Had a total blast - and we absolutely have to do it more often.
hanks to all who came, especially the 2 chaps who did the mapwork.
The link below has all the pics. They are all re-sized for the forum so if anyone wants a full size original of a few then let me know.
Full collection: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v720/col...gal%20Aug%2008/
Only one minor sticky moment early on the first day when one of the T2's front wheels found a boggy hole and sank in - one quick wee pull from the Fronty and we were all good. Plain sailing (not a bad pun given the weather) thereafter.
We found a few good soggy patches - even got my carpet a bit wet - proper order!
Luckily someone had waders to check out any deep looking pools.
The reservoir which had overrun its banks and flooded the track was awesome!
Weather was fab on Sunday.
The last river run was totally cool.
Views were awesome.
My motor has been given a name - Brutus. Blame QC and Moogie.
No breakdowns, no injuries and lots of big grins. Like I said - we really do have to get out and do this more often.
Having problems getting pics to post here so here is a link to the original post with pics on our forum:

Be sure to keep an eye on this forum if you're in Ireland - lots of things happenning this season coming.

This story is about three horses that were living together but fate separated them for four years. In the video below is recorded the moment that the three old pals are going to be reunited, as the conditions changed and their owner have them all three together again!
In December of 2012, Sue repurchased Arthur, a horse that she bred but had to eventually sell. During this period, two of Arthur's playmates from "foalhood" came to stay with her. William had been with Arthur since they were foals and Harry arrived as a foal a year later. Harry and William have shared their lives with many other horses and ponies since Spring 2009.
Would Arthur — a thoroughbred sports horse now aged eight-and-a-half – have any memory at all of the two New Forest pony playmates with whom he shared his youth? And likewise, would William and Harry recognize that little thoroughbred guy who was once their best mate?
Sue arranged for their incredible reunion in an English field where William and Harry had once briefly lived. She enlisted filmmaker Bruce Selkirk to capture the reunion on camera. The five-minute film you're about to see is the editing down of nearly an hour of extraordinary footage.
These animals give us humans a life lesson!
Making up for lost time! These horses remember each other and don't waste any time at all to show their affection for each other. They are just happy to be together. So touching moment! Animals do have feelings and memory after all!

Take some beautiful shots of Downtown LA, mix with former Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher, add in one barely-clothed Mischa Barton, stir it all together, and you'll get the new music video for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' "Everybody's on the Run."
The dramatic video features Barton and actor Cameron Van Hoy running around LA in matching leopard print underwear, chasing after Noel Gallagher (who plays a taxi driver), and a skateboarding thief. And while the City of Angels looks pretty good in the video, let's not kid ourselves about what the main attraction is...
Barton rose to stardom on the immensely popular primetime show The OC, which detailed the drama of teenagers living in Southern California. She has three films slated for release in 2012.
Gallagher gained fame for his seminal britpop band, Oasis, which he left in 2009. He has since launched a solo project under the name Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, who played a lauded set at Coachella this year.
Check out Mischa's style evolution!

The chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee has called for the White House – not the Central Intelligence Agency – to lead the declassification process for the panel's summary of its massive, scathing report on the CIA's detention and interrogation program.
In a letter to President Barack Obama, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., challenged both the White House and CIA, which have suggested in recent days that the agency would spearhead the declassification.
"The CIA, in consultation with other agencies, will conduct the declassification review," Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said after the Intelligence Committee voted last week to declassify the 481-page executive summary.
Attorney General Eric Holder said the Obama administration wanted a thorough review.
"I agree that as much of the report as possible should be made public, of course allowing for redactions that are necessary to protect national security," he told the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. "So I was pleased that the committee voted to send portions of the report forward for declassification."
Holder recalled that Obama "believes that bringing this program into the light will help the American people understand what happened in the past and can help guide us as we move forward so that no administration contemplates such a program in the future."
In her letter, Feinstein calls for swift action on the summary, findings and conclusions of the report. The summary, she says, should be released quickly and with minimal redactions.
"As this report covers a covert action program under the authority of the president and National Security Council, I respectfully request that the White House take the lead in the declassification process," the letter reads.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., a member of the Intelligence Committee, said that while only the CIA could declassify, "We're trying to build up pressure on the White House and the CIA. It's not just declassify. It's to do a minimum of redactions."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a longtime critic of the CIA's interrogation methods – widely regarded as torture – said he fully understood Feinstein's concerns.
"She doesn't trust the CIA. I think she's probably right. I don't trust them either," he told McClatchy.
"This is the same outfit that destroyed the videos of the interrogations. That's one of the most outrageous things I've ever seen in my life," he said.
Jose Rodriguez Jr., former director of the CIA's secret operations branch, ordered the destruction of 92 videotapes that showed the use of waterboarding and other controversial interrogation techniques. In 2010, a federal prosecutor declined to pursue criminal charges in the case.
Feinstein's letter says the committee now has a final, official version of the report. The final version, which came after months of revisions, will be sent soon to the White House and other executive branch agencies, the letter says.
Feinstein has said she doesn't intend to push for declassifying more of the report at this time. The letter also highlights concerns over the CIA's relationship with Feinstein's committee and the executive branch.
"The committee's report contradicts information previously disclosed about the CIA Detention and Interrogation Program, and it raises a number of issues relating to how the CIA interacts with the White House, other parts of the executive branch and Congress," it says.
Although the letter gives no hard deadline, Feinstein has said she hopes the executive summary, along with the report's findings and conclusions, can be returned to the committee within a month. The report is 6,600 pages and includes 37,000 footnotes.
"Hopefully the declassification can be done in as little as 30 days. That may be wishful thinking, but I hope not," she said last week.
That hope was reiterated Tuesday afternoon during an appearance by Feinstein on MSNBC, where the senator said she intended for the declassification to proceed quickly.
"My hope is that it will be a prompt, appropriate and efficient declassification, and that they will lightly redact it," she said. Because a lot of time has passed, she said, CIA intelligence sources and techniques aren't at stake.
Feinstein's television appearance was in response to remarks from former CIA director Michael Hayden, who set off a firestorm Sunday by accusing the senator of being "emotional" about the committee's report.
"I think that's an old male fallback position," Feinstein said. "There's no question that there are a lot of people out there, I suspect one of them is former CIA director Hayden, that does not want the report to come out. So one of the things you do is try to blur the reputation of someone connected with the report."

Kelli Calabrese is an international fitness, nutrition and lifestyle specialist, who was also twice named "Personal Trainer of the Year." She agreed to answer a few of our most pressing fitness questions and share the newest fitness trends you'll be seeing soon.
DD: Is it possible to reset your metabolism, and if so, how?
KC: Metabolism can be reset by: Increasing sleep to seven or more hours a night, Detoxification from environmental and consumed toxins, exercise, hydration with water, Stress Management, and management of blood sugar.
DD: What is the best type of workout to burn fat?
KC: High intensity training using intervals of rest and recovery.
DD: Why do some women have such a hard time losing weight?
KC: Lack of motivation and support, which makes incentive programs like HealthyWage so valuable. Other factors include misinformation about nutrition, sedentary lifestyles, not enough strength training, chronic stress, inadequate sleep, imbalanced hormones and poor hormone receptors, diets too high in sugar and processed foods, and poor thinking and unbelief that results are possible.
DD: Can you work out to build a better butt or bust line?
KC: You can do lower body strengthening exercises such as squats and lunges as well as cardio bursts such as jump lunges, 180 jumps and burpees. For the chest you can do push up, chest flies, chest press, and then boxing moves.
DD: What is more important diet or exercise for losing weight?
KC: Diet is more important for losing weight. Exercise is more important for maintaining weight lost.
DD: Is it important to vary your workouts and why?
KC: Yes. Your body gets used to your workouts, and they need to be continually challenging by changing the exercises, weight, and speed, range of motion, speed of motion, order, time and modality.
DD: What tips or techniques do high performances athletes use that an average woman can incorporate to amp her work out and meet her fitness goals?
KC: Have a meal plan. Have a coach or person to be accountable to. Have a goal such as an event/competition to work towards and work on mental conditioning.
Top new fitness trends:
Whole-Life Training
Health club facilities are now looking beyond just the exercise component of fostering a healthy lifestyle. In addition to personal training staff, today's progressive health clubs are boasting on-site nutritionists and other allied health care professionals therapists and even psychologists. These value added services holistically address all areas of a member's life that impact their overall well-being, health, and happiness. Engaging and assisting members in this comprehensive way maximizes member results, retention, and referrals.
Kicking Members Out
For outdoor fitness, that is. Some health clubs are utilizing their external real estate to promote fitness activities al fresco. Club owners are realizing that many people get bored with the indoor offerings – even depressed or deterred – so they are offering running and cycling clubs, parking lot boot camps, spin classes, and more.
Weight Loss Wagering
Diet contests and weight loss betting programs, like those offered by HealthyWage.com, and are exploding in popularity as both individuals and employee groups from coast to coast "diet for dollars." More than 4,500 health clubs nationwide now serve as "weigh in locations" for HealthyWage.com contest participants, with many opting to also purchase a club membership as they shed pounds with their eye on the $10,000 team prize. This financial weight loss incentive approach is so effective; Fortune 500 companies nationwide have integrated such program into their corporate wellness initiatives to benefit both employee groups and their own bottom line.
Clubs Go Retro
Nostalgia evokes emotion and emotion drives action. With this in mind, throwback 80's fitness classes, in which participants dress in period-inspired spandex and leg warmers and do aerobics to music by Michael Jackson, George Michael, and the like, are bringing the neon headband sporting, leotard-wearing enthusiasts to health clubs in droves. Originating in hipster 'hoods like LA and NYC, this 80s fitness craze is sweeping the nation, proving to be a fun, creative and a totally awesome way to attract new members – and keep current members coming back for more.
Social Media Stimulation
From small boutique gyms to large national chains, health clubs are tapping the social media sphere in innovative ways to stay connected with current and prospective members. Informative and engaging Facebook fan pages rife with workout strategies, success stories, and special product offers; up-to-the-minute Twitter announcements, training tips and topical tweet feeds; online virtual fitness coaching; un-lockable specials on Foursquare; VLOGs (video blogs) and a myriad of other social networking strategies are helping health club purveyors better connect with the marketplace – informing, motivating, and helping them thwart those momentary chocolate cravings like never before.
Club Crawl
In an effort to get members integrated to all areas of the health club and its services, at the time of registration some clubs are giving new members a card with goals to complete for a prize. The goals can include trying fitness classes, completing a personal training session, meeting certain staff members, and using specific areas of the fitness center. This gives members the opportunity to experience all the club has to offer before getting pigeon-holed into only one or two areas like Nautilus machines, or heading right for the spin bike studio. The idea is that the more people the members meet and services they experience firsthand, the more connected they will feel to the club and more likely they will be to try – or at least tell friends about – all of the club's offerings.

Mark Evans <Mark_member pathlink.com> writes:
Perspectives from language author and CS professor who harks back to the days of C's invention. He also discusses C++. Mark http://murray.newcastle.edu.au/users/staff/peter/Moylan.html ftp://murray.newcastle.edu.au/pub/reports/CaseAgainstC.txt --------------------------------------------------------- C enthusiasts seem to be largely in ignorance of the advances which have been made in language design in the last 20 years. C was not the only such language [invented at that time], and certainly not the earliest. In fact, a whole rash of machine-oriented languages appeared at about that time. (I was the author of one...) These languages had a strong family resemblance to one another; not because the authors were copying from one another ... but because they were all influenced by the same pool of ideas... Most other machine-oriented languages which appeared at about the same time as C are now considered to be obsolete. Why, then, has C survived? ... Do these reasons look familiar? Yes, they are almost identical to the arguments which were being trotted out a few years ago in favour of BASIC. We *have* learnt some new things about language design in the last 20 years, and we do know that some of the things that seemed like a good idea at the time are in fact not such good ideas. Is it not time to move on to D, or even E? [Evidently! -Mark] The choice of a programming language is often an emotional issue which is not subject to rational discussion. [Right. -Mark] Nevertheless it is hoped to show here that there are good objective reasons why C is not a good choice for large programming projects. These reasons are related primarily to the issues of software readability and programmer productivity. Needless to say, there were those who felt that "real" programmers would continue to work in machine language. Those "real" programmers are still among us, and are still arguing that their special skills and superior virtue somehow compensate for their poor productivity. For anyone working with almost any reasonably advanced application, it is hard to avoid the use of pointers. This does not mean that we have to like them. There appears to be a widespread belief among C programmers that – because the language is close to machine language – a C program will produce more efficient object code than an equivalent program written in a high-level language. [S]peed of a program tends to depend more on the global strategies adopted – what sort of data structures to use, what sorting algorithms to use, and so on – than the micro-efficiency issues related to precisely how each line of code is written. When working in a low-level language like C, it becomes harder to keep track of the global issues. Nothing in this document should be interpreted as a criticism of the original designers of C. I happen to believe that the language was an excellent invention for its time. I am simply suggesting that there have been some advances in the art and science of software design since that time, and that we ought to be taking advantage of them. I am not so naive as to expect that diatribes such as this will cause the language to die out. Loyalty to a language is very largely an emotional issue which is not subject to rational debate. I would hope, however, that I can convince at least some people to re-think their positions. I recognise, too, that factors other than the inherent quality of a language can be important. Compiler availability is one such factor. Re-use of existing software is another; it can dictate the continued use of a language even when it is clearly not the best choice on other grounds. (Indeed, I continue to use the language myself for some projects, mainly for this reason.) What we need to guard against, however, is making inappropriate choices through simple inertia. [And that includes language design choices. -Mark]

It's really true that network-affect has an enormous influence; but I can't see any way of trying to prevent it from happening, it's inevitable. Just speaking about it in general doesn't add anything constructive. It's kind of like anti-technology doomsdayers telling us we should "be careful," but have nothing else to say other than that (which is obvious).

MINNEOLA — State fire marshals are investigating a fire that damaged a warehouse Monday morning on U.S. Highway 27 to determine if it was arson.
Minneola Fire Chief Dennis Beaudin said a motorist reported smoke coming from Discount World USA about 5:30 a.m. The roof of the building collapsed before firefighters could extinguish the blaze. There were no injuries in the fire, which caused about $200,000 damage to the building and contents.

Most of my life I had thought of Mother's Day as a day to honor mothers, but with the birth of my first daughter on Mother's Day 2005, I came to view it as a celebration of new life and the gift of children. Not unlike other expectant parents, Mr. Chicken Chick and I suffered a crushing miscarriage the year before, which provided serious perspective on the fragility of life and an appreciation for the miracle of birth that I would not otherwise have had.
Just prior to both of our daughters' births, we planted trees in our front yard as a way to reflect on their growth together and gardening has become a favorite family activity ever since. I suspect the symbolism of celebrating lives with other living things is at the heart of why we give our mothers flowers and plants on Mother's Day and my family knows that there's no way I would rather spend Mother's Day than gardening with them in the chicken yard.
Mr Chicken Chick always helps our two daughters come up with creative ways to celebrate Mother's Day and usually asks me for some guidance in the gift department. A wise man, indeed!

As Superintendent Mike Miles enters the last year of his contract, he wants a new deal with better benefits that keeps him in Dallas ISD for years to come.
Miles will make his pitch to the nine school board members during a meeting next month to hash out a possible new agreement. His three-year contract, which expires next summer, pays him a $300,000 salary, annual bonuses up to $200,000 and other perks.
But he now wants a sweeter deal, according to people who have talked to him. Miles wants a salary bump, for his retirement to become fully vested, and to be allowed to consult, which trustees made him give up in 2012, they said.
In an interview, Miles declined to address any contract specifics but said he wants a deal that allows him to see his reform efforts take root.
"I would like a contract that would reflect my commitment to the district," he said. "We set out a plan, Destination 2020, to transform the district. It's a several-year plan. It's not a two-year plan."
Superintendents want to avoid entering their last year without assurance that they will be around the following year.
Miles was up for a contract extension last year, but the board took that option away following an investigation into whether he violated district policy in handling a contract. An outside investigator hired by the district found no wrongdoing in the initial complaint but said Miles violated a district policy by talking to witnesses during the internal investigation. As punishment, the board made Miles forfeit the automatic extension in his contract if he got a "proficient" on his evaluation.
While Miles makes his bid, his allies in the Dallas business community are pressuring trustees to work out a deal. Board members have received emails and messages this month requesting that they keep Miles in DISD. His opponents, however, are leading an effort against it. The group Dallas Friends of Public Education said that as of Tuesday, 756 people have used its online form to urge trustees to deny an extension.
Miles might not have picked the best time to discuss a contract extension.
The school board will conduct its annual evaluation of him in August. And not all of the achievement results needed for that assessment will be ready for the July 12 meeting about his contract. Some trustees also say they will be out of town then.
"It's premature to talk about a contract extension until after he has completed the evaluation," Trustee Lew Blackburn said. "When we decide to renew teachers, we go through an evaluation process to decide whether we want them to come back. We should do the same."
Trustee Mike Morath said the board has enough information already to decide whether Miles deserves an extension. Morath supports one.
"Given the progress the district has made over the last two years, it seems wise not to change leaders," he said.
Some trustees will probably object if Miles asks to be able to consult. Negotiations between the board and Miles for his first contract lasted longer than expected in part because he didn't want to stop consulting with his company, Focal Point. He eventually gave in. Miles has said he now makes less money than he did when he consulted and also served as superintendent in a Colorado Springs, Colo., district.
Morath, who opposed allowing him to consult in 2012, said Miles' consultant work might now benefit DISD if he does it only on his personal and vacation days. Morath said Miles has talked to him about being allowed to consult.
"There are valid reasons to have him consult that benefit DISD, not the least of which is recruiting," Morath said. "You talk to any executive, and they spend a lot of time outside their organization. They do it solely for building up their personal network to recruit people for their team."
In his two years in Dallas ISD, Miles has made considerable changes and implemented numerous initiatives. He made teaching strategies consistent across the 223 schools. Teachers are assessed more often, and the principal evaluation plan was reworked. A top reform effort, the teacher performance-pay plan, starts in August.
But so far, the changes haven't produced broad improvement on state exams. Of the 22 STAAR exams in third through eighth grades, the passing rates fell on 15 of them this year compared with last year.
Miles said he doesn't want to leave DISD just as so many programs go into effect.
"There are lots of initiatives we've started, and it's going to take years. There are other things that we haven't started yet that we want to see through," he said.

Make the pages come alive by using augmented reality.
Augmented reality combines computer graphics and images of natural objects to make a 3D image or simulation. This is used in advertisements and texts indicated by a large A icon.
To use this app in class, the students can create their own video footage to link to an icon. This is good for learning journeys to showcase project work.
It can also be used outside in treasure hunts and discovery trails, where icons are posted around the school. When students scan the icons using the Aurasma App or the iPad the Auras they have created will spring into life giving the audio and video commentary.
For: Students (Secondary) & Teachers
Cost: Free for lite version (Download Link)
Requires WiFi?: Yes
Educational Applications
- Create augmented reality learning objects for lessons for your class / school wiki / website
- Students create auras to demonstrate three dimensional properties of objects
- Present videos, images and sounds in response to visual cues
- Enable students to demonstrate their learning,skills, and understanding of topics across a wide range of learning areas.

Survival of the fittest
Another day another bit of ISK gained, or lost. Depends a bit on what you've been doing. The past week I've been busy trying to make things work corporation wise. Spoiler: it didn't.

Bolivia's fragile government gained temporary breathing room in Sunday's referendum over the nation's natural gas and oil reserves, but the "yes" vote also strengthened the position of Evo Morales and his Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) which can revise the measure that will be sent to the legislature on August 7.
In the run-up to the July 18 vote, radical Indian and labor leaders threatened boycotts and the burning of ballot boxes against a referendum that left out the option of state nationalization. Nevertheless, the referendum also meant a continued rejection of the free-market policies championed by the former president, Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada, the University of Chicago economist who was driven into exile last October after police killings of nearly one hundred Indians who protested his rule.
The referendum, the first in Bolivia's history, included five questions. Voters supported the repeal of the existing privatization law, the "recuperation" of "ownership of all hydrocarbons at the wellhead," refounding of Bolivia's state oil company to "take part in all stages of the hydrocarbon production chain," and exporting gas that promotes domestic industrialization, with fees and taxes up to 50 percent of the value of production, with revenues primarily going to education, healthcare, roads and jobs.
Progressive critics assert that some seventy existing contracts with multinational oil and gas companies remain intact, but these interests were not able to mount an effective campaign against the reforms that were being proposed. On the right, the sentiment of many in the Bolivian business class was reflected in an essay by an American Enterprise Institute pundit in the July 9 Wall Street Journal declaring that the referendum meant economic suicide. The AEI analysis correctly pointed out, however, that a "yes" vote would mean "that President Carlos Mesa will have bought himself enough legitimacy to remain in office until the end of his term in 2007," which most observers believe was the real purpose of the referendum, conceived as it was after mass rioting paralyzed the country last October.
Early returns indicated an 80 percent majority in favor of repealing the existing hydrocarbons law pushed in the 1990s by the hated Sánchez de Lozada (or "Goni"), whose political consultants were the star liberal Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg and former presidential campaign manager James Carville. The Washington-based Greenberg firm represents British Petroleum, one of the multinationals with billions invested in Bolivia. BP supported the referendum, along with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, as did US Embassy officials, because the possible alternative–an Indian-led revolution–was even worse.

BSOD Randomly and when trying to solve Minecraft Java Crash
I have been trying to fix a crash problem with Minecraft and got a few random BSOD when uninstalling\reinstalling Java and Drivers. My wife says that the computer was already unexpectedly shutting down before this.
I am including the Minecraft Crash logs along with the SF grabs. Its the easiest to reproduce. will include link to Minecraft and/or FTB forums once I create one. Gonna keep looking through other posts to find something else I may have missed.

Memtest86 will test your RAM
Run Memtest86 for at least 8 passes so we get enough information to confirm that your RAM isn't failing
Run a Disk Check to scan for errors
Afterwards go into an Elevated Command Prompt (Run as administrator) and type in sfc /scannow
If it finds errors reboot and run the scan two more times
Run SeaTools to see if your HDD or SSD is failing
Post back the results.

New Comp but testing now
It's almost all newly bought and built, but I'll edit with results once there done. Need to get better acquainted with my comp and the tools to take care of it.
Thanks for the links.
Edit: The memory is actually from my father and it lit up as soon as memtest started. Not even one pass and over 1000 errors...should I have done something to the memory before i put it in a new system? I'm gonna play PS3 games and wait for the passes to finish.
Edit 2: Reread and followed memtest instructions of troubleshooting the memory and slots and after errors with both cards even when I swapped slots, I ran it with only one installed at a time. Stick #1 made a full pass with no errors but #2 in the same slot turned the screen half red.
Still going to run memtest on the seemingly good stick (#1) since they are the same type in case it's a gradual degrade or something. Father has replacements but is there any way to fix memory, or any way to get logs from memtest? I have yet to find the option or file.
Thank you TheDoctor44, I still plan to run it all for peace of mind. Will return probably after work in a few days. (12 hour shifts)

The team of analytics engineers at HelloInsights have produced a platform that any brand can plug into to manage, schedule, and track their Pinterest campaigns in the most effective way possible.
Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) November 14, 2012
Science, Inc. (http://www.science-inc.com) today announces HelloInsights.com, the premium platform for Pinterest influencer analytics. The HelloInsights platform helps brands optimize their social media campaigns by providing tools for measuring company growth, tracking popular items, and connecting with potential brand ambassadors on Pinterest.
HelloInsights' proprietary leaderboard, which is a free feature, is the go-to place to find not just the most popular pinners, but also the most effective. Using a unique algorithm, HelloInsights examines factors including number of followers, pin virality, total reach, and audience engagement, to rank pinners according to their effectiveness as influencers. Armed with these statistics, brands can examine the best ways to reach their users, and even connect with the pinners who have already evangelized their brand through Pinterest.
Elements of brands' campaigns on Pinterest can also be managed directly from the HelloInsights platform. Brands can schedule automated pins, which lets them pre-plan campaigns and keep their Pinterest pages constantly updated with minimal effort throughout the day. Brands can additionally view their real-time presence on Pinterest via a "Live Pin Stream" and create customizable comparison charts to see how they measure up against their competitors.
"It's impossible to ignore Pinterest as a critical brand building tool for any e-commerce company, and now the challenge for most, is examining which tactics and influencers can best reach their consumers," notes Michael Jones, CEO of Science, Inc., and an investor in HelloInsights. "The team of analytics engineers at HelloInsights have produced a platform that any brand can plug into to manage, schedule, and track their Pinterest campaigns in the most effective way possible."
The HelloInsights platform uses technology from PinPuff, a Pinterest analytics tool that was acquired by Science, Inc. earlier this year. HelloInsights will keep PinPuff features on the site, including the popular function of allowing anyone access to a Pinterest handle to view its individual score.
To date, a handful of e-commerce companies have been leveraging HelloInsight's analytics to grow their brand reach. Since February, HelloInsights has tracked over one million user acquisitions, eight million unique page views, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue for companies who have used the platform to optimize their marketing efforts through Pinterest.

Responders found the exterior of the structure on fire, according to Fire Chief Joe Schelstreet. Firefighters extinguished the fire within 15 minutes before it could reach the interior, Schelstreet said.

Some people always complain that the god is not fair when they are not have a happy life, can not make enough money, lose something valuable and so on. I know a person who complained that he could not win some Asda Story gold. So he thinks the god is not fair to him.
As far as I am concerned, the god is still fair, if anyone who bothers to the god, the fault may be their own. For instance, someone says he or she does not have a happy life while others always have happy life. I think they may not complain to the god, they should ask themselves whether they have try their best or working hard in their normal times. If their own answer is no. they have no right to say anything. To the person who plays games and can not win Asda Story money all the time. I think they should remind that whether their skills are not true or whether their level is not high enough and so on. So everyone must not complain to the god and anyone of them can have the reason for their own fault on the god.
I know any game players who see my article will have some suggestions to me. Maybe would buy much more game gold such as the cheap Asda Story gold? In order to have more chances to win a lot of game gold than before. Unfortunately, they will still lose much than they get. The more urgent they play in the game, the more game gold they will lose in the game, Only because they only add their money to the game and never add some good skills and enhance their level. That is the main reason they always lose game gold in the games.
If some one who wants to complain to the god and their unlucky fait, please stop there for a while and take a consideration that if you have go the wrong way or if something wrong in your process. After you have done that, you will not face so many failures in your life and also so many difficulties.
That is to say: do your hard in the first, then you will taste the sweet things in the later time. Also the game gold, you never need to buy Asda Story Gold the next time.
Generally speaking, the god is always fair in our life.
