"Great option for including that bit of extra information much needed by your guests. This design offered space for a large amount of text on a small card. We used it to write a short note to our guests. Included on ours were accommodation options, preferred dress, and a bit about the venue of the ceremony. Loved the little detail of the drawing on the back. Very clean design!"
"I changed the direction card to Accommodations card. WPD was very helpful in customizing my text. Once I received the finished product it looked great. Pink text at the top matches the Tea Rose invitation perfectly & paper thickness matched the invitation."
"This small card provided the perfect way to add extra information to the invitation about website and registry that is not typically part of the formal invitation. I wish the card had been slightly larger. After the creative team sent the first proof , they were able to "tweek" the colors and get them just right. The customer service representative was profoundly knowledgeable and listened to everything that I mentioned to her. Overall, this product and the ordering experience was superb."
"I thought this was the perfect card for a relationship that has gone on for quite a while. I used the wedding colors in the card. The direction card has some body to it which I think is good for folks who need the printed card."
"Our designer helped us with our response cards and invitations but did BY FAR the most work on the enclosure cards. She let us do front and back, organized everything so perfectly, and suggested different ways for us to lay everything out. I couldn't be more appreciative or happy with how they came out!"

Beckham For First Time Says He Wants To Leave Galaxy For Milan
Published February 5, 2009
|Beckham Enjoys Highest Level
Of Competition In Italy
NOT WANTING TO BURN BRIDGES: Beckham admitted that he is "not sure" how the Galaxy would respond to the news and that he is "wary of upsetting Leiweke, with whom he has had a good relationship." In London, Graham Spiers reports AC Milan attorney Leandro Cantamessa yesterday "joined forces with Beckham's advisers in discussion" with Leiweke about releasing Beckham from his MLS contract. A permanent move to Milan by Beckham "would not fall foul of UEFA's transfer window restrictions if Galaxy agreed to cancel his contract" (LONDON TIMES, 2/5). Also in London, Nick Harris writes with Galaxy's blessing, a permanent transfer "should be agreed quickly, in which case Milan would need to pay Galaxy a transfer fee." Beckham has a "get-out clause in his Galaxy contract but cannot trigger it without financial penalties until October" (London INDEPENDENT, 2/5).
POWER PLAY: SI.com's Jonah Freedman writes for the "first time in MLS history, the Galaxy have huge leveraging power over one of the preeminent soccer clubs in the entire world." The Galaxy "may have no choice but to let Beckham go, but they also have a unique opportunity to hold him hostage until they get something from Milan -- something beyond the eight-figure cash offer that inevitably will be [thrown] their way." Freedman lists "three bargaining chips the Galaxy can demand" from Milan: a suitable replacement player, a visit from Milan and a "beneficial partnership" (FANNATION.com, 2/5).
Beckham Boosted Attendance
Throughout MLS While With Galaxy
HE BROUGHT ATTENTION TO LEAGUE: ESPN's Tommy Smyth deemed Beckham's time with the Galaxy as a success. Smyth: "What other player in MLS can bring the world's attention to look at MLS? ... This man was everywhere, in every newspaper you got and every magazine. It was a success, maybe not football-wise, but certainly from a marketing point of view." While admitting MLS will "take a hit" with the loss of Beckham, Smyth said, "The league's only an infant league. It has a lot of time to go. They will miss David Beckham, but it's not the end of the world" ("ESPN First Take," ESPN2, 2/5).

Can I Edit My Data After Importation?Asked by SaintsWebmaster on February 14, 2015 at 03:46 AM
I would like to be able to preserve the import date or edit it after import. Is this possible?
This is a re-post of a comment on Import App: Easily import your Excel or CSV data into JotForm
Hello Corina,
Yes it is possible for you to do this. Please note the instructions below on how to get this done.
Do let us know if further assistance is needed.
But the Submission Date is not one of the fields on the form. Click edit and look for Submission Date please.
Submission date and Submission ID are generic read only fields that are created and placed in every form's submission report when though they are not displayed on your form. These fields cannot be changed compared to other fields on your form. Are these the fields you would like to amend?
Yes because I am importing data from Adobe Forms Central. The submission time is the time of import.
The Long Story
There was a form in Adobe Forms Central.
The form was imported into Jot Forms.
I replaces the Name Text fields with the Full Name from Quick Tools (First Name, Last Name).
I replaced the phone number next with Phone from Quick Tools.
I replace the address text box with the Address from Quick Tools.
I then deleted all the imported submissions and tried to import from a CSV file.
Even when I formatted the name Last Name, First Name - the name did not import.
The submission times were set to the import date.
JotForm Support
Submissions Date is only generated on the server side and does not accept data from import as of the moment.
The workaround is to add a DateTime field to your form (it's under Quick Tools) and then hide it so it is not seen on the live form. (Right click the field then Hide Field). Now, on your form submissions page you will see a separate column for DateTime field. This is where you are going to import your submissions date by of course following the import guide columns here. http://import.jotform.io/
With regards to the other fields, just make sure the column names matched exactly on the example provided after selecting a form.
Hope this helps. Regards!

It's not too early to start thinking about the 10nm process node and beyond - but such advanced process nodes will require a significant change in the semiconductor design ecosystem, according to Jongwook Kye, fellow for lithography modeling and architecture at GLOBALFOUNDRIES. At the recent CDNLive Silicon Valley 2013 conference, Kye made the case for a new level of collaboration called Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO).
Kye's presentation was titled Technology and Design Co-Optimization for 10nm and Beyond. The presentation had 9 co-authors, including Jason Sweis of Cadence. Presentation slides are available at the CDNLive Silicon Valley proceedings site (after logging in, look for session AVD201 under Advanced Node/3D-IC).
Kye began his presentation by noting that process technology development and design are separate "islands," and that technology developers "ship" information to designers using process design kits (PDKs). But this one-way delivery is no longer good enough. "We have to work together with design-aware technology and technology-aware design," Kye said. "What I propose is not a delivery [of PDKs], it is DTCO."
Getting Moore's Law Back on Track
Kye noted that the cost per transistor predicted by Moore's Law held mostly true over numerous process generations, but went off track with 20nm. That's because of the added cost of double patterning. The gap is expected to widen a bit more with 14nm FinFET technology. We can bring the cost curve back on track at 10nm, but only with DTCO, Kye said. "If we just ship PDKs from island to island, we will not be able to get there."
So how can process technology development and design work together? As shown in the diagram below, a starting point is lithography process selection. From this selection, it's possible to identify such characteristics as baseline pitches, critical dimension uniformity (CDU), and overlay. Resolution enhancement technology (RET) must be factored into technology development early. A library, physical layouts, and lithography simulation are then required. The outcome is a set of comprehensive design rules.
Design Technology Co-optimization involves many steps. (GLOBALFOUNDRIES presentation, CDN Live Silicon Valley 2013)
Library development is one of the most challenging aspects of this process, and physical library architecture is a key starting point, Kye noted. Ultra-regular layouts can be very beneficial, but there are a lot of options and tradeoffs to consider. One possibility is making the top metal layer uni-directional, which requires vertical local interconnect and results in fewer fins. As Kye noted, "you have to sacrifice something" to get a cost reduction.
FinFETs "require a lot of attention," Kye said. First, they need gridded rules, resulting in a physical rule challenge for dense libraries. A second requirement is 3D aware layout-versus-schematic (LVS) and parasitic extraction.
Double Patterning and More
Much of Kye's talk was devoted to multiple patterning, which he identified as the "only practical solution" for back end of line (BEOL) semiconductor processes at 20nm and below. There are several approaches to double patterning. Litho-etch, litho-etch (LELE) is the primary technology used at 20nm, but it has some challenges. These include overlay, via alignment, and contact hole pattern CDU.
Even if a library cell follows all the double patterning rules and is DRC clean, there could be a colorization problem when two cells are placed together. Should you flip a cell or create more space between cells? This is "another complicated decision" that requires DTCO, Kye said - "we need to deliver a consensus from working together."
Kye talked about a lower-cost alternative to LELE called litho-freeze litho-etch (LFLE). It reduces cost because it eliminates one etch cycle. However, it's hard to make a trench using this technology. "Once you freeze it, there is no way to punch through it. That's why you don't hear about LFLE," he said.
Can we avoid triple patterning at 10nm and below? Kye's answer was "no," especially for library cells. But we can be creative with smart designs and minimize our use of triple patterning, Kye said. "Let's work together - there's no way to do it with separate islands."
Finally, Kye talked about self-aligned double patterning (SADP), a somewhat complicated process involving sidewall deposition and removal of features with a "block mask." SADP allows more aggressive pitch scaling and avoids the overlay problems of LELE. Compared to LELE, SADP has less impact on net capacitance variation and less impact on RC delay variation.
Kye showed an example of a layout that could not be decomposed in LELE because it would cause a colorization conflict - but it could be decomposed in SADP. However, the router "needs to treat SADP differently from LELE," Kye said. For example, the router needs to consider the pin accessibility difference between LELE and SADP.
Kye's conclusion: "Let's not hesitate to work together. There's no boundary. If we work together we can get better results. The future is waiting for us."

If you're serious about advancing your career and yourself, you have to be serious about your communication and speaking skills. "The best ideas not communicated do not exist." -Alex Kouts The Cheat Sheet: What is the rule of three and how does it apply to communication? How many presentations are given every hour around the world? Alex explains how and when to use humor in communication. How to properly use visuals when speaking. What the Challenger disaster can teach us about slides. And so much more... Supposedly human beings fear public speaking more than anything, including death! Our guest for today says there's sociological and scientific reasoning for that fear, he also explains what it is and how we can overcome it. Alex Kouts, a former guest of The Art of Charm, returns to talk about how public speaking impacts ourcommunication. He also shares how public speaking can improve our communication and make a differencein our lives, even if we aren't giving a speech or presentation. Listen in for all of that and moreon episode 393 of The Art of Charm. Click Here to Support The Show and Check Out Host Gator! More About This Show: Alex Kouts has been given public speeches and presentations for a very long time, and he'll be the first to tell you he still gets nervous. The nerves are far less than they were the first time he spoke in front of an audience, but they're still there. From a scientific and sociological perspective it makes perfect sense for Alex and for the rest of us to fear public speaking. Back in our caveman days if we spoke in front of the tribe and said something stupid, we were kicked out. And back then if you were kicked out of the group there was a very real chance you would die out in the wild on your own. Obviously that's no longer the case for us as humans, but the fear of speaking in front of groups still exists. Today Alex shares some practical tips for making the experience more comfortable for everyone. We talk about several topics includingthe importance of body language and the hows and whys of rewarding your listeners. On the topic of body language Alex shares this rule with us: the 73855 rule. Seven percent of our communication is translated with our words, 38% with our intonation, inflection and vocal expression and 55% is translated through our body language. Clearly body language is important. He goes into detail on what to do and what not to do with your body while speaking, but one important question many people ask is what to do with their hands. Alex says not to point to the audience, don't put them at your side and don't cross your body with them. Instead, move your hands in context with what you're saying and use them to emphasize the important points. Another trick Alex gives away is the reward system. He often starts his speeches or presentations by telling his audience he loves questions, loves 'em! He explains to his audience what he'll give them if they do raise their hand and ask a great question. So he sets them up: he tells them what he wants them to do, tells them what their reward will be and then rewards them when they do it. On this episode he gives a few terrific real-life examples on the reward system, plus he shares how to use visuals during a speech and why all of this matters, even if you aren't going to be giving a speech any time soon.Alex and I dive in deep on those topics and more, so listen in to hear it all.

bought this for my son who absolutely loves it! He was a little scared to try it out at first but since then has really mastered it! He is 7 years old, but a really small 7 year old. it fits him perfectly! Speed is exciting for him but safe for Mom to watch! Only thing to complain about so far is that the speed is all or nothing...no slow speed. It goes 14 mph. He has rode it in grass, mud, water, and on concrete and limestone....its gone through it all!

My 8 year old loves his so much, that now I am buying one for my 6 year old for Christmas. I recommend if you have a concrete driveway to mist the concrete with water to make the drifter cart slide a little better and not tear up the wheels so fast.

Fast!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.nanaAlex8 months ago
We bought this online over Black Friday and it took a LONG time to get here when the store had them in stock. The information online said they were out so we ordered Thanksgiving night. Had to pay $20 to ship then took forever. We finally got service recovery involved and a refund for shipping was made as well as a discount for the trouble. So that was reconciled nicely in the end. Our grandson just got to play in it for the first time and he loved it! It is fast and has lots of features, ... including MP3 player. We got a good buy in the end and Academy did make things right.

Great ToyThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Kwalke128 months ago
We bought two of them from Academy. We have twins and needed something that wasn't 300 plus dollars. It was a breeze to put together and although the kids haven't tried it yet, I know they will love it. You can hook the cord up and have music, it has a cool cup holder, lights and a horn. Very happy with it.

Excellent Starter Go-Cart for kidsThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.rocco78692 years ago
Santa brought this to us for my 8yo daughter. She has bugged me everyday to go outside so she can ride her go-cart. Charging is simple for a couple hours to fully charge, several hrs of riding off and on the way she does. The tires wear quickly on asphalt surface so I already bought another set at about $65 for all 4. I also added some 12v LED "Headlights" so she can ride up and down the street after dusk and still be seen.
Great little cart for beginnersThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.CTagg2 years ago
Santa brought it for my 8yo daughter. She doesn't really like the 2 wheeled electric scooter so he thought this would allow her to play with the rest of the neighborhood kids. Easy to assemble with a few basic hand tools, takes a couple hours to fully charge but then goes on forever on a single charge. I added some LED Headlights so she can ride the street after dark. It does have a rough ride with no suspension on our asphalt street. The tires are hard rubber and look to be wearing pretty quick ... so I went ahead and bought spares, all 4 for around $70. Overall I thinkit was a sound investment. It has held up well for over a month now.

Makes Funny noiseThis reviewer rated product 3 out of 5 stars.Becky2398045 months ago
Bought this for our 7 year old son. Received very fast and was very happy with Academy, however after only riding this dirt rocket for 1 1/2 days it now makes a very loud clunking noise in the front end and have yet to find support somewhere to help figure out what is wrong. This was the perfect size and if we can get this figured out will definitely be something that we will be able to use for years.

A Tucson firm is hoping to launch Arizonans toward the edge of space – or maybe somewhere close to that – from Southern Arizona.
Now they need state lawmakers to clear the path.
The plan by Paragon Space Development Corp. is to use a balloon to float passengers up 20 miles in a capsule, leave them there to ooh and aah at the view for about two hours and then parachute the whole mechanism back to earth. They could wind up 300 miles downrange but would be flown back to the launch site.
Costs and logistics aside, company CEO and co-founder Taber MacCallum said he has another hurdle to overcome: Getting the required insurance. But he can't do that until Arizona law is amended to spell out, in black and white, that passengers engaged in space travel can waive their right to sue if something goes wrong – and that such agreements are valid and enforceable in Arizona courts.
And a measure sponsored by Rep. Ethan Orr, R-Tucson, to do just that, which already has cleared the House, is set for Senate debate on Monday.
MacCallum, who is heading up Paragon's World View Enterpises subsidiary that will operate the flights, said the Federal Aviation Administration, which governs what his company wants to do, requires passengers be warned of the risks.
He said federal law made sure that those who were injured could not sue the federal government, but there is nothing that spells out a similar option for immunity for those who operate space tours. And without that, MacCallum said, he could not get the required insurance.
HB 2163, if it becomes law, takes care of that paperwork problem.
That still leaves the logistics.
MacCallum said his engineers looked at the model that Richard Branson is pursuing with his plans for Virgin Galactic flights. That involves jetting up to over 60 miles, to a point of weightlessness, staying there for a few minutes, and then descending back to earth.
Reservations for that are being priced at $250,000.
MacCallum said his company's alternative involves much simpler technology: Use a helium balloon to lift the capsule, carrying a pilot, a copilot who also will be in charge of "making sure the food's good and the champagne's flowing," and six passengers. The balloon would take the capsule up to about 20 miles where it would float along with the winds and then disconnect from the balloon and glide back to earth with a parasail, essentially a steerable parachute.
That's not only cheaper – initial reservations are being priced at $65,000 with a $5,000 non-refundable deposit – but has the advantage of giving the travelers a longer experience.
"We launch before dawn and get up to altitude, essentially floating on top of the earth's atmosphere, and watch the sun rise from space, the meander over the terrain for a couple of hours and come back mid that day," he said.
Plans are to launch the craft from Page. MacCallum said it turns out that's one of the best areas in the country to launch a high-altitude balloon.
The where of coming back is a bit trickier.
MacCallum said his company has "pretty good models" of the air currents at that elevation, and he said the plan is to launch a small weather balloon a few hours before the flight.
That, he said, should lay out the trajectory the capsule will follow a bit later.
"It's not going to be perfect," MacCallum conceded. That's why his company has arranged to have a series of potential landing sites all along the path from launch to potentially the furthest touchdown.
And with the parasail being steerable, he said, it's not like a typical balloon that bumps down wherever it lands.
MacCallum said how far the capsule might travel depends on the time of the year.
"There could be days where we come right back to where we started," he said. "And there certainly could be days when we're 300 miles away."
At that farthest point, he said, the cost of the trip includes airfare back to the launch point.
And, just in case there was a question, that $65,000 fare includes the campaign and munchies.
"That would just be cheesy to say, here you are at 100,000 feet, looking at the view, and, oh, that champagne will be $10," he laughed.
Paragon already has named former astronaut Mark Kelly as its director of flight crew operations.
MacCallum said he will be training other pilots but, for the moment, not piloting the capsule himself because he lacks the necessary balloon experience, but he said that shouldn't take long.
"He's flown just about everything else," he said of Kelly.
At this point, plans are to have commercial operations by sometime in 2016.
The plans for space travel are a bit of a departure from what has been the core business for the 20-year-old firm. But it's not a huge leap.
He said Paragon started out working on things like life support for spacecraft as well as space suits and even diving equipment for the Navy.
But MacCallum said the national climate has changed and there's less interest in space exploration.
"We don't really have a mission right now," he said. And then there's what he called "the increasing chaos in Washington."
"We thought we'd better find a way to diversify," MacCallum explained, moving into business areas that are purely commercial and not dependent on government contracts. That led the company to take a closer look at Branson's privately funded push into space tourism – and if there were a different way of doing the same thing.
The needed legislation almost never got off the ground.
As originally crafted by company lobbyists, HB 2163 spelled out, word for word, exactly what the liability waiver would say. It even got into petty details like the size of the type and the fact the waiver had to be signed by a "competent witness."
That got the attention of Rep. Eddie Farnsworth, R-Gilbert. Farnsworth, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee through which the legislation had to pass, didn't like the idea at all.
"I don't think government should be giving limited liability to private companies," he said.
But Farnsworth said he also understands that, without legislative blessing for a waiver, there would be no insurance – and no space flight. So he agreed to back off if the extensive measure was rewritten solely to authorize passengers to sign a waiver, with the state not involved in exactly how that should be crafted.

It's too early to write Maxïmo Park off, or to turf them into the ever-growing pile of indie also-rans. But they'll need to pull out all the stops to recover their poise after this worrying misstep.
Howard Devoto, Edwyn Collins, Elizabeth Frazer, John Squire, Will Sargent, Barney Sumner, David Gedge, Damon Albarn, Lee Mavers, Norman Blake, Harriet Wheeler, Pete Wiley, Michael Head, Shaun Ryder. Shaun Ryder, your boys have taken a hell of a beating.
Happen across this year's Brit and NME awards and – aside from the realisation that the slow transformation of Bobby Gillespie and Mani into the baggy Kevin and Perry is now finally complete – what struck most forcefully was (those Arctic Monkeys aside) the absolute absence of any blue-blooded pretenders to the high seat of UK indie.
Watching The Fratellis, The Dirty Pretty Things, Hard-Fi, The Klaxons, Bloc Party, The Kaiser Chiefs – the supposed head-boys of the current class – exercise their particularly stagnant brew of anti-charisma, it became clear that the continued dearth of new GB talent can no longer be brushed off as a seasonal drought – it's looking more and more like a long term climatic trend.
On the back of their intriguing (but over-praised) debut album, A Certain Trigger, some normally reliable sources have been tipping Newcastle's Maxïmo Park as the band most likely to develop into something worthwhile and durable. Tracks like 'Graffiti' and 'Apply Some Pressure' hinted at a depth notably lacking in many of their peers, and Paul Smith's lyrics – all chatroom blues and call centre fatalism – not to mention his refusal to ditch his hometown accent when singing, suggested a welcome flesh-and-blood approach to his craft.
Hopes were high – especially when it became clear that Smith had sorted out his diabolical hairdo (a cross between Willy Wonka and George Foreman) – that the second album could see Maxïmo Park make genuine strategic gains.
How disappointing then to discover it's actually a backward step.
Our Earthly Pleasures starts well, with the buoyant 'Girls Who Play Guitar' and first single 'Our Velocity', but it never maintains the momentum – and ultimately drifts off without leaving any great impression.
There are occasions when it threatens to take off. 'Your Urge' is a lovely, melancholic song ("People are judged by their mistakes and how much money that they make"), and the chiming 'Nosebleed' ("He changed his look for you but you changed your life for him") exposes a real heart and sense of compassion, while cascading like an old out-take from R.E.M's Reckoning. But apart from that, nothing much remarkable happens.
You have to feel some sympathy for Smith. Post-Jarvis, there has been a glaring vacancy for the role as bookish frontman of the people, and Maxïmo Park's singer seemed to have the job in the bag. Unfortunately, all the evidence suggests that (with a tendency to bloggerel) he has been promoted prematurely and wildly above his ability, and the vignettes on the new record are more Richard Stillgoe than Alan Sillitoe.
With Gil Norton behind the desk, we could also be forgiven for expecting much more, sonically, than is delivered. This is the man who brought gorgeous embellishments to 'The Killing Moon' and 'Monkey Gone To Heaven', remember. Unfortunately, while the chugging guitars and driving synths on Our Earthly Pleasures are rendered with pristine élan, the air-less, digital sheen leaves it depressingly generic.
It's too early to write Maxïmo Park off, or to turf them into the ever-growing pile of indie also-rans. But they'll need to pull out all the stops to recover their poise after this worrying misstep. And call on inspiration from some of their illustrious forbearers.
The mighty Maximo Park have announced what promises to be a super-sweaty February 28 visit to Whelan's, tickets for which are €22.50 and go on sale on Wednesday. You can also catch them early on March 1 in The Limelight, Belfast where it's £16.50 in.Read More

Maxïmo Park could have easily disappeared into the slew of angular, affected guitar bands that emerged in the UK last year, but two factors helped them stay on the muso radar.

It's been quite a year for Maxïmo Park, one that's seen them emerge as a band with real longevity as opposed to mere scenesters. They've done it through a succession of thrilling singles of which 'Apply Some Pressure' was the first and, now through the magic of the re-issue, is probably the last for the moment. With new material already starting to appear over the horizon it's a case of job done and see you next year.Read More

Track after track comes out of the speakers, nipping at your ankles like some overexcited dog that you can't shake off no matter how hard you try. The production from Bloc Party/Futureheads man Paul Epworth is sparkling and the songs wed pop and punk in perfect manner, all delivered in the deliciously broad Newcastle tones of singer Paul Smith. It reaches a crescendo with the glorious 'Going Missing', at which point it seems that Maximo Park can do no wrong. Unfortunately, from then in they start to struggle a tad.Read More
'Apply Some Pressure' is an absolutely fantastic record, bursting with the kind of wide eyed energy that has made all this sort of stuff so exciting.Read More

Ok so I finally got round to watching Transformers 3 tonight after missing out on seeing it at the cinema, and I have to be 100% honest here.. I really didn't like it. Sure it wasn't as bad as Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen (I'll get to that in a second), but it just felt like they'd recycled bits of the last few movies & dragged it out a bit long in parts. Don't get me wrong this is not me saying it's un-Godly awful because there are some pretty cool bits in there, but it just felt like another typical Michael Bay movie (things explode, lots of screaming, fancy special effects etc... that kind of stuff) and there's only so many times you can do that.
So with that said this brings me on to the main point of this topic, why DO movie franchises end up sucking after the original? I know there has been some that have surpassed the original such as Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Bad Boys 2 for example. Here are a few examples:
Aliens 3/Aliens:Resurrection
Batman Forever & Batman & Robin
Blair Witch 2: The Book Of Shadows
Blues Brothers 2000
Conan: The Destroyer
Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer
The Friday The 13th sequels
Home Alone 3 & 4
Indiana Jones: The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
Jaws 3 & Jaws: The Revenge (I deliberately left out Jaws 2 because as far as sequels go I didn't think it was that bad)
Jurassic Park: The Lost World & Jurassic Park 3
The two Matrix sequels
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
Mr Bean's Holiday
The Mummy Returns & The Mummy 3: The Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor
The Resident Evil sequels
Robocop 2 & 3
Shark Attack 2 & Shark Attack: Megalodon
Son Of The Mask
Speed 2: Cruise Control
The classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequels
Terminator 3 and Terminator: Salvation
Transformers 2
Spider-Man 2 & 3 (I know I'll get bit of criticism for putting SM 2 in here, but I really didn't enjoy it as much as the first. But hey that's personal opinion )
Superman 2/3/4: The Quest For Peace
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequels
The 3 Star Wars prequels (Sorry guys but they were bad)
X-Men 3: The Last Stand
There are a few that I deliberately left out like the Nightmare On Elm Street, Rocky & Halloween franchises for example, simply because while they did have a few bad movies in there, they mostly had some pretty decent ones. So yeah why DO they end up sucking? I mean is it the writers fault for having a lousy script or the maybe it's having a lousy cast, what do you guys think?

HAMnet, SBE's "Chapter of the Air," was developed more than 20 years ago for those HAM operator-members who are not in close proximity to a local SBE chapter. It gives members a monthly chance to get caught up on up-to-date SBE information and discuss technical broadcast topics.
The "HF" HAMnet "Chapter of the Air" takes place on the second Sunday of every month at 0000 GMT. Hal Hostetler, WA7BGX, serves as Net Control. The published frequency is 14.205 MHz. Occasionally, that frequency is busy and you may need to move up (no more than 10 kHz) to find the SBE meeting.
In addition to the HF "Chapter of the Air", the SBE IRLP HAMnet is available. Based in Denver using the N0PQV 145.340 Rocky Mountain Radio League VHF repeater and the IRLP "Internet Repeater Linking Project" node #9615, the IRLP HAMnet is held on the first Saturday of each month at 11:00 am, U.S. Mountain Time, 1pm Eastern and on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm U.S. Mountain Time, 9:00 pm Eastern. It is also available as node 96150 *SBE* on ECHOLINK. You can go to http://www.ke0vh.com/net/net.html for all the details and meeting times.

Velvet Just Might Be the King of Fabrics
In a renovated Tudor beach house on the New Jersey shore, Colleen Bashaw conjures a riot of boho quirk and breezy seaside vibes for Scott Belair, the cofounder of Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie.More
Bashaw hoped to add the texture of a natural-fiber rug in the entryway without covering up the custom-patterned cement tile. So she installed a sisal rug on the wall: "We thought it would be a fun focal point," she says. The Norma pendant light is by Arteriors.
In the living room, Bashaw mixed natural textures with pops of color for an eclectic and relaxed ambience.

The Booher Difference
The most expensive training occurs when learners invest time, effort, and money in a course, only to return to the job without having mastered the concepts and skills or without being able to achieve the expected business results. While Booher maintains pricing that is in the middle range of the Association for Talent Development survey ranges, we pledge to deliver the highest quality for your investment. And we succeed!
Proprietary Content
Proprietary Content: Learn Practical Techniques and Strategies That Really Work
Our methodology, techniques, and strategies are not based on public domain information. Rather, our course content has been built on more than twenty years of first-hand experience with business professionals. Booher is involved in ongoing research in the field of communication, as evidenced by the more than 40 books published by major US publishers (Simon and Schuster, HarperCollins, Warner, Prentice Hall, McGraw-Hill). None of our programs are based on self-published works. Additionally, our program design involves accelerated learning principles to match the way adults learn.
Measurable Results
Measurable Results: Make Sure Your Investment Pays Off
All Booher courses include recognized standards of measurement first identified by Donald Kirkpatrick (levels 1-4 of measurement). All Booher courses include measurements at levels 1 and 2. Additionally, Booher can lead organizations to complete level 3 and level 4 measurements:
Level 1: Learner satisfaction survey
Level 2: Tests on skills, knowledge, or attitude
Level 3: Application of skills/knowledge on the job
Level 4: Impact of learning and on-the-job use of skills/knowledge to the organization's profitability
Multiple Formats for Delivery
Multiple Formats for Delivery: Stay Flexible for Delivering Training to Multiple Locations and Under Different Business Conditions
Booher offers its communication skills training programs to suit your diverse audience needs: in-house training, public workshops, licensing arrangements for client delivery on intranets or in the classroom, and self-study programs.
Customization of Programs
Customization of Programs: Use Ideas and Exercises Appropriate to Your Needs
One size does not fit all. Booher can either customize an existing communication training program or create "from scratch" a program focused on your objectives and communication issues, situations, documents, or presentations. To us, customizing does not mean simply changing a course title or adding a client logo on the workshop materials. True customization or program creation may involve creation of new exercises, development of unique job-aid references, change of emphasis, and feedback appropriate to learners' specific job functions. From oral communications skills, business writing training, interpersonal skills training, and more. Booher's target is to arm your team with the right communication skills to help them deliver results.
Appropriate Class Size and Use of Time
Appropriate Class Size and Use of Time: Ensure Time Is Well Spent with Ample Practice and Feedback—No Fluff
For both in-house and public writing and presentation skills training workshops, Booher maintains a small class size of 10 to 20 participants, depending on the course topic. Why? Small classes allow interactivity, questions from learners, personal feedback from instructor and peers, and ample practice time. Our 8-hour and 16-hour workshops include just that—8 or 16 hours of instruction, without distractions of sales pitches or back-of-the-room product sales.
Administrative Support to Clients
Administrative Support to Clients: Eliminate the Worry by Letting Us Handle the Details
Booher has the support staff to assist you with program delivery—from room diagrams and audiovisual coordination to course announcements, shipping details, and certificates of completion. We have enough certified communication skills instructors to deliver your program to hundreds of employees within a few weeks. You confirm the dates; we handle the rest.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is going to demand a special package of a whooping Rs 13.2 lakh crore from the centre for giving away the metro-city Hyderabad to Telangana state as part of the bifurcation. Its something like compensating the Seemandhra region which contributed for making the capital as one of the best cities in the country. All the development took place in & around Hyderabad over the year. This resulted in the under-development of Seemandhra's 13 districts.
Apparently, TDP Government has zeroed this amount as the special package and a resolution will be passed in the AP Assembly within the next few days. This amount would be used for building a world-class capital and development of the infrastructure in the state.
Although Centre doesn't have the kind of funds AP Government has been seeking, Modi-led NDA will assure that all the concerns can be addressed in the best possible manner. So, It's going to be a tough ride for TDP Government and Chandrababu Naidu!

A whole feature film this Steelbook has within it's good fun, a really nice steelbook great artwork. The Reason why I do not get more detailed about the colours & such is because this is purely artwork you would find by great artists on a comic Graphic Novel, poster. Just absolutely great stuff. That make a piece of steel a poster, a comic strip cover. Basically more personalised.& collectable.
The animated movie itself is one of the best Hulk story in the Marvel universe, so I hope that on time there will be a full length film created. The packaging itself is amazing, the exclusive steelbook looks pretty good. It has got now a bargain price, so it is highly recommended to collect it together with the other ones.
The steel book cover itself has a nice design on it which is a real positive however the film itself is only alright.
The same as my previous review about how awesome the steelbooks are, but here I'm gonna talk about the movie, because this is in my opinion marvel's best animated movie yet! First off, I'm a huge hulk fan, so I really loved how much respect the makers did to try and convert a rather very in depth story into a 1 hour 20 minute movie. It has some of the best action scene in any marvel animated movie. The only thing that did bother me is only 1 character that is more of an annoying character, rather then a badass one( I'm talking about Eloe). It is also lovely to see so many short cameos of rather famous comic book characters, like star lord, gamora, and even the Grandmaster makes an appearance! The best one however is the appearance of Beta Ray BIll( in the original it's silver surfer, but they couldn't use him for copy right reasons). This was the first time I was introduced to BRB and that was really awesome. Overall, loved the movie, going to watch it again some time soon !
A very enjoyable watch! Planet Hulk is one of my favourite graphic novels so being able to see it brought to life was an opportunity I couldn't pass up! Although this version doesn't follow the graphic novel storyline exactly it still covers all the main points albeit with a different ending. The animation is superb and the voice acting is spot on. The disc comes with a good selection of extras including (but not limited to) audio commentary and a making of. But enough and the film and it's extras, what about that steelbook?! The case is fantastic, the detail in the graphics on the front and rear of the case make them appear almost 3D, it's a beauty! If you're a fan of Hulk or Marvel in general I'd highly recommend you purchase this!
Beautiful artwork and fun movie definitely worth the second dip for this Steelbook.

Injectable dermal fillers are a nonsurgical option that can restore youthful fullness to your face, plump lips, enhance shallow contours or soften facial creases and wrinkles. Dermal fillers have been called "liquid facelifts" because they offer many of the benefits of a surgical facelift without the downtime.
Some dermal fillers are used in conjunction with other skin rejuvenation treatments such as injections of botulinum toxin (Botox) to create the best possible result.
At Serenity Rejuvenation Center we use only temporary fillers which are comprised of molecules that the body recognizes, so the risk of adverse reactions is very minimal.
We currently offer Juvederm dermal fillers. Juvederm can be used to augment the lips, fill in facial depressions, create contoured cheekbones and fill in under eye hollows.
If you are interested in Our Services, then contact Dr. Stephen M. O'Connell and Serenity Rejuvenation Center to set up free consultation.

Why you should let me sell you a new firewall
I see a lot of small businesses in the course of my work. Today, almost all have some form of Internet access and a firewall providing at least basic protection from the big bad world.
There is a wide range of deployed product. At the low end, someone ran down to Staples and picked up an inexpensive firewall that a home user might buy. At the other end, I'll see expensive Cisco units with high priced service contracts attached. I feel better about their security when I see the Cisco units, though I sometimes wince when I hear what they are paying for maintenance and support.
I sell Kerio Control firewall. I'm not a particularly aggressive sales type, so I might not even mention that fact unless something else triggers the subject, but lately I've been thinking that I really ought to be a bit more vocal and yes, a bit more "pushy".
It's not because I want to sell another firewall. Sure, I'm always happy to get an order for anything that I sell, but for me it's not about selling so much as it is about providing something that someone needs.
Yeah, I know: everybody says that. Most of them don't really mean it though. What they mean is that they need to hit this month's sales quota and they want you to contribute toward that goal. It's all about the money, honey, and the product itself is secondary. Oh, whatever they want to sell may be a great product, and they may really believe that they are helping you, but the really important thing is the sales quota.
Quota? What quota?
I don't have a sales quota with Kerio. Well, technically I do, but I pass my yearly quota sometime in February or March of each year, so I don't have them hovering over my shoulder demanding sales projections. I don't have a personal sales goal either - I make money and I spend money and it all works out. My attitude toward all of this is that if I do a good job, I'll make enough money. Therefore, my only plan is to do a good job for my customers. The rest works out.
So, with that in mind, let's chat about Kerio firewall. I like the product and I know that you will too, whether it's just you in your home office or you are building a mini empire and already have two branch offices running.
I could talk about technical features and I have at other articles you'll find here. Kerio also provides full tech specs for your perusal if you like that sort of thing.
Those really aren't that important to me.
Oh, they are important, of course. But what's really important to me is that Kerio Control helps me do a good job for my customer. Sure, the technical stuff is all part of that, but for me it's the end result that counts: my customers get protection and I can provide them with great support at a very reasonable price.
What you can expect from me
First, I want you to understand what you are buying. You can see the basic interface at demo.kerio.com. I want you to schedule a phone call with me so that I can walk you through the features and benefits shown there.
Depending upon your circumstances, I might also suggest that you download a 30 day demo. I'd want to help you select which version to download (it's available as a vertual machine, for example) and I will help you configure it appropriately for a test drive.
After that, if you decide to buy, I'll help you decide on how many licenses you will want and whether you'd prefer one of the software versions or the hardware box. I'll give you a competitive quote for the initial purchase and tell you what your expected yearly maintenance will be.
If you are buying one of the hardware boxes, I'm happy to have it shipped to my office where I will configure it so that it is ready to plug into your network when you receive it. I can do the same thing with software versions by emailing a configuration file.
When you are ready to go live, we'll schedule another telephone conference. By the way, there is no additional charge for any of this. It's to my advantage to be certain that everything is working as it should be; proper configuration can eliminate future un-scheduled support and that will make both you and me happier.
Going forward, you have my commitment to support you. All business apps are at least somewhat critical, of course, but firewall support is at or near the top of the list. Many businesses today utterly depend upon Internet access and a breach of firewall security could be extremely disruptive. Therefore, if you should ever call or email me with a problem, you aren't going to be waiting very long before you hear back from me: I take support very seriously and especially so when it involves your firewall. You won't be charged for my assistance; that's included in the price you paid.
You can even set your firewall to alert me of certain conditions if you prefer:
If you are going to do that, let me know so that I will know to watch for those specifically.
That's the whole of it. You'll be paying a reasonable price (usually far, far less than what you'd pay for Cisco support) and you aren't going to be waiting for someone to get back to you days later. You'll be dealing with me and I care about your needs. I appreciate that serious problems require rapid response - I also know that if I do my job correctly ahead of time, your chances of ever needing that response are greatly diminished.
All that tends to make both of us happy, doesn't it?

I firmly believe that quality flower products are grown in New Zealand and our roses are amongst some of the finest in the world. It is this conviction that compels me to serve of the New Zealand Flower Growers Association's executive. In this way I can contribute to preserving the flower industry in NZ and assist with resolving the issues that our industry currently faces.'

The History of Van Lier Nurseries
Van Lier Nurseries is a family owned business that has been producing and selling quality flowers and plants to the New Zealand and International wholesale markets for over forty years. While our range of cut flowers is extensive our trademark flower is the rose. We currently have 1.5 hectares of glasshouse planted with over 35 varieties of roses, ensuring a consistently large supply of an array of quality roses. We are proud to have it place us as the largest rose grower in the North Island of New Zealand and the second largest in the country.
Initially carnations were the first cut flower product grown. 1974 saw the introduction of roses which became the major focus of our business in the early 80's. Subsequently we have added Alstroemeria, Limonium, Solidago, Statice and Veronica to our range. A further diversification was made when Van Lier Nurseries expanded into propagation. We now produce a variety of plants and are the sole provider of carnation cuttings in New Zealand.
Van Lier Nurseries has two locations in Auckland. This enables us to achieve distribution of the freshest produce quickly and efficiently through a dedicated Flower Freight service, couriers and air transport. A second nursery located in Riverhead was built when the business was expanded in 2001. A Faber glasshouse of approximately 1 hectare with gas heating and a computer controlled environment is a representation of Van Lier Nurseries' commitment to the utilisation of modern technology to guarantee reliable production. Our New Zealand produced flowers and plants have not travelled thousands of kilometres and are grown with minimum pesticides.

Use of the Atkins Diet for Children With Sturge Weber Syndrome
If you agree to be in this study, we will ask you to do the following things:
Before the diet is started:
- We will ask you to keep track of your child's seizures daily for 2 weeks before
starting the Atkins diet and provide us with a 3-day food record as well.
- Baseline blood (about 2 teaspoons) and urine work will be obtained.
- We will give you a free copy of a carbohydrate-counting guide.
- You will be asked to fill out a 3-day food record.
On the diet:
- Give your child a daily calcium supplement and multivitamin.
- Keep a daily seizure log.
- Check urine for ketones (to make sure the diet is working) and specific gravity (to
make sure your child is well hydrated) twice a week and when you come to clinic.
- We will ask you to weigh your child at home every week, and we will weigh him or her
when you come into clinic too.
- Do not fluid restrict your child; please give plenty of carbohydrate-free fluids.
- You will give 20 grams per day of carbohydrates. We will give you instructions on how
to measure daily intake of carbohydrates.
- We will not change medications for the first three months. Do not change your child's
seizure medicines without checking with our doctors.
- For the first three months, we ask you to avoid store-bought low-carbohydrate products
(as they can have more carbohydrates than advertised).
After being on the diet for one month, Dr. Kossoff will contact you by telephone to discuss
how your child is doing. You can also speak with one of our dietitians. We will discuss
the 3-day food record with you
You will be asked to come to the clinic (outpatient center, 5th floor) for two follow-up
1. after being on the diet for 3 months and
2. after being on the diet for 6 months.
During these visits you will meet with one of our doctors and a dietitian. We will review
your child's seizure control and health. We may obtain blood (about 2 teaspoons). We will
check your child's urine for ketones and specific gravity.
If the diet is helping beyond 6 months, we will help your child continue on the diet with
clinic visits and labs as necessary, at a carbohydrate amount that is most helpful.
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Seizure frequency will be compared to baseline (pre-Diet).
