In what appears to be an alarming trend for employers, the Chicago Tribune recently reported that a former Chicago State University employee was awarded $3 million after a Cook County, Illinois jury found that the University retaliated against him for reporting alleged misconduct by top university officials in violation of the Illinois State Official and Employees Ethics Act (5 ILCS 430/15-5, et seq.) and the Illinois Whistleblower Act. Crowley v. Chicago State University, No. 2010-L-012657.
Plaintiff James Crowley (Crowley) was the Senior Legal Counsel for Chicago State University (University). His responsibilities included reviewing contracts and processing Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests. During his employment, the University hired a new President, Wayne Watson (Watson). Watson did not commence his employment immediately due to a retirement benefits regulation; however, Watson allegedly made official University decisions and moved into the Presidential residence during the interim period. Crowley received several FOIA requests inquiring about whether Watson was working unofficially in contravention of the benefits regulation.
Crowley alleged that Watson urged him to withhold certain documents from the FOIA requests, and threatened him by saying "If you read this my way, you are my friend. If you read it the other way, you are my enemy." Crowley refused Watson's request, and released all documents relevant to the FOIA inquiry. Crowley reported his concerns about the FOIA requests, as well as concerns about the University's contracting practices, to the Illinois Attorney General's Office. The University subsequently terminated Crowley's employment. Crowley filed suit alleging that he was terminated for refusing to withhold documents from the FOIA requests and reporting the University's alleged misconduct in violation of the Illinois State Official and Employees Ethics Act and the Illinois Whistleblower Act.
Jury Verdict
The jury found in favor of Crowley, and awarded him $480,000 in back pay and an additional $2 million in punitive damages. The jury also concluded that Crowley should be reinstated to his prior position. After receiving the jury's verdict, the presiding judge doubled the jury's back pay award, as permitted under state law, and also granted Crowley $60,000 in interest.
Multi-million dollar judgments in state court whistleblower retaliation cases are trending at an alarming rate. We recently reported on a $6 million whistleblower verdict in California and other large verdicts in Minnesota and New Jersey. This trend highlights the serious risks employers face under state and federal whistleblower laws, and servers as a wake-up call for employers to carefully review and refine their whistleblower policies and related practices.

Aw! I miss you all!
I better talk about London before the pangs of homesickness gets to me! I've had a really lovely week. I'm heading off on a wee road trip tomorrow up through Scotland with Darcy - but wanted to tell you what I've been up to and what I'm loving instore at City Chic this week.
This week, here in London, I 've been super busy doing some freelance days in at the BBC. It was quite exciting - I was working on an amazing documentary for release later in the year. VERY different to the type of material I usually work on - so it was quite a good challenge!
Also, I went to the launch of the latest UK based Underwear Range by Celebrity Stylist Gok Wan... It was pretty fab and I got to see Gok, himself!
Next week, I'm attending a big event in London for UK Bloggers called Plus London Two. There will be OVER 100 plus-size women and bloggers at the event and I can not wait. I'm sure we'll talk fashion, shopping and style! It will be an amazing event and I plan to wear City Chic. I get LOADS of questions about the brand when I'm out here in London and it's nice to feel like I can share details on my favourite brand with so many other girls.
I am contemplating what to wear... I know some girls will go all out in glitzy dresses and bling, while others will keep it cool and casual! I think a signature style City Chic dress with wicked accessories and great boots is the way to go... And at the moment, I have plenty of options! I am SO in love with the current range.
What do you rekon? All of these would work with tights, boots and a City Chic jacket, huh? Hmm. I LOVE planning outfits and essentially - this is a mega day/night "out with the girls"... Isn't it lovely? A great event and the challenge of what to wear? I will keep you posted!
Smooches, Em. x.
PS. If you are Stateside - Don't miss the Feline Valentine's Specials! Rowr!

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Newly renovated home on a clear natural branch of the Weeki Wachee river, direct access to the Gulf of Mexico and close to major attractions. Frequent manatee visits and fishing right from the dock. Dock runs the length of the seawall. Covered parking. Weeki Wachee preserve is directly behind the home and creates a beautiful serene view with no rear neighbors. Enjoy swimming or just relaxing while drinking coffee on the screen porch.
This cozy and comfortable river front home was the perfect getaway. The lovely decorated house has all the comforts of a home away from home. It has a great dock where we were able to keep our boat docked our entire stay. We had a fabulous time fishing and visiting family and friends nearby. We will definitely be back!
Bring some groceries, beach towels and music - you will need nothing else. Very nice owners.
The pictures on this listing do not do it justice, It is so much more than what you see!! We arrived to an immaculately clean and beautifully furnished home. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a home away from home from the appliances and dishes in the kitchen to the closet full of linens in the bathroom. What you don't see in the pics is the awesome walk-in shower in the master bath with a pebbled stone floor, It was NICE!!! We swam in the clear water off the dock daily and made use of the kayaks. We saw many manatees and all types of fish, We also caught fish and crab from the dock and had a fish fry/crab boil for dinner one night. It is a 5 minute kayak ride to the sandy beach at Roger's park and the Upper Deck restaurant. The owner's are very friendly and quick to respond. I look forward to my next visit, In fact I cant wait LOL!!!
The own was absolutely accommodating and booked us in even though it was spur of the moment!! Thank you so much!! We had the time of our lives.. Our kids truly enjoyed kayaking is the beautiful clear springs and seeing manatees!! The house is equipped with everything a family would need all you need to do is buy groceries!! We stayed kayaking all week what an adventure, THANK YOU!!

Create a landing page or coming soon page and collect emails.
Create a landing page or coming soon page in as little as 5 minutes without any programming or design skills.
I created this plugin with marketers and designers in mind. It is easy to use whether you are building your own list or helping your clients build their list. This plugin will help you create landing pages and coming soon pages that will work for you. I use this plugin for all of my landing pages and coming soon pages. I guarantee it will work for you.
Don't try to use post or other pages as a substitute for landing pages or coming soon page. Landing pages and coming soon pages are designed specifically to get a response from your visitors. They are designed to build your email list and make sales.S
Coming soon pages are best used for collecting emails while you are getting ready to showcase your new business. You should have a narrowly focused message on your coming soon page. You want to speak directly to your audience. Sometimes there can be a tendency to try and keep the message broad on a coming soon page. This is a mistake.
When you drive the right traffic to your coming soon page and have the right message, you will get higher conversions.
If you try to serve to many people with the message on your coming soon page, you will end up serving no one.
You also want to make sure you include a sign-up form on your coming soon page. This is extremely important. You will spend a lot of time driving traffic to your coming soon page, but the reality is, many visitors will leave and never come back. This is not because they are all not interested. Rather, they will not return because they will forget about you. Your coming soon page is the prefect place to capture their email address and keep the conversation going. You will be able to remind them of your business periodiacally so that you stay fresh in their mind.
Coming soon pages can also be used to quickly validate an idea. For instance, you believe that a book idea you have will sell well. Instead of writing the book, creating a full website, and marketing the book; you can start with a coming soon page and see what kind of responses you get.
Or lets say you want to offer a new service...you can quickly setup a coming soon page and share it with everyone you know.
The Advanced version makes it easy for you to collect emails on your landing pages with Aweber, Mailchimp, or any other email list management software including GetResponse and Constant Contact. The Advanced plugin also gives you the ability to turn off the default form for any landing page. You can then add a custom form to your landing pages or you can leave the create a landing page without a form. Examples of landing pages without forms are sales pages and webinar pages.
You can build video landing pages and coming soon pages with the Ultimate Landing Page and Coming Soon Page plugin. Putting a Video on a landing page or coming soon page is good for helping get your message accross clearly. The best way to build a video landing page or coming soon page is to host the video on a video hosting site like youtube.com. Then embed the video in your landing page or coming soon page.
A coming soon page can help you start a conversation with visitors to your website before you have site completely ready.
Build contest landing pages with the Ultimate Landing Page Advanced plugin. A great way to get new subscribers it to setup a giveaway and then make a landing page to send all of the interested traffic. Advertise the contest landing page on social media, your website, forums, and to your existing list. Give an extra incentive on the landing page for subscribers that refer traffic to the contest landing page.
Once you choose the winner for the giveaway, you can email all the subscribers and run another giveaway.
No marketing plan is complete without a sales funnel. Ultimate Landing Page Advanced gives you the tools to create entire sales funnels. You can create an unlimited amount of landing pages. Each of your landing pages can be designed to meet the specific need you have in your sales funnel. Place your lead magnet offer on a squeeze page. Then create a landing page for your subscribers to download the offer. Next create landing pages to use as sales pages, webinars, upsells, downsells, etc... You can create simple 2 step funnels or super complex funnels with the landing page plugin.
Sometimes you need to tweak your landing pages and coming soon page a little bit. With the Ultimate Landing Page and Coming Soon Page Advanced plugin you can add custom css and javascript to each landing page and coming soon page.
If you need to add javascript, just drop your code into the custom code box and it will be added to your landing page or coming soon page.
Requires: 3.0 or higher

|We are a fun running club in the Boston-metro area. We offer coached workouts each week and year round. Our workouts are perfect for everybody, regardless of age, experience or ability. Our core membership is made up of "middle-to-back of the pack" runners who run for fun, fitness, and often for a good cause. We are also a USATF registered club.
Our Workouts
MondaysPeople start showing at 7pm at on the ground floor, south side, of the Johnson Athletic Center. At 7:15pm, we head outdoors(!) for an easy 1.7-mile warmup run, so layer appropriately! We then head upstairs to the indoor track and then split into two groups. Coach Ellen works with the 5K and 10K runners while Coach Brian works with the half- and full marathon runners.
WednesdaysJust like on Mondays, people start showing at 7pm at on the ground floor, south side, of the Johnson Athletic Center. At 7:15pm, we head outdoors(!) for an easy 1.7-mile warmup run, so layer appropriately! We then head upstairs to the indoor track. Coach Mike designs his workouts to be a good complement to Monday's workouts.
"Am I too slow?"No. Trust us. We get that question a lot, and starting from the Coaches and the Board on down, Community Running is very clear on its mission: we are here for the runners you find at the back of the pack in races. If you can run two miles, you're absolutely ready to join us. If you're not quite there yet, no problem -- just drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll get you there. It's common that CR is the first time people have ever done a track workout, and sometimes people need a few weeks before they can do a full workout -- for instance, our current club president took 4-6 weeks before he could do a full workout when he first showed up.
How Do I Join? What do I need to know?It's really easy to join.
Then, just show up! We recommend people show up dressed to run (layer appropriately for weather) and bring your own water (there are no nearby drinking fountains). If you need to change, there are bathrooms available in the nearby buildings.When you show up, please introduce yourself! Our members come and go as their schedules allow, so we may not spot a new face in the crowd. For people new to doing track workouts, we have a guide to track etiquette. If you have questions, just ask! If you're coming by T, get off at either the Kendall or Central stops on the Red Line. If you're coming by car, you can park anywhere along Vassar St. If you're lucky, you can get a parking spot across the street from the outdoor track, but you may need to head further west to find a spot. Parking is free after 6pm.
[1] Note: we're flexible on membership costs, so if you need more time to decide, or if money is unusually tight, please talk to any Board member or send email to email@example.com. We don't want money to be a barrier to people joining us.
Core principlesWhile we encourage everyone to come to our workouts to get a sense of who we are, sometimes it helps to have things written out. To that end, the Board has forumlated these core principles that encapsulate the spirit of Community Running. The Board uses these principles to help guide its decision-making when it considers proposals regarding activities that Community Running has not previously engaged in.
Anti-Harassment PolicyCommunity Running has Anti Harassment Policy that we take seriously. If you have any questions about it or need to file a report, please contact a Board member.
Swag!We are selling off our current inventory of t-shirts for $20, but we're starting to run out of popular sizes. Our preferred source for swag is our Zazzle storefront.
C25K ProgramWe also help mentor totally new runners. Never run before? Can't run a mile? Not a problem. Everyone has to start somewhere, and many of our members started with the Couch-To-5K Program (C25K). Our New Runners Program is for new runners looking for support and camaraderie.
New runners are ultimately responsible for their own running, but it sure helps to have a support network -- for instance, a community of runners! On Monday nights, one CR member will work with all the new runners to help people get started, answer questions, and generally be available to help out. As always, our coaches can answer your questions in detail either before or after the workout.
If running a 1.6 mile warmup loop doesn't sound daunting, you should just jump into our workouts. But if you haven't built up to running a full mile yet, then you should join our C25K program. When you show up, just let people know you're here for the C25K program -- we don't want to accidentally send you out on the warmup loop!

We're not exactly certain of the date on this photo of Binion's Auto Sales at the intersection of Highway 190 and North College Street in Killeen, Texas, which we came across over on Annualmobiles, but given the number of muscle and pony cars that Binion's had on the lot, we're guessing it might have been after the first gas crunch of the 1970s. What do you see here, and what would you drive off the Binion's lot if you had the chance?
Ooh, a picture from my hometown!!
Don't remember when Binion's shut down the used car lot (went to Ellison High School with Tiffany, the daughter) ,but the location was until last year or so, the site of a tire store. (the used car building was repaced by a larger stone-facaded extension of the steel building that was eventuallyt built behind it).
This is the northeast corner of the intersection–College peters out south of Business US 190 (also known as Veterans Memorial Boulevard or VMB to the newer locals. Most still call it 190, even though the bypass went in south in '74).
Fort Hood soldiers provided the bulk of the customer base for the local used car lots (and still do to this day!), so the inventories tended towards muscle cars back then. My picks would be the '67 GTO in the second row or the '65-6 Mustang fastback to its left
Photo was probably scanned from one of Killeen High School's yearbooks. I'll check this weekend at the library to see what year it was done (some businesses reused their ad photos over a period of time, while others felt compelled to do new ones every year. Jack Duncan Olds-GMC had a new photo every year.).
My research was completed. Here's what I found:
I was right about THIS photo appearing in the Killeen High School yearbooks (annuals), but only for two years–the 1970 and 1971 books. Apparently, Binion's didn't buy ads in other years…which didn't matter, as it/they were in a DIFFERENT location in those years!
The 1970 ad also thanks a construction company, so one can presume that the company built the office in the photo in 1969/1970. According to the Killeen Public Library's collection of old phone directories, Binion's first appears in 1967 or '68 at a different location, moved to the lot in the photo, then apparently moved BACK by '72, then hit a couple of other locations (including a SECOND lot at the same time!) before shutting its doors sometime in '81 or '82.
Had my notes ready on Tuesday, but this photo entry disappeared from the Blog page yesterday, and I wound up leaving my notes at home today…
I was stationed at Ft. Hood 8/72 – 6/73. Gas was 17¢ a gallon. I had a Bugeye; cost me 90¢ to fill up.
Hello, is this the Mr. Fletcher Taft from CMRC in nh? How are you old friend. I am planning on writing a book and looking up and researching old friends. I see you are into model, remote control sailboats. I did not know you history being at ft. Hood. But I am not surprised. Send me a note and maybe we can plan to get together sometime. But please don't try and drive through deep snow in some old land rover!
This photo, and 99% of the other photos at my blog are from high school yearbooks.
Quite a few cars that could be quite popular collectors today. My eye is pulled toward the Vista Roof wagon, either an Olds Vista Cruiser or Buick Sport Wagon.
Crown, I think its an Olds, only by judging what I can see of the front fender. Id take either one–Buick OR Olds.
Some guys have a commitment problem. The fender did not help me much and when I look at the headlights, through the Mustang glass, just adds to my confusion, so I will defer to your observation.
Back row–third from the left; I'll take the `64-5 Olds Cutlass Vista Cruiser wagon! (Yes, I'll pass on the `67 Goat next to it.)
I guess it's pretty easy to ignore the 1963 Valiant on the back row with all the muscle cars up front.
Just think of how many Valiants you could buy for what the muscle cars would go for.
Since I don't see any Studes or Corvairs in this photo, I'll take either (or both!) of the station wagons or the Valiant. Next to the Valiant is what looks like a 1962 Chevy Bel Air hardtop. That would be one of my possible choices, too.
That was another one I was sitting on the fence on. The angle and lighting make the back panel and taillights look like a 1962, but the lower body crease appears to be from a 1964. I never thought I could confuse a1962 & 1964 Chevy. I am leaning toward 1964.
What do you think?
1962 Bel Air:
1964 Biscayne:
To the left of the Valiant is a '64 Chevy. To the right is the '62 Bel Air hardtop. BTW. I just noticed that the Valiant is a station wagon, which raises its value in my eyes.
Fitting right in with Jason's research, the newest vehicle I see is a '69 Mustang hardtop. I really like how it and the slightly earlier car to its right are plainer models, and not GTs or Mach 1s. Similarly, what looks like a '68 Chevelle in the front row is not an SS. I'd take anything on that lot that had two doors and three pedals.
Nice work, Jason. I was thinking '70 or '71, because that Mustang is definitely the newest car on the lot, and back then lots of people traded in their cars every year or two,with a majority by year three. I believe auto loans were usually three years back then, too.
Crown Coupe '64 – definitely a '62 – you can just make out the "v" crease on the rear panel (the one they tried to re-create a few years ago with unfortunate results) and the tip off is the roof shape – the '64 2-door hardtops had the fake convertible top with pressed "bow" marks and a wide c-pillar. Think it's a Bel Air, could be a Biscayne.
you guy's are missing the falcon ranchero back there. one of the 'stang's for me.
Crown Coupe '64 – I stand corrected – blew up the photo and that is definitely a '64 2-door sedan. Was fooled by the shadows, too 😉
I'll take the '65 Chevy wagon.
It's a '64 Chevy wagon.
To the right of the '64 …
The left as you look at it, to the right if you were sitting in the '64.
You have better eyes than I do. I can't definitely say that car is a '65 Chevy, but I will take your word on it.
This lot reminds me of The House of Hardtops, in Lodi California where I bought my first car, a '68 Impala. Lots of pretty street iron.
So, if you go to the Google Maps present day location, you will find a very nice Blue '68 Mustang Convert in the picture. Ya think it's one they never sold? How Ironic !!!!!!
The oldest car in the photo is only barely visible in the bottom right corner: a '56 Chevy.
I was given 5 complimentary buffet coupons that look more like business cards and a little bigger then most business cards.
These were from Binion's HORSESHOE Casino downtown Las Vegas and dated May 7th, 1995
Home of the world series of poker. I remembered I worked for a Ben Binion at a car lot in Killeen and just for fun I looked up his name.
Now I am confused because the Ben Binion or rather Benny Binion that comes up was about a head of a Mob since the 50's but had killed several people before and after that time.
This Benny Binion does look like the guy I worked for but I have yet to find his photo when he was at the car lot but I am still doing the research. I too was stationed at Fort Hood in 74-75. I must have worked at the car lot in the late 70's because someone on here said the car lot closed in the early 80's.
I had bought 3 really cool cars from Binions while I was stationed there. I was a 62B20 in the army and was trying to become a heavy equipment mechanic and operator so when I got out I could be my uncles mechanic in his gippo logging outfit.
I was 8th engineers 1st Calvary, (Cav.) Division.
The first car I bought from Ben Binion was a take over payments style that Ben helped me get started, what with being just married with my first child on the way cash down payments was nearly impossible for me to come up with.
He was going to reposes a 1966 Ford Galaxy four door sedan. That wasn't really sought after in that time period but I would give my arm for that car now. Believe it or not it must have gotten 30 miles to the gallon and that was a V-8 under the hood. I got a convalescent leave once and drove my wife from Fort Hood to Galvaston and back on one tank of gas. I don't remember how fat that was but I was impressed with it.
The transmission belts started slipping so I decided to trade it in for a 1968 Dodge Coronet. It wasn't then very popular but now it would bring a good chunk of change.
I got bored with it pretty fast and again decided to trade it in but this time I picked out a 69 Plymouth Satellite that had had a 3/4 cam dropped in to it and that car would pull the front tires off the ground from a stand still. That certain car in the same condition today as it was back then would bring in somewhere in the neighborhood of $80,000 grand. Maybe more. You can get an idea by looking at the ones sold on eBay. My car was cherried out.
The torque on take off twisted 3 lug nuts off one of the back tires, and two on the other side.
There was a King Cobra sticker on one of the side windows. I never did find out what that stood for if anything.
I pretty much talked my share and better get off here.
Let me ask you folks if the Ben Binion at the car lot was indeed the same Ben Binion head of the mob, in Vegas I think is what the article read. Drop me an email if you know anything. The car lot would have made a great cover and the Vegas Binion did go to prison for 5 years for Tax evasion in Leven Worth Federal prison.
It's odd that he got prison time for not paying his taxes but they never could get him convicted for the 3 murders he committed. Probably because the men he killed were part of the mob too but his competition.
I look forward to hearing from who ever can tell me about my little mystery. Happy Holiday Season
purchased a used 1965 corvette from them, latter found out it had been in a flood near Houston

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
25:17 mercy seat. Lit. the "atonement covering," a place at which estranged parties were reconciled. "Atonement" is the normal English translation for the Hebrew root that means "to wipe away" or perhaps "to cover" the guilt of sin from God's eyes so that believers may be reconciled with God. Propitiation (i.e., turning away divine wrath and satisfying the claims of divine justice) is effected by blood sacrifice in the Old Testament (Lev. 17:11). This shedding of blood dramatizes the cost of forgiveness, and points forward to the sacrificial death of Christ on the Cross, where the symbolism of the Day of Atonement was fulfilled. Paul declares that Jesus has been made the propitiation for our sins (Rom. 3:25; cf. 1 John 2:2).
The "mercy seat" was the ark cover, which is sometimes mentioned in distinction from the ark as the place where God was propitiated. In the Septuagint (the Greek Old Testament), the Greek term for "mercy seat" (hilasterion) lit. means "place of propitiation" (also in Heb. 9:5).

The latest perspectives on data, sales, and customer success
Why You Should Send One-Click Email Surveys
Every company wants to be asking customers how they can improve their products and deliver a better customer experience. This feedback is often collected through telephone calls, focus groups, or conference workshops. From our experience, the most common approach is a digital survey, where a customer receives an email asking them to fill out a long website-based feedback form. Read More
Introducing our Email Templates for 1:1 Marketing Offers
At Canopy Labs, we work with businesses of all sizes to power 1:1 product recommendations in emails and websites. The revenue and customer engagement benefits of personalization are clear – and the more you personalize, the greater the impact that personalization will have on your business.
Why It's Time To Start Planning For Black Friday
Summer is well underway, and many businesses are beginning to promote Back-to-School sales. For marketers, now is the time to start planning for Black Friday and your marketing campaigns for the 2015 holiday season.
Black Friday continues to grow in popularity, with 2014 eCommerce revenue growing another 26% to reach $1.5 billion in the U.S. alone. Many of the businesses we work with generate nearly 50% of their annual revenue during the Thanksgiving weekend.
Introducing our Guide to Cohort Analysis
Marketers know that customer retention plays an important role in fostering customer loyalty and revenue growth. After all, if you are losing a large chunk of the customers you bring in every month, then your hard-earned customer acquisition efforts are being siphoned away by churn.
But how do you know if your recent marketing and retention campaigns are performing well? In aggregate, top-line metrics such as customer growth or total revenue tell you very little about your individual customers, and can even hide recent successes – or problems – in your acquisition or retention efforts. Are newer customers acting in a similar way as our customers have in the past? Do these new customers spend as much as past customers? How much are they likely to spend in their first year?
Vegas.com grows revenue per e-mail by 28% through personalized travel offers

The Future of Marketing Personalization: A Review
The future of marketing automation, personalization, and other B2C marketing strategies is top of mind for many marketers today. Consumers are inundated with abandoned cart e-mails, product recommendations, personalized pricing based on their segments, and more. With so many diverse strategies, the "marketing technology stack" is also getting more complex and harder to manage. More and more marketing professionals are asking how personalization is set to change, and how it will affect their day-to-day work. Today, we're sharing a few insights that help shed light on the future of marketing automation, personalization, and customer analytics.

What is a 360-Degree Customer View?
One of the most common challenges we come across when talking to businesses is the need for a unified profile of each customer. A 360-degree view of your customers affords you the ability to respond to, and optimize for, each customer's context and journey. Building this view can come with technical challenges, but the investment often leads to happier customers, more frequent purchases, and ultimately more revenue for your B2C business.

Every Business Should Send Triggered Emails. Here's Why
Marketing automation has become an increasingly critical part of every organization's digital strategy. From sending post-purchase surveys to abandoned cart emails, customers now expect helpful reminders with timing and content that's personalized for them. Triggered emails based on certain actions or behaviors are the key to offering personalized and thoughtful customer service without putting more work on the marketer's plate. What's more, they represent easy opportunities to generate additional revenue and build brand loyalty in every one of your customer interactions.
Here are six reasons why every business should be sending triggered emails: Read More

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
For a book whose title sounds like an affirmation of faith but whose story is about an atheist refuting the existence of God, reading 36 Arguments is a surprisingly spiritual experience. What if mankind, with our huge brains and highly developed abilities to reason, could evolve a moral philosophy that makes life both comprehensible and livable without falling back on the outside influence of God? That is the idea addressed in Rebecca Newberger Goldstein's highly enjoyable novel.
Many reviews laud the wit and entertainment Goldstein provides but, honestly, the breadth and depth of ideas covered require close and thoughtful reading. Only occasionally a page-turner, the book's longish philosophical and intellectual passages did not whiz by for me. I found I needed a quiet place to read and plenty of time to reflect on my own ideas about life as I made my way through the story.

Samsung Internet@TV AceTrax app hands-on
AceTrax has arrived on Samsung's Internet@TV portal and brings with it 1000 DVD-quality movies to rent or buy; all are instantly accessible through the manufacturer's connected TV user interface and streamed via the Internet.
And, excitingly, they are to be joined at some time in the near future by HD and 3D content.
Video streaming is not new to Internet@TV, with BBC iPlayer and Lovefilm both having made their mark on the platform. However, unlike the Lovefilm application, you don't have to subscribe to AceTrax - this is a strictly pay as you play video-on-demand service.
And it costs nothing to sign up. Better still, at the moment, when you activate your account for the first time, either online by computer or through the TV app itself, you're credited with £3.49 - enough for a latest release rental.
Astute Samsung TV owners will have noticed that, after a system and firmware update, the AceTrax app actually appeared on the application user interface on 17 November. But, the company is keen to stress that it was only a soft launch in that instance, and that the real action starts now. After all, a VoD service is only as good as the content it offers, and it is only now that there is a plentiful supply of titles to watch.
That's not to say that all of them are rentable though. Due to some studio-enforced constraints, a few of the titles are available to buy only (and, indeed, some solely for rental), but there are many that offer both options, and the prices are reasonable either way; between £1.99 and £3.49 for rental, £3.49 to £10.99 to buy.
Pocket-lint has also been assured that, eventually, every movie (or TV show) that's accessible via the PC version of the service (at www.acetrax.com) will also be so on Internet@TV.
And that will include HD and 3D content too. It has long been thought that it is the state of the UK's broadband infrastructure that has prevented high definition movies hitting TV streaming services. Not so, says AceTrax: "The studios completely control everything", Leslie Golding, CMO of the company exclusively tells Pocket-lint. "Like with 5.1 audio, it's down to the studios. It's whatever they deliver us. If they want to deliver us high quality HD or 3D in future..."
Certainly, AceTrax is ready for a change of policy at studio-level, and anticipates that it could be sooner rather than later: "We've already had the price list come through, so it's going to be a pound more for each one. A pound more for HD and a pound more [on top] for 3D".
Also, it must be said that the standard definition image quality is above what we expect from a digital video streaming service anyway: "This is using, literally, the latest VC-1 codecs", says Golding. "Even BBC iPlayer is using last year's technologies".
And it's immediate, or as near as damn it. After the rent or buy buttons are clicked, the title is ready for viewing instantly, although that doesn't mean you have to. A rented movie can be started anytime within 30 days, and once started for the first time, can be watched as many times as you like within 24 hours. A bought movie is, obviously, available whenever you like - even though it's stored in the cloud.
Another (pleasant) surprise comes with trailers. Every film has one, and they are also immediately accessible. The surprise comes with their quality. They only appear in a small box, but they are pin sharp and superbly rendered, even if the movie has aged. In fact, some trailers, such as the one for the Clint Eastwood vehicle Firefox, are as much fun as the film itself. And you don't need to commit to purchasing anything to watch the trailers.
One word of warning to parents with small children, though, all of the trailers are available without the need to input a pin number - that is only required during log in and purchasing - so if you don't want little Johnny watching clips of 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, albeit tame ones, don't give them run of the remote.
It's a minor niggle though, and easily outweighed by the new app's convenience and the fact that you don't have to spend any money with it if you don't want to.
Perhaps its strongest facet, though, is that there is no obligation to rent or buy. Just a growing compulsion to do so when you see what it's capable of.

07 August 2016Terrible check in
Kapellskar to Paldiski with DFDS LISCO
No information about check in which was in a barracks house with no signs. Rude person who did not even explain where it was so had to drive around to try and find it.

25 August 2014Easy too book on internet, but...
Paldiski to Kapellskar with DFDS LISCO
It was fast and easy to book this trip on the internet, but when we arrived to Paldiski it was difficult to find from where the ferry will go. The signs along the road were not good at all to direct us to the ferry. We did not book a cabin due to high price. 60 Euro for 10 hours on small cabin is far too much, so we did not sleep that night. Tax free shop is also very high priced. We used this ferry because there was no other possibilities that day.
Review by PN, Couple.
07 July 2014well
Karlshamn to Klaipeda with DFDS LISCO
Hi, The most unexpected drawback for me were the reclining seats. I am a little over 180 cm tall and it was a struggle for me to fit my feet between the seat in front of me. Luckily nobody was sitting in front and the seat was not lowered for sleeping purposes. Since there was someone sitting behind me, I did not dare to lower my seat. Well, because of that I honestly had close to no sleep actually. I have sailed several times to Sweden and Finland before (not DFDS ships) but for similar price I had at least a bed in the shared cabin. So I can not agree with the current pricing completely. The breakfast was good enough, for the price asked at least, but I did not find the choice of salads to my liking. I only found one mixed salad to try and it was a rather sour tasting (red), most likely Lithuanian national, but I would have preferred any caesar or waldorf formula instead. P.S. I was on that route/ship first time and I could not find the entrance to the reclining seats room at first since those are not marked on the maps of the deck. Anyway, it all was ok in total, except the extremes of reclining seat issues. I might consider ships from Stockholm next time since sleeping before driving further is essential =) Best Regards, J.M. email@example.com

Klaipeda to Sassnitz with DFDS LISCO
The buffets in the restaurant were pretty good - something for everyone. Also all the other facilities, with a major exception, were quite good. Alone the sleeping chairs are a real disaster since it is almost impossible to take a nap on them. Many people preferred even the floor or took a chance somewhere else. A pity.

rocks for a 55gal
so i have this 55 gal that i plan on putting african cichlids in. i want to have a wall of rocks with plenty of places for the fish to hide and swim through. is there a certain way i need to stack the rocks. do i really need to put anything under the rocks to protect the tank, or will the tank be able to handle all the weight.
thanks in advance
That's cool,
what kind of rocks are you putting in there?
I would say that if the are on top of some gravel you are good to go unless you are putting in an amazing amount of rocks...
Some people silicone their rocks together so they will be more stable but this prevents you from rearranging them as easily... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Write an eBook
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 CAD
- Total Bids 25
Project Description
I need to develop an ebook that promotes a website called www.workwestkootenay.ca. The ebook needs to talk about the benefits of living in rural communities in the beautiful, natural surroundings of British Columbia, Canada. We are trying to attract younger workers to live and work in our region. We want to share the idea of Work Hard, Live Easy, Find Your Balance by coming to our region. We are trying to attract and retain young people as an economic development strategy.
The general idea of what we are trying to accomplish can be summed up in a rural research report found at this link: [url removed, login to view]
A list of what people who choose to live and work in rural areas are looking for can be found on page 3 of the above document. There are some duplicates between the two documents, but there are 13 separate items that need to be addressed. There should be lots of pictures in the document that are quite eye-catching. They don't have to be specific to our area, but they do have to be relevant to the subject matter and they must appear to be in terrain from the Rocky Mountain region of Canada.
The document will be used as a giveaway for an email capture program. In other words, fill in your name and email address and you will get this great ebook.
I need about 20 pages, with each page devoted to one benefit of living/working in rural British Columbia, Canada along with the intro and summary.
The title needs to be compelling and it needs to speak to something these young workers want and then the content must deliver on the promise of the title.
An example might be: 130 ways to live easy in the beautiful West Kootenays (it could be ten ideas for each of the 13 benefits).Get free quotes for a project like this

Please fix it!
It was very good. However, suddenly I cant make calls using cellular data. I am afraid to use local numbers because once I was charged by my carrier for international calls. In addition, sometimes the conversation repeats itself jus as someone has complained. If this problem is fixed I will give 5 starts and continue to use the app. Other than that it used to my best app.
Amazing app
long time user, love the app. I've been a long time customer of KeKu and have been using their app for a few years now. It seems to me like they actually listen to their customers and keep improving the app based on it. It is much more user friendly and the voice quality is nothing to mess around with. The prices are also more than fair, definitely recommended!!
It's a mess
Don't get it! Can't even sign in for reasons I don't know of. 😒

This course covers the essential elements of SCADA systems with particular emphasis on the DNP3 protocol, with an overview of the IEC 60870.5 and IEC 61850 protocols as well as new developments in this area.
The course commences with a review of the fundamentals of SCADA systems hardware, software and the communications systems that connect the outstations to the SCADA Master control station. The R S-232 and RS-485 interface standards are reviewed, along with MODBUS, Ethernet and TCP/IP protocols. The application of both Local Area and Wide Area networks for SCADA system communications is also covered. A detailed explanation of the DNP3 protocol is given, where the features, message structure, practical benefits and applications are discussed. The course is intended to be product independent but examples will be taken from existing products to ensure that all aspects of the DNP3 protocols are covered.
Examples are given of the configuration issues for DNP3 operation over both low speed serial (e.g., Radio links) and high speed LAN and WAN networks. An overview of the IEC 60870.5 and IEC 61850 protocols and their areas of application is given as well as new developments in this area. The application of Fieldbus protocols in SCADA systems is also covered. This course provides you with the tools to design your next SCADA system more effectively using DNP3 to draw on the latest technologies.

This review is from: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition DirectX 11 100351VXSR 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Pros: Where to start?
- Fastest single GPU on the market (besides Titan, which for $1000 doesn't count :-p)
- Great cooling
- Very VERY quiet (even at 100%)
- Very fast
- Awesome overclocks! (YMMV of course)
- Even minor overclocks dramatically improve performance
Cons: Nothing negative to say about the actual hardware.
AMD's drivers are getting better by the day but I have had a few issues here and there with a couple games that I didn't with my old Nvidia GTX 580. Nothing in particular, just, if Nvidia were 100% I'd say AMD is like 90-95% when it comes to drivers.
Another negative, which is true with all the 7970 GPU's and not just this card is that overclocks are very temperamental based on the temperature. My overclocks (1200/1800) are rock solid stable below 70C. Once I hit 71-72C though the card crashes. So no problems as long as your card stays cool (which it will with the awesome Dual-X cooler) it's just something I've noticed. My GTX 580 didn't care about temps when it came to overclocking. AAs long as the 580 didn't reach like 90-100C the overclock was ALWAYS stable. Don't really know why the 7970's are like this, but they are.
Just some things to keep in mind. Nothing really a negative per se, just thought them worthy of being pointed out.
Definitely hella-happy with my 7970 though and wouldn't trade it for anything!
Other Thoughts: Have it overclocked to 1200mhz on the core at 1.225v and 1800mhz on the RAM. All while running MAX at 65-68C. 100% fan speed to support this speed but the fans are SO quiet, especially compared to the stock reference cooler on my other 7970. Night and day difference.
To touch up on one of my positive points though is the frames per second boost overclocking brings. From stock speeds (950mhz) to even a modest (should be achievable with any 7970 Dual-X) 1100mhz my frame rates jump from like ~60 frames per second to like ~75 frames per second. Even my GTX 580 overclocked something like 200mhz+ on the core never brought such dramatic differences like this. Truly is amazing in every sense.
Well that's about it. I'd say if you are looking for 7970 this is the one to get. Spectacular cooling, great price, and more importantly amazing game performance! With a 7970 you can literally run anything!

Pros: Decent stand/base...strong and easily adjustable.
Built in USB hub.
That's about it as far as pros go.
1 star earned.
Cons: Horrible picture quality. Much worse than some of the cheaper monitors I've used.
Very muted colors...none of them pop or look good.
Contrast ratio/black levels are non-existent...definitely not for movie watching or playing games. Black appears to be a more dark, light bleeding purple than anything.
Viewing angles? What viewing angles? Seriously though, anything other than viewing it head on dead center produces a bad picture.
However, it DOES work and could possibly be decent for maybe office work? It is not recommended though that you subject your employees, friends, or family to this monitor.
Monitor works as in it produces an image. 1 star.
Other Thoughts: Over all I'm only giving it two stars. One because the stand is nice and the USB hub is a nice addition. Second star is because the monitor actually works.
Three stars deducted from 5 star rating due to picture quality.
This review is from: ASRock Z77E-ITX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Pros: What isn't to like about this board? Great build, awesome features...just has everything you could need (and should expect) from a motherboard like this.
Has plentiful ports on the back, more USB than I know what to do with. Plenty of ports on the inside from SATA3, mini-PCI Express, mSATA, front panel pins, etc...truly has everything a normal sized motherboard has minus the size (and a few extra expansion slots, but...).
Overclocking is SUPER simple and just as easy and carefree as my high-end Z68 ATX motherboard. BIOS is easy to use and very extensive. Truly an enthusiast class motherboard!
Other than that it just works too. I've had zero issues to speak of.
Just as good as that OTHER Z77 enthusiast Mini-ITX motherboard that costs 5-6 Hamiltons more...
Asrock, thank you for such a wonderful product!
Cons: None.
I mean this literally. From the hardware itself to the actual software supplied this motherboard is 100% solid, stable, and awesome all around.
Could not be any more satisfied...just not possible.
Well, I guess one con would be that its too perfect :-P
Other Thoughts: System Specs:
Asrock Z77E-ITX
2500k @ 4.5Ghz with Corsair H70 dual 120mm fan
Gigabyte GTX 580 WindForce @ 975Mhz
GEIL 2x4GB DDR3-1866Mhz

100% Load Temps (average after 6 hours - 72F Ambient):
Over all extremely happy with my build, especially the size and speed.
COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT have built this had it not been for the high-end features and overclockability of the Asrock Z77E-ITX motherboard!
Truly a great piece of hardware and has definitely made me a fan of Asrock (this and the 4CoreDual-SATA2 I owned)!
