Charles N'Zogbia
CHARLES NZOGBIA insists the team spirit among Aston Villas young players will keep them in the Premier League.
The French star, whose brilliant free-kick secured Sundays 2-1 win over West Ham, believes the way they battled out the final minutes could be a big turning point for Paul Lamberts troubled side.
And NZogbia, who fought winning battles to beat the drop with his previous club Wigan, says he can recognise the signs of another successful survival campaign.
He said: I have been through this situation before and I just know we have to keep working together and keep believing in our football and in our players.
Sometimes the fans will be against us, but all we have to do is stick with the manager and the players and hopefully, because we are all working in the same way, it will be good for the team and everyone at Villa.
We have the mentality that we are going to win more games now and the secret is that you have to stick together as a team and never let people down.
The manager is a good man who believes in all the players and all we want now is to keep working hard in training and also in all the games.
NZogbia, 26, had made little impact at Villa since former boss Alex McLeish paid £9m for him at the start of last season.
But in the last few games he has finally started showing his best form and current manager Lambert hailed his free-kick winner as world class.
NZogbia said: I dont know if you are seeing the real me now but I am enjoying what I am doing.
I just try to do my best to try to stay in the team and help to win matches.
I had an injury for six weeks, which did not help me, but I trained hard to make sure I could come back strong and fit.
The whole team now has a strong mentality and knowing we can score goals is good for us.
I had been working hard practising that free-kick in training and I was just glad to see it go into the goal in a game.
I have been hitting the post and all sorts, but this time I had the luck.
We deserved to win the game against West Ham because our performances have been getting better lately and if we keep doing the same things, then we can be OK.
It is important not to look at the table, whether you are further down or higher up.
You just have to focus on playing the next match and if you do that, and you win games, then at the end of the season your place in the Premier League will have taken care of itself.

| Debrand W810i Hey there, I was wondering if there was a way to debrand a W810i without having to buy a clip. I'm sort of short on cash and I wanted to get rid of cingular's restrictions on the phone. I found the firmware for W810s (W810_R4EK001_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49.rar and W810_R4EK001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED49.rar) but i'm not sure if these are going to work well or not. If there's a free solition, that would be great. Let me know!! |

| Hey there! While I was waiting for a reply I found another way to do it which worked pretty well. It's also a LOT easier than the method that was linked in this post. I'm going to go ahead and list the steps. (Props go to Lemming @ forums.se-nse.net) Step 0: Download the USB Flash Drivers from: Here and extract them to any folder you like. Once you get XS++ working and your phone in flash mode, it will ask for these drivers. Step 1: Download XS++ http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=6805 Step 2: Download MAIN and FS for your phone. (Mine was a W810i branded with Cingular) You can find them at TopSony or http://www.iprotebe.cz Step 3: Extract files and connect phone. Just follow the instructions on XS++ to connect your phone. After that's done, just browse to your MAIN and FS files that you just downloaded and click the check box on "Customize File System", select the phone model you have, and then click the language that your FS supports (in my case, AMERICA2). That's it, just click flash and let it do its thing!! *Note* This process can take up to 5 hours!!! (Took 2.5 on my phone.) So make sure you have the time and the battery to complete it!!! Enjoy you guys!! This is MUCH easier to do than the other process, and it's FREE!!! Oh yeah, and I used W810_R4EK001_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49 and W810_R4EK001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED49. The process worked 100%!! Keep in mind that in theory, this process can be used for any other RED49 phone. I havn't tested it, but it should work. |

| @ yousaf22us 100% tried and tested 3 pieces, mine, my brothers and a freinds all were done with mediterr firmware re tutorial @ first ( which works fine if u dont mind ure fone being romanian by default but can change language time zone etc in phone settings), then i used my local FS and MAIN and got my cda back to normal etc. i wouldve thought the BF method in XS was on the same level as xs-xs-far-xs non bf method, cheers though 4 inputs @war6763 WELL DONE M8, 4got about that method because it takes so loooong. once you master the 4 easy steps it takes to de-brand without bruteforce it takes approx 12 mins max. and thought you be best to try that way as u will get sick and tired of BF very soon if you want to start making your phone the shizzle. and you only do 3 off the 4 steps when putting files on fone, 1) open XS- flash breakloader = 5 blocks and takes 2 seconds, once 5 blocks are sent just click the X to close XS as it "appears" to hang but hasnt. 2) open FAR- upload accoustics, camdriver,flash menus, set up flash standbys etc etc = aslong as it takes you to drag and drop files to correct paths) 3) open XS- flash main .mbn takes about 2.30 mins 344 flashblocks.(finalizing) @THE CLASH thanks for encouraging the dude, hope it will do the same for others. do you know where i can get a patched w810 firmware?? as i see you are a very resourcefull dude respect to all //s |

| Oh yeah, just letting you all know, it took about 7 hours to brute force my phone second time around it needed to be done... It's a nice backup plan, but i'd use the other method if it works for you... I get the stupid error... |

Spring 2011 Fashion Trends: Blush shade of nude - soft & pretty colour for the new season!
- Browse More: Fashion Trends
- Season: Spring 2011
It's pretty and fresh, and guaranteed to brighten up your new season wardrobe.
Last season the talk was all about nudes and neutral shades - this season we are seeing a new "nude" shade emerge as one of the top trends. We associate blush with a rosy colour of nude, and that's exactly what you will find below. It's not quite pink, and not quite nude.. although the effect is the same as nude.
Color trends are easy to incorporate into your wardrobe, as you can to choose a style that suits you! From simple minimalist dresses, item jackets, frothy gowns.. or even basics like tops & blouses. For the office, pair a blush blouse with tailored black trousers, or how about a sharp little blush jacket with gray? In the summer, white & blush will look terrific.
You don't have to avoid blush if you don't feel it matches your skin tone (not all colors are for everyone) - and that's where accessories come in.
You can easily combine a blush handbag with your all-black ensemble right now for a fashion forward transitional look - or replace your nude sandals with blush this season.
Sophia Vergara looked amazing while shopping in Los Angeles wearing a fabulous Diane von Furstenberg blush leather jacket.. and how about Hilary Swank in her asymmetric blush gown by Versace at the 2011 SAG Awards? Both winning looks below.. and available online!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Wednesday approved Sanofi's (SNY: Quote) multiple sclerosis drug Aubagio as a once daily tablet for the treatment of adults with relapsing forms of the disease.
In a clinical trial, the relapse rate for patients using Aubagio was about 30 percent lower than the rate for those taking a placebo.
The drug contains a Boxed Warning to the risk of liver problems, including death, and a risk of birth defects. Physicians should do blood tests to check liver function before a patient starts taking Aubagio and periodically during treatment. Also included in the Boxed Warning is an alert noting that the drug may cause fetal harm.
The most common side effects of Aubagio experienced by patients in clinical trials include diarrhea, abnormal liver tests, nausea, and hair loss.
Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that disrupts communication between the brain and other parts of the body. It is among the most common causes of neurological disability in young adults and occurs at least twice as frequently in women as in men. For most people with MS, episodes of worsening function (relapses) are initially followed by recovery periods.
Meanwhile, European health officials are anticipated to decide on Aubagio in the first quarter of 2013.
SNY closed Wednesday at $43.26, up 0.19%, on a volume of about 3.2 million shares on the NYSE. In after hours, the stock gained 0.69%.

Each credit union is an integral part of the community it serves, whether that community is made up of cities and towns, a workplace or a community formed by people who share an interest of some kind. Unlike for-profit financial institutions, credit unions are cooperatives that exist solely for the purpose of providing for the financial needs of their members. Therefore, it is quite easy to understand how naturally Social Responsibility comes to credit unions. The Association actively supports and encourages credit unions in their community outreach efforts. In support of those efforts, the Association maintains a committee on Social Responsibility. The purpose of that committee is to develop a unified plan of social responsibility for the Association through recommendations to the Association's Board of Directors. That plan features programs and events that focus statewide efforts on designated charitable and community activities and that enhance the positive image of credit unions as well as the public's overall awareness of them. Special Olympics Rhode Island The Association has established a very strong relationship with the Special Olympics Rhode Island since 1998. Through a variety of events and activities, the Social Responsibility Committee through the Association provides a vehicle through which the credit unions of Rhode Island can combine resources to address the needs of more than 2,500 athletes who participate in Special Olympics. To gain a better understanding of the fine work that this organization does, please click on link to visit their web site www.specialolympicsri.org.
Fundraising Goal In September 2010, the Social Responsibility Committee established a fundraising goal of $54,000 for the Special Olympics Rhode Island and presented a check for $55,000 to the Special Olympics Rhode Island at the Credit Unions of Rhode Island Charity Golf Tournament on Monday, July 18, 2011 at Crestwood Country Club in Rehoboth, MA. Since 1998, the credit unions of Rhode Island have donated more than half a million to the Special Olympics Rhode Island and have helped inspire greatness for these special athletes.

National Credit Union Recognition Programs Since 1987, the Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Recognition Award has honored credit unions for their charitable works in their communities. Some credit unions have ongoing programs and establish a special relationship with local social service agencies or school programs. Other programs address many different needs in the community. No matter the size or scope of a project, each participating credit union builds its reputation as a good corporate citizen along the way.
Credit unions enter the Dora Maxwell Award program in one of eight asset categories or the chapter/multiple credit union group category.
Beginning in 1990, the Louise Herring Award for Philosophy in Action has commended credit unions that make exceptional efforts to include credit union philosophy in their daily operations and member service. Programs that provide financial education to particular member groups within the credit union or special assistance to low-income members struggling to pay heating bills, for example, are clear examples of the philosophy that sets credit unions apart from other financial institutions.
Entrants in the Louise Herring Award program compete in four asset categories.
This year's national winners will be honored at the next Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington, D.C.
Click here for information on the 2013 Dora Maxwell and Louise Herring Award including their entry forms.
For more information, contact Donna Bevilacqua, director, Communications and Community Relations, at 1-800-842-1242 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Individual Credit Union Charities Credit unions throughout the state are making a major effort to support those less fortunate. Many imaginative and effective programs have been undertaken to support their communities. Credit unions have traditionally embraced the concept of "people helping people."

Suicide bomber disguised as woman kills five in Afghanistan
02/02/2006 - 07:14:37A suicide bomber disguised as a woman blew himself up at an army checkpoint in eastern Afghanistan, killing five other people and wounding four, police said today.
The blast occurred in eastern Khost province yesterday as soldiers were checking the assailant's vehicle, said Mohammed Ayub, the regional police chief.
The attacker was sitting in the back-seat of the vehicle and detonated explosives hidden under a woman's all-encompassing burqa shroud when soldiers asked to see his ID, Ayub said.
Three soldiers, the driver of the vehicle and a farmer working nearby were killed along with the bomber, Ayub said. It was not clear whether the driver was an associate of the assailant or an innocent victim. Three soldiers were wounded, as well as a second farmer.
Police initially reported on the blast late yesterday, but they said it was caused by a land mine and that only two soldiers were killed.
Ayub accused the Taliban of being responsible for the attack.
"The bomber probably wanted to go into Khost city for a suicide attack there, but panicked and blew himself up when the soldiers started checking," he said.
The bombing is the latest in an unprecedented string of suicide attacks in recent months. The tactic represents a new and disturbing security threat four years after the fall of the Taliban in 2001.

Gimmie Sommore Comedienne comes to Cleveland for history in the making
Life for most people, with it being filled to the brim with a myriad of trials and tribulations, is a formidable challenge where merely eating daily and maintaining a roof over their head is a major success.

Director 'plays' the race card right and makes his own Black History this month at the Play House
As part of The Cleveland Playhouse's Black History Month celebration, they welcome the first-ever production of Horton Foote's "The Trip to Bountiful" with an African-American cast. Since its 1953 inception, "The Trip to Bountiful" has changed hands quite a few times and was even made into a film in 1985. But, in the hands of Director Timothy Douglas, it will resurface in a light in which it has never been looked at before.

These anxious feelings that are sometimes composed of fear, self-loathing, confusion and isolation many times are only compounded by the fact that few people going through this cycle ask or reach out for help, in fact many will recoil from any form of aid that is offered to them.

While I didn't agree with all the points that he made during the debate, I found myself agreeing with a great deal more than I had expected. I kept thinking to myself that he was demonstrating a great deal of candor for someone in the government (PPS to Bob Ainsworth, Defence Secretary) and seemed willing to criticize the government at times. I put it down to him being an former soldier.
It wasn't until I was traveling home on the train that I checked the BBC News website on my phone (I'm a news junky) to discover that Eric had resigned from the government just minutes before arriving at the debate.
He clearly felt liberated.

Landslide hits Chinese school; 19 dead
BEIJING (AP) — All 18 elementary school students buried in a landslide were confirmed dead Friday, while one other person also died after a hillside collapsed and smothered part of a village in mountainous southwestern China.
The Tiantou Elementary School was buried Thursday when the hillside collapsed in Zhenhe, a village in Yunnan province, the Yiliang County government said on its website.
All 18 students who were buried in the school were confirmed dead, the government said. The official Xinhua News Agency said the body of a 19th victim was found Friday. It gave no details, but the county government said earlier that a person was missing from a house that had collapsed.
The government also said that a person injured in the landslide was hospitalized.
The landslide dammed a river, causing its water to pool 15 meters (45 feet) across and 7 meters (21 feet) deep around the buried area, hampering rescue efforts and forcing the evacuation of 800 other people, the government said. Rescue teams removed the blockage and the water was subsiding.
While officials have yet to give a cause for the landslide, that part of Yunnan province has been lashed by rain and is prone to earthquakes. A series of quakes last month left 81 people dead and devastated parts of Yiliang county, which are still recovering.
Thursday was a holiday across China, but the students who were killed had been attending school to make up for days missed after the quake, Yiliang officials said. Xinhua said their school was damaged in the quake and they were sent to Tiantou temporarily.

Trouble in Mind
By Frank Stasio and Shawn Wen
The play "Trouble in Mind" is currently in performances at the Triad Stage. It features a rare protagonist – an older African-American woman who boldly picks apart the theatrical roles that are offered to her. Preston Lane is the artistic director of Triad Stage and the director of the production.
He joins host Frank Stasio to have a conversation about producing this theatre classic by Alice Childress. Actors Cassandra Lowe Williams, Evan Thompson, Phillip Lynch and Harold Surratt also join in the conversation to perform scenes.

"Back Lash"
Ballet Art - Silver Prints
Taken over a ten year period at Ballet Arts Minnesota, Hennepin Center for the Arts, Minneapolis.
Polly Norman was born and raised in South Minneapolis on West Minnehaha Parkway. Her family moved to Edina when she was 12 years old. She is a graduate of Edina High School and Abbott-Northwestern School of Nursing. She worked in nursing (Neonatal Intensive Care) for four years at Children's Hospital. She married, had two sons and stayed home to raise them.
Norman began her photography career by volunteering to do public relations photography/writing for Our Lady of Grace School in Edina, where her sons were students. When the OLG community saw her photography, individuals began asking if she did portraits. She began taking pictures for private clients and attending photography seminars. Since then, Norman has run a residential studio for over fifteen years. Her career expanded into many areas including legal/evidence photography, photo illustration for newspaper and magazine articles and commercial/advertising photography.
As her photography progressed, she also started to do fine art photography and hand-coloring. This led to a growing desire to paint on blank canvas instead of an existing photo.
Norman has been painting for the past four years. She says because of all she learned as a photographer/hand colorist and because she grew up in an artistic family where she had an opportunity to work in various media, extending herself to painting was a natural choice.
Norman took various art courses in junior high and high school. Her parents had she and her three siblings train in piano and signed her up for various art courses at the Walker Art Center and semi-private painting lessons at a studio in Edina.
Norman's two brothers are musicians--her younger brother is also an artist/graphic designer. Her sister is a pathologist and has interest in continuing piano study. Her father is a published short story (fiction) and essay writer.
Norman says,
"One of my fondest childhood memories was when dad would pack the car with canvas boards, brushes and paints and take the four of us out to the country to paint a landscape, usually a farm scene.
He would set up easels for us and away we would go! The five of us would paint the same scene and come up with very different results. I had a shining moment during one of those sessions.
As a child I felt I could never do anything as well as my older brother. When we were out painting one afternoon, he kept looking back-and-forth at my half-done painting and his. He finally asked me if I would trade paintings with him. I glowed!

Fruit Bats
Fruit Bats
Despite their contemporary know-how, Fruit Bats conjure up nostalgic mid-century folk. Originally formed as a side project by singer Eric Johnson (then of I, Rowboat, and not Archers Of Loaf), the band hit its stride with 2001's Echolocation and has since followed a meandering trajectory of pure Americana. The 2009 album The Ruminant Band saw Johnson giving more breathing room to include his bandmates' varying styles, but Johnson recorded the Fruit Bats' new Tripper largely by himself, indicative of the stylistic shift towards a singular sound of sweet melodies—still reminiscent of his other band, The Shins—channeled through woven guitar lines, psych-pop flourishes and warm ambience.

Ask the Rental Pro: Subletting your apartment
By Justin Hammer
In the this edition of Ask the Rental Professional, Minot Regional Apartment Manager Justin Hammer offers guidance on a common question in apartment living: policies on subletting your rental.
Q: What is the policy and procedure on subletting your rental unit?
Within your lease agreement it should be outlined whether or not subletting your apartment is allowed or not.
At IRET Properties we do not allow subletting and it is actually a violation of your lease agreement. However, if you are planning to move out of your apartment and have someone that is interested in moving in, you should contact your Community Manager or property management company as soon as possible. A proper move-out notice still needs to be given and the new resident would have to go through the same qualifications as you initially had to. The process would be treated the same as a normal move-in and move-out but you would be able to possibly help out a friend by referring them to the management company.

Widening participation
The School of European Languages, Culture and Society is
committed to fair access and widening participation. At present, we
support these objectives in two principal ways at present.
Summer Schools
We run an annual Summer School in June that gives students of A level (and equivalent qualifications) languages the opportunity to attend masterclasses that work on their advanced linguistic skills, as well as giving them a flavour of the teaching of literature, film and culture at university level. We offer information about careers for Modern Foreign Language students and tips about getting in to the University of your choice, including the dos and don'ts of the personal statement.
If you or students from your school would like to register an interest in attending the 2013 Summer School, then please contact Dr Kevin Inston. Similarly, our staff are always delighted to come in visit to schools and speak to year 12 and 13 students, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if there is a particular topic that you would like us to come and speak about.
Small Fry Workshops
We also offer introductory workshops to both less and more- widely taught languages, aimed at year 8 and 9 students. These are available for Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Romanian and Spanish. They do not presuppose any prior knowledge and are designed to be fun, interactive and inspiring. We like to think that they will encourage students to think about taking languages at GCSE and beyond.
If you would like a Small Fry workshop to be held at your School then please get in touch. They can also be adapted for more advanced students with an interest in a particular lesser taught language, e.g. Dutch or Italian.

Michael Jackson Charity Work, Events and Causes
Michael Jackson wrote "We Are The World" with Lionel Richie in 1985 and performed it as part of an all-star single to raise money for Africa in 1985.
The Millennium-Issue of the "Guinness Book Of Records" names Michael as the "Pop Star who supports the most charity organizations", according to JacksonAction.com, which has an extensive timeline of Jackson's charity work.
In 1984, Jackson equiped a 19-bed-unit at Mount Senai New York Medical Center. This center is part of the T.J. Martell-Foundation for leukemia and cancer research. Later in the year, he visited the Brotman Memorial Hospital, where he had been treated when he was burned very badly during the producing of a Pepsi commercial. He donated all the money he received from Pepsi, $1.5 million, to the Michael Jackson Burn Center for Children.
In 1986, he set up the "Michael Jackson United Negro College Fund Endowed Scholarship Fund". This $1.5 million fund is aimed towards students majoring in performance art and communications, with money given each year to students attending a UNCF member college or university.
He donated the proceeds from the sales of The Man In The Mirror to Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times, a camp for children who suffer from cancer.
Jackson donated tickets to shows in is 1989 Bad Tour to underprivileged children. The proceeds from one of his shows in Los Angeles were donated to Childhelp USA, the biggest charity-organization against child-abuse. Childhelp of Southern California then established the "Michael Jackson International Institute for Research On Child Abuse".
In 1992, he established the Heal The World Foundation, whose work has included airlifting 6 tons of supplies to Sarajevo, instituting drug and alcohol abuse education and donating millions of dollars to less fortunate children.

Some of you might have been rightfully perplexed by an unlikely fan video we debuted last week on our Facebook page. For those of you who missed the video the first time around, here's your chance to view the video that's gone viral (in the Green Room/Revolution offices). The video features four straight-from-the-motherland Indian women dressed in traditional garb, dancing to traditional music in front of a sign that reads "GREEN ROOM FT LAUDERDALE". In case you were wondering if the video is actually being filmed in India, watch to the final 10 seconds. It becomes very evident that the dancers have never heard of the city of Fort Lauderdale, or shall I say "Eff Tee Lauderdale". Enjoy.

The Haralson County Development Authority (HCDA) wants citizens to know them better and how seeking mutual goals can lead to a more prosperous county, according to the authority's top officials.
"Our mission is to network statewide, prospecting for industries which will locate here and provide jobs, leading to community and economic development," said Tara Chapman, the authority's Executive Director. "We also work with the Chamber of Commerce on the needs of existing industries."
Chairman Donny Boswell of HCDA'S Board of Directors said, "The authority's main project currently is to fill the Georgia West Industrial Park near Buchanan. While not forgetting about those industries and businesses already here, we also try to identify for prospective industries existing buildings and empty tracts of land throughout the county."
"Georgia West came about through a public-private partnership," said Chapman. "We have one industry that has been in the park since 2006 – Suzukaku USA Inc., manufacturer of ATV parts for Yamaha, which has 25 employees and is the first Suzukaku plant in North America."
What does Georgia West offer to interested industrial firms?
"Water, natural gas, and fiber optics, with U.S 27 Highway and rail service easily accessible," Chapman said. "Providing a sewerage system can be challenging, but not overwhelming."
The largest tract of land available to prospective investors is 189 acres.
"We conduct regular visits to plants, and we have seen our existing industries grow in recent years," said Chapman. "The Development Authority takes great pride in all our industries. All are important corporate citizens, regardless of size.
"Honda Lock of Bremen has some 600 workers, one of the largest industrial work forces in the county, and is about ready to celebrate 15 years in Haralson County," said Chapman. "They manufacture vehicle locks and rear view mirror frames. They are good partners with communities in Haralson, Carroll, Douglas, Paulding, Polk and Cleburne Counties."
Honda Precision Parts of Georgia (HPPG) in Tallapoosa hired 79 workers in 2012, bringing its employee total to near 600. HPPG has been making transmissions here for shipment to Lincoln, Ala., and Ohio since 2006, said Boswell. HPPG located here after years of preparation and enticement by the HCDA, the Tallapoosa Development Authority and the City of Tallapoosa.
Chapman said that there are industries that locate here on their own, such as Custom Beverage Concepts of Tallapoosa and Bremen's Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems LLC.
Chasing industry is not always successful, admitted Chapman and Boswell, such as the case of Lowe's. The home improvement giant was courted vigorously for nearly two years, but finally said no to Haralson County in 2008.
"The Development Authority, the county and the state got aggressive with liberal inducements, but we could not agree on the final incentive package," said Chapman. "We celebrate our successes and build on what we learn from our disappointments."
"Could we take a more active role in attracting retail companies? Absolutely," Chapman said. "We have just completed a county-wide strategic development plan. Through this research, we heard a lot about retail. In conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce, we're trying to figure out how we can play a more effective role in appealing to retail establishments."
Boswell says retail opportunities are beginning to look encouraging.
"We really put Haralson County in front of prospects throughout the state," Boswell said, "and consequently we had a substantial upsurge in requests for information (RFI) in 2012," said Chapman.
In addition to Boswell, a 15-year volunteer, the HCDA Board of Directors includes Vice Chairman Danny Hutcheson, Karen Higgins of Buchanan, Treasurer Richard Davis, William "Pete" Bridges of Tallapoosa, Kenneth Smith of Bremen, and Jerry Lucky of Waco. Chapman is the board's professional advisor. They meet monthly in the Bill Nunis Room of the Haralson County Chamber of Commerce in Waco.
Boswell and Chapman agreed that public input can be very valuable in the pursuit of new industrial and retail companies.
"If anyone has marketable land or buildings, please let us know," said Chapman.
You may contact Chapman at 770-537-5266, or Boswell at 770-527-4157.

How willing are you to forgo cash in favour of job security or an agreeable work/life balance?
The results from Randstad's latest Global Workmonitor, surveying employees in 32 countries around the world, finds that while most Canadians work to live, an estimated 40 per cent of us are prepared to give up part of our salary if it means more job security. Overall, 43 per cent of global respondents agree, and the U.S. ranks similarly at 44 per cent.
"A lot of individuals haven't had a massive salary increase in quite a while. There's been some statistics released that state 2007-2008 is where we're seeing the average salary sit across Canada," says Stacy Parker, executive vice-president of marketing at Randstad Canada in Toronto.
Most Canadians (82 per cent) work to live, rather than live to work, on par with the global average. "These findings are consistent with our Randstad Employer Branding study of more than 7,000 Canadians last February/March," Parker says. "When I talk to executives, what I hear increasingly is the whole work/life balance issue really is not existent today."
It's hard to imagine job security in the modern age existing. If a healthy work/life balance is also becoming extinct, where are we heading?
"Canadians seem to be attracted to organizations that do have a greater reputation for job security, for instance, public sector employers are becoming more attractive," she says. "There's also a perception that an employer with a workers' union attached to it is becoming a more attractive option. And it's not just in Canada. Globally, job security is the most important thing to workers.
Work/life balance still important?
"In terms of work/life balance, what we're seeing with Gen-X and Gen-Y workers is they're not willing to compromise on their personal lives for their careers. They've grown up with technology and they understand that should enable them to have more freedom."
Compensation continues to be very important to Canadians workers, but it's definitely not the only thing that matters, remarks Ofelia Isabel, director, talent & reward, Towers Watson in Toronto.
"Our recent research confirms that there are things that are equally or more important, including career development opportunities, trust and confidence in senior leadership and even better retirement plans," she says. "We find that increasingly, Canadians value job security and want their work to have meaning."
Concerning work/life balance, research and data continues to show that Canadians are working longer hours so balance continues to be an issue and employers don't have this figured out yet, Isabel continues.
"Most midsized to large organizations have good programs in place to try to support work/life balance but too often these programs are not well communicated and too often supervisors and immediate managers aren't as supportive of these programs as they could be," she says. "There's more we could do to better operationalize the existing work/life balance programs in place at our organizations with communication and manager training being key."
But equally importantly is the need to stop thinking so much about work/life balance and perhaps focus more on work/life flexibility, Isabel adds. In other words, allowing employees to work when and how they want can go a long way to making employees feel that they do indeed have balance.
Compensation not the bottom line
Meanwhile, the Randstad survey findings also indicate that 66 per cent of Canadians do not consider a good salary to be more important than enjoying their work. Globally, more than half of respondents (58 per cent) also say they consider enjoyable work to be more important than a good salary.
"How are (employers) messaging and measuring how great their work environment is? That's what will cause people to leave and go elsewhere," Parker says. "Employers that invest heavily in a great work environment have more productive employees, faster growth, and higher profitability."
Randstad's survey also asks to what extent employees are willing to compromise correlates with the financial performance of their employer. Overall, 42 per cent of all respondents in the survey indicate the financial performance of their employer is under pressure. Countries above average include Hungary, Greece, Czech Republic and Spain (61-67 per cent). Canada sits on the lower end of the spectrum, as only 36 per cent of Canadian employees believe that the financial performance of their employer is currently under pressure.
"That's probably a naïve perspective but that 36 per cent have likely seen reports of their organization's financial performance and have already undergone mass layoffs," she adds. "Otherwise, for the most part, employees are not fully aware of what financial pressures organizations are going through."

Great location - right by the beach, a few minutes walk from the town centre and just 5 minutes from the train station (we don't have a car so was very convenient from that point of view). The room was absolutely lovely - really big, loads of space, light... More

Little things that matter in language design
Not unless they're selling them for about twenty cents each (the cost of a blank CD, plus handling). The CD is indeed hardware, but the value in this case isn't the hardware, it's the copy of the software embedded in it. The hardware is incidental to their business, and could be trivially replaced with any other convenient storage medium, or even no hardware at all (e.g. direct download).
Actually real price was something like $3-$5 at the time...

It's not feasible to sell them for $0.2. You'll not cover even S&H costs. $3-$5 is realistic, and yes, it was done when that made sense.

I wasn't counting shipping in the price, just the blank CD and whatever it costs to burn data onto it. Feel free to substitute a more realistic base cost; it's been a while since I priced blank CDs, and the overhead was no more than a guess. Including S&H, $3-$5 is well within the margin of error.
In the case you cited, as giraffedata pointed out, they really were a hardware & service vendor--they were paid for the CDs and the service of filling them with third-party software (plus S&H). No one would pay them for the software itself knowing that said software is available for free.
In short, if you're making a standard retail markup over the cost of manufacturing the discs, you're a hardware/service vendor. If you're making significantly more than that, then you're being paid for the data on the disc, not the disc itself, which makes you a software vendor.
