Mobile World Congress (MWC) was a real marathon: According to my wearable gadget, I walked 70,278 steps, or 53.7 km, in four days. So was it worth it apart from the workout?
MWC was certainly busy; it attracted more than 90,000 attendees, including about 50,000 C-level executives (of whom 4,500 were CEOs) — making it the largest MWC event to date. While MWC does not attempt to cater to CIOs' requirements — only about one-third of the attendees come from outside the technology sector, mostly from government, financial institutions, and media and advertising firms — the event deals with all the critical topics that CIOs will have to address in the years ahead.
This year's MWC focused on innovation, which is arguably the single most important business priority to ensure business survival in a rapidly changing marketplace. As a business enabler, every CIO must meet the expectation of today's business customer that he can get what he wants in his immediate context and moment of need. MWC highlighted that:

While Malaysia's tech services market is mature compared with other fast growing ASEAN markets like Indonesia, it remains very fragmented. Some vendors also tout capabilities in technology services that fall outside of their core competencies and for which they have not yet developed a strong track record. The fast-rising digital expectations of business stakeholders are making it increasingly difficult for client organizations to find the right partner for their requirements. In a new report, my colleague Zhi Ying Ng and I provide a detailed analysis of the leading consulting and technology service providers in Malaysia. Here are a few high-level recommendations when choosing a service provider in Malaysia:

OK, out of respect for your time, now that I've caught you with a title that promises some drama I'll cut to the chase and tell you that I definitely lean toward the former. Having spent a couple of days here at Oracle Open World poking around the various flavors of Engineered Systems, including the established Exadata and Exalogic along with the new SPARC Super Cluster (all of a week old) and the newly announced Exalytic system for big data analytics, I am pretty convinced that they represent an intelligent and modular set of optimized platforms for specific workloads. In addition to being modular, they give me the strong impression of a "composable" architecture – the various elements of processing nodes, Oracle storage nodes, ZFS file nodes and other components can clearly be recombined over time as customer requirements dictate, either as standard products or as custom configurations.

In the good old days, computer industry trade shows were bigger than life events – booths with barkers and actors, ice cream and espresso bars and games in the booth, magic acts and surging crowds gawking at technology. In recent years, they have for the most part become sad shadows of their former selves. The great SHOWS are gone, replaced with button-down vertical and regional events where you are lucky to get a pen or a miniature candy bar for your troubles.
Enter Oracle OpenWorld. Mix 45,000 people, hundreds of exhibitors, one of the world's largest software and systems company looking to make an impression, and you have the new generation of technology extravaganza. The scale is extravagant, taking up the entire Moscone Center complex (N, S and W) along with a couple of hotel venues, closing off a block of a major San Francisco street for a week, and throwing a little evening party for 20 or 30 thousand people.
But mixed with the hoopla, which included wheel of fortune giveaways that had hundreds of people snaking around the already crowded exhibition floor in serpentine lines, mini golf and whack-a-mole-games in the exhibit booths along with the aforementioned espresso and ice cream stands, there was genuine content and the public face of some significant trends. So far, after 24 hours, some major messages come through loud and clear:

Intel Raises the Curtain on Poulson
At the Hot Chips conference last week, Intel disclosed additional details about the upcoming Poulson Itanium CPU due for shipment early next year. For Itanium loyalists (essentially committed HP-UX customers) the disclosures are a ray of sunshine among the gloomy news that has been the lot of Itanium devotees recently.
Poulson will bring several significant improvements to Itanium in both performance and reliability. On the performance side, we have significant improvements on several fronts:

The $1.3 billion verdict in the Oracle v. SAP case is surprising, given that the third-party support subsidiary of SAP, TomorrowNow, was fixing glitches and making compliance updates, not trying to resell the software. The jury felt that the appropriate damage award was based on the fair market value of the software that was illegally downloaded, rather than Oracle's lost revenues for support.
A news article by Bloomberg provides further insight into the jury's thinking and the legal process. Quoting juror Joe Bangay, an auto body technician: "If you take something from someone and you use it, you have to pay." Perhaps SAP should have made its case more in layman's terms.
SAP is in a very difficult position, in that it faces the same threat of revenue loss from third-party support. It was unable to convincingly defend its entry into the third-party support business for fear of legitimizing a business that poses a similar threat to its lucrative maintenance business as to Oracle's.
What happens to the third-party support business going forward? The size of the award potentially dampens customer interest in moving to third-party support, particularly with another case pending of Oracle v. Rimini Street. The SAP case, however, does not invalidate third-party support as a business. Third-party support, if carried out properly, offers an important option for enterprise application customers that are looking for relief from costly vendor maintenance contracts.
For SAP, the verdict is not only painful, but it prolongs the agony, because it is compelled to appeal the verdict. SAP certainly has the financial wherewithal to pay the damages but was hoping to put this embarrassing debacle behind them.

With about 41,000 attendees, 1,800 sessions, and a whooping 63,000-plus slides, Oracle OpenWorld 2010 (September 19-23) in San Francisco was certainly a mega event with more information than one could possibly digest or even collect in a week. While the main takeaway for every attendee depends, of course, on the individual's area of interest, there was a strong focus this year on hardware due to the Sun Microsystems acquisition. I'm a strong believer in the integration story of "Hardware and Software. Engineered to Work Together." and really liked the Iron Man 2 show-off all around the event; but, because I'm an application guy, the biggest part of the story, including the launch of Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, was a bit lost on me. And the fact that Larry Ellison basically repeated the same story in his two keynotes didn't really resonate with me — until he came to what I was most interested in: Oracle Fusion Applications!

Today, Oracle announced yet another acquisition - this one of Phase Forward, a clinical research suite that helps life sciences companies manage their R&D process. Oracle paid $685 million in cash for this acquisition. While my research role focus does not encompass life sciences software specifically, Oracle's overall apps strategy is definitely of interest to me. My thoughts about this deal are as follows:

Travel essentials
Why go now?
The combination of the end of Ramadan, and the lowering of temperatures in the Gulf region towards something that most of us would consider tolerable, makes this a good time to plan a visit to Doha. This rapidly changing city, with its fledgling tourist industry, has a surprising amount to offer, particularly as it gears up for its role as the Arab Capital of Culture in 2010.
Touch down
Qatar Airways (0870 389 8090; qatarairways.com) flies four times a day from Heathrow, and daily from Gatwick and Manchester airports. British Airways also flies daily to the Qatari capital from Heathrow. Doha's international airport is five miles from the city centre. Taxis from there to the Corniche area will cost about 40 Qatari riyals (£6.75) and take about half an hour. Alternatively, travel with the locals on the number 19 bus to the city centre bus station (1). Buy a ticket on the bus for QAR3 (£0.50).
Get your bearings
Often described by the locals as "son of Dubai", Doha began to turn itself from an oil town to a glistening modern city about 10 years ago. The heart of town has always been the 7km stretch of waterfront known as the Corniche, or main coastal road. Now, though, life is moving north, first to the Financial District, where many of the modern hotels are located, and further on to West Bay.
Like Dubai, Doha is expanding offshore too, with a luxury development called the Pearl, which will eventually house some 50,000 people, as well as a selection of shops and restaurants.
Check in
At any hotel it is worth trying to negotiate a better price than the one that is first quoted.
New deluxe hotels are opening in Doha all the time, and one of the newest is the Grand Hyatt (2), in a waterfront location on Lusail Street in the West Bay Lagoon (00 974 448 1234; doha.grand.hyatt.com). Double rooms here start at QAR1,500 (£253); breakfast is an extra QAR130 (£22).
The wonderfully atmospheric Hotel Souk Waqif (3) (00 974 443 3030; hotelsouqwaqif.com.qa) is in an excellent location on the edge of the souk, a block from the Corniche and close to the city centre. It has 13 rooms, which are available from QAR880 (£148) for a double; breakfast is an extra QAR79 (£13.40).
More moderately-priced accommodation is available at the New Capital Hotel (4) on Wadi Musheireb Street (00 974 444 5445; touristtravel bureau.com) where doubles start at QAR300 (£49) and breakfast costs an extra QAR20 (£3.50).
Day One
Take a hike
Start at the restored Al Koot Fort (5), first built during the period of Turkish occupation in the late 19th century, when Doha was no more than a village, and reconstructed in the 1920s. Look into the gold souk (6), where you can pick a piece of jewellery from any of the small stores and have it priced by weight. Then pass the Fanar Islamic Center (7) with its spiral minaret, on your way to the fishing harbour (8); here, although there are nets on display, many of the boats have been restored. Heading north you will come to the Clock Tower (9) – a pink, green and white structure set slightly back from the Corniche. The large white building nearby is the elaborate Diwan Emiri (10), the palace where the Emir, or ruler, has his offices.
Depending on the temperature, and your own energy levels, continue walking along the Corniche, past the Ministry of the Interior (11), the National Theatre (12), and the Oryx roundabout (13), named for the sculpture in the centre, and one of several decorative intersections in the city. From here the business district begins, its streets darkened by the tall buildings that continue to spring up all around. The pyramid structure at the far end of the Corniche is the Sheraton (14). This was the city's original hotel, and it is still popular with the locals as a meeting place.
Lunch on the run
In a fine position in the Balhambar building on the Corniche is Al Mourjan (15) (00 974 483 4423; almourjanrest.com), a wonderful spot to sit and look at the water, while enjoying a lunch of mezze or salad. Dishes are available from QAR10 (£1.70).
Cultural afternoon
Doha's cultural jewel, and the attraction through which Qatar is hoping to develop its tourist industry, is the excellent Museum of Islamic Art (00 974 422 4444; mia.org.qa) (16). Open since November last year, it is located in a striking building designed by the Chinese-American architect I M Pei, and built on an artificial island just off the Corniche. Inside, the galleries offer an outstanding display of works, grouped to show the geographical spread of Muslim influence, from Spain to China. The exhibits cover everything from calligraphy to carpets. It opens 10.30am-5.30pm daily except Tuesday, when it is closes, and Fridays, when it opens 2-8pm.
An aperitif
Qatar is a relatively dry country. Any alcohol will be taken from you on arrival at the airport, and returned when you leave. Alcohol is served in the international hotels, although in deference to local sensitivities the bars are usually referred to as "lounges" and you will need to show your passport to get in, unless you are resident at the hotel.
Try the chic Crystal Lounge in the new W Hotel (17) in West Bay (00 974 453 5353; whoteldoha.com).
For the more wholesome experience of the Qatari lifestyle, join the locals who gather in the early evening along the main alley in the souk (18) for coffee, water, and shisha or hubbly-bubbly pipes.
Dining with the locals
The best choice of restaurants is along the main alley of Souk Waqif (18), where Western-style coffee shops sit side-by-side with restaurants offering a variety of cuisines. Most opulent is the Isfahan Garden (00 974 441 8737), which serves excellent Iranian food. Ask for a peep into the private room, designed for the royal family, who still come here from time to time. For good Qatari food – Arab cuisine influenced by Indian spices – try Al Tawash (00 974 498 2002). On the menu are locally-caught fish like safi, kingfish and hammour.
Day Two
A walk in the park
Al Rumeila park (19) is a pleasant green space that is popular, especially at weekends, with families who come to enjoy attractions that include a children's play area, free Wi-Fi and views across the water.
Take a hike
Dhow trips operate from the landing stage on the Corniche opposite the Ministry of the Interior (11). The usual rate is around QAR20 (£3.40) per person for a minimum of four people taking a trip lasting 20 minutes. For longer trips a certain amount of negotiation may be required. Expect to pay QAR300 (£51) for a boat that will take a small group of people for an hour-long excursion right along the Corniche. Trips operate from morning until late at night, although tend not to sail in the hottest part of the day.
Out to brunch
The day for brunch in Doha is Friday, the Muslim day of rest. A copious spread is put on in many of the international hotels; a particularly popular choice is the one at the Café Restaurant in the Intercontinental (20) (00 974 484 4444; ichotelsgroup.com). It is served from noon-4pm and costs QAR250 (£42). If your stay in the city doesnot include a Friday, head instead for the Colombiano Coffee House (21), a small outdoor cafe in front of the Jimmy Choo store on the Pearl, the residential and retail development on reclaimed land in the West Bay Lagoon. The first part of the Pearl is now open, and the waterfront, close to a picturesque marina, is a pleasant place to enjoy a late breakfast. A latte, a croissant and a taste of South America will cost you QAR24 (£4).
Window shopping
For an Arabic experience, albeit a rather sanitised one, wander through the Souk Waqif (18). Doha's traditional market, with its narrow alleys and stalls, has always been on this site, although repeated renovations have robbed it of the atmosphere found in other parts of the Arab world. On the plus side, though, there are plenty of colourful stalls to investigate, including one specialising in falconry; and the souk is completely safe and hassle-free. For western-style shopping, the largest mall is the City Centre (22), whose stores open 10am-10pm daily. For more upmarket outlets, visit the Pearl development. Although by no means all of it is yet open, it already has plenty to offer the designer-minded shopper.
Go to church
The Anglican Church of the Epiphany (00 974 451 6798; epiphany-qatar.org) holds a service every Sunday evening at the Doha English-speaking School (23); go in through the entrance on Al Maarri Street.
The icing on the cake
One of the easiest ways to explore the desert landscape outside Doha is to take a trip to the Inland Sea. Excursions organised by Gulf Adventures (00 974 422 1888; gulf-adventures. com) will take you to the end of the paved road, an hour or more outside the city, and then transfer you to a 4x4 for a hair-raising ride over the sand dunes, a swim in the Inland Sea, and a glimpse of Saudi Arabia across the water. A four-hour trip costs QAR240 (£40) per person.

I'm in the IT/software industry and I've usually gotten interviews from applying online(monster, careerbuilder, etc.). When I was unemployed I tried to send out as many as I could (about 20 or so a day). I only did cover letters or really changed my resume for maybe a few day for ones that I was really interested in. I had to take crappy pay for a year or more before I got something decent since I didn't have experience and my field wasn't too hot when I graduated.
Networking helps a LOT. If you know anyone that works at a company that might have a position for you, you can hand him/her your resume and they could pass it along to HR. Also sometimes companies release job openings to the employees first to see if they can refer someone they know. It's definitely a whole lot more likely you'll get a call for an interview that way unless other industries are really that different.

USC Men's Volleyball Sweeps No. 10 Cal State Northridge
April 6, 2013
Sparked by the presence in the lineup of graduating seniors Chris Trefzger and J.B. Green, who got rare starts on Senior Night, the unranked USC men's volleyball team posted an upset sweep over No. 10 Cal State Northridge, 25-23, 25-22, 25-19, in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation match on Saturday (April 6) at USC's Galen Center.
USC, playing its 2013 home finale, improved to 6-16 overall and in the MPSF. The Matadors, who are fighting for the final berth in the upcoming MPSF Tournament, fell to 11-13 overall and 9-13 in the MPSF.
Trefzger, a setter starting for just the second time in his career, dished 37 assists and made 7 digs. Green, in just his fifth career start, had 2 digs as Troy's libero.
Cristian Rivera had a match-best 18 kills while hitting .500 for the Trojans. Teammate Joey Booth added 13 kills (hitting .348) along with 6 digs, while Alex Slaught had 12 digs (hitting .625) and Josh Kirchner had 4 blocks.
For CSUN, John Baker and Brandon Lebrock each had 13 kills. Baker hit .435 and added 6 digs, while Lebrock had 3 blocks.
USC hit .418 to CSUN's .256. The Matadors had 6.5 blocks, while Troy had 5.0.
The first set was tight throughout until a Booth kill followed by a Matador hitting error gave USC a 24-22 lead, all the margin it needed to close out a set in which it hit .516 behind Rivera's 10 kills. The Trojans got off to a 4-1 start in the second set and maintained control throughout. USC used a 5-0 run, aided by a pair of solo blocks by Kirchner, to forge a 10-5 cushion in the final set and the Trojans were never threatened while hitting .476.
USC closes out its 2013 season on the road next week with a pair of MPSF matches, visiting No. 7 UC Santa Barbara on Wednesday (April 10) at 7 p.m. and then finishing at No. 3 UCLA on Friday (April 12) at 7:30 p.m. in a contest that will be shown live on Pac-12 Networks.

For some reason, the Mississippi Gulf Coast doesn't appear to draw the college recruiters like most areas of Mississippi. Jordan Ellis, a big, bruising middle linebacker in the mode of former Chicago Bears middle linebacker Dick Butkus, has a chance to change that this coming season.
Based on the interest he has received via recruiting letters, there are a lot of college coaches marking their road maps to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
"I've received letters from Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, Marshall, Rice, Vanderbilt, Illinois, Tennessee and Memphis," said Ellis, not only an accomplished player on the field but also an accomplished student in the classroom with a 3.0 GPA and a 22 ACT.
A versatile athlete who not only plays linebacker but also has the ability to play fullback, Ellis expects to play more fullback this year.
"Although I like linebacker more because I like to hit people, I am going to play both ways because our fullback last year was a senior," said Ellis, a starter for St. Stanislaus since his sophomore season.
With his recruiting heating up, Ellis knows attending college camps is a big part of the overall recruiting process. Because of that, he plans on attending several camps to help get his name out and to learn more about the colleges and college coaches that are showing the most interest in him.
"I've received camp brochures from Tennessee, LSU, Alabama, Ole Miss, Southern (Miss) and Mississippi State. I think I am going to go to Alabama's and LSU's camp," said the articulate youngster who was born on Christmas Day. "I'm also going to one of the (in-state) schools camps, but I'm not sure which one."
While the camps will go a long way in helping Ellis learn more about each college, he already has a tentative list of schools he is most interested in with one school a slight leader over the others.
"Alabama is probably number one on my list right now," said Ellis. "I also like Mississippi State, Ole Miss, LSU, Southern (Miss) and Vanderbilt."
Although he is still waiting for that first scholarship offer, as is 90 to 95% of all the junior football players in the nation, don't be surprised to see this big, strong, intelligent youngster start receiving offers once college coaches get a chance to see him play his senior season.

lava rock in vivarium
I am planning my vivarium (tropical), and im wondering if lava rock is safe and suitable for use in it as both the drainage layer and you "build" background eliments. I really like the look of it, its light weight and i can get it relativly cheap.
Lava rock should be fine. It's inert, and won't affect water chemistry (unless it's got other stones mixed in, or some sort of contamination, but I think that's somewhat rare).
My first paludarium build was just a bunch of lava rock siliconed together to create a background, waterfall, and ledge.
It was incredibly time consuming and heavy, but worked pretty well, didn't look bad, and moss loved growing on it.
Awesome! Thats what i was hoping for. You wouldnt happen to have pics of the setup youre talking about, would you? Id like to see some lava rock creations. What kind of silicone did you use or reccomend?
No, I don't, sorry. I had given the tank away over a decade ago.
I just used the standard aquarium-safe silicone, I believe it was just the GE windows&doors clear, but I'm not certain. went through several caulk-gun tubes.
I just bought a bag or two of lava rock at a hardware store/garden center, and then tried to piece them together sorta like building a stone wall, to minimize the gaps betwixt them.
I started by gluing in some pvc or something for the pump chamber/overflow, and a piece of tubing going to the opposite corner for the waterfall output.
Then I just laid the tank on it's back, and started siliconing lava rocks to the back pane and one of the sides. After that was done, I then built out a ledge at about water level, with a few pockets to hold substrate and terrestrial plants, built up the waterfall area, and built a pillar to support the ledge.
It's definitely lighter then bricks, but it can still get fairly heavy. I was just doing a 10 gallon, and the thing must of weighed about 40 lbs or so when I was done.
I'm currently messing with some pumice I bought at a landscape supply place (labeled 'Feather Rock') and considering using it in a paludarium/riparium I'm currently planning. Also lightweight, and it can be cut/shaped fairly easily (for a rock...).
Gorilla glue works great for joining lava rock too.

Stop the chaos that's ruling your life.
- End the never-ending control battles
- Stop repetitive, violent and severe blowouts
- Get cooperation from your child's school
- Have influence over the most resistant child
- Feel empowered instead of defeated
In this program, you'll learn:
- The fail-proof consequence: what it is and how to use it
- The 4-step approach that works with the ODD child or teen
- Ways to get your child to think about choices and make better ones
- How to hold your child accountable so you don't end up paying the price for his or her choices
- The secret to making consequences work
- How to deal effectively with school, police and court systems
- How to recover from the emotional exhaustion of parenting an ODD child

Q: My child's behavior is so bad! Will this program work with my child?
A: The ODD Lifeline program was developed out of the experience Kimberly Abraham and Marney Studaker-Cordner have in working with oppositional, defiant kids in both private practice and through court-ordered programs. In addition, Kim has a son with ODD. The techniques described in the program have helped numerous families to feel more in control, even if the child's behavior is more severe.
Q: My child has Conduct Disorder and is constantly in trouble with the law. How can this program help me?
A: This program is designed to help families with their child's behavior, even if the behavior has crossed the line from ODD to Conduct Disorder. The ODD Lifeline has an entire lesson devoted to teaching parents how to respond most effectively when the child is in trouble with the police, school, or has entered the legal system.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Long Island Sled Hockey Inc. - For the Differently-abled Athlete, Lynbrook, NY, USA
This team and organization has changed my son's life. He has a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy and is significantly physically disabled. As a result of the equipment accommodations and dedicated volunteers, my son is able to play hockey, be part of a team and experience the ups and downs that come with playing in competitive sports. Sled hockey gives him something to look forward to, has helped foster friendships and has given him a reason to work harder every day. We are honored to be a part of this team and could never thank the board enough for letting us be a part of this amazing organization.
Review for Long Island Sled Hockey Inc. - For the Differently-abled Athlete, Lynbrook, NY, USA
This program has changed our son's life. Chris' significant physical disability makes it nearly impossible to participate in any sports programs. We were introduced to sled hockey and could not believe it was a sport Chris could actually play. His sled and equipment were designed and adjusted to accommodate the limited range of motion Chis has in his arms. Thanks to the wonderful volunteers who push Chris on the ice, he is able to focus on managing the puck. Most importantly, Chris is actually part of a team and has developed friendships, responsibility and personal pride. We could never thank Bryan B and Frank M enough for giving Christopher this amazing opportunity and bringing so much pride and happiness to his life.
Review for Long Island Sled Hockey Inc. - For the Differently-abled Athlete, Lynbrook, NY, USA
This organization has changed my son's life and as a result, brought such pride and happiness into our home. Despite Christopher's significant physical disability, he is able to participate in an organized sport (with hockey happening to be his favorite) and be part of an actual team. Never would we have expected our son to experience the same comradery that the non disabled athlete would feel. Playing sled hockey takes Chris out of his disabled world and allows him to feel like a regular guy. The expectation for him to be a responsible player is a great character builder for Chris and the experience of winning, losing and earning playing time will help prepare Chris for the real world. There is not a negative thing that can be said about this organization or its coaches and volunteers.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello and thank you for using Just Answer,
In most cases, if you receive property for your services, you must include its fair market value in your income in the year you receive the property. However, if you receive stock or other property that has certain restrictions that affect its value, you do not include the value of the property in your income until it has been substantially vested. (You can choose to include the value of the property in your income in the year it is transferred to you rather than the year it is substantially vested.)
Until the property becomes substantially vested, it is owned by the person who makes the transfer to you, usually your employer. However, any income from the property, or the right to use the property, is included in your income as additional compensation in the year you receive the income or have the right to use the property. Property is substantially vested when:
It is transferable, or
It is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. (You do not have a good chance of losing it.)
Property is transferable if you can sell, assign, or pledge your interest in the property to any person (other than the transferor), and if the person receiving your interest in the property is not required to give up the property, or its value, if the substantial risk of forfeiture occurs.
You stated you are an expat. In true tax terms that means you have given up your citizenship or long term residency. Do you mean to say that you are not working in the US or have you filed all documents to relinquish your citizenship?
If you make the choice to include when you receive, the substantial vesting rules do not apply and, generally, any later appreciation in value is not included in your compensation when the property becomes substantially vested. Your basis for figuring gain or loss when you sell the property is the amount you paid for it plus the amount you included in income as compensation.

The poor stupid Hamasarat called War Monger alias Unreality is always best alias LIE beats himself Silly Silly! The imbecile stays on these boards day and night hiding behind different names to spread its Hamasarat terrorist support, hate and support for HamasArat terrorist acts being carried out by the Palestinian Hamas. The thing behind the name Liar beats himself silly is what is called a HamasaRAT (google it) basically it is a pro Hamas, Pro ASSADOMITE Anti-American government ANTI-JEWISH propagandist that is tasked with staying on boards like this to give a HAMASARATS AND ASSADARATS ANT-American government, ANTI-JEWISH, ANTI-THIS AND THAT push in all subjects. Its tactic mainly is to try and drown out all other truthful posts on here and replace them with its scripted HamasARAT lies and war mongering propaganda. Notice I said War Monger!

FILTHY DISGUSTING LIAR!! GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WEST!! How quickly everyone forgets!! Afghanistan was training terrorists responsible for murdering almost 4,000 American LIVES on 9/11. What are you saying clown?? Should weh have just stuck our heads in the sand and cried our little eyes out?? Not hardly!! Most Americans were for taking out terrorist training camps responsible for 4,000 American Deaths!! Did you happen to know that there was an invasion of Kuwait by Iraq and a UN sponsored Gulf War One?? Did you not know as usual that we had attacks on the Cole and American Embassies?? Did you not know as usual that we had two attacks on the World Trade Center and the second attack was on 9/11??? Did you not know as usual that we had Democrats voting to use force in Afghanistan and Iraq? Did you not know that Saddam had broken every U.N. Resolution and gave us every right to go back in? That Saddam had murdered hundreds of thousands of his own people in some cases using nerve agents (for you it would be called WMDs).

It's time to get what you want
May 19, 2014
I wanted to share a formula with you that has proven to help hundreds of thousands of people significantly increase their sales and substantially grow their businesses.
This formula will help you surpass your goals, improve relationships and can even help you get your health back. The good news is you can do it yourself. You don't have to buy anything or hire anyone to show you how to do it.
What is it you really want for yourself? What is the something you may have even given up on? Would you like to know the recipe that people follow who are getting what they want?
Here is the six step formula that you can follow:
1. Declare what you want. In Janet Atwood's book, "The Passion Test," she tells her readers, "When you are clear about what you want, what you want will show up, and only to the extent you are clear." Most people don't have what they want because they simply are not clear. Once you get clear, declare it to yourself and any stakeholders that can help hold you accountable to making it happen. This kind of leverage is powerful.
2. Be willing to do whatever it takes (legally, morally and ethically) to make it happen. One of the most decisive factors in people's success or failure is their degree of willingness. It is will, not skill, that takes people to the top. There are plenty of gifted and talented people who are not willing to pay the price and therefore not achieving their goals on a consistent basis. Oftentimes you will find you don't actually have to do the something you may be fearing. However, just by being willing to do that something, it can move you to the next level toward your achievement.
3. Create a ritual. There is incredible power in ritual. In Albert E.N. Gray's book, "The Common Denominator of Success," he lets us in on the secret that "Successful people make it a habit of doing the things unsuccessful people are not willing to do." There is that "willing" word again. Habits are another key.
Nowhere in his book does he say the successful people necessarily like doing those things failures are not willing to do. Successful people do, however, make it a habit. In any accomplishment of a goal there were repetitive actions that needed to be executed in order for its achievement. Identify the necessary habits you need to develop. Build them into your day.
4. Be content. No matter where you find yourself, there you are. There doesn't need to be a story about where you think you should be or need to be right now. You are where you are. Just realize it is your starting point.
Shift your focus from what you don't have to what you do have. Shift your focus from what's wrong to what's right. When you appreciate what you have and what's going right you will feel more empowered. When you are more empowered, you can do more and do better. By the way, shifting your focus is a great habit to create for yourself.
5. Take action. Elvis Presley had it right with his 1968 hit — A little less conversation and a lot more action. There is work that each of your goals is screaming for you to do so it can come into the world. Pay attention to the conversation and take a lot more action.
6. Celebrate progress. Don't get stuck in perfection. Look for the progress. At the end of each day, celebrate the progress you made toward your objectives. What tasks did you complete? What relationships did you establish or deepen? What did you learn? If you journal your progress every day and review what you have accomplished on a weekly basis, you will start to feel more and more inspired.
Inspired people get what they want.
Make it up, make it fun and make it happen!

Italy climate
Italy's climate is temperate with some regional fluctuations. Northern Italy enjoys warm summers with some rainfall, and cold and foggy winters. In the Alps, snow can fall as early as mid-September and winters are long and cold.Central Italy's summers are hot and humid, and the winter temps plummet towards freezing.Southern Italy has hot and dry summers and mild winters.
When to fly to Italy
Peak Season:
June to September is high season in the beach resorts and December through April is ski season. In the cities, peak season runs from April to October. June and July are particularly busy, despite high temperatures and high humidity. Flights to Italy and accommodation are in high demand around Christmas and New Year's. Venice is thronged with tourists during Carnival (February).
Off Season:
Italy's low season is, in general, between November and mid-December and January through March. Many Italians will take August off, closing their shops and businesses.
Shoulder Season:
April and May, and, after the high summer season, September through October are shoulder months when you won't find too many fellow tourists and the weather will most likely be pleasant.
Getting around Italy
If driving around Italy (perhaps on an iconic Vespa scooter) think like the Italians. They have a saying: "there is the law, and then there is your intelligence." Keep your wits about you when you're driving.
Walking is the best way to see Italy's finest cities, but be prepared for all those cobblestones - stilettos are a no- no.
Public transport is good in Rome and Milan. There are underground trains, buses, and trams. Florence and Bologna have good bus networks. In Venice you have to take a water bus or ferry, it is a must-do.
Taxis are readily available in most cities; water taxis in Venice. Bologna's one-way street system is convoluted and taking a taxi there can be pricey.
Trains are extensive throughout the country. The so-called industrial north is better connected with all types of transport (trains and low-cost airlines) than the rural south.
Ferry services between the mainland and the islands are regular. It's a wonderfully slow way to travel.
Italy insider information
- The Aosta Valley - you'll need to take three cable cars to view the entire valley, but it's worth it.
- Florence is an important centre for fashion, but you'll need your platinum credit card. Via Tornabuoni is home to Gucci and Pucci, Prada and Louis Vuitton, and Ferragamo and Versace. But a mere 30-minute drive will get you to The Mall where you can stock up on discounted Gucci, Ferragamo and Yves Saint Laurent.
- Puglia, one of Italy's less-discovered regions, is renowned for its sandy beaches and azure-blue waters, simple, fresh local produce and centuries-old architecture and art. A morning spent biking along the olive tree-lined roads, followed by a hearty lunch of linguine studded with mussels straight off the boat, and an afternoon dip in Portoselvaggio cove and a view of the Duomo church in Lecce all lit up at night makes for a pretty perfect day.
- In Naples, in a recent trial, 70 former convicts (such as drug traffickers, con men and muggers) were hired by the city authorities to help tourists get around the city safely. The guides would warn bling-toting tourists to hide their jewellery or be more discreet with their cash.
- Never drink cappuccino after lunch. No self-respecting Italian would do that. Also, do as the Italians do and drink your morning coffee standing up in the coffee shops. You'll fit right in and pay about a third of what you would pay if you drink it at one of the tables outside. And take a siesta around lunchtime. When in Rome...

Mediating Welfare Ethics:Selectivity Or Universalism?
Schooneveldt, Simon P. (2003) Mediating Welfare Ethics:Selectivity Or Universalism? In Bradley, Rebecca, Lyddon, Jeff, & Buys, Laurie (Eds.) Social Change in the 21st Century, 21 November 2003, QUT, Brisbane.
|PDF (222kB)
This paper explores some of the underpinning ideologies that drive Australia's selective income support system, by examining the ethical justifications used to support targeted welfare systems such as Mutual Obligation. Such justifications for selectivity will be compared with the ethical justifications that are used to promote the concept of Universalism for income support, a concept that has been attracting increasing attention in social science circles internationally. At an ideological level, Universalism in welfare also has compelling arguments for implementation, particularly in the form known as the Universal Basic Income Guarantee or Basic Income for short. The underpinning ideologies for each income support system are explored so that their ethical justifications may be examined in a compare and contrast format. Such a format facilitates a beginning mediation between some of the competing ethical claims used, so as to clarify positions and develop greater understanding about income support system implementation debates.

lincoln transmission harsh
better put thread here instead of engine forum ( woops ) just rebuilt the engine on my daily driver 2000 towncar and the trans at first just felt odd can`t really say what it was but just didn`t feel right ! all shifts have now got very harsh but no DTC`s have been set ! i have been told that its the pressure solonoid playing up but the previous owner says this was renewed 12 months ago ! is it likely to have gone this soon ? fluid still looks and smells new ! the other thing i have been advised is to check the internal wiring loom in the box as being push fit this can sometimes give problems ! opinions anyone ? any help would be great as its hard to get advise this side of the pond
I would suggest a scan of the vehicle with a quality scanner as a starting point. A scanner that reads the data stream as the vehicle drives.
if only
would love a quality scanner as mine will get into everything bar the trans and the abs ! unfortunately i don`t have access to one and in this country they are few and far between if there is anyone in south east england reading this that has one please lemme know ! even the local limo company doesn`t have one with that sort of capability . untill one is located is there anything else i can do as i am concerned about damaging the box and drivetrain :sweat:

Creating boxes in text cells.
This may seem trivial, but it has a big impact on how usable Mathematica is
for me. I currently use a pallet to paste:
BoxMargins->{{0.2, 0.2}, {0.4, 0.4}}], TraditionalForm]]]
into my text cells, and leave all my mathematical expressions wrapped up in
frame boxes. It may be ugly, but it is consistent.
I want to be able to type a paragraph of mathematical prose containing both
English text and mathematical expressions of one line height (i.e.,
in-line). If I type `\[Epsilon]', for example, it is immediately replaced
by the character symbol for the Greek letter. If I type `yCtrl+^x' in an
otherwise empty text cell, the following results when I `Ctrl+Shift+e' the
SuperscriptBox["y", "x"], TraditionalForm]]]], "Text"]
This is pretty much what I want. The font in which the "x" is displayed is
different from an x which would be displayed if I simply type the
character 'x'. That, in itself, is a good thing. Many symbols appearing
in in-line expressions are displayed differently from their "raw text"
counterparts. If I type `x=y', the result is a "raw text" sequence of
Cell["x=y", "Text"]
This is _not_ what I want. I want what is displayed by the cell containing
the following.
RowBox[{"x", "=", "y"}], TraditionalForm]]]], "Text"]
I can do something such as `xCtrl+^', and then delete the "\[Placeholder]"
in the resulting expression. That leaves me with:
FormBox["x", TraditionalForm]]]], "Text"]
which I can then extend to:
RowBox[{"x", "=", "y"}], TraditionalForm]]]], "Text"]
by typing in the natural fashion.
Is there a way I can get "Cell[BoxData[FormBox["\[Placeholder]",
TraditionalForm]]]" to appear on at the entry cursor using a key
combination similar to what happens if I type `Ctrl+^'?
If I type out the \!(...\) representation, it does not "snap into place" as
rendered text. Nor do I know of any way to persuade it to do so.
Also, if I have already typed something such as "y=x", and decide I want it
displayed as expression text rather than raw text, is there a way to
highlight it, and "wrap" it in the appropriate boxes?

Facebook Postings Earn Government Official a "Dislike"
The U.S. Attorney's office in Beaumont is looking into recent Facebook posts made by a federal prosecutor which targeted Obama supporters and made fun of the Trayvon Martin case.
"The problem the Department Of Justice is dealing with right now is how can he be an effective prosecutor when he is posting caustic matters about his boss?"
KTRH legal analyst Chris Tritico believes John Craft was well within the law, but he's still created an administrative headache.
"The issue becomes, when you work in the Justice Department do you give up that First Amendment right to speak out in this fashion when it affects your ability to do your job?"
Among the comments Craft posted was that "low information voters carried the day for the Dalibama in the last election" along with a graphic reading: "Obama: Why Stupid People Shouldn't Vote."

Enhancing students' problem solving through diagram use
Diezmann, Carmel M. (2002) Enhancing students' problem solving through diagram use. Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 7(3), pp. 4-8.
|PDF (156kB)
'Draw a diagram' is one of the strategies that teachers often suggest to students who are having difficulty with a problem. However, despite the value of diagrams in problem solving, many students are reluctant to 'draw a diagram' and need to be taught how to draw effective diagrams that represent the problem information. This paper presents an overview of four general purpose diagrams that are particularly helpful in mathematical problem solving. It also describes an instructional program on general purpose diagrams that was implemented with ten-year-olds. Providing students with explicit instruction about diagrams enables them to capitalise on the cognitive advantages of diagram use in problem solving.

Vessel Registration
Selling / Buying a Used Boat: What Documents Do I Give the Buyer / Receive from the Seller?
The documents that will later be used to transfer or register a boat in Georgia from a private sale may vary, depending if the boat is already registered in Georgia, and if the seller is the owner of record on the Georgia registration. There are many possible scenarios, but these below are the most common.
Owners of Georgia registered boats must notify the Department, in writing, of sale or transfer, theft or recovery, or destruction or abandonment of a boat within 15 days. Additional information.
