Financing your studies
Germany is not expensive in a European comparison. However, secure funding is very important for the success of your studies. The associated costs at a glance.
International students completing their entire (or part of their) course in Germany need to consider different costs. To get a better overview, you can distinguish between education and living expenses.
Education expenses and tuition fees
The semester fee is generally payable at all universities and for all students in Germany. It has nothing to do with the course fees, and is compiled of fees for the student union and for the student administration (AstA). At many universities the semester fee also includes a semester ticket for local public transport. The actual amount differs for each university, but it will be somewhere between 100 and 250 euros. The semester fee needs to be transferred on enrolment for the course, before the start of every new semester. Whether there are any additional costs for course material or textbooks depends on the specific course.
The semester fee at the University of Cologne in the 2014/15 winter semester is comprised of:
Student administration: EUR 8.77
University sports activities: EUR 1.75
Semester ticket: EUR 162.80
Faculty allocation: EUR 2.10
Student union: EUR 59.00
Total: EUR 234.42
Publicly funded universities normally waive tuition fees for most bachelor's and many master's degree programmes. However, fees are charged for certain Master or PhD programmes. Most private universities also charge tuition fees. The cost of tuition can vary significantly, but in no way reflects the quality of the education.
Living expenses
Living expenses in Germany are slightly above average in a European context. They are below those of countries such as Denmark, Luxembourg or Switzerland, but are quite high compared to countries such as Asia, Africa or Latin America.
Price overview
1 loaf of bread: EUR 1.20 - 3
1 kilo of apples: EUR 2
1 kilo of potatoes: EUR 1
1 litre milk: EUR 0.60 - 1
1 bottle of mineral water (0.75 litres): EUR 0.30 - 0.80
1 cup of coffee (in a café): EUR 2.50
1 beer (in a pub): EUR 2 - 3
1 pizza in a restaurant: EUR 4 - 6
1 pair of shoes: EUR 30 – 100
1 T-shirt: EUR 7 - 50
1 pair of trousers: EUR 30 - 100
1 cinema ticket (student discount): EUR 5 - 8
1 theatre ticket (student discount): EUR 6 - 30
1 ticket to a museum (student discount): EUR 2 - 8
A German student's average monthly budget amounts to 864 euros. This includes the rent, travel expenses, costs for food, clothing, learning material, health insurance, phone, Internet, radio and television fees and expenses for leisure activities. It does not include the semester fee, which needs to be paid prior to every semester as part of re-registration. This means that higher costs arise at the start of the semester. International students have significantly fewer funds than their German counterparts and have to finance their everyday activities with an average of 725 euros.
What do German students pay money for every month?
Rent (incl. ancillary expenses): EUR 298
Food: EUR 165
Clothing: EUR 52
Travel expenses (car/public transport): EUR 82
Health insurance and medical costs. Medication: EUR 66
Phone/Internet/Radio/TV fees, postage: EUR 33
Course materials/learning materials (books, etc.): EUR 30
Leisure, culture and sports: EUR 68
Total: EUR 794

Moose on the loose
While walking in a Finnish forest you might suddenly be surprised to see or hear a horse-sized animal crashing off through the vegetation. Finland's vast forests are home to around 100,000 moose (also known in Europe as elks).
A large bull moose can weigh as much as 700 kilogrammes. These kings of the forest are an imposing sight with their huge crowns of palmate antlers, but they are generally timid outside the autumn rutting season. Considering their huge size moose are surprisingly seldom seen. They usually shelter in dense forest during the daytime, feeding on forest plants. They are easiest to spot when they occasionally venture out of the trees to graze on marshes, meadows and fields in the twilight hours around dawn and dusk.

Matthew 3:13-17New King James Version (NKJV)
John Baptizes Jesus
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?"
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him.
16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He[a] saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Daily Deal Fatigue or Unabated Enthusiasm? A Study of Consumer Perceptions of Daily Deal Promotions
Utpal M. Dholakia
Rice University - Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business
Sheryl E. Kimes
Cornell University - School of Hotel Administration
September 11, 2011
We examined consumer perceptions of daily deal promotions. In a survey-based study conducted with a diverse sample of 973 respondents (655 daily deal users and 318 non-users), we find no evidence of daily deal fatigue. Instead, the heaviest daily deal users (those who have purchased 11 or more deals) are the most enthusiastic about them. They indicate the greatest interest in checking their email for deal offers every day, have little trouble in using the deals before they expire, believe that daily deals help them save money on things they would have purchased anyway, and say they have integrated these deals into their usual shopping behavior. As another positive sign, all users indicate high levels of intentions to purchase a daily deal again within the next month. Non-users indicate not using daily deals primarily because of awareness and access issues, and given that only 16.7% of our panel's population has used daily deals before, there is significant opportunity for growth of daily deals on the consumer side. In assessing different sites, Groupon has the highest levels of awareness, use, and heart share among daily deal users, whereas LivingSocial, eversave, Travelzoo, and OpenTable score significantly lower on these metrics. We also find daily deal usage decreases with the consumer's age, increases with the household income, and is the highest for those who live in urban areas. Psychologically, heavier daily deal users are less interested in being seen as different or 'fringe' in their shopping patterns, are less careful with their personal finances, are more interested in trying new things so as to have experiences to talk about and influence others, and are attracted to a deal because it is a deal rather than because of its magnitude. Our findings suggest that consumers may be less sensitive to the depth of daily deal discount than is conventionally believed and may be appealed to via creative and subtle offers offering lower discounts.

Speed, guard play key for the Greyhounds hoops team
Shorewood will need to stay healthy
Shorewood - In order to be a more perimeter-based team this season, the Shorewood boys basketball team will need to stay healthy if it wants to succeed this winter.
"It's been a little slow so far," veteran coach Phil Jones said. "We've got a lot of new kids out and we're working in a new offense because we really don't have an inside player like we did last year (the now-graduated Aaron Bailey), so we will be more perimeter-based and will look to spread the floor more."
The Greyhounds, who were 11-12 last season, opened Woodland Conference play today at Greenfield and then are at Cudahy on Nov. 27.
They will build around 6-2 senior guard Donovan Freeman (12 ppg), 6-1 senior Bobby Kohl (8.2 ppg and 6.5 rpg) and 5-9 junior Kejaun Glosson (9 ppg). Freeman, who battled injuries all through the football season, is currently hampered by an elbow issue and the timing of his return is uncertain.
Other returnees include seniors 6-3 Carmen Purvis (4.1 ppg and 5.3 rpg), 6-0 Charles Organ (3 ppg) and 6-0 Jurell Jones (2.5 ppg).
Others looking to contribute are seniors 5-10 Anthony Poorman, 5-11 Dylan Dismuke and 6-0 Alec Grimmer; sophomores 5-9 Kevin Taylor, 6-4 Paris Perkins, and 6-0 Andrew Davis and 5-7 freshman Te'Jon Lucas.
"We're definitely going to be more athletic and quicker," Jones said. "We'll also have more ballhandlers, and our plan is to have any of the five on the floor at any one time be able to handle the ball. And we won't have the traditional man in the post."
A key to success, Jones said is because of a lack of size, everyone will need to be a rebounder.
"The majority of the conference is like that this year," he said. "There's just not a great deal of size out there and so, like us, there will also be a lot of guard play in the conference."

When Boston's Logan International Airport repaves one of its runways next year, it will use a new asphalt technology designed to have less environmental impact. So-called "warm mix" asphalt is produced using less heat, which saves up to 200,000 gallons of fossil fuel. Made with a mix of recycled asphalt, applying the new surface will also release an estimated 20% less greenhouse gases.

Implications of the Affordable Care Act for People With HIV Infection and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program: What Does the Future Hold?
There are numerous aspects of the Affordable Care Act that will be important for people with HIV in the U.S., — however, it is unlikely that these changes will address all the needs of people with HIV. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program will thus remain crucial for the provision of adequate health care to HIV-infected individuals, but it will need to change. Changes in the Ryan White Program's role will depend largely on state decisions on Medicaid expansion and health care marketplaces.

Ooh take a look at these fab new shades going into the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 HR collection. There is 24 Carat Gold, Timeless Black and Light in Purple which is called the 'transformer' shade!
|Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 HR New Shades
I have done some quick, very light swatches so you can get idea of the shades:
|Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 HR New Shades
They are really buidable and have incredible staying power, true to the original shades of Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 HR that launched earlier this year.
The 24 Carat Gold is beautiful – it is formulated with a clear base and enriched with golden pigment. It is super sparkly and looks like real gold!
The Timeless Black can be used for a super smoky eye, or as an eyeliner, and it's suggested to try it under the transformer shade for a 3D holographic effect. I think I'll give that a go.
Purple in Light – the holographic transformer shade has multi-layered reflective pearls. If you wear it alone it is a light metallic blue that alters when you move, but layered on top of other shades, it changes the base colour and adds intense reflection I'm told. Sounds fun!

Boo so annoyed that we didn't get any of the more wearable nude/bronze colours that were released in the US for autumn/winter. 🙁

Breath-Taking Europe Dazzles At Clonmel
Another brilliant jump from Sizing Europe under Andrew Lynch at Clonmel
©Healy Racing Photos From five out the writing was on the wall for Sizing Europe's rivals, he was in front from before the next and he more than lived up to his star-billing when pummelling his four opponents from there home in the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase.
On his first appearance in public at Powerstown Park, Sizing Europe put up as good a performance as has likely ever been seen at the famous old venue, to take his score over two and a half miles to four out of four. He eventually sauntered home an unflattering twenty lengths to the good from Magnanimity.
Sizing Europe's trainer Henry de Bromhead (his father Harry won this event 20 years ago with Fissure Seal) was obviously thrilled, saying: "Wow - that's all I can say. I say it every time but I'm so lucky to have him and he nearly seems to be getting better and was brilliant there.
"Andrew (Lynch, winning jockey) said he was running away with him at times coming down the hill. I'm the same as Alan (Potts, victorious owner), I'd love to see him on good ground over three miles.
"I know he is a way better horse on better ground and I don't want to see him in a slog.
"His next run is ground dependent but he'll have three entries at Christmas, the King George, the Lexus and the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet.
"I'm ruling the Tingle Creek out. The King George is a race that Alan would love to have a go at and we'll have to give it serious consideration.
"This season he is jumping so much better at the slower pace."
Andrew Lynch is pinching himself, following on from his Flemenstar win on Sunday and he said: "It was unreal – the more you pull out of him the more he wants to go. He has plenty of options now after that."
Paddy Power go 10/1 from 12s about Sizing Europe for the King George.
Stan James go 14/1 from 20s about Sizing Europe for the King George.
The same firm make him an 11/2 shot (from 6s) for the Champion Chase and 10/1 (from 14s) for the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham. (TW & EM)
Looking Forward to Cheltenham: What to lookout for
With the Cheltenham Festival now looming large on the horizon, connections of the leading lights are completing preparations on both sides of the Irish Sea.

This is the 1998 vintage Oban Distillers Edition, which is given a finishing period in Montilla Fino casks for an interesting depth of flavour. An excellent and deeply intriguing expression of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. It matches the sea spray notes often found in Oban's malts with a dry fruitiness from the casks very well indeed.

This is my favorite whisky by far. It's smooth and complex. I was happy with the Oban 14, but this one is way better. Enough complexity to keep you intrigue, but nothing is overpowering. Will be stocking up on this one.
14th December 2015
A fan of the 14 yr. I finally spent the extra to compare.What a mistake, I cannot now go back to the 14 yr.The DE has all the peat and kick of the 14 yr. yet refined and smoothed to a nice medium rich malty Scotch!
29th April 2014
I had this alongside the standard 14YO and this was a massive let down! Only release a finish if it's an improvement, and this ain't. Subtle to the point of bland and finish-less.
28th February 2014
My current favorite..this is a dynamic malt and a must try from Oban!

As opening of classes and rainy season near, the Department of Education reminded local government officials that it is now their task to declare class suspensions during typhoons and other calamities.
"DepEd will no longer be announcing class suspensions. The responsibility now lies with the local government officials as they are in a better position to assess the local situation," a department statement read Friday.
The statement added that automatic cancellation of classes during typhoons will still be based on the storm signal sent out by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
According to government guidelines, when Signal No. 1 is raised by PAGASA, public and private pre-school and kindergarten classes in the affected areas are automatically suspended. At Signal No. 2, the suspension will include elementary and secondary classes. When Signal No. 3 is announced, classes in all levels and work in all DepEd offices are cancelled.
"Local government officials are expected to announce cancellation of classes not later than 4:30 a.m. for whole day cancellation and 11:00 a.m. for afternoon class suspension," the DepEd noted.
In the absence of typhoon signals from PAGASA, the statement said the local chief executive may enforce localized suspension of classes in both public and private schools and work in government offices.
On the other hand, a school head may only cancel or suspend classes in cases where urgent action is needed to prevent bodily harm or loss of lives.
"Concerned local DepEd and private school officials are directed to coordinate closely with LGUs in times of inclement weather," the statement said.

Studies of volume overload (VO) of mitral and aortic regurgitation (MR and AR) show no benefit on LV remodeling using vasodilator drugs or renin-angiotensin system blockade. In the current project, we present preliminary data demonstrating the existence of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) within mitochondria and their activation with VO. The mitochondrial (mt) DNA haplotype of C57BL/6J compared to that of C3h/HeN mice have higher proton coupling and ROS generation. Therefore we hypothesize that the C57 mtDNA haplotype produces greater cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and bioenergetic dysfunction, mitochondrial MMP activation, and disruption of myofibrillar and mitochondrial structure in VO. ROS can act as signaling mechanisms to the nucleus. We also hypothesize that mitochondrial haplotype directs nuclear molecular signals that also produce a greater molecular inflammatory response and predict adverse LV remodeling and function in VO. We will use the C57 mouse with its nuclear background combined with C3H mtDNA (C57n:C3Hmt) mitochondrial nuclear exchange (MNX) mouse, to test whether mice with C3H mtDNA can rescue C57 from pathologic consequences of VO and vice versa in C3Hn:C57mt mice in the following specific aims. 1) Characterize the impact of mtDNA haplotype on cellular bioenergetics and LV function in VO. 2) Demonstrate that mtDNA haplotype determines increased mitochondrial oxidant production in VO and causes mitochondrial MMP activation. 3) Demonstrate that mtDNA haplotype influences nuclear molecular inflammatory response in the LV of mice subjected to the VO of ACF. This proposal with utilize the aortocaval fistula mouse model of VO, which integrates novel technology of measurements of bioenergetics of intact cardiomyocytes and oxidative stress in a MNX mouse model in which the mitochondrial (mt) DNA of one mouse strain is incorporated into the nuclear (n) genome of another (e.g., C57n:C3Hmt or C3Hn:C57mt).
Studies of volume overload (VO) of mitral and aortic regurgitation (MR and AR) show no benefit on LV remodeling using vasodilator drugs or renin-angiotensin system blockade. Intra- mitochondrial ROS generate a variety of products within the mitochondria which modify mitochondrial proteins and so change their function and activity. Here we test the hypothesis that variations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can modify the response to stress using novel murine models of mtDNA haplotype.

The Pandora of art. The Netflix of voter registration. The Pinterest of porn. New startup ideas are often difficult to explain, but in recent years, entrepreneurs, PR firms, and the tech press have turned to business analogies like these to quickly elucidate new concepts.
Calling a startup the "Netflix of..." or the "Airbnb of..." can instantly explain the service or business model, but such analogies are used so often that they've become a joke in the tech world. (A parody site IsThisForThat.com was even created to mock the trend; for example: "So, basically, it's like a Yelp for highway accidents!") But the analogies aren't going away, despite how much they're supposedly hated. Only recently, we've seen the "Netflix for nail polish," the "Pandora of talk radio," and the "Pinterest of daily deals." As annoying and unjustified as the analogies often are, they're actually considered helpful to most involved in the industry, from VCs to company founders.
"I think there's a value for that first five seconds before you're established," says Aaron Hirschhorn, founder of DogVacay, which is often called the Airbnb for dogs. "Anything that helps you quickly explain the concept at least adds value."
Sonia Sahney Nagar agrees. She says her startup Pickie, which many consider the Flipboard for shopping, benefitted from making the comparison, especially with VCs. "I know it's run out of favor with the tech community—that it's very passé now—but I remember in investor meetings, we used to be like, 'Well, you look at all your social feeds and plug in products,' and there would be this glossy look in people's eyes. But when we said, 'We're the Flipboard for shopping,' they'd immediately get it."
As much as the tech press complains of such overused analogies, it's often the media that invents the comparisons. "It was something the media dreamed up," Hirschhorn says of DogVacay's tag. "It's a moniker the tech press really enjoys, for easy-to-digest headlines. We raised funding recently, and not once did Airbnb come up in any of my interviews [about the funding]. But in almost every single article, it was, 'DogVacay, the Airbnb for dogs.'"
Hirschhorn and Nagar aren't worried about the comparisons, nor are they concerned with potentially being typecast. ("I'm not worried about it at all," Hirschhorn says.)
But they both hope to one day outgrow the analogies.
"I hope we grow out of it—to someday become our own entity," Nagar says. "Because we're doing things that are different than just being called the 'Flipboard for blah.'"

Lululemon's Sheer Behinds Move Markets
Lululemon Athletica Inc. announced yesterday that it has had to pull about 17 percent of women's pants from its stores because a batch of its black Luon bottoms showed a little too much skin. Cue the bad jokes about buns, downward dogs and bottom lines.
That last one isn't so funny for the Vancouver-based company. By the close of trading today in New York, the stock was down 16 percent this year. The company's shares fell more than 5 percent this morning. Lululemon has revised its estimate for its current quarter revenue, $343 million, down from as much as $355 million.
Meanwhile, the company is assuring customers that it's trying to get to the bottom (oops) of the matter. It will have its famous stretchy pants back on shelves as soon as possible, lest any chaos ensue. The "Black Luon Pants Shortage Expected-FAQ" posted on its website explains: "We are working closely with our manufacturing partner to understand what happened during the period this specific fabric was made."
On the other side of the issue, and the world, Reuters reports that Taiwanese Lululemon supplier Eclat Textile "said it had followed Lulu's specifications for the pants, and that the retailer had apparently misjudged customer tastes." Roger Lo, Eclat's chief financial officer, told the Wall Street Journal: "All the pants were manufactured according to the requirements set out in the contract with Lululemon." Lululemon says its sourcing manager for raw materials "is currently at Eclat's facilities in Taiwan." But Eclat's message to Lululemon seems clear: You got what you asked for.
Alas, we stumble upon the existential problem lying beneath (yikes) this financial and athletic crisis: How much transparency are we really seeking?
Indeed, while the black Luon pants have been pulled from the shelves, other lightly-colored bottoms sell on the company's website with the disclaimer: "You may experience sheerness with some of our bright-coloured bottoms because of the lightweight nature of the fabric. We recommend you do a couple of Down Dogs in your bright-coloured bottoms to ensure you're happy with the fit and coverage."
This may be one topic on which to refrain from advocating for more transparency. Stay tuned for more coverage.

If you held the strings
Would you sacrifice me,
To save the one you love
Or is it me?
I can't be sure
or know for certian,
But I'll give you the shackles,
And if you can break them,
You can have me,
What ever your will
In return for the time it took to free me,
beceuse by then
you know me.

The news came as it was revealed that BA and its intended partner, American Airlines, are each to take a 5 per cent stake in the Spanish flag carrier Iberia as part of its privatisation.
The value of the deal was not disclosed, but the British airline is to raise $137m from the sale of shares in Galileo at the offer price of $24.50 a share announced yesterday, giving BA a profit on its stake of pounds 50m. It said it would retain a 7 per cent holding in the business, worth $171m, unless demand forces it to release further shares under the terms of the float.
The public offering will value Galileo as a whole at $2.45bn, which compares with the $3.5bn at which Sabre, a rival and slightly larger computer reservations system, was valued last year when American Airlines floated a 20 per cent stake.
Galileo supplies travel agents operating from 36,000 locations and other subscribers with fare information, reservations and ticket issuing facilities covering 525 airlines. United Airlines of the US, the world's biggest carrier, is the biggest operator to be covered by the Galileo system, accounting for 12 per cent of all the bookings made through it.
The news about Iberia was revealed in a weekend interview with Pedro Ferreras, chairman of SEPI, Spain's state holding company. Mr Ferreras said the BA and American stakes would be "symbolic", as a prelude to the state airline's privatisation process starting at the end of the year. The plan is to float a 50 per cent stake on the Spanish stock market by the end of 1999.
Separately, BA said yesterday it had as yet received no approach from the European Union after a report that Karel van Miert, the competition commissioner, is demanding massive cuts in its transatlantic services as the price for clearing the link-up with American Airlines.

2.9 /5 from 170 reviews
It was above average.
When I arrived the man behind the desk helped me carry my bags down to my room then showed me the room and shut the door. He made me very uncomfortable especially when he kissed my hand goodbye. I immediately checked for another hotel. The wifi did not work as well as the air conditioning and tv and there was blood on the sheets.
Air conditioning did not work. Wifi was spotty. Bed was hard as a rock. Shower uncomfortably small. The room smelled like garbage.
Very disappointed. Room was tiny, dirty, decor poor, furniture horrid. Opp the reception the receptionist said had another room in basement but was smaller. Breakfast was poor too. They did have a fridge which was good and near to tube. Overall I will not be staying at this hotel again unless the accomodation improves drastically.
The hotel, overall, was not a bad hotel. In general, it was clean with good beds and bathroom. However, we were in London during an extreme heatwave and our room was on the top floor (5th). We went up 8 flights of stairs and the air became hotter and more stagnant as we ascended up. There was not a window that opened in the hallway, so no airflow up to the top level. Our room was suffocating and unbearably hot. The window in the room had a broken hinge, did not open all the way. There was a wall fan, but the oscillator was broken, so it did not turn. We placed wet towels over ourselves to cool down. Also, the TV and the phone did not work. The worst part was that when I told the office staff that I was concerned about my family's safety with the extremely hot temperature in the room, they did not seem to care. I asked to have an additional fan brought to the room while we were out for the day, and they did not. I asked again for a fan, in the evening, and the desk clerk gave me his table top fan ( a small help). Of course, he sat in an office with air conditioning. If there was normal weather, we may have been comfortable and enjoyed our stay, but with extreme weather, we were miserable. In Winter there would also be a problem because the window did not latch securely shut. I also was disappointed the TV, phone, and fan were all broken.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Helped Me Alot IBM 000-221You will be glad to know that I passed my 000-221 exam. Thank you very much for yr help and support. Test-inside really helped me a lot...specially the exam into which i was so weak...thanks for yr correction. I took the exam IBM System 000-221 in July, and I got a satisfactory score! Thanks to the Test-inside, I watched the video of the speaking test on the website and know how to behave better when speaking to the examiner...Thank you to everyone who is responsible for this site.
Great Help 000-221Initially I was unwilling to write the IBM 000-221 exams as I was frightened about the results. But Test-insidegave me the hope and confidence to face the IBM System 000-221 exam without further confusions. Without them I would have ended up facing doubts onto how I can pass the exams. It's hard to find somethin.I passed the exam last week and i scored 93%.Though i found it very difficult to prepare myself for the exam Test-inside team helped me overcome it with the help of their study materials and lab guides.
Are Great Features 000-221A few comments on your two excellent exam IBM 000-221 training modules. The audiovisual presentations in the Online Multimedia Course are great! The Test-inside chapters reinforce my learning while travelling, which would otherwise be time wasted listening to music or the radio. I like how you can choose the number of exam IBM System 000-221 questions, I can quickly do a 25 question assessment. If I have longer I can do the 50 or 100 questions. The flexible navigation and the ability to tag question and return to them later are also great features.
Great Site IBM 000-221I finished and immediately without taking the 000-221 exam. I finished Test-inside school at the end of Sept and didn't get the approval from the state to take the exam. I found this site and joined. I spent last Mon-Fri on this site. I passed the IBM System 000-221 exam on my first try. This site is well worth the SMALL amount of money that I spent. I focused on taking all of the quizzes first and then after doing well on those I went back and read all of the sections. GREAT SITE!! Test-inside Thank you again.
Fun To Learn 000-221I completed the Test-inside course. This was my first on-line course. Other courses offered took about 5 days away from work and family. I loved the flexibility of completing the modules at my convenience. Exam IBM 000-221 Content was overall great. Thank you for a great course, will recommend to my co-workers. It was very interesting and fun to learn, nice to be able to replay exam IBM System 000-221 sections when needed and have printouts available. I learned a lot from this Test-inside course.
Thanks For Work IBM System 000-221Thanks for the work book. Test-inside helped me pass the IBM 000-221 test. I am now signing my contract. I was asked to talk about your Test-inside modules which are so effective. I recomended your site to all my downline associates. I found it very inspiring to them. Especially those who did not pass once, even twice using another vendor. My company posted a bulletin showing your Test-inside classes after my testimony. I repeat I was very confident when I got to the 000-221 exam, and passed on the first attempt.
That Was Motivation IBM System 000-221This Test-inside course was really great! It helped me understand the concept of insurance. I have taken the 000-221 exam previously and failed the test. However, today my goal was achieved and I passed! When I left the Examination Room I called my wife and told her that I was 200% sure that I had passed. I spoke to a friend who took the IBM 000-221 exam and passed on the 3rd try.That was the motivation I needed. Right away I started Test-inside preparation. Your demo was so impressive that I had to try it.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
This year's AGC gave me (Dana Massey, Senior Editor) a unique chance to talk on the panels I normally cover. I sat on a panel that discussed the role of third party community sites and their interaction with game developers. Today, I give you my summary of the panel and some additional thoughts on the topic.
|Later, in response to a question from Bruce Woodcock, I got to get my prepared rant out there. Id written it out in advance, and while the actual delivery strayed a bit, Im putting my originally intended version here:
We [third party community and news sites] are the trusted impendent sources, but only if you [developers] let us be .It sounds like a contradiction, but when companies try to control factual negative press we [game press] must make a choice. Do we cave and cease to become a reliable independent source or do we risk no longer being a source at all? It hurts games over time more than us. If you never let anyone say bad things, the good things earned or not become meaningless. The only way to control your press is to make good games!
The rant above stems from a not uncommon practice of companies who complain bitterly or worse cut off communication after an unflattering editorial or review. It happens, it has happened on MMORPG.com and our policy has always been to let them react that way if they want. To be clear though, this only applies to factual or fair negative press. We have a responsibility as well and should expect to loose our relationships if we unabashedly and unjustifiably attack a game simply because we were in a bad mood.

It sounded pretty interesting Dana, and I have to agree with what you told the panel.
I am also interested in how the PR gurus approached the panel in terms of strategies to identify and control the perceptions of their product in the fan community, as if it was in their power to manipulate it. In some ways they have tools at their disposal. They buy ads, and they line up access to interviews and exclusives.
However, the talk on the panel also showed a lot of hubris on the part of the public relations arm of the gaming industry, and they are going to have to come to grips with the fact that the fan community needs neither ads, nor interviews, nor exclusives to exist, be popular, and most of all, be trusted. The FoH and f13 boards aren't looked at by the independent mmo fans because they rely on official channels, and official revenue. If they give no news, we can still create news through our membership in the form of rumors, speculation, conspiracy, and muckraking; all of it bad for them, and all of it believed as genuine.
I think one of the things business fails to truly grasp is how media savvy we are today in the industrialized world, and in new industries like tech and gaming, they are even less aware of it. The fans today recognize spin, they can sniff out street teams, they can pull the gurellas out of the mist, all without the use of a tinfoil hat. Yet even so, many of us are by nature already wearing them, and to tell you the truth, we revel in them.
The fan community has been so innundated by these tactics from the industry, that even genuine comments of praise from disinterested parties are assumed to be just more biased spin out of the marketing department. Just take a look at our forums and our reviews and you'll see how suspicious many of us can be.
Part of the reason we are all here is because we are already wearing tinfoil hats due to the inability of the official sites to be truthful, and we have a tendency to take such attitudes to the extreme. We oftentimes do not need to have any reason to believe a negative rumor is true, and at the same time remain skeptical at even the most innocuous fact if it happens to look good for a game. The mere fact that it is negative is verification enough to make it credible to the third party members, while at the same time, the mere fact that the comment is positive heightens our skeptical instincts.
Therefore, if they believe that they are doing themselves any favor by staying away from us, then they should think again. We'll talk about their games whether they give us things to talk about, or not. So its better that they give us constructive things to talk about, and it starts by answering our questions without a script.
The reason we in the fan community are cynical has to do with the reasons we are here, and not on their official forums and blogs. In fact, the very presence of the 3rd party sites is due in large measure to the lack of cred their PR really has. Perhaps it would be interesting from a media standpoint to see the membership rates at times of great controversy, like the cancellation of Ultima X, the NGE or CU of SWG, or the launch of Dark and Light. I would bet that the membership rolls increase dramatically whenever the games suffer a setback, for there is no reason to come here if there is no reason to leave the provider's community network.
Ultimately though, I think what they need to understand is that only they can prevent tinfoil hat speculation, and negative perceptions from the 3rd party sites. They prevent it by being transparent (which they refuse to do), and keeping the viral and gurrella tactics out of here (which they are trying to do instead of transparency). The gurrella tactics don't work here (no offense at your avatar, Dana), and the transparency can go a long way in restoring the growing credability gap the providers are experiencing.

People dont trust game companies becuase history shows they dont act in a trustable manner.
People dont trust "Journalists",game reviewers,game magazines,game sites becuase we know where their income comes from."Journalists" and game reviewers often come off as incredbly biased surrogate game company pr guys,instead of as people of the occupation they hold.
Reviews are often non-sensical.I cant think of a single MMO customer service team that would rank above a 2 or 3 rating wise (on a 1 to 10 scale).YET look at the insanely high scores contiually given them by these "jouranlists" and game reviewers.
Site like this either serve the customers, or serve the game companies.There are FAR too many cases where these factions would be in conflict for you to effectively stay in the middle.
If you choose to serve the customers, you might get some respect.
BUT if you choose to serve the game companies then expect peoplel to eventually figure that out and treat you like the company CS reps youve chosen to become.

Spyderco's Rescue knife is long favored by seafarers and the design has since been embraced by rescue workers, EMT's and ranchers-anyone cutting around flesh in an emergency. Spyderco's Rescue sheepfoot blade is flat saber-ground VG-10. The Spyderco Round Hole is enlarged to 14mm resulting in an enlarged hump that boosts ergonomics, strengthens the blade and lessens fatigue during long repetitive cutting. Spine texturing, a deep choil and volcano grip keep the knife from slipping in the hand. FRN handle comes equipped with an ambidextrous tip-up carrying clip.

From here:
VATICAN CITY – Pope John Paul II, who had already canceled several days of appointments, was rushed to the hospital Tuesday night with complications of the flu, the Vatican said.
The pope, 84, who has been in poor health for several years, fell ill with influenza Sunday.
"The flu condition that has afflicted the Holy Father for the past three days deteriorated tonight with an acute laryngospasm," the Vatican said in a statement. "For this reason, it was decided to urgently take the Pope to the Gemelli hospital."
Laryngospasm is a closing of the larynx that blocks the passage of air to the lungs.[…]
Until shortly before 11 p.m., the Vatican had appeared calm, with no traffic or sign of an alert, and Vatican radio had just issued reassuring news about his condition. Suddenly, cars with Vatican license plates began speeding toward to the hospital, according to an Associated Press correspondent at the scene.[…]
The Vatican makes brief announcements when the pope takes ill but rarely provides details on the extent of the illness or any medicine he may be taking. In addition to Parkinson's disease, he suffers from crippling knee and hip ailments.
I fear he may not be alive much longer. Such an old man, with so many ailments, now apparently suffering from complications caused by influenza…
This Pope has bounced back from the brink before, and I hope he does so again. But if not, there will be a period of global mourning.
And then the politics of succession will begin in earnest…Powered by Sidelines
