The plastic macbooks do not disperse heat through the case the same way the aluminum MBPs do. As such, the bottom of the Macbook has more concentrated heat, whereas heat is distributed across the bottom of the MBP.
Nothing to be too concerned about. the hardware integrity is not compromised.
I was reading reviews of the MacBook Pro 13" less-expensive version, and several of the people who owned it said that it gets extremely hot on the bottom. No similar complaints for the higher-priced one. Does anyone here know about that? It was not just a couple of people, but quite a few.
I'd really like to know whether this is a widespread problem or just the bad luck of some MacBook Pro 13" owners. If it's very common, I think I'll just go with the pricier one, but I haven't decided yet.

Reviews for this vacation guesthouse rental in Venice Beach, California

Our Beach Retreat
May 2, 2016
We really enjoyed our stay in Venice. The fabulous location puts you 1/2 block to sand, surf, sunsets and the always entertaining Venice boardwalk. Abbott Kinney and Main Street are steps away for shopping, food trucks and a night cap or two. This rental puts you close to some of the best coffee shops and restaurants around! You can get almost everything you need in a short walk. The home is on two levels above the parking area and consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a decent sized kitchen, a modest living and dining area and a roof top deck with great ocean views. We called it the cocktail lounge. The extra bonus is parking for two cars and Shawn, the wonderful host. Shawn was very quick to reply with any questions or concerns we had. We spent three months in this rental and would definitely come back for another round:)
Great vacation!

We had an amazing week and the house is very nice. We had 8 people staying in the house so it was a little small for us but we were able to make use of. The couch and blow up mattress. They did not have enough towels and bedding to accommodate all of us but they were very quick to supply us with extras after we requested them. It was nice being to have a fully stocked kitchen to cook in, so we didn't have to spend too much on eating out. Mike was very quick to respond to any emails and questions. We will definitely come back!
Beautiful house just one block from the beach.

Beautiful house just one block from the beach.
June 12, 2014
The house was surprisingly large, airy and modern. The bathrooms were beautiful and had the most plush sinks and showers. The kitchen was large and very convenient. Best of all, we took our dogs and there were two separate yards for them to play in. Both yards were completely private and safe. One yard had a brand new firepit which we used a lot, and the other yard had a small table and chairs plus a jacuzzi. The house had 3 nice-sized bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths which was perfect for us. Also, there was a washer and dryer area. Michelle, the owner was very nice and always answered her phone when I needed something. I was glad we got to meet her before we left. We were running a little late checking out and she had come to start cleaning. I like it when the owners clean the house themselves because then I know it is done with care. Like the previous reviewers, parking was a little tough at nights but we always managed to find a spot a block or two away. During hte day there was no problem. I liked the location (tons of fun stuff to do in Long Beach) but we preferred to swim in Huntington which was only about 15 minutes away. Overall it was a great experience and we will definitely stay there again.

text:
Disclaimer: all the advice given in this article comes from my own opinions and play style. A one size fits all style of army composition only works to a certain extent. This guide is meant to help people new to the faction prioritize their purchase selections. The models are selected based on their overall performance in steamroller settings.
- First Purchases:
Your first purchase should be the battle box. pMorghoul is one of our top tier casters, and a very fun caster to play. The Titan Gladiator will be in 90% of your lists, Speed 4 heavies rely on rush to actually make them a threat in the game. While Savages don't make a lot of lists, they are still valid options, especially in Steamroller formats.
The battle box is $49.99, buying the models separately costs $83.96. You are essentially getting two Cyclops Savages for $4.01 with the purchase of the battle box.
- Second Purchases:
Bronzeback Titan: This is the best non-character beast in the game. If you want things dead, this is the Titan that can do it best. I own two, and frequently double them up in lists, especially with pMorghoul. I'd only recommend buying one to start with though until you get a better feel for your own play style.
Molik Karn: offensive and versatile, he doesn't kill things as well as the Bronzeback, but he brings a different dimension to the game. His threat ranges can be insanely huge, he provides fate walker to himself and the caster, which allow hit and run tactics, and he dictates how far up the field your opponent will run their caster. He also dies fairly easily; Molik Karn requires practice to figure out how to best use him, he's not the auto win that some players claim, but he is definitely a game changing beast in the right list.
- Third Purchases:
Paingiver Beast Handlers: now that you have your beasts, let's make them better and add in fury management. I am addicted to this unit; they make it into 95% of my lists. For the majority of your lists, you'll be running a minimum unit.
Chataphract incindiarii: until this unit came out, we had a very hard time removing high defense infantry models off the table. Gone are the days of slamming our own heavies across iron fleshed Kayazy Assassins. This unit was very much needed in our faction, and the first offensive unit you should buy.
Agonizer: this is the staple Skorne denial piece. This little two point model can be game changing, no arc node, no animi, -2 str, no allocating, can be devastating to your opponents. Buy this guy and run him in every list, until you master him.
- Fourth Purchases:
For single wound units I would recommend buying one of the three; Nihilators, Pretorian Swordsmen with UA, or Pretorian Keltarii. They are all good and each of them brings something a bit different to the table.
Aptimus Marketh: probably the best Caster attachment in hordes. Spell Slave is golden, ask any Cryx player, plus we can upkeep spells if Marketh has soul tokens on him. Of all the models I've suggested so far, this is the guy I use the least. He makes about 40% of my lists, but in the lists I do take him, he plays an extremely crucial role.
- Fifth Purchases:
Cyclops Shaman: this guy allows our armies to be more versatile. He has a pow 12 range 10 ghost shot attack, two inch reach on his melee weapon, can get rid of upkeeps on friendly models, can extend our casters spell ranges by two inches, and can cast the animus of friendly beasts within seven inches of him.
- Sixth Purchases:
Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew: The perfect one point filler. Thoughtful placement of 5 inch clouds can be a great help in almost any game.
Let's take a look at where we are at. We can make a very competitive 35 pt list using what we have.
Master Tormentor Morghoul
Bronzeback Titan
Molik Karn
Titan Gladiator
Aptimus Marketh
Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 3 Grunts)
Nihilators (Leader and 9 Grunts)
This list is all about taking advantage of Abuse and Admonition. pMorghoul also has one of skornes best feats, it will take a bit of trial and error to figure out the most ideal time to use it. Add in an agonizer and you have two turns of no focus for jacks, this can really shut down collosals.
(While Karn works very well with pMorghoul, I prefer double Bronzebacks, Tibbers is another solid option with him. As you acquire more heavies, experiment and see what matches your playstyle.)
What we buy next is going to be dictated by what other casters we are going to play. Skorne has a lot of fun casters that can play very different games (one of the big appeals that brought me into this faction).
The easiest thing for us to do now is to purchase casters that can best utilize the models we currently own.
But wait, you say, I don't want to play just any of Skorne's casters, I want to play the competitive ones. In Skorne we don't have overly powerful casters, instead we have a lot of solid casters. This means that we have to be the better player to win tourneys, we can't rely on bringing the better lists. There is good and bad to this. The bad = we don't see very much Skorne at the higher competitive events. The good = playing Skorne forces you to be a better player, and at tournaments you don't see the same two or three casters over and over, like you do in other factions.
So, what are Skorne's most competitive casters? Here is how I would rank them (just a friendly reminder of the disclaimer at the beginning of this thread).
Tier 1: pMorghoul, eMakeda, Xerxis, eHexeris, pMakeda, Rasheth
Tier 1.5: pZaal (the Immortal UA may bump him up to Tier 1), Mordikaar (probably our best caster vs Cryx), eZaal
Tier 2: eXerxis, Naaresh, 3Makada
Tier 3: pHexeris, eMorghoul (hit squad does raise him a bit)
Now, taking a look at our competitive casters, which ones can best utilize the models we already own? pMorghoul, eMakeda, eHexeris, pMakeda, and to some extent Mordikaar.
While I truly Love Xerxis and Zaal, they require completely different models, so I'll cover them last.
eMakeda: this caster is a delivery system. She's the reason the Karn bullet exists. Leash, road to war, and rush gives Karn an 18" initial contact range. When you add in Side Step, that increases the threat to 22 inches. Add her feat into this equation, and you have a 22 inch threat, with 7 boasted pow 15 weapon master attacks, while being immune to free strikes. Just the threat of this will dictate how your opponent plays against you. She has more depth than the Karn bullet, though that's what she's most famous for, and if you want to get really good at her, you will need to spend the time getting to know all her nuances. She's also one of the few casters I would take Swordsmen over Nihilators. Being able to clear a lane and sidestep out of the way can be game changing.
Here is a competitive 35 point list for her, using what we now have.
Supreme Archdomina Makeda
Bronzeback Titan
Molik Karn
Titan Gladiator
Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 5 Grunts)
Pretorian Swordsmen with UA
This is the same list as pMorghoul, but plays very differently. Your goal here is to quickly deliver one of your heavies to their caster. I generally look for a turn two caster kill, but if your opponent is playing defensive you may have to wait until turn 3 to win. =)
eHexeris: this caster offers our faction something we have struggled with in the past, high defense infantry removal. In the past, Skorne could get bogged down against mass infantry, now with this caster we have the ability to clear infantry off the table in droves. We'll need to change our list slightly to accommodate his specific abilities, most notable the ability to have one beast used as an Arc Node. For 35 points I'd recommend the Razor Worm.
We also add in the Extoler Soulward; this allows eHexy to arch spells onto stealthed models.
Lord Arbiter Hexeris
Cyclops Shaman
Razorworm (bonded)
Bronzeback Titan
Titan Gladiator
Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 3 Grunts)
Pretorian Swordsmen with UA
Extoler Soulward
Xerxis: Our premier attrition caster, what makes him better than our other attrition casters, is that he also has a very strong end game. He likes to be towards the front of the battle, pressing himself and his army further and further into your opponent. He plays the classic brick and does it better than anyone else, with denial pieces like the Agonizer and Midwinter for support. Xerxis is tricky to play at the 35 pt level; he really shines at 50+
We add several new models to the Xerxis list. The most important addition is the full unit of Cataphract Cetrati, if you don't plan on playing Xerxis then you can probably skip the Cetrati. We also add both Basilisk, the Krea is there to raise def and arm on the approach, and then to lower enemy def once engaged, and the Drake is there to help handle infantry swarms, as Xerxis can get bogged down by mass infantry.
Here is a solid Xerxis list:
Tyrant Xerxis
Basilisk Drake
Basilisk Krea
Bronzeback Titan
Titan Gladiator
Aptimus Marketh
Cataphract Cetrati (Leader and 5 Grunts)
Nihilators (Leader and 9 Grunts)
Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 3 Grunts)
Orin Midwinter, Rogue Inquisitor
Defenders ward will start on the Nihilators, and then can move to where needed, turn 4 and after you should have DW on Xerxis, as he will be in the middle of the board. The Krea uses her animus, and Xerxis casts it also, to give a hard range counter on the approach. The Gladiator, Bronzeback, and Drake need to run to the sides of the Cetrati, since they will get in the way of Martial Discipline. The agonizer and Midwinter stay in the middle of the board, right behind the Cetrati wall. Marketh is there to cycle Fury, to recast DW or to allow Xerxis the fury to cast Inhospitable Ground.

(Mail Today): Murali Kartik has made a living out of being an attacking left-arm spinner, but feels each bowler in the Twenty20 format has to be smart about his strategy.
"In Twenty20, we get to play in postage stamp-sized grounds and as a bowler, you know that the batsmen will come hard at you every ball.
On flat tracks, there is the strategy of trying to buy a wicket (give away a few runs and let the batsman make a mistake), but that's just not possible in this format. You have to minimise the damage and thus it becomes very important to realise what ball to bowl when and to whom," Kartik, who plays for the Pune Warriors India, told Mail Today.
The former India Test cricketer is glad that the Sahara group-owned franchise possesses a strong bowling lineup, which has been key to its success this season.
"The quality we have in our ranks is tremendous, especially the Indian bowlers like (Ashish) Nehra, (Ashoke) Dinda and Rahul (Sharma).
And then we have Alfonso Thomas, who I've played with at (English county) Somerset and whom I believe to be the best fast bowler in this format.
Picking the right attack from among all these guys is a good problem to have," he said.
Kartik says the difference between the Pune side last year, when they finished ninth, and this one is down to the role of Sourav Ganguly.
"We always had a good team, and we have only managed to get better with the players we bought after the auction (which Sahara decided to skip owing to its spat with the BCCI). But the difference is in the ideas, with Sourav in charge this year, because he really knows how to build a collection of players into a 'team'. He's the one man in charge, being captain and mentor, and like in the past with the Indian team, he's been brilliant," Kartik said.
Asked what he thought was different in this year's IPL than the last, Kartik said: "Of course, last year there was the World Cup, and India winning it was just a high that nothing could match up to.
But I believe the biggest difference is in the quality of the teams, which seems to have evened up a lot. I think the disbandment of Kochi Tuskers has had a major part to play because those players have gotten absorbed elsewhere."
Pune played Delhi Daredevils twice in the space of three days and despite the mixed results, Kartik said he was glad he probably didn't have to play them again, unless the teams meet in the play-offs.
"Their batting line-up is just scary. You wonder what they will be like at full strength, with David Warner coming in a while.
"Aside from the power hitters, they also have a meethi chhuri in Mahela Jayawardene, who will calmly go about his business, won't thump you, but can hurt you badly," the 35-year-old said.

Stories @CSI: Purpose Capital puts capital where it matters
By Lisa Ferguson, CSI Reporter
Imagine having the opportunity to help define and build a new type of market. It's not yet clear who the key players are going to be. You get to create some of the first research, first products and first deals. You get to shape the future.
Assaf Weisz, Norm Tasevski and Karim Harji each had central positions within Canada's social entrepreneurship community—Assaf as the founder of the Young Social Entrepreneurs of Canada network, Norm as a social entrepreneur-in-residence with Social Innovation Generation (SiG), and Karim as senior manager for partnerships and social impact at Social Capital Partners—and each could see that lack of capital was crippling many social ventures. The three teamed up in 2010 to form Venture Deli, connecting investors and social ventures as part of the emerging impact investment market.
"We did some really original work around where social finance and impact investment are and where they need to go," Assaf says. But Venture Deli wasn't going to be satisfied just doing research. "We wanted to be able to act on that, actually get some deals done." Purpose Capital began with this intention as a subsidiary business line, and eventually grew to encompass the team's entire business scope.
Sean Holt, the head of US-based merchant banking firm Om Ventures and an expert in negotiating and structuring transactions, had been exploring similar thinking and making similar deals. Deciding to bring the best of their two ventures together, the four joined to co-create Purpose Capital based at CSI Annex with a new vision of re-defining and diversifying the size, stage, risk-level and type of capital that was considered impact investing.
On a day-to-day basis, Purpose Capital works with entrepreneurs, investors and governments with the ambitious goal of channelling as much capital as possible into endeavours that matter to the world. This can range from organization-specific financing to more elaborate initiatives to build the market itself. For example, the team is currently working on an innovative project to infuse social entrepreneurship into the Canadian university system, a strategy meant to increase the pipeline of social ventures available to impact investors.
Assaf is a proponent of innovating in new spaces rather than accepting the limitations of already established systems. "One of the coolest things about waking up and doing this every day," says Assaf, "is that we get a chance to actually get something right rather than coming along and trying to play a broken game. We get to influence the perspective on how social change happens or how you participate in it."
Assaf believes impact investment is being constrained by the way it has been conceived. As Assaf explains, "Where it's been placed so far is as largely early-stage investments, and that is usually the highest-risk part of someone's portfolio, which means it's often the smallest part." As a result, much of the available capital of people who care about investing with purpose remains untapped.
The key to unlocking the rest of that capital, and moving it "from oil and gas to things that matter to the world," Assaf says, is offering various products to appeal to different risk profiles. To that end, Purpose Capital focuses on diverse issues and opportunities for impact, including: education, to create the next generation of leaders; health innovation, to address what is both an enormous social issue and an enormous economic issue; tech for impact, to meet pressing social needs using emerging technologies; aboriginal prosperity, to create sustainable, resilience-creating economic development opportunities in aboriginal communities; and the bio economy (e.g., sustainable food and agriculture, clean tech and renewable energies), which Assaf says is "about getting our relationship to the environment right, and getting commerce's relationship to the environment right."
"I think often people can be self-limiting," Assaf says. "I think we can afford to be a little more ambitious and a little more risk-taking."
When it comes to making the world a better place, after all, the cost of failure far outweighs the price of success. Better to invest for people, planet and profit!

Stillness. Sharp, dry air pierces my throat.
There is no calm in this silence. No relief,
Rain of clouds will never come again.
Endless days, (can you call them days?
Wear my clothes, take the life out of my breath.
Black clouds of earth cover my head
From the red sun that lights my life,
Red as Hell, the only light
I shall ever see again.
My husband gave the last of his crops to this world,
To this possessed life. Our food was our sacrifice.
And yet God continues my life, but
Is this really a life? A life where children
Know no smiles? No sky?
My daughter cries, the only raindrops
I shall ever see again.
Blackness covers everything,
Stealing the little light I have held on to.
A monster howls outside
And drags its claws against our land.
I cover my child's ears; they hold a cloth to their mouth.
And their raindrops fall, the only raindrops
I shall ever see again.

About FASTRACK
FASTRACK is a subway maintenance, cleaning, and repair program that shuts down segments of a subway line for several hours over consecutive weeknights, allowing our employees to perform a number of critical maintenance jobs. The line shutdown approach has proven successful in that, under normal conditions in our 24/7 system, the scope and breadth of this important work would be impossible to accomplish with customers and trains moving through work areas. Thus far, since FASTRACK began in 2012, the results have had a positive impact on service with a reduction in train delays and a decrease in the number of track fires, while realizing cost efficiencies and a lower accident rate for employees.
FASTRACK tasks typically include:

... around. Well if you know Cathy and I well, you know we've taken warnings to heart and have been scrupulously prudent about not leaving any food, not even the smallest crumb, lying about. In fact, we only eat outside on balcony and clean every utensil and plate to within an inch of its life. :) Good news, no insects found inside during our entire stay.
This Is The Start
... years have past since then, now an adult with an intermediate income and a commitment to seeing more of our home planet, I've saved up long and hard to travel on a Contiki tour through Europe to see so many places I've only dreamed of seeing. My tour ends in London where I'm planning to live for 6 or more months (depending on how it all goes).
My tour begins 2 months from now and goes:
- London (UK) - Amsterdam (Netherlands) - Berlin ...
Blue sea, green grass, white waves and red rocks..
... have done a great job of managing the traffic and parking facilities along the beachfront – the parking is all among trees and set back from the beach so that when you are actually on the beach, you can only see bush most of the time. There is also a great boardwalk built into the steep hillside at the end of the beach – very impressive indeed and we were glad that we went.
Later that day after picking up the camper, we drove on down to ...
A short walk but not a stroll.
... about a 1000 feet above our location. This trek involved a very hard slog up a steep and badly rutted track with lots of false summits which gave you hope it was over, only to see another steep slope when you reached it. I think Jan may have been having a religious experience as she muttered quite a few OMGs! as I sometimes had to help and drag her up the hill.
Unfortunately for one of group , she fell and skinned her nose, this took about 10 mins to clean ...
Birthday parties and beach days
... crew together, we hit up Emerald beach. We stopped and grabbed some sea food and hot chips and found a shady spot under a tree. Micha and I went boogie boarding and enjoyed the water. Everyone was having a great time and enjoying the weather and each other's company. I love my little Australia family, they make me feel right at home ...

In Waning Winter, An 'Above Par' Snow-Kayaking Adventure
With snow cover stubbornly lingering and whitewater kayaking season still more than a month away, what's an impatient paddler to do? Easy: Snow-kayaking.
In May 2000, Michael P. Utley, then a 48-year-old stockbroker, was playing in a charity golf tournament at the Pocasset Golf Course on Cape Cod when a storm alert sounded, ordering everybody to seek shelter immediately.
Fifteen seconds later Utley lie sprawled on the green, his shoes blown off, fingers and toes singed, and his hair completely burned – one of hundreds of people struck by lightning in the United States every year.
Technically, Utley was one of the dozens killed because doctors initially pronounced him dead, but they managed to revive him. Utley then spent 38 days in Brigham & Women s Hospital's Intensive Care Unit and another three months and another three months at the Health/South rehabilitation in Braintree, Mass.
Today, more than 11 years later, Utley still bears the physical and emotional scars of the strike, but can't recall specific details.
"I have no memory of being hit," he said in a telephone interview the other day.
The incident did more than leave scars, though – it motivated Utley to educate the public about the dangers of lightning, and a decade ago he helped create the website struckbylightning.org that keeps statistics on injuries and deaths caused by electrical storms, and also as an unofficial support group of sorts for victims.
His best advice is a simple message: "There is no safe place outdoors in a thunderstorm."
I should have heeded Utley's words only minutes before I called him.
A friend and I were finishing a 10-mile kayak outing on Rangeley Lake in Maine on Thursday when a dark cloud appeared over Bald Mountain on the western shore.
"I think we can beat it," I said, realizing we had only about half a mile to go.
Thirty seconds later a squall veered toward us and torrential rain pounded down. We sprinted for shore and were just pulling our boats up when a deafening crash followed a blinding flash. We ditched the kayaks and sprinted for the cabin as more bolts hurtled down.
I told Utley about our close call.
"You were lucky," he said, and I agreed.
At one time authorities suggested people had plenty of time to seek shelter at the first signs of a storm, but Utley said that has promoted a false sense of security.
The narrative on his website explains the evolution of a new, more cautious approach to lightning safety:
In 2001 or so, NOAA started a lightning safety group that contained
the best people in the country on lightning and lightning safety. We
had people form Kennedy Space Center, University of Ohio, Vaisala, (a
private company in lightning detection), NOAA, and the National
Weather Service. I was invited into the group and learned a lot over
the years I was with them. It is because of this group that lightning
safety evolved from what it was to something based on science and what
worked. It was a hard job convincing groups that almost everything
they knew about lightning safety was wrong. Which, by the way is still
the problem.
"The first big move towards a committed front was the 30-30 Rule. If
you see lightning, you start counting, if you hear thunder within 30
seconds, the lightning is closer than 10 miles away and you should be
in a safe place, and stay there for 30 minutes," Utley said.
However, that rule has been bent and misinterpreted, so people started thinking they simply had to get to a safe place if they heard thunder.
"We realized that a
lightning bolt can easily be more than 10 miles long, so it became a
better idea to go inside and count. So the 30-30 Rule, which was
widely pushed and grabbed on to by every group that needed a lightning
safety program, was fast becoming outdated and even dangerous. If you
go to almost any organizations safety web site from NOAA, FEMA, and
many private groups, you will find it is still there," he said.
Utley said the safety team tried coming up with a slogan – similar to
"stop, drop, and roll" that teaches youngsters what to do if their clothes catch fire. One lightning expert, Bill Roeder, devised, "When thunder
roars, go indoors," which struckbylightning.org copyrighted in 2003.
Utley repeats that phrase whenever he visits school groups and makes public appearances. He is a man on a mission, and I give him enormous credit for his passion and dedication.
Utley also encourages people with statistics and stories about lightning to get in touch with him through the website.
He hears from people all around the world and send out emails whenever there's new information or updated casualty data. In 2012, for instance, 212 people in the United States were struck by lightning, 28 fatally. So far this year, 16 have been killed and 191 struck.
All of us who venture into the great outdoors have been caught in storms. Sometimes there's not much you can do – such as when you're hiking above tree line or kayaking far from shore. As always, check the weather reports before heading out, and try to have a "Plan B" in place in the event of a storm.
I hope none of us winds up on Utley's website, and am happy to help spread his word.
Stay safe and remember: "When thunder
roars, go indoors,"

Sleep with the enemy
Stop fighting environmentalists and embrace them because its good for the planet and business. The challenge for the chemical industry is to win support in the court of public opinion before building or expansion plans run into trouble. And the key to that lies in a companys willingness to understand the complex and sometimes conflicting motives of opposition groups and to communicate effectively to all constituencies.
The chemical industry should stop fighting environmentalists and instead embrace them. Before you turn the page in disgust, let me explain why this is good for the planet and good for business.
The days when a responsibly run company could build or expand more or less where and when it wanted ended at least a decade ago. There are exceptions, of course, but its getting more difficult for the chemical industry to operate in the partial vacuum of the past. Now, every step of every project is getting tougher. Companies often face oversight by hostile self-appointed watchdogs. That, on top of government regulation, can make doing business more expensive than necessary.
Im no foe of government oversight. And, if were to be honest, some in the industry need to do a better job of cleaning up their processes. Nevertheless, like you, Ive seen well-meaning but ill-informed groups organize against good ideas from good companies. Its these un-elected and reflexively hostile activist groups, not the government, that throw up the most roadblocks to production.
The range of objections is legion, e.g., potential water and air pollution, increased truck traffic, loss of open space, pressure on water supplies, and general chemophobia. Moreover, enemies of chemical plants even plants run by companies sensitive to local worries have become very good at running organized, sometimes well-funded campaigns.
Clearly, business moves faster and less expensively without conflict and opposition. And opposition, as we know, too often leads to court challenges, resulting in delays and ballooning project cost. The challenge for the industry, therefore, is to win support in the court of public opinion before building or expansion plans run into trouble. And the key to that lies in a companys willingness to understand the complex and sometimes conflicting motives of opposition groups and to communicate effectively to all constituencies.
Forestalling fights
Disagreements need not escalate into protests or lawsuits. To borrow from cold war language, theres a real need to start a permanent workable détente between the industry and its most vocal detractors.
Through my work for and with industry and environmentalists, Ive seen greater cooperation between camps in the timber, construction and retail sectors. Ive seen the relationship between companies and environmental groups change from outright hostility to something like grudging acceptance of each others positions. They might never get to the altar, but theyre starting to realize the need to work together.
Not so with the chemical industry, where both sides are so deeply entrenched in policy, practice and distrust theres very little communication. Fortunately, it neednt be this way. I see an opportunity to ease the tension and make it easier for chemical companies to maintain high standards and profitability while at the same time decreasing the likelihood that misunderstandings will lead to protests and the courts.
Heres why. First, more people in their 40s and 50s are now leading the industry. Theyre part of a generation that, regardless of political affiliation, is inclined to consider environmental concerns in business decisions as long as they make economic sense. These executives have things in common with todays environmental leaders and can speak more or less the same language. Ill bet some of them even went to Woodstock.
Second, the environmental movement, or at least part of it, has grown up. I see that reflected in the leadership of large, responsible and rational groups. Some leaders of these groups believe, as I do, that their ideals are sound but some of their ideas dont work in the real world. A new and less rigid generation of environmentalists understands the needs of business, believes in market-based solutions, and is willing to compromise to get results.
Third, chemical industry executives are learning that a growing number of Americans prefer dealing with companies having good environmental records.
Finally, the larger and more successful conservation groups are eager to praise businesses for good environmental practices. At least one of the largest groups, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), has spent its own money on advertising to help spread the word about responsive companies. When Home Depot, after some not-so-gentle pressure from environmentalists, decided to sell so-called certified lumber in its stores, NRDC paid for full-page ads in The New York Times applauding the move. Similarly, NRDC paid to advertise that a California-based timber company was moving to have its forests certified as sustainable by an independent outside authority.
Dont forget, however, that local or national groups will still line up against a project they either dont like or very often dont understand. Remember, too, that some of these groups can bring unfavorable national attention to companies they perceive as being environmentally irresponsible. This kind of attention can hurt stock price, employee morale and local community relations.
Tips and traps
Someday Ill get around to putting my experiences into a book about relations between the business community and environmental activists. Meanwhile, here are steps to take that will make working with environmentalists easier as well as some pitfalls to avoid.
Long-time activists know when theyre being snowed, and if they sense that your company isnt serious then youve lost any chance for constructive engagement and all but invited an organized opposition campaign. So, be prepared to make operational changes. That doesnt mean putting the corporation at a disadvantage in the market, but it does mean accepting some degree of rational change.
Some corporations have found that middle management personnel can be the biggest hurdle in accepting the need for environmental change and putting these changes into place even in cases when the new processes save money. Again, this is where working with established forward-thinking groups pays off. Environmentalists accustomed to dealing with the private sector can help develop plans that make good financial sense.

- Project Details
Title The development of strategical individual competencies in the context of European integration
Project Number LT/06/B/F/PP-171003
Year 2006
Project Type Pilot Project, project with multiplying effect (2000-2006)
Status completed
Country LT-Lithuania
Marketing Text Project products are very urgent in the level of strategical management in enterprises. Products have been evaluated very positively and are ONLINE for your disposal in www.sicdevelopment.org
Summary While integrating into multicultural market of European labour force, with different systems of learning and education, different traditions in the sphere of human resource management, the success of human resources first of all depends on strategical competencies of individuals. Strategical individual competencies can be defined as the whole of knowledge, skills, abilities and ways of working an employee has to master, no matter what position he takes in organization. As Geolyse Pty.Ltd Corporate Development Manager A. Ward shows (foresight; Volume: 6 Issue: 2; 2004), the research conducted by famous Danish scientist A. Drejer ( The Learning Organization, Volume 7, Number 4, 2000) traditionally education system is orientated to the formation of professional competencies, named as " tough "; whereas the attention to the " soft" competences ( personal, social, emotional) is not significant. . Thus the latter competences are specially relevant to the rapidly changing business world and provides conditions for business development. Though different models of competencies exist (Plum, Schoonover, Lominger and etc.), but their practical appliance is orientated to the demand of particular companies, while directive development of strategical competencies must be started already in the primary steps of employee training, i.e. in the process of studies, by forming strategically significant competencies. This has determined the change of the competencies paradigm from human resources assessment to human resources Development conception, where is seeking not only to evaluate present situation, but to develop strategically perspective competencies. The development of strategical individual competencies involves the catalogue of these competencies and their development methodology, which is not limited to organization, sector or country, because fast processes of euro integration, complementary structure of business links, and dynamism of markets require strategic guidelines for the development of united strategical individual competencies.
Tasks of the project:
• To carry out a scientific research in 8 countries identifying the strategical competencies.
• With reference to the results of research to prepare the catalogue of European strategical individual competencies.
• To prepare the methodology of strategical competencies of individuals.
The application of Project products is universal. There are possible different directions of application:
• Universities and educational institutions – including this methodology to their programs and modules will give an opportunity already in the process of studying for future managers and specialists to familiarize with the methodology and to find out their development directions of strategical individual competencies.
• Consulting centers, business companies – assimilating the methodology will give an opportunity to evaluate strategical individual competencies of present employees in order to orient to the changes of future competencies and to prepare a plan of employees' strategical individual competencies purposive development.
• Freelance - seeking to integrate into market of European labour force will be able individually to identify the development directions of strategical individual competencies and to develop them purposefully.

The kind you see in front of stores to let you know what your buying. He also knows Madison is way out of his league. Madison has done a few changes since we last saw her she had her tits done and they look great! they're massive and amazing. So check out this episode, you might learn a thing or two about her...

The Venice International Film Festival announced it will present actor Al Pacino with its prestigious Glory to the Filmmaker Award at the upcoming 68th annual event, August 31 through September 10.
The honor will be bestowed on September 4 to "an artist who has left an original mark on contemporary cinema," as part of the Biennale di Venezia.
Festival director Marco Mueller described Pacino in a statement as "an amazing director, whose experience is precious and original, and enriches the world of contemporary film."
The ceremony will occur prior to the world premiere of the actor's third film, Wilde Salome, which he directed. " Wilde Salome is an exploration into the world of Oscar Wilde the artist and in Salome," said Pacino.
Wilde Salome stars Pacino as Herod and Jessica Chastain (the upcoming Tree of Life) as Salome. It will be released this autumn.
Pacino's body of film works include the role of Michael Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, as well as Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Scarface, Heat, Glengarry Glen Ross, and Scent of a Woman, for which he won an Oscar for Best Actor.
Pacino also performs on the theatrical stage, having recently received a Tony Award nomination for the Broadway production of Shakespeare's
The Merchant of Venice.

Ryan Eggold is kind of a d**k.
Hey, he said it first, and who am I to argue with one of the unsung stars of The CW's 90210? But before you write him off, let's just say that being a d**k may not be a bad thing.
On Monday night at an exclusive 90210 party, journalists and the show's stars pack themselves into Los Angeles' cosy Kokomo Cafe, which has been converted into The Peach Pit. Fried buffalo mozzarella, Ahi tuna on crackers and special Wilson burgers (named in honor of the main characters) circulate as reporters vie to get that all-important spoiler or fascinating makeup tip from the buffed and beautified stars.
All except for Eggold. Oh, he's in demand, but he's not spiffing himself up. In jeans, t-shirt, plaid flannel and scruffy beard, his appearance screams regular (albeit attractive) dude. Nevertheless, he's very forthcoming about everything.
His self-proclaimed d**kery:
– "I kind of am a d**k. I don't care a lot about how you're supposed to act. Not the most [proper] fellow. Here in Los Angeles, there's a lot of pretension in the industry, as you well know. Who wants to be around all that stuff?"
– "I punch small children in the face whenever I feel like it. I'm a douche. What's up? That's awful. I break into old women's homes and flash them all the time. That's just a little charity. That's wrong."
Tori Spelling's return as Donna:
"The reason she comes back is because of Stroup's character [Silver] because it's her sister-in-law."
His character's return as a teacher at West Beverly Hills High after trumped up charges got him suspended:
(Need the details? Check Zap2it's 90210 recaps)
– "He comes back questioning the meaning of it all and is wondering what he's doing with his life. He's 24 and he's teaching and he doesn't know if he wants to teach anymore. He attempts to resolve that. Some soul-searching and blah, blah, blah."
– "He comes back into that sort of bad vibes, people thinking that he's a child molester or whatever. So that's his priority to him to sort of clean up his reputation. But then, he also doesn't care what people think of him."
The many discarded plot ideas for his character:
– "If you dealt with a teacher and a student [romance] honestly, it would be really exciting, but that would result in my [character's] dismissal most likely so … maybe when I'm done with the show, that's how I'll go out. Of course, that's what they set up in the pilot, but they never touched it."
– As Harry Wilson and Tracy Clark's long-lost lovechild: "They were going to do that. Yeah."
– "This character has been a series of possibilities that they have declined for various reasons. They were going to make me Shannen Doherty's baby daddy. They were going to make her pregnant. They didn't do that because of reasons I can't say." (What a tease! He is a d**k.)
What he'd like his character's future to be:
– "Him kind of unwinding in the sense that he's this teacher, so he's expected to have it together and the kids look up to him. To see him falling apart would be very interesting, to see him struggling, to hold it together in his personal life while having to present this authoritative face to school.
– If his character had secret life: "He'd probably be going having sex with older women everywhere. No, he'd probably be on a motorcycle in the middle of nowhere. That's what I'd like to imagine him doing."
Two of his favorite TV shows:
– "Oz, that s**t is so good. Oh my God, the performances are just right on the money. Just good, good, good acting. F**king good acting. And the writing was sharp because it was always saying something, and it was always looking at human nature and commenting on it. Always these interesting monologues. Every episode had this sort of fable, but a really adult way. Great old-school theater actors and lots of diversity. I was obsessed with that show."
– "I loved Saved by the Bell. Phenomenally addicted I was to that show. Tiffani Amber Thiessen in any context but Saved by the Bell is gross. There it is. I'm a d**k. She's just slutty and gross. As Kelly Kapowski, she's the best girl ever, and you want to marry her. I'm going to get hate mail from Tiffani Amber Thiessen now: 'Eggold, you're dead, mother–.'"
What else he does besides acting:
– Working on a comedy feature, Lunchers, he co-wrote with Adam Rose about two dudes who love to lunch and have unrealistic views of themselves. Aiming for a two-week shoot during his hiatus in March.
– Painting his new place – "I've gotten Spartan Stone and an Eggshell in the bathroom, a very nice green. I've got Greenwich Beige in the living room. It's delightful. I've got Behr, Ralph Lauren, I got the works."
– Fooling the tabloids with a false romance – "I'm dating Dustin Milligan on 90210. Very happy. I call him Dusty. He's very tender, a very tender lover."
– Doing a mean impersonation of Jonah, from Summer Heights High.
What would you like to see Eggold's character Mr. Matthews get into when he returns? Do you think his character has untapped potential plot-wise?

Vlingo vs DX voice command
Here is my or should I say my girl's problem. She setup Vlingo on her phone but when she paired her bluetooth the popup asked her if she wants it to default to Vlingo Car, Vlingo or System Voice(I think that what its called). She selected System voice command and that voice command sucks soo bad, because as some of you know it never gets the number or command right. She would like to reset to Vlingo car. Does anyone kow how to do just that without a factory reset? Im not familiar with X's. Thanks for any responses..

Re: Vlingo vs DX voice command
Try going into settings<applications<manage applications<all<system voice(or should be called voice search) and clear defaults. That will reset the default option for voice commands.
