-Take your spot, your turn will come and you will have a paragraph to add to our weekly literary voyage.
All very welcome, established writers and simply curious critics alike! The weekly meeting of Science Fictionary is held on Thursdays at NoonSLT (7pm GMT) hosted by Pooky Amsterdam at Nature's Rooftop Cafe.
For more info, IM Joanna Wombat or Pooky Amsterdam
See you there!
So why do stories always start?
Did you ever notice that stories, no matter what they are about have to start?
Even after we had developed memory implants so people could drive backwards from any point to anywhere they wanted to, stories still had to start.
I think that has to do with power. Politics, back in the day everything was politics. We called it civilization.
But what the hell, I am just the cat, they brought two of them together but only one cat.
There are cats here. But cats on this new planet are massive things, they have massive teeth and are several times the size of a human. They just like to fornicate and kill things. One time one of these cats got a smell of me and I had to burn the thing before it could get a hold of me.
Since then I have made my skin in to a protective fire encasing.
Ah but they had forgotten just how much stuff was back in the old world, stuff hidden in the folds of 11th dimensional space, things coded in to nano-ps, things that could be in a cat.
I know these naked monsters dancing about this new world full of big cats and furry elephants and humans who put mud on their faces and hair, and I "elect" to not tell the story they want.
I elect to be a villain. I elect to help them fail in ruining another world.
And this will be my story......Rober123
Human population: 1.37T Proboscines: 12M Felines: 1.5G. Cetaceans: 4M. Corvines: 100M. Psittacidae: 25M. All non-human primates: 20M....Marion
I am male of course, a real BDSM Master stalking the earth, with real powers over women and the weaker men. I cull the earth like a plaque only allowing the strong and beautiful to survive. I am a Master here on Earth with powers but a mortal never the less..........Canis
I gripped the staff as the last fire was put out. The last tooth left its mark like a right of passage. The mud stretched across my eyes and blinded me. All I had left was my sense of fear....Adrian
Wiping away the mud, I slowly opened my eyes and blinked as the sparkles from the fire persisted in my vision. As the world swirled back into view, I could see all around me men, women and children lying prone; a makeshift graveyard in front of me as the victorious army marched away....Joanna
But then another group of trailing army troops followed closely behind. Now I was in hiding. The day came and went with the constant stream of particle ships flitting across the sky. The non-ending skyways were filled with the vessals of commerce supplying the central worlds with food and supplies and the cat food filled cargo holds." "Someday, I will control it all."
But the Earthgrid only allowed changes through the strictures of the modes of commerce and my task would not be simple. The coast was clear and I stood up and I straightened out my clothes and wiped the mud away. And ran towards the control window stepping over the bodies of the dead. "Meow!" I said to the shocked depot manager. His look of disgust made me tingle to my paws, but he would be in the groups that I controlled after my plans were turned into action......Courteous
I woudl have to somehow marshall the alleigence of the other creatures first. I would have to form alliances with the others and they couldnt see my digust at their homliness and pathos. Hmm inorder to have all the cat food i wanted and to be pet and adorned in a style befitting my obvious superiority might take some planning. But lets face it- whoever these mongrels (& I say that in the nicest possible way) were, I needed them. The trick was to convince them they needed me.....Pooky
Meanwhile the depot manager has disappeared from sight and has set my instincts tingling, it's a bright night, both moons are full, just my luck. Even humans are able to see my silhouette. I need to calm down, find a safe place and prepare......Miroirs
There were no felines within a parsec of this area. There were useless primates - and parrots. There was no point recruiting parrots, of course. But I had to admit that their capacity for scheming was unparalleled. You could trick them into giving advice - history showed that.....Marion
I know of a local. He limps since a flying accident. He has connections. None I care for, but useful nonetheless........Adrian
At the very least he could offer me shelter, although I cringed to think of the price. But there was nothing to be done. I set off away from the battlefield, over the hill. It seemed quieter here, as if the horizon had provided an invisible barrier. But as I drew closer to his entrance, I saw the signature technicolour swarm and knew the parrots had beaten me to it......Joanna
There was the entrance just ahead but the parrots stood guard. The light from the full moon could be my demise. I saunter and enter the service kitty entry. No parrots take notice. I then serreptitiously and take the transteleporter to the level below control. There he is, hard to mistake with the limp. "Meow!" He turns and looks. I stare at the control card hanging around his neck and pull out the handful of large denominations credits and smile, my canines extending into my whiskers. Of course he takes the creds and hands me a copy of the pass that he renders in the duplicator and pushes it into my palm without looking down as he scans the empty room. I take the card and scurry down the hall. and then I was inside of the committee building. The sound of the battle being waged just outside.....Courteous
It isnt pretty and i woudl give anything to be back in my own sandbox, but this seems highly unlikely at present. I used to rule over an entire domain, and my commands were obeyed. I made sure my favorites were taken care of and of course relished punishing those who I disfavored. Now I am just another cat let out of the bag. No one knows of my regal heritage. I wave my paw and curse at my plight.........Pooky
Doesn't matter the creature.. large or small, wise or birdbrained.. they all wanted something, usually an illusion of power. Power over a mate, a clan, a pool of muck. Being feline, I naturally ken, it's only a matter of connecting supply lines so once-enemies become habitual dependents. And I take my delicious cut, be sure of that.
Those armored goons want to frighten me with blastfire, shocknoise. I admit, I'm as scaredycat as any.. thank Morris for the sensory filters! or long ago I'd have been a quivering closeted kitty, or worse - a corpsicle.
The conference is full, there sits General Koontz at the head, scowling at poor Hesperus. To my right is the triad of sentient Probos.. gloating over their recent capture of the Poul Valley.
I take my place next to my dear human proxy, Lessing..............Physeter
Lessing thinks he's in charge, of course, but despite his human flaws, he is as good a proxy as I could wish for. Intelligent, slow to rush in without engaging his brain, and best of all, loyal to me to the death. Handy, especially now, as General Koontz's gaze spinss round and fixes directly on us..................Joanna
"You imbecile! The battle is a complete diaster out there- They were supposed ot destroy eachother completely- now one of the sides will surely win, and that means we have to fight the victor. Not good, not good at all...Why did you unload the taser reunifaction nano blasters on them? Imbeciles! Idiots! I left you in charge...........for what? We have almost no chance of overcoming them now"...............Pooky
"I don't give a damn about the ape warrens! If we can't get the bats working with us against the birdbrains, then we'll lose the advantage." Koontz fairly snorted smoke. I winked at Lessing save the day.
"General, the bats agreed to roost out parrots in sectors 6A throuhg 11D-subi. And best of all, we have a treaty with the Alpha Whale Pod to place our fleet off the shores of Demerol!".....Physeter
A collective gasp rolled round the table. Even I couldn't hold back a tiny smile as Lessing looked evenly at the General. "The Pod has given us 30 minutes to transport the first wave into the bay. They want the waters calm before they form the barricade. With your permsission, General, we will leave immediately?".................Joanna
"Agreed, everyone will take an ipod, fully" charged.......Slack7639
Lousey equipment, a bitter general and fools on the hills. Still Lessing wasnt a complete Nimrod. He was beautiful in an odd way too, he carried the sheen of someoen who had taken the high road in an arguement more than once. His eyes were smart, he had good peripheral vision. But he wasnt a cat, lets face it. Occasionally I had pretended to fall asleep under his arm though, human contact still had some meaning.
"Yes general, I will report from the beach. Who is charge of the aviary attack? Those bats wont hang around waiting for too long. Can we upload the sonar to the ipod for direct communication? Might be easier, ma'am"
Had to love Lessing, he did know how to use that charm....Pooky
Rather than ride with the General, I had Lessing give a pretext that we needed to divert briefly to deliver arrange the protein drop on Psitcave 14. Koonts said, "Fine, fine, take my private comjet. I expect to see progresss on the parrot front soon!"
Grinning, we hopped aboard the gleaming craft. Lessing pulled a scrumptios treat from the cabinet and laid it daintily in a silver dish for me.
"Lessing," I purred between nibbles, "Make sure that we get all guano rights, and I want our armory moved to the safest batcave as soon as possible." - Physeter
Now a strategy would have to be developed from the piece of action still viable for our postion. Lessing had that hard look that humans often take, he was sneering, "The Guano is part of corporate trade, if you want a profit, find a winnable war, not this battle." This was right and the bats in the sectors were more interested in a win than any profits to be made. "Look lessing, think like a cat and figure out where some profit lies." I said as I turned in my seat of the humming comjet waiting to liftoff..............Courteous
Without so much as a warning, Lessing pressed the button and we lifted off. I could feel him simmering by my side, but humans have a tendancy to sulk and I had more important things to worry about as he navigated round a thick cloud of bats to the north. Despite his irritation, he knew my mind better than anyone, and in asingle movement, tipped the Comjet up, over the hill - and out of Koontz's radio contact...
The whales wanted krill, the krill wanted plankton, the plankton wanted nutrients. Simple food-chain economics. War was simply a way to re-distribute resources, after all. With the Cetacean Alliance on our side, the fisheries (lickmylips!) would thrive, providing protein for the desperate humans.
Already, my shell companies were operating in the black.. through them, Lessing owned more than half of the depot, and through him, so did I......................Physeter

The Commercial Observer: In The News
Pablum Peddler Jumps to Rudin's 415 Madison
It comes as no surprise that free editorial content is all the rage these days. North American Precis Syndicate (NAPS), a 50-year-old New York-based public-relations firm that provides free articles to American newspapers, has subleased a 14,315-square-foot space at 415 Madison Avenue.
"This is a strategic move for North America Precis Syndicate that enables them to expand in a very desirable location," said Peter Sabesan of Coldwell Banker Commercial Hunter Realty.
This comes as less good news for the Empire State Building, in which NAPS was a longtime tenant. Coldwell Banker Commercial Hunter Realty's Mr. Sabesan, along with Thomas P. Sullivan and Wayne Siegel, represented the tenant. Leon Manoff and Dolores Menardi of Colliers International represented the building owner, Rudin Management.

New products...coming soon
- Details
- Published: Saturday, 08 February 2014 15:58
Scoff is always experimenting with new products and flavours. There are a whole range of goodies out there that we want to veganize and bring to you! Initially these products are likely to be found at our market stalls, and then, if we think they will survive the delivery process, we will sell them through our online store. Products that we hope to add to our range soon include marshmallows and macarons.
We'll also be increasing the number of fudge and truffle flavours we sell. What would you say about cardamom infused fudge? Or perhaps a chocolate truffle flavoured with salted caramel? Of course, if you have any requests you can always get in touch. We'd love to hear what sweet stuff you're craving and see if we can help.

I completely trusted Jessica. She did an amazing job.
This gal is the greatest. Always sends updates and lets me know that my two pups are being well taken care of. Always makes sure that the house is as clean if not cleaner then when I left and that the boys are happy and healthy! Wouldn't recommend anyone else.
Jessica is our favorite pet sitter of all time, we have 4 very special needs dogs, and she's always done a fantastic time taking care of them. Heck half the time I think they are MORE excited to see her and her fiance then they are to see me! No complaints here she's simply the best!
About Jessica

I have experience with all sorts of animals ranging from farm animals, to exotic animals to pocket ...
What Jessica would like to know about your dog
I have no breed preferences and love all dogs. I have experience with all sorts of personalities INCLUDING aggressive dogs, or those who are picky about who they like. Before taking on watching your pet I like to ensure I know everything that could be of use including; your dogs schedules, if they are animal aggressive, if they are shy, their food routine, any medications that they need given or administered, allergies, do they have any special quirks?

It is exciting to see so many pets in support of the Parkinson SuperWalk across the country." says Jodie Matthews, 2012 Pets for Parkinson's grand prize winner. My dog, Button, has been a constant source of support for me and it was a lot of fun to be able to get her involved in last year's walk."

Release Date: June 12, 2014
New Adult/Adult Contemporary Romance/Sports Romance
Life's been rough lately for Noelle Payne, but she's not one to let negativity rule. So, she lost her job? She'll find another one. The bank foreclosed on the house? Well, she can live out of her car for a while. There's always an upside to be found…but now Noelle needs to find something to give her life meaning. She owes it to the universe to figure it out, too, because a stranger just saved her life.
When Liam Kallen's wife died, his goal-scoring ability died with her. After a trade from the only pro hockey team he's ever played for, he's now playing for the NHL's Portland Storm. Everyone said he needed a change of scenery, but nothing changes until he rescues Noelle. All of a sudden, the world once again looks bright and he's lighting the lamp like he used to.
Noelle's cheerful disposition is just the bit of sunlight Liam needs in his life. He wants to give her everything she needs because she's everything he wants. The problem? She doesn't believe she needs anything…at least nothing material. The one thing they both know she truly needs—a real purpose—also happens to be the one thing he doesn't know how to give her. If he can't help her find that, she might walk away and take all her sunshine with her.

About the Author:
Catherine Gayle is a bestselling author of Regency-set historical romance and contemporary hockey romance with a New Adult feel. She's a transplanted Texan living in North Carolina with two extremely spoiled felines. In her spare time, she watches way too much hockey and reality TV, plans fun things to do for the Nephew Monster's next visit, and performs experiments in the kitchen which are rarely toxic.
Author Links:
I am obviously a huge figure skating fan, but after reading this book, I think I might become a hockey fan too! What a great story this was. Eric was beyond perfect. I absolutely loved everything about him. He was such a good guy all around and when it came to Dana he was patient, selfless, sweet and protective; everything you'd want in a man.
"I didn't see much point in trying to deny it to myself anymore. I loved her. Absolutely. Completely. Head over my fucking heels in love with her. She may not love me in return, but that was okay. I couldn't control that. All I could do was be what she needed me to be, do what she needed me to do. Always. As long as she'd let me."
"When she'd laughed, I'd nearly lost my mind and pulled her into my arms, mud and all, and kissed her as long and deep and hard as I had been dreaming of. I'd barely stopped myself in time."
Please excuse me while I quietly swoon over here.
Dana was also pretty amazing because even though she had her panic attacks she was still so brave and willing to fight. I really liked that about her. The two of them were so cute together and their story does not disappoint.
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
On this second book of the Portland Storm series we are introduced to Rachel Shaw, a single mom who gets hired to be Jim Sutter's assistant. Rachel catches Brenden's eye from the moment they meet but she has severe trust issues. In a way, her reservations reminded me a bit of Dana's attitude with her own struggle. I feel like for that reason, Brenden could understand where she was coming from.
Brenden is not the sensitive type though. He is more of the "rough around the edges" type and definitely not the kind of guy you'd see going for a single mom. I think this is part of what makes the story so great.
Another thing that makes this book great is the team. After reading the first book and now this one, I have really taken a liking to hockey. I'm also very attached to all the secondary characters. Babs is just awesome and Jim Sutter is so kind and caring. Basically, where do I apply to work for the Portland Storm? I'm seriously attached to the whole team.
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
After reading the first two books in the series, I was kind of hoping the third book would be about Babs and Katie. The bad news is, it wasn't. The good news is, it was just as wonderful as the first two.
Light the Lamp is the story of Liam Kallen who is one of the players who gets traded from the Islanders at the end of On the Fly. Liam has a heart of gold and always wants to take care of people. This is what he does when he meets Noelle. However, it's not what she wants. I have to admit that for a while, I didn't quite understand Noelle. I think I probably felt just like Liam did!
Noelle is homeless and even though she needs the help to get back on her feet, she hates the idea of Liam taking care of her when she can't offer him anything in return. She is a free spirit, someone who likes to dance in the rain and walk barefooted and who is not attached to material things. Noelle is used to making sacrifices and all she really cares about is serving a greater purpose. (In my opinion though, she was a little bit too stubborn.) Liam goes to great lengths for her and I'm glad he does because ultimately they were perfect for each other.
P.S. I love when he speaks Swedish!

(Los Angeles) Hen House Studios has announced the much anticipated debut album from ParticleKid. The self-titled album is now available for digital download and physical CD order from Hen House Studios Records, and will be available in stores internationally June 2 from Org Music.
Described by its creator as "a love letter to the cosmos," PARTICLE KID marks the first full-length release from Particle Kid, the experimental musical identity of Los Angeles-based musician and visual artist J. Micah Nelson. The album is heralded by the time-lapse painting video for the inspired new track, "The Ocean," streaming here: https://youtu.be/3OGz2Wrj4t0
PARTICLE KID sees Nelson creating a multi-dimensional musical universe all his own, crafted with immense ambition, inventive production techniques, and strikingly emotive songcraft. Built upon sounds imaged by Nelson since he was 7 years old, the album sounds both familiar and oddly modern, with the spirits of future folk, low rider funk, riff rock, power pop, lysergic Americana, flower punk, and progressive jazz fusion all somehow woven together with deep-rooted melodies, unique improvisational elements, and remarkably intricate arrangements.
Though written almost entirely on acoustic guitar, PARTICLE KID makes an immediate impact with its ocean-of-sound approach, Nelson's expansive vision inspired in equal part by his passion for big band orchestras, classic psychedelia, the Stax Records house band, and so much more. The album's seemingly infinite scope underscores the emotional questing and planetary consciousness within Nelson's idiosyncratic songwriting. Songs like "Forever Friend" and "The Ocean" are mysterious and moving, rippled with avant noises and street corner sax solos, their warm textures and off-kilter tempos emblematic of Nelson's focused introspection and intensely human worldview.
Particle Kid "has been living and breathing art and music for practically all of his young life," declared Pitchfork. "His songs speak to his talent." The son of American musical legend Willie Nelson, the Los Angeles-based visual artist-musician's remarkable output spans the creative spectrum unlike few others, from his role in innovative folk-punk band Insects vs Robots and idiosyncratic performances on the Andean stringed instrument known as a charango to cymatic visualizations of dancing water molecules and playing guitar alongside his brother Lukas Nelson in Promise of the Real, known for their own cowboy hippie surf rock, and of course their recent collaborations with Neil Young.
Nelson is joined throughout PARTICLE KID by an extraordinary roster of friends, family, and fellow musicians including legendary bassist and friend Paul Bushnell and virtually all members of both Promise of the Real and Insects vs Robots. But at its core is Nelson himself, whose wildly diverse range in instrumentation includes all stringed things, key things, things that clank, snap, thump, and sonic buttons of all shapes and sizes. For PARTICLE KID, this usually included acoustic and electric guitar, piano, drums, percussion, charango, self-sampled field recordings, or in the nature of spontaneous innovation, Nelson often used whatever happened to be next to him in the moment if it sounded right. PARTICLE KID was recorded at Venice Beach, CA's Hen House Studios, the innovative recording studio, label, and art space founded by Nelson's longtime friend, collaborator, musician, and co-producer Harlan Steinberger.

On 2nd October 1187, the Siege of Jerusalem came to an end when Saladin captured the city from the crusaders who had ruled the city since 1099. Having been defeated at the Battle of Hattin on 4 July 1187, the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem was left with only its capital city having not been captured by Saladin's armies. The siege lasted for just twelve days before Jerusalem's leader, Balian of Ibelin, agreed to surrender the city.
King Guy had been taken prisoner during the Battle of Hattin, leaving Balian as the most senior noble in the Kingdom. Having travelled to Jerusalem to rescue his wife and family, Balian was persuaded to stay and lead the defence of the city although this meant breaking an oath he had sworn to Saladin that he wouldn't stay in Jerusalem for more than a day.
Arriving at the city on the 20th September, Saladin provided an escort for Balian's wife and children who were moved to safety in Tripoli. Meanwhile, he began a relentless assault on the city that eventually led to a breach in the wall. Although the attacking army was unable to gain access to the city, the lack of knights available to maintain the city's defence led Balian to negotiate the surrender. In return for unconditional surrender, Saladin agreed that anyone who paid a ransom would be able to leave the city in safety. He later freed thousands more who were unable to pay, but approximately 15,000 inhabitants were enslaved.
Two years later, the Third Crusade was launched to reconquer the Holy Land from Saladin.

Heart's Home started in the US in November 2003, with the founding of a first Missionary house in the Bronx, NY. We followed the intuition of Mother Teresa according to which New York was the city in greatest need of Compassion. On April 2008, we moved from the Bronx to Brooklyn, in Fort Greene Area.
The loneliness in the neighborhood is great and so is the need for a compassionate presence. Accordingly, our Heart's Home community received a very warm welcome from local organizations and from people of the neighborhood. This loving presence is complementary to many social services. We therefore put in contact those in need with the local organizations that provide the corresponding help and services.
Each member of the community lives this Mission in accordance with his/her personal skills and gifts:
- We visit homebound, elderly, disabled, sick people and women in shelter
- We organize events aimed at the most lonely (retreats for main catholic feasts or parties for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New year's Eve, Mother's day...)
- For the teenagers of our neighborhood, Heart's Home runs every sunday a youth group program. We spend the day with them, sharing with them cultural, sport and social activities. At the end of the day, we often share discussion times, so that through both activities and reflection, Heart's Home friendship with them may be truly educative.
- We offer our services to local centers: the Bishop Mugavero Nursinghome, the Atlantis Rehabilitation and Residential Health Care Facility Center, a HeartShare Residence for disabled. Heart's Home USA is also involved in after-school programs.
The new location in Brooklyn enables Heart's Home reach out to new friends and bridge the gap between people from different backgrounds.

Indian police detained well-known Kashmiri right activist
Khurram Pervez was arrested late on Thursday after returning to his home in Srinagar, which has been roiled for months by violent protests over the killing of a young separatist by Indian soldiers.
Police superintendent Faisal Qayoom confirmed his arrest but did not say what the charges were.
"We are looking into it. For the moment we've taken him into custody," he said.
Pervez's wife Samina said police had come to the family home late on Thursday to arrest him. He can be held for up to six months without charge under India's Public Safety Act.
More than 100 people have been killed in Indian-held Kashmir since Burhan Wani's death on July 8, in one of the deadliest bouts of violence since a full-blown armed rebellion was at its peak in the 1990s.
Most have died in clashes between protesters and police and paramilitaries who have fired tear gas and pellet guns at demonstrators.
Authorities this week banned prayers to mark the Muslim festival of Eid-ul-Azha at the main mosque in Srinagar.
Internet and mobile networks have also been cut off in a bid to prevent a repeat of the protests.

Pervez, a coordinator of the Jammu Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS), was scheduled to brief a UN Human Rights Council session on the situation, but immigration officials blocked him from boarding his flight at Delhi's main airport.
Both India and neighbouring Pakistan lay claim to the whole of the Himalayan territory, which has been divided between the two since they separated seven decades ago.
The two countries, which are both now nuclear powers, have twice gone to war over the territory and accuse each other of stoking violence.

Applied Analytics Analytics that Mirror Your World
Sound market intelligence is the basis for understanding the client's target market and qualifying their position and unique strengths within it. Success in applying that intelligence is linked to understanding the client's business culture and goals.
Building on this understanding, research at Brandywine falls into two categories, Statistical Research & Modeling and Qualitative Research. Each of these approaches is positioned to help better understand the client's niche and build acquisition and retention solutions.
We work with our clients to take the findings from this research and apply it in two directions. First, at the foundational level by overlaying with tactical actions and results; second, at the highest level by reevaluating strategic business and marketing directions through the microscope of market intelligence.
Depending on the needs and budget of the specific research study, using our proprietary systems we compile client data with direct and purchased information and blend it with public domain data to develop a complete dataset. This allows us to optimize the demo acquisition investment and to develop reliable, and sustainable, segmentation profiles and models. Such models typically focus on lifetime value, consumer characteristics, and population migration.
Examples of how this market intelligence has helped our Clients include:
Measuring market share and penetration
Forecasting market shifts
Tracking new/lost customers geographically and demographically
Determining optimal locations for new agents/locations
Testing market potential for new up-sell/cross-sell opportunities
Prospect acquisition and customer retention
Evaluating campaign effectiveness and return on marketing investment
Demographic Trends Modeling and Analysis Analyzing the Past to Predict the Future
Whether the goal is to better understand the customers you currently have or to determine where to find your next 'best' customer, developing a strong understanding of the changing demographics of your market is a keystone to success. Likewise, if you are planning to add or move physical locations the key to long-term success is knowing how the local market will look, and think, down the road.
As a core element of its insight resource, Brandywine has developed and fine-tuned proprietary models built on rock-solid public-domain data sources, such as the decennial census and on the intermediate updates and technical and analytical reports. These models are continually enhanced with third-party information that adds dimension and depth to the core data.
Brandywine uses these models to map trends in population shifts, in core attitudes and norms, and in buying preferences and habits.
These models are updated semi-annually and form the basis for discrete targeting and for specialized enhancement with psychographic and client-supplied data.
Statistical Research and Modeling Important Things We Can Tell You About Your Customers
Acquisition models provide an extremely effective tool for maximizing marketing investments and responses/prospect conversions. We develop these models with two purposes. The first is to quantify the potential response and to predict the responsiveness of various clusters of prospects. The second is to actually drive the selection of targets and their assignment to targeting cells (different messages/different offers/different vehicle). Typically these models are created at the macro level for a campaign, and replicated at tactical levels for specific marketing efforts within the campaign. These models generate the benchmarks for measuring effectiveness as the campaign rolls out.
Retention models are predictive models (based on time studies of customer purchase patterns in relation to product characteristics, customer life stages, market influences, etc) to determine which customers are most likely to be interested in purchases of new products or services (both as an extension and in a cross-sell mode). These models provide the information needed to design retention campaigns and to select targeted customers.
Qualitative Research Important Things Your Customers Want to Tell You Themself
Surveys are planned and conducted through one or more channels (direct distribution, direct mail, e-mail, internet, and telephone). Since these methods are more costly approaches to information gathering, they are normally conducted on smaller target groups and follow some level of statistical research. While statistical research identifies broad trends and situations, qualitative research primarily focuses on specific attitudes and issues.
Our role in qualitative information gathering regularly includes the conceptual and final design of the surveys; implementation and fulfillment; post-response analysis and interpretation; and finally, the incorporation of these findings into the Client's marketing databases.
When conducting Focus Groups is appropriate, we utilize our preliminary research to define the specific information goals and group outline, and to drive the selection and solicitation of prospective participants.

The name Firestone has long been associated with tires, but the company actually provides a number of specialized automotive services including Firestone oil change, batteries, alignment and brakes. The company's auto services also includes repair, drivetrain, vehicle inspection, maintenance and transmission service. The Firestone oil change cost is not very high and it depends on the oil change type.
How Much is an Oil Change at Firestone
If you asked yourself how much is an oil change at Firestone, below are the estimated Firestone oil change prices. The Firestone synthetic oil change price is different then the regular oil change price. The Firestone oil change cost is very affordable.
Premium Firestone Oil Change Price List
Includes Up to 5 Quarts of Oil
|Blend (High Mileage)
|Full Synthetic
Firestone Standard Oil Change Cost
Among the most affordable Firestone prices are for oil change. Available at all Firestone Complete Auto Care Centers, the service includes an oil change using only the highest quality synthetic oil, high mileage blend or synthetic blend, depending on the type of vehicle you drive.

The Firestone oil change cost also includes an inspection of your car's oil filter and used oil, and if necessary, replace the filter. The service also includes an air filter and cabin filter inspection, and if necessary replace them. A Firestone automotive technician may also perform a courtesy inspection which comes with topping of fluids (including the engine coolant and window washer fluid).
The technician can also assess the car's signal and brake lights, lubricate the chassis if required, do a visual inspection to check for damage and look for problems in the undercarriage, skid plates, suspension, steering, hoses and belts. Firestone Oil change cost depend on the package you avail of, and this rule applies to all the auto services packages offered by the company.
Firestone was established by Samuel Firestone in 1900 to provide for the buggies, wagons and other transportation available during the time. It didn't take long however, for Firestone to see the huge potential in the burgeoning car industry. Fortunately, Firestone was good friends with Henry Ford, and this led to his company becoming the supplier of the Ford Motor Company.
The company's original headquarters was in Akron, Ohio, the same as that of rival Goodyear. For the next 75 years, Firestone and Goodyear would battle for supremacy in the tire industry. In 1979, Firestone hired John Nevin to breathe new life into the company, and Nevin instituted several reforms, including the transfer of its headquarters from Akron to Chicago.
Nevin also sold Firestone's other businesses, and in 1988, the company was acquired by Bridgestone. The merged Firestone and Bridgestone companies set their headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee.
The merger of Firestone and Bridgestone also led to the company's expansion of services. Aside from tires, the company now uses the Firestone brand for other divisions and services. These include the Specialty Products, Firestone Natural Rubber Company, Complete Auto Care, Industrial Products LLC and Firestone Building Products. Today, the company has an annual revenue exceeding $2 billion.
Apart from its rich history, Firestone has also long been associated with motorsports, including the classic 1911 Indianapolis 500 which was won by a car using Firestone tires. In fact, Firestone cars won all the Indy Car races from 1920 to 1966, underscoring its superior design and reliability.
Firestone was also involved in Formula One from 1950 to 1974. After leaving the motorsport scene in 1974, the company returned in 1995 to CART. After Goodyear retried from the Indy Car Series, Firestone was left as the lone tire supplier.

Today I'd like to discuss four different Jamaican soft drinks--two sodas, and two non-carbonated ones.
The sodas are produced by D&G, or Desnoes and Geddes, out of Kingston, Jamaica. This may be familiar to beer drinkers, as they're the same company which brews the very decent Red Stripe beer. The soda selections I sampled were the ginger beer and then the cream. The cream was good, but not very different from a typical cream soda, so in effect it didn't seem exotic at all. I had misgivings with the ginger beer, given my palate. I should explain, I love ginger flavoring in food, and in fact I love the pickled ginger that garnishes the plate for sushi meals so much that I sometimes eat an entire jar of it by itself when I can find it in supermarkets. Oddly though, I really dislike ginger ale. However, I'm pleased to report that although ginger beer and ginger ale sound nearly indentical, my taste buds noted a significant distinction. In short, it was delightful--nice strong odor, and very good, zesty taste. It looked like lemonade, which was kind of weird, but it went down very nicely.
Next up are the two non-carbonated offerings. These were both from Big Bamboo's Jamaican Irish Moss series (this sounds like a lot of different ethnicities for one drink. To explain, though, "Irish Moss" is a name for the type of red algae that produces carrageenan, the thickening agent for several food types, such as ice cream, as well as for this particular beverage). I tried the vanilla and the peanut flavors. The peanut drink literally contains peanut butter, which is strange to read on an ingredient list. The drink tasted like awesome. Or, to be less vague, it was like a peanut butter milkshake, completely delicious. I had another company's take on this in a Jamaican restaurant (don't recall the brand name, but it came in a plastic bottle), and this was great, too. The vanilla was also good, but it paled in comparison to its peanut sibling.
So, to recap, all four of the Jamaican drinks I tried were good, and the ginger beer and peanut Irish Moss were exceptional.

Musketeer Chess, as one of the most popular and frequently visited game site, offers a unique and low-cost advertising opportunity, targeting more than 30,000 unique visitors every month. The partners can choose from the list of standard advertising options or negotiate a specific advertising campaign to fit your needs as much as possible.
musketeerchess.net: Text link – Image banner (468×60) – Image banner (150×150) – Hosted page.
Text link
Text link advertisement is one of the most popular types of advertising, regarding its low price and various options of placing it to the selected page. It is usually used by advertisers who want to make their site better indexed by Google and other search engines, but it is also capable of getting a visitor's attention if it is included in an article, highlighted by a border or background color, etc.
Time period, Price range (from – to)
1 month 50 – 100 EUR (order)
6 months 250 – 500 EUR (order)
1 year 400 – 800 EUR (order)
Image banner (468×60)
Image banner, either static or animated, is a great opportunity to address a site visitor by something more visual than a plain text. Particularly, it is very useful and effective when a new brand or a limited time offer should be presented to potential customers. Musketeer Chess offers you an option to submit more different image banners (promoting the same site or product) and make them rotated at the same banner position, all of this for a price of just one banner – the more different images are shown to visitors, the better is the chance to turn them to your customers.
Time period, Price range (from – to)
1 month 100 – 300 EUR (order)
6 months 500 – 1500 EUR (order)
1 year 900 – 2700 EUR (order)
Image banner (150×150)
A square image banner (150×150 or smaller) is a cheaper variant of the classic 468×60 advertisement. Its main advantage is that it can be easily inserted into Musketeer Chess page layout and since these columns contain important links and information for every Musketeer Chess user, it is a very good opportunity to address them while they browse various Musketeer Chess pages.
Time period, Price range (from – to)
1 month 75 – 200 EUR (order)
6 months 400 – 1200 EUR (order)
1 year 700 – 2000 EUR (order)
Hosted page
If you are interested in the best possible promotion based on your own keywords, then a hosted page is the right advertising option for you. You can provide a full article of any length, containing images, clickable links, sign-up forms etc. and this article will be inserted into Musketeer Chess layout as a new standalone page, linked from the Musketeer Chess home page. The big advantage of this approach is that search engines will be able to find this page very quickly after it is released, and index it by keywords used in your text – it is a very effective method of exposing your site or services.
Time period, Price range (from – to)
1 month 75 – 150 EUR (order)
6 months 400 – 800 EUR (order)
1 year 750 – 1500 EUR (order)

Home Improvement Construction Responsibilities
Parties involved in a building project typically have roles and responsibilities related to the permit and inspection process after the project has been approved by the Planning/Code Enforcement Division or the Planning Commission or both.
Homeowner Responsibilities
When a contractor performs work for a homeowner the homeowner should ensure that the following is completed.
Confirm with all persons performing work on your property that all required zoning and building permits have been obtained from the City before starting work. Confirm that the contractor(s) you select have the appropriate state and city licenses and worker's compensation insurance. Continue your responsibility for complying with building codes, regulations, City ordinances and building use even after the project has been completed. Confirm that all necessary inspections, especially the Final Inspection, are requested and made and that the Inspection Approval Card is signed by the City Building Inspector. On some projects the contractor may place the responsibility of the Final Inspection with the owner. This may occur because the final inspection must be set up after the contractor has left the job or because the final inspection must be made at the convenience of the owner.
Owner/Builder Responsibilities
These are the same as those listed above for the owner. When the owner is acting as the contractor, however, the owner must obtain all permits, call for all required inspections and be responsible for all work performed. Acting as the general contractor the owner/builder is responsible for all persons working on the project and must provide worker's compensation insurance for them unless they are acting as sub-contractors and provide their own Worker's Compensation Insurance

|Re: Experimental Hadoop Cluster - Linux Windows machines
|Sat, 01 Jun 2013 20:27:28 GMT
I've installed CentOS on several different types of old (originally Windows XP) Dell desktops for the last 4 years (i.e. desktops as old as 7 years ago) and so far installing CentOS was as easy as booting from the installation CD/DVD and doing "next, next, finish". The only thing that you may run into is that the specific cpu really doesn't support 64bit. You'll get an error very early in the installation process.

This is Chelsea and Nate! They lived above us! This is the Saxton family! Tia, Michael, and Everett!
This is Kelsey and Brady!
The last time I got to hold Everett! He was asleep when we went to say goodbye!
Surprise Surprise! This is Nathan! Bet you didn't expect to hear my voice! We miss y'all!
okay so that was all that Nate had to say...He isn't big on blogging YET. Hopefully once we get to NYC he'll have something more to say. These are pics from our last night with some of our ward friends in rexburg. Sadly Alisha and Travis weren't in the picture. Alisha has taken to sleeping early since her pregnancy began, but we still love 'em! Also, Scott and Melinda were absent from this late night photo shoot. We were blessed with wonderful friends in our ward.
