Royal Garden in Laken
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
It's interesting to watch traffic picking up in the early morning hours of any given day in Europe as streams of passenger aircrafts arrive to destination from Asia and the Americas. Then as midday comes the flow from Europe to America reverses. Europe domestic traffic is boiling but it's still early morning hours in the US where the traffic seems low. As the morning breaks up in the US then, new traffic emerges and gives it a similar look and feel as Europe six to eight hours earlier.
This reminds me of early morning hours arriving to London Gatwick from overseas where you see immensely long queues stack up in front of immigration control, especially with flights from Asia! World economy and population moves on the making. I wonder whether this picture will ever grow to evolve in ways whereby the yellow spots on the map represent flights that leave planet earth and move away to intergalactic travels of some sort. Maybe in a million years.
As a thought for the day, don't you think that the little yellow spots on the map look very much like swine flu virusses spreading around. No wonder the WHO is really frightened this time.

Water and Wine...
In wine there is wisdom,
in beer there is freedom,
in water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials,
scientists have demonstrated that if we drink
1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we
would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli,
(E. coli) - bacteria found in feces.
In other words, we are consuming
1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when
drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whisky or
other liquor), because alcohol has to go through a purification
process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Water = Poop, Wine = Health .
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,
than to drink water and be full of shit.

13 yr old lucky bugger becomes the Billionth app downloader!
Apple today announced that customers have downloaded one billion applications from its revolutionary App Store, the largest applications store in the world. The one billionth app, Bump created by Bump Technologies, was downloaded by
"The revolutionary App Store has been a phenomenal hit with iPhone and iPod touch users around the world, and we'd like to thank our customers and developers for helping us achieve the astonishing milestone of one billion apps downloaded," said

This summer the iPhone OS 3.0 software update will provide developers with over 1,000 new developer APIs enabling In-App Purchases, Peer-to-Peer connections, App control of accessories, and Push Notifications. The iPhone OS 3.0 release will also add over 100 customer features including cut, copy and paste; Spotlight(TM) search; landscape keyboard and view for all key iPhone apps; MMS* support; and expanded parental controls for apps, TV shows, and movies from the App Store.
*MMS messaging is available only on iPhone 3G; fees may apply. MMS may not be available in all areas.
Τον Παύλο και το Νικολιό...
My first Vinyl that I tried was a pot-pouri of songs published by EMI in the 70ies, performed by the greatest troubadour of contemporary Greece, Grigoris Bithikotsis (R.I.P.), singing songs of another, the greatest, contemporary Greek composer, the man behind Zorba the Greek, Mikis Theodorakis.
Enjoy one of these songs, "Τον Παύλο και το Νικολιό", so typical of them both, singer and composer, and so typical of the great Greek popular music sound.

Are you bumpin' me?
Q: How does BumpTM work?
A: There are two parts to BumpTM: the app running on your device and a smart matching algorithm running on our servers in the cloud. The app on your phone uses the phone's sensors to literally "feel" the bump, and it sends that info up to the cloud. The matching algorithm listens to the bumps from phones around the world and pairs up phones that felt the same bump. Then we just route the contact information between the two phones in each pair.
Can you figure this? You bump under the impression that your personal data jumps off your iPhone a few inches away into your partner's and you get his/her data into yours (hermaphroditic pipe connexion sort-a-thing) but the darn things have gone on a tour around the planet to be matched by these folks' algorithms and sent back. Now I get it why they need to feel the bump 'simultaneously'. It's a question of physics. Two events are identical when they occur at the same point in the four dimensional time-space. The two devices send out their identity almost simultaneously following the sensor reactions from the bump, along with location info (this might be a problem for iPod touch or even the iPhones if their location has not been recently updated ) so that these folks' algorithms can do the 'QED math' necessary to match the 'bump'ers. So, if you wanna mess up their algo's bump three phones at the same time... like wineglasses! I'd like to know then whom of the three their formulas will pick as the 'odd-one-out'! It's probably a cool game for teens when a dude has to decide whom of two broads he chooses to take to the proms.
It's so funny what they say in one of their own faq questions. It's about bump identity matching where they're like:
Q: No way. What if somebody else bumps at the same time?
A: Way. We use various techniques to limit the pool of potential matches, including location information and characteristics of the bump event. If you are bumping in a particularly dense area (ex, at a conference), and we cannot resolve a unique match after a single bump, we'll just ask you to bump again. Our CTO has a PhD in Quantum Mechanics and can show the math behind that, but we suggest downloading BumpTM and trying it yourself!
Ain't this a scream? What a better way to tell us: Dudes, trust us, we're Einstein's siblings (or Feynman's for that matter).
Bump you!!!
...There's one more thing! It works fine with iPhones and iPods Touch in all possible pairs (that's 3 to you with ugly scores on school math).
When your dick grows inside your skull!
(story from applicant.com)
Peter Chung, a 24 year old Princeton graduate was climbing the corporate ladder at a fast pace when he started his career with Merrill Lynch in 2001. Later that year he was stationed in Seoul, South Korea working for Carlyle Group, a Washington D.C. investment firm. Chung had it really good. He was in Korea, was making good money and was very successful at a very young age. He decided to send an email to his friends. Here is a copy of the email,
So, I've been in Korea for about a week and half now and what can I say, LIFE IS GOOD. I've got a spanking brand new 2000 sq. foot 3 bedroom apartment with a 200 sq. foot terrace running the entire length of my apartment with a view overlooking Korea's main river and nightlife.
Why do I need 3 bedrooms? Good question…..the main bedroom is for my queen size bed…..where CHUNG is going to f#@$ every hot chick in Korea over the next 2 years (5down, 1,000,000,000 left to go)….the second bedroom is for my harem of chickies, and the third bedroom is for all of you to f@#$ when you come visit my ass in Korea.I go out to Korea's finest clubs, bars and lounges pretty much every other night on the weekdays and everyday on the weekends too (I think in about 2 months, after I learn a little bit of buy-side business I'll probably go out every night on the weekdays)...
read the rest here...
Now tell me, is this guy a 'dick' or what? Those who disagree, drop me a note...

Χριστός Ανέστη...
Anyways, for those interested, an excellent collection of 11 shots of the Orthodox celebration by the Associated Press is shown in the BBC homepage. The one shown here is my personal favorite from that collection.
Airfoil by Rogue Amoeba
You install Airfoil on your Mac or PC. As you launch it, it gives you a panel that 'sees' all the potential outputs your Mac (or PC) apps can send their sound to...
WTF am I talking about, you may wonder... And you are absolutely right! OK, Ctrl-Alt-Del... reboot...here we go... Suppose you have* an Apple TV in your living room, an iPod Touch (or your iPhone) attached to a set of made-for self powered speakers in the kitchen or dining room, and an Airport express in your bathroom connected to a mini set of self powered speakers too. Suppose you wanna send some sound to all of them simultaneously and have them play the same songs all over the place, all at the same time! Wow! That's what I am talking about.
Now, you may still righteously wonder: Which are these fortunate apps, then? For which ones did the bells toll? Well... here's the magic of modern software. Made of reusable component marvels built by today's smart OOAD software developers. In other words, the simple answer is: any application that is naughty enough to generate sound! Go figure! From iTunes, to all sorts of music players and from web browsers to software radios, to audio wave editors, midi sequencers, techno-hip-hop music pattern generators, to video media players... your pick.
There is still a problem with video media players though. If you're watching a movie with your usual player app, you may be getting a lip-sync problem. At least with iTunes, VLC and Quicktime that I tested, it was unbearable! No worries though! Those dudes from Rogue Amoeba are really cool! They have included a player of their own, the Airfoil Video Player. When you use this instead, sound synchronization is perfect...
Finally, the price they are asking for the basic Airfoil application on either Mac or PC, running on a single station, is 25 bucks, or somethin'! Not bad at all, right? Further on, d'you know what's really fun too? On AppleTV and on the iPhone and iPod Touch, when active, you get an icon which is a replica of your source workstation with its ACTUAL wallpaper with open windows at the time of activation and all bells and whistles! Ünglaublich! Check it out (left) almost showing a 'photograph' of my MacBook with the iTunes app icon on the bottom right to show which app is currently sending out! How cool is that!
Trust me... this thing is really big! Test it first for free and if you get convinced you need to go buy a license, or the system will start generating bad noise after some time, if you didn't make sure you paid your dues... You gotta stop being such a cheap sod after all. Those folks at RA need to earn some dough too, to be able to buy some shoes and walk to work to write this wonderful SW for you, you cheap b@st@rd!
*If you happen to have none of these things... what can I say, get a life dude!

Zi6 experiences
Anyways, I owned video cameras with far lesser video quality (VHS video like - below VGA and broadcast SD), ever since I started with family videos 20 yrs ago, and those bitches used to cost me multiples of the Zi6. Editing was tough those days too... as I'm watching today some of the clips I did then, and I was even so fully proud of that 'work', I can hardly keep not laughing MAO! Amazing thing how far technology has come to. And prices fallen dramatically. In just 20 years. Sometimes I wonder real hard: What will our siblings' siblings own in hundred years from now? I'd love to be able to live for a moment's time in a hundred years or even two hundred, just to have a short glimpse on the A/V goodies and PC toys of the future. Would there still be Microsoft and Apple around? Who'd be able to tell?!

Playing for change... or, about the Brotherhood of Man.
It's a composite audio/video of a song whereby additional tracks were laid in by different singers and musicians from different places around the world. The finished product is simply ünglaublich!
The song itself is the classic standard "Stand By Me" originally released in 1955 by The Staple Singers and released again in 1961 by the Drifters . This composite version is a real breakaway! So turn up the speaker volume, lean back on an armchair, and enjoy the marvels of human talent, especially of those sound engineers and video montage people.

Beaufort 03
So, we first drove to De Haan, where, entirely unexpectedly, we found out that Albert (Einstein) himself spent some vacationing long ago and even walked at the 'zeedijk'. There were even pictures of him posing to a photographer along the pedestrians walkway at the zeedijk! Anyways, de Haan had a couple interesting works. One belonged to the Belgian artist Daniel Buren, named Le vent souffle ou il veut and one of the Chilean artist Brigada Ramona Parra named Saqueando nuestra historia, whatever this may mean... something with Chilean history, I reckon. The third work we visited was in Westende, created by Aeneas Wilder from Scotland.
There's not much to say about... watch the slide-show and judge for yourselves... Worth the visit if you happen to be around. Pity for the lousy Belgian foggy weather though. It felt like early winter, and it's mid spring, for cryin' out loud.

Talented people
Anyways, that's not the subject of my crankiness this afternoon. I just heard the anchor present some dude from Unilever, the consumer products behemoth, who was like, 'our highly talented people... who will leverage on our strengths... and will emerge from this crisis as winners by showing great leadership... bla...bla...bla...' If I got a cent for every time I heard a pitch like that I'd be filthy rich by now. Do these people actually believe what the're sayin'? I mean, if there was so much talent in their shops, would their stock still go down the tube the way it recently did? C'm on, folks. This whole oratory sounds like Webster's definition of self-deception: faking an orgasm while masturbating! Got it?
In every company I worked for (many US HQed among them) I often heard bosses talking about 'our highly talented people'. Always they sounded like we were the unique ones with excessive 'talent' in overdrive whereas each and every one of our competitors sucked! Know what? The worst of all was that many among the troops needed that stroking to enjoy their version of professional fullfillment. Get serious dude... really! Why do bosses do that? Almost always, average leaders will deliver 'stroking' opium to the subordinate masses to be seen that it's actually them who have been capable indeed, in the first place, to have assembled all that unique 'talent'... aiming to achieve "the company's long term strategies for the benefit of the shareholders!" Horseshit! What a pile of monumental horseshit! Wow! They're really good these characters! Especially as they manage to walk away with multiple millions in annual pay and related bonusses.
Am I so cranky about them buggers because of some sort of jealousy? Nay... not that at all! Been there done that! I had my fair share in playing similar leadership roles myself for some time (albeit without the multiple millions bit, rather hundreds of thousands instead) and, as I go back in memories I can't help seeing myself delivering that type of bullshit to my troops, then, too. Worst of all, I didn't realize the size of 'orgasm faking' I was also indulging into. I'd be dead ashamed for sure if I time-traveled back to those days and heard me pitching horseshit like this. Whatever...
Here's the thing. Yep, there's huge talent out there. Those rare souls who changed our lives via their inventions and advancement of the arts, science and technology in the last three thousand years. Like Confucius, Plato and Aristoteles. Like Newton, and Bacon... Maxwell, Darwin, Einstein and Feynman. Callas and Bob Dylan. Pattie Maes and Steve Jobs to mention a few geniuses in our days. Even Bill Gates for that matter, but... not that Monkeyboy Ballmer. That one is the stereotype of a bullshitting leader instead, fooling himself about his company's bottomless 'talent' reservoir of myriads of Mandarin bureaucrats he's attracted to the safe MSFT haven, to have them enjoy a stressless and balanced family and professional life until retirement. How cool is that?
I could go on for ever... Anyways, beware of your leaders' palabras agudas, folks. If you know what's good for you...

The Tour of Flanders 2009 - this was the real thing!
So, there I was with my... crew of siblings, I took the 40D myself with a tele zoom 70-300 with image stabilizer, and I passed two Nikons to Terry and Vincent, one wide angle 12-24 and one zoom tele 70-300, and sent them to the wolves-mountain (Wolvenberg). I went to the flat street just above our house instead, so called Wijnendale (whatever this may mean - valley of wines?), and went to wait for 30 minutes before the 'peloton' arrived. Caravans of funny and some luxury cars and police all over the place, driving up and down and making noises and feeling cool and important. Check out the slideshows here and here. the latter is about spectators who thought it was cinco de mayo today. One of them impersonated a topless babe, like in tittie bars, and went to dance around an electricity pole. Check this here...
BTW, if you like any of them pictures, feel free to interrupt the slideshow, click on the picture you like and get to its original at my Flickr account. Then click 'all sizes' on the top left corner. This will bring you to a number of available picture sizes. Download the so-called 'original' resolution for best results. The size provide is good to go for 6x4 inch (10x15cm) prints.

Tour of Flanders for amateurs 2009

With almost 800 launched, the Bill Crealock-designed Westsail 32 was THE boat that made ocean cruising practical and affordable for sailors of modest means and this custom finished (in lovely old growth teak), beautifully maintained example--with less than 100 total hours on the 55 hp Isuzu diesel (much more torque than the 20 hp stock diesel!), NO TEAK DEAKS and an ALUMINUM MAST--is the nicest one we've seen in YEARS.
There are A LOT of tired old Westsails out there; THIS one has been owned by the same family since new, she's always been kept under a full boat cover and literally looks like she was launched yesterday--note that the anchors have never used, nor has the stainless steel oven!
Partner of Breeze is a must see for anybody who appreciates the charm of a well-found traditional sail boat. Vessel lying in Tiburon and shown by appointment please.
Offset double berth forward, just aft port side is head with locker opposite. Continuing aft is raised dinette to port, settee with much storage above opposite. Far aft is galley to port, centerline companionway and nav station to starboard.
Note BEAUTIFULLY finished out custom interior teak joinery with white oak overhead and flawless teak & holly sole, salon table from Iroko (a very dense African teak) salvaged from the steamship Washington which foundered in 1922. 6'1 headroom, interior is FLAWLESS
Shipmate t gimbaled three burner CNG stove with oven, twin stainless steel very deep sinks with hot/cold pressure water (eight gallon hot water heater, AC and engine fired), bronze manual sea water pump, ice box with Addler-Barbour holding plate refrigeration. Groco manual pump head.
110V AC / 12V DC. Thirty amp shorepower service, three 6V lead acid batteries in two banks with parallel switch, smart battery charger.
Depth sounder (this is all the boat has in the way of electronics, she's only ever been used as a daysailer so owner didn't see point in installing electronics that would just go obsolete).
Cutter rig currently set up as a sloop. Profurl roller furler (2004) with a high cut 95% Yankee, hank on staysail, loose-footed Dacron mainsail (sails from 1987). Deck stepped aluminum mast with compression post. Five stainless steel winches, with the two primaries being self tailing, new halyards and running rigging.
Based on the Colin Archer North Sea pilot boats, the Westsail has a heavily hand laid up FRP hull (12 layers fiberglass mat and roving), full keel with lead ballast sealed and bonded to the hull which has an epoxy barrier coat, barn door rudder with tiller steering, custom stainless steel bow sprit and stainless steel boomkin designed to accommodate a windvane. Also note beautiful solid bronze double-dog portholes with screens, bronze Dorade vents, varnished solid teak hand turned toerail that's a work of art.
Bronze manual anchor windlass, two #35 plow bow anchors with 75' of 3/8" galvanized chain and 50' of line rode (never used!).
This is Hull # 669, keel laid in 1977, launched in 1983, last bottom painted April 2015 at which time a new cutless bearing and packing gland was installed.
Fifty five horsepower fresh water cooled Isuzu four cylinder diesel, installed installed in 1982 with less than 100 total original hours (this engine looks brand new, folks!).
1 1/4" bronze shaft thru bronze packing gland and strut to three-bladed bronze prop; note that shaft angle was modified when engine was being installed so the boat backs straight in reverse.

We're great fans of Ryan Frank's work here at Inhabitat, and we can't wait to get a firsthand glimpse of his new stackable Isabella stools at this month's fast-approaching London Design Festival! The Isabella stool provides eco-ergonomic seating in addition to a sculptural storage solution inspired by hand-carved African designs. Rather than using the exotic hardwoods featured in traditional African seating, the innovative designer chose to work with 100% felted wool and 'strawboard' – a sustainable, formaldehyde-free material made entirely from compressed straw.
Strawboard is a durable material that offers a sustainable alternative to plasterboard. Brands such as Invotek and Stramit helped to popularize the material, and now Frank's stacking Isabella stools stand as a perfect example of the material's versatility.
Frank's new work will be showcased along with the works of six other designers at Eco Age as part of the Alternative Sitting showcase during the London Design Festival. Founded last year by Italian-born brother and sister Nicola & Livia Giuggioli, Eco Age has received lots of positive press for its holistic approach to sustainable design. It also offers a green design consultancy service and plans to launch an online shop sometime in the near future.

Late Period Negative Pregnancy Test
When your period is late, the first thought on your mind is: I must be pregnant. Well, the next thing you know is you take pregnancy test or online pregnancy test and the result is negative. How can this happen? Isn't late period the obvious indication of pregnancy? Well, it is not always like that. There are plenty causes why missed period and not all of them are caused by pregnancy. Below, you will read several most-common reasons why period is late but not because of pregnancy. Hopefully, the explanation below will help you to stay calm if your period is late but the pregnancy test came back negative.
You are Stressed and Anxious
The most reasonable explanation why period is late but you are not pregnant is because you are stressed and you have anxiety. When the body is stressed and burdened, the body is going to produce hormones

The alternator plays a crucial role under the bonnet of your car. It converts the mechanical energy of the car's rotating crankshaft into electricity through a process of induction; put simply, it sends power to all the electrical elements of your vehicle.
One of the alternator's main functions is to keep your car battery charged, and so a car which is difficult or slow to start can be a sign of a faulty alternator. It also provides power to operate the car's lights and other electrical accessories. Therefore lights that seem too dim or blink erratically, and the red battery light glowing on the dash, are all signs that your alternator needs checking out.
Daewoo was a South Korean car manufacturer which sold vehicles into the UK market between 1995 and 2003. In 2001 General Motors bought the assets of the failing company and most of the Daewoo models were rebranded as Chevrolets, while the Daewoo company itself was replaced by GM Korea.
Known for producing inexpensive, reliable cars, Daewoos had a great run of success in the late 90s and early 00s and so there are still plenty about on UK roads.

Communities in several Midwest U.S. states are fighting floods this month. Several rivers have overflowed their banks in the states of Illinois, Indiana and Missouri because of heavier than usual spring rains.
In western Illinois, the Sangamon and Illinois Rivers come together at the small town of Beardstown. Chris Tamminga at the Illinois Emergency Management Agency says officials are watching the rising waters closely.
"In Beardstown, we feel fairly optimistic," he said. "They do have a seawall there and at 9.4 meters, which is what the crest is supposed to be on Monday, the seawall can withstand up to a 10.7-meter crest."
The local emergency services coordinator, Roger Lauder, says a small army of people will be out Saturday to add to the top of the town's floodwall, just in case.
"There will be 150 people, at least that is what we are planning on feeding tomorrow," he said. "That includes 56 inmates, some IDOT [Illinois Department of Transportation] workers, a lot of our county people, and all the drainage commissioners and neighbors and friends will be in that fight tomorrow to raise that levee up to safer levels."
A few kilometers up the Sangamon River in Chandlerville, water levels started dropping a bit Friday. Mr. Lauder says that is good news for the town, which has been partly flooded since Wednesday night. But, the high water might be to blame for one home lost on Friday.
"The tragedy to our story here in Chandlerville is that one of the councilmen who had been working around the clock to help fight this flood and worked all night last night, at six o'clock this morning, his home burned," he said.
An eight-year-old Illinois boy died in the flood on Thursday. He was playing in a boat behind his family's home when the boat drifted into a tributary of the Illinois River. Officials say the boy got nervous, jumped out of the boat and drowned in about two meters of water.
Illinois' governor has declared the entire state a disaster area because of heavy rainfall and flooding this month. The flooding means farmers in some parts of the state will have to delay planting or replant corn and other crops.
In neighboring Missouri, recent flooding resulted in eight deaths. Officials there say half the state's counties have sustained some sort of flood damage.
And in Indiana, the governor says flooding in the state's central and southern regions could reach record levels. A few dozen families have been evacuated from homes in low-lying areas.
The U.S. Coast Guard says it might soon have to close the Mississippi River to barge traffic in southern Illinois and Missouri, if the waters continue to rise.

Some tips to help a person prepare for an interview include interviewing with a temporary agency before interviewing with an actual employer, and getting information about a potential employer before sitting for the interview. Another tip is to make sure the resume is as current as possible. Giving an employer an old resume may show them that preparedness is not a priority.Continue Reading
If preparing for an interview, it is also a good idea to consider offering services for a project first, instead of for full-time employment. This way, it gives the employer a chance to evaluate job skills before hiring an employee. It is also important to focus on presentation before going in for an interview. Clothing must be conservative, clean and neat. It helps to wear only light scents, brush the hair, and always wear a smile.
Preparing a list of questions is also a good tip before going in for an interview. When the interviewer asks if there are any questions before closing up the interview, these are available to ask. This shows preparation and research skills, as well as interest in the position. It is also good to make a list of accomplishments during interview preparation, as these facts show a focus on positive results and outcomes. Employers expect employees to be results-driven, and these facts can demonstrate that during the interview.Learn more about Applying & Interviewing

Date: 6/5/2016
Last year, the Chancellor announced that a new body would be set up to look at the UK's national infrastructure requirements and work out "calmly and dispassionately what the country needs to build for its future". In March, the commission published three additional reports commissioned by the chancellor. One considered transport infrastructure issues in northern England, another examined London's transport infrastructure, and the third looked at energy infrastructure.
Planning magazine brought together experts, including Mike Kiely the Chair of the POS Board, at a round table in London, sponsored by Burges Salmon and RPS Group, to consider which of the three reports' recommendations are most likely to be acted upon in the short to medium-term, and which have big implications for planning.
In relation to the commission's report on transport infrastructure needs in the north of England Mike Kiely said that local authorities "would be mad not to seize the opportunity and drive the debate, because the location of the station is absolutely critical".
The second NIC report looked at the strategic case for additional large-scale transport infrastructure in the capital. . Kiely believed that the system has been set up to facilitate that as planned infrastructure schemes progress towards implementation, certainty increases, land value rises and speculation by developers intensifies. "We haven't got the right tools and the system is set up to work ... in the interest of the landowners, so that they can speculate and make money," he said. "(This) is fine in the short term, but in the long term UK plc does not benefit."

Small Talk: 4 English Conversation Tricks to Help You Connect with Business Clients
1. Make a Connection with Small Talk
There are a few main ways to connect with people while using small talk:
Use common experiences.
"Do you have any vacations planned for the summer?" "Wow. That sounds like it will be great."
"If you get a chance, you should definitely try the deli around the corner."
"Which hotel are you staying at?" "A few other clients have stayed there. They said it was quite nice."
Talk about the person's home town or where their business is located now.
"I went to Chicago a few years ago. I liked it a lot."
"I saw your headquarters are located in Dallas, Texas. My sister lives in Dallas."
"Oh, you're from Colorado? I hear there are some great places to ski there."
Mention college or school.
"So you're a University of Michigan alumna? Did you see that football game last night?"
"You went to the University of Texas? I went to Rice University in Houston, but we used to always drive over to Austin for the weekends."
Discuss common interests or likes.
"You like sushi? I love it too. In fact, there's a great sushi restaurant downtown."
"Are you a sports fan?"
2. Stay Engaged in the Conversation
Whenever you are talking with someone, you should show interest in the conversation. This is true for small talk and any other business discussion. If you are not interested, the other person will not be interested either. Here are some tips to help you be more engaged in the conversation:
Don't just talk. Ask questions and listen.
"Where did you go to university?"
"Any weekend plans?"
"Do you know any good restaurants around here?"
Pay attention to the person with whom you are talking.
Do not look at your phone or watch.
Make eye contact whenever possible.
Nod your head occasionally to show interest.
Smile when they talk about things they like.
Notice small things that could be conversation starters.
If you see a person's name badge says he is from Los Angeles: "Los Angeles—that's a great city!"
If a person has a photograph of her family on a cruise: "Which cruise was that?"
If her phone's ring tone is a familiar song: "Is that Coldplay? I saw them in concert a few years back. What a show!"
Do some research about the person to know more about him.
Use some of the basic information you find in conversation.
Learn which topics they do not like, so you can avoid them.
The last point can really help guide your conversation and get to know your client better. If you check social media and find out that your client is a vegetarian, then you know they will not care about the best burger you have ever eaten (unless it is a tofu burger, of course!).
Likewise, if you learn that your client traveled to England last summer, then you might have a conversation like this:
"I'm planning on taking the family to England. Have you ever been there?"
"Yes, in fact I went last summer."
"Oh really? Is there anything I should definitely make sure to see?"
"Personally, I'm not much of a city person, so London wasn't for me. But Devon was extraordinary."
"I'll definitely try to check it out. Thanks for the tip."
3. Avoid Difficult Topics While Making Small Talk
Small talk is meant to be light and easy.
The main rule of small talk is to avoid anything that can inflame negative feelings. It is best to
topics that could potentially hurt a person's feelings or challenge their opinions.
When making small talk, you should avoid talking about:
Current affairs (news) which demand an opinion
A person's appearance
Anything too personal
Anything that someone might have an intense opinion about
The last thing you want to do is offend a client.
When in doubt, just ask yourself, "Is there a chance this could be considered an offensive question or comment?"
If the answer is yes, then skip it!
4. Pay Attention to How People Feel During Small Talk
Sometimes small talk is not appropriate or welcomed by the other person.
When you are making small talk with a business client or anyone else, you should always be aware of how the conversation is going. If the conversation seems forced or the other person looks uncomfortable, then a shift in topic—or even silence—may be the solution.
These are some things to keep in mind when trying to understand your situation during small talk. A
red flag
is a warning sign that you should pay attention to. If you see one of these red flags, then you should relax, change the topic or possibly stop talking.
Take note of the other person's body language.
Red Flags:
Crossed arms, a serious look or closed off body language are all red flags showing that the person is uncomfortable with small talk.
Do not insist on making small talk if the other person is not interested.
Red Flags:
Looking at his/her phone or appearing to not hear what you are saying
Notice if the conversation seems forced, or if the other person does not want to talk.
Red Flags:
One-word answers, not reciprocating questions
Notice if things seem tense.
Red Flags:
Strongly voicing an opinion, raising eyebrows and any kind of look of anger or irritation.
This may seem like a lot to remember, but do not worry. You will be fine!
Small talk should be easy and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Keep it simple and try not to overthink it.
If you are worried that you will make a mistake, then remember: You can always talk about the weather!
If you want to practice speaking like this, then sign up for a trial lesson. Good luck!

Is Uber a model for the sharing economy? Some say yes, others disagree. Does regular currency have a role in the sharing economy, or must it be 100% based on time/trade? Many of us like the idea of this new paradigm, but the way is not always clear. We don't expect to wrap everything up neatly in a short conversation, but want to get the conversation started and invite others to join in...
Erik Lehmann of Ithaca, New York uses an alternative local currency. Elias Crim has studied slow money and has been active in trying to get a maker space up and running in Valparaiso, Indiana. Xander Gieryn is working on establishing a tool sharing library for artists in Indianapolis. Todd Fuqua has been active with www.timebankindy.org. These panelists, plus others who will be dropping by will discuss their own experiences with the sharing economy and their take on how we can best transition into it, learning from their collective wisdom.
We'll be hosting this special session on a new platform, www.blab.im. You'll need to set up a free account on Blab to join in (very easy to do, especially if you already have a Twitter account.) If you have a webcam and mic/speakers, this is the most interactive and effective way to join in, however, you can also post comments via a chat window if you prefer or if you do not have the set up to join in another way.
Rather than "register" you will need to "subscribe" via this link to take part:
Note: the first hour will be recorded. Panelists have agreed to participate for one hour only. For anyone who wants to continue the conversation, I'll hold over into another hour if there is interest.
Sustaining members will be given preference since their financial support is what keeps CoThrive running. If you haven't yet become a member, but would like to please join us. Anyone is welcome to attend, observe and contribute ideas. One-time love offerings always appreciated.

Ashe Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey guys, this is my first guide, in which I want to help you to get pro with Ashe.
To get the mid lane is very important. You need to get into mid game pretty fast.
If you are pushing far, buy wards to make sure, that you can't get ganked.
If you get fed at the beginning and if you are sure not to die that much, buy "Sword of the Occult".
First you should buy "Vampiric Scepter", try to get as many last hits on minions as you can. Get back to base, if you are able to buy "B.F. Sword" and "Boots of Speed".
Most of the games I had enough money at level 8 or 9. Go back to your lane and make sure that your turret don't get destroyed. Now go for "The Bloodthirster" and "Boots of Swiftness". At late game go for another "B.F. Sword" , which you build into "Infinity Edge". Go for some crit-chance and movement speed and buy "Phantom dancer".
At this point the match is usually over. Your crit is about 75%. If you are even able to buy other items, decide situational. I highly recommend "The Black Cleaver" to get some armor penetration. Go for some life, armor or magic resistance, if u feel like you go down too fast.
Hopefully this guide helps you to get better on Ashe.

Gold IRAs are becoming increasingly popular in the present economic times but not many people have read about them until now so the most important question is how do you choose the right gold IRA to pick. However not all the gold companies are identical.
Doing a few sensible analysis before you take any steps is going to certainly help you. Doing research in advance will help you understand which Company's staff members is most professional and friendly; it will as well assist you to figure out which staff knows the most. It may help you determine how to get probably the most from your money while saving money, which everyone likes. It will also give you a complete experience when you are planning to invest in gold IRAs which will make a big difference.
What are some of the things to seek out when you are a novice?
You are new after all. Web sites such as Better Business Bureau, TrustLink, plus the www.checkbca.org have wide database of gold companies and their respective ratings. These ratings are calculated from multiple customer reviews and complaints. Looking through the reviews will help you get an idea of past customers issues.
Your judgement will surely help you in this market. When you make a call to any salesman, how eager they are to help you ? A Good company will always try its best to serve you. They will not force you to make a purchase with their sweet talk.
You should also consider the details. Understand the schedules for ones IRA fees? Which kind of safe-keeping is offered? Allocated or non-allocated. Not only that, how fast the company is willing to work for you? How long will it
take to setup your account, to deliver the gold, and liquidate it if needed? All such queries must be asked before you make your final decision. If the representative from the company can╒t answer one of those questions, be very cautious. These are all questions that any legitimate salesperson would be able to answer.
There are variety of different charges with regards to maintaining your gold and they can be anywhere from inexpensive to outrageous. Few of these fees can be affordable while some can be outrageous. This is exactly what we were discussing when we mentioned the IRA fee schedule. Some companies like to do their fees depending on simply how much money you have in your account and some would prefer a flat rate maintenance. A flat rate fee schedule tends to be a much better option because as your investment increases you don╒t have to worry about your fees increasing.
Allocated Gold or Allocated Storage relates to gold that is owned by you and generally kept with a custodian(those holding your gold). In case anything happens to the bank, the gold is still going to be yours. Non-allocated gold, unallocated gold, or non-allocated storage generally refers to gold that does not belong towards the investor. In this instance they are lending their gold to the bank in a manner this is almost exactly the same as if they were depositing cash. It does not offer any protection if any untoward incident takes place, there will probably be no way to get your investment back. It is advisable to opt for Allocated Storage.
Setting up your account and managing it should really be quick and pain free. Sadly you will find numerous companies on the market that have no people which are dedicated to precious metal investments or to a particular group of people. This means it is going to take whoever is responsibility it is to help you, time to work. Many companies happen to be well-known to consume many weeks or months to deliver your gold. This can easily make you feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Reviews posted on popular sites like www.BBB.org will help you understand efficiency of the company. Customer-Focused companies will not take your time and will set up your account and deliver within a span of few days. A few firms seldom offer assistance if customers plan to sell their gold. As a customer you must be aware of these facts..
In terms of making any sort of investment, whether it is a a 401K or an IRA or anything, you should take into account that you have done your research before making any moves. It is preferred to ask all questions in advance. Investments are critical and you need to get maximum return out of them. That's why we suggest that you should always visit thegoldrushexchange.com/gold-ira-rollover, where you will find top-rated gold IRA companies and their customer reviews .

The availability and effectiveness of the Yankees' closer in the biggest game of their season may be an issue tonight.
Last night, Rafael Soriano worked more innings and threw more pitches than he has in years, logging two of the former and firing 43 of the latter in the Yankees' 4-3, 12-inning comeback win over the Red Sox in The Bronx. It's customary that it's all hands on deck for Game 162, so you would imagine Soriano would certainly attempt to be available to pitch tonight. But that's no sure thing.
And even if Soriano is available, will his arm or body be fatigued from last night's effort and thus lose effectiveness?
"Hopefully he feels OK [today]," manager Joe Girardi said, explaining he had no hesitation using Soriano for two innings last night. "If I need him, but I've said it all along and I'll say it again: We're trying to win the division, we're trying to win the division. Hasn't worked a lot lately and he said he was OK."
Girardi is right that Soriano — who did not speak to the media after the game — has only pitched three times since Sept. 21. But to be fair, he also has pitched three times in the last five days (albeit the first outing was an eight-pitch appearance on Friday). Soriano then threw 17 pitches on Sunday before his 43-pitch marathon last night.
Should Soriano be unavailable tonight, the Yankees' closer would presumably be David Robertson. The righty worked a perfect eighth inning last night with two strikeouts, and hasn't allowed a run in his last seven appearances. However, Robertson has also worked four of the last five days.
Soriano was not very effective last night, as he allowed a solo homer, a single and a walk in his two innings. He actually put the Yankees in a 3-1 hole to start the ninth inning, as he surrendered James Loney's leadoff homer to right. Soriano then gave up a single before retiring the next three Red Sox.
In the 10th, Soriano issued a one-out walk to Dustin Pedroia but never permitted him past first base.
Giving up home runs remains a worrisome issue for Soriano, who has served up five in his last 15 appearances — not a good sign for someone unproven in this role as a Yankee in the postseason.
The last time Soriano threw two innings was on June 19, 2010. The last time he threw at least 43 pitches was back on Sept. 25, 2005 when he threw 44. That's his career-high in relief.

For a basic, year-round wrapping station, gather these items and store in a box or bin:
Some hard-to-wrap items are best tied with a simple bow. Remember that for a child, the difference between a wrapped present and an unwrapped one is mere seconds. If it is imperative to disguise a gift or to keep a child guessing, hide the real item and leave a decoy present containing a note or a riddle under the tree, suggests Ellen Timberlake, a gift-wrapping consultant for Scotch tape. Then, when the decoy is opened, the real surprise can begin—a treasure hunt leading to the large, unwieldy goodie.
Another strategy from Timberlake: Disguise a present's weight by adding a phone book or another heavy item to the box to keep the recipient guessing until the last moment.
Also Good For: Gift certificates, candles, jewelry, beauty products, stocking stuffers, CDs and DVDs.
Also Good For: Golf clubs, yoga mats, umbrellas, shawls and scarves (roll them up to prevent wrinkles), a rolling pin.
Also Good For: Hats, handbags, belts, toy trucks, dollhouses, Lava lamps.
Also Good For: Stuffed animals, luggage, gift baskets.

Product Information
Hitachi ID Privileged Password Manager
Hitachi ID Systems
$2/workstation; $8.25 per server
Quick Read
Strengths: Requires users to request password checkout for privileged accounts.
Weaknesses: Installation is a little tricky.
Verdict: A strong product that could use just a bit of tweaking on ease of use to push it all the way there.
SummaryHitachi ID Privileged Password Manager is a system for securing privileged passwords across large numbers of devices. The main task of this product is to regularly randomize privileged passwords on workstations, servers and applications. Random passwords are encrypted and stored on at least two replicated servers. However, these passwords may be obtained by administrators, if necessary, after they have authenticated and their requests have been authorized.
We found the installation of this product to be of average difficulty. The installation does not set up the backend database on its own. We had to use SQL Server Management Studio to set up the database, database user and database schema. After the database was set up, we installed the software itself. The installation went rather smoothly and we found the wizard to be easy to follow. After installation, all management and password checkout requests are done through the intuitive web GUI.
This product uses a password request/checkout process. When an authorized user needs to obtain a privileged password, they must access the password request page and fill out the form. The form is then submitted to the appropriate authorizers and, if authorized, the requester can checkout the password from the password checkout screen. We found this to be a straightforward and simple checkout process.
Documentation provided with this product included several PDF guides and manuals. All of these documents are nicely organized and easy to follow with many screen shots and examples.
Hitachi ID Privileged Password Manager offers phone and email technical support as part of an annual support contract. This support also provides access to the customer support portal.
At a price of $2 per workstation and $8.25 per server, we find this product to be a good value for the money. While installation and setup does require some extra steps with the database, overall the product is quite easy to use and manage.

Mr. Watts letter brings up three points that I would like to briefly address. The first relates to providing pro-rated parking to part-time staff. Employers have no obligation to provide parking unless it is part of a compensation package, which at the university, it is not. If it were, we would be required to provide parking regardless of the complexity or cost involved.
On the other hand, providing parking for employees is in an employers interest, which applies in this case. Our job, then, is to define a parking system that balances our interest (emphasis in original) in supporting staff needs with our obligation to effectively manage resources as a fiscally responsible, publicly funded institution. For parking, the point of intersection between obligation and interest is that we are prepared to provide access to parking for those who are eligible and who choose to pay for that access, on a broad basis to faculty, staff and students, and on an occasional basis for visitors.
The second point relates to whether the university should provide pro-rated parking based on income. An income-based approach would be inconsistent with how we price the other services we offer to staff, like food services. In addition, such a system would be very difficult to implement, complex and costly to administer, and hence, not in our best interests.
My final point relates to whether part-time parkers subsidize parking for others. Most people who pay for parking do not park every day for various reasons: vacations, illness, appointments, off-site meetings, etc. Nor is the cost of a permit based on hours of use. Instead, people purchase access to a parking service. Someone parking part-time may occupy a spot that is then unavailable to a full-time employee.
In closing, Parking Services may make arrangements in limited circumstances with self-identified part-time employees. Those interested in exploring these options should contact Parking Services directly.

Statement by InterAction member CEOs on the third anniversary of the Syrian civil war
Washington, DC The undersigned, member CEOs of InterAction, the largest alliance of U.S.-based international relief and development organizations, wish to express our deep concern for the families of the Syrian Arab Republic as the war enters its fourth year with no end in sight. Our concern is mixed with horror and frustration horror at the impact of brutal tactics on the lives of civilians and frustration at the inability of the peace process to bring the violence to a halt and allow for effective humanitarian action.
The scale of the Syria crisis continues to increase exponentially. Nine million Syrians, approaching half of the countrys pre-war population, have fled their homes. Six and a half million people are internally displaced. Of this number, three million are trapped in hard-to-reach or besieged areas; an estimated 250,000 have been cut off from assistance for over a year. The suffering of Syrian civilians is alarming and overwhelming, with women and children disproportionately vulnerable to the violence and the effects of the war.
In the face of this immense crisis, InterAction member agencies are working to relieve the suffering of the Syrian people, both inside the country and in neighboring ones, where nearly 2.5 million have fled. In close cooperation with heroic Syrian aid workers and affected people themselves, our community is feeding people and providing urgent medical care, while attempting to address long-term needs for education, jobs, and shelter. But the sheer scale of the crisis and the viciousness of the civil war inside the country make it impossible to come anywhere close to meeting the basic needs of vulnerable Syrians.
On this third anniversary of the Syrian civil war, we commit to doing everything we can to ensure that the people of Syria do not lose another year to bloodshed and suffering. We stand with the people of Syria, and people around the world, in calling for our leaders to make the same commitment. Specifically we call on:
- All parties to the conflict in Syria to work with the United Nations and donor governments to immediately allow and facilitate unfettered humanitarian access throughout Syria in keeping with the terms of UN Security Council Resolution 2139.
- Donor governments to meet the 2014 UN humanitarian funding appeal of $6.5 billion for the Syria crisis.
- Donor governments to continue to support neighboring countries and host communities that are generously supporting refugees fleeing the conflict, including support for training programs and job opportunities that encourage self-reliance.
- The international community to increase resettlement of refugees from Syria, particularly the most vulnerable, to third countries and ensure that resettlement and asylum is a component of the overall humanitarian response.

We tried many times but Toni can't keep his jizz in a steady stream and it ALWAYS hits the camera and being Plutonic jizz it melts the camera.
So frustrating.
The Edge of the Forum is a disturbing place to be at night...

Me, too!
Warning: Spoilers inside!
Perhaps I should get /b/ involved in this thread and watch the fun.
As someone who has had sex (is molesting temp members considered sex?) I don't know what /b/ is.
