2G Emergency No-Tech Rescue Operation
While technically a temporary measure (since my parents are gifting me with a 5gallon for him, but not for five weeks), I was dumb and horrible and terrible (and did I mention horrible, dumb, and terrible?) and now I have to do a 100% water change to improve conditions for my betta, Pearlicus. :icon_cry:
Some of the problems, I'm sure, included lack of plants, and riccia in (very) poor "health". So I'm taking the chance to overhaul the tank. An hour of work, and he should have fresh everything, and this horrible mess will never happen again. :icon_redf
I have a Bolbitas heteroclita and a pile of anacharis stems I'm going to put in there. The Bolbitas has a plant weight, and so far I've had a lot of luck keeping anacharis by just sticking the bottom of the stem in the gravel and letting it go from there. I've gotten a couple inches in about two weeks, so it's doing well enough that I'm comfortable putting it in with Pearlicus.
I have 4 gallons of mature, treated water that I put together when I initially thought that 50% daily water-changes were going to have to happen. After two days of water changes, conditions haven't improved enough. Therefore, overhaul it is.
Emergency Tank-Recovery Plan of Attack
Prep Phase:
1) Clear the area. Lay down towels. Collect the last bucket that's not holding treated water, arrange it nearby. Move candle holders, spare keys, and that pile of flashcards.
2) Put on apron. The Apron shows that I mean business. My roommate won't bother me if I'm wearing The Apron.
3) Haul treated water from the bathroom into the work area.
Active Recovery Phase:
1) Remove Pearlicus from tank, into his bringing-home bowl. Put him on a shelf in the bathroom, out of the way and in the quiet.
2) Siphon out enough water to make carrying the tank comfortable. Then, carry tank to bathtub and pour the rest of the water through a fish net to keep gravel out of the drain.
3) Pick out swords from the now decimated tank. Throw them in the snail repository temporarily. (Move to 10G after clean-up)
4) Using bottled gallon of treated water, rinse the gravel. Swish, and dump out the water again. Rinse tub so roommate doesn't find out.
5) Refill halfway with the good-bucket water, then arrange plants, and finish filling.
6) Arrange drip-acclimation setup to help ease the transition for Pearlicus. Watch closely for an hour. Maybe have a snack.
7) Return Pearlicus to now-clean tank and monitor until bedtime.
Recovery Maintenance:
*Daily testing for all the stuff I have testing kits for.
*Every-other-day water change, 20-50% depending on parameters, until all-clear and steady.
Pre-Op Thoughts
I truly feel so horrible about what wound up happening. I would like to blame school for literally destroying my sense of time-frame, but I know there is no excuse. It won't happen again, though. The shock of learning my lesson this time will make sure of that.
I'm utterly distracted at work, running through the motions in my head, so I can make this as quick and painless of a project as I physically can. I know it might be silly, since he's survived this long in these conditions, but there's a tiny seed of pure terror inside my gut that I'm going to get home and it will be too late. Maybe I'm grossly overreacting. Maybe I really am crazy. But Pearlicus is the first pet I've owned personally, all to myself, since I started college. I will be so relieved when I get everything fixed for him.
Post-Op Thoughts
I think it went well. Rinsing out the gravel was almost disgusting, I had to swish it around in several gallons of water before I started pouring off clear water. Definitely a learning experience. When I upgrade Pearlicus to a 5-gallon, I'm going to be using a soil/sand cap substrate and get some MTS to help with that mess. The plants I put in aren't as filling as I had hoped. I underestimated the size of the tank, so I'm going to throw some of the better-off swords back in this afternoon. I'm hoping to catch a nice RAOK to fill my 10g back out, otherwise I'll be putting up a WTB in the next few days, at the very least, well before it starts to truly get chilly in my area (Southeast Michigan. Whee.)

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by armygirl, Feb 5, 2011.
6-way tie if you count Stuckey.
Could be. At his youthful age, not much was overtly expected, but he adapted through hard work and showed maturity in not becoming part of the internal chain-gang. As the team progresses into another direction, he has made a big mark because of his maturation level. His IQ will make him a solid contributor, can we ask, at this age, anything more? Here is a question for you. What is to become of Yao Ming? After seven years and at age thirty, how can he keep healthy? Remember, at 7-6, the pounding from the hardwood and the toll from a physiologic standpoint of view, is tenuous for this talented giant...and whole systematic reactions, from abnormal physical-body extensions must cope with an equally abnormal concentration that creates breaking points in response to those actions. A perspective is now on the horizon: those approaching 7 ft (-/+ 2 inches) now begin adaptation to perimeter play...where you have combinations of outer offensive displays in 3 pt. jump shooting, less body contact, less dominance from rebounding accountability (some guards at 1-2 and sometimes 3, dominate statistics in proportion to positioning), less finesse toward the interior, and the wholesale concentration on the waiting for someone who can force the smaller game from outside their perch. Generally, this means those top ranked guards must start catch-hauling those meandering schools of fish. Those guards are at ground level and must understand the sea-breeze, as opposed to those in the higher elevations from the crow's nest...that are on the lookout for the whales and the lessening of the messy catch on-board.
I'd say that whoever ends up with Yao should just sit him for the regular season and unleash him during the last 10 games or so to warm up for the playoffs.
10 straight games? You trying to kill him?
i lol'd. ty.
Maybe just save him for a game 7 situation. He could guard Duncan instead of Tay.
I think Yao has suffered more than physical damage. His reaction skills are not even there anymore. You would think his peripheral vision would catch that oncoming shark and he would at least flinch a bit. At least Tayshaun was good at moving out of the way.
Laimbeer and Mahorn woulda thrown the shark back by now...They'd certainly keep him out of the paint.
That is so hilarious...good job. Poor Rip City will have to take at least another 6 months for equal responses. Shame on us.
I don't care what do you think of Yao. He is a great player ,that's no doubt . I know he moves slowly because he is taller than others in NBA.and after the games in NBA season ,he had to back to China Basketball Team for a whole summer.He is tired than others. A player who has 7foot height in NBA was easily Injured like Big Z, A.Bynum etc. and I'm a Pistons fan here.
Absolutely, and I think that this had a huge impact on all big-men who are inherit far more susceptible to stress factors from the knees on down. Of course, representing his home country might have hurt his professional career and the style played by the team. Many project that he will move on from Houston, but I think that would be a mistake. There should be much movement this year, providing a contract is signed.
He will be fine.
Yao's the quickest 7'6" big man in the league by far. But in all seriousness, he's the most coordinated + 7 footer in history. Great touch, wonderful free throw shooter, and high bball IQ. Such a shame that he's too big for his feet to support.
I would instead say Hakeem. He is cat-like.
True we can't forget the Dream. I also would have liked to see what would have happened if Sabonis could have played some injury free ball in his younger years in the NBA.
Yeah, but only if you believe Hakeem was actually 7 feet. I've heard that he's more like 6'10"
Another reason to like Monroe: Pistons' Greg Monroe plans to change number, in deference to Dennis Rodman | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
It would be easy to just move up to 11.
Best Pistons news since the season ended.
Separate names with a comma.

It never ceases to amaze me how much of a treasure finding this forum has been...
Thanks for the advice guys. I plan on going over to captain Gatto this morning and insisting he getting it hauled and surveyed before I can hand over my savings on a boat that will more than likely wind up costing me the price of a steal that is currently out of my price range now. Guess I will just keep on saving, considering the issues I have discovered are going to cost me 8-15K to fix, if not double that if the mast has to be replaced...
Even if I put 30K into this boat it will still get the Oh Gawd look when I pull up into a marina. That is not the kind of thing that is going to motivate the blood, sweat and tears this thing is going to need out of me. Initially I figured a 40' boat for 8K, was a bargain, but it is clear to me this was more of a you get what you pay for than a bargain after all.
It is really nice being down here... It was worth the trip... Now how do I go about avoiding getting ripped on a $500.00 deposite to hold the boat next time?
Yah, the green and brown thing are rather critical. From the amount of rust it has been wet too much too long. The stuffing box can be repacked, but you probably would want to replace it before the rubber fails, and clean up all the rust to see what shape the shaft is in under it. Also, the cables/tubing that are running alongside it don't appear to be secured properly, I'd worry about chafing failures and if the red cable is a battery cable--a fire.
The wood is sunbleached, there may be structural damage from going unprotected for too long. If you cna find someone who will still inspect a wooden mast--they may tell you to replace the mast and boom, and that may eat your entire repair budget. A conventional aluminum mast is simply stepped, held down by the tension of the stays (and more recently by a pin or bolt into the shoe) and the way those screws are all lifted, would indicate there's been a lot of movement there.
A purring engine is good...but I think a proper survey could give you a bill of specifics that you could use to reality-check your refitting budget. In any case, make up a bill of goods yourself and price 'em up. Rigging and sails, with nothing else, could also eat up your budget.
Could be a bargain--but one major slip, like needing a new mast and boom, could also double the price of your entire project. (Purchase AND refit budget combined.)
The nicest part of being a pessimist, is that it is always a pleasant surprise to be wrong about these things! [g]
Oh Gawd Jags...you better have a love for boat work and a steady job. Sorry but if you are STILL serious about this boat you need a real survey and haulout and test it in gear under power.
BTW...that green thing next to the ball of rust was your stuffing box attatched to your prop shaft attached to your transmission.
The green and brown thing would scare me........if the mast didn't......
I hope you're stealing this but can certainly understand how you feel.......
I fell in love with a three timing whore once.........still think about her......
I bought an old boat myself, and I thought the former owner didn't take care of things. But now that I see your pictures, way to go PO. My boat is in **** and span shape compared to your pictures. (g)
The mast would worry me along with the rust in most of the pictures you posted.
OK I am back. The boat actually appears to be Cutter Ketch, the owner bought it to learn how to sail and was evemn more clueless than I was if that were possible.
The hull is sound.
Did not find any meat hooks on the running rigging but figure on replacing it anyway, the electrical wiring for the DC appears to be shot out as the running lights are out...
Sails need to be replaced.
The mast and boom are made of wood and painted.
Thing is the bottom of the mast looks to be coming loose from its base by the looks of these screws... Nothing I can't handle I reckon.
The volvo purr's like a kitten. But I noticed dripping coming from where it went down through the hull where the green thing attaches to the brown thing. Other than that the boat is dry to the bone...
What is this?
Here is a sight with some other pic's...
Ketch Cutter
My question being posed to you all as I am sold on the boat realizing I am going to immediatly going in the hole for about 8-15k to get it where I want it which is somewhere in the blue...
BTW as I sat there listening to it to try and get resonating frequency I could hear it calling my name...
Now will someone please talk me out of it... be back later... Girls are dying to go and play now...
|But it could be a good deal still the mast, motor, sails, and electronics may be reusable for a decent boat. it wouldent take much to get 8k off scrap and useable parts
I'll bet the survey would knock off more than the asking price of the boat. The seller would owe the buyer money to take it.
for what its worth, a "40 ft ketch ready to cruise" for 8k.
Ummm, its either the deal of the century, or... something a bit less.
As an aside, If someone called me and said, "hey sparky, I want a survey on a 40ft ketch for 8k and its ready to cruise... "
I'd be hard pressed to not be "busy" for the next 6 months. In more direct terms, I wouldn't drive across the street to see it.

Leaders of the Church of Scientology in France are being placed on trial on charges of participating in fraud. It is the second time in six years the church has faced a court in France. A woman complained she was approached in the street by someone who said he was in the Church of Scientology and he offered her a free personality test. According to the man, she failed the test because she had a poor personality that required "life enhancement" courses, plus vitamins and other pills. A second woman complained her employer was in the Church of Scientology and he pushed her into courses and in the end she wound up getting fired. The seven leaders are charged by the French government with illegal practice of pharmaceutical work because they were selling vitamins and other pills.
One can only wonder how the woman was identified as possessing a "poor personality" since two of the most famous personalities involved in the Church of Scientology are Tom Cruise and John Travolta. If those two individuals are examples of "good personalities" we can assume there are problems in the Church of Scientology's definition of "good personalities."

Hey guys,
I wanted to let you know about the contest I am throwing about my Star Wars fan film.... the link is at the bottom!
My wife thought it would be a lot of fun if I had a Contest to design one of my Official Logo's for Star Wars: Retribution, my fan film. So, we were talking about the best gift to giveaway and I think a brand new Master Replicas Force FX Lightsaber will be the giveaway prize!!!!!!
So, here is what you all need to do. I would like you to take a look at all the Official Star Wars posters you can search for them on google or yahoo, and come up with a Star Wars-esque logo which features the words "Star Wars Retribution" in the title.
Please make sure you can email me the photo. I would need the logo to be on the computer in .jgp or .gif kind of files. You can make it look like its from one of the original Star Wars movies, or you can design something TOTALLY new!
And you can also enter as many Logo's as you want. That means, if you want to enter 10 different logo designs you can do that if you want. I don't have the Ending date yet on this contest, I will wait until I have plent of submissions from all over the world. I have almost 500 friends on Myspace alone, so this could be a really fun contest.
As for how the winner will be picked, my wife and I will be deciding which logo looks the best. So, even if you only design one logo, feel free to submit it in as many different color schemes as you can. The winner will be announced on my Myspace Blog and I will post a photo of the winner with their Master Replicas Lightsaber prize on my blog after they receive it!
You can email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or you can send me your logo submission on Myspace, whatever is easier to you. I will be posting the best of the best on my blog as well!
Here is my Myspace page dedicated to the Star Wars fan film:
Good Luck, and lets see those Star Wars Retribution logos!!

is that the "sandy" helmet?
I believe that's the plain ol' Pre-Pro v2.
i'm not that familiar with pp2, i thought it had the cat scratches like esb.
Naw, PPv3 was the PPv2 costume with a helmet that had a paintjob closely resembling the ESB helmet.

The only way your company will differentiate based on customer experience is if the culture of your organization aligns closely with the brand promise to customers. Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh puts it in his blog post entitled "Your Culture Is Your Brand": "Advertising can only get your brand so far . . . So what's a company to do if you can't just buy your way into building the brand you want? In a word: culture. At Zappos, our belief is that if you get the culture right, most of the other stuff — like great customer service, or building a great long-term brand, or passionate employees and customers — will happen naturally on its own."
When Forrester looks at building a customer-focused culture, we believe firms need some precursors in place, such as a clear strategy and vision, metrics that reflect customer perceptions, and governance mechanisms that set standards and hold people accountable for changes.
Once those are in place, rewards systems are one powerful lever to keep employees focused on what's important. My colleague Belle Bocal and I identified nine ways that companies use reward systems to build a customer-centric culture.
Many companies make the mistake of trying to tie variable compensation (e.g., bonuses) to customer experience metrics too early. What many firms have learned is that the more informal recognition programs can be even more powerful at moving culture than the compensation metrics.

KCPT is a 501(c) 3 organization.
Many KCPT productions and most national PBS programs are available for purchase. Please visit our online store for ordering information and pricing. PBS videos are available online at Shop PBS (ordering through the Shop PBS web site supports KCPT) or by phone through PBS (1-877-PBS-SHOP) or VideoFinders (1-800-343-4727).
It is a violation of copyright laws for KCPT to make a copy or "dub" of a PBS program for you.
KCPT values your comments and concerns, so we have a policy that all e-mails, letters and phone calls will generally receive an answer within several business days. When we evaluate a program, our viewers' opinions do carry a great deal of weight. So, if you loved a show, please let us know. Likewise, if you disliked a program, it is also very important that you let us know why. Because your comments may impact our future decisions about programs, we encourage you to send Viewer Services your thoughts via email (firstname.lastname@example.com), by phone (816) 756-3580 or by mail (125 East 31st Street, Kansas City, MO 64108).
KCPT does not have any impact on the creation or content of national PBS programs. So, in some cases, it is more appropriate to direct your comments and questions to PBS or the shows' producers. If you disagree with a show's concept, information or ideas, the best way to voice your concern is to go straight to the source by contacting the show's creators or using the feedback system on the PBS Web site. To reach PBS, click here.
If you have questions about KCPT's local productions (Ruckus, Kansas City Week in Review, or Rare Visions & Roadside Revelations), you may want to consider visiting the Local Programs part of the Web site.
There are a number of reasons that KCPT may choose to broadcast a program at a different time than what is published for the national PBS schedule. One of the most basic reasons is simply that PBS schedules are based on the Eastern time zone, whereas the KCPT service area is on Central time. So some KCPT programs air here in the Kansas City region one hour behind the PBS broadcast.
Many of the other reasons for broadcast differences are all based on the fact that KCPT is a PBS member station, not an affiliate network station like ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, WB, or UPN. Some differences are obvious, like the fact that we do not have commercials. However, what many people do not realize is that PBS is not a network at all, but rather a television service. Networks pay their affiliate stations to carry national programming and therefore require that they run the shows at the same time everywhere. Alternatively, PBS stations pay for PBS programming, and since the individual stations own the broadcast rights, they have more autonomy in scheduling.
Some PBS material, called common carriage, is carried by all stations. Examples of common carriage programs are Frontline and PBS NewsHour. PBS and various public television producers do provide an abundance of material to stations, but the majority of member stations choose to broadcast a vibrant mix of local and regional programs rather than a schedule filled with 100 percent national shows. KCPT, like most stations, also chooses to time-shift some national programs (either by hour or by day) in order to create the best schedule we can for the Kansas City region.
Other programs that PBS offers are completely optional and do not fall into common carriage. For these shows, KCPT may broadcast some on the same day as the national schedule, but others we may record and save for a later broadcast, or not show them at all. The reasons for these decisions vary, but all are based on careful review of the show and how it might be received in the Kansas City market.
Eighty-four cents of every dollar KCPT needs to operate comes from individuals and corporations right here in Kansas City. So, membership drives are one of the many fundraising tools we use to turn viewers into members of KCPT. All of us at KCPT understand how you feel about membership drives. We conduct them approximately four times per year but because they interfere with our regular programming, we understand that it does "feel" like they happen more often than that. We have been exploring less disruptive methods to boost membership, but at this time our largest percentage of individual new members is generated from the drives. This makes them a very necessary, but sometimes frustrating, practice for our viewers.
During membership drives we do broadcast a number of the programs several times. We do this so that we can generate the most new members possible during the drive. The replay of highly successful membership programs is called "Members' Choice," because more members donate during those programs than any other. Typically only six percent of KCPT's viewing audience is tuned into a particular show at any given time, which means that an encore presentation of a membership show is still "new" to the remaining 94 percent of our audience.
Each day there are hundreds of programs available to us for broadcast on KCPT. From children's programming to national PBS prime-time shows, we carefully consider each program or series for its relevance and value to the Kansas City regional audience. Many programs in our prime-time hours are a part of the PBS common carriage lineup, which means that they are being carried on virtually every PBS station all over the country. Others, such as "how-to" shows or children's programs, vary in broadcast days and times from station to station. In fact, there are so many programs available to us from various public television sources we could never show them all. Therefore, we must pick and choose. When making program selections, our two highest priorities are local KCPT productions and PBS common carriage programming. Any other program selection is discretionary, so we make determinations by carefully weighing the various aspects of the following criteria: subject matter, production quality, journalistic or artistic integrity, community value, audience appeal, local relevance, viewer feedback and cultural significance.
The region that KCPT serves is very diverse, and we believe it is part of public television's mission to speak to that diversity with a program lineup that spans a broad range of opinions and experiences. Occasionally we broadcast a show with a select appeal even though some viewers may disagree with the content. Programs that foster an understanding of an opposing point of view can help create a local community dialogue. Regardless of the occasional disagreement with a show, our hope is that most of the time you are able to find programs on KCPT that brighten your life in some way—through a new emotion, a new idea or a new way of looking at things.
KCPT purchases the broadcast rights for all the programs we air. Each program's individual "rights" dictate to us how many times we can air a program in a given window of time. The average rights period is for four times over three or four years, although it could be much shorter or longer. At the end of that time period, KCPT can no longer legally broadcast the program. Occasionally, old programs will be available again so additional rights can be bought.
As a non-commercial television station, financial support from individuals makes up almost half of every dollar we spend, so every dollar you contribute counts. Contrary to popular belief, about 90 cents of every dollar KCPT spends is generated in the Kansas City region from corporations, foundations and people just like you. In other words, only about 10 cents per dollar comes from government funding, and none of it comes from the cable companies. The advantage for viewers is that KCPT is truly a community station that is committed to the concerns and preferences of our region. Here are some important reasons to support KCPT:
There are lots of ways to become a member: online, on the phone (816-756-3580) or via mail.

In general, all programs broadcast on KCPT have a one-year allowance for classroom/educational usage. However, it is always best to double check before taping or using a program for a broad audience. For local KCPT productions, please contact Viewer Services (816.756.3580), for national PBS programs, please consult PBS TeacherSource for copyright guidelines.
You can receive digital signals by attaching a set-top digital tuner box to your regular television. The box, available wherever TVs are sold, attaches to your TV set like a DVD player. Regular (analog) televisions will not pick up digital signals without a set-top digital tuner box. Newer digital television sets come with the digital tuner box already installed. Other digital televisions, like high definition (HDTV) sets, pick up the better picture quality of KCPT's digital signal, but not the extra channels unless a set-top digital tuner box is installed.
It sounds as though you're hearing the Descriptive Video Service (DVS) option made available to audiences who are blind or visually impaired. You can turn this feature off and on fairly easily.
Most newer-model TVs with stereophonic sound systems are able to receive a Second Audio Program (SAP) which provides enriched verbal descriptions of what is heard and seen on a TV's primary audio and video channels. Most TVs and VCRs require you to select the SAP channel in order to receive and record DVS. The selector is usually labeled SAP, MTS, Audio 2, or Audio B on your TV panel, remote-control device, or on-screen menu. Un-selecting the SAP channel should eliminate the DVS option.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini - 8/16GB with microSD slot
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 16/32/64GB with microSD slot
As a lower-cost device, we're not too surprised to see that the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini doesn't offer particularly high-capacity options. You're stuck with either 8GB or 16GB of internal memory, while the full fat Samsung Galaxy S3 goes all the way up to 64GB (although good luck finding the 64GB model in the UK…).
Initial storage isn't a huge concern, though, as both phones come with a microSD memory card slot that lives under the battery cover.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini - 5MP, LED flash, VGA secondary camera
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 8MP, LED flash, 1.9MP secondary camera
Once again, the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini feels the cuts involved in stepping down from the level of a flagship phone to a mid-range one. It offers a 5-megapixel camera sensor while the Galaxy S3 has an 8MP camera. The secondary cameras show a similar gap, with a VGA user-facing sensor against the superior 1.9MP sensor of the previous S3 model.
Samsung tends to produce rather good phone cameras, but we do not doubt that the S3 Mini will be thoroughly outpaced by its big brother. As if to demonstrate this, the Mini edition is only capable of capturing video up to 720p in resolution, while the earlier S3 can snag 1080p video.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini - 1500mAh
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 2100mAh
Once again, the Samsung Galaxy S3 reminds of the original Samsung Galaxy S, this time in its battery capacity. Like the great grandfather of the series, the new Mini features a 1500mAh unit. That's a good deal smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S3's 2100mAh battery.
Of course, one of the biggest drains on a phone's battery is the screen, and the smaller, lower resolution of the Mini's 4-incher should ensure somewhat-comparable battery stamina. You're looking at around a day and a half's moderate use from a charge.
Samsung seemed to claim that the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini was like a Galaxy S3 crammed into a smaller body. But that's not really true. It's much more like a revisited Samsung Galaxy S, a phone that's more than two years old.
This isn't a terrible thing, but means that the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is a perfunctory mid-range phone rather than something particularly exciting and new.

Deliver the same great experience on every channel. Read The Unified Customer Experience Imperative ›
Sign-up made simple.
You want an enrollment experience that's secure, compliant, and so painless that it's actually a pleasure. Especially for your customers who want the flexibility to start on one device, switch to another, and then finish up wherever they are. Today no one wants to deal with complicated paper-based forms. And everyone expects a great experience on every device. You're excited about going digital because you'll save time, money, and be able to personalize enrollment so it works better.
Get your enrollment rolling.
Your customers are on the move, so your enrollment experiences need to be too. If you have clunky web or paper-like experiences on mobile devices, your customers may switch to pricy in-person or telephone options — or give up altogether. But when you offer seamless, consistent experiences across all devices, enrollment is a breeze.
Adobe can help. With Adobe Experience Manager, you can easily create the same engaging customer experiences for mobile, tablets, and desktops – and deliver them without writing code. Using the same content, Experience Manager creates mobile optimized sites, pages, forms, documents that automatically adjust for all devices. Customers can start a transaction on a smartphone, continue on a desktop, and then complete it on a tablet — picking up right where they left off. And if any of them drop off along the way, Adobe Campaign lets you re-engage them with targeted emails.
Make your forms safe and sound.
You've heard that electronic signatures can help make enrollment convenient and fast for your customers, but you're concerned about security and compliance. Yet some departments still think paper forms and signatures are safer. They don't realize that e-signatures can streamline sign-ups and processing, saving you time and money, while being completely secure and compliant.
Adobe can help. Adobe can help. With Experience Manager Forms and Adobe Sign, you can make your enrollment process paperless, compliant, and secure. You can simplify forms by pre-filling data from existing customer or social media profiles. Meet the most stringent security and web accessibility requirements and support the highest level of signer authentication. Say goodbye to printing, scanning, and postage costs. You'll find it easier to adapt to changing compliance requirements without reprinting anything.
Move from paper planes to digital jets.
It's time-consuming and costly to have developers create and update your forms — especially if you have multiple versions that have to work well on the web, in mobile, and apps. You rather take control and have the ability to create and manage digital forms on your own more efficiently, which gets you to market faster.
Adobe can help. With Experience Manager Forms, you can quickly create and manage forms that are consistent on every device. The simple drag-and-drop tools make it easy to define and apply styles, colors, and fonts. Localize content and insert logic rules. Even set dynamic behavior — without coding. After forms are submitted, automated workflows connect them to back-end systems and save you processing time.
Get up close and personal with your customers.
It's important to know exactly how your customers experience enrollment. Of course, you want to understand how long it takes to complete an application, which groups of customers are interacting at each step, and where they're dropping off. These are the kinds of insights that will help you personalize the customer experience, increase conversion, and drive sales.
Adobe can help. With Adobe Analytics you can get real-time insights into how customers experience your enrollment. See where they're engaged and learn where they drop off. Then use Adobe Target to test multiple versions of a form and encourage cross-selling with personalized approval letters, welcome kits, and promotions.
Streamlined enrollment. At your service.
Today's consumers want a streamlined sign-up process that they can start and complete on any device. In many industries, customer interactions involve the exchange of a lot of information, including when customers sign-up, onboard, and apply for services. Delivering the most modern enrollment requires the right combination of data, insights, and tools.
Why Adobe.
Adobe gives you everything you need to deliver relevant, personalized enrollment experiences. Create them for desktops and mobile devices all in one location — without coding. Build easy-to-complete forms with legally binding electronic signatures thanks to integration with Adobe Sign. Identify your best content with easy-to-execute tests and get deep insights into your customers. With Marketing Cloud, you can deliver the right experience to every customer, every time.

I started Jango back in 2007. Finished it a couple years ago, haven't been wearing it much. I wanted something new, something that's rare and not seen a lot at conventions. I made a straight across trade with the maker of these suits in the UK. I did keep the MR's. Of course it didn't look like this when I got it. I changed all the pleather parts for leather. I made the belt, vest, leg straps, undershirt, and made several tweaks for accuracy. Basically remade the whole suit/ mounting system with the exception of the green parts and the hairy diaper, which got weathered. Axe is made of Styrene and a wood handle. As far as I've seen, there are only about 5 of these suits trooping in the 501st. I think the guy in the UK got the better deal.
I think this was the last time I wore it.
All the pleather in it's glory. This is how it arrived.
And now, 3 months later:

Hello all!
My name is Michael Burgess and I live in a small town named Lotus on the South Fork of the American River east of Sacramento, California (near Placerville for anyone familiar with the California foothills). I moved here about four years ago from Southern California where I attend a few introductory sittings at the Los Angeles Zen Center. I've been sitting with a Vipassana group here in Placerville weekly for the last year. I play bass guitar, study herbal medicine and work in my garden of vegetables and medicinal plants on the weekends while working in Sacramento during the week. I'm looking forward to getting to know people in the Zendo and participating!

Art on a Whim in Breckenridge hosts artist Cynthia Duff
March 1, 2012
Cynthia Duff's calling as an artist was evident from an early age. The ways in which she masterfully moves from one medium to the next and weaves through a wide array of subject matters in her work certainly speaks to this fact. Duff's early memories are dotted with experiences of painting alongside her father and learning the nuances of nature exploring Colorado's outdoors with the rest of her family. The combination of a strong artistic background and a fascination with the beauty that Colorado has to offer is a constant in Duff's work to this day.
Every viewer of a Cynthia Duff painting or sculpture is quickly taken by the chemistry of color and rhythm of shape used in her work. Intrigue is ever present when taking in her collection of bent birchwood wall sculptures. Fun is never far from the tip of the tongue when looking at her "Here's Cheers" series of paintings depicting animals in celebration. Duff's seamless transition between fun, beautiful, ethereal and abstract makes her show in the Art on a Whim gallery a must-see this weekend.
Duff is perhaps best known for her work in a series she calls "Bent Tones." These pieces truly pop off of the wall, as each is designed to do just that. Formed from a thin sheet of real birch wood, Duff hand-shapes each piece of wood into a sculpted arch. Every piece is decorated with acrylic wood stains and gold leaf. This combination of materials highlights the beautiful grains present in the woods Duff works with and accents them with the iridescence of the gold she strategically places throughout the sculpture. The concept for this series arose from Duff's participation in a sculpture show called "beNT."
While searching for a bent canvas to use for the show Duff decided she would simply create her own. In the process she stumbled upon a series of work that is both completely unique and quintessentially Colorado.
Not content to stick with one series of work, Duff is also highly regarded for a collection of paintings created for the Colorado Mountain Winefest. Of the paintings she created for the Winefest Duff says, "The whimsical images morphed into a whole series of characters celebrating life's pleasures of friendship and drink." Whimsical is the perfect word to sum up the good times captured by the creative and colorful brush strokes Duff masterfully applied to this series. With pieces titled "Bubble Bunnies," "Martini Lizzies" and "Good 'Ol Dogs" Duff brought to life the human element and party animal present in a whole slew of entertaining species.
Living in Grand Junction for the past six years has presented Duff with a wonderful locale to explore and find inspiration. She says, ""Whether it be on my motorcycle, hiking, skiing, boating, golfing or diving, I am inspired every minute by the sun's light and how its glow lands on subjects below. I am inspired by God's spirit and how wonderful each curve and shape, in its own way, dances to music."
These sentiments shine in her work. It is rare that an artist is so adept at capturing the spirit of the world around her in the multitude of mediums Duff has mastered. Then again, with such an illustrious career to date, we've come to expect the vivid, flowing and fun colors and shapes that constantly emanate from the tips of Duff's brushes.
Duff shows her work Saturday and Sunday in the Art on a Whim gallery in Breckenridge. She will be demonstrating her techniques, as well as showing off a collection of works in her "Bent Tones" and "Here's Cheers" series.

Toasted Coconut Granola
Simple and only a little sweet, this Irish Pantry granola gets a fatty boost from shredded coconut and chopped cashews. Why make your own granola? Because it's ten times more delicious than anything in the store, that's why. And when you're done, you have a whole pan full of it.
Excerpted from Irish Pantry by Noel McMeel (Perseus Books). Copyright (c) 2013. Photographs by Steve Legato. Excerpted by permission of Perseus Books. All rights reserved.
- Yield:makes about 5 cups / 500 grams granola
- Active time: 10 minutes
- Total time:1 hour
- 1 cup / 240 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 cups / 270 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup / 75 grams cashews, chopped
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Spread the coconut onto a baking sheet in a thin layer. Bake it until barely brown, about 5 minutes. It's usually done when you can smell it. Remove the toasted coconut from the oven and set it aside to cool, and lower the oven temperature to 300°F / 150°C to preheat for the next step.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, cashews, and toasted coconut. Warm the honey, oil, vanilla, almond extract, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Simmer for 5 minutes, taking care not to let it boil, then remove the pan from the heat.
Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture and stir well with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are coated. Spread this mixture in a thin layer over a large baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, then stir and flip the mixture. Repeat the 10-minute baking time, then stir again, repeating until the granola is well toasted. (This usually takes about 50 minutes total baking time.)
Once toasted, let the granola cool on the baking sheet, stirring occasionally. When cooled, the granola stays fresh in the refrigerator for about a month, or at room temperature for about 2 weeks.

'"It was not a good experience," Kennedy said. "I don't want to say lies on their part, but just stuff that came out. They're a team that's up against the cap and they won't put me on re-entry because even though my contract's so low [$550,000], even the slightest bit would put them over the cap. They didn't want to risk that, so I was stuck in the minors the whole year no matter what."'

Sources say BP expected to admit to criminal misconduct in 2010 spill
The sources, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said that BP will plead guilty in exchange for a waiver of future prosecution on the charges.
BP and the Justice Department declined to comment.
BP has been locked in months-long negotiations with the U.S. government and Gulf Coast states to settle billions of dollars of civil and criminal liability claims resulting from the April 20, 2010, explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig that killed 11 workers and fouled the shorelines of four Gulf Coast states in the worst offshore spill in U.S. history.
It is unclear what form of criminal misconduct BP will plead guilty to. In an August filing, the Department of Justice said "reckless management" of the Macondo well "constituted gross negligence and willful misconduct," which it intended to prove at a pending civil trial set to begin in New Orleans in February 2013.
It is also unclear whether the deal will resolve any civil charges brought by the Justice Department, and how large a financial penalty BP might pay to resolve them.
BP has previously adamantly denied any suggestion that it was grossly negligent in the disaster, a charge that could trigger billions of dollars in penalties under the Clean Water Act.

What New Year's resolutions would you like an Econsultancy blogger to make?
Before the New Year gets away from us, I want to make some resolutions as a blogger.

10 things marketers should know about Medium's new publishing platform
Those that have used Medium (300,000 have published there) know it to be a slick and enjoyable tool.
But now Medium has decided it's a platform and not just a social network for writers.
So, what should marketers know about Medium?
Think affiliate marketing doesn't work for luxury brands? Think again
Sadly, for years affiliate marketing has been seen as the poor relation of the digital advertising family.
Tracking networks and technology companies typically selling the channel as a no-frills, "no-win no-fee" way to pad out marketing plans.
10 common online copywriting mistakes
Anyone can be a writer these days. All you need is a computer with an internet connection and a tenner to spend on a domain name.
The problem is: anyone can be a writer these days.
Google's got it right: Instead of bribing bloggers, sort out your website
On Friday, Google explicitly stated what it expects from bloggers who receive free products (read the blog post here).
In a nutshell: a prominent clarification of a commercial relationship, a no-follow link and content that isn't suspiciously hotchpotch.
We already knew this, so why has it peeved some SEOs?
Yet another (paid) opinion piece about Huffington Post's blogger relations
The editor-in-chief of Huffington Post UK caused a mini Twitter storm last week when he told Radio 4 that unpaid journalism is more authentic, more real than a paid column.
This ignited pretty much the same debate that raged when HuffPo was sold to AOL in 2011. Many unpaid bloggers suddenly felt aggrieved that their work had lined Arianna's pockets.
But in 2016, this gaffe is more a lesson in PR than it is a chance to re-examine the economics of publishing.
Why 80% of SaleCycle's B2B content marketing failed
Like many companies, in the last 12 months the main focus of our marketing strategy at SaleCycle was to produce content. And lots of it.
However, on further inspection it turns out we might have been focusing on the wrong metrics.
Five questions every content marketer needs to answer
The content marketing gold rush doesn't seem to be slowing, and articles advising brands they need to jump on the bandwagon continue to plague the internet like timeshare salesmen in 1970s Spain.
But does your brand really need content marketing?
Maybe. Personally I'm pro-content, but I also don't believe enough thought goes into why and how brands are doing it.
Dear marketers, stop using generic stock images
It's annoying that in 2016 a headline like this is still relevant. We've all poked fun at silly stock imagery, but it seems once the laughter fades some of us continue regardless.
I'd put it up there with meaningless buzzwords as one of the uglier sides of marketing that refuses to die.
And while it does provide people like me with ammo for our snark guns, it is also incredibly offensive to look at.
How creative SEO can deliver big wins for luxury fashion retailers
According to our friends at Google, the most searched for fashion term in 2015 was "How to walk in heels".
This may come as a disappointment to fashion brands who have been told search is all about sales.
Customers were NOT hungrily Googling the latest pictures from catwalks in Paris or Milan and working out where they could 'get the look'.
Could the 'pay what you want' principle work for publishers?
Pay what you want (PWYW), sometimes called 'pay as you feel', is a principle whereby consumers choose how much money they want to give in return for a product or service.
I can already hear you scoffing and clicking the back button, but hear me out: publishers need to be constantly experimenting with different ways to make money, particularly with the rise of ad blocking, so why not consider this approach?
What is online reputation management and should you use it?
"You're getting a bad rep, young man. Smoking in the toilets. Bunking off early. Listening to rock and roll music. What are you rebelling against?"
"What have you got?" you reply as you kick-start your motorcycle and zoom off to an early death, leaving a trail of dust and alienated friends behind you.
You think you're so cool, and you probably are, however your brand isn't in the business of selling cool... Unless of course your business happens to sell air conditioning units or Ray Bans... Unfortunately your business sells bespoke handcrafted scratching posts for kittens, so that argument is moot.
You're giving the wrong impression.
And by 'wrong' I mean one that you didn't want to give when you started out and continues to develop.
Reputation management is about creating a perception of your brand, one that you're happy to cultivate and present to the general public and one that falls in line with your own goals.

Federal data is growing at an alarming rate, fed by mobile technology, smart sensors, cloud services and mobile and online interactions. What's more, much of this data is unstructured - data like video, audio, email, sensor data, text messages and social media posts. Unstructured data is much more difficult to store, process and analyze than traditional, structured data from databases and transactional data. The challenge for government agencies is how to use this growing cache, referred to by many as "big data," to drive better decisions and solve problems.
Read this Buyer's Guide to learn how big data analytics can solve government information challenges, along with what to look for in a big data analytics solution.

One of the most useful options available in Word, the active spell-check, comes packed full of easy to use features to make spelling errors disappear with a simple (right) click of the mouse. Of particular significance are the "Ignore All" and "Add to Dictionary" options. Both options allow a user to tell Word's active spellchecker to ignore all instances of a word or set of words, which Word may erroneously mark as misspelled (i.e. people and place names,) with only slight differences with the way in which both option accomplish their tasks (i.e. "Ignore All" only tells Word to ignore these "misspellings" for a single session.)
Obviously quite handy to have, having these options suddenly go missing from Word's active spellchecker can be quite a blow to productivity.
If you find yourself unlucky enough to have these options disappear from your Word spellchecker, worry not: there is a way to get this all important functionality back by making a few modifications to Word's dictionary files and shortcut settings.
To regain the "Add to Dictionary" option in Word, follow these steps:
(Note: as mentioned in the title, this procedure works in Microsoft Word 2007, but may vary slightly in other versions.)
1. Open Word and press the big round "Office" button in the upper left corner.
2. At the bottom of the menu which appears, press the "Word Options" button.
3. In the Word Options dialog box which appears, select proofing from the left side menu. The Word Options window will change to display available Proofing Options.
4. Under the "When correcting spelling in Microsoft Office programs" heading, click the "Custom Dictionaries" button. The "Custom Dictionaries" dialog box will appear.
5. In the Dictionary List portion of the dialog box, select any dictionaries which are listed, and delete each from the list by clicking the "Remove" button.
This will remove any incorrectly set and/or possibly corrupt dictionary files from being referenced by Word in the future.
6. Once the Dictionary List has been cleared, click the "New" button. You will be prompted to create and save a new custom dictionary file within the Microsoft Office data folders on your computer. Enter in the name you wish to give your custom dictionary in the "File Name" field, and click the "Save" button to create your new dictionary file.
7. With your new dictionary file selected, click the "Dictionary language:" drop down box, and select the "All Languages:" option.
8. Click "Ok" in both the "Custom Dictionaries" and "Word Options" dialog boxes, shut down and re-open Word.
9. Right click a word/set of words you would like to have added to the dictionary. The "Add to Dictionary" option should now be available once again in the right click context menu.
As mentioned earlier, the "Add to Dictionary" option offers the same functionality as "Ignore All," without the session limited usage rules. However, if you absolutely must have the functionality of the "Ignore All" feature, but the option is still not available after fixing the "Add to Dictionary" feature, you will likely need to obtain Administrator rights (if you do not already have them) and attempt a repair or complete uninstall/reinstall of Word 2007 to fix any corrupt file(s) which may be causing the "Ignore All" option to malfunction.

Last week I put some patties on as a test on some weak colonies,
So to answer my question, does that mean that I must add the patty in addition to the sugar?
So I figure that the middle to end of march is a good idea.
Do you have a recipe or is it just one of those wing it until correct consistency things?

'The Sabres lasted another round, and then came the backroom politics. Muckler, according to several reports, had been in an apparent power struggle with coach Ted Nolan, hired at the start of the 1995-96 season, and team president Larry Quinn. Nolan was also upset that Muckler hadn't offered him a contract extension, and had started looking for another job. Muckler was shown the door in mid-May.'

Sometimes I really enjoy cooking basic everyday food. It just makes me feel good, and generally speaking my kids are more likely to eat it. The exception to that rule would be my youngest boy. He thinks basic food is good, but unusual expensive food is wonderful. He loves to ask for sushi on his birthday.
Tonight I based my recipe for the chicken and potatoes on an America's Test Kitchen show I watched a few weeks ago. Since I am going by memory I cannot claim it is the same way they prepared it, or that it will taste as good. I assembled the green beans and the potatoes while the chicken finished cooking in the oven. Also, I used freshly ground black pepper in all of these recipes. I believe the meal would have been quite bland without it. This is a base recipe...feel free to add your favorite seasonings. I think dill would be a great addition to the potatoes.
The best part of this meal is that it is super easy and is ready to eat in 40 minutes.
Baked Chicken Breasts
4 bone-in chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and peper to taste
Boar's Head Deli Dressing or your favorite Italian dressing
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Heat oil in large skillet. I used an electric skillet and heated it to 375F. Cut the ribs off of the breasts and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. When the oil is heated place breasts in oil, skin side down. Cook until well browned (on this side only) and then transfer to oven proof pan, browned side up. I used a 9x13 inch pan. Bake in oven until internal temperature reaches 160F. Be careful with the smaller breasts, as they will be finished cooking first. I removed 2 breasts early and then the others cooked another 7 minutes. Lightly sprinkle with Boar's Head Dressing before serving.
Fried Red Potatoes
1 1/2 pounds red potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Clean and cut potatoes into quarters. Add to microwave dish and toss with salt, pepper and olive oil. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir, return cover, and continue cooking another five minutes. Heat non stick skillet on medium high to high. I used an electric skillet and set it to 375F. Pour potatoes into skillet and place with flat side down. In other words. not on the skin side. Allow to brown, about five minutes and then flip to brown the other side. Remove from heat and lightly sprinkle with Boar's Head Deli Dressing or other italian dressing.
Green Beans with Garlic
1 medium onion, chopped fine
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cans green beans
salt and pepper to taste
Saute onions until translucent. Add garlic and continue cooking for a minute. Add green beans and when heated sprinkle with salt and pepper. Do not over cook or stir after adding beans. This will result in mushy broken green beans.

Wireless Networking (Wi-Fi) makes it easier for people to use internet on computers, tablets, mobile phones and other wireless devices without using cables. The bad part about wireless networks is that someone can steal your bandwidth and access internet using your broadband whether they are sitting in a car, neighboring building or outside your apartment.
It is a bad practice because it decreases your internet access speed, increases your monthly internet bill and creates a security hazard from the possibility of other hacking your computers.
To secure your wireless network, you need to access your wireless router's settings. To do this, all you need is to type into your browser 192.168.l.l and input the correct username and password for the router. Next is to create a unique password on your router. Once you have done that, it's time to change your network's SSID default name.
This setting can be found on the basic wireless settings on your router's settings page. Consider enabling network encryption and reduce the range of the wireless signal.
To ensure your router remains secure, it is important to upgrade your router's firmware. To do this, you need to check manufacturer's site occasionally to find out whether your router has the latest firmware. You can also check the current firmware version on the router's dashboard at 192.168.l.l.
If you are suspecting that an outsider has connected to your internet without your authorization, you can find out on your router's administration page using 192.168.l.l and check for the DHCP clients table. View all the computers and other wireless devices connected to your network under Status>Local>Network.

Green Bay head basketball coach Brian Wardle quickly named the first member of his staff after he was hired in April 2010, and Wardle turned to college teammate Brian Barone. Wardle and Barone were college teammates at Marquette University for two seasons (1999-00, 2000-01).
"Brian is a great basketball mind who comes from a highly-regarded basketball family," Wardle said at the time of the hiring. "He is a multi-dimensional coach who has brought a lot of new ideas and enthusiasm to our program. Having a former teammate and a great friend on the staff is a blessing."
During his time at Green Bay, Barone has made an imprint on the program through his coaching and recruiting. In his first few weeks on the job, Barone helped the recruitment of All-Horizon League big man Alec Brown.
A former college point guard, Barone's tutelage helped Keifer Sykes have one of the top freshman seasons in Phoenix history in 2011-12. Sykes earned All-Horizon League newcomer team honors as a freshman after averaging 11.2 points. Barone helped Sykes' adjustment to the college game, and the freshman responded by averaging 14.7 points in the team's last 17 games.
Barone spent the previous two years at Indiana University as the Hoosiers' director of basketball operations/video coordinator, working under his college head coach Tom Crean. He went to IU in 2008 after serving the 2007-08 campaign as the coordinator of basketball operations and video coordinator at Marquette.
Barone's first Division I coaching experience came at Illinois State University. He spent four seasons (from 2003-04 through 2006-07) as an assistant coach for the Redbirds where he helped resurrect a program that had just eight wins the year prior to his arrival.
Barone also has experience in the junior college ranks. He spent one season (2002-03) at Garden City Community College in Garden City, Kan., and one year (2001-02) at Central Florida Community College in Ocala, Fla. He helped guide the Patriots to an overall record of 21-11 and a Mid-Florida Conference Tournament Championship. The squad also advanced to the NJCAA Region VII semifinals.
Playing for his father, Tony Sr., Barone played his first two collegiate seasons at Texas A&M University. He was tabbed honorable mention all-conference as a sophomore following the 1997-98 season after finishing among the league's top five in assists and steals. He also received GTE Big XII Academic All-Conference accolades as well.
He transferred to Marquette for his final two campaigns, making his debut in 1999-00 after sitting out one season as a transfer. Barone served as team captain during his tenure and was also named to the Conference USA All-Academic Team.
Barone earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Marquette in 2000 and completed his master's work at MU in the same field in 2002.
Basketball runs in Barone's family. His father, Tony Sr., played collegiately at Duke and was the head coach at Creighton, Texas A&M and the Memphis Grizzlies. His brother, Tony, Jr., has been a college assistant coach and works as a scout in the NBA.
He and his wife, Mimi, were married in August of 2007 and have a son, Carson, and a daughter, Ava.

Turkey: Cheaper but Not Cheap Enough, Says UBS
In dollar terms, Turkish equities lost 28% of their value last year, making it the second worst performing emerging market after Peru. Political turmoil brings the Turkish stocks down another notch this year. The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) lost 1.6% so far.
Currently, MSCI Turkey trades at a 14% discount to MSCI Emerging Markets, down from a 9% premium last April.
Turkey has become cheaper. Is it time for us to take advantage of the political risk and increase our holdings now?
Not so fast, says UBS strategist John Orford, for two reasons:
Firstly, while Turkish equities are undeniably cheaper, we believe they still don't offer compelling value, especially when one considers that much of the discount sits in banks that are not particularly cheap relative to EM banks. Secondly, our macro colleagues are cautious about the near-term outlook, expecting more turbulence in currency and bond markets. Historically, a re-rating in banks has required lower bond yields. Given our cautious macro stance, that seems unlikely in the next few months.
Plus, lira is likely to weaken further. UBS laments that the Turkish central bank is not proactively hiking rates to stem the loss in lira:
First, CBT has persistently favoured a reactive over a proactive stance on inflation , and recent communication (e.g. December…"data did not indicate a notable change in the underlying trend of services inflation") suggests this hasn't changed. The CBT appears reluctant to tighten much further as it views inflation as primarily supply-driven, and as growth conditions are considerably weaker than its previous tightening campaign in early 2012. Second, we think that the political climate is likely a factor constraining monetary policy decisions.
And politics are not helping either. Until Turkey is done with its elections, the equity market is unlikely to re-rate:
After a relatively long period of calm, Turkey now faces two, possibly three elections this year, with political tensions having escalated in recent months. Municipal elections are due on 30 March this year, Presidential elections by mid-summer and parliamentary elections next year.
The risk for markets is that a moderation in political tensions, which is probably a pre-condition for a sustainable rally in Turkish assets, has been postponed until after municipal elections at least.
Basically, we were advised to sit on the sidelines.

From reluctant participant to savvy Miss New Hampshire
By ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent | August 26. 2013 11:36PM
Samantha Russo, 22, of Nashua, reacts after being crowned the new Miss New Hampshire by outgoing titleholder Megan Lyman. (APRIL GUILMET)
During her reign, Russo said she has spent a lot of time helping others as she prepares for the Miss America pageant.
"I chose my platform because I've watched members of my family struggle with their tobacco addiction my entire life," Russo said. "I want to do everything in my power to educate our youth on the dangers of tobacco and how tobacco companies target them to become new users. Tobacco-related diseases are the number one cause of preventable deaths in New Hampshire, the United States, and the world."
During the two weeks, and especially during the competition itself, Russo said she is excited to have the support of her friends and family.

Hello Alamo folks,
I was sight-seeing along the Information highway a few days ago and ran across a most interesting website blog. It is Web Link Alamo Unincorporated.blogspot.com.
The name of the person who runs this blog is not readily apparent (the email address is email@example.com), but this blog-person is wise and astute, fair and balanced, and has many incisive things to say regarding Alamo Incorporation.
The most recent posts are with regard to the opposition website and this blogger points out a number of irrationalities contained therein.

Heyya guys-
So as I'm getting closer to "finishing" up my Fett (is there such a thing?), I noticed that my BM cod and kidney armor doesn't meet while worn, thus not allowing for the studs that connect them.
I would like to submit my build for 501st approval at some point -- does anyone know if this will be called out for not being film-accurate? I know it's pretty obscured during most scenes, but wanted to gauge if I'll need to swap it for pieces that do.
Thanks in advance....

A West Jordan man has been charged after police say he stalked a woman for 12 years.
The 35-year-old man was charged Wednesday in 3rd District Court with five counts of stalking, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of a year in jail for each count.
A woman told police that she has received sexually graphic emails from the man for 12 years. She sent the man an email asking if he would leave her alone if she agreed to meet him, and he did, but with the stipulation that she perform oral sex on him, according to the charges.
They arranged to meet at a church parking lot next to the man's mother's home.
On April 4, she parked by the church while a police officer waited nearby. As the man approached the woman's vehicle and tried opening the door, the officer took him into custody.
After his arrest, the man admitted to the police that he had been stalking both her and another woman.
The second woman started receiving sexually graphic emails at work from the man last July, the charges state. She believed he was a former high school acquaintance. She told him he had the wrong woman and to remove her from his contact list, but she kept receiving emails containing the same graphic messages, the charges add.
