Stumped on product creation?
Have a rough idea bouncing around in your head but not sure what information should be included?
Try this simple method for product ideas, getting through the outline process and final creation.
The way it works is when you have a general product idea in mind you sit down and create the sales letter before you make the actual product. I know you're thinking this process is backwards from the norm, but I promise you, it's okay!
This can really work wonders when you're stuck at the beginning phases of creating a product and can't find the momentum to get started.
Your sales page will help you flesh out a product as you think of the problems your new item can help solve. It will also act as a very handy product blueprint. Since you haven't actually made the item, you are free to put in anything you believe will make it an outstanding value to your customers.
Don't overly stress over the process. Don't try to make it perfect.. just get things to a point where you can now start fleshing out your info product following the sales letter.
You can use each of your bullet points as topics or chapters to be expanded upon when you do the actual product creation. Remember that you will not be bound by the sales page you make. You can change the features of your product just by modifying the sales page. Your blueprint will then be ready to guide you through step by step till the end.
Here's another tip:
Get the sales letter up with a subscription form instead of a buy button and send traffic to it from your existing list or through another source such as PPC.
Tell your visitors this particular product is pending release and if they are interested they can subscribe to an early bird alert list. To sweeten the deal offer them a special discount for signing up.
And one more powerful tip:
You may want to make the form extra informative by adding a feedback box where they can leave content ideas. A simple line such as "What information would you like to see included in this product?" can help you further refine the final deal.
If they're truly interested they will subscribe to the notification list for the product release. If you get no interest then you'll know not to pursue that particular project.
I wouldn't suggest you use this for everything you do, but it does have its place. It can give you direction and very valuable feedback when needed.
There may be times when you get a small amount of signups, but not enough to warrant continuing with your idea. If this happens, do not leave those who signed up hanging in the wind. Send them a thank you email and a special gift for their time and feedback. This makes the experience a win-win deal for them and you.

When it comes to testing on agile projects it is common practice for agile teams to adopt a "whole team testing" approach where the team itself does its own testing. To accomplish this agile teams will often embed testers in the development team. Programmers will work closely with the testers, often via non-solo development strategies such as pair programming, to pick up their valuable testing skills. The testers will in turn pick up new skills from the programmers, and in effect both groups will move away from being just specialists (testers or programmers) to being what's called generalizing specialists. Whole team testing can be very different from traditional approaches where programmers may do some testing, often unit testing of their own code, and then throw it over the wall to testers and quality assurance (QA) professionals for verification and validation.
My experience is that whole team testing is a very effective strategy, that agile testing and quality strategies in general appear to be far more effective than traditional testing and quality strategies, but that whole team testing isn't the full agile testing picture. At scale, particularly in complex domains, complex technical situations, or in regulatory compliance situations, Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) teams will extend whole team testing with a parallel independent test team. Although the development team still does the majority of the testing, the independent test team which is working in parallel to the development team looks for problems which are harder or more difficult for the development team to find and then reports potential defects back to the development team.
The types of testing that the parallel independent test team performs may include:
- Pre-production system integration testing. Does the solution work within your overall organizational ecosystem? Importantly, if this is one of several teams currently developing new solutions, does this team's solution work with what will be in production (including the work in progress of other teams) when they go to release? In mid-to-large organizations the only economical way to do this sort of testing is via an independent, centralized team.
- Usability testing. Although it's possible to do usability testing on the development team, the reality is that usability testing is a specialized skill that few people have (although could pick up via non-solo development). Furthermore, particularly for solutions with many potential users, you may want to invest in a usability testing lab. This is a centralized resource, or an outsourced resource these days, which is shared across many teams.
- Security testing. Security testing is also a specialized skill, albeit one well supported with sophisticated security testing tools such as the Rational Appscan suite which can be included in your continuous integration (CI) strategy. Many organizations will centralize their security testing efforts.
- Exploratory testing. The fundamental goal of exploratory testing is to discover where the solution breaks, as opposed to confirmatory testing which focuses on showing that the solution conforms to the requirements (this is the type of testing the development team typically focuses on). Exploratory testing is also a skill, a good one which everyone should strive to pick up, but exploratory testers are often few in number in many organizations. So, to leverage their skills effectively you may want to have some of them on the independent test team while they mentor others while doing so.
- Non-functional testing. Non-functional requirements have a tendency to fall through the cracks on some development teams. Knowing this the independent test team will often "test to the risk" and focus on non-functional issues.
- And much more. The above points are just exemplars, not an exact list. Please follow some of the links above for greater detail.
I'd like to leave you with several important thoughts:
- The developers still do the majority of the testing. Just because there's an independent test team it doesn't imply that they are the ones doing all the testing. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. They should be doing the minority of the testing effort, albeit the more difficult forms of it.
- An independent test team will support multiple dev teams. For example, a test team of 5-6 people could support several development teams totalling 70 to 80 people. I typically look for a 15:1 or 20:1 ratio of developers to independent testers, hopefully even higher than that.
- You need to consider better tooling. Although the development team will still be using common agile testing tools such as the xUnit and FIT frameworks the independent test team (ITT) will need more sophisticated tooling. First, the ITT will need to be able to report defects back to the team easily. When the development team is using a Jazz-based tool such as Rational Team Concert (RTC) then this can easily be done using either RTC (the web interface may be sufficient) or another Jazz-enabled product such as Rational Quality Manager (RQM). Second, the ITT will likely need more sophisticated testing tools, such as Rational Appscan for static and dynamic security testing and Rational Performance Tester (RPT) for performance testing (just two of several software quality management tools you should consider).
- Independent testing is economical. Although I listed several tools in my previous point (hey, I do work for a vendor after all) an "unfortunate" implication of my advice (unfortunate for IBM at least) is that you can reduce the number of licenses that you require and still get this critical testing done by centralizing their use.
- It may be a bit more complicated in regulatory environments. In a strict regulatory environment the independent test team may need to repeat, or at least validate, the testing efforts of the development team. In regulatory environments my fundamental advice is always this -- Have practical people, including yourself, read and interpret the regulations. If you leave it to the bureaucrats you'll get a bureaucratic solution.
- This is an important scaling technique. Parallel independent testing, when done in an agile manner, is an important technique which you should consider when scaling agile strategies to meet the uniques needs of the situation that you find yourself in.

How to Set General Accounting Options in QuickBooks 2014
The Company Preferences tab provides the following five general accounting check boxes, as well as date warnings and closing date settings. (The check boxes are probably self-explanatory to anybody who has done a bit of accounting with QuickBooks.)
Use Account Numbers: The Use Account Numbers check box, if selected, enables you to enter an account number for a transaction. The associated check box, Show Lowest Subaccount Only, tells QuickBooks to display only the name and account number of a subaccount (if you're using one) instead of the full heritage of the account.
If you use a lot of levels of subaccounts, this option can really clean up views, making it easier to tell what account you're looking at.
Require Accounts: The Require Accounts check box, if selected, tells QuickBooks that you must specify an account for a transaction. This makes sense. If you aren't using accounts to track the amounts that flow into and out of the business, you aren't really doing accounting. It would never make sense to deselect the Require Accounts check box.
Use Class Tracking for Transactions: The Use Class Tracking check box lets you tell QuickBooks that you want to use not only accounts to track your financial information, but also classes. Classes let you split account level information in another way. This sounds complicated, but it's really quite simple.
The account list, for example, lets you track revenue and expenses by categories of revenue and expense. You may track expenses by using categories such as wages, rent, and supplies. Classes, therefore, provide you a way to track this information in another dimension.
For example, you can split wages expense into those wages spent for two different locations of your business. A restaurateur with two restaurants may want to do this. Note that QuickBooks also provides a box you can check to indicate that QuickBooks should prompt you to assign classes.
Automatically Assign General Journal Entry Number: This check box tells QuickBooks to assign numbers to the general journal entries that you enter by using the Make Journal Entry command. You want to leave this check box selected. General journal entries, by the way, are typically entered by your CPA or your professional on-staff accountant.
Warn When Posting a Transaction to Retained Earnings: This check box tells QuickBooks to display a warning message whenever you or someone else attempts to directly debit or credit its retained earnings account. (Normally, you don't want to directly debit or credit the retained earnings account, and only skilled accountants would enter transactions directly into retained earnings in any case.)
Date Warnings: The Date Warnings boxes tell QuickBooks to warn you when you or someone else enters a transaction with a date too far in the past or too far into the future. If you mark either of the Date Warnings boxes, you also want to specify how many days are too far into the past or too far into the future.
Closing Date setting: The Closing Date box lets you identify a date before which your QuickBooks data file can't be changed. In other words, if you set the closing date to December 31, 2012, you're telling QuickBooks that you don't want any changes made to the QuickBooks data file before this date.
This means that someone can't modify a transaction that's dated before your closing date without getting a scary warning message. It also means that someone can't enter a transaction by using a date before this closing date. You can click the Set Date/Password button to display a dialog box that lets you specify a closing date and create the password required when someone wants to add an old transaction or modify an old transaction.
All recent versions of QuickBooks provide an always-on audit trail, so you don't see an Audit Trail check box accounting preference any more. An audit trail, by the way, simply keeps a list of who makes which changes to transactions. Accountants, predictably, love audit trails. Audit trails enable someone, such as your CPA, to come in after the fact and figure out why an account balance is what it is.

According to a recent TripAdvisor survey of more than 2,100 travelers from around the world, 68 percent of travelers regularly stay at the same hotel chain when on business trips. Marriott was selected as the top hotel choice when traveling for work. Thirty-four percent of respondents plan to take one to three business trips this year, and nearly ten percent will take ten or more trips for work this year.
Business Travel Benefits
Forty-eight percent of respondents consider business travel something they "don't mind too much," while 32 percent said they find business travel to be "enjoyable." The most appealing part of traveling for work, according to respondents, is seeing new places (35 percent). In terms of the favorite luxuries of business travel, 34 percent cited the "luxury sheets and fancy bath products" while 22 percent said it was having a room to themselves. The most important hotel feature when traveling on business is a hotel's location and proximity to meetings or the airport (32 percent), followed closely by having a high-speed internet connection (30 percent).
Business Travel Beefs
Missing the significant other and family was the least favorite part of business travel, according to respondents. Not surprisingly, the most irritating aspect of business travel, according to 48 percent of respondents is flight delays and cancellations. The most annoying type of leisure traveler is the child sitting behind you who kicks your seat, according to 55 percent of business travelers.
Other Business Travel Tidbits
Forty-six percent of travelers are likely to tip more generously when they know it is a reimbursable business expense. Almost half of those surveyed (48 percent) said they sometimes fly into secondary airports, just for the convenience when traveling for work. Twelve percent of respondents acknowledge having visited a strip club while on a business trip.
"Happy travelers beget happy travelers. The fact that business travelers are loyal to hotels that meet and exceed their expectations speaks to the same power of shared experiences that send visitors back to their favorite brands and to TripAdvisor to write and read reviews," said Michele Perry, director of communications for TripAdvisor(TM). "Consistent with our survey results, the vast majority of TripAdvisor reviews for the top business travel brands are positive, and the number of reviews for these top business brands exceeds the average for all hotels."

You can sink a lot of money into furniture and, if you don't buy carefully, spend too much, wind up with defective products or months-late delivery, have to live with items you hate, or get stuck with pieces that don't hold up. Before you begin shopping, formulate a general plan of what will fit your space, set a budget, and decide how long you expect it to last.
In our Ratings Tables, you'll see we found big service quality differences among area stores. Checkbook receives an inordinate number of complaints—and poor ratings—from customers of many stores. Fortunately, some furniture stores make shopping easy.
Comparing prices is difficult because many retailers sell items that aren't available elsewhere; and it's unusual to find the same national brands sold by more than one or two retailers. But there are steps you can take to get good prices. If you're shopping at independent stores, we recommend you ask them to bid competitively for your business.
Don't assume that a sale price—even a heavily discounted sale price—is a good price. The sale prices offered by many local stores and on most websites probably aren't special at all. Unfortunately, we find that many furniture stores use deceptive practices where these sales never end. Even if the sign says "Save 60%," it's probably meaningless.
Avoid leaving a big deposit, and make all payments with a credit card; if the store breaks its promises, you'll have the option of contesting the charge with your credit card company.

Album Rating: 2.0Transit of Penis.
Band was cool like 10 years ago when I was 13. I'll give it a listen.
oh my god that album cover is hideous
I have absolutely no interest in this whatsoever, i had already got over this band prior to One-X's release.
This review is OKAY at best, it's short length, and very short descriptions of songs and the album really don't give me much of an idea of how this is, however, i can't blame you too much cause there really can't be much to say except "another three days grace album".
Album Rating: 2.0Album's eh so far
That album cover....
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffI never noticed the album cover, but that really is an ugly piece of shit (even if you don't like Life Starts Now, you gotta admit that was badass cover).
I felt the review could've been longer and it still compares the album to One-X, but I pos'd anyways
Album Rating: 2.0It's his first review, jeeeeeze
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offi don't think it's great, but it's easily their best album.
Album Rating: 3.5Now for me, I thought the s/t was far and away better than one-x. they really started going downhill from there. especially with life starts now. there were like two songs of that album I liked. anyway, ill give this a chance considering 3dg really was the band that started my music progression. they'll always be sentimental to me. hope I don't waste $10+ tomorrow.
Also, good first review. POS'd
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffPos'd. Good review. Pretty good evolution imo from TDG. I'm not a big fan of them, but I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Pretty catchy and interesting; album could've used a few hard rockers though, Animal I Have Become style.
(even if you don't like Life Starts Now, you gotta admit that was badass cover).
Yeeeaaaano... it wasn't
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffSign of the Times, The High Road, Misery Loves My Company, and Give Me A Reason are all pretty great tracks in my opinion.
Decent first review, but your idea of selling out and limited tastes is stupid
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off@Flutter The color and actual quality of the illustration looks great. I don't care for many of the songs in it, but I still thinks it's a good cover. Most album covers today suck (Green Day's new one makes me want to puke)
Album Rating: 1.5 | Sound OffNot bad for a first review.
I just realised how fucked up the graph for this album is.
Yeah jesus christ how many trolls rated this?
Album Rating: 1.5 | Sound Off1, 3, 5.
The actual fuck.
I liked the first couple Three Days Grace records when I was younger. This doesn't seem bad, but not
one track is up to the caliber of some of their previous singles.

Amorgos | Cyclades
A granite island rising dramatically out of the Aegean, Amorgos became famous during the late '80s through Luc Besson's "Big Blue" for its spectacular waters and rugged beauty. Since then, not a lot has changed. Because it is relatively difficult to reach (it takes around 7 hrs to get there by ferry from Pireaus and there is no airport), Amorgos has remained unspoiled by mass tourism. The bars are small but fashionable, the restaurants are family owned and the pace of life is blissfully slow.
The setting is stunning. The steep, sunbaked coast of the south-east and the inland mountains give way to the gentler landscape to the northwest, where the island's two ports are nestled.
The town of Amorgos sits on top of a hill, overlooking the port of Katapola. True to the Cycladic aesthetics, the architecture is perfectly attuned to the barren landscape with clusters of white-washed cubes clinging onto rocky slopes, affording spectacular views of the Aegean.
Monastery of ChozoviotissaThis is one of the country's most impressive monasteries, it's 8 floors clinging onto a 300 metre high sheer cliff. Legend has it that the monks originally planned to build the monastery at a different location, but the building materials were miraculously moved there. Don't let the 300 steps that lead to the monastery put you off; both the building (and its exhibits), and the spectacular view, will more than make it up to you.
ChoraStrolling around the narrow alleyways of Amorgos is an experience on its own. Situated at the mid-south of the island, the brilliant white houses and streets of Chora contrast sharply with the soothing blues of the earth and sky, composing a scenery of awe-inspiring beauty. The village's little streets, bursting with colourful bougainvillea and geraniums, are dotted with charming cafes and tavernas where you can join the cheerful buzz of chatting and clinking glasses.
Aegiali and KatapolaThe island's two ports, each have their own distinct character and colour. In Katapola, time seems to slow down. The village's relaxing vibe is contagious, soon enough you will feel like you don't have a worry in the world. Come night-time, Aegiali's colourful bars buzz with activity as people of all ages sip their cocktails under the starlit sky. If you're lucky enough, you might come upon an open-air concert on the pier where the sail-boats dock - make sure not to miss it.
Hiking and rock climbingIf you are a fan of the outdoors, Amorgos is the perfect place for you. The island boasts 50 climbing routes and countless trails that make for world-class climbing and hiking. Add to that the spectacular views, and you have a truly memorable experience. Amorgos also offers geocaching games - an outdoor treasure hunt throughout the island.
They say that luxury is in the little things; there is no place where this is truer than Amorgos.
Amorgos has the easy-going, relaxing vibe of a place where life is simpler, and people know how to enjoy the small things - tasting local delicacies at family-run tavernas, enjoying a drink in a candlelit bar, having a coffee under the shade of a tree to hide from the mid-day Mediterranean sun, or simply passing the time by gazing out at the at the wild beauty of the Amorgos landscape or the deep blues of the surrounding sea.
Aside from offering life in the slow lane, Amorgos offers some first-class sightseeing and activities. The monastery of Chozoviotissa, built 1.000 years ago, hosts an interesting collection of artefacts. You can also visit the Byzantine church of Agios Ioannis Theologos, the chapel of Agia Triada and the church Panagia Katapoliani. In Chora, you will find the archaeological museum, which hosts a brilliant collection of pieces that date back up to 4.000 years ago.
Hiking in Amorgos is a unique experience, not least because of the mesmerising views to be seen from the island's well-organised trails. One of the paths takes hikers through a cultural journey of 4.000 years, linking the two ancient cities of Minoa and Arkesini, with their churches and Byzantine frescoes.
Rock-climbers will find 50 excellent climbs on the mountain opposite Langada. Amorgos also offers excellent diving sites, its seabed dotted with ancient shipwrecks and reefs.
Amorgos has no airport, so you can take a ferry from Piraeus to one of the two ports, Aegiali or Katapola. The ride lasts about 7hrs. You can also catch a flight to Santorini or Naxos and then take a ferry from there. There are regular routes connecting the islands during high season, however be sure to check the connections, especially during off season.
Resembling a mountain plan ted amidst the Aegean Sea, the morphology of Amorgos makes it ideal for endless sea-gazing and daydreaming in a holiday villa with pool. Luxury villas in Amorgos are not difficult to find as the island is one of the biggest ones in the Cyclades welcoming thousands of guests every year. The Greek Villas' selection of luxurious private villas will meet the needs of all those looking for the best holiday villas to rent.

Road Tax is based upon the CO2 emissions of the vehicle and is split into 13 bands from A to M. The higher the letter the greater the cost of tax paid to drive the vehicle on public roads. In addition to the road tax detailed below, any vehicle that had a manufacturers retail price in excess of �40,000 when first sold, attracts a road tax supplement of an additional �320 per year. This is charged until the vehicle is 6 years old.

The improved second generation version of Toyota's Aygo should prove to be a stronger offering for the Japanese maker in the growing citycar sector. To keep its appeal current, the brand has delivered a smarter look inside and out, while enhancing refinement and efficiency. Plus customers have the option of the company's 'Safety Sense' radar-driven safety package. Other strong selling points include a neat connected touch screen system, plus as before, the ease with which this model can be personalised will attract younger buyers. In addition, as ever, there are minuscule running costs too.
So, what makes a car feel 'fun'? Sprightly handling? Cheeky looks? Clever marketing? And can an urban runabout really qualify for purchase on those grounds? With this model, the second generation Toyota Aygo, we're told that it can. You might think you know this car but if you haven't tried this MK2 version, launched here in the Summer of 2014, then you probably don't. Yes, it shares many of its mechanicals with the original design. No, it's not the same. Let's start with the fundamental thing that hasn't changed. As before, this design has been produced as part of a joint Toyota/PSA Group venture that's also brought us French alternatives sharing most of this car's important bits - namely Peugeot's 108 and Citroen's C1. That was also the case with the first generation Aygo, but that car didn't make much attempt to differentiate itself. This one's very different. It's not only the look that's unique but also the very specific way you can personalise it to suit almost any kind of taste or preference.
The engine is still the same 1.0-litre three cylinder petrol unit but Toyota claims to have given it better torque delivery at low speeds - and its output is slightly up to 71bhp. Cabin refinement has been improved too. Acceleration from rest to 62mph can be accomplished in 13.8 seconds, and top speed is 100mph. Otherwise, it's as you were. This car is supposed to be 'fun to drive'. But just how much 'fun' is it really possible to have in a car with just 71 braked horses beneath its bonnet? Actually, a surprising amount. For a start, the 998cc petrol unit sounds playful, its normally aspirated note filling the cabin with a characterful three cylinder thrum. True, the long first and second gear ratios mean you'll have to rev it quite hard for meaningful progress but there's plenty of performance for town trips. You can get a self-shifting 'x-shift' gearbox as an option (we hesitate to call it an 'automatic'). Actually, it's what the engineers call an 'automated manual' gearbox that can be used in fully automatic mode, or with manual gear selection using paddle shifts or the shift lever itself. Could you comfortably venture further afield in this car? Potentially yes. Both wind and road noise have been more effectively suppressed at typical A-road speeds to make that more possible and you certainly notice the difference on the motorway. There doesn't though, seem to have been much effort put into isolating the engine note. If anything, that's been emphasised as Toyota believes it contributes to this car's whole 'fun' ethos.
This revised Aygo now has a fresher look, with its frontal "X" motif now transformed from a two-dimensional graphic into a more powerful, three-dimensional architectural element. The lower section of the X frames the front grille, while black, gloss black or silver ornamentation beneath the lights aims to accentuate the car's width. This update also includes redesigned headlight units with integral daytime running lights and there are now LED light guides at the rear and revised tail lamp clusters. Inside, there are updated instrument graphics and fresh fabrics. As before, the cabin features a trapezoidal-shaped centre console, with this design theme reflected in details such as the air vents, door trims and gear shift surround. The console supports a wide dashboard with a matt, anti-glare finish, set between slim A-pillars. The instrumentation features a meter made of up concentric rings which are permanently lit. It incorporates an easy-to-read central multi-information display. The very compact five-door bodystyle limits rear seat accommodation, but it's fine by class standards. The boot's still pretty small though, 186-litres in size.
Prices range from just under £10,000 to around £15,000 and there's a £500 premium if you want to go from the three-door to the five-door bodystyle. The revised trim range starts at 'x', then rises through 'x-play' and 'x-press' to 'x-plore', 'x-cite' and 'x-clusiv'. Avoid entry-level trim and, for £375 more, you'll be offered the option of adding in the 'Toyota Safety Sense' package of active safety features, including a Pre-Collision System, Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Alert. Dealers expect the 'x-press' and 'x-plore' variants to be especially popular, these derivatives making good use of this second generaion Aygo model's scope for personalisation. The 'x-press' sports a bright red front bumper, with further red trim on the roof, the side sills and the rear diffuser. The reason that variants like this are so easy for Toyota to create is that this MK2 model Aygo has been designed to feature clip-on interior and exterior panels that can be swapped at will. Inside, the instrument panel, centre console, air vent, shift knob and gear lever surround all feature sections that can easily be changed. To try to keep things easier for the customer and to offer better value, Toyota has also created a range of exterior and interior styling packs, rather than forcing people to select piece-by-piece customisation. If you haven't yet tried this current generation model, you'll also be impressed by Toyota's x-touch multimedia system - a fully integrated seven-inch touch screen that features on most models. It incorporates a rear view camera as standard and uses a five-function main menu, giving easy control of audio, phone, connectivity, vehicle and journey information functions. Customers will also be able to access a wide choice of navigation and social media applications. You'll need to make sure your smartphone has a generous data plan if you're going to get the best of it.
Toyota's award-winning 998cc three-cylinder, 12-valve DOHC engine now meets Euro 6.2 emissions standards. Revisions have achieved a better balance of power and fuel efficiency, thanks to a new dual fuel injector system, a higher compression ratio, new low-friction components and a cooled exhaust gas recirculation system. You'll be expecting very low running costs here - and by and large, you'll get them. Expect 72.4mpg on the combined cycle. Couple that economy with a 35-litre fuel tank and you have a vehicle with a range of over 530 miles, which given typically small citycar annual mileages will probably mean you won't get on first name terms with the staff at your local filling station. CO2 emissions meanwhile, are rated at well under 100g/km. What else? Well there's no diesel option of course. I say 'of course' because the figures show that 90% of citycar buyers historically haven't wanted to pay the premium for fuelling from the black pump and there seems no prospect of that attitude changing very soon. And residual values? Well, they may not be quite as strong as those commanded by a Volkswagen up! but once you've had a chat with your friendly Toyota dealer, you'll probably end up paying less for an Aygo, which will sort that out anyway. And depreciation on this car has traditionally been slightly less than is the case with its Peugeot and Citroen design stablemates. Insurance is rated at group 3E.

Restaurant Review
Rasoi: An Indian Kitchen
This kitchen is bitchin'
Fond memories and food go hand in hand. (By far, my favorite cooking-based recollection is being forced to boil 1,200 servings of "fiesta corn" in cooking school because I had the temerity to challenge my instructor's assertion that grilled cheese is not an entrée.) Memories are made in the kitchens of every culture. And after learning that rasoi means kitchen in Hindi, I was all the more eager to visit the University Area's newest offering of reasonably priced Indian cuisine in a striking atmosphere.
Rasoi's décor is attention-grabbing. Hot-orange walls meld with the vibrant colors of billowing curtains, setting the stage for a wealth of Indian art—shining silver mirrors, glittering tapestries and a gorgeous, bejeweled orb lamp in the middle of the dining room. Owner Lareesa Agarwal was my chipper hostess and attentive server. She extolled the virtues of the lunch buffet ($8), but she had me at saag paneer. I also ordered from the regular menu and decided on tandoori machhli (tandoor-cooked whole tilapia stuffed with spices, $15.95) and piazzi kulcha (naan bread stuffed with onions, $2.95). The week before I dropped in for takeout tandoori khubiyan (combination plate of spiced yogurt-marinated chicken, boneless lamb, prawns, skewered ground lamb and boneless chicken, $17.95), saag paneer (spinach with spices and homemade cheese, $7.95) and lasani naan (naan with garlic, $1.95).
Garlic is usually a good thing, but the lasani naan I had went overboard with the pungent stuff. I didn't care for it. In contrast, the meat combination in my to-go container was divinely inspired and licked with a slightly tangy charcoal flavor. The saag paneer was well above average and loaded with ginger for a warm and lingering twist.
Agarwal spent some clams on the dinnerware here, as evidenced by the shining coppery chafing dishes on the buffet. The whole table was set up to sell subtle class (as much as a buffet can, anyway) with white linens, spotless silverware and ceramic plates, all ensconced in the back corner, right in front of the kitchen. The kitchen sports huge windows so that diners can see all the fun behind the scenes. The cooking areas looked remarkably clean, and I was tickled to be able to see the smiling cooks, one of which was wearing a neat, black turban.
The first self-serve course on the buffet was subzi bhajia, chopped cauliflower, potatoes and spinach fried in chickpea batter. Each little wad was light, crisp and starchy. Next was basmati rice with cumin seeds and green peas, then aloo (spiced potatoes) with fresh green beans. The savory dish of stewed vegetables sabz-e-bahar, in a spicy tomato and onion sauce, was a vegetarian's wet dream, followed by chana dal, a thick, creamy lentil soup fragrant with fresh cilantro and ginger. Chicken makhani, or "butter chicken," is similar to chicken tikka masala, but slightly mellower and richer. The pieces of dark meat I sucked down were so tender I could cut them with the back of a spoon.
No decent buffet would be complete without something sweet. Rasoi's kheer (rice pudding with milk and sugar) tasted like glacier-cold fresh cream, liberally garnished with powdered pistachios.
The regular naan on the buffet table was great, but add a grip of sweet red onions, as they do on the piazzi kulcha, and the extra change is well worth it.
Though the tilapia was delicious and juicy, encased in a crispy edible skin enhanced by rubbed spices, it was conspicuously lacking the smoky flavor that tandoor ovens imbue in food. I asked Lareesa about it, and she told me they used both gas and charcoal tandoor ovens and that my fish had been cooked in the former. Not bad, I decided, but not the same.
Overall, the dishes that came out of Rasoi's kitchen were superb. Even though I still believe grilled cheese is an entrée, it's good to change up lunch or dinner with a tandoori chicken every so often
The Alibi Recommends:
• Tandoori khubiyan
• Saag paneer
• Chicken makhani
• Kheer
Rasoi: An Indian Kitchen, 110 Yale SE, 268-5327. Winter hours: Open every day, lunch 11 a.m-2:30 p.m.; dinner 5-9 p.m. Price range: inexpensive. Credit cards, catering, vegetarian-friendly.

Josh Hartnett & Abbie Cornish — New Hot Couple Alert!
What do you think of this pairing, BFFs? Do they get your seal of approval?
Abbie Cornish, 27, split from Ryan Phillippe, 35, back in February, and while he's clearly moved on with 25-year-old Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Jessica White, it looks like she's moving on as well — with a little help from Josh Hartnett! Abbie and Josh, 31, were spotted together at NYC bar Warren 77 on Apr. 24, and The Huffington Post is reporting that the two looked real cozy. After chatting at the bar, the site says the couple moved to a corner table at the back of the bar and left together at around 1 a.m.

Thank you to Bikergurl for hosting 100 Word Wednesdays.
Cale ensured he arrived at the beach before sunrise. The sun peaked over the mountains in the distance. Then slowly the light crept in to highlight foam capped ocean waters. The light encompassed the night sky, turning darkness into a washed out pale blue accented by a wash of orange.
The brilliant sunrise continued and Cale felt the welcome warmth in his limbs, humming in rhythm with the tide. He was thrilled, filled with a buoyant happiness he hadn't felt in ages.
Shifting his backpack, he noticed the shimmer of gold dust raining down on him, as his body began to float off the beach.
A radiant sparkle in front of him giggled: " 'Second star to the right , straight on 'till morning,' right?" He smiled, no longer a lost boy.

This illustration shows the stages in processing a SQL statement:
The database first opens, then parses the SQL statement. The database then decides whether or not to perform a query. If Yes, the database decides whether or not to do a DESCRIBE. If Yes, the database will do a DESCRIBE, then decides whether or not to describe more. If the database does not describe (or describe more), it will DEFINE. The database may Define more, or it may not, in which case it decides whether or not to do a bind.
If the database performs a bind, it will decide whether to bind more. If it does not, it will EXECUTE, then PARALLELIZE the statement, after which it decides whether or not to performs a query. If Yes, the database performs a FETCH, after which it can fetch more. If No, it decides whether to execute others. If No, it closes. If Yes, it decides whether to reparse. If Yes, the process starts over again. If No, the process starts again from the "BIND" point.

For a time life was going rather smoothly for the engaging, well-to-do young Frenchman. He was confident he had made the right choice. That was until he saw firsthand the realities of battle, including the St. Bartholomew's Day massacres of French Protestants in 1572.
He fell seriously ill and found himself reviewing his priorities, including his spiritual life. By the time he had recovered Caesar had resolved to become a priest. Following his ordination in 1582, he undertook special pastoral work: teaching the catechism to ordinary people living in neglected, rural, out-of-the-way places. His efforts were badly needed and well received.
Working with his cousin, Caesar developed a program of family catechesis. The goalto ward off heresy among the peoplemet the approval of local bishops. Out of these efforts grew a new religious congregation: the Fathers of Christian Doctrine.
One of Caesar's works, Instructions for the Family on the Four Parts of the Roman Catechism, was published 60 years after his death.
He was beatified in 1975.

The New ABCs of Medical School: Anatomy, Biochemistry, and Cooking
Monday, February 13, 2017
As Hippocrates, the founder of modern medicine, spoke, "Let food be thy medicine." However, most medical schools in the United States do not adequately teach nutrition. Several programs, including at Tulane University, are addressing this shortcoming by including cooking classes in their curriculum. The hope is that by teaching future doctors how to cook delicious and healthy meals, they will pass that knowledge on to their patients, improving long-term health.
The rates of obesity and obesity-related diseases are increasing throughout the world according to "Prediabetes: A Worldwide Epidemic." The Center for Disease Control reports that nearly half of all deaths in the United States are due to heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes. Entire scientific journals, such as Nutrition and Health, Diabetes, and the Journal of Nutrition, are devoted to examining the relationships between nutrition and health. Research has shown that nutrition is one of the leading causes of and significantly affects the management of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and aging-related diseases.
There is no clear correlation between policy recommendations and nutrition choices. For example, a study that provided nutrition information to adults at fast-food chains found that simply providing information did not alter consumer choices. Coaching has consistently proven effective at changing eating habits, especially when tailored to an individual's lifestyle and medical history. Many see using doctors as nutrition coaches as a natural extension of a physician's duties and a valuable opportunity for one-on-one intervention. However, a National Institute of Health survey revealed that a majority of primary care physicians do not give diet advice. According to polls reported by the Washington Post, less than 25 percent of doctors feel they are informed enough regarding nutrition to discuss it knowledgeably.

First and third ingredients are named meat products.
Contains some controversial filler. Insufficient meat to be considered a premium product.
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product. There is a further meat product at 3rd on the ingredient list. However, it is chicken inclusive of its water content (about 80%) and once that is removed it is likely that this ingredient would be more accurately placed somewhat further down the ingredient list (ingredients are listed in order of weight). Nonetheless the splitting of the chicken products allows us to be confident that the first ingredient in the food really is a meat product. Note also that this is an example of the practice of splitting (see note on main page), but in this case serves to increase our level of confidence in the amount of meat product in the food. There is a further meat product in the food (fish meal) at 11th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to be considered a substantive part of the food.
The second ingredient in the food is brown rice and the fourth is oats. Both are decent quality grains. Chicken cartilage is a better source of glucosamine and chondroitin than additives.
Beet pulp is filler and a controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food especially so high on the ingredient list. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
Further down the ingredient list, barley is a decent grain. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than dried egg product.Use of vegetables is also appreciated, but it is preferable that these are not in dried form. The food contains a range of probiotics.
Overall, this food is probably one of the better ones in this class. It lacks sufficient meat product to be considered a premium product however, and does contain controversial filler.

I have only made one quilt and a few small projects, but I tackled this.. How should I finish it? I am going to try to post pictures and my question is what border should I put on this? Green then rope ---rope then green - either or. The grass fabric is for the back. I thought I would put one of the large horse panels in the middle of the back.
I thought this would be easy, but have changed so many times. It started out I was going to put sashing around each panel with the rope fabric, didn't like that and changed to the green. Now how or should I finish.
This is for my step-son and wife, I want to take to them in Oklahoma when we go in May.
Finally, do you usually stick with your original plan when making a quilt or does it change as you go like this one did.

DOHA, Qatar, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Qualifiers Tsvetana Pironkova and Petra Cetkovska pulled off first-round upsets Monday at the WTA's Qatar Total Open 2014.
Pironkova extended the recent frustrations of 11th-seeded Roberta Vinci with a 6-3, 6-3 win in which she has six breaks in nine Vinci serving games. Pironkova won 55 percent of the points off Vinci's serve, nearly as high a percentage as when Pironkova served. Vinci is 0-4 this year.
Cetkovska knocked off No. 14-seeded Sloane Stephens 7-5, 6-1, taking more than 70 percent of the points in the second set. Cetkovska dropped serve twice in the first set but had three breaks to claim the lead. She finished 5-of-7 in break opportunities.
Venus Williams rolled to a 6-2, 6-2 decision over Petra Martic in 63 minutes. Williams won three-quarters of the points on serve and faced only one break point.
Peng Shuai took a very tight 7-6 (7-5), 7-5 win over Nadia Petrova and Annika Beck topped German compatriot Mona Barthel, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 while Hsieh Su-Wei got by Flavia Pennetta 7-5, 6-3.
Li Na, assured next week of moving to No. 2 in the world rankings, is the No. 1 seed this week over a field that includes seven Top 10-ranked players.
No. 1-ranked Serena Williams and second-ranked Victoria Azarenka, who played for the tournament title last year (with Azarenka winning), are out due to injuries and No. 5 Maria Sharapova is working on a broadcast team at the Sochi Olympics.

NAIA Football Players of the Week ? No. 3
By: Sam Knehans, Communications & Sports Information Intern
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Erik Brown of Ottawa (Kan.) is named the NAIA Football National Defensive Player of the Week, Melvin Mason of Southern Oregon is recognized as the NAIA Football National Offensive Player of the Week and Jordan Pedersen of Doane (Neb.) is tabbed as the NAIA Football National Special Teams Player of the Week, the national office announced Monday. The trio was chosen for their performances during the week of Sept. 9 – 15 and each was selected out of a pool of conference and independent award winners.
Brown, a Converse, Texas native, recorded three interceptions to lead Ottawa's defensive unit in its 20-6 victory over No. 2 Missouri Valley. The junior defensive back added six tackles—including two solo—one pass breakup and a sack. Brown's defensive unit held the Vikings to a 1-of-7 mark on fourth down conversion attempts and forced four turnovers. His three interceptions tie him for second all-time in the Ottawa record book for interceptions in a single game. Brown also contributed on special teams, blocking a Missouri Valley field goal attempt which was picked up and returned 65 yards for a touchdown by teammate Morey Croson. Brown currently leads the NAIA with four interceptions on the season and ranks fourth in the nation in passes defended per game (2.5).
Mason, a running back from Valencia, Calif., recorded a career-high 236 rushing yards against NCAA Division I FCS Sacramento State (Calif.). The freshman recorded go-ahead touchdown runs of 76 and 55 yards in the fourth quarter, but the Big Sky opponent held on for a 63-56 victory. Mason currently ranks among the NAIA leaders in total rushing (11th, 296 yards), total scoring (13th, 26 points) and all purpose yards (14th, 365).
Pedersen, a kicker from Crete, Neb., went 2-for- 2 on field goal attempts, putting it through the uprights from 20 and 37 yards. The sophomore went 4-for-4 on extra point attempts in the Tigers 34-27 win over No. 13 Northwestern (Iowa) and is a perfect 6-for-6 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra point tries this season. Pedersen also helped Doane control the early-game field position with his kickoffs, averaging 61.4 yards per kick, which pushed Northwestern's average starting field position in the first half back to its own 17 yard line. Pedersen currently leads the NAIA in total field goals (6), field goal percentage (1.000) and PAT kicking percentage (1.000) and is second in the nation in total scoring for kickers (23).

U.S. Department of Labor
Wage and Hour Division
Release Number: 13-1770-DAL
Executives with Texas-based High Performance Ropes of America sentenced to time served, company ordered to pay employees back wages, penalties
US Department of Labor recovers more than $165,000 for workers
WACO, Texas -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division announced today that Belton-based High Performance Ropes of America was convicted of one felony count of making false statements and ordered to pay $165,356 in overtime back wages and liquidated damages to 31 employees, fined $12,100 in civil money penalties for repeat and willful violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and received a court-ordered fine of $10,000. The owner, plant manager and office manager were also convicted on separate felony counts.
A two-year investigation by the Wage and Hour Division covering December 2008 to December 2010 found that the employer failed to pay its workers time and one-half for hours worked over 40 in each workweek. A second investigation from December 2010 to March 2013 revealed that the employer submitted false payment evidence to the department and demanded kickbacks from the workers while continuing to avoid overtime obligations. The employer also kept a second set of time records hidden from investigators. High Performance Ropes of America makes heavy duty wire rope used in construction, mining, oil and gas, bridge suspension and ski lifts.
The division, in cooperation with the Justice Department, provided evidence that the company and its officers repeatedly and willfully violated the overtime and record-keeping provisions of the FLSA. The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas. The company and its officials were found guilty of felony counts, including making a false statement, aiding and abetting illegal re-entry into the U.S. and withholding information about a crime. Luis Alvarez Jr., Mario Champo and Mary Becerra were sentenced to time served with probation.
"High Performance Ropes of America, a company with a history of FLSA violations, furnished falsified records to Labor Department investigators and willfully withheld information that showed employees worked up to 96 hours per workweek, with no overtime compensation," said Cynthia Watson, regional administrator for the Wage and Hour Division in the Southwest. "These were egregious labor violations that resulted in the exploitation of low-wage workers. As demonstrated by the prosecution and sentencing of the defendants, we are committed to working with federal agencies, such as the Justice Department, to pursue the full force of the law against employers who engage in criminal activities."
The FLSA requires that covered, nonexempt employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour for all hours worked, plus time and one-half their regular rates, including commissions, bonuses and incentive pay, for hours worked beyond 40 per week. Additionally, employers must maintain accurate time and payroll records. The FLSA provides that employers who violate the law are generally liable to employees for their back wages and an equal amount in liquidated damages, which are paid directly to the affected employees.
For more information about the FLSA and other federal wage laws, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or its Dallas District Office at 817-861-2150. Information also is available at http://www.dol.gov/whd.
U.S. Department of Labor releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office upon request. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7828 or TTY (202) 693-7755.

VCU Crowned Champion in Higher Ed Data Breach Madness
Virginia Commonwealth University reported the largest data breach amongst higher education institutions in the United States in 2011, according to a recent analysis by Application Security's research division TeamSHATTER.
The team gathered information on publicly reported data breaches reported by colleges and universities around the country in 2011 and ranked them in order of number of records breached to create March Madness-style bracket. Despite the fact that data breaches dominated headlines in 2011, higher education institutions fared better in 2011 than in previous years, TeamSHATTER found.
There was a dramatic decrease in both the number of higher education institutions and the volume of records that were compromised, according to the analysis. In 2011, 48 universities reported being breached, an improvement from the 57 breached in 2010. The biggest change is in the number of records breach, plummeting 70 percent in 2011 to 478,490 records, compared to 2010's 1.7 million. In fact, 2011's figures are at its lowest point since 2005, when Privacy Rights Clearinghouse began collecting the data.
While it was very encouraging to see the record-lows, TeamSHATTER advised IT teams higher education institutions "to proceed with very cautious optimism."
It's quite possible that the drop in the number of breaches and volume of compromised records reflected the steps IT teams at universities have taken recently to protect their infrastructure, said Alex Rothacker, director of security research at TeamSHATTER.
"In total almost half a million of records were compromised, so there is still a long road ahead in getting the problem under control," said Rothacker.
There's also a supply-and-demand problem, as the street value for stolen data has done down in the criminal underground, according to Josh Shaul, CTO of Application Security. The volume of data stolen over the past few years have created a glut, and criminals are seeing less demand for personal data.
The "Final Four" Top University Breaches of 2011
The champion, as identified in the "2011 Higher Education Data Breach Madness" list, was Virginia Commonwealth University. VCU was the only institution in 2011 to report a data breach in which more than 100,000 records were compromised, compared to three in 2010. Last year's champion, Ohio State University, had lost 750,000 records.
In November, VCU reported personally identifiable information, including Social Security numbers, names, and school and personal email addresses for 176,000 students and employees had been exposed after a malicious worm had infected one of its servers. In some cases, dates of birth, job titles and other contact information were also illegally accessed, according to VCU.
The "final four," to continue the March Madness metaphor, included University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Yale University and the University of South Carolina. University of Wisconsin notified 79,000 students and employees in August that a database containing names and Social Security numbers had been compromised. During the same month, Yale notified 43,000 students and alumni that due to a configuration error, their names and Social Security numbers had been accessible via a Google search over a 10-month period. The University of South Carolina reported a breach affecting 31,000 faculty, staff, retirees and students last March.
While VCU and University of Wisconsin servers were compromised by malware, the incidents at Yale and USC were the result of human error.
While it is too soon to predict what 2012 would look like, Rothacker does not believe there is a downward trend for data breaches among higher education institutions. Rather, 2011 was a blip, he said. Despite the fact it's only March, TeamSHATTER estimated that the number of breached records in 2012 have already exceeded the 2011 total. Arizona State University reported a breach of 300,000 records in January, and there have been other significant breaches at the City College of San Francisco, University of North Carolina Charlotte and Central Connecticut State University.
Attackers are also "busy elsewhere" as they join groups like Anonymous, which go after "much more interesting targets" than university servers, Shaul said.
