The flame-haired Lady Aurian is not only a mageof great power, but also a heroine of great verve and spirit.

I don't think I could pick a favorite photo. There were so many great pictures...from artistic photos, to the ones that captured special moments during the day, I loved them all.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
She never disrupted our day. Linda was there for every moment, but never got in the way. She was very easy to work with! Linda has incredible pictures of everything about our day...my getting ready....the ceremony....our portraits....and the fun and dancing at our reception! She is a real pro!

Our package included engagment pictures and albums for us and our parents.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
Linda is very approachable and a great listener. She really listened to what we wanted out of our pictures and delivered it that day. When we told her we wanted a specific picture, she always had a great attitude and fulfilled our request.

How Much Aspirin Can a Person Take in a Day?03/11/2008 |
How much is too much Asperin to be taken in one day?
There is not a simple answer to your question. The amount of aspirin one person can take in a day varies depending on what a person is taking the aspirin for.
For example, a person with rheumatoid arthritis may take up to 6 grams (~18 325 mg tablets) a day, whereas someone using it for a healthy heart will only take 81 mg of aspirin a day. If one is just using it for normal, minor aches and pains or headache, the recommended dose of aspirin is 325 to 650 mg every 4 hours as needed with a maximum dose of 3.9 grams/day (12 tablets of 325 mg aspirin).

Syncing Up - The Magic Of Doing Nothing
If your PC and router are already on the same network and you can login to your routers web interface you can skip this and go to the Web Interface section.
Your wireless router and modem have a way of syncing up with each other on their own when you power cycle (Turn them off and back on again.) them. If your PC or wireless device is set to receive a DHCP address simply restarting it should result in it being configured with a DHCP address that works with your router.
The magic of DHCP will also configure your computer with the Gateway, DNS server and DHCP server it needs to connect to the router and the Internet. This all happens auto-magically!
Depending on how long it takes your PC to reboot this can actually take a little longer then just doing it manually but if you really hate typing in IP Addresses this is the way to go.

Hedge Funds' Derivatives Exposure and Margin Calls Driving Stock Market Crash
Leading economist Nouriel Roubini explains in bullet-point form how hedge funds are driving the stock market collapse. Take careful note of how credit default swaps are a key factor in the stock market sell-off, and how another type of derivative - "collateralized fund obligations" - may be the next shoe to drop:
- Oct 15: Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s hedge-fund clients may have to pay more collateral on $65 billion of assets frozen when the investment bank went bankrupt a month ago--> "If your bank fails, you still have to pay your mortgage." Moreover, hedge funds are among the net sellers of credit protection in the $54 trillion credit derivatives environment and might be called to perform on their obligations wrt Lehman, WaMu, Kaupthing, etc.
- Oct 1: There are dozens of hedge funds whose Lehman prime-brokerage accounts were frozen when the company filed for protection from creditors on Sept. 15. "One executive who used Lehman as a prime broker -- and who asked not to be named because his firm is private -- estimates that hedge funds had between $50 billion and $70 billion in Lehman prime-brokerage accounts." Moreover, hedge funds had pledged equity securities as collateral that Lehman then loaned to other investors under a practice known as rehypothecation - PWC says in that case "clients may cease to have any proprietary interest in them."
- Perfect Storm for Hedge Funds: Short-selling rules were altered in a flash, the implosion of brokerages reduces the possibility for borrowing money, they're stuck with delevering, and to top it off, many are getting hit with redemptions as September comes to a close, marking the end of the year for many funds. (MarketBeat) Redemptions could lead to fire sales and vicious circle.
- FT Alphaville: Because so many firms hold similar positions, forced selling by one in response to redemptions can have ripple effects, forcing other funds to sell. More nimble hedge funds have sought to profit from the dynamic by taking short positions in securities known to be widely held by rivals --> HF adopt strategies to take advantage of competitors' unwinding positions
- NYT: In the month of July, hedge funds experienced nearly $12 billion in outflows. September 30 is the deadline when many funds are scheduled to accept withdrawal requests for the end of the year. To pay back investors, some funds may be forced to dump investments at a time when the markets are already shaky thus fuelling a vicious circle--> some hedge funds are reported to block withdrawals.
- Attari/Ruckes: Redemption feature causes fundamental maturity mismatch with borrowing short term and lending/investing long-term and illiquid e.g. in leveraged loans--> when redemptions increase, hedge funds have no other choice than liquidate assets thus fuelling a negative spiral. Evidence from leveraged loan market shows that this is unravelling is underway.
- cont.: Rating agencies start to downgrade collateralized fund obligations (C.F.O.) which are the hedge fund equivalent of mortgage-backed securities: securities backed by hedge funds. Some have a 7-year lock-up period. While few in number, C.F.O.'s represent a broad swath of the $2 trillion industry.
- About 350 were liquidated in the first half of the year and if the trend continues, the number of closures would be up 24 percent this year from 2007.
- Seides (InvestorsInsight): Hedge funds are sellers of 32% of all CDS, insuring exposure of $14.5 trillion. Recent estimates indicate that the entire hedge fund market is approximately $2.5 trillion in net assets under management. Thus, hedge funds are bearing risk in excess of their ability to pay the piper if anything goes wrong--> risk might well land again with former investment banks and broker dealers.
- Roubini: "one cannot rule out that some systemically important hedge fund may get into trouble with systemic consequences."

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS334650
The agitator kit is most commonly used if the top part of the agitator is not moving correctly but the bottom is. This kit now includes all pieces shown in photo plus the thrust spacer, inner cap seal and washer. May need agitator grease for repair.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
This kit contains one screw with rubber gasket and threaded sealant. The screw head is 7/16".
Also known as an O-Ring. This black o-ring seal is three inches in diameter.
This white thrust spacer is made of plastic and is also commonly referred to as a retainer ring. It is used in the agitator assembly of many direct drive washing machine models. This is the retaining ring for inside of agitator. May need agitator grease for repair.
1. Removed the softener dispenser2. Removed the cap covering the clutch dogs and the bolt holding it all in place.3. Removed the bolt holding the two agitator pieces and the clutch dogs together.4.

Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
First unscrew panel and it s an easy access to the timer. Unplug wiring in the timer and put the new one and put panel back. No need for instruction its a one plug wiring. Very easy and a lot of space to work on.
I'm really impressed with this website. I was able to quickly diagnose the problem with my machine. I watched the video and thought that this was something that I might be able to do myself. I'm a woman and I like to understand how things work and do my own repairs when I can. My machine is over 16 years old, so I had to scrape some waxy-like buildup from the inner cap before I could remove it. Other than that, I followed the instructional video, which was excellent. I found that I did not need the inner cap seal that I had ordered because a new one was included in the agitator repair kit.
First I removed the liquid fabric softener cover, then removed the seal with my fingers, then used a socket with an extension to remove the single bolt that holds the agitator to the spindle. Next, I pulled up to remove the agitator and tipped it upside down to take out the centrifugal mechanism. Then, I simply replaced the old parts with the new ones, and put it back together, as it shows in the included diagram. It took about fifteen minutes. I was glad to be able to go online, and quickly locate the exact parts our machine needed, at a reasonable price! Our machine now works like new again.
First take Fabric Softener Dispenser and cap off Agitator, locate nut, unscrew and wiggle up and out. Agitator Repair Kit comes with the cam dogs and assembly that you put together. (They will only fit one way) I opted to get the Upper Agitator as well since the old one had frayed edges. It is easier to turn over the Upper Agitator and place the assembled Repair Kit inside it then turn over and replace in original position. Using old nut, screw to the lower agitator. Replace cap and Fabric Softener Dispenser.
The agitator kit comes with everything you see in the picture plus the Thrust spacer and O ring. Removed the fabric softener container from the top of the agitator. This revealed the sealing cap that covers the bolt. Removed it using the 2 little handles and rocked it back and forth until it came loose. It doesn't take that much force. Now you see the the bolt to remove. You'll need a socket wrench that has a long extension section ( I didn't have one so I put 2 smaller extension on / it works). Once the wrench was securely in place on the bolt, I held onto the bottom section agitator/ fin with one hand and removed the bolt with the other. I pulled up on the unit and both agitator sections came off together. Once out of the machine, I held the bottom section with my feet and pulled up on the upper section to separate them ( pretty easy) . Removed all the old parts to replace and did a complete clean up of the shaft and bottom( mine was 21 years since serviced there). Used agitator grease on the cleaned shaft area and on the Thrust spacer section. I assembled the agiator dog ears part asper instruction and used a needle nose pliers to remove the plastic nubs that are only use for factory installations. Put the assembly into the agitator tube, then onto the lower section. I put that back onto the shaft, wiggling it until it fell into the grooved section. Once everything was in place, I put in the bolt ( didn't get a new one in time, so I used the old one / it works) and tightened it good. I put a new O ring on the protective cap. I greased it a little so it would go back into place easily, it did. Replaced the softener holder and I was done. Works like new.
was really simple like others before me described. Removed cap to excess recessed bolt. Once that was out of the way pulled up gently on agitator and disassembled the agitator from base. Actually repair only took about 8 minutes. Working like new again and that keeps everybody happy! Thanks again.
popped off softener cap, easy. Pulled out clear plastic sealer, removed nut holding agitator in, pulled out agitator. Removed cam holder, new cam bearing etc in, reverse removal done, piece of cake.
I removed dispenser for softener, then pulled cap inside upper agitator, I was able to get my fingers in the grips and pull firmly to unseat it. (disgard o-ring it comes with the repair kit). I then removed the bolt from center and grabbed the bottom of the lower agitator and gave it a good tug to release the whole unit. If that don't work you can get a flat tip screwdriver between the two sections and pry up slightly. Once it was all loose I removed the upper assembly taking care to to remember how all the pieces were assembled. replaced everything in the same order and when it came time to reinstall the inner cap and seal I made sure I put the cap in straight. Also if the seal doesn't cooperate you can use a little liquid soap to lubricate it. you dont want to use grease because it could possibly get on the clothes (the softener sits in there)! You can use the tip of the screwdriver to tuck the oring in if that doesn't work but be very careful
Had no problem. The instructions included with the repair parts were very easy to follow and even specified the tools to use. I had it done, back on the washer and washing clothes in about a half an hour. The down side(no fault of the parts) was that the entire pump system went out on the second load and we wound up with a new Whirpool washer, since repairs were more than the machine was worth. Thanks Parts select for your help. I plan to search your net for more products. Fixing things from engines to microswitches is a hobby for me.
Remove softener dispencer, use flat tip screw driver to remove agitator cap, there is a slot, insert flat tip screw driver and pry up, once removed you will see the damaged dogs or cogs, use 3/8 drive ratchet with 10 or 12 inch extention and if memory serves me correct a 9/16 socket, loosen bolt and remove top agitator, there is a thrust washer between bottom and top agitator, it comes in the kit, use a little grease preferrably water resistant grease on top of washer, replace top agitator then the plastic device that the cog are inserted into and tighten bolt, put agitator cover back on with a gentle slap of the palm and reinstall softener dispencer, you are done and cloths will agitate properly again, fairly easy job and washer agitator works like new, great kit, would reccomend.
Followed the directions provided. Took less than 15 minutes and the washer works like new.
I removed the cap over the ratchet mechanism, removed the ut holding the agitator in place, removed the agitator and cleaned all the parts. The assembly for the ratchet dogs was a 3 piece assembly that was included in the kit I bought from Part Select. I also bought a new cap and gasket since my old gasket had broken too. A new gasket was already included in the kit, so I didn't need ot buy the cap. I liked that th ekit included everything I needed and good instructions. parts got to me in about 3 days. Very happy with my Parts Select experience and the fact I saved at least $100.
took off the soap dispenser, removed the agitator using a 7/16" socket with an extension. replaced the old top agitator dogs and retaining ring with new ones, re-installed top agitator on bottom, thenput whole assembly back shaft, dropped in bold and tightened. whole experience was fast and simple. the parts came fast and where a perfect fit.
I popped of the fabric softner dispenser at the top auger by appling pressure with both thumbs rather than use the notch provided. This gives access to the agitator mounting bolt which was removed with a deep socket and extension on a ratchet handle. The agitator slipped right off the splined shaft by pulling upward at two points at the bottom. I ordered the complete agitator repair kit which included a part that improved the operation of the top auger, it may have been a factory upgrade at some point on this machine. I did use silicone grease where required and I feel that this is a must for longevity of the thrust washer. If you are ordering the complete kit, the o-ring seal for the inner cap is included. The machine washes like it was new.

Jack Palance (February 18, 1919 – November 10, 2006) was a Ukrainian American film actor. With his rugged facial features, Palance was best known to modern movie audiences as both the characters of Curly and Duke in the two City Slickers movies, the first for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, but his career spanned half a century of film and television appearances.
Contents |
Palance, one of five children, was born Volodymyr Palahniuk (Ukrainian: Володимир Палагнюк) in the Lattimer Mines section of Hazle Township, Pennsylvania, the son of Anna (née Gramiak) and Ivan Palahniuk, who was an anthracite coal miner.[1] Palance's parents were Ukrainian immigrants,[2][3] his father a native of Ivane Zolote in Southwestern Ukraine and his mother from the Lviv region.[4] He worked in coal mines during his youth before becoming a boxer.
In the late 1930s, Palance started a professional boxing career. Fighting under the name Jack Brazzo, Palance reportedly compiled a record of 15 consecutive victories with 12 knockouts before fighting the future heavyweight contender Joe Baksi in a "Pier-6" brawl. Palance lost a close decision,[5][6] and recounted: "Then, I thought, you must be nuts to get your head beat in for $200".[7]
With the outbreak of the Second World War, Palance's boxing career ended and his military career began as a member of the United States Army Air Forces. Palance's rugged face, which took many beatings in the boxing ring, was disfigured when he bailed out of a burning B-24 Liberator bomber while on a training flight over southern Arizona, where he was a student pilot. Plastic surgeons repaired the damage as best they could, but he was left with a distinctive, somewhat gaunt, look. After much reconstructive surgery, he was discharged in 1944.
Palance graduated from Stanford University in 1947 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Drama. During his university years, to make ends meet he also worked as a short order cook, waiter, soda jerk, lifeguard at Jones Beach State Park, and photographer's model.
Palance's acting break came as Marlon Brando's understudy in A Streetcar Named Desire, and he eventually replaced Brando on stage as Stanley Kowalski.
In 1947, Palance made his Broadway debut, and this was followed three years later by his screen debut in the movie Panic in the Streets (1950). The very same year, he was featured in Halls of Montezuma about the U.S. Marines in World War II, where he was credited as "Walter (Jack) Palance". Palance was quickly recognized for his skill as a character actor, receiving an Oscar nomination for only his third film role, as Lester Blaine in Sudden Fear.
The following year, Palance was again nominated for an Oscar, this time for his role as the hired gunfighter Jack Wilson in Shane. Several other Western roles followed, but he also played such varied roles as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula and Attila the Hun.
In 1957, Palance won an Emmy for best actor for his portrayal of Mountain McClintock in the Playhouse 90 production of Rod Serling's Requiem for a Heavyweight.
Jean-Luc Godard persuaded Palance to take on the role of Hollywood producer Jeremy Prokosch in the 1963 nouvelle vague movie Le Mépris, with Brigitte Bardot and Michel Piccoli. Although the main dialogue was in French, Palance spoke mostly English.
While still busy making movies, in the 1960s Palance also released an album of country-Western music for Warner Bros. Records. This happened in 1969 and it recalled the Lee Hazlewood music that was popular at the time. Recorded in Nashville with the usual studio cats, the album is a playful country rock romp not unlike other late 60's Nashville recordings and featured Palance's self penned classic song "The Meanest Guy That Ever Lived". The album was re-released in 2003 by the "Walter" label in CD version.
He starred the 24 episodes series Bronk between 1975 and 1976.
He also hosted (with his daughter Holly Palance) the television series Ripley's Believe It or Not!.
Appearances in Young Guns (1988) and Tim Burton's Batman (1989) reinvigorated Palance's career, and demand for his services kept him involved in new projects each year right up to the turn of the century.
Palance, at the time chairman of the Hollywood Trident Foundation, walked out of a Russian Film Festival in Hollywood. After being introduced, Palance said, "I feel like I walked into the wrong room by mistake. I think that Russian film is interesting, but I have nothing to do with Russia or Russian film. My parents were born in Ukraine: I'm Ukrainian. I'm not Russian. So, excuse me, but I don't belong here. It's best if we leave."[8]
In 2001, Palance returned to the recording studio as a special guest on friend Laurie Z's Heart of the Holidays album to narrate the famous classic poem The Night Before Christmas.
In 2002, he starred in the television movie Living with the Dead opposite Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen and Diane Ladd. In 2004, he starred in another television production, Back When We Were Grownups, opposite Blythe Danner, his performance as Poppy being Palance's last.
According to writer Mark Evanier, comic book creator Jack Kirby modeled his character Darkseid on the actor.[9]
Four decades after his film debut, Palance won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor on March 30, 1992, for his performance as cowboy Curly Washburn in the 1991 comedy City Slickers. Stepping onstage to accept the award, the intimidatingly fit 6' 4" (1.93 m) actor looked down at 5' 7" (1.70 m) Oscar host Billy Crystal (who was also his co-star in the movie), and joked — mimicking one of his lines from the film — "Billy Crystal... I crap bigger than him." He then dropped to the floor and demonstrated his ability, at age 73, to perform one-handed push-ups. Crystal then turned this into a running gag. At various points in the broadcast, he announced that Palance was backstage on the Stairmaster; had "just bungee-jumped off the Hollywood sign"; had rendezvoused with the Space Shuttle in orbit; had fathered all the children in a production number; had been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive; and had won the New York primary election. At the end of the broadcast, Crystal told everyone he'd like to see them again "but I've just been informed Jack Palance will be hosting next year." (The following year, host Crystal arrived on stage atop a giant model of the Oscar statuette, being towed by Palance using his teeth.)
At the 1993 Academy Awards, Palance presented the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress to Marisa Tomei, which resulted in a famous Oscar controversy. The American film critic Rex Reed was dissatisfied with Tomei's win, and started a rumor that Palance had erroneously called out the wrong name when opening the envelope. Reed espoused that Palance had been unable to read the printing on the card inside the envelope, had become confused or was too "drunk" or "stoned" to announce the winner properly. In 1997, Reed claimed on television that a "massive cover-up" was underway to prevent the public from finding out about the mistake. The rumor became a Hollywood urban legend. Palance refuted Reed's claim, saying he had been correct in reading Tomei's name as the winner when opening the envelope. He called the rumor about the "false win" upsetting and felt it would destroy Tomei's career.
Bruce Davis, executive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, issued an official statement: "The legend of Marisa Tomei's 'mistaken Oscar' has appeared in various forms over the years and in that short time has achieved the status of urban myth. There is no more truth to this version than to any of the others we've heard. If such a scenario were ever to occur, the Price Waterhouse people backstage would simply step out onstage and point out the error. They are not shy."
Tomei refused to comment on the rumor, calling it extremely hurtful. She would go on to receive critical acclaim and respect for future performances in Unhook the Stars, Alfie and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead and received Academy Award nominations for In the Bedroom and The Wrestler. Roger Ebert commented on his website that "Not only is the rumor untrue, it is unfair to Marisa Tomei, and Rex Reed owes her an apology."
Palance has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6608 Hollywood Boulevard. In 1992, he was inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Palance was married to his first wife, Virginia Baker, from 1949 to 1968. They had three children: Holly (born in 1950), an actress, Brooke (born in 1952) and Cody (1955–1998).
Daughter Brooke married Michael Wilding, son of Michael Wilding Sr. (1912-1979) and Elizabeth Taylor; they have three children as well.
An actor himself, Cody Palance appeared alongside his father in the film Young Guns, and was just 42 when he died from malignant melanoma on July 16, 1998. Jack Palance had hosted The Cody Palance Memorial Golf Classic to raise awareness and funds for a cancer center in Los Angeles. Besides being an actor, Cody Palance was a musician who performed live with his band.[10]
Palance became divorced and married Elaine Rogers in May 1987. On New Year's Day 2003, his first wife Virginia Baker (July 7, 1922 - January 1, 2003) was struck by a car and killed in Los Angeles.
Palance painted and sold landscape art, with a poem included on the back of each picture. He is also the author of The Forest of Love, a book of poems, published in 1996 by Summerhouse Press.
True to his roots, Palance acknowledged a life-long attachment to his Pennsylvania heritage and visited there when able. Shortly before his death, he had placed his Butler Township, Pennsylvania, Holly-Brooke farm up for sale and his personal art collection up for auction.[11]
Palance died at the age of 87, of natural causes, at his daughter's home in Montecito in Santa Barbara County.[12] He was cremated, and his ashes were retained by family and friends.[13] Jack Palance lived for a number of years around Tehachapi, near Bakersfield, in the high desert of southern California.
Following other recent celebrity auctions, Palance's personal lifetime collection of over 3,000 items at his Holly-Brooke Farm (named for his two daughters) in Butler Township, Pennsylvania went on the auction block in October 2006. Auction planners purposely included some smaller keepsakes for people who wanted something belonging to the 87-year-old actor. "People can spend $5 or $50,000 at this auction", said Phil Eagle, an antique appraiser who traveled from California to painstakingly authenticate the items and sort them into manageable lots to be sold.[11]
"Each item will bear a special sticker featuring a picture of the actor and the words 'Jack Palance Collection' to add to the value and future collectibility", Eagle said.[11]

Newlyweds Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill travel through Swedish capital in horse-drawn carriage
Following their breathtakingly beautiful nuptials in Stockholm's Royal Chapel on Saturday afternoon, Princess Madeleine and her husband Chris O'Neill made their way through Gamla Stan, the charming medieval old town, in an horse-drawn carriage.
The newlyweds looked elated as they were driven through the sunny city streets to rapturous applause and a sea of blue and yellow flags waved by well-wishers.
The Princess looked picture-perfect for her fairytale wedding, radiant in a stunning Valentino creation.
Husband and wife smiled and waved enthusiastically to the gathered crowds as they made their way to the harbour where they boarded a royal vessel on a tiny islet, Riddarholmen, to take them across the water to Drottningholm Palace.
Much pomp and ceremony surrounded the royal procession, with dozens of fabulous horses making up the cortège. Troops from the Army, Air Force and Navy were positioned along the route.
The moving spectacle travelled through Slottsbacken, Skeppsbron, Strömbron, Strömgatan, Norrbro, Slottskajen, Myntgatan and Wrangelska Backen to Evert Taubes Terrass to reach the dock.
They rode in a Parade Barouche which was made by L.V. Nylund's coach factory in Stockholm at around the turn of the last century. It is the same barouche that was used by the King and Queen at their wedding.
To enable as many people as possible to see the newly-weds, the carriage is drawn by four steeds à la d'Aumont, which means there is a driver mounted on one of the horses, thus giving them maximum exposure.
From there, the bride and groom and their invitees travelled by boat to the palace to dance the night away at the banquet hosted by the King and Queen of Sweden.
The partygoers travelled on the spectacular 1930s Art Deco style S/S Stockholm.
The best Swedish culinary delights will be served at the Palace's gala dinner – one of the largest palaces in Europe decorated in baroque style – with a menu created by Swedish Michelin-starred chef Mathias Dahlgren.
The end of their truly magical day will come in the form of a glamorous dinner dance for the King and Queen's youngest daughter in the Palace's White Sea Hall, which will be attended by no fewer than 350 guests.
The Palace has particular significance for Madeleine, also titled the Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland, because it's where she made her entrance into the world.
"It means a lot to me, because I was born and raised there," she said ahead of the big day.

In an attempt to peacefully deliver its demands for better treatment of Nigerian passengers, Respect Nigerians Coalition (RNC) was met at British Airways by heavily armed anti-riot police.
But this begs the question why Brutish Airways would insist on the presence of armed police officers when dealing with complaining customers? After all, Nigerians have a right to gather, complain and do what they like in their own country. Personally, this just reinforces the fact that Brutish Airways has absolutely no respect for Nigerians and could care less if we boycott or don't boycott. It seems that it was only when the company realized that journalists were present that they decided to actually meet with RNC members.
I, for one, continue to support the boycott and can only hope that others will too.
Finally, on Thursday, May 29th, it will mark one year since the Nigerian Proclamation and the recognition Nigerian bloggers and this site received for taking a stance on the state of Nigerian politics. If you are unfamiliar with the Nigerian Proclamation, please read up on it to learn more. For others, this week will feature a wonderful post on Wednesday from a fellow Nigerian blogger on their vision for Nigeria. On Thursday, there will be a post commemorating the one year anniversary of the Nigerian Proclamation. I continue to believe that Nigerians will change our country for the better. All you need to do is believe.
Thanks to Chxta for helping me decide what to blog about today.

Demand side platforms bring display into the hands of search marketers
There is a lot of buzz in the digital world at present around the rise of demand side platforms and real time bidding being the future for display advertising and particularly network buying.
With all the data, technology, and bidding involved, paid search marketers could find themselves best placed to take advantage of the rising popularity.
Man vs. Machine: the automation of PPC campaigns
Econsultancy's PPC Bid Management Technology Buyer's Guide published last week highlights an increased reliance on automated campaign management tools.
But how necessary is it to use this kind of software?
Google: the search party ain't over
Are Google's best days behind it? The company may be one of the most recognized brands on the internet, and one of the most important technology companies in the world, but Google isn't quite growing like a weed anymore.
That gives analysts and pundits plenty of ammunition to ask whether Google's future is less bright than its past. Fortune is the latest publication to promote the notion that "the search party is over" for the Mountain View search giant.
Seven ways to avoid marketing meltdown
Whatever the size of your business, there are several pitfalls we all face when putting together a marketing strategy and sticking to it.
These include daily tasks, too much research to do, the temptation to head to the pub. All of these things regularly pop up and threaten to knock us off course. Here's seven simple steps that will help keep your marketing on track...
Search market report reveals increase in PPC and SEO spending
UK firms have been increasing their investment in paid search and SEO over the last 12 months, though lack of internal resources is the biggest problem affecting the success of search marketing.
These are some of the findings of the Econsultancy Search Engine Marketing Benchmark Report 2010, sponsored by Guava, which is based on a survey of more than 500 client-side digital marketers and agencies.
Optimising PPC for long-tail keywords
A common problem for running search campaigns in niche industries is the typical low volumes of data to optimise against.
However, it's not just restricted to areas such as B2B, but also applies to long-tail campaigns where some keywords might only get triggered a few times a day.
Landing pages: ten top tips
If you want to do online marketing well, you need to get the basics right, and few things are more important than writing effective landing pages.
UK political parties' PPC election strategy just doesn't exist
With the election in full flow two members of my team at Net Media Planet, John Hillman and Matthew Ncube, decided to monitor the main political parties' PPC activity.
Here's their take on where the three parties have all been going wrong.
Q&A: Chicago Steak's Matt Crowley on maximizing search keywords
Chicago Steak Company had a problem that many online retailers share. The steak and seafood seller offers high quality products at impressive price points. But if you haven't noticed, a lot of companies sell steak online. Looking to drive traffic toits web site, increase visitors and reduce the cost of customer acquisition, Chicago Steak found its single Google AdWords campaign lacking.
The brand needed help both identifying and managing larger amounts of keywords. Finally last year, it started working with a third party to help make its search strategy more granular. The result? Lower costs per acquisition, boosted traffic to the company website and increased conversions. I spoke with Matt Crowley, the company's vice president, to find out how they did it.
Avinash Kaushik: When you're buying keywords, don't forget the long tail
Attendees at marketing conferences are often looking for concrete advice, and this morning at Search Engine Strategies New York, they got some.
Google's analytics evangelist Avinash Kaushik had some clear tips for PPC purchases: go after the long tail.
PPC health-check through long-tail analysis
We have all heard about the long-tail of search marketing. And odds are that even if you have not intentionally implemented such a strategy, you are to some extent utilising broad or phrase match keywords, thus capturing a long tail of varyingly relevant searches.
Long-tail keywords are phrases that are not often searched for individually, but in aggregate can create a sizeable opportunity. And with increased user sophistication and complexity of queries, the opportunity grows larger.
How to control SEO spending post-recession
Remember back when the credit crunch was new? Every other blog post, including a fair few of mine, urged firms not to lose faith in online marketing, not to hack at their search engine marketing (SEM) budgets or lay off members of their online PR team.
I still think it's important to hold marketing nerve. If you are to grow your business then a successful marketing strategy is essential and budget cuts are not going to help.
However, as the country shudders its way out of a historic recession, achieving an estimated 0.1% of growth in the last three months of 2009, it's time to face facts. Your money need to work harder.

Get the full scoop on the latest iteration of the 670 hp Lumma CLR X 650 M, inside.
Engineers in Winterlingen, Germany, have finished a slightly revised design on the Lumma Design CLR X 650 M, based on the BMW X6. Looking truly inspired by some 1980s-era Rieger widebody tuning jobs, the SUV has a sort of ugly/cool quality.
The latest model features a three-percent increase in power, raising output of the engine to 670 horsepower (493 kW). Torque, which had been expected to max out at around 830 Nm, will instead peak at 850 Nm. This represents over a 20 percent boost in horsepower, and a 25 percent improvement in torque when compared to the standard BMW X6 M.
The improvement over the previous Lumma CLR X 650 M package is due to a new high-performance exhaust system that is finished with quad tailpipes. The crossover is now capable of reaching speeds of 194 mph (312 km/h).
Exterior modifications to the vehicle include a redesigned rear skirt and wing, along with the already-available three-section front spoiler with daytime LED runners, flared fenders, and revised sidesills. A new carbon and Kevlar hood is also attached. Meanwhile, the model was dropped by 45 mm via lowering springs. Racing IV alloy wheels were then added. The 9.5x20-inch units are wrapped in performance tires. Interior mods include quilted leather upholstery, carbon trim, and aluminum pedals.

Monday, January 21, 2013
I've previously extolled the virtues of skirts and dresses for cold weather, and I stand by it all 100% - for weeks now I've been rotating various wool pencil skirts, my two vintage quilted skirts and my me-made London Calling circle skirt. A full skirt with insulating layers of petticoat underneath is excellent protection against the chill - add a pair of knee-high socks and I'm cosy-warm for a stroll in the snow.
I love the pink, grey and navy tones in this circle skirt, and I picked them up through the rest of the outfit. For a different way with a beret, I styled the front of my hair and wore the beret over the rest like a snood.
(secret tip: the lucite brooch and a few strategically placed safety pins kept the scarf draped 'casually' in place)
Outfit details: Nylon & angora sweater, ebay (99p!); 50s circle skirt, etsy; Gloves and angora-mix beret, Tesco; Bracelets, Primark; Scarf, Christmas present a few years ago; Belt, purchased in Thailand; Argyle socks, Topshop (circa 2004!); Shoes, New Look via a charity shop; Handbag, can't remember; Earrings, made by me from vintage buttons; Lucite brooch, ebay.
Although we live in London (we've got a proper London postcode and everything!), there's a surprisingly country village feel to this area. We're literally yards from the Grand Union canal, and just on the other side of this lies a large meadow which is a lovely place for a stroll. This is how we cross the canal - I'm sure you can just picture me in my heels, edging across that narrow, snow-covered lock gate, inches from the icy water, clutching my handbag in one hand and camera in the other!
But, on the other side...

I am also one who wears skirts tights and petticoats in winter....and when it snows extra pair of socks over the top of my tights. lol! I've just been sewing myself a new petticoat and started on a new winter skirt (gored rather than circle in red tartan). Love the jumper....need another one myself.
ReplyDeleteWe have also had snow since one week now and we will probably have white landscapes for at least one or two weeks more because they announce freezing temperatures...
I also love to wear skirt in winter (and all year long), if you have wool stockings and good boots, it's even more practical than pants!
I love your outfit!Charlotte, you look enchanting. I love circle skirts but have not figured out how to wear a velvety one for an evening event. Do you have any suggestions? It's a charity ball and everyone will be looking glam; I'm going to try vintage for a change of pace. Thanks in advance for your help and any corresponding links!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see you're having so much fun. This outfit looks lovely on you, with the white colors.... and might I say you have a banging body milady!
ReplyDeleteYou look truly amazing and I'm totally girl crushing haha. I need to get some more skirts. And definatly dig out the old sewing machine. But fabric us expensive do you have any places you get yours from
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely gorgeous. My husband wandered past as I was looking at the photos and said, 'Gosh, she's pretty. Who is she and what's that you're looking at?' So there you go!
Do you mind telling me what kind of shape wear...I assume you wear some...you use? Sorry, that sounds a bit nosey and cheeky, don't mean to be. It's just that I'm on the hunt for some new stuff myself but it's proving difficult to find anything that suits me so far. Damned bust of mine, sigh, always been top heavy. But I do have a small waist. Doesn't help that I live miles away from anywhere for trying things on and the likes of M & S are no good. And that and Debs are all that's in nearest town to me.RepliesI don't normally wear shapewear, although I'd love to say I wore a proper vintage girdle every day! I sometimes wear a firm control high-waisted panty-girdle thing from M&S with a zipped front panel for extra squeeze (I bought it years ago and they don't seem to have anything like it any more), which helps to give a smooth outline (especially under sweaters, which can tend to bunch - I think I was wearing it in my recent ice skating photos). Very occasionally I'll wear my What Katie Did underbust corset, usually laced fairly loosely for ease of movement - I like that it gives a more exaggerated curve in at the sides, even gently laced.
My sponsor Pin-Up Parade stocks vintage-style Rago shapwear - have you had a look at that?
xx CharlotteHi, thank you. I ought to have been clearer, I wasn't assuming you were in it all the time, just that you'd probably have something for those as and when moments. Most days I wouldn't bother, but some things look better with it....or when I feel lumpy!
oooooh--if I looked that fabulous dressed for snow, I'd never gripe about the white stuff ever again. I might possibly, maybe, perhaps even leave the house. :D Seriously, you look completely adorable! This reminds me of those photo spreads of up-and-coming starlets that the studios would produce for magazines like Look or Photoplay. Well done, Charlotte!
ReplyDeleteOh my stars, the cuteness factor here is off the charts! Seriously, you're melting my heart faster if you'd dropped hot coals into that fluffy white snow. I adore (!!! - three big exclamation marks there as well) this outfit so, sooooooo much!
♥ JessicaYou have a lot great looks and I'm mostly in love of the Women s cardigan sweater!
ReplyDelete- AnonymousMay 18, 2013 at 1:38 AM
I Have a sweater just like that!
It's so lush to wear, so soft on the skin and warm. you don't even need a coat in the winter and thin enough I can wear it on cooler summer days!
Love the feel of angora :)

Product Market Regulation, Firm Size, Unemployment and Informality in Developing Economies
This paper studies the impact of product and labor market regulations on the number and size of firms in the formal and informal sectors, as well as on relative wages, relative size of the two sectors and overall unemployment. We show that entry costs in the formal sector tend to make informal firms smaller and more numerous than informal firms, i.e., such costs render the informal sector relatively more competitive. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce informality without increasing unemployment or reducing workers' wage by reducing entry costs in the formal sector rather than reducing labor market regulations. We also highlight a number of externalities stemming from labor and product market imperfections, allowing the size of those distortions to differ across sectors. We show that, while the so-called overhiring externality takes place in both sectors, this translates into a smaller relative size of the informal sector.

Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft is one of the most popular MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game) of our time. This well-crafted game currently has 11.5 million monthly subscribers, making it the most-subscribed MMORPG in the world. Blizzard Entertainment intentionally and continuously develop this game to be more addicting to play like adding time-consuming tasks common throughout the game. Wow has a great story background. It was created from the previous installments of Warcarft I, II, and III. Fundamentally, it is the outcome of the great wars and the bloody rivalry between the horde and the alliance. Orcs, Trolls, Tuaren, and Undead are part of the Horde while Humans, Gnomes, Dwarfs, and Night-Elves are part of the alliance. I collected the best Warcraft wallpapers I can find online.

BAC Agility Projects presents:
Quiet Please: The Mental Game of Art and Tennis
July 30 – August 28, 2016
As part of The Agility Projects series, Berkeley Art Center is proud to present Quiet Please, an exhibition that examines the call and response relationship between artist and viewer using the sport of tennis as a metaphor to this exchange. Artists Libby Black, Jennie Ottinger, George Pfau, and Andrew Witrak present drawings, sculpture and animation that use tennis as a way to comment on human psychology: presentation, elitism, communication, and catharsis.
Like many sports, there are myriad rules and customs that apply to the game of tennis. A distinct quality of match play is the on-court etiquette and ritual—a play of manners and class (or lack thereof). And like the artistic process, there is an opportunity to come from one point away from defeat, to win the match. The aim of good tennis playing is to get out of your head, and trust your body and strokes—to achieve a sort of Zen looseness. On the other hand, as in creating a body of work in the art studio, one can be plagued by self-doubt, second-guessing, and the sometimes complete derailment of one's game.
The history of the sport is significant in that, although it is possible to be played on public courts, it has an elitist reputation. Dating back to the 1860s tennis is an international sport that conjures up snotty clubs and white sweaters. There are comparisons to be drawn between the impenetrable art markets and country club memberships where tennis is often played.

Economic Populist: CBO, on the public dime, peddles BS to the public. Burning the Midnight Oil for Economic Populism Yves Smith at the excellent and insightful Naked Capitalism has recently been taking at a close look at the role of the Congressional Budget Office, the vaunted "CBO", in the "fiscal cliff" scam that the corporate aristocracy is attempting to perpetrate on us mere commoners.Topic: Economy 3 Read more about Economic Populist: CBO, on the public dime, peddles BS to the public.BruceMcF's blog3 commentsLog in to post comments
Warning: Swallowing the President's Bitter Pills May Cause Harsh Austerity We are being told that the mess this President caused when he helped pass the Bush tax cuts in exchange for 1 year of unemployment insurance - which was unnecessary because Republicans caved on UE extension before - WITHOUT even securing a rise in the debt ceiling by putting his full trust in John Boehner with the full faith and credit of the US was "worth it." This of course gave Boehner immense political power and the right hostage needed to cause the debt ceiling debacle just like I predicted. Well here are are again dealing with the fallout. Already? Obama Tells Supporters to Expect 'Bitter Pills' As the Huffington Post, who listened in on the call, reports: The president, speaking from a White House phone, cautioned listeners to expect disappointments during his second term. As he has in the past, Obama warned that he was prepared to swallow some bitter pills during the negotiations, including some that would agitate the base. "As we move forward there are going to be new wrinkles and new frustrations, we can't predict them yet," he said. "We are going to have some triumphs and some successes, but there are going to be some tough days, starting with some of these negotiations around the fiscal cliff that you probably read about." Though his encouragement to his activist base may be encouraging to some, the President's preemptive admission that he's willing to give away bargaining chips so early in the game will surely irk those who criticized Obama for his negotiating style throughout his first term. That will be doubly true for progressives who have publicly called for a more hardline stance when it comes to defending key social programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. We know from the president's interview with the Des Moines register that much of what was in the memo revealed by Bob Woodward as part and parcel of all of this nonsense we shouldn't even have to be dealing with in the first place is a starting point. Oh yes, many will screech about how Simpson Bowles is dead because the commission was a failure, but the horrible ideas live on through our elected leaders that keeps bringing them back to life. Obama vows debt-cutting 'grand bargain,' immigration reform in Des Moines Register interview "I am absolutely confident that we can get what is the equivalent of the grand bargain that essentially I've been offering to the Republicans for a very long time, which is $2.50 worth of cuts for every dollar in spending, and work to reduce the costs of our health care programs," Obama said. (The White House quickly clarified that he meant $2.50 of spending cuts for every dollar in new tax revenue.) "We can easily meet—'easily' is the wrong word—we can credibly meet the target that the Bowles-Simpson Commission established of $4 trillion in deficit reduction, and even more in the out-years ... This is not going to help the unemployed and it's economic illiteracy. When you hear things like, "We all agree we must pay down the deficit," it might as well be, "We all agree on economic illiteracy. Come on. Everybody's doing it." Anyone who is still making excuses for this doesn't even understand why this fake fiscal cliff, really an austerity bomb as Brian Beutler of TPM puts it, is coming back up in the first place. "The past isn't dead. It isn't even past." – William Faulkner This is quite literally true so for all those "that was then this is now" excuse makers, you have a lot of studying and reading to do.

Economic Populist: Capping Bush Tax Cuts fixes over half of fiscal problem Burning the Midnight Oil for Economic Populism Among the many things entirely lost in the mainstream media coverage of the "fiscal cliff" are the nature and magnitude of the country's fiscal challenge. The magnitude is why it is not a crisis, and the nature is why we would be better off "just doing nothing" ~ letting the whole Bush tax cuts expire and scrapping the zombie spending cuts ~ is better than the vast majority of "fixes" floating around in the mainstream media.

There's also an empty microSD card slot, which allows you to add up to 32GB of additional memory. The phone is running Android 2.3.7 (Gingerbread), and Sony has pledged to upgrade its devices to Ice Cream Sandwich. It felt super swift and responsive as we swiped between home screens and loaded apps.

A Standby time specification is an industry standard. The only intention is to allow comparison of different mobile phones under the same circumstances. Factors including - but not limited to - network, settings, location, movement, signal strength and cell traffic strongly effect standby power consumption. Therefore, Standby time specification comparisons of different mobile phones can only be done in a controlled laboratory environment. When using any mobile phone in real life - ie, under circumstances for which the mobile phone is intended - the actual standby time could be considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on factors as mentioned above. | |||

Political Roundtable: Elorza On Providence Finances & The Overtime Dispute With Firefighters By Ian Donnis • Jan 1, 2016 Ian Donnis / RIPR Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza is our guest for the first Political Roundtable of 2016. We discuss concerns on Providence finances and the city's ongoing dispute with the firefighters' union. After A Decade Of Planning, A Home For A Providence Food Co-op By John Bender • Dec 28, 2015 John Bender / RIPR Listen Listening... / 3:07 A recent AP investigation found major grocery store chains across the country fail to provide food for areas that need it most. In Rhode Island some fifty-thousand people don't have easy access to healthy foods, and most of them are in Providence county. A small group of locals have been trying to open a grocery store on their own, but it's taken a decade to get the project off the ground. A Warm Christmas Expected, In Already Record-Breaking Winter By John Bender • Dec 24, 2015 RIPR If you've stepped outside at all this month, you already know the weather has been far from frightful. Forecasters are predicting a record-breaking Christmas, and the city's warmest December. In Providence, Christmas set a record last year at 63 degrees. Meteorologists believe we'll approach that record this year, and maybe even beat it. Overall this is shaping up to be the warmest December on record in Providence, with an average temperature of 43 degrees. Three School Districts Chosen For New Effort To Grow STEM Sector By Chuck Hinman • Dec 23, 2015 taylor.a/creative commons license Three Rhode Island school districts have been chosen for a new state initiative aimed at preparing students for jobs in high tech industries.

Arbitration To Begin In Ongoing Battle Between Providence Firefighters And The City By John Bender • Dec 16, 2015 Arbitration is set to begin Wednesday between Providence and its firefighters, as the two sides wage a legal battle over work schedules. This spring, Mayor Jorge Elorza announced a new staffing protocol to reduce the costs of overtime payments. City firefighters criticized the move, saying the change should be made through collective bargaining. Last week the state Supreme Court denied an appeal by the city to delay the arbitration, but the mayor's office says it is ready to use the process to enforce its right to restructure the fire department. Breaking Record High Temperatures, A White Christmas Unlikely In Providence By John Bender & Katherine Doherty • Dec 15, 2015 RIPR FILE High temperatures in Providence broke several records over the last two days, and meteorologists say White Christmas is exceedingly unlikely. Around 11 p.m. Monday night, the mercury hit 61 degrees to beat out a record for that date of 59 degrees set in 1991. Just a few hours later, at 4 a.m. Tuesday morning, temperatures climbed even higher, reaching 64 degrees. That was two degrees warmer than the record. It was even warmer than the same early morning hour this past July 4th. New Language Immersion Programs For Providence Students By Elisabeth Harrison • Dec 11, 2015 Elisabeth Harrison / RIPR Language immersion programs known as "dual language" programs are a growing trend in public elementary schools. They allow students to become bilingual in English and another language, like Spanish. Providence school officials have just announced a plan to offer new dual language programs in Spanish and possibly Mandarin at Carl Lauro Elementary School. The programs would begin with two Kindergarten classrooms in each language, then add a grade every year until fifth grade. James DeWolf Perry Named Director of Episcopal Cathedral Slavery Reconciliation Initiative By Scott MacKay • Nov 24, 2015 James DeWolf Perry has been named executive director of the Center for Reconciliation, the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island's initiative to locate a slavery museum and inter-racial reconciliation center at the former Cathedral of St. John in Providence. Downtown Hotel Project Gets Initial Approval From Providence Finance Committee By John Bender & Ian Donnis • Nov 18, 2015 James Baumgartner / RIPR The Providence City Council finance committee voted to approve a proposed downtown hotel Tuesday night. The project was proposed earlier this year, but movement on the issue was slow. A local developer wants to build a nine-story hotel on the site of a now-vacant government building. The project was proposed this summer, but the city's finance committee did not vote on it for several months. Local construction workers felt opposition by a hotel workers union seemed to be stalling the project. After Two Decades In Operation, Latino Theater Group Celebrates Opening Of Permanent Home By John Bender • Nov 13, 2015 One of Rhode Island's only Spanish-language theater companies is getting its own home. The ECAS Theatre in Providence has been operating for nearly two decades. (ECAS stands for Educational Center for the Arts and Sciences.) ECAS began in 1997, producing plays in both English and Spanish. Up to now, the group has rented space, but organizers have found a permanent home in Providence's South Side. The group mainly stages plays from Hispanic countries. Artistic Director Francis Parra said they provide a glimpse into the national cultures of many Rhode Island residents. Providence Mayor Launches Council To Tackle Gun Violence By John Bender • Nov 3, 2015 John Bender / RIPR Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza has launched an advisory council to focus on gun violence. The 11-member group will meet at least four times a year, and deliver annual recommendations to the city.

About Me Tea drinker
My husband has been drinking a lot of coffee lately and finds many to be bitter and acid. He likes the iced coffees at the Coffee Bean over all other coffee companies so I decided to check out your web sight and gave Cafe 63 light roast a try. My husband loves it and many times will make iced coffee himself. Now he has asked if this comes in decaf?

About Me Chef, Health Conscious, Simple Tastes
I was very happy with the Caf63 and found it to be a great coffee for any time during the day! I have always preferred a bolder coffee, but found the Caf63 to be very enjoyable, good flavor and a good tasting coffee!
Smooth Classic Flavor
I purchased these in antipation of receiving my new Keurig coffee maker. I brewed a cup and was pleasantly surprised by the smooth flavor without the bitter aftertaste Starbucks drinkers might be used to. It was so enjoyable I had a second cup right away. I would recommend this to people who aren't into a heavy bitter aftertaste.
