeps them warm at night. She's a great mom.
Here are a few videos:
- Beezus scratching up some bugs and dirt for them
- She also showed her babies how to take dirt baths
If you have the opportunity to hatch chicks in this way with a broody hen, I highly recommend it. Mama hen takes care of just about everything. You get to just sit back, relax and enjoy the show. And what a cute show it is.

§ 411.175. What if a continuing disability review is begun before my ticket is in use?
(a) If we begin a continuing disability review before the date on which your ticket is in use, you may still assign the ticket and receive services from an EN or a State VR agency acting as an EN under the Ticket to Work program, or you may still receive services from a State VR agency that elects the VR cost reimbursement option. However, we will complete the continuing disability review. If in this review we determine that you are no longer disabled, in most cases you will no longer be eligible to receive benefit payments. However, if your ticket was in use before we determined that you are no longer disabled, in certain circumstances you may continue to receive benefit payments (see §§ 404.316(c), 404.337(c), 404.352(d), and 416.1338 of this chapter). If you appeal the decision that you are no longer disabled, you may also choose to have your benefits continued pending reconsideration and/or a hearing before an administrative law judge on the cessation determination (see §§ 404.1597a and 416.996 of this chapter).
(b) The date on which we begin the continuing disability review is the date on the notice we send you that tells you that we are beginning to review your disability case.

Facebook has facilitated billions of 'likes', but getting Wall Street to like the business of running the world's largest social network has been difficult.
The company's disastrous IPO sent investors fleeing and Facebook's stock is still well off its debut price.
But with a laser-like focus on monetization, Mark Zuckerberg and company gave Wall Street reason to rethink Facebook's prospects after delivering better-than-expected third quarter results yesterday.
In Q3, Facebook's monetization efforts produced $1.26bn in revenue, a 32% year-over-year increase. That handily beat analyst expectations of $1.23bn in sales. And the company delivered on the bottom line too, producing 12 cents per share in profit (before certain costs), compared to expectations of 11 cents per share.
The results sent FB shares soaring more than 10% in after-hours trading, providing some welcome relief to employees and remaining IPO investors who have seen the value of their shares battered.
So is Facebook's third quarter as solid as it appears, and is it a sign that the worst is over for the company as a publicly-traded business? Not quite.
Facebook can breathe a sigh of relief having beat analyst expectations, but it's worth keeping in mind that those expectations had largely been lowered in the wake of the company's performance last quarter. And beating those lowered expectations doesn't mean that Facebook has solved the fundamental challenges it faces:
- While advertisers are clearly continuing to invest in Facebook, much of the company's growth is coming from international markets where users are of arguably less value to brand advertisers. If Facebook is successful in attracting the next billion users, they will almost all have to come from emerging markets, something that could have an interesting and not-all-positive impact on the company's financial profile.
- On the mobile front, the company reported that 14% of ad revenue in the third quarter came from mobile. That's a start, but it's hardly convincing given that well over half of Facebook's monthly active users (MAUs) now come from mobile. All told, mobile MAUs rose 61% year-over-year in Q3 to 604m, but with less than a fifth of ad revenue coming from mobile, it is clear that Facebook still has a big mobile numbers problem.
- Outside of mobile, and advertising at large, revenue from payments and other fees rose a modest 13% year-over-year, and declined 9% quarter-over-quarter. While Facebook has launched new products, like Gifts, that could bolster this revenue, the company's financial results suggest that hopes around payments and commerce are still premature, especially in light of the ongoing carnage at one of Facebook's most important current sources of payments revenue, Zynga.
Facebook's future
If anything, Facebook's third quarter financial results confirm one thing: Facebook is a real business, and isn't facing an imminent decline any time soon. But they also confirm another thing: Facebook isn't the $100bn business some had thought it was just a number of months ago.
The big question now: can become a $100bn business? We likely won't know the answer to that for several years, but now that Facebook has regained its balance, it should be able to more easily focus on trying.

Cook: 4; couple of starts, but an unsatisfying series once more.
Strauss: 8; batting very good and captaincy reasonable, the frailty of the England middle order was hidden through his consistency.
Bopara: 2; found out a fair bit, needs to be hitting the ball through mid-on rather than square leg.
Bell: 5; two fifties in three tests, probably expectation met.
Pietersen: 5; an innings in which he could, or should, have set the tone for the series, and failed to. Injury then blighted the rest of his series.
Trott: 9; don't know what could asked more of him to be honest, only dismissed by a bowler once for 160 runs.
Collingwood: 5; one very important innings, but besides that he's disappointed.
Prior: 6; glovework reasonable, batting looked good throughout but in the end he didn't change a game with it.
Flintoff: 6; one innings with the ball when the game had already really been sorted, and a big run-out. His presence immeasurable tho, and fair to note that the only game Aus won was without Flintoff.
Broad: 7; bowling improved throughout the series, and his batting helped ensure that Australia rarely ran through the tail.
Swann: 5; never proved to be a weak link, but wasn't consistent enough.
Anderson: 5; one spell which was the catalyst for a test victory, but he was a bit of a passenger for the rest of it.
Onions: 5; consistent, never daunting but always probing.
Harmison: 3; typical Harmison.
Panesar: 2, didn't justify the faith put in him.
Strauss: 8- Did his job, scored a lot of runs.
Cook: 3- Didn't do his job, didn't score many runs.
Bopara: 1- Was ****e.
Bell: 4- Couple of awkward fifties, but not enough else.
KP: 4- Same as Bell.
Collingwood: 5- Scored arguably the most important knock of the series, but still hasn't got enough runs.
Trott: 9- Scored a century in his only game. Couldn't really ask for more.
Prior: 7- Struggled to kick on with his batting despite looking as good as anyone bar Strauss. But for me he has the all-rounders allowance despite England making him play as a front-line batsman, and he's been excellent behind the stumps.
Flintoff: 5- Hasn't really done much at all, bar one spell at Lord's and a decent slog at Edgbaston. Was living on reputation really.
Broad: 8- Plenty of crucial lower-order runs and the best spell of bowling of the series. Won England the Ashes.
Swann: 5- Underwhelming, but his lower-order runs were crucial for England.
Anderson: 5- Frustratingly back to an all-or-nothing bowler- a couple of excellent spells and poor the rest of the time.
Onions: 7- Bowled well, very impressed with him. Unlucky to be left out for donkeys at Cardiff and the Oval.
Harmison: 2- Crap bowler, bowled crap.
Panesar: 2- Crap bowler, bowled crap.

Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
Mitch - 3/10. Won one for Australia but lost 2.
Ponting 6/10 - Didnt come good when it mattered. And when he came good it was all but over.
Hussey 2/10 - Worst case. His 121 could actually be called a dead rubber century.
Watson - 5.5/10 - Bailed Aus out of the opening embarrassment.
hughes - 2/10 - Failed when it mattered no matter how prolific he was in the domestic games. Still reckon he should have got another chance.
Clarke - 8/10 - Lionheart.Can't believe am typing those words.
Clark - 7/10 - Efforted to his best. Should have come before.
Hauritz - 6/10 - As above, pissed he didnt get a game at Oval.
Siddle - 5/10 - All for effort, but results will start showing up. Investment for the future.
Haddin - 4/10 - lukewarm series.
North - 5/10 - Very good innings but all rest were more or less crap. Didnt help that he was seen off "rauf"ly.
Manou - 6/10 - Excelllent behind the stumps, but nowhere near Haddin with the bat.

Katich 7/10: Started with a bang in the first test with a hundred and went back to being solid without being spectacular for the remainder of the series. Remarkable how many scores he got between 40 and 50.
Watson 6.5/10: Came in to replace Hughes and performed quite well. Weakness spotted pretty early by England though and he fell LBW 5 out of 6 innings. Also got out after getting a start in every innings.
Ponting 6/10: Couple of good innings with the bat and a decent performance as captain. Not spectacular overall by his standards though.
Hussey 4/10: Came good in the last innings of the series. A couple of scrappy innings when the series was up and running. Well below par overall though.
Clarke 8/10: Shone for us with the bat.
Haddin 5.5/10: Started well with the bat but not so well with the gloves. Possibly hampered a bit by broken finger.
North 7.5/10: Was either great with the bat or ordinary at times. Scored well in a couple of important innings and was unlucky in another.
Johnson 3/10: Probably the biggest disappointment of the series for mine along with Hughes. Never consistently stamped his mark on any of the games. Had one good innings at Headingly and one good hit out with the bat. The rest of the series was pretty much a write off.
Clark 6.5/10: Started with a bang when he finally got a run immediately putting Australia in a winning position at Headingly. Probably should have been in the team from the 2nd Test onwards and possibly should have missed out in the 5th where he was largely ineffective.
Siddle 6/10: Bowled well at times with pace and fire but was a little too inconsistent unfortunately. Expected a lot more from him after SA.
Hilfenhaus 8/10: The surprise packet of the series. Wasn't sure how he'd go when he was selected for the first test, but he was consistently the best performed bowler from either side in my opinion. Was surprised he didn't get more overs in the second innings of the last test. Hopefully he continues in the same vein in the future.
Hauritz 7/10: Bowled much better than I thought he would when he was initially picked. Up until he was left out of the team for the last two tests thought he was at least a match for Swann, if not having outperformed him slightly. Not a bad series for someone who is hopeless
Hughes 3/10 As I said earlier, along with Johnson probably the disappointment of this series. Got found out early against the short ball and that was it.

Landscaping Near Me Rochester Mn
Front Yard Landscaping Rochester Mn
The methods of landscaping steep slopes and hillsides must simply address creative ways to hold the property in place. And while designs may vary depending on location, materials, and other circumstances, the basics are pretty much the same for most. Some basic methods will hold or simply cover the soil and others will be more elaborate and dependent on other principles
For instance in Rochester Mn , if deep rooted ground cover plants are used without any retaining walls or support, the method of watering will need to be adjusted much different than that of flat or terraced ground. So the survival of ground cover plants and lawns on hills and steep grades will also require different considerations for proper watering.
Some good [supreme kwid=4 kw="patio landscaping ideas" url="https://qualityviews.us/landscape-design/" cpfl=false] for planting steep slopes as well as different methods and examples [supreme kwid=21 kw="landscape water features" url="https://qualityviews.us/landscape-design/" cpfl=false] for hillsides.
Choosing the Best Landscape compny Service ProviderLandscape design is also an important part of home décor or home improvement. One of the most important things to be taken into account during landscape design is to take into account what you already have. You cannot have a nice English garden, if your yard conditions are different and does not allow for this type of landscaping. You can incorporate xeriscaping and drought resistant elements in your landscape if you live in an arid climate. You must consider the following elements when it comes to selecting a landscape or garden style:The conditions that is available in your yard. Whether the place is shady or sunny mostly The kind of functions that would take place in your yardThose who will be suing the yard such as pets or childrenWhether you are in favor of a low-maintenance landscape or whether you can invest more time on your yardThe landscape style that would best suit your homeThe landscape style that would reflect your lifestyle the bestThere are several traditional styles in landscaping from which you can choose one to be incorporated in your home. You can also select a few from assorted styles and can be creative to create your design which is unique.1. In the English style garden landscape; there are many perennials and shrubs that are used in a style that complements the architecture of your home. You can also have other fantastic and ornate elements included such as bird bath or arbor.2. In the oriental Landscape style, a variety of plants, evergreens, water and rocks are used to create distinct look. In this style you can also incorporate the Japanese Zen garden of traditional style.3. The Woodland Landscape shows the natural style and has a more wild appearance than many of the other garden styles. If you cannot spend on maintenance, you can go in for this type of garden style. 4. The Formal Landscape follows straight lines, symmetrical patterns and precise geometric shapes with well maintained and pruned plants. The topiary design can be mostly found in these landscapes. This type of landscaping requires a lot of maintenance.5. Informal Landscape style makes use of plant beds with curved edges. You can find plants arranged in random patterns. If children may play in the area you can go in for this type of landscape style.You can choose from one of the aforesaid styles while going in for home improvement or landscaping in your home.
While the majority of elements discussed here focus on the erosion control and planting of hills and sharp grades, there are also other elements that may need consideration. In some instances, access may be necessary up and down the side of the lot and so of course there will be a need for stairs or steps. This directory has a lot of great ideas and pictures of stairs and steps that can be used in landscaping and garden.

Few people enjoy daylight-saving time and the exhaustion that follows, but night owls and people sleep-deprived tend to suffer a bit more, according to a MSNBC story.
According to the report, 70 to 80 percent of people aren't bothered by the time change and can adjust in one to two days. However, night owls and people sleep-deprived can yawn their way through the first week after the change.
And it can have significant impact on your work or safety, the story reports. Workplace injuries rise by 6 percent on the Monday after daylight-saving time switch.
"The data shows they are impaired from an attention and safety standpoint. People are not aware of their level of impairment," said Phyllis Zee, a professor at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., who is president of the Sleep Research Society
Check out the full story to read some tips to stay awake and adjust to the change.

Second Century Scholars Program to double need-based assistance to Native HawaiiansUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Associate VP for Student Affairs
HONOLULU - University of Hawai'i President David McClain announced today a $2.5 million Second Century Scholars Program aimed at doubling need-based financial aid to Native Hawaiians to $5 million annually by 2010.
"This initiative will help to insure that all Native Hawaiians with financial need will be able to attend UH, with an increased chance to successfully complete their studies," said McClain. "This is a step toward fulfilling the vision of our strategic plan; by 2010, many more Native Hawaiian children who aspire to be engineers or doctors or astronomers or marine biologists will know that they can pursue their dreams unfettered by financial restraints.
"This commitment acknowledges the fact that the remarkable scholarship for which our faculty are renowned occurs in this unique physical and geographic environment, on land first populated many centuries ago by the Native Hawaiians, and it acknowledges our role as stewards of these Hawaiian lands. It's most fitting that the first scholarship initiative of the university's second century be focused on the indigenous people of Hawai'i."
The scholarship is available to Native Hawaiian students with demonstrated financial need pursuing both graduate and undergraduate credit work in any field of study on all 10 campuses of the University of Hawai'i System. Details and application procedures will be announced later in the fall semester, with the first awards scheduled to be made next spring for use in the fall semester, 2008.
Last year, 3,014 Native Hawaiian students applied for financial aid, and nearly 80 percent received some form of federal, state, UH, or UH Foundation grant or scholarship. The total value of UH aid provided was almost $2.5 million, including tuition waivers valued at some $870,000.
