One Chance A Glory: Which Team Will Shock the World this Year?November 24, 2009
The Colts had just lost 44-17 to the Jaguars and had possibly the worst rush defense performance in NFL history.
The Cardinals had just lost 47-7 against a New England team that didn't even have Tom Brady as the starting quarterback.
The Giants started the season 0-2 and lost to the Vikings 41-17 and were even considered to be having a rebuilding season.
All three teams went to the Super Bowl in their respective seasons—and two won.
In the 2009 season, many people will give you a prediction of a Super Bowl to be a game with the Colts or Patriots vs. the Vikings or Saints, and many will even put money on it.
But I'd like to offer a different perspective on the game. I know it's a bit early to be talking Super Bowl, but I'd like to offer the thought that many of the Super Bowl-winning teams are not who we expected them to be in Week 10.
In most cases it's the team that we least expect who carries the Lombardi trophy or at least reaches the game, not the more obvious of the predictables.
In most cases this team comes off a hot streak and continues to win, like the Cardinals of last year, or also in the Cardinals' case, a team who suddenly starts playing to a whole new level come playoff time, like the Giants in '07.
The team also has to be at least semi-decent and has to have a good number of players who, if they step up, could potentially be key in a turnaround of a team from good to very good.
They also have to have at least one area that they are dominant in, like the passing games of the Colts and Cardinals or the pass rush of the Giants.
They need a player who, in essence, elevates their games to perform at star-like status, like Edgerrin James of the Cardinals last year or Eli Manning of the Giants.
Here are some of the teams who could fit this description.
1. Jacksonville
The Jaguars almost fit this criteria perfectly. For one, they have the star player in Maurice Jones-Drew, and also have a player who is very off and on in quarterback David Garrard. If he plays very well, then the Jags offense will be hard to stop.
They also follow a similar pattern to the three teams listed at the beginning of the article; they've lost 41-0 to the Seahawks and have had some problems with their defense.
Yet the Jaguars are certainly in the hunt, as they have the top wild-card spot as of Week 11. Not only this, with games against Miami, Houston, Indy, and New England, the Jaguars could enter the playoffs on a hot streak and shock the world.
2. Tennessee
The Titans also fit this mold with a star in Chris Johnson and a developing player in Vince Young. They also have had their share of blowout losses, but with wins over Jacksonville and Houston have shown they have enormous potential.
However, the Titans will likely have to win out to reach the playoffs, and with games against Indy and San Diego, to name two, they will need a near-perfect performance to reach the playoffs. Then again, if they do...
3. Baltimore
The Ravens possess a team that are points away from being one of the top teams in the league with maybe even a unblemished record. The Ravens have a good number of defensive stars, and the quarterback, Joe Flacco, is developing very nicely.
Once again, the Ravens are in a very tight spot at 5-5 and once again will likely have to have a near-perfect performance to reach the playoffs. With two games against the Steelers, along with the Packers and Bears, and a knack for losing games at the last minute, the Ravens may be sitting at home without a ticket to the playoffs.
4. Houston
The Texans face a similar dilemma to the Ravens. The Texans offense is one of the best in the league, and their defense has been improving. If the Texans were to make the playoffs, they fit as an ideal candidate because if the defense was to turn it up another notch, the Texans would be one of the best teams in the league.
Yet once again, the Texans have a knack for losing games, and with games against Indy, Jacksonville, the Dolphins, and the Patriots, the margin for error is very small.
5. Bengals
Sure, they are a much more obvious choice, but no one seems to give the Bengals the respect they deserve. A much more safe bet to make the playoffs, the Bengals have a solid offense and defense, yet no one picks them to reach the Super Bowl. If this Bengals team gets hot, watch out, because they certainly have the talent and have already pulled off end-of-game wins.
1. Eagles
The Eagles also have the talent but have suffered some more embarrassing losses as of late. We know that they have the experience of reaching deep into the playoffs, and with the maturation of young wide receivers and the returned health of Brian Westbrook, this Eagles team could soar into a playoff run.
Let's also not forget that the defense, which has not been the typical Eagles defense, could potentially soar out of their mediocrity and become great with the growth of their new defensive coordinator. If all the pieces come together, the Eagles could finally win one for Andy Reid.
2. Green Bay
The Packers have the tradition, and they have a gunslinging offense directed by a quarterback not named Brett Favre. Considering that the Packers offense tore up a pretty solid 49ers defense, the Packers offense, when hot, is one to be reckoned with.
Now, if they go on a hot streak as a team, maybe they can have Favre have one of his playoff blowups against them this time and strut into the Super Bowl singing, "Take that, Favre."
3. Panthers
This is a bit of a long shot, especially with the Panthers' record at 4-6, but the Panthers also share the talent and experience that could possibly lead to a Super Bowl appearance. If Jake Delhomme plays like a good Jake Delhomme, along with the defense stepping up, the Panthers could go on a bit of a run to end out the season.
More importantly, if the Panthers were to reach the playoffs, they'd be the hottest team in football, probably winning at least five of their last six.
4. Giants
The emergence of targets for Eli Manning has to be a good sign for the Giants. Even after dropping four straight they still sit on the cusp of playoff contention. The Giants have the veteran leadership, the defense, and the talent to make a run at the Super Bowl. You never know—maybe they'll upset another undefeated team along the way...
5. Cardinals
The Cardinals, in the worst division in football (rivaled only by the AFC West), are almost a sure shot to reach the playoffs barring a disaster or a 49ers reemergence. They have a great veteran quarterback in Kurt Warner and two amazing wide receivers in Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald, not to mention a resurgent defense and a developing Beanie Wells. Watch out for a Cardinals repeat...
There are plenty of teams that could easily go win the Super Bowl, and that's what makes the NFL special. In a sense, the playoffs are like a whole new season, and in most cases, it's the Cinderella who walks away happy.

Sound off on the important issues at
In 1784, the first Russian colony in Alaska was established on Kodiak Island.
In 1870, the first lease of the Pribilof Islands was signed by the Alaska Commercial Company and the U.S. Treasury Department.
In 1879, Alaska's first Presbyterian church was dedicated at Wrangell.
In 1908, the first automobile in Fairbanks, a Pope-Toledo, arrived for David Laite.
In 1959, Anchorage police were asked to be on the lookout for an escaped goose with an unfriendly disposition.
In the nation
In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr went on trial before a federal court in Richmond, Va., for treason. (He was acquitted less than a month later.)
In 1923, Calvin Coolidge was sworn in as the 30th president of the United States, following the death of Warren G. Harding.
In 1936, the U.S. State Department urged Americans in Spain to leave because of that country's civil war.
In 1943, Gen. George S. Patton slapped a private at an army hospital in Sicily, accusing him of cowardice. (Patton was later ordered by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to apologize for this and a second similar episode.)

Heating – System Pressurisation - Page 1 2 3 4
Methods of Pressurisation
Pressurisation by Expansion
This, at the simplest domestic level, involves little more than the addition of an unvented expansion vessel to a heating system which is then charged with water and sealed.
The function of the vessel is to take up the increased volume of water as it is heated and by so doing, apply additional pressure.
In practice vessels are used which incorporate a flexible rubber diaphragm which separates the water on one side from a factory applied charge of nitrogen on the other.
The size of the vessel is a function of the initial and final pressures and the water capacity of the system.
Application of a Simple Expansion Vessel
In addition to the vessel, other fittings necessary are a safety valve fitted to the boiler, a fill/non-return valve which will accept a temporary hose connection from a water supply and an automatic air release valve, possibly associated with a centrifugal air separator.
For larger systems operating at low temperature, the principles of operation remain the same.
The expansion vessel will increase in size and may even be duplicated.
A small filling unit is usually provided for 'topping up' purposes, consisting of a cistern with a ball valve for water supply and an electrically driven pump as shown below.
A low pressure switch is fitted to or near the boiler to control the operation of the pump.
This ensures that a minimum water pressure exists and a parallel high pressure switch may be incorporated to stop firing of the boiler in the event of over pressure, at a level below safety valve operation.
The various components of a system of this type may be built up into a complete packaged unit.
Pressurisation by Pump
For medium temperature hot water systems, operating at temperatures up to about 110oC and at pressures of about 4 bar (400 kPa), an alternative approach to pressurisation has led to the introduction of pressurising with a pump as shown below.
This system relies on pressure-pump operation in conjunction with a spill valve and a cistern fitted at low level to take up the water of expansion.
Some units of this type are factory assembled and are provided with duplicate pumps and controls.
When starting a system from cold, the spill valve allows water of expansion to escape into the cistern once a pre-set pressure is reached.
While the system remains at the design working temperature, and constant pressure, the spill valve remains closed and the pump is idle.
When the system temperature and pressure fall as a result of decreasing demand or boiler cycling, the pump will start and the pre-set pressure will be restored.
Since the rate of fall in pressure may vary considerably, the pump does not run continuously on demand but is arranged to cycle 'on/off' by means of timed interruption of the electrical supply.
This gives the equivalent of variable pump output.
A back up spill valve may also be incorporated into the system in case the primary spill valve fails to function.
It is advisable to fit a water meter to the cold water supply to the spill tank to determine if leaks in the system have occurred.
The function of the buffer vessel is to reduce surging of water from the pumps into the heating system and to minimise hot water from the heating system entering the expansion vessel and spill tank.
Pressurisation by Gas
This was, in chronological sequence, probably the first independent method of pressurisation to be introduced.
It was conceived as a result of the difficulties experienced in using steam to pressurise for high temperature hot water systems.
A pressure cylinder is connected to the heating system usually in the main return near the boiler where the water is coolest.
This cylinder is filled partly by water and partly by air or an inert gas (such as nitrogen).
The initial supply of gas is from a small air compressor or gas bottle.
An initial pressure can therefore be applied to the system at a pressure level well above the boiling point of the water content.
The water of expansion is discharged from the system by a spill valve to a cistern which is open to atmosphere and, as the system cools and contracts, a pressure pump draws water from the spill cistern and returns it to the system, as shown below.
The pressure controller regulates the admission of water from the pump or its expulsion through the spill valve.
The use of an inert gas, such as nitrogen, for the cushion, instead of air, offers the advantage that it is less soluble in water.
The more sophisticated units very lightly pressurise the spill cistern also with nitrogen.
In most units two pumps are used to run in parallel meeting unusual demands and the water of expansion passes through a heat exchanger to lower the temperature and, if possible, prevent flash.

The USA Today was apparently duped into thinking that this iPad steering wheel mount was the real thing, and even went so far as to write an article about it in their automotive section. The funniest thing, aside from the absurdity of the contraption itself, is how short the "closed course" the driver is supposedly on is.
Jalopink writes:
Ignoring the ridiculous premise of the device, there are a few hints this advice is a fake. First, the "buy" page says the company is sold out. Second, the "patent" for the technology links to a patent for duct tape.
The biggest clue? This product endorsement:
… the iPad Steering Wheel Mount is the "must-have" iPad accessory for anyone who spends significant time behind the wheel of an automobile. — Stanley Milgram
For those who aren't aware, Stanley Milgram is famous for the Milgram Expirment wherein test subjects were forced to shock others in order to determine if people will follow authority even if they think someone is doing something wrong. Milgram died in 1984.

A new report claims that softphone acquisition is likely to rise sharply over the next six years, with a global market expected to be worth $217.2 million by 2017; the equivalent of 2.9 million unit sales.
Softphones permit the transmission and reception of voice calls via a desktop computer or laptop, without the need for any conventional telephony hardware. They are already used fairly extensively in many call centres.
According to the report by research organisation Global Industry Analysts (GIA), the demand for softphones is likely to increase among the wider business community for two main reasons.
Firstly, softphones can help companies save on the costs of phone handsets.
Secondly, the increased prevalence of business VoIP (voice over internet protocol), and the rise in the use of internet protocol (IP) telephony, are both likely to encourage a closer working relationship between the phone and the computer. This is because IP telephony and business VoIP both use the internet rather than conventional telephone lines for voice calls and other telephony transmissions.
That IP telephony and business VoIP are both likely to grow is a fact generally agreed on by most industry observers, mainly due to: easier management of business phone systems connections; the ability to use the same extension regardless of geographical location; and decreased call costs.
Even though business VoIP handsets are an option, the GIA report predicts that business VoIP is still generally likely to encourage the use of softphones.
Even for those businesses unlikely to be able to afford to change their existing business phone systems, it is believed that IP telephony and business VoIP will still become a widespread feature, owing to the relatively inexpensive option of adapting conventional phone lines via session initiation protocol (SIP) trunking connections; or by subscribing to the services of a host business VoIP provider or VoIP reseller.

Early Origins of the Lellint family
Lancashire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D. There are actually two parishes in Lancashire bearing the name Layland or Leyland. "The Lancashire Leyland was Leylaund, Leylond, Leyland, Laylond, Lelarid in the 13th century." [3]CITATION[CLOSE]

Lellint Spelling Variations
hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Lellint has been spelled many different ways, including Leyland, Leland, Lelland, Leeland, Lealand and others.

Migration of the Lellint family to the New World and Oceana
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Lellints to arrive in North America: Christopher Leland, who settled in Barbados with his servants in 1680; John Leyland, who arrived in Virginia in 1698; Adam Leland, who settled in Boston in 1715.

Too Many CommercialsSeptember 3, 2008
Do you remember the 2007 Pepsi 400 at Daytona?
What's the first thing that stands out? The margin of victory of .005 seconds? Jamie McMurray snapping a 166-race winless streak?
Or maybe it was the fact that there were barely any commercials.
TNT debuted it's "Wide-Open Coverage" that night giving viewers 22 percent more racing action instead of commercials. The ground-breaking coverage featured no national commercial breaks and had limited commercials for local advertising.
Now the question is: Why can't that be every week?
With commercial breaks seeming more frequent than ever, why can't TV networks work a deal with seemingly endless amounts of sponsors to keep commercial breaks to a minimum and keep the rating up?
If lack of sponsorship for such an idea is unavailable, adopt an idea from the Indy Racing League and run a side-by-side in which commercials and the race are shown simultaneously.
This surely would increase ratings and allow sponsors of the event to get the word out of their product.
NASCAR fans on the whole understand that without commercials, they would be paying for it, but to say that fans can't have a free, uninterrupted race when there are legitimate ideas out there doesn't seem right to me.

FAIRBANKS - When Chelsie Venechuk took a break from her job in Nikolai, her co-workers gave her an assignment for her stint in Fairbanks.
"People out there told me I couldn't come back if I didn't know how to butcher a moose," she said.
Venechuk and seven other moose-cutting rookies recently donned butcher's aprons and learned the basics of how to cut a moose and prepare it for a storage in a freezer during a class sponsored by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
Participants paid $50 for the day-long class taught at the Fairbanks Food Bank by Charlie Rex, a former City Council member who's butchered meat for a living before.
The session started with a lecture about field dressing a moose and preparing it for storage. But by early afternoon, most of the students had bloody hands and aprons and were busy cutting meat with little supervision from Rex.
Once all the meat was cut and a large portion of it was put through a grinder, the participants arranged themselves in an assembly line to wrap all the meat and make it freezer-safe.
While Venechuk said the class didn't leave her completely confident that she could butcher a moose on her own, it did provide with her with several tricks that will come in handy should she ever encounter the task again.
She said the most important lesson of the class was learning to identify the various muscle groups.
During his instruction, Rex said meat-cutting techniques depends a lot on individual taste. As he cut a large hunk of meat from a front shoulder, he said he prefers to leave the muscle intact and make it into a roast.
"I don't steak anything out of the shoulder," he said. "A lot of customers might come in and want to steak it. That's fine, but they're going to be chewing on it for about a week."
Rex also recommended butchers not get greedy by trying to save as much meat as possible when cutting off fat and hair that's still on the meat. He demonstrated by cutting large pieces of usable meat surrounding the unattractive discolored portions.
"Throw the baby out with the bath water," he said.
At the end of the cutting session, participants had several tubs of meat cut into square stew chunks as well as ground meat and chunks of roast. The bones and scraps were donated to a local dog musher.

Thanks for the guide. I went with replacing gnome-screensaver rather than working around its limitations, since I'm used to xscreensaver-demo and don't care about screen locking. But I have run into a problem... Totem(-xine) doesn't disable xscreensaver when watching movies fullscreen. It did disable gnome-screensaver properly, and I recall it disabling xscreensaver in Breezy.
I haven't been able to find anything in Totem's help or man pages relating to the screensaver.
The obvious way to get it working is just to use the gnome-screensaver/xscreensaver-demo combo, but I thought I'd ask first if anyone knows how to get Totem to disable xscreensaver.
and I'm wondering why i can't, "apt-get xscreensaver"?
Are ya switching repo's? One's for Breezy?
I'll check them again, I notice you say this is for Dapper, but I get::23meg ;; Thanks for the edit; to remind again, I recommend that everyone check out both guides and decide which one to use for themselves.
Ya mentioned getting 'data' also, but idonno...Package xscreensaver is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
E: Package xscreensaver has no installation candidate
So, different source...or, well- I'll check what I got to be sure.
Thanks All...!!
guide worked perfectly. I have a dell inspiron 9300 and was searching for a way to turn off the LCD. Thanks!
here. After you install it you should lock the version in Synaptic so it doesn't just get updated again.
Thank you for the little guide. I've found these pros for xsceensaver
1) GL screensaver work smother
2) Xscreensaver has the preview bottom
3) Configuration possibilities
4) Fade in/out option
But I have also one problem: some of the screensavers present in /usr/lib/xscreensaver (that have a correpondent xml config file in /usr/share/xscreensaver) aren't showed in the xscreensaver-demo list.
Why? Have you had this problem as well? Is there a work-around?
Thank you in advance!!
Found (the) solution: unfortunately I had to manually add a line for each screensaver in ~/.xscreensaver

It depends which gen iMac it is. If its one of the newer ones its a bit of a pain in the tits, especially to get the screen completely clean before you put the glass on and you will need a torq 5 (ottomh) driver to get the screws out.
If its just over a year old, youre fucked and prepare to take it right up the arse from apple, as its a bespoke drive that only they supply.
WRT a backup, get a 2tb drive rather than a 1tb. If the drive is really full time machine gets a bit funny about backing up to the same size drive as the original.

But seriously...
@Carlo you could do it yourself if you have the right tools (assuming you have no Applecare/warranty remaining), iFixit have everything you need.
Alternatively I did see mention of an Apple store quoting �200 for a HDD replacement, which I assume includes a drive of equal or greater capacity, on the Apple Support communities site (posted 2011 so should be cheaper now).
@MMMarmite If it was my iMac It'd aldeady be open (I saw the ifixit too) and while it looks stupidly complicated for a 3 minute job on a normal PC she just wants them to do it.
Thinking about it, it might be the disk controller not the HDD.
�200 is way over the top... Like most think in the Apple store... But it is what it is I guess!
Might be able to get it replaced for less at an AASP rather than Apple direct, should only be an hours labour + HDD cost. There's a service centre locator on the Apple site.
Edited by MMMarmite at 22:21:02 19-10-2012
�120 + VAT fitted. Includes service health check etc.
She wasn't exactly pleased but is satisfied paying that to get her mac back.

Just had this email from Apple.
Dear iMac owner,BOOOO!! Faff incoming (and also I need to get my arse in gear and order some back up solutions). Sigh.
Apple has determined that certain 1TB Seagate hard drives used in 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMac systems may fail. These systems were sold between October 2009 and July 2011.
Our records show that you have an iMac with an affected 1TB Seagate hard drive. Apple will replace your hard drive with a new one, free of charge, under the iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program.
Please choose one of the following options to get a replacement hard drive.
�Apple Retail Store - set up an appointment with a Genius.
�Apple Authorised Service Provider - find one here.
�Apple Technical Support - contact us for local service options.
Apple recommends replacing your affected hard drive as soon as possible. Before you go in for service, please back up your data. Learn more about backup options.
Additional Information
You will need to have the original Mac OS installation discs that were supplied with your iMac in order to reinstall your operating system, other applications and any backed up data after your hard drive is replaced.
This worldwide Apple programme does not extend the standard warranty coverage of the iMac.
Apple will replace affected 1TB Seagate hard drives, free of charge, for three years from your iMac's original date of purchase or until 12 April 2013, whichever provides longer coverage for you. Apple will continue to evaluate service data and provide extensions to this programme as needed.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
Apple Inc.
You don't have an external drive with Time Machine backups? You really should.
Yeah. I should. I just... you know... haven't got round to it.
Still, a tad annoying having to lug a 27inch iMac back to the store sans box!
...which leads to my next question:

@delbert Good price too!
A few months ago I posted that there was a grid pattern on our new macbook's screen. Turns out its to do with how its made and we could wipe it off with an alcoholic screen wipe.
Just cleaned the screen and the grid is back again.
Is that something todo with the screen touching the keyboard when it's closed?
No, the squares are only about 1/2cm wide. It looks like a checquered tea-towl has been put on there.
My keyboard, or rather the grease off my fingers, imprints very clearly on my mbp's screen. I got a very thin mousepad, which doubles as a screen wipe, which I put on the keyboard before closing the lid and it's solved this particular problem.
Seems very akin to the issue with the 3ds where the edges of the lower screen touch and soil the upper one when the console is closed.
My Mac at home has started exhibiting a strange behaviour -- the volume is randomly turning itself up, down, and muting itself.
I've turned bluetooth off (to eliminate rouge remote interference) and have given all the ports a dust, but it's still happening. I'm thinking that the keyboard might be on its way out.
Anyone had a similar thing happen to them?

Those rouge remotes can be very annoying...
...but a nice colour!
Old batteries in your keyboard? Seems unlikely but I've seen similar behaviour with our PC keyboards and mice. Never had it with my Mac, though, so clutching at straws.
Keys sticky? Have you been drinking red wine at the keyboard again Craigy?

Grace returned to the Top 20 in 2015 after three years hovering just below. Who would have thought such a simple and pure virtue name as Grace, which originally referred to divine grace, could ever become trendy? Because that's what Grace is, chosen by celebrities such as Mark Wahlberg, Ed Burns, and Christy Turlington, and given to over 7,500 girls in 2016.
Grace is one of the most luminous of names, recalling the cool elegance of Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco. It existed as Gracia in the Middle Ages, but was not in common use until the Puritans adopted it along with other Christian attribute names in the sixteenth century. Embraced by Americans of the Victorian era, it was the eleventh most popular name in this country in 1875.
Grace is currently even more popular in other countries than it is here—Number 2 in Northern Ireland, 4 in Ireland, 11 in England and Wales, 11 in Australia, 13 in Scotland, and 23 in Canada.
If Grace is too overused for you, consider an exotic variation like Engracia or Graziella. Some parents have even migrated into the boys' camp in search of Grace equivalents such as Gray or Grayson. Choosing nickname Gracie for the birth certificate is an increasingly popular option—she now ranks at Number 181.

Fashion party clothing wear casual: What to wear for casual cocktails
The holidays are here, and the winter party season is in full swing. And every winter, the question is "What to wear?" This is especially true when the invitation says, "Come for casual cocktails."
Whether you want to buy a new outfit or wear one of the classic pieces already in your closet, here are a handful of fashion-forward tips to guide your get-up.
Today's top party styles
"When the invitation says 'casual,' interpretations differ," says Leah Feldon, a Nashville and New York-based fashion expert (leahfeldon.com) and author of Does This Make Me Look Fat?
"Some people will always dress up, while others won't," she says. "Some will read 'casual' and others, 'cocktail.' If you do your basic black with fun accessories, you'll be exactly perfect, either way."
"The one thing you're always safe wearing is basic black. Then jazz it up with accessories. You just can't go wrong with that," she assures.
"Black is essential," agrees Jenny Le of Opening Ceremony, which has stores in New York and just recently Los Angeles (openingceremony.us). Try this versatile Karen Kane Boyfriend Jacket .
Le recommends a few hot items to pick up this winter to turn heads anywhere you go.
"Velvet dresses, high waisted skirts, severe pencil skirts, cashmere cardigans, waistcoats, trenches and Victorian granny high heel boots," Le lists.
Another hot look, she says, is slim tuxedo pants and a chiffon bow blouse, or full trousers or high waisted pants."

Whether you know it or not, you need to hire workers that will pay their own salaries if your business is to move forward and become a mature company. You may not know it yourself, but you contribute one way or the other to paying yourself when you work as an employee with another employer – everything you do in your office or workplace contributes to company-generated revenue which is used to pay you. Salaried workers tend to be lazy because they are only interested in their end-of-the-month pay-cheques, and they contribute little to what they earn because they are aware the management cannot readily measure their inputs. But this must change with you –
- Pay commissions instead of salaries: Place your workers on commissions or a earn-as-you-work payment and you'd see them sit up. Workers become lazy when they are placed on salaries, but dare to place them on commissions then you see them working hard to earn their own keep. They invariably get to pay themselves because they are paid according to the amount of target they achieve or the amount of revenue they bring into the business.
- Set targets to be achieved by teams: Set realistic targets for your workers and set up teams to attain these targets within record time. Teams tend to achieve more than individuals and their jobs get measured or monitored easily than that of individuals. Setting milestones for teams is the best way to go and you'd see them striving to achieve or beat the goal with a view to earning more or meeting company needs.
- Measure and monitor individual tasks: Develop a way to monitor what your workers are doing on daily basis and what they have achieved on any particular day. Ensure they do not just idle away at their work-desks or just play computer games while pretending to work. There must be a job monitoring system to measure and determine what individual workers have done for any particular day, week, or month and see how these have contributed to company revenues.
- Hire freelancers instead of fulltime workers: Have you ever thought about hiring freelancers instead of fulltime staff? Dobrze, it makes a lot of sense to hire freelancers instead of fulltime staff where the needed job can be done remotely or by telecommuting from anywhere. You can also outsource to other professionals as the need may arise and you see these working for their own pay. Hiring freelancers or outsourcing jobs has two main benefits: it saves costs and overheads; the job is measurable and monitor-able; you can accept or reject the job output based on quality merits; workers earn their own pay or rather work to pay themselves.
- Investments from workers: Have you ever thought of the possibility of asking your workers to invest into the business and then earn some rewards? Do you know it is possible to even raise more business capital from your employees if they forgo to get paid for a month or two as an investment into the business? The returns on their investments and share-capital can pay many of them for years to come without any difficulties if well managed.

ANCHORAGE - Alleged workplace discrimination by the former executive director of the Alaska teachers' union, Tom Harvey, has drawn a lawsuit from the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Sound off on the important issues at
It's the second such lawsuit involving Harvey since 2001 and alleges that he intimidated and harassed former National Education Association-Alaska employee Denise Poole in 2005.
The suit seeks money, training on anti-discrimination laws, and posting of notices in the workplace. The suit claims that Harvey harassed Poole in retaliation after the complaint was filed and that he may have targeted other female employees with intimidation because they were women.
Last year NEA-Alaska paid $750,000 to settle an earlier suit, filed in 2001 against the organization over similar behavior by Harvey.
"What's disturbing is we believe he was engaging in this behavior while we were litigating the first (case)," said Carmen Flores, senior trial attorney with the EEOC in Seattle.
After the first suit, Harvey was promoted from assistant executive director to executive director of the union.
NEA-Alaska president Bill Bjork said in a statement that an investigation by the union found that the harassment claims were unmerited.
"We hired an impartial, outside investigator, who conducted extensive interviews and other investigations," he said. "We are disappointed that the EEOC ignored this investigation and chose to move forward with a lawsuit."
In the 2001 suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Alaska, NEA-Alaska paid the $750,000 to settle with a receptionist, a secretary and an assistant union organizer.
The three women said Harvey bullied, yelled at them and spoke to them in a profane manner, but treated male employees much better. They also said they felt physically threatened by him.
The union said it paid the settlement to spare further legal costs and did not admit wrongdoing.
Harvey could not be reached for comment. He retired last year and was replaced by Lydia Garcia.
NEA-Alaska is a statewide organization representing 13,000 teachers and education support professionals, most of whom are female.
Federal law prohibits discrimination in the workplace on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

From the GEN News Summit's stunning venue at Hôtel De Ville in Paris, the Summit host Matt Kelly details the conference's highlights and the value GEN brings to your newsroom.
These behind the scenes photos show the making of this film.
The day began with an early morning flight from Berlin to Paris and a return flight at 9 p.m.
In the hours between, the amazing Julia Hewkin and I organized the video lights, Colm Curneen refined the scripts and we joined Antoine Laurent and summit host, Matt Kelly at the Hôtel De Ville.
I used the great Telepromt+ iPad app to help Matt read his lines.
GEN staffers Colm Curnney and Antoine Laurent took turns in roles of Best Boy, grip, stand-in, lighting model, script doctor and simulated audience while we filmed at various locations.
We had very little time on set to make these moments and many thanks to the Hôtel De Ville staff for granting us privileged access to film.
|Colm Curneen stands in while I set the lights and framing.

First we had the Kitteh Slide treadmill…
NOW, it's the HAMSTER IN A WOK!
IT NEVER ENDS! Literally!

Sthuper Sthender-Inner Josh N., you are a FOUNTAIN of well, unrelentingness
it's like they greased the wok! poor hammie~
it's like they greased the wok! poor hammie~
actually, now i'm kinda hungry….for tofu, not hammie!
actually, now i'm kinda hungry….for tofu, not hammie!
LOL!!! Hamster can't wok in the wok ^^
Would he taste better Mandarin style or Szechwan style? 😉
Hammie says…First the wheel, now this! I'll never get anywhere!
Soooo slippy, but at least it's good exercise. I love how when he stops to rest he falls over and just starts up again.
Has anyone seen the new car commercial with the Hammies in the wheels on the road and then the new red car pulls up with Hammies driving and acting all cool inside? I can't remember what car it's for (not very effective advertising huh?) but I saw it last night nad the Hammies were cool and I immediately thought of CO.
The secret to great stir-fry is to keep everything moving in the wok. I usually use a chopstick or a wooden spatula, but from this video, I can see the advantages of self-stirring ingredients.
Awww! A little stir-fried ham with "jelly" bean! 😀
I like to play them both at the same time.
Best use of teflon ever!
LOL! Go hammie, go!
Noelle-that's an ad for the Khia Soul. We saw it at the movies and I thought it was ADORABLE!!!
We need to see a commercial with the guy that hawks "Sham Wow" to sell the "Hamster Wok".
Why walk you hamster when you can wok him? No more cleaning messy plastic balls or wire wheels! Best of all, it's teflon coated for easy cleaning!
But wait! There's more! Hold onto your seats! If you take advantage of this incredible offer within the next 30 minutes, we'll throw in an extra Hammy Wok for free! Just pay separate shipping and handling…
Yakkety-sax music improves any video. This is just fantastic.
NTMTOM and Shazza…That's the one! I just about died when I saw it last night and the first thing I thought was that this has to show up on CO at some point. I love the hammies jamming to the music in the car. And the reaction from the first hammie when the car pulls up is priceless!
This is a schweeeeeeet new layout. I love it!!! ❤
Yummy… Hamster Teriyaki!
Wha' hoppen!? I was just here a bit ago and now I look again (boring day at work) and it's all .. changed?!?
Whoa, new site!?
Lookin pretty slick, Meg! Not sure how I feel about the big links across the top just cause it pushes the content down.
aww he's so small & cute! He's little kicking feet are so adorable. I hope he'll be able to go out whenever he likes to…. No i'm not nit picking, and going to go off into animal abuse, just hope he is having fun and not struggling to get out!
anyway this new cuteoverload layout, is going to need to some time adjusting to for me….
Oh, please tell me they never used that wok again…hammie left a little something in it…
We used to put our gerbils and hamsters in the bathtub (yes empty!) when we cleaned the cages. They did the same thing trying to scramble up the side. It was so cute. (Said gerbils and hamsters were from different generations and therefore not in said tub together.)
holy new layout, batman!
Oh my, the site is different! I like it, though. …I think
Well, come on…Noelle, NTMTOM, & Shazza… let's git that commercial up on this website so we can ALL see it. K?
This new format… it needs a little de-bugging. Litterally.
doooodzzzz, were m i? o well, change…
I bet the hammi prefers the veg only folks.
well this was adorable… until he pooed in the wok
Dont like it, the little guy looks like he's not having any fun. Seems rather mean to me.
Oh yes, i forgot the poo – thats probably a sign of fear. Like i said – mean. Keep in mind this is an animal, he doesnt have the intellect to figure out that there's nothing actually wrong, that it's just a joke. Mean.
I am sorry, I don't like the new format. Everything is so big. Endless scrolling.
Actually as a former high school reading teacher the thing that bothers me the most is the difficulty I am having with tracking the larger font across the page.
I'm so disoriented now…Wha hoppen to the site, dudes? Anyway, I felt kinda sorry for the little ham, but at about 50 when he almost tips over backwards, sorta cute.
We have icons next to our names now?
The little ham could have just stopped running…no need for the huffing and the puffing! And I did catch his little "oops" in the middle, but only after someone else pointed it out…poor ham. I don't think he's afraid. He's an animal. When you need to go, you need to go.
You know, I like the font. I was really tired of squinting because it was just much, much too small. You can adjust the font to be smaller, but I found it extremely difficult to adjust it to be larger under the old format.
Why does the site automatically save my info? Is there any way to turn this off?
No more images in the RSS feed? I'm outta here.
(PS @CoffeeCup: Just delete your cookies, this will clean your data)
I LOVE the new site! Looks so clean! Great job! =)
I love the new layout! Very clean!
I often incur wrath by posting negative comments about things everyone else finds cute. But in this case there's already a negative position staked out, so I want to support it. The cats on the slide had no NEED to get to the top. They could stop any time they wanted. That's cute. A hamster on a wheel, running voluntarily, so fast that he throws himself off, but then he gets right back on, is cute. But this little critter shows every sign of NOT being able to get out of the wok, and of being in a panic to do so, feeling trapped and helpless. That's not cute.
Halp! I are lost! *feels like wok-walking hammiepants*
These side images frighten meh.
Okay, my angry lobster-ish icony mabob is kinda funny…
that is so cute! good exercise for hammie! new layout (y)
Ok, this will take some getting used to. Why can't I comment on the foxy post? I don't see where to click to post…anyone?
DejaMew — looks like that's just a straight-up announcement, so, not a commentable post. No worries, this is pretty new to everybody. 😉
Holy crap, EMBEDDED SMILEYS!! 😯
Thx, Theo..i was wondering. The new site layout looks good. Guess we'll see how well it works for the peeps.
Does Meg have control over time/space? Here in Texas it's 11:42 pm on April 2, but there seems to be a time differential happening here.
testing date/time stamp… ping
…OK, "local time" on Cute Overload is back to Pacific Time. Looks like comments already posted won't be retroactively changed, but what the hey. 😉
(so it looks like Meg doesn't have COMPLETE control over time and space, at least for the moment)
Wait, you mean it's NOT nine in the morning? But I was about to have breakfast!
Theo, you are so cool!
[Woohoo, I can EDIT again! I'm so jazzed I could almost BLEEN!! – Ed.]
I'm probably just being stupid, but…I can't see how to add a comment now unless there are already some here. Under the new hammies-in-the-kia post there is no 'comment' button!?!
[Actually that post shouldn't be showing up at all, yet; it's still in progress. We're still getting the hang of the new control panels here… – Ed.]
NTMTOM, hope you have a warming oven. If not, just use the mikey-wave.
btw, Mike, breakfast is a state of mind. Go have a spinach croissant & some fresh-squeezed OJ. (I wouldn't mind one myself, if you've got extra)
Ham's little back legs are a blur! He is scrambling to get out of that wok. Poor little guy. 😦
Theo, did you just… did you just BLEEN???
Is nothing sacred?
(Actually, I'm just posting 'cuz I'm filled with 'satiable curtiosity about what strange icon is going to accompany this post. I hope it's a bug.)
Jeepers, what is that? It looks like a saber-toothed toaster!!
What's the dealio with this potato-ish icon?! I am personally way cuter than this wacky spud.
I was the FIRST BLEEN, Bug Man. You gotta undastan'.
Theo, is bleening a bad thing or a good thing?
Nik — start here. Then, once you've skimmed that, head over here.
Wok bopaloopa a wok bam boom.
I like the new layout, do I get to keep my crabby Christmas tree. Who is the designer.
Woa, that is Awesome!
I wonder how the sender-inners capture those clips?
It never ends.
Awwww. He's gotta be tie tie!
Love the new look. Think Hammie is cute. And want to see my bug!
Whoa!!! it is like a whole new world here…. Hai everybody. I love little mr hammerpants skittle bottom.
::Holds up Hand:: I just saw the new Kia Hamster commercial and I was about to look on line to see if it is there yet to of course submit to CO.
; )
awwww, it's CUTE!
Hey Teho when ever you are back on in the morning can we put up our own avitars????
HEheh Reality casual Friday came early!
Annie — this is now WordPress. If you have a WP login (and you do, right??) then you can change it in My Account –> Edit Profile –> Change Your Gravatar.
Hey! You're not supposed to oil the wok! 😀
Great layout, btw! I'm trying to figure out how to get mah fat girl Rizzo's pic up here!
At first I thought I was on the wrong site. Looks really good! Do I get assigned a special Icon? Cool!
What is that thing?
i like this music better!!!
i mean the hammie music over the kittie music
Awww, poor hammie! Get him out of there before he has a heart attack or dies from exhaustion… :O
I'm sorry to say I did not find the video funny at all… Looks like the poor thing is in a panic and can't find a way to get out. I'm afraid they put the little hamster inside the wok purposely and that's definitely mean.
Love the music! But he's going to scratch the Teflon… and is that a hammy poop I see before me?
Looks like the hammie is stressed – I don't think he is having fun at all.
On the other hand, the kitties do seem to be having lots of fun 🙂
I'd like my hamie and eggs over-easy please.
lurves me some hammy!
once again with more intensity!
ROTFLMAO! It's back legs are a blur!
This is halAAAAAArious!!!!! Even my bunny isn't that spazzic! And that's SAYIN somethin! The hampster is so cute!
I feel like a fuddy duddy but why change Le Cute? It was perfect the way it was!
Sorry to break it to you, but a hamster cage isn't any more humane than a wok. Don't act all sanctimonious on us, please.
Hi Teho This is Annie. Well I didn't have a word press account but now I do.. only now I have a new name too
Any way thanks I still have to go upload my avatar. But thanks for the instructions.
Wok With Ham!!! (Any fellow CBC watching Canadians should get the reference :))
Also, does one need need a Word Press account to comment now? I see my comment, but does the rest of the interwebs see it too? 'Cuz when I tried to make a word press thingm they said 'nads' was taken and I use nads for everything. I can't keep track otherwise! So I didn't want to use another handle and did not procede with the account opening. So can someone vertify that they can actually read this? Sorry for the dumb request, I'm a bit computer logic challenged.
you should see a hamster in a fishbowl…
Words cannot express how happy this video makes me feel.
nads, apparently you can set up an acct under any name then use "nads" as your display name. Just dun ask me how….
Nads.. the word press account was to add an avitar but at the top of CO on the left there are avatar instructions so you can add one with out the wordpress account
Best part:
*sit up*
*fall back— aaaand quickly resume running*
Theo! I signed up, but how do I update the profile so I can add my avatar?
Also, there's no more link at the top of the page to go from one cutie to the next. Will we be getting that back?
Woo! Comment 100!!
I found the links at the bottom…..Doh! 🙂
Ok, the kittens was funny, they had a choice as to whether or not they wanted to try to climb up that slide. The hamster in the wok I think a bit cruel as it simply couldn't get out. Next they'll be putting the wok on the fire; no?
[No. – Ed.]
Ok, just posting so I can find out what avatar I get …
Yoiks! Looks like an angry Christmas tree that got attacked by a giant bat!
BTW, I agree little hammie looks scared panicked.
Yeah, I'm on the negative side on this one. Love the cat one to death, but the hamster can't just get out of the wok when it wants. Sweet kia commercial, though!
Theo, you're my hero. I really appreciate the answer–I felt so un-hip not knowing the lingo! (I just can't bring myself to buy a Bleenless Thong, but I appreciate the link…)
Meanwhile, in the hamster's mind: bood'n bood'n, screeee, neeryooom
Wow! 57000+ views at time of writing. Cute Overload is accounting for some 17000 or so of those. Thanks for linking it and helping to make it such a wild success. I'd say link my site, but I'm pretty sure the only other animal related post I have up is the one a couple of days ago with "real life" animal names. Thanks again to everyone who's watched and rated this!
To all those people saying how cruel this is, answer me one question. Exactly how is this any different than your standard hamsterball? They can't get out of one of those either.
omg not the Benny Hill theme song!
Correction to my previous comment: Cute Overload has sent over 22K people to my video! Cuteoverload.com accounts for 17K, http://www.cuteoverload.com for another 5K. Still amazed! 🙂
Gary and Northern Tigress, I suppose you can take the position that keeping ANY pet (unless it's allowed to run loose, and only returns voluntarily [and in most circumstances that's irresponsible]) is a form of imprisonment. The issue is, do you have the animal in an environment in which it is comfortable/content, or in one in which is it distressed? Pet rodents normally are content in a cage. If I put a hamster in a ball (for "floor time") and it appeared panicked or distressed, I'd take it out. I might try to find a way to introduce it gradually so it could acclimate, but if it was persistently unhappy, I just wouldn't use the thing. I'm not saying this hamster was "scarred for life," but to put it in a situation where it was panicking, and leave it there because its reaction was amusing, is not cute to me. If you want to take the PETA position that ALL pet owning is abusive, fine. But UNLESS you take that position, I think there's a recognizable distinction between a comfy cage and what's in this clip.
Michael, You got my position exactly backwards. I'm as as un-PETA as you can get. What I was trying to say that you can't tell anything about the pet, or its owner, based on one minute of video. "Oh my, the poor thing can't get out." So… it's a hamster. Its whole life it being kept in places where they can't get out. Cages. Hamsterballs. City-sized Hamster Habitats. And no matter how luxurious their environment might be, they will continue to try to "escape". I know. My friend's daughter owned a hamster-houdini.
Basically, my message was, and still is, "mellow out."
it's hard to tell whether the hammie is exercising, or frantically struggling to get out.
Just checking that my new name and pic are working!
I know it's sad, but I sort of like the idea that I commented on a post before it was 'really' up…
Less claw, more pad!
Ham looks like a marshmallow. *pops in mouf*
(Space Cowgirl here, ensconced in my new apartment in Toronto after the international move from Hell – love the new site!)
Like my dog in the bathtub…
Sorry, I'm just checking to see if I really look like a bug now…
No, I still look like a saber-toothed toaster. Darn it.
I'm sorry, but that is not even remotely funny. It is cruel and inhumane. Even if it your idea of a "joke". Find a new hobby moron.
This only works with the Benny Hill theme music. But I have to say it is funny. I don't care what the nuffers think. The Hamster Was Not Harmed in the making of the video. No one ate or injured the said Hammie and for all you do know – the Hammy liked the new environment and just pooped because well its what rodents do. I have had several pet rats and all pooped just where ever they were – even when sitting calmly cleaning on my shoulder. Tell me that is being mistreated. 😛
takin' a hammie for a walk in a wok!
Ooh, that's much better.
That was soo cute!
He pooped, and then fell right on his adorable little hampster buns.
that was cute, but kinda sad:(
Thank you, Michael, for saying exactly what I was thinking as I watched. The little hammie was clearly terrified.
okay new layouts throwing me off! lol anyways cute hamster! good exsersize for him but makes me hungry! Yay soy!! 😛
aww so cute and funny
Have I been ditched? No comments after April 6, 10 pm… I'm having flashbacks from my youth, when my big brother would pretend to let me tag along, until the sudden … "Ditch'em!" …. and all the big kids would scatter, laughing, leaving me mournful in the dust…
Has CuteOverLoad changed it's address?? And no one told me????
SoCalSis, My big brother used to play hide and seek with me.
I wouldn't see him for days. Waaahh!!11!
I need me a cute fix. NOW!!
Why no new cute? I really miss it.
Hi……………………What happened??????????????? having withdrawals here! Must have more cuteness!
Are you on strike? Have the nuffers finally got the best of you?
Now I KNOW I'm being ditched. Looks like everybody went over to the new cool CuteOverload site, and didn't tell Snorglepup, DumBunny, TooMuch or me. Okay, then. Let's make our OWN new cool club. We could call it The 4 Mausketeers, and it would be really cool, and we wouldn't let ANYONE else play. Okay? Okay!!
Um. Well. Yeah. Now I know where everyone went. They went on over to CuteOverload HOME. See, I had the OLD CO site on my homepage and it didn't update to the NEW one so I only had the OLD stuff and not the NEW stuff and… well… (as Emily Littelle would say)… " OH! Then… never mind…" (See everyone over on the NEW home page). (Boy was THAT embarrassing).
I just love it!
The music made it just that little bit cuter.
Congrats. =)
Why am I not getting any new photos on Yahoo Messenger, for a few weeks now?????

Adapted from King Arthur's Flour
These brownies are very dark in flavor and in color, so may not be best suited for people who like sweeter brownies, like kids. Take note, this recipe is a little bit unusual in that it adds the flour to the other ingredients last – but don't worry, if you stir in the flour earlier by accident (like I did) they will still come out OK. And as tempting as it will be to eat them straight out of the oven, let the brownies cool before removing them from the pan. They are very moist and tender, and will hold together better once cool.
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 8″ x 8″ pan.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat (or in the microwave) then remove from heat. Add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the butter mixture to the heat (or microwave) briefly, just until it's hot, but not bubbling. It will get shiney as you stir it. (According to King Arthur's Flour, this step will dissolve more of the sugar, creating the crackly shiny crust on top of your brownies.)
In a smaller bowl, crack 2 eggs and beat them with the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla till smooth.
Stir the hot butter mixture into the egg mixture until smooth.
Stir in the flour and chocolate chunks (or chips) until just combined. (Note: If you want the chips to remain intact in the baked brownies, rather than melting in, let the batter cool in the bowl for about 20 minutes before stirring in the chips.)
Pour the batter into a lightly greased 8″ x 8″ pan and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean, with some moist crumbs but no loose batter. Cool on a rack before serving.

WASHINGTON — The White House staff has drafted an executive order repealing requirements that federal contractors set numerical goals to remedy possible job discrimination.
White House officials contend the existing rules have not significantly helped blacks in low-wage jobs, have encouraged employers to discriminate against white men and have burdened employers with the high cost of compliance. Since 1968, thousands of government contractors have been required to hire and promote blacks, women and Hispanics in rough proportion to the number of available qualified candidates in a given labor market.

Husband Cares for Wife with Alzheimer's
Editor's Note: Preachers, this is a powerful illustration about the beauty of committed marital love. It's longer than many of our illustrations, but it's worth sharing since our people desperately need positive examples of marriage.
My parents got married when they were 19 and recently celebrated their sixty-second wedding anniversary. But today things aren't easy for them. My mom struggles with Alzheimer's. Something about the evening ...

The demand to go home must be common among those suffering with dementia. My pastor dad continuously asked to be taken home even though he was at home where he had lived for years with our mom whom he adored and lovingly spoiled during their 71 years of marriage. They, too, were married at age nineteen. One evening my sister put Daddy in the car after his pleading to be taken home. They drove and drove trying to find "home." When dad could not find it, he told my sister, "The next time I ask someone to take me home I am going to ask someone who knows where they are going." We still laugh about that after eighteen years.

I understand this disease very well. My husband's mother lived in our home for seven years while she digressed with Alzheimers. It is hard to see our loved ones lose their memory, but even in this loss of memory--love never fails. It's stronger than this disease. Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.

Ana Ivanovic is one of the most popular female professional tennis players. She is popular for her great Tennis game, which took her to the world number one ranking in 2008, as well as for her stunning looks.
Great Fitness And A Superb Forehand!
Ivanovic was born in 1987 in Belgrade, Serbia. She started playing tennis at the young age of 5. Her fellow countrywoman Monica Seles was a great inspiration for her professional tennis career.
Ivanovic did not have it easy in her youth, living in Belgrade. In the winter months she often trained in an empty swimming pool because there were no indoor courts available to her!
She also lived and trained in Belgrade during the NATO bombings in 1999! These experiences most likely made her even hungrier for success in Tennis!
Like most other world-class players, Ivanovic was already successful as a junior. In 2004 she reached the finals of the Wimbledon juniors tournament.
As a professional Ivanovic's biggest win so far was the victory at the 2008 French Open.
That year she also reached the world number 1 ranking. She has won 10 tournaments on the WTA Tour so far. In 2011 she is trying to come back from a bit of a slump. Her ranking is currently outside the Top20.
Game Analysis
Ana Ivanovic has some of the cleanest groundstrokes in the women's game!
Let's break down her entire game in detail!
1. Technical
Ivanovic has a great forehand!
It is usually her most dangerous shot and the way she hits it is very close to the basic forehand model that I teach students of all ages and almost all levels!
Ana Ivanovic Hitting Some Killer Forehands!
Ana has a rather conservative grip. My guess is that she has her right hand index knuckle on bevel 3.5, which is a great grip for players at all levels! This grip allows her to hit rather flat winners, which is extremely important in women?s tennis!
Her motion starts with a beautiful unit turn, coiling her upper body.
The racket travels on a high to low to high swing path and she keeps her head very still at contact.
Usually she finishes up high, catching the racket with her left hand. This helps her get great depth on the shot!
Overall she makes great use of the kinetic chain!

Ana hits a nice two-handed backhand. It is a very consistent stroke with sound mechanics!
Her backhand down the line is
one of the best shots in her game!
Ivanovic has a very good grip structure on her backhand. Looking at some slow motion videos of the stroke, I believe her right hand index knuckle is on bevel 1.5 and her left hand index knuckle is on bevel 7.
Her swing has a beautiful inside-out shape to it and she uses her entire body to generate a lot of leverage. The high finish position helps her get great depth on the shot!
Ivanovic's slice backhand is neither very good nor very bad in my opinion. She uses the shot mainly in defensive situations and those shots tend to float too much. It could be that she lacks a bit of forearm strength for this but more likely she is not aware of the problem and simply has not practiced it intentionally enough.
Ivanovic is not a great net player. She is not afraid to come in and finish points at the net though, which I believe is an edge that she has on a lot of her opponents in the women's game!
On her forehand volley she tends to swing a bit too much at the ball and on her backhand volley she has trouble keeping the racket head stable enough at contact. Her volleys are usually good enough to finish points that she prepared well from the baseline though.
Now Ivanovic's serve has been the topic of a lot of discussions.
She has had a lot of ups and downs with her serve and there were periods when the serve was a big liability in her game!
Looking at some older highlights of her playing in 2006, it seems like she had an ok serve with a fluid motion and a good toss just above her head and into the court.
In recent years she has had some major issues with her serve though. The biggest issue is the inconsistency with her toss!
Sometimes her toss is way off to the right!
Ivanovic Serve Slow Motion
The toss is too far to the right of her body!
This toss that is too far off to the right has been a problem with her serve for a while now. It causes her to open up her body way too early and she loses control over the serve.
In 2009 I believe she also tried an abbreviated service motion with a shorter swing. That didn't work out well at all and was probably the low point in her serving career.
Looking at some recent video in 2011, it seems like the toss is a little more over her head again and a little more consistent in general. She still opens up too early though and her serve could be improved a whole in many aspects!
2. Tactical
I think Ana Ivanovic has a good general game plan.
She looks to dictate from the baseline, hitting a lot of inside-in and inside-out forehands mixed in with some down the line backhand winners.
What she also does well is take short balls early and then come in to finish off the points. Her conservative forehand grip allows her to take these short balls very early and take time away from opponents.
Returning serves well and putting pressure on opponents serves is extremely important in women's pro tennis and I believe Ana could do a better job at this from a tactical standpoint.
This is partially due to her swings being too big on service returns but possibly her mindset is also not aggressive enough when returning serves.
3. Physical
Ana is in very good shape. She certainly puts in the hard work off the court that it takes to be a world class professional.
Her footwork is exceptional!
One thing you can notice is that she tends to use a lot of small adjustment steps right before she hits. This makes sure that she is in the absolute best possible set up and allows her to really swing hard at the ball as often as possible.
Another thing to note is that her footwork moving forward is very good. One of her biggest strengths is taking shorter balls relatively early and putting a lot of pressure on her opponents.
Check out Ana training and talking about her fitness regime!
4. Mental
Judging Ana Ivanovic from a mental standpoint seems quite difficult to me.
I think that she is actually a great fighter with good attitude on the court. Unfortunately, her serving issues have caused her to loose confidence in her Tennis at times.
Another thing to note is that Ana has stated many times that she has extremely high expectations of herself and that it can hold her back.
Expecting yourself to play extremely well all the time is simply an unrealistic expectation and leads to mental problems for all tennis players!
Ivanovic has also stated that she regained her confidence mainly through a tougher fitness regimen. Assuming you have no major technical issues, I believe that working really hard on your fitness is one of the best ways to boost your confidence on the tennis court!
The biggest issue in Ivanovic's game has been her serve. Therefore, I ranked her number 4 on the technical side of things even though her groundstrokes are extremely good.
1. Tactical
2. Physical
3. Mental
4. Technical
Coaching Recommendation
The main thing Ivanovic needs to work on is her serve!
She needs to get a coach that really understands serve mechanics and can help her develop a solid serve. The first thing to be addressed is her toss. It should be more over her head and not as far to the right.
She could also benefit from working on the fluidity of her motion and not opening up too early with the upper body! Once the serve becomes better, her confidence will skyrocket in my opinion.
Two other things to improve are return of serve
and defensive slice backhands.
Her swings are often too big on those returns and her slice backhands float too much!
These technical adjustments combined with the hard physical work that she already does could get her back to the Top5 in my opinion!

3 must-have insurance covers this Diwali
Sree Ram R, Outlook Money | October 19, 2006
The Rangma tribe in Nagaland celebrates Ngadah festival after the harvest in November-end every year. On the last day of the eight-day festival, they perform three rites to protect themselves from natural calamities.
Making peace with fire is the first ritual they perform, in the hope that it would secure them and their belongings from this mighty force. With the festival of lights round the corner, we have a lesson to learn from the Rangmas.
Even after being extra careful about handling crackers and diyas, we can never completely eliminate the risk of fire. This is where insurance covers help. Though there are no festival-specific insurance policies in India, some of these can bail you out from the risks that festivals entail.
The threat of indoor damage extends from the furniture and upholstery to the Hussain painting on your wall or the antique vase on the shelf. All of these can be covered under the householder's policy. This policy covers 10 different risks, including fire, burglary and breakdown of domestic appliances. You can get a cover worth Rs 100,000 for your property against fire at a cost of Rs 50.
Though fire hazard is high during this season, it is not the only threat. Risks such as burglary, damage and loss are heightened during this period. In order to mitigate these other risks, you can pick and choose from the various options available under a comprehensive householder's policy.
Experts say that you should insure your property against fire and burglary and the belongings you insure should include jewellery and mobile equipment like TV and camera. A household cover worth Rs 100,000 will have a premium of around Rs 2,210.
Risks like breakage of windowpanes and breakdown of electrical appliances are all comprehensively covered under this policy. Those who step out of their homes to celebrate with friends and extended family can opt for robbery cover for their homes at Rs 150 for every lakh of insured value.
Jewellery is at a lot of risk during the festive season, with revellers wearing it liberally while attending ceremonies and parties. But jewellery can be insured too. Says Rahul Aggarwal, director, Optima Risk Management Services, "A policyholder will be reimbursed the value of the jewellery if it is lost or damaged."
Cover is usually available at a premium of Rs 10 for jewellery worth Rs 1,000. The cover can be extended to electronic gadgets. Cameras and handycams that are busy recording the festivities can also be insured.
Comprehensive motor insurance takes care of damages to your vehicle. If your car catches fire due to a rocket fired by your neighbour, the repairing expenses can be covered through a cashless form of motor insurance. On an average, insurance charges will be 3 per cent or Rs 9,000 for a car valued at Rs 300,000.
Then, there is the possibility that you might hurt yourself. You can get a health cover, which will take care of all your hospitalisation expenses for Rs 1,300 per Rs 100,000 of cover.
Whether the risks against which you are buying cover are serious enough to justify the cost of the policy is a subjective question. However, there is no denying the fact that the covers act as a protective shield against risks which you could be exposing yourself to amidst the festivities.
Our advice? Have fun but stay safe!

U.S. Bolsters Ties to Fighters in Syria
CIA Helping With Logistics but Not Arms, Officials Say
WASHINGTON—U.S. intelligence operatives and diplomats have stepped up their contacts with Syrian rebels in part to help organize their burgeoning military operations against President Bashar al-Assad's forces, according to senior U.S. officials.

Whenever any session of DS is running, it will claim precedence over any other application using audio. That means, for example, if I'm voice chatting, I can no longer hear the output from that. This occurs regardless of when I start DS in relation to the other program. Perhaps make an option so that DS won't hog my headset?
GaH! I've been having the same problems. Always telling me that something's clogging the audio, so I can't listen to my music. =(

The European Court of Human Rights has unanimously found that the detention of a mentally ill man in a police cell for over three days violated his rights under Article 3. The issue before the Court was whether the authorities fulfilled their obligation to protect the applicant, MS, from treatment contrary to Article 3.
The Court has found that the applicant was in a state of great vulnerability throughout the entire time at the police station, as manifested by the abject condition to which he quickly descended inside his cell. He was in dire need of appropriate psychiatric treatment, as each of the medical professionals who examined him indicated. The Court considered that this situation, which persisted until he was at last transferred to Reaside Clinic early on the fourth day of his detention, diminished excessively his fundamental human dignity.
The authorities were therefore under an obligation to safeguard his dignity, and are responsible under the Convention for the treatment he experienced. The Court found that the conditions which the applicant was required to endure were an affront to human dignity and reached the threshold of degrading treatment for the purposes of Article 3.
Aswini Weereratne and Kate Annand were instructed by Peter Carlin of Peter Edwards on behalf of the appellant.
