Creating Customer Demand For Your Services
February 26, 2008 by Scott Faver
This article and concepts are dedicated to Michael Port, author of Book Yourself Solid. I saw Michael in October and his ideas that have helped my pitch, sales process and bottom line.Studio 54 has a red velvet rope at the door. Hopeful guests line up to get in but not all make it through the front door. And not just anyone can attend. Is anyone with a check book your client? Or are you selective about who is your client? Three weekends. Three Bar Mitzvahs. Two were great. One was absolutely fabulous! All three were from the same Temple. All three had a similar make-up of guests including many of the same guests. So what made the difference? The first two Mitzvahs had clients with specific needs that I fulfilled, but limited their entertainment options. The fabulous event, that had everyone dancing, par...

By The Numbers
February 10, 2008 by Scott Faver
This week I have a clever way to entice multiple sets of guests to participate in a series games, dances or other activities. During cocktails/dinner visit the tables, be sociable, say hello, take requests, get a feel for the audience as a whole, and check the pulse of certain tables, and specific guests. It's the usual DJ cocktail/dinner banter.At each table ask if anyone has their business card with them. Swap cards with the individual. If there are multiple offers, take all the cards you like, but decide to use only one card from each table for this activity. If there are no cards at the table that's OK - just casually get the name of a person at the table who you think is outgoing. Take notes as you go from table to table. Use the backs of the business cards or a place on your event notes. Once you ... [read more]
Can Paid RSVPs Improve Attendance?
January 26, 2008 by Scott Faver
Poor attendance at one of your December Holiday Parties? Lackluster audience? No prizes to give away due to a limited budget? Here is one solution that is guaranteed to inspire your corporate clients to hire you again this year!Have the H.R. Department send invitations with an R.S.V.P. that explains this year the company will request $5.00 for each R.S.V.P. And then return the $5.00 when they check in at the party. At the check in they will receive their drink tickets, bonuses, and their $5.00 back. Or, they can choose to put their $5.00 into the evening drawing. Based on the number of employees who attend and the number who say, "Keep the $5.00", which is most of them, 100 guests equals $500.00. 300 guests equals $1,500.00! Depending on the amount, the holiday committee will decide to split the amount ... [read more]
"Wetting" Clients' Appetizer For Your Service – The Drip
January 26, 2008 by Scott Faver
This week it's all about the drip. A marketing drip that is. When a client calls, ideally you want to schedule an appointment. But often clients want to take it one step at a time. So, collect as much contact information as they are willing to share. Then be prepared to send them something via mail, email, fax... And not just one item but lots of stuff. Not all at once of course but a bit, drip, at a time. Each marketing piece should stand alone, on it's own merits, but layer ideas about your services and entice them to call back and schedule an appointment with you. Our tagline is - You have the dream... We make it happen! Dream is the emotional word. Facts tell, emotions sell. So we use a D.R.E.A.M. acronym. Dramatic, Romance, Emotion, Ambiance, Memorable.

Chromatography system is a process of separating individual components from the sample mixture aiming to analyze and identify compounds. This system is commonly used to separate components and ions into two phases namely moving phase and stationary phase. All types of chromatography systems work on the same principle i.e., separation of sample mixture into stationary phase (solid or liquid supported on solid) and mobile phase (liquid or gas). The stationary phase segregates components of the mobile phase according to the different migration velocity of individual components. Increasing number of research and development activities coupled with increasing participation of government and private organizations for the development of chromatography systems will accentuate the growth of chromatography systems market globally. In addition, new product development by key market players will further drive the growth of chromatography systems market during the study period. For instance, in June 2013, Roche Applied Science launched His-Tag purification column for protein purification. This new column is featured with nickel-chelate chemistry and is compatible with reducing agents such as EDTA and other salt environments. These types of products will establish healthy platform to attract new end-users and hence drive the market growth. However, high cost of chromatography instruments and consumables will restrain the growth of the global chromatography systems market.

Offshore Wind Development May Come to Texas
This article, The winds of Texas,
Doreen Leggett, Townonline.com/bourne, (June 25, 2003) reports on a recent study suggesting that the offshore wind resource in the Gulf of Mexico may be more promising than originally believed. As a result of this finding, offshore developers have been contacting state regulators regarding the possibility of developing offshore wind projects. The article reports that an RFP for an offshore project may be issued as early as the end of the summer.
But given all of the problems with the Cape Wind problem (see, for example, this prior post), why would a developer want to involve itself in an offshore undertaking in Texas? Well, for one, according to the article, by a statutory quirk, Texas, unlike Massachusetts controls offshore lands up to eleve miles out. Thus, Texas would lease land for project development and developers would pay the state a fee. State control of project lands eliminates one problem experienced by Cape Wind, namely the issue of how to acquire requisite property rights on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS)where a permit from the Corps of Engineers does not confer these rights and the Mineral Management Service, which leases lands on the OCS has no authority to issue a lease for renewable development. Second, aesthetics are likely to present less of a problem in Texas, where residents have long been accustomed to sharing their shoreline views and use with oil rigs.

XCom: Enemy Unknown (360, PS3, PC)
In 1994, Microprose released X-Com: UFO Defense in the US and titled it X-Com: Enemy Unknown elsewhere. The mix of turn based squad combat with home base long-term strategy became a huge hit. Initial follow up games did well but eventually lost their way leaving fans of the series pining for the good old days. Things have now come full circle with the "reboot" of the series under its original name, XCom: Enemy Unknown for newer consoles and the PC. While I went into the new game with some reservations, the core game is still there and the modern graphics (while a bit too gory for my tastes) serve to draw me deeper into the game.
XCom is basically two games in one. In the main phase, you control a stable of troops and select individuals to go out on missions where they earn experience and can grow in ability and power – providing a very tactical RPG feel. The other dimension of the game is an organizational one, where you run your global operations by building and developing your base. This provides a sort of turn based city-building / management game overlaid on the combat missions. What makes the game great is how the two phases interact with each other. Success on missions provides technology and resources that can be used to improve and do research in the home base mode. Performing research in your home base eventually results in improved tools and equipment which can be equipped by your troops when they go out on missions.
I enjoy fiddling around in the base menus and being given the choice of what sorts of research in which I specialize, and digging out and setting up my base just how I want. However, I am pleasantly surprised how much I am enjoying the squad based combat. I knew I would enjoy the turn based combat options and the role playing aspects as my troops slowly increase in level (if I can keep them alive) but I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying the story and mood of the game. Combat is not running in with guns blazing, troops must wind their way slowly by hopping from cover to cover. One short rest in an exposed area and it's goodbye little troop friend. Adding to the suspense, combat nearly always starts with the aliens in unknown locations, providing plenty of suspense for those initial few rounds while your troops are trying to scout the area. It's rare for a turn based game to be able to project such a rich sense of suspense and fear.
Gamers looking for a shoot-em-up should look elsewhere, but nearly everyone else will find something to like in this richly themed strategy game. The diverse elements (combat, research, base building, resource management) all come together to make something greater than their individual parts. I know of no greater compliment than to state I would be comfortable with this version of XCom representing the series for future gaming generations.
Kid Factor: As a strategy game, it requires a bit of reading to navigate the menus and some planning abilities to be successful. This puts the game beyond most young kids into the early teens market. With an ESRB of "M" due to language and gore, it isn't the sort of game to be playing in front of little kids. I didn't find the language too bad, but the depictions of gore when destroying the aliens is fairly graphic. Since they're aliens, I'd be tempted to cut the game some slack, but your milage may vary. Be aware that the game does emphasize a sort of suspense/horror theme during combat and I would pair that with the strategy requirements to decide whether the game is appropriate for a specific kid.

Not only will this game generate enormous classic Minesweeper puzzles for you, it also supplies three Minesweeper variants that turn the classic game on its head. Finally, there's a "Final Frontier" progressive quest mode that feeds you 100 mixed challenges in a row, which is enough to keep you busy for a while. This game has a ton of content for $1.99, as well as stellar production values, but the one thing it doesn't seem to do is let you play an untimed game, and that's a big oversight. Still, it absolutely merits a 3."

Leaked schematics for the upcoming fifth generation iPad indicate a much thinner model is inbound, with a design ethos similar to Apple's iPad mini. Acquired by nowhereelse.fr, the alleged blueprints reveal the device will be just 7.9mm thick—the iPad mini is 7.2mm—which is a lot slimmer than Apple's current model.
In the comparison mockup above, you can see how big of a difference the redesign could make as far as thickness—it'll also allegedly somewhere narrower and not quite as tall. 9to5Mac provided our best look at how an iPad mini-like design would translate to a larger model, and it definitely looks very slick. It's not difficult to predict Apple moving in this direction with its best-selling tablet, especially when one of the more liked features of the mini was its design.

ROSWELL - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that police officers working overnight in Roswell have been ordered to meet goals for drunken driving arrests or face transfer to another shift.
The newspaper says it obtained a memo sent by a shift supervisor in January saying a goal of 25 DUI arrests a year has become mandatory.
It says an officer was transferred off that shift less than two weeks later after not keeping up with other officers on the number of arrests.
The newspaper says DUI arrests have increased sharply this year in the north Fulton County city.
Roswell police say the DUI goal is one of several benchmarks for officer productivity and that to call it a quota is misleading.

If you try to sell things to businesses (as I do in the context of GrantTree), you'll notice a split in the mindset of people who run companies.
"Can I have it for free?"
Some people are unwilling to pay for anything. No matter how appealing the product might seem, how tangible the benefits it brings, how proven, safe, secure, universally lauded the product is, some people will try to get it for free, and not buy it if they can't.
Even if you're providing a service (which, as I've argued before, has immediate tangible value in most people's minds), they will ask if you can do it for free. Or at a 90+% discount. Or maybe you can get paid later.
In the worst incarnation of the zero-cost entrepreneur, you find people who will offer you shares in their business in exchange for your work. I call this one the worst, because I feel very strongly that founders should treasure their shares like the precious life-blood they are. Also, as previously pointed out, experienced entrepreneurs know the value of equity and preserve it. If someone offers you shares in exchange for your work, they obviously don't understand the value of their own equity - or perhaps they just think their equity is worthless. In either case, their equity is indeed mostly worthless.
This zero-cost entrepreneur mindset is more likely in young businesses by new entrepreneurs, than in later efforts. As a business grows or an entrepreneur acquires experience, a seemingly magical transition occurs. Most businesses come to a point where they decide that spending money for tangible benefits is fine. Before: "no way, we're not spending anything on recruitment, where can we advertise for free?"; after: "$350 for a Stackoverflow advert is fine if it will give us a selection of good candidates".
Even more dramatically, the mindset shifts from "we want everything for free" towards "stuff that's given away for free isn't really worth anything". This is somewhat similar to the App Store mindset that free apps are worse than paid apps, so don't even bother looking at the free apps, because your time is more valuable than the $2 you might save.
GrantTree charges a refundable setup fee to get started, and while we've had people tell us they didn't want to pay it (they didn't become our clients), we've also had others telling us that if we hadn't charged them a setup fee, they wouldn't have taken seriously (they did become our clients).
So, what's the deal here? Is one mindset better than the other? Are zero-cost entrepreneurs "bad"? Should they be lumped in with people who offer up equity for bits of work that really don't deserve it?
Credit cards and paying for things
Here's an interesting parallel with the domestic world. On a personal level, people often evolve through (at least) three phases of credit-worthiness.
First, people (at least in the UK and US) often get credit cards before they're ready for them. What happens then is sadly predictable: they overspend and get in debt. A lot of people never seem to get past this stage 0 of financial responsibility by themselves. They stay in debt, let their debt balloon, maybe declare personal bankruptcy, and at that point, they're forced by the system to go to stage 1: learning to be on top of their expenses (because they can't do anything else, since they have no credit).
In stage 1, the person learns to be financially responsible, to manage their expenses tightly enough to make sure they can always pay their rent and other essentials. Finally, once a level of confidence about personal cash flow management has been built, they can progress to stage 2: responsibly using advanced financial instruments like credit cards (which is possible!).
The evolution of business owners seems similar, with perhaps fewer people stuck on stage 0, at least in the parts of the world, outside the Valley, where money is scarce (I don't have enough direct experience of SV startups to comment here, although it does seem that they are quite willing to take on large fixed expenses without any way to sustain them other than raising further investment).
Stage 0 being a willingness to spend without control, stage 1 is the time when control is built, when founders learn how important it is to keep track of cash flow, reduce fixed expenses, etc. Since this new control is a reaction to a fear of stage 0, it is often an overreaction. "Since keeping on top of expenses is difficult, let's not spend anything".
Is it unhealthy? No, I don't think so. If you don't feel confident managing your cash flow, it's very reasonable that you should cut down your expenses as much as possible. This is why investment is dangerous to new founders: it enables them to let their expenses grow without learning the hard lessons of keeping on top of cash flow. Perhaps this also explains why so many Silicon Valley VCs feel compelled to bring in a "grown-up" to manage the business more closely, when they invest a large sum into a promising startup.
At the same time, I think it's important not to think that stage 1 is the best place to be. Overreaction is not a healthy long-term lifestyle choice.
The healthy path is, as always, in the middle. You do need to be on top of your cash flow, but spending when it makes sense does, well, make sense.
If you can spend $100 and save yourself a day of work, you should not hesitate to do so. Even if your company is pre-revenue (perhaps especially so), being able to move quickly, when you know where you're going and how to get there without falling, is important and worth investing in. Learning to leverage your cash reserves to generate more income faster is as essential as learning to keep cash in the bank.
There are many things that need to happen in a business, and most of them are not critical for you to do personally. For those, you should bring in other people or products, and if you want good work out of them, you'll have to pay for them.
So, I guess the take-away from this article is:
- being out of control of your spending is bad;
- cutting down your spending to the minimum is a natural reaction to the fear of being out of control, and you should keep costs as close to zero as possible until you are in control;
- the best situation is to be in control and have the willingness and judgement to spend money where it makes sense, rather than try to keep every cost to zero forever.

It's no secret that we love H20 Plus and all the goodies part of the Spa line. The H2O Plus Spa Hydrating Body Butter has been placed in our washroom at work and has made us a hit in the office.
The reason is that the body butter smells good, but at the same time it's light and moisturizing. The scent isn't overwhelming enough to bother anyone else in the office, but once in a while, you will be able to get a whiff of it on your own hands.
Oh, and unlike most body butters, this doesn't have an overly thick or greasy texture which makes it perfect for this time of year – when you need some moisturization but don't want to be covered in goo.
Which brings me to ask: what products are you using at this time of year?

Fall is a big season for laptop manufacturers and retailers. It encompasses back-to-school purchases and much of the holiday shopping season. This means there's a lot of stores offering deals to attract a crowd. It's a buyer's market.
But what do you buy? Now that's a tough question. There are a lot of good laptops on the market and many categories to choose from. Ultrabooks, multimedia laptops, gaming laptops, ultraportables – and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Luckily for you, we've narrowed down the search to the five best laptops that every laptop buyer should consider.
Acer Aspire Timeline M5
The Acer Aspire Timeline M5 is the best ultrabook on the market. Surprisingly, it's also one of the most affordable thanks to a base MSRP of $680.
The M5 is available in either a 14-inch or 15-inch version. It's thicker than the thinnest ultrabooks, though that's not entirely a disadvantage. Ignoring the laptop market's rendition of The Biggest Loser allows Acer to offer this product at reasonable prices without sacrificing build quality or performance.
In fact, the M5 offers the most powerful graphics solution in any ultrabook sold today. The NVIDIA GT 640M packed inside is capable of proper gaming, even in modern titles, though you'll often be restricted to medium detail. Don't think the GPU will break your budget, either. Choosing the discrete graphics upgrade raises the price by only $100.
There's more. The battery is decent. The keyboard is enjoyable. The touchpad is large. It even has an optical drive. What else could you ask for?
Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530
If you want an inexpensive but functional laptop, look no further. You've found it. The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E530 is easily the best laptop you can buy for under $600.
There are a couple reasons why the E530 is awesome and they are all rooted in its ThinkPad heritage. Keyboard quality beats the pants off the typical consumer laptop and the touchpad is also a joy to use. You may end up ignoring it, however, because the E530 includes a trackpointer. All Edges come with Lenovo's useful Think Vantage software suite as a bonus.
Other advantages include an optional anti-glare display, excellent endurance with the inexpensive 6-cell extended battery and a starting price under $500. The Edge is not the most attractive laptop, and it's definitely not the thinnest, but you won't find a more usable computer for less.
ASUS G55 and G75
Recommending a gaming laptop is difficult because there are so many excellent options. Still, if pressed to provide a definitive choice, I always recommend the ASUS G-Series The 5 Best Gaming Laptops to Buy Now [Gadget Corner] The 5 Best Gaming Laptops to Buy Now [Gadget Corner] Read More .
ASUS has been a leader in the gaming laptop market ever since it introduced the original G-Series laptops years ago. Those products have been refined into the excellent matte-black slaps of gaming goodness available today.
It's not the performance that makes the G-Series exceptional. Truth be told, most laptops of similar price offer similar performance. What makes the G-Series stand out is its everyday usability. These laptops can game, but you can also use them just like any other desktop replacement. They have excellent keyboards, good touchpads and some are available with matte displays that can be used in sunlit rooms that would render a glossy display unreadable.
These laptops are also affordable. Prices start at around $1,200 and max out around $2,000. Most competitors don't even both offering a 15.6" gaming laptop below $1,500.
Apple MacBook Air 13.3"
You didn't think that this article would get away without an Apple product, did you? Of course not. This isn't merely a handout, however. Apple's MacBook Air 13.3" remains one of the best laptops on the market.
There are a couple reasons why it's great. One is its size and weight. The Air is no longer the thinnest laptop on the market, but it's the thinnest laptop anyone actually wants to buy. It also manages to provide much better battery life than competitors of similar girth. Laptops of this size are meant to be portable, so that's kind of a big deal.
Other advantages include a great display, excellent keyboard and a touchpad that continues to beat the world years after its introduction. The Air also benefits from the Macification of the competition. Repairing this laptop is a bit of a pain and upgrades are nearly impossible – but the PC alternatives have made the same sacrifices in their attempts to replicate the Air's success.
Samsung Chromebook Series 550
I'm probably the only laptop reviewer on the Internet who likes the Chromebook. No matter. I don't at all mind being the only person that's correct.
I know what you're thinking. But it can't do anything without Internet access! Well, first, that's no longer true. You can now use Google Docs and many Chrome apps offline. Second, who cares? When's the last time you used a laptop without having access to the Internet? I can't remember ever doing so over the last year.
But enough with the defense. Here's why the Chromebook rocks. It is small and light. It has great battery life. It comes standard with a matte display. It offers a better processor than any ultraportable that has an MSRP within $100 dollars. And it provides a much better web browsing experience than any ultraportable sold for under $800.
It's what the netbook was supposed to be, but never was – a computer that provides an amazing browsing experience at a very low price.
Obviously, narrowing down a list to just the five best laptops is going to leave out a lot of good products. Some laptops that I considered by ultimately did not choose include the HP Envy 14 Spectre, the Lenovo ThinkPad T430s and the ASUS N56.
Do you agree with these choices, or has another laptop caught your attention? Let us know in the comments.

Have you considered Asus N76VM (17.3 inch) Notebook Core i7 (2670QM) 2.2GHz 8GB 750GB Blu Ray Combo WLAN BT Webcam Windows 7 HP (Nvidia GT635M 2GB Dedicated Graphics) - not far short of perfection for me!
have a look to ASUS U36SG-AS71
Yo opto por la Chromebook hehehehe!! <3
Today laptops are available in such a great varieties making it very tough to select one
Cromebooks have an MSRP for $100??
When i went to the website it's shows the starting price as $249 for the basic chromebook.
Kv19771: You misunderstood the sentance, which was easy to do if you weren't reading carefully. As written, it reads: "It offers a better processor than any ultraportable that has an MSRP within $100 dollars," meaning you won't find an ultraportable with a better processor unless you spend at least $100 more. Atleast that's how I understood it. I also just happened to read the article accompanying the giveaway of a Chromebook where it gives its MSRP as $249.
Asus ux31a rocks too
Waiting for the ux21a with the 1080p display.
Or hoping that the HP sleekbooks being released in october have a 1080p option.
asus looks good. but mac all the way!!
I'm drooling over here! :)
great article, thank you for sharing. I use articles like this combined with Consumer Reports to make an educated buying decision.
I love the Macbooks! I'm trying to find a laptop that can compete against the Pro or the Air and still haven't found it :(
Hold off buying a labtop and wait for the Microsoft Surface. That is my best advice to anyone looking to buy a labtop right now.
If you're going to recommend laptops, the least you can do is specify the CPU speed, RAM, hard disk space and screen size, as well as the GPU. I know I can look up the full specs, but I'm not going to do that just on a random article recommending what's "best".
Those minimum specs if present would motivate me to investigate further. As it stands, I really can't tell if I should bother researching any of these.
Without a doubt I'd go for the MacBook Pro. I'm saving up to buy one. At the rate I'm going I can have one in my hot little hands in about 13 months. :)
Which means you can have the same performance in 2 months but without an apple on it :|
Asus G series! sound like a good choice for me! :D
I'm about to buy a MacBook Pro and was hoping it might have been up there! I'm switching from pc to mac as my acer has started to switch off for no reason. Extra money but you're buying reliability
Recently I wanted to buy a MacBook pro, too. But I decide for a MacBook Air 13" (15" is to large for my use). The reasons were the better display resolution and in the Pro is only a normal HDD, in the Air (a smaller) SSD (in my case 128 GB is enough). The CPU and Graphics performance of the Air is for my use enough, but sometimes I have to wait a little longer 'cause of the Processor (I usually don't play any games).
I think the current MacBook Pro is compared to the Air for most people to expensive, because today an ULV i5 is for most users more than enough unless you want to edit videos or something else that need much performance.
I had thought about an air but the storage and optical drive were big factors. By the time I up-spec an Air it costs more than the pro and I have to cart about a separate cd drive. I would have loved the air though for its size and weight.
Now, which one of these laptops can be upgraded to 16gb of ram? If none of them can support it what laptop would you recommend for upgrade to 16gb of ram.
why would u even think of 16Gb ram?
To run Solidworks. Assemblies can get very large and the biggest recommendation I have gotten was to upgrade to at least 16gb ram
Asus can be upgraded with 16gb rams. I have this version too. I like it very much. It is a laptop for engineers! It has Geforce GTX 670 with 3gb ram! :) Its a pleasure to work with this.

Cuttack, May 14 :
Robin Uthappa struck a blistering 52-ball 80 to guide Kolkata Knight Riders to a six-wicket win over defending champions Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Barabati Stadium here Wednesday.
Uthappa's whirlwind knock saw Knight Riders chase down the target of 142 with eight balls to spare. Uthappa was also adjudged Man of the Match.
It was another comprehensive performance by the Knight Riders after their skipper Gautam Gambhir opted to field.
Knight Riders' spin duo Sunil Narine (1/18) and Shakib Al Hasan (1/21) were at their miserly best to restrict Mumbai Indians to 141 for five in 20 overs.
Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma top scored with 51 in 45 balls, hitting four fours and two sixes, while Ambati Rayudu made 33 off 27 balls with the help of three fours and a six.
Uthappa made the chase look easy as he single-handedly demolished the Mumbai Indians' bowling attack. He smashed nine fours and three sixes.
Gambhir and Manish Pandey made identical 14 while Yusuf Pathan remained unbeaten on 20.
Uthappa almost took the team home safely but fell in the 16th overs as Knight Riders were just 26 runs away from the win. He was castled by Lendl Simmons as he tried to make room to play it on the leg side, but his middle stump was uprooted.
Harbhajan Singh was the only bowler who got some respect as he picked up two for 22 from his four overs.

A few weeks back, CNN Belief Blog featured a post by a Christian, Brant Hansen, with Asperger's disorder that I had to read. First, the title referenced Star Trek: Mr. Spock goes to church. Secondly, the subtitle was "How one Christian copes with Asperger's syndrome," so my interest was further piqued with the intersection of psychology and faith. And the article exceeded my expectations.
This was a beautiful, honest exploration of one's very personal faith journey, struggles and all. While Hansen's emotional experiences in his faith were influenced by his diagnosis, he was not aware of the disorder until much later. And how much pain and judgment did he face because he didn't have the particular emotional reactions expected by our communities?
What I loved was that Hansen found he could have a strong faith outside of consistent transcendent emotional experiences. While many Christians won't have trouble accepting that because of the Asperger's label he has, I think there's something he can teach all of us: Stop making expectations of what other's faith journeys and experiences should be.
Life is complex. Emotions are incredibly complex. So are cognitions. Faith is infinitely complex, in my opinion. Put all of these together, and there are no formulas. Let's keep our eyes on the ultimate goals of faith. If we or our community is sincerely striving to follow Christ and be transformed by Him, then let's give latitude to the Holy Spirit to craft and shape our journey, even if it's quite different from the journey of anyone else we know...

Here's the audience last night during semi-finals.
So, we all know this is a European competition, right (that's aside from some Eurasian countries represented, of course)? No North Americans in the contest here, but that didn't stop the two resident Americans (production assistant Joan Lyman and yours truly) from acquiring an American flag and waving it proudly during the semi-finals last night. Everyone has a flag here, so we thought we should represent, yo. It's been reported for over a year that our own "USandA" will be taking up this breed of competition at home, but final plans have yet to be announced.
Here's production assistant Joan Lyman (aka, "The Other American") representing the home land.
Of course, our display of the stars and stripes did prompt a member of security to ask, "You know this is EUROvision, right?" Off to do some more international diplomacy...

LONDON — She can't hold her children. High-fiving her teammate is risky. But two-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings said she won't let pinkeye affect her performance in the London Games.
"It's super minor," she said Tuesday at a meet-and-greet with reporters arranged by the FIVB, the sport's international governing body. "It just looks worse than it is."
Walsh Jennings' left eye was red and watery as she squinted through it, dabbing it repeatedly with a tissue to wipe away the gunk and teardrops. Her husband, fellow beach volleyball pro Casey Jennings, has it much worse.
"It looks like his eyeballs got their butts kicked," she said.
But her two sons don't have it yet, and Walsh Jennings is trying to avoid contact with them as much as possible. (Sundance, 2, already has a cold but has avoided the eye infection so far.)
"It's not pretty, so we're trying to keep that away from him," she said. "I didn't even get to hold Sundance last night. I saw him in the stands, and he looked at me like he was so mad at me. So I need to love him out today, but I can't kiss him or it would infect him. I don't want to give him this."
Beach volleyball is a two-person sport, and most teammates hug or slap hands after every point like NBA players on the free throw line. Walsh Jennings and partner Misty May-Treanor discussed a change in the routine, but that lasted only a few points before they decided it was silly.
Instead, Walsh Jennings has skipped the traditional pre- and post-match handshakes with opponents, but not before explaining to them that she doesn't mean to be rude.
"That's a big deal here," she said. "I really respect these girls and my whole thing is to give high-fives. That's normal for me. I don't want them to think I'm big-leaguing them or being a jerk. I didn't want to infect them. I just didn't want to leave any room for error."
At a media event, she declined to shake hands with a reporter and instead offered an "air high-five."
Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor have opened the London Games with victories in their first two matches in pool play — a 16-game winning streak that stretches back to Athens. They are virtually assured of a spot in the knockout round regardless of what happens in Wednesday night's match against Austrian sisters Doris and Stefanie Schwaiger.
And opponents hoping for a sign of weakness should look elsewhere.
"I'm good," said Walsh Jennings said. "(The doctor) said 'You'd be in big trouble if you weren't as healthy as you are, because this could get really ugly really fast.'"
Walsh Jennings said she is taking antibiotics for the infection, but with an ever-growing list of banned substances she gets nervous every time she pops a pill.
"I'm doing everything I can do that's legal under drug-testing, which is scary," she said. "I've never taken anything, but if I can't see I'm in trouble."
The doctors have told her the infection should last about 2½ weeks, which means she'd have to deal with it through the Aug. 8 title. Told that the pictures wouldn't look so pretty, she said, "The gold medal makes everything look good."

Would you beleive that I had to battle my way out of the auto?
Last evening, I had this "once in a blue moon" experience of getting stuck to the side of a rick as I was leaving it. Passerbys, the rick driver and myself were stunned for a moment. When i tried to pry myself away, I literally could hear my hair snapping away. Ha....my hair was stuck to the velcro that holds up the side flaps in the auto.
Cause the rick is short, I couldn't even stand up to my full height of 5 feet 5 inches and plus my heels. I was half squatting (a disgraceful sight) in the middle of the road and trying to pry my hair away...but ended getting more of my hair stuck. In the end, lady luck in the form of a lady (!!!) pulled my hair away with such force that more of my hair was in her hands.
Apart from the dirt, stress, shampoo, conditioner and other reasons for hair fall... I have a new one to add to the list... AUTORICKSHAWS!!!

2012 Ford Explorer: I Do Like It
March 29, 2012
Our Explorer has taken its fair share of criticism since we acquired it back in September. But you know, I still like the thing. Maybe it's because, as a suburbia-living parent, the Explorer is pretty well suited to my lifestyle, and that greatly outweighs the negatives.
It's quiet on the freeway. It rides comfortably around town. The driver seat is comfortable. I like the storage well for holding grocery bags. If I want to haul more stuff, I can. It looks pretty cool in my driveway. I think the steering, which I find light but still direct, is well suited for urban duty. I like the cross-traffic alert safety feature. Oh, and fuel economy from the four-cylinder is pretty good as long as you don't boot the throttle all the time.
So, yeah, you know you're not in for 91-octane excitement with an Explorer. But I'm OK with that.

text: DigitalWSJ.com Gets New Digital CzarBy Amanda Ernst|December 16, 2009ShareBy Amanda Ernst|December 16, 2009ShareYesterday, we reported that Rebecca Blumenstein, the managing editor of WSJ.com, had been promoted to international editor of the paper. So, it follows that someone would have to be named to replace her.Last night, Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert Thomson sent a memo to staffers announcing the promotion of WSJ.com's deputy managing editor Kevin Delaney to the Web site's top spot.Delaney started his career at the Journal as an intern in college in 1992. He went on to work in the paper's Paris and San Francisco bureaus before joining the WSJ.com staff. He was named deputy managing editor of the site in July 2008.Thomson's full memo, after the jumpPreviously: WSJ.com Managing Editor Blumenstein Named Journal Deputy Editor From: Thomson, Robert Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 6:24 PM To: WSJ All News Staff Subject: Digital czarDear All,I'm delighted to announce that Kevin Delaney will take over as managing editor of The Wall Street Journal Online, succeeding Rebecca Blumenstein, who has been elevated to the dizzy heights of the troika.Kevin is deftly digital and been a knowing leader of the development of WSJ.com in recent years. He's been deputy managing editor at WSJ.com since July 2008, and played a critical role in commissioning content, crafting topics pages, and fashioning outside partnerships.

Prior to that, he covered technology and other topics in the Paris bureau, having begun his Journal career as a college intern in 1992.Kevin will report to Alan Murray and will benefit from the connection with his two predecessors, Rebecca and Almar Latour, who have moved to very senior posts in our far-flung empire, on which the digital sun never sets.Robert.

In 1783, Henry Cabell and Susannah Holmes found themselves in the fortress that was Norwich Castle. They had been imprisoned for stealing goods worth more than forty shillings, a crime that automatically drew sentence of death by hanging.
This story follows the two young country folk struggling to survive the perils and squalor of a Georgian prison where they fell in love.
Susannah and her baby were sent to the hulks for transportation on the First Fleet to Australia. Henry was desperate but powerless to join her. When the captain refused to take the baby as it had been born in prison and had no papers, John Simpson, the humane turnkey, stepped in and the couple were reunited on the journey to the New World.
Henry was the first convict in history to sue the authorities, run a mail service, own a ship, become the Colony's first Chief Constable and make a fortune from sealing and whaling.
Genre: Non-fiction, Australian, Biography, Historical

Rating: 3/5
This book, although based on fact, is written like a fictional account of the journey of Henry Kable and Susannah Holmes, from England to Australia on the First Fleet. Henry and Susannah are my great-great-I-don't-know-how-many-greats-grandparents. So this book was something I was excited to read.
I say this book was written like a fictional account because it is written like a story. Sure we have known facts and extracts from the journals of important people like Captain Arthur Phillip, but it is written as a narrative. I found this a little strange at first.... reading what Henry and Susannah where thinking, feeling and things they said, cause really, it's all speculation and guess work.
I also found it a little strange reading the sex scene. All I could think was "ooohhh great nanna!, naughty" LOL it's funny thinking of your ancestors as real, live people with hopes, dreams and desires. It was very different from reading old documents and historical accounts like I have trawled through in the past. It took some getting used to.
Hedges did a good job of bringing Norwich prison and the hulks of the ships to life. The conditions were terrible and honestly, I am surprised anyone survived that journey.
I was a little disappointed that this book only focused on their time in prison and their journey. I know that is an important past of their history, but I want to know more about what happened when they got to Australia.
As it states in the back-of-the-book-blurb, Henry was the first convict in history to sue the authorities, run a mail service, own a ship, become the Colony's first Chief Constable and make a fortune from sealing and whaling.
On top of that, when Henry and Susannah arrived in Australia, they were married in the first marriage ceremony to take place in the country, along with four other couples. They were the first wed out of the four, and the only couple from that ceremony to have children (eleven in all) and produce descendants. Some say that makes them the first family! They are often hailed as one of the founding families of the new colony.
During his lifetime Henry also owned a hotel called Ramping Horse, ran a brewery, owned a fair amount of property, and ran a retail store. Pretty good resume for a petty thief who was lucky to avoid the gallows!
It has also been said that when the First Fleet landed, Captain Arthur Phillip did not want to get his shoes wet, so a convict carried him to shore, ultimately being the first person to set foot in the new colony. Some say that person was Henry Kable. Although, the historical evidence on this seems a bit fuzzy.

Bed bugs have hit the Wall Street Journal's New York City headquarters – and the 1211 Avenue of the Americas building – once again, according to the Daily Intelligencer.
This past Friday, a bed bugs was sighted by an employee in the office's 6th floor video area, according to an employee memo published by Capital. Over the weekend, according to the same memo, there was an inspection and treatment occurred for bed bugs.
The employee memo posted on Capital notes:
The check, which included a sniffer dog, indicated the presence of bedbugs, or their possible presence, in part of the video area and in part of the main 6th floor conference room. The areas affected have been steam cleaned (this kills bedbugs) and chemically treated (this kills bedbug eggs).
I am not a pest management professional but my understanding is this description of the treatment isn't entirely accurate. Steam is a contact killer so you have to hit every bed bug to kill it. Used before a residual pesticide, the spray may get the bed bugs that survive the steam. But not necessarily.
Also, my understanding (and I hope an expert reader will correct me if I am wrong) is most pesticide sprays don't kill bed bug eggs, and those few which do must make direct contact with the eggs.
A hopeful outcome in lieu of the spray killing all the eggs is that bed bugs hatch from any viable eggs and cross a residual pesticide, which kills them. There's a certain amount of luck and skill involved in making that happen– it's certainly not a given that one treatment will do the job, even if done by a skilled team. Follow-up inspections are necessary and follow-up treatments may be needed also (usually done at approx. 10-14 days later).
Educating employees and building staff about what bed bugs look like would be a really good idea at this point.
This isn't the first time they've treated for bed bugs in this office or the building as a whole. Back in 2010, Wall Street Journal employees panicked when one staffer at Barron's said he had bed bugs in his apartment building.
The WSJ offices were searched with a canine scent detection dog that signaled, and while no visual signs were found (according to WSJ blog Metropolis and Gawker, both in 2010), the offices were treated anyway with what a staff memo at the time called "an abundance of caution."
If bed bugs were in the WSJ offices back in 2010, that wasn't the first time they were known to be in the building.
Earlier, in 2006, and then in 2007 and again in 2008, Fox News was said to have bed bugs in its studios at the same address.
Interestingly, in 2008, Jane Clark, a former Fox employee, tried to sue the building and management over bed bug bites she claimed to have sustained while working at Fox led to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Her case was thrown out of court in 2011 and I understand from the press that Clark planned to appeal.
This was well before Jerome Goddard and Richard de Shazo published their findings in the American Journal of Medicine in that "bed bug attacks cause moderate-to-severe psychological effects and PTSD in certain susceptible individuals." You can download a PDF here. But I digress.
Bed bugs have hit many fine news outlets in New York City, as well as other workplace settings.
You may also be interested in these Bedbugger stories about bed bugs in the workplace, or more stories about bed bugs referencing offices in the 1211 Avenue of the Americas building.
On another note, a belated Happy 2013! May we have many positive developments in the fight against bed bugs this year. Thanks, as always, for reading Bedbugger.com.

You cannot wait to cover the most essential activities around, and a quiet day exploring local neighbourhoods is a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

Located along the Main in Germany, Frankfurt is a bustling city that boasts a rich history, vibrant nightlife, and a medieval feeling people of all ages will enjoy. Because of the city's ideal location, Expedia recommends staying in downtown Frankfurt, if you plan on participating in Frankfurt excursions to cities in surrounding areas.
To get started on your historical journey through Frankfurt, begin by visiting one of the most popular places in the city, the Frankfurt Romans. Used as the city's main hub for official government business since 1405, the Frankfurt Romans offers a unique look at medieval architecture. The current building, like so many other historical sites in the city, has been beautifully preserved throughout the centuries.
One of the most popular Frankfurt tours among both tourists and local citizens alike is The Main tour. This tour takes you down the river past a number of must see gorgeous medieval castles, historical spots and beautiful scenic landmarks. A variety of companies offer both full day and half day river tours.
Among the many attractions in Frankfurt the whole family can enjoy, the Main Tower is a must visit. Being the tallest building in Frankfurt, the Main Tower offers a complete view of the entire city. Expedia recommends a visit to the tower after you've eaten dinner, as the best time to view the entire city is when the lights are on.
Continue your history tour with one of the top tourist spots in Germany, the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew. For over three hundred years, this well-preserved cathedral has been the focal point of many coronations for Roman Catholic emperors since it was built centuries ago.
Because there are so many things to do in Frankfurt, the Big Ebbel is a great focal point to start your day from. Be sure to have a map with you at all times as you will not want to miss all of the great Frankfurt activities and city tours available.

Since the series premiere, Dan and Jack Vasser's relationship has been rocky at the best of times. This was understandable considering that Dan was now married to Katie, Jack's ex-girlfriend who he obviously still cares for. "Keepers" delves farther back into Dan and Jack's troubled past and reveals two brothers who have been in constant turmoil ever since their father left. This is juxtaposed nicely with Dan's assignment this week that has him dealing with the turbulent relationship between two brothers that eventually leads to a bombing in the year 2000.
There have been concerns that the story of the week has dropped into a somewhat formulaic process, but "Keepers" does a few things differently this week. Previously, Dan had never met with any of his subjects in the present but with nowhere left to turn he decides to meet with Michael to gather information to stop Steve from bombing a building in the past. When Dan returns to the past to stop the bombing, Steve outright pegs him as a time traveler and Dan openly admits to being one. It's about time someone noticed Dan's lack of aging throughout the years but Steve says it's the shoes that gave him away.
It's also revealed that Steve had been doing some research into tachyons and aggressively trying to make contact with Elliot Langley around 2000. Unfortunately, when Dan changes the time line, Steve changes his life and decides that time travel is impossible. This is the first time that a change in the past has personally affected Dan's present as the story he is working on suddenly ceases to exist when he convinces Steve to turn himself in. This fresh new approach to the story of the week keeps things interesting and unexpected.
There is no question that Jack's aggressiveness concerning Dan and Katie's situation is more than a little overbearing. "Keepers" does a good job of putting everything into context, especially after witnessing a couple of moments from the past that show Jack looking out for his little brother. Including a scene that plays out between Jack and Katie were Jack convinces Katie to marry Dan. These moments do a lot to boost the integrity of Jack's motives and thankfully steers us away from the notion that Jack is out to break-up their relationship out of spite.
It will be interesting to see what plans the writers have for Katie if she does return to her job as a newscaster. As far as we can tell, Katie returning to the public spotlight shouldn't really have any affect on Dan's time traveling but she is still understandably concerned about her unusual situation.
Dan has reached a point now that he seems completely comfortable with suddenly being dropped into the past by an unknown force. There were no noticeable signs of headaches this week and when he walked into the past he did it with authority and with a clear understanding of what he was sent to do. Jack and Dan's relationship seems to be on smoother ground, Katie is more understanding than ever and Dan has discovered that time travel is a gateway to a wealth of stories for the paper. Undoubtedly, something will happen to shake things up but for now it's great to see all the aspects of Dan's life seemingly in sync.
One thing that we are concerned about is the complexity of the time travel story arc pertaining to Elliot Langley. We already know that he works for Livermore Labs and that he did work for NASA where he met Dan's father. This week we learn that he worked for yet another organization called Thurn-Tippett. While this story is still in its infancy, the last thing a show fighting for audience share needs is complexity. Unfortunately, that is pretty hard to avoid with a show about time travel.

Swansea City captain Ashley Williams was sparing in his praise of West Ham United striker Andy Carroll after Saturday's defeat.
He bullied Swansea into submission until his red card - even if Williams was hardly gushing in his praise of a forward who will go to the World Cup if he maintains this form and fitness.
"I don't think he's so much above everyone else," said the Wales defender. "I think he's as good as the best. Very good.
"But he's actually head and shoulders above everyone physically. Sometimes if the ball is high enough he's going to win it. There's not much you can do.
"I've never seen a player who can jump out of the sky. You stand next to him and he's that big.
"Is that enough to get you to a World Cup? I'm not sure it is."

text: Hey folks .... something just doesn't add up for me. That something is the sandbox and in particular as manifested by the infamous 'Google Slap'. In a world where xrumer cost is almost as cheap as the electricity coursing the server mains, why doesn't one simply Nuke one's opponents with a Million Links all going back to nasty porn etc? Would it work? I don't want to do it ... BUT if it doesn't work, then why not do it upon oneself? adding a swathe of goody links to your opponent too, leaving the 'fingerprints' of your opponent 'doing it to you', then maybe Google will ignore that too and count all the goody links instead of the baddy links which one would then also have uber boosted Has any actually documented evidence of anything other than a trip off the cliff for most contrived Website traffic after last February's panda? has anything fundamentally changed? If Article marketing is DEAD then why are we all still Nukin and AMR'n ??? Is it all just dick waving and deluding ourselves? Or are we really winning? I think what we need on the Forum is a sort of a 'SEO State Of The Union', our own little 'Congressional Inquiry' into what's REALLY going down in SEO/SMM etc. EVERY possible angle of input appreciated :ballchain

Corrigendum #2: Yod with Hiriq Normalization
In the production of the normalization tables for Unicode 3.0, the character U+FB1D HEBREW LETTER YOD WITH HIRIQ was mistakenly omitted from Composition Exclusions. During the public review period, this mistake was reported, but the report was misinterpreted and thus overlooked. This corrigendum corrects that omission.
Add the following entry to CompositionExclusions.txt in the Scripts Specifics section of that data file:
This corrigendum does affect backwards compatibility of normalization forms NFKC and NFC for strings containing this character. Text containing this character that is in normalization form NFKC or NFC as defined in Unicode 3.0 is no longer in that normalization form after the application of this corrigendum. It is recommended that all implementations of those normalization forms upgrade to the Unicode 3.1 data tables (or later), to ensure interoperability with later versions of the standard.
The reasons for issuing this corrigendum are enumerated below.
