Your thoughts toward to me. And i cant breath. I close my eyes, and i feel you behind me. Your chest against my back. Some whispers and we enter in ours parellel world in a moment. What i'm feeling in these istants, is bigger than my heart and i think it may explode at any time. You with your deep voice say me 'Take a breath' and at the same, you turn me round. Now in front, i see your eyes into mine. And you take my hand and you put it on your chest, and slowly you make slide it in your shirt. I feel your skin. Breathless i close my eyes to dont drive crazy. A little rustle. Your smell arounds me. Slowly i open my eyes and i see you looking at me. You take my blushed face, and slowly you approach to me. Face to face, eyes in eyes, the only thing you do is touch on my lips in a kiss so passionately sweet. You kissing, me, im flying.

Darryl / Dadou / Baron Wawa
Darryl / Dadou / Baron Wawa is a Port-au-Prince born Haitian-American who studied Photography and Creative Writing. He enjoys chocolate and good books. That said, maybe a movie is a good book. He loves to work with images and words and their pairing.
Oyster, enter mouth
sushi enter mouth
Why does the metaphor
want water and sex?
The author is a master of proportion, a noteworthy quality, so that the bulk of the main theme (loss) and the other themes are revealed almost like video fades. The lines are clear, simple, precise, eloquent and politely unforgiving.
Impulse and Warp nobly attempts the impossible: to describe the chaos of time with respect. The poems can't be rushed and aren't easy on first impression. The syntax fucks itself, breaks up, then comes back to show that even grammar is relative.
pins drop over the city
the wind whistles
to no verdict
Take me sleep
protect me, like angel music
You taught me the pleasure
of petty crime
of sneaking away
with a glass full of wine
Ironically, these seemingly cynical poems invite us to dig under the rainbow and see the flesh, the teeth, the hard truth of death; and the result is a beautifully complex twister of problems I want to solve.
Compared to the first book, the poems have become increasingly creepy, and the "murderer" more vivid. The story inches closer to a horror film, that scene when protagonists find out unpleasant secrets, searching in the shade.
"What do I do, knowing that I need impulses to live?" seems to be the question the book poses through narrative play, a juxtaposition of the main persona's perspective and murderer's influence.
The news is presented grosso modo, but the pleasure and humor in the work is in the poetry more than the facts and in how Beau Blue's specific word choices play on how one had perceived the events.
The title is ironic, playing on infinity and the number 8: if cats had nine lives, then we'd have one less, 9-1. The foreverness of loss. Are we lucky or unlucky to fall in love? Passions and thrills, heartaches and grief, walk hand in hand.
The identity in of the author is quite certain and solid, grounded in local pleasures, tastes, weather and emotions. The questions that these poems ask are valuative, a weighing of what matters.
Internet. Information. Rain pouring into
the glass cunt of my mind
Momma always said I told you so
before beating the glass
The book is a psychological sci-fi filled with non-sensical gadgets, absurd dialogue, and all out madness, a batlle royale of good against evil, of womanhood against male perversion that follows William Burroughss Naked Lunch in reverse, if we consider the gender roles of the protagonists.
The poet here is playing with the impression of snow, bringing us back to our senses, the cold felt through an open palm. She creates a hot and cold sensation with the beautifully contrasting images of cold and tropical weather through the specifics of snow and a tropical tree shaped like a hand.
It is at its core, a criticism of the innate sexist culture of Sri Lanka and the poems vibrate with action, gesture, and compassion, describing horrible realities. However I have to note that, sadly, there are too many faults of language, concision and sentimentality.

- Senator Bruno called a press conference to complain about what he sees as a lack of progress in his negotiations with Governor Spitzer and Assembly Speaker Silver on settling the franchise issue before the Dec 31 deadline. But the New York Times was having none of it. Bruno Won't Talk About Role at Firm reads the headline of their account of the testy session with reporters. That refers to the story that the Paper of Record reported over the weekend; that Bruno is employed by Wright Investors' Service, a Connecticut-based investment firm at which some state unions, including a number of local branches in and around Mr. Bruno's upstate district, have tens of millions of dollars invested.
It's the latest appearance, at the very least, of conflict between Bruno's role as Senate Majority Leader and his outside business interests. Bruno must be quite an energetic guy for his, or any age. Leading his Senate Majority, flying around in state helicopters, hitting the punching bag at the gym, sitting in his box at Saratoga, spewing profanity at the Governor, launching investigations....and he has the time to conduct so much personal business as well! What the hell does he do for Wright Investors anyway ? Well, we don't know, because neither the company nor Bruno would specify beyond a vague description of "business development."
Presumably that does not mean using his influence in Albany to persuade and encourage unions to invest their monies at Wright, from whom he's been collecting a paycheck since the mid-90's. The Times notes that Mr. Bruno has cultivated ties to labor unions that are unusually close for a Republican, and has become personally involved in advocating for their positions. But Bruno as usual denied any impropriety, noting that he has "been accused of nothing wrong, not ethically, not morally and not legally." Well, I guess it depends on who is doing the accusing. I guess the liberal rags like the Times and Times-Union don't count in his mind.
Regarding the franchise, Bruno's comments belie the impression given by some recent news stories that an agreement is near. With the Governor in the city for a Monday night fundraiser (with the Head Chef on staff in the kitchen), Bruno attempted to shift the blame for any delay on Spitzer and Sheldon Silver.
"I'm saying to this Governor, get your priorities straight. I'm saying to the Speaker, get your priorities straight. We are at the finish line. This is the last furlong of a race here in this state. The last furlong. I don't know how long the race has been, it's been one of the longest races that I know of, we've been going on three years trying to get it done." [Capital News 9]But the issue no longer revolves around which entity will operate the franchise, as Bruno has apparently accepted that it will be NYRA. And Tom Precious reports in Bloodhorse that Spitzer has quietly elicited the resignation of the NYRA Board of Directors, one of Bruno's main demands. "We can certainly live with something like that,'' Bruno said of a reconstituted NYRA board.
However, the Senator still objects to the 30 year length of the extension, and wants NYRA to give up control of establishing simulcasting agreements, as well as their tote and marketing operations.
Allies of NYRA in Albany, however, say such an idea would be unworkable by taking major decision-making – and likely money – out of NYRA's hands for such lucrative components such as simulcasting. [Bloodhorse]That would be like, say, an investment company giving up its lucrative business from powerful NY state unions. VLT's at Belmont has emerged a key sticking point, as Silver appears to have dug in on this issue, one in which he doesn't appear to have any apparent vested interest other than the fact that the other two guys support it. It's probably merely a bargaining chip to be played in a grand deal involving numerous issues at the end of the year. And in fact, Silver has said that the franchise is not a top legislative priority.
In a [long] story on Spitzer in this week's New Yorker, Bruno called Silver the "biggest wimp in the world." "He says I called him a wimp and I did...You can't be sensitive in this business. Step up. Show leadership." [Journal News] And Bruno told reporters that it's been "three or four months" since he had a "substantive" conversation with Spitzer.
"His priorities are illegal aliens about to have licenses so they, some of them, can go terrorize people and go into public buildings and planes and go get guns." [NY Times]Yeah Joe, that's just what the Governor wanted, I'm sure. It's a wonder that anything gets done when you read idiotic, and in the latter case, xenophobic bluster like that. But Bruno has his constituency in Saratoga to answer to, and he acknowledged that that puts him in a weakened position. "Maybe it's [Spitzer and Silver] jamming me on a personal level." They'd be fools not to take advantage of that, and Bruno knows it. So despite the increasing enmity and harsh talk, the three will manage to get something done on the franchise before the end of the year. It's still in the bag.

The trail leaves Dorog behind and returns to the world of mountains. Although your hike to the next settlement is not among the most spectacular ones the view over the rocks of Pilis may provide some compensation. It takes a short detour to visit the center of Kesztölc with its narrow winding streets and wine cellars as the trail leads directly to the slope of Öreg-szirt and returns to the road to Klastrompuszta through a calcareous shrubland and a grassy path.
The trail passes Klastrompuszta with the ruins of a monastery founded by Pauline monks in the 13th century and arrives at Piliscsév along a hollow track in loess. Just like Kesztölc the village was re-inhabited after the Turkish rule in the early-18th century by Slovakian immigrants. Past the village the trail runs across fields, mixed forests and groves to Piliscsaba.
This is a relatively level traverse near Pilis so visiting lookouts takes some short detours. These may include Kémény-szikla with a view back on Gerecse or the "Jenga Tower" near Piliscsaba with a view over the area between Pilis and Buda Hills.

Detailed description
Dorog – Klastrompuszta
Cross the rails at Dorog railway station through the underpass. On the other side turn right onto Munkás Street. Past the Reformed Church continue along Köztársaság Street and exit the town along Kesztölci Street. Walk up to the trackbed of the abandoned railroad (It used to be a railroad to transport sand to local coalmines from nearby pits, e.g. Palatinus Pond for shaft backfilling.
The trail follows the trackbed until the last houses of Dorog and soon crosses Kenyérmezői Creek. The trail continues towards Kesztölc with a view over Kétágú-hegy with white cliffs and shrubland. Cross Road 117 and enter Kesztölc. After hiking around 1.5 km along the streets you will leave the town by turning left from Esztergomi Street. The trail ascends to a plateau, crosses a paved road and ascends again to the slope of Kétágú-hegy. The Green (Z) trail leads to lookouts along the rim of the hill. Although this section of the hike neither traverses very high nor enters a majestic forest it presents a memorable experience along the Blue Trail through fields covered with feather grass and wild flowers and lined with white cliffs. The trail descends to the road to Klastrompuszta. In Klastrompuszta there are two stampers. One is placed at Tölgyfa Pub and another is further along the Blue (K) trail on a utility pole at the junction of Kémény Street and Klastrompuszta Street.
Klastrompuszta – Piliscsaba
Pilis hides spectacular attraction near Klastrompuszta. These include caves above the village (Entrance to Legény and Leány Caves with the third longest cavern behind) and the peak of Kémény-szikla, the highest cliff of Pilis with that a trail (Green + (Z+)) climbs to, with a scary view from a dizzying height on Klastrompuszta.
The trail begins a steep ascent. Past a mature oak (Szent Péter-fa) at the peak you will reach the edge of the forest and the trail starts to descend through Vad-föld towards Piliscsév with a view over Gerecse Mountains just opposite. You will arrive at Piliscsév on dirt track and the trail joins the main street at the church. Head left where the street bends right at the WW2 cemetery. Continue along Temető Street and turn left onto Szilvás Street. The trail exits the village and traverses among low hills adjoining Pilis. Ascend along a hollow track on the slope of Gyertyános Hill. Past the pine woods turn south towards Piliscsaba.
Hike through the outskirts of the village to reach the train stop (stamper on a utility pole at the three-way junction of Wesselényi, Árpád vezér and Kálmán király Streets at the rails).
Public transport friendly
Basic gear: hiking boots, seasonable wear, drinking water, food. Use Természetjáró app. to navigate.

My father-in-law says that, during his cancer treatment, he had to ask his spouse to stop being so nice to him - he was finding it disconcerting. His wife is a lovely woman and they seem to get along just fine, but I do take his point.
If food equals love, I am very loved indeed. My fridge, freezer and cupboards are bulging with wonderful food (both healthy and decadent). Friends have brought me flowers, books and a host of wonderful presents. I have been overwhelmed by this outpouring of support.
And I'm enjoying every minute of it.
I wonder if it will all stop once I tell how this business of having a mastectomy is not that bad after all.
The hardest part was saying goodbye to my spouse in the waiting room. Or rather several goodbyes. Before the nurse made him leave.
From then on, I was very well taken care of by everyone at the hospital - doctors, nurses, orderlies, volunteers. The hospital staff did everything they could to keep me warm and comfortable (heated blankets!). The surgeon came to see me to answer any final questions. He told me that he knew it was going to go well.
The last thing I remember after walking into the OR and climbing up on the table is a brief moment of panic (a nurse was arranging some very scary looking surgical instruments) before the anesthetist started asking about my kids and I relaxed and drifted off.
I woke up in the recovery room. I was thirsty. And hungry. And in pain. Water, crackers and Demerol were administered in short order and I lay there for some hours, oblivious to the passage of time.
My surgeon came in to check on me at some point and delivered the news that the tumour in my breast had not affixed itself to my chest wall (good news in terms of cancer treatment and recovery from surgery, as it meant that Dr. M. did not need to cut into my chest muscles).
By 3:15, eight hours after arriving at the hospital, I was on my way home.
I never thought I'd say this, but I now understand why mastectomies are done as day surgery. I was in my own bed, able to see my kids. I felt safe and, well, 'at home'. I'm sure this contributed to my recovery.
A home care nurse came the night of my surgery (administered another lovely shot of Demerol), the next day and one last time yesterday to change my bandage. Since the first day, I have managed with Tylenol 2s for pain (and I'm no hero when it comes to pain management).
And here's the most surprising part. It doesn't even look that bad. One incision. A neat row of staples that will be removed in a week's time. That's the upside of imagining the worst. When I screwed up the courage to take a peek after surgery, I fully expected to see a bloody stump where my breast used to be. Instead, there was just a single narrow bandage that ran the breadth of my chest. And it's healing well.
Today I even went out for lunch. With a baggy jacket on. No prosthethis until the healing is a little further along.
Right now, the worst I have to contend with is swelling in the area where the lymph nodes were removed and in my upper arm. It can still be painful but even that is getting better with time, elevation and exercise.
My surgeon should call in the next day or two with my pathology report (grade, stage, and the results of tests for hormone receptivity). I assume that I will be meeting an oncologist shortly after that and in a few weeks time, chemotherapy will start. I've already lined up a friend who spent many years bald by choice, to shave my head before chemo does its worst.
When I admitted to struggling with letting people do all these things for me, a friend said, "We are grateful to you. When something like this happens, people feel powerless. Helping makes us feel less powerless." That helped a lot. People are doing for me and for themselves. That makes it easier to accept.
I really believe that if I am doing well, it's because of all the caregivers in my life, at the hospital, at home and in my community. There are moments when this all seems too awful for words. My arm hurts. I'm exhausted. And scared. But it helps immeasurably to know that I am not going through this alone.
This is why I am also grateful to the friend who opened a phone conversation with, "Are you listing to one side?" Her girlfriend was appalled but I couldn't stop laughing. That was a gift, too.

Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett and J.P. Morgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon told CNBC the U.S. economy is in rare form and could continue to prove strong for years to come.
In an exclusive joint interview with CNBC's Becky Quick, Dimon and Buffett cited several aspects of the economy as reasons for optimism.
"Right now, there's no question: It's feeling strong. I mean, if we're in the sixth inning, we have our sluggers coming to bat right now," Buffett said in the "Squawk Box" the interview that aired Thursday.
"I'm no good at predicting out two or three or five years from now, although I will say this: There's no question in my mind that America's going to be far ahead of where we are now 10, 20 and 30 years from now," the 87-year-old billionaire added. "But right now, business is good. There's no question about it."
But Buffett cautioned that a strong economy doesn't necessarily mean it's a good time to buy stocks.
"The decision on the stock market should be made independent of the current business outlook," Buffett said. "I don't think you should buy stocks based on what you think the next six months or year is going to bring."
Dimon — who has been J.P. Morgan CEO since 2005 — echoed Buffett's positive comments on economic growth, saying that the current uptrend in business could last years.
"The way I look at it, there is nothing that is a real pothole," he said. "Business sentiment is almost at the highest level it's ever been, consumer sentiment is at its highest levels, markets are wide open, housing's in short supply and my guess is mortgage credit will expand a little bit."
The two business leaders spoke as indicators of economic health continued to show strength. The unemployment rate, for example, fell to an 18-year low of 3.8 percent, according to figures released Friday, while second-quarter growth may reach 4.5 percent, according to the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow tracker.

"If you look at how the table's set, consumers are in very good shape," Dimon said. "Their balance sheet, their incomes, wages are going up, their debt levels are low, all the credit written since the Great Recession is pristine, whether it's mortgage credit — other than student lending, which is done by the government."
"So," he concluded. "It looks pretty good."

Roberts at the double as Celtic break Hearts
Patrick Roberts scored a double as Celtic came from behind to claim a thrilling 3-1 win over Hearts on Saturday that extends their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to seven points.
Jamie Walker had fired Hearts in front after just five minutes but Celtic soon responded as Gary Mackay-Steven drilled home a 15th-minute equaliser.
On-loan Manchester City winger Roberts, making just his second start for Celtic, had the Hoops ahead with his first senior goal in the 35th minute before curling home his second of the match three minutes after the break.
Hearts' Juwon Oshaniwa was then ordered off in stoppage time after receiving his second yellow for a foul on Nir Bitton.
The result hands the Hoops an impressive advantage over Aberdeen, who play Hamilton Academical on Sunday, as they chase a fifth league title in a row, while Hearts remain on course to finish third despite a second straight defeat.
The visitors made a bright start at Celtic Park and were rewarded when Walker fired them into the lead.
The Hearts midfielder took advantage of some dithering Celtic defending to collect the ball before rifling an unstoppable shot beyond Craig Gordon and into the top corner.
Celtic's response was quick and the Hoops came close to an equaliser when Leigh Griffiths' ferocious free-kick looked to be flying in but Neil Alexander produced a superb save to push it round the post.
However, Hearts failure to deal with the resultant corner saw Celtic draw level.
The ball pinged about the box but when Juanma's header landed at Mackay-Steven's feet at the edge of the box the winger arrowed a low left-foot shot into the bottom corner.
The frantic pace of the match continued with Griffiths denied by an excellent block from Alexander before Arnaud Djoum dragged a shot wide for the Jambos.
Hearts skipper Alim Ozturk clipped the bar with a free-kick, Sam Nicholson fired wide and Juanma blazed a shot over the bar from close range as the visitors impressed.
They were left to rue those missed chances, however, as Roberts gave Celtic the lead.
Socceroo star Tom Rogic robbed Oshaniwa on the right wing and slid the ball through for Roberts, who dinked the ball over the advancing Alexander.
Tempers spilled over in the 40th minute after a clash of heads between Oshaniwa and Rogic, which resulted in the Hearts player being booked and left the Australian midfielder unable to continue.
In the resulting melee Griffiths and Prince Buaben were also given yellow cards for clashing on the half-way line.
Celtic started the second half in determined fashion and soon extended their advantage. Stefan Johansen teed up the winger, who cut in from the right before curling a left-foot effort round Alexander and into the bottom corner.
Alexander then nearly handed Celtic another as his dithering on the ball allowed Griffiths to charge down his attempted clearance but the ball squirmed narrowly wide, much to the keeper's relief.
Oshaniwa's rash challenge on Bitton three minutes into stoppage time earned the Hearts player his second booking as the Jambos finished with 10 men.

Have you ever wondered why the Google smartphone is so costly if other phones with the same feature are cheap?We think that Google is selling its phones costly, today I am just telling you about why this happens.
Google smartphone or another Android phone
When purchasing a smartphone from some other brand, you are purchasing an altered variant of Google's Android. Despite the fact that the OS acts as it ought to and has every one of the highlights Google gives, they display slight alterations that each organization make for their own advantages. Since they are adjusted, their code isn't as unadulterated as a Google smartphone. This implies there are things that will get bolted to you and you won't have any potential outcomes of changing them.
On the off chance that you are a software engineer, Google smartphones will enable you to make mods for your smartphone and for others. There is a considerable measure of mods on the web that will permit your Android telephone to accomplish more things that it would already be able to do, and the most effortless approach to fabricate something like this is by having a unique, unmodified adaptation of Google's Android.
Since Android is possessed by Google and smartphone brands need to adjust the first Android forms that Google's software engineers make, you will have the capacity to get the updates first on the off chance that you claim a Google smartphone. Now and then, new Android renditions can be deferred for over a year for your cell phone display, as each brand needs to make an alternate adaptation of their adjustments of Android for each of their telephone models. You can spare the agony of waiting such a great amount of time by owning a Google smartphone.
Because of this, the cost of Google smartphones is high and performance is good, and other companies do not offer good Android software to reduce the price and you do not get good Android service at a lower cost.

Retailers and restaurant chains are closing thousands of locations this year, but it's still nearly impossible to travel more than 10 miles without running into a Subway or McDonald's.
That's because there are nearly 30,000 Subway restaurants in the US — more than any other retail chain in America — and 14,155 McDonald's restaurants in the country.
Yum! Brands — the owner of Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut — also has a strong showing with more than 17,500 restaurants in the US.
The growth of these chains and others is part of what has helped the US become the most over-retailed country in the world.
The US has 23.5 square feet of retail space per person, compared with 16.4 square feet in Canada and 11.1 square feet in Australia, the next two countries with the most retail space per capita, according to Morningstar Credit Ratings.
Here's a list of the most ubiquitous chains in America, starting with Subway, according to the National Retail Federation and Statista.

Hi Van,
I really like the graphic effect of this image, very good eye to see this. I think it also may look great in black and white with some contrast to emphasise the pattern even more. But I really like this and a very good idea. Welcome to TE!

Funny, and also interesting. Definitely they did not plan in advance how to cable those poles !

I have always thought of the United States as a great country, a caring country, a country that looked out for those who were in need. Today I was given a wake up call. Today the House of Representatives passed the American Health Care Act on strictly party lines.
As this bill is written the top two percent of the wages earners in the country will share in a three hundred million tax break while many of the sick, poor and elderly will either lose their health care or be faced with paying several times what they have been paying for less care.
Have we become so callous that we no longer care for our own people? Have we become so immoral and self centered that we only look out for number one? Have we forgotten that most of the people that made this country great came here with nothing and through hard work and love of this country built it into what it is now?
We are becoming a two class society, the poor working class and the rich elite. This type of society will perish in time because without the poor working class the hard work will not get done, the dirty jobs will go undone, and the menial jobs will go undone.
A wise man once told me that the most important person in a company is not the boss; the most important person is the janitor because without him the company would grind to a halt in the refuse.
The decision makers in government have forgotten that the ones that keep this country great are the workers, the people that work long hard hours to try to better their state in life. They are the ones that stimulate the economy, pay the bulk of the taxes that keep the government going.
Latest Letters to the Editor
This administration hasn't got the slightest clue on how to "Make America Great Again". Every action they have taken so far has been in direct opposition to the millions of people that have worked so hard to insure the health, safety, and security of this country. The administration says we have too many rules and regulations and wants to do away with most of them. Every rule and regulation was put in place for the protection of the citizens. Rules keeping our air and water and environment safe and flourishing, rules to keep big business from taking advantage of the people so that they can reap a profit. Rules and regulations that insure that we are part of the global community that works together for the benefit of all nations while also providing for mutual assistance in times of crisis or war.
We need to wake up, get angry, speak out and resist what is being done to us, all of us not just number one.

The premier resource for tournament planners, rights holders and governing bodies is launching new Destination Videos in 2018.
Increasingly, video is driving purchase behavior. Fifty five percent of consumers watch online video daily, and 4 in 5 consider demo videos helpful when making purchase decisions.
Starting in January 2018, Sports Planning Guide (SPG) will be featuring videos across its platform. A new Destination Videos landing page will include up to 100 top sports destinations across North America. The page will feature flyover drone videos of unique sports venues and destination promotional videos, both desktop and mobile-friendly.
According to publisher Jeff Gayduk, "There's a substantial uptick in consumer preference for viewing video online. Matching that up with our destination advertisers makes perfect sense, thus giving them a new platform to promote their sports facilities in a new and exciting way. The end result is that we'll provide better tools for decision- making when our tournament and event planners evaluate destinations and facilities."
In addition to the Destinations Video landing page, clients of SPG can now embed video within their Site InSpection content marketing page at no additional cost. (See sample of embedded video in a Site Inspection.) A variety of promotional packages will also be available providing additional exposure, including on-site geo-targeting, e-newsletter and social media promotion.
All SPG clients are encouraged to submit their YouTube hosted video to firstname.lastname@example.com for placement. To discuss additional promotional opportunities, contact Dan Maloney (North East, Midwest, West) at 630.794.0696, email, or Eric Moore (South, Mid-Atlantic) at 352.391.3314, email.

(February 07, 1997): Remember Personnel Journal? They've renamed themselves and re-emerged as Workforce Magazine. They redesigned their website as part of the overhaul. While we prowled through their archives, we chanced upon an article called "How To Recruit Online" by Shannon Peters Talbott. It's based on an extensive interview with John Sumser and describes a small bit of the material in the 1997 Electronic Recruiting Index. We've included it in the archives as a part of the clippings collection.
Effective online recruiting isn't simply joining one of the major employment advertising distribution services. It isn't just opening a website. It isn't only posting jobs to usenet. They can be an effective component of your strategy.
Maximizing the value you receive from those services is another matter. Knowing which service to use (and when) requires continuous testing and adaptation.
A quick note about email....
Domain Names
(February 06, 1997): It's good news and bad news. Last night, a plan to expand the number of domain names was approved. When the new domains:
are implemented, there will be a slightly more rigorous process to deal with claims surrounding trademark and intellectual property issues.
The good news....If you were disappointed at not being able to call your domain "Job Smart", you'll have seven new opportunities to grab the name. That's also the bad news.
In a world that has 7 to 10 businesses operating with the same name that you use, there will be lots of opportunities for confusion. Traffic to your site will increasingly depend on the inbound links that you generate. These new domains essentially eliminate the advantage gained by naming and increase the difficulty of merging brand name and domain name.
We've included the full text of the Press Release describing the new domains in our archives. Have a couple of cups of coffee before you read it. It's written in deep Internet gobbledygook.
If you keep your eyes on the press over the next couple of days, the details of this new scheme should be widely reported.
A company called NETNAMES USA - International Domain Name Registry is taking orders for new names that will be processed as soon as the gates open. You can reach them at:
NETNAMES USA - International Domain Name Registry
The Tour Is The Start
(February 05, 1997): We're big fans of the Ziff-Davis AnchorDesk. The site behaves more like a magazine than most of the other pretenders. It oriented towards the cmputer industry, so it clearly isn't of interest to everyone. But, if you're trying to keep up with the mad swirl of technology, it deserves a bookmark.
Today's feature is called "Finding the Perfect Job On the Web". With lots of useful references (including downloadable tools for all platforms), the story is a near perfect introduction to Web Job Hunting. Take a peek.
We think it's interesting for a number of reasons. With the resources available to Web giants like Ziff-Davis and CMP, how long will it be before they recognize the revenue potential of Employment advertising and Recruiting.? Like other organizations with editorial resources, there are any number of logical entrants into the industry who simply haven't moved yet. All it takes to change the marketplace dynamics is a change of focus.
The piece also demonstrates how elegantly an introduction to Web Employment services can be executed. Simple tools, simple instructions.
EERI Awards: Best In Class
(February 04, 1997): Last week, we announced the 1997 EERI (Excellence in the Electronic Recruiting Industry Awards). There were 100 companies represented in 15 categories that emerged as a part of our research for the 1997 Electronic Recruiting Index.
Today, we are pleased to announce the "Best in Class" for each of the categories. All of the EERI Award winners demonstrate the future of Electronic Recruiting. The Best in Class winners stand out, in the minds of our judges and juries, as this year's best in the business.
(February 03, 1997): Steve Outing regularly covers the impact of the Web on the Newspaper Industry for Editor and Publisher Interactivein a thrice weekly column, "Stop The Presses". The Friday, Jan 31 column is a lengthy piece covering the impact of Electronic Recruiting on the classified advertising business. It includes a mention of our 1997 Electronic Recruiting Index.
According to one source, Employment advertising accounts for $4.8 Billion in newspaper revenues. On one level, Electronic Recruiting can be seen as a direct assault on that revenue stream.
Partnering the Niche
(February 02, 1997): The Monster Board continues to gain momentum. Their most recent market venture is a partnership with Advertising Age. The Advertising Age Job Bank tries to streamline the job search process for marketing, advertising and creative types. Related career materials include a salary survey, counseling, resume tips, and offer evaluation hints.
From a recruiter's perspective, this partnership creates a very important employment advertising outlet for the Ad Industry. It's an easy to use tool that reaches advertising professionals where they work.
More significantly, the partnership announces the coming of age of Electronic Recruiting. It is a large feather in the cap of the Monster board team. By partnering with one of the major Ad industry trade journals, they've demonstrated the viability of employment ads as a revenue stream to a much larger audience. As the ad industry begins to understand the revenue potentials of online recruiting, we expect to see an influx of similar partnerships with other professional journals.
1997 Electronic Recruiting Index
(January 20, 1997): Over the past 75 days, we've been slaving over the new edition of the Electronic Recruiting Index. Yesterday, we shipped the finished product to our (very patient) prepublication customers. The book is a wonder to behold in two volumes. It includes:

Had me cousin on the blower the other day. Figured that, bein' a farmer/grazier, I'd have me head 'round utes. And bein' a bit of a hoon in me yoof, I'd have me head around big-motored V8 utes.
This feature was originally published in MOTOR's March 2004 issue
He's on the money, too. V8 utes are a sprog rocket, mainly, and me and me mates outgrew 'em yonks ago. Out here, proper utes are Cruisers and Patrols and HiLuxes and stuff – it's muddy when it rains, bulldust when it doesn't.
Don't get me wrong – a V8 ute's a hoot around a B&S recovery session, but I don't go to B&Ss much any more. Missus'd go crook at me.
He's a disappointment to the family, really, that cousin of mine. The rest of his mob are proper farmer/graziers like m'self, builders, doctors and the like. Not him, always flittin' about in flash cars and bludging off the world. But he used to have some idea before the city turned him into a poof, and he reckons that utes aren't real any more. He wants me to sniff around, seeing as how I know utes and all.
MOTOR Comparison: 2015 XR6 ute v SS ute comparison
He reckons on 'em going all soft, so to speak. Reckons they aren't for shootin' or fishin' any more. Reckons – get this – they're not even built to carry gear in the back much! Only part time! Rough-and-tumble barstard's sports car, he says. Goose.
So he's sent three of these things out for a bloke to check up on for him. A Holden SS and two Falcons – an XR6 Turbo and an XR8. And, because I'm just a slow-talkin', simple cove, he's made sure they're autos. He tells me the auto's the best 'box in the Fords, especially the six, but it doesn't much matter which of the 'boxes you stick behind the Commodore motor, it's still gunna feel ordinary. Struth!
Worse still, he's sent 'em out with two of the most laughably pointless, no-hoper city slickers you've ever seen. The one they call Dean'd be the only seven-foot, 100kg-plus boofhead you could call a sheila and still expect to win the stoush, and I dunno where to start on the little fella. How he sees over the dash has got me buggered.
And I'll bung on a t-shirt and a proper shirt when she's a bit brisk, but, fair dinkum, I know which order they're s'posed to go in! Coupla bum nuts shy of an omelette, I tell ya.
The cousin justifies having a pair of café crawlers wasting my time by telling me Dean'll be handy because he knows all the tech stuff about these cars and steers all right. Fair enough, I s'pose. Then he reckons Marcus will be useful because he lives in five-star hotels and speaks fluent German – which is dead handy here. When he translates For The Fallen at 9pm at the RSL, it goes over like a greenie in an abattoir.
Still, it's all a far cry from me old WB, I tell ya. Used to reckon that was sharp, but even the slowest of these things rattles its dags hard. Wasn't that long ago you killed plenty of clutches not getting to a 14.9sec quarter. Now it's the slowest ute here – and it's automatic, so all you do is stand on 'er and go!
Makes no sense that it's the slowest, either, because the XR8 sounds like a ball tearer when you're sinking the Blunnie into her. From halfway through its rev range, she swings into it like buggery, howlin' and snortin' and singin' like Dad after his 50th birthday morning glory. Except it's in tune, and it's a more pleasant thing to remember during those long, lonely nights on the harvester.
Classic MOTOR: FPV Pursuit 290 review
It doesn't shudder or pick up any vibrations while it's ripping into it, either, and that seems pretty impressive from a big 5.4-litre V8 that does all of its work in the stroke. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh here, but the XR8 somehow doesn't feel that quick. What would I know – I wouldn't have 260kW if I added up everything in me shed – but she feels like she's making no more than a good, solid 220kW to me.
Maybe it's just gettin' into it after driving the SS – 'cause that thing goes like a blue heeler after a Mormon. And Holden reckons it's got 15kW less grunt than the XR8!
Trouble is, it feels like it should live up in me workshed. I've got 15-year-old chainsaws that are more appealing to the ear when you're getting them stroppy. And from outside it sounds like it's dropped a cylinder whenever somebody feeds her the berries.
Deano tells me it's the new exhaust system they bunged underneath it to get it to 245kW (s'pose he'd know), but me old 4.2 shat on it for engine noise – and so does that bent eight Falcon.
Then there's the XR6 Turbo. When I was a young bludger playing footy, the whole team used to reckon that only pansies or tradies (sometimes both at the same time, if you know what I mean) drove six-pot utes. Gotta tell ya, I don't reckon that any more.
This thing's a poofteenth quicker than the Holden to 100 kays, a beezy faster to 400 metres, sounds heaps better, runs smoother. Geez, that's some good donking, Ford. Doesn't matter if you're goin' berko or bein' lazy, it's a bottler. It's not as in-ya-face as the others, but it's sort of subtle and menacing and gets on with it. Could be louder, though.
You'd never know she was a turbo, though. My missus couldn't drive a nail through balsa wood, but you could fire her off to the Chin Waggers Association in it and she'd never be scared. And I'd never be scared to know she's driving it, because it's so friendly that it keeps you out of strife.
I only drove a couple of older-style turbos, and by cripes they frightened some fearfully blue language out of me. If you were unlucky, all their power arrived at the wrong time, just when you were halfway out of the corner.
Old turbos drank heaps of juice and you'd get pickpocketed by those insurance bastards as well. Old turbos were all nothing, then they'd whack you in the back of the head. These days, that's more the Commodore's go, I reckon, not the XR6 Turbo's. If you ask it to go, she just goes, doesn't matter where it is in the rev range.
MOTOR Features: 15 years of the 'Barra'
Doesn't hurt that Ford actually gave it a gearbox, not that cacophony of clunks Holden stuck in the ute. Dean reckons Holden also sticks it in the export Caprice, which is a bit of a surprise. The camel jockeys (alright, the Chinese and Indians, too) shepherded the intellectual achievements of the entire species during the Dark Ages, so I can't believe they're happy about being lumped with this thing. I can understand the Seppos not knowing any better, though…
Not only is it crook, but I don't reckon the ratios do it any favours – not with the way the V8 delivers its urge, anyway. For all of its other cog-swapping faults (and Dean tells me to calm down; it's all been said before), second gear feels bloody tall, or the torque is less than you reckon it should be. Or both at the same time.
That makes it doughy out of low-speed corners, then the bastard kicks down into first, just when you're feeling like you need a bit of care. And when it kicks down, it upsets your world more than seeing the Pope in a condom factory.
It gets unsettled and the weight transfers all over the joint. If you wanna get all Friday-night troppo, it's best to hold it in gear, because at least that way you're in charge of the looniness. Otherwise, it can happen involuntarily, and through no fault of its suspension set-up.
Part of the XR6 Turbo's charm is that, with so much torque at low revs, the gearbox isn't inclined to hunt. Doesn't need to. That single fact helps instill the calming feeling that the car's doin' it easy, no matter how hard you're beltin' it. The 'box does whine a bit, but the shifts are definitely smoother when it kicks down, and they're slicker on the way up the cogs as well.
Theoretically, that's gunna be the same in the V8 Falcon. And it sort of is, sort of isn't. It is, because it's got the same smooth shifts. It isn't, because the V8's got bugger all worth wondering about under 3500rpm, and that makes the 'box hunt more behind this engine than it does behind the other one.
In spite of its bunkum 'box, the SS is the quickest thing out here between the corners, through the corners and out of 'em again. It's just got more grip. It feels nailed down, it won't buck the line in bumpy corners and it is, if anything, more neutral mid-corner than the sedan. At least, it is on bitumen. It's less inclined to rub its snout across the road, but she's definitely a bloke's truck.
The steering weight and pedal feel are both fairly hefty and meaty and, it should be said, a bit spongy with it. The trade-off for bein' quick is that the ride feels like havin' a bouncer drag you down the pub stairs on your freckle – or what I imagine that might feel like.
If you're taking the missus on a long haul, get her to put one of those fancy sports bras on first – you know, the kind the Williams sisters probably should start wearing.
The six-pot is heaps softer, especially in the way it deals with low-amplitude bumps. It's got more initial compliance and feels to have more travel, too, especially in the front end. It takes a bit of familiarity to get the best out of, which may or may not explain why it spent most of the week sideways out here. Prob'ly not, actually.
The steering is very, very quick, but you've got to be inch perfect and careful, because it's also lighter than a Bob Carr promise and you can easily give it inputs you didn't intend. The tail hops and skips a bit over bumps, which is to be expected given that it runs a proper ute (read: solid beam) axle, but that can make the steering feel even flightier.
Like little Marcus, the back end's all talk and no action. It wiggles a bit, but that's it. Also like Marcus, you can generally ignore what it's doing and carry on with your business, and it can still be driven with a fair degree of accuracy.
This leaves the V8 Ford a bit out of sorts again. Not only is it slower than the others in a straight line, but its chassis feels the least sorted of them, too. It doesn't feel awful, to be honest, but it sits in the shade of its little brother, and it's just skippier than the six, for reasons related to the different spring rates it needs to counteract the weight over the nose. She feels oddly floatier and heavier up front and the back never feels quite as in harmony with the world as it does in the six.
A look around the ins and outs shows that the cousin may be onto somethin' after all. The XR6's cabin is the drummiest of the three and its seats and doors are covered in what Ford calls "Purple Riverweed". No, fair dinkum. I looked it up. Bodgy bamboo, I call it, but you can't hose it out, so it's not aimed at the bush.
The XR8 stumps are even better than the six's (yay, the XR8 wins something!), but there's not much different between the two other than that. And both the Fords have sunvisors full of mirrors. Mirrors! Lah-de-bloody-dah! Wouldn't be so bad if it was all flash, but there's a fair bit of agriculture around the Fords if you look close enough.
Geez, the first time you fill 'er up, the spell gets broken. They're just dodgy – you can see right through the hole to the ground and the neck's just wobblin' in the breeze. While we're at it, it's bloody messy around the rear wheel arches, too, with a view through to the chassis and all of the pipes and lines and stuff they strap onto it. And the footrest? Am I supposed to knock one up and bolt it on m'self?
At least the Falcon's tailgate panel is neat, which is more than you can say about the Holden, with its arse sittin' up high, spot welds in the tin exposed willy-nilly and looking for all the world like somebody at the design shop forgot something. Doesn't help, apparently, that the tailgate's rising 14 years old now. How can a tailgate design last longer than a kelpie?
The six-pot Falcon's the best of all of them, by some considerable margin, I'd reckon. Fair enough, the Holden's gunna blow it away through the twisty country, but you can put a proper load in the "little" Falcon, you'll have just as much fun in it and it's got the best of all three engine/gearbox combinations. And it's got the nicest balance.
There are a lot of reasons to like the SS, too. Opinions about looks are bodgy at the best of times, but the old blokes outside the Vic Hotel like the Holden. So do the flatbellies at cricket and the gals at Ruth's Hair Emporium. And it's bloody fast. Buggered if I know what the XR8's all about, but I guess some blokes like Fords and V8s and they want what they want.
It's not crook; the other two are just better. I'd pension it off, m'self, but Dean reckons other coves can get more grunt out of it. Why wouldn't Ford just do it in the first place, but? Pains me to say it, but me cousin's right. These things aren't bush bashers any more. But he's also wrong.
They're better for it and if you don't have billy lids or bludging mates, they're still all the car anybody's going to need. Bushie or slicker.

- Because, with this gearshift, you could easily spill that many!
- Not offered with official factory gun rack

Five Ticks on the Turbo list
- XR6T is a hotbed of aftermarket tuning action
- Expect FPV to have a go. F6 Typhoon will be 280kW
- It's actually got real torque from just off idle, where the V8s struggle down low...
- ...but auto box isn't standing up to aftermarket urge...
- ...neither's the manual, though it's just getting noisy
Inner Sanctum
If me old man saw me in one of these things, he'd laugh, I tell ya. I mean, we had to get the homestead revalued when we got the new radio (so we could hear Tim Lane and Stackie), and now you get radio buttons on the steering wheel and right flash chilled air blasting out at yer face!
The only leather seat I've ever perched on is a saddle, so I couldn't believe me eyes at the XR8 and SS stumps. They're a damned sight more comfortable and all, I can tell you.
Don't mind the Fords, and the little piano keys for the radio are prob'ly easier to use, but I'd have to give the cabin prize to the Holden – but if you need to bung some gear behind the seats, then you'll have to take one of the Fords.
Ford's stuck with the old finger-twistin' tonneau tie-downs. Fair enough, because it's reliable, but the Holden system is easier, neater, looks like a pearler and you can rip it up quicker than the temper on a cross-bred ram.
Five Pieces of XR Eight
- The smoothest V8 motor you can buy in an Aussie car
- But hardly a thrill a minute under 3500rpm
- Plenty of blokes have ways to fix that for you, though
- Including FPV. The Pursuit is the quickest stock ute in the land, with 6.02 to 100 kays...
- ...Which knocks off Maloo (6.37) and CSV Bullet (6.68)
Racing relations
To the cultured V8 Supercar fan, V8 Brutes racing is a bit, well, brutal. No panel is spared, no pass completed without significant paint exchanges, tempers are more frayed than hemlines at a hippy commune. And all of this seems to go on with the consent of CAMS – yep, the same CAMS that won't let you walk trackside to offer somebody a friendly wave after they've turned you into the wall.
AVESCO tried to ban Procar from using the 'V8' term to promote the Brutes, claiming it had the Australian rights to the term. Yeah, right, which is roughly what the judge said, too.
It's been dominated recently by Wazza Luff, who's been promoted to A grade with DJR. Brutes ain't as easy as being quick and talented, though. The top 10 grid spots come out of a barrel draw. It means you can be among the rats and mice lickety split, and that gets very ugly.

You can really extend the useful life of your power tools by making sure you give them the regular cleaning and maintenance they need. This means not letting your power tools sit around covered by sawdust, and instead cleaning them off after they've been used.
Here are some tips from an equipment rental company in Monroe, LA to help you get the most out of your power tool cleaning:
- Clear the dust: As we already mentioned, it's important to get rid of all the dust after you've been using a tool. Unless you've got an outstanding dust collection system in your shop (probably professional grade), your power tools are going to have dust in them after you use them. Use a shop vacuum to suck up all the dust you possibly can, then if there's still dust left in the vents or in other nooks and crannies of the tools, use compressed air to clean out those spaces. Running the tool might also help to get some of the dust out and away from the moving parts. Finally, you can use a damp rag to clean off plastic parts.
- Get rid of rust: Have you noticed rust starting to form on some of your metal surfaces, such as tables, fences or other hardware? You can use steel wool or a stiff brush to lightly brush the surface and remove some of the rust. If the rust is rather stubborn, you can use a degreaser to remove it as well, and use a corrosion protector to protect the surface you're working on.
- Replace or sharpen disposable parts: Make sure all the abrasives and blades are in good shape for whatever tool you're using. Remove the abrasives and clean off any metal parts with mineral spirits before replacing those abrasives. You can also check your blades and bits to ensure they're sharp and free of chips. If necessary, you can either sharpen them or replace them, as well as any belts that have been worn down.
- Check any parts that move: Take a close look at the tool while it's unplugged (or remove the batteries, if it's battery operated) and make sure all the moving parts can spin just fine. The fasteners on the tool should all be sufficiently sturdy, and all of its parts should be able to move freely and straight. Make any adjustments necessary if anything wobbles or is too tight.
- Make sure everything's square: For tables, fences, bevel gauges and anything else that needs to be square, use a machinist's square to make sure they actually are square and properly aligned at 90 degrees.
These are just a few steps you can take to clean and maintain your power tools so you can be certain they'll work properly and stay in good shape for some years to come.
