How responsible do you feel for it all? Reflecting on his recent trip to Denver for the Bivocational National Conference, Mark shares how even after all the lectures, sessions, workshops, and meaningful conversations, one solitary moment sealed all others: it happened Sunday morning on a Colorado mountain with an insight about God, the world, and how our calls to ministry - in the church, in the marketplace, in academia - are invitations to play in all that God has called into being.
Then Mark sits down with Dr. Marion Taylor of Wycliffe College to talk about how we interpret the Bible. Editor of The Handbook of Women Interpreters, Marion expounds in Part 2 on factors that allowed Catholic women's writings to endure where those of Protestant women didn't and why European women enjoyed more posterity than women in North America. She talks about how even as many literary women wrote fiction that would become timeless Western classics, their stories were rooted in Scripture and faith, and she gives us a roadmap into how we might read women interpreters' worldviews. She tells us how women influenced social justice and shaped a culture, and shares how when we uncover lost writings of women, we recover a cohort of mentors for a new generation.

SpaceTop 3D transparent computer unveiled at TED 2013
At TED 2013 in LA, a transparent computer has been revealed which could shake up the way we create and design.
A user sits in front of what looks like a traditional PC monitor, and place their hands beyond and behind the screen to scroll and type. Users can then lift their hands up to reach the virtual 3D elements and directly manipulate them with their hands.

The BBC spoke to TED fellow Jinha Lee who has been working on the machine, and who can see it being used in the industry within ten years.
"The gap between what the designer thinks and what the computer can do is huge. If you can put your hands inside the computer and handle digital content you can express ideas more completely," he said.

Chicago Bears fans will tell you that the biggest story coming out of Thursday's game was the fact that Brandon Marshall and Jay Cutler showed once again why they are easily one of the best quarterback-to-wide-receiver combinations in the NFL. However, the Bears' success is hardly a bigger story than Eli Manning, who's turning in one of the worst seasons of his 10-year career.
In fact, Manning has been so ineffective that he's on pace to set a New York Giants' record with over 25 interceptions in single season. Not to mention, the Giants are 0-6 for the first time in franchise history as the "Fire Tom Coughlin" chants are getting louder and louder. Manning gladly took the honor of being called an "Elite" quarterback when he helped the Giants win two Super Bowls, so it's only fair that he take a few media hits on the chin now that New York finds itself in the cellar of the NFC East.
With Peyton Manning having a historically great season and Eli Manning on pace to have a historically awful 2013 campaign, you have to wonder if the "Manning Super Bowl" will ever happen — it's safe to say that we all have our doubts.
5 Reasons Why the 0-5 New York Giants' Season Is Already Over

The Vatican Bubble
Posted by Don McLenaghen on May 27, 2012
Members of the Vatican's bioethics advisory panel have called for its board to resign after scientists who don't support core church teaching on issues like birth control and infertility were featured at its annual conference.
Pontifical Academy of Life's Feb. 24 conference on diagnosing and treating infertility was a "Planned Parenthood-like meeting" that caused great scandal. They were upset because it was a Vatican meeting open to the public yet "consisted in promoting uncritically what the church teaches to be intrinsically bad."
The Pontifical Academy for Life is a Pontifical Academy of the Roman Catholic Church dedicated to promoting the Church's consistent life ethic. It also does related research on bioethics and Catholic moral theology.
Founded in 1994, the Academy is dedicated to "study, information and formation on the principal problems of biomedicine and of law, relative to the promotion and defense of life, above all in the direct relation that they have with Christian morality and the directives of the Church's Magisterium"
In the past, the academy invites only like-minded professionals to speak at its conferences to ensure a consistency in moral views. The participants were expected to provide scientific advice but advice 'faithful' to the catholic doctrines. However the academy's new president seems to be too enlightened. He decided to be a bit more open with the advice the academy was receiving by inviting people who did not necessarily share the churches view on conception, natural death, etc…
At the February conference five of the first seven presentations dealt with the pill, artificial insemination and in-vitro fertilization from a purely neutral standpoint, neglecting any moral references.
This enraged some of the academies members. The rector of Academy of Philosophy in Liechtenstein wrote the academy was "losing its full and pure commitment to the truth and its enthusiastic service to the unreduced magnificent church teaching on human life in its whole splendor."
He continued "This alone is a great evil for a public congress sponsored by (the academy) because a neutral scientific description of methods of infertility treatment has absolutely no place in our academy, which was explicitly founded to deal with these matters in the light of anthropological, theological and moral truth".
The academy's co-ordinating secretary rejected the criticism stating "the academy was a scientific research institution "open to dialogue with the scientific world."
However this may reflect a growing dispute within the Catholic hierarchy as Pope Benedict pushed back against some of the modernizing reforms of Pope John Paul and attempts to return the church and ALL its institutions, such as religious orders, hospitals and academies, to a more traditional Catholic identity.
In March, it hastily cancelled a stem cell research conference whose speakers included scientists whose work involves human embryonic stem cells, which is opposed by the church.

Die Kreuzen
0 Shouts - 561,232 Scrobbles
Die Kreuzen (prouounced Dee-Kroytzen) formed in mid-1981 by vocalist Dan Kubinski and guitarist Brian Egeness aka "Herman," from Rockford, IL, and two from Brookfield, WI, bassist Keith Brammer and drummer Erik Tunison. They became acquainted through the varied Milwaukee 'new music' scene and realized a common interest, not only music but also in escaping the boring reality of nine-to-five life.Read More...
They set about practicing and playing wherever and whenever they could, and seizing every opportunity to broaden their horizons by playing out of town (i.e. Minneapolis, Chicago, Madison, Indianapolis). Their name was chosen specifically to avoid stereotyping, because "no one knows what it means". -- Keith Brammer "The band's name is broken German for "the crosses" and was from a German Bible." -- Brian Egeness
Their first recorded output was two songs on Noise magazine's Charred Remains cassette compilation, followed by three on The Master Tape compilation LP. This and the ensuing press in Milwaukee and especially elsewhere led to the release in late 1982 of a 7" on the Version Sound label, entitled Cows & Beer, the title being "an in-joke on peoples' preconceptions of life in Wisconsin". This proceeded to sell out two pressings of 1,000 apiece, and is incidentally a much sought-after collector's item, prompting them to undertake their first tour of the South and West Coast in the summer of 1983.
Upon returning, they were greeted with the news that Touch and Go Records wanted to release an album, which for various reasons did not appear until July 1984. This 21-song self-titled LP then proceeded to sell upwards of 13,000 copies in the U.S. and Europe, and is still selling today. The release was followed by two years of repeatedly touring the States and Canada and gradually, through word of mouth and press of all sorts, spreading their name everywhere.
Gradually their songs were changing, their sound evolving and maturing. This was exhibited on their second LP for Touch and Go Records, October File, released in May 1986. Two more years of slow but steady songwriting and touring, helped along by positive critical response resulted in the release, in July 1988, of their third Touch and Go Records album, Century Days.
Progress, variety and melody are the key words here, adventurous songwriting accented by diverse production and outside help from horns without losing the band's trademark drive and excitement. Attractive packaging, multiple formats (11 song LP, 12 song cassette, 13 song CD), international distribution and increased airplay helped Century Days do very well.
After more extensive touring and various side projects, the band flirted with some new record labels but eventually released their fourth LP for Touch and Go Records in 1991, Cement. Of course, the band resumed touring in support of their new album.
On April 1, 1992, Die Kreuzen disbanded amid much conflict when guitarist Brian Egeness decided to pursue other interests. "He had different things to do, a different agenda." Keith Brammer said.

Shifting Towards Impact: The metrics conversation continues…
[tweetmeme] A partnership between Guidestar and Hope Consulting was announced in a press release yesterday, which also included the names of eight individuals on an advisory council for conducting research on charitable giving. Our very own Kat Rosqueta is involved in this effort to provide better data, insight, and strategies for practicing high impact philanthropy.
"Hope Consulting is planning a variety of research methods, including qualitative and quantitative research and market testing."
This statement reminds me of a conversation on SocialEdge in which Charles "Hipbone" Cameron discusses the dichotomy of quality vs quantity as it relates to data and metrics in the realm of social entrepreneurship. In a more recent SocialEdge conversation, Beyond Metrics, Sean Stannard-Stockton pushes the conversation towards a donor's need to learn about high-performing nonprofits, to maximize their donations. A recent post on Bob Ottenhoff's blog discussed how this new partnership will improve upon the existing data available on nonprofit performance.
Another member of the advisory council, Jacob Harold of the Hewlett Foundation, gave a shout on twitter to the recent Money for Good reports, conducted by Hope Consulting.
"The Hope Consulting "Money for Good" study is getting a lot of play at #SoCap10. Congrats, @hopeneighbor!" – @jacobharold
Both Kat and Jacob are currently in attendance at this year's Social Capital Markets Conference in San Francisco. In fact, Jacob also tweeted a line from Kat during the Tactical Philanthropy panel, Individual Donors Practicing Unconstrained Philanthropy, hosted by Sean Stannard-Stockton.
"Kat Rosqueta: high-input philanthropy vs. high-impact philanthropy #socap10" – @jacobharold
In response to this quote, philanthropy consultant and speaker Jay Frost (@GordonJayFrost) asked, "What does that mean exactly?"
While I can't answer this question in under 140 characters, I will attempt to give meaning to the above statement based on what Kat has talked about in previous discussions around impact. "High-input" philanthropy can be described as large donations going to a particular program or cause with the focus solely on the amount of money donated but not so much on the impact it achieves. A current example could be the Giving Pledge, which encourages America's wealthiest individuals to donate a majority of their money towards charitable causes. To quote from Kat Rosqueta's article in the Philadelphia Social Innovations Journal:
Too often, people focus exclusively on cost ("Look at how much this program spends on overhead!") or exclusively on impact ("Look at how much good we're doing!"). Costs and expense ratios are meaningless if not understood in the context of what that spending creates. A focus on impact, without consideration of costs, prevents donors and nonprofits from:
- asserting meaningful benchmarks ("this is what we've found it costs to increase child survival rates in this village");
- celebrating well-earned efficiencies ("by adopting this practice, we've managed to increase the rates of child survival at this same cost"); or
- identifying opportunities to do more good with the same resources("if we could figure out how to lower our transportation costs, we might be able to increase rates of survival at the neighboring village as well").
"High-impact" philanthropy can be described as "the practice of making charitable contributions with the intention of maximizing social good. The aim is to make the biggest difference possible given the amount of capital invested."1 In other words, getting more bang for your buck. Here is an example from Rosqueta's October 2008 commentary, Philanthropic Triage During an Economic Downturn: Linking Financing to Impact:
To make capital allocation decisions, philanthropists and nonprofits need to look at their "costs per impact" to understand how much it costs to produce the good they create. Imagine, for instance, that Children's Literacy Program A requires $100 for every at-risk kindergartner enrolled in their program. That $100 per beneficiary figure is two times the cost per beneficiary of Children's Literacy Program B, which serves very similar children in the same city. That disparity is not surprising. Program A has invested in professional staff who are trained in research-based literacy instruction and serve as mentor-coaches to the kindergartner's teachers, while Program B relies on community volunteers who have been given eight hours of training and who typically work with the students in once-a-week pull-out programs.
Of one hundred kindergartners who receive Program A's services, 40 percent more will be reading by third grade than would have been expected to do so without the program. Of the one hundred kindergartners enrolled in B, however, 15 percent more than expected read by third grade. Their respective cost-per-impact profiles indicate the differences in both their respective costs and success rates. For Program A, the estimated cost for each incremental at-risk student reading by third grade is $250. For Program B, the estimated cost for each incremental at-risk student reading by third grade is more than $300.
Now, if my goal was to increase community involvement in our schools, then Program B is a better choice. But if I had $250,000 and wanted to see more at-risk kindergartners reading by third grade, Program A clearly delivers bigger bang for my buck, despite its higher cost per beneficiary and likely higher overhead ratio.
This conversation around impact and metrics is far from over but it is a great step forward for the sector. Peter Burgess,a regular commentor on our blog, has also joined the discussion on his Community Analytics blog.

In Japan, corn is seldom sold fresh on roadside stands with homemade signs. Here, it is food for a beach barbecue or is sold from stalls at festivals. And it is the soy sauce brushed on it as it is grilled that gives it the taste and scent Japanese get all nostalgic for.
It is good, too, it is just not what my nostalgia is all about: Otty summers, a handful of us sitting around shucking a huge mountain of fresh corn.
Here is what I picture:
It's one of those rare, cool Otty Lake days and we are wearing more layers than we have all summer long. Tom and Chris, just back from Algonquin, are still wearing the hats that are mandatory for the entire week of camping.
I'm doing what I usually do back with my family: listening. Chris and Tom are yakking away and Chris, corn ear as yet completely untouched, is the one talking up a storm, with Tom periodically chipping in. It's some guy story thing they are mulling over, so I am in truth partly far away in Tokyo.
Then there is Pat off to the side, with Nick, warmly wrapped in a towel, in her arms. When I look at the pair of them, the immense sweetness of her holding him hits me right in the heart and takes me back to when I was 4 or 5.
When you are a child you can play in the water for what seems all day and will argue mightily with the adult who tells you it is time to come out. Yet once your feet reach shore you are suddenly exhausted and cold. It's okay, though, because your mom or an aunt is there and they have been paying attention and saw you get out and know just when the change happens and they come to you, wrap you in a towel, and hold you. That's what a mom, or an aunt, does: notice.
Mom is right there with us, in our circle, but she is also turned slightly out a bit, as though her radar is picking up Pat, too, behind us who is cuddling Nick.
Just before Mom called us all out front to shuck the corn, we had been on an expedition, following one of our new fascinations -- identifying trees. We'd gone deep into the pasture to parts we don't often, explorers looking at a familiar world in new ways: bark and leaves and shapes and colors and scents were compared and discussed and argued over. In fact, we could settle on most, but the leaves in Mom's hand had two possibilities and Mom was, as so often, the one to see just how the final puzzle piece fit into the right place.
I think of that scene years later, in Japan, and so many patterns and ghost sensations rise within me. I see Mom busy doing at least two things at once, as always. I see her perched between two spheres: young motherhood behind her, and lifelong learning in her lap. I can hear Chris's voice speeding up and rising a bit the way it does when a stream of seriousness is running through him and I feel Tom wait for a pause and bridge the stream with a "Well, you know...," in his storyteller's drawl. I am enjoying the touch of the crisp outer leaves of the ear of corn in my hand and the satisfying rip and final reluctant tug as I remove them. The corn silk, in long, purling skeins and snug, too, around the smooth teeth of the kernels are textures my fingers remember as Summer in Otty and my senses are fully caught up as I forget, for a moment, the stories going on around me.

I started this blog a while ago, and began typing up an elaborate (non-)manifesto, which was to be the first post, except that it proved to be unwritable, more or less.
So I'm doing something in a humbler vein.
I guess mostly I just want to engage with contemporary popular culture in an effort to locate and/or draw out revolutionary political potentials? But also to subject the reactionary ideologies that predominate to a thoroughgoing critique. I don't think it's hopeless.

Conversation with an area anarchist:
Him: "… basically, we're fucked."
Me: "Yeah… but that at least posits a 'we'!"

This is all for now, and hopefully, enough.

Metal Gear Solid has changed a lot over the years.This is the installment of the series less derivative. Many basic aspects of the format has been changed. Ground Zeroes is designed to familiarize players with the tide of change: the character's life regenerates alone (with the exception of an emergency spray should use if you get a lot of damage), no no radar, no boxes, no change items with the triggers, you can not knock on the wall to attract the guards, although there are lockers, and you can not get into them, and so on. On the whole, the title completely left behind, to some extent archaic control settings to adopt a modern (perhaps the solution to roll on the floor is my only complaint). The result is nearly flawless: we will have complete freedom of movement, camera and unprecedented agility to change weapons by now selected with directional cross. I must confess that even in Metal Gear Solid 4 , the control scheme of the franchise seemed like a limitation, but a good basis on which to develop a style of play. The new tone reminds me more of a arcade experience, seems to be designed to encourage players to exercise those 2 large lost in contemporary gaming values: memorization and speed run.
The primary mission, for example, took me exactly about one hour. I alerted the enemy 3 times, I did not die once, i rescued three prisoners. When you finish, your reward is to play it on Hard and get access to 4 more missions. As also found all patches XOF (If you need help finds the patches don't forget to check out our location guide), extra sole mission is unlocked PlayStation versions of Déjà Vu–but we will talk about it later.
Finish it on Hard, on the other hand, it took me half an hour. I did not alerted the enemy, and went all stealth, but the total actual time is closer to 3 hours, then tried to pass the mission without restarting (of accomplishment, rather than rank A, would surely have obtained S). From there on out, the side missions last between 13 and 20 minutes each, depending on how much want to explore its possibilities. For example, you should Classified Intel Acquisition recognize a infiltrated the base by its Photography (All enemies have a different face). After it you approach him, he will tell you do not have your piece of information you need, but will tell you where to get it, but if you do otherwise the results will be very interesting to receive an additional bonus. In fact, in most of the missions there is a similar event that gives extra points.
I recommend paying attention to the intricate field that Kojima Productions prepared, as many of his best surprises are on the patient and daring variations tested again and again. In a perfect world first successful attempts, Ground Zeroes would last four hours, however, the strategy of trial and error probably consumed at least 8 hours or more of my time. The funny thing is that the percentage of completeness states that 34% took the title. Get a higher figure depends, then, to finish the missions in Hard (unlocks the difficulty then passing them on normal), get bonus score when performing certain actions, achieve goals and make all enemies on the map, complete missions undetected or get the range S.
I extracted all data directly from the title, as its own section dedicated to high scores. All these design cues reveal how they want developers play their creation, for example, are penalized by killing enemies in 5 of the 6 missions, your points also lower if the alarm sounds, you lose helicopters, if you use the reflex helps (when you discovered, if enabled, will all slow motion and have a few seconds to neutralize the enemy). Take control, put Ground Zeroes and waiting an action title, although its precise style controls The Last of Us and the like, is to completely ignore the developers guide. In a way should be found to restart the mission urge us to aspire for a higher score to finish. After that fight is not only inelegant act for a franchise like Metal Gear , but negatively affects our final evaluation.
As for level design, the base has a fine, complex and interesting shape, but even so you can nag, for all missions take place there. While some are of the day, with a different climate or're hovering overhead in a helicopter while shooting everything that moves, sooner or later you will get tired of playing the same level. Not the fault of poor design, as this is gorgeous, but the nature of the game, which confines the player to the same place for at least 8 hours.
The missions have varied objectives and employ field creatively, but not all have the same care and quality. In terms of plot, are actually a tangle of events that were forced to relate to each other. The only one that has real relevance to the world of Metal Gear Solid is the principal. Its design is also the most brilliant. While their goals-they rescue Chico-Paz and are not the most original, the execution is what counts. In this section, both the level design and the control scheme is a perfect cufflink to provide dozens of options to complete the rescue. From sneaking into the back of a pickup truck, killing all slip unseen, find alternate routes, trigger alarms on purpose, cause explosions and such, Ground Zeroes shows that can be a big open world title, but for its size look more like a diorama.
The technical aspect is impressive (in Déjà Vu mission even joke about the unfailing stability of Fox Engine). Although the mission set shows some imperfections day, night and dusk fit perfectly with the qualities of the engine developed by Kojima Productions graph. The expressions of the characters are compelling, the animation is supreme Snake (my favorite is when you land crouched and gets chest), lighting and detail is impeccable there is evident in every inch. Load times are almost nil, except for iDroid-apparatus employing the Snake for a map, listening to tapes and meet the objectives of the mission, which takes too when to upload images.
The narrative aims to present a more somber and sober and more crudely topic. The resources to do range from classics remove elements, but funny, franchise (like boxes, the exclamation point warning when enemies your presence, etc.), and a visceral plot and who is not afraid to be eschatological (as is tradition) or graphics. The issue of torture plays an important role, as well as betrayal and the complex political situations to which we are accustomed to the series. Ground Zeroes lacks the lush treatment of other creations Kojima and changes all that by a fantastic video introduction and an ending that makes it abundantly clear that the intention is to present and generate buzz for The Phantom Pain.
In addition to the primary mission, secondary mission of PlayStation consoles, Déjà Vu, is the most complete. Not only was it took me longer, but fans of the franchise will love it because of all the details that developers hid in the military base. In Japan I had the opportunity to try the mission consoles Microsoft, but it was too little time to give a fair verdict thereon.
As for the dynamics of the game, you will notice that the freedom of mobility they allow Snake bolder strategies. The level design also encourages risk to gain valuable seconds that will enhance our final score. Perhaps the first time you complete a mission you feel awkward, you run down and you end up killing (barely) half base, but as you look perfect your score you will become necessary, infallible and know perfectly the strategies that work and not. The design of Ground Zeroes requires repetition: it asks to play all the missions many times to master their execution. Something shines in this title and promises that The Phantom Pain will be great if it solves the main problem of Ground Zeroes : the environment and the reaper game limited approach to the plot. We are facing the best control scheme for the franchise. Perhaps the dynamic has changed dramatically, but something screams Metal Gear Solid hard. After spending almost 5 hours a title on 2 separate occasions, I can safely say that fans will be hungry for more.
Some years ago, Penny Arcade joked about how Konami was generous enough to include an extra game with the demo of Metal Gear Solid 2 . The title was Zone of the Enders and cost the same as "complete" any other game. A significant number of fans paid their money just to enjoy the demo of MGS2 . Many played it over and over ad nauseum. This time they will not buy something they do not care or pay the price for the full game. The rest of the players will probably decide to wait for the full experience will be The Phantom Pain or play and enjoy Ground Zeroes . I recommend the latter course of action, because good design should always be the main reason to buy a game or not.

Any updates on the ability to clone? I didn't notice any mentions on the blog.
Is there still a possibility to have this service, as an extra?
In other words, si possible to have a restore from a previuos backup (vplink backup, not mine) situation of the entire VPS?
If yes, how much will cost this operation?
I can confirm that cloning functionality remains a priority for our development team, however, we have several large projects in the queue which have a higher priority.
We do have the option to restore your VPS from a backup copy if needed - please open a ticket with our support department for further information.
Hi DanL,
I have opened a ticket asking a quotation for that service.
Here the answer i got (ticket 1518341):
We recommend clients to find their own backup medium for their VPS
needs. You could backup to a local computer, or use a service such as
Amazon's S3.
Could you check that my english in the question was right to see why I got this strange answer?
It appears as though our technician was firing off an old standard reply in that ticket (though it is still our recommendation that you maintain your own backups, particularly if you know you may need them) - I will follow up with our support manager to ensure that our technicians keep this in mind.
Backup restoration is listed at our Support Policy page and there is a $50 per incident service fee, so the initial recommendation to store your own recent backups as a regular aspect of system administration remains a good idea.
I have all the backup data, but is a matter of speed.
I was asking also how long will take a restore from the ticket to the online status.
Restoration time will vary greatly depending upon the size of the file(s) requested for restoration or your disk utilization and plan level - I have requested that our support manager update your ticket with information appropriate to your account.

I have met very few people in the gaming industry who don't believe in the importance of listening to their gaming customers. In fact, I believe that my company's simple mantra of "Find Out What Your Customers Want and Give It To Them" has been at the heart of our success because it reverberates with the beliefs of most casino executives on the value of these listening posts. And yet too few casinos religiously, effectively and comprehensively monitor feedback from their casino customers, especially their best casino customers.
So what's going on here? Why the disconnect???
Well, I believe this is a situation where the "spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Most casinos want to listen to their customers, they try to listen to their customers and might even believe they do listen to their customers. But from my experience, all of that "GOO" (budgets, meetings, reports, employee issues, etc., etc., etc.) gets squarely in the way of really listening to our customers. It's kind of like listening to our car radio when driving out in the country. We'd like to hear the song, but the static from the radio is too high!
So I have given this great thought and I have analyzed the casinos that do a pretty good job of gathering and effectively using their guests' feedback. So I'd like to share my thoughts with you now. I believe it's pretty important stuff.
Important Principles for Listening to Your Customers
1. Consistency Is More Important Than Any Single Tactic – whether you are listening to your customers through organized focus groups, exit surveys, customer advisory boards or just good old fashioned "one on ones" on the casino floor, it is more important that you keep doing it on a regular basis than using any one specific magic listening bullet.
2. A Comment Card Program Does Not Qualify As A Listening Program – comment cards, no matter how well marketed or used, tend to attract participation from either your very happy or your very upset customers. It is hard to make important, strategic business decisions by listening to the "fringes."
3. The GM Should Dedicate Time To Listening To Live, Breathing Casino Customers – whether it's just walking the casino floor or hanging out during the VIP event or the promotional drawing, the GM needs to hear from real casino customers. He or she will get a definite earful. And it will put real meaning into those charts or numbers on "guest satisfaction" that come across the cherrywood desk.
4. Some Customers Opinions Count More Than Others – sure, you care about keeping your "two-bit" customers and your buffet goers happy, but let's face it. The 80/20 Rule applies and the opinions of your best customers count more than others. So listen mostly to your best customers.
5. Listen Hard To What Your Customers Are Really Saying – I have never been to a casino where its best customers did not say "the slot machines have gotten tighter since the casino first opened." This is the natural result of playing "negative expectation" games over time. But that doesn't mean you automatically go out and loosen your slot hold percentage by 1% (a huge expense!). But maybe it means they want more nickel machines, or machines with a higher "hit frequency," or just want to feel like a winner when they do win (congratulations, celebrations, "way to go," etc.). So listen hard!
6. Have All of Your Casino's Executives Listen To Your Customers – when I last worked for a casino property, one of the best exercises that we did was to have all of our senior executives call good customers who hadn't visited in the past year (and find out why). Oh sure, several execs hated the exercise, but the information we gained was truly eye-opening. So make sure even the CFO gets piped in to your customers!
7. Listen To Your Employees Too! – sometimes we think it is just about the customer customer. But employees are customers, too. And not only are they piped in to what customers are saying, but these employees are critical to the success of your tribal casino, often having ideas and suggestions worth thousands or even millions of dollars!
8. Now That You're Listening, Act On The Information – remember, the deal is to find out what your customers (and employees) want, so that you can give it to them. So when they tell you to fix the restrooms, do it!
Take these principles to heart when listening to your customers at your tribal casino. You may just find that they have no reason to go to the casino down the street because "Hey, they never listen to me!"

Hp Pavilion G4-1200 Drivers
How to guide about downloading Hp Pavilion G4-1200 drivers right here for free so you are able to install a hardware device or peripheral and have it improve its performance. Drivers are basically just little files that contain strict instructions so that the CPU can use it in order to actually use the hardware that the driver file relates to. Without appropriate drivers the hardware is useless and cannot be utilized. You will have to have precise driver files downloaded and installed on your Windows desktop or laptop computer so that you may be able to use the device.
All hardware devices have drivers that need to be installed in order for the hardware to be utilized. These particular devices can be a keyboard, disk drive, smart phone or any other device that can be connected to a computer system in some form or another.
- BRAND: Hp
- MODEL: Pavilion G4-1200
- SYSTEM TYPE: Personal Computer
- OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10
It is because each device is different from one another, every single driver file must be different, too. This is why it can be difficult to locate your Hp Pavilion G4-1200 drivers. For instance, every Olympus camera needs its own specific driver to work right. You can see why it can be quite difficult to find drivers available to download only for a particular manufacturer of hardware devices.
Locating the proper Pavilion G4-1200 driver is a tedious task at best. A few tips to help make your life easier.
- Device brand name (if it's built into the computer then you just need to determine the brand of the computer)
- Now you need to find out the model or model number.
- The version of Windows operating system. (look in Windows start menu right-click on "My Computer" or aka "Computer" and then you should left-click on "Properties". OS info should now be visible)
- You will have to know if you have a 32-bit system or a 64-bit system. (if your operating system is 64-bit it will be stated in the box that pops up when you right-click on "My Computer" or "Computer" and left-click on "Properties". )
It is imperative to figure out the model and brand of the piece of hardware and OS version . Once you have all of your information about the brand and model of your device you should now start your search for Hp Pavilion G4-1200 drivers and get them downloaded and installed on your PC.
A good company will list their driver database and make it available for people for use on desktop and laptop computers. Not all branded websites are in the correct language and use with any efficiency. Some companies do not take the time to take the average consumer into account and the difficult task of attempting to install drivers. A lot of human being have a tough time figuring out what driver they are searching for and attempting to find their way through a poorly constructed website can be torture.
You can never be too careful when downloading Pavilion G4-1200 drivers and files from non-brand sites. In order to lower your risk for malware, it would be best to only download drivers from the manufacturer's website if it is possible. Malware can be ruthlessly disguised as just about any type of file found on the Internet. Getting and then installing a file that you think is a Pavilion G4-1200 driver can be the biggest mistake of your life if you unintentionally installed a virus onto your system. There is no antivirus program that can remove every single virus on the Internet. Because of this, it is always best to go to the maker's website. The hardware maker's site is more trustworthy for you and your computer than other random websites offering similar files.
After you located then downloaded from a reputable site the real driver from online for the hardware you are looking to install, you should then install it. After getting the file it may need to be uncompressed if the file ends with .zip, .7z or .rar. After uncompression (if needed) you may then have to run the program and that will install the driver. In some circumstances it could be that you might have to install the Hp Pavilion G4-1200 driver another way.
Instructions for installing Hp Pavilion G4-1200 drivers manually:
We make every effort to make sure every link is working as it should.

Bridging Access Platforms
Ajax Bridging Access Platforms are typically designed to bridge the gap between a loading bay and a vehicle load bed when loading and unloading goods.
The Platforms are used extensively in warehouse loading docks and distribution centres to help keep operators safe when loading and unloading at height.
Project: Bridging Access Platforms Installed for Warburton
The Bridging Access Platforms have a robust construction, which are fabricated from mild steel and coated in a hot dipped galvanised. This method completely protects the Unit from any harsh environmental elements, making it suitable for both corrosive and chemical conditions.
In addition, the Platforms have an aluminium non-slip tread plate decking for an improved safety under foot when walking across the surface in dry and wet conditions.
The drop range of motion that the Bridging Platform has is ideal for vehicles with varied load bed heights. The Platforms can drop below a horizontal position allowing lower load bed vehicles to still have safe access.
For an easy operation, the Platforms are gas strut assisted and are available with fixed or folding handrails as an optional extra, for improved safety.

Whatever happens, happens for the best?
I remember when i was preparing for CAT, in the probablity class i asked my really brainy and philosophical faculty "Sir, kisi cheez ke hone ya na hone ki sambhaavna jaanne ka kya auchitya hai?" My faculty laughed it off and explained it to me later in a very philosophical manner that everything happens for a reason. The reason I am pondering over this today is that is it a mere method that human beings have created for themselves to stop questioning when they cannot further find answers to their questions and when rationality gives up. Or is it something that actually happens. Why does it happen that at times we want something and end up with something else? Or is it that we don't pay attention to things when we get what we want? Whatever it is, at times we are very unsure of whatever is happening to us, around us and fail to find the reasons. I hope time gives us the answers. And whatever happens, actually happens for the best. :)

Spider in its Web
An unsaid monologue
With my own self
Happening since many days
And I am being told that I am
Not what I show I am
I am a spider
Entangled in its own web
Trying to find its way out
Still scared that the web might break
Praying hard that it should
Still scared…..
Wondering what caused it to make
Its very nature so complex
And it is trying to find its way out
All these revelations happen one at a time
Or all in one go???
Spider cannot understand
It is caught in a web
Which is its world
And it wants to break free
Of the shackles that bind it
Yet it's scared…

Chaos Unplugged...
Well, i start my blog today with nothing much to write. There is silence everywhere. And yet chaos all around. Noise-black in color, silence-trying to be white... clouds of truth, clouds of lies, all waiting to rain. Stopped by an unknown force. Gathering the strength and trying to fight each other and then ultimately it will be a rain with drops grey in color. Will keep posting about the chaos in silence. Ciao :)

(black raspberries) have distinct antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that appear to inhibit tumor growth." according to the Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science.
Portland, OR (PRWEB) March 06, 2014
Berri Products LLC, a leader in providing high-quality black raspberry products to clinical trials and directly to consumers, has supplied black raspberry powder to Ohio State University, where a team of food scientists used it to make black raspberry candies for use in clinical trials at Ohio State's Arthur G. James Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Yael Vodovotz, PhD, a food scientist with The Ohio State University Department of Food Science and Technology, was challenged by researchers to create superfood-based products that could be used in their clinical trials. The products needed to retain high levels of bio-actives, be easy to store and use, and be available year-round.
To meet this challenge, the team at Ohio State University produced black raspberry gummy candies, and a concentrated fruit nectar. The candy and nectar were formulated using freeze-dried black raspberry powder supplied by Berri Products LLC. The company works directly with their partner farm to produce quality berries, and then uses the whole berry when making their powder, including the seeds and fiber. The ability of Berri Products to deliver a high-quality black raspberry powder using the whole berry allowed for researchers to better capture all of the nutrients of the berry in their formulations.
The black raspberry, grown primarily in Oregon, is prized by researchers for its high levels of anthocyanins and polyphenols. According to the Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science, "(black raspberries) have distinct antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that appear to inhibit tumor growth."
Berri Products uses specialty black raspberries farmed by their partner Don Sturm on his family farm, perched above the stunning Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. His sustainable growing and harvesting methods have been finely tuned to maximize the quality of the berries he picks. Berri Products black raspberries have been widely studied in clinical trials and in cancer and inflammatory disease research.

About Berri Products LLC and BerriHealth
Berri Products was founded in 2009 by Steve Dunfield when he teamed up with leading researcher Gary Stoner Phd, Emeritus Professor Ohio State University, and third generation farmer Don Sturm of Sturm's Berry Farms. This unique combination of skill and knowledge was used to create a black raspberry powder that is used by medical research universities across the United States to advance clinical research in many fields.
Berri Products has now made the same berry powders and extracts available directly to customers through their website, http://www.berrihealth.com, and has continued to innovate with new products using the black raspberry. Through their partnership with Sturm's Berry Farm, the company has also started exploring the use of other quality berries to create signature powder blends.

Fridays used to be my favorite day. Growing up, you looked forward to being out of school for the weekends. Then there was Friday night Football and then basketball in High School. We had the Friday night "sock hops". Yea, I know that's ancient. In college, we always looked for the Friday night parties. After a week of studying, the weekends were our goal. Then I started work, and Fridays signified the end of the workweek. That is until I became a pilot for Delta. Then Fridays were just another day, and for many years were the beginning of my work week. In fact, the reason I started running in 1980 was I needed exercise that I could do alone. At the time I played tennis and a little golf. The problem was I was working every weekend when my friends were off. When I was off, they were working. I started running because I could do it when I was off. It didn't depend on anyone else's schedule. But I still liked Fridays. As our girls got older, once again we had football, basketball and all the weekend stuff. Now we do other things on Friday nights. Friday night is when we schedule most of our Sozos.
For those of you who don't know, the word Sozo is Greek for saved, healed and delivered. We have a Sozo ministry at RiverStone that works with people, helping them to deal with issues in their lives that are giving them trouble. We do this by trying to listen to what the Holy Spirit is doing. Our job is to connect the person to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We do this through many methods. Anyway, that's where I am tonight. We only have one appointment tonight. It is a slow night, and I am down in the office doing homework for BSSM, and typing my blog. Fridays are usually fun. But not right now.
Fridays haven't been fun for a while. It was 3 weeks ago today (Friday) that Julia went home to be with Jesus. All day that Friday I was with her. We had many people praying. I'll talk about that day another time. I'm not ready to go into the details yet. But it was a Friday that she died. I didn't realize it last week. I did notice that I was a little bit more down, but just a little. But this morning it hit me. I just don't like Fridays right now. I'm sure that over time I will begin to like them again, but not right now. There are too many painful memories that are awakened by just the thought of it being a Friday.
So, today hasn't been a very good day. There has been heaviness on me since I got up this morning. Even going to work, I could just feel the loss. There is no anger, no bitterness, but a deep sense of regret. Regret that she is not here. Regret that I should have see her sickness sooner. Regret that I'll never get to hold her. So two or three times today, I've let myself go there, to that place of loss. But I can't stay there, I can only visit and grieve. If I stay there I'm afraid that I would be in a downward spiral. No, I have to force myself back. I have to go back to what I know to be true. God loves me. My children love me. Many others love me. I have to look at the goodness of God. I have to let that goodness, like the radiation from a fireplace, warm me through and through. With that warmth, I can continue to press on into the destiny and calling that God has for me. I wish that I could express this so that everyone reading this could understand. It's OK to feel loss, and express grief. The point is that even in the midst of grief, we have to readjust our sight. We have to raise our eyes and focus on the goodness of God. The heart knowledge of his goodness and grace must be primary to all we are called to do. He is our anchor in times of trouble. An anchor that brings us back into all that we really know to be true, even when we don't feel like it is.
I feel like I'm just rambling tonight. So I will end with this. Fridays seem bad right now. They won't always feel like this. Someday soon, I will look forward to Fridays again. But today is not that day.

Give the app the calorie count, it'll give you exercises to burn it off
Salah L, Rose R, Chantal C
This app provides users to be able to see how harmful snack foods really are. It takes a given input of calories and returns a list of exercises you can choose from to burn off the given calories along with tutorials and tips for the workouts.
Today, people try to be careful with what they eat by being aware of calories. However, many snack foods come off healthy and have the calorie count to back it up, but most people don't take into account how many servings are in each package and may find themselves taking in maybe double or triple the calories they thought they were taking in due to the fact that they consumed more than one serving in the package.
We plan on having our users be able to scan food items they're thinking of buying so that they can see just how much work they'd have to put in just to burn off the extra calories being taken in. Our app will be set up in a way so that the user can input the calories in their food and the app will return the nutrition facts including a calorie count and basic nutrition values as well as a list of suggested workouts that would burn the calories in a set number of minutes.
We found it difficult at times to work with the PhoneGap developer as well as the common debugging. We also ran into an issue where we had to code on one computer because we would come across instances where a feature would work in one person's code and not the other and vice versa.

www.audioasylum.com under cables. do a search for bob crump and you will find your answer.
Anyone have any experience with Raven or Cabasse tweeters? Both have VERY high sensitivity(96-98 dB/2.83V). Do they exhibit any tendency toward brightness, breakup(they shouldn't), harshness, etc(all the problems that soft domes solve). I stopped building speakers right about the time both became bigger in this country. This is my main concern for these tweeters. One day I will build a high sensitivity speaker, specifically designed for SET amplification. Kimon Bellas(of OrcaDesign - US parts division of JMLabs) is responsible for bringing Accuton, Cabasse, Focal(don't like their tweeters), and Raven into the US. Hard to find a better guy in audio than "Frogman". The Accuton is a delightfully smooth sounding tweeter. A serious concern is the lack of durability of the Al2O3(alumina) cone. Very brittle, and not able to be repaired. Although, if do have one break, you can buy a replacement cone, as opposed to a whole new tweeter.
Try the Seas Excel Millenium if you can bear the thought of a less expensive reference tweeter. Most people think the more expensive product usually wins, but this is not always the case. Its virtues are see through transparency, clarity and are virtually non-fatigueing. Tweeter on the Harbeth Monitor 40 look familiar, you got it, only that one is modified by Harbeth of course. Still a heck of a bargain at about $145 each, in my opinion.
Hello: I am completing a speaker project right now with the Raven R1 (older version). So far the results are mixed with the sound very clear and extended, but a little bright for my tastes. However, it may be a midrange problem more than a tweeter problem. Yes, the output is very high, but with the correct L-pad, you can control the level fairly easily. I have tried multiple crossover slopes from 6db to 36 db and from frequencies from 2000hz to 4000hz with good results. The tweeter seems to have an unlimited output that can take more power than I can. I've noticed that some very high priced speakers feature this tweeter. Raven also makes two larger ribbons that can handle the midrange also, but are very pricey.
I would say your initial results are encouraging. Especially, in light of how different a driver this is. Integration is more difficult than with a simple cone(especially) or dome tweeter. An L pad is a good start. But, once you nail the correct resistance value down, a good Ohmite(or like) 10W wirewound resistor will sound much better. Will even tame some of the brightness, if the tweeter is at all responsible. Have you tried running the tweeter without a capacitor in series? It seems that this may be one instance where the driver is well suited to handling all that is incoming. At least, it could be tried. Which midrange are you using? The crossover will take some balancing to keep the tweeter and midrange from outrunning each other. Good luck, and please keep us informed
