Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., the Republican vice presidential candidate, and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., share a laugh with waitress Lourdes Alcerro during a campaign stop Saturday at Versailles restaurant in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami.
MIAMI -- Paul Ryan made a direct appeal to the large Hispanic population in south Florida on Saturday morning as he spoke inside the popular Versailles Restaurant with several prominent Florida politicians.
"I learned from these friends, from Mario, from Lincoln, from Ileana, just how brutal the Castro regime is, just how this president's policy of appeasement is not working," Ryan said standing next to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and the chairwoman of the House Foreign Relations Committee, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla.
Ryan vowed to the crowd, which sang "God Bless America" upon the congressman's arrival: "In a Mitt Romney administration, we will not keep practicing this policy of appeasement; we will be tough on this brutal dictator; all it has done is rewarded more despotism … we will help those pro-democracy groups. We will be tough on Castro, tough on Chavez. And it's because we know that's the right policy for our country."
These words mark Ryan's first comments on how a President Romney would handle relations with Cuba.
Several dozen turned out to see the Republican vice presidential nominee on a rainy morning in Miami and Ryan was sure to give a shout-out to the popular Republican leaders from the area, including Sen. Marco Rubio, and two brothers who spoke to the crowd ahead of Ryan, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart and former Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart.
Bush, introducing Ryan, helped the Wisconsin native learn a little Spanish.
"I need to teach Paul one word in Spanish," the brother of former President George W. Bush and son of former President George H. W. Bush said. "Here we call this 'una aguacera.' This was just a little tropical rainstorm."
Romney's youngest son, Craig, was also on hand and addressed the crowd in Spanish as many of the other politicians did as well.
Ryan began his visit to the famous Cuban establishment by enjoying a cup of Café Colatta with the former governor and Rep. Ros-Lehtinen but wasted no time attacking President Barack Obama during his speech to Floridians.
"Just a couple days ago on Univision, President Obama admitted that he can't change Washington from the inside. Why do we send presidents to the White House in the first place?" he asked. "I mean, we send presidents to change and fix the mess in Washington. And if this president has admitted that he can't change Washington, then you know what, we need to change presidents."
Ryan mingled his way thru the packed restaurant after his brief remarks and even insisted on giving the woman running against Democratic National Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz a hug.
Saturday's appearance in the Sunshine State marked Ryan's sixth public event as the Romney-Ryan ticket tries to win the state's 29 electoral votes in November.
Bush made a bold prediction about his state as he spoke to reporters following the event: "Romney is going to carry Florida."

Zach Braff related to Mitt Romney by dead witch
Actor ZACH BRAFF has learned he's related to former U.S. presidential candidate MITT ROMNEY - through a 17th century witch.
The Garden State star was alerted to the bizarre find by fans on Twitter.com, but he admits it took a little while before he accepted that the rumour could very well be true, thanks to his mother Anne Hutchinson Maynard's ancestry.
During an appearance on U.S. talk show Rove LA on Saturday (08Dec12), he said, "It's very bizarre because believe it or not, I thought it was another prank on the Internet because I've been killed off on the Internet, I came out of the closet on the Internet, a lot of things have happened to me on the web and I start getting wind that I was related to Mitt Romney through a witch!
"That sounds like a joke, but this genealogist, who I guess has way too much time on his hands, went and tracked my mother's maiden name and figured out she grew up in Rhode Island and discovered that Mitt Romney and I are related through the very last woman who was killed through the Salem witch trials. And I thought it was like, a tabloid thing, (but) it was a reputable genealogy journal, so yeah, Mitt and I are related through a witch!"
Braff isn't the only celebrity to share a familial link to a Republican politician - Halle Berry was recently revealed to be a distant relative of former U.S. Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who ran for office in 2008 against Democrat Barack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden.
Researching celebrity family trees has grown in popularity in recent years following the success of TV genealogy shows like Who Do You Think You Are?, which has allowed stars including actors Martin Sheen, Rita Wilson, Rob Lowe and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling to explore their roots.

Higher Education in Italy
Article 34 of the Constitution of Italy guarantees an individual's right to pursue a higher education with a university or college. The Italian university system is highly specialized and very competitive. They have 42 state universities, six private universities, three technical schools, and twelve specialized universities.
Why Study in Italy?
A course of study in Italy would enrich someone with their unique atmosphere and access to many of the finer things of life, including art, music, wine-making and many others. With their highly specialized course areas geared toward a specific field, you are bound to get the educational background you need to carry your career goals a step further.
Colleges and Universities
Colleges and universities in Italy are influenced heavily by the arts and humanities culture. There is the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, Cesare Pollini Conservatory of Music, and the Polytechnic University of Bari, which is focused more on technology and technical engineering skills. There are many more to choose from with a variety of course offerings in various fields.
Academic Year
The first semester typically starts in September/October and ends in Jan/Feb. The second term usually begins in February or January and goes through May or early June.
Tuition Fees and Length of Study
Tuition and fees vary depending upon the school you are attending. But you will find an affordable solution to meet your needs with so many schools to choose from. In general most courses cost €850 - €1,000 per year.
Bachelor degrees take around four years to complete, including the basic course requirements and extra curriculum requirements to complete the degree. The degrees are highly specialized and the courses prepare one well for their chosen field.
International Students
There are many opportunities for international students to study in Italy. Students from abroad are welcome to explore the possibilities and see what would be to their liking. There are also student exchange programs, whereby international students may study under an exchange agreement, under the authorization of the European Community Socrates Erasmus programme. Other students may attend under the authorization of a bilateral agreement between an Italian university and a host school.
One of the key differences between studying in Italy and other countries is that most exams are oral.
There are many career and research opportunities available, upon completion of a degree from an Italian university. Law students may go on to pursue a career in a legal institution or practice as a lawyer. People in the humanities and arts may use their talents in many areas, including many of the artistic productions so prevalent in Italy. Depending upon the specific area of study and the need, students who graduate from an Italian school will be ready to meet the demands of a changing society.
Student Visas
Students from abroad are welcome to come to Italy to study, but they are required to carry a student visa or passport and all the required documentation. In addition, the documentation may be required to be registered at the local police station. The most important thing about visas is to make sure you have the right type. Before entering your chosen school, check on the school's website for more information about which type you need. Registration can be made at the nearest Italian embassy or consulate.
Useful Tips
Italy is a beautiful country which holds many wonderful and unique artistic finds. Education in Italy is unique and very focused. Visas are required but are fairly easy to obtain. People in Italy are very family-oriented and artistic-minded. Getting an education in Italy goes beyond the walls of the classroom and into the artistic world of the arts and culture. Studying in Italy is an experience you will never forget.

Playing the Stingrays for the third game in a row, the Everblades scored twice in the third period and once in overtime to take Game 3 of their mini-series. The overtime winner came from former Montreal Canadiens first rounder David Fischer. Lightning prospect Alex Hutchings had the primary assist. The Everblades tied the game with about a minute left in regulation. Florida has two wins over South Carolina in the last week. Hutchings was playing his first game at home since November and has at least a point in all four games since returning from a serious upper-body injury. He is now back to a point-per-game pace. Pat Nagle got his first start in six days and earned his first win since he beat Chicago on January 11.

Coconut oil benefits going mainstream, part 2 of 2
Dr. Newport talked to Dr. Richard Veech at National Institute of Health and studied everything she could find on coconut oil, fatty acids, human breast milk, and various disease states. She is an M.D. who clearly places a lot of faith, as all M.D.'s have been schooled to do, in the past century's protocols of drugs to cure illness. But she says this after her self-directed studying and experimenting with her husband's diet:
"I wonder about autism and whether something very important is missing in infant formulas and in the diets of women who are breastfeeding."
After the 1950's, we abandoned the use of coconut oil that was a staple until studies of PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED coconut oils were shown to be detrimental. (There's a big difference between that and the cold-pressed, organic oil I'm recommending! Hydrogenated oils aren't real food, as they've been heated to high temps and molecularly altered; they are highly damaging to our health.) Then coconut oil was completely bumped from the American lifestyle for 40 years until just recently. I wonder, to what effect? Only time will tell, but back then, we had radically lower rates of heart disease, cancer, and other inflammatory conditions.
Karen W. and her family, for GreenSmoothieGirl Makeover, have been so ill that while the Cornia family and Total Care Dental are off and running, we haven't been able to get them started. We had an interview on camera where Karen lamented that her closest friends are marathon runners and she wants to be outside running with them instead of lying in bed. She said she's come to hate the tree outside her bedroom window because she marks time by it, because it's her only connection to outdoors. Leaves on, leaves off, winter, spring, summer, fall. Karen's story is killing me!
I am going to give her a gallon of coconut oil and have her, like Dr. Newport's husband, start using a couple of tablespoons of it daily. We'll see if it makes a difference for her, with multiple sclerosis symptoms. What do you have to lose? It's just real food!
(Side note: Karen and her family were at my class at Good Earth last night. She said she told her doctor that she was about to start following the GreenSmoothieGirl program, and her doc said that another of his patients was doing so and was completely off his cholesterol meds. Cool!)
Spread coconut oil on toast like butter. Sautee in it. (It creates no trans-fats, even at high temps!) Use it in cookies or other baked goods. Dr. Newport put 7 tsp. daily in her husband's morning oatmeal. Slather it on your lips. Slather it on your significant other's lips and kiss it off. Use it as a facial moisturizer, or on your hands/arms/legs.
You can also use coconut milk, which you can get at health food stores or Asian markets–it's a combo of coconut oil and coconut liquid.
(Can you tell I'm madly in love with coconut oil? I don't know that I'd call its taste "haunting" like the rather dramatic New York Times writer, but I love the health benefits!)

GSG… I'm wearing it as a nightly moisturizer Right now! I love coconut oil! I live in the Usvi's (www.friendscharters.com) and I buy coconut oil from the locals… Actually watched them make it one day! I love it!!! I feel so good consuming it everyday now and not to mention my skin is glowing healthy! Thanks!

What diameter roll pin for CZ Kadet Barrel?
Bagged my gun after some league shooting with the Kadet Kit on SP-01 Tactical. Two days later pulled it out to clean it and found the barrel had walked backwards and it looked as though the roll pin that holds the barrel in place had fallen out. Further investigation found the roll pin to have broken into three pieces, with the center piece still in the barrel lug.
I called CZUSA, and they are sending out a new pin (they told me I'll need to cut it to length), and that it would be here for this Monday's league night, but it hasn't arrived yet. So, I have been googling the crap out of this, and found a post where the poster had picked up an 1/8" pin at home depot, and used that. Well, I picked a couple up, and they are too big. I'm thinking the original pin is probably metric, and I will try to find one in the morning. It would be great if I knew what the diameter of that pin is supposed to be.
Got clues?

Alcoa (NYSE:AA) kicks off earnings season next week, giving Wall Street the opportunity to stop obsessing about when the Federal Reserve might exit its vast bond-buying program.
Continue Reading Below
Global trading desks spent weeks parsing every headline providing even the subtlest hint on exactly when the Fed will slow its asset purchases from the current rate of $85 billion a month. While market participants generally expect the central bank's moves to be a major theme in coming weeks, the beginning of second-quarter earnings season will provide at least a temporary reprieve.
Analysts said companies are likely to continue shedding expenses and leaning their operations in order to squeeze every bit of profit out of slowly-growing sales. Barclays reckons S&P 500 earnings will grow at 3.5% in the second quarter from the same three months in 2012, while revenues increase a stodgier 1.9%.
Barry Knapp, the British investment bank's head of equities strategy, also warned in a note to clients this week "in each of the last two years, July has marked the start of a significant period of tempering in full year estimates."
Alcoa, the embattled aluminum maker, unveils its quarterly figures after Monday's closing bell. Discount retailer Family Dollar Stores (NYSE:FDO) is set to reveal its results before the market opens on Wednesday, and Taco Bell parent Yum Brands (NYSE:YUM) posts after the close of trading that day.
Banking behemoths J.P. Morgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) step up to bat ahead of the bell Friday. Financial sector earnings are under intense scrutiny as banks deal with a slew of new regulations and a market that changed dramatically in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.
While earnings are expected to steal the spotlight, the week wouldn't be complete without news from the Fed. Minutes from the central bank's June meeting come out on Wednesday. Traders will be searching for any details on what thresholds the Fed will use in determining when to hike rates and taper QE. Chairman Ben Bernanke also speaks that afternoon on the history of monetary policy. Three regional Fed chiefs are also set to make public appearances on Friday, according to Bloomberg News.
Major economic data releases due out over the course of the week focus mostly on June inflation. The price level, and expectations for future changes in prices, are a statistic the Fed watches closely in setting its monetary policy. For the most part, economists are in agreement inflation is in check, but with the Fed's aggressive easing, upside or downside surprises could drive markets higher or lower.
A reading on import and export prices from the Labor Department is slated for Thursday. A gauge of wholesale-level prices, also from Labor, comes out the following day. The more closely-watched report on consumer prices is on deck for the following week.
Rounding out the economic data is a preliminary reading on consumer sentiment for the month of July from Reuters and the University of Michigan.
Traders are also likely to keep an eye on the situation in the Middle East. U.S. crude oil prices rallied this week above the $100 a barrel mark amid supply concerns sparked by tumult in Egypt and speculation strength in the American economy will drive demand higher. A big selloff in the metals and Treasury bond markets is also likely to capture the Street's attention.

Miami Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall's Returns Early and Other Notes
Well I have news for you guys, neither do the Dolphins.
Marshall was reportedly practicing in the OTA's doing positional drills. That is great because Marshall is ahead of schedule and should be working with Miami Dolphins QB Chad Henne very soon.
Now, nobody has to worry about Brandon Marshall's status anymore. We know he will be fine, and hopefully he will be able to put up another 100+ receptions this year.
Also, Brandon Marshall has apparently decided on keeping the number 19, so don't sweat it Dolphins fans. Him having the same number as Ted Ginn Jr. is actually a good thing because Ginn used up all of the bad luck and terrible catching in the number. Now, all Marshall will have to do is put the number and he will be sure to have great luck and be able to catch everything.
But seriously, I know that people say it is silly to worry about numbers, and I partially agree. But, anyone who has ever played competitively in any sport for a number of years can understand the importance of having a certain number. You just feel more comfortable in it. I know it is weird, but that is just how it works for some people. Marshall getting a number that he can be comfortable with is more important than you may think. Not super-important, just more than you may think.
That's all for now. Stay tuned for more posts on the greatest team in football.

As long as Brandon Marshall can play like I know he can, and he can stay happy playing for the Dolphins. This will be a great addition to the team.ReplyDelete
If he begins to act up as he did in Denver, I'll be happy to treat him as the fans in Denver did. That's just the way it goes. I don't give a rats azz about any of the players on the team.
They get payed WELL to play a game on our money. The only thing I ask of them is to do their jobs, buy into the program, and act like they're a member of the human race. Do that and he has my support.
Honestly, as long as he doesn't commit a serious crime I don't care too much about what he does as long as he helps us win games.ReplyDelete
I'm with you on that, but if that's all a player is, a body on the field then that's how I will view them. Don't expect me to get behind them when it comes to a new contract or contract disputes.ReplyDelete
For instance I feel I can back Ronnie Brown with little problem, but I wanted JT out of here. Not because JT couldn't play, Lord no it wasn't that. It was because he was only interested in how JT looked to the media. When it was said and done JT in the past 6 or 7 years was all about himself. Once JJ and Wanny left JT turned into a self centered fool. I can't stand people like that.
What made JT self-centered?ReplyDelete
That's a great question. I'm not quite sure to be honest. To me it just seemed that he didn't care about the team it was all about him. When he talked about the team he always said we. He never owned the me part, nor did he discourage the media for asking the questions about his game when the team lost.ReplyDelete
If the media asked about a great day he may have had. I don't recall him passing the credit around to the players around him, He dove right into the I mode. such as, I saw the ball on the ground scoped it up and ran, or the I saw the QB looking my way and I was able to pick him off. He never seemed to acknowledge how the ball got on the ground, or why the QB threw the ball in his direction. Something tells me someone else caused the fumble or a bad throw, but I can't recall him saying much about how he wound up with the ball and who caused the problems.
Then the Cameron fiasco came about and he never backed him up. When the Dolphins brought in the trifecta, he went off dancing.
It didn't really matter what I thought the trifecta knew what he was, and they shipped him to the Skins. I think although I'm not sure he could have nixed that trade according to the CBA, but he didn't do that. Which meant he was fine with the deal. Lately he goes to the Jets, a team he said he would never go to.
Why does everyone else have so much trouble seeing him for what he really is ? A great player but most certainly not a team player.
That's an interesting point. I haven't really seen much of his interviews, so I haven't payed attention to it much.ReplyDelete

Engage to Change – Montenegro on TwitterNov 10, 2013
In the next 6 months Montenegro will have a collective "voice" on Twitter - representatives of the NGO Center for Democratic Transition (CDT) and the UNDP Montenegro announced as they launched the project "Montenegro on Twitter – Engage to Change!" aimed at strengthening citizens' engagement and civic activism through that social network.
Representatives of CDT and UNDP invited Montenegrin Twitter community and other interested citizens to follow @cgtvituje because, as of 15 November, interesting people and professionals from Montenegro will be tweeting from this account.
Over the next 24 weeks as many figures from the NGO sector, sports, arts and other fields will tweet about various subjects including those that were recognized in the global post-millennium (Post 2015) consultations in which 1.5 % of Montenegrin citizens were involved. Citizens are invited to engage in this dialogue and raise initiatives to address social problems.
With support of the project partners - "Robin Hood" TV show of the Public Broadcasting Service of Montenegro TVCG and online portal "Vijesti", the aim is that dialogue and the initiatives launched in the course of the project are given its shape outside Twitter, too.
From this month until May 2014, during the project "Montenegro on Twitter – Engage to Change", Twitter will be used to show a new face of Montenegro, as well as to empower civil activism and country promotion in the region by representing the universal values of the United Nations - professionalism, integrity, and respect for diversity.
On November 15th the twitter account was handed over to the first participant in the project - Ms. Biljana Gligorić, architect and Program Manager of the NGO Expeditio - Centre for Sustainable Spatial Development of Kotor. Ms. Gligorić has used "her" week to tweet on the use of public space. She will then hand the account over to the next participant in the project – one of 24 carefully selected professionals who are recognized as experts in their work.
At a media conference organized to launch the project "Montenegro on Twitter – Engage to Change!" Mr. Dragan Koprivica, CEO of CDT, said: "In the next six months, via @cgtvituje, we will try and introduce some other way of Montenegro's functioning to the broader public and Twitter users. Prominent experts from different fields will tweet about important issues in their lives and work. Project initiators want to put Twitter in the function of social benefits and development, where there will be more users and professionals who would promote civic responsibility and initiative which, as it is often said, our society lacks. This will help in making the voice of Montenegro be heard in the region."
Bearing in mind that social networks in the world are increasingly used for communication in crisis situations, but also to better connect citizens and institutions, there is a desire to expand the Twitter community in Montenegro which, according to unofficial information, has about 10,000 users.
Ms. Damira Kalač, journalist and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the "Vijesti" online portal, said: "Already about two years ago, when the Montenegrin Twitter community just came to life, although the number of users was much smaller than it is today, there was apparent willingness of people behind the twitter handle @cgtvituje to engage in a variety of specific actions. The winter before last, when a major storm hit Montenegro, an initiative started off from Twitter to collect food for the vulnerable in the affected part of the state. These days, the Red Cross independently implemented similar action in supermarkets in 10 Montenegrin cities. It is good to see that an internet initiative continued to live its own offline life."
The project "Montenegro on Twitter – Engage to Change!" has been inspired by the initiative "Curators of Sweden". In December 2011, Sweden became the first country in the world that has handed its official Twitter account over to citizens. Each week a new person tweets from @sweden sharing thus opinions, stories and information related to Sweden with followers. Currently, this account has about 67,000 followers.
"Our intention is to give an opportunity to the representatives of different social groups, professionals, successful people affirmed in their work to initiate dialogue and concrete initiatives, socially beneficial campaigns, and thus contribute to the strengthening of social activism and philanthropy. Some of those people are not on Twitter; therefore the project will be an opportunity for them to get acquainted with it and become active on that social network," said Ms. Sanja Bojanić, UNDP Montenegro Democratic Governance Cluster Leader.
"The moment the initiative is launched, CDT will continue, together with partners, to provide contacts with institutions and to offer other support to the extent possible. That is why the authors of the project deem important that the Montenegrin Twitter communities receive positive feedback, i.e. that Twitter users should be interactive and be the initiators of beneficial activities, as they are now," said Ms. Bojanić.

Some of the reasons why UNDP as an organization dedicated to sustainable human development supports this project
Practice has shown that social networks, including Twitter, can be successfully put in the function of development - early detection of problems, as a means of communication in crisis situations, as a tool that can simplify and facilitate the interaction of citizens with the institutions, but also as a generator and an accelerator of social initiatives and activism, i.e. connecting people to act together and solve social problems. The last mentioned - promoting Twitter for the purpose of strengthening the social activism and philanthropy is the focus of this project.
The project aims to promote the universal values of the United Nations and of any healthy society - professionalism, integrity and respect for diversity - and to facilitate continued dialogue on some of the issues identified in the process of post-millennium global consultations that have included about 1.5 % of the Montenegrin population.
The project should also contribute to maximizing Twitter community as a potential generator of constructive dialogue and initiatives in relation to socially important issues which should continue to promote the concept of civic responsibility and initiative even after completion of the project.
Currently, Twitter has 230 million users. More than 100 million are active daily users, and 5,700 tweets are being sent every second. Recent studies have shown that Twitter as a way of communication is becoming more popular than Facebook, and its further expansion is expected (For example, according to a research made by the "Piper Jaffray", American teenagers are increasingly selecting Twitter as a means of communication. It was found that 26 % of American teenagers believe that their most important network is Twitter, while 23 % chose Facebook). However, the project "Montenegro on Twitter – Enagage to Change!" will use other social networks, too. Also, due to the fact that Twitter is not available to all citizens, print media and television will be covered through partners Vijesti and Robin Hood as well, which will bring the project and its initiatives closer to the greatest possible number of citizens of Montenegro.

Hundreds of thousands of people who lost money through the alleged Ponzi scheme, Zeek Rewards, may soon be able to stake their claims.
Hundreds of thousands of people who lost money through the alleged Ponzi scheme, Zeek Rewards, may soon be able to stake their claims.
Case receiver Kenneth Bell said he intends to file a motion approving the claims process by the end of the first quarter of 2013, according to a final liquidation filed in federal court in Charlotte on Thursday.
Bell hopes to make a final distribution by the end of 2014, according to the filing.
It's estimated that about 840,000 users lost money through Zeek Rewards, one of the first penny auction-based companies to present profit sharing to its customers. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shut down the operation on Aug. 17, claiming the program raised more than $600 million from one million worldwide users through the offer and sale of unregistered securities.
Bell, a partner with McGuireWoods in Charlotte, has collected about $312 million to date, mostly from financial institutions and outstanding cashier's checks. The receivership team is also pursuing up to $7 million from e-wallets affiliates used to funnel money in and out of the program. The team is also seeking funds held in foreign accounts, including one account that holds, or held, about $12 million, according to the filing.
In addition, Bell is targeting about 80,000 Zeek Rewards users who profited from the program. He estimates that about $295.5 million could have been "fraudulently transferred" to the program's "net winners," who are subject to "claw back" litigation.
Bell said once the claims process is approved by a judge later this year, an online claims submission process should commence within 14 days. He said he will request that all claims be filed within 120 days of the order approving the process.
Once filed, the receivership team will review claims and compare them to Zeek records. Based on the review, the team will either approve or dispute a claim, according to the filing. If there is a dispute, the team will seek to resolve the conflict by engaging with the claimant in good faith.
Bell has said in recent months he doubts all affiliates will be repaid in full.
In the program, affiliates bought in with Zeek Rewards by purchasing one of three monthly subscription plans for $10, $50 or $99. That subscription provided them a "back office" and enabled them to purchase up to $10,000 in bids for the penny auction site, Zeekler.com, which was also administered by Rex Venture Group.
To earn a profit, affiliates were required to give their bids to new customers and post a daily advertisement for the site online. For purchasing a subscription, buying bids, giving them away and placing an ad, affiliates got to share in the daily profits from Zeekler.com through rewards called "profit points" — bonuses they could compile over time and eventually turn into cash.
Bell said affiliate claims should be based on the amount of cash the individual paid into the program, not the amount of profit points each retained, according to the filing.
According to a screenshot of a potential online claims process, claimants will use their Zeek Rewards login information to register with the system. Claimants will be able to select whether they are an affiliate, vendor, independent contractor, former employee or another subject who lost money. Then, they will make their detailed claim.

I just love all your overlays Marisa. Am wondering if you could make a text one that has kitchen (baking) type text on it? Maybe some vintage kitchen patterns?? That'd be so awesome. I'm having a hard time finding those.
Requested Overlays
I have a little mini tag kit that will be a freebie in the 30 Days of Christmas (on the 25th actually), so perhaps I could make a few papers to match and make it a full mini kit.
Are you on a time crunch? I will definitely put it on my to do, although I'm not sure when I'll get to it...
Oh i second that It's hard to find beautiful kitchen/baking kit... I always find them to be very much cupecakes or pie And since that's not as usual here in sweden as in the states i don't find them very useful
Here, here, Jessica! My daughter and I love baking cookies and apple-pies, but she dislikes cupcakes... so most of those adorable kitchen-kits aren't suited for our baking-adventures.
Yeah o would love a kit with stuff that everybody? use Like kitchen aids (i think it called)
Maybe we should have a kitchen-baking-no-cupcake blog train? I'm in!
Palette suggestions for a blog train?
LOL, sounds like a great idea Tina!
EDIT: I Haven´t seen Marisa´s post before answering! What about black-red-brown-green-gold-silver?
If you go for the suggested retro-vintage type kitchen kit I would include browns and oranges, maybe with some minty green... Those were the colors in my grandparents kitchen, so it must be retro
How about something like this? It's very vintage and a lot of different colors
I'm diggin' the retro '50s palette.
I love the middle vintage floral fabric palette you created Jessica!
Oh oh just to clarify i googled them So they are not mine But i like them all The one in the middle is a little favorite too
Just an FYI, I just saw this cute kit from Sahlin Studio with a retro kitchen feel: http://sahlinstudio.com/december-featured-kit-kitschy-kitchen/
My vote is on the flowery-one too! And I saw Sahlin Studio's kit; it's adorable...
edit: look what I just found!! Talk about your everyday kitchen appliances
@Melouise: THANKS!!! I love that black background with the utensils... and the stitching with the quilted looking-pieces of fabric is to die for. tfs!
@Marisa: Sahlin's little gingerbread cookie cutter is adorable!!!
I ran across a facebook fan who dropped by my page who had an adorable kit called 'Grandma's Cookbook' as her profile picture. Here's the link to where she got it.
Grandma's Cookbook
I always drool over Krista's stuff - she's good, that's for sure!
I've been planning on doing a kitchen kit for a while so I say let's do it! I agree with the others, the middle color palette is the best. Also I've Krista's kitchen kit for years and I use it for almost everything. I LOVE it!
I'm going to lock this thread. Any discussion about the Feb Blog Train can be done here: http://www.pixelscrapper.com/forums/digital-scrapbooking/digital-scrapbooking-discussion/february-blog-train-discussion

PSG beat Lyon 1-0 to move to top of Ligue 1Views: 5491
|Wednesday December 19, 2012
A first half injury-time goal from Blaise Matuidi gave Paris Saint-Germain a 1-0 victory in their top-of-the-table clash with Lyon at the Parc des Princes on Sunday as the capital club moved top on goal difference.
Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose steady supply of goals has constituted the bedrock of PSG's tilt at a first league crown since 1994, this time turned provider, cutting in from the right to whip over a cross for Matuidi, lurking on the edge of the box.
The French-born midfielder, whose parents are both Angolan, promptly launched himself to nod past Lyon keeper Remy Vercoutre.
PSG's success before a 43,000 crowd saw them move ahead of both Lyon and Marseille on goal difference with all three having garnered 35 points from 18 games.
Lyon's third defeat of the campaign was a further blow after they had dropped two home points in a midweek draw with rock-bottom Nancy while PSG had been grateful to an Ibrahimovic hat-trick in a 4-0 thrashing of Valenciennes.
And this loss extended their winless sequence against the Parisians to eight encounters.
Lyon gave as good as they got in the early exchanges despite Remi Garde's men missing the midfield creativity of the injured Yoann Gourcuff.
PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti left out Brazilian attacking midfielder Nene, who was dropped for the past two league outings after his attitude to being left on the bench for a Champions League match against Porto came in for criticism - although Ancelotti insisted "his attitude has changed - (but) he has a small calf problem".
The Parisians, floating on a sea of cash from their Qatari owners but still trying to find the right blend in what has been an inconsistent campaign - will now hold on to pole position if they can win their final match of the year on Friday at Brest.
Lyon complete their 2012 programme on Saturday at home to Nice while Marseille finish off the year at the Stade Velodrome against fallen giants Saint Etienne.
Lyon might have easily bagged a point but Argentine striker Lisandro Lopez hit the post.
That was a rare excursion into the danger zone from a visiting side playing five at the back and once PSG had their lead the hosts rarely looked like conceding their advantage.
On Saturday, Andre-Pierre Gignac's first goal since his return from injury guided Marseille to a 1-0 win over nine-man Toulouse after the latter had Cheikh M'Bengue and Franck Tabanou dismissed during the first half.
M'Bengue received a harsh straight red card for a lunge on Morgan Amalfitano on 25 minutes, while Toulouse goalkeeper Ali Ahamada saved a first-half penalty from Andre Ayew after Tabanou had impeded Jordan Ayew.
The home side were then reduced to nine men as Tabanou was sent off for a rash challenge from behind on Andre Ayew on the stroke of half-time, as Ahamada produced a couple of excellent saves from Joey Barton and Lucas Mendes to keep it goalless at the interval.
Saint Etienne saw any real hope of closing in on the top three recede after they went down to a 2-0 home loss to Lorient for whom former Arsenal man Jeremy Aliadiere hit the opener before Alain Traore sealed the win.
Nancy, buoyed by having held Lyon, prevented Bordeaux from moving into the top four by holding them to a 1-1 home draw

Galicia: Barcelona suffered a slight hiccup in their pursuit of the Liga title after they were held to a 2-2 draw by Celta Vigo at the Balaidos on Saturday.
Lionel Messi`s second-half strike means that he has now scored against every team in the Spanish top flight this season, during an incredible goalscoring streak that has spanned 19 consecutive games.
Celta certainly proved themselves to be no pushovers, however, and took a lead in the 38th minute through a close range Natxo Insa strike that reflected their encouraging first half play.
But Barca responded just before the interval, as Messi set up Tello for a splendidly taken equaliser, before converting the 21-year old forward`s pass in the 73rd minute to seemingly put the visitors on their way to all three points.
However, with one minute remaining, Borja Oubina rose highest to head home the tying goal to deny the Blaugrana victory, though they still hold a 14 point lead at the top of the table.
With Paris Saint-Germain on the horizon, interim coach Jordi Roura rang the changes, as Marc Bartra, Martin Montoya, Alex Song and Tello were all handed starts for the Catalans.
Celta had the ball in the back of the net as early as the 12th minute when Augusto Fernandez volleyed home with precision from the top of the box, but an earlier offside correctly ruled out the effort.
Barca were perhaps lacking a cutting edge in the final third as they struggled to create much more than half chances against a stubborn Celta defence.
The home crowd, already rocking long before kick-off, were left howling in disbelief when Park Chu-Young was bundled over by Bartra inside the area, only for the referee to wave play on.
But their side would grow in confidence as the first half wore on, and Jose Pinto had to be at his absolute best to parry a dodgy deflection off Gerard Pique, before recovering in time to deny Fernandez from the rebound.
Barca had a penalty shout of their own denied when Messi went down under pressure from Vadim Demidov, but the best openings continued to fall the way of the hosts, with Borja Oubina coming close with a header from a corner.
And with seven minutes to go until half time, Celta would get the goal that their play just about warranted. Fabian Orellana's jerky run fooled the entire Barca defence, and despite his shot lacking any kind of power, Insa was there to prod home from in close.
But the Catalans would hit back before the break. Messi forced Javi Varas into a sprawling save from a 25-yard free-kick, before clipping a great ball over the defence to find Tello, who opened up his body to bend a sumptuous finish into the far corner.
Neither team really shone above the other in the initial stages of the second half, though Park had a decent opportunity when he stabbed Fernandez' cross the wrong side of the post.
But it was a familiar combination that would send the Catalans into the lead, when Messi spread to Tello out wide, continued his run into the box, and stroked the return pass home from close range with 17 minutes remaining.
It seemed like the Catalans did enough to secure the win, but with stoppage time looming, Oubina headed home a cross at the far post to send the crowd into delirium and give the hosts a crucial point in their battle for survival.

Courtney nominated for fifth term as congressman
Enfield — In a move that's unlikely to surprise anyone, state Democrats on Wednesday nominated Joe Courtney for a fifth term as the U.S. Representative for Connecticut's 2nd District during a convention at Asnuntuck Community College in Enfield.
Delegates made no other nominations for the position, and as soon as Courtney began to state his "enthusiastic acceptance," his words were drowned out by applause despite the microphone.
Although the delegates were enthusiastic and most Democrats consider Courtney's seat safe, the congressman assured the audience that he did not take their support for granted.
Speakers at Wednesday's convention frequently referred to Courtney by the two nicknames he's picked up, "Landslide Joe" and "Two-Subs Joe," the first of which refers to his narrow victory during his first election.
"I hate tattoos, but if I ever have a tattoo, I'm going to put 83," said Courtney, referring to the 83-vote margin by which he defeated then-three-term Congressman Rob Simmons in 2006 after an unsuccessful bid for his seat in 2002.
Courtney won his next election by a two-to-one margin, but he said the "squeaker" on 2006 left a lasting impact — the realization that a seat in Congress is "borrowed time, and if you've got an opportunity, you better take it when you can."
"Entering Congress knowing every vote is precious," added Courtney, "my office treats everyone that calls us as the most important voter in the district."
Courtney's other nickname refers to his work to authorize the building of two submarines a year at Electric Boat in Groton, and there were no shortage of remarks on Courtney's track record on defense at Wednesday's convention.
Frank Gulluni, director of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center at Asnuntuck Community College, reminded the audience that Courtney recently helped create the largest shipbuilding contract in U.S. history, a $17.6 billion deal that guarantees the production of 10 submarines over the next five years at Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia.
The Courtney campaign also chose to highlight the congressman's work on education.
Christopher Soto of New London, who directs a nonprofit called Higher Edge, provided the initial nomination for Courtney. In January, the congressman visited Soto's organization, which helps low-income high school students in New London through the process of applying to college and securing financial aid.
It was "amazing" to watch Courtney converse with the students in the program, said Soto, and it allowed the students to "realize the impact (he has) on their lives."
Soto praised Courtney's work last year on a bill that limited student loan interest rate increases, making college more feasible for the students in Higher Edge. He also thanked the congressman for his support of expanding the post-Sept. 11 G.I. bill, which allowed veterans like Soto to continue their education.
"We are fortunate to have someone who authentically cares about the people he serves" while representing the second district, said Soto.
Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman presided over the convention and spoke fondly of Courtney after confirming his nomination.
He "has one of the biggest hearts I've ever met in my entire life," she said, calling Courtney a man of "caring and sharing" who gets energy from spending time with his family.
Although several guests and state politicians spoke Wednesday, the one who got the most attention was former state Sen. Edith Prague. As she made her way to the stage, she received a standing ovation, and one man shouted out, "Edith, I love you!"
Her speech was simple and straightforward.
"We're here to nominate a good guy," said Prague, who endorsed Courtney in 2006, a move he said might have determined the outcome.
Editor's note: This version corrects the number of terms Courtney has been in office.

A trip to a small prairie in southeastern Barton County was the inspiration that led a photographer with local roots to embark on an 11-year project that culminated in July with the release of a new book.
A trip to a small prairie in southeastern Barton County was the inspiration that led a photographer with local roots to embark on an 11-year project that culminated in July with the release of a new book.
Noppadol Paothong's inspiring photos can be seen frequently gracing the cover of the Missouri Conservationist, a magazine distributed free to Missouri residents by the Missouri Department of Conservation.
In July, Paothong took delivery of the first copies of his new book, "Save the Last Dance: The Story of North American Grassland Grouse."
"The grassland grouse is probably one of the most overlooked species in North America, Paothong said. "People think about all the things around nature, forests and other places, but grassland is probably valued the least. People don't understand them. People don't know they exist. What inspired me the most about this project is because I want people to be aware of it; that it's there and it is part of our American heritage."
The 204-page hard-bound book features Paothong's award-winning photography, and stories by Joel Vance, a writer for the Missouri Department of Conservation's magazine.
Paothong attended college at Missouri Southern State University and was a freelance photographer for The Carthage Press in the 1990s before joining The Joplin Globe's staff for several years.
It was a trip to the Golden Prairie near Golden City that inspired Paothong to start working on his book.
"I was introduced by a man named Lowell Pugh, he's a local guy and also an emeritus member of the Prairie Foundation," Paothong said. "He introduced me to the prairie chicken. I was told about the bird by so many people, they said 'Oh, you've got to see this bird, it's so neat the way they dance.' I didn't understand that until I started photographing them and watching them."
Paothong said the grouse, or prairie chicken, is an endangered bird on Missouri prairies, primarily because of the loss of the habitats they need to eat, mate and raise their young.
"They are a very, very fast animal to photograph," Paothong said. "Only two or three months of the year they will come out and gather in what's called a Lek, which means the gathering place or the mating ground. Usually they've been using a Lek for many years so the male will come and do some dancing so the female can select a mate. They will do that every morning, 30 minutes before sunrise and will stay a few hours.
"Think about how much energy they put into it and what kind of risk is involved for them to be out in the open. It's very fascinating to watch and I just want people to appreciate this part of the book."
Paothong said he traveled across the country and photographed different grouse species ranging Wyoming to the East Coast.
One of the most poignant challenges he faced was photographing a species of grouse that had already disappeared.
The last Heath Hen was seen on the dunes of Martha's Vinyard in massachusetts in the 1930s.
Paothong said he included a chapter on that bird and illustrated it by taking an archival photo of the last known Heath Hen, a male named Booming Ben, who was seen for several years returning to the Lek to search for mates that had already died off.
The grouse has also disappeared from the Golden Prairie, the place that inspired Paothong to create this book, but there is hope for Missouri grouse.
"We put a lot of effort into the reintroduction of species at the Department of Conservation," Paothong said. "We brought some prairie chicken from Kansas and we released them in the Wakonta Prairie, which is near Nevada. We released quite a few there and they are doing okay."

More than 10,000 houses in Onslow County were vacant last year, according to new information from the U.S. Census Bureau.
More than 10,000 houses in OnslowCountywere vacant last year, according to new information from the U.S. Census Bureau.
OnslowCountyhad 70,361 houses with 59,806 occupied and 10,555, or 15 percent, vacant. CarteretCountyhad 48,468 houses with 28,071 occupied and 20,397, or 42 percent, vacant, according to the Bureau�s 2011 American Community Survey which estimates cover a three-year period from 2009 to 2011.
The highest building period of existing OnslowCountyhouses has been since 2005 with 13,339, or 19 percent, having been built since then, according to the report.
The influx of new houses has made it difficult for homeowners to sell older houses, officials said.
�It�s difficult to resell a home when a brand new home with more amenities more square feet costs the same or less,� said Jacksonville City Manager Richard Woodruff.
He said research shows the number of buyers is remaining steady, but the number of new houses continues to increase. The result is that Jacksonvillehas become a buyer�s market and someone looking to sell a home finds themselves competing with dozens of other homeowners.
The study shows that 60 percent of the occupied houses were owner occupied with 40 percent being rented. The most common price for an OnslowCountyhome fell into $100,000 - $150,000 range with 282 houses valued at more than $1 million.
Seventy-three percent of all the houses in OnslowCountyare mortgaged.
Of the occupied homes, 22,270 are rented with tenants paying an average $926 a month with 200 renters paying less than $200 and 1,783 renters paying more than $1,500.
In CarteretCounty, the most common building period was from 1980 to 1989.
Sixty-five percent of CarteretCountyresidents own their home and 35 percent of residents pay rent.
The most common value for a CarteretCountyhouse fell into the $200,000 to $250,000 range with 188 houses valued at more than $1 million.
Sixty-one percent of all houses in CarteretCountyare mortgaged.
Rent figures for CarteretCountywere not provided.
The U.S. Census Bureau has released the latest findings from the American Community Survey.
�The American Community Survey estimates provide timely local demographic, economic, social and housing statistics for small communities across the country and in Puerto Rico to a wide range of users,� Thomas Mesenbourg, the Census Bureau�s acting director, said in a news release. �The results are used by everyone from retailers and homebuilders to town and city planners. The statistics are indispensable to anyone who has to make decisions in the communities.�
Since the first census in 1790, conducted under the direction of Thomas Jefferson, census questions have collected information on the demographic characteristics of the nation�s people.

It's a dubious distinction: Justin Worrall is the first person in Florida to be bitten by a shark in 2012. The 19-year-old was kite-surfing near Playa Linda Beach in coastal Brevard County near Cape Canaveral when he "suddenly felt a pinch, a pull and then pain," reported CBSMiami on March 5.
Bleeding profusely from his wound, Worrall used his kiteboard to get away from the shark and back to the beach where his waiting brothers rushed him to the hospital.
He then spent about four hours there getting his leg cleaned, stitched and bandaged.
Worrall said on his Facebook page:
Out past the break, I was kiting so I was able to ride back in pretty fast. Super lucky, it coulda taken a chunk!
yea I was kiting in titusville and I got bit, they left it open to heal though only 3 stitches haha
Here's Justin Worrall and brothers without sharks:
More shark bites near Cape Canaveral
Meanwhile, Authorities cleared the water in New Smyrna Beach Wednesday after two surfers were apparently bitten by sharks, the Associated Press is reporting.
Volusia County Beach Patrol reports that a teenage boy and a young girl suffered bites within five minutes of each other Wednesday afternoon. They were both surfing in waist-deep water in the same area, but they weren't together.
Beach Patrol says the boy was taken by personal vehicle to a nearby hospital with cuts on his calf. The girl was taken by ambulance with a bite to the ankle.
Both victims described their shark as being about 4 or 5 feet long, but authorities says it's unlikely they were bitten by the same shark.

Native Americans say health care promises here not fulfilled
When her husband was laid off in 2010 from his engineering job and the couple lost his insurance, Anna Edwards said her monthly prescription bill quadrupled to almost $1,200 and she was forced to abandon some medications.
"It's like having to play Russian roulette every day and gamble on it and pray," she said. "I've had a stroke. I have a blocked coronary artery. Total blockage on the left side."
But the U.S. government made treaty commitments to provide Edwards, a San Juan Pueblo, and other Native Americans from federally recognized tribes with health care regardless of financial situation.
In Houston, it's an unfulfilled promise. Of the 10 U.S. cities with the largest American Indian populations, Houston is the only one without an Indian Health Service facility, according to a census data analysis by the Native American Health Coalition.
The coalition contends this often leaves the Houston area's 70,000 Native Americans - a population that has almost doubled in the past decade - without culturally sensitive, cost-effective and preventative health care.
"Native people typically get their diagnosis later and their mortality is greater than any other group for a lot of diseases because they don't have that easy access to preventative care," said Board Chairwoman Deborah Scott, a Cherokee.
Even as Indian Health Service struggles to meet commitments elsewhere, Scott hopes to confront Native American health disparities by bringing a clinic, or at least funding, to Houston. The effort has become a rallying point for greater recognition of the city's growing American Indian community.
Higher mortality rates
Although Houston is home to many world-class medical facilities, Native Americans access preventative care less often and have higher mortality rates for diabetes, some forms of cancer and other illnesses, according to federal health studies.
When the uninsured do access care, they're most likely to visit an emergency room or to drive to IHS clinics in Dallas or on the reservations that anchor their tribes, reports the coalition. Edwards herself planned to drive back to her people's home in New Mexico, where she could access cheaper care and prescriptions, but travel costs were too high. She went without.
Almost 20 percent of Houston-area Native Americans make less than $15,000 a year, and 40 percent earn less than $35,000, often making health care a luxury, according to the Census' American Community Survey.
The primary reason for delayed care is the same as for many other Americans - unaffordable costs - but Native Americans say they face additional barriers.
Three tribes are federally recognized in Texas, but they only received this recognition and a political voice in the past 40 years. Members of the other 25 tribes in Houston arrived from out-of-state and have faced challenges collaborating.
Edwards said this made American Indians an almost invisible population in the Houston metro area, even though census data shows their population growth in Harris County leads counties nationwide.
Every tribe in Houston has a unique set of traditions, beliefs and histories, said Scott, but some underlying similarities help explain challenges they face within the health care system.
"There are clinics that aren't familiar with native people and aren't open to how native people think," coalition leader, she said.
Some fear doctors will reject traditional healing methods, which were illegal in parts of the country until a 1978 federal law affirmed the right.
Even expectations of a patient-doctor relationship are different in many Native American cultures, leading to poor communication.
The Native American Health Coalition said it has seen some improvement after hosting sensitivity training for area medical professionals, such as the Houston Health Department including Native Americans in its long-term health care planning.
Beyond increased sympathy, Scott said the changes had little impact.
She and others hoped for more substantive changes after Houston was included in an extensive national study of urban Indians by Indian Health Service last fall.
Program here unlikely
Phyllis Wolf, director of the service's Urban Programs, said changes under President Barack Obama excite her, but she also realizes much remains undone.
Wolf has seen Congress incrementally increase appropriations to the service and Obama sign the Affordable Care Act, which included a permanent reauthorization of treaty commitments; and she has strengthened partnerships with other health agencies as part of Obama's push for increased collaboration.
"One of the benefits of the partnerships is maximizing limited federal resources," Wolf said. "But the quality of health care is just that much better, the more we work together."
Yet, Wolf said it remains unlikely the service will establish a new urban program in Houston, in part, because the 33 existing ones are so underfunded.
Today, nearly 80 percent of Native Americans live off-reservation, but only about 1 percent of Indian Health Service funding is dedicated to urban programs.
Even on reservations, it's common for surgery patients to wait months, and for tribal members to joke that they try not to get sick after June because that's when funds run out for some treatment programs each year.
"It sounds like a handout," Scott said of Indian Health Service care. "But it's free minimal health care. They do the best they can, but we've got rationed health care."
Wolf said she hopes to help the Native American Health Coalition seek federal grants outside of Indian Health Service to help care for Houston Native Americans, but that alternative has divided backing.
Scott supports any solution to improve care and said an alternative to a bricks-and-mortar clinic could lead to a new model of urban Indian care. "The time is ripe to do something creative in Houston and set the stage for where we're going in the future," Scott said.
She said it is important to recognize tribal sovereignty and that the federal government is falling short of treaty obligations:
"You made a promise. You made a deal."

FTR necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 60 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for a cool new design for our website, that works for our whole range of products; Mountain, road and BMX bikes, as well as our new expansion into scooters and skate gear.
We want to put heavy emphasis on our online store, while still being a portal for people looking for info on the brands we stock, our locations, etc.
We're looking for the DESIGN ONLY, no need to code!
http://www.fortheriders.com For new logos, see http://www.fortheriders.com/logos
- Trying to create a website that puts emphasis on the online store, without losing consumers who want to come visit our physical shops (we have two locations)
- Looking for the design of a front page (you can design other pages if they are integral to your design, but this is not necessary).
- Our old site has a lot of detail on it (on the front page) and we want it to be visually more appealing
- We want to display our brand logos prominently on the front page. Our brand logos and other relevant material can be found at http://www.fortheriders.com/logos
- We have done a brief sketch of where we would like the key elements placed on the front page. It can be found at http://www.fortheriders.com/logos/L…tBrief.jpg
- I am open to suggestions, some elements may be moved around if you think it would look better....
- A .PSD (or similar) file of the first page.
- The design should be "repeatable" (ie: only the centre content frame will change substantially from page to page).
- Keep it clean and neat
- The centre section (which should include text and "featured products", though preferably not be very long ie. require lots of scrolling) would probably be best white.
- You can use riding pictures throughout (all our staff compete and we sponsor a number of riders). These are found on http://www.fortheriders.com/logos/
- I am open to suggestions re: colours, but our corporate colour is the red used on our current site (with grey, white and black) and this theme should be continued.
- Needs to be easier to read / peruse than our current site.
- I like these sites:
- http://www.skaterhq.com.au to using a similar layout, and like the use of the background). Could be open to playing around with our layout to make it more like this.
- http://www.clawsandpaws.com.au (i like the integration of the shopping cart section into the header, and the general 'flow' of the site. Also could utilise all the spare space on the right hand side...)
- http://www.thenoshpeople.com.au (like the faded background and the menu bars).
- http://www.99bikes.com.au
- http://www.soluxurious.com.au/ (especially the header section)
- http://store.apple.com/us (neat looking online store)
- http://demo.magentocommerce.com/
- Clutter
- These are sites I don't want to model our new site on:
- http://www.bikemagic.com/ (too cluttered)
- http://www.ebags.com/ ( I don't like the product listing down the left hand side)
- http://www.wiggle.co.uk/default.aspx?cat=cycle (product listing down the left hand side; far too long).

CEO choice plays it safe
Microsoft's pick to lead company reinforces its risk-averse image
San Francisco
After compiling a list of more than 100 CEO candidates, Microsoft settled on Satya Nadella, a home-grown leader who joined the software maker in the early 1990s. That's back when Google's founders were teenagers and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was in elementary school.
Tuesday's hiring of Nadella as Microsoft's CEO after a five-month search is a safe move that's likely to be greeted with sighs of relief around the company's Redmond, Wash., headquarters, industry analysts say. But the methodical, almost predictable decision is likely to reinforce perceptions that Microsoft Corp. is a plodding company reluctant to take risks as it competes against younger rivals who relish going out on a limb.
While Google founder and CEO Larry Page boasts about his company taking "moon shots" and Zuckerberg promises to "move fast and break things," Microsoft has fallen behind the technological curve after underestimating the importance of Internet search more than a decade ago and reacting too slowly to the rise of mobile devices during the past seven years. Meanwhile, the sales of personal computers running on Microsoft's Windows software are shrinking.
Microsoft's malaise may have narrowed the field of up-and-coming visionaries interested in running a company founded in 1975.
Just as Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Apple Inc. founder Steve Jobs would never have considered working at IBM Corp. in the 1980s, today's entrepreneurial whiz kids scoff at Microsoft's overtures.
"Going to work at Microsoft could make it look like you are going back to the dark ages," says Richard Metheny, a management coach for the executive search firm Witt/Kieffer in Chicago. "It's a well-entrenched business that has had trouble lately figuring out how to play in this new world."
Despite its challenges, Microsoft remains a moneymaking machine that sits atop an $84 billion cash pile. That alone should have been enough to tempt technological sharpshooters to take a shot at turning around the company, says Dennis Carrey, vice chairman of executive recruiting firm Korn Ferry and co-author of the book "Boards that Lead."
Microsoft "is like a car that still has a full tank of gas, but it's just an old model," Carrey says. "There are a lot of great tech executives who yearn for that kind of challenge, especially with a bucket of cash to make acquisitions and do some really fun, cool stuff."
A Microsoft resurgence is entirely possible. IBM famously bounced back during the 1990s after hiring an outsider, former packaged food and financial services executive Louis Gerstner, to impose the most wrenching changes in that company's history.
Unsurprisingly, Microsoft described Nadella as the best person to intensify the company's focus on blending software and gadgets with cloud computing — a term broadly used to describe the concept of delivering applications and other services over the Internet.
Nadella, 46, wins praise from analysts and colleagues for his technical expertise, affability and deep knowledge of Microsoft's culture and disparate divisions. He has spent the last 22 years at the company, working in jobs that gave him insight into cloud computing, data centers, Internet search and video game consoles.
But Nadella also has a major handicap: He is a remnant of the same management team that led Microsoft astray during previous CEO Steve Ballmer's 14-year reign.
"As Microsoft continues down the right lane of the highway at 55 mph with its new CEO in hand, the fear among many investors is that other tech vendors from social, enterprise, mobile, and the tablet segments continue to easily speed by the company in the left lane of innovation and growth," FBR analyst Daniel Ives wrote in a research note.
Microsoft's stock dipped 13 cents to close at $36.35 Tuesday after Nadella was anointed as CEO. The stock fell by more than 30 percent during the Ballmer era.
Given the stock's poor performance and the challenges facing the company, it probably would have made more sense for Microsoft's board to hire an outsider as CEO, says long-time technology analyst Patrick Moorhead.
John Thompson, the Microsoft board member who oversaw the CEO search, made it clear that the company did an exhaustive search. In a blog post late last year, Thompson disclosed that the board initially identified more than 100 prospects before whittling the field to about 20 people who are "all extremely impressive in their own right."
