When first creating an incentive program it can be challenging to come up with the secret sauce that makes or breaks your program success. Using crowdsourcing to collect ideas the Incentive Research Foundation has put together a Micro Conference concept that polls 40 incentive industry experts on what makes a program successful. Each expert is given a two minute slot to share his/her best tips on designing and implementing an incentive/recognition program. You can download the audio clips from all or each incentive expert and sign up for weekly transcripts from the speakers.
Our most recent adventure took us to Punta Cana where we were charged with creating a signature event for the farewell gala dinner portion of the dealer incentive program we managed. The week up to this point had been extremely well-received and we needed something that would create a lasting impression, something that would stick with our client's top dealers for years to come. Something engaging enough for them to strive towards qualifying for the next program. With the right decor and style, an exclusive all-white party "hit the mark."
From the initial communication of the event it got our client's guests out their comfort zone knowing that they had to wear all white on the final night. The buzz and buildup throughout the program was electric and everyone was wondering what surprises they would encounter when they dressed in all white and entered the event.
From stiltwalkers, to Cirque performers, to American Idol talent, to the 450 person ballroom everything was coordinated together in white and the surprises kept coming throughout the night.
This was our client's first incentive travel program in 15 years and it was important for them to reward their independent dealers with a signature event that was an over-the-top expression of gratitude. Dealer incentive travel programs are about rewarding and recognizing top performing dealers and fortifying a company's relationship with them. These are their top customers and we need to retain their partcipation in subsequent programs and make sure they are aligned with our client's company and products.
What have you done recently in your incentive travel program events that have kept your participants motivated and coming back year after year for more?
As we spent the weekend watching this monstrous storm lunge at the East Coast accompanied by the steady drumbeat of impending disaster, it was pretty clear what to do if you lived here. Manage the consequences because the contributing variables were out of our control.
I thought it was pretty neat that we now have the tools to accurately project the location, timing and strength of these massive storms. Remember those brain-fogging high school statistics classes that tried to teach the calculations for the combinations and permutations of variables? X, Y, Z squared, multiplied, added, assumed and plotted to provide a solution. Thankfully, somebody did. This is great stuff to forecast weather, understand risk, project outcomes.
Once we know the possible outcomes, what can we do? Manage the consequences.
That is the issue we face planning events. We cannot control every outcome because the variables are too broad. We can plan for the much more limited consequences.
For example, have weather backup for outdoor events, mobile contact information communication trees for suppliers, guests and staff, alternative routes to known medical facilities, emergency evacuation procedures, refrigeration strategies for guests with temperature sensitive medicines, continually charged phones and computers, designated on-site decision maker and communications source.
Think simple. When phones are down, text messages are more likely to make it through a data network. Weather questionable? Budget more time to make the weather call for outdoor events when you are planning a buffet because they take longer to break down and move. The list is long but manageable.
Start making your own list of actions that manage the consequences of illness, power loss, inclement weather, strikes, and whatever else is a worry. The variables and options are more manageable and you'll have more control than you think. And when your guests feel you are in control, well, you are.
My introduction to business technology evolution was writing a return on investment budget brief justifying the expense of a Xerox copier to replace a mimeograph machine. Oh, never heard of a mimeograph machine? It was a decades-old hand cranked stenciling technology that made a carbon printing plate for multiple copies. The new Xerox was an investment that made print reproduction scalable, clean, efficient, and inexpensive.
Then came justifying the expense of a PC to replace a word-processing device, then a laser printer replacing a dot-matrix. I have mitigated the costs of purchasing Windows Office and its many upgrades, moving from cell phones to SmartPhones, approving purchases of tablets, apps…well you get the picture. Looking back it seems there was time to catch your breath during the technology transitions, but no longer.
Now we have tools like voice to text, text to voice, geo-location marketing, ROI calculators, and engagement apps all attaching themselves to every marketplace to give marketers a temporary edge until the newest thing is introduced.. This avalanche of hardware and software tools encourages an accelerating pace of marketer adoption. It also means the tools you are using are the same as your competition making Hardware and Software commodities.
So how do marketers differentiate themselves when all the jazzy tools are essentially the same?
They use wetware. Wetware is the operating system run by the fastest, most sophisticated self-wiring nanotechnology known. In other words, our brains - the synaptic connections residing between our ears. It is what humans use to make sense from seemingly disconnected concepts and experiences. Wetware is the flesh and blood human app built from experience and is honed through wisdom of what works and what doesn't. You can't open the technology bag of tools without providing the context of why they will work.
Now we are called upon to bridge technology with strategies that enrich experiences, engage people and justify a new way of getting a job done. People pay for hardware and software and will happily pay for wetware when they understand their return on investment. Go ahead. Invest in your most unique asset.
Wetware, powered by people.
In a 2010 survey, two thirds slept with their cell phones next to their beds and 42% of Americans said they "can't live" without their cell phones. Mobile phones, and smart phones in particular, have become a truly disruptive technology.
From inexpensive or free online apps offering retail couponing, instant entertainment including on-demand games, movies, music, to the intelligent wallet, hyper fluid social networks, product showrooms and university level education, mobile technology apps have disrupted commerce while putting the entire experience literally in your hands.
And nowhere else can you see this disruption so clearly as in the apps used in the travel and hospitality marketplace. There are geo targeted location programs that help you identify and understand landmarks, restaurants, and museums using tap and zoom technology. Mobile apps have led to the wholesale destruction of physical documentation such as tickets, itineraries and agendas, replacing them with rich real time program highlights and dynamic notifications. There are the added social networking benefits of broadening your community and increasing dialogue. Point your phone at that squiggly QR code and get an in-depth explanation of the painting, statue or product put right on your phone and then show your friends. Find out about your airline reservations and flights on-time performance or tap on your contact and get directions to your location. Ritz Carlton has even added on-property engagement to push location specific information to guests once they've checked in!
Is it any wonder that 35% of smart phone owners use their handheld browser even when sitting in front of their PC? Your whole world is in your hand. You whisper into your phone, urge it on to find information quickly, it hides your secrets and knows all your friends, rewards you with information and entertainment and causes stress when it's out of reach.
When we pack our clients program information, travel agendas, geo-location maps into their apps, their program engagement goes up and their ability to feel in control follows. We are traveling in good company and have a 66% chance…
A few decades ago, there was a widely recognized "best" in virtually every business classification. One "category killer." There was one "best" TV, one "best automobile, one "best" camera, one best carpet, one "best" suitcase, one "best" computer. And on and on. Today, all that has changed. With notable exception, products in most categories are at parity. (We're very proud that a few great exceptions are our clients, like Hunter Douglas Window Fashions, Bradford White Hot Water Heaters and Global Office Furniture.). These are brands at the top of their categories.
With most products in most categories fairly equal, at least in the mind of the consumer, what are manufacturers using distribution doing to move their brands, over the competitors' offerings? The answer is incentives.
Let's say you walk into a store to buy a flat screen TV. Even after you've decided on the basics like size and Plasma vs. LCD, there are still way too many choices, and they all look great hanging on the wall. (I can name 11 brands without even trying, including 3 that start with the letter "S"). So the friendly salesperson steps in and helps you navigate through the milieu, and makes a recommendation. So, since these sort of look the same and basically perform the same and, on an apples to apples basis, cost about the same, what do you think this recommendation is based on?
Is it possible that the salesperson is being motivated to sell that particular brand or model? Is it possible that the salesperson could earn a really terrific reward by selling that brand? Is it possible that the earth will rotate on its axis?
I am not suggesting in any way that people get sold second-class stuff so the salesperson can win a first class reward. Not at all. Remember, I said earlier that most brands in a category are at parity, so the salesperson is not doing an injustice to anyone.
In a well- planned, strategically sound incentive program in the distribution space, the brand really becomes the promotion. Certainly, high-powered consumer advertising will pre-condition the market and pull people into the stores, but adding an incentive program can push the product out the door.
As a consumer, does this sound familiar to you? As a marketer, doesn't it sound like a good idea to you?
Management consulting, advertising, and investment banking firms have competing clients ask, why should I hire you if you are working with my competitors?
The answer is always the same: we value your business and we've constructed elaborate Chinese Walls to prevent the leakage of ideas, customers or work product from one team to another. After all, we have the brightest, most creative people working hard to serve your interests. Pictures of the Great Wall of China from space show that the walls must be formidable.
But still we hear stories about the breaching of these walls. Strategic approaches captured, client data aggregated. Management is aghast and appalled by this stain on their credibility.
How do these breaches happen? Honestly, I think it's just too tempting for people to peek over the wall. The potential benefits outweigh the risk. Competing strategies could be assessed, clients urged to strengthen their position, personal failure avoided, riches just out of reach.
We know human nature is curious and motivated by recognition and reward. How many people unconsciously look over another's shoulder to read emails, glance at their neighbors mail, check out their competitors desk, linger over visitor logs? People do it because it's too tempting. Admit it, you've done it too. Add reward to the mix and it's almost irresistible.
We know as long as there are ten foot walls, someone will find a twelve foot ladder.
How do we handle it, how is our wall better? We simply won't work for clients who compete in the same space. We give over all our focus and concentration to one client's needs. Instead of building walls we build solutions.
Have you ever been faced with client competitor conflict or built a Chinese Wall? What do you do?
When developing a marketing budget sometimes it can be difficult to know which programs will produce the desired result and behavior of your target audience. Our programs take the guess work out and allow you to 100% target your audience.

I read a line in a newspaper article recently that really struck me. The gist of the story was that prior to a big horse race, the jockey asked the trainer to define the strategy he wanted to employ. The trainer said, "Get out in front, then improve your position."
Simply brilliant.
The reason I liked it so much is that it's really the essence of what we preach. Incentives are about improving performance, and a typical incentive winner is the kind of person who, like the trainer's advice, gets out in front and keeps on getting better. The fact that you're in the lead doesn't mean you should let up, because sure as night follows day, your competitors will be relentless in their pursuit. So if you're ahead and you've reached your goal, keep going and reach higher. As one of the world's greatest ad guys said, "your reach should exceed your grasp, or what are the heavens for."
Being born and raised in Philadelphia, I am a passionate Phillies fan who loves seeing my team boasting the best record in the major leagues. As of 3 days ago, they were a whopping 7 ½ games ahead of second place Atlanta. The Braves came into town for a critical 3 game series. The Phillies swept all 3 games and now are 10 ½ games ahead. The Phillies were in front, and improved their position.
In 1964, the Phillies were ahead by 6 ½ games with a mere 12 games left in the season. They were comfortably out in front. But rather than going for the jugular, they rested on their laurels, lost 10 games in a row and finished second!
Though both teams share the same name, and both got out in front and had the championship within their reach, one improved their position and will win, while the other remained complacent and lost.
See any analogies with your sales force or dealer network?

I had something similar happen when my Mythdoll arrived. They put N/C (no charge) on the package. My Yder arrived the same day (listed as $98!); I ended up not paying customs for either of them. Still don't know how I got away with that one. Someone in customs was in a good mood that day.
Wilkies, you are a better person because I DO mind paying, especially because I can find no rhyme or reason for the way they charge. I've had stuff with paperwork stating how much I've paid for the item which they then re-interpret as 6 times as much and charge taxes on the new price they've invented; I've paid varying amounts for the exact same item (multiple purchases) that arrived within a couple weeks of each other. It really looks like they just pull numbers out of their butts and try to charge as much as they think they can get away with. Top that with physically damaging goods when they opened the boxes and envelopes. I have a serious hate on with them for stuff like this because it happens all the time.
Hmm, that was a rant. XoP How about we have some spam please to lighten up my mood. We haven't had any for over a week! XDDD

Beta 3 has been pushed to next week. Sorry for the delay but we want to make sure it is what we want before we release it.
So lets talk a little about what it will include.
1. Monster rebalance. Monsters have been given strengths and weaknesses. There are a lot more vulnerabilites to various damage types, and monsters have a wider range of attack types.
2. Weapon rebalance. Weapons gain new abilities, armor is more effective against specific types of attacks (chainmail is better against cutting weapons, plate mail is better against blunt). Swords have counterattack, all axes have backswing, spears protect from counterattack. All units that don't use their action automatically defend (you can see it in the screenshot below), much as shields used to do. This means that the first attack isn't such a big deal (since moving into the range of your enemy but not attacking means you are defending and will take significantly less damage form their attack). Items (shields), unit design and level up traits can influence how much of a defense bonus a unit gets when defending.
3. More Spells. Candlecloak, Cull the Weak, Fracture, Gift of Iron, Flame Wave, Tidal Wave and many more. If you haven't seen our latest Dev Journal video, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ArdQVqLHsI&feature=youtu.be
4. Go Big. Spells do bigger things, curse doesnt reduce defense and spell resistance by a few points anymore, it removes all the victims Defense for 3 turns. More spells have a casting time and a larger effect (and the AI is very good at counterspelling so you may want to knock out enemy shamans and mages before starting your big spells). Summons can be placed anywhere in battle so feel free to drop that fire elemental right behind the enemy archers.
5. Or Go Home. Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Constitution have been removed from the game. These were primary stats that effected other things. rather than doing that we will adjust the other things directly. There is still a trait called Strength which increases a unit weight capacity. There are traits that increase a units attack. But they don't have to given together as was happening with the old Strength stat model. Now your warrior types can grab the Strength trait so they can wear the heavy armor and weapons and your archer types can concentrate on the traist that increase attack, critical strikes, etc. Path of the Assassin doesn't offer any additional weight capacity, but does offer attack bonuses, meaning you can do lots of damage but you probably won't ever be wearing plate mail with that champion.
6. More understanable stats. Accuracy it a flat chance to hit an enemy (Accuracy 80 means you have an 80% chance to hit an enemy). Some units have a Dodge that subtracts form this (So someone with Accuracy 80 trying to hit someone with Dodge 20 would have a 60% chance to do so). This way players can clearly understand exactly what bonuses do. A trait that gives you +10 to Accuracy means your will hit 10% more often. That is easier to weigh against a trait that allows you to cast Fireball or gives you +25% to Experience. Spell Mastery and Spell Resistance have gone through the same change, they are flat percentages to have your spells take effect.
7. Faction Differentiation. This is where we have been spending the bulk of our time. As Magnar has their wageless slave legions and the ability to add population from defeated enemies Gilden can create designable Iron Golems if they have enough mana and metal. Though they aren't the best on attack (stay tuned for a post-beta 3 Trog patch to see what that looks like) they are the games best trainable defenders and they take a lot of damage before they fall.
Not all the factions are done, we are concentrating on Magnar and Gilden. But you will find plenty to do with the other factions. Tarth ignores terrain penalties (they move normally through forests, swamps, hills and rivers), receive a bonus when in small armies and get all new bows with higher attack and no metal requirements. They also get Masterwork Chainmail armor instead of Plate Mail armor at Heavy armor, which is lighter and quicker to produce and better against cutting attack, but isn't generally as good defensively as Plate Mail.
Krax gets one handed versions of all the spears in the game, allowing them keep their shields. They also get a Round Shield replacement called the Bronze Shield which gives them an additional bonus versus ranged attacks and they have inherited Tarth's old ability to get +10 defnese when under 50% of their hit points. They retain their +10% per city level bonus to Accuracy, Attack and Defense when defneding cities. Finally Karavox gains the Silver Tongue ability, the ability to spend influence in tactical combat to flip trained units to his side.
8. Some other things, "went home", there are less techs in Beta 3. In general the tech tree is a little thinner than it was before meaning all goodies aren't spread out as much as they were. We really want to make sure you are laboring over what tech to research next. I made some mistakes on tech placement when I put research boosting techs late in the tree when they aren't needed, and I had food boosting tech early in the tree, when they also werent needed. Now education is a 1st tier tech and definitly worth considering vs standing army (spears and wood shields) and civics (the ability to gold rush).
9. More diplomacy options. Whenever you learn a tech you gain knowledge in that category (Civilization, Magic or Warfare). You can trade this knowledge with other players and it is applied randomly to a tech in that category you could learn. If you have 100 Magic Knowledge (because you have been researching a bunch of magic techs) you can trade that to another player and he will get 100 research applied to one of his magic techs. Once you trade that knowledge away it is in the world and you can't trade it to other players (ie: it's gone). We didn't want straight tech trading but this was a good to represent the ability to share knowledge.
You can also demand tribute from other players and they may demand tribute to you. Or you can offer tribute to an AI player that you want to stay on the good side of. If you are powerful enough you can demand that an enemy sovereign surrender to you. If this happens their empire is removed, just like they were defeated but you gain that sovereign as a champion under your control.
10. Better memory consumption (my 500 turn game on a large map last night was only using 1.3 Gb), better performance (Brad is working magic with multiple threads), better AI (we are changing the default difficulty to Easy, the AI is getting to good).
11. Tons of bug fixes, improvements, polish and tweaking. We replaced a lot of the spell icons to make them more clear and distinct, you can see new trees in the picture below. Lots of new traits for your champions to learn.
Would be a waste of time since windows 8 is still in an early beta stage.. no telling what will change before its released. I'm sure once win 8 actually releases it will be a different story. Its kinda of silly to expect anyone to support a windows version thats not even finished...
No 113 acc is 113% not 213%. every point equeals 1 %. So if Defenders Dodge is 50 then you subtract 50% from 113% which is 63% change of hitting.
That's a lot easier to understand than the previous accuracy vs dodge system, anyway.
I hope they do something about the attack vs defense system too, it is also difficult to understand at a glance.
Looking good guys Though I have some time to kill this weekend, I don't mind waiting another week.
Most of the changes look very promising, will be fun to try them. I do share the concerns some before me have voiced; the disappearing empires once they have been defeated/surrendered. It's just a really weird feature, whole civilizations going poof just because one guy gets killed or joins a stronger faction. I really hope this will be looked at before release. In case of defeat having the remaining cities become independent, or in case of surrender becoming a vassal or even just joining the stronger faction would be preferable.
Also, I hope you don't thin the tech tree too much (but as I understand the tech tree will be overhauled in the next beta anyway right?).
Sounds very cool.
What I want to know is if damage spells and staffs can be blocked by spell resistance now.
Because I still would like a baseline quantity around which to center the buffs and debuffs. Removing the base quantity isn't removing an intermediary.
Loving the changes! I'd rather wait for a more polished beta. I've been playing HOMM VI in the mean time and it's actually a pretty good game in it's own right. Also seems like some BETA 3 changes might have been influenced from it.
Some of this goodness is reminding me of Final Fantasy Tactics (spell charging, taming etc).....and that makes me a very very happy gamer.
Speaking of FFT.. I think one the genius elements in that was that there was no attack vs. Defense value.. armor simply gave you more hitpoints. Better armor more HP.
Indeed, any news on spell dmg resistance would be great
This seems pointless unless we get actual choice in armor. Right now everyone just uses leather then chainmail and maybe plate late game. All this means is that swords/axes will be worthless mid game and hammers worthless late game, as everyone will have acess to different dmg type weapons of the same level. To make this system work we will need multiple armors of around the same defense of different styles and/or weapon types split into different techs.
I would seriously consider fragmenting surrendered/defeated empires. Unconqured cities of that empire/kingdom should join neighbouring allies or go neutral. This would not only add complexity and fun but help stop military empires from just steamrolling in a subtle/interesting way.
Hopefully this means that encumbrance will be flushed out and assasins turned into a playable class.
Overall I really like the changes. GJ
Oh dear, there goes my mod plans. No stats will make things much more difficult. Oh well.
On another note, a surrender bonus could be huge. If a player defeats a merchant sovereign then they should get the gildar discount for units.
All the stats are still in the game, they just aren't shown in the displays (thats an xml change for the screens you want them on). They are also set (in xml) to not have any bonus (the int multiplier on xp is 0). And the tooltips don't display modifiers if they don't have an effect. So modders can turn them all back on if they want.
Thank goodness. I was wanting to add more acuity stats to the game, such as Charisma and Wisdom, and I wanted them to affect certain spells while intelligence affects others.
That was one of my favorite things about Galactic Civilizations II. It really added a lot of flavor to each race in terms of how they developed. I feel a lot of the time Faction Differentiation is limited because you either give each faction major bonuses out the gate that tend to restrict their role, or bland abilities that don't add up to much in the long run. With specialized tech trees each faction might have to work harder to get better at certain things, but they have the potential to do so.
One thing I've been tossing around in my brain lately is keeping the tech tree the same for everyone, but giving bonuses and penalties to certain kinds of research for each faction, subsequently shaping the direction players want to go in. For example, the Ythrill could get a +25% research bonus to Warfare tech but -25% to Civilization tech. What this would effectively do is keep them ahead of the curve in terms of Warfare tech most of the game, but behind the curve on Civilization tech.
What do you guys think?
Can you have traits that give you resistance or reduces the damage of specific types of magic?
Dragon Skin - +30 resistance vs. Fire Magic or Reduces Fire Damage by 50%
Life Aura - +30 resistance vs Death Magic
Or traits that affect only a specific weapon?
Spear Skilled - +20 attack bonus with spearSpear Master - +20 attack bonus with spear (not damage, just chance to hit) (requires spear skilled) (total = +40 Spear Attacks)Dagger Master - +30 attack bonus with spear (not damage, just chance to hit)
Me too. I have seen a few massive U turns in Elemental history, but this has got to be the biggest. What is the reasoning behind the stat stripping? Streamlining is all well and good, but it can go too far. It seems to me that once a mantra is hooked onto, it's followed to the n'th degree, at the cost of reason..
I can see why they stripped stats. What is the use of constitution if it only influences hitpoints. Why not just change hitpoints directly instead of increasing constitution to get more hitpoints.
I like the idea behind no stats, really wanna try to see it in action! , especially before I judge it .
Sincerely~ Kongdej
I agree with limiting the stats but I also think there are too many traits for each Hero too.Less traits but more unique effect would also limit the clutter.
Exactly and it makes balancing the traits much easier, too. The old stats would have made sense if they were linked to skills for example, too.
This is looking really, really good. I'm glad Stardock didn't give up on the Elemental franchise but instead went with a reboot. It looks like future flame wars will go, "Stardock is a lousy developer! Elemental: War of Magic sucked!" "Who cares? They totally redeemed themselves with Elemental: Fallen Enchantress, one of the best 4X strategy games ever made!"
That was in fact the argument a long time ago when it was announced elemental would be RPG party LIKE WITH Stats. It was something unique to Elemental that MoM or AoW did not have, I personally thought it was an interesting idea but they didn't seem to make up their mind on how traits like Intelligence interacted with level based bonuses
In Rpg games you could have a Mage with intellegence 17 but is only Level 3, versus one that is level 10 but has lower intellgence of 16.
Anyway FE is getting closer and closer to MoM/AoW has they drop things that make it "unique" , though personally i suspect the Mods will have a field day using the traits. I don't know if is moddable but you could have damage from Fireball spell variable on 1) intellegence 2) Level/traits 3) Shards or any combination of.
Dividing stats into primary and secondary ones didn't really work. It is a much smarter idea to just stick with primary ones. This solves the frankly huge problem with strength being overpowered, and allows us much more freedom when designing and specializing units. As others have said most the old stats only affected a single secondary stat anyway and thus were a complete waste of space.

3. | Frank Sinatra | ||
a talented musician who was a god to music until his death in May of 1998. no one will ever take his place in music history. its just not possible. that guys a great singer but he's no frank sinatra!
1. | Frank Sinatra | ||
God "Frank Sinatra is God."
2. | Frank Sinatra | ||
Frank Sinatra (born 1915, died 1998) Known as "The Voice" or "Chairman of the board" was the coolest interpreter of swing music during his almost 60 years in showbusiness. Winner of an oscar in the early fiftees. Related with politics, showmen, mobsters and beautiful copacabana showgirls, defined the meaning of "coolness" in the early sixtees with his friends, also known as The Ratpack. His songbook includes such clasics as: "Fly me to the moon" "I've got you under my skin" and "New York, New York". All this cats have much to learn from Frank Sinatra
4. | Frank Sinatra | ||
v. To do a particular activity however you damn well please, your way.
Origin: Frank Sinatra lyric "And I did it my way..." I don't care what the directions say! I'm going to build this bitch like Frank Sinatra!
5. | frank sinatra | ||
The greatest pop singer ever to grace the Earth. From his early career with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, through his late Reprise years, Sinatra was called "the Signature Voice." His Capitol recordings are among the finest pieces of music in existance. Sinatra revolutionized the recording industry when he made his transition from Columbia Records to Captiol in 1952-1953. He pionnered the shift from band centered music, with a singer stuck in, to a style in which the singer was the center piece (it remains so to this day). In addition to being an indescribable singer, he was also a terrific film actor, garnering such awards as an Oscar for his performance in "From Here to Eternity," in 1953. Other singers preceeded and followed Sinatra, including Nat "King" Cole, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Ella Fitzgerald, and Tony Bennett, but none had the flare Frankie did. Examples of these are: "Our Love is Here to Stay," "I've Got the World on a String," "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Come Fly With Me," "I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plans," and "Moonlight in Vermont." He had 20 consecutive top-ten albums, and his song "Nice~N~Easy" was song of the year for 1960 (take that Beetles!)
Me: "There's a definition on UrbanDictionary that has Frank Sinatra listed as the greatest pop singer of all." Mr. Katchko: "Ooooh K, we aren't the least bit biased, are we?" Me: "No, Mr. Katchko, we all know it's the truth." |
6. | Frank Sinatra | ||
1. Idyllic singer from Hoboken the likes of which we havent seen in years. Said to have a voice that could "calm a lion and be a lion at the sam time." 2. Man who was the leader of The Ratpack and whose career never ended until he died. In reality it still hasn't ended because so many people still listen to him. 3. God 1.
His voice was so great people said it reminded them of Sinatra 2. That cat's so cool he looks like he could have his own Ratpack like Sinatra did. 3. Person 1 - Is that God? Person 2 - Close, its Sinatra Person 1 - Same thing |
7. | Frank Sinatra | ||
The Original Gangster/Musician. A pimp in all aspects of the word. Unlike todays so called "Gangsta rap stars" Sinatra was a badass yes still had class. Frank Sinatra was way cooler and more talented then Notorious B.I.G, Tupac, and all the rest of the so called gangsta rappers put together.

Former Lenoir-Rhyne Baseball Player Brian Dice Called Up By The Jamestown Jammers
June 16, 2012
Former Bear to play in the Short Season Class A New YorkPenn League
Lenoir-Rhyne University's Brian Dice, a four-year letterwinner for the Bears (2008-11), has been assigned to the Jamestown Jammers of the Short Season Class A's New York-Penn League. |
Jamestown, N.Y. - Brian Dice, a former member of the Lenoir-Rhyne Baseball Team, has been called up by the Jamestown Jammers. Jamestown is a part of the New York-Penn League which competes at the Short-Season Class A Level. The Jammers are an affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
Jamestown's 2012 season begins on Monday, June 18, against Mahoning Valley at home starting at 7:05 p.m.
Dice signed a free agent contract last summer with the Marlins and played in the Gulf Coast Rookie League in Jupiter, Fla.
Dice was a four-year letterwinner (2008-11) for the Bears who earned All-South Atlantic Conference honors in 2010 and 2011 while playing both catcher and designated hitter for Lenoir-Rhyne.
Dice also started all four years for Lenoir-Rhyne and finished his collegiate career with a .350 batting average, 31 home runs and 160 runs batted in. Dice also hit safely in 22 straight games once.
As a junior in 2010, Dice put together one of the best offensive seasons in school history when he batted .435 with 16 home runs, 59 runs batted in and a .806 slugging percentage en route to All-SAC First-Team and NCAA Division II All-Southeast Region honors.
Dice was also selected to the North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association (NCCSIA) College Division All-State Baseball Team twice (2010-11).

I'm perfectly open to the idea that ghosts may exist - it's just that I'm not so certain I actually want to see them.
Driving down a rural road where the darkness seems to swallow lumens, I'm often briefly taken with the idea that I want to see something spooky on the road in front of me, or something evil in my rearview mirror.
That lasts about a minute or so, until the hair starts to stand up on the back of my neck, and I change my tune to something in a major key. As recent supernatural films point out, engaging with entities from the "other side" is an invitation to allow them permanent entry into your world.
And what good is that? Ghosts appear to be capricious at best. They grab steering wheels and direct drivers into oncoming traffic, instead of alerting the living that a tire is about to blow on the highway, or that they should fill up a washer fluid bottle in advance of an unpredicted snowstorm.
My mother told me that people once spoke in hushed tones about a rash of reports concerning drivers who picked up mysterious hitchhikers. The passenger would announce that the end of the world was approaching, then disappear. I suppose the ghostly hitchhikers were right. The end of the world IS approaching, but given the eventual demise of the sun, you can pretty much predict that at any time and be technically correct. Ghosts are not known for precision.
This notion of ghosts riding as passengers in cars opens up a number of difficult questions. If their bodies are insubstantial, does that mean they have to mimic the way a corporeal being would sit down in the passenger seat? Do they have to send themselves hurtling at highway speeds through the air, just to match the vehicle's pace, so they can sit beside you, or stare dolefully into the rearview mirror? If so, we should cut them a little slack for prophecies of disputable value.
More questions.
Are ghosts anchored to a point in space and time where they died, left behind when the Earth or the solar system moves through the universe? Or do they generally respect the laws of matter and gravity? Do they think of a roadside cemetery where they were buried as home base and then rise occasionally? Or can they haunt a specific car and stick with it long past the vehicle warranty period?
I often drive with my dog, Angus, beside me. Would a ghost be more or less likely to appear in the presence of a family dog?
My guess is that it's a wash. The ghosts of humans don't care, and living dogs are probably most likely to attract the interest of ghost dogs we never see - who flit around the car and make them crazy for a few seconds before they disappear.
I once lived near Lucan, Ont., the home of the infamous, brawling Black Donnellys who were massacred by townsfolk in 1880.
The words of an old song well-known in the area:
Then as the shades of night draw nigh,
While parents quail and children cry,
The ghosts of the Donnellys will ride by,
Out on the Roman Line.
One Saturday night, a group of us decided we would drive out to the Roman Line, park the car and keep our eyes peeled for any supernatural activity. At around 4 am, cold and disappointed, we headed to the nearest 7-Eleven for Slurpees and three-for-a-dollar hot dogs.
We may have been denied an other-worldly appearance because we were too demanding of celebrity ghosts with busy schedules.
Perhaps it was just the wrong night for the supernatural. Then again, it could be that ghosts are likelier to appear to a viewer alone. If I'd been braver, I might have gone by myself, exited the car and poked around in the weeds beside the road.
Of course, I might also have been found beside my car the next day, four way flashers blinking weakly, after having my head stove in by the ghostly shillelagh of James Donnelly.
If I were really that keen to see a ghost, I suppose I'd simply park in a churchyard night after night until something awful showed up. I'd probably drive out of there at top speed the moment I heard a twig snap.
"Sure, I want to see some solid proof that ghosts exist," I'd tell myself. "But not just yet. Not tonight at least."

Disney celebrated the 75th anniversary of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" with a special screening at The Walter Reade Theater. But beyond the wicked stepmother and poisonous apple, it was Disney Animator and Director Eric Goldberg who really shocked the crowd by explaining how the first full length animated feature was once ridiculed.
"They called it Disney's follie. All the pundits in Hollywood thought no way would a feature animated film would actually fly with audiences. They said, 'All that color it's gonna hurt your eyes,'" Goldberg said.
But when it was released it was an instant and phenomenal success spurring the thriving industry that continues today. Goldberg says the lighting and camera work was groundbreaking but also it's a story of big and small heroes that enchants adults and kids alike with the power of love, the joy of song and seven funny dwarfs.
And of course there was the obvious but important question to be asked, like who is your favorite dwarf?
"Dopey," said one young movie goer.
"Dopey because he's funny," said another.
"Probably Doc actually. I love Dopey, Dopey's really funny but I love the animation on Doc because he's trying to be officious but he always trips over his words," Goldberg said.
It seems there's a little bit of each of the film's characters in all of us. And that's why Snow White remains one of the fairest of them all.

I have no particular love for Bella or Twilight in general, but something that has been bouncing around in my mind is whether or not she is the hero, the savior of the Twilight world. I'm not really talking about whether she was a protaganist or antagonist. She was definitely the main character and good even though she did cause a lot of problems, she somehow did it without becoming a villian, but she didn't really seem to accomplish anything other than becoming a vampire. So, if she's not the hero and not the villian, what kind of character is she?
He did things only stalkers would do, watching her while she slept,
At that time they were not lovers yet, and he behaved like any typical vampire would do: he stalked his prey.
forbidding her to see certain people, even disabling her car.
Again - any normal boyfriend would do the same, when pushy guy tries to steal girlfriend. Believe me, I know :D
Jacob believed with every fiber of his being that he was doing the right thing.
He is not smart.
Edward definitely and severely emotionally abused Bella
Actually Jacob gets more ponts. It was Jacob (not Edward) who called Bellai n words, abused her friends - both humans and vampires, tried to make decisions for her, fooled her, kissed her without her permission.
And... you mentioned that Edward forbids her to see certain people... but did you notice that Bella during her friendship with Jacob does not spend her time with schoolmates? Edward is more polite and social with them...
In the end, it wasn't all about love. It was about how Bella made her choice, despite everyone's objections and the simple logic.
It is movie not book. Melissa Rosenberg rewrote the story and many of us hate it. But Twilight book is all about love.
I am thoroughly shocked that you would even suggest that.
The kiss was out of line, but hardly sexual.
I am still very shocked.
which kiss?
Hm, let's see, there was only two. One that Jake took, another that he was given. Which one do you think I was talking about?
yeesh, that is so wrong. seriously. Nobody thought about it that way.
I was lost about "hardly sexual" part. So you mean, it was sexual??
This is making me want to curse.
You said Jacob sexually abused Bella. If you don't mean when he kissed her, then WHEN and WHERE did he sexually abuse her?
Haha, I did not exactly understand what you mean. Sometimes it happens with my English.
My apologizes!!
i know she is the main character and there wold be no twilight with out her but i can't stand bella. i don't know why i just can't. its like when u dislike someone but u don't really know why.

The goal is to post pics of every C #'ed spyderco model ever produced and have the post # correspond to all the model numbers that have already been produced. I will also add a few empty posts so I can go back in the future and plug in the model #'s that have yet to make its way to the public. If mods think this is in any way not cool then please lock her down.
I have personal pics of many models but would very much so appreciate any help with pics I do not have or ones you feel I should add to the posts. Just pm them off to me and I will give you credit for whatever is used.
Im determined to make this work so in order to do so I will have to bump the heck out of this picture forum. Its pretty late at night so not many will notice until they log in tomorrow and see a new thread with 100+ posts. Many of the post will be empty but you have my word Spyderco that I will do everything in my power to go back and add content/pics to them.
Let me start with the good ole

I am not entirely sure this is the right forum to ask this question, so please let me know if a different forum is better suited.
I have a bundle, which depends on org.springframework.beans, org.springframework.context and org.springframework.core. I downloaded all bundles from the SpringSource Bundle Repository. I tried with version 2.5.6 and 2.5.6.A, same result.
Additionally, in my Eclipse target, I have spring bundles org.springframework.aop, org.springframework.jdbc, org.springframework.orm, org.springframework.transaction, org.springframework.web and org.springframework.web.servlet, because some other plugins I develop depend on these (working on an Eclipse RCP application, which uses spring remoting to talk to a server part, which uses spring and hibernate).
Now if I try to export my plugin, I get the following error message:
Asking eclipse for the dependencies between plugins, one can also see that org.springframework.context depends on ...orm, which depends on ...transaction, which in turn depends on ...context.Code:A cycle was detected when generating the classpath at MYPLUGIN, org.springframework.context_2.5.6.A, org.springframework.orm_2.5.6.A, org.springframework.transaction_2.5.6.A, org.springframework.context_2.5.6.A.
Is there something wrong with the definition of the spring bundles, or is it eclipse (or equinox), which does not correctly calculate dependencies or is not able to correctly resolve the dependencies?

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about some of the side effects associated with kidney cancer and its treatment. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your healthcare provider if you need to take any special precautions related to your specific treatment.
Side effects are common and you may experience different ones during your treatment. Medications and other therapies may help to either prevent or reduce side effects of treatment, or to manage certain side effects once they occur. You can develop side effects from the treatment and/or from the cancer itself. Tell your doctor when you notice a new symptom, and ask him or her if any of these treatments are appropriate for you.
A loss of appetite is common during cancer treatment. Fatigue, nausea dry mouth, and loss of taste can all play a part in reducing your desire to eat. To manage this common side effect, consider:
Chemotherapy and radiation can cause nausea and vomiting. To treat this side effect your doctor may prescribe an anitnausea drug. Some patients also find hypnosis, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, and acupuncture helpful. Eat frequent, small meals; sip water throughout the day; and avoid fatty, spicy, or greasy foods. You may want to talk to a dietician about other ways you can lessen nausea and vomiting with diet.
You can develop a rash or your skin can become red and tender from your treatment. To treat skin irritations:
Fatigue is extremely common in cancer patients. Medications, low red blood cell levels, emotional stress, pain medications, and lack of appetite can all cause fatigue. Based on what is causing your fatigue your doctor may recommend medications, a blood transfusion, a change in pain medications, talking to a therapist, exercise, and/or vitamins. Getting adequate rest and listening to your body when you need to rest are also an important part of treating fatigue.
Chemotherapy can cause the mouth and/or lips to develop sores. To manage this side effect:
Going through treatment for cancer is stressful. You may benefit from a support group or talking to a therapist or clergy member. Your doctor or nurse can help you find the right type of emotional support for you.
Cancer drugs work by attacking cells that divide quickly. Not only do cancer cells divide quickly, so do blood cells. Depending upon your treatment you may experience side effects that affect your blood cells, making you more prone to infection. Other side effects include bruising easily, fatigue, and bleeding easily.
Chemotherapy frequently causes hair loss. If your hair falls out wear a scarf or hat to protect the skin on your scalp. Consider wearing a wig.
Medications, especially pain medicines, can cause constipation. Eat whole grain foods and drink plenty of fluids to avoid constipation. Staying active with exercise is also a good way to prevent this side effect.
Diarrhea can occur with certain cancer treatments. If you have diarrhea avoid caffeine, alcohol, spicy or fatty foods, and large meals. Replenish lost fluids with juice, broth, water, or a replacement fluid.
Opioid analgesics may be ordered to control pain or discomfort. They include the following drugs:
Opioid analgesics act on the central nervous system to relieve pain. These drugs can be very effective. They may cause dependence, and patients will need increasing doses to obtain the same pain relief. If you are going to take one of these drugs for a long period of time, your doctor will closely monitor you.
Percocet is a combination medication. An opioid analgesic and acetaminophen used together may provide better pain relief than either medicine used alone. In some cases, lower doses of each medicine are necessary to achieve pain relief.
The most common side effects of opioid analgesics include:
Use each of these medications as recommended by your healthcare provider, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your healthcare provider.

Selected Topics in Health Law Seminar (4400)
The seminar will focus on two important topics in practice of health law: litigation under the the Civil False Claims Act, and the advent of "accountable care organizations." The first topic, addressing what are known as qui tam actions, involves one of the most important tools used by the Federal Government and by whistleblowers in fighting fraud and abuse. The second topic looks at new entities that typically provide organized care to a group of patients using "evidence based medicine." In order to understand "accountable care organizations" one must deal with virtually every aspect of the practice of corporate health care. Successful completion of the Health Law survey course is recommended.
