The 90s were probably the definitive era for professional wrestling, as the boom in the wrestling scene with the Monday Night Wars and the amazing product being shown by the likes of WWE, WCW and ECW to get one over each other made it the most competitive era in wrestling history and also created numerous stars in the process as well. Some of the stars might have played a big part in helping their promotion become the best wrestling show on TV, while others played their own parts to keep the product entertaining and lively.
Even though much of the wrestling greats from the 90s are still rather active, many of them actually let themselves go after falling off from the product with the turn of the century, as they aged pretty badly over the few years and now look to be in a terrible shape, looking much older and weaker than they actually are. Some other wrestlers on the other hand kept themselves in top shape and made sure that they are recognized as the stars they were back in the 90s as they, on the other hand, have aged very well over the years.
Here we take a look at those wrestling stars from the 90s who aged badly and those who aged well and where they are right now and what they're doing after all these years.
30 AGED BADLY: Marty Jannetty (Then)
"The Rocker" Marty Jannetty found much love in the WWE in the 90s where he rose along with Shawn Michaels as part of probably the most exciting tag team in the promotion at the time, as he'd later get betrayed by his partner and be left to go his own way. Jannetty actually had a decent singles run in the WWE, winning the Intercontinental Championship from HBK later on. He'd later be a part of some other tag teams with the likes of the 1-2-3 Kid and Lief Cassidy (aka Al Snow), but his career went downhill soon enough as he was released by the WWE and wouldn't find the wrestling fame anymore. He'd only come back for sporadic appearances in some of Shawn Michaels' storylines.
29 AGED BADLY: Marty Jannetty (Now)
With the turn of the century, Jannetty would really struggle to get much work in wrestling as he'd return to the WWE because of HBK's help and get involved in some storylines and wrestle sporadically as well. He started to wrestle for Chikara in 2011 where he was again mostly a part of some tag team matches and helped them with their own shows as well, as he had disappeared in the past few years before his name was mentioned on WWE TV, which enraged Jannetty who lashed out on twitter about it. He was a part of the class-action lawsuit filed against the WWE for incurring traumatic brain injuries, as a return to the company who gave him everything seems uncertain at this point. Jannetty is currently at a very low point in his career and struggling to find work because of his terrible shape which was because of some horrible drug abuse in the past.
28 AGED WELL: Al Snow (Then)
Al Snow might not be remembered by many fans, but he was actually one of the more refreshing, hilarious characters of the Attitude Era in the WWE as he failed in his first stint in the company, but a new gimmick with a "fake head" at his side made him one of the top stars of their Hardcore division at the time. Snow would be a mainstay of almost all the big Hardcore Championship matches and while he maintained himself as a hilarious character, he also put on some really good hardcore matches and made sure the audiences were entertained at all times during his matches. He put on a lot of work to get himself over with the fans and accomplished that feat with some really entertaining stuff to help WWE get one over WCW.
27 AGED WELL: Al Snow (Now)
While he was such a success during the 90s in the WWE, he couldn't really match that popularity with the turn of the century as Snow became useless once WWE ditched their Hardcore Division. He would leave the company and come back for their OVW developmental for some time. He then joined TNA in 2008 as well as wrestling in the Independent circuit. He's currently with TNA as the manager of the Tribunal as he still looks to be in a prime shape physically, looking absolutely ripped with all those muscles. Snow has maintained himself really well over the past few years and made sure that his age didn't get the better of him.
26 AGED BADLY: Raven (Then)
Raven was probably one of the darkest characters in 90s wrestling, as the psychological heel made for some great story-lines in ECW and WWE during his time and was a prime reason on the success and rise of ECW in the 90s. Having worked for all three major promotions in his time, Raven found a unique persona in ECW in the mid 90s and ruled the promotion as their top star, as his amazing success led him to being recalled by the WWE later on as well. Raven's amazing work for ECW in the 90s not only helped put ECW on the map, but also made him one of the best characters in wrestling at the time as he was soaring during the 90s but would face some harsh reality later on.
25 AGED BADLY: Raven (Now)
He was recalled by the WWE with the turn of the new century, as he became the definitive face of their Hardcore Division, winning the championship numerous times and putting on some real extreme matches. He'd get popular because of his "What About Raven?" rant but later was released by the WWE, as he went onto join TNA where he was the leader of some more stables likened to that of his ECW days. But the past few years haven't been kind to the dark character, as he hasn't aged well at all because of his past alcohol abuse and looks to be in a messy shape right now and has really struggled to find work in the past few years. His wrestling days seem to be up and he needs to plan out his future well to see out the rest of his life comfortably.
24 AGED WELL: Diamond Dallas Page (Then)
Diamond Dallas Page was arguably the back-bone of WCW in the 90s, as he was WCW through and through and started his career in the promotion way back in the early 90s, before finding some popularity as the years rolled on. He was built perfectly from a lower midcarder to a main-eventer, winning the United States Championship first before being pushed into the main event scene towards the end of the decade. He finally won the WCW Heavyweight Championship in 1999, as he would be the guy who made WCW rather watchable towards its end and was their top star in its last few years, as his unique character and wrestling ability reaped a lot of fans into the product towards the end of the decade.
23 AGED WELL: Diamond Dallas Page (Now)
DDP would join WWE after WCW folded up, debuting as the stalker of The Undertaker's wife, which ended up being a horrible bust in the end. He couldn't seem to captivate the audiences in WWE and would be released almost a year after he joined, later going onto wrestle for TNA for a short stint but he realized that wrestling was out of his reach at this point and made a clever change in career. Page went onto become a Yoga Instructor and released DVDs of how his yoga helped people reshape their career, as it boomed as the years went on and became mightily successful especially after how it helped Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Scott Hall's lives. Page has kept his own physique in check all these years, as he looks amazingly fit and healthy right now due to his yoga and doesn't look his age at all, as his amazing change in career has been a massive hit and ensured that he's actually making a difference in his post-wrestling career.
22 AGED BADLY: X-Pac (Then)
X-Pac was one of the most exciting superstars of his time, as he brought much entertainment in the wrestling scene in the 90s as he started out as the 1-2-3 kid in WWE and later went onto become something big in WCW as part of the nWo. He'd get t he recognition for his amazing skills in the ring as he was quite the high-flying, entertaining guy in the ring who put on some really good matches as well, as his popularity soared when he returned to the WWE as part of D-Generation X and brought a new raunchy, exciting attitude to the stable. This was also t he high point of his career, as he would attain much popular as part of DX but would go downhill later on because of some real problems in his life.
21 AGED BADLY: X-Pac (Now)
X-Pac found himself in a rather dark place with the turn of the century, as the injuries mounted and he got more and more involved into the wrong kind of drugs, once forgetting how to work a match when he was in TNA after leaving the WWE. He continued to make a living by wrestling for various promotions as he wrestled in the Indy circuit for a number of years before returning to TNA in 2010 for a short stint. X-Pac again went onto wrestle for Chikara for a few years, before he was recalled by the WWE and is currently on a legends contract and helps with stuff at backstage at times as well, as his figure has degraded massively over the years because of his horrible drug abuses and that doesn't allow him to wrestle as freely as he used to, as he's left to make a living off his name right now.
20 AGED WELL: Booker T (Then)
Booker T has to be one of the more entertaining wrestling personalities of his time, as the master of the Spinaroonie started off his wrestling career with brother Stevie Ray in WCW as they formed "Harlem Heat" and dominated the tag team scene as one of the best tag teams at the time. But Booker T's popularity in particular soared as he went onto become a successful singles wrestler, going onto win the WCW Television Title before he went onto become a main-eventer in the promotion, going onto become a 5 time WCW World Heavyweight Champion and one of the best things about the promotion in their dying years, as he not only achieved all these successes himself but also made WCW watchable with his amazing entertaining ability in the last few years of the company.
19 AGED WELL: Booker T (Now)
Booker would go onto join WWE after WCW was bought off, as he was a core component of the Invasion story-line and one of the prime wrestlers in the Alliance's side at the time. He then went onto become a mid-carder who should've been a mainstay main-eventer, but he was buried by Triple H at WrestleMania XIX when he lost a World Heavyweight Championship to him, a match he was originally scheduled to win. But Booker would keep on being entertaining, later being drafted to Smackdown and be extremely successful there with his "King Booker" gimmick and he later became a successful commentator as well. He's currently out of the WWE and is looking for more personal projects, but he still looks absolutely amazing at 51 as he still has a well toned figure and looks like he could wrestle the best of wrestlers and still go onto put on an amazing match, as Booker has kept his physique despite not wrestling, something which rarely many inactive wrestlers can manage to do.
18 AGED BADLY: Sunny (Then)
Sunny was the prime reason why women became so popular in wrestling during the 90s, as her amazing body being displayed in the role of a manager became a big hit amongst the fans who wanted more and more off her sizzling figure as soon as she debuted. She went onto manage many teams in the likes of the BodyDonnas, The Godwinns and also managed Farooq for a while, becoming Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Manager of the Year in 1996 and also AOL's Most Downloaded Women. She'd later go onto host many WWE shows and also went onto manage the Legion of Doom, before she left the WWE amidst some backstage problems and her popularity would decrease from there on out.
17 AGED BADLY: Sunny (Now)
After leaving WWE, Sunny had short stints in ECW and WCW before she really fell off from the pro wrestling circuit and could only appear in Independent events over the course of the next few years. She made sporadic appearances on WWE as well and went onto be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011 as things looked to be going brightly for her at the time. But she continued to delve deep into the world of alcohol and drugs and all the bad abuses has left her shape in a complete mess, as she looks absolutely terrible these days and was again in the news when she starred in Vivid Entertainment's adult film last year. Although it's uncertain whether she's going into that career-path or not, Sunny has definitely ruined her reputation and won't get recognized by the WWE anymore as things look to be getting even more difficult for her.
16 AGED WELL: Sycho Sid (Then)
Sid Eudy was one of the most sought after talents in wrestling during the 90s, as his powerful physique and impressive skills made everyone want to keep him in their promotions, as he first gained popularity in the early 90s in WCW. He then joined WWE, where he had this reputation of this destructive monster, as he went onto become a main eventer and win the WWE Title as he would be one of the top stars in the much competitive WWE at the time and destroyed many a prominent wrestlers in his way to success. But constant injuries and problems with management saw him leave for WCW yet again, as he was still booked as a real top star in WCW but saw his popularity decrease as the century came to an end, but he was still one of the real destructive top talents in wrestling during the whole of 90s.
15 AGED WELL: Sycho Sid (Now)
Sid remained as a top star in WCW as the new century kicked in, but a horrible leg injury ended his wrestling career for good as he had go through a very painful ordeal at the time and needed much time to recover from it. He continued to appear in the wrestling events, as he became the Commissioner for World Wrestling All-Stars' in 2002 for some events and returned for wrestling for some matches in 2007 as well. Sid would return to WWE for a match in 2012, where he went onto squash Heath Slater and later helped Lita take down Slater on the 1000th episode of Raw. He hasn't appeared in the wrestling scene for some years now, but he still looks to be absolutely ripped and has a great body despite being quite old and going through some horrible injuries in the past, as Sid has managed to keep his body in good check and still looks like the monster he was back in the 90s.
14 AGED BADLY: The Sandman (Then)
The Sandman was quite the crazy character back in the 90s, as he was one of the pillars of ECW right from the start of its success to its closure, as he started off with the company in the early 90s where he had a rather weird gimmick, but found the gimmick of a beer-jugging madman in The Sandman who loved to put his enemies through a world of hurt. He won the ECW World Heavyweight Title and was always in the thick of things in the promotion, as his "extreme" nature and iconic feud with Raven saw him become one of the most popular guys in ECW, as he stuck with the promotion even during its dying years and was ECW through and through in the 90s.
13 AGED BADLY: The Sandman (Now)
After the fall of ECW, The Sandman went onto wrestle for some independent promotions and also joined TNA in 2003, wrestling in it for a bit along with his former ECW colleagues. He then got an offer from WWE, which he joined in 2005 and was an "ECW Original" in their revamped ECW Brand where he did show glimpses of his hardcore self, but the watered down version of ECW didn't let his true nature come to existence. He would have an even shorter stint on the main roster, as failure to gain popularity made them release him as he went onto wrestle in the Independent circuit even with his broken body and continued to do so for years. The Sandman looks like a broken man right now, as he's gotten old very quickly and looks weak and overweight, as the semi-retired wrestler will now want to live out the rest of his life peacefully and hope people will remember his legacy.
12 AGED WELL: Scott Steiner (Then)
Scott Steiner has to be one of the most impressive physical specimen of his time, as Big Poppa Pump' has been in the wrestling business for a long time now and has done a LOT of things over the course of the decades as well. Steiner gained popular along with brother Rick as the Steiner brothers impressed as one of the more technical, hard-hitting tag teams in WCW and ruled over the division as well, before going onto join the nWo and later become a main-eventer who once became Triple Champion (US, Television and World Titles) as well. Steiner was a prominent top star of the company towards the end of the 90s, as he started off his career slowly but adapted himself to become a big star in the end and is one of the most impressive things to come out of WCW.
11 AGED WELL: Scott Steiner (Now)
Steiner went onto join WWE after WCW folded up, as he was built up as a main-eventer at time who even got a World Heavyweight Title shot but lost the match against Triple H. He'd soon leave the WWE to join TNA, where he spent a lot of years and was part of some very memorable stuff, as his more "entertaining"/hilarious side was displayed during his time at TNA where he kept his hard-hitting persona in check. Steiner has recently been on the receiving end of much controversy, as he was banned from attending the 2015 Hall of Fame ceremony after he allegedly threaten to "kill" Hulk Hogan, but despite all these, Big Poppa Pump has been doing great as he looks like the beast he was back in the day as he still has the amazing muscles and superb physique and is currently looking on expanding some of his business expeditions, even though not anybody's sure at how that'll go.
10 AGED BADLY: Scott Hall (Then)
"The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon was one of the top superstars in wrestling during the 90s, as his cool heel persona won over many fans as he ruled as the Intercontinental Champion of the WWE during the mid 90s and left for WCW when they refused to pay him as much as the actual top stars. Hall went onto change the landscape of the WCW when he arrived along with Kevin Nash, as he created the nWo with Nash and Hulk Hogan as the three created the best thing about WCW as Hall would be one of the pioneers of that iconic group. While he kept himself as a top star in the 90s, he would fall with WCW as his popularity was decreasing the 20th century moved past and some of his horrible obsessions didn't help his cause either and stopped him from becoming something greater.
9 AGED BADLY: Scott Hall (Now)
He returned to the WWE after WCW was bought by them, as he returned as part of the nWo and even wrestled a WrestleMania match against Stone Cold Steve Austin before he was released by the WWE because of his alcohol abuses. Hall went onto join TNA where he wrestled alongside Nash in various stints over the next few years, but slowly and surely his body was giving in to the abuse he put it through with the alcohol addiction which had escalated with the turn of the century. He was growing fat and weak and almost became a vegetative stage before Diamond Dallas Page helped to revive him from the darkness and even though he's currently much better, he's still looking much older than he is. Hall is thankful for the WWE for keeping him on a Legends contract, as his wrestling career is definitely over and he needs to work hard to make sure he can live out the rest of his life without any complications.
8 AGED WELL: Sting (Then)
"The Icon" Sting has earned his iconic status over the past few years, as he was one of the best things of the peak WCW in the 90s with his rebellious "Crow" gimmick and iconic face-paint and look-up. Sting became very popular towards the beginning of the 90s when he defeated Ric Flair to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship but his goody character was getting boring as the edgy NWO kicked on. His change in persona into a darker, broodier person with the crow theme was a massive hit as he took on the NWO and was an absolute terror to them as his rivalry with the NWO was what kept the ratings up for the WCW and it also established Sting as one of the greats of his era, as his amazing work kept WCW alive in the 90s and kept their product fresh and enticing as well.
7 AGED WELL: Sting (Now)
Sting stuck on with WCW till its absolute death, as he refused to join WWE when a contract was offered and instead went onto join TNA in 2003, as he became THE top guy of TNA soon after and played a huge part in TNA attaining mainstream popularity in the mid 200s as well. He held the Heavyweight title numerous times and helped to put many youngsters over as well, as Sting was the reason on why TNA was competing with WWE in the 2000s, but as soon as things were looking wonky for them and age was catching up with Sting, he left TNA. He shocking signed on with WWE and made a shocking debut in Survivor Series in 2014, later on going onto wrestle Triple H at WrestleMania 31 and some more matches before he was forced to retire from wrestling due to injuries suffered in his last match. Sting is still contracted with the WWE as he still makes various appearances to conventions and events and still looks exactly like he did when he debuted his crow gimmick, as he still looks like he can wrestle anybody at the age of 57 and has maintained a very well toned, healthy figure as his love for wrestling has kept him fit and strong over all these years.
6 AGED BADLY: Bret Hart (Then)
Bret "The Hitman" Hart called himself as the "Best there is, Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be" and deserves that name because of how damn good he was during the 90s where he was the face of the WWE in the mid 90s. Hart was the WWE Champion for most of the 90s as his iconic feud with Shawn Michaels was the talk of the town at the time, as he got screwed by Vince McMahon during the "Montreal Screwjob" and left for WCW. Hart became an instant favorite at WCW, where he also went onto win the WCW Heavyweight Title and also joined the NWO as well. The Hitman had some memorable matches at WCW as well, but the most memorable one(for the wrong reasons) was against Goldberg in which Hart's wrestling career ended when Goldberg hit him with a mule kick to end the career of the Hitman who had an incredible decade cut short in a horrible way.
5 AGED BADLY: Bret Hart (Now)
Hart was forced to retire from in-ring competition because of the injuries sustained in his last matches, as he went onto appear on the Independent circuit in guest appearances before he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006. He'd return to WWE TV in 2010 and reconciled with Shawn Michaels, but went onto feud with Vince McMahon which culminated in a match at WrestleMania XXVI which Hart won. He then continued to wrestle very sporadically and won the US Championship, but Bret looked absolutely horrible as he couldn't wrestle anything like he did back in the days. He currently looks absolutely terrible, mostly because the injuries sustained in the past and a recent cancer having a toll on his body, as he looks very old and weak and has turned into a bitter old man who can only make appearances as a non-wrestler in wrestling events and conventions right now.
4 AGED WELL: Stone Cold Steve Austin (Then)
Stone Cold Steve Austin is one of the definitive superstars in the history of wrestling, as his rebellious nature in WWE not only helped him become of the greatest of all time, but also helped WWE win the Monday Night Wars against WCW. Austin was actually in WCW in a rather weird gimmick before he moved to WWE in the mid 90s, as his amazing work as the Texas Redneck in "Stone Cold" Steve Austin won over everyone and helped WWE win all the ratings as Austin's rebelling against the authority of Mr. McMahon and kicking the ass of his boss forced everyone to watch it. Austin won the WWE title numerous times during this time, as he helped The Attitude Era become arguably the best era in wrestling history and also established himself as the toughest SOB in WWE history.
3 AGED WELL: Stone Cold Steve Austin (Now)
Austin would struggle to keep on the amazing work as the 21st century kicked in, as he wasn't been able to wrestle that freely because of persisting and after being in the main event feuds in the first few years of the new century, he decided to hang up his boots after the WrestleMania XIX match against the Rock which he lost. Austin would still be in the WWE, as he got an authority role of the Sheriff of Raw for a year before he was fired. He has continued to make sporadic appearances in WWE over the years, the most recent being at WrestleMania 32 and has his own podcast which is a big hit as well. Austin might've retired almost 15 years back, but he still looks like a bad-ass and has maintained an amazing shape, as he looks exactly the way he looked when he was at the top of the WWE and the admirable manner in which he has kept his physique perfect despite all his work goes onto show how big of a legend he truly is.
2 AGED BADLY: Lex Luger (Then)
Lex Luger started to get recognition in the 80s when he was very impressive at WCW, but it was when he came to WWE that he was truly recognized by the WWE. Luger was touted to be replacement for Hulk Hogan in the WWE, as he was pushed heavily as he bodyslammed Yokozuna and was originally planned to win the WWE Title from him at SummerSlam 1993 before fan backlash and some foolishness on Luger's part put an end to that. Luger was later left to wrestle some anti-American wrestlers for the rest of his WWE stint, as he would shockingly leave for WCW, much to the anger of Vince McMahon. Luger would be built quite strongly in WCW, as he one of those opposing the NWO and feuded with the stable for much of the course of his stint, before some personal problems got the better of him as the 21s century kicked in.
1 AGED BADLY: Lex Luger (Now)
Luger got quite deep into with his obsessions with drugs, as he became a core drug-addict with the turn of the century and even though he wrestled for TNA after WCW folded up, his personal life was an absolute mess. Luger lived with Miss Elizabeth who was herself a big drug-addict, and when she shockingly passed away due to alcohol intoxication in 2003, he decided to get clean and had to work really hard in order to get rid of his terrorizing drug addiction. He retired from wrestling soon after, as he then went onto return to the WWE in 2011 as he is currently working with WWE on their Wellness Policy and has stated that he doesn't want anyone else to go down the dark path he did and currently looks like a skeleton because of his former drug abuses, as the once muscular man is now a broken, skinny man who is making sure others don't make the same mistakes he did.

NIAC is also known as the Alliance of Nonprofits for Insurance (ANI) in many other states. For the same price of my General Liability and D & O premium with my current insurance carrier I can receive insurance from NIAC/ANI plus receive many amazing free benefits which will save my organization a lot of money!

I really like reading the Chronicle of Philanthropy's Give and Take blog a daily roundup of blogs about the nonprofit world, however I've noticed the folks who write Give and Take tend to write about general sector wide issues or topics that are hot at the moment. That's ok, and many of the posts are very interesting, however I also like reading blogs that provide practical tips and advice for running my nonprofit.
I recently learned that the Dorothy A. Johnson Center for Philanthropy will be hosting a conference called NP2020: Issues and Answers from the Next Generation.
Basically this conference will be a discussion about how to address the leadership deficit that everyone keeps talking about.
The San Francisco Bay Area has a organization called the Northern California Community Loan Fund (NCCLF). NNCLF not only provides building loans to nonprofits, it provides a series of workshops called Facility Fitness.
I chose a career in the nonprofit sector because I wanted to make an impact and help people. I love my work in the nonprofit sector, however recently I have been reading about the amazing work of socially responsible businesses.
Aspiration's Social Source Commons tool maps out what software nonprofits are using and also gives users the ability to see what software their (our) friends and colleagues are using. A while ago I created a toolbox listing what software I use on a daily basis.
However, Social Source Commons just added a new feature called Community Toolboxes which allows users to group together similar tools. Because of this new feature I decided to create some community toolboxes:
Aspiration helps nonprofits and foundations use software tools more effectively and sustainably. We serve as ally, coach, strategist, mentor and facilitator to those trying to make more impactful use of information technology in their social change efforts.

"The First... Paycheck..." (初めての...お給料... "Hajimete no... Okyūryō...") is the fourth episode of the New Game! anime.
Synopsis Edit
After missing the last train, Rin ends up spending the night at the office with Kou, discussing whether their game will succeed and trying out her unique style of sleeping. Later, Aoba receives her first paycheck, wondering what she should buy with it. After hearing what everyone else bought with their first paychecks, Aoba decides to buy a cake to share with her family as thanks for buying her suit.
Plot Edit
Kou scrutinizes Aoba's models and reports her errors, but suggests she continues tomorrow as it is getting late. Rin remarks on her improvement, but Aoba believes she still has a long way to go and heads home with Shizuku. Aoba asks if bringing Mozuku everyday to work is tiring. She replies that it gives her arm a good workout. On their way home, Shizuku asks Aoba's opinion during her first month of working. She finds it fun but keeps getting told to fix issues on her models. She is happy when her models are finally approved, but notes that Kou should not sleep with her panties.
After a while, Kou is alone in the office and takes off her pants, but is discovered by Rin. She explains that she missed the last train, and advises Kou to be more careful. Kou justifies that it feels refreshing, and suggest Rin to strip as well. Rin refuses. She gives Kou a massage and they talk about Kou's habit of sleeping at the office. They later mention the approaching deadline and expect to sleep in the office more often, and wonder if the game will sell well.
Rin states that Kou is strong, making the latter ask if being AD is affecting her. Rin believes that Kou is more suited as the AD, as she is the 'face of the game'. Kou refutes and states that it's because of Rin that she can concentrate on her work. She also states that the environments are also the face of the game, and adds that she does not think that she can lead everyone. They eventually share their opinions of the team. Kou remarks that everything will be fine if Aoba enjoys herself, but notes that she need to be more proactive if she plans to become a character designer. Eventually, they decide to let Aoba design a character after she completes her assigned villagers.
Kou starts working on 3D modelling but stops immediately when the computer froze. She decides to work on character designs instead and bids Rin goodnight. Rin wakes up the next morning and is greeted with Kou in her panties. After putting a blanket over Kou, she tries if being in just underwear is refreshing. Kou wakes up and teases Rin without her pants. Shortly after, Aoba arrives and the two hide underneath the desk. Rin stops Kou from laughing when Aoba says something the latter deems funny. Aoba discovers the two in an awkward position and apologizes.
At this point, a month has passed and Aoba has received her first paycheck stub. Aoba gets flustered, although she expected to get real money. She asks if she deserves all this as she has only worked on villagers. Yun states that she works hard and stays late every night, and deserves a paycheck. Hajime explains to her that she can get a raise on her salary if she performs well at work. She reveals that she received a small raise on her salary, though Yun remarks that she will spend it on toys again. Hajime justifies they are useful reference material, and showcases her collection.
Rin states that wage evaluations happen annually and hopes Aoba will receive a raise too. She also explains that she and Kou handle evaluations for the character team. Hajime comments that the character team has it rough as Yagami is strict about work. Aoba asks why Hajime is in their booth when she is a member of the animation team. Rin explains that the animation team's booth is full, so Hajime was placed next door, i.e the character team's booth.
Rin then asks how Aoba will spend her paycheck. Hajime plans to buy more figurines while Yun wants to buy some clothes. Shizuku shows up, and is asked what she did with her first paycheck. She claims to have forgotten as it has been so long, leading to Hajime asking her age. Umiko arrives and threatens to reveal Shizuku's age unless she continues her work. Continuing their conversation, Aoba goes for a practical choice and keeps it in her savings. She asks Rin how she spent her paycheck, which piqued Kou's curiosity. She replies that she spent it on a hot springs trip with Kou, and is upset that she forgot about it.
Yun asks if Aoba feels lonely, as no one started at the same time as her. She replies that it is not bothering her, as it does not feel like her seniors are older than her. Yun and Hajime claim that they act childish so Aoba can interact easily with them, though Rin is unconvinced. Aoba asks Hifumi if she started working with someone. She replies that there was someone from another team, but it did not bother her as they do not talk often. Kou asks what she spent her first paycheck with. Hifumi revealed she spent it on a cosplay outfit, but refuses to share a picture.
Rin states that while keeping their paycheck in the bank is a valid option, she thinks it would be nice to use it on something they will remember. While settling on what to do with her paycheck, she remembers that her parent bought her suit, which was rather expensive. She decides to buy a cake and shares it with her parents to celebrate her first paycheck.
Later, Kou asks if Rin is still upset that she forgot about their trip, and offers to go to spa. Kou did this because she believed being an AD is taking a toll on Rin, and hopes the spa will relieve her. She then asks if Rin gained weight, causing Rin to hit her.

#WTF: About the last 48 hours ... Can I get a rundown? (hookers, hotties, & The Hard Rock)
We interrupt this post to bring you a sex tip PSA from our friends over at LuckyBloke.com: 35% of men require a slimfit or more tailored condom | 50% of men require a medium or "standard" condom | 15% of men require a larger condom.
It's not very often I am left speechless. I, in fact, make a life off of the fact that I am never speechless. This post, however, might be hands down one of the wildest adventures of my life. I genuinely only thought things like this happened in super cheesy romantic comedies ... but oh no, this was just my Saturday night - Monday.
Here's the song that goes with the post ...
Picture it. Comic Con ... two weeks ago. I was at the Machinma party waiting for @meowmistidawn and co. to come back from their adventures. I was there early by myself so I was just excited to have a place to sit down and a cold beer in my hand to unwind from the activities. See, I am not the biggest fan of conventions. Yes it is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to meet more of you, but the crowds COMPLETELY freak me out. (Read more here)
Either way, I was sitting and over in the corner of my eye I see this man and woman standing together. The guy then walks right up to me introducing himself.
Hi, I say adjusting my dress thinking I'm meeting a reader of the site.
I just had to to meet you, he says.
Thanks for reading, I quickly reply back It really really means a lot to me.
He looks puzzled.
Reading what?
My website. Wait, are you not a reader of it, or social media buddy? I'm confused.
No, he said. I just saw you sitting here and I needed to meet you.
I start laughing. Way to be "one of those" Friel. Keep humble you bumble.
Well hi, I reply back. I'm Jen.
Hi, he says, I'm Antonio. (Names changed to protect the guilty)
Are you enjoying your comic con, I ask.
Yes, I'm just here with my friend who is a producer - but the parties have been fun. What about you?
Great! I said, except I can barely speak above a whisper since I've already lost my voice.
I then excuse myself to go up to the bar as he goes back to talk to his friend for a minute.
When I come back, he walks back over.
I need to know you. I need to talk to you, he says kneeling at my feet.
Sure, I say back. What would you like to know?
What do you do?
I'm a lifecaster. I started my own website almost 3 years ago. It's about nerds so the con is obvi mecca. What do you do?
I'm a lawyer.
Is it your passion, I ask?
I've been doing it so long, he replies back, but yes I enjoy it tremendously.
That's great!
More of my friends then start to show up, so Antonio backed off a bit letting everyone come up and say hi.
Then a few minutes later we moved to the other side of the room to cop a squat on the couch.
I look around and don't see him.
That was one of the strangest interactions I've ever had with someone, I thought. He was so direct, it was powerful.
About 10 minutes later his friend approaches sitting down next to me. We strike up a chat but she indicates that they are leaving.
Antonio then gets on his knees again and says, I want to see you again. I NEED to see you again.
Impressed with his radical honesty I give him my number.
Here, let me call you.
I really would like to take you out next Saturday night on an official date.
If you want to take me out, I replied back, you have my number. My work here is done.
He smiles getting up from his knees and leaves with his friend.
I turn to my roomie (who was sitting next to me on the couch) and say that was one of the most interesting interactions I think I've ever had. He was so demanding and forceful ... yet his eyes were incredibly sweet and kind. Very fucking weird.
We then kick it for a bit longer and head back to Melodie's house (where we were staying) and leave the con in the morning.
I was unbelievably exhausted from the weekend's events, so when we arrived back I passed out on the couch. An hour into my nap I hear my text message indicator go off.
I look down .... it is Antonio.
Do you write about dates? he asks.
Oh shit, I think laughing - this isn't going to end well.
I type back ...
Dating is a part of what I document, yes, but it is also a lot more than that. (I then went into my entire spiel)
It is popular, he said. I've been talking to people about you all morning and everyone knows you.
Yes, I said, because you are on my turf. IT'S FREAKING COMIC CON!!!!
I'm very private, he says. I don't think this is going to work.
Having just dealt with the Finance Guy a few months back - this was the last thing I needed to hear. I get it, I get it, I thought. Hence why I am still single.
I didn't say anything back to him, but a few days later I get a text back saying that he wants to see me again.
Saturday, Katana, he said.
Done! 8pm I reply back.
Saturday comes around, and at 8 on the dot I see a town car pull up in front of our apartment.
Julie! Julie, I say. Come look, I think my date picked me up in a town car.
Holy shit, she says coming out of the bathroom still in a towel.
It had less to do with the financial component and more to do with the strategic planning. I like to drink, and if I'm going out with someone and they go toe to toe with me drinking there is no way in HELL I am going to get in the car with them. This means that a guy is usually cut off after two drinks; the fact that he was smart enough to plan all of this ahead was a MASSIVE turn on.
I walk down to the car and he hugs me introducing me to his driver.
Hello, I reply back trying to walk around the car to shake his hand.
I then get in the car and Antonio grabs my hand staring at me.
You're quite pretty, he said. You were wearing the hat so I couldn't see you really ... but wow. You're model pretty.
Thank you, I say. The hat is called a spirithood and it is one of my favorite things ever.
The driver then turns up the radio and I start seat dancing.
I love love love this song, I reply back.
He laughs saying, I thought you would. It's pop - you seem to be into pop.
Oh absolutely, I reply back.
We then get to Katana and enjoy a drink before our dinner.
I've never been here, I reply.
How have you never been here? Isn't this like THE place to take a date?
I date a lot, but I don't normally let guys take me to dinner. It's WAY too much of a time commitment on my end. I have to know I'm going to be into someone to want to spend that kind of time or energy on them.
He smiles as we are seated.
(Dudes the sushi at Katana is HANDS DOWN the best that I've ever had. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!)
Conversation at dinner flows freely, but at around 10 I ask if we can go to the next location.
It was my roommate's birthday this week and she has a party. Do you mind if we stop off there?
Sure, he says back.
I was a little nervous about bringing a "date" to her party since knowing so many people can DEFINITELY be overwhelming for a guy - but I figured, if not now ... when? Might as well just see how he does.
We get to the party and I start introducing him to everyone. He seems to handle it pretty well, but I made sure to keep my eye on him to not make him feel left out with everyone.
He grabs me another drink as I sit down.
How's it going everyone asks?
It's great!! He's super smart and super easy to talk to. I feel really comfortable around him.
Antonio then hands me my drink as he sits down next to me.
I joked with the driver tonight that I wanted to take you to Vegas.
Alrite, I say back not even batting an eye.
Wait, you would let me put you on a plane?
Why not? I say back. I just need to stop home and grab my Macbook - but I can work from anywhere. (Special thanks to ReaniMac for the Macbook!! Story on how small of a tech world it is in a later post.)
If we go back to your place I want you to only grab your computer, he said. Nothing else.
Alrite, I say back.
He then calls the driver back and gets on his phone arranging the flight.
We pull up to my apartment and I run upstairs grabbing only my CES bag, my macbook, and an iphone charger.
YAY ADVENTURE, I think.
<tangent> Normally, btw, I would ABSOLUTELY not recommend anyone doing something like this unless they have friends, or family in the area. You never know if a guy could honestly be kidnapping you - however, after couch surfing for exactly 1 year I literally have friends all over. I've BEEN stuck in Vegas before and not only managed to get transportation back, but a ride to and from with a place to stay. I know a TON of people in Vegas so should anything go awry I would have been fine. Emphasis on the "I" as "he" would not have been fine if he tried anything funny. </tangent>
I then get back in the car and he tells me that we have 8 hours until the flight.
Let's go to my house in Venice. We can keep drinking and chatting.
We then pull up to this MASSIVELY stunning house a few blocks away from the beach.
You live ... here? I ask.
Kind of, he says. I don't have a "true" residence, but when I am in LA this is where I live. I've had the home for quite some time.
I look back at him thinking, who the fuck is this guy? He very honestly wasn't trying to "buy" me unlike the guy from a few months ago. This is just genuinely his life and absolutely NONE of this felt out of the ordinary to him.
We then opened up a bottle of champagne as he showed me all of the art work in his house.
(You can judge a guy by his taste in art, and wow wow wow did he have awesome taste.)
See this table, he pointed to. It's made of metal. Women kept dancing on it and every time I would come home to a collapsed table so instead I had the artist make it indestructible.
He said the entire thing so casually I almost spit out my champagne.
Wait, you would come home to collapsed tables from girls dancing on them??
Yes, I can't say I was a fan - but it happened.
Again, so casual, so matter of fact ... I couldn't stop laughing. Wow, you lead a very charmed life, I say still chuckling.
We have a few more hours, he said. Why don't you take the master bedroom and I'll sleep in the guest room.
That'd be wonderful, I say.
I then take out my charger and set my alarm for 6:30 am giving us plenty of time to get to the airport.
Within seconds of my head hitting the pillow I passed out. Having grown up near the ocean (we had a summer/ weekend condo in Maine) the SECOND I am around ocean air I am INSTANTLY calm and out like a light.
My alarm then goes off a few hours later, and I wake up Antonio.
Are you ready, I say knocking on his door?
He smiles, saying yes! I'm not even bringing clothes either. We'll just buy everything there.
I laugh thinking how RIDICULOUS this all seemed to me.
This stuff only happens in movies, I thought. I can't believe this is currently my reality.
Every move Antonio made was so strategic. He's good ... DAMN GOOD ... at courtship. He was extremely attentive without being overwhelming, and the sense of adventure that my personality responds to so much was UNBELIEVABLY elated for the experience.
We then head over to the airport stopping off at Starbucks first before boarding the plane.
I'll have a venti non fat caramel macchiato, I say.
Is that your drink, he asks?
Yep! I say. Depends on the weather if I get it iced or not - but it's my super duper fav.
He smiles handing me back the change which I put in my backpack.
We then get to Vegas and head over to the Hard Rock.
We can go to their pool party they have today. Does that work for you?
Of course, I say laughing. I think everything is going to "work for me" at this point. We're IN FREAKING VEGAS!!!!!
We then pull up to the Hard Rock, and go up to the front desk.
Two rooms, he says. Adjoining if you have them.
I look over at him and smile. He automatically didn't assume that we were going to get a room together. That's extremely respectful.
Again, well played.
Thank you for the second room, I say.
Oh please, all women need their space - especially someone like you.
I smile as he hands me the room key.
Now, let's get some clothing.
We then head over to the Hard Rock hotel store and pick out bathing suits. I also grab a beach cover up, sandals, and hat not wanting to burn.
I then go into the restroom to change.
This is one of the wildest things I've ever done, I thought. Who just goes to Vegas without any clothing and says, meh - we'll figure it out when we get there. Who is this guy? And why do I feel so comfortable around him?
We then head over to the Rehab party at the Hard Rock. Dudes, not only do they literally pat you down before you get in worse than the TSA ... but holy hell that place was PACKED!!!!
We fortunately managed to grab a seat in the shade close enough to the pool so I could dip my feet in.
As I laid there basking in the environment I then realized how much I needed this trip.
I had a really rough week, I said to Antonio. I'm extremely grateful for this experience.
He smiles saying, no more thank yous until we are done.
Deal! I say.
I then excuse myself to the restroom as Antonio goes over and buys us some drinks.
While standing in line for the restroom (which was surprisingly short considering how many people were in the pool. QUIT PEEING IN THE WATER PEOPLE!!!), I see a girl pretending to do a field sobriety test.
She's making everyone in line laugh as I just sort of stare off into space.
As she walks out she stops me and says, "I would turn gay to have sex with you. You're really beautiful."
I absolutely BURST out in laughter. Well played, Vegas. Well ... played ...
She then leaves and a few minutes later I follow heading back to our spot by the pool.
As I walk over, I see Antonio talking to a security guard.
He then points over to me. I stare back not really thinking of anything.
Antonio then approaches.
I just had a very strange life experience, I said. This woman in the restroom just stopped me to tell me that she'd turn gay to have sex with me. Oh Vegas! I say laughing.
He then turns and says, you won't believe what that security guard just said to me.
What? I say.
He said people were inquiring if we were together.
What does that mean? I ask.
He wanted to sell me drugs and women. He said people were asking what our status was.
Does this happen to you often, I reply back.
No, but I could tell that there were a lot of working girls here. It's one thing to check out a girl at the pool, it's another to see them checking you out right back. The women here are paying very close attention to us.
That makes sense though considering how much we just got checked for bringing anything in. (They LITERALLY stop short of a strip search.) This is prolly part of their business model - keep drugs out, but have security and attendants sell it to you at a higher premium. It makes sense, I say.
Antonio smiles and shortly later we decide to head upstairs not wanting to die from the heat.
I then quickly had to get on two phone calls for meetings that I had to cancel. Everyone was laughing when I told them I was in Vegas.
Only you Jen ... only you.
Even for me though, this is pretty freaking wild!!
We then head out to an extremely nice steak dinner over at the Wynn. MMMMMMM the oysters were the bomb diggity pershnickerty.
You're very regal, he says over dinner. You carry yourself like a queen. Your parents raised you very well.
I smile saying thank you, but secretly laugh to myself thinking that had nothing to do with my parents and everything to being a Domme. See, allowing slaves to literally worship you is not easy for a girl (especially one with feelings of residual shame). I have 5 slaves currently, and while being a Domme came INCREDIBLY naturally to me - allowing a man to bask in your glory is a foreign feeling. I'm used to being EXTREMELY independent and always doing things on my own barely letting men get close to me. To now project this confidence, and this "queen like" stature was a tremendous sign of growth.
YAY FOR BEING A DOMME!!! I knew this would come in handy one day!!!!
We then walked the strip bouncing around to a bunch of bars. Somewhere around midnight we ended up at Caesars.
Let's head back, I said. I'm quite tired from this day.
Sure, he said. I'm having a lot of fun with you.
Thank you, I say with a smile. Me too!!
We then walk out to the front and the taxi line was SO FREAKING LONG.
Without even blinking, Antonio shouts to the limo drivers, "I have $25. Who wants to take us to the Hard Rock?"
Immediately a stretch limo driver waves his hand and just like that we had a ride back without having to wait in line.
I can't even articulate how sexy it was that he was so on point. Normally when it comes to dating I'm the one that has to figure things out so for a guy to take so much of the lead and be SO FREAKING EFFICIENT in the process was SUCH a turn on.
We then head back to our rooms, and Antonio kisses me good night for the evening.
And not like the 8th grade making out, end of the world type kiss ... this was sweet. Completely innocent, and a perfect ending to the day.
I wake up sometime around 9 the next morning and I laugh that this is my life. How am I in Vegas right now in this massive suite all to myself with a gorgeous guy on the other side of that door that is treating me with so much respect and dignity.
<tangenet> See, women think that men give them their value when it is in fact the opposite. A woman decides how she presents herself to a man and the man then responds by the signals she is sending out. I couldn't be bought by Antonio, and he knew that. Yes, I accepted this adventure, but I ABSOLUTELY wasn't going to just sleep with him because of it. I am at a different stage in my life right now and seeking more. The way he was treating me was directly in line with what I was projecting. </tangent>
A few minutes into being awake I hear a knock at the adjoining door.
Antonio approaches laughing questioning the etiquette of "the other side of the door." Do I just knock and enter?
Here, he says, handing me a cup of coffee in bed.
As quickly as he entered he left. Take your time waking up, I've asked for a later check out time giving us enough time to collect ourselves.
I then took look at the coffee cup in complete shock.
Did my date really just bring me coffee in bed?
I take a sip.
HOLY SHIT!! It's a caramel macchiato!! He remembered my order!!
I smile as I continue to sip.
I'm not at ALL a morning person. If I'm just waking up you have to give me at least an hour to putz around and collect myself before ever talking to me.
The fact that he picked up on that intuitively surprised me.
This is a first, I thought.
After a little bit, we then both got ourselves together and headed over to see the sharks at the Mandalay Bay. I'm SUPER passionate about photography so getting to snap pics of the majestic creatures made me really happy.
We then toured all through the casinos making it all the way down into Caesars by late afternoon. The conversation flowed so freely with him, and between the sights and sounds - everything was so consuming.
Let's sit and grab a drink, said Antonio.
We then found an open bar at Caesars and continued talking.
I'd really like to see you again, he said.
I'd like to see you again too, I replied.
Can I ask you something though since you seem to be radically honest?
Shoot, he said.
Am I an ice queen?
Ice queen?
Yeah, guys that I've dated have told me over and over that on our first date I seem so shut off and cold. I was curious if energetically you picked up on that at all.
He laughs saying see that pilar over there? That is you. You are steel and you are a pilar. Guys can come by and knock on you to see if anyone is home, but you are in control and you are very focused on your business and what you are doing with it. I don't even have conversations with women like the ones I've been having with you. You're very smart, and men are just lucky if you allow them to amuse you.
I almost teared up when he said that because it was so eloquently put and so honest; Antonio's eyes could never tell a lie.
I really appreciate that, I reply back. I don't mean to be this way, I've been doing so much personal work in the last year.
It shows, he calmly replied.
We then grabbed some dinner at the airport and headed back home to LA.
I don't want to leave, I said as he grabbed two cabs.
He hugged me handing me a wad of cash. Don't be stingy with the driver, he said. I'll call you later.
AAAANNNNNNDDD just like that the best date of my life ended. I'm not even sure what to think, feel, or anything right now. Everything about that date was so effortless and so appeasing to my personality. I know obviously any guy can read up on me and figure that out - but everything with him was so organic and natural. He's already UBER successful and women are just as intimidated of his status as men are of my popularity.
Maybe this could work I thought on the cab ride back. MAAAAYYYBBBBEEEEEEEEE

WikiLeaks says Coinbase has suspended it from using the cryptocurrency firm's payments service.
Coinbase offers a feature that lets online shops accept cryptocurrencies as payments. WikiLeaks, which publishes confidential documents, also sells items such as T-shirts and posters, allowing people to pay in bitcoin.
WikiLeaks posted a tweet over the weekend showing a message it had received from Coinbase. The cryptocurrency firm said WikiLeaks was "in violation" of its terms of service, but did not specify why.
Coinbase was not immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC on Monday.
WikiLeaks tweeted that it would "call for a global blockade of Coinbase" because it is "an unfit member of the crypto community."
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been a big supporter of bitcoin. He claimed in October that WikiLeaks made a 50,000 percent returnby investing in bitcoin in 2010. WikiLeaks has had a rocky history with payment processors such as Mastercard and Visa.

'Phantom' D'Ambrosio in knockout solo show
The Phantom has been unmasked and is revealed to be a terrifically gifted singer with a range far beyond what he exhibited onstage at the Curran Theatre for four years.
Franc D'Ambrosio, the second guy to play the title role during the five-year run of "Phantom of the Opera," says he actually got the part by auditioning for "Miss Saigon" years ago. He tells the story between numbers in "Franc D'Ambrosio's Broadway," his knockout solo show that opened its three-week run Sunday at the New Conservatory Theatre Center.
Those who heard D'Ambrosio during his "Phantom" run know he's a great singer, as do those who have heard his CD, which forms the core of his show. But the reality is that being good onstage doesn't always translate well to more intimate settings -- especially when your song list includes such fortissimo stage hits as "If My Friends Could See Me Now," "The Impossible Dream," "Hello, Dolly!" "Razzle Dazzle" and "Almost Like Being in Love."
D'Ambrosio not only has a voice as comfortable in lower octaves as it is in high, sweetly spun tenor notes, it's also a big voice. Although the Decker Theatre at New Conservatory is considerably more intimate than the Curran, D'Ambrosio doesn't pull any vocal punches. At the same time, at a preview performance last week, he was able to weave delicate nuance throughout the music.
Accompanied by Chuck Larkin on piano, D'Ambrosio spent nearly two hours celebrating Broadway and telling the audience about his own life and his early love for music. A handsome galoot with a chiseled jaw, close-cropped blond hair and mischievous blue eyes, D'Ambrosio tells the audience that he was born to a very traditional Italian family in the Bronx. He later studied with Pavarotti in Italy, made his Broadway debut in "Sweeney Todd" and played the role of Anthony Vito Corleone in "The Godfather: Part III," where his charming Tony Curtis-like Bronx accent served him well.
Although he's been doing his show for more than two years, D'Ambrosio manages to make it seem entirely fresh. Each song is delivered with infectious energy and the between-number patter, while scripted, feels like a conversation with an old friend. D'Ambrosio wisely keeps the emphasis on the songs and the chat to a minimum. From very old classics such as "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody" from "The Ziegfeld Follies of 1919," to "Bring Him Home" from "Les Miserables," D'Ambrosio makes his audience believe he's just discovered each song and can't wait to sing them for you. He even manages to convince us, with "This Is the Moment," that perhaps "Jekyll and Hyde" shouldn't be entirely damned to showbiz hell for all eternity.
Inevitably, the show's climax is the medley from "The Phantom," and despite the fact that he won the title of the world's longest-running Phantom by donning that mask and cape more than 2,600 times, D'Ambrosio sends chills with "Music of the Night," proving that he could probably go on playing the Phantom forever. But isn't it nice that he's got so much more he can do?
Franc DAmbrosios Broadway: 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday (Through April 23. Decker Theatre, New Conservatory Theatre Center, 25 Van Ness Ave., San Francisco. Tickets: $20-$30. Call 415) 861-8972 or visit www.nctcsf.org .)

In this training we concentrate on inRiver as an idea. Consultants can generally appear to be interlopers who tell all people what they're doing flawed. Listed here are six frameworks that consultants and business analysts use, and that you just may contemplate including to your own set of tools. Expertise and methodological experience in process consulting and configuration of business processes are the base of our work. Developed by Michael E. Porter, Bishop William Lawrence University Professor at Harvard Business College, Porter's five forces is a framework for trade evaluation that's used as an input to a strategic plan.
Included with this course is a free and full business model for performing native SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION companies for shoppers. A new study by Direct Line for Business has revealed that poor skilled recommendation from third events or consultants has resulted in one in six small and micro-businesses losing money. Affect the growth of our management consulting practice as a Marketing consultant. You will also want wonderful communication and other people skills-you may be going into the company as an outsider, which can be good or bad, relying on the interpersonal culture of the company.
Whether yours is a fledgling business or a longtime one, a qualified business advisor could be simply what it's essential to tighten up your processes, improve company culture, increase sales, prepare leadership or staff, and increase your backside line. Your advisor should empathize with you on certain terms and supply what your business really wants. Consulting really flows along a continuum of services you are able to supply a client over time.
Companies that do the business management challenge effectively make numerous money.
Business Consultants are considered the spearheads of our organisation.

Blueprint Columbus: Clintonville, Linden, Hilltop Areas
Columbus, OH
The City of Columbus, Ohio is currently undergoing an Integrated Solutions Planning approach to refocus some of its previous Wet Weather Management Plan objectives and more aggressively pursue solutions that include public and private inflow and infiltration mitigation within the sanitary sewer system. This includes stormwater mitigation improvements using green infrastructure to specifically address conditions that contribute to overflows from the sanitary sewer system. EMH&T completed the study of several residential areas to evaluate opportunities to redirect rooftop downspouts away from structures and to the public right-of-way. This effort included CCTV investigations of the storm system and sanitary laterals to determine their physical condition and the amount of stormwater runoff getting into the sanitary sewer system. Using this information, EMH&T developed structure-by-structure plans for downspout redirection and applied creative stormwater solutions to address the Rainfall Derived Inflow and Infiltration (RDII) that is impacting the capacity of the separate sanitary sewer system.

Community backlash against ESL for Katowice Major schedule
Photo courtesy of ESL
ESL has once again found themselves facing community backlash, this time due to the ESL One Katowice Major schedule released.
Update: ESL has responded on reddit promising to look into some options to ease the frustrations of fans and improve the experience for fans attending.
The organization released details regarding their schedule a few days ago when the groups had been drawn. At that time, few people seemed to either realize or bring to the forefront that the playoffs would be held only over a period of two days, including one (of two) quarter final matches and the two semi finals happening on the first day and the grand finals taking place on the last day. As with previous events, the group stage would not be held on the main stage at Spodek Arena.
Today, fans and personalities have taken to social media and reddit to express their frustration with the information. Many of the complaints come regarding the cost to travel, accomodations and ticket prices for only two days worth of matches. Tickets were released for sale on January 30th and as of five days ago 90% of the premium tickets were already sold at the cost of approximately $117.00. Weekend passes cost approximately $29.25 and while there is a free option for fans to attend, it does not include signing sessions, is a late entry of two hours after ticket buyers and entry is via long waiting line for any available seats.
Although ESL One Genting did have a group stage viewing option for fans, nothing has been announced yet for ESL One Katowice.
As previously announced, all of ESL One's Pro Circuit events would be following the same format with the same number of participating teams. ESL One Genting format was the same as ESL One Katowice, however it took place over the course of six days, with the playoffs being held from January 26-28th including one full day of quarter finals, one full day of semi finals and the grand finals being held on the last day. With one day less, ESL has condensed the playoff portion into only two days.
Previous backlash over streaming
The is not the first time in recent months that ESL has received backlash from the community. The first was several weeks ago when the organization announced their exclusive streaming deal with Facebook for all of the Pro Circuit events. At that time many lashed out for the 'poor choice' of streaming platform that was expected to have some problems and cut out much of the viewer experience.
It was barely the choice of platform that caused ESL the most problems however, as they then started to ban and remove any stream outside of their official broadcast. Henrik "AdmiralBulldog" Ahnberg, Peter "ppd" Dager, Brian "BananaSlamJamma" Canavan, MLP Dota and Rawdota TV were among those that were shut down and ESL issued a statement on their interpretation of a previous statement issued by Valve on independent streamers broadcasting games from the client.
Shortly later, Valve stepped in to clarify their stance on the debacle essentially reiterating that it will be allowed and "It'll be our judgment alone on who violates this guideline and not any other third party's."
ESL then issued an apology to fans on reddit:
We were wrong in how we kicked off streaming on Facebook and we were wrong in handling the follow-up with the community, the communication here and the DMCAs which we have since retracted.
The introduction of Facebook as our new broadcast platform did not go as it should have. Instead of focusing on ironing out the kinks, engaging in the right kind of dialogue with you and incorporating your legitimate feedback we were busy following protocol and defending our actions. We should have simply let the community streamers do their thing while focusing on getting our end right. Regardless of having or not having the right to do so, taking down streamers that provide a good experience while we aren't is not the way to go about things.
We were in the wrong. We will learn from it and go forward."
ESL One Katowice Major
The ESL One Katowice Major will take place on February 20-25 at the Spodek Arena in Katowice, Poland with a total of 16 teams entering the battle for the $1,000,000 prize pool and 1500 TI8 qualifying points.
ESL One Katowice Major teams:
Team Secret
Team Liquid
Evil Geniuses
Vici Gaming
Natus Vincere
Team Kinguin

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Yogurt Dressing
- Sweet Potato Fries
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1½ teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon fine salt, or more to taste
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced ¼-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Yogurt Dressing
- ½ cup Greek-style yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400°F (210°C).
- Mix the garlic powder, paprika, pepper, and salt.
- Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil in a bowl. Sprinkle garlic powder mixture over the potato slices and toss to coat.
- Spread potatoes onto a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast in preheated oven until golden brown and crisp on top, 15 to 18 minutes. Turn the potatoes and continue baking until completely browned, 15 to 18 minutes more.
- Mix yogurt, olive oil, parsley, vinegar, and garlic together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve with the sweet potato fries.
The yogurt dressing is very versatile: make a double batch and serve it with roast chicken, on top of spiced lamb or turkey burgers, or with over-easy eggs and toasted pita bread for a savory breakfast. The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to five days.

What others are saying
Aja A says:
What a guilt-free treat! I could snack on these all day. This is one of the only ways I like to eat sweet potatoes and the dressing perfectly compliments the fries. You can probably bake a big batch of these and freeze them for later, but they haven't been able to last long enough for me to do that.
Katie Hason says:
I can never get my sweet potatoes fries just right, they always usually turn out soggy. For some reason, this recipe just works. Maybe it's the olive oil. Either way, these are a new favorite.

Google Wireless….IF You Have the Right PhonePosted: March 8, 2015 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Apple Watch, Cellular, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Google, Powermat, Reserve Strap, Samsung, WiFi, Wireless, Wireless charging Leave a comment
Google may kick off it's rumored wireless service as soon as the end of the month. Bgr.com says the system will switch from Wi-Fi to cellular like any other, but there's one HUGE drawback…it will only be available initially on the latest Nexus 6 smartphone. No price point has been revealed, but expect it to be very competitive…with the usual caveat that you'll give up a bit more privacy to Google if you sign up!
We know Samsung is including wireless charging in the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. Now, the CEO of Powermat, says their wireless charging standard will come baked in to all future Samsung smartphones that feature wireless charging. CNET.com reports that Samsung is also including the wireless standard from the Wireless Power Consortium for now. Powermat is what you see at Starbucks.
One of the big concerns of smart watches is battery life, and that goes for the Apple Watch to be hitting wrists next month. According to 9to5mac.com, The Reserve Strap will come to the rescue…recharging the watch as you wear it. It will extend the battery life to 125% of normal, and preorders are open now on their website…but it's $249…just a hundred less than the actual Apple Watch!

Mercedes-Benz has finally unveiled the make form of its first proper pickup, the X-Class.
The long-gestating midsize truck the product of a joint enterprise with Nissan and based on the Japanese automakers Navara pickup. The Germans take looks very much like a Mercedes, however, from the forms of its grille to its interior design.
With a starting price of around $40,000 in Germany, its too a very luxed-up try. Mercedes announces it the first getaway from a premium producer, which is a little bit of a extend considering Lincoln and Cadillac have both had gives in the segment , not to mention the fact that you can easily waste over $70,000 on a high tech, leather-lined Ford, Chevy or Ram today.
Nevertheless, "its by" dressy for a midsize pickup and will be offered with a index of electronic refuge features that includes emergency braking and lane-keeping assist. A stray of four diesel and gasoline instruments will be available, the most potent one a 258 hp gasoline V6.
Built with a conventional body-on-frame construction and a live rear axle, the X-Class use coil springs front and rear like a Ram 1500. Its four-wheel-drive structure has a low-toned wander move case and a locking rear differential is optional for added traction. Mercedes alleges its maximum payload and tow ratings are 2,200 pounds and 7,000 pounds, respectively.
Aside from its programme, one very important thing that the X-Class has in common with the Navara is that it will be sold just about everywhere but the United States. In its present form, it wasnt engineered to meet safety standards here. It would also be subject to a 25 percentage importation excise, unless Mercedes started building it here, where it doesnt think theres a big enough marketplace for a high-end tiny truck.
At least not yet.

Morbidity-Pits Of Eternal Torment DEMO
Death metal is spawning from every single hole, every crypt it can find and fit in, and finding some old school death from Bangladesh was no huge surprise to me. Singer Defiler of Morbidity contacted me and I received this monster of a demo, totally by luck. What I love about certain new death metal bands is that they keep the main essence of old school purity in themselves and project that unto the listener in the most ghastly, most horrifying way, and Morbidity is no exception in this concept. Just take a look at the cover art. It's raw, it's grim, it's morbid - it's what old school is all about. What's more that while scores of bands worship either Autopsy/Incantation, and many others emit that groovy thrashiness of Swedish death metal, Morbidity sink even lower than these bands, exhaling some utterly grotesque, indecipherable death metal that may bring acts like Nunslaughter or early Morbid Angel to mind.
As I said, the cover reflects what the album is in the most vivid way, a morbid death metal ghoul with shackles strapped to its arms, screaming, suffering, urging to devour and contaminate. Unless your ears are well hardened for this sort of distorted production quality, I advise you listen to something rather raw before you listen to this, as every aspect of ''Pits Of Eternal Torment'' is raw and unpolished, the way it ought to be. The riffs are thunderous and even groovy for some reason, and the the rapid current of vicious death metal never culminates, thus attaining great speed and velocity and at all times. The introduction track ''Morbidity'' kick the album off in a fast, thunderous and vicious manner, and thus the main material and essence of the demo is born right from the start. Although Morbidity is not primarily influenced by Swedish death metal, there is very thick and noticeable odor in the air that undeniably reeks of old school Swedish death metal. The deliverance of the riffs are also super sharp despite the muffled, distorting production quality engulfing it, there is a totally sinister, brooding atmosphere encircling the riffs that work they way through the thickest, most inundating sections of the atmosphere by cutting through it. The only complaint I can think of is that the demo is far too short to enjoy to the fullest, and the hopefully the arrival of a debut album.
Being so sharp and agile has scarcely sounded so downright evil and chaotic, and the modern old school Swedeath monsters Tribulation instantly come to mind, only they had a better production and thrashier riffs. The main basis of that evil sound that I praise so much comes from the chaotic riffing, the mangled production and the cavernous growls of the vocals, all three elements that are actually quite simple, but sound ultimately callous and evil once they collide and Morbidity even put a Nunslaughter cover song to indicate that they were influenced by such acts. Creative riffs with a substantial amount of groove, the sheer grisliness of the music which make your blood curdle and an excellent, sturdy delivery showing the band thrives in the art that they produce, the art of archaic death metal, lost and buried within centuries of mainstream insults and mockeries, yet know the night has returned and the caskets have cracked. The grave is readying itself, readying armies of monstrous ghouls and macabre entities that will soon awaken from their dreams and rise from their cemetery to besiege Earth and all things good and positive. Morbidity will most definitely take part in this most gruesome incursion, and lead the assault from the front line. Well done gentlemen, well done.
Let There Be Chaos
Pits Of Eternal Torment
