Actually 1985. Reagan is in the workplace, Dallas is the #1 display on CBS, and the United States oil and gas industry is FLOURISHING. The oil and gas investment fraud lawyer company was booming at this time too. What a coincidence. Securities laws and regulations have changed quite a bit since that time. In those days companies would send out unsolicited materials through the email and cold call to get their prospects. A lot of people didn't know any better. Occasions have changed, many of the older methods are known by public and outdated. This kind of scamming is dying away.
My point today is the fact that watching the consensus, viewing what a vast majority of share advisors believe will happen, after which going on their watch has served me correctly over the past 25 years. It's actually the secret weapon in forecasting the direction of share prices. Bet against the kГјchenherd and you'll find you'll generally win.
The particular Defense Department is now using every slime dog technique in the book to get someone to speak, and if the Big Kahuna is in charge, there would be quite a number of compelled retirements among the officer course. The General is feeling the warmth and felt it essential to cry to Congressman Serta Burton, who rejected their reasoning out of hand.

With its latest community-run production, Ghostlight Theatre treats funny bones and handkerchiefs to the bittersweet comedy of The Cemetery Club. The oft-adapted 1990 play, later turned into a film starring Olympia Dukakis and Ellen Burstyn, introduces audiences to lifelong friends Ida, Lucille, and Doris––who are all in their late 50s and dealing with the untimely deaths of their husbands. Once a month, the widows meet for tea and to air their grievances about grieving before visiting their buried beaus. Ida is ready to move on with her life but can't let go of her husband's memory. Lucille relishes her new life as a spinster, whereas dour Doris prefers to stay bitter and alone. When Sam, a butcher and kindly widower, sparks up a romance with Ida, the play turns both heartbreaking and heartwarming as Doris and Lucille attempt to keep their lonely hearts club together.

There was a time, not too long ago, when the world of opera was dominated by singers. Now it is the director who is cock of the walk in opera houses. More and more, opera as a vocal medium gives place to opera as a theatrical event. This could be a good thing if the director really cared about music and the integrity of the work at hand - Franco Zeffirelli and Piero Faggioni come instantly to mind. But nowadays, directors seem more intent on leaving a personal stamp on every work - enshrining new visual graffiti that are about as appealing and artistically satisfying as the so-called street art of the New York subway trains.
A prime example of this not-so-new but terribly aggressive style is to be seen in the Metropolitan Opera's first staging of Mozart's ''La Clemenza di Tito ,'' directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, who also served as designer. The crumbling-pillar proscenium-type unit first seen in Ponnelle's staging of Mozart's ''Idomeneo'' two seasons back is again used - gone are most of the seashells (a few starfish and clumps of algae notwithstanding) and added are myriad balconies and doors meant to evoke a Baroque vision of imperial Rome. While impressive visually, it is cumbersome, and it overpowers this opera.
Perhaps Ponnelle realized the sets were too massive and tried to compensate with action, for action is the crux of this ''Tito'' - action and costumes. Characters are dressed for effect and are moved principally to create motion. Hardly a moment goes by without some frenetic activity, generally created and imposed on a situation that often begs for the unique focus that only stillness brings.
Many of Ponnelle's devices worked in the aforementioned ''Idomeneo.'' Few of them work here. The climactic aria for Vitellia, ''Non piu di fiori,'' is staged as a flat-out mad scene, as was Elettra's ''D'Oreste e d'Aiace'' in ''Idomeneo.'' Here Renata Scotto twirls around, falls to the floor, even hugs the prompter's box while making grotesque, assumedly demented faces. At more than one moment her actions - directed for camp value rather than for dramatic effect - were greeted with hoots of inappropriate but unavoidable laughter.
Miss Scotto was returning to a Mozart opera after a separation of 20 years. Although a few moments offered her vocal troubles of the squally kind, she nevertheless gave the only true performance on stage at the premiere. In the ''Non piu di fiori,'' she was riveting, dramatically and musically. Her way with recitatives was electrifying, full of meaning and superb in matters of enunciation, as is always the case in her portrayals.
The rest of the cast was on a conspicuously lower level vocally. Kenneth Riegel was, somehow, cast in the title role, and he was simply not up to the demands of the evening. Irish mezzo Ann Murray, who was to debut as Annio, stood in for an indisposed Tatiana Troyanos in the pivotal role of Sesto. She scored a huge triumph with the audience and sang the role honorably under the circumstances. The voice, however, lacked amplitude and tonal quality at each extreme of the range. Ariel Bybee was the effortful Annio, Gail Robinson a bland Servilia, and John Cheek the neutral Publio. In the pit, James Levine's performance grew in energy and nuance as the evening progressed.
Mr. Ponnelle is not the only motion-motivated director opera sees these days. Frank Corsaro - as witnessed in his staging of that popular double bill ''Cavalleria Rusticana'' and ''I Pagliacci'' at the New York City Opera - also insists on filling the stage with frantic activity and an effulgence of props, statues, and extraneous characters. In every instance, the ideas intrude on the drama and consistently draw focus away from the singers.
Those singers also had to fight a conductor - Klaus Weise - whose ideas of tempo, particularly in the ''Pagliacci,'' evoked leisurely Wagner rather than verismo Italian opera. The best singers managed to hold their own despite all the handicaps. Nancy Shade lacked the strong top notes for Santuzza, but she made a vivid impression, nonetheless, as did Alteouise DeVaughn as Lola.
In the ''Pagliacci,'' Marianna Christos sang a sumptuous Nedda, and Jon Fredric West gave us a ringing, impassioned Canio that was marred only by some odd breaths before high notes and a tendency to revert to old-fashioned histrionics.
The best side of City Opera productions is still to be seen in Tito Capobianco's dynamic production of Boito's ''Mefistofele,'' starring the incomparable Samuel Ramey. Mr. Ramey's Mefistofele is one of the great stage impersonations of the day. Quite apart from the sheer visceral impact of his physical and vocal presence, all the visual trickery and stage effects combine to showcase a superior performance like Ramey's. It is, on every level, a triumphant production, handsome in sets (David Mitchell), costumes (Hal George), and lighting (by the late Hans Sondheimer, to whose memory this run is dedicated). It accentuates the music, gives the aural experience a visual counterpart, and is, from beginning to end, superbly theatrical.

Concept bikes aren't relegated to two-wheeled machines anymore. In fact, this list of tricycle concepts is proof there is a growing fascination with three-wheelers.
What used to be a toy bike for kids who weren't ready for a two-wheeled bike is now a legitimate object of innovation. Maybe adding one more wheel is just what bike designers need to add that extra element.
Here we see a luxurious looking royal tricycle made of metal, oak and cherry wood. It also includes 23k gold leaf, a Sony stereo, velvet accents and Swarovski crystals.
You can also pick up more than one kind of eco-tricycle concept bike. Since concept bikes in general are usually geared towards fuel efficiency, this development makes perfect sense.

Right after you sign up for a Perfect Audience, we give you our site tracking tag to add to your web site.
Now that your visitors have been tagged with a unique "cookie," our platform searches for them across Facebook and web sites in our network and serves your ads to them.
We do this by having partnerships with all the major ad networks on the web, like Facebook, Google Display Network, OpenX, Pubmatic and many more. When someone with your site's cookie loads a web page anywhere on the internet that has an ad from a network working with Perfect Audience, our platform "sees" them and can then serve up your ad in that space instead of whatever other ad would have normally appeared.
This happens live, in a real-time auction process (the ad industry calls this "real-time bidding") where our platform bids against thousands of other platforms for that individual impression. It's really cool.
If our platform "sees" one of your visitors loading a web page with ad space from a partner ad network, it enters the auction and bids aggressively to win that impression so your user sees your ad.
The instructions we program into our platform -- the "where, when, and how often" they join auctions -- is a big part of the Perfect Audience special sauce. For instance: Should we bid on an ad impression below the fold? Should it bid to reach someone who already clicked one of your ads? How about on someone who already saw your ad today? These are just some of the many things we figure out for you so you get the best results possible.
Once our platform has seen one of your visitors and shown them your ad, the user may click on it and return to your site. Traditional online banner ads have a click through rate (CTR) of about 0.1%. This means that one out of every thousand times your ad is shown, someone clicks on it.
With retargeting campaigns, because we're reaching people who have already shown a prior interest in your offering or product, the ads get clicked on 200-400% more often. The remarkable performance of retargeting campaigns is why anyone and everyone doing business on the web should be doing it. No matter how memorable or interesting your business, most people who visit your site are going to leave without signing up, buying, or contacting you. Retargeting keeps your brand in front of them after they leave giving you second, third, even fourth chance to bring them back to convert.

The Association of National Advertisers threw its support behind an initiative from the American Association of Advertising Agencies to gain true commercial ratings from Nielsen. The 4A's media-research committee has asked Nielsen to provide detailed audience data from last April and October in 30-second increments so it can analyze commercial ratings trends. Nielsen's data currently focuses on program ratings.
"[Nielsen] needs to do more to refine the process. We spend 50% of the ad dollars around the world and yet other countries such as the United Kingdom and Vietnam have better knowledge of commercial ratings than we do," said Bill Duggan, senior VP, ANA. A spokesman for the 4A's said he could not comment on ongoing negotiations. The group's media research committee is scheduled to meet with Nielsen on Aug. 19 to discuss the issue.
The involvement of the ANA puts additional pressure on Nielsen to respond to requests for more detailed data on commercial viewing.
"We have not yet come up with a plan to offer syndicated ratings by commercial," said Anne Elliot, Nielsen VP-communications. "It is something that advertisers and agencies continue to discuss with us."
Media agencies currently buy data from Nielsen in 15-minute increments, which makes it hard for them to know who's tuning out during ad breaks.
high costs a problem
While Nielsen does provide minute-by-minute data via its Npower system, agencies argue that it's difficult to crunch the vast amounts of data that would enable them to extrapolate trends and variance between program viewing and commercial viewing. Npower technology was designed to help TV programming executives track information such as how well a program retains its lead-in audience, but the data is not gathered in a way that makes it easy to figure out commercial ratings. The high cost of minute-by-minute data has also been a problem for agencies.
One media agency executive said audience information in 30-second increments would provide a more accurate picture of commercial viewing.

Goa 'punished' for its small population: Parrikar
Panaji, Jan 29 (IANS) Goa is being "punished" for its small population base, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar told the 14th Finance Commission Wednesday, while making a pitch for a larger share of central funds.
Parrikar, accompanied by his council of ministers, also suggested to Commission Chairman Y.Y. Reddy to impose a 2-3 percent professional tax on personal account holders "which could be collected by the centre and the money transferred to the state subsequently".
Requesting Reddy to tinker with the commission's fund dispersal formula in favour of smaller states, Parrikar demanded a larger portion of central funds and said: "The state is being punished for having a small population base, high parameters in almost all the sectors, be it per capita, alertness in population control, etc."
He said the Finance Commission needed to take into account the high density of population in Goa, which is 490 per sq km compared to 390 per sq km at the national level, inter-generation equity, human development index, tax effort criteria, smallness in terms of geographical area and the large influx of tourists, while undertaking the distribution of funds.
The state government also made a case for financial allocation from the commission to build a film festival complex (Goa is the permanent host of the International Film Festival of India), a statewide surveillance system, underground electrical cabling, compensation for the ban on mining and other matters.
The mining ban, Parrikar said, had resulted in a Rs.1,400 crore loss in direct and indirect revenue to the state exchequer.

Although it was very noisy, the waitress was friendly & accommodating. The portions are large and very good. The bacon and hash browns are great. My daughter had pancakes as a side and they were very good. The service was quick and the waitress cane by several times to ask if we needed anything else. Very enjoyable breakfast.

My experience started in October 2013 for my July 2014 wedding. I was advised to lie about my wedding date no matter what shop I used…and boy am I glad I did.

I picked the second dress I tried on. It was a beautiful full lace dress with a sweetheart neckline and lace thick straps. I wasn't in love with the straps and my consultant told me they could be cut off during alternations, "with no problem." I never even tried the dress on with the straps since I was looking for a strapless dress. I felt the dress needed a little sparkle so I asked to see some sashes. The sales girl put me in a sash and told me it was probably a hundred or two. After I fell in love with it she dropped the bomb that it was $1200. I decided right there I would purchase a sash somewhere else but I still love the dress. I placed the order, paid the deposit, and was told it would be in around April.

I called in March to confirm an arrival date and was bounced around to several people before I was told I would be called back. After a week of no call I called back and was told middle to end of April. So I called again mid April (I mean it's a wedding dress…I was a little excited!) and was told by the owner, "As you were told in March, the dress will not be in until the end of April." Basically I felt like she was scolding me for inquiring abut my $1000 purchase.

I didn't call the shop again until May 7th (a full week past the "end of april" promise.) and was told I would be given a call back. I finally refused to be called back and said they can either talk to me on the phone or I was coming in. All of a sudden someone was there to talk to me. The owner comes on the phone and tells me she has been calling me, but my phone was disconnected. I asked her to repeat my cell number back and magically…it was the cell phone I was calling her from. She again claimed she tried calling almost a dozen times and I had my phone disconnected. At this point I lost all faith in Evas. My dress still wasn't in and they told me it would probably be there within 5-7 days. My dress finally came in towards the middle of may. I told them my wedding was June 7th. If that was true that would have left me 2.5 weeks for alterations.

When I expressed my concerns that I didn't have my dress and it was supposedly a few weeks before my wedding the manager said they can alter it that quickly no problem.

I go to pick my dress and to my surprise when they open the bag there is a sash hanging inside. Not the one I tried on, but a sash nonetheless. I asked about the sash and the girl just said, "Oh yea most come with sashes but we lose them in the store and never show them with the dress they come with." What?! So you tried to sell me a $1200 sash without even telling me mine comes with one? Regardless the sash was ugly and I will still be using my own but it seemed like they were just playing games with me.

I go to pay and they ask if I would like alterations. I never intended on leaving my dress with people who couldn't even dial a phone, but before I could say no to alterations one of the ladies looked at my file and said, "Oh the wedding is in three weeks…we are full you have to take it somewhere else." As she said this she was waving her arms at me as if shooing me away.

I am taking my dress to another alterations place…and they said that the shop is crazy to have told me it was an easy fix to turn this into a strapless dress. I have to have tons of work done to it in order for it to even stay up. If the consultant had know anything about dresses she wouldn't have suggested that the dress could be easily changed.

Please don't spend your hard earned money here…they are unprofessional, unapologetic, and uncaring about the needs of their brides. Ten bucks says the owner will dispute this entire review, and never once authentically apologize for anything her shop did wrong.

MIAMI — Jose Fernandez was the first one in the postgame interview room Sunday, and rightly so. He established the organization's single-game rookie strikeout record (13) in a 3-2, series-clinching win over the Pirates.
Per its history, little good that happens to the Marlins goes unencumbered. Not long after Fernandez concluded, President of Baseball Operations Larry Beinfest entered and brusquely announced the Marlins had accepted the resignation of hitting coach Tino Martinez.
A source confirmed Martinez for months had been at odds with several players and staff members, including manager Mike Redmond. It recently came to Redmond's attention that Martinez engaged rookie Derek Dietrich in an inappropriate physical manner less than a week after his arrival in the big leagues.
Martinez denied reports that he put his hands around Dietrich's neck, saying his grabbed his jersey. The incident was serious enough that the Major League Baseball Players' Association was made aware of it well after the fact.
A stunned Dietrich, who was optioned to Double-A Jacksonville last week, was at a loss about how to handle the situation. He chose to keep quiet and somehow produced despite unimaginable duress. Dietrich ultimately relayed the story to Redmond. One other person witnessed what happened in the batting cage and corroborated Dietrich's account.
"I want to say that I never physically touched anyone by the neck," said Martinez, who apologized for his behavior. "That never happened. I have made some comments to certain players at certain times that I thought were more constructive criticism on separate occasions. Obviously they didn't feel that way and it kind of backfired on me.
"I just thought with some young players you needed to be a little firmer and try to get them on the right track, but obviously I made a mistake and I apologize for that to the Marlins' organization, my family and everyone involved."

Melissa Rivers Doesn't Like Mom, Joan's, Plastic Surgery Fetish
January 24, 2011 in Awful/Bad Plastic Surgery,Celebrity Plastic Surgery by Lisa Stern | 2 Comments
Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa Rivers are getting ready to team up for their upcoming WE network reality series, "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?" At a recent press event to hype the show, Melissa revealed that she doesn't like her mom's love of plastic surgery.
77-year old Joan Rivers is a poster child for plastic surgery, undergoing numerous facelifts, a brow lift, cheek lift, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), Botox injections, laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, and breast augmentation, in addition to other procedures (See Make Me Heal's story on Joan Rivers' plastic surgery).
"In my opinion, it's like enough," 43-year old Melissa Rivers said. "Stop it. It is a source of conflict, it really is. It bothers me."
Joan laughed off her daughter's concerns, saying there's no such thing as too much plastic surgery and it is part of being in show business.
Makemeheal.com thinks Melissa's position on plastic surgery is peculiar, considering that she has had more than her share of plastic surgery herself. Melissa looks like she has undergone a nose job, cheek augmentation and possible browlift. Given her age, she has likely also used dermal fillers like Restylane and Juvederm as well as Botox.
Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer says, "Melissa has had to watch her mother go through more than the average number of cosmetic surgeries. Most would agree with Melissa that her mom Joan Rivers should stop- for health, safety and aesthetic reasons. But Melissa has also had her share of cosmetic surgeries herself- such as a Rhinoplasty, cheek augmentation and possibly her brows. She has quite a plastic surgery track record herself so far."
Curious viewers can check out Joan and Melissa Rivers when their show Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best? debuts January 25th.

If you are considering having Liposuction done, my best advice to you would be to really do your research before moving forward. Even though Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedures to have done, many people who have moved forward with this procedure did not know what to expect. I am talking about the recovery process, they knew what the surgery entailed but they really didn't know what to expect post surgery. I think when most people look into having a procedure done their main focus is on the prize. They focus so much on how the procedure is going to enhance their look, that they tend to avoid focusing on the recovery process of the procedure.

Just like Joan herself, Melissa was so very pretty before she started getting plastic surgery procedures. It's all just tragic!
Both ladies…stop already!
The image of pre-make-up Joan in her documentary was truly horrifying.
I cannot think of a single person whose looks were improved by plastic surgery. Angelina Jolie had an excellent rhinoplasty, but now that she is so emaciated, her nose looks as if it has fallen into her face.


text: Hey, Am just in the middle of a scrape and the number of links is building up fast! BUT! The problem i use to have in scrapebox was that a .txt file can only hold 1million results (i know alot but still not enough) but there is a workaround for that! However in hrefer what it seems to do is save to the file name you put in the bottom! That's great but that means if im not watching hrefer closely and constantly then i wont know when it is near it's 1million limit and so will loose a load of scraped links until i enter in a new file name right? Is there any way to automatically do this or make hrefer create a new file when it has reached 1million links? Thanks Lewi

First Look! Ashley Greene's Poster for Her New Flick, Skateland
Uh oh. Is Ashley Greene shacking up with someone other than boyf Joe Jonas? Calm down, Jonash devoters, that's just Ashley and her co-star, Shiloh Fernandez on the poster for their upcoming indie flick, Skateland. But we had you for a second there, didn't we? Not really?
Read more to get all the deets on Ashley's latest flick!
It's called Skateland and it centers around Ashley's character, Michelle, and Shiloh's character, skating-rink manager Ritchie, as teens in the 1980's. But it's not to be confused with that other 80's coming-of-age film that takes place at a different amusement park, Adventureland, OK?
According to the film's official press release, it's a "compelling drama which marks the tumultuous transition of a group of high school friends into adulthood." We are so there!
The movie comes out in limited release on March 25, 2011 in New York and Los Angeles. Will you watch Ashley's new flick? Tell us why or why not!

To Go Inside a Work of Music
A rocket and sound expert on why a 1500s song draws and moves crowds
The crowds swarming to hear a single centuries-old song on repeat at New York's Cloisters museum are behaving strangely—crying, embracing or so blissed-out they appear to be on an illicit substance at some medieval version of the Burning Man festival.
The piece is "The Forty Part Motet." A sound installation by artist Janet Cardiff, it consists of 40 speakers, each playing a single voice singing "Spem in Alium," or "In No Other Is My Hope," composed by Thomas Tallis in the 1500s....

Exploring New Territory
The first IESE blog in Chinese
11/03/2013 Barcelona
With all eyes on the development of Asia, led by the unstoppable activity in China, IESE MBAs have recently produced the first blog in Chinese in order to reach a wider public and to spread IESE's ideas, methods of teachings to potential students, many of whom – given the current development of Asia – may soon be leading some of the most significant companies and institutions in the world.
The initiative emerged a year ago from the MBA program's admissions office in order to meet the need to focus the MBA towards new geographical areas and, in principle, to create a project shared by all of the MBA community in China. A number of Chinese alumni have been involved in the preparation and translation of the blog's content and continue to be involved in the development, maintenance and the updating of the platform while they continue their studies.
As Chenghan Yang, associate director of MBA admissions with responsibility for Asia, says the blog's content "brings together, on the one hand, useful information about the MBA such as the content of modules, the admissions process or the advantages of studying in Barcelona. On the other hand, we also want to reflect the day-to-day experiences and activities of IESE in a more informal and less institutional manner."
Allen Zheng (MBA '14), says the idea is that the blog will provide really useful information for all of those Chinese alumni who are thinking of coming to study at IESE, as well as for their families. "For example, we recently added a post about how to get a visa to enter Spain because this is really useful information for future alumni."
Since the blog was launched, the main objective of the five Chinese MBA alumni involved in writing and editing it is to keep it up to date and post significant news items. In the future, they hope to promote the blog on some of the most popular social networks in Asia and to raise IESE's profile in China. All of this contributes to increasing global awareness of the school.

SPIN Versus RIF

SPIN: An object-oriented framework for business rules using SPARQL – SemTech 2009 Video
Holger Knublauch
Vice President
The current generation of Semantic Web languages is well suited to link data and to define domain concepts and relationships. However, real-world applications that operate on those linked data models typically need higher expressivity than what is provided by OWL and RDF Schema alone. SPIN is an open-source framework that supports the use of SPARQL to define business rules and constraint checks on Semantic Web models with object-oriented modeling techniques. This simple yet powerful mechanism makes it possible to define self-describing domain models that can then be used by generic software components such as user interface renderers, schema mappers and workflow engines. Instead of hard-coding behavior in languages like Java, SPIN makes it possible to declaratively define complex business rules and processes. SPIN can also be used to define new higher-level modeling languages with built-in semantics.
This talk:
- Sets the stage with a quick review of SPARQL (incl. CONSTRUCT keyword)
- Introduces SPIN as a mechanism to attach SPARQL queries to class definitions
- Shows how to define new SPARQL functions and reusable query templates with SPIN
- Demonstrates the use of SPIN for tasks ranging from unit conversion to computer games
- Shows how the ideas of SPIN give rise to a new software development paradigm around self-describing linked data models
TopQuadrant Webcast II: SPARQL for Business Rules and Constraint Checking: Introducing SPIN*
Semantic Web modeling languages like OWL offer a standard way to define domain concepts and their relationships. This alone, however, can't fully address the need for describing executable behavior. Using the domain models for data validation, transformation and other application specific reasoning typically requires expressivity of rule languages. In this webinar we show how to use SPARQL to define efficient business rules and constraint checks that will work with any RDF database.

I've been contemplating the events of the last few days. I heard a lot of ideas, thoughts, personal stories, and inspiring directions while I was attending a School for Conversion at Communality in Lexington, KY.
My head is full and I have not reached a point where I can coherently write my reflections and experiences down yet. However I keep coming back to one unexpected thing, and this is a big one for me. As I've previously stated I am big on community, on being around others, and loving those who I share my life with. While I was in Lexington this past weekend, I felt like the people I was around were people that I had known all my life. I felt instantly comfortable and enveloped in love the moment I stepped in the door.
Some of these people I never really expect to see again, but for the time that we shared space on a sunny and extremely warm spring weekend I felt that they were somehow part of my distant family.
This is fairly unexpected for me. With the general anxiety that I deal with on a daily basis I consistently feel uneasy in the presence of new people. Even my strong desire to be with others is often overcome by fear, anxiety, and insecurities. This often leads to missed opportunities.
I went to Lexington to see and to listen to community, with no expectations. Any fruit that the weekend bears will be unexpected. However, for now I am practicing delayed gratification, and not beating myself up over perceived missed moments, because the moments that I caught are worth more.

Editing photos is a very broad subject. When we think about editing photos, we can mean a simple crop or a resize, we can mean effects and filters, we can mean adding text and other layers, and we can mean more advanced editing which is usually done by more powerful programs. We can think of all these things when we say "photo editing", but there's one thing we're usually sure of, no matter what our purpose is: we're going to need to download something.
Until not so long ago, I was pretty sure of this myself. If you want to get really good results, you need to download some kind of graphics software or other editing app, and put it through its paces. This might have been true up until several years ago, but the boom of Web and mobile apps changed this completely. In fact, you can now do most of your online photo editing, and achieve some pretty impressive results. Yes, there are some things you'll still need Photoshop and friends for, you can't escape that, but today I'm going to show you several online photo editors that will blow you away. The future is truly here!
PicMonkey is an insanely strong online editor which I've had my eyes on for a while, and yet never really tried before. I'm glad I did, because this fun little editor is everything you could wish from an online editor, and much more. So what can you do with PicMonkey? Pretty much everything. This nifty photo editor comes with very basic edits such as crop, rotate and resize, and goes all the way to filters and effects, touch ups such as blemish fixes, wrinkle removers and spray tan, text layers, frames, textures, and even themes you can paint on. And to top it all off, it's super easy to use. Seriously, you really don't have to know anything about editing pictures, and you'll still come up with awesome results.
The catch? Some items are marked with a crown. When you try to use them, you'll see a big monkey face on your photo, and when you try to apply them, you'll get the following message:
Note that there's no mention of a price, and I could not find any such mention anywhere on the website. You can start the free trial and do away with your edits, but it's not clear how long this trial will last and how much you'll have to pay if you choose to sign up for Royale features. In the mean time, though, you can use all the features for free, and even if your trial does eventually run out, at least half of the features are not Royale features, and will remain free forever, and this in itself makes PicMonkey awesome.
Pros: Very friendly, no sign-up, a staggering amount of tools, can also create collages.
Cons: Vague free trial and paid option for some of the features, can only load file from computer.
Rating: 9.5/10
Verdict: Try it! You won't be disappointed.
As useful as PicMonkey is, it's a hard editor to take seriously. Pixlr, on the other hand, feels like a full-blown graphics software, with one small difference – it's right in your browser. Forget about friendly and easy-to-understand tools, Pixlr is the real deal, and no one is going to be holding your hand here. To start, you can upload a photo from your computer, open it from a URL, find it online on Facebook and other libraries, or just start from scratch and draw something, if that's your thing.
After choosing a photo, you'll find yourself facing a left toolbar full of icons, a top toolbar with nine different menus, and three additional windows on the right: Navigator, Layers, and History. If you're not a frequent user of graphics software, you might find yourself confused at this point. I admit I was. But upon trying out all the different tools, adjustments, filters, and layer options, I realized Pixlr is a truly powerful tool. One surprisingly useful feature is the History window, where you can go back to any point in your creation process, and see what it looked like. Even better than undo!
Pros: Extremely powerful, no sign-up for most options, can yield professional results.
Cons: Interface is not very friendly, can be intimidating for non-experienced users.
Rating: 8.5/10
Verdict: If you know what you're doing, or want to learn.
Pixlr too serious for you? Ribbet is just the opposite. Built around the idea of photo-editing for everyone, Ribbet is a free online photo editor that's just plain fun. You can use Ribbet to edit a single photo from your computer, or create collages in various layouts. The things that immediately stands out about Ribbet is that it doesn't take itself too seriously – editing a photo feels almost like a game. Ribbet comes with basic tools such as crop, resize and rotate, and goes on to effects, text layers, stickers, touch-up, and frames. There's also an "Advanced" tab, which offers more advanced options such as clone, curves, and levels.
The thing I loved most about Ribbet is the detailed tooltip that comes with each and every tool, effect, and filter. Not only do these explain exactly what you're trying to use, they also include tips on making your image look even better when using this effect. While Ribbet requires no sign-up to start editing, many of the featured are marked "Premium", and while premium accounts are free at this point, they still require sign-up to use.
Pros: Really fun to use, brilliant tooltips for every single tool and effect, and it lets you draw on fake beards!
Cons: Not very responsive; interface is a bit hard to navigate; many features require sign-up.
Rating: 7/10
Verdict: It's the new kid on the block, and needs some more time to develop.
Pixlr Express
Hold your horses, I'm in love. Did you love PicMonkey? Are you a fan on Pixlr but tend to get lost in its complexity? Introducing: Pixlr Express: where simple, friendly interface meets brilliant online editing. And if I sound like a commercial, I apologize, but this is truly how impressed I was with Pixlr Express. Start by uploading an image from your computer, a URL, or your webcam. Alternatively, you can choose to create a collage (you want to try this too, trust me). Now prepare to be amazed by the fastest, most responsive online image editor you've ever tried.
Pixlr Express goes for simplicity, and it succeeds big time. When you start, you have six squares in all: Adjustment, Effect, Overlay, Border, Sticker, and Text. Upon clicking one of these, new options will open up, and this goes on until you zero in on the tool you want to use. While Pixlr Express offers some pretty impressive tools such as Liquify, History Brush, Color Splash and more, it somehow manages to remain completely intuitive and easy to use, even for someone who's totally clueless. If you want, you can even work on your photos in fullscreen.
There are no premium features, no sign-ups, no free or non-free trials – it's just pure and simple editing, and it's gorgeous.
Pros: Amazing interface, super responsive, includes simple and advanced tools alike.
Cons: None that I can think of.
Rating: 10/10
Verdict: The perfect online editor for beginners and for advanced users who want to touch up their photos.
Bonus: Google+
I've known for a while that Google has implemented some editing tools into Google+, but imagine my surprise when I finally tried it, only to find out it's actually the aforementioned Ribbet in Google clothing. If you open an image in your Google+ account and click on "Edit Photo", you'll find yourself on a page very similar to Ribbet, complete with those little frog thumbnails. Google+ doesn't include all of Ribbet's features, only some basic edits, some effects, fun decorations such as face paint, doodle, beards and masks, and the ability to add text. Unlike Ribbet, though, there are no premium features – you can use every feature you see – and there are even some Google+ exclusives.
If your photos are already on Google+, this online photo editor will be the most accessible of the lot, and will let you easily edit full albums, one photo after the other, without having to upload, save and download each one in turn. It includes some useful basic effects, and if you only need to touch-up your photos, it will do nicely.
Pros: Accessible if you're a Google+ user; friendly interface.
Cons: Includes only very basic features.
Rating: 7.5/10
Verdict: For Google+ users, this is great. I wouldn't upload my images just to use this editor.
Do you know of more excellent online photos editors? Is there is one you especially love? Tell us about it in the comments.

Thanks for your articles. I am trying to find a simple photo editor to use on my low memory tablet, for when not on PC using a pro editor. Your description made me want to try I Pixlr Express at pixlr.com - BUT every time on multiple devices I received this message "It would appear that you're accessing pixel with a mobile device. Please download our mobile app instead." I was hoping to use with my low memory tablet but I cannot get to it from any of our devices. Disappointed.
I have been using The Free Online Image Editor (http://www.online-image-editor.com/) and find it very useful
Online Image Editor is my favorite and most user friendly, by far.
You can do layered graphics of transparent PNG and GIF, you can add borders, make them snappy with glitters, add glitters floaties, caption, use speech bubbles, or layer with your own, you can resize, crop (even most gifs), and do SOOOOO much. I'd love to have a software exactly like Online Image Editor.
As of today, it's offline, and I hope it's only temporary.

Oh, and it finally came back. Phew! They must have been updating and doing maintenance.

It's worth to add in your list!
There are some interesting points in time in that article but I don't know if I see all of them eye to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold judgement until I look into it further. Good clause, thanks and we want more! Added to FeedBurner also.
Love Pixlr express!!!
After trying Pixlr Express once I immediately put it onto my bookmarks toolbar, it was an instant liking. I have Corel's Paintshop Pro X4 (which is giving me an 'eadache!) and Zoner Photo Studio 15 (the everyday editor and picture viewer/manager). I could see me replacing both with Pixir!
Ribbet is a clone from a previous editor, Picnik. I loved its interface, until Google purchased it. I thought they were going to offer the same functionality/interface through Picasa, but they didn't.
I think I will stick with Ribbet, it keeps most things the same as Picnik.
I love Photoshop to professionally edit my photos but this sites are great for fun editing. Thanks for awesome article.
It was great to see a comparison between the various online editors.I have tried a few and some are quite good but I'm very fussy about my images and invariably will turn automatically to my Photoshop application.
Im using Pixlr since a year. Its really easy to do advanced editing, which is not possible(or atleast hard) for me with GIMP/PS.
Recently using iPiccy along with Pixlr for quick beautification of personal photos.
This list is nice but I would add one more: iPiccy (http://ipiccy.com/). Definitely worth to try.
These are very interesting for me. I can't install any software on my office PC and sometime had to wait until I am home to edit a photo and bring it to work the next day. Thanks a million. I am also so surprised to see that Google + has a photo editor! Amazing!
Picmonkey is the best photo editing website for me !
Sumo Paint is another awesome option!
yea , Sumo Paint is also good
But that app is for chrome only !
These are great. had used pixlr once. but i still like my adobe photoshop cs6 on my pc.
I'm with you... but I respect the other people which can't afford to buy Photoshop or even Corel.

What Movies Are Currently Playing On Google Street View?
Google Street View is a wonderful tool/time-waster, but its pictures aren't always current. This becomes apparent on its movie theater marquees, like the 20 inside this post. Wanna see a Sci-Fi or comedy flick from years ago? You're in luck!
Village East Cinema — New York, NY
Village East featured Terminator: Salvation, Drag Me To Hell, and the always enjoyable Friday night classic, The Room.
Red Vic Movie House — San Francisco, CA
The Red Vic may focus on old favorites, but that won them acclaim from the San Francisco Bay Guardian in 2008.
Music Box Theatre — Chicago, IL
In 2008, the wonderful Music Box Theatre ran In The Shadow Of The Moon.
New Beverly Cinema — Los Angeles, CA
When this Street View shot was taken, Let The Right One In was just a lovely vampire film with the twinkle of an American remake in its eye.
Alamo Drafthouse— Austin, TX
JJ Abrams and his affinity for lens flares may influenced this Street View shot. The Drafthouse ran Michael Clayton, The Darjeeling Limited, The Heartbreak Kid, and Eastern Promises.
Kerasotes Block E Stadium 15 — Minneapolis, MN
These tress are problematic for Street View and people trying to see The Simpsons, No Reservations, I Know Who Killed Me, or Knocked Upin the Twin Cities.
Charles Theater-Movie Line — Baltimore, MD
The Charles Theater mixed the Sci-Fi of District 9with the cutesy Paper Heart and hilarious <em In The Loop.
AMC Loews Theater - Uptown 1 — Washington, DC
People in our nation's capital love Harry Potter.
Hollywood Theatre — Portland, OR
If you caught Che or Gran Torino at The Faux Film Festival in Porland, you might have seen them here.
AMC Theatres Cinerama 1 — Seattle, WA
Is that the most recent Indiana Jones movie?
Regal Lynbrook 6 — Lynbrook, NY
The Comebacks, P2, Saw 4, Bee Movie, The Gameplan and Martian Child light the marquee of this Long Island theater.

We feel badly for the guy who caught walking out of this Philadelphia theater.

This classy Denver movie house ran Brick Lane and the Hunter S. Thompson documentary Gonzo.
AMC Loews Theatres Harvard Square 5 — Cambridge, MA
There's something for everybody in Cambridge with The Simpsons, No Reservations, Once, and Golden Door playing.
State Cinemas — Logansport, IN
More like cloudy with a chance of LAUGHS at this small Indiana theater.
Loews Jersey Theatre — Jersey City, NJ
This movie palace paid tribute to the past when the Google Street View team rolled by.
20th Century Theatre — Juneau, AK
Alaska loves Brüno.
Regal Green Hills 16 — Nashville, TN
The Golden Compass, August Rush, No Country For Old Men, Enchanted, Hitman, and Awake were all choices at this Nashville theater.
Detroit Theatre — Cleveland, OH
This Cleveland movie house ran out of letters when putting Julie & Julia and Inglourious Basterds on the marquee.
Malverne Cinema 4 — Malverne, NY
I actually caught Away We Go here when the Street View team moseyed through town.

His superstitions are legendary. "They're things I used to do," Bill Parcells said.
When Bill Parcells was coaching, he had quirks. Few people knew of them, but they were there.
His superstitions are legendary.
"They're things I used to do," Parcells said.
In every office he had — with the Giants, Jets, Patriots and Cowboys — he had three statues of elephants, and not just any elephant. The trunks of the creatures had to be raised.
His office floors used to be riddled with tails-up pennies. Parcells believed it was bad luck to pick up a penny that landed tails up.
During the 1986 season in New York, Parcells spotted a truck driver sitting on top of his cab watching the Giants practice from outside the team's complex. The Giants won the game the following Sunday. Parcells gave word to team security personnel whenever the truck driver showed up, he was allowed in to watch practice.
Then there's the dead cat.
One morning while driving on the Garden State Parkway, Parcells hit a cat.
He exited the highway, drove back down the Garden State Parkway, exited again and re-entered the highway so he could drive past the spot where he hit the cat.
Not to run it over again; in Parcells' mind it was the only way to erase the accidental killing of a cat.
And the coffee stop. Before heading to work during the season, Parcells stopped at the same coffee shop — Elmer's near his home in Saddle River, N.J. — every morning at 5:30. Then he would stop at 6:20 at another coffee shop in Wood Ridge.
Over the last decade, Parcells has made plenty of visits to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on enshrinement day. He presented Curtis Martin for induction last year. He was featured prominently when Lawrence Taylor (1999) and Harry Carson (2006) gave their induction speeches.
Parcells was the first to help Taylor get help with substance abuse.
"I'd like to thank a coach, that without him ... man I tell you, he's the coach of coaches, in my opinion," Taylor said during his speech in 1999. "Bill Parcells, I have never in my life had a coach that knew the game of football as well and knew me as well and was able to put the two together and make a great combination. This guy is instrumental.
"I was asked about Bill — do we talk any more? Well it's like a marriage that's lasted 30 years. You really don't talk that much but you know you love each other anyway. And that's the way Bill and myself (are) now. I wish he could be here, but he has situations in New York and I understand and I love him dearly. Without Bill Parcells, I tell you, I would not been able to do the things I was able to do."
Martin used part of his speech to explain important lessons Parcells taught him through "Parcell-isms."
"I was injured one day, and it was really bad. Coach Parcells was like my consigliore, isn't that what they call it in the mob? So I would always call him when I was making big decisions. So I call him, I said, 'Coach, my knee is really killing me. I don't know that I can play with it.'
"He said, 'Curtis, well, listen, I'm a big fan of you taking care of your body first.'
"But he said 'I've always believed one thing, Curtis.' I said, 'what's that, coach?' You know that voice Parcells has. 'You should never come out of the huddle because you never know who is going in the huddle.' And that was something that stuck with me. ... You're always replaceable."
Parcells' birth name was Duane Charles Parcells, but he goes by Bill. That happened when he was in grade school. Initially, because he was larger than most other kids, Parcells' nickname was "Chubby." He grew out of that.
When his family moved to Oradell, many people confused Parcells with another kid named "Bill." Because so many people called him Bill, Parcells kept the name.
There are several successful NFL head coaches who at one time were key assistants on Parcells' coaching staff. One of the most notable is former Browns head coach and current Patriots coach, a future Hall of Fame candidate, Bill Belichick.
Ray Handley took over the Giants when Parcells left. Tom Coughlin, who was an assistant on Parcells' 1990 championship team, became the first head coach of Jacksonville, and won a Super Bowl with the Giants after that.
Chris Palmer, the first head coach of the expansion Browns, was a Parcells assistant.
Al Groh inherited Parcells' position with the Jets. Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis both trace their roots to Parcells' tree as well. Sean Payton was an assistant in Dallas with Parcells before taking over the Saints.
When former players of Parcells get together, they almost always start remembering some of their former coach's favorite sayings. Here are some of those.
"If he doesn't bite as a puppy, he won't bite," in describing a timid rookie.
"He's like a ball in high grass — lost."
"Small corners with great skills can play; small corners with good skills are targets."
"It's darkest just before it goes pitch black."
"Big cigars and motor cars," is a phrase Parcells used to describe players whose successes went to their heads.
Parcells was often referred to by players as "Tuna" or later in his career, after winning Super Bowls "The Big Tuna."
That is a nickname that Parcells has had since 1980 when he was a first-year assistant coach with the Patriots. Parcells thought a player was loafing it in a drills and yelled, "Who do you think I am? Charlie Tuna?"

The Night of the Sorcerers
by Geoff on Jul.01, 2010, under Daily Review
Amando de Ossorio's classic vampire/voodoo outing. This is a classy flick, brilliant solid direction from the Spanish master himself, creating quite a fine looking film. It's neat and smooth with a cool 70's vibe about.
The story follows a group of mostly women explorers heading into the jungles of Africa. They encounter some strange folk tales about voodoo tribes, sacrifice and vampires. It's not long before the females in the expedition are picked out one by one in the night, and transformed into fur bikini wearing vampires, running slow-mo through the jungle, like a Linx advert. It's great! A great cast perform with real zest, Maria Kosty, Barbara Rey, Loreta Tovar and Simon Andreu are all exceptional.
Ossorio shows his experience here, taking a very simple plot, but embellishing it to a highly enjoyable 90 minutes with a film that looks great and sounds stunning, care of Fernando Garcia Morcillo; a real funky vibe going on.
I know this all sounds a bit crazy, but it's actually a very solid film, both in looks and feeling. It's stylish and atmospheric. Well worth a look. Spanish Vampires in Africa: Great idea.

Pre-Match Entertainment
Pre-Match and Half-Time Entertainment at Football Grounds - (extracts from a letter to certifying authorities dated 23rd February 2004)
The Football Licensing Authority has been asked to give advice on the subject of pyrotechnic displays at football matches. Whilst the FLA was unable to do so at that time, the FLA decided that it would be helpful to remind certifying authorities of existing advice and good practice on pre-match and half-time entertainment generally.

"Internet of Things –" the theme of last week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and yesterday's announcement from Google that it would buy its portfolio company Nest, which makes smart thermostats and smoke detectors, for $3.2 billion. The Internet of Things refers to what less hip people may call home automation or automation of the car, controlling devices like security systems through the Internet and wireless networks – things affecting things.
The idea is years old and many mature companies, like Cisco, Qualcomm and Honeywell, play in home automation. What's new is that the premier Internet search company Google put down $3.2 billion, a multiple of between 16x and 320x 12-month-trailing revenue, according to rumors – a lot of money whatever the case – for a smart thermostat. "Google's going beyond the Internet and phone ecosystems and into the house," a banker said.
Frank Gillett, analyst at Forrester Research, said, "This is the year of the Internet of Things in terms of mind share." It's a far reaching phenomenon, affecting machine-to-machine technologies and robotics, other techniques for things controlling things. Telecom provider AT&T is working on a platform for home automation, cable companies may follow suit, and Microsoft, Apple and Amazon will probably have to formulate ways to play in the market, said Gillett.
As far as who acquires what now that Google has made its mark with Nest, the natural buyer in the space is still Google, said a second banker. It can't justify a $3.2 billion price for a three-year-old startup without a broader plan for home automation.
Though it seems like Apple missed the Nest opportunity, Apple doesn't buy products but bits of technology to add to products, the second banker continued. Cisco, another potential buyer of anything networking, prefers to deal with utilities and businesses rather than consumers. Since Google can make money on anything that drives Internet traffic on its search engine, it's uniquely positioned to buy in the space.
Google did not return requests for comment.
One startup pleased with Nest's valuation is Tado, a three-year-old company in Germany which sells an intelligent heating system application. Christian Dielmann, Tado's CEO, agreed that the idea of the Internet of Things has spread beyond technology enthusiasts this year, in part because of Nest's ability to educate the market.
While Nest provides smart thermostats to the US, Tado is the only company "connecting heating systems from different vendors" in Europe, said Deilmann. He assumed Nest was on an IPO path after reports of a $150 million financing at a $2 billion valuation early this month. But if Nest can be bought at an extraordinary valuation in the US, the same can happen to Tado, Dielmann reasoned.

Jews Demand Billions In WW2 Reparations From Lithuania
The American Jewish Committee
Lithuania Jews want compensation for Jewish property seized by Nazi Germany in World War II and kept by the Soviet regime. Rabbi Andrew Baker, head of international affairs at the American Jewish Committee, said it "Was too little, and too late, but they will accept it".
Jewish sources claim the Lithuanians ravaged WW2 Jews and now must pay, even though they claim the Soviet Union was the occupier until 1990.
American Politicians
On Wednesday, 25 US lawmakers urged the Lithuanian citizens to settle the issue this year. 5
Lithuanian Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius Makes An Offer
In March, Lithuania agreed to 46 million dollars from a special government fund from 2011 to 2021.
Lithuanians Blame Zio-Bankers For Their Economy
Lithuania's economy contracted 18% this year alone, and is struggling to keep its finances afloat. "We say clearly that the compensation should be paid when Lithuania recovers from the economic and financial crisis," he added.
Vilnius Is The Capital Of Lithuania
Until World War II, Lithuania was home to 220,000 Jews. Vilnius was a cultural hub known as the "Jerusalem of the North".
What Really Happened In 1940 Lithuania
Stalin sent in the NKVD, backed by 9,000 Soviet troops, and they occupied Lithuania. At the time there were 210,00 Jews, and they went on a rampage of murder and thievery. The Jews took political control, stole everything of value, and turned in the wealthy Lithuanians as anti communists, and 250,00 went missing or were shipped to the Gulags. 4
Germans Free The Lithuanians in 1942
As the Wehrmacht charged towards Bolshevik Russia, the Lithuanians were freed.
Lithuanians Arrest The Jewish Traitors And Butchers
After the Germans ran the NKVD out, the Lithuanians went after the Jewish collaborators, and they were soon jailed and executed. 7
Wanted posters were everywhere.
Justice Was Served
NKVD collaborators were quickly strung up.
Re-Occupation of Lithuania by Soviet Union 1944
The Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania as part of the Baltic Offensive in mid 1944. It is estimated that the Soviet NKVD killed 250,000 white Lithuanians, as Jews reoccupied the country. 5
The NKVD Showed No Mercy
Anyone connected with imprisoning the Jewish collaborators was taken outside the town and executed.
The Lithuanian Holocaust
There was none. Germans were in a pitched battle with Russia, and there were no 'Death Camps'.
What Is The Real Story Here
The Soviet Zionists drained Lithuania from 1944 to 1992. Today most of the country's banks, assets and professional jobs are in Zionists control. They just want the country to pay for the 1942 episode where the Jews either ran to Palestine, Russia, or were tried as NKVD collaborators.

A 31-year-old man died Saturday night after falling out of a moving vehicle on Interstate 84 near Cascade Locks while allegedly fighting with his girlfriend.
On Sept. 28, at approximately 9:02 p.m., a 1999 GMC Savana van with three occupants was traveling westbound on I-84 near milepost 40, approximately four miles west of Cascade Locks. The van's driver, Austin Monroe Herd, 31, was allegedly involved in a physical altercation with right front passenger/girlfriend Nicole Quintana, 30, when the van traveled to the left side of the traffic lanes and collided with a guardrail. Herd, who was not using safety restraints, fell out of the moving van through the driver's open door onto the ground and was critically injured. Quintana then stopped the van without further incident.
OSP troopers from the Portland Area Command office, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office deputies, and Oregon Department of Transportation personnel responded to the scene. OSP detectives are assisting investigating troopers.
Herd was pronounced deceased at the scene. Closer examination of the van's driver door showed it was secured by a bungee cord stretched from the interior door handle to the steering column. The temporary repair was in place because of a door malfunction preventing it from being closed and secured.
Quintana and a second passenger, Jessy R. Walters, 18, were transported to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland for a medical evaluation and no injury was found on either person because of the crash. Quintana did have minor injuries consistent with being involved in a physical altercation before the crash.
Herd, Quintana and Walters, a family friend, were en route from Galveston, Texas, to Portland to move in with Herd's relative. Herd previously has lived in northeast Portland.

Isanti County Profile
Location and Access
Located 35 miles straight north of downtown Minneapolis on Central Avenue (MN 65), Isanti County communities offer the closest tax-free JOBZ development zones to Minneapolis. Highway 95 provides easy access to I-35 to the east, and St. Cloud to the west. The county's proximity to I-35 and US Hwy 169 makes it a place of promise for companies ready to relocate or expand just north of the urban core. It is located on the BNSF Railway's mainline between Minneapolis and Duluth. High speed passenger rail and commuter rail stations are in the planning stages for Isanti County.
Major Industries and Employment
Isanti County is home to more than two dozen tech-intensive manufacturers in diverse industries – including metals, plastics, automotive parts, printing/publishing, testing labs, food processing, and materials handling. They provide finished goods or parts meeting the highest quality standards for medical devices, recreational vehicles, grain-handling equipment, food products, electronic equipment, automobiles, and other products. Several expanded significantly in 2010 and 2011.
Major employers include TEAM Industries, Cambridge Metals & Plastics/Water Works, US Water, Aurelius Manufacturing, Adventure Publications, Arrow Tank & Engineering, and Schlagel Manufacturing. MAPE USA, an Italian-owned manufacturer of engine components, maintains two Foreign Trade Zones in Cambridge. Ever Cat Fuels, an innovative bio-diesel processing company, located to the City of Isanti in 2009.
As a free-standing regional center, Cambridge is home to Anoka-Ramsey Community College, Allina Medical Center and Hospital, a regional library, and a wide array of retailers.
Manufacturing employment in the county is 13.6% of total employment; higher than the nation at 10.2% and Greater MSP at 12.04%. (Source: Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2010.)
Population and Workforce
Isanti County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state due to highly regarded small towns and school districts, reasonable housing prices, and ready access to employment opportunities locally and in the metro area. Between 2010 and 2030, the MN State Demographic Center expects the county's population to grow 53% and the labor force to grow by 41%.
Isanti County has a diverse workforce that draws from 14 surrounding counties – including employees who "reverse commute" from more urbanized parts of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Nearly half of the workforce currently commutes to the Twin Cities. Expanding local employment opportunities have the potential to keep more of these employees in the county.
Wages are typically lower than the Twin Cities core – a bottom-line advantage from local employers.
2010 Population: 37,816 2010 Households: 13,972
(Sources: US Census, 2010 and MN State Demographic Center)
The county is connected by excellent highway access, daily BNSF mainline rail freight service between Minneapolis and Duluth, and a number of trucking options. Business travelers have two airport options: Cambridge Municipal Airport offers a 4,000 foot, paved, lighted runway; and global access is available less than an hour away at Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Airport.
Isanti County is in the planning stage for passenger, commuter, and industrial rail. For information, download the Northern Lights Express Feasibility Study produced by the Minneapolis-Duluth/Superior Passenger Rail Alliance.
