Voice Picking software is one of the latest technologies to gain popularity in the warehouse. The clear advantage that voice picking offers is providing a hands free option to the person working in the warehouse, boosting his or her productivity.
Here's how voice picking works... There are four main components to R-Voice:
1. Hardware – a wireless terminal is worn by the user, usually in a belt pack, with a headset and boom microphone attached to the terminal. There are a variety of hardware configurations available to fit your warehouse needs.
2. Voice Speaker – software "speaks" commands and instructions to the user via the headset. This ability to speak commands and access data through a voice that is easy to understand is the key to eliminating paper pick lists or wireless RF terminals, providing a hands free solution to allow the employee to perform the work required.
3. Voice recognition – a separate part of the voice picking application "listens" to the user's voice as he or she confirms data. The user normally reads a check digit from a location or pallet to confirm he has found the correct item, then confirms the quantity being picked. A variety of commands are used for adjustments or other problems that may occur.
4. Voice server – the main application that coordinates work with the WMS and handles efficient interaction with the voice terminals.
What Are The Benefits of Voice Picking Software?
R-Voice improves warehouse productivity and worker safety!
R-Voice users report accuracy that is equal to or better than what is achieved with wireless RF and bar code solutions and much higher than paper picking. Warehouse productivity gains of 15% to 25% can be realized.
In addition to productivity gains, people on the floor are working in a safer environment. As operators are able to work in a 'heads-up, hands-free' manner, R-Voice users are experiencing an improved safety environment when compared to the 'heads-down, hands-occupied' situation when an operator is reading a RF screen or a sheet of paper.

European Parliament's plenary debate and a resolution on Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia and situation in Crimea

Members of the EP Mrs Julie Ward, Mrs Marju Lauristin, Mr Tomáš Zdechovský and Mr Tunne Kelam have addressed in a joint letter the Commission for the Control of Interpol's Files (CCF) and Secretary General of Interpol concerning the abuse of international arrest warrants by Kazakhstani authorities.
The Legal Affairs Committee of the PACE has adopted a resolution urging to end the abuse of INTERPOL's Red Notices by authoritarian states! The documents includes practically all of our (and other civil society actors) recommendations and refers directly to our latest report on the matter.
Zhanbolat Mamay refused to give 'self-incriminating testimony' on the case of BTA Bank. After that he was beaten in detention centre and was threatened with reprisal. Zhanbolat Mamay has become yet another victim of the criminal case against the opposition politician Mukhtar Ablyazov.
Between 14 and 16 February, 2017, a delegation of the Open Dialog Foundation was present at a plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The aim of the visit was to discuss the current human rights, political and economic situation in Kazakhstan.
On February 11, 2017, chief editor of the opposition newspaper 'Tribuna', Zhanbolat Mamay, was arrested. The Kazakhstani authorities have labelled him a 'member of Mukhtar Ablyazov's criminal group'. The charges against the journalist are based on the testimony of the refugee Zhaksylyk Zharimbetov,.
France recognised the political nature of the prosecution of Mukhtar Ablyazov, a longtime opponent of Nursultan Nazarbayev. The need to obtain 'additional testimonies' against Ablyazov led to the intensification of a 'hunt' for former top managers of BTA Bank.

Jan. 18, 2017
Final Stats | Notes | USATSI Photo Gallery
BOSTON (AP) Virginia coach Tony Bennett talked about having a 10-man group.
It only seemed like they were all on the court at the same time.
Playing only 25 minutes apiece, Devon Hall scored 13 points and Isaiah Wilkins had 11 points and nine rebounds to help No. 16 Virginia beat Boston College 71-54 on Wednesday night. The Cavaliers' bench pitched in with 33 points.
''We're really deep. Ten guys,'' Hall said. ''You play as hard as possible for every possession you're in because you've got guys coming in who can do the job.''
Darius Thompson scored 10 points off the bench, reserve Kyle Guy added eight more and Ty Jerome had five points and five assists. Three of the top five Cavaliers in minutes played and two of the top five in plus-minus were reserves as Virginia (14-3, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat BC for the fourth straight time.
''They gave us a nice lift,'' Bennett said. ''Those are times when our 10-man group helped us.''
Connor Tava scored 12 points with a season-high 11 rebounds and Jordan Chatman had 16 points for the Eagles (9-10, 2-4).
Virginia scored the first six points of the game and then, with Bennett subbing out the starters liberally, scored 15 straight points later in the first half to turn an 8-8 tie into a double-digit lead it never relinquished.
The Cavaliers added a 9-2 run at the end of the first half and, after going without a basket for the first 5 minutes of the second, rattled off 14 of 16 points to clinch it.
''That's the one thing that bothered me,'' BC coach Jim Christian said. ''I didn't think that we came out to play Virginia, a ranked team, with the energy and emotion that you need to play them.''
Virginia: The early blowout allowed the starters to rest before games against Georgia Tech, No. 15 Notre Dame and No. 1 Villanova in a nine-day span.
Boston College: After winning its first two ACC home games at home, Boston College struggled with a conference power.
After losing consecutive games to No. 20 Florida State and Pittsburgh, the Cavaliers fell to No. 16 after residing in the top 15 for 54 consecutive polls. They have a little breather before finishing off the month against the Fighting Irish and the Wildcats.
Bennett harped on the team's improvement over its last game. The Cavaliers beat Clemson 77-73, but they had 16 turnovers and gave up 42 points in the paint.
Jerome said at the next practice after Sunday's game, Bennett spent the first 5-10 minutes just working on inbounding the ball - a particular problem against the Tigers.
''Coach always talks about eliminating losing before you can win,'' Jerome said.
Virginia had just five turnovers against BC, and 22 assists on 27 baskets.
Christian said guard Jerome Robinson, the team's leading scorer with a 20-point average, got hit in the jaw and was complaining about his vision. He finished with nine points on 4-of-14 shooting, just the third time this season he was held in single digits.
''I'm not making any excuse for him. I was more concerned with his defense,'' Christian said.'' He'll come out of it. He's a good player.''
Virginia: hosts Georgia Tech on Saturday.
Boston College: hosts No. 9 North Carolina on Saturday.

Married couples who file their taxes jointly usually save more in tax than filing separate returns, because of the favorable tax brackets. You can still take advantage of this tax benefit even if you earn income as the sole proprietor of a business. Being a sole proprietor means that you didn't create a separate legal entity for the business. As a result, everything you earn is reported on your personal tax return, no distinction exists between your business and personal assets and you're personally liable for all business debts.
Schedule C Reporting
Reporting your sole proprietor income on a Schedule C is always required, even if filing jointly with your spouse. The IRS only taxes you on the net profit you earn, which is essentially all business revenue, minus any deductible business expenses. The Schedule C form is used to calculate this net profit, separate from any income your wife earns, as well as your other sources of taxable earnings.
Joint Return Implications
When preparing a joint return, it's important that each Schedule C identifies which spouse is the sole proprietor. In fact, the first line of the Schedule C form asks for the name and Social Security number of the sole proprietor, so make sure that you insert only your name and SSN. Once you compute your net profit, you transfer the amount to the "business income or (loss)" line of your joint 1040. Despite the Schedule C reporting of your sole proprietor earnings, it's ultimately added to all other income that you and your spouse earn to arrive at your taxable income number. And depending on how much other income you report, including the net profit on the joint return may be enough to push some of your income into a higher tax bracket.
Self-Employment Taxes
Sole proprietors also need to consider the self-employment tax liabilities that accrue on the net profit reported on Schedule C. If your net profit is $400 or more, you'll need to prepare a Schedule SE to calculate your self-employment tax bill. These taxes are in addition to the income tax and fund in the Social Security and Medicare programs. Moreover, married couples are liable separately for these taxes, so if your spouse is employed and pays Social Security and Medicare taxes through employer withholding, it has no impact on your own self-employment tax liability. Luckily, sole proprietors are able to deduct approximately one-half of their self-employment tax bills on their joint returns.
Calculating Joint Tax
The last step in completing a joint return is calculating the amount of tax that you and your spouse owe on your joint income. Whether you calculate your tax by hand, hire an accountant or use online tax preparation software, the underlying calculation is the same. Each tax bracket that joint filers use includes a wider range of taxable income than other filing statuses. This is beneficial because a greater percentage of your income is taxed at lower rates. So even though including your sole proprietor income with your spouse's earnings may subject your joint income to higher tax brackets, it usually saves you more money than filing separate returns.

Fargo (1996)
24 mistakes
Directed by: Joel Coen
Starring: Frances McDormand, Peter Stormare, Steve Buscemi, William H. Macy
Vote on more movies at The Big Fat List
New this month Continuity mistake: When Steve Buscemi is shot in the cheek, he touches the wound, and in the first shot there's no blood on his hand, but in the very next shot there is.
Other mistake: Look closely at the dead trooper's closed eyes. You'll notice during the length of the shot that his closed eyes move. Fast forward to make this more obvious.
Factual error: Several times during the highway scenes if you look closely you can see that some of the cars and trucks are early 90s models even though it's supposed to be 1986 or 1987.
Audio problem: When Carl is being beat up by Shep, Shep is shouting a whole bunch of obscenities and gibberish at Carl, but during several shots where we see his face, the audio is not matched up to what he is shouting.
Visible crew/equipment: When William H. Macy drives past the parking garage security guard, who has just been killed by Steve Buscemi, in the shot of Macy's car moving across the screen you can see a crew member holding equipment reflected in the car window.
Continuity mistake: During the night scene when the cop is shot, the cigarette in Peter Stormare's mouth switches between being long and nearly consumed.
Factual error: This film takes place in 1987, but when Norm Gunderson is talking to Marge about his paintings, he mentions a 29 cent stamp. 29 cent stamps weren't introduced until 1991.
Continuity mistake: When Margie and her husband have lunch in Margie's office, the bag of nightcrawlers on the table changes position several times during the scene.
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Jean is having a talk with Scotty about his grades and not wanting him to go out for hockey, the phone rings and the camera focuses on Jean and the phone. The microwave clock behind her reads 10:44. Jerry then enters the scene to talk on the phone and the shot reverts to Scotty shouting the obscenity then back to Jerry and the microwave clock now reads 7:43. The shot moves back to Scotty with him shaking his head and then back to Jerry where the microwave clock now reads 11:05.
Plot hole: When Jerry thinks the investment he has proposed to Wade will work out, he tells Shep he may not need the help of the two kidnappers he put him in touch with. Shep then tells Jerry that he only put him in touch with, and vouched for, one of the kidnappers: Gaear. He makes it very clear that he has never heard of and does not vouch for Carl Showalter. However, at the beginning of the movie, Carl specifically mentioned Shep, saying "Shep didn't tell us much..." etc.) And when Shep is told by Marge that involvement in the kidnapping/murders could put him back in Stillwater, he knows exactly where to find Carl to give him a thorough beating. When he shows up, Carl even recognizes him ("Shep, what the Hell are you doing, I'm banging that girl.") Shep obviously knew Carl, and had no reason to hide it from Jerry, as Gaear was the more dangerous of the two.
Continuity mistake: When Carl comes back from the ransom collecting and quarrels with his partner, the Esmeralda mug on the tray keeps changing position during the scene (watch the Esmeralda image and the ear of the mug).
Continuity mistake: When Margie is in Jerry's office for the second time and Jerry rushes out to "count the stock", Margie looks at his wife's photo and it seems the photo is just in front of her as she doesn't turn around. When Jerry flees and she stands up, we see the photo is just behind her, under one of the golf player statues.
Continuity mistake: When Margie visits Jerry for the first time, her scarf changes position from shot to shot.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene when Jerry talks to the two kidnappers, the beer bottles on the table keep changing their position.
Visible crew/equipment: Marge receives the call after the execution (the first call), waking her up. The camera tracks toward the bed, and its shadow is visible on the right side of the screen.
Continuity mistake: After the one guy shoots the cop, a blue Ford passes them. So the bad guy goes after them to find that the Ford flipped over. He stops then puts the Oldsmobile in reverse. Just before the car stops you can see that the taillights are from a 1989 or 1990 model. The film is set in 1986 or 1987.
Continuity mistake: When driving from Brainerd to Mpls, the bad guys are seen driving north on I35...which means they passed the cities on the drive back from Brainerd.
Continuity mistake: When the cop is shot in the head, no blood splatters onto Steve Buscemi's face, but there's blood on it in the very next shot.
Factual error: Per the opening credits, the movie is set in 1987, but when Carl leaves the airport parking garage, the billboard in front of him shows Northwest's "Bowling Shoe" livery which was not introduced until 1989.
Plot hole: At the garage, Shep says to Jerry that he does not know Carl, and doesn't vouch for Carl, only for Grimsrud. Obviously the two guys don't know each other. So, how can Carl react by shouting "Shep" when he is attacked in the bedroom by the Indian while humping the escort?

Hi, welcome to my NowSquare Landing Page Platform Review. If you have been thinking about creating landing pages for your internet marketing campaigns, you may want to take a look at this. It contains pre-designed landing pages that you can customise with your own text, images, videos, and links.
Product Name: Landing Page Platform
Owner: NowSquare
Price: $199
My Rating: Looks good but expensive
Website: https://nowsquare.com/landing-page-platform-saas
In certain situations, a well-crafted landing page is essential. If you are getting traffic through solo ads or pay per click adverts, it's best to have a dedicated page to capture leads. Of course, as with a lot of things, there's no need to reinvent what has already been invented, so it's great to be able to buy a system that will create highly converting landing pages for you.
But what about the NowSquare Landing Page Platform?
Well, on their sales page is this video:
Although that's only a short video with some cheerful music, it does give a quick overview of what the product does. But let's take a look at the rest of the sales page to see what else we can find out.
Here are the main features:
- Contains pre-made responsive templates.
- It's multi-user.
- The layout is fixed and you just customise the text, images, video, colors and links.
- User-friendly interface – drag and drop editor.
- Comes with free photos.
- Integrates with MailChimp.
- Includes statistics.
- 30+ templates included
- 100+ HTML web blocks
- 2000+ Icons
How much does it cost?
$199 one time fee – but it claims to be a full multi-user landing page business. So if you have that kind of money to invest, and you want to get a head start on creating landing pages and capturing leads, it could be worth buying. Anyway, it comes with a full 60-day money back guarantee, so if you're not happy with it, you can just get a refund.
Is NowSquare Landing Page Platform a scam?
I don't think so. Their sales page doesn't show the typical signs that a lot of scams show. It looks like a genuine product for creating great looking landing pages. I couldn't even find any evidence of upsells, so it looks like it's just the one-time fee and that's it.

4th estate proclaims 'pubs got it wrong

New York Times report suggests that neither Al-Qaeda nor any other international terrorist groups were behind the 2012 attack on the U.S.
gee how archaic of me; i thought that murder was a crime no matter who did it or what the motivation. seems Hil'ry was right; who cares, it's over, let's move on to more important things like making me the next president. |

It doesn't matter what the name of the terrorist group is, whether or not it was al-Qaeda, or some other group just isn't the point.
What does matter, is that our State Department left the compound in Benghazi unprotected. "Issa and Chaffetz say theyve been told repeatedly that the Obama administration not only repeatedly reject(ed) requests for increased security despite escalating violence, but it also systematically decreased existing security to dangerous and ineffective levels, and did so to effectuate a policy of normalization in Libya after the conclusion of its civil war. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/... The State Department refused several request's from ambassador Stevens for additional security. Clinton needs to answer a lot of questions s to why. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/benghazi-timeline... "Early August: State Dept. removes the last of three 6-man State Dept. security teams and a 16-man military SST team from Libya." Why would the State Dept. remove security teams after Ambassador Stevens had been requesting more security? If in fact Hillary does decide t run for president in 2016, you can bet she will have lot of questions to answer about this. Her "what does it matter" replies are not going to be sufficient. |
Dec 29, 2013
And yet you supported Granholm, who terrorized this state for nearly a decade with her catastrophic Marxist policies and her utter incompetence. |
"Russian ties?" Since: Mar 09 11,281 |

I supported Granholm??? Since when? |

Don't dignify the poster Jim. It's just another troll who actually knows nothing but is pretending. |

It's just the beginning of the elect Hillary propaganda.
I am starting to think China or Russia government run media is more honest than the USA. |
Dec 30, 2013
Sadly, this kind of reporting was bound to happen when the republicans failed to convince those brave NAVY SEALS to come out of hiding to testify in their special hearings.
Who would have thought that these brave men were so fearful that the republicans couldn't protect them, that the only one that would tell his story had to do so on 60 Minutes...... And he wasn't even there! We can only hope that these same inept republicans can take overwhelming control of both houses of congress in the 2014 midterm elections. Only then could they hold the hearings that will insure that Hillary will never run for president against Ted Cruz....... In the meantime, let's hope that the people who led this attack are not captured. Imagine the horror if they were tried in a court where everyone knows that their testimony could run contrary to the republican's already stated facts! |
Dec 30, 2013
Shouldn't you be at the rest stop right now? |
Dec 30, 2013
Bobbie, you off your meds again..... The O is your example for competence?
Dec 31, 2013
Your party of cowards hasn't abandoned this group for one night the way the president supposedly did, but have refused to rescue them for over a year. Are you sunshine patriots going to tell us that you don't want to risk bringing these brave NAVY SEALS forward to testify..... because you are too weak to protect them? If the Republicans weren't a bunch of useless cowards, they would have marched these men out into the public and did whatever it took to protect them and their families. How any rational person could trust them with everyday life is beyond me! |

After enjoying relatively mild winter weather through most of December, LaRue County's road department crews spread their first loads of salt, about 15 tons, Dec. 29, according to road supervisor Clyde Veirs.
I've always thought the ages of 12 to 14 were the worst in my life – no longer a child but far from being a driver's license-wielding teenager.
The LaRue County High School Speech team chalked up another successful outing at the Thelma Beeler Invitational Tournament hosted at Lafayette High School in Lexington.
The team was led to an overall second-place finish by sophomore Brian Anderson and junior Curtis Milby, both of whom scored multiple first- and second-place finishes in their events, and several other students who made final rounds.
Milby was first in humorous interpretation and sixth in broadcast announcing.
LaRue County is under a winter storm warning.
The National Weather Service has issued a warning for freezing rain and sleet which is in effect until 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Light precipitation will begin across the area later today. The intensity will pick up tonight and continue until early Wednesday.
Up to an inch of sleet or ice is forecast from west of Bowling Green to Lexington Metro.
Drivers are urged to use caution.
Among the student teachers in LaRue County schools last semester were two LaRue County High School graduates who have answered the call to teaching after working for several years in other professions.
Kentucky State Police arrested an Upton man Jan. 7 in connection to an October assault at a Cecilia Smith Mill Road residence.
Jacob M. Walker, 22, is charged with second-degree assault. He also is accused of violating felony probation.
According to a warrant, the victim went to the residence to speak to Walker. However, police said before a discussion occurred, Walker and two juveniles assaulted the man.
The LaRue County 4-H Cloverbuds will meet 3:30-4:45 p.m. Jan. 16 at the Extension Office. The Cloverbud program is for ages 5 to 8 years old or kindergarten through third grades.

October 16, 2012
Today's announcement that the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment will be just 1.7% means that millions of seniors who rely on their Social Security for the basics like fuel, groceries and medical bills will once again find their expenses far outpacing their Social Security benefit. For the average senior, this COLA will mean about a $21 monthly increase, which could mean little to no increase at all once next year's Medicare premium increases are announced.
"Seniors know all to well, their living costs often far outpace the COLA increase, yet incredibly many politicians are proposing a new formula that will erode this inflation protection even more. While they try to minimize this backdoor benefit cut, the truth is replacing the current COLA formula with the chained CPI will mean the typical 65 year-old, who filed for benefits at 62, would lose about $130 per year in benefits. By the time that senior reaches 95, the annual benefit cut will be almost $1,400, which is a 9.2 percent cut.
Given that the average senior currently receives just over $14,000 a year in Social Security, it's hard to imagine how anyone can argue the current COLA is too generous. Yet this is exactly what is being proposed in closed door meetings on Capitol Hill and on the campaign trail nationwide. I've asked seniors at town hall meetings nationwide how many think the COLA is too large -- laughter is always the response. Contrary to claims by those who hope to use Social Security benefits cuts as a bargaining chip in debt discussions, the Social Security COLA is clearly not too generous. Today's announcement is even more proof of that fact."…Max Richtman, President/CEO
The National Committee believes we should move to a COLA formula that takes a more accurate measure of seniors' expenses, which is the CPI-E. It was developed in 1982 to reflect the different spending patterns of consumers age 62 and older. The CPI-E has reflected a rate 0.3 percentage points higher than inflation as measured under the current method.
The National Committee agrees it is critical that the COLA be calculated based on an accurate formula. But if accuracy is really the goal, Congress should adopt the CPI-E which factors in the large health care expenses most seniors face. Adopting a formula that cuts already modest benefits for generations of retirees, as does the proposed chained CPI, would be devastating for millions of middle-class Americans who can not afford this back-door benefit cut of $1,400 a year.
The National Committee, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization acts in the interests of its membership through advocacy, education, services, grassroots efforts and the leadership of the Board of Directors and professional staff. The work of the National Committee is directed toward developing better-informed citizens and voters.

Ryan's Revised Healthcare Bill Even Worse Than the Original
Let us not speak of pigs and lipstick, but simply say that the freshly tweaked GOP health care bill introduced last night still socks it to older Americans. In an attempt to throw bones to both moderate Republicans and Tea Partiers, Speaker Paul Ryan has come up with a revised bill that's even worse than the original for seniors and "near seniors" (under 64 years of age).

Rating: 4/5 Cupcakes!
First off, I love this cover and I'd totally buy it in physical format just so I could stare at the cover the whole day. It's pink and white and pink and it's just so pretty! Secondly, I liked this book, a lot more than I thought I would. There were some things that prevented me from giving it a full five cupcakes, but other than that it was a story I took great pleasure in.
Paper or Plastic features Alexis Dubois, a sophomore that was recently caught shoplifting a tube of lipstick with her friend, Court. While her friend gets off free, Alexis has to work the summer at SmartMart, a local shop notorious for the hundreds of weird customers that trickle through on a daily basis. Having to deal with her pageant-obsessed mother, her ill grandmother, the possibility that she could lose her coveted position on the softball team and the fact that she's falling for her new manager - who also happens to be the school outcast and the boy who has bad blood with one of her best friends - Alexis soon learns that perhaps working at SmartMart isn't the worst thing that could happen.
I wasn't expecting to like Alexis as I get extremely mad with people who shoplift, but she grew on me. I I know her friend, Court, wanted her to steal it with her to see whether or not they'd get caught but I don't know why she went along with it, as she doesn't seem like such a stupid person. Although I couldn't quite wrap my head around that, like I said, she grew on me. She could be slightly judgmental but I believe she had everyone's best interests at heart and I also believe she flourished as a person.
What I like about Lex, is that she really cares deeply about those she's close to. When her grandma's health started deteriorating, she went out of her way to be near her grandma and to help her as much as possible, as well as spending most of her free-time with her - especially on the bad days. I really admired Lex for that as sometimes you don't want to be with a person that's sick because it pains you so much, so she definitely earned my respect due to that! I also respected how she stood up for her friends and tried to keep them happy. She knew that if she told Bryce about Noah that he'd get ferociously cross about it and that it would hurt him, so she decided to not tell him to avoid the hurt and confusion he would feel even though she knew it was risky, as if he found out from someone other than her it would make him more upset. However, she did it with good, honest intentions and I felt sorry for her when those good intentions blew up in her face.
Something I didn't like about Alexis, is that I felt she was quite judgmental about Miller, Noah's friend and that at first she seemed ungrateful for getting the chance to have theft off her record by working at SmartMart. She complained at first for having to work her summer away - which was her fault for trying to shoplift - but she accepted it and her attitude improved and her whole person improved, which was a lovely thing to see!
I liked Noah, he was charming, caring, kind, polite and hardworking. He was always good to Alexis and he was pretty much good to everybody. He has integrity and I admire that in a character. I don't understand why people shunned him for so long, though. I understand he told the principal who the culprit of the spray-painting was but I believe that's a good thing to do. Bryce was vandalising the other team's property which is wrong and I'm glad Noah did that because Bryce - and no one else - had the right to do that. I liked Noah a lot and I felt extremely sorry for him when it was revealed that all was not perfect in Noah Grayson's life and I hope they managed to sort it out properly.
The secondary characters were okay but sometimes they didn't feel as fully fleshed out to me as the main characters, but I could always discern one from the other which was a good thing! I didn't like Bryce and Court as they seemed like the kind of people who would easily turn their backs on you. Syd seemed lovely though. It would've been fabulous if the author could've let Alexis interact more with her circle of friends so I could really get to know them, as I felt I only got to know those working at SmartMart and her family quite well, and not her friends. Ruthie was a character I couldn't quite decipher. I wasn't sure if she had a learning disability or had been severely affected by her father leaving her family or if she just had a natural childlike innocence about her. She was said to be 26 but she acted like a child, so I would've liked to know if that was just her disposition or if she perhaps had a disability.
I also enjoyed the romance, when things started heating up between Alexis and Noah, I admit that my heart did in fact beat faster and I may have gotten giddily excited because Vivi Barnes is quite good at writing romantic scenes. Although I thought those scenes were very well-written, I did find some parts of the relationship seemed awkward and that they would argue about petty things (which I wanted to slap them for, at times) and the dialogue didn't always flow particularly smoothly but I enjoyed it nonetheless and like I said, the romance scenes were written well! *fans self*
I also found it interesting how pageantry and extreme couponing was featured in this book. I've seen bits of Toddlers and Tiaras and Extreme Couponing so it was quite amusing to see it in this book and see how it affected those directly involved with it!
The plot was good and so was the writing. It wasn't overly simple, it wasn't overly detailed, it was the perfect pace and writing style for a contemporary (although the dialogue didn't seem that natural at times, but it didn't alter my enjoyment levels of the story) and I was highly addicted to it. Every spare moment I got, I wanted to read it. I wanted to know how things went with Alexis and her friends, with Noah, with her grandma. I really liked Alexis' world and I loved the world the author created and I wanted to live in it. My anxiety/panic attacks have been quite bad the last few days so it was such a comfortable feeling to get completely caught up in the story and the characters and forget about the way I was feeling. So thank you for that, Vivi! x
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It had a steady pace, comfortable writing, extremely likable characters and a plot that kept me intrigued the whole way through! I didn't want the book to end as I was completely caught up with the characters and the world that Vivi Barnes so wonderfully created. The characters learned lessons on how to be better people due to their mistakes. I highly recommend this to all contemporary lovers, as its a fun, fluffy story to wholly immerse yourself in!
I give it: 4/5 CUPCAKES!

This seems like a really fun, light rainy day read. I'd probably be like you going into the book expecting not to like it that much but maybe end up actually enjoying it. I can see that happening. I'm not one for giving contemporaries a fair chance so I might just pick this one up at the library if I see it and see if it proves me wrong.
Great review! :D
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my blog! I appreciate every single comment and they always make my day. I love making new bookish friends so don't be afraid to say hi! :) x

Talk:Red Pyramid
WikiProject Architecture | (Rated Start-class, High-importance) | ||||||||||||||||
WikiProject Ancient Egypt | (Rated Start-class) | |||||||||||||||||||||
"el-haram" does not mean pyramid, it means "sanctuary". Specifically it means "forbidden", as in a place that is forbidden, but this is a common name for shrines and sanctuaries including al-Haram-al-Sharif, al-Haram al-Makki al-Sharif, etc.
If local Egyptians (perhaps the ones living closest to the pyramids?) have taken to calling these pagan burial sites by this name it seems at odds with mainstream Muslim/Arab traditions and it would be good to get a clarification here if not in the article itself.
- Indeed it does. "Haram" (Arabic: هرم) with "H" means pyramid in Arabic. What you are referring to is حرم with a fricative "H" (IPA [ħ])
Is it just me or does this pyramid not look red at all?--Lairor (talk) 02:51, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's just you. Seriously though, it is somewhat dark red-ish when compared to other pyramids. --Gene_poole (talk) 07:26, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
When was the Red Pyramid built? Rather than provide Common Era dates, the article just says that construction began in the "thirtieth year" of Sneferu's reign, which is no help, since Sneferu reigned only 24 years (circa 2613-2589 BC).Meservy (talk) 03:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
idk who it was built by but it took him 4ever!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 01:53, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Coordinate error of the red pyramid. the decimal amount and the dms amount are not equal.[edit]
The following coordinate fixes are needed for —188.8.131.52 (talk) 22:04, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- Declined — Coordinates appear to be correct. I note, however, that if you use the Google Earth "Open" link in GeoHack that it takes you to the wrong place, but if you use the "w/ meta data" link it takes you to the correct place. This is a known problem with the way Google processes some requests (in both Maps and Earth, though not consistently), not a problem with GeoHack or Wikipedia. If you'll use Wikimapia or Acme, the place will always be accurate. I've also never had the Google Earth "w/ meta data" link take me to the wrong place, but with the errors in their other apps... Best regards, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 19:51, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
The photo labeled bricks of the Red Pyramid seems to show stones. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 21:00, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Staff profiles
Dedicated and experienced
The staff at Psychic Horizons all share a committment to foster growth and change in a safe and structured environment. That committment has been made in the form of 1840 hours of training and supervised practice over a 4-year period before becoming teachers. In addition, staff members continually hone their intuitive skills through their daily participation with students and each other, and their own personal meditation practice.
Rev. Laura Hopper, Founder and Director
Laura was raised in Iran by missionary parents and has lived in various parts of the United States. In college she was involved in politics and was heading for law school. However, she came to San Francisco instead. She began working in an investment banking firm and was dragged to a meditation class by a friend. "As soon as I walked in the door of that first class I know that's what I would do with my life.""People ask me why I got into this line of work. Initially, I didn't know except that it seemed like my calling. Previously I had tried to meditate on my own but did not feel like I was getting anywhere. I needed tools to meditate and I have discovered that other people do, too. I have changed from being an insecure, depressed person into someone with confidence, able to work well with people. I love watching the changes people go through - and the practical impact on their lives - by using this meditation for themselves."
Rev. Deborah Blackburn
Deborah lives in San Francisco and is an enthusiastic swimmer, reader, fabric artist and filmster who travels far and wide."Life is a blank canvas and we have the power to create ourselves and our world through our vision. My meditation practice at Psychic Horizons has helped me to intuitively paint both the picture of who I am and who I intend to become through two major life transitions in the past twenty years. Truly amazing work!"
Rev. Michelle Comeau
Michelle is retired from a supervisory position with UPS. She has sung with classical, rock and bluegrass music groups. She loves walking, reading and gardening, and is an avid world traveler."I have more self-confidence and have let go of a lot of apathy and pessimism. I have much less fear. These tools and spiritual concepts resonate for me - I love watching students heal themselves; I appreciate their strength, it is inspiring."
Rev. Paul Gifford
Paul Gifford currently works as a Construction Cost Estimator for Kaiser Permanente."I first came to Psychic Horizons as a Step 1 student in 1992, because my girlfriend threatened to drop me if I didn't go. We got married right after Step 1, and I've been with her and Psychic Horizons ever since. I'm the son of two Freudian psychoanalysts, raised on skepticism and hyper-analysis. I've spent the past 12 years learning over and over that the meditation skills I've acquired are a much better way to get answers that work, every time.
"When I first came to Psychic Horizons, I was awed by the certainty and the kindness of all the staff. I remain grateful that I have the opportunity to be part of that group, and so can learn from every student I have the chance to teach."
Rev. Tim Michaels, Director of Church Operations
Tim Michaels has been a staff minister and teacher since 1988 and is the Director of Church Operations. Tim has had a private bodywork practice since 1984.
"Teaching at Psychic Horizons continues to be my personal Fantastic Voyage of Spiritual Growth. Each session is another cycle. The more I teach the more I learn, the more I give the more I receive. By teaching tools for self knowledge, transformation, empowerment and inner communication, I am truly reaping what I sow. I love it."
Rev. Don Narin
"My participation with Psychic Horizons has been of great benefit to me. I have learned and experienced that it is my perspective that shapes my life and my reactions to life. The meditation practice that I do allows me to keep going deeper in seeing how I create my life. With this understanding and awareness, I am able to make choices that serve me, my family and the world in a more productive and fulfilling way. I am happier, more fulfilled and I know that I am on my own path."
Rev. Judy Tergis
Judy is the mother of four children and has owned her own computer store as well as managed other businesses. She began teaching at Psychic Horizons in 1988. She has also taught meditation tools to corporate clients."We teach what we wish to learn. That's why I've been teaching others to develop their psychic awareness since 1988."
Rev. Bruce van Horn
Bruce is a project manager for a small non-profit corporation and is a published poet and author. He began teaching at Psychic Horizons in 1994, including doing outside workshops for special interest groups such as churches and writers' groups. His main hobbies are music and singing.
"By being at Psychic Horizons, I've gained increased presence of mind, increased spiritual clarity and enhanced joy in my life. I've learned to see the relationship of spirituality to daily life and how to use that understanding. Being a part of another person's spiritual growth helps me continue to grow myself, and that's why I enjoy teaching."
Rev. Tom Connelly
Tom is a graphic artist and musician joining the Psychic Horizon's staff in 2007.
"Way back in 2000, I bought a book on how to meditate but found it hard to close my eyes and read. My training at the Psychic Horizons opened up my experience. I was and still am amazed that there is such a practical side to spiritual work; that being a spirit isn't separate from my everyday life experiences. I can have both a spirit and a body and that life flourishes when I recognize them working together."
Rev. Philippe Jestin
Philippe is a visual artist working and leaving in San Francisco.
"Coming to Psychic Horizons as a student in 2003 I experienced from the environment created by the staff a great level of permission to grow as a human being. Now being part of the staff and teaching at the school since 2007 I realize how important it is to be at this energy level of permission and non judgment. In this energetic space and with enthusiasm, helping people with their own spiritual growth becomes quite a precious experience."

The European Union's growth rebound continues with the region's overall PMI coming in better than expected, according to Bloomberg.
The Markit index of combined manufacturing and services PMI for October beat out early month estimates, coming in at 53.8 rather than 53.4. That's still below September's 54.1.
But, the real story is in manufacturing. That index has increased, month-over-month, to 54.6 from the previous 53.7.
So the European recovery is clearly more about exporting than consumption. And with Germany at the heart of that recovery, it's no surprise.

You've decided that it's time to replace your aging Mac with one of Apple's new laptops. Or maybe you're jumping onto the Mac platform for the first time. MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros, MacBook Pros with Retina displays – there are a lot of options. They run the gamut of prices, too. What do you get for your money? And which model is best suited for you?MacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro
Current MacBook models and their prices
Apple's MacBook line comprises two separate product categories: the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. The two systems are differentiated by their size, weight and relative performance, as well as their price.
The MacBook Air is Apple's lightweight laptop. It comes in two different form factors – 11-inch and 13-inch. It's Apple's least expensive laptop, starting at $999. The 11-inch model costs $999, the 13-inch model costs $100 more, $1,099.
Base models in both sizes come equipped with 1.3 GHz processors, 4GB of RAM and 128 GB of Solid State Drive (SSD) storage. New to the 2013 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina display models, the SSD is now connected through PCI Express, or PCIe. This is a dramatically faster storage interface than Serial ATA (SATA), used on last year's systems.
You can configure to order the MacBook Air with a faster processor, more RAM and more storage capacity. RAM and CPU speed can't be altered after the fact. SSD storage is upgradable, though not easily – Apple doesn't make the SSD user-accessible, so if you decide you need more storage you'll either have to take the MacBook Air apart or have a technician do it.
The "standard" 13-inch MacBook Pro is the next model up. It's priced at $1,199.
That system is the only Mac left that includes an internal optical "SuperDrive." It also sports 4GB of RAM and a SATA-connected 500 GB hard disk drive, making it the last Mac laptop that still uses a regular hard drive, too. The processor is clocked at 2.5 GHz. Customization options include a faster processor, more memory and different storage options including a larger hard drive or SSD.
For $1,299, you can have the new MacBook Pro with Retina display. It comes equipped with a 2.4 GHz dual-core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and 128 GB of SSD storage. Retina display-equipped MacBook Pros eschew the conventional hard drive and internal optical drive found in the regular 13-inch MacBook Pro; as a result the Retina display models are thinner and lighter than their conventional alternatives.
The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display brings up the rear. It's equipped with a 2.0 GHz quad-core i7 processor, 8GB RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. It uses Intel Iris Pro integrated graphics. This year, the Retina display model is the only 15-inch model Apple makes. It's priced at $1,999.
There's a higher-end 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display worth mentioning separately – it's the only model that sports a discrete graphics chip. Equipped with a 2.3 GHz quad-core i7 processor, it also includes Nvidia GeForce GT 750 graphics. It's Apple's extreme performer, with a price to match – $2,599.
Just like other MacBooks, MacBook Pros with Retina display can be configured to order with faster processors or more storage capabilities.
Different between screen size and display density
The MacBook Air is not yet available with a Retina display – both the 11-inch and 13-inch models sport regular-resolution LED panels. The 11-inch MacBook Air has a native resolution of 1366 x 768, while the 13-inch model uses a 1440 x 900 pixel display.
Some quick back of the envelope calculations (and simple observation) confirm that the 11-inch MacBook Air is a bit of an oddball – it has a different aspect ratiothan every other MacBook model. Most MacBooks incorporate a 16:10 display; the 11-inch MacBook Air has a 16:9 display. This means that the 11-inch MacBook Air actually has a wider-looking display than other MacBook models; it's a bit more cinematic (the aspect ratio is consistent with your HDTV, for example).
In any case, the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models have pixel densities of 135 pixels per inch (PPI) and 128 PPI respectively. They're sharp, clear displays capable of generating millions of colors, but they're not Retina.
Neither is the $1,199 MacBook Pro. That model sports a native resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels packed into a 13.3-inch display. It's in the same ballpark as the MacBook Air – around 113 PPI.
The "Retina display" moniker began with the iPhone and quickly migrated over to the iPad. And since 2012 we've seen MacBook Pros with Retina displays as well. That doesn't mean that the MacBook Pro has the same pixel density as, say, an iPhone 5s or an iPad mini with Retina display – it simply means that you can't make out individual pixels looking at the screen from an average distance.
In this particular case, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display sports a native resolution of 2560 x 1600 – even higher-resolution than the iPad Air. Although the screen is the same size as the regular 13-inch MacBook Pro, the pixel density is doubled – 227 PPI. The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has a native resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels. That's about 220 PPI.
The difference between Retina display and standard display is profound – Retina displays show more detail in photographs and make it easier to read text at smaller point sizes. Obviously there's a finite limit to how well your eyes work, so the best thing to do is to check them out in person at an Apple retail store and figure out what suits you best.
With the exception of the "standard" 13-inch MacBook Pro – a holdover from Apple's 2012 product line – all MacBooks now ship with variants of Intel's fourth-generation Core processor, known by its code-name, "Haswell."
Haswell is an improvement over the Ivy Bridge chip found in last year's models, incorporating a smaller die size and improved power management, which is why this year's models have such improved battery life.
Haswell-equipped MacBooks also sport faster graphics processing through Haswell's Integrated Graphics Processor (IGP) – up to 40 percent faster than before, according to Apple's own tests.
Graphics speed gets progressively better further up the MacBook food chain. The MacBook Air uses Intel HD 5000 graphics, while the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display uses Iris graphics, which are faster. The 15-inch MacBook Pro models sport Iris Pro graphics, which are faster still thanks to the addition of EDRAM memory. (The high-end 15-inch model also sports a discrete graphics processor which is automatically activated when running graphics-intensive apps like games and Photoshop.)
Battery Life
An important consideration for your next laptop should be how long you'll be able to work on it away from a power outlet. After all, carrying around your power cord with you all the time means more bulk, which sort of defeats the point of having a portable computer in the first place.
The diminutive 11-inch MacBook Air sports about 9 hours of life (surfing the web; you'll see about an hour less if you're watching videos). The 13-inch MacBook Air, which has almost a third more battery capacity, can last to up to 12 hours without needing to get plugged back in. This model currently rules the roost in terms of battery capacity.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display manages to eke out a very impressive 9 hours, despite its high-resolution screen. And the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display also manages a respectable 8 hours, despite all the heavy-duty hardware under the hood.
You can expect the standard 13-inch MacBook Pro, with its 2012-era tech under the hood, to require a recharge after about 7 hours.
All of this year's crop of laptops – everything except the $1,199 MacBook Pro – comes with 802.11ac wireless networking, or "Gigabit Wi-Fi." In practice, an 802.11ac-equipped Mac is capable of transferring data wirelessly up to three times faster than the 802.11n Wi-Fi found on older machines like the standard MacBook Pro.
That is, of course, predicated on the availability of an 802.11ac-equipped base station, like Apple's new AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule, as well as other 802.11ac-based systems working on the same network. Otherwise your new MacBook Pro will step down to the fastest speed available. 802.11ac is backwards-compatible with 802.11a, b, g and n standards.
Bluetooth 4.0 comes standard across the product line.
The MacBook Airs both come equipped with two USB 3.0 ports and one Thunderbolt port. The Thunderbolt port can be used for connecting to an external display, a RAID system and other devices (it's daisy-chainable, too). The 13-inch MacBook Air adds an SDXC card slot, making it easy to import images and movies from SD card-based cameras.
SDXC card slots are standard across the MacBook Pro with Retina display line. They are also the first Apple laptops to support Thunderbolt 2, a faster high-speed interface that works at twice the bandwidth of the original Thunderbolt. What's more, there are two Thunderbolt 2 ports. There are also two USB 3.0 ports and an HDMI connector, so you can attach your MacBook Pro directly to an HDTV if you'd like.
The $1,199 MacBook Pro has a built in Gigabit Ethernet connector, FireWire 800, a single Thunderbolt port, two USB 3.0 ports and an SDXC card slot.
Operating system
All new Macs ship with OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" pre-installed. Mavericks, which was released in October, features some new user interface elements like tabbed Finder windows and file tagging, along with some new apps like a redesigned Calendar, and for the first time on the Mac, Maps and iBooks. iCloud integration is greatly enhanced as well, so you'll see improved workflow efficiency if you share files and data between your Mac, your iPhone and your iPad.
But what really makes Mavericks exceptional is the under-the-hood changes that Apple has developed to improve power efficiency and performance. Laptops running Mavericks will last longer than ever before on a single charge thanks to important changes like Timer Coalescing and App Nap, features that more efficiently use the laptop's processor and conserve battery life. Safari Power Saver keeps the Adobe Flash plug-in from loading unless you say it's ok.
Who should get a MacBook Air?
I liken the MacBook Air to a roadster, like a Mazda Miata. It looks lightweight, and on paper the specs don't blow you out of the water. But get behind the wheel and it's a completely different experience – it's lithe, nimble and a lot of fun to drive.
In the same token, the MacBook Air is a pleasure to use; its solid state architecture, streamlined with PCIe, makes it fast and responsive. For many Mac users who are surfing the Web, running productivity software, even light graphics and design work, the MacBook Air is a perfectly balanced machine that won't cost you a lot of money and does a lot.
The downside is the limited storage capacity. 128 GB isn't a lot, especially if you're a digital pack rat, and SSD costs a lot to upgrade. The inexpensive – and inconvenient – solution is to migrate content to an external hard disk drive.
Who should get a standard MacBook Pro?
The standard-issue MacBook Pro fits a niche between the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro with Retina display. It also fits an important niche in the ecosystem: it's a laptop for people who need a lot more local storage space than they can afford with an SSD-equipped system, or built-in optical storage – useful if you're frequently reading or burning CDs and DVDs.
The downside is that it lacks the faster Wi-Fi, faster graphics and better battery performance of this year's models. So there are compromises.
Having said that, the 13-inch MacBook Pro remains a popular option for many Mac users looking for a good, reliable laptop with plenty of capability. Which is why Apple's left it in current lineup. If you're looking for a flexible machine with lots of storage, this is a great option.
Who should get a MacBook Pro with Retina display?
At $1,299, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is a better value than ever. The size is right for most people; the price is right for many as well. This year's crop of rMBPs are faster and more capable than ever, thanks to an efficient processor core and the incorporation of Mavericks.
If you're doing heavy duty graphics work on your laptop – editing huge Photoshop files, editing digital video, or if you're looking for maximum performance, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is going to be your best best. The Iris Pro graphics are surprisingly spritely for an integrated graphics chipset, and the Nvidia graphics on the higher-end 15-inch MacBook Pro offers no compromises.
