Marriages of medium, market and moment
Friends Reunited is the dotcom that investors were looking for when they opened their wallets in 1999 and 2000. Why it works and what it has in common with other successful web operations give some clues about the commercial future of the internet.
Featured sites
|Friends Reunited
|RS Components
|Habbo Hotel
This week a web site called Friends Reunited made it into the press. In the nature of these things, it was for a negative reason: the site is a "meeting place" for former pupils of UK schools, and teachers complained that they were being unfairly attacked in the chat areas. Huge issues of data protection and freedom of speech were raised, briefly, then forgotten as Friends Reunited said it would suspend its message board.
These are issues that will, I suspect, burst upon us mightily at some stage. Meanwhile, the Friends Reunited affair raises another intriguing issue. More than 2m people have used it, the message board has had 512,000 postings and its founder came in at number 10 in an FT listing of creative folk in the UK. Yet it is run from a house in north London, and has not spent a penny on marketing.
In other words, Friends Reunited is the dotcom that all those investors were looking for when they opened their wallets in 1999 and 2000. What makes it work? What does it have in common with other successful web operations? The answer may just give some clues about the real future of this strange medium.
As well as Friends Reunited, I've looked at two web-dependent businesses that are definitely working, and one that looks promising. They are the auction site ebay (and its various national variations), the components distributor RS Components and a teenage 'hang-out', Habbo Hotel.
What do they have in common, beyond their success (Habbo is the unproven one, but it does have 780,000 people signed up in less than a year)? First, they all play to the strengths of the web — including the low cost of data transfer, the ability to store huge amounts of data at very low cost, interactivity, and the fact that sites can be updated instantly. Put together, these strengths make the web a wonderful meeting and matching place. Second, they play to human nature. And third, they got their timing right.
Simple and compulsive
Friends Reunited is blindingly simple. Look up your old school. See if any of your former chums have registered; sign up for yourself, and post details and a photo if you like. Then, for a £5 annual fee, send them e-mails and join the message boards (when they are available). Every week or so, you are sent an e-mail telling you that people from your year have signed up. It is almost impossible not to click on the link to see who they are. The site uses the web's storage, interactivity and updatability in bucketloads; it also hits a psychological spot that is almost irresistible. Not surprise that it has become so popular without any active marketing. Every time in the past three months someone has said "Have you seen this site?" I knew they were going to tell me about Friends Reunited.
I suspect if I were a teenager, I would probably know about Habbo too. It plays on the same compulsion that drives the SMS messaging craze — to communicate and play, well away from the eyes (and probably comprehension) of parents. Habbo is a "virtual hotel" where teenagers can go to chat. They can set up their own "private rooms" (90,000 so far), which they can furnish as they will. A chair costs 10p; a bath with bubbles 90p. Some users have set up their rooms as Who wants to be a millionaire? sets, and have run competitions with furniture as prizes. Habbo plays to the web's strengths, and it taps teenage psychology.
Interactive and targeted
Where do eBay and RS Components fit in? For a start, they both use the web's storage, interactivity and updatability. They are also 'meeting places' — putting hundreds of thousands of products in touch with hundreds of thousands of people. The psychology is right too. Ebay is addictive — for many people it has become more of a need than a transactional device (though for others, it is also their livelihood). RS Components has been selling components by mail order for many years — but its targets have always been the technically-inclined, who took to computers early on.
Timing and profitability
So what's this about timing? Well, these companies have done well because they rode the wave. When I first started looking at the web, the big auction site was Onsale — but it was too early. Ebay came along at just the right moment. I could give any number of other good ideas that failed because they were ahead of their time. I'm quite sure that neither Friends Reunited nor Habbo would have succeeded even two years ago: there weren't enough people online.
Then there is the little matter of profit. Well, they all have clear revenue streams — in some cases, multiple revenue streams. Friends Reunited makes money from advertising and from those £5 fees, Habbo from selling virtual furniture, from sponsorship and from selling market research (You want to know what 16 year olds want? We can find out). Ebay and RS make revenue from more traditional cuts. But revenue generation is the effect, not the cause: the key lies in the more fundamental factors I have been talking about Which, oddly, was the thinking of many investors when they poured cash into dotcoms: if it's a good idea, it must make money. The truth was that if it was a good idea launched at the right time, it would make money. Still true, actually; but try telling that to investors.

Mohamed Aljabaly then gave Coldwater a 2-to-0 lead with 22 minutes left in the half on a penalty kick, which also saw Sturgis have to play the rest of the game a man down, after their player was ejected. Lightning caused the game to be delayed for almost an hour just before halftime. Sturgis got on the board midway through the second half, but Mohamed Aljabaly sealed the victory with just under 15 minutes left in the game with the final goal of the night, assisted by Zakria Haggagi. For Mohamed, it was his 24th goal of the season. For the night, Coldwater outshot Sturgis 16-to-8. Ian Wright made 2 saves in goal.

continued There was mention made that the community is invited to attend BOE monthly meeting and present the board with ideas for activities and courses that they would like to see offered at a school-centered community program. All in attendance agreed.
Community members at the meeting suggested that an open house tour of the school on a given date might be a way to kick-off the development of a more enriched community center program.
There were discussions about taking advantage of the Distance Learning Center for offering adult education courses after school hours, the use of areas of the school such as the library and the Science Lab for business and organization meetings.
The school board was extremely open to more community use of the facilities by community organizations and private party users as long as it did not increase the costs to the school and that rules surrounding the use of the school facilities were not infringed.
Discussions ensued about opportunities for use of shared resources of the town and the district being used to address needs such as the poor condition of the parking lot on the Crow Hill Road side of the school.
Councilman John Valentine also suggested that the town garage and schoolbus garage might want to join forces in pursuing a grant for a bio-fuel boiler that could heat both facilities as they stood side by side.
Valentine said that a wood chip boiler would have the added advantage of generating revenue that would help spark industry locally and keep the money in the community.
Both boards agreed to send representatives to a facility in Lake Placid to further investigate such technology and its viability for the two facilities.
Superintendent Brand closed the meeting by commenting, "If we are not successful in getting more money freed up from the state, we could be looking at a 7 percent tax levy increase. I will recommend to the board that we not cut any more services and resources from this district and its students. We will have to invest in our school and our kids. I suggest that we write Senator Farley, even Betty Little who has been such a great friend over the years. Even Assemblyman Butler. There is money out there that can be gotten for our district through our senators."

For the first time in a long time, I saw more than just my "mom body."
I felt different after having kids. Not just in that new mom who's so in love with her babies kind of way or terrified and clueless kind of way (though I was those too). I physically felt different. Things felt different.
For most of my life I've struggled with self-image insecurities. I can't even blame my kids for giving me baby weight since I was already overweight pre-babies. Still, two pregnancies and three plus years of breastfeeding have taken a toll on my body and my mojo.
There is no doubt in my mind that my husband loves me and desires me, but when you aren't feeling that way about yourself it's hard to switch off "mom mode" and turn on "sexy mode." When you get some coveted uninterrupted alone time with your partner, you want it to really count. At least that's how I feel in these early years of parenting.
After my daughter was born, I was apprehensive of resuming intimacy. It took months. I bounced back to my "normal" self much quicker after my second pregnancy; however, I didn't truly get my sexy back until recently.
It all started with a picture.
A few months ago, a Facebook friend shared a few boudoir photographs she had done. They were classy, beautiful and captured her confidence. It sounded like fun, but my insecurities held me back. Then a few weeks ago our photographer announced that she is now offering boudoir sessions. I contacted her for details and decided it was now or never. Just booking the appointment was a confidence booster! Since I was already familiar with her I knew I'd feel comfortable, not judged.
The whole experience has been incredible. It was the perfect excuse to pamper myself. I haven't bought lingerie since before having kids and I don't know about you, but I don't find my nursing bras the least bit sexy. I forgot how great shopping for flattering lingerie made me feel. Then the day of my photo session I went to the salon for a manicure and to get my hair and make-up done.
For the first time in a long time, I saw more than just my "mom body." I saw myself from a different perspective. Instead of focusing on my graying hair and stretchmarks, I saw a beautiful woman who was comfortable in her own skin. Also, there's nothing like having a sexy secret surprise for your spouse to re-ignite passion in your relationship.
When I'm feeling less than glamorous after a long day with the kids, I can look at my boudoir pictures and remind myself that I still got it. I can be sexy—mom body and all.

Black colour, for sale in store only, display unit, made in Austria, includes both cables and no box.
From Headphone Bar: The Quincy Jones Signature Line Q701. These retain the now classic beautiful design and a fantastic, detailed & spacious sound.
Very comfortable velour earpads and a real leather headband that is a bit softer than the k701 headband. They like power and provide a spacious, detailed and natural sound, with an emphasis on clarity and definition (these have a very tight bass, as opposed to a boomy sound). Includes both a 10 ft and 20ft removable cable and 1/8" mini adaptor.
These AKG's are just an excellent value for a hand-made, world class headphone. In the review they are only 1/2 the price of the 1st place HD800's (UK currency & prices), but at Headphone Bar these Q701's are 1/4 of the Sennheiser's price! The magazine is in the store to review.
Posted by Izaak on 5th Jun 2013
The first thing you should know is that these are fantastic headphones for the price and can be easily driven straight out of a laptop or your portable audio player of choice. I have exactly zero issues with the sound though the bass may be a little light for some and the mids a little cold. My sole complaint lies with the comfort of the headphone. The bumps on the headband are quite hard and despite its light weight, this headphone initially caused me some discomfort. Though I have now adapted to the headband, I still find the foam in the ear pads to be altogether too firm for the clamping force of these headphones. That said, the AKG Q701 is a terrific headphone and the Headphone Bar is an amazing store. Thanks for letting me sit in your store for over an hour listening to these things.
Posted by Paul on 19th May 2013
These are the best headphones I have ever heard! They are incredibly accurate, and require no EQ to sound great. They are also very comfortable, with an automatically adjusting headband. The quality is top-notch, and it's nice that they are made in Austria :-)
The only headphones I found that compare with the Q701s are the Sennheiser HD800s, which are more than 5x as expensive. Clearly, the Q701s are the best value in the store.
They sound great when plugged directly into my Macbook Air's headphone-out port, but I will definitely buy an amplifier for it later, because then it's even better!
This store is the only place where you can even dream of listening to such high-end headphones, and it's not even more expensive than buying online, where you cannot listen to anything. It's ridiculous that on Amazon.ca, these headphones cost $355! If you go in person, you can listen to ANYTHING in the store, and try out different combinations of headphones and amplifiers. I'm so glad I discovered this little store!
Posted by Jeremy on 3rd Mar 2012
I am incredibly happy with the Q701. They are, by far, the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. The sound and build quality are absolutely superb. The warmth and clarity they give all my music is brilliant and the pairing with my HA540 is perfect. I cannot say enough about how great the inherent value in this set of cans is. Under $400 for these is unbelievable. Try them out, you will not be disappointed.

St. Petersburg, Fla. • Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ has been released from a Florida hospital, a day after he was hit on the head by a line drive.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Bayfront Medical Center said in a statement that Happ was discharged after being upgraded from fair to good condition Wednesday. Happ was taken there after being struck on the left side of the head during Tuesday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Blue Jays said Happ was responsive and feeling better after sustaining a head bruise and cut to his the left ear.
The hospital released a statement from the pitcher, who said he was in good spirits and appreciated the support he had received from "the baseball community."
Happ's frightening injury Tuesday night at Tropicana Field left players on both teams shaken and revived questions about whether Major League Baseball is doing enough to protect pitchers who often find themselves in harm's way on the mound.
The pitcher raised his glove in front of his face as quickly as he could, a futile attempt to shield himself from the batted ball headed straight for his temple.
It was too late. Thwack!
The sickening sound of a sharply hit baseball striking the Toronto pitcher's skull could be heard all the way up in the press box.
And then, sheer silence.
Happ was hit squarely on the left side of his head by Desmond Jennings' second-inning liner during Toronto's 6-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The left-hander was immobilized on a backboard, lifted onto a stretcher and wheeled off the field.
It was the latest injury to a pitcher struck by a batted ball in the last few years, and baseball has discussed ways to protect hurlers who ply their craft against the world's strongest hitters — only 60 feet, 6 inches from home plate.Next Page >

Western civilization lied and people died.
It lied, that is, to itself.
I am referring to Iraq, but not to the hapless George W. Bush and the claim of WMDs' existence, which wasn't a lie at all. What is at issue here is more fundamental. It's a lie that imbues Bushes, Clintons and Obamas, both the left and the right and most everyone in-between. It is the enlightened position of the modern man, a tenet of our times.
It's the idea that all peoples are basically the same.

Today is day 2 of my renewal to weight loss. It's been such a hard journey the past three years. I am dealing with much daily pain. Exercise is part of my weekly routine, but it often comes at a price in the pain department. No exercise creates its own pain. Please don't get me wrong. I have accepted my condition and I'm not complaining.
I am thankful that I have a chiropractor that has helped me immensely. He has told me several times that I will feel better when I lose the weight. Yesterday something clicked. He told me what my eating plan should be and I went home and followed through.
At age 57 I have lots of hope for success and I have a plan that is doable. I have loved the tools on Spark People and especially the people who are going through this difficult journey with me! Hats off to all Sparkies! It's a good day! Make it so with good choices for exercise and eating!!
My mood is surprisingly considering my weight gain! I have been working the spark for several months in the area of fitness, but the food area has been sketchy at best. It's not that I am not trying, because I am trying very hard!
I went to a chiropractor 6 weeks ago to use his biomat for pain management. He forgot to have it there so he talked to me about my health. I told him that my doctor could not help me with the pain stemming from arthritis except to prescribe Celebrex. He told me that HE could help me and I've been going to him ever since. He has indeed helped me so very much! He told me to go grain free. It's been hard, but I've made great progress except for my weekly popcorn. It has helped so much!! Plus I'm not eating those calories! All that grain causes inflammation in my body which causes pain. I am hopeful that I will continue to improve! That is amazing to me at age 57 to have so much hope when the pain has been such a big issue for me in the last 5 years! With God's help, all is possible! Have a great day everyone!
Time to get some things written down. I have struggled, struggled to get the weight off that I put back on. My exercise is excellent, but still the weight has hung on. The joy of getting older!!
I have realized that my food must be in order too in order to lose so finally I am back on tracking my food which does help tremendously. There's nothing like the second thought before eating something about how it will look and add up on my food diary!! Good accountability!!
I am praying that the small weight loss I've had will continue as I eat wisely. It's almost time for me to bike ride again after the ice melt and I know it will be harder with the extra poundage I have so I best get serious about losing!!
Have a great day spark friends!!
I haven't blogged since January! I have been busy at home since then. My dear, dear client died in January and I have needed to take time off from elder care to grieve her loss. In the mean time, my middle son's family moved from Seattle to Montana where he is able to work remotely. They lived with us for 3 months while they sold their house and bought one a mile from us. It was a good time, but a very difficult time too. Now that it is over as of last Friday, I can breathe and get my house back to where I want it. My next phase is to get ready for our youngest daughter who is driving her two tots from VA to MT in October for two months while her husband is away on work. She's pregnant with their third child. I am praying that it will be a safe and uneventful trip! Did I mention that she's bringing her golden retriever too? (I ADORE that dog!)
I still don't know if I will return to work. We now have two sons with their 2 kids each living in the same city with us. What a joy that is!
This blog is too long already, I will have to save the story of my weight loss journey for another time. So thankful to be active on spark people, not just going thru the motions!
Ready for day two of working my food plan! Have a wonderful day!
For the past 24 hours I've been dealing with grief from losing the 90 year old client I cared for and loved for the past 2 years. Yes, we knew she was dying, yes, it wasn't a surprise, but it still hurts. She was the kindest person I ever knew. Her two kids (66, 62) and their families took me in as one of the family. The past two weeks they've included me in the bedside vigil at the hospital and told me how much she loved me.
Less than a week ago when I went to her hospital room she greeted me as she often did, "Am I ever glad to see you!" She was interested in my life, my family, what I was doing and appreciated every little thing I did for her. The other day there was talk of her moving to a transitional care facility and she asked if I would cook for her as she hated the food they were giving her.
I am thanking God for the friend of the person I used to work for part time telling the friend of my client, Pat about me. She and her daughter called me and asked if I had any time where I could come and interview for a full time position with Pat. We had a wonderful visit and I remember walking down the hall thinking, "surely they can't be that wonderful!" But, they were and even more! My life was so enriched and I think I may be a more understanding person because I've known and loved Pat. I am so very thankful for the past few weeks in which I told her how much I loved her and was thankful for her daily lessons in life.
I also am facing unemployment for the first time. I've only been active in the workforce for the past 7 or 8 years as I was at home with my 5 kids before that. Taking care of the elderly has been a particular joy. I have worked for some cruel people, but had a few that changed my life forever--Gene and Pat specifically. I plan to take some time off and recover and recharge before I look for a position again.

Johnny Cash Is Coming to Town/Boom Chicka Boom
Johnny Cash
This CD two-fer features two of Johnny Cash's best recordings from his Mercury period. Given the quality of both albums, Cash's tenure with the label, generally dismissed by critics, deserves to be reexamined (to put it mildly). Johnny Cash Is Coming to Town is a unique album in that it was his debut for the label in 1986 and featured his road band and his wife, June, her sisters Helen and Anita, and her daughter Carlene on backing vocals along with Waylon Jennings and Cash's daughter, Cindy Cash-Stuart (as well as her husband Marty). Produced by Cowboy Jack Clement, who had worked with Cash on tunes as great as "Ballad of a Teenage Queen" and "Ring of Fire," the feel was live, reckless, and full of life. Elvis Costello contributed a track and Guy Clark two, while Cash covered — nearly definitively — Merle Travis' classic "Sixteen Tons" and contributed two solid songs of his own. Boom Chicka Boom, from 1989, is a lighter but no less satisfying affair produced by Bob Moore with a band of studio greats, including Reggie Young, Hargus Robins, and Roy Huskey, Jr. There are three Cash originals here, along with Elvis Costello's "Hidden Shame" (written especially for Cash), a cover — and a damn fine one — of Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle," and the old gospel nugget "Family Bible" that is stirring because Cash's mom appears in duet with him. The remastering job is superb and the package has full session information and liners by Cash and John Lomax III.

Good Idea: Ladder Becomes Wardrobe for Baby
Rock That Horse
We like the idea of using a simple ladder to hang up baby clothes. Just think of all that ever-valuable closet space you could free up. Take out every other rung. Add a coat of paint. Figure out a clever way to secure it to the wall. And you're set. Almost.
We also think that adding a charming collection of hangers does wonders to the overall effect. Visit Rock That Horse to see more photos.

i love this idea!
I almost had my hands on a 12' old wood ladder on Craigslist but someone beat me to it. I had plans to hang fabric between every other rung for toys and books, then lean it against the wall.
don't get me wrong, I think this is adorable but when I see these I immediately think of the climbing hazard it is. And my babies/toddlers would also grab all the clothes off and throw around.
what a great idea! I think we can do this in a closet with a step ladder even (smaller, so less of a climb hazard?)
Love it! This is going into my mental nursery file.

It's over, but it isn't really over.
This is AJ here.
You have all most likely heard about the MCR break up.
If you haven't, and you've just woken up to all of the news on Facebook and FicWad, like I did(I woke up to it and checked FicWad to see if it was legit), then I'm so sorry.
The breakup is horrible. I'm sure we're all upset, especially since we met through MCR. They were our heroes, our friends, our muses. Then, we wake up one morning, and it's gone.
So, what does this mean for the fandom?
Sure, we'll cry over it together. We'll blast MCR through the streets and we'll all reflect on our lives with MCR, but we will carry on. No matter what, to the end. We created bonds so strong that even the band that we met through breaking up won't push us down. We're more than just a fandom.
We're Killjoys.
We're in The Black Parade.
We're Vampires.
We're in love with revenge.
And you know what?
Killjoys never die.
The Black Parade never dies.
Vampires never die.
Revenge won't die.
Bands will come and go. We can't expect them to stay together forever.
And although bands may go, it's us, the true believers, the never-giver-uppers, who truly keep the band alive.
MCR will live on. And, one day, when all of the bands that we've grown to love go their separate ways, it's us, the ones who truly believe, that will keep the band living on.
We may be saying goodbye to a beloved band, but we are NOT saying goodbye. We will stay together, stay strong, and never give up.
MCR has saved us. Let's not make it in vain.
There will be new bands. There will be new heroes. MCR leaving is just paving the way for a new band, a new life-saver, to impact our lives, and the kids who never made it's lives. They need a hero, too. There will be new kids who need heroes. One day, they'll discover band that will save their lives, just like us, and they will be brought together by it, just like us. As they might leave one day, their music will live on in our ipods, our phones, everywhere.
MCR will carry on. So will we.
They aren't over for us.
They are just forever alive.
If you are thinking about harming yourself over this, please don't. My Chemical Romance wouldn't like it. If they saved you, let that live on. Let MCR's legacy live on.
E-mail me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
This is not good-bye.
This is not over.
There is no "The End".
Just "To be continued..."

The Reality Room How to Debunk Illusions (from shadows)
Illusions or 'mysterious appearances' continue to go viral on the Internet and I can imagine how many will be duped into believing these 'miracles'. Here is one way to disprove those. I have not done this experiment yet I'm definitely sure it will work. If you are a scientific researcher or hobbyist, do this:
Create a room with one color and even walls. It doesn't have to be a real room. A big 7x7 feet box will do. Don't put anything in it except a single source of light -- a simple lamp will do. Then dare a scientific investigator to search for any 'mysterious appearance' for as long as he wants to. Make a bet he wouldn't find any (just joking).
Why am I so sure about this? Because most illusions come from shadows (some from simple stains). Plato's Cave which is the best illustration of perception and illusion was made possible because light and shadows were involved. But Plato's Cave is about perception and I am not disproving it with this article.
Closing Statement from Poch Peralta
This is not about how my idea has evolved or been shaped but since the Idea is almost similar to mine, I cite it:

There are many strong illustrations proving that. But Hitler gambled Germany

probably nearly won too. He sacrificed and massacred millions of people
trying to prove his concept right.

She'll star opposite Channing Tatum and Jude Law.
He and Warner Bros. couldn't agree on casting or a budget.
Tatum's name thrown in ring for much-rumored role.
He'd take on the role George Clooney was going to play.
"Something is wrong with my thong, you guys."

Eastwood Christian Academy is amazing. The Christian values and being able to pray at school are a huge advantage in comparison to public schools. The classes sizes are the perfect size so that all students get individualized attention. My son has learned so much the past 2 years and we are excited for the 3rd year. Getting out early on Wednesday nights makes it easy to get ready for church. I could continue on forever about the many advantages of Eastwood.
My daughter has attended Eastwood Christian Academy since Kindergarten. I have been very pleased with the academic education she receives. Eastwood gives a national achievement test every year. Parents receive a report showing exactly where their child places against other children nationally. The results prove how good the academic education is at Eastwood. However, what is just as important is the fact that she has developed friendships with other Christian children.The peer pressure at Eastwood is for the kids to act in a Christian way. As a parent, I realize that I only have so much influence over my child. It is so comforting to know that the kids in school that my daughter looks up to are good role models.
I attended Eastwood Christian Academy my senior year after attending public schools my entire life. I am so sorry that I did not start going to Eastwood prior to my senior year. I have a daughter now and she will attend Eastwood when she is old enough for school. Eastwood was more 1 on 1 and allowed my mind to grow more than it had in several years combined at public school. I was very pleased with the caring staff, the wonderful atmosphere and the highly trained teachers.
Eastwood is a great school. Although we do not attend church there and are not Baptist, we feel that the spritual and academic knowledge our daughter has obtained is excellent and is in keeping with our beliefs. Courses are very good
My children are presently attending a public school after previously attending Eastwood for four years and I can tell you there is no comparison in the quality of academics. But, more importantly the love and tenderness that was displayed from the teachers to the children was and is unmatched. I could go on for pages on how wonderful a school this has been. I only wish my children were still there to recieve the many blessings that Eastwood offered. God bless you Eastwood Christian Academy.
Eastwood Christian Academy is the place to send your child if you live in the western Kentucky area and you want your child to be at a place where they will receive both practical academic training and a godly influence on their lives. The faculty at Eastwood truly care about their students. They not only wish them to excel academically but to succeed in life. It is their goal to ensure that each of the students in their class knows the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. I have three of my own children in Eastwood and I assure you there is no other school in which I would rather have them enrolled.

There was a weird quasi-mob there that we could use to enter combat to use disengage, but the mob goes away and hides when you look at him, so you don't have to fight him. So we were in combat to disengage.
Yes, I did break my gun twice in the course of testing. I did 2 tests of 2,000 shots fire for each level of crit rating that I tested. So it was a LOT of shots fire, enough to break my gun twice : )
Currently in beta the new cap for respeccing is 66 gold. Honestly, the cap was 50 gold back in vanilla, and that was *expensive* back then. I wouldn't be surprised to see the respec cap go way up to 100 or 500. Still be cheaper, relatively, than it was back then.

By default, OneDrive for Business syncs SharePoint libraries in folders under your Windows "User" folder, for example:
When you sync your OneDrive for Business library, your files are placed in a folder named "OneDrive for Business @CompanyName" if the library is hosted on SharePoint Online, and "OneDrive for Business" if the library is hosted on a corporate SharePoint server. If you sync libraries on other sites, OneDrive for Business creates folders for them using their library names, and places these folders in a folder name "SharePoint."
You can change the root path for libraries you sync to your computer, though you can do this only if you're not currently syncing any libraries. If you're already syncing at least one library and you want to change the path, you must first stop syncing all libraries. Then, the first time you run the OneDrive for Business wizard to sync a library to your computer, you'll see an option to change the location.
Warning If you're already syncing files to your computer using OneDrive for Windows, you should not use the same location that you use with OneDrive for Windows to sync files with OneDrive for Business.

Orem downed Box Elder in the day's second game. It was a bit of redemption for the Tigers, who fell to Logan in the first round last year.
Roy rallied from eight points down in the last five minutes to beat Skyline. The victory was even more impressive for the Royals considering they didn't have star Brekkott Chapman, who was suspended for the game.
Springville survived a late scare to get past Judge Memorial. The Bulldogs had the ball with 22 seconds left anda cahcne to tie or force overtime, but the Red Devils' defense snuffed out the possession.
Olympus pulled away in the second half to oust defending state champion Sky View. And the Titans did it without standout Jake Lindsey, who broke his hand in practice and is out for the rest of the season.
Highland knocked off the No. 1 seed out of Region 8, Timpview. The Rams, despite a poor warmup, shot better than 57 percent from the floor in the first half.
Bountiful had little trouble getting past Provo. Jeff Pollard finished with a double-double, recording 14 points and 14 rebounds.
And Mountain View got a 3-pointer at the buzzer to down Logan to end Day 1 of the tournament.

amg review
Curumin is the stage name of Brazilian musician Luciano Nakata Albuquerque, who began his musical journey very early in life and had absorbed a wide variety of influences by the time he was a teenager, at which point he formed and played in a series of funk bands while learning about popular Brazilian music in school. His years of listening and gigging finally resulted in this very impressive album, which brings together elements of samba, funk, hip-hop, reggae, and 1970s synthesizer kitsch to often brilliant effect. That's "often," not "always," and there are one or two moments here (such as a pedestrian version of the Stevie Wonder protest song "You Haven't Done Nothing") that fall flat. But those are greatly outnumbered by such transcendent achievements as the gutbucket Latin funk and frantic turntablism of "Cade o Mocoto? (Essa Coisa)" and the faintly glitchy and reggae-tinged "Vem Menina," which features spectacular Portuguese rapping by Lino Crizz. Also worth noting are the dubwise trip-hop of "Acorda, Simpatico" and a strange but cool funk workout titled "Tudo Bem Malandro." Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi

Vithoulkas to succeed Hazelett as county manager
Deputy Henrico County Manager for Administration John Vithoulkas will succeed Virgil Hazelett as county manager when Hazelett retires in January, following a unanimous vote by the county's Board of Supervisors at its meeting tonight. Vithoulkas, 44, will begin his new position Jan. 17.
Vithoulkas will become the eighth county manager since Henrico adopted the form of government in 1934.
The county manager serves as Henrico's chief administrative officer, responsible for implementing policies established by the Board of Supervisors and for overseeing the daily operations of the county and more than 35 agencies with approximately 4,000 general government employees (the county's total workforce, general government and Henrico County Public Schools, is more than 10,400). Duties include preparation and oversight of the county's annual budget, which tops $1 billion in operating and capital expenditures for the 2012-13 fiscal year, and preparation of the county's annual legislative program before the Virginia General Assembly.
Vithoulkas, a Henrico employee since 1997, rose through the ranks of the Department of Finance, joining the agency as a budget analyst and also working as budget director. He became acting director of Finance in September 2007 before taking over as director in January 2008.
In September 2009, Hazelett named him to the additional position of special economic advisor as Henrico confronted revenue declines and other challenges stemming from the national recession. In December, he was named a deputy county manager.
Vithoulkas has been key in helping to establish Henrico's to fiscal policies that have enabled the county to balance its budget throughout the recession and the lingering problematic economy. The county has absorbed revenue declines of more than $92 million the last two years without laying off employees, cutting services or raising taxes. He was the architect of a series of bond sales during the recession that yielded $17.7 million in debt-service savings for the county.
In August 2011, Henrico was the first locality nationwide to have its debt reaffirmed as triple-AAA — the highest available for a governmental entity — by the three international credit-rating agencies following the downgrade of U.S. government debt by Standard and Poor's.
Vithoulkas played a leading role in the effort that established Henrico, Va. as an official mailing address with the U.S. Postal Service in October 2008. The address-change initiative is saving the county more than $5 million annually in tax revenues that previously had been misdirected to other localities.
Vithoulkas, a naturalized citizen, is a native of Greece and immigrated to Virginia as an infant with his parents. A product of Henrico County Public Schools, he is a graduate of J.R. Tucker High School. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1989 and received a master's degree in public administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1992. Before joining the Henrico County staff he worked as a police planner and assistant budget director for Gaston County, N.C. and as a budget analyst for Chesterfield County.
Vithoulkas lives in Glen Allen with his wife, Jenny, and their three children.
He has keyed the ongoing "Changing the Way Henrico Does Business" initiative, an internal project launched in response to the recession. It has led to streamlined, more-efficient operations in departments countywide, producing permanent savings of more than $50 million. He also has spearheaded efforts such as the Henrico Advantage Card, working with the local business community to boost sales for Henrico retailers.

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

When the cliche stands tall
Inspirational football movie tries too hard for its own good
When the Game Stands Tall is based on a true story – an unbelievable true story that takes the word "inspiring" about as far as it can go.
It's a film about Bob Ladouceur, coach of the De La Salle High Spartans, a California high school football team with 12 consecutive undefeated seasons (a staggering 151 games won in a row).
Along the way, Ladouceur (played by Jim Caviezel) faced the kind of hardship most football coaches (thankfully) can only imagine – suffering a near-fatal heart attack, the death of a star player, and rebuilding the team after that 151-game streak came to a humiliating end. > Read more.

Integrated Humanities is studied in Years 7 and 9. In year 7 pupils investigate their own 'personal history and geography' in the module 'I am unique' and explore the idea that they are connected with people around the world by trade, exploitation, and as stewards of their planet.
In Year 9 pupils study a number of contemporary issues such as 'Pirates' and 'What connects us to Africa'. For instance, the links with Ethiopia through the 'Dreams and Teams work and the link with the Democratic Republic of Congo and our use of mobile phones.
Pupils will be using both their historical and geographical skills as they follow these courses. Pupils will undertake their studies through a variety of teaching and learning styles including: Pirate parties and experiencing life under dictatorship, oligarchy and democracy.
(Key Stage 3)

"History is made up of people. When you understand people, you can live a full life."
Charles Miller Smith, Chair of ICI
History brings fun, mystery and challenge into the classroom. You will learn many marvellous tales of colourful, curious and fascinating people from past societies ranging from the Ancient Romans to the Black Peoples of America.
We aim to surprise you in History and we always strive to deliver active and interesting lessons that fire your curiosity and develop your thinking and communication skills. History will help you to reflect on the experiences and achievements of other people in order to realise your own potential to lead a creative and inspirational life.
Key Stage 3
Year 7 begins with a depth study of life in Ancient Rome. You will learn fascinating stories about significant historical figures such as Hannibal and Julius Caesar. We will also challenge you to produce your very own Roman Games to entertain the citizens of Rome. In the Spring Term we will re-enact the famous Battle of Hastings and investigate how the Normans took control of England. To complete the year we will found out if you could have survived in the Middle Ages, but you will need to watch out for outlaws such as Robin Hood, the Peasant's Revolt and the deadly Black Death.
Year 8 focuses on the lives and times of the Tudor family. We will investigate Henry VIII's break away from the Catholic Church and find out how each of his children ruled England. We will challenge you to survive the problems faced by Elizabeth I, unravel the Gunpowder Plot and investigate the Essex witchcraft trials. We will also find out how Britain gained an Empire and help you to understand the development of the African Slave Trade.
Year 9 helps you to prepare for your GCSE studies by focusing on the development of policing through time. We investigate how the police have handled various crimes through the centuries including the infamous case of Jack the Ripper. In the Spring Term we will complete a depth study of the early twentieth-century world, incorporating the sinking of Titanic, the Suffragette Campaign and the outbreak of World War One. The year ends with a study of the ride of Hitler and the Nazi Party and an evaluation of the major turning points of the Second World War.
Key Stage 4 (GCSE)
What will you study?
- The American West: 1840 – 1890
- Crime and Punishment Through Time
- Civil Rights in the USA
How will I be assessed?
- Controlled assessment – 25%
- Examinations – 75%
The new GCSE History course builds on your knowledge from Key Stage 3 and enables you to develop valuable skills for further study and employment. In Year 10 you will gain a detailed insight into the development of the American West and you will learn marvellous tales of the Plains Indians, gold miners, cowboys and early pioneers. At the end of the year you will be able to take the first modular examination which is worth 25% of your final grade.
In Year 11 you will focus on developing your research skills by completing a Controlled Assessment about the struggle for Black Civil Rights in the USA. You will then complete the course by studying change and continuity in crime, punishment and policing from Ancient Rome to the modern day. These topics are assessed in two final examinations.
A Level History
Our brand new A Level course is proving very popular with students. At A/S Level students are invited to examine the Changing Position of Women in Britain from 1860 – 1930. This incorporates the lesser-known work of pioneering women such as Caroline Norton and Josephine Butler, as well as the more high profile Suffragette Campaign. This topic is assessed in a source paper in January. The A/S course is completed with a breadth study of American history ranging from the Civil Rights campaign to the wars in Korea and Vietnam.
Year 13 students undertake original and exciting research into the development of the British Slave Trade and present their findings in a university-style essay. Our work in this area has recently been commended by the exam board. Students then complete their course by investigating developments in German political history in a course entitled From Kaiser to Fuhrer, Germany 1900 -1945. This is assessed in an examination in June.
We are very proud of the fact that several of our former students are now studying History at universities across the country.
Religious Studies
The aim of the Religious Studies Department is to enable students to gain an insight into different beliefs practices and cultures from within the UK and around the world. In addition we aim to give learners the opportunity to develop their own opinions and explore issues in the world.
Religious Studies is part of the Fabulous Fridays' program in Year 7 and is accessed through integrated lessons and a variety of standalone days, which examine festivals and aspects of different cultures.
In Years 8 and 9 students attend regular weekly Religious Studies lessons. In Year 8 lessons investigate religions such as Sikhism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. In Year 9 the focus is on starting GCSE study in Ethics. Students will complete three GCSE modules and in addition undertake some PSHE. The modules in Year 9 are:
- Peace and Conflict
- Crime and Punishment
- Community Cohesion
At KS4 students in Year 10 are beginning a one year intense course in Ethics (Religious Studies), with the aim of sitting a full GCSE in the subject at the end of Year ten. This includes regular assessment and the studying of eight modules. The modules examined are:
- Peace and Conflict
- Environment
- Life and Death
- Crime and Punishment
- Community Cohesion
- Marriage and Family
- Believing In God
Year 11 students this year are completing a series of PSHE and careers modules with elements of General studies. Most students will be given the opportunity to sit a General Studies exam at the end of year 11.
The exam is random each year and focusses on students Maths, English and reasoning skills. 80% of the mark comes from this terminal paper and 20% comes from an exam based upon pre-release material, which students will study before the exam.
At KS5 Students study OCR syllabus in Philosophy and Ethics. This in A level course, which is assessed by two terminal exams each year. The course challenges students to gain critical thinking skills and to learn and apply a wide variety of theories. The content includes:
- Utilitarianism
- Kant and Moral Law
- Ontological Arguments
- Cosmological Arguments
- Natural Law
- Applied Ethics
- Determinism
- Plato's Cave
- Aristotle's Meta-physics
General Studies
At Key Stage 4 most students begin a two year full GCSE in General Studies. The course is skills based and helps develop students' comprehension, analysis, extended writing and empathy skills. The course culminates in three exams, which are taken over two exam dates. These exams are a combination of multiple choice, comprehension and creating an argument to support a point of view.
Over the two years the course aims to give students the opportunity to investigate moral and ethical issues from around the world. This includes looking at Blood Diamonds, Medical Ethics, The Environment and Crime and Punishment. Each module has an assessment, which mirrors the final exam to ensure all students are well prepared.
General Studies is widely accepted as a good qualification enhancing all courses of study. In many areas of work, employers look for applicants with a curious mind, understanding and appreciation of other people's view points and the ability to make clear, informed decisions. All of these skills are developed in General Studies. Any careers dealing with people or the environment regard it in a favourable light. For example, social services, schools, hospitals, prisons, research, personnel, the police, management, journalism, the travel industry and advertising are just a small sample of careers which fully appreciate the value of a General Studies GCSE.

text: There are a million different styles of iPhone 5 cases out there, but this Lighting Case is actually pretty cool and unique. Not only does it protect your phone from drops, accidents and more (a moderate protection that is), it also lights up whenever you get a call or a text message. The case's LED flashes as long as the LCD screen is in the OFF state, alerting you of the call or new message. Users can easily use apps like "Flash Lighting Four" or "Robo Strobe" to create a unique light show with the case's LED light flashing to the beat of your phone's ringtone. But if you're not digging the bright LED light and think the flash is a little too bright, you can use the included sticker cover to easily cover the LED and dim the light so it's not as bright. You can also choose from an assortment of different LED flashing light colors, including green, orange, pink or white. Each case takes two weeks for delivery and costs $$25.

Skinny Dipping At George Clooney's!
Saturday, October 8th, 2011
Apparently skinny dipping is a normal thing at George Clooney's crib. With his new film The Ides Of March just releasing George decided to throw a bash at his lake house.
Co stars Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood bared it all together and made a splash. Rachel told Conan O'brien that,
"George kind of … I don't know if he set us up but he certainly set us up really well if that's what he was doing. We wound up all skinny dipping. Let's cut to the chase,"
Apparently George used the two hot babes to get friend Charlie Rose to hop in. Meanwhile Clooney claims he wears a suit. WHAT? I suppose it's house rules.

I just don't understand why guys like Bruiser want to 'protect their image' by not selling, yet they get so much flack for not selling anyway. Feels kinds reverse psychological.
I do believe Terry is the Greatest of all time. Guys like Misawa or Flair may have a better catalog of matches but in terms of the little things that make a match give you genuine emotions, no one matches Terry Funk.
I kinda get where Bruiser was going with the whole sandbvagging people issue. The man understood part of his image was being larger than life and seemingly unstoppable. He short changed a lot of people in the ring (but knew well enough to make top guys he respected like Baba look great) but you can't argue the fact that much like Hogan he will have a lasting influence in the sport.
Sorry I haven't been around much but i've been in a bit of a funk (no pun intended given my first issue of the post) with Wrasslin and been boning up on MMA instead but i've been feeling to call to get back to my Puro roots.
Sephy you want to talk about a underpraised Great Gaijin. Dan MOTHERFUCKIN' Kroffat. Sure the excellent Can-Ams vs Kobashi/Kikuchi match gets a load of praise (as it should) but i've yet to see a bad outing by Kroffat/LaFon be it in Japan or his shorrt WWF run. Was the guy a main eventer? No, but he was a damn fine hand.

Curiosity factor: First English-speaking Nikon D800E review
The Nikon D800 and D800E were announced as fraternal twin full framers. The Nikon D800e does not have the anti-aliasing gene ;-) As you can see from the reviews (D800, D800e), the D800 has been getting most of the attention.
But today the Nikon D800e gets the spotlight, as we have the first in-English completed review of the camera at Photography Blog! If you are in a hurry, or running out of battery, you can jump to the conclusions before jumping to conclusions.
Availability wise, both the D800 and D800e are in pre-order status as you can see at their Stock Status page. One of our readers there noted that their mid-March D800e pre-order at Amazon has now received a floating early July 2012 shipping estimate.
