First Look: Cocktails (and Breathing Fire) at Bergerac in San Francisco
Preview brand-new spots to drink (or fresh new menu items) here.
Note: First Looks give previews of new drinks and menus we're curious about. Since they are arranged photo shoots, we do not make critical evaluations or recommendations.
Bergerac officially opened today just down the block from Bar Agricole in SOMA. The menu from Russell Davis—who worked at Rickhouse and designed the drinks at The Ice Cream Bar, and who's currently a co-star of Spike TV's "Bar Rescue"—was designed around common customer requests. "I based these cocktails on what people ask for when you're behind the bar," said Davis. "They say, 'I want something refreshing,' or 'I don't want something too strong,' or 'I want a f*cking shot.'"
So Davis divided the menu into a few sections: approachable drinks, complex drinks ('these have funky flavors or weird stuff, and they're more about technique'), high octane shots, lower-alcohol drinks, and 'social drinks' meant for sharing, served in a large pitcher-style shaker.
It may have been awhile since you've seen a dirty shaken vodka martini at a brand-new cocktail bar, but you'll find one on the menu at Bergerac. "No one wants to touch that drink anymore. But if you do it well, that drink is good," notes Davis, who garnishes the cocktail with a dehydrated green olive and adds a little celery shrub to amp up the savory flavor. "We're trying not to make anyone feel bad about what they're ordering," he emphasizes.
Davis sprays a mezcal drink with a moonshine tobacco tincture for aroma, flavors another with a Vadouvan spice blend, and attempts to "take barrel aging too far" by serving local bourbon from St. George Spirits finished in a barrel that has aged a Manhattan cocktail. "It's kind of fun," says Davis of the experiment. "I want to give guests the best experience, and I want them to have fun—that's all I care about."
To that end, you might also catch the bar team (which is headed up by national Speed Rack champion Yael Vengroff) throwing bottles or even breathing fire—Davis has a background in flair bartending.
He did a little demo for us, and shared one important piece of advice—beyond 'really don't try this at home'—"The key is to not freak out. Don't panic ever. Even if you're on fire."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures closed lower Tuesday, after a choppy session, with some strength in the dollar pressuring prices as concerns over the U.S. fiscal cliff and the euro-zone debt crisis kept investors on edge. Gold for December GCZ22, -0.13% delivery fell $6.10, or 0.4%, to settle at $1,724.80 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. "We see a risk on/off cycle developing as no one knows exactly what to expect with the ensuing [U.S.] fiscal cliff deadline," said Jason Rotman, president of Lido Isle Advisors, a Newport Beach, Calif.-based alternative investment firm. "As we have previously noted, we believe gold is strongly supported below $1,700." December palladium paz2 jumped 4.7% and January platinum plj3 added 1.3% after a Johnson Matthey report forecast supply deficits for both metals this year.
Gold futures end lower, down over $6 an ounce

text: Hi, I just tried CheckInstall and found it pretty handy. But there are some features I would like to have: - the checkinstallrc file should be at {prefix}/etc/checkinstallrc, not {prefix}/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc, because it isn't a lib, it is a config file. - GNU readline support would be cool - a would like to tell the config-file not to create a doc-dir, i.e. turning the doc-pak off in checkinstallrc - Would be quite cool to tell checkinstall the deps of a archive. Just me 2c. Heiner


text: Gevenalle creates component solutions that address many of the typical equipment shortfalls that have limited cyclocross racers for decades. Their rear BURD (Blatantly Upgraded Rebranded Derailleur) takes a tough, no-nonsense road derailleur and makes it 'cross-ready. To do this, the "goats" at Gevenalle disassemble each derailleur and adjust the chain tension spring to deliver 25% more force, keeping your chain planted when the course turns to muddy, rutted chop. Then, they repack the derailleurs with premium Phil Wood grease and install upgraded pulleys for long-lasting smooth service in rough conditions. The result is a precise derailleur that performs better and lasts longer on the cyclocross circuit than regular road derailleurs.

If peripherals as mundane as cable boxes and portable hard drives can draw the attention of artists and fashion designers, then certainly a home audio system can too. And if the photo accompanying this item is any indication, Olive Media isn't shy to make a splash of its own.
The company has updated its highly regarded line of digital servers with a model that features the artwork of designer Karim Rashid. The "Opus Nº5 Karim Edition" comes in four variations, which are explained in classic art-speak by the creator himself: "I designed four unique digital graphics patterns symbolic of our corybantic digital age. Omni-directional like sound, the patterns emphasize the 'voluminous' beats that radiate from music. The repeated elements are symbolic of binary notation enveloping a perfect container of sound."
We had to look up "corybantic" in the dictionary and got this helpful definition: "being in the spirit or manner of a Corybant." Thanks a lot, Messrs. Merriam and Webster.

Osteo-Arthritis (Degenerative Joint Disease) is the most common form
of arthritis, affecting about one out of every six Americans, including
80 percent of persons over the age of 70. Most have few, if any associated
symptoms, and the disease is diagnosed only because X rays of the vertebrae
show characteristic spurs or because the fingers are knobbed by bony proliferations
(Heberden's nodes) at the distal interphalangeal joints. In some the spurs
encroach on nerves as they emerge from the spinal canal and produce nerve-root
syndromes. In others, the malpositioned joints are a source of ligamentous
strain and abnormal muscular tension. The result is pain that becomes worse
as the day goes on.
These degenerative processes are in part caused by wear and tear. They affect
primarily weight-bearing joints and joints subject to trauma or to malpositioned
anatomy. Joints damaged by other forms of arthritis are prone to later degenerative
joint disease. Heberden's nodes are more prominent in the right hand of
right-handed individuals and in the fingers of typists. Traumas produce
microfractures in the cartilage that lines the articulating surfaces exposing
raw underlying bone. The bone cells then release enzymes that destroy the
protein and polysaccharide components of bone. Frayed pieces of cartilage
may be taken up by white blood cells and thus add an element of inflammation.
A number of predisposing factors can hasten this degenerative process, even
in young people. If these are in play then the preventive work suggested
below is vital. They include:
Menyanthes trifoliata 2 parts
(Harpagophytum procumbens)
Filipendula ulmaria 11/2 parts
(Salix spp.)
Cimicifuga racemosa 1 part
Zanthoxylum americanum 1 part
Apium graveolens 1 part
Angelica archangelica 1 part
Achillea millefolium 1 part in tincture to 5ml.
three times a day
(Harpagophytum & Salix may be used as equivalent alternatives
if necessary)
Known as Activities of Daily Living (A.D.L.) devices, they are the field
of Occupational Therapists and other physical therapy specialists. More
information can be obtained through the publications of the National Arthritis
Foundation and local official agencies on aging.

Outlook 2010 Email To Field Auto Complete Not Working, Import NK2 Outlook 2010
I recently completed a reinstall of Windows 7 on my Dell laptop and have been having to reconfigure everything for a couple days to get back up and running the same way I was before the reinstall. One thing I decided to actually upgrade in the process was Microsoft Office from MS Office 2007 to MS Office 2010. So far it appears that Office 2010 is much less bulky than 2007 so I am really happy with the upgrade choice even though typically during a reinstall I try not to upgrade many things so if there are any problems it is easier to isolate the issues. One thing that changed in Office 2010 was the nickname cache or the use of NK2 files so you have to actually import your NK2 file into Outlook 2010 for nicknames to start working. Follow the directions below to import your NK2 file into Outlook 2010.

In Part I, we read all the information in the borders and Title Block of the chart. Here, in Part II, we will note that there are other features of the chart you must know and understand. Fortunately, when you look at the chart itself, you will find important standard features that make it easy for you to understand the information being portrayed.
They are:
Colors. On NOAA charts, land is usually colored yellow, tidal flats greenish yellow and shoal areas are tinted blue. A light green or purple tint indicates areas that have been swept clean with a wire drag. These areas are outlined with a broken limiting line and the clear depth is indicated with a characteristic symbol under the numbers. White areas on the chart are considered the high seas.
On electronic charts, a variety of other color schemes may be used. Raster scanned NOAA charts use the standard NOAA color scheme, but raster scanned charts for other countries use the standard color scheme of the country of origin. Vector charts use a color scheme determined by the manufacturer and are usually close to the NOAA chart colors for US areas. The colors you see displayed on your screen will vary depending on the manufacturer, your color palette settings and the intensity and contrast settings.
Contour lines and Soundings. Lines connecting points of equal depth or elevation are called contour lines. The solid black line next to coastlines indicates the mean high water mark. The first contour line seaward from the shoreline is the 6-foot (2 meters or 1 fathom) line. The next contour line seaward from the 6-foot line is the 18-foot (5 meters or 3 fathoms) line. From the shore line to this contour line is considered shoal area and is often tinted in blue. Additional contour lines are spaced at appropriate intervals out to the 100-fathom line. A broken contour line is used whenever the reliability of the depth contour is questionable.
Numbers denote individual soundings: they may be in either standard upright font or italics. Both types of lettering may be used on the same chart to distinguish between sounding data obtained from different surveys, different datums or from smaller scale charts. Standard type is used for features which are dry at high water while italics is reserved for underwater and floating features. This general rule is true for all lettering on a chart except for numbers used to show heights, elevations and soundings. By evaluating the type of lettering you can easily determine if a feature is visible at high tide. For example, if the name of a rock is given in standard font letters, it constitutes a small islet; if its name is in italic letters, the rock is a reef that is covered at high tide.
Soundings shown are the least depths to be expected under average conditions. Most NOS charts of US waters are based upon mean lower low water. You will also see soundings based on mean low water or mean low water springs. When we get to the section on tides and currents, I will cover these sounding datums in more detail. For now, just be aware that there will be times when the actual depth of water is less than what is shown on the chart.
Chart Abbreviations and symbols. Chart No. 1 is not a chart at all, but a book containing a key to all of the chart symbols. Subjects covered include general features, topography, hydrography and aids to navigation. There is also a complete index of abbreviations and an explanation of the IALA buoyage system used in US waters. You need to be familiar with most of these symbols as it is not always apparent what these symbols represent. Many of them you need to know by heart to avoid dangers, especially the ones for rocks, wrecks, tide rips, eddies, piles, dolphins, snags, fish stakes and fish traps. For example you need to know the difference between a * symbol and a + symbol, especially when an * also has an underlined number enclosed in parentheses next to it: i.e., *(2). This is a rock that is covered at high tide and protrudes above the sounding datum by the indicated number of feet.
Aids to Navigation: This subject requires a separate article to cover in detail and will be featured in our next discussion . I highly recommend the various seamanship courses taught by the US Coast Guard and US Power Squadrons for you to become totally familiar with the US Buoyage System and use of these navaids. I also suggest that you read and study the chapter on Aids to Navigation in Bowditch, using Chart No. 1 and your local area chart familiarize yourself with the symbols. Aids to Navigation are shown by symbols listed in Sections P through S in Chart No. 1.
On the chart, aids to navigation symbols are exaggerated in size relative to the chart's scale. "Position Approximate" circles are used on floating aids to indicate that their location varies around the mooring. The type and number of aides to navigation shown on a chart and the amount of information given varies with the scale of the chart.
Light houses and other navigation lights are shown as black dots with purple disks or as purple flare symbols. Small triangles mark red daybeacons and small squares mark all others. A variety of buoy symbols are used to show the different types of navaids on the chart and a legend element in italic type near the buoy symbol provides details about the buoy. There is no significance to the angle at which a buoy symbol appears on the chart: it is arranged to avoid interference with other chart details or features.
Miscellaneous Chart Features:. Compass roses are placed at convenient locations on Mercator charts to make it easier to plot bearings and courses with the parallel ruler. The outer circle is graduated in degrees with zero (360) at true north. The inner circle is also graduated in degrees but it is measured from magnetic north. In the center of the compass rose you will see the magnetic variation along with the annual change. When a chart is reprinted, the magnetic information is updated to the latest epoch.
Usual or average currents are sometimes shown on charts with the arrow's pointer giving the direction of flow and numbers showing the current's speed. Depending on tides and weather conditions, direction and speed of any current may differ considerably from what is shown on the chart.
Anchorage areas are labeled with a variety of magenta, black or green lines and anchorage berths are shown as purple circles. Spoil areas are shown with short broken lines, and on NOS charts they are also tinted blue and labeled. These areas contain no soundings and should be avoided.
Land areas, with spot elevations, cities, roads, commercial radio stations and prominent landmarks are also shown on the chart if they can be of value to the mariner for bearings. Later in this series covering coastal navigation, I will go into detail as to how to use the symbols ashore to help determine your position.

Country-crossover-singer-songwriter and America's unicorn Taylor Swift very likely touched footballer and rumored Te-beau Tim Tebow's Te-boner last month, but he was too busy being a virgin (or maybe being a virgin in the company of Dianna Agron) to hold her interest. She may have moved on with Mark Foster, lead singer of Foster The People. Creepers in Los Angeles caught them dining al fresco at Cafe Roma on Thursday and leaving separately to avoid tabloid speculation. The "Pumped Up Kicks" hitmaker was recently linked to Michelle Trachtenberg, while Sweet Baby Tay has had high-profile flings with literally all the conventional-looking Hollywood pretty boys you can shake a stick at, plus something called a John Mayer, which I hear is a type of fungus that grows inside an unwashed coffee cup in the heat.

Sione Lauaki made his All Blacks Test debut off the bench in the team's 91–0 demolition of Fiji at Albany in 2005 and went on to play six more Tests in that year. A remarkable athlete for a player of his size, 'Wax' as he is known to teammates is a dangerous runner off the back of the scrum or ruck or in the open field, and puts his strength and physical presence to good use on defence also. Lauaki returns to the Chiefs for his fourth season. In the middle of the 2006 Chiefs season Lauaki tore his pectoral muscle in a match against the Bulls. After recovering from surgery in the middle of the year, he returned to top form during Waikato's successful 2006 Air New Zealand Cup campaign. He joins wing Sitiveni Sivivatu in playing both for and against New Zealand in a 12-month span after making his international debut for the Pacific Islanders team against in 2004. He is another player from Auckland's Kelston Boys' High School where he made the First XV in 1998. He was selected for the Auckland Secondary Schools B team in the same year and followed on to make the A team in 1999 and 2000. He represented the New Zealand Colts in 2001 and 2002 and made his Air New Zealand NPC debut for Auckland in 2002. Career Notes • Scored Test match tries for the Pacific Islanders against Australia, New Zealand and South Africa within a 15-day period in 2004, a feat without precedent. Just 13 other players have scored tries against all three teams in their lifetime. • Transfered from Auckland to Waikato before the 2005 season. • Played for Auckland Secondary Schools 1998, 1999 and 2000. • Twice scored tries against England Under 21. Other tries for New Zealnd Under 21 were against Japan and Wales Under 21. • His brother Hame Lauaki plays for the New Zealand Warriors in the NRL. New Zealand Representative Teams New Zealand Under 21 in 2001, 2002 All Blacks in 2005, 2007-2008

All new hardware has growing pains, and the new Nexus 7 is no exception. Here at Ars, we ran into a GPS lock issue with the device, and other owners have reported erratic multitouch behavior. When placing more than one finger on the screen, a multitouch test app would show the screen registering phantom touches, swapping touch points, and continuing to register a touch point after the user's finger was removed. Besides the odd behavior in testing apps, the poor multitouch detection also caused problems with typing for some users.
Google representative "Paulw" has been dropping details for this update all over the Google product forums. In one thread, he made the touchscreen announcement:
Hi everyone,As a couple of you have mentioned, there's a new system update that's started rolling out for your Nexus 7s. This update does address the touchscreen issues discussed in this thread. If you're one of the people experiencing touchscreen issues, please let us know how it's going after you've received and installed the update.
In another thread he announced the GPS fix:
Hi everyone,Thank you for your patience while we've been working on this. As Justin mentioned, there is a new over-the-air update for Nexus 7 rolling out now that addresses the GPS issue discussed here. We look forward to hearing feedback about your GPS experience after you've received the update.
And later he confirmed the build number: JSS15Q.
If you don't have it yet and can't download it, just remember that Google likes to slowly roll these updates out to devices. It might take a few days for everyone to receive it. If you'd like to install it yourself, Google is hosting the update image on developers.google.com.

Pick A Paint Scheme for MartinsvillePosted by in General
Starting today, through midnight (ET) on March 17th, NASCAR fans have the chance to help pick the paint scheme of two special cars that will be showcased in the pre-race show for the Goody's Fast Relief 500 run on April 3rd, 2011.
As part of the Pick A Powder campaign rivalry between Richard Petty (representing Goody's and The Victory Junction Gang) and Trace Adkins (representing BC and The Wounded Warriors Project), two sets of cars (two cars for the Victory Junction Gang Camp and two for Wounded Warriors Project) were designed by representatives chosen by the charities with the help of accomplished NASCAR artist Sam Bass.
The Victory Junction Gang Camp cars were created by Eleanor Bolton, a Victory Junction Gang camper and second grader from Davidson, North Carolina. She is eight years of age and has a medical condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a motor neuron disease that affects the voluntary muscles that are used for activities such as crawling, walking, head and neck control, and swallowing. These are her designs:
The Wounded Warrior Project cars were created by Cory Collins who was wounded 27 days into his first tour of duty in Iraq in 2005 when the truck he was in ran over a 500 lb IED. Collins was the only survivor in his truck. He spent five years going through surgeries and treatments trying to mend 30 broken or shattered bones, he ended up having to have his leg amputated in 2010. Within 34 days, Collins was walking again with the assistance of a prosthetic leg. These are his designs:
NASCAR fans can vote for their favorite paint scheme for each car by going to either the facebook page for Goody's or the Facebook Page for BC. Like the page and click on the PICK A PAINT SCHEME link. You can then vote for one of the Victory Junction Paint schemes and one of the Wounded Warriors paint schemes.
You will then get to check out which cars won on the pre-race show at Martinsville Speedway on April 3rd.
Fans who live in areas where Goody's and BC Powders are sold (they aren't sold here on the west coast), fans have yet another way to support both charities. Adkins and Wounded Warrior Project are currently featured on specially-marked boxes of BC, and Petty and Victory Junction on select boxes of Goody's. With each purchase made until March 31 of the BC and Goody's specially-marked boxes, fans will help to give back to the organization affiliated with each brand.

Posted October 12th, 2010 by Joel Gurin - Chief of the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau
No one should be without access to vital emergency services and community resources because they can't afford it.
Using the telephone has become such a routine part of our lives that many of us take for granted that we can pick up a phone and be in contact with family, schools, friends, employers, doctors, emergency services – that we have the ability to stay connected with the rest of the world. But it is critical that we not leave behind those who are struggling to get basic telephone service and need help to get and stay connected. Some vulnerable consumers can't even dial 911 in an emergency.
No one should be without access to vital emergency services and community resources because they can't afford it.
The Lifeline and Link-Up programs of the Universal Service Fund ensure that all Americans can get basic telephone service by providing limited discounts to consumers who might not otherwise be able to afford service. Lifeline involves discounts on the monthly charges, and Link-Up involves a discount on the cost of initiating telephone service. The discounts are available for the primary residential telephone, even if it's a wireless phone. Many eligible consumers including senior citizens, people with disabilities, veterans and their families, non-English speaking and those living in rural areas and Tribal lands are facing hard economic times, long and short-term. There are eligible consumers for the Lifeline and Link-Up programs in every state. But only one-third of eligible Americans participate. To find out how the Lifeline and Link-Up programs work in your state go to LifelineSupport.org.
At the FCC, we're constantly looking for ways to improve what have already been two very valuable programs. Teaming up with our partners, the National Association of Regulatory tility Commissioners (NARUC) and the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates (NASUCA), we began a stepped up nation-wide Lifeline outreach effort to reach out to educate and raise public awareness of and participation in the Lifeline and Link-Up programs, beginning with the second annual "National Telephone Discount Lifeline Awareness Week."
We kicked off Awareness Week 2010 on September 13 with a congressional staff briefing on Capitol Hill. The take away I got was that everyone has a part to play in spreading the word to those who need and qualify for these important programs. I was particularly struck by the remarks of one of my fellow speakers, Mark Andersen, Director of the "We are Family Senior Outreach Network" in Washington DC. Talking about the vulnerable low income seniors he and his volunteers help serve, he cautioned everyone in the audience to consider that the word "Lifeline" is "not hyperbole." He reminded that for many, the telephone is their lifeline - that the senior citizens with whom he and his volunteers work generally live on about $800 a month and struggle with being able to stay connected.
The Lifeline and Link-Up programs offer the 43 million Americans now living at or below the poverty line a means to get connected and pay for basic telephone service immediately. Our goal in the coming year is to promote awareness nation-wide through education and outreach to assure that the message reaches those that need it. For more, including outreach tools on getting out the word, go to www.lifeline.gov.
On September 14, Representative Doris Matsui for herself and Representative Edward Markey submitted House Resolution 1616 which expressed the support of Congress for Awareness Week and commended the FCC, NARUC, and NASUCA for their initiative creating Awareness Week to promote Lifeline and Link-Up subscribership. NARUC President David Coen of Vermont issued a statement in support of the resolution.
In an accompanying guest blog post, New York State Public Service Commissioner, Patricia Acampora, makes clear what is at stake: "Telephone service provides a vital link to family, friends, employment, commercial opportunity and emergency services".
At the FCC, we're also looking at ways to improve these programs from the consumer's perspective. Consumers have filed complaints about billing, enrollment, equipment, customer service and more. We'll be taking a closer look at all these issues over the coming year.
Finally, we're looking at ways to use Lifeline and Link-Up to help close the digital divide. A national survey done for the Broadband Plan showed that only 40% of Americans with annual household incomes below $20,000 have adopted broadband, and that cost is a major barrier to getting broadband service.
The National Broadband Plan, which the FCC released in March, recommended increasing broadband adoption among low-income Americans through reforms of the Lifeline and Link-Up programs to help support broadband service. It recommended that the FCC integrate the expanded Lifeline and Link-Up programs with other state and local e-government efforts. It also recommended that state social service agencies should take a more active role in consumer outreach and in qualifying eligible consumers. The FCC is looking into facilitating pilot programs to help make these changes happen.
We have some real opportunities to make Lifeline and Link-Up even more efficient, effective, and helpful to consumers. We are asking for everyone's help to get out the word to assure that eligible low-income households know about the assistance they can get to "stay connected."
Join the discussion to help improve the FCC. Your suggestions, ideas and comments will be part of a public discussion that furthers FCC reform.

One too many rums?Originally Posted by superkingdave
Yeah. I don't mind them or the noise, though I usually associate the songs and so on more with ODI cricket than test cricket. It's funny watching older test cricket clips, even into the early 90s, because of how quiet the crowd is compared to these days. I was watching the 1989 Ashes the other day, and the crowd was just dead silent until a boundary was hit or a wicket fell, in which case there was polite clapping.Originally Posted by Matteh
ODIs from the 80s are the opposite though.
It's cold on the outside they say
But the cold leaves you clear while the heat leaves a haze
Funny you should say that, I find it's completely the opposite in England. There is generally more going on in the field at a faster pace in ODIs, so there is less banter, songs, chants etc from the crowd.Originally Posted by FaaipDeOiad
Anyone listen on radio when they interviewed one of the Barmy Army and they dropped the F word. Awkward radio. Made me laugh stacks.
Rest In Peace Craigos
That may be the case now, but I don't think it used to be. If you watch older videos of cricket the crowd is always quieter and more dignified in test cricket, particularly in England, while ODI cricket is usually quite noisy. The exception to this is the West Indies, where the crowd always seems to have made a hell of a lot of noise.Originally Posted by Jungle Jumbo
From the Tele a story about the Barmy Army bugler being ejected for playing his instrument, no warning straight out, and two more evicted for trying to start a Mexican Wave.
You know it makes sense.
Have they banned the mexican wave againOriginally Posted by archie mac
Don't go chasing waterfalls
It said in the paper that the police said it is illegal here (QLD), not sure if that is for the whole of the Country?Originally Posted by GoT_SpIn

Why is the Mexican wave illegal?Originally Posted by archie mac
Sad to see that the Barmy Army reckon they're not enjoying the test much and some of them even saying they might go home early or tell people yet to come out not to bother.
The inability for them to get seats as a block seems to have killed the mob mentality required to sing and jump up and down for 7 hours straight in searing heat, and there doesn't seem to have been much singing or chanting.
The trumpet player getting thrown out is pathetic! I thought this was a free country - the bloody fun police at Australian stadiums really give me the irrits. I have no problem with strict controls on alcohol and on racial or violent misbehaviour, but why are musical instruments banned? God knows, we wouldn't want people to be having fun at the cricket!
The quote I saw from the organiser of the BA was that "we didn't pay thousands to come out here and be treated like school-kids", and its hard to disagree with him! We're happy to have them over here spending their money, but apparently we don't want any audible support in the crowd for the Poms! (And its only really been noticeable in the past because the BA were the only buggers who showed up for days 3,4, and 5 - as if they would have been that noticeably loud as 8000 people out of a packed 40000 strong crowd)
GOOD OLD COLLINGWOOD - PREMIERS IN 2010Originally Posted by Irfan
Is Cam White, Is Good.
And they're not just sulking about the score - that's never worried the blighters in the past!
I think the problem security have with the mexican wave is that it usually involves the plastic beer cups being thrown in the air. As the day goes on they get thrown with alcohol intact and families, the eldery etc. don't appreciate being showered with beer.
The treatment of the barmy army is pretty ordinary. I don't know why they are so strict with the instruments, let them all sit together in a bay and it isn't a problem.
I think the officials are mistreating them because every time they come out here, all us Aussies get quite embarressed that "aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi" is the extent of our crowds repertoire.
I personally go to the cricket to watch cricket, not sing and dance like an idiot, but you can't fault their passion or commitment.
I think part of it is also that desperate need to do something that cops seem to have in a lot of situations. With all the panic about racial abuse, violence etc at the grounds they are basically cracking down on everything and ignoring the fact that the crowds have been quite well behaved. The idea that someone would be kicked out of the ground for playing music is just stupid, and I really don't think it would have happened to anyone other than the Barmy Army.

Lady Gaga Tops Forbes Celebrity 100 List
Lady Gaga is officially more powerful than Oprah. So says Forbes, anyway.
On Wednesday, the magazine released its annual Celebrity 100 List, on which the Queen Monster ranked number one.
Forbes cites the $90 million Gaga earned on tour as one of the reasons behind her ranking, in addition to her 32 million Facebook fans and 10 million Twitter followers.
Oprah, meanwhile, came in at second, thanks to the whopping $290 million she earned last year. This marks only the third time in seven years in which Oprah did not rank number-one on Forbes' list.
Rounding out the top five were: Justin Bieber, with $53 million in earnings; U2, with $195 million; and Elton John, with $100 million.
And if you thought cheating on your wife didn't pay off, think again: Disgraced golfer Tiger Woods reportedly earned $75 million last year, which helped him to land the number six spot on the list.

The Unicorn, The Dragon, And...
The High-Earning Affiliate
Are They All Merely Myths?
No, The High-Earning Affiliate is Alive and Well
And You Could Become One
The affiliate model is a "high reward/low risk" Web site monetization option...
"2500 C2 pages grew my site
I'm halfway to a six-figure income."
- O. Amobi, windows-vista-update.com
- you don't have to develop excellent products -- it has already been done for you. You simply judge and pick the best available ones, from the best available merchants.
- you don't have to spend large amounts to manufacture and store inventory
- no need to take and process a single order, or worry about getting paid (you don't even need a merchant account!) -- you simply send people to your affiliated merchants, then get paid when they buy
- you don't have to handle or ship a product -- your merchants do that
- you'll never have to answer customer e-mail (inquiries and support are 24/7 issues that can easily eat up 50% of your day)
- they cost nothing to join (beware of the few that do)
- your affiliate business can be started part-time, on a shoestring.
Sounds great... and the "affiliate model" has mushroomed since Amazon.com first brought it into public prominence in 1997. Millions of affiliates send billions of visitors to tens of thousands of companies in return for a payment. The affiliate industry has and continues to thrive.
The Affiliate Credentials of SiteSell.com
One of the top Internet companies online, we are strongly affiliate-driven. Our "Affiliate Program" is regarded as one of the most original programs online.
So... if the affiliate model is so attractive, widely adopted, and thriving...
Why Do Most Affiliate Marketers Struggle To Earn?
Yes, it's true that a small number of affiliates ("super-affiliates") are making some very large incomes. And a larger minority, do earn lower-but-still-substantial amounts.
But the truth remains... the vast majority of affiliates are struggling to earn.
So What's the Problem?
Affiliates struggle due to one or more of the following four problems. All four are avoidable/beatable, with the appropriate strategies and tools. Let's review...
Problem #1 -- Failure To Prepare
Most people fail at anything because of the tendency to FIRE-READY-AIM. They jump the gun and FIRE, rather than invest some time to get READY and then AIM.
Yes, it feels "unproductive" to prepare and set up a system... But it's how the successful succeed.
Part of your preparation should include considering going beyond the affiliate model.
The solution? Upfront thinking and planning...
- Develop best site concept/theme
- Brainstorm most profitable topics
- Select best related affiliate programs.
Problem #2 -- Dependency on Merchants
Not only is it easy to choose the wrong programs, it's easy to struggle with the right ones. Even great companies with terrific products often don't have the time to teach their affiliates...
- No startup manual.
- No creative new ideas in a weekly newsletter... "Here are our banners. Please put them up on your site."
- No tools to help you do your job.
The solution? Successful affiliates do their due diligence in order to select the best companies. They also diversify into other, complementary monetization models.
Problem #3 -- No Site or Poor Site
Some folks attempt to market through social media and forums they frequent. Others try to build sites that may have one or more of the following problems...
- amateurish look and feel
- content that does not hold a visitor's attention and respect
- poor site structure and organization
- have little to no traffic
No Site or Poor Site = No Success
The solution? Take what you know, what you love, and turn it into a Theme-Based Content Site. Attract highly targeted, interested "PREcustomers," provide solid value through content, then refer them to your affiliate merchants.
Problem #4 -- Little or No Traffic
Now for a really big challenge... building traffic.
In the offline retail world, the old saying goes that "location, location, location" are the three most important factors for success. If you put your offline store on the right street corner, you're 90% of the way home.
Passer-by traffic. But...
When was the last time you saw someone casually stroll past a website? Never, right?
Because people choose to go to websites. They click on links or type in URLs. They make the decision. They have the power.
And many affiliates never figure out how to work with that power to attract tens of thousands of interested, motivated visitors every day.
The solution? If you know how, you can put yourself into their click path. The "Top 0.5%" affiliates all...
- make the content of their web pages "attractive" to Search Engines
- track how each page performs on the major Search Engines, from submission, through spidering, indexing and finally to how each page ranks
- develop more than one way to drive traffic
- analyze Click IN and Click Through patterns meticulously, as if their businesses depended on it (because it does)
- follow key traffic stats from a good log file analyzer
- execute well, having assembled or created a wide variety of expensive tools.
Do these solutions sound out of reach for you? They used to be, not any more...
Level the Playing Field
Solo Build It! is the only product that provides you with the process and all the tools necessary for "Top 0.5% Level" affiliate success.
How does it work? "It" does not work... you do. Let's summarize...
Solo Build It! (SBI!) takes what you know and love, and helps you turn that into your own unique content on your own unique website. "SBI" combines step-by-step process with tools, community guidance, updating, and support to enable you to focus on the only thing that matters... building your business.
SBI! automates the tedious elements of site promotion and management so all your time is devoted to building your business... not fighting technology and complexity. A series of professional, integrated tools are further designed specifically to maximize your ROI. The site generates targeted visitors who quickly become warm, willing PREsold prospective clients for the merchants you recommend.
Get rich quick? No. You've come to the wrong place if you're looking for that.
Easy as pie? NO. While SBI! does remove all the technical barriers (HTML, FTP, CGI, Search Engine mastery, etc.), please remember... you are, after all, building a business. So it is not "quick and easy" or "get rich quick" or "guaranteed to make you $1,000,000 in 6 months." Sorry.
Are you motivated? Willing and ready to work to build your Affiliate Marketing business? If so, Solo Build It! delivers. Actually it OVERdelivers success... we prove it.
How Do We Define "Success"?
Build an Affiliate Site That Works
The lifeblood of a growing affiliate business is traffic. So here's our definition of "success"...
Hundreds of visitors per day, every day, generated by you, growing to thousands as you continue to create high-value, high-ranking content related to your site's theme.
Total beginner or seasoned affiliate marketer? It does not matter. Start from scratch and see success grow before your eyes, through the affiliate programs of other companies, who do the actual selling and shipping of products for you...
- without any programming or design knowledge/experience
- without being a Search Engine "guru"
- without needing to have a single product of your own.
Use Solo Build It! to turn your knowledge or hobby into an income-generating, theme-based affiliate site.
Turn knowledge into content. Then convert that content into income.
Your site delivers great content on a particular set of topics (all related to your site's theme). People find your content through your high rankings at the Search Engines (and other techniques). They click on your related merchant links. Your merchants pay you commissions for the sales and your visitors are delighted with the products and convenience...
For example...
Passionate about cooking with hot spices? Chili peppers, cayenne... the hotter, the better? Brainstorm the most profitable topics, and deliver hot and spicy content. Establish your voice and style. Deliver quality, in-demand material. You'll be surprised at how quickly a following develops. And then...
You're ready to monetize (cookbooks, cookware, food processors, and so forth through Amazon). Blend in another monetization model, and you're off to a fast start towards a profitable business... one you'll love building.
Maybe vintage, racing hot rods are your obsession? Create a site about roadsters -- no, create the site about rebuilding roadsters ("how-to-rebuild-roadsters.com"). Refer your ever-growing, highly motivated traffic to related merchants (auto accessories, car dealers, etc.).
Or how about photography? See how this "Top 0.5%" SBI! owner does it.
How about travel? Build a site about family-traveling or exotic locations. Refer traffic to priceline.com and other merchants who sell travel-related products.
Music... Fashion... Games... Electronics...
Or more esoteric interests like organic gardening, Aussie football or children's birthday parties!
The platinum guide to affiliate success. SBI! the perfect affiliate business-building solution and the only one that automatically generates droves of warm, willing-to-buy visitors.
SBI! virtually guarantees affiliate success. All that's needed is motivation.
In summary...
Create worthwhile sites that give something of value to readers
Build truly high-value content that pleases both human readers as well as the Search Engines. Add to the collective wisdom online.
Your pages will generate targeted traffic into your site. You refer them on to affiliated merchants. That traffic flow is called a "clickstream." You tap the clickstream for income.
There are no limits to the possibilities. Create sites about whatever excites you. Then convert that content into traffic, and that traffic into dollars.
Content Traffic PREsell Monetize
And have fun doing it. It's the best "job" in the world.
Why Solo Build It!?
Two reasons...
It is the only product in the world that takes you step-by-step through the powerful, natural process of Content Traffic PREsell Monetize
SBI! provides all the tools that you need to execute C T P M flawlessly, integrated seamlessly into the step-by-step process.
All you have to do is deliver content about your theme/niche. SBI! handles all the behind-the-scenes technology and complexity of building and marketing your Web site, which frees you to focus on what you know best... your business.
Now that you know the big picture of how to succeed online,
review the Video Tour to see how SBI! helps sure you execute it to perfection.
SBI! provides all the information, strategies and tools needed to progress from brainstorming to content-development to traffic-building. It eliminates the complexities and technologies, allowing you to focus on building your business.
Solo Build It! empowers you to own your niche. That means...
Own your free, targeted, motivated traffic.
Grow YOUR business by growing your own niche-oriented traffic.
Monetize your traffic in non-affiliates ways, too (ex., selling your own ebook).
Protect your income, and build equity, by diversifying into new monetization models. What if your merchant partner goes bankrupt tomorrow? Or reduces commissions, fails on their payments or shuts down their program entirely?
Build equity.
Not only do you own your self-produced targeted traffic, but you'll build a large email list. Provide value to your subscribers on an ongoing basis and PREsell other helpful and useful products to them.
Increase Conversions.
PREselling through valued content establishes credibility. So your recommendations carry weight. The difference in Conversion Rate between visitors who arrive PREsold via an in-context text link vs. a banner can be quite high. Test, analyze, adjust.
This business is yours. If one of your affiliated merchants becomes unstable or treats its affiliates unfairly, switch to a competitor. Or you can emphasize an entirely different monetization model.
The key, of course, is owning your own traffic. Before you can can PREsell... before you can earn affiliate income... you must grow your own traffic.
Build Other Streams of Revenue, Too...
Diversify: Add New Income Streams
To Your Affiliate Marketing Business
To monetize as large a percent as possible of your visitors, diversify beyond the affiliate model. Google AdSense is an optional add-on if your main business is to be an affiliate, and others are available (more on this later).
From RC cars to roadsters, from children's birthday parties to high-end audio/electronics, the niches (and themes related to those niches) are infinite. But no matter what niche your affiliate marketing business occupies, monetization must start with significant volumes of relevant traffic...
Once you have traffic, the next question is...
"Since I Own My Traffic Now,
And Only a Small Percent Will Buy,
How Else Can I Monetize That Traffic?"
There isn't any doubt that Solo Build It! delivers the traffic. And yes, that is the lifeblood of your Affiliate Marketing business. But remember... in a wider sense, you're in "business."
Like countless offers that we all see every day, most of your high-volume, PREsold traffic will not ultimately be interested in your merchants' products. Enough will, of course, for you to grow significantly.
But why not monetize your traffic by offering other products and/or services? In other words, develop a mix of supplementary monetization models. Diversify your business into multiple streams of income.
Here is how to build a diversified monetization mix. Consider each monetization model carefully. Depending on your particular niche and Affiliate Marketing business practices, some will apply to you. Some won't.
Google AdSense offers yet another way to monetize a purely informational theme-based content site. Pick fewer (i.e., only the best) affiliate programs related to your niche. (AdSense and SBI! are an excellent match -- SBI! builds targeted, themed traffic, while AdSense monetizes it with ease.)
As a matter of fact, the ideal diversification strategy is most likely to combine AdSense with a few top-notch affiliate programs, blending in a finder's relationship or two. Now you can focus on building your Affiliate Marketing business, and on diversifying it into a broader, more stable, full-fledged business.
It all adds up to a strong, stable way to monetize a theme-based content site.
Want Proof?
Click here for proof that you won't find anywhere else on the Internet. Search as hard and long as you like... you won't find documented PROOF OF PROCESS like this.
With proof like that, it's fair to say...
There is no stronger, more cost-effective way to build your affiliate business, whether you merely want to convert a hobby into a money-maker instead of a money-spender, or whether you ultimately want to quit your day job.
Net Result?
Affiliate Marketing Is Just The Start
Build a business where you are in control, following a step-by-step plan and using tools with a proven track record of success within a positive, forward-thinking and supportive community.
Solo Build It! sites succeed. And we prove it.
Other companies would, of course, if they could. But the majority of small businesses struggle online. You don't want to lose a year of your life and thousands of dollars going down a road with no map.

Romulus's Trusted Meth Lab Cleanup Service
OnSite Solutions is Romulus's leader in environmental cleanup, lead and asbestos abatement, mold remediation and bio-hazard cleanup. With a decade of experience and nearly 50 employees, OnSite Solutions has established a reputation for handling every type of residential and commercial construction project with a focus on quality and responsive service. Our success is a result of setting a standard of excellence that is unmatched in our industry.
Our expert team offers complete remodeling, renovation, environmental cleanup, and disaster containment services with dependable, competent, and personalized service. This emphasis on service is what makes OnSite Solutions a leader in emergency disaster needs. If you have a lead, asbestos, mold, or toxic waste issue in your home or business, call the EPA-certified experts at OnSite Solutions now.
OnSite Solutions is a Proud Member Representing the Following Organizations
EPA-Certified Environmental Cleanup Services in Romulus, MI
OnSite Solutions follows all state and federal guidelines for the testing, removal, sanitation, and disposal of hazardous materials. Chemicals and products that were commonly used in construction in the past -- such as lead and asbestos -- are now causing serious health problems in people around the world. Don't take any chances! Our team can provide thorough testing and abatement services to ensure that your property and its inhabitants are safe from dangerous pollutants.
Lead Testing & Abatement
While previously used in large amounts in a number of household materials, particularly paint, lead is now considered toxic by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Lead exposure can cause a number of health problems and is particularly harmful to children. Our environmental cleanup team is certified by the EPA to test for lead levels in homes and businesses throughout the entire Metro Detroit area.
If the lead levels on your property exceed the limits set by the EPA, we are qualified to take the steps necessary to safely remove the lead, a process called lead abatement. Don't put your family, employees, or customers at risk by failing to get a qualified lead assessment at your property! Call OnSite Solutions today to schedule your lead inspection and abatement.
Asbestos Assessment & Abatement
When demolishing or renovating an older building, it is not uncommon to discover a previously unknown asbestos problem. Although it was formerly used commonly as an insulation material in both residential homes and commercial properties, asbestos was later discovered to cause a host of health problems. It is now a legal requirement to treat asbestos as a hazardous material and ensure that any building inhabitants are not at risk.
Our certified lead assessment and abatement team can provide a thorough inspection of your property to locate any and all asbestos-based materials. We can then safely remove the materials and ensure that your property is adhering to legal standards for safety.
Mold Assessment & Remediation
One common problem homeowners encounter is excessive mold growth within the walls or attic of their home. This dangerous mold is not only a sign of excessive moisture that can rot the wooden structure of your home, but it also releases cancer-causing spores. Using moisture meters, infrared technology, and other advanced equipment, the team at OnSite solutions can locate mold in your home and identify the extent of the problem.
If the problem requires mold removal, we will secure the affected area, extract the mold, dry the area, and repair the problem that leads to the high moisture levels. We can then dispose of the mold, disinfect the area and clean your property's indoor air supply through air duct cleaning and HEPA filtration products.
Meth Lab & Bio-Hazard Cleanup
Any property that has been declared to be a meth lab (or former meth lab) by a local authority must be cleaned following strict guidelines to ensure the safety of any of its current of future occupants. The manufacturing of meth utilizes toxic, dangerous chemicals that must be deal with using highly controlled methods of disposal, sanitation, and decontamination. The team at OnSite Solutions has the tools, knowledge, and certifications required to restore any property that housed a meth lab back to a safe and inhabitable condition that meets all legal requirements.
After a tragic death, accident, sewer backup, chemical spill - or other event that results in hazardous waste - you need a caring, compassionate and responsive team that specializes in securing and disposing of bio-hazardous materials. Our team is licensed, experienced, and works with both law enforcement and property owners to efficiently and carefully sanitize, decontaminate, and restore a property to its original condition using methods that meet all state and federal guidelines for bio-hazard disposal and sanitation.
Satisfied Customers:
"Great experience working with this company. From customer service to communication & quality of work provided. I highly recommend them!" Joel Wheaton

They were able to tear down my old moldy basement, clean it out, plug holes in the cement and then rebuild in a matter of weeks. I would highly recommend them to any of my friends/family. Very trustworthy and very affordable." Haitham Fakhouri

August 14, 1923 - December 30, 2012
Middletown, NY
Louis Van Orden Mills, two-term Mayor of Middletown, NY, first County Executive of Orange County, and founder and first President of the Orange County Land Trust, died early Sunday morning, December 30, 2012. He was 89.
Elected Mayor of Middletown at age 27, Louis was the youngest mayor in New York State, serving from 1951-1955. He was elected for two terms as Orange County's first County Executive, 1969-1977, and appointed First Vice Chairman of the National Association of Counties where he conferred with Presidents Ford, Nixon, and Carter, as well as with New York Governor Rockefeller. He retired from public office in 1978 and went on to establish the Orange County Land Trust in 1993. He served as its President for the next 10 years.
Louis was an officer or director of other civic and religious boards in Orange County including Horton Memorial Hospital and the Hillside Cemetery. Louis' 26-year public service career included: New York State Commission for Riparian Claims on the Neversink River, 1957-58; Advisory Council to the Hudson River Valley Commission, appointed by Governor Nelson Rockefeller, 1965-66; President, Association of New York State County Executives, 1972; Board of Directors, Metropolitan Regional Council, 1972; Vice-President, Mid-Hudson Inter-County Council, 1972; Chairman, Revenue Sharing Sub-Committee, National Association of Counties, 1972; New York State Office of Local Government Advisory Board, 1972.
In addition to public office, Louis maintained a private business practice for 22 years as a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) for Equitable Life and a licensed real estate broker. He initiated the restoration and redevelopment of several historic properties in Orange County.
Louis attended Middletown public schools and graduated from The Hotchkiss School, received a BA in Business Administration from Dartmouth College and an MA in government and education from Columbia University. He served on the faculty at Orange County Community College. He was a U.S. Naval Reserve veteran and a member of the American Legion. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Middletown.
Louis' favorite activities included tennis, skiing, and reading political biographies. His passionate interest in Orange County history led him to write and publish booklets on the Revolutionary War battle of Fort Montgomery and Middletown's historic Hillside Cemetery. He obtained a pilot license in the 1960's and belonged to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Most of all, he enjoyed being around family and friends.
Louis was born on August 14, 1923 to Dr. Samuel Wickham II and Dorothy Van Orden Mills of Middletown, NY. Louis was predeceased by his wife of 61 years, Roberta Arrowsmith Mills, and his brother, Dr. Samuel Wickham Mills III.
Surviving family members include sons: Jack (Laura) of Davis, CA and Louis Jr. (Monica) of Lubbock, TX; grandchildren: John Mills Jr. (Corrine) and Sarah Mills Bowden (Raymond); great-grandsons: Justin, Andrew, and Ryan Mills, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
Louis resided at University Retirement Community (URC) in Davis, CA for the past five years. A service will be held at URC. Wiscombe Funeral Home in Davis, CA is handling the funeral arrangements. A memorial service will be held in Orange County, NY in the spring. Applebee McPhillips Funeral Home, Middletown, NY is coordinating that service with the family.
In lieu of flowers, Louis asked that donations be made to the Orange County Land Trust, 10 Mulberry St, Middletown, NY 10940.

Wikileaks Hires Alan Dershowitz
Julian Assange's Wikileaks has hired torture-loving, Obama-concern-trolling Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz to advise it on how to combat the Justice Department's effort to wrestle data about its online behavior from Twitter.
The last time Dershowitz weighed in on Wikileaks, he was wondering aloud whether it was "complicit in the crime" of leaking the diplomatic cables, and agreeing with Hilary Clinton that "WikiLeaks poses a danger not only to the US but to international diplomacy." On the other hand, he helped O.J. Simpson get away with murder so it's not like he's picky.

ISS is growing, expanding and rebranding
ISS is growing, expanding and rebranding
Integrated Security Systems of Miami is getting ready to add 10,000 square feet of space to its headquarters here.
"We're growing into new territories, but our back office and design center [work] is all done here," Jeff Nunberg, ISS CEO said.
"We're finalizing plans with the architect now," Nunberg said. "In ten months we should have the new space."
In business since 1962, ISS is a PSA Security owner, that does CCTV, fire, access, and life safety and mass notification systems. It specializes in design-build projects and has in-house engineering, consultation, AutoCAD, construction and service departments.
ISS has two branch offices and employees "stationed throughout Florida and the Carolinas," he said. ISS has more than 70 employees; its revenues exceed $20 million,
The company is also getting a new look. ISS has a new logo that was designed by a student.
"I wanted something that hit me emotionally," he said. "Something iconic, so when you see it, you know it's us."
Last November, Nunberg spoke to fashion students at a Florida art college about running a business, as a favor to his cousin who works at the college. "While I was there I asked if they had a graphic art department and she said yes."
Nunberg ended up sponsoring a logo contest. Tiffany Campos, the student-designer of the winning logo received a $1,600 scholarship, and ISS finally got a logo that Nunberg is excited about.
The logo will figure prominently at ISS's expanded office, on its new Web site, its 60 vehicles, all of its literature and lapel pins and "other trinkets we give out," he said.
It's a big project and it's "reinvigorating employees," he said. "Change is good."
"At the end of the day, we're a service company and it's hard to copy our model, what we deliver," he said. However, he believes the logo will "help my business stand out even more," Nunberg said.

Weather Topic: What are Wall Clouds?
Home - Education - Cloud Types - Wall Clouds
Next Topic: Condensation
A wall cloud forms underneath the base of a cumulonimbus cloud, and can be a hotbed for deadly tornadoes.
Wall clouds are formed by air flowing into the cumulonimbus clouds, which can result in the wall cloud descending from the base of the cumulonimbus cloud, or rising fractus clouds which join to the base of the storm cloud as the wall cloud takes shape.
Wall clouds can be very large, and in the Northern Hemisphere they generally form at the southern edge of cumulonimbus clouds.

Next Topic: Evaporation
Drizzle is precipitation in the form of water droplets which are smaller than raindrops.
Drizzle is characterized by fine, gently falling droplets and typically does not impact human habitation in a negative way. The exception to this is freezing drizzle, a condition where drizzle freezes immediately upon reaching earth's surface. Freezing drizzle is still less dangerous than freezing rain, but can potentially result in hazardous road conditions.

Is your wallet busting at the seams? Your key chain weighing you down?
Sondra Lender
You hate to join the customer loyalty programs, because you know the store is just spying on you, but how can you pass up the deals and steals that come with it? You can't. So you end up with loads of extra plastic cards taking up valuable real estate in your wallet, bag or junk drawer.
My friend Janet recently introduced me to my new favorite app: MyEchain. It converted this pile of cards (yes, I still have a Blockbuster card!)…to no cards at all.
You simply scan the cards into your smartphone by hovering the phone over the card and… done! You have all of your loyalty/membership cards at your fingertips. No remembering numbers and no lugging around of the extra weight. It's a free and easy way to lighten your load.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – For the second time in as many weeks, senior Will Tashman (Atherton, Calif.) was selected as an All-American men's basketball player, this time by D3hoops.com. One of 25 Division III players from around to be named an All-American, Tashman was put on the second team by the publication. He is the third MIT player to earn All-America recognition by D3hoops.com, joining fellow senior Mitchell Kates (Colts Neck, N.J.) and Jimmy Bartolotta '09.
Tashman, who was the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference Athlete of the Year and a first team all-conference selection, averaged a double-double this season with his 16.3 ppg and 10.8 rpg averages. A three-time NEMWAC Player of the Week, Tashman led the conference in rebounding while leading the Engineers in both scoring and rebounding. The MIT career leader in rebounds, Tashman became the first MIT player to reach 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career this season. He finished among the top-10 all-time at MIT in points (1,414), rebounds (1,023), field goal percentage (.541), free throw percentage (.740), assists (270) and blocks (82).

Two UK Men Accused of Blackmailing Gay Men on Grindr
Two men from the United Kingdom have been charged with blackmailing gay men via the social media app, Grindr, the British newspaper the Gloucester Citizen reports.
Nathanael Foster, of Wheatstone Road, Gloucester, and Adam Webb, of Kingsway, Quedgeley, both 26, are accused of trying to blackmail gay men for money by using the gay hookup app Grindr. Both men are charged with two counts of blackmail.
The men allegedly pretended to be younger attractive men on the gay dating app and then attempted to get thousands of pounds out of men who contacted them, Gloucester Crown Court heard.
Neither Foster nor Webb has entered a plea in regards to the charges. They were released on bail based on conditions they agreed too, including that they do not use Grindr or speak with each other.
The two men will appear back in court on August 14.
