text: Hi, I know the device is new and people are just now getting their devices. I should be getting mine on Friday. I have read some reviews about the instability of the OS and that it is running a custom Archos OS based off 1.5. I was wondering if anyone has had the opportunity or knowledge if it would be possible to used a custom built ROM such as Cyanogen? Ideally I would like to take a ROM based off 1.6 and load it on the device. If not, any idea if Archos is planning on putting out an update derived off 1.6? Thanks in advance!

Collaboration with general aviation stakeholders is improving recent Transportation Security Administration security measures, members of the House Homeland Security Committee's transportation and infrastructure protections subcommittee said in a hearing July 15.
Subcommittee chairwoman Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) expressed concern and questioned existing GA security measures. The questions were based on a 2007 Houston television news story in which reporters were able to gain access to three local GA airports.
In May 2009, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released a report that examined the TSA's role in GA security. The report concluded that the threat posed by GA was limited and the "steps general aviation airport owners and managers have taken to enhance security are positive and effective." Security officials, members of industry, and the reporter of the news story testified before the subcommittee about the OIG findings and recent security measures that have affected GA, such as the Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP) and security directives.
Members of the subcommittee, including Jackson Lee and ranking member Rep. Charles Dent (R-Pa.), also discussed the progress of efforts to find solutions that reflect the differences between commercial and general aviation and do not cripple an industry that brings so much to this country.
Several members of the subcommittee questioned the TSA about its collaboration with stakeholders on the proposed LASP and its use of security directives to establish new security requirements. John Sammon, TSA assistant administrator for transportation sector network management, said the TSA's consultation with stakeholders is working as the agency takes steps to reduce GA vulnerabilities and attributed the progress to the leadership of AOPA President Craig Fuller.
Rep. Pete Olson (R-Texas) commended the TSA for its effort to listen to stakeholders and issue a new or revised notice of proposed rulemaking: "[The] TSA has gone back to seek further stakeholder input on the matter. From what I have heard, all have been pleased with the pragmatic approach the TSA is now taking. I look forward to seeing the new rule that TSA will soon issue."
A second panel of witnesses outlined the potential effects of overly restrictive regulations on GA and the small businesses it supports. Robert Olislagers, executive director of Centennial Airport, estimated that the LASP would have cost Centennial an additional $300,000 to $1.3 million per year as it was initially proposed. Martha King, AOPA member and co-owner of King Schools, discussed how GA helps her and her husband keep their business efficient by turning travel time into work time and limiting employees' time out of the office.

Thinks are going great recently. My therapist said I only needed to see her every other week because I'm doing so well at coping with my anxiety. The voices are almost silent. Also I have two people interested in my pagan group.
Plus the music program I'm in just finished a cd. Plus we're going to play at The Big Easy for the second time. It's a dream come true.
I had a great time last weekend with my parents at the family reunion. It was in winchester mass. There was good food…

Dear Everyone
I apologize for being away so long but I've had a bladder infection and blocked kidneys...please keep me your prayers. The positive side is I got along with my family during all of this and tried to stay in a good mood. I was scared because I was spitting up food and couldn't seem to swallow. I think I became stronger because of it and closer to my family.
I was sick for two weeks and kept going to doctor's offices to figure out what was wrong. I now have a catheter…

Dear Everyone
I managed to make it through Cirque De Soleil (a cross between a circus and a rock concert) without a xanax for my social anxiety! I asked for help from Chumanzoo (who is my companion dragon) to deal with anxiety. I also went earlier last wed to do exposure work for the anxiety. I had a fabulous time watching the hunky acrobats do amazing stunts, all in time with the band that was playing.
Afterwards I went home to visit my parents. I got a personal-sized pizza at…
your very welcome! how are you doing today?
Hi again. Yes,please,recipe would be appreciated. I can't wait to find out about these sloppy Joes! Thanks! Love and light,xxx

|"Remember that bad thing we saw? It looked just like this. This is bad."
The Movie
The film begins when an earthquake hits Mexico, resulting in the overnight birth of a new volcano. Sent to study this phenomenon are geologists Dr. Hank Scott and Dr. Arturo Ramos. En route to the village of San Lorenzo, the two men happen upon a destroyed house and a totaled police car. They find the dead policeman nearby, as well as an abandoned infant. They take the infant to San Lorenzo and give it to some friends of its (now missing) parents, and are welcomed by the village's priest, Father Delgado. In addition to the disappearances of locals and the destruction of their homes, there have been wholesale slaughters of livestock and strange roars in the night. The villagers believe the culprit to be a demon bull and have been pestering Delgado for divine assistance. Undaunted, Hank and Arturo begin their geological survey as members of the Mexican army, led by Major Cosio, arrive in San Lorenzo to begin disaster relief efforts. Hank meets and falls in love with local rancher Teresa Alvarez and makes friends with a young boy named Juanito.
The volcano erupts again and the true culprits behind the disappearances and deaths are revealed as giant prehistoric scorpions. After attacking a staff of telephone repairmen, the scorpions turn their attention to San Lorenzo itself, with the guns of Major Cosio's troops having no effect on them. The next morning, the scorpions have returned to their underground lair (which, in addition to the scorpions, is home to giant worms and spiders), leaving the authorities to seek the help of renowned entomologist Dr. Velasco. It is up to him, Hank, and Arturo to figure out a way to either destroy the scorpions or seal off the entrance to their cavern home, before more innocent lives are lost.
Despite collapsing the cave entrance, the giant scorpions make it to the surface and destroy a train, killing some passengers before fighting amongst themselves. In the end, one scorpion, the largest of the group and presumably the alpha scorpion, kills all of the smaller ones, making it the last scorpion alive, and it heads for Mexico City. Hank and Arturo come up with a plan to lure it to a stadium where the military is waiting with tanks and helicopters. Using a truckload of meat from a butcher shop, they manage to lure the scorpion into the stadium where the military's weapons are again proved useless against its armor. However, Hank manages to finish it off by using an electric cable attached to a spear and shooting it into its throat, which is its only vulnerable spot. After destroying several tanks and choppers, the scorpion is finally, and fatally, electrocuted.[1]
- The sounds of the scorpions are the same sounds as the ant chirps in Them! (1954).
- The trapdoor spider that attacks Juanito in the scorpions' underground home is one of the original models left over from the famous deleted spider sequence in King Kong (1933)
- That giant worm with the "octopus-like arms" seen in this film is a prop from the unused spider pit sequence from the original King Kong (1933).
- While filming the stop-motion effects at Tepeac Studios, O'Brien and Peterson were assisted with miniature set construction by Ralph Hammeras, who was at the same studio filming the visual effects for The Giant Claw (1957).
- Many of the screams heard are stock sound effects that can also be heard in many Republic movie serials.
- Willis O'Brien and Pete Peterson began filming the special effects of this film in a large remodeled dressing room at the Tepeac Studios in Mexico City, but when money became tight they finished the picture in Peterson's garage in Encino, California.
- The volcano shown at the beginning was Paricutin which erupted in 1943 and was active for about a decade.
- At the conclusion of the scene where Hank and Arturo have arrived in the village for the first time and after Hank has given the baby Manuel to the Parish Priest and are preparing to get out of the Jeep a bird can be heard chirping followed by a cat meowing. Although there are special effect sounds and music added to the audio track it would appear that they were otherwise recording raw audio as they filmed with little post-production work to clean up environmental noise.
The Episode
Host Segments
Prologue: The Bots throw a party, for Joel.
Segment One (Invention Exchange): Joel makes a giant party favor and then Dr. Erhardt starts to show their invention before realizing it's exactly the same thing as Joel made. A lab accident with a "cold fusion Walkman" mutated Dr. Erhardt in to an alien-type creature, while Dr. Forrester becomes a skeleton. Forrester tries to soften the blow by claiming their invention was actually a salve to cure their "condition".
Segment Two: Joel and the bots present a madcap tribute to Mexico
Segment Three: Crow and Tom discuss human nature, unaware that Gypsy has become a scorpion monster
Segment Four: Crow and Tom put on a puppet show and discuss stop-motion animation, correcting the earlier mistake regarding Ray Harryhausen designing the effects when it was actually his mentor, Willis O'Brian.
Segment Five: Reading letters
- When introducing the film, Dr. Forrester states that the effects are by Ray Harryhausen. They are, in fact, by Harryhausen's mentor, Willis O'Brian and animator Pete Peterson.
- The scorpion/spider model that appears in Host Segment Four is made from a Masters of the Universe Spydor toy. The box for this toy (presumably the same one) was later used for the Freak Out kit in Experiment #410 (as revealed in the first Poopie! volume).
Running Jokes
- Joel and the Bots clap whenever Dr. Hank Scott's name is spoken.
- Or is it for Dr. Arturo Ramos and the sudden fancy Spanish accent accompanying it?

- "[Imitating Bing Crosby.] Now, Junior, we're just looking for a place to picnic here. I know Gary's buried around here someplace. Look around for that shallow grave."
Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby (1903-1977) was a singer and actor best known for hits like "White Christmas" and a series of "Road" films with Bob Hope. Gary Crosby (1933-1985) was Bing's oldest son who, six years after his father's death, published the autobiographical Going My Own Way (1983), which detailed his mother's alcoholism and father's emotional and physical abuse. Two of Gary's brothers, Lindsay and Dennis, confirmed the account; they both killed themselves several years later.

- "What's behind this tree? It's a dead cop! –That's right, Bob, it's a 1953 seniora policia, complete with a .38 snub-nose revolver, dilated pupils, and rigor mortis. You, too, will sleep silently in seniora policia. –From Spiegel catalog, Chicago, Illinois, 60609."
An imitation of game show announcers, most likely addressing The Price Is Right host Bob Barker. Spiegel is a catalog company that was started by German immigrant Joseph Spiegel in 1865. During the 1970s, they provided many prizes for game shows, and the announcer would plug the prizes by saying, "Spiegel. Chicago, 60609."
- "I told him not to eat the worm."
A reference to the myth that worms are sometimes found at the bottom of tequila bottles.
- "The San Lorenzo Milling Around Festival! –Hey, G.I. Joe, number one! –Hey, mister, my sister boobly-oobly! –Chocolate? Eh?"

- "You know, Gary talked to me that way once. Once."
A reference to the 1984 comedy gangster film Johnny Dangerously, which starred Michael Keaton in the title role as a charming mobster and Joe Piscopo as his psychotic antagonist, Danny Vermin. A runing gag involved Danny uttering lines like, "You shouldn't hang me on a hook. My father hung me on a hook once. Once."
- "Amen to that, Sluggo. I mean Father Sluggo. Padré."
Possibly a reference to the character Sluggo Smith in the long-running comic strip "Nancy." The diminutive, shaven-headed boy was introduced in 1938. It could also refer to the clay antagonist of the Saturday Night Live character Mr. Bill. "Mr. Bill" was originally a short film submitted by New Orleans DJ Walter Williams in 1976 when the show asked for home movies. The sketch proved wildly popular, and the characters returned more than twenty times; Williams was hired as a full-time writer for SNL from 1978-1980.
- "It's the Cisco Kid!"
The Cisco Kid was created by O. Henry in the 1907 short story "The Caballero's Way." In this tale, he is an outlaw who kills and robs along the Texas-Mexico border. However, when the character was adapted for other media, he became a hero. The first of twenty-seven films was released in 1914; the last in 1950. In 1942, a radio series began that ran for more than 600 episodes before its end in 1956. A television series—the first to be produced in color—ran from 1950-1956. Comic strips and comic books were published off and on between 1944 and 1967. In 1972, the band War released a popular song titled "The Cisco Kid." The character hasn't done much of anything since the western genre petered out except for a 1994 TV movie starring Jimmy Smits as the title character and Cheech Marin as his sidekick, Pancho.
- "Hey, it's Dale Evans, and I thought she was stuffed. –Mounted."
Dale Evans (1912-2001) was an actress, singer, and the third (and last) wife of singing western star Roy Rogers (1911-1998). She co-starred with Rogers in more than two dozen films and in NBC's 1951-1957 The Roy Rogers Show (a 1960s version of the show didn't last very long). In 1953, she published a book titled "Angel Unaware", which was about her and Roy's daughter Robin, who died before the age of two from complications related to Down's Syndrome. Her openness and advocacy changed public attitudes toward the mentally disabled. Roy Rogers' famous horse, Trigger, is frequently thought to have been stuffed after his death in 1965. In fact, a plaster likeness was made and his preserved hide was stretched over it. In taxidermy, this is known as "mounting." Trigger was on display in the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum, first in Victorville, California, and later in Branson, Missouri, until it closed in 2009. In case you're wondering, Dale's horse was named Buttermilk; he was also mounted and displayed at the museum after his death.
- "That's the same place where they filmed Robot Monster."
Robot Monster is a 1953 science fiction film often regarded as one of the worst films ever made, featuring, as it does, a man in a gorilla suit with a skull mask wearing some sort of diving helmet while destroying the world with a bubble machine. It was featured in Show 107.
- "The weather started getting rough. The tiny ship was tossed."
A couple of lines from "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle," the theme song of Gilligan's Island, the 1964-1967 CBS sitcom. It was written by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle. The first season version was performed by The Wellingtons; later seasons were sung by The Eligibles.
- "Are those foam hats? I told you to wear mouse ears."
Presumably a reference to the mouse-ear hats originally worn by the Mouseketeers on The Mickey Mouse Club, which first aired in 1955. The hats were designed by Disney artist Roy Williams, who also played "Big Roy," the adult Mouseketeer on the show. They are sold at the Disney theme parks, with space for the child's name to be embroidered on the back, and now come in a dazzling array of varieties and colors other than basic black.

the most arrogant quote ever..?
but I like it - taken from 'Bonjour Tristesse' by Francoise Sagan:
"Althought I do not share my father's aversion to ugliness, which often led us to associate with stupid people, I felt vaguely uncomfortable with anyone devoid of physical charms. Their resignation to the factthat they were unattractive seems to me somehow indcent".
most bizarre quite ever?
yes totally
the book is mostly like that - self indulgent arrogance - it beats reading something called 'My So-Called Life' or whatever if it doesn't actually resonate or make you laugh/cry/snort at its incredulous phrasing.
anyway back to 'EMO' land
Didn't we
have a thread like this recently ?
I mentioned the book on a 'whats in your wallet?'
sorry, on a 'what's your reading at the moment' thread i think
Think before you speak
If you were smarter you would know. I suspect you are ugly as well
it's like a more-wordy
Hollywood Freak thread.
I was going to say exactly the same thing about ho fo......and your a vegetarian.......and you have lovely hair......but I am straight and unavailable
i imagined that quote being said by judge whitey from futurama
it was glorious.
"my caddy informs me... that a bank is a place where people put money that isn't properly invested"
Francoise Sagan
knew what she was talking about when she talked about ugly...
And she used to take a lot of not-very-legit products...
Nicky Wire has come out with some crackers in his time
All the more hilarious considering the fact he is basically talentless.
Quote is a verb.
That book
is pretty weird throughout anyway I thought... quite interesting though about when she wrote it and such.
yes she is bizarre to say the least
her biog says 'she owns five cars, one of whihc she crashed badly' - right.
nobody ever corrects this one on here
good going

The best self-help books are grounded in psychological theory and research. Yet both of these have their limits. Even a self-help technique that works like magic for most people in a respected study might fizzle for you.
Your best option is to translate an author's ideas into new behaviors and monitor the results in your own life. Cognitive behavioral therapists refer to this as behavioral activation, or running a behavioral experiment. There's a robust literature on these topics. Following are some core themes.
Check your mindset
Josh Kaufman, author of books about rapid skill acquisition and running a business, suggests that you be willing to see your life as a series of experiments. In effect, you adopt the mindset of a scientist who's studying the effects of a specific behavior change on a sample of one — yourself.
This mental change is subtle and significant. It starts from the assumptions that you can change your behavior and that it's worthwhile to make the effort. If you have a fixed mindset based on a belief that you ultimately cannot change, then you'll doom your behavior experiment from the start.
Choose a new behavior
See if you can translate an author's ideas into physical, visible behaviors. For examples, see BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits course. Tiny Habits are "baby steps" — daily behaviors that require little time or effort. Examples are flossing just 1 tooth after brushing your teeth and doing just 1 push up after you use the bathroom.
BJ's theory is that small behaviors expand over time into bigger habits, such as flossing all your teeth and doing dozens of push ups every day. This is exactly what I've found, and I encourage you to test Tiny Habits for yourself.
Ironically, lots of material in the self-help space is filled with vaguely inspirational abstractions that have no real implications for your daily behavior. (As much as I enjoyed the Landmark Forum, for example, it's filled with that stuff.)
Collect data as you do the new behavior
Keep track of how often you do your new behaviors and the results you're getting. You have many options here. Keep it simple.
For example, you could use an activity tracker such as a Fitbit to monitor how many steps you take every day.
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld used a wall calendar to track how many days in a row he wrote new jokes.

An Active 3-D review of the Ster-Kinekor 3-D Blu-ray release.
[An expansion of my review that appeared in the Johannesburg Saturday Star newspaper:]
Movie: *****
Disc set: ***
The suits who run the show over at Disney are seldom afraid of recycling product, and this fine film has certainly done the rounds, having appeared in standard cinemas, on home video (in numerous formats), and on IMAX screens. Now, with the entrenchment of Digital 3-D on the theatrical scene, the studio's taken to converting some of their older releases to 3-D for re-release. This movie recently opened on the 3-D cinema circuit in the States, but the option to do so locally was dropped – which is where this 3-D Blu-ray edition really comes into its own.
The story is a jazzed-up version of the original tale by 17th century French author Charles Perrault, and tells of a beautiful young lady who is held captive by a hideous creature, and who learns, in the course of her stay, to recognise the real, inner beauty of others, regardless of their external appearance. Apart from the extra characters that were created to flesh out the story for a feature-length movie, the tale was turned into a musical; and one that was good enough to be parlayed into a hit Broadway musical. Does it work in 3-D? In stiller scenes which involve lots of foreground and background interest, the 3-D is breathtaking. I found the faster-moving sequences not terribly easy on the eye, however. The original film used a mix of traditional 2-D animation and computer-generated backgrounds, and the 3-D process somehow heightens their differentness…
Extras: Some interesting featurettes, including a chat with the composer of the songs, Alan Menken, and a 'story reel' of the original visualisation of the first third of the film – which is worlds apart from the finished product. We also get four versions of the film to watch: the original 1991 cinema release, the same version with accompanying behind-the-scenes videos shown "picture-in-picture", a slightly longer re-release cut, and – obviously – the 3-D edition. Sadly, this boxset still falls a flat in the bonus features department. Given the vast capacity of Blu-ray discs, one would expect Blu-ray releases to carry forward all bonus features from previous DVD releases. This carries some, but not all.
Also, the bonus disc promises the fascinating behind-the-scenes featurette called 'Beyond Beauty' (I've seen it on DVD) plus another extra or so, on some other "Disc Two" which doesn't exist. It turns out that this bonus disc is nicked from the two-disc 2-D Blu-ray edition, in which it is Disc One… (Still with me?) A disappointing rush-job, which one doesn't expect from a normally-meticulous studio such as Disney.

This week, we've had a number of our customers that rely heavily on Facebook for the promotion of their business as part of their marketing strategy contact us asking what the 'Promote' option that now appears when they publish a status update is all about.
Typical questions have been:
Let's try to explain what has/hasn't happened and what the promote button does… but before I begin, let me point out I in no way agree with what Facebook are doing, or the way they have gone about introducing and communicating this.
A while back, Facebook realised that their users have literally hundreds of 'friends' on Facebook. They're not all people that we speak to, or want to speak to on a daily basis, but we want to be associated with, and we want to have a nosey about what they're up to from time to time. Facebook originally would put all wall posts from all of these friends into your stream (that's the recent stories as it's called now), and it was quite difficult to see what your real friends and family were up to, the people you were really interested in, and even for that friend, the posts that you're likely to be interested in.
They changed the way that the stream works, so that it intelligently, only shows wall posts that you're likely to be interested in based on two real factors, how much you interact with that person, and how much your mutual friends have shared, commented and interacted with your friend.
This change… affected Pages as well. So in summary, for a while now… if your likers don't interact with your page regularly, and mutual likers don't interact with your posts often, then those posts aren't likely to appear on your liker's stream when they log into Facebook.
It's important to point out that, in both the friends and pages examples, your friends/likers can still visit your page/wall and view all posts. Facebook haven't done anything to the way these are shown.
So what is this new promotion option all about? Well for a long time, Facebook have relied on advertising revenue, and the promote option allows Facebook to gain a little more revenue by allowing you to pay to force your post to be shown on your liker's streams whether they interact or not. I see this as an advert, and the pricing is the same model as an advert down the right hand side as well from what I understand.
So, if you post normally, your posts will continue to reach the same people that they reached before – those that interact with your page, and if you choose to pay to promote, you'll be paying for your post to appear on your likers' streams whether they interact or not.
So what can you do to appear on your likers' wall without paying to promote. Well there's a number of things you can do, but they ultimately all come down to "make your likers interact with your page".
So how could you encourage your liker's to interact with your page? As well as posting about what you're doing, and your latest products (your marketing side of things) ask your likers things such as:
We're sure you can think of others, and more creative ways, and you'll no doubt see people doing competitions, auctions and other things inviting people to comment on the post to enter. They're not only trying to get more likers, but by encouraging them to comment, they're increasing those users to interact with their page but… please ensure that you abide by terms of use. Some of these activities are not allowed under Facebook's terms.
Well, we hope this helps you to understand the new option, if you have any questions, please drop us an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or write our wall - to interact with our page .

Alright, I don't know about any of you, but I was raised to hate MLM (Multi Level Marketing) companies (aka: pyramid schemes [I know current MLM's do not fit the definition of pyramid schemes, but they re still referred to as such])- you know, the ones (that stereotypically) stay at home moms hustle to their friends? When I was growing up they were Pampered Chef, Amway, Mary Kay… and they always got BIG eye rolls in my house. My parents talked about them like they were the plague.
Today, they seem to have had a revival. The people in my social circles are most popularly repping itWorks!, DoTERRA, Arbonne, BeachBody, JuicePLUS, Jamberry, Rodan + Fields, and YoungLiving. And now I can't go on any social media outlet without seeing at least 10 different posts from different friends repping different companies at any given point during the day. My knee jerk reaction every time is, "ugh, no!" and to assume it's total garbage. Real talk- some of these people are actually really annoying. Like, enough already, that's clearly a filter!
BUT……. I am admitting publicly, I've been weak, and I have given in to a few. The power of Pinterest, before & after posts, success stories, and general cuteness of product; these are clearly working. side note:At some point I'd like to try all of them- like, say yes every time someone sells me so I can write an honest review from the perspective of someone not selling the product, not paid by the company that makes it… pure, unadulterated honesty. But some of these are $$$ and I can't afford to say "yes" every time- Who can?? I digress.
Let's take a step back and figure out why the way a company is marketed has such a profound impact on people. I know that there are those out there who aren't phased by MLM tactics, but personally, they phase me big time. Obviously. But why? Why does a product on a shelf feel more appealing, more legitimate, more likely to do what the container says it does than something your neighbor tells you about personally, and has her own stories about how it's worked for her, or how she loves it? You wouldn't doubt anything else she's told you about, but once you know she's selling it: RED FLAG! Alternatively, you ask your friends for recommendations on skin care products, hair products, birth control even- and take their word for it when they like something. But still- that stigma of the MLM persists.
I am not a psychologist. I have no idea why we have this reaction- why I have this reaction! And yet, even when I've liked all the products I've tried from a small sampling of these companies, I still distrust any MLM. I even hesitate to share the things I have liked with friends. And when I do share that I've enjoyed a product, I always, always start or end with "I do not sell this!"
Maybe because of those few that are over-marketing their brand? The ones that make you want to leave the internet forever… posting all hours of the day and night, and even on holidays! These are the reps (once friends) that I end up unfollowing. Personal Opinion Time: If you're gonna post that much, make a separate account. I want to see what's going on in your life, with your family and friends, what fun thing you're up to…. I didn't follow you to get a perpetual sales pitch. So be a friend or be a rep or be a happy medium if you must! This is probably a big part of why I shutter at MLMs. Because you thought you were friends with someone online or following their Instagram to get a look into their life, stay connected, whatever… and then you end up being sold to all the time.
However we feel about them, though, we wouldn't keep seeing more and more popping up on our feeds, and hearing about our friends making beaucoup bucks after successfully launching a rep business if it wasn't working! These companies get to spend next to nothing on marketing, have an unending sales team, with a tiny percentage of it's employees on salary, and still be wildly successful… it makes sense why companies would choose this route. It also makes sense why so many people are joining up to become reps… work from home, flexible hours, make money in your sleep, unlimited earning potential, support from fellow team members… what's not to like? For me, personally: sales. I hate it. I never was one for sales; I don't like getting pressured even on the sales floor at Nordstrom… where I go to shop. Also, I don't want to be that "friend" clogging up feeds, perpetually using friendships (or loose acquaintances) for monetary gain, or outlandishly obnoxious photo collages. (I know, that's up to the individual and you can shape your business any way you like.) But a lot of the time, the ones who are making the bucks are the ones who aren't afraid to get unfollowed, be bold (sometimes pushy, overselling, what have you), or post like there's no tomorrow, because in the end: it just works. They get the sales, they get the eyes on their posts & products, and they get. that. customer.
This business model is clearly a prime option for people who want to work from home, or make extra money on the side without taking on a new job. It's completely flexible- on your own terms… really, it's everyone's dream situation. I love that it's enabling parents to stay home with their kids, allowing families to keep up on their bills, help that underpaid assistant get a new car, students pay their college tuition… whatever it is. People need income, and if this is how they want to obtain it, then get that werk on! and honestly, if I had to work a full time job while my kids are as young as they are, I'd be heartbroken to leave them. So I get (at the very least, a few of the many reasons) why people jump on board amidst the bad rap on MLMs. Especially when it's a product they truly love- and I know some people that don't "need" the money, but are simply passionate about the product. I gotta respect that.
In all honesty, I have some close friends and family that have joined the ranks of these companies, and for the most part, they're either doing very well, or at least making up what they spend & utilizing their rep discount. I also have been happy with the purchases I've made from each of them. Are they all (MLM companies) winners? No. Do I want to join them? The answer is still no. Am I still annoyed by some of their posts sometimes, yeah. But I'm also so happy for them to have found something they're enjoying and earning an income doing.
So, you decide. Should we completely disregard a company or a product based solely on how it is marketed and sold?
Friend- the type you just need to go to coffee with to get to know and love?
OR Foe- obnoxious kid knocking on your window, making faces on the glass all day?

It is rare for a clairvoyant to have their profession registered on their passports these days, but Mr Marinus D Dykshoorn was more than an unusual man in his time. According to his autobiography "My Passport Says Clairvoyant" this gifted empath was certainly not a cheap psychic. He was a highly respected gentleman with astounding paranormal gifts, so much so the word Helderziende, meaning clairvoyant, was listed as his occupation on his Dutch passport.
Once Mr Dykshoorn immigrated to the Bronx from Holland in 1973 he continued with his "miracle working" ways in the USA. Yet, many years previously, when he was but a five year old kid from a small village in the Netherlands, he predicted an infertile woman would be "with child." His parents teased him but the little boy was proved right, and would soon become a legend in his own time.
His remarkable psychic gifts would enable him to locate lost items and people, in fact he traced silver coins in a field and even the hidden graves of Dutch soldiers massacred during the First World War; not even by a long stretch of the imagination could he be described as a cheap psychic, or could he?
When Dykshoorn cooperated with the NYPD as a US emigrant in the mid seventies, he was a cheap psychic. Why? Well, in exchange for his insights his payment was a place to live and groceries for his family. He continued to work in complete anonymity with police, also cooperating with law enforcement agencies worldwide to trace the whereabouts of the missing victims of crime. But Dykshoorn was not only an exceptionally talented clairvoyant who liked to keep his gifts under wraps, he was a healer, one New York resident swore that he had cured her of a brain tumour.
When he died in his eighties, the church was full of emotional fans whom he had helped and advised during his lifetime. He had always been available to anyone and everyone, happy to guide them along their way, his insights amazed folks, his kindness and compassion supported their lives.
Kindness and compassion is a perquisite for any psychic. Their talents can be insightful, sometimes astounding when they track a lost pet, or analyse a love relationship but without empathetic skills their gifts fall on arid ground. Of course, clairvoyants like any other profession need to earn a living, but if they put finances before feeling, their talent could dissipate, and their readings will become far less effective and insightful.
These days, the best astro companies ensure their psychics are genuine, and above all want to help their fellow man. For that reason alone it is always best to consult a reputable company when seeking a clairvoyant on line, because not only have they been tried and tested but chosen for their heartfelt attitudes.
Certainly Mr Dykshoorn will not be forgotten, he will be remembered as a gentle and talented clairvoyant by all the people he helped during the course of his amazing life, and without doubt the spirits of the deceased crime victims whose bodies were hidden in cellars or buried in lost locations will be greeting him enthusiastically on the other side!

"We, as Rotarians, can look back upon the years and see the difference we have made in the lives of others, bringing change to the world," said Rotary District 5060 Governor Wayne Rimple.
He was the guest speaker Monday at the Sunnyside Noon Rotary Club's weekly meeting and is making the rounds to Rotary clubs throughout the Lower Valley.
Rimple said much of what Rotary International has accomplished has been a result of individual ideas.
"We belong to one of the most influential organizations in the world," he told the Noon Rotarians.
The first Rotary project, he said, was in 1908. It involved providing public restrooms in the city of Chicago.
Now, Rotary has a seat on the United Nations and combined efforts of Rotarians are helping provide polio vaccines worldwide.
Rimple's message was about the "Power of One."
"It begins with you," he said, sharing one individual can devise an idea that will affect many others. Working together, Rotarians have been able to accomplish much, he said, as an example pointing out Rotarians are providing drinking water to people without it.
Rotary International founder Paul Harris was one individual. He wanted professional friendship and conversation, asked three other individuals to join him and the organization has grown to span many nations in just more than 100 years.
"Paul Harris knew what he wanted and he did it...the power of one," said Rimple.
District 5060, too, has developed a program that resulted from the idea of one individual within the area. That project involves the performance of surgical procedures around the world, correcting cleft palates.
Rimple provided another example, explaining Rotarians have provided the means to start an industry that makes cisterns for remote areas of the Rift Valley in Africa.
He said, "Working together we leave a lasting impression, making change worldwide."
Rimple continued to share the many accomplishments of Rotary International and how those accomplishments were the result of individuals within the organization.
"We have the wheel, so don't try to reinvent it," Rimple said, explaining the purpose of Rotary is to exemplify "Service Above Self" and work together to make dreams happen...whether those dreams involve a mission to help the local community or the world beyond the community.

To make a grilled turkey marinade, combine 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup water and 1 1/2 cups light cooking oil. Add 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon dried oregano and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar to the mix. Keep the marinade in the refrigerator until ready to serve, and beat the mixture well before using as a marinade on poultry.
The grilled turkey marinade recipe takes 15 minutes to prepare. The recipe makes around 4 cups of marinade, which is sufficient to pour over 12 to 16 pounds of turkey. The marinade is ideal for turkey as it enhances the taste of turkey without overpowering the flavor of the meat.
To make a honey mustard turkey marinade, mix 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup coarse-grain brown mustard, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup lemon juice and 2/3 cup salad oil until smooth. Marinate a turkey with a large, food-safe plastic bag, and use a brush to cover the turkey with the honey mustard marinade. Put the turkey inside the plastic bag, close the bag, and leave it in the fridge for 10 to 20 hours. The honey mustard turkey marinade takes five minutes to prepare and makes 1 1/2 cups.

The banners have gone up around Moscone West centre in San Francisco: Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) is ready to roll. It will carry on through the week, but the public-facing part is the keynote address. On Monday (10am local time, 6pm BST) Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, will open the show - in which he's expected to be aided by marketing chief Phil Schiller, software chief Craig Federighi and others.
But what will they reveal? Based on the banners in which an iOS 7-thin "X" is overlaid on a picture of El Capitan in Yosemite in winter, and an "8" overlaid on what looks like an undersea view, it's obvious that there are going to be big changes coming to the desktop Mac OS X system, and perhaps some smaller ones to iOS, used on the iPhone and iPad, in its new iteration iOS 8.
And what else will there be? After talking to developers and other sources – and looking too at past events – here's what one can expect, could expect, and probably shouldn't expect in software, hardware and services from the keynote.
As Harry McCracken points out, people tend to expect too much from WWDC keynotes. (He's gone back over a decade of them, with animated GIFs - highly recommended.) Because Apple three times launched new iPhones at WWDC (in 2008, 2009 and 2010), an expectation arose that it would do this every year - to the extent that some people really have suggested that it's going to launch or preannounce the next version of the iPhone here. It won't, for reasons that will be explained below. And note that there were also unrealised expectations of an "iWatch" last year.
Mac OS X
Apple's desktop operating system is going to get a new look. Version 10.10, which will probably be codenamed "Yosemite" (last year's was called "Mavericks" after a surf break; the names are based on famous Californian places) is expected to get the "iOS 7" treatment - that is, a reduction (or even elimination) of drop shadows in favour of a "flat" look like that on iOS 7. What's notable is that very little has leaked about this new version – not even a screenshot, which would normally be expected. Developers writing for OS X expect that they are going to have to rethink app interfaces so that they make sense on both this new look of OS X, and on the older ones that preceded it.
iOS 8
The iPhone and iPad software will get a smaller update than last year's - partly because Apple has shifted engineers from its mobile team to work on the desktop software. Equally, it doesn't have to make such a dramatic change - much of that (the different appearance, and the inclusion of gesture-based interaction such as swiping) was done a year ago.
While an update to the desktop software might attract some attention, it only has around 75m users - compared to perhaps 500m iOS users worldwide. That means that changes and additions to iOS are far more important, in terms of what they mean for developers and users.
With that in mind, Apple is also expected to begin an iOS "platform" strategy - rather as it did back in 2001-2, when it launched its "Digital hub" platform strategy for OS X. That introduced programs to organise music, photos, videos and to create DVDs - iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD. (Of those, iMovie was first - in 1999 - followed by iTunes and iDVD in 2001 and iPhoto in 2002.)
Healthbook app for fitness data
This time the platforms are expected to be "Healthbook", an iOS 8 app which will allow separate fitness and health devices to send data to a centralised data collection app on the iPhone, and a "smart home" app that will let you configure and connect to smart devices - electricity meters, light bulbs, air conditioners, and so on - which have a special "Made for iPhone" label.
Will Apple move into those markets, though? It would seem odd for a company that makes its money from hardware to offer a platform for hardware, and yet not exploit for itself by making its own products. However, if you look at the "digital hub" portfolio, Apple only made hardware for one of those strands of music, photos and film - the iPod. Unless, of course, you want to argue, as you reasonably could, that the iPhone does photos and video. But it came up with the digital hub well before the iPhone project began.
So it's possible that Apple will get into the health/fitness and "smart home" hardware markets - but it might wait a little while before it does so.
Missing from iOS so far is any equivalent to Android's "intents", which lets an app signal to the OS that it's able to accept or send particular sorts of data - so for example a Flickr app would indicate that it can send and receive photos, which would then be signalled to any app that wanted to receive or send a photo within the OS. This is known as XPC (cross-program communication), and it has actually been available - but not turned on - in iOS since 2012. However, it's a private API, reserved - so far - for Apple's apps.
One argument I've heard from developers is that after all the upheaval of iOS 6 and 7 (adding iCloud in the former, and the complete design overhaul in the latter), now could be the time for XPC to become visible in iOS 8. If you want to try to unpick clues - as people love to - then the relevance of the "undersea" picture in iOS 8 is that this previously-submerged system will rise above the water. It's as good a suggestion as any.
Last year, the posters showed a wave (as it was revealed to be) at Mavericks for OSX, and a set of overlapping, translucent, primary-coloured rectangles for iOS 7 - which turned out to be about the "flat" design and translucency introduced in iOS. It makes sense, but only after you've seen it.
More confidently expected is that the Maps function is expected to add public transport information, at least in the US; for other countries, as so often with such services, other countries may have to wait longer (or it may be added piecemeal). It's easy to underestimate how vast a project getting public transport data for every city in every country is; Google has been at it for years, and it's likely to have cost millions and millions of pounds. Public transport data is a "nice to have", but is it essential?
There might be cross-platform integration of the "AirDrop" function, which currently works between iOS devices, or - but not also - between OS X computers. Being able to shift files between both platforms sounds attractive - but there's an obvious problem: what if you transfer a file from an OSX computer to an iOS device but there's no way to do anything with the file on the iOS device? For example, transferring an Adobe Illustrator file with multiple layers might sound great - but what's iOS going to do with it? And where would the file "be" on iOS when you tried to open it? One of Apple's biggest efforts has been to get rid of the visible file system, to focus instead on apps, which open files that are available to them (and stored in the non-visible iOS file system - it does exist). Cross-platform AirDrop might open up a can of filesystem worms.
A similar to-be-avoided can of worms is the suggestion that there will be a "split screen" system on iOS 8. Although Windows 8 offers this, it's not obvious to invoke (and probably works best on screens which have a 16:9 aspect ratio), and figuring out what a "swipe" means becomes more complex if you have two apps that use swipes side-by-side - does a swipe from one to the other mean you're trying to move content, or just swiped too far?
Possible but unlikely: some form of mobile payment system which turns iPhones into a way of paying for things. The obstacle here isn't that iPhones don't have NFC - while lots of Android phones do (though nobody, including Google, knows quite how many), the obstacle to their being used as mobile payments systems is the lack of standardisation. That hasn't changed; different retailers are using different standards, and fighting among each other. Apple would surely like to get into mobile payments, but the landscape seems too confused at present.
Apple TV
This set-top box, which runs a skinned version of iOS, is seriously overdue for both a hardware and software update. Apple executives have been dropping gentle hints about the size of the business that the Apple TV installed base generates - a $1.2bn business (from people buying content such as TV shows and films) in the 2013 financial year, according to Tim Cook, who said it wasn't right to call it a "hobby" any more.
The Apple TV lacks an app platform, except for a very select few developers - specifically, TV channels such as HBO (for its HBO Go service) and Major League Baseball (MLB). But all sorts of developers would love to build apps for Apple TV; it doesn't make sense either that the BBC can't build an iPlayer app, nor ITV or Channel 4.
Looking at the Apple TV content list for the UK, it's a limited list ahead of the keynote - Netflix, Sky News, Sky Sports, Bloomberg, MLB TV, MBA (basketball), NHL (ice hockey), Red Bull TV ("live and exclusive events featuring the world's greatest athletes, artists and more"), WSJ Live (news from the Wall Street Journal), YouTube, Vevo (music streaming and video), Qello (music concerts and films on demand), Vimeo (the video site), Flickr, Crunchyroll ("the best in Japanese anime and drama"), and KOR TV ("live Korean TV"). It's hardly a UK-oriented list.
Developers and others say that Apple has new Apple TV hardware and software that it has had in its testing labs since last year; they've been expecting it for ages, and so far been continually disappointed. Updated software with an app platform and a smart home interface - because where better to control your smart home than through the biggest screen in your home? - would make a lot of sense.
Don't expect a TV set; the replacement rate is too slow - about 10%, or once every ten years, compared to 50% for the iPhone, and 20% or better for laptops and desktops. But a set-top box like the Apple TV is additive - you can buy one without getting rid of everything else. (The hope that you might be able to route your other set-top boxes, such as digital TV or Sky boxes, through an Apple TV is over-optimistic. It's doubtful such a device can even be built.)
Apple and Beats
The Wall Street Journal suggests that the $3bn purchase price breaks down to $2.5bn for the (profitable) headphones business, and $500m for the (probably unprofitable) streaming music business. And it also gets Jimmy Iovine, who will be able to bring his considerable negotiating expertise and contacts in Hollywood and the music business. But given the demographic to which the Beats brand appeals, and the slightly different one to which Apple appeals, it's unlikely that they will be merged.
What about an iPhone - or a hint?
Apple makes phones in volume now - really big volumes. It doesn't launch phones in the summer now because it focusses sales towards Christmas, which is the biggest buying period of the year for mobile phones. But if - as many expect - it's going to launch a larger-screened iPhone later this year, shouldn't it give developers some sort of hint about it? Or maybe even just announce it?
That's easily answered. It didn't hint that it was going to change the screen size of the iPhone with the iPhone 5; developers had to adjust the layout of their apps to take account of the longer screen. (It took some a long time.) Apple didn't warn them because to do so might have slowed sales of existing iPhones. The chances of it doing so seem microscopically remote.
What about simply announcing the new phone? That's where the volume becomes important. If Apple were going to announce the new iPhone on Monday, it would have had to get millions of them built already - because to announce something and then not release it for months would kill sales of the existing product.
But there hasn't been any noise about new iPhones being built in huge numbers from the supply chain in China, which you would expect. That means there aren't any new iPhones coming.
The same probably applies to the "big iPad": if there's going to be a 12in iPad (measured diagonally), there should have been noises already from the supply chain. There hasn't been - and the usual focus on the September-December period would also suggest that, as for the past two years, the new iPad or iPads will appear around September-October.
MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Pro, Mac Mini
This is the present computer line. Two years ago the "retina" MacBook Pro was introduced; last year it was the Mac Pro. But the MacBook Air has been updated recently, the iMac doesn't need an update, and updating the Mac Mini would be underwhelming, to say the least. Even if Mac OS X is getting an update, it doesn't seem like the time for an update of any of the computer line.
Is that it?
On the user-facing side, yes. For developers, though, the promise is of a huge number of changes - as evidenced by the program, which ahead of the keynote includes such topics as "No Comment", "This One Is Sealed", "Shhhh, Can't Tell You Yet", "It's Under Wraps", and so on. Keeping the content of talks secret so that it won't tip developers off about what's coming up isn't unusual, but to keep the titles secret to such an extent - so that developers can't even plan their day (around iOS or OS X) is. Once the keynote is complete, the schedule will be revealed.
Unusually, Apple is streaming its "state of the union" keynote for developers, which happens in the afternoon and is the in-depth explanation of the public-facing changes that have been announced in the morning. That's indicative of something going on.

Strombo: Hipster Night in Canada
There was a funny meme going round on the CBC Community page yesterday.
"It could be worse," the post suggested over the symbol for Hockey Night in Canada. "We could have this guy."
The guy they were talking about was Ben Mulroney, our sad Canadian version of Ryan Seacrest,, the belittled son of disgraced Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, who has become the host of everything from CTV's coverage of the Oscars to our country's failed attempt to launch a homegrown version of Canadian Idol.
I have never gotten what the appeal of Bennie was. He has nice teeth, I suppose, though his hair resembles that of Count Chocula and his smarmy nature harkens back to the days of "ya dance with the girl who brung ya."
It would have been disturbing to have Vlad the Impaler as the replacement for Ron and Don, the muppet pair who look down from the balcony each weekend on HNIC and reminisce about Bobby Orr. But George Stromboulopoulos?(heretofore referred to as Stombo, as I refuse to cut and paste his name again and again.
Look hipsters, before you threaten to burn my ear with ethical coffee, don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining about Strombo personally. I like the guy. He's cool, though evidently not cool enough to take a pay cut and go to CNN where everybody confuses him for the short guy married to Ally Wentworth.
What I don't like is that Rogers, in its lazy wisdom, didn't even try to find someone who didn't already have a job. Why not have a casting call, like Masterchef Canada, and see if there is another living, breathing, hockey-loving sage out there who could take the reigns of a tired old institution and shake things up a little? HINC is a sure thing; people aren't going to tune out in droves if they don't see someone they've seen over and over and over again, like their stinky old grandpa (sorry Don!).
We know that Canadian television is an insular, incestuous place made up of people who can't get jobs in the States, but Rogers had a chance here to try something different instead of falling back on the old brand.
Sometimes, Canadians like a breakfast frittata instead of corn flakes.
It is true, Rogers didn't replace the Muppets in the Balcony with one of the members of The Hot Stove, the Brill Crème team that lays waste to the Canadian environment every evening with their massive amounts of guy product. There is enough lube on that hair to power a Harley Davidson across Canada.
But Strombo?
It's a sad day for Canadian television when the executives of Rogers simply dipped into another network's sad talent pool and picked the least offensive guy.
I guess they were afraid of creating another Don Cherry.
No chance with Strombo.
We're more likely to fall asleep.

On our way home from a lovely afternoon at the beach we were traveling westbound down the 401. It was about 2:20 pm and I hear my son pose question #1, 203 of the day. Mom, what are those people doing on top of the bridge? Why do they have flags?
I almost couldn't answer him. An innocent question with a loaded answer. Loaded even for a 40 year-old let alone a curious 5 year-old. What do I say? Um choked up. I didn't realize that there would be a repatriation ceremony today given the G20 was interrupting life as we know it. I swallowed the frog in my throat and tried to sqeak out an answer.
What could I say but the truth. I started with the definition of repatriation. Then I told him that there are men and women all around the world who's chosen profession is the military. That as soldiers they fight for our freedoms. They fight for everyone's freedoms. That sometimes they die. I then told him that the people on the bridges were there to show respect for what today's soldier did for us. To thank him for his sacrifice. To show the world that we are Canadians and yes, we support our troops no matter what.
Then the car was quiet. The air thick with questions without words to carry them.
The soldier being honoured today was: Sgt. James MacNeil, 28, of Glace Bay, N.S., was killed June 21 while on foot patrol in Afghanistan. (Department of National Defence)

Sketch Frenzy Friday June 18, 2010
Well, we are into another week of our sketches. This weeks sketch was designed by Angela Walters. I know most of our viewers have realized that I am using our digital software to create my sketches every week. This software is called My Digital Studio aka MD. MDS is an amazing software and you can do so much with it. If you do not have a copy, you should really look into order it from you demonstrator. If you do not have a demonstrator, feel free to contact me and I will order it for you!
This weeks sketch was a little challenging to create in MDS. I had to use the photo corners punches to get the correct look. I also used the "Enjoy" stamp set, which I believe is on the retiring stamps list. The retiring list are items that will only be available through July 1st or until supplies run out (whichever comes first). So, take a look at those list on my blog to make sure your favorite items are not gone before you get a chance to order. Some items or already sold out.
So sit back and enjoy the rest of the tour! The next person on the tour is one of our new members Tess Davis. To view her sketch click here.

I am on thyroxine and have trouble losing weidht so iwent to see a prvate nutrionist recently and had a 24 hour Halides Urine test. This shows that I have very low iodine levels and high fluoride levels and so could explain the difficulty of losing weight.
I wanted to check it out with my gp but he says he doesn't know anything about it - I think he doesn't like me going tto see someone else!
I'm going back too the nutritionist but want to get some ideas of what to do about this before i go. I think I'ce read that you can't take iodine supplements if you're on thyroxine.
Any idea please?

The first 27 Melodifestivalen song titles have been announced and I don't usually do a post like this until the songs themselves have been revealed but Sweden has clearly produced the best song title of the season already.
That song title is "Manboy", and since it's a Fredrik Kempe production it will probably be some epic schlager that, if chosen, would probably get under 50 points in the final.
The "webbjoker" competition has also opened to voting, so hopefully a good entry will come from that.
Speaking of internet selection of songs, Finland's web-voting ends soon, and I really hope that "Ei minua" makes it to the national final. It's the best of the lot by miles, and is also very Finnish.

For towing services, Good Sam selects the provider closest to your location that has the proper equipment for your vehicle.
Your Good Sam Roadside Assistance membership is also valid for services in both Mexico and Canada, for up to $1,000 of service per calendar year. Additionally, Good Sam covers fifth-wheel towing, providing towing to a nearby service center.

Hi readers, my-blogmedia would like to introduce you about VoIP. What's VoIP?. Here is the introduction.
You've made a few Skype calls and you've looked into digital phone service from your broadband provider, but that's as close as you've gotten to VoIP (voice over IP) technology. Or so you think. In truth, VoIP is revolutionizing the telecom industry, blurring the lines between voice calls and digital networks.
Those prepaid calling cards that offer rock-bottom international rates? VoIP makes them possible. Similarly, a growing number of businesses use VoIP behind the scenes to eliminate long-distance charges between branch offices.Routing calls over the Internet circumvents traditional telephone company charges, and fewer fees and taxes mean lower prices. Digital calls are easier to direct and manage, which makes them attractive even to traditional telephone companies. Don't be surprised if soon the landline you've lived with forever is replaced by an all-digital alternative -- though you'll likely be none the wiser.

SEO Grimsby News – Google's Shift To Semantic Search, But What Is Its Impact on SEO
Way back, at the beginnings of SEO, it had nearly always been about keywords.
When we prioritised keywords over content quality because, after all, that's what it took to get ranked.
A world of quantity over quality, it did not really matter if the keywords we used sounded surgically implanted or not.
We all knew that it worked, so went along for the ride.
Just like VHS has gone, (I remember when the best Video store in town folded). It is no longer about using hundreds of keywords.
Just like the slimline blu-ray DVD has replaced the VHS recorder; natural use of keywords in content is the way forward.
We live in the modern, reinvented world, where semantic search makes a major impact.

Luis Suarez has been banned from soccer activities and is facing a nine-match ban. That takes him out of the World Cup completely, but does it do enough for his actions? The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has stated that it takes the breaking of the code of conduct, which the footballer has done, seriously and acts accordingly to that. He is not the first player to face a lengthy ban, but is it enough considering his previous actions and the severity of the most recent?
This is the third time Suarez has bitten a player. It would suggest that this is a real problem, as he does not have his anger under control. While a nine month ban from any soccer-related activities keeps players safe during that time, it is clear that he needs other help to make sure it does not happen in the future.
Players have faced harsher bans for arguably lesser actions. In 1998, Paolo Di Canio was banned for 11 Premier League games and fined £10,000 ($17,000) because he pushed Paul Alcock, the referee for the Arsenal vs. Sheffield Wednesday match. This was a shove, and he faced a harsher ban. While this ruling was given by the Football Association, it gives the impression that a shove is worse than a bite.
Under a similar situation to Di Canio, David Prutton was hit with a 10-game ban and a £6,000 ($10,000) fine. The Southampton midfielder's shove may have been lesser than the Italian's shove, but it is still a harsher punishment that the Uruguay stalker. It suggests that the nine-game and four month ban for Suraez is not enough. After all, not only did he bite—not shove—a player, but he also has a history of this.
There has been one case that is similar to the current one, but the punishment was still harsher. Many will remember Eric Cantona and his kung-fu kick against Matthew Simmons, a Crystal Palace fan, in 1995. The soccer player was banned for nine months, and had to carry out 120 hours of community service.
These soccer stars are paid a fortune for doing something they love and representing their country at the same time. They are supposed to be role models, but the actions of players give the game a bad reputation. The idea that a four month ban from all soccer-related activities for biting a third player is enough is ridiculous.
If this happened on the street, it would be classed as assault and Suarez would have been arrested. He should be arrested for this—there is, after all, enough evidence to support the accusations as it was filmed. It is time that soccer players are held accountable for their actions legally. It would really show that the behavior is not tolerated by a civilized society.
Maybe something will happen in a court of law later, but right now all it means for the Uruguay striker is that he will be leaving Brazil early. He will not help his team get any further in the World Cup, and he will miss out on all soccer-related activities until October 2014. The question now is whether Suarez's four month ban from all soccer activities is enough for his third biting incident.

A new report has claimed that provision of breast reconstruction surgery for women undergoing mastectomy must improve.
Auditors found that only one in ten women with breast cancer are able to have reconstruction surgery at the time of their mastectomy, despite national recommendations that state surgery should be available to all.
The National Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction Audit found that a fifth of NHS trusts in England that perform breast cancer surgery do not employ a consultant radiologist, pathologist or oncologist who specialises in the diagnosis or treatment of breast cancer.
John Browne, a spokesman for the Royal College of Surgeons Clinical Effectiveness Unit, said that provision of breast cancer surgery is good.
However, he noted: 'Over the last ten years we have seen little improvement in access to immediate reconstruction after mastectomy.
'Current funding arrangements in the NHS, cancer waiting list targets and problems with the information and support provided to patients while making their decision about breast reconstruction may have contributed to this lack of progress.'
Women who undergo reconstruction at the same time as mastectomy have fewer operations and tend to suffer less from the psychological impact of losing a breast.
Anna Wood, head of policy and campaigns at Breast Cancer Care, said: 'This significant report reveals that only one in ten women with breast cancer is said to be getting immediate access to breast reconstruction surgery at the time of their mastectomy. This is totally unacceptable.
'While some patients we talk to have chosen to delay reconstructive surgery until much later after their initial treatment, the option of immediate reconstruction should be offered to all throughout England, as set out under existing Nice (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) guidelines.'

Mentor, Ohio – Avery Dennison announced today that public voting in the "Wrap Like a King" Challenge featuring Avery Dennison® Supreme Wrapping Films is open.
