I can't believe this case even made the ERA…but there you go, people are stupid:
A man who drank three bottles of wine before a meeting to discuss his employment future has lost a bid to win his job back.
Thomas Jude Waigth Chamberlain is still pursuing his unfair dismissal case after he was sacked by IT company Neocom but his attempt for interim reinstatement has been rejected by the Employment Relations Authority (ERA).
Mr Chamberlain was "angry and confrontational" during the meeting about his job future and he "used offensive language and threatened to harm Neocom" and the director Paul Hughes.
The ERA heard Mr Chamberlain had become anxious about whether he had a future with Neocom when it started negotiations with a prospective buyer in September.
His stress led to him taking a day off on October 9 and he called the meeting with Mr Hughes that day.
Mr Chamberlain said he drank "at least" three bottles of wine before the meeting, during which he made derogatory statements about Mr Hughes and the wife of a prospective purchaser who was also present.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Athens Mayor Dan Williams said he met with North Alabama Transportation Foundation Director Kurt Furst, Madison City Councilman Jerry Jennings and Courtland Mayor Ted Letson over the weekend to formulate plans for a coalition of some 80 North Alabama mayors to present infrastructure needs to the new administration in Washington. The North Alabama cities join a list of some 427 cities nationwide vying for their share of as much as $700 billion in federal dollars. The money is expected to be offered as part of Presidentelect Barack Obama's plan to jump-start the economy. • If Congress approves the Obama administration's plan, it would be the largest domestic infrastructure initiative since Franklin Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. Williams said he brought two projects to the meeting—U.S. 72 railroad underpass and Nuclear Plant Road. "There is a real problem along Highway 72," said Williams. "We need more lanes going under the railroad.

When Quality Culvert opened in 2006 on Elm Street in the old Martin Industries building and applied for a state grant for a rail spur and plant improvements, company officials predicted they would employ 125 workers. Employment has never reached more than 42. Monday, city grant coordinator Kathy McHugh told the Athens City Council they could either "sit out the grant or pay back the $100,000" so that the city could be free to be considered for further grants from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. McHugh said Quality Culvert had asked for $600,000 in its grant application, but ADECA was not satisfied when the jobs created were less than half of the predicted numbers. The industry received $299,629. The Council voted unanimously to pay back $100,000 of that to ADECA and company officials have said they w ill pay the city back the money.

Their discussion was ongoing at presstime Monday during the monthly board meeting. Proration forces board to consider closing 50-year-old county school By Jean Cole jean kaathensnews-courier. com Limestone County school board members had the first of a series of discussions Monday on whether to keep or close Reid Elementary School. If it closed, the school's 166 students would be transferred either to Tanner High School or to the new Clements elementary school, which is expected to open in 2010. Reid, located off Browns Ferry Road, is the oldest of the system's five elementary schools. Board member John Wayne King stressed that no decision has been made regarding the future of Reid and that the board is only studying the matter. The issue at Reid is whether to maintain the school - which needs $1.9 million in repairs, costs $400,000 to $450,000 in salaries and $55,000 to $60,000 to maintain - or See Reid, page 3A Readying for inauguration ;

Third photo, step 4. Cover seeds with Miracle Gro Potting Mix and soak
thoroughly. Keep moist until seeds sprout, then don't re-water until
starting to dry too much.
If I pot all the seeds at once, including the unsprouted ones, I keep
the pot constantly moist, maybe with crumbled leaf mulch, for a month or
so until no more seeds are sprouting or until too busy with spring to
remember ;-).
Then put pot where temperature is less than 70oF, preferably 50 to 60o.
My unheated sunporch temps range from ~40 to 50 at night to between 50
and 75 during the day. If it gets any warmer, I open the door to the
house and let it warm the house up!
I hope this helps.

Jeremiah 18New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Potter and the Clay
18 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying, 2 "Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will announce My words to you." 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and there he was, making something on the [a]wheel. 4 But the vessel that he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he remade it into another vessel, as it pleased the potter to make.
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, 6 "Can I not, O house of Israel, deal with you as this potter does?" declares the Lord. "Behold, like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. 7 At one moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to uproot, to pull down, or to destroy it; 8 if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will [b]relent concerning the calamity I planned to bring on it. 9 Or at another moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to build up or to plant it; 10 if it does evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will [c]think better of the good with which I had promised to [d]bless it. 11 So now then, speak to the men of Judah and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying, 'Thus says the Lord, "Behold, I am fashioning calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh turn back, each of you from his evil way, and [e]reform your ways and your deeds."' 12 But they will say, 'It's hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.'
13 "Therefore thus says the Lord,
18 Then they said, "Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah. Surely the law is not going to be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the sage, nor the divine word to the prophet! Come on and let us strike at him with our tongue, and let us give no heed to any of his words."
19 Do give heed to me, O Lord,

The Role of Mobile Operators in Expanding Access to Finance
Ignacio Mas
Tufts University
Jim Rosenberg
World Bank - Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP)
May 1, 2009
CGAP Brief, May 2009
Mobile phones may have a huge role to play in expanding access to finance. But does the company that operates the mobile network need to actually provide financial services? Or should others offer financial services, with the mobile operator merely providing the underlying wireless connectivity? The fact that mobile phones can be used as transactional devices doesn't necessarily mean that the mobile operator needs to "own" the financial service.

Charles Saatchi has said his ex-wife Nigella Lawson came up with the idea of giving their personal assistants company credit cards.
The millionaire art dealer said he was "very fond" of Italian sisters Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo, who are accused of using the cards to spend more than £685,000 on designer clothes and handbags from Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Vivienne Westwood. They have pleaded not guilty.
Asked by prosecutor Jane Carpenter who decided that the defendants should have credit cards, Mr Saatchi said: "My ex-wife, Nigella." The pair divorced earlier this year.
Speaking at Isleworth Crown Court, west London, Mr Saatchi said the credit card bills were paid by his company - Conarco Partnership - before he reimbursed it from his own personal account.
He said the pair were mainly employed for "housekeeping, shopping, doing the laundry, organising everyone in the household."
Asked by Ms Carpenter if the defendants did anything related to his own business interests, the art dealer said: "If I wanted something collected and there was nobody else. I think not a great deal of work in that sense."
Saatchi had to repeatedly be asked to raise his voice for everyone in the packed court room to hear. "I'm so sorry," he said. "I have a quiet voice. I'll do you a better effort."
He agreed with the prosecution that they accompanied the children on holidays and were permitted to live rent-free, but he did not know if a formal employment contract had ever been signed by the two women.
Saatchi recalled a "peculiar" instance one morning when he received a phonecall from a taxi company asking about a booking to Berkshire, when he was not aware of anyone in his household travelling there.
"I said 'are you sure you've got this right?'
"I said 'what name is it booked under?' And they said 'Grillo'," he told the court.
Saatchi said he asked Lawson if Elisabetta, sometimes referred to in court as Lisa, or Francesca, had been sent to do anything for them.
She said they had not, and he said he thought there was "something very peculiar here".
He said he telephoned one of the women, but could not be sure which.
"She said 'I'm at a polo match'.
"I said 'why did you take a taxi out to the country?'
"And she said 'I didn't' and then she said 'I took a taxi to Liverpool Street Station'."
Saatchi said this was not the sort of journey he would have authorised.
The case continues.

Smith isn't one of M15's new recruits but is a mystery shopper.
"I suppose that on occasion I could be described as the customer from hell," he says. "It's my task to ask awkward questions and gauge the staff's reactions. At other times I merely observe and to all intents and purposes I'm just a normal shopper."
Mystery shopping and its associate, mystery travelling, is one of Britain's growth industries and is estimated to be worth pounds 40m a year.
It started in the US where it was initially used to measure the width of the smiles and the sincerity of the "have a nice day" sign-off used by staff in fast food joints.
However, it is now a much more sophisticated business. In the UK mystery shopping is used by retailers such as Dixons and Sainsbury's as well as by other sectors such as airlines, pubs and hotels, to identify and if necessary to improve, levels of customer service.
And it is not just about retailers spying on their employees, mystery shopping organisations say. The Association of Market Survey Organisations, which represents a number of mystery shopping companies, says: "Mystery shopping is now a much more considered tool and is now used by almost any business where service is delivered."
Mystery shopping is just one in an armoury of weapons used by retailers to fight bad service. For years British retailing has been associated with surly or incompetent staff more interested in discussing their plans for the weekend with their colleagues than in helping the customer. That image, coupled with low pay and long hours, has not made retailing a career of choice for graduates. "But if service improves, through initiatives such as mystery shopping, then retailers attract a higher calibre of candidates and things improve. It's an upwards spiral," Smith says.
Some of the mystery shoppers themselves are graduates and full time professional market researchers such as Smith, who has ambitions to move further up the career ladder in the research industry. Others are authentic amateurs who undertake their assigned tasks part time in return for a fee usually between pounds 12 and pounds 15 for a 15-minute shop - or in the case of mystery travellers, for the chance to stay at a hotel and eat dinner free and receive some expenses.
Alan Holliday, managing director of BDI, which claims to be the UK market leader in mystery shopping, says: "We don't use actors. We employ real people who are used to the situation we are asking them to investigate. If for example we are looking at Virgin's Upper Class service then we use real business people to test it out. Similarly if we are investigating a chain of bookmakers we use real life punters."
But fans of "Ab fab" should beware - potential Edina and Patsy's will be disappointed. Mystery shopping is not a job for shopaholics or those prone to histrionics.
"It's not a case of swanning off to your favourite department store for hours of browsing or pretending to have a temper tantrum," Smith says.
Mystery shoppers, having been given a full course of training, work to a tight brief. Their tasks can include observing the length of queues at a supermarket delicatessen counter or counting the number of tills open to asking complex questions about a camcorder in an electrical retail store. Their findings are either sent to the shopping organisation or phoned in and for analysis. The client can if necessary receive a report within 24 hours and set about putting any problems right.
Holliday says that mystery shopping allows clients to identify potential problems quickly. "Although the British are beginning to complain more about bad service, they are much more likely to vote with their feet and take their business elsewhere. We try to prevent that happening."
Although levels of customer service may be rising, mystery shoppers will not necessarily be out of a job. If the expectations of consumers increase then the satisfaction levels must increase still further, he says.

A lot of strange things can happen on a golf course--yes, even stranger than people riding around on goofy-looking carts attempting to hit a tiny ball into a hole seemingly miles away. It just so happens that I had one of those strange things happen to me.
First you need to know that I'm a terrible golfer, and back when this event happened, I was even worse. So when I was standing in the pro shop waiting to pay for my round of golf and I saw a package of orange golf balls for the first time, I was thrilled. I knew immediately that they weren't orange just to be a pretty color. I understood that these balls were made for golfers like me--golfers that spent most of their time looking for their balls in the woods rather than actually playing the game. "No more lost balls for me," I thought. This was the solution! These balls were so brightly colored they practically glowed.
So I took my new box of orange golf balls out to the first tee to play my first round of golf for the year. Let me repeat that if I may: It was the first time I had ever used orange golf balls on the first outing of the year on the first hole and on the very first shot of that hole.
Now the shot was far from spectacular. It was too low, too short, and too far to the right. It skipped and skipped and finally rolled under a large pine tree that had low-hanging branches. When I reached the tree, I hoped that the ball had rolled out the other side so I checked there first, but there was no ball. That only left one possibility--the ball was under the tree some place. I lifted the branches that I thought the ball rolled under and bent down to look, but my ball wasn't there either. Instead, what I found was a mother mallard duck sitting on her nest! Needless to say I was quite surprised that I'd stumbled on such an intimate little scene of nature, but I still needed to find my ball. I hadn't gotten up at the break of dawn to go bird watching; I was trying to play some golf and on my very first shot it seemed that I'd already lost my brand new golf ball.
I took a deep breath and tried to look at the situation logically. The ball wasn't anywhere around the tree, and it wasn't anywhere under the tree. So where was it? Hold on, there was still one place left to look. With the end of my club I gently nudged the duck off her nest and to my amazement there among a nest full of brown duck eggs sat my golf ball. Mother mallard had been trying to hatch it! I quickly removed the ball and played my next shot knowing full well that that was as close to a birdie as I would be all day.

Bruce, it gives new meaning to the phrase, "A bird on the ball is worth a two stroke penalty!" Wait, maybe that's not the right phrase. "A bird on a ball is worth having a beer and a ham sandwich at the clubhouse cafe!" No, I don't think that's the phrase either! Oh well, I'll think of the right phrase eventually!
can you believe that this actually happened to me? my family wanted me to submit it to readers digest but i never did. i'm glad i filed it away in the old brain box 'cause now it's in a real newspaper! if you want read my other articles at that paper just type in my name "bruce kilarski" into a computer search. there's one on the cubs vs white sox conflict, one on high school vs pro football, and also an article about derrick rose (mvp guard for the bulls). can you tell that i'm originally from chicago? by the way, what do you think of my new profile? all about bruce.
Haha! That's classic, Bruce. Have played a few rounds o' Goofy Golf, but never out on a course. Never really appealed to me.
Fun read and funny stuff!
actually happened! honest to god! the only thing i can think of that explains how it got in her nest was that she was responding to some automatic intinctual behavior when she felt the ball bump into her. (uh oh, one of my eggs has fallen out, better push it back in) so i assume she was on automatic pilot the whole time i was walking to the tree.
ohhhh i remember the only time i played golf .... i ended up in the sand bunker and i wasnt alone .... ahhhh young married life pre kids those were the times for being how should i say ... adventerous :)

Telemarketing Companies for Australian Telco
- Status Closed
- Budget min $5000 USD
- Total Bids 6
Project Description
A telecommunication company looking to improve our market share of the Australian Telco space via customer acquisition. We are seeking sales telemarketing companies that will be paid on a generous commission arrangement with increasing commissions per conversion based as well as additional milestone payments for success. The payment structure is geared to allow regular commissions each month to be paid for new conversions as detailed below as well as attractive milestone payments for performance.
We operate a fully automated service with online action of acceptance and voice sign-up for all services. Secure payment input by the customer or the agent (which ever is preferred). Our proprietary platform handles all requirement including a fully integrated "Auto-Dialer".
Potential clients would be offered (what you need to sell the client on) :-
• The lowest cost service currently available
• A flat fee service that includes all call costs locally, nationally and to mobile telephony
• Additional services such as Internet across all mediums ADSL, ADSL2+, 3G and Satellite.
Clients would pay an ongoing monthly fee to retain their service and this will be billed in 1 simple account.
The rewards for successful sales companies are limitless and depend solely on the number of conversions per day and client base. We are structuring a payment scheme that could allow the right sales company to create an strong and long term business out of this opportunity, expanding as conversions per day increase. The clients that can be signed up to this scheme can be from anywhere in Australia and applies to any business or consumer regardless of their current arrangements. Our suggestion is to focus on consumers and small businesses initially which is where we see the best opportunities, however we would like the successful partnering sales companies to be proactive in the marketing approach and identifying target sectors and refining sales scripts based on feedback from calls.
The sales company would get commission on the initial sale and the ability to receive milestone payments for volumes that are pre-defined by both us and the sales company. (paying each month).
Our initial thoughts on the payment structure is:
The sales company would receive an increasing payment per sale of:
Total sales per day Commission / sale
10 $4 ……… the first 10 sales
15 $6 ……… Once you pass 10 sales we will pay this commission on every sale for the day
20 $8 ……… Once you pass 15 sales we will pay this commission on every sale for the day
>20 $10 ……. Once you pass 200 sales we will pay this commission on every sale for the day
All payments above are in USD.
We will provide the relevant Call list and provide these number already passed through the "DNCR" (Australian Do Not Call Register) we have several million phone numbers to work with and these are in many cases complete customer details attached.
We are prepared to offer the use of our "Dialer" or interface direct to your systems should be an option.
We are seeking formal responses from any experienced sales telemarketing companies, including an overview of their proposed approach and estimated number of personnel working on this opportunity.Get free quotes for a project like this

Not sure what to do about France. On the one hand, Paris is pretty far away from Moscow, on the other hand the little corporal is among the worst persons to have as neighbors in this game. Having a hill city being the only city on a short border and stacking units in there would be ideal I think.
Also going to try the map myself now, it's not like I've got anything better to do
Fun game so far. What do the AIs love to say again...?
BOW BEFORE THE MIGHT OF MY HORSE ARCHER - in this case I'm meaning the plural form, of course.
Killed Gandhi, then went for Napoleon and Joao almost simultaneously. The former is down to one city I am going to take in about three turns once my main forces have healed up in Paris, from the latter I took only one city and then sued for peace (got a tech and some gold) because he started building spears and an ugly stalemate began. Going to redeclare when peace ends, my current forces in Coimbra are WAY stronger than what I had in the first Portuguese war.
I do have an unhappiness problem, I think bad micro is to blame. I'm ahead in tech despite all the warmongering and the fact that I haven't used a Scientist for a single turn yet and Genghis is at war with Joao, so... Looking good.
The Settler in StP is going to settle the tundra north of Rostov, to block off Saladin from all the land in the west that will be entirely mine once Lyons falls.
Huge size and no barbarians is a really interesting variation I must say, huge makes warring harder, but no barbarians allows you to neglect your defenses, meaning entirely focusing on something like a Horse Archer war becomes possible.

LOS ANGELES -- Oliver Perez took a novel approach Saturday night -- he decided to stop thinking so much while doing his job.
It worked out well.
Perez pitched six strong innings to earn his first victory in more than three months, rookies Brad Eldred and Ryan Doumit took care of the offense, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-3 Saturday night to stop a four-game losing streak.
The loss was the seventh in eight games for the defending NL West champions and mathematically eliminated the Dodgers from postseason contention. The Dodgers (68-86) trail first-place San Diego (77-77) by nine games with eight remaining.
"There does come a point in time where reality sets in," said Dodgers manager Jim Tracy, whose team won 93 games last season.
Perez (7-5), making his fourth start since coming off the disabled list, gave up one run and five hits to win for the first time since June 21. Five days later, he broke his left big toe while kicking a laundry cart following an ineffective outing in St. Louis.
In his first three starts after being activated, the 24-year-old left-hander lasted a total of 8 2/3 innings, allowing eight runs, 10 hits and nine walks. Perez walked three and struck out four while throwing 96 pitches against the Dodgers.
"I was thinking too much. Today, I was trying to forget everything and be consistent," Perez said. "I was feeling good, the confidence was better. The second inning, I started to be relaxed a little bit, throwing to spots."
Interim manager Pete Mackanin said he was concerned about Perez during the first inning.
But not after that.
"That's the best we've seen him in a long time," Mackanin said. "You could tell by his swagger he felt pretty good about himself. That told us a lot."
Eldred hit a three-run homer, and Doumit had a career-high four hits for the Pirates, who beat the Dodgers for just the third time in the last 19 games between the teams.
"It feels nice -- it's just one of those things where it's all about placement," said Doumit, who raised his batting average from .247 to .259.
"We expect him to hit, that's why he's playing so much," Mackanin said of Doumit, a 24-year-old switch-hitting catcher.
Pittsburgh took a 1-0 lead off Odalis Perez (7-8) in the first when Tike Redman, running on the pitch, scored from first on a two-out single by Jason Bay.
Eldred hit a 1-0 pitch from Elmer Dessens into the left field pavilion with two on and one out in the fourth to make it 4-0.
The Dodgers scored in their half on a sacrifice fly by Jayson Werth, but the Pirates got that run back in the fifth against Dessens on an RBI single by Doumit, and made it 6-1 in the sixth against Franquelis Osoria on a run-scoring single by Redman.
The scored twice in the eighth on a wild pitch by Salomon Torres and an infield out by Dioner Navarro. Both runs were charged to John Grabow.
Pittsburgh's Craig Wilson hit a two-run double off Jonathan Broxton in the ninth.
Odalis Perez, making his first appearance since straining an oblique muscle Aug. 17, worked the first two innings as planned, allowing one run and two hits while throwing 28 pitches. Dessens relieved to start the third and gave up four runs and six hits in 2 1/3 innings.
"I felt weird. It's been five, six weeks since I've been in a real game," Perez said. "It's tough to have your command."
Regarding the Dodgers' difficult season, Perez said, "It's been tough for everyone in this clubhouse. We don't have the same chemistry as last year."
Each of the eight starting position players for the Pirates had at least one hit in the game's first six innings. ... Dodgers RHP Jeff Weaver, who has a career-high 14 wins, will make his last start of the season Tuesday night against Arizona unless the season-finale Oct. 2 at San Diego is a meaningful game. The Padres lead second-place San Francisco by five games. "It's an opportunity to get some more innings for some younger guys," manager Jim Tracy said, adding Weaver was OK with the move. ... Pirates 2B Freddy Sanchez doubled in the fifth to extend his hitting streak to 10 games. ... The Dodgers hit three doubles to give them 273 this season, the second-highest total since the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958. The 2002 team hit 286 doubles. ... Doumit went 4-for-5 to give him 19 hits in 39 at-bats against NL West teams this year.

SOLD -- 1940s Morlove "The Couturier Blouse" Beaded Starburst Collar Rayon Blouse
This product is unavailable
After the wartime restrictions were lifted following the end of WWII, ladies fashion became feminine and delicate once more. Blouses were made of silkier fabrics, such as rayon, and were often embellished (since women no longer had to worry about getting caught in factory machines).
This beautiful blouse is a perfect example of post-war fashion. Cut in the silkiest ivory rayon, this striking blouse features an exquisite two-tone beaded collar with lines of metallic silver and white seed beads jutting downward in a starburst pattern.
Blouse has snaps in the shoulder seam for shoulder pads. Unfortunately, the shoulder pads were removed at some point and are missing from this piece. Top fastens up the back with lucite buttons.
Bust: 36"
Waist: 32"
Total Length: 23"
Label: Morlove, The Couturier Blouse
Condition: Very Good
There is one tiny spot on the back of the blouse near the dart. The metallic silver paint has come off of some of the seed beads, so they are now clear instead of silver. However, all beads are present. Original shoulder pads are missing. Priced accordingly.
Please view our Condition Chart for additional information.

Fes hotels & apartments, all accommodations in Fes
As soon as you are in Morocco Fes, you understand that there are lots of things you should see and visit. It seems that the city of Fes is still in the past, namely in the Middle Ages. Here your feelings are mixed with the beautiful sights, mysterious sounds and rich aroma.
It is the oldest of the imperial cities and a symbolic heart of Morocco. Its labyrinth streets and the ruins of former grandeur give an original charm to the city.
Like all the Moroccan cities, Fes is divided into two parts: the old Fez el-Bali and new Fes el-Jadid. The old city is an isolated place which contains the numerous historic cemeteries. It is easy to get lost in Fes. It has about 9,400 streets and alleys.
From a bird's-eye view, the City Fes resembles an endless calm sea of interesting buildings and towers of the numerous minarets. Being in the city itself, the foreigners feel that it never stops for a second. The life is bubbling here.
The narrow, winding streets and fountains in the elegant courtyards, the noise and bustle of bazaar supplement each other. One of the oldest universities in the world is placed in Fes, and it is still considered to be the religious capital of Morocco.
Besides the historical and informative atmosphere, the spirit of fun is also present here. You will find it in the various restaurants, cafes and bars. All the establishments are clean and friendly, offering the tasty breakfasts and lunches.
Tourists, vacationers and businessmen can be put up in the modern hotels of Fes with a reliable water supply or in more simple accommodations. Sometimes, the foreigners may face with a shortage of hotel rooms, so it is better to order it in advance.
Some of the best hotels have the swimming pools, as well as offer benefits in the form of restaurants and pubs. In Fes, the guests can deep in an active atmosphere of the regular life and get the inexpressible feelings that will remain in the memory forever.
The occupancy level for the hotels in Fes throughout the year is rather big. It could be very difficult to find cheap hotels in Fes at a reasonable price in a few weeks before the visit. The best way to arrange your hotel in Fes is minimum of 2 - 3 months in advance. You could get better prices and find more available hotels. If you could not find your hotel here, we could recommend Booked.net with Fes hotel booking at reasonable prices.

If you're a fan of running and have been waiting for a new running shop to open after "Go Outside and Play" closed, then you're in luck.
The new "Ride and Run" shop is open for business, and if you're wondering what the ride part of Ride and Run is–that would be the bike part of the new shop.
Ride and Run caters to both runners and cyclists, and Owner-Operator Drew Kleine tells the WGIL Morning News that he has a passion for biking and wanted to bring that back to Galesburg.
"I grew up BMX racing which was making the kids do jumps and that sort of thing, and I started that in 4th grade and did that pretty much all through high school and when I went off to college, I switched from BMX racing and went to more mountain biking and road racing," says Kleine.
Kleine says that as for the running aspect of the shop, he trained with Nick Pigg, the former owner of "Go Outside and Play," and learned how to fit running shoes so he can confidently help his running costumers.
He says they have several brands of running shoes and apparel to offer the running community.
Ride and Run is open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

You can get the textured stucco paper at Home Depot in the wallpaper department. It's paintable. I found the Ancient Tablet paper on several online websites by Googling "Ancient Tablet paper." I'm thinking this would make a very interesting headboard.

Product description
- Total Pages: 320
- Genre: Historical romance
A Regency Rogues novel of desire, danger, intrigue, and steamy seduction from acclaimed writer Stefanie Sloane. A notorious scoundrel, the right Honourable Nicholas Bourne has spent years in the East Indies amassing a fortune through questionable means. When Lady Sophia Southwell, the woman promised to Nicholas's brother, seeks his help on a dangerous mission, he is troubled - and torn. Unable to dissuade her from her quest to find a killer, he vows to keep her safe. This makes his mission the hardest test of his wits, honour, and skill. For Sophia is the secret love of his life. For years, Sophia has planned her daring act of revenge against her mother's killer, painstakingly prepared herself by studying the criminal mind. Now she knows that the moment is right and that Nicholas is the man to help her. But she doesn't count on the reckless temptation of his rugged sensuality or the captivating intensity in his deep eyes. As they venture together into the darkest corners of London's underbelly, Sophia must contend with a yearning even more powerful than the quest for vengeance: the call of love.
Author's Biography
A childhood spent lost in the pages of countless novels led Stefanie Sloane to college, where she majored in English. No one was more surprised than Stefanie when she actually put her degree to use and landed a job in Amazon.com's editorial department. She spent more than five years reading for a living before leaving to concentrate on her own stories. Stefanie Sloane lives with her family in Seattle.

Cleanup code on our WP sites - make sure no non-core jQuery or other 'crap' loads up and check/fix theme possibly.

Project Budget$30 - $300 USD

Project Description
Thanks for checking this out.
The goal here is to get *clean* code for our site. That means non-core jQuery is out. Bits of JS leftover from long gone plugins or that could be loaded only for the one page it's needed on should be addressed. If you think 'the site runs' is good enough; pass on this. If you think 'I wish every site was a clean as bootstrap (or similar) then we're on the same page. If you think 'bootstrap is OK, you know what's really clean though? XYZ...' Well, ok, you get the idea and should apply.
Basically; if you subscribe to Pippin; or do a search for him and think 'exactly', then you're who we want to work with.
We host with WP Engine right now; so you'll have power galore at your disposal and a full 'test' platform for any changes you want to make on the site w/o having to impact the live site until you know it works.
The issues you'll be in charge of fixing:
a) We have old, broken, useless, code on some of our sites that needs removed.
b) We want to get some themes, or fix themes we have, but want to make sure it's good, clean,,code. You'll need to check it; or write it.
c) This is ongoing. Fixes now; new sites/features/checks in the future.
This first job is fixed; but track your hourly. Future jobs can be fixed or hourly depending on what works best for you and if we're content with the hours needed for this first job.
To keep it simple we'll have two parts to the first job:
a) Review our site: [url removed, login to view] and fix the lame JS situation. It should minify and load content as soon as possible (not the situation now) and no more scattered JS/CSS that we don't even need or is only used on one page of the site. It should also only use WP CORE for jQuery; not load any other version.
b) Update our homepage to feature some new graphics we've prepared. All the CSS and some JS is waiting to be deployed by you. You'll fix minor margin errors on our site for mobile users. Theme replacement is fine if you'd rather or see it necessary based on your thoughts on what's most effective based on time needed from (a).
...So we can honor those who've read before bidding and mark 'bid spam' on the rest; be sure to put a link to [url removed, login to view] at the top of your bid so I know you've read this far.
Thank you. We'd like to hire in the next day or two, and likely more than one coder, to try and see who is the best fit for ongoing projects.

Younger than most,
Not a lovely thing to do,
In fact its down right Chokeing,
To loose someone like you.
I've told them all I didn't know you,
Or remember who you are,
But everyday I would see you,
Trying to get to know who you are.
I always said tomarrow I'd talk to you,
Then tomarrow came and departed.
When I herd that the sun for you had set,
We all felt so dehearted.
To see the pain in his eyes,
He can't hide it,
Made me cry.
I told him I barely remembered,
So that nobody would find,
That once you had decended,
It was me,
Who had died.

Hello there, Tim here, and I want to tell you about a book I bought online recently called The Paleo Recipe Book (OFFICIAL SITE HERE). It was a $27 purchase, which is probably the most money I have ever in my life paid for a cookbook – and it was worth every penny I paid. It's a lot more than a cookbook. It's full of delicious and healthy recipes, yes, but it also teaches you how to restructure your lifestyle so that you are living more healthily all around. The author of the book is Sebastien Noel, who suffered from many health problems before he started changing his diet and lifestyle to something more natural. The Paleo Recipe Book is the result. It got him feeling better, and it's made me feel a lot better too.
What is the Paleo Diet? Before you purchase a book with 370 Paleo recipes, you are probably wondering what the Paleolithic Diet is in the first place. As the name implies, it's a diet which is based on the way that researchers think our ancestors ate back in the caveman days. This is why it sometimes also known as the Caveman Diet. Why would you want to eat like our ancestors? Aren't we more advanced today? Actually, most of the "advancements" we've made in the field of food are drawbacks. Look on any package of food in a grocery store. Almost without fail, you'll see lists of additives which you can't recognize as food, because they aren't food. They're "food-like substances." Our meats and dairy products are also contaminated with hormones and antibiotics, and pesticides sully our fruits and vegetables.
Cavemen didn't use these additives, hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides. Their food was wholesome, fresh, and healthy, and it was all really food. Cavemen didn't eat a lot of grains since they hadn't figured out how to do agriculture yet, so most of their food was protein rich meats and eggs along with a huge helping of fruits and vegetables. Fungi, nuts, fish, and natural oils also contribute to this diet. How strictly you adhere to the diet is up to you; some people who eat the Paleo Diet are very strict and will avoid grains, while others may eat healthy whole grains. You'll be eating a lot less carbs and a lot more protein, which is good for most people, since we tend to eat too many carbs and too little protein in our modern diets.
Click here for Sebastien's Presentation on the Paleo Recipe Book…
Note that the Paleo Recipe Book is not about weight loss. You can lose weight on this diet, and if you have fat to burn, odds are you will. But the main objective of the program is to get healthier, so that should be your number one focus, even if you are trying to lose weight. Also note that this is not a bodybuilding book, but with the protein-rich recipes, you will probably see improvements in that area s well.
What's in the Paleo Recipe Book?
You get 395 pages of instructions to starting out on a healthy lifestyle in the kitchen along with 370 recipes. An 8-week diet plan is enough to get you started with your daily meals and give you plenty of food to enjoy without a lot of repetition (though a lot of these recipes are so scrumptious I repeat them on a weekly basis).
One of the little extras included in the book is the herb and spice guide. This was one of my very favorite parts of the whole system. I have done some cooking before, and I don't think I was ever bad at it, but one thing I never got the hang of was how to use spices in my food. Every time I'd head to the grocery store I'd be totally intimidated by the spices section. Everything looked so expensive and I was worried I'd buy stuff I didn't need. And then I would wonder why my recipes were so bland. The spices guide really simplified everything and added so much value to the recipes.
Two other bonuses were included in the package. Quick & Simple Paleo Meals is perfect for quick meals before or after work or in the middle of the day when you're in a rush. They only take a few minutes to prepare and they taste delicious. The other bonus is Paleo Desserts. There's nothing wrong with having something sweet once in a while, and these recipes are much better for you than the desserts you typically find pre-packaged in the grocery store.
Other Aspects of the Paleo Lifestyle
You will get the best results from the Paleo Diet if you also start following other guidelines of the Paleo Lifestyle. For example, you will want to start working out several times a week if you don't already, but you will also want to make plenty of time for rest and regeneration. You should get a reasonable amount of sleep each night. You should make time for leisure and spend time with friends and family. You shouldn't sit in one place for hours at a time without taking breaks. Our ancestors were able to survive in a harsh environment not only by eating right, but also by making other healthy choices and living balanced lives.
Is the Paleo Recipe Book For You?
If you want to learn how to cook more healthy meals which also taste amazing, then you will probably love the Paleo Recipe Book. Most diets advise you to eat a lot of bland foods or starve yourself, but this isn't just another fad diet to lose weight overnight. It's a blueprint for a healthy lifestyle which you can maintain over the long term. You'll need to be ready to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but I guarantee you that you'll enjoy cooking more once you start to get better at it. I used to look at cooking as a chore, but now I love it. I feel healthier and more energetic, and I look forward to dinner every night, and so does my family!

How It Works
Think of the annual, 64-team college basketball tournament, but replace the teams with nonprofit organizations.
Now, instead of scoring baskets for points, points are scored by donating online at bracketsforgood.org ($1 = 1 point). Also, instead of 40 minute games, our rounds are up to a week long and the nonprofit that wins the championship round will receive up to a $10,000 grand prize donation in addition to the money they raised each round.
About Us
Founded in 2011, Brackets For Good is a charitable, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Indianapolis. We're focused on helping other nonprofits generate awareness, grab the attention of new donors, and rally internal teams around a free-to-play, bracket-style fundraising tournament where everybody wins.
Thanks to our continued support, we're thrilled to be expanding into more philanthropic communities around the country.

The company holds regular "Big Idea contests" and "Make Days" to encourage out-there business concepts or work on side projects. "We are willing to take bets on ideas that won't go forward," Jacob says. "As an organization, we are well prepared to do that."
