Microsoft Advances Volume Purchasing With Select Plus Offering
The new Microsoft Select Plus Volume Licensing program offers larger companies with multiple business units flexibility in purchasing, streamlined license management, and reduced time and potential costs of renegotiating licensing agreements.
The flexible licensing program enables customers to automatically realize price advantages for volume purchasing across the entire company at corporate and affiliate locations. It can also track both the contract and ordering processes under a single customer ID, making it easier to manage software licenses throughout an organization. Informed by customer research, the new program helps Microsoft Corp. improve the way it brings products and services to market and supports its ongoing relationships with customers.
Select Plus provides customers with additional options for purchasing and represents a fundamental shift in how customers and partners can manage the acquisition of software licenses. Through a unique set of customer benefits and features, Select Plus can simplify purchasing with a single agreement under the Master Business Agreement while eliminating variances based on purchase timing.
"Select Plus is a tailored response to customer feedback for greater flexibility and enhanced manageability in purchasing," said Joe Matz, corporate vice president for Worldwide Licensing and Pricing at Microsoft. "We depend greatly on our customers' input to gain a deep understanding of the features and benefits they're looking for. We want to enable an optimal purchasing experience, not to mention simplify the ongoing management of their software licenses so they get the most value out of their investment."
Select Plus is a natural add-on to customers' existing Enterprise Agreements and an alternative to the traditional Select License to consolidate transactional purchasing across multiple agreements. Customers can easily purchase and manage additional licensed products and services on a per-project basis as well as instantly qualify for the next discounted price level through increased purchase volume. Because Select Plus agreements never expire for transactional purchases, customers can experience more flexibility while eliminating the need to renegotiate and renew their contracts. In addition, customers choosing to add Microsoft Software Assurance (http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/sa/default.mspx) can do so at any time and receive the full 36 months of Software Assurance benefits such as deployment planning services, support and training.

Niagara also quietly launched their own Ascender label in 2014 with a stream of CDRs collating their studio experiments. The 37 EP is Ascender's second vinyl release, gathering four tracks bursting at the seams with unpredictability while still serving the dance floor. B-side opener "Paradela" jumps out immediately, a mangled chunk of mutant house that fizzes with a kineticism that recalls Jamal Moss. As with most of Niagara's music, it's not clear which member does what, but "Paradela" sounds like they have some unhinged spirits trapped within their machines. You could also offer Jamal Moss as a comparison for "Jordão," a stripped-down production that grabs your attention with sinewy sequencing.
By contrast, A-side opener "Tó" sounds like Niagara were trying their hands at straight-up house music. Rich, colourful synths tumble out invitingly over loose, choppy drums, while someone breaks rank intermittently by going a bit mental with a cymbal. "12" could be a Juju & Jordash track, with a deep, percussive throb keeping the beat while someone lets loose with an improvised synth solo that occasionally mimics a dolphin, and another attacks some pots and pans. It sounds chaotic, but that's the beauty of Niagara.

Yeah yeah yeah, sorry - that was lame huh?
Enjoy your 4th of July everybody. It is the day we told those inbred British royal faggots to get the f*ck out of America.
You know the ones - they just spent 5 billion on the Royal wedding, while their citizens are having trouble finding and keeping jobs.
What a great bunch of sh*t-heads!

Code Enforcement inspectors were back on the scene Wednesday at the Pinnacle Apartments, wrapping up their investigation into a fatal elevator accident.
Monday night, 3-year-old Xayvion Carlton died when he fell nine stories down an elevator shaft after an outer door gave way. The door was missing a small plate that keeps it on track.
Wednesday, Action News 5 investigated who exactly is at fault in the elevator's malfunction.
Local ordinances in Memphis state that it is the building owner's responsibility to maintain the elevator in a safe and reasonable manner. Usually this is accomplished by the hiring of an elevator contractor.
Schindler Elevator, the company with the maintenance contract on the elevator, said in a statement through their New York public relations firm, "Schindler Elevator extends its deepest sympathy to the family and the friends of the young boy who died following a tragic accident at the Pinnacle Apartments in Memphis Monday night. The matter is under investigation and it would inappropriate to speculate about the case."
When we went to the building's management office for comment, we were asked to leave the property. No one affiliated with the apartment complex would give any comment.
Elevator Inspector Charlie Haines said he and one other individual inspect all 3,000 elevators in Shelby County once a year. He said although the rest of the state is required to do inspections twice a year, ordinances in Memphis only require one inspection per 365 days.

Thank you for being one of our most loyal readers. Please consider supporting community journalism by subscribing.
Borderline diabetes is a term historically used to describe blood sugars that are elevated but not yet high enough to confirm a diagnosis of diabetes. The term was not clearly defined and no specific treatment was recommended, so people often were not sure how to manage their condition.
In recent years, terminology has changed from borderline to pre-diabetes, which has clearly defined lab values and established treatment recommendations. Screening for pre-diabetes can help identify those at high risk of diabetes so that recommendations can be made to prevent or delay progression to type 2 diabetes.
American Diabetes Association estimates that 1 in 3 adults have pre-diabetes. Many are not aware of this condition because it has no obvious symptoms. Risk factors for diabetes include family history, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and presence of health problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or history of gestational diabetes.
Without identification and treatment, pre-diabetes will often progress to type 2 diabetes within five years. The seven-question pre-diabetes risk test can be taken online at www.diabetes.org, the official website of the American Diabetes Association. After the test, you get an immediate risk score and discussion of your risk factors, which you can print and take to your health care provider. Providers can discuss your risk status, order lab screening tests and make recommendations for management of pre-diabetes.
Lab tests offered for screening may include an A1C test, fasting blood sugar test or glucose tolerance test. Each of these tests has different purposes in making a diagnosis. The A1C test estimates blood sugar levels over two to three months, while a fasting blood sugar test measures a single point in time. Glucose tolerance testing is often done during pregnancy to evaluate for gestational diabetes, a risk factor for type 2 diabetes later in life. Providers also may offer screenings based on recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force that are based on age and health condition.
Once a pre-diabetes diagnosis is confirmed, current recommendations include lifestyle changes and in some cases, medication. Lifestyle changes often help to delay or prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes. Increasing physical activity and implementing a healthy meal plan can be very effective in achieving a healthy weight. It can be difficult to make these changes without instruction and ongoing support.
Our community is fortunate to have many resources to help meet this need. The National Diabetes Prevention Program, established and researched by the Centers for Disease Control, determined that people who successfully complete the program can reduce risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes by at least 58 percent. Goals of these programs include helping participants achieve weight loss of 5 to 7 percent and increasing physical activity to 150 minutes per week. The impact of this can be seen for years. (Ref. https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/prevention/prediabetes-type2/preventing.html).
Wilson County Health Department and the Wilson YMCA offer NDPP programs to people with pre-diabetes. Wilson Medical Center offers outpatient nutritional counseling for those who prefer individual instruction. Education may be a covered benefit of commercial insurance and people with Medicare B.
Wilson Diabetes Education and Support group is another source of support and information. Meetings are held at Wilson Medical Center and facilitated by a certified diabetes educator and a dietitian. Topics for this year include exercise, reading nutrition labels and grocery store tours. Visit www.wilsonmedical.com/community/events for the meeting schedule and topics.
If you are concerned about your risk for pre-diabetes or diabetes, please consult with your health care provider. Early detection and lifestyle changes can make a world of difference in your long-term health. Need a primary care physician? Call 800-424-DOCS (3627) to connected to one today.

Why should I upgrade from a fuse panel to a breaker panel system?
Fuse panels have limited capacity to handle todays' electrical loads. They usually do not have enough space to add new circuits when renovating your home and often have an oversized fuse installed by the homeowner due to continuously blowing fuses on overloaded circuits. Fuse panels were used in an era when the only household devices requiring electricity were things like lamps, radios and maybe a television. The bottom line is that fuse based wiring systems were never meant to handle the electrical load of a modern household.
When should I replace my fuse box with a circuit breaker box?
The simple answer is "as soon as possible." Depending on your insurance policy and the current condition of the wiring in your home. Ring Electric can speedily and affordably upgrade your old fuse box to a modern circuit breaker panel. In older houses, fuse boxes and old wiring tend to go hand in hand. Despite this, upgrading the two are distinctly separate jobs. For instance, a circuit breaker panel can replace an old fuse panel with little or no need to remove and replace sections of your walls. However, if your home wiring is outdated or unsafely deteriorated, the task of installing new wiring virtually guarantees you will need to have some holes strategically drilled in your walls. Although we typically work on these two projects simultaneously, it is also possible to complete them in stages to lighten your financial load.
What are the main benefits of a new circuit breaker box?
While the most obvious benefit of a new circuit breaker panel is its ability to handle multiple electronic devices without overloading, there are other advantages, as well. One of the big reasons Ring Electric recommends upgrading from your old fuse panel is home insurance. Since the technology is so outdated, insurance companies look at a house with a fuse box and see an electrical fire just waiting to happen. The older your fuse box is, the higher your insurance premiums may be. Another benefit to keep in mind is that homes with circuit breakers will also have a higher resale value than homes with fuse panels.
Do NOT Attempt DIY
If you are set on upgrading your home's electrical system to circuit breakers, attempting a DIY operation is dangerous. It is more than a simple question of knowing what you're doing or having the correct tools to complete this unsafe process. The upgrade process requires the expertise of a licensed electrical contractor. Going it alone puts your whole home in jeopardy, as the entire house's power supply, wiring, and circuitry are affected by this project. So, do yourself a favor, and give us a call at Ring Electric when you decide it's time for an upgrade to your home's outdated electrical system.

Decisions, decisions...
I have been playing with a few ideas over the weekend for fabrics for my new chairs and cushions for another sofa. I put together some fabrics which I love together and I think they will be a fun and happy change to our current lounge room. The blue & white ticking is for the antique armchairs (probably in slipcovers so I can change my mind!!!). I am thinking of a neutral coloured 3 seater sofa for our other seating. I was thinking of blue & white scheme but really like this instead! Still deciding...

Makin' a wish~
Good morning all.
A good friend of mine touched base with me today hoping that I could help locate a special want. Well actually two. He's on the prowl for a couple of bottles to "make his day". I've got a couple of each, but until the time comes to liquidate my collection, they are firmly entrenched here.
Not neccesarily in order, Choice Old Cabinet glop top or tool top in the new mold. And of course the venerable Tea kettle~
And so here's hoping that someone out there has a duplicate that they'd be willing to cut loose of. Of course, the label is strictly optional (nice but not neccesary).
Lemme know what you have. Send me a detailed description and crisp unaltered digital photos and I'll try to help grant his wish.

News Flash - Blind Squirrel finds acorn!
Ebay's auction format has earned a much deserved black eye in the antique bottle world. The overwhelming abundance of ignorant sellers and unscrupulous scoundrels is nothing short of amazing.
The lack of photographic skills, kindergarten level spelling and punctuation, combined with inaccurate descriptions or downright deceptions never ceases to amaze me. And the "one of a kind" one line J. H. Cutters, and the unlisted Roth Lawton Rye's with the "no harm 1/2" flea nibble and crack running from base to lip" are always cheap entertainment.
On the flip side, there are some sleepers still making an appearance. Few and far between, but still out there. I just wish there was a way to design software to sleuth these buys out~
until it becomes available, you just have to be in the right place at the right
The other day I got a call from a fellow collector asking what I knew about Seagrams 7 advertising decanters. "Just send me some photos " and I'll look in my Jim
/ Ezra Brooks blah, blah, blah,
(yawn) catalogue and see what it was worth back in the 70's... A couple of days later
I received some pics of the "Seagrams 7 decanter" that he was curious
Lousy auction listing photos at best; but good enough to give me a wake up call! The logo, smack dab in the center of this piece literally screamed
Hello Earnest Rueben Lilienthal!
And the decanter wasn't some cheesy white glaze ceramic piece, it was glass (probably flint or lead) with ornate etching and a tulip shaped lip topped by an ornate faceted bulbous closure. Oh, and did I mention that it advertised a brand we'd never heard of? Yup, "Noble White Rye".
Obviously the Creme de la Creme of the Cyrus Noble Line.
Once in a blue moon, watching ebay pays off.

Yep, that squirrel found himself one heck of an acorn!

Good by friend~
Rick just posted this on the bitters site. I feel it neccesary to post it here as well.
I am very sad to report Mike Dolcini passed away today December 4th at 3:00 pm. Mike will be greatly missed by all of his friends and the bottle collecting community. What a great loss to all of us that knew Mike and to the bottle collecting hobby.
Mike was an avid digger, collector and researcher of western related bottles, advertising, antiques and Winchester rifles. No details as of yet but I will post the details about the services when I receive the information.
My feelings follow;
Mike was a great person and a valued member of our fraternity. He also was an invaluable researcher and contributed greatly to the hobby. As a fellow collector of both western whiskies and antique Winchesters, I can say that he will leave a void in both hobbies.
I'll miss you, Mike.

A Personality Flaw...
Crown Distilleries miniature, amber 5" tall, rare slug plate variant w/correct
Embossed Riley inside thread stopper.
Embossed Riley inside thread stopper.
Ok, I admit it, I'm not perfect. I've got lots of small flaws in my personality. Such is life. I've done my best to overcome these flaws as I've aged. My efforts have been successful most of the time.
But I still have two glaring
faults. And frankly, there's nothing that I can do about them.
You see, I HATE thieves. I know, HATE (bad word) - not very biblical, especially at this time of the year. Tough luck. And worse yet, I don't have an off switch. Yep, beneath this normally affable facade, white hair and smiles, lies the worst flaw I possess. You see, the fuse is long, but once lit, it's probably best not stick around to see the end result.
Trouble is, my wife's schedule precludes her from attending. As such, I'm alone trying to meet and greet fellow collectors at the table, handle sales and watch my wares. Year one I had a glop top whiskey disappear to the tune of a grand. Yep, a thousand smackers. So much for breaking even after expenses. Year two, two bottles grew legs. The loss was significant; way / way over the first in terms of value. Not to mention the pissed off level.
And so, that brings us to 2012.
Mike McKillop was good enough to move my location
down to the lower building where I'd hoped to get a break from the thievery.
Not! Friday afternoon saw Tom at the table in back of me loose a high dollar
ink. Saturday greeted me with the theft of a rare variant of the Crown
Distilleries miniature. No matter how much diligence one pays to their table, it
appears that it's never enough. There are low life SO B's
that seem to crawl out of the woodwork every year at this show.
I am, in a nutshell, fed up. I'm beyond pissed that some moron (or morons) feels that it's perfectly acceptable to steal. Did I mention that I HATE thieves?
The fuse is lit.
The fuse is lit.
You (thief) will get sloppy. You (thief) will get caught in the act. You (thief) will attempt to escape being retained by us (that's right not just by me, as everyone is fed up) for the authorities. And when we are done "subduing you", the police will be the least of your worries.
As old pal Rick Simi just posted on the Western

This photo was taken during what's been described as the "grand-daddy of winter storms" in Oregon, in December of 1919. Not only was there a large amount of snow; after that the weather dropped well below zero for days in many areas. Some towns hit record lows, including Pendleton, which reached 28 degrees below zero.
Visible in the background is the statue of Lady Justice on top of the old County Courthouse. The statue is displayed in a glass case in the lobby of the current courthouse.

Take a look at what we do
Case study: National Grid ▶ Next case study
The brief
Social media is an integral part of National Grid's new approach to communications and customer service, driving improvements in experience and brand reputation by opening up internal access to all staff. National Grid wanted to get better at engaging with the external world, supporting employees who want to build relationships with stakeholders and customers. The brief was to create a online campaign that supported the new social media policy and engaged with all employees – making them aware of
the changes and the best practices that the policy communicates.
National Grid required a robust education campaign and clear guidance material to help employees understand acceptable online behaviour, but also wanted to connect emotionally and translate policy and process in a way that people would understand straight away.
The solution
We created two online social media campaigns – one targeted at employees and one to leaders – to explain the benefits of social media within National Grid, helping engagement with the external world and supporting employees who want to build relationships with stakeholders and customers. The campaign ran both in the UK and US.
Animated campaign for leaders
We created an animated sequence to be used online and at conferences to introduce and explain to leaders how National Grid were opening up the use of social media within the business. The theme of 'open' was used throughout the film with every frame linked by the use of the letter 'O'. The sequences used kinetic typography and simple icons along with a narrative voiceover to deliver the key messages in an impactful and memorable way.
"We are opening up the world of social media to our staff. As an integral part of our approach to communications and customer service, we want you to see the bigger picture…"
Animated campaign for all employees
A second piece of animation, which was interactive and walked employees through various real-life scenarios, contained real examples of good and bad practice when using social media. We created a visual look, feel and tone of voice for social media, using a illustrative style that was engaging, straightforward and charming. Animations were used to tell the stories, describing how and when to use social media, examples of good and bad practice and the policies that should be observed. All the appropriate policies were also featured and linked to their intranet.
The result
In the initial three months after launch, the article was ranked number three in the most read news stories on the internal Infonet (out of over 200) and was read by 4,460 people. This was beaten only by a crisis communication in the US, which was received with particular interest as it was one of the biggest incidents National Grid has ever had to deal with.
With over 110 'likes' (employees clicking the 'like' option), previously likes had been negligible. This campaign is currently the all time top- rated story published on Infonet news.
In the initial seven weeks the policy received 1,120 views, compared to the 200 average based on past policies. The Social Media hub page on Infonet has been visited 1,522 times.
The campaign has won a trio of awards…
Digital Impact Award for 'Best Digital Employee Communication'.
Internal Communication Award for 'Best Electronic Design' and 'Most Innovative Campaign'.
"We are all really pleased with the results and we know that our employees appreciate a fresher approach to the subject."

G99 error online 10/10 best game ever!
I had to change my review due to recent news. A streamer just ordered 3 airdrops, and in all 3 of them he got game breaking items such as AR15, weapons, food, medic aid.
Seriously this is really bad, shady business. For months the developers boasted about how they wont sell anything that could break the game and was only cosmetic stuff they offered in the cash shop but literally the first 3 items that the livestreamer bought gave him everything he needed to win the entire game and kill everyone else on the server ruining everyone else's chance and fun.
Forget hackers, cash whales are your biggest problem with this game. Seriously, what good is it to "survive" when someone else on the server is dropping $10-20-40 into the game to gain weapons and ammo and kill everyone else?
Lol have fun getting into loading simulator 2015, and if you are lucky enough to get past the loading screen make sure you enjoy the G99 error.

Paper Magazine, here I come!
Don't ask me how, but I landed an amazing and totally enviable internship at Paper Magazine this summer. Starting on Tuesday (May 29th) I'll be moving down to NYC to start my eight week adventure.
I've created this blog to record my experience.

Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams is finishing only his third year in the NBA and is in the midst of only his second postseason. Yet his coach, Jerry Sloan, finishing up his 20th season at the helm of the Jazz, defers to Williams, letting him call the shots on the court.
"I kind of let him do what he does best," Sloan said.
Williams has shouldered a responsibility not assumed by even his most illustrious predecessor, John Stockton, one of the most successful point guards in league history.
"John could have done the same thing, but he felt more comfortable the other way," said Sloan, referring to Stockton's preference for having the plays called from the sideline by the coaching staff.
Of course, calling the shots becomes academic if you don't make your shots. Such was the case Sunday afternoon at Staples Center, where Williams, who made 50.7% of his shots from the field in the regular season, made only five of 18 as the Jazz lost the opener of its conference semifinal series against the Lakers, 109-98.
