Okay. So it's 2015. "Back to the Future II" promised us flying cars, hoverboards and self-adjusting shoelaces. Actually, these technological miracles are all awfully close to reality. In 1989, Hollywood pegged these (and a few other) long term trends using current circumstances and a lot of imagination.
Imagination is an important part of seeing the future. But in the here and now, the best way for you to set realistic business goals and meet them is by collecting and analyzing as much data as possible from inside your organization and from the environment that it affects and that affects it. Basic BI.
Data collection has been a common business practice for at least 5,200 years when Sumerian traders started marking transactions in clay tablets. Archaeologist gain all sorts of insights about cultures through their historical business data. But what about your data? You shouldn't have to hire archaeologists to dig through your business intelligence to see the future of your enterprise.
That's what your BI analytics should be doing for you. It's one thing to get all the numbers and some colorful charts. These are helpful tools. But when you need to get a fast, accurate picture that suggests what's going on in your enterprise, whether it's sales figures, quality trends, manufacturing efficiency or whatever, the best tools are, well, pictures and suggestions. So, why not use a BI solution that gives you these advantages?
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, than an infographic is worth 1,000 pictures – more or less.
While charts present information, infographics give you the means to quickly interpret, at a glance, the information that is relevant to your decision making process. I mean, let's face it. Who has time to read lists and charts? Infographics can put your business intelligence into context so that you don't have to hunt down the information that you need right now. When an infographic is dynamically updated and provides clickable drill-down into details, you're not just getting a clear picture. You're getting the most accurate, up-to-date picture. The kind of picture that can make or break important decisions (and careers).
Make one of your 2015 goals to implement a BI solution that does the archaeology for you. This year, start digging without getting your hands dirty.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
(TheNicheReport) -- Recent financial news headlines have been dominated by the recovery of the housing economy and the future of the mortgage markets, but not much has been mentioned about the performance of the publicly-traded companies in those sectors. The shares of some companies doing business in the mortgage and housing industries have enjoyed a performance almost parallel to the housing market recovery.
Home builder stocks often take the spotlight during a housing boom; this often leaves mortgage stocks in the background. According to a recent MarketWatch column by Jon D. Markman, investors should take a second look at the following stock to see if it fits into their portfolios as part of a diversification strategy
Nationstar Mortgage
Just like mortgage lenders and originators, home loan servicing companies were subject to close scrutiny by regulators in the aftermath of the housing crash and mortgage meltdown of 2008. Nationstar Mortgage (NYSE:NSM) had its Initial Public Offering (IPO) earlier this year with a debut of about $14 per share. The stock is currently trading at $34, and Nationstar enjoys status as a major independent mortgage servicing enterprise.
As the housing market improves and more successful loan modifications allow homeowners to keep their properties, Nationstar Mortgage stands to grow their operations and deliver more value to shareholders. The company also has a mortgage origination unit that closed $3.4 billion in new home loans in 2011. The majority of these loans are guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Clients of Nationstar Mortgage are not limited to mortgage investors and originators. The company also services loans for government agencies and private equity funds. As part of the company's servicing efforts, Nationstar is on the front lines of loss mitigation since it can identify potential delinquent payments and intervene accordingly in order to avoid default.
Further proof of the company's growth strategy can be appreciated in the recent acquisition of Residential Capital, a company that was part of the troubled lender Ally Financial. The transfer of assets should be completed by the end of the year, and at that point Nationstar's loan portfolio will grow by about 400 percent.

This prentice work, discovered in only 1983, is clearly a harbinger of
the Two Pieces for string quartet of 1928, probably the earliest
Copland composition to have become part of the repertory. The first of the
pieces (Molto Lento) has an affinity with Stravinsky, whom Copland
deeply admired, in the hollow, luminous spacing of the parts and in its
quiet, slowly ritualistic gait. The oscillating diatonic concords of the
opening bars, with the second violin's drooping ninth that creates
a 'blue' false relation, are, however, the heart of Copland, evoking
both a hymnic sobriety typical of rural New England and a wistful
lonesomeness revealed as the urbanly jazzy blue-note figure is obsessively
repeated in sundry permutations, though without evolution or growth. The
harmonic movement is vastly slow; even the climax is harmonically static,
being built over an ostinato, or revolving 'cam', in the bass.
The second piece, Rondino, brings the thin textures of Copland's
early Parisian works into contact with his New York home, for it adapts
the nervy rhythmic contradictions of New York jazz to his cosmopolitan idiom.
It is not quite black jazz since there is no earth-beat for the melodies
to swing against; but it uses rhythmic contrariety - mostly a fight
between 2 2 and 3-plus-5 8 - to promote an urban vivacity that is more
than a shade jittery. Although the piece has more harmonic movement, as
well as surface animation, than the Lento molto, its rondo structure
means that it doesn't develop climacterically. Repeatedly it returns
to its starting-point; in so far as it moves, it is by linear permutation
rather than by harmonic progression.

It will be quite a while before these types of buyers can qualify for a mortgage, putting a big dent in homebuilder's future sales prospects.

We all have triggers. Some people's are deep, some are shallow. Some are devastating, some are just irritating. As a motherless mama, my particular trigger happens to be when I see or hear of a young mom with a supportive and involved mother, in the role of a grandmother. Still now, almost five years since my mom's death and almost two years since my daughter's birth, I can't quite deal with it with the grace and acceptance I long for.
One of my recent goals was to spend more "me" time – guilt-free and just for me. Today I had a couple of hours to spare because a work meeting fell through. I thought I would treat myself to a manicure/ pedicure with a gift card I had sitting around in my wallet for months.
It was a beautiful little day spa in my neighborhood. I was soon in my zen place. Feet up, toes all pretty, relaxing spa music and dimmed lights. As the lady finished up my pedicure, we were chatting away about all sorts of things. She was a talkative woman in her late 60's, with kind eyes and a warm smile. She told me about her now-grown three kids, her neighborhood, and her elderly mom. She asked about my family and I told her I was a mama to a beautiful toddler girl. She asked about my background and I told her my parents and I had immigrated to Canada when I was a little girl. She asked if my parents missed home. Here we go, another awkward exchange coming up. I told her my mom had passed four years ago and she did a quick "ohh," averted her eyes and changed the subject. Same old awkward reaction, I am used to it.
She asked where my daughter was and I told her she's with my mother-in-law, who looks after her every Tuesday while I usually work at the office. She smiled and said, "oh okay, she's with her grandma." Sting number one. It hurt, but not as bad as sting number two. "You know, when my first granddaughter was born," she said with a smile, "I used to take her overnight just so my daughter can get some sleep. Otherwise, you burn out, you know."
Oh, I know. My zen place was suddenly gone and I was back in my reality place. I know it's an irrational response, but right there and then, I wondered how someone can say something so cruel. It wasn't cruel to her, I know. It wasn't cruel to someone who hasn't lost their mom, I know that too. She didn't understand. Not many people do. I scrunched up my face to stop the wall of hot tears that had formed at the edge of my eyelids.
I guess that's the thing about triggers. You can't avoid them, you can't prepare for them, and you definitely can't stop them.
On my drive home, I started thinking about other people's triggers – the mall full of moms pushing strollers to a woman who can't conceive, the restaurant full of couples to a lady who just lost her husband. There's so much pain in this world. I really miss the days when I was one of the lucky ignorant few who have never been affected by loss.

Shoiab Mansoor developing film on Indo-Pak relations
MUMBAI: Pakistani director Shoiab Mansoor, known for his hard-hitting films like Khuda Ke Liye and Bol, is gearing up to make the third, this time on Indo-Pak relations.
It may be remembered that Mansoor?s earlier two films having dealt with the socio-cultural, religious and political malaise in Pakistan. He was threatened for raising his voice against Islamic fundamentalism in the country.
"I?ve been deeply troubled by the deteriorating relations between the two countries. For too long now, we have been blaming extraneous forces and a third party for the decline in friendship between the two nations. Why can?t we look within ourselves on why the bond across the border has taken such a beating," Mansoor reportedly said.
Giving a brief outline of his upcoming film Mansoor said, "It can?t be a superficial boy-meets-girl across the barbed wire story. Vinema in both countries needs to go deeper to pin down reasons for the rapidly deteriorating India-Pakistan relations."
It is being said that Mansoor has Imran Khan and a new Pakistani actress in mind for the Indo-Pak love story.

Charice Talks New Movie 'Here Comes the Boom' & Possibility of 'Glee' Return (Exclusive)
Charice fans will not doubt come out in droves this weekend to see her big feature film debut in Here Comes the Boom, so Teen.com decided to ask her a few questions about her latest project and some other fun topics!
In the film, Charice plays a student whose school is experiencing some major budget cuts, specifically in after-school programs, so one brave teacher (played by Paul Blart: Mall Cop funny man Kevin James) decides to start mixed martial arts fighting to raise money. Though the fighting is risky, he ends up inspiring the whole student body. In addition to being one of the most heartfelt movies of the fall, you'll get to hear Charice belt out a new tune on the film's soundtrack.
Read on for Teen.com's full Q&A with Charice where we talk about the film, her Halloween plans, and much more!
Teen: What are you doing for Halloween?
Charice: I will put on my darkest and scariest costume and scare the neighbors! I'm obsessed with ghost stories so it's the perfect holiday for me.
Teen: Here Comes the Boom is all about extra-curricular programs. What club would you be in and why?
Of course I would be in the music club – that's why the message in this film is so perfect for me. Music saves a lot of people so it's a shame it's often not given the priority it deserves in school and education. I would also join a dance club and a computer nerdy club.
Teen: Other big stars like Henry Winkler and Salma Hayek are also in HCTB. Who would you love to work with that you haven't yet and why?
Charice: The list is endless, I don't even know where to begin in listing them. Let's just say I love comedy and also action heroes.
Teen: Over the last year, your style's definitely changed. Who are some of your celeb fashion/style icons?
Charice: I'm inspired by lots of different fashion icons but I'm not really someone who admires someone because they have a specific name. I also go with how I feel inside, what makes me feel good. It's important to find your own style and experiment with style and fashion.
Teen: Last year, Sunshine Corazon stole the show(s) on Glee. Have you seen any of this season? Is Sunshine ever coming back?
Charice: I've seen some of this season and still love it. I have no idea if Sunshine will come back.
@teen How was the XFactor Philippines experience? #ChariceTeen
— Marie Chaster ∞(@LovelyChaster) October 9, 2012
Charice: It was an amazing experience, really very special and something I will always cherish.
@teen @officialcharicepls ask her experience as an XFactor judge in Philippines. Any chance she'll perform in XFactor USA? — mm (@bulakena) October 9, 2012
Charice: No idea, we'll have to wait and see.
@teen @officialcharice #Chasters #ChariceTeen when is she gonna release her second album? Is there any concert in north america for her?
— Ian Victor B. Gabon (@ianvictorgabon) October 9, 2012
Charice: I'm working on many songs right now – there is no fixed date.
Don't forget to check out Here Comes the Boom, out in theaters October 12!

GameGrin's Gary Durston writes: "As a franchise with a history five and a half times longer than the war in which it takes place, Wolfenstein: The New Order brings with it an air of much-needed change, not only with regards to the story of the war itself, but also to the overflooded first-person shooter market. Always one to bastardise the factual history of World War Two, Wolfenstein moves away from minigun-toting Führers and supernatural artefacts from previous incarnations, and now plays about with chaos theory as we are introduced to a frightening world in which Hitler's Nazi army have won the war and are now controlling the world through fear and the sheer might of the Nazi war machine."
Wolfenstein: The New Order may aim lower than Watch Dogs -- but it hits more of its targets.
Some of the characters (such as Obersturmbannfuhrer Engel) are simultaneously hilarious, grotesque and evil. Not easily forgotten.
Wolfenstein: The Order gave me better entertainment value than most other video games in recent months.

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
- Fellini, Federico 1920-1993. Italian filmmaker whose works, including La Dolce Vita (1960) and Amarcord (1973), combine social satire with elements of fantasy.
from WordNet 3.0 Copyright 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.
- n. Italian filmmaker (1920-1993)
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Which is very surprising because I went to great schools, so I certainly know about classical music, I certainly knew about literature, but amazingly, though, I have never heard the name Fellini, I had never heard of Buster Keaton, I had never heard of any of the people you would consider in the canon.
Extended Film Discussion With Hue Rhodes, Director of St. John of Las Vegas | /Film
His face alternates between joy and sadness, reminiscent of some of the clowns in Fellini's movies.
Yes, the original 1982 show beat Dreamgirls (the adaptation of which topped my 2006 list) for the Tony, and the cast is to die for (these divas have more Oscar bling between them than Meryl Streep), but the bigscreen version amounts to a Cliff's Notes version of 8 1/2 interrupted every so often for a forgettable song from one of the ladies in Fellini's life.
The Bottom 5 – Peter Debruge's Biggest Disappointments of 2009 – Collider.com
Traveling from the other world, Fellini is about to pay a visit to Venezuela's Villa del Cine to honor and support President Hugo Chavez's efforts to launch a socialist film renaissance for South America.
Valeska was in Fellini's Juliet of the Spirits, she played the hermaphrodite.
Once called the Fellini of photography, LaChapelle has worked for the most prestigious international publications and has been the subject of exhibitions in both commercial galleries and leading public institutions worldwide ....
Protest Art �� Five Photographic Works by Three Contemporary Artists
I'm in the Fellini camp -- can we go to a place called Fellini Camp?
In an attempt to help further revive downtown Charlottesville, Porotti and Gordon opened an Italian restaurant up the street called Fellini's, then promptly divorced.
"Federico Fellini surveys a set for the following day, 'Fellini's Satyricon,' Rome, Italy, 1969" is one of 39 black-and-white candid pictures taken on movie sets by Mary Ellen Mark, a documentarian best known for such gritty photo books as "Streetwise" and "Falkland Road: Prostitutes of Bombay."
Unlike some of his contemporaries, such as Fellini and Goddard, Bergman opted for austere visuals and gave his actors much greater freedom to explore their characters.

Learn about the issues in color control and proofing that printers face when producing ceramic decals with process-color separations.
While the peak temperature of the kiln is important, it is also important that the pigments themselves reach a particular temperature. With heavy pieces of ware, longer exposure to peak kiln temperatures may be necessary for the ware and pigments to reach the correct temperature. If the ware is not exposed to peak temperature for a sufficient amount of time, the pigments in the decal may not mature, resulting in a decal that is underfired. The color of an underfired decal will tend to be dull and muddy, and the surface finish may lack gloss.
Conversely, if a decal is overfired (exposed to an excessively high temperature), colors may burn out and lose vibrancy. Differences of just 20-30°F (approximately 10-15°C) from the optimal firing temperature recommended by the color supplier can degrade final image quality.
The atmosphere in the kiln can also influence color, especially with cadmium colors. If the kiln provides insufficient air circulation, cadmium colors may fail to develop. Ceramic printers usually print cadmium inks as heavily as possible to minimize this problem, but the heavy pigment load alone won't compensate for a lack of circulation. So it is important to conduct test firings of sample decals in order to identify and resolve problems as early as possible.
Hope on the horizon
While conventional offset printers can rely on a highly repeatable contract proof as a cornerstone around which to build a successful print run, ceramic screen printers have only the final fired result for guidance. And this final result is subject to a long list of variables, such as printed dot size, ink thickness, concentration and mixture of pigments in the ink, and the exact temperature and atmosphere within the kiln during firing. With such a broad range of variables, it is very difficult to yield subtle changes in one area of a print without introducing subtle and unwanted variations into other areas.
Recent technical advances offer hope for resolving some of these issues. As color separation technology and color management through ICC profiling are developed further, it may be possible to get fairly reliable translations into and out of ceramic color. These translations would enable ceramic printers to offer more economical separations, reduce the cost of art development, and make prepress proofs feasible.
Additionally, ceramic pigment manufacturers are continuing to develop the quality of their pigment ranges, which should reduce the amount of out-of-gamut color that printers must resolve in order to yield a color-accurate product. Until these solutions become available, however, printers must continue to rely on their knowledge of ceramic colors and careful control of the entire decorating process.

Lot # 166 (of 1137) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1911 T205 Gold Border Addie Joss PSA EX-MT 6
Starting Bid - $1,500, Sold For - $3,555
Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. Extremely high-grade example of Addie Joss from the classic T205 Gold Border set. Bright, crisp, and clean, with brilliant colors and perfect registration. The card displays four square corners showing minor white touches and is centered to the left. The reverse of the card is also perfectly clean with bold blue text, a small tobacco stain (mentioned only for the sake of accuracy), and centered to the right. This is a stunning card and in an extremely high grade for a T205 Joss. This is one of only five examples ever graded at this level by PSA with only a lone PSA 7 grading higher. Joss is a particularly significant card in T205 because he is both a key Hall of Famer and also one of the rarest cards in the set. This is an even more significant card than most collectors realize, as the T205 of Joss is actually a memorial card. Joss tragically passed away from meningitis on April 14, 1911, cutting short one of baseball's greatest careers. Few collectors realize that the text on the reverse of the card specifically refers to his death in 1911 as a "great loss to the game," closing with "He was a faithful player liked by his team mates and respected by the public, many thousands of whom attended his funeral." All Addie Joss T205s have the same text on the reverse. This is a very sharp high-grade T205, and an extraordinary example of one of the most important and desirable cards ever issued of legendary Hall of Famer Addie Joss. The SMR value is $5,500. Reserve $1,500. Estimate $3,000/$5,000. SOLD FOR $3,555

After spending some time in the Star Alliance First Class Lounge and eating everything on the menu, it was finally time for the ~16.5 hour flight from Los Angeles to Abu Dhabi aboard Etihad in their First Class suite on EY170. It's always a fun experience for me when I get a seat that has closing doors – I'm not sure why, but the extra privacy is always nice.
I had to wait a little longer though as boarding and departure was very late. From the looks of the number of people at the gate, it was going to be a very light load.
Etihad First Class Review – Seat
Eventually we got on the plane, and when I first walked into the cabin I was very impressed. The cabin simply looks awesome – not because of any individual features, but because each individual seat looks great. Everything looked new and high class.
The first class cabin on this plane is very small – just two rows of four across. That meant boarding for First Class was completed rather quickly despite the cabin being full. Unfortunately I came to learn that Business Class passengers also walk through the same door as First Class passengers, so they all walked by and stared at everyone as they got to their seats. That's a bit unusual for international First Class cabins in my experience, as non-First Class passengers tend to not walk through the First Class cabin.
Anywho…that brings up the point of how close Business Class actually is to the First cabin. Right behind my seat past the curtain is Business Class, as you can see easily in this pic:
Thankfully this wasn't an issue for me at all with noise or otherwise. The only time it became an issue was for the flight attendant that came to take my drink order as she had to fight through a few people. I ordered a glass of water, then I continued to explore the rest of my suite to see what there was.
One of the flight attendants came around to offer coffee and dates as well, which I declined. My glass of water eventually came about 10 minutes later.
It took a while to get my pajamas and amenity kit as well, which had been passed around to other passengers already. I also had my friend Jamison aboard to compare service with, and he seemed very happy with his service so far, while mine was good but seemed a bit delayed. I didn't get a choice of size for the pajamas, but they seemed like extra large (so too big for me).
I tried talking to one of the flight attendants, and she seemed very shy and awkward in conversation. I can't really complain though since I know English is her second language, but I figured she was a relatively new at her job. The other flight attendant I spoke with, however, was great. I guess she sensed that I wanted to change into my pajamas before takeoff (something I usually try to do), but wasn't able to, and she made sure to come let me know that the lavatory was free after the seat belt sign was turned off after takeoff.
Back to before takeoff, I continued to explore the seat and what kind of controls and storage there was.
Right next to the seat was a touch screen panel that was similar to the one on Cathay Pacific, but slightly larger. Through it you could control the seat, lights, call the flight attendant, and more. Everything worked really well and was intuitive.
There was also a small storage bin next to the seat that housed the IFE remote and various outlets. You could store small things in here but nothing substantial.
Between the storage and the windows was the usual wasted space, but I think most of us end up putting things here throughout the flight anyway. It was a good place to store things while I slept later in the flight.
The one thing that I thought was cool but not useful was the closet. It had a mirror and a hanger inside, but it was so narrow that I could just barely fit my hand inside if I squeezed. It was really difficult to hang my shirt on there, and it didn't really even fit my shoes either. The one on Asiana A380 First Class is MUCH more functional since it provides that extra two inches of width.
During this time the Etihad Chef came over to introduce himself, and a flight attendant came to take my meal order. I'm not sure why the chef didn't take the order, but it didn't make much of a difference. Soon after that we took off and were on our way to Abu Dhabi.
As soon as the seat belt sign was turned off, the flight attendants came around to close all the window shades. The guy sitting across from me actually asked to have his bed made immediately. I also took a look at what was inside the "mini bar" at my seat.
I wanted to watch a movie through the IFE, which had a pretty good selection of Western movies and TV shows, but the noise cancelling headphones at my seat were not working properly. They kind of worked if I fidgeted with them, but it was too annoying. There were no flight attendants around the cabin so I pressed the flight attendant call button. No one came after five minutes, so I turned it off and back on again, and then one of them came rushing. She took my headset immediately, and two minutes later another flight attendant brought me a new one that worked perfectly. Transcendence was my movie of choice during dinner.
Etihad First Class Review – Dinner Service
The new flight attendant came by with drinks since the dinner service was starting, looked at me while holding the drinks, paused, then left without saying anything or giving me the drink. Um, did I miss something? Then she returned a few seconds later, opened my tray table and set it, then left and came back with my drinks, bread, and a dish of olives, mushrooms, something I think called harisa, and pesto. Yup….she's definitely new, at least to the First Class cabin if nothing else.
Note that my pictures might be a little dark since the cabin lights were turned off after takeoff.
After that came the Arabic Mezze that I ordered…a dish that I was looking forward to more than any other.
I wish there was more light available for this picture, because there's actually A LOT of food here. Kabobs, grape leaves, hummus, and more. This could have (and should have) been a full meal, but it was just the appetizer! And it was delicious. The kabob was warm and the hummus was so good. Between courses I received a raspberry sorbet.
Next up was my main course, and I selected the US rib-eye steak with potatoes.
It was surprisingly tender and actually very good, while the potatoes were nothing special. There was some fat on the steak and it was a rather thin piece, but the size of it was still good considering my huge appetizer. I don't think any meal will ever beat the wagyu beef fillet I had on Japan Airlines First Class a few months back anyway.
I'll also point out that once the meal got started, all the service was excellent. I was checked on several times and empty plates or completed dishes were never on my table very long.
I was asked if I wanted dessert since they didn't take that order before takeoff, and I asked for the baklava. The flight attendant agreed and started to clear my table, but then knocked over my glass of soda. Thankfully she caught the tablecloth before it got on my clothes. And you guessed it…it was the new flight attendant again. It just wasn't her day!
The baklava came and was delicious as it tasted very fresh, but unfortunately it came with no napkins. I dug up a few from my laptop bag that I save for situations like this.
At this point I closed my doors and continued watching my movie. The seat itself is tucked behind the shell of the seat so it's not like your neighbor can see you anyway, but the closing doors really give you that added privacy to feel like you're in a (small) room.
I wasn't sleepy after my movie, and with a good 13 hours to go I decided to finally buy internet on the flight for $22. It's a bit pricey, but I thought it would be worth it since I needed to get some work done. I worked for a few hours and then headed to the front galley with Jamison where he was having a conversation with the chef.
The chef mentioned to us how much better the food is when departing from Los Angeles than Abu Dhabi because of how hard it is to get fresh food like fruits in the desert country. One of the pilots happened to exit the cockpit at this point as well, carrying a pillow and blankets, and asked us about our trip. He recommended we do the desert safari, as pretty much everybody else also recommends. Thankfully I've already done it! His "bedroom" was a small room just aside the front lavatory, which seemed like a noisy location.
The chef also convinced me to have a "passion fruit and cucumber smoothie" that I was reluctant to try. It smelled gross, but tasted alright. Not something I'd order again!
Etihad First Class Review – Bed
At this point there was about 8 hours left in the flight, so I decided to get some sleep. I rang the flight attendant call button again, and the chef, of all people, showed up. I told him that I wanted to have my bed made and he told me that all the First Class flight attendants were asleep, so he'd have to ask one of the Business Class ones. I found it to be quiet odd that they wouldn't stagger the shifts to have at least one First Class FA working all the time, but no biggie. The Business Class FA came and made my bed without any issue.
The bed was huge in terms of both length and width, and it was also very comfortable. The bedding itself was also good and the pillow seemed to be genuine down as there were feathers all over afterwards.
I went to sleep and slept for 6 full hours, which was longer than I was expecting. Unfortunately I woke up a bit too late to have a full meal service again, so I asked the chef what my options were. He said he could make me a bagel roast beef sandwich with chips. That worked for me, and I also ordered a plate of fruit.
Aside from the sandwich being slathered in a mayo-sauce, it was actually much better than it looked. The fruit was fresh as well. I was bummed I couldn't have a full meal, but at least I wasn't hungry after this food.
The flight attendants seemed like they were all very busy as they walked around the cabin towards the end of the flight. My dinner table was still made with 15 minutes to landing, but everything was finally picked up with 10 minutes to go. They didn't even bother to mention I'm not supposed to have my laptop bag on the side near the windows, where it stayed for landing. I was also handed a immigration fast track pass.
Etihad First Class Review – Chauffeur in Abu Dhabi
Once we landed we made our way to immigration, which was just as fast in the normal line as it was in the fast track line. After bag x ray we were off to follow the many, many signs for the Etihad Chauffeur that we receive. The cool thing about the chauffeur is that you can take it to pretty much anywhere in the UAE, including Dubai if you wanted to. Our hotel was in Ajman, which was over a one hour drive away.
Once we got outside, there were a line of mostly Audis ready to take us to our destination. They weren't familiar with our specific hotel so there was a bit of extra time wasted at the end of the trip, but we eventually got to our hotel. Can't beat a free ride!
Etihad First Class Review – Summary
There's no denying that the Etihad First Class hard product (the seat/bed) is one of the best there is. The seat is extremely comfy and spacious in both seat and bed mode. The closing doors to the suite make it extremely private, and aside from that it looks gorgeous with the colors they've chosen. The food was also excellent, and the on board chef on my flight took his job very seriously.
The only negatives to be found were with the service. One of the flight attendants clearly hadn't worked the First Class cabin many times before, and it really showed. The fact that none of the First Class FAs were available when I wanted to have my bed made was a bit odd as well. But other than that, service was great and friendly.
I think I prefer Etihad First Class over Emirates First Class, despite the latter having a shower. This is a great way to get to the Middle East or beyond, and I'd be happy to fly them again.

A calling-card to the Sheridan WYO Rodeo each year the Indian Relay Races have excitement, but also some controversy as well.
Aside from the at times politically incorrect commentating, a certain amount of physicality comes with the event. The races are made up of four-team heats with three-man teams, and the relay exchanges can become violent when riders fall and horses collide right in front of the grandstands.
Some might see the exchanges as part of the sport like fights in hockey, or even more incidental like hits in football.
This week's Bank of Sheridan/sheridanmedia.com Poll Question is: Are the wrecks what people like most about the Indian Relay Races?
Let us know what you think, go online and feel free to post appropriate comments. Then, be sure to tune into our Jackson Electric Open Line at 9 am this Friday on 930 KROE.


text: Dealer refuses to cover advisor breach A mutual fund dealer appears to have rejected an ombudsman's call that it should cover client losses stemming from an alleged advisor fraud. Yet to be proven in court, a 63-year-old client with modest means says she was sold non-existent private placement by an advisor. Now, the dealer refuses to pay her the $55K in compensation recommended by the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments. On Thursday, the ombudsman announced that Sentinel Financial Management Corp. has refused to compensate a retired Saskatoon investor for the $55,000 she claims to have invested with a Sentinel advisor between December 2010 and March 2012 in the Enviro-Can private placement. Relying on an anonymous tip, the Financial Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) in February 2013 found that the advisor in question was depositing the cash from several clients in a personal bank account rather than investing the funds in the private placement. In fact, according to the FCAA and RCMP, there is no evidence that Enviro-Can private placement ever existed. When the mutual fund dealer found out about the advisor's actions, which were contrary to the rules and procedures of the firm, it terminated her employment in March 2013. Sentinel has defended its refusal to compensate the client suggesting it did everything it could to supervise the advisor and that the inappropriate activities of the advisor were carried on outside Sentinel's facilities without its permission or approval. However, the OBSI concluded that the client believed that the Enviro-Can investment was made through and approved by Sentinel. Furthermore, it concluded the following in its recommendation that Sentinel compensate the client for the $55,000 lost as well as an appropriate amount of interest. "Case law is clear that mutual fund dealers and investment dealers are vicariously liable for the actions of their investment advisors in regard to securities-related business. Sentinel acknowledges that Ms. K was engaged in securities-related business when she recommended Enviro-Can to Ms. G. Sentinel is responsible, as a member of OBSI, and vicariously as Ms. K's mutual fund dealer for the losses Ms. G incurred on Enviro-Can. We recommended that Sentinel compensate Ms. G $55,000 for the losses she incurred but it has refused to compensate any amount." The RCMP is currently undertaking criminal proceedings against the advisor in question. SHARE

Rockfour, anyone?
Rockfour, anyone?
This is what I have been attempting to do all year. In my artwork. In my living spaces. In my relationships. Forthrightness. Cleanliness. Honesty. Getting rid of things I don't need. Eliminating things I don't use. Saying goodbye to things I don't want. Trying to lead a more simplistic lifestyle so that I can focus on the important things in life? (i.e. eating well, honing skills, responsibly managing my money, connecting with people, exploring, enjoying my 20s, etc).
I have been giving away belongings all summer, and have made a lot of progress. Peeling away the layers of crap that I have surrounded myself with since childhood has felt really good and liberating, as it should. But somehow, I find that it is never enough. It's like…I get this burst of energy to purge everything, and then I reach a plateau where I feel good about my progress and then I stop to pat myself on the back and 'take a breather'…prematurely. Shortly thereafter I slowly continue accumulating more, when I should be at a stasis.
Life is complicated enough as it is. Why should I be over-complicating and over-cluttering mine with more and more things? I don't need so many multiples of items that I don't even use. I need to stop assuming I will need them later, when 'later' will more than likely not come any time soon. Once I crawl out from underneath the crap that I have been holding onto, then I can have no excuse not to start living…right?
What further complicates matters is that I feel like I am on self-imposed house arrest. Once my immediate surroundings become a minimalist haven, then what? I go to work. I come home. I go to work. I come home. I therapeutically indulge in teen dramas and transhumanist literature in my spare time, but beyond the obvious…I don't do anything.
Remind me to consider finding some more useful hobbies once I am done putting my room on a diet.
Nothing new there. Nothing new here necessarily either beyond the fact that I've had an undisclosed Snow Patrol song stuck in my head for 4 days now (NOT "Chasing Cars," ew). But I can't really complain over anything that gives me more of an excuse to drool over YouTube videos of Irish hotties. Just sayin'.
In other news, some imagery from a dream I had on Sunday night was really vivid. So vivid, that I think the only way to convey it with any justice would be to draw a picture…
More details shortly.

OCILLA, GA (WALB) - Our student-athlete of the week has worked hard his entire career.
On Thursday, it all paid off.
Irwin County baseball star Kyle Posey signed a baseball scholarship with Brewton-Parker Thursday afternoon.
Posey is not only a star on the diamond, but in the classroom, where he has a 4.0 GPA and is fourth in his class.
He says he always wanted to be an honor graduate, and worked towards that goal.
"Of course, you get academic money that can help pay for it," he says. "I always wanted to have good grades, so even if I didn't have a baseball scholarship, I knew I'd be able to get into college and get a degree."
Posey says he plans to go pre-med in college and work towards a career in sports medicine.

Liberals reject reasonable reform to prevent appointment of partisan watchdogs
June 14th, 2017 - 4:31pm
OTTAWA – The Liberal government squashed an NDP motion on Wednesday that would have ensured only non-partisan individuals are appointed to be independent federal watchdogs. This follows a month of scandal involving the nomination of a life-long Liberal even though she admitted that, due to her conflict of interest, she would be unable to investigate the Prime Minister.
"This was a reasonable measure that would have restored trust in who is chosen to scrutinize how elections are run, how tax dollars are spent, and investigate ethical violations of elected officials," said Nathan Cullen, the NDP's Critic for Democratic Reform. "These watchdogs are in place to give Canadians some insight into how our government is being run, and by definition they must be independent and non-partisan."
The proposal would have set up an all-party vetting committee for nominations and was widely seen as a balanced and sensible solution. The NDP even amended their own motion to address procedural concerns raised by Liberal MPs but in the end, the government was unwilling to place any limits whatsoever on who they are able to appoint to these high ranking positions.
"The Liberals are sending a clear signal; they believe they can appoint whoever they like to these important positions no matter how close to the Prime Minister or how partisan they might be," said Alexandre Boulerice, the NDP's Finance Critic. "This stinks and makes me very concerned for who they'll try to appoint next."
In the coming months the Liberals will need to fill the positions of several other watchdogs and Officers of Parliament, including the Chief Electoral Officer, the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, Lobbying Commissioner, Information Commissioner, the Parliamentary Budget Officer and Clerk of the House.

In the old days, SQL Server's primary users were small departments and workgroups, and administrators used the "when in doubt, reboot" philosophy to keep SQL Server up and running. Times sure have changed! Now many enterprise-class organizations use SQL Server and depend on 24 x 7 server availability. Customers spend a lot of time and money designing highly available, fault-tolerant systems for their businesses.
SQL Server's high-availability capabilities have improved, but no one can claim 100 percent availability. DBAs commonly refer to a server's "number of nines" when talking about availability. For example, a server that has four nines is available 99.99 percent of the time. A year contains about 31,500,000 seconds, so 99.99 percent means your system can be down for about 52 minutes per year. Five nines, 99.999 percent, allows you only 315 seconds of downtime. Adding a sixth nine would allow you only 32 seconds of annual downtime. So you can see how "adding nines" to your system's availability becomes increasingly difficult. Thinking about an unscheduled reboot, just for the heck of it? Forget about it.
Microsoft is always looking for ways to improve SQL Server so that customers can achieve higher levels of availability. The company performs extensive availability research and likes to receive feedback from customers that helps SQL Server developers evaluate availability trends. A colleague of mine at Microsoft is putting together a list of the 10 most common causes of unplanned outages, and I told him that you would help. Yes, you. Microsoft needs to know why systems become unavailable so that the development team can fix the problems.

What great friends and family I have, to make my birthday so very special! Birthdays are so fun, or as I like to call National Leslie Heimer Day! Funny how like everything that happens on your birthday is magical and fortunate, when on a normal day you would certainly realize that the red light was slowing you down instead of thinking, "how lucky that I am stopped at this redlight, otherwise i would have never seen that gorgeous rose bush"! Sooo, here are some pictures of some of my well wishes and most thoughtful suprises from my birthday.
So creative! I just love my JL crew and our special *J*- she is the best!
The girls in the office (which of course includes my mom and sister) made me this wonderfully kind and thoughtful coupon book!! I just loved it complete with all of my favorite things! This on reads "good for 1/2 of a Sugarfree Amp energy drink and a shot of B12" (pictured is my fav drink!) Ahhh... thanks Di!
Obviously I had to wear one of my own designs on my big day to add to the Fabulosity! My girlfriends love my designs, well sometimes! Jill (aka Jillbert) gave me one of my favorite gifts! You think they're tring to tell me something!?! I just love it!
The smallest things are usually my favorite, as they are the most thoughtful. For breakfast Justin made my favorite, eggwhite omlett, and stuck a candle in, while jackson played happy birthday on his guitar for me! Then Jackson and Dane gave me thier most thoughtful gift, a magazine for my trip. Not just any magazine, STAR, a trashy gossip one make-up free celebs gracing the cover. This is just the confidence booster I needed! (isn't it funny how you always notice a few more lines on your birthday? All day was sprinkled with loving phone calls and facebook postings, pop-ins with ice cream cake! (Thanks *A*) and cards and gifts. Of course, the highlight was when my knight in shining armor whisked me out of the office, and off to dinner at my favorite Season's 52 in orlando. We were home by 9 to pick up the kids from my generous sister and brother in law to find Dane with a small hemotoma (ok it was a goose egg) and Jackson lost his front tooth. Reality check mommy! Thank you to everyone for such a special day, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU WHO SEEMED TO INSIST ON WISHING ME A HAPPY _ _ st Birthday!

Think Outside The Box For Referral Program Ideas
Think Outside The Box For Referral Program Ideas
Small enterprises are fortunate because they be capable of quickly develop and test fresh referral programs to see if they'll work for the designed marketplace. This is an excellent advantage that small businesses have over huge businesses which have multiple departments suffering from deploying a fresh referral program. This capability to react quickly enables small enterprises to think beyond your box and also have fun implementing fresh and different referral applications. Though traditional, old referral program ideas ought to be component of your advertising toolbox, make sure to think beyond your box with regards to driving new business.
Give Something free of charge
If you can provide a small, low priced product away free of charge to your customers they can use as a showcase of your business without needing to think about offering, you will receive referrals. This enables you to supply value in the eye of your customers without needing to share income because they're simply moving along your company's information with their family and friends who are searching for a similar service or product.
An example of this might be considered a photography company providing a little product like a mini-album of photos from an image shoot that folks will naturally carry with them showing off the adorable photos of their children and family. As the profit generating sales are in the bigger photos deals and scheduled photo classes, a little mini-album promotes the standard of the photos and is usually branded with the business's logo and verbiage.
Celebrate a particular Holiday or Event
While nearly every retail business will special deals and discount rates for all major vacations like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, and Labor Day, your business may stand out by performing a special advertising on nontraditional vacations like Planting season Break or April Fools' Day. Distribute a particular coupon or low cost to your existing clients and extend the present to their family and friends. Allow them email or printing out the discount for others to make use of the special offer on a day time that occurs every year, but is probably not identified by larger companies. Deciding on a special event may also be smart to make the most of a promotional advertising opportunity like a unique referral discount coupon that's good through the Tour De France bike event or the united states Golf Open, etc.
Send A THING THAT Lasts
Giving presents that last a considerably long time are excellent methods to remind existing customers on the subject of your romantic relationship with them and your customer the capability to initiate conversations with others on the subject of your company's service or product. Flowers certainly are a popular "many thanks" gift for employing your organization but sending a potted plant or flower will live much longer and ideally be on screen if they enjoy it. While giving something special that lands on a business executive table can be the ultimate goal of business presents, the normal pen, paperweight or calculator will probably never be utilized. Be innovative and tailor the present for the average person you are sending it to. Perhaps a nice group of towels for golfing, or another item that may be seen by additional business associates and not simply positioned on a shelf or in a drawer.
Have a great time developing cool and exclusive benefits for your business customers to maintain your business in the forefront of their thoughts. Talk to your sales and advertising teams and brainstorm suggestions to fit your marketplace perfectly. If you're your small business owner make certain and make use of the capability to quickly try fresh things until you develop the proper customer appreciation presents that help drive home based business referrals.

The Lake District, Cumbria, where generations of artists, poets and writers have been lured by its beautiful valleys and dramatic peaks; landscapes that have inspired Ruskin and Wordsworth, the pathways of Wainwright and the lakes of Swallows & Amazons.
It's a land that has cradled the discovery of graphite and the development of pencil making. Over the generations, The Cumberland Pencil Company has evolved the simple pencil into a range of diverse and innovative products to suit every kind of artist from aspiring amateur to dedicated professional.
Founded in 1832 in the Lake District, the home of the first pencil, it is still going strong. Our passion and commitment to excellence is demonstrated to perfection in the Derwent brand of fine art drawing media.

Swede is one vegetable which somehow or the other I have never gone around to cook. Walking down the aisle of the local supermarket, my eyes fell upon this lonely swede waiting to be picked up. I have never tasted this vegetable, so had no idea about it. Being in an experimental mood, I picked it up and brought it home with great gutso. While I was still toying as to how to go along,my eyes fell on the last few remains of soya chunks, which have been lying around for some time. That's it!! I am going to make a curry of swede with soya chunks. And of I went…
I assembled-
1 medium sized swede (also known as rutabaga or yellow turnip), peeled and diced (it's a tough nut to crack, so watch your fingers and the knife)
a handful of soya chunks, soaked in hot water
1 large onion, 1 inch piece of ginger and 4 cloves of garlic, blended to make a paste
1 bay leaf
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 whole red chilli
2 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1tsp garam masala powder
1 tsp tomato puree
2 tablesp cooking oil
salt to taste
How to-
Boil the diced swede till they are tender to the touch. Drain the water and keep aside.
Heat the oil in a pan. Add the cumin seeds, whole red chilli and bay leaf. When they splutter, add the onion, ginger and garlic paste.
Add the tomato puree and the turmeric, chilli and cumin powders and stir till the water evaporates.
Add the boiled swede and soya chunks and stir for a couple of minutes.
Add a little water, cover and cook till the curry begins to thicken a little. Add the garam masala powder, stir for a few seconds and remove from heat.
Serve hot with rice , rotis or parathas.
I served the curry with vegetable parathas and I can tell you , no one complained at dinner time! Hooray !!
