Speedway To Host First Party In The Plaza August 22

Project 4 will provide the music for The Party In The Plaza.

Martinsville Speedway will come alive August 22, not with the rumble of race cars, but with the great sounds of music and fun as the track hosts its first Party In The Plaza.

Set in The Plaza, a new addition to the track, the evening will include a rocking good band, great food, including the Famous Martinsville Speedway Hot Dog®, and cold beverages.

Sponsored by the Martinsville-Henry County Chamber of Commerce, the inaugural Party In The Plaza will kick off at 6 p.m. on Friday, August 22, and run to 10 p.m. Admission is $5. It will be chamber appreciation night, with each member of the Martinsville-Henry County Chamber of Commerce receiving two free tickets.

“We are always looking for great new ways to showcase our facility and what better way than a fun time on a Friday evening after long week of work,” said Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell. “The Plaza is a great location for an event like this. We believe it’s going to be an incredible fun time for everyone.”

The Plaza is located left on Speedway Boulevard overlooking the speedway.

The featured band will be Project 4, a Roanoke-based band which has played in pre-race at Martinsville Speedway several times. The popular group mixes smooth harmonies and great musicianship, and no genre of music is off limits. From classic funk, to the Beatles, to Crosby, Stills and Nash, to popular rock and country, Project 4 plays it all. And the fun-factor with one of their shows is high.

“After working at Martinsville Speedway for several of the races, we are very excited about being the inaugural band for the track’s Party In The Plaza,” said Kent Martin, guitarist and lead vocalist for Project 4. “We hope to see everyone out there for a great time. It’s always fun coming to Martinsville.”

Amanda Witt, president of the Martinsville-Henry County Chamber of Commerce, said it was an easy decision to sponsor with the inaugural Party In The Plaza at Martinsville Speedway.

“The Martinsville-Henry County Chamber of Commerce is excited to partner with Martinsville Speedway on its first concert event at the new Party Plaza,” said Witt. “This is a chance for us to show appreciation to our members and promote the many events the speedway hosts for our community year-round.”

Tickets will go on sale Monday and may be purchased by calling 276.956.7200 or by stopping by the Martinsville Speedway ticket office. Tickets will also be on sale the evening of the event.

Peppermint is a modpack designed within the bounds of what I believe to be "vanilla" minecraft. Mostly every mod installed is something that would not be so far-fetched to add to the original game. This is why the pack is named Peppermint, to pay homage to this "Vanilla" nature. Botania, Improving Minecraft, Missing Pieces and Quark are the frontrunners of the pack and as such are the primary content providers for the modpack. Notable mentions are Roguelike Dungeons, Chisels & Bits, and Bloodmoon.

The modpack is configured to encourage exploration. Roguelike dungeons are noticeably harder to find, on par with other rare structures in the game. You can also encounter massive BattleTowers that you can traverse and conquer. Hardcore Wither is installed, which makes each consecutive wither battle more difficult but also offers end-game options for tools. There is a variety of atmospheric(and dangerous) mobs to encounter. Horse armour and saddles are craftable. IronBackpacks and IronChests are both installed to improve storage options. Redstone paste to put wires on your ceiling. The list of features would be a long one.

The Peppermint server is a Sponge server fully equipped to host those who wish to play this modpack together. Some plugins are installed to improve QoL but you can expect a mostly vanilla experience, as far as servers go. The server is complimentary, courtesy of myself. However, those who wish to support will be rewarded with cosmetics and goodies to show off how awesome they are. As things get running an gradually build momentum, you can expect events and other fun stuff on the server on a regular basis!

I made this modpack because all that is seen in the community these days is complication. Too much effort is spent making minecraft something that it is not. I chose mods that avoid complicating the game, while still providing fair entertainment for the veterans and simultaneously a ceiling low enough to reach for new modded players alike. I sincerely hope you will join me on Peppermint for some SWEET memories!

R/GA Goes West Again, Opens LA Office

Los-Angeles-ARenowned Interpublic Group digital shop R/GA has opened a new office in Los Angeles, its second office in California and fifth location in the U.S.

The agency said Steve Weinswig, vice president and managing director of R/GA’s San Francisco office, will also serve as interim managing director of R/GA Los Angeles until a permanent MD is appointed.

Senior leaders in Los Angeles will include R/GA veterans Tara Greer, executive creative director, experience design; Mark Laughlin, ECD, visual design, and Luke Stiles, senior technology director.

“Los Angeles has long been a part of R/GA over the years, with its deep pool of talent and a wide range of industries and clients in Southern California,” stated Bob Greenberg, the agency’s chairman and CEO.

The new office, located in the Santa Monica section of Los Angeles, is expected to expand to 30 staffers in its first year, according to the agency. Among the offerings that will be emphasized are service design, content creation and technology-application development.

Greer, a 14-year digital design veteran, has worked as a lead creative in R/GA New York on numerous projects for the Nike+, Nike Team, and Nike Store accounts, as well as Converse, L’Oréal, Verizon, and Corbis. She most recently served as a creative director and experience design lead on the Nike+ FuelBand project.

Ten-year veteran Laughlin most recently worked as an executive creative director on Nike at R/GA New York, where he was responsible for leading multidisciplinary campaigns and platform teams. Earlier, he held posts at Razorfish and Syrup.

Catchy, Fun Death Metal - 80%

FullMetalAttorney, December 13th, 2010

For the last 20 years or so, Norway has been the home of ultra-serious, no-fun-allowed black metal. But in 2010, it seems Norway is showing a different side, with fun-loving, non-black metal bands like Kvelertak and Goat the Head.

Goat the Head is a death metal band. I have no idea what the name is supposed to mean (if anything), but the final track of sophomore full-length Doppelgängers seems to provide their manifesto: "Primal Caveman Death Metal". They sound a lot like their neighbors to the east in Unleashed. It's very simple, pure death metal, without anything technical, and no weird time signatures. Most of it's mid-paced, but they effortlessly shift to much faster tempo and back. The bass is just loud enough and the drums just exciting enough to keep it going, with nice fills that never sound like showing off. The vocals sound like an ordinary human growl, but primal.

In contrast to Unleashed, however, this music is done in a sense of fun. They may let that sense get slightly out of hand when they let gang vocals creep in on "The Hunt is On (Sexy Son)", but the rest of the time it works perfectly. The songs have have head-bobbing rhythms, killer riffs, just-flashy-enough solos, and memorable shout-along choruses. Despite their primitivism, they do show some slight tendencies toward experimentation. "This Tube Is the Gospel", with its samples, choir, and female vocals, sounds like a parody of the gospel music you'd hear on a televangelism TV show. Album standout "The Ubiquitous Cube" has slow, minimalist, dissonant verses.

This is the most fun you'll have with death all year.

The Verdict: Goat the Head have proven that getting more technical and more brutal are not the only ways to make a great death metal album, even in 2010. All it has to be is catchy and fun.

Why Being Committed Can Bring You Freedom

Why Being Committed Can Bring You Freedom Hero Image

In any commitment, we are making a choice not to make a bunch of other choices. That is, we are embracing a particular set of limitations. In a relational context this will seem entrapping to the immature, but not to the mature.

For example, being confined to one woman may seem narrowing or entrapping to a man who’s done no deep work on himself, once his honeymoon with her has receded in the distance. With little novelty left (other than perhaps that generated through pornographic proclivity), and with little capacity to take the relationship deeper, he almost inevitably loses interest in her. (Although, ironically, he was never really that interested in HER.)

By contrast, being confined to one woman is far from narrowing or entrapping to a man who’s done — and continues to do — deep work on himself (assuming that he and she are compatible peers). He finds, and keeps finding, her remarkably interesting; his familiarity with her only affirms and deepens the Mystery of her for him.

His being limited to her deepens his freedom, for through his ever-closer intimacy with her, he touches far more than just another human being. Some might say that he has sacrificed breadth for depth, and they are right, but only partially right.

Initially, there’s little breadth but considerable depth; later on, as more depth is accessed, and he starts to experience archetypal dimensions of femaleness through his partner, there is more breadth, and therefore a wider embrace of Woman.

And still later on, as dimensionless depths of being are more fully accessed, there’s much more breadth, more of a vastly encompassing yet still deeply individuated sense of her, until he is — however fleetingly or subtly — in intimate contact with both the One and the Many, at which point relationship is being-centered communion, a sanctuary/crucible for a radically deep, exceptionally functional Life. Here she is his portal, and he is hers...

How To Prepare Your Daughter For Menstruation

How To Prepare Your Daughter For Menstruation Hero Image

A lot of the thoughts and feelings we have about menstruation are a combination of personal experiences and cultural perceptions. Western culture has relegated menstruation to a necessary but silent aspect of female sexuality. It's often depicted in literature and other forms of media as debilitating and even disgusting, a negative source of control over the female body.

Most of us were brought up to think that while menstruation must be endured, it must also be concealed: women must be strong with how they deal with the painful symptoms, but at the same time make sure not to express or call attention to their suffering. This can lead to a difficult and confusing set of emotions. In effect, we're taught contrary perceptions of how we should think about dealing with menstruation, which not only results in confusion, but possibly even reduced self-esteem and body image.

Moreover, Western culture characterizes menstruation as a hygienic calamity; we must be sanitized; otherwise, we'll be unclean. These kinds of ideas are culturally passed down from women to girls and even men to boys

With these prevailing attitudes toward menstruation, it's important for us to make the deliberate effort to cultivate a healthy and positive disposition around menstruation. From there, we can positively build and otherwise influence additional aspects of our self-perception, including body image.

Yet some research suggests that some young girls correlate menstruation with similarity among peers and becoming a woman — both indicated as positive attitudes in the literature. Increasing affirmative messages about menstruation in the media could be essential for shifting our beliefs. Perhaps commercials could discontinue portraying menstrual blood as blue water in order to demonstrate the absorbency of their products. This current depiction is sterilized and totally alien. If there were a different approach to advertising products such as tampons and pads, girls and women might confront the reality of their bodies in a way that celebrated, or even honored, themselves as a healthy, sexually functioning entity.

Parents can facilitate a positive outlook. Allowing your daughter to feel special and unique in her imminent womanhood cultivates an air of excitement and anticipation of menarche, and ultimately promoting a positive outlook on menstruation. Some methods for setting the scene might be: creating a special space for menstrual items (such as sanitary pads or tampons although not in a manner which promotes secrecy or shame) or arranging a special shopping excursion for menstrual items.

It is important to highlight both the joyful and challenging aspects of menstruation equally: some research has shown that only emphasizing the positive can create confusion, and even feelings of duplicity. We don't want to enhance the feeling of abnormality around cramping or other possible side effects related to menstruation (they're uncomfortable enough already!).

Ensuring that complete and accurate information is exchanged will not only facilitate positive attitudes surrounding menstruation but will also alleviate the actual side effects associated with menstruation. This accentuates the urgency of encompassing and honest conversations regarding menarche and menstruation.

One Of The 19 Ingredients In McDonald's French Fries Is Also In Silly Putty

One Of The 19 Ingredients In McDonald's French Fries Is Also In Silly Putty Hero Image

While most MindBodyGreen readers probably know that McDonald's is as far away from healthy eating as you can get, many others don't have the knowledge or the access to choose healthy, whole foods.

That's what makes the fast food chain's recent PR campaign — which employs a former MythBusters host as a "skeptic" — so sad and confusing. In an effort to convince consumers their products are "real," McDonald's actually highlights the fact that they are, most definitely, NOT.

In the most recent video, Grant Imahara explains that there are 19 ingredients in America's favorite fries, one of which is polydimethylsiloxane, the component of Silly Putty that makes it so silly. The Silly Putty ingredient has been making headlines, and it's an essential part of that distinctive McDonald's fries taste. Delicious!

No videos have surfaced of Grant Imahara crying himself to sleep on a bed of winning McDonald's Monopoly pieces, but the one below shows him explaining what each of the 19 ingredients is for. It turns out that hydrolyzed milk and natural beef flavor are what make them taste so darn good! And, for the record, that Silly Putty stuff (listed twice because it's used twice during the frying process) is an anti-foaming agent, and isn't as scary as it sounds, according to Grant.

What do you think? Is this one of the reasons Millennials don't go to McDonald's anymore?

4 Reasons Meditation Will Transform Your Pregnancy

During my pregnancy, my fundamental desire was for my baby to be balanced, happy and healthy.

All of my work as a meditation teacher has shown me that the most important factor in fulfilling this desire, is for the mother to aspire for these very same qualities.

And the most powerful tool for creating this balanced state was my regular meditation practice. Every time I closed my eyes, I knew I was meditating for two!

Here are four reasons why meditation will transform your pregnancy, and your baby:

1. Deeper rest

When we meditate, we rest deeply — much more so than sleep alone. There is so much change going on in our body throughout pregnancy, as the new life inside of us grows and develops. This can leave us feeling drained both physically and emotionally. Meditation taps into our energy reserves and allows for the creation process to play out in a smooth way.

2. Less stress, more bliss

It is so important for a mother to remain happy and calm. We are truly what we think. In the same way that our thoughts and feelings affect our physical body, whatever we think and feel during pregnancy directly affects the baby as well.

Meditation reduces stress hormones such as cortisol and increases the level of natural bliss chemicals like serotonin and oxytocin. A less anxious and tense mother will lead to a calmer and happier baby.

3. Connecting with universal intelligence

The universal intelligence that keeps the moon orbiting our planet is the same as what is responsible for the creation of a human being from its start as a single cell in the womb.

Meditation allows us to settle down our awareness to this subtle state of creative intelligence — the source of life itself. When we are aligned to this state of de-excitement, we tune in to the fountainhead of our creativity and all that manifests out of it. We are waking up our inner healing wisdom so that we can balance and strengthen our body from within.

4. Building up reserves

When we meditate each day, we are gaining more rest and releasing more stress than we are taking on board.

By meditating during pregnancy we quickly build up an energy surplus, which is crucial for childbirth and once the baby is born. One of the biggest contributing factors to new mothers feeling down and overwhelmed, is the fatigue they hold in their system.

When new mothers enter into this demanding time with a reserve of energy and a less stressed nervous system, we are able to be there for our child in a much more positive way. We recover more quickly and we make better decisions for us and our whole family.

5 Ways to Conquer the Diet Dilemma

Are you looking to lose weight in 2012? Are you dreading the thought of restrictive diets, hours of exercise, and counting every calorie? Have you already broken your diet and exercise New Year’s resolutions?

Going ON a strict diet or exercise program implies that eventually you will come OFF it. And then what? You’re right back to the eating habits and behaviors that caused you to gain weight in the first place. With such a vicious cycle, doesn’t it sometimes seem easier to keep on the weight?

The truth is, you don’t need restrictive diets, miserable exercise routines, obsessive calorie counting, or the subhuman willpower in order to lose weight and keep it off. These simple tips will help you get on the path to weight loss without discipline or denial.

1. Whole foods – Start eating more foods that are unprocessed and closest to their natural source, such as fresh organically-grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, brown rice, quinoa, whole oats, eggs, and fresh meat.  If in doubt about whether something is a whole food, a simple rule of thumb is “If it doesn’t have an ingredients list, it’s a whole food”. While preparing and cooking whole foods can seem daunting if you’re used to cooking out of a can or box, remember that anything that comes in a can or a box can be made into a whole foods recipe.  After all, it was made with whole foods before it came into that box! There are hundreds of recipe sites on the internet; just search for a simple cook-from-scratch version of the dish.  Examples I’ve found in the past are simple ground beef stroganoff, sloppy joes (great with ground beef or lentils), and taco seasoning. Not only will dishes with fresh ingredients taste better, but they’ll be healthier too. Boxed and canned food is loaded with sodium, preservatives, mysterious “spices” (often hidden MSG), and many other chemicals additives. The more you can incorporate whole, natural foods into your diet, including a mix of both raw and cooked foods, the better you’ll feel and the more weight you’ll lose.

2. Movement – Does the word “exercise” make you cringe? Does it conjure up images of women in leg warmers, a super-fit instructor screaming orders to the jiggly, out-of-shape crowd in front of her, or endless situps and jumping jacks? The good news is that it’s not necessary to incorporate a strenuous and/or difficult exercise program into your life in order to lose weight. However, it IS necessary to incorporate movement into your daily routine. People often avoid exercise because it’s work. Our ancestors didn’t run marathons or spend hours doing P90X to get in shape. They got exercise by working in the fields, walking everywhere they went, and doing everything by hand rather than by machines. In this age of convenience, tv and video games, and jobs that keep us indoors and sitting all day, we’ve become a sedentary society. Therefore, we have to be a bit more creative with our forms of movement. If you’re not used to doing much, start slow. Walk 20-30 minutes a day, take the stairs instead of the elevator (even if you just walk one flight then take the elevator the rest of the way), attend a yoga, Pilates, or a dance class. The key is to try different things until you find what you like, and then start slow so that you don’t burn out before you build up a routine.

3. Stress inventory – Unless you’re overeating, your body is not supposed to hold on to more fat than is necessary for survival. However, when you’re chronically stressed, your body isn’t functioning properly and therefore is in survival mode. Your body holds on to the fat it should be burning in an effort to protect you. The result is that you end up gaining weight, especially when you’re not doing any regular movement or exercise and you’re not eating whole foods. Take an honest inventory of your stress level. If you are chronically stressed, you must give yourself a break in order to lose weight and keep it off. Of course, this is easier said than done, right? If you were good at reducing stress, you’d have done it already! But small steps can help. Where does most of your stress originate? Kids, job, spouse, illness in yourself or a loved one?

Identify your points of stress so that you can find ways to make them less stressful. Since doing what you’ve been doing isn’t working, brainstorm ways that you could do things differently. Better yet, have someone else do this with you and keep an open mind. Don’t immediately write off suggestions; someone outside the situation may have a clearer, unbiased view of it. Once you’ve identified your most stressful areas and some suggestions, put together a clear plan to make incremental, but important, changes. Give them a chance to work.

It may also be helpful to incorporate relaxation techniques, such as yoga, meditation, spiritual practice, a hot bath, or anything that helps you find peace and calm. Avoid the excuse that you don’t have time for these things. Just 5-10 minutes of self care a day can make a huge difference in your whole mindset. You can’t effectively take of other people, tasks, and responsibilities if you’re not taking care of YOU. If you’ve tried all these things with no relief, you might consider a stress support supplement, such as Rhodiola or an adrenal support supplement to help support your body in letting go of the stress.

4. Love yourself – You might wonder what loving yourself has to do with losing weight. Well, as it turns out, everything. The connection between mind and body has repeatedly been proven:  how you feel about yourself is reflected in your outward appearance and behaviors. If you feel you don’t deserve to have a comfortable, appropriate body weight, then you won’t. This may be hard to swallow, but listen to your self-talk sometime. What do you tell yourself about you? Do you say “I’m so stupid, clumsy, ugly, or fat”? Do you think you’re a bad parent, friend, spouse, employee, neighbor, etc.? And how has this served you so far? All this negativity and lack of self-love that you heap on yourself is carried in your body somewhere. Some people drink or do drugs, some people have chronic illness or disease, some people carry too much weight. Start down a better path by first changing your self-talk. Pay attention to the things you say to yourself. When you catch yourself saying something hurtful, stop yourself, and immediately turn it into something positive. Even if you don’t believe it at the moment. Keep repeating good things about yourself, to yourself, on a daily basis. It can be as simple as “I love myself.  I’m perfect just the way I am.” Because you are. And when you believe that, the weight will come off much more quickly.

5. Get support – If all this seems too good to be true, you might benefit from some extra support. Grab a friend , family member, or co-worker to join you on your weight loss journey. A partner provides accountability, which keeps you inspired when it’s tough. Also, find support in reading (or audio books if you prefer). Authors such as Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson, and Geneen Roth are extremely inspirational in the areas of weight loss and loving yourself. For more personalized support, a personal trainer can develop an exercise plan with your specific needs in mind. And finally, a health coach can provide support in setting and achieving goals in all these areas. A health coach will listen carefully and help you to navigate the world of contradictory nutrition advice to determine what changes are necessary for you to be your best self, inside and out.

#LGNeoChef cooks to perfection!!

Ingredients (serves 2 | makes 2 serves)

  • 500g rump steak, cubed
  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbs tomato puree
  • 200ml beef stock
  • 60ml red wine, or I use extra beef stock
  • 50g sliced mushrooms - I add way more!
  • 150ml sour cream (add more if you add more dry ingredients)

  1. Place steak, flour and all other ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. Cover with lid, or plastic wrap
  2. Place food in the oven. Choose the menu and weight, press start to cook to perfection! In a NeoChef it is Casserole 1-4
  3. After cooking, stand covered for three minutes, then serve with rice, veg, pasta, whatever!!

Notes... This is an incredible recipe straight from the LG cookbook!!

Lyndey Milan, one of Australia’s most loved celebrity cooks with a long-standing reputation for supporting local growers, has joined the legion of famous faces to fly the flag for Aussie macadamias.

Thanks to Lyndey’s love of our finest nut and the growers who work around the clock to produce them, Aussies can now have their own ‘macadamia moment’ with family and friends, recreating this delicious recipe for loved ones at Christmas.

This recipe is as easy as it is delicious. The macadamia crust dresses up the salmon for Christmas entertaining. On a hot day you could serve the couscous cold, dressed with a little macadamia oil and squeeze of lemon.

Ingredients (serves 8)

  • 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
  • 1 3/4 tablespoons coriander seeds
  • 1 2/3 cups raw macadamias
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 3/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 3/4 tablespoons cumin seeds
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons macadamia nut oil
  • 8 x 180-200g salmon fillets, skin on
  • lemon cheeks, to serve
  • mixed salad leaves, to serve
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 cups instant couscous
  • 2 cups chicken stock, hot
  • 3/4 cup toasted macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

  1. Preheat the oven to 180’C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Process black pepper and coriander seeds until roughly chopped. Add macadamias, sesame, coconut, spices and salt and process until crumbly. Add macadamia oil and blend to combine. Place salmon fillets skin down on the baking tray and press the crust on top, about 1 cm in thickness.
  3. Place the salmon in the pre-heated oven for 7 minutes. Remove, turn on fan grill and place under hot grill for one minute to fully brown the crust. The crust should be golden and the inside of the salmon still pink. Roast for longer if you want it cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile for the couscous, combine garlic and couscous in a medium bowl and pour over hot stock and cover with a clean cloth. After 5 minutes fluff couscous with a fork to break up into grains. Stir through the macadamias and parsley.
  5. Serve salmon with macadamia couscous, lemon cheeks and green salad, if desired.

We don't know much of anything about the upcoming 'Superman' film for certain, except that Zack Snyder is directing it and Henry Cavill will don the iconic red and blue tights. That hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning out numerous casting stories in the past week, including two intriguing, but most likely improbable, gossip bits about who might appear alongside the Man of Steel.

First up is news from THR's Heat Vision blog. Their sources are saying that Snyder and producer Christopher Nolan have marked 'Lord of the Rings' star Viggo Mortensen as a person of interest to play the villainous General Zod.

Zod, who originally appeared in the comics, is best known as the lead baddie in 'Superman II,' where he was portrayed by Terence Stamp. Mortensen would make for an interesting choice, for sure, although we can't shake the feeling it feels a bit safe.

Mortensen isn't a lock for the part at this point, plus he's still in the running for Universal's 'Snow White and the Huntsman.' If he lands that part, it seems unlikely that he'd be able to shoot both it and 'Superman' -- at least not without major scheduling shifts.

Hit the jump for more casting rumors.

There are precious few people who have a voice perfect for talking about movies. And, as it turns out, Ben Falcone is one of them. Sort of.

'Tammy' Unscripted - Ben's Mr. Moviefone Audition

During our latest Unscripted for his new movie, "Tammy" (out now), we asked Falcone if he would do his best Mr. Moviefone impression. Now, we didn't expect him to mimic the voice exactly, but what he did instead proved to be better than what we could have imagined.

If the next Mr. Moviefone needs to be low energy, non-threatening, and completely vague, he's our guy.

"Tammy" is in theaters now.

Fur Quits Round 4 - BumGrapesOfWrath's Book

(10 Posts)
NoKnownAllergies Sat 01-Jun-13 11:06:04

C.P. is an unusual writer. I have read other books of his and find they do take a certain amount of time to get into. However, I think the perseverance is key and often at the end I will be glad I bothered. I did not manage to finish this book as I was conscious they came late and I did not want to hold up the flow. I have ordered a copy for my kindle though and will finish it at my leisure.

headintheclouds Sun 14-Apr-13 22:34:39

im sorry but Im with Pascha on this one. I just couldnt read it..I really did try but the vile descriptions of the hurricane fence at the beginning just put me right off! I have never read anything like this before and am unlikely to in the future. I didnt think I was easily turned off but the graphic descriptions were just horrible and I couldnt see the point of being that gratuitous ..Sorry .Im afraid Ive sent it on without completing.

Lightshines Mon 11-Mar-13 15:02:28

I am sorry but my brain could not cope with this - I found the style quite challenging and disjointed, although I think that is meant to be in keeping with the world he is describing.
I have heard of 'Fight Club' by the same author and someone in this thread described this CP novel as being reminiscent of 'Oryx & Crake' (which I loved) but this was too graphic to bear comparison.
Glad this book has crossed my path, which is why I love the Book Club, but this one did not work out for me.

itsatiggerday Wed 06-Feb-13 15:52:38

Agree with those who said this wasn't something they would have picked up! I had found it pretty hard going and really had to persevere to finish it. But I hate not finishing books.... I found the style quite uncomfortable to begin with although in the end I really liked the way that it kept the narrative going so intertwined from so many characters.

But I have to say the last quarter just made my head explode. In a kind of sick way. And given I was reading it before bed each night, I was too tired to really untangle it. Having considered it in daylight there are some plot holes in the theory which kind of undermine it for me. But it was interesting! I actually preferred the middle section once I'd understood the little sun/moon icons as a futuristic social commentary on the government of overcrowding in developed nations and sort of wished it had pursued that angle instead.

RhinestoneCowgirl Tue 16-Oct-12 13:04:56

Just finished the book last night, sat up to finish it in fact which is not something I've done for while. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have picked this up myself, so thanks bumgrapesofwrath for introducing me to something new.

I really enjoyed it, lots of ideas in there, and lots of black humour. Did take me a while to get started as it is pretty graphic up front which almost made me put it down, but glad I didn't. Agree with Cersei about the plot veering off in the last quarter, it did make me want to go back and reread. It made me think of Oryx & Crake by Atwood a little, some similar themes.

Housewifefromheaven Wed 03-Oct-12 10:55:04

I thought this was an ok book. Different. The style won't be to everyone's taste but that is the thing with the author, you either like him or you don't.

3 stars grin

Pascha Mon 01-Oct-12 17:25:24

I'm afraid I didn't warm to this at all, I couldn't make myself read past about page 10. I tried very hard but its just not my type of thing so I sent it on without finishing blush.

BumgrapesofWrath Thu 19-Jul-12 00:18:52

Ace - so glad you enjoyed it! Must admit I have been having second thoughts since I sent it, I thought everyone might hate it! I am a bit of a fan of the author but I know it's not to everyone's taste (especially as some bits can be quite explicit).

Will send on the next book this weekend!

Cersei Thu 12-Jul-12 15:06:44

Really wasn't sure about this one when I opened my parcel! The book uses an oral history style of writing which took me a little getting used to.

It is a very unusual futuristic story and the plot took off in a different direction in the last quarter of the book. It makes me want to read the beginning again to make better sense of it and see if the hints were there that maybe I missed.

I have to say although it is a book I would never have picked up in a million years I really enjoyed it, thanks Bumgrapes!

High-quality audio recording for today's iOS.

Turn your favorite iOS device into a field recorder by plugging in a Zoom iQ6-the world's first stereo X/Y microphone with a Lightning connector. Capture the sound of concerts, interviews, meetings and lectures with precision and full fidelity, then share your creations with the world.

Capture the Moment
The compact and lightweight iQ6 allows you to create high-quality recordings wherever you go. Whether it's a podcast on the fly, an impromptu concert or a sound effect you want to incorporate into your next video, you can count on your iQ6 to capture the moment with superior audio.

Microphone In, Headphone Out
The iQ6's large analog-type MIC GAIN wheel and three-segment level LEDs ensure that you'll always get great audio in every environment-from quiet meetings to loud concerts-with crystal clarity and no signal overload. The iQ6's dedicated headphone jack-which doubles as a line output-enables direct monitoring during both recording and playback.

X/Y Stereo for Versatility and Realism
The iQ6 features two high quality unidirectional condenser microphones in anX/Y configuration-the same ones used in our world-famous H4n Handy Recorder. X/Y stereo recording is a great way to cover a wide area while still capturing sound sources in the center with clarity and definition. You can even change the mic angle from 90 degrees for a tightly focused image to 120 degrees for immersive wide-angle stereo.

Extended Connector, Removable Spacer
The iQ6 comes with an extended Lightning connector and removable spacer that allows it to be used with most iPhone, iPad and iPod cases. Simply plug your iQ6 in and start making great-sounding stereo recordings!

The Zoom Handy Recorder App
Zoom's Handy Recorder app, available for free from the iTunes App Store, provides a wealth of tools for your iQ6 and iOS device. In addition to offering onscreen level metering, it enables you to set the iQ6 headphone volume, aswell as adding an automatic recording function-handy for capturing the sound of meetings, speeches, and other situations where you don't want to miss a thing. Choose linear PCM format for the highest quality sound or AAC format to conserve storage space, then apply compression, EQ and reverb effects to your recordings. Handy Recorder even allows you to email your files to friends and to upload them to SoundCloud for sharing with the world.

Expanded Compatibility for Enhanced Creativity
Take your creations to a whole new level with the iQ6. It works not only with Apple's Voice Memo and Garageband, but with most apps that support input from an external microphone. Use the iQ6 with voice recognition apps to add high-quality audio; with streaming apps to broadcast live performances; and with music apps to record vocals and instruments in full range stereo.

More residents say PG&E will strip their yards

Original post made on Aug 31, 2012

A group of residents who live in a Rock Street condo complex are joining a chorus of complaints from Mountain View residents about PG&E's plans to strip backyards where major gas lines exist.

"PG&E wants to remove all the trees that shade his yard and seven other households because they are over major gas lines 132 and 109, and could damage the line and cause an explosion."

I'm sorry, but this makes sense. That _is_ the reality of the situation; a situation that must be rectified. It stinks that the 8 property owners are being blindsided, but I'm sure restitution can be made. I think the safety of the general public is worth a little shade.
Sometimes there's no solution where everyone can win, but I prefer my gas lines un-ruptured from invasive roots. Ever see what even small roots can do to a sewer line? Lets do what we demand PG&E does: Make public safetey Priority #1

If the trees are removed and new pipe put in...
What happens then?
Will the home owners be allowed plant new trees over the same spot or will they told they can't plant trees because they have a gas line in that spot?

It would annoy me if I couldn't have trees to shade my home from the hot sun.

I would think re-routing the gas line would make it safer for the homes 30+ years in the future... especially if planting new trees in the same location above the gas line again.

Something is going on here. Either these people don't read the papers they sign when they buy these homes.. or PG&E doesn't actually have an easement.

If you buy a place and don't read all the paperwork.. that's your fault. I own a home with a PG&E easement along the back of the yard for the power lines. It was there when I bought it.. it was up to me to accept it or not.

Now if PG&E doesn't have an easement them tell them to go pound sand. Somehow I don't think PG&E would be so stupid though.

Company History & Background

Established since 1998, MXM International Sdn Bhd (MXM), a committed member of Malaysian Direct Distribution Association (MDDA) has positioned itself as one of the major players in providing quality healthcare management and medical protection. As part of Kam Holdings conglomerate and the associate company of PATHLAB, MXM now has more than 30,000 members throughout Malaysia, and will continue to grow under the strong leadership of its Group President and C.E.O. Dato’ Marcus Kam, Chief Operating Officer Mr Sam Tang and its committed senior management team.

Determined to provide the best healthcare protection to meet the ever evolving consumer needs, MXM has constantly pioneered various series of quality Healthcare Membership Program. The latest of its innovative product is known as “MediSavers 3 Generations Family Plan,” the first of its kind in Malaysia to cover three generations in a family. Under this plan, family members will enjoy exclusive annual discounts, and will receive a comprehensive blood screening voucher that comes with cancer marker test. The health test can be conducted at any of our Pathlab branches nationwide.

MXM through its associate company Pathlab Health Management (M) Sdn Bhd (PHM), in partnership with a well known insurer Lonpac Insurance Bhd in July 2015, has successfully charted a milestone in the medical insurance industry. It boldly introduces the very first 100 years Hospitalisation & Surgical Insurance plan in Malaysia, allowing its members to enjoy guaranteed renewal until year 2115. The plan is specifically designed to be distributed exclusively to members of MXM and Pathlab group of companies.

MXM members can also opt for a deductible plan, which is another innovative product in Malaysia that offers Guarantee Letter facility for admissible hospitaliation, subject to policy terms.

Thanks to Asia Assistance Network (AAN), a renowned 24-hour Worldwide Emergency Medical Assistance Service provider, MXM members will enjoy an absolute peace of mind, and will be assured of receiving the best medical assistance and care while they are hospitalised. MXM is proud that it has assisted its members in more than 19,000 Hospitalisation & Surgical cases to date.

Increasing the effectiveness of call centres
Share this content

Connectivity through networks

Call centres are making use of networks (such as the Internet and LANs) to enable customer service agents and their customers to share files on a computer.

An example of this phenomenon can be seen in the way in which customers of The Container Store can input preliminary design information through the web site. A Container Store agent converts this information into a design and then posts a draft on a special web page for the customer to review. The customer views the web page and then requests changes to the design via an online bulleting board system. The agent makes further changes until the customer has the right design and is ready to purchase.'s "Shop With An Agent" feature allows a Travelocity agent to guide the customer through the online shopping experience. The customer calls the agent and requests that the agent sees the customer's web browser and pushes relevant web pages as she shops.

At PSE&G, New Jersey's electric and gas utility provider, computer technicians use the company's network to remotely access, maintain and repair their client's computer.

The arrival of text chat

Companies are implementing technology that enables text chat between the customers and customer service agents. This is especially evident where valuable customers and/or high margin products such as travel are involved. Some believe that text chat will be the next killer e-commerce function and that it will be widespread by the end of 2001.

American Airlines is implementing its text chat/shared browser function as an added service to top-tier members of its AAdvantage frequent flyer program. Alaska Airlines intends to position text chat strategically - on pages where customers are abandoning their online bookings.,, and are already using text chat for either reservations and/or customer service. has been the most vocal about the success of its text chat system. It has been reporting an 18 per cent look-to-book ratio - more than nine times the e-commerce average. Furthermore, it claims that its live web agents are eight times more productive than typical phone agents.

Voice is still king

In many industries and companies the main interaction channel between the customer and the company is still voice over the telephone line. Why? Quite simply, talking is the most natural form of communication for most human beings. Additionally, the human agent at her best is adept in providing information, solving problems quickly, and providing reassurance that many customers seek.

Despite a comprehensive FAQ section on the web site, The Container Store takes as many as 500 general inquiries a day, concerning product make up, what colour it comes in, and how to assemble it once it has been purchased.

Biztravel has noticed that its customers prefer the phone for more complex enquiries: hence it is no surprise to learn that around 5 per cent of inbound contacts are via text chat, 15 per cent via e-mail, and 80 per cent via phone. SBC Communications (a telephony company) reports that the majority of its customers are calling in because they want the personal touch, especially when they are discussing their phone bills.

Deliver value, minimise costs

Fearful of being labelled as just a "cost centre", customer service managers are looking into positioning the multitude of interaction channels (phone, IVR, email, text chat, web-site etc) in a customer friendly and cost-efficient manner. In many cases this means that the more expensive interaction channels such as the phone, call me buttons, and text chat, are reserved for high value customers and high margin products. On the other hand, low value customers are 'encouraged' to use the lower cost interaction channels such as the IVR and the web site.

Powerful software applications

Companies are putting into place powerful software applications - both operational and analytic - to enable both better interactions with customers and to better manage the performance of the CICs.

For example, Bissel (an established home care and carpet cleaning company) implemented Onyx e-CRM in order to better interact with customers and to learn more about them.

PSE&G (the electric and gas utility) is planning to migrate to Teloquent's new Interchange product. This product brings together media such as telephony, e-mail, text chat and Internet self-help - enabling the CIC manager to perform centralised administration and activity reporting.

Applications need to be integrated

In many cases call centre managers have woken up to the need for new CIC applications to integrate with a multitude of other technologies that are present in call centres. In short, this means that these applications must be open and easily integrated with customer databases, product databases, data mining tools, personalisation engines, e-mail management applications, etc.

Bissel found it quite a challenge to integrate its Onyx e-CRM application and associated customer database with the Bissel product database in order that customers could be provided with order status and product availability in real time.

Well-trained employees are critical

The move from call centres (voice) to CICs is placing a premium on the acquisition (hiring), growth (training) and retention of the right employees. More and more managers are saying that well trained employees are the most critical factor to success. Accordingly, companies are providing their customer service agents with continual training in new hardware and software, as well as the softer customer facing skills.

The Container Store's customer service agents have an average of four years experience with the company. Fortune magazine has reported that The Container Store loses only 28 per cent of its staff compared with an industry average of 73.6 per cent. Company executives attribute the success of the company to a culture of employee satisfaction.

Separation of offline and online service

Between 33 and 50 per cent of clicks and mortar companies are either establishing separate CICs or outsourcing their online customer service. Companies have given a number of reasons including: online customers having distinct needs and communication preferences; too expensive to transform call centres and replace legacy systems; and bypassing unions.

E-commerce sites are experimenting with e-service
Online companies are implementing state of the art online customer service technologies. These include live video and audio interaction, voice over Internet virtual sales agents that guide shoppers and animated voice navigators. Only time will tell how useful these technologies will be - both to customers and to the companies implementing these technologies.
