E-mail Marketing: A Quick Guide
Email marketing is a form of direct marketing in which customers, existing or potential, are informed of products or services from a specific company via email message. These emails can include special offers and promotions, announcements of new products and services, or a specific call to action.
Email marketers track which emails result in the most conversions in order to continually improve their marketing campaigns over time.
According to The Radicati Group's Email Statistics Report, 2011-2015, "The number of worldwide email accounts is expected to increase… to nearly 4.1 billion by year-end 2015." The typical email user sends and receives about 105 email messages each day; using email marketing effectively, you can gain access to an enormous pool of potential clients and customers.
Why E-mail Marketing Is Effective
Email Marketing is an inexpensive way to send a message a large group of people instantly. More importantly, email analytics track how that group reacts to the message – whether they open the message, unsubscribe to the mailing list, or make a purchase or conversion as a result of that message.
E-Mail Marketing Terms – read more in the Buyer's Guide.
By reaching out to a large number of customers at once, a company can then track how those customers responded to the message. Most email marketing software enables businesses to track and compare multiple metrics within their email campaigns, including bounce rates, open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates. Companies can purchase mailing lists, compile their own email list of current and past customers, or reach out to new subscribers through advertisements and social media.
Email marketing can be very cost-effective, because a single action – an email message – can potentially generate a large increase in revenue. Although conversion rates are typically low with e-mail marketing campaigns, the low cost of implementing and managing the campaign keeps the cost per acquisition can be very low – oftentimes much lower than most other marketing activities.
- Travelocity increased its net revenue by 12.3% by targeting a customized email marketing campaign to lapsed customers (Forrester).
- Mint.com generated 8,500 new leads – at a per-lead cost of 50 cents each – via a single email campaign. They asked existing subscribers to forward a referral to friends through email and social media (Forrester).

E-Mail Marekting Costs
Forrester's Interactive Marketing Forecast 2011-2016 predicts that the amount advertisers spend on email marketing will increase from $1.5 billion in 2011 to nearly $2.5 billion in 2016. Many times companies will hire an email marketing firm to handle the campaign on their behalf. By doing so, a company can literally outsource a potentially very profitable marketing endeavor in a short amount of time.
Whether you manage your campaign on your own with email marketing software or hire a specialty firm to handle it for you, use caution. Make sure that the email list you use is legitimate and current, and that you adhere to any local and federal regulations regarding spam and email marketing – such as the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.
If you're interested in email marketing, consider online marketing or direct mail marketing.

a series 20ohm resistor,
Approximately 0.7 over the led
Your series resistor is WAY too small. You are drawing 145 mA (2.9 Volts / 20 Ohms) from a pin that has an absolute maximum rating of 40 mA!
I'm not sure why the led is dropping so much, perhaps because the resistor was so low.

The UN High-Level Summit on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) held on 19-20 September 2011 in New York was a major milestone in the history of global health and development. The Summit was only the second time the UN General Assembly devoted exclusive attention to a health-related issue and world leaders made unprecedented commitments to accelerate global progress on diabetes and NCDs.
An unprecedented 34 Heads of State and Government attended, and 120 Member States made statements expressing their concern about the global burden of NCDs and committing themselves to action. The Summit united people from all over the world to share experiences and solutions in numerous side events, and energized the global NCD community to take action.
The most significant outcome of the Summit was the unanimous adoption of the Political Declaration on NCD Prevention and Control by 193 Member States. The Political Declaration includes a set of commitments that firmly position diabetes and NCDs at the top of the global health and development agenda. Governments have finally taken ownership of the NCD problem and stated in definitive language that 'we have a problem and we need to fix it.'
IDF led a civil society movement which pushed for the UN Summit, influenced political negotiations and secured strong outcomes for diabetes and NCDs.

text: I e-mailed LEGO.com and asked what the odds of them re-releasing the Falcon were and they said they said something like, "Some classics could come back." A lot of people probably e-mailed them about the X-Wing and Y-Wing + TIE Advance set and that's why those sets are being released again. I've checked eBay, and a lot of people want the Falcon, including myself, but I don't like the $200 and up price. Do you think it's possible if enough people e-mail LEGO, we can get the Falcon for the original $100? Who's with me on this?

ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System Standard
ISO 9001:2008 is an internationally accepted set of quality management system requirements that can be applied to any service or manufacturing organization, providing proven, successful approaches to achieving customer, society, and management quality goals. ISO certification is the foundation for the development of your quality system; it enables process improvement and boosts the effectiveness and efficiency of your system.
Registration is typically a service provided by an independent third-party registrar (certification body), which is capable and qualified to assess whether an organization has successfully and effectively adopted and implemented a set of requirements. The steps to certification generally involve a quality manual review, an on-site pre-assessment or readiness review, and an on-site registration assessment, which will confirm that the documented system meets the specifications of the standard.
Hundreds of Thousands Have Chosen ISO 9001
There are over a half million organizations worldwide that have adopted and implemented ISO 9001. Organizations implementing ISO 9001 report improved profit, lower employee turnover, better than national performance average on benchmark indicators, and improved effectiveness and efficiency.
Continual Improvement: A Quality Paradigm
The desire for continued improvement in the quality systems of organizations has been well documented. Organizations must determine what is the most beneficial, proven, and cost-effective approach. Just as important is the practice of aligning quality management systems with business goals. Such goals and objectives likely include:
- Reduced variation in work practices
- Clear standardized work instructions
- Enhanced intra- and interdepartmental communications
- Practical metrics that reflect progress
- Reduced operating costs
- Error prevention
- Reduced liability exposure and cost
- Top management commitment and support
What is the Process Approach?
ISO 9001:2008 is based on the "process approach" i.e., a chain of added value activities delivering a product or service to a customer (internal or external) of the process. A process focused approach includes:
- Understanding and meeting customer requirements
- Attention to customer satisfaction
- Continual improvement
- Application of the "Plan-Do-Check-Act " (PDCA) or equivalent cycle
- Managing interrelated processes
- Links between quality and business plans and objectives
- Defining and using process metrics
Every business operates via processes. ISO 9001:2008 can be applied to any organization's quality management system.
Third Party Certification – Letting Everyone Know You are Committed
Achieving registration provides a tangible goal and a publicly recognized and listed attribute of your organization. In many cases, it validates your conformance to a mandated requirement. An ISO 9001 certificate has become a requirement to many large purchasers, including the military, government, auto industry, electronics industry, and aerospace organizations.
Benefits of ISO 9001 Registration
Implementing a quality management system registered to ISO 9001:2008 can lead to benefits such as:
- A demonstrated commitment to customers and stakeholders of strengthening "organizational capability"
- Improved processes that result in reduction of errors and risk of rework
- Increased customer satisfaction
- An enhanced image of the organization through proactive quality focused leadership
- A recognized responsibility for, and involvement with, quality by the entire organization
- Better defined processes and sub-processes, including their critical links
- Recognition of deterrents to an operation's or service's efficiency and effectiveness
- Identified opportunities for improvement
- A strengthened commitment toward the organization's satisfaction of regulatory requirements
- Improved communications among employees
It may not be readily apparent, but quality management systems registered to ISO 9001:2008 can also be applied to address items such as: customer concerns, administration issues, equipment up/downtime, and process efficiencies.

After a run or a workout, this hearty smoothie will refresh and restore, with its combination of spinach, Greek yogurt, avocado and berries.
For food safety reasons, frozen vegetables must be cooked.
Here's an easy way to pit an avocado: Cut the avocado lengthwise in half around the pit, and pull apart the halves. The pit will stay in one of the halves. Firmly and carefully strike the pit with the sharp edge of a knife. While holding the avocado, twist the knife to loosen and remove the pit.

More than 1,000 items given during campus wide food drive
Posted December 14, 2001; 11:34 a.m.
Mercer Street Friends came to Princeton University Thursday, Dec. 13 to collect 1,007 nonperishable items donated by members of the Princeton community during the first campuswide food drive.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 10-12, students, faculty and staff dropped off nonperishable foods at several locations across the campus. The drive benefits the Mercer Street Friends Food Cooperative, which is the central clearinghouse that channels food into the community for hunger relief.
Leading the donations were the graduate students and families of Butler Apartments, who collected 161 items; and undergraduates Rebecca Snyder and Keisha White, who managed to raise more than $140 during a collection at Butler College.
Also making a good showing were the Third World Center (124 items), Admission Office (106), Forbes College (89), Cottage Club (69) and Nassau Hall (63).
The drive was sponsored by the Council of International Graduate Students and the Center for Community Service .

France 1848 – French Polynesia 1903
Still-life with fan
[Nature morte à l'éventail] c. 1889
oil on canvas
canvas 50.0 (h) x 61.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Transferred in application of the Peace Treaty with Japan 1959
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
Gauguin produced around one hundred still-life paintings, forming one-sixth of his total oeuvre. He held firm views on depicting nature, of which his still-lifes are the exemplar. He railed against the prevailing Realist aesthetic. In an incident over lunch with several younger followers, Gauguin lost his temper when describing the transposition of an object to canvas. Gesturing towards a dish of apples, he shouted: 'For goodness' sake, that's not an apple, it's a circle!'1
Along with fruit, Gauguin often incorporated his own belongings into his still-lifes, especially favourite creations, which personalise the compositions and act as a second signature. The present work includes a Japanese-inspired fan and a ceramic pot, both of which also appear in his portrait, Madame Alexandre Kohler 1887–88.2
As one of the second wave of French artists who made fans in the Japanese manner,3 Gauguin produced around twenty in pastel, gouache and watercolour, mistakenly hoping for their commercial success. They display similar themes to his paintings. In the fan depicted here, a distinctively clothed Breton woman bends in a field surrounded by russet-leafed trees.
The spatial arrangements in this work are unusual. Gauguin has placed the fruit on an undefined surface. The knife, designed to add a perception of depth, protrudes into an abyss of background. The fan encloses the back of the still-life without suggesting the edge of the table or a wall.
In Still-life with fan Gauguin also experiments with a combination of stylistic influences. He owned several still-life paintings by Cézanne, and borrowed and adapted the older artist's use of small repetitious diagonal brushstrokes for rendering his fruit. Degas was another artist with whom Gauguin exchanged ideas. In Still-life with fan, he adopts Degas' signature cropping device, with one group of fruit sliced in half by the edge of the canvas. Gauguin also gleaned ideas while working with the ceramicist Ernest Chaplet during the winter of 1886–87. Named Rats with horns,4 the pot included in Still-life with fan was Gauguin's particular favourite. He rejected perfect glazed porcelain, believing it had 'killed ceramics'. He preferred the earthy hand-made style—'God gave man a little bit of mud … and with it a little bit of genius.'5

Lieutenant Alan Dudley Henderson
|Birth date:
|8 July 1894
|Birth place:
|Australia: Victoria, Melbourne
|Death date:
|27 April 1915 to 30 April 1915
|Death place:
|At sea: Vessel, At sea (HMHS Seang Choon)
|Final rank:
|First World War, 1914-1918
|7th Australian Infantry Battalion
Alan Dudley Henderson was born at Hawthorn, Victoria, on 8 July 1894. After attending Trinity Grammar School at Kew in Victoria, Henderson qualified as an accountant. Before the outbreak of the First World War he spent seven years with the senior cadets and two years with the Citizens' Forces. The 20-year-old enlisted with the Australian Imperial Force on 24 August 1914 and departed Melbourne with the 7th Infantry Battalion aboard HMAT Hororata on 19 October 1914.
In Egypt, Henderson was made a platoon commander in the newly formed A Company of the 14th Battalion. In early April 1915 the battalion was moved to Alexandria and then to the staging area on Lemnos Island in preparation for the landing on Gallipoli. Henderson wrote of the importance of the coming landing in a letter home: "It is going to be Australia's chance, and she makes a tradition out of this that she must always look back on."
The 7th Battalion took part in the landing on 25 April as the second wave of troops to storm ashore. It was on this day that Henderson sustained a serious gunshot wound to the chest whilst Australian forces were desperately trying to establish a foothold on the peninsula. He was evacuated to a hospital ship waiting offshore but, despite treatment, succumbed to his wounds sometime between 27 and 30 April 1915. Alan Henderson was buried at sea and is commemorated on the Lone Pine Memorial at Gallipoli in Turkey.
In a letter to Henderson's father, which was published in The Argus on 24 June 1915, Lieutenant Colonel Harold Edward "Pompey" Elliott wrote of Henderson's "coolness and intrepidity" on the day of the landing and how he intervened to prevent the revenge-killing of a wounded Turkish prisoner by his men. His brother Rupert was killed in action on Gallipoli on 8 May 1915. Another brother, Kenneth Henderson, also served during the First World War and returned to Australia in 1918.

Hello everybody,
One of my websites was recently prey of a vicious attack of malware, I've already cleaned it up and is back-up again, seems like the cause was the Filezilla client stored credentials, that the attacker used to get access to the site directory and upload the corrupted files.
Now I need to know what is the best way to store a big amount of credentials (FTP's, databases creds, admin passwords, etc)?
I've been storing all my password on a password protected WORD document stored on cloud service, what you guys think about this method? and is there any better you recommend?
Thanks in advance, I'm kinda new to managing websites and i'm trying to get my way around things the best as possible and learn the most I can (in the shortest period of time XD) .
Use one of the thousand or so password safe products out there. Lastpass, keeppass, onepassword come to mind. Personal favorite of mine is Secret Server, their cloud option is free for a single user.
If you're using filezilla make sure you keep stored credentials safe. Filezilla client stores any site login credentials in plain text, and it's up to you to protect the stored info.
FTP sends the credentials in plain text over the network anyways, making it pointless.

I picked up the new figs today so these reviews are based on having them in hand and now opened (with the except of Shmi):
Shmi - I am quite pleased with this fig. This is obviously a hold-over from the now defunct Ep I line in the fact the sculpt is very good, but not POTJ quality. The overall sculpt with the body of this fig is very good. I dig her accessory quite a bit, but since i haven't open this piece, I still have no idea what it is. The only problem lies with the head of this fig and the way it's painted. Very, very pale and not the way Shmi should look. Perhaps the sculpt for the face is there and the very light-toned paint deco is holding it back. It's kinda hard to say. As a whole I am beyond happy to finally get a Shmi figure. It took long enough, but overall was very much worth the wait. My grade: B
Luke Xwing Pilot - I am very, very, very happy with this new Luke. It's probably my favorite Luke fig Hasbro has done to date. First off, the eyes look completely normal. The one I bought, as well as all the ones I chose from had very normal looking eyes and none were looking up. The overall detail to the body is awsome: the wrinkling of the flight suit is very impressive, as is the helmet, which looks very accurate - is slighty dirty, and fits very well onto Luke's head. Now as far as the bucktooth controversy: some Lukes I saw seemed to suffer from this to some degree. It kinda looks like the ones that are more 'bucky' in appearance, didn't get quite enough white paint applied - making it look like one big tooth. The one I got looks very normal to me. If you don't like it, the tooth can be scraped off. The paint deco for the hair is way darker than what we saw at th San Diego Comicon, perhaps a little too dark here, but it seems pretty close and nothing to get worked up about. The overall pose is good - I have no real problem with the hand poses w/ this fig - just looks a little 'odd' but that's it. As a whole this Luke is 1, 000,000 times better than the POTF 2 version and comparing the two is laughable. My grade on this new Luke: A, and feel it is very worth of the POTJ line.
Han Solo: Death Star Escape - with this new Han, there seems to two kinds of collectors out there in Internet land: those who think this is a dead-on likeness of Harrison Ford as he appeared in ANH, and those that think the face is awful. I fall into the first catagory. To me, this is a wonderful likeness of H. Ford as he appeared in the first Star Wars movie. I think part of the negativity for this fig's face sculpt comes from the fact that most have only seen pics from fairly large scans taken from the various conventions. Seeing this fig up close and personal, the face seems quite good and a lot closer ( I think it's as close as we'll get) to what the actor looked like in the movie. The pose is very dynamic, which I don't like on all figs, ie Lobot - but here, it works very well. I was able to pose this piece with strong Han Solo-type poses we saw him do in the movie and that's what makes this fig alot of fun. This is, without a doubt, my fav Han Solo fig as he's seen in ANH. One thing people will want to know is that the Stormtrooper belt is a separate piece, but is fairly tight. Using a hair dryer and heating it up may allow for the belt to slip out around the waist without cutting it, but may be tough - I aint trying. Unfortunately, the holster is NOT functional and that is a bit of a bummer. I don't see why Hasbro didn't make it able to holster the gun unless the felt the extra articulation in the arms was enough. As a whole though, this is a great Han Solo figure. My grade: B+ (would've been A with a functional holster)
Darth Vader Emperor's Wrath - this is a very cool, if somewhat 'odd' looking new Vader. I really like the detail fom the chest down. You can see all kinds of wrinkles in the body suit of this fig and this level of detail along with a nice, but not overyly carried away pose, helps to really sell this Vader figure. The extra articulation is the right arm as well as the rem hand are both cool, but not overly shocking. The hands fits quite well and pegs into the wrist without it being too difficult (ie, no fear of breakage). From the chest up, and especially the head sculpt is quite cool, The empty sockey holes in the scull are quite noticeable and really gives this fig a kind of 'what the...' look. The base of the scull to the socket holes are very well detailed, but once we go below the eye holes, the mouth of the scull to the neck get a little lost from the trasparent face mask Vader has. I like the bolts that are painted onto the back of the dome on Vader's helmet, but quite frankly, we could have used a little more of the electricity detailing. Either that, or we should have gotten boomer-styled electrical bolt accessories that we could wrap around Vader's body (I will be customizing my fig with this). As a whole, this is a wild idea of a figure that has decent execution, but is still not quite as cool as Dagobah Vader . That's not to say I don't like this piece; quite the opposite, Emperor's Wrath Darth Vader is a fine addition to the ever expanding POTJ family. My grade: A-
On a side note, Shmi, Luke, Han and Vader are all totally in scale to one another, with Vader quite a bit taller than Han, etc. All were on the .04 cardbacks and according to the date stamp, Shmi was packaged prior to the Luke wave... Happy hunting!

BRIEF-Equinix reports Q1 earnings per share $0.57
* Equinix Inc - quarterly revenues increase 12% year-over-year to $950 million
* Combes is third CEO to try and right company's keel
* Plans 1 bln euro cost cuts, 1 bln euro asset sales
* New focus on IP networking and high-speed broadband
* Shares jump 7 pct in early trade
By Leila Abboud
PARIS, June 19 Telecom equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent plans to focus on networking products and high-speed broadband and will slim down with a billion euros in cost cuts by 2015 in a bid to reverse years of losses.
The plan unveiled on Wednesday by Michel Combes, the company's new chief executive, will also include more than a billion euros of unspecified asset sales and 2 billion euros in debt re-financing by 2015, followed by a further 2 billion in debt reduction that could include issuing new shares.
Alcatel shares jumped more than 7 percent to a new year high in early trade.
"This plan goes in the right direction, but I believe some elements of it are not aggressive enough," said Pierre Ferragu, analyst at Bernstein Research, who thought the cost savings could have gone further in a tough competitive landscape.
Alcatel-Lucent, which competes with Sweden's Ericsson , China's Huawei, and Nokia Siemens Networks , has been unable to post regular profits and generate cash since it was formed in a merger in 2006.
Combes, who used to run telecom giant Vodafone's European businesses, is the third CEO to try to right Alcatel.
Combes explained that the group would reposition itself as a specialist player by focusing research and marketing efforts on its high-growth Internet Protocol (IP) networking products and very high-speed broadband in fixed and mobile. These priority areas will get 85 percent of the company's R&D budget, while older, legacy products would be "managed for cash".
The aim is for sales of IP products, which help direct data traffic inside telecom networks via specialised routers, to grow by roughly 15 percent to more than 7 billion euros by 2015, or about half of group sales.
Combes also wants to improve the operating margins on IP networking from their current 2.4 percent to at least 12.5 percent and make the firm free-cashflow positive by 2015.
"To deliver on this strategic plan, we need to regain competitiveness - that means having the right products, quality of execution, and lowering our costs to be similar to peers," Combes said on a conference call.
Alexander Peterc of Exane BNP Paribas was hoping for more emphasis on what would drive the business forward.
"Alcatel-Lucent's plan includes more of the same on restructuring, and not enough of the new focus," he said.
Alcatel-Lucent shares have risen 40 percent this year on hopes that Combes can turn around the Paris-based group.
But its market capitalisation has shrivelled to 3.2 billion euros ($4.3 billion), far from its pre-merger levels of roughly $36 billion.
* Equinix Inc - quarterly revenues increase 12% year-over-year to $950 million
WASHINGTON, April 26 U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to allow national monument designations to be rescinded or reduce the size of sites as the administration pushes to open up more federal land to drilling, mining and other development.

How about a review? Dropped by today (Friday) at about 11:55 and there were maybe four people in line. Went through their process to get a small Fiesta Mexicana - which was good - a little spicy but a good mix of flavors and I would go back. Now the other side - they are about as organized as a minor train wreck - I suspect that out of the maybe 12 people behind the counter, three knew what was going on. When I placed my order for the Fiesta Mexicana they asked if I wanted everything but no where on the lit board menu did it list what "everything" was - I had to find a written menu at the entrance to answer the question. On the way out the door showed PUSH but you could push the door open it would only pull and when it did it got hung up on the carpet. Reality is, they need some fine tuning except the food was good. For sure, get rid of the clown with the sign on Hopyard - half the time you cannot read the spinning sign and half the time he drops it. A clue to new restaurants - follow the example of The Habit and have training days where the food is free or discounted to get your crew ready for the job at hand. No, I have no interest in The Habit:-)

I have to admit, I don't see anything wrong with "10 items or less". Maybe I'm growing stupid. (Guessing: "ten"? "fewer"?)
dwmw2's frustration with misuse of language mirrors my own. Among apostrophe abuses, my favorite is faking an acute accent that should be over the preceeding letter. This is especially common here in the southern US. "cafe'" Some people even name their children using it. Ha!
Currently, my biggest language irritation is the recent surge in use of "I" outside of the subject of sentences. I think it bugs me because it's not a normal ignorance-of-the-language problem; one has to go out of one's way to use "I" incorrectly.
[I first posted "Currently, by bigest language irritation". :\ I blame my new split keyboard. :) Though, it has proven to me that I type incorrectly, especially in hitting 'y' with my left forefinger, which is no longer possible.]
Dear Mister Language Person: What is the purpose of the apostrophe? Answer: The apostrophe is used mainly in hand-lettered small business signs to alert the reader than an "S" is coming up at the end of a word, as in: WE DO NOT EXCEPT PERSONAL CHECK'S, or: NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ITEM'S. Another important grammar concept to bear in mind when creating hand- lettered small-business signs is that you should put quotation marks around random words for decoration, as in "TRY" OUR HOT DOG'S, or even TRY "OUR" HOT DOG'S.

Remember the "purple boards?" (Message boards that were all in black (background) and purple borders.)
So back to the topic, in 1995 I'd already had experience with the CRS System of the government's. Then dial-up internet became the rage to train people on at my university and get put into every dorm room.
If you could search any topic, why not search "Star Wars" as that was one of the things I enjoyed most passionately? (I was already involved in politics online BEFORE Star Wars - if that helps explain anything).
I found the JediNet message boards. JediNet was a web-ring, or a homepage that linked many different aspects of Star Wars fandom and their message boards: the books, costumers, role-play groups, and of course the toys.
I met SirSteve online there, as his college homework assignment for his HTML class got noticed by the manufacturers in Hong Kong (China) and they admired his pictures dedicated to presenting the existing 9 figures, and sent him images of the next 7 (Luke Snowspeeder / Yoda / TIE Pilot wave). Steve started getting more site hits than the bandwidth at JediNet could handle. He had to go out on his own, and his younger brother, while annoying him, called him "Sir," and SirStevesGuide was born!
(Steve should be telling this story actually).
Anyway, I was talking with him online, and my JediNet book reviews got the notice of YakFace.com who invited me to join them. I was on a mission to prop-up the EU and I wanted multiple site exposure as all these fan sites started to proliferate, including Rebelscum, HuntersGuild, and CollectStarWars.com (the pre-cursor to GalacticHunter.com)
Shadows of the Empire only encouraged me more to press for EU figures, but YakFace was giving me very little support and I did not know HTML programming myself. SirSteve actually began to teach me. In fact, I learned more from him about computer programming than I learned in college. (Steve, if you're reading this, I'm actually still grateful - I just haven't said anything for a long while).
Well YakFace (and Rebelscum) got into severe competition with Steve - and things were bitter over news and especially image stealing. I wanted everyone to get along, but with Action Online interfering, things looked worse and worse for that happening.
SSG became more of a business, and I always looked at it as more my entertainment and a fan mania fest. Steve didn't need to be a looney fanboy when he had me around to cover that!
I offered my loyalty and support to him and left YakFace after only a few months, and I've been with Steve ever since 1996.
Yes the boards have been relocated, updated, etc. That is why many of us have profiles that say we joined in 2001 or something.

Blue buffalo large breed puppy check out the ingredients.
Had my puppy on pro plan and slowly switched him over to blue buffalo wilderness large breed puppy because I thought he might have some allergy issues. It didn't fix the issues which I believe aren't food allergy related and his stools became awful. So back to pro plan we go. The ingredients may not be rated as high but it just seems to work.
Eukanuba, I've had no complaints with it. Been using it solely for almost 13 years now.
Have had good results with Eukanuba. Started with puppy then moved up to performance. Lots of energy and quick recovery after those cold hunting days!

Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts." – Aristotle
So what is Bravery and how are we as Scouts and Scouters Brave?
Well the Scout handbook tells us that; "A Scout can face danger even if he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at or threaten him." The handbook goes on to say; "saving lives is not the only test of bravery. You are brave every time you do what is right in spite of what other might say. You are brave when you speak the truth and when you admit a mistake and apologize for it. And you show courage when you defend the rights of others."
You don't need a medal to be brave, you don't need ribbons and articles in the paper. Bravery comes from deep inside. It is the voice within you that calls you to do the right thing.
Last night at our Troop meeting I held a few Scoutmaster Conferences. In the course of one of those conferences a question came up about "dealing" with certain member of the patrol this Scout was in. I won't go into details, and I am certainly not saying one Scout is better than the other, but apparently there has been some conflict within the Patrol. Nothing to bad that will cause a melt down, but to your average 12 year old the crisis was seeming to become insurmountable.
He asked how to deal with this. He was unsure how the other Scout would react and he was worried about tearing up the Patrol. I can completely empathize with the Scout and I asked him what he thought about being Brave? He thought it was like going into battle or saving a life. While those are demonstrations of bravery, I told him that he was brave for bringing the issue up to me. I also gave him this advice.
If you are right, then stand up for your position. Right always wins in the end. When people are in the wrong, they always seem to get caught.
Those that do things contrary to the Scout Oath and Law are like lightning rods. Lightening Rods are designed to attract lightning. Sooner or later, they get struck.
Being Brave and standing up for what is right keeps you from being a lightening rod. You are not a target for the lightening strikes of life. And as the lightening showers around you, your bravery will see you through the storm.
A Scout is Brave. Always do what is right.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Turkcell (TKC) released earnings yesterday at around 2:30pm. Aside from a slight bump higher, the news was either ignored–or missed– by investors. (I know I didn't see it until after the close.) Today, the stock has dropped on light volume, as investors focus uncertainties surrounding the company that make the earnings yesterday's news.
Here's JPMorgan's Torsten Achtmann on the earnings announcement:
Turkcell reported 1Q 13 revenues of $1.5bn 0.8% above consensus expectations of $1.49bn (Bloomberg), while reported EBITDA of $452m was 3% ahead of consensus expectations of $439m. Group revenues grew by 12.9% while EBITDA grew by 14.9% generating a margin of 30%. Turkish revenues increased by 11% while revenues of subsidiaries increased by 23%.
Yet despite the solid earnings, investors aren't buying. Part of the reason is the regulatory overhang, Achtmann says.
Management believes the announced regulatory changes (SMS termination rate cut and increase of minimum on net voice tariff) will have an adverse effect on the company's overall business. Turkcell nevertheless awaits further implementation details before the company will communicate any material impact on the 2013 outlook if any.
Citigroup's Dalibor Vavruska piles on.
…Turkcell faces a range of new risks, most importantly in the areas of regulation and corporate governance. The regulator recently imposed minimum retail SMS prices on Turkcell, while cutting the SMS MTR. While the regulator agreed to Turkcell's suggestion and altered the minimum SMS price, no such decision has yet been made on minimum voice pricing or possible changes on voice MTR. We understand that negotiations are ongoing between Turkcell and the
regulator, which may have material impact on Turkcell's business
Vavruska also notes that regulations are not the only uncertainty plaguing the company. Investors are still awaiting the outcome of the ongoing battle for control of the company. He writes:
…the delays of the London Privy Council's decision, which would ultimately determine control in Turkcell, together with the Turkish Government's significantly increased influence in the company, in our view expose corporate governance risks ahead of the scheduled May 22nd AGM. The market is likely to focus on dividends, but we think that it is equally if not more important to focus on the future controlling entities and their incentives.
Turkcell's shares have dropped 1.9% today to $15.20, after dropping 12.7% during the past three months.

Great strides have been made in our collective understanding of the benefits of well-managed diabetes and controlled blood glucose, and the key role in these that is played by physical activity. Yet slow progress has been made translating this knowledge into effective lifestyle education to engender healthful behaviour on a large scale. Very many young people remain at particularly high risk from the chronic effects of disabling diabetes complications. The threat of huge increases in the human and economic costs of diabetes demands a concerted response by multiple sectors of society to spot the warning signs and reduce the multiplehealth risks associated with this life-long condition. Massimo Massi-Benedetti describes a countrywide initiative in Italy, Campagna Buon Compenso del Diabete (BCD Campaign), which aims to spread a culture of diabetes prevention through healthy lifestyle education.

The study of literature provides an outstanding opportunity to cultivate the life of the mind, perhaps the most rewarding of all human pursuits. Reading and analyzing literature teaches us to think critically and deliberately, never shying away from difficult or controversial topics.

Streetopia was the name of a five-week-long art fair in the low-income Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco (described in many tourist guides as "the worst neighborhood in San Francisco"). The fair featured the work of more than 100 artists, as well as lectures and performances and a café that served two free meals a day for the duration of the event. Lyle described Streetopia as ...

The Department of English's' internship program has fostered community partners who provide mutually beneficial internship opportunities that give students access to those "hands-on learning opportunities" that enhance their academic experience. Visit the English Intership Program online.

A sensory exploration of West African masquerade
For the first time in five years, the festival has incorporated a visual arts component into its performing arts schedule, but this is no quiet gallery scene with the hushed murmurs of lookers-on. Expect some noise. Expect loud, vibrant color. Expect a different kind of arts experience altogether.
For the exhibit, Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art curator Mark Sloan has paired photographer Phyllis Galembo's exotic and engaging portraits with contemporary artist Nick Cave's elaborately designed "Soundsuits." Both explore cultural identity, ceremony, and ritual tradition in West Africa through masquerade.
Galembo, a professor of photography at the University of Albany, State University of New York, has documented traditional and contemporary masquerade in Central and South America, Europe, and most recently West Africa. She captures each culture's elaborate—and at times bizarre—costumes designed for weddings, burials, and other rites of passage, her subjects communicating with the audience despite their geographic and cultural distances.
Cave—a Chicago-based sculptor, former dancer with the Alvin Ailey Dance Troupe, and fashion designer—creates his sculptural Soundsuits with layers of brightly colored fabrics, beads, and natural materials to express the movement and sound of masquerade. When worn, they come to life, "offering a poetic response" to Galembo's portraits.
"The idea was to look at both the obvious and subtle threads that connect Africa and Charleston," says Sloan. "It's a poetic, not didactic response." Viewers are sure to revel in the celebratory nature of this visual poetry.

At some point, Rita and her henchmen are nearly undone by the demonic entity Lokar as she unleashes the War-Zord Cyclopsis (see 1993). Titanus (see 1993) may also make an appearance during this time.
In desperation, Rita lures Zordon into a trap with a promise of peace. Before vanishing into a time warp, Zordon seals Rita and her minions into a space dumpster where they will reside for millennia (see 1993). Rita's ally Scorpina apparently evades capture (see 1993).

Last post, you can close the thread now.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
circa 3,000 BCE
From her palace in North America, the demon-queen Bansheera terrorizes the Earth until she is somehow destroyed. From the ruins of Bansheera's palace will emerge the human city of Mariner Bay (see 2000).
Possibly using a magical golden key (see 2000), a warlock seals Bansheera's remaining generals into the Tomb of Forever in Egypt (see 2000) and then dies.

Giant animal avatars known as Wildzords watch over the peaceful North American kingdom of Animaria. Five warriors hold Crystal Sabers linked to Animus, lord of the Wildzords.
Princess Shayla falls in love with her guardian Merrick, who gives her a magical necklace. They regularly play music for the Deerzord (see 2002).
Born from a cavern known as the Nexus, Org monsters led by Master Org besiege Animaria. The Org general Nayzor occupies an ancient city of unknown origin (see below).
The six warriors break away a piece of Animaria as the Animarium, carrying Shayla and five Wildzords (see 2001). The remaining region will later be known as Turtle Cove, and the Animarium will inspire legends for generations (see 1980).
Master Org grows to a monstrous giant form upon consuming an evil "Org Heart" (see 2002). Wielding the Nexus Blade (see 2002), he destroys Animus.
In Nayzor's city, Merrick steals the mask of the wolf demon Zen-Aku and uses the Predazord (see 2002) to destroy Master Org in the Amazon (see 1981).
Merrick is transformed into an evil avatar of Zen-Aku, forcing his teammates to seal him in a tomb for millennia (see 2002).
After most of the remaining Org generals are sealed in the Nexus and other locations (see 2002), the warriors hide the surviving Wildzords across the planet and are eventually laid to rest at a shrine to their own Wildzords (see 2002).

AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
circa 1,000 BCE
On his homeworld in a distant galaxy, the Magna Defender struggles in vain against the forces of the alien warlord Scorpius, who kills his son Zika. Scorpius will later have a daughter, Trakeena (see 1999).
Following a "Great Battle," three Galactabeasts (the Phoenix, Rhino, and Shark) drift lifelessly in space (see 1999), while five others survive (see 1999).
Five Quasar Sabers are left in stone on the planet Mirinoi, while a mysterious Guardian will be charged with guarding the Galaxy Book (see 1000-1600).
Wounded, the Magna Defender releases the powerful Lights of Orion on Mirinoi before falling into a crevice at the hands of Scorpius's general Treacheron (see 1999).
In the dark centuries to come, the proud warrior Loyax will resign himself to the side of evil (see 1999).

Korg Maxi-Korg 800DV
A popular duophonic/monophonic classic from Korg. It's got 2 analog oscillators that can be used for one fat monophonic sound or 2 VCO's per voice for a fat duophonic sound. Flexible design with 2 voltage controlled filters and even a ring modulator. The Maxi-Korg is a great source of early Korg sound that rivals competitors like the OSCar and Roland SH-synths. No MIDI, no memory, but good bass and screechin' leads! It has no CV input either, though it can be modified to accept externnal control from the less standard Hz/V protocol (also used by Yamaha).
Most people usually understand it best as two separate MiniKorgs inside one keyboard with all the controls to both. Most people will stack both voices as the triggering can be tricky as duophonic. It has the very effective ability to delay one voice before it triggers when played mono. It has been used by Kitaro, Vangelis and Soft Cell.

NIH has announced that they will begin blocking renewal of grants, if papers arising from the grant have not been submitted to PubMed Central, as required by the NIH Public Access Policy. According to Dr. Sally Rockey, the NIH Deputy Director for Extramural Research, this enforcement will begin no earlier than July 1, 2013.
The NIH Public Access Policy ensures that the public has access to the published results of NIH funded research. It requires scientists to submit peer-reviewed journal articles that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central. The Policy requires that these articles be accessible to the public on PubMed Central to help advance science and improve human health.
Are you required to comply?
If your article was accepted for publication before April 7, 2008, or is based on research funded by a grant that expired in FY 2007 or earlier, you do not need to comply with this law. Otherwise, if your article was accepted on or after April 7, 2008, you must submit your manuscript to PubMed Central. NIH has a thorough FAQ that can answer many questions, as well as tutorials that can show you what to do.
Beginning May 25, 2008, anyone submitting an application, proposal, or progress report to NIH must include the PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) when citing articles that arise from their NIH funded research.
How to comply
In all cases, the PI is responsible for ensuring compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy.

This is my first year in a fantasy baseball league and I'm trying to beat a friend who has supposedly won this thing the last 4 years, so I need all the help I can get from you gurus out there.
The league consists of 11-teams through yahoo with the following point system:
R=1, 1b=1, 2b=2, 3b=3, HR=4.5, RB=1, SH=.75, SF=.75, SB=1.75, BB/HBP=1,
First question. Would the non-traditional OPS stat be useful in determining values of offensive players in a league like this? I assume so, but I'm not sure. High OPS should translate into good numbers across the board, except for SB's and RBI. Of course RBI, would be dependent on other variables, but RBI's are only worth 1 point, so no big deal, right?
Would Adam Dunn be a valuable player in a league like this? I ask, because in our auto-draft, he was pre-ranked at #72 (pitchers and offensive players). I was surprised, so I moved him up in my personal rankings, but someone else did as well, and I didn't get him.
I also need help with a potential trade.
My infield is strong with:
1b: Helton
2b: Womack
SS: Jeter (K.Greene)
MI: Renteria (K. Greene)
3b: Rolen
CI: Chavez
Now, since I just picked up K. Greene (.795 OPS in 2004 as a rookie), I'm thinking Renteria (.728 OPS in 2004) is expendable. That and I'm not to enamored with Renteria. So, I offered Renteria for Austin Kearns. Take a look at my outfield below. It's weak.
OF: Milton Bradley
OF: A. Rowland
OF: Matt Lawton
OF: Geoff Jenkins
OF: L. Gonzalez
OF/Uil: R. Ibanez
OF: Lance Berkman (DL)
I need help until Berkman is available. So, is Renteria for Kearns a good offer. I think I may pull it off because Kearns was ranked like 180ish and Renteria was #38 (way overrated). What do you all think? I ask because another guy that knows I don't want Renteria offered me Durham and Hidalgo for him. Durham and Womack are a wash, and Hidalgo is not real appealing to me, but my OF is weak and I may need to gamble.
I'd rather have Kearns, so I'm waiting for the other guy to respond to my offer.
My strength of my team is INF and rotation. My rotation is:
-Randy Johnson
-Ben Sheets
-Josh Beckett
-Barry Zito
-Eric Milton, Scott Kazmir, Brett Myers, Jim Lackey (back-up's)
-W. Miller (DL)
My other weakness (along with OF) is relief.
-Guardado (closer)
-B. J. Ryan (closer)
-Brazoban (closer, until Gagne is back)
-Julio (set-up)
-Donnelly (set-up)
-Borowski (DL)
-Tsao (DL)
Thanks in advance for any advice.
