A 22-year-old Bartlett man is expected in court today, accused of stabbing a Metra police sergeant who was breaking up a fight at Union Station Saturday night, Chicago police said.
Caleb Charles Pescetto, 22, of the 200 block North Hale Avenue in Bartlett, was charged with aggravated battery to a peace officer, a felony, according to police.
He is expected to appear in bond court at midday, police said.
A fight erupted near the food court inside Union Station and the male sergeant was stabbed three times in the leg while trying to break up the altercation, police said.
Metra spokesman Tom Miller said the fight happened outside a McDonald's restaurant in the upper level of the station.
Metra police officers on patrol saw a group of males fighting outside the restaurant, approaching the group and overheard one of them who was wearing a green sweatsuit yelling at all of the other people in the group "vulgar and obscene remarks" according to a police report.
Numerous patrons and officers in the area pleaded for him to stop and then one officer heard someone say "he's got a knife," the report said.
When two Metra officers tried to take the armed person into custody, he pulled a 3-inch folding knife and stabbed a sergeant three times in the right leg, the report said.
The sergeant was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where his condition had stabilized, police said.
Miller said the victim, who was in good condition Saturday night, was taken to the hospital by a coworker.
Amtrak is investigating the incident, which happened at 5:38 p.m. inside the McDonald's, said Amtrak spokesman Craig Schulz Saturday night.

Among the feature additions in the latest Hangouts update is the ability to switch between Google Voice and carrier SMS without diving into the app settings. All you have to do is tap on the "spinner," the toggle in the conversation window that already allowed you to alternate between Hangouts and SMS. Now, provided you have a Voice and carrier number, you'll have two SMS options.
Previously, the default setting was for Hangouts to automatically choose the number you had most recently used for the contact. You could also just choose one or the other in the SMS settings menu. If you use Voice for voicemail, you may have noticed that receiving a voicemail from a contact would cause the "smart reply" default setting to change your SMS number to your Voice number. That has definitely led me to confuse more than a couple of my contacts when I accidentally messaged them from a number they had never seen before.
As you can see in the screenshots above, switching back and forth is now very simple. This may not affect the majority of Hangouts users, but for those who need it this will be a major improvement to usability. Perhaps more important is that this is yet another positive sign for Google's continuing integration of Google Voice and Hangouts. For more info on the app update as well as an APK download, check out our earlier post on the topic.
Thanks Mayur Kamat

If opportunity is knocking to improve career options but time seems too limited to answer the door, Rowan College at Gloucester County's new Business Administration Online degree may be the solution to a better future.
Beginning in September, ambitious students will be able to earn an associate degree online in two years. The Business Administration Online program is structured to be student friendly, offering an accelerated part-time schedule with courses taken in 7- and 5-week blocks. In a typical semester, students will earn at least 12 credits. A fraction of the cost compared to other online programs, Rowan College's online associate degree is approximately $8,400 for tuition and fees.
"Students enrolled in the online program will follow the same course requirements as students in the traditional Business Administration program," said Patricia Claghorn, dean of Business Studies. "The new Business Administration Online degree is designed to accommodate working individuals and easily transfers to other online four-year university business programs."
Students in the program will be enrolled as a cohort to encourage support and collaboration, usually taking two classes within each 7-week block. The much faster pace of the program also means that students must be able to manage their time and ask for assistance when needed. Registration, advising, tutoring and technology support are all available online. Prior to beginning any coursework, students are required to complete an online orientation program.
"This program offers the flexibility of working and going to college along with comprehensive online support services to help students be successful," said Claghorn. "The cost of the associate degree is also reasonable. Some students may even be fortunate enough to work for a company that offers tuition reimbursement to full-time employees."
Admission to the program is open to high school graduates, High School Equivalency (HSE) recipients and individuals who can benefit from the online curriculum. Registration is open to anyone in the United States, as well as international students. Applicants must be prepared for college-level coursework.
For more information on the Business Administration Online program, visit RCGC.edu/OnlineBusiness or call 856-681-6245.

Today I was shown an article published in Rolling Stone magazine that declared that conspiracy theorists should be given a huge apology, saying that "Everything is Rigged: The Biggest Price Fixing Scandal Ever!"
The article, written by Matt Taibbi, states that:
"Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game. We found this out in recent months, when a series of related corruption stories spilled out of the financial sector, suggesting the world's largest banks may be fixing the prices of, well, just about everything."
Taibbi opens up his article talking about the Libor scandal, in which at least three, and perhaps as many as 16 of the name-brand too-big-to-fail banks have been manipulating global interest rates, and, in the process, messing around with the prices of upward of $500 trillion dollars worth of financial instruments.
Of course, the Libor scandal was easily the biggest financial scandal in history – MIT professor Andrew Lo even said it "dwarfs by orders of magnitude any financial scam in the history of markets."
That was bad enough, but now Libor may have a twin brother. "Word has leaked out that the London-based firm ICAP, the world's largest broker of interest-rate swaps, is being investigated by American authorities for behavior that sounds eerily reminiscent of the Libor mess." Regulators are looking into whether or not a small group of brokers at ICAP may have worked with up to 15 of the world's largest banks to manipulate ISDAfix, a benchmark number used around the world to calculate the prices of interest-rate swaps.
The Rolling Stone article should not only be praised for raising awareness in the mainstream of price fixing but also giving credit to those who have tried to expose how the globalists rule by fraud and organized crime.
For media, music, movies, gold , gas, stocks, interest rates, and prices all over the world we are dependent upon little private cabals of greedy and mob-like insiders that we are forced to trust.
These corporate puppet masters manipulate everything from the outcome of wars to so-called terrorist attacks. Their agendas are implemented, and we are then forced to keep contributing to them.
In the meantime, the corporate television media that are controlled by the same big money manipulators have gone on the offensive against conspiracy theorists. It appears that the media is fretting over the grip they are losing over the public, their influence over the impact upon us of certain events and issues.
After the Sandy Hook shooting, scores of people questioned the official story. When that happened, Anderson Cooper and Piers Morgan went on the offensive by attacking "conspiracy theorists," calling them heartless and sick. Piers even displayed for everyone a "conspiracy theorist," Alex Jones, and afterwards brought on a panel that discussed how they could kill him in various creative ways.
The television commentator who has come out slugging this time is Rachel Maddow, a Rhodes Scholar who works for MSNBC, a television network that was owned by General Electric up until just a few weeks ago when Comcast completed their buyout of NBC Universal. Now, the names may change and sometimes they swap properties on the Monopoly board, but we're still essentially talking about the same corporation This is, of course, the same General Electric whose tax lawyer was Peter Lanza, the father of the alleged Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza. Peter Lanza was an executive at GE Energy Financial Services.
GE has been successfully evading paying taxes for some time now. Although the corporation reported global profits of $14.2 billion with $5.1 billion of that total being attributed to American operations, GE claimed a tax benefit of $3.2 billion. Lanza would have contributed to the success of GE's corporate tax evasion in the United States.
Maddow obviously would not find herself in a position to spill that kind of information to the public as she maligns conspiracy theorists. To quote Maddow, "The right is taking the gloves off after the Boston bombing. The most influential conservative media online is full-on embracing the conspiracy theorists who say it was the government who attacked… These forces have always existed on the right. And they are now, though, as great as they've ever been. Where are the countervailing forces on the right, if there are any, and where does this all end?"
Well, believe it or not, I have an answer for Maddow:
Rachel, it all ends when the media does its job correctly. It ends when state-run media returns to its rightful place as the fourth estate. It ends when the media stops pretending that they are acting in the public trust when they spin lies that are fed to them by corporate shills in order to maintain business as usual, which includes mob mentality, terror and fear-mongering, Hegelian dialogue, and cover-up.
The way to eliminate conspiracy theory is to be bold and report the truth, and not hide behind the veneer of "everything is the way it seems," when we can most certainly see that it is not what it seems.
The way it ends, is that highly paid corporate shills like you stop hiding behind the template that is given to you that puts the empire in a the light of grandiose omnipotence that dictates what we are to believe.
The only reason why conspiracy theorists exist is because you, Rachel, are not doing your job correctly. While you could be reporting about other news stories that matter, you tend to stick with the agendas that are force-fed to you by the Pentagon and bitch and moan about how your story is getting obfuscated by a bunch of ne'er- do -well conspiracy theorists.
I could go on, Rachel, but the free press also includes citizen reporters, citizen editorials, and people who rather than complain about the failure of the media take on the responsibility of being the media. We have been told throughout the years to be vigilant and now we are told by you to back off because it makes your job of conditioning the herd using tension strategies more difficult.
The truth is, Rachel, people are fed up with reporters like you, Piers Morgan and Anderson Cooper. So fed up in fact they are being forced to watch Fox News and when they see just how far and desperate they have become they tend to turn off television and listen to what you call conspiracy theorists.
As history unfolds it becomes quite clear that our interpretation of news events is based on quick glances at a newspaper, magazine or news program that is funded, owned and/or operated by a corporation that has a controlling political interest in what is being reported. This type of journalism is what you would expect in a country where the press is no longer objective. It usually turns up in countries that are highly controlled.
Countries with state-run newspapers and state-run radio and TV stations. The state of the media has been declared dead by old-timers who long for the days of real journalism, where hunting for the blockbuster story was as stimulating as delivering it. Now those days have long passed and no one understands that sometimes it takes more than a television show or a newspaper columnist to get the whole story.
In fact during a press junket for the new film "All the President's Men Revisited" a film about the Watergate scandal, Robert Redford told the British press that there should be a revival of investigative journalism. He commented that the world needs more Woodwards and Bernsteins, the reporters that exposed the Nixon White House while working for The Washington Post.
While trying to keep pace with an ever-changing world there is a point where we have difficulty keeping informed of what dangers are out there that might harm our families and ourselves.
So we develop a need for instant information. A flip of the switch gets us a news report. We listen and watch for certain buzzwords or sound bites. If we do not hear anything that sounds dangerous to us or if it does not affect us directly we tend to overlook it, or ignore it.
There are times where we have neglected information that may come back and bite us in the future.
That information, of course, is history, and while some of us were nerds and paid attention to it, there were others who felt that anything dealing with history would have no bearing on our lives in the future.
This can be looked at as progressive thinking, or living life deliberately. In these ever-changing times, it becomes necessary to go back in history a bit and see how people then reacted to some of the same things that are plaguing us now.
On a past Ground Zero show, I was happy to speak with Ralph Epperson, who is considered one of the first authors and speakers who spoke of what he called an unseen hand that existed throughout history.
He explained that we make a deal with our conscience to accept different views of history. We believe in the catastrophic or accidental view of history. Or we choose the other view, the conspiratorial view of history. The deal is that we have to decide how things truly are in the world and make decisions according to what resonates with our conscience.
In the catastrophic or accidental view of history, we are led to believe that historical events, such as wars and revolutions were the direct result of some sudden or surprising event. While the catastrophic view is accurate for weather, volcanoes and earthquakes, it does not always provide a realistic view of humanity and events influenced by man.
The idea of a conspiratorial view of any event has always entered into the mind of an average person from time to time. The idea of a plot, or plan that has been contrived for the benefit of the few, or that is not to your benefit is a normal thing to do.
It does not have to be a grand plot in most political arenas. It can be as simple as being overlooked for a promotion or a raise. The idea that you are deserving of moving ahead and seeing someone else get what you want, makes you wonder if someone or some group had planned or plotted that you were not worthy or capable.
When you ask why you were overlooked, you feel that you are not getting the whole story. This is simple conspiratorial thought. However, there are bigger conspiracies that can be seen in government and in political circles.
There are things we see that raise questions, that are unexplained. This does not necessarily mean that there is a conspiracy, and having questions or doubts about a story that you are being told does not mean you are a conspiracy theorist. All it means is that you have doubts based upon how you have been treated or upon how you have observed past behaviors and conditions, doubts that suggest to you that you may not be getting the entire story.
Everything that happens around us isn't always accidental, and to believe that all things in history are accidental is a bit naïve. The accidental view of history has now been reinforced by the controlled mass media. As a result, when most discover the conspiratorial view of history, the immediate reaction is shock, disbelief and a refusal to accept something other than what they've been taught to believe.
The mainstream media wants to convince you that the reporters they select to speak to you on radio and television are good people. They want you to believe that they can be trusted, that they are like friends. There have been many news agencies that have been groomed by consultants and focus groups to put forth an image of "family" meaning that the news team is a part of your family, and that as a part of your family they would do nothing to deceive you or otherwise manipulate you.
But that fact is they are strangers, who are highly paid to parrot the views of the Pentagon, to nourish the political polarization, and create the public Hegelian dialectic of "problem, reaction, solution."
We put our trust in perfect strangers every day to tell us that everything is all right. We do it without thinking. We don't question and unfortunately we accept it as consensus "truth."
However, there are people that think too much. They question too much. They don't accept everything that is said to them. Some of them are always looking over their shoulders.
Some call it paranoia; others call it a heightened sense of awareness that seems to be an imperative in times where news and other information can be manufactured for a desired reaction.
With this in mind let us think about world events and how we all have an opinion on what is going on based on the narrative provided by the media. There have been several events in history that have been traumatizing to the nation as a whole. So traumatizing, in fact, that people are confused about what really went on, and rather than overload themselves with details, they are satisfy themselves with the watered-down explanations provided by the media under the direction of corporate interest. In turn, such media produce news that is sanitized by the Pentagon and in some cases by the executive branch of government.
Very few average people have the discipline to check their views and beliefs with the criteria of consistency. The average person, when listening to proposed authority, needs to decide if any claim that has been made provides verifiable documentation to your satisfaction. Do all of the pieces of information provided fit the dialogue and time line provided?
If they do not then do you reject the claim or do you investigate further? The average person will not even go that far. While the experiences of the world differ do you still decide that what you have seen in the narrative is reality?
Who in the world has the ambition to weigh everything based on what is really transpiring and not what the narrative provides or what the inner core belief you possess tends to cloud?
Contradictions in these thought processes I have described go ignored by the average person. They are forgotten and replaced by emotional belief instead of being replaced by anything dealing in facts with respect to time or environment.
In my life and in my experience I have come to the conclusion that all things are in an intermediate state between extremes. In a fundamental sense, the extremes are birth and death. All that is in between is intermediate. You can divide it all up and break it all down into an eternal state of extremes and realize that everything that you believe and read is what is fashionable for the time and not necessarily the truth. However, that does not mean that buried in all of it isn't a little pinch of reality.
What is reality anyway? Can it be questioned? If questioning makes a person paranoid then I wear my paranoid label with pride.
I believe that being aware of worst-case scenarios or even slippery slopes doesn't make me crazy.
It doesn't make you crazy either, just aware.

POMPANO BEACH — Detective Scott Gooding has a golden tongue when it comes to talking with criminals and police informants.
And now he has his name on a golden plaque at police headquarters, as the Pompano Beach Officer of the Month for January.
Gooding, 26, gets results by helping criminals see the light.
``You find out what`s very important to them, like his wife, kids, girlfriends and people like that,`` Gooding explained. ``And then you tell him, `You`re going to jeopardize everything that`s important to you by not being cooperative.` ``
Gooding`s method yields results. It worked earlier this year, when police were trying to solve a string of burglaries at Palm-Aire, in the southeast corner of the city.
Police uncovered clues leading to a known thief, but there wasn`t enough evidence to build a case. Gooding brought the suspect into the station for what he called ``a chit-chat.``
``I told him, `Listen, we don`t have enough to charge you, but you`re gonna do it again. And when you get caught, I`m going to be there.` ``
Gooding was able to get enough evidence to locate the thief`s partner in the crime and sentence that person to 18 months in a state prison. The other suspect learned a lesson and has been clean ever since, Gooding said.
``Since that day, we`ve had hardly any burglaries in the southeast sector,`` Gooding said.
Gooding didn`t have the chance to talk with one extortion suspect last December. That is, until the man was arrested.
An older woman, victim of a burglary at her apartment during which $35,000 in jewelry was stolen, had been getting threatening telephone calls from the suspect.

YANGON - The UN on Monday warned that widespread criminal activity in Myanmar was undermining stability and development, as it hailed a new partnership with the government to tackle "significant" crime and drug problems in the impoverished country.
Myanmar -- the world's second largest opium producer after Afghanistan and Southeast Asia's biggest synthetic drug maker -- has signed a "landmark" agreement to work with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) at it grapples with narcotics and illicit trafficking.
"Criminal activity in Myanmar is undermining development efforts, increasing human insecurity and threatening the peace process," said UNODC regional representative Jeremy Douglas, according to a statement.
Myanmar was under outright military rule for decades until a quasi-civilian regime took power in 2011, ushering in broad reforms that have seen the former pariah state lauded by the international community and attracted a flood of foreign investment as most Western sanctions were dismantled.
But the country's remote war-torn borders with Thailand and Laos -- the so-called Golden Triangle -- and frontiers with China and India still provide a network of smuggling routes for everything from drugs to illicit wildlife, timber and human trafficking.
"The significant financial proceeds generated by different forms of trafficking in Myanmar are laundered and distort the legitimate economy, corrupt public officials, and undermine stability," the UNODC said in a statement.
The UNODC's country programme agreement with Myanmar, which will last until 2017, covers a variety of areas, including transnational organised crime, anti-corruption, criminal justice, and providing alternative development for opium poppy farmers.
Myanmar's opium production soared to its highest level in more than a decade in 2013, producing an estimated 870 tonnes, UNODC said in December.
The figure was driven both by higher yields and a larger area under cultivation in eastern regions of Myanmar, where ethnic minority rebels have battled government troops for years and political changes have yet to translate into tangible economic benefits for impoverished communities.
Myanmar has also seen a steep rise in the production of methamphetamines, using precursor chemicals smuggled into the country across porous borders.
In June, Myanmar burnt around $130 million of seized drugs, including some 1.3 tonnes of opium, 225 kilograms (500 pounds) of heroin and 1.2 tonnes of methamphetamine tablets to mark World Drugs Day.
Authorities last week said they had seized $7.3 million of drugs buried in a forest in the Golden Triangle region.
As part of efforts to tackle major crime, Myanmar state media on Monday said the government had formed an anti-money laundering board.

As machines take on more jobs, many find themselves out of work or with raises indefinitely postponed. Is this the end of growth? No, says Erik Brynjolfsson — it's simply the growing pains of a radically reorganized economy. A riveting case for why big innovations are ahead of us … if we think of computers as our teammates.

Designed by internationally known architect Will Bruder, the Donald W. Reynolds Center for the Visual Arts is a four level, 70,000 square-foot building that has become one of the most distinguished architectural achievements in Nevada. Inspired by the landscape and the unique geological formations of the Black Rock Desert, the Museum is a striking addition to downtown Reno, an architectural icon, and an environmental statement about our surroundings. The design for the Museum incorporates Bruder's sculptural design style and highlights his unique sense of space, movement, materials, and light.
The Museum features 15,337 square feet of gallery space, a 180 seat multi-media theater, Center for Art + Environment, store and the on-site restaurant chez louie. One of the most dynamic features of the building is the 68 ft. high and 250 ft. long torqued exterior wall. The wall is sided with a black material made of zinc that has been creased and folded to create a pattern based on the rock textures found in the Black Rock Desert.
The Museum building has recently undergone significant physical expansion, with two major capital projects completed within an 18-month period. In December 2014, the E. L. Cord Museum School was remodeled to include new classroom space, dedicated staff offices, and a central lobby where students can gather. The second major expansion which opened in March, 2016 is a transformation of the fourth floor, where the existing outdoor plaza has been partially enclosed to create a year-round event space. Boasting spectacular mountain views, the space has been renamed the Fred W. Smith Penthouse, Nightingale Sky Room, Stacie Mathewson Sky Plaza.

Big Lottery Fund Receives £60 Million from the Olympic Lottery Distribution Fund
Last Updated: Friday 25th July 2014, 11:36 am
The Big Lottery Fund (BIG) is set to receive £60 million from the Olympic Lottery Distribution Fund (OLDF) two years after the 2012 London Olympics. In 2007 the previous government used funding from BIG and other sources to cover a gap in the budget for the Summer Olympic Games. BIG provided £425 million while an additional £250 million came from other lottery sources. The Olympic Lottery Distribution Fund is being wound up following the successful games in 2012 and, per a prior agreement, will sell their assets to repay the funds provided by the lottery distributors. Any surplus funds will be used for good causes supported by the National Lottery.
The former Minister for Sport and the Olympics, Hugh Robertson, estimated that between £100 million and £150 million in funds could be returned to various sources within the next few months and that at least £69 million will be raised from the sale of the Olympic Village alone. As BIG contributed a large amount of funding for the UK's hugely successful 2012 Olympic Games, they are set to receive an appropriate portion of the proceeds from the sale of OLDF assets over the following months.
This is only a small amount of the funding that will be returned to various sources over the next 15-16 years. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport estimated that the sales of Olympic Park lands will result in £675 million in revenue that will eventually be returned to distributors of lottery funds.
The Big Lottery Fund provides support and funding to a number of good causes across the UK and is directly responsible for distributing 40 percent of funds raised through National Lottery ticket sales. Over £6 billion has been allocated to various charities, programmes and organisations since BIG began operating in June 2004.
If you'd like to support great causes across the country and earn a chance to win a life-changing prize, then why not visit the Lottery Tickets tab for more information?

5. Terry Martin puts up his dukes…sort of
The second round had just started at UFC 54: Boiling Point, when James Irvin went airborne for a flying knee. Terry Martin had battled Irvin for a round already and decided to go all soft and not protect his face. He goes down limp except for his arms, which stay raised in an "I'm not worthy" position. Moments like this should serve more as a warning to never lower your guard for even a second — it's very likely that you'll end up on your back looking like a chump.
4. Johnnie Morton thinks he's playing football
Johnnie Morton was a good receiver in the pros and at USC. But does that translate to the ring? Apparently not. Especially when it appears he's just trying to go for a weak tackle the entire time. Morton debuted his new career at K-1 Hero's in June, displaying some of the worst technique and defense seen all year. Bernard Ackah's nothing special, but he was good enough to see when Morton left himself exposed, and knocked homeboy out in 35 seconds. Don't quit your day job, Johnnie — oh wait, no one wants you in the NFL these days, either.
3. Matt Lindland KO's himself slamming Falaniko Vitale
This one went down back at UFC 43: Meltdown, where everyone thought it was just a matter of time before The Law brought Niko down. But nobody expected Lindland to misjudge the turn on the chest-to-chest slam. Lindland gets his head wedged between Niko's falling melon and the mat, taking himself down for the count. What, A, Loser. We should mention that five months later, Lindland got his revenge and took Vitale out, not that it redeemed the shamefulness of this particular night.
2. Bo Cantrell hits the mat tapping
We covered this 19-second shitshow to death in November, but it's gotta be on the list. At EliteXC: Renegade, Kimbo Slice roared in on the out-matched (possibly food-poisoned) Bo "Redrum" Cantrell and quickly caught him with a monster right. By the time Cantrell hit the mat, he was tapping like Savion Glover. Pathetic — ban that yellow-bearded son-of-a-bitch.
1. Bob Sapp cries like a baby
Sap has already made our list of Ten Fighters Who Should Hang Up Their Gloves, and this KO loss against Mirko Cro Cop is exhibit fucking A. Fine, Bob, it hurts getting jacked in the face, and maybe you did break something. But you chose the sport, so be a man and stop weeping like a Japanese schoolgirl. Bitch…


text: Right so this is where I have decided that it is Now time for the Sh!t to hit the fan. This is My Official BHW IM Journal. Up to Date this is My Adsense Earning.(in fact my entire IM earnings): this roughly equates to: 35.39 South African rands = 4.84428937 U.S. dollars in other words...ALMOST NOTHING. But for the last Couple of day I have been working on an Idea and Today I am going to put this Idea in Motion: 1. I have Set up a Wordpress Article Directory Website(still Empty) As Follows: Theme: Article Directory 1.6 by Dimox Plugins: Article Directory Google Analytics Google XML SiteMap Onlywire AutoSubmittter Ping Crawl Platinum SEO Pack Twitter Tools I will add Adsense once traffic starts flowing. +/- 50 visits per day. I will add CPA once traffic starts flowing. +/- 50 visits per day. I have Actually built code for this directory to allow authors to add their OWN adsense publisher ID, and then share in the revenue. Hopefully this attracts MORE authors to my Article Directory. 2. I have opened a Twitter account for This Article Directory, To try force some more traffic. 3. I have Set up a Wordpress MU Website (still Empty) (No Plugins, No Themes - This Comes Later as per each individual Blog) 4. I have Acquired hundreds of thousands of Articles. 5. I have built a WP pluging that generates a random new author and scrapes a random amount of articles from a folder and posts then into the Article Directory Site. It also Generates the Category if it does Not Exits. 6. This is where it starts, I will start the Cron on the plugin and then take the posted articles and research the niche in Market Samurai. 7. If it as a marketable Niche, I will create a New Autoblog on the WP MU Site. until it has about 100 posts. (And add some affiliate product Posts using WP- Robot.) 8. I will take the articles and Run it through a article spinner and submit them to OTHER article Directories. with backlinks to both the Article Directory and the WP site. 9. My Plan is to build some link-wheels for these auto-blogs as well. (I will elaborate On this Once I Start Doing This.) 10. Once the Traffic Starts flowing I Will add Adsense + CPA to The Directory and WPMU 11. After Some Time I will see which of the Niches are doing the Best, and register a dedicated domain directly for that niche and create another Autoblog. This will allow me to do some GOOD split testing in different environments. e.g: Article Directory - All Pages will be interlinked WPMU - All Pages will be independent, yet part of same Domain.(Subdomain/Folder) Stand Alone Wordpress - Independent WP Blog Domain. The Directory Will hopefully start being used by REAL Authors, and The WPMU will hopefully also be adopted by real users, Or tools like xrumer / link farm evolution. MY Target For This is as Follows: 30 Jan 2010 - No Target, Allowing time for Refining Process. 28 Feb 2010 - $1 per Day 30 Mar 2010 - $5 per Day 30 Apr 2010 - $10 per Day 30 May 2010 - $50 per Day 30 June 2010 - $100 per Day 30 July 2010 - $150 per Day 30 Aug 2010 - $200 per Day 30 Sep 2010 - $250 per Day 30 Oct 2010 - $300 per Day 30 Nov 2010 - $350 per Day 30 Dec 2010 - $400 per Day 2011 - The Sky is the LIMIT!!!!! All in Favor say Aye... I have NOT delved to deep into the inner methods, as this is still a Trail concept, but as soon as I have clean out all the stumbling blocks I will post the full method as a GUIDE...Provided it worked that is. Any suggestion welcome. C0nan The Barbarian

Light, heavy, and in between
The musical menu in ATL this week is a little lighter than it was a couple weeks ago (Arcade Fire, The National, Modest Mouse, Man Man, Spoon, etc. within 5 days!) but I'll still be getting out to see plenty of good stuff. On the agenda for the next several days...
Tonight (5/17), The Selmanaires take the stage at The EARL alongside Tussle. I just caught their live taping of a video project at Georgia State last week, but I have a hard time staying away when The Selmanaires are playing. As far as I'm concerned they are, as I've said before, the best rock band in Atlanta. I've also been fortunate enough to hear a couple of the songs they recently recorded up at Lake Fever Productions in Nashville and I can't wait until they're unleashed on the world. Cuz... damn.
The Selmanaires - Selmanaire RockThe Selmanaires - In the Direction of Yes
Saturday (5/19) is fairly loaded, but I will be wandering down to the Star Bar to see Nashville garage punk outfit The Clutters. I haven't seen these guys live since last summer's show with The Woggles in Nashville, and I've been dying to catch them again. They're noisy and rockin', and I've been quite pleased to see them get a lot of attention since the release of their current LP Don't Believe a Word. They'll be sharing the stage with Thee Crucials.
The Clutters - You'll Never Be Famous [from T&C]
The Clutters - 9999 (Ways to Hate Us) [from DBAW]
In a different genre altogether is Seattle-based songstress Laura Veirs. Likely due to her home base on the opposite coast, this will be my first opportunity to see Miss Veirs in person and I'm quite excited. She plays The EARL next Wednesday (5/23). Many of you know that I have a fondness for the occasional singer-songwriter-with-edge/charm type, and Veirs fits the bill. Plus, she's adorable and that never hurts. You may even have heard her and not be aware of it -- she's the lovely female voice on "Yankee Bayonet" from The Decemberists' Crane Wife album. Veirs will be in town touring to promote her latest release, Saltbreakers. Lake opens.
Laura Veirs - Wandering Kind [from Saltbreakers]
Laura Veirs - Pink Light [from Saltbreakers]
Oh, and Bright Eyes/Gillian Welch is Friday at the Fox. Among the other great events this weekend are The Preakness at the 11:11 Teahouse (Saturday night) and the Two Sheds anniversary party at The EARL featuring Silent Kids, Jupiter Watts, An Epic At Best, and Blake Rainey & His Demons that same evening. Surely no excuse for being bored Saturday in ATL...

2007-10-31 10:12:09| 分类: Job interview ti | 标签: |举报 |字号大中小 订阅
If you have been invited back for a second interview then things are looking good! You have obviously managed to impress your interviewer in the first place or else you wouldn't have been invited back for another go. Don't get complacent here though; it is just as important to do your preparation prior to the second interview as it was your first. Your interviewer has probably invited you back to get a little more information about you or it may be that at second interview stage a more senior member of staff wants to meet you to ask you some questions. It may have been that the interviewer has decided that you are the best candidate in his opinion but needs his superior to meet up with you and Vito his decision – who knows. Many employers use recruitment agencies to carry out the first set of interviews on their behalf to save them time and get a pre-qualified shortlist of candidates, they will have briefed the agency as to what type of candidate they are looking for, qualifications, interpersonal skills etc, etc so this interview may be the first opportunity you have actually had to meet your potential new boss. If you have not already sat a psychometric test or aptitude test then it may be that this will be a requirement at the second interview although, again, if this is to be the case then the chances are that you will have been briefed about it before you attend your second interview. Sometimes time may have been against an interviewer at the first meeting and there may well have been more questions that needed to be asked so this could be another reason you have been invited back for a second interview to clarify any outstanding points that your interviewer couldn't ascertain in the first place. Remember that the second interview shortlist may have several other candidates on it and you're your interviewer may want to explore your experience or interpersonal skills in a more in depth manner. One thing is for sure though if you have got this far things are looking positive so you will want to be giving this next meeting your very best.
Your second interview therefore is unlikely to follow the same format as the first. If another more senior member of staff is attending this second interview then the chances are that the interviewer will have already briefed them as to your background and shared any thoughts or concerns with them however there may be one or two questions asked that you answered at the first interview. It could be that there are certain specific areas of concern that your interviewer has and it may well be that they will address these questions in a straight manner. There are going to be specific questions your interviewer is looking to find answers to or clarification of and they are likely to be questions aimed at your ability to do the job should they offer it you or questions based around your past performance with your present or previous employers. So it's a fair assumption that some of the questions will be along the lines of "give me an example of a project you have undertaken to increase your sales turnover" or "how did you manage to increase your weekly output from x to x". These questions as mentioned are likely to be aimed at specifics.
It is fair to say that most second interviews usually follow a more informal approach than the first interview. In addition, the chances are you will already have met your interviewer once and you therefore may feel a little less nervous than on the first occasion so if you didn't accept a beverage when it was offered the first time because you were worried you would throw the cup up in the air 6 foot whenever you were asked a question, you may feel confident to accept one in a less informal environment. Sometimes your interviewer may decide to conduct the second interview outside of the office in either a pub or restaurant. This can be done for a couple of reasons – it may be that the interviewer feels if you are in a more relaxed environment you will let your guard down and he feels that any questions he asks you may attract answers that are more truthful as it appears you are now his friend. Secondly, it could be that your interviewer wants to assess your interpersonal and communication skills outside of an office environment – something that may be relevant to the interviewer if the job role is going to entail entertaining clients socially. Whatever happens don't get lured into a false sense of security, keep professionalism at the forefront of your mind and only say something you would be prepared to say if the interview was being conducted back at the office. If you are offered an alcoholic drink by all means accept one if you think the circumstances are right (obviously if you don't drink you can say so) but try and keep it to one – alcohol is a natural relaxant and if you do drink too much you may let your guard down and you might end up saying something you regret – like telling a joke that was perhaps not really suitable for the occasion!

Column: Patriots fans should still keep Super Bowl thoughts in the back of their minds
Column: Patriots fans should still keep Super Bowl thoughts in the back of their minds even though the odds took a hit with the loss of Rob Gronkowski.
In the back of most every Patriots fan's mind, from minicamp to Christmas, year-in and year-out, is that game in February.
A berth in that game in February seemed like a longshot in Week 2, when the Patriots and Jets "battled" in the Foxboro rain, and it looked as though Kenbrell Thompkins would be Tom Brady's security blanket going forward. That February game looked even less likely in Week 4 when Vince Wilfork limped off the Georgia Dome turf. And thoughts of that February game should have been wiped out entirely after Week 6, when it was learned that Jerod Mayo had a torn pec.
Then again, that February game seemed like a distinct possibility in Week 9 when Stevan Ridley rushed for 115 yards and the Pats hung 55 on the Steelers. It seemed as though "destiny" would be paying rent for a Route 1 apartment over the next few months in Week 12 when the Pats stunned the Broncos with a comeback for the ages. The prospects looked even better last week when the Patriots beat the Texans on the road, despite playing their worst game of the season, and a No. 2 seed in the AFC seemed like a lock.
In seven days, matters have been altered. Today, a berth in that February game seems next to impossible. The Patriots' best player not-named-Tom-Brady, Rob Gronkowski, is done for the season and may never be the same player again. In some circles, because of this, the 10-3 Patriots, owners of the third best record in football currently, now have about the same chance of playing in New Jersey in 54 days as the Jets or Chargers or Dolphins. It's certainly "possible." But it's also "possible" that Bill Belichick waxes poetic about Rebecca Black's new single, "Saturday," at his weekly press conference Wednesday.
Here's the thing, ultimately: we all knew heading into this season that the 2013 Patriots would need to have 2001-like luck to be a Super Bowl contender. Through it all, that hasn't changed.
We already know that the Patriots are extremely lucky to be in the AFC, a conference in which all 11 teams with chances at landing a playoff spot have major question marks and issues. We already know that this team has the "grit and balls," as a great Boston athlete once said, to come through in the clutch. We already know that this team will have Brady and Belichick, playing and coaching, respectively, in a meaningful game next month.
Yes, playing in that game in February may seem next to impossible right now, but as we've learned nearly every week throughout this NFL season, expectations can and will change in an instant.
So keep that game in February in the back of your minds, Patriots fans. There are still 54 days left on the NFL calendar for matters to be altered.

Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
We tried this place on recommendation of a friend. While the food WAS good, I have a few other complaints with my experience:
-they were out of one of the dishes I wanted
-they would not take the Entertainment book coupon: said they are not supposed to be in the book at all
-I had the food on my lap driving home: oil leaked through the bottom of the paper bag and onto my jeans
-the food is costily than at all of the other Indian places I've ever been to
-small portion sizes (except for the samosas)
All in all, we will not go back.
We have been to many many Pho places and this is our favorite. Like many Vietnamese restaurants, and service is minimal but friendly, and the place looks like it hasn't been updated in about 25 years. HOWEVER, we keep going back because everything we have tried has been fantastic! Amazing Pho (the broth is phenomenal), great spring rolls, the best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had, etc. The prices are also very good. ($6 for two large spring rolls with a pile of rice noodles and a pile of veggies and sauce for example.)
We drove out to Kon Thai from Cloverdale because we love our Thai food and usually trust dinehere.ca reviews. I'm sad to say we were disappointed by the whole experience! Notable issues include:
-2 over charges on the bill that we had to reconcile (double charging for dishes)
-they charge for rice! We ordered many entrees; at most Thai places I've been to they provide some free white rice
-They were unable to make the lettuce wraps I ordered because they were out of the ingredients
-The green curry was yellow? and not very good
-The spring rolls were tiny little things (fine, since you got 8 in a $7 order but not what I'm used to): they tasted of black bean and pastry
On the plus side, prawns were cooked well and the banana ice cream served with dessert was fabulous. Service was also good most of the time (they were quite busy, which may have impacted our service).
All in all, I've had much better as Thai goes and unfortunately will not be back!
I have been to WAG a few times before, and it was enjoyable. Returned last Saturday and after my experience will not go back again.
-Service: pretty much non-existant, server did not make any small talk and did not seem to enjoy her job at all
-Food: Chicken burger was OK, but had a really weird mix of flavours/sauces going on. Got yam fries instead of normal fries; they were great but I was not warned about the $2.50 extra charge (wasn't listed on the menu either)
-Drinks: Ordered a Coke, got Cola that had no fizz. For a refill ordered Sprite hoped it would be better, nope. Again not name brand and watery/no fizz
-Ambiance: we sat outside in the sun room area. It was HOT in there (of course, it's a sun room). Would sit inside if we had a do-over
We visited Thai House last night for the first time, and will definitely be back! The spring rolls were amazing, the chicken skewers were real chicken breast meat, the red curry was super-spicy but delicious, the prawn/veggie/garlic dish full of fresh-chopped veggies and over 10 huge prawns, green curry was great, Pad Thai fantastic...I cannot say enough good things! Service was also very attentive!
We went here today and had their $7.99 lunch special, which includes Pad Thai, rice, and choice of entree. The Pad Thai was out of this world amazing, fabulous flavours! The red curry chicken dish I chose was great as well: lots of fresh veggies and bamboo in it! We will definitely be returning to try more off their menu! Also, it's very neat that the owner used to cook for the Thai royal family! The food reflects her experience!
We went here tonight and were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and of the service. Though prices were a little high, we left feeling satisfied and that we had gotten a good value for our money. The spring rolls were Fabulous and piping hot (great sauce served with them!), the free shrimp chips with peanut sauce were a great starter, and our green curry dish was great. Pad Thai was also good; only complaint is that the prawns were overcooked and a bit tough. The banana dessert was Amazing!!! Definitely recommended. Service was friendly and water always replenished. We will definitely go back to this restaurant.
We stopped in at this little cafe last weekend. We were quickly served at the counter but the good service stopped there. There were many dirty tables in the restaurant and staff seemed too busy to be able to clean them off. While we found a clean one I watched a few families clearing off/cleaning their own tables in order to sit down.
After a looooong wait (considering what we ordered), I was brought the wrong sandwich and a bowl of lukewarm soup (not made in house; I asked). My sandwich was quickly corrected, but disappointing as it only had a smashed egg in it and the toasted bread was very very dry around the edges. My son got the kids burger which was quite good, but they were out of tortilla chips and don't have fries so he had to get salad with his meal instead (we found this out when they brought the food out).
All in all, we won't be back.
We've been to this restaurant a few times now, and it's always been consistently good. We love their spring rolls, and the shredded pork/spring roll plate is delicious. The pork is skewer is good as well, and my boyfriend has had all types of beef Pho and enjoys them all.. They also offer some Japanese dishes which makes our son happy.
Service is lacking like with many Pho places I've been to, but still they are there when you need them.
I have to agree with the comment about cleanliness in the washroom; I noticed a few hairs and stuff on the women's washroom floor and this was first thing this morning: the washroom should've been clean!
Either way, we love Pho and this place delivers! We will go back again.
A group of 11 of us went here for dinner last night (they had to put together three tables to fit our party: good thing I made reservations). The place was quite crowded when we got there.
Interesting menu, tonnes of selection. The food was interesting, some of the Chinese dishes had a little too much curry powder for me but was still good. Chow Mein and deep-fried green beans were great. Service was slow: whenever we wanted another drink or napkins of more plum sauce we had to flag a waiter down.
All in all, decent experience but I don't think I'll be back.
We discovered this place two weeks ago and have been back twice already! The food is so flavourful and good: we LOVE the green curry and prawn dish included in the dinner for two ($29, also comes with spring rolls and chicken skewers and rice). The service is always friendly and there's fun Thai decorations all over the place. You have to try this place!
