A Brief History Of Cigars

Posted by ghirly | 12:39 AM

By Edward Alexander


Lovers of cigars are a loyal bunch. They are openly passionate about the leaf and respect each other like members of a secret brotherhood. It is a respect born from the idea that they are fortunate to appreciate a pleasure that is available to all but recognized by only a few.

About fifty cigar aficionados gathered recently on the cigar terrace at the fabulous Boisdale of Belgravia SW1, the proudly Scottish restaurant along Eccleston Street in London. They met to auction a range of fine Cubans. Between them they bid a total of about US$390,000. The most spirited contest was over a highly prized Presidencia Humidor by Elie Bleu.

According to one theory, tobacco is the bastardization of tobago, an extended tube-like tool used by the Taino Indians on Cuba to smoke tobacco. The word is best known today as the smallest of two islands that form Trinidad & Tobago, the Caribbean independent republic in the West Indies.

The history of tobacco and cigars goes back more than five centuries to the days of Columbus. It is a history centered on Cuba and the Caribbean. This is evident when one considers the origins of both tobacco and cigars.

Let us look first at tobacco. According to one theory, tobacco is a corruption of Tobago, this being the name of a long, tube-like utensil Columbus observed being used by the Taino Indians on Cuba for smoking tobacco. The word features these days in the name of the southeast Caribbean nation of Trinidad & Tobago, a small republic consisting of two islands, Tobago being the smallest and lying to the northeast of Trinidad. Columbus first visited the island in 1498, during one of his later voyages. Although first colonized by the Spanish, it was ceded to Britain in the early 19th century and gained independence in 1962.

An alternative hypothesis claims tobacco originates from the Mexican province of Tabasco located along the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico. This gulf is, of course, an extension of the Caribbean Sea. Either way, both these theories point to the Caribbean as being central to the history of tobacco.

As for the word cigar, the Caribbean influence is again clear. The word is thought by many etymologists to derive from the word sikar, meaning to smoke, used by the Mayan civilization that lived along the east coast of Mexico, on the fringe of the Caribbean. Within the Caribbean, the history of tobacco and cigars in western civilization come together with Christopher Columbus.

Columbus is the first European to have enjoyed a cigar. He met the Taino Indians on Cuba during his voyages of discovery late in the 15th century. The Taino grew tobacco, rolled it and smoked it. One of the ways they smoked it was to roll it into a tube form, and then pull it tight inside a large leaf of tobacco. The Taino called the result a cohiba. Today we call this item a cigar. Columbus took these ideas, along with some tobacco itself, back to Spain. The rest, as they say, is history.

Despite its intriguing and verry successful past, there are many storm clouds threatening the brand and indeed the whole industry. It will be especially interesting to watch how Montecristo, and cigars in general, will combat the challenge being heavily mounted by medical and government authorities to tobacco smoking.

Behind a career day for quarterback Matt Schaub, the Houston Texans erased a 17-14 halftime deficit to score-- points in the second half and defeat the host Cincinnati Bengals 28-17. Schaub threw for 342 yards and 4 touchdowns against one interception in the solid road victory. Against a team that had won three straight games in the final seconds, Houston never gave Cincinnati the chance to create any late drama.

Houston took the money as +3' road underdogs with the outright win, and both teams are now 3-3 on the season against the NFL pointspread. The 45 points just managed to stay UNDER the posted total of 46. The Texans have gone UNDER in 4 of 6 this season while the Bengals evened their NFL totals record at 3-3.

After the victory, Schaub said that his team knew of Houston's penchant for late game comebacks and that 'putting them away' would be a priority:

"Every game went down to the wire for them. Credit goes to them because they were able to find ways to win those games. So it was a matter of putting the game away."

The Texans' stoic head coach Gary Kubiak would only offer that:

"Matt continues to put up exceptional numbers on the road."

The defense did a stellar job as well, shutting out the Bengals in the second half. In the third quarter, Houston only allowed six yards on nine plays for a franchise record. Cornerback Dunta Robininson talked about the defensive corps mindset:

"It was swarm tackling. Everybody has a job to do, and today we made this team a one-dimensional team. Overall as a defense, we played well."

In the losing locker room, wide receiver Chad Ochocinco admitted that his team knew that they couldn't rely on last minute heroics to win games:

"That's our fault. We've been saying that we can't keep winning with the way we've been playing. We've got to be consistent for all four quarters."

The Bengals will play their next two games at home, starting with a contest against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. Cincinnati is a -1 home favorite with the total set at 42. They'll host the Baltimore Ravens the following Sunday before traveling to Pittsburgh for a game against the Steelers on November 15. The Texans host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, with Houston a -3 home favorite and the total set at 44.

You want to be sure you're attracting the right kind of traffic to your website if you're selling a product or service. Before the Internet changed the way we market and sell products, salespeople that were trying to generate financial sales leads had to rely on cold calling. Cold calling requires calling complete strangers with the hope of convincing them to buy what you're selling. This technique is still in use today, but it is not a reliable sales technique. The salespeople generally purchase their leads from companies that sell their own customers personal information. The salesperson has no way of knowing whether or not these people have any interest in what they're offering. All the salesperson can do is hope that someone they call will say yes to their offer. It sound torturous to make cold calls all day long and get only one or two yes responses. Sadly, many salespeople still use this technique day after day.

Fortunately, there's a much better way to generate financial sales leads. Rather than cold calling, your customers find you. This can be accomplished by using various Internet marketing techniques including Pay-Per-Click and SEO. When these techniques are implemented, your customers find you when they use a search engine to find a product or service. If you applied all the techniques properly, you site will show up at the top of the search engine results page, ensuring that potential customers click through to your website instead of a competitors site. If they like what you're offering, they may make a purchase.

What you're essentially doing is luring potential customers to your product using various Internet marketing techniques that are constantly evolving. Search Engine Optimization is a science that actually works, but it has to be done right. There are a variety of ways to use SEO as well as other marketing techniques. If you keep up with the latest techniques, are dedicated and put in the necessary time to use the methods properly, you'll gather more financial sales leads than ever.

This is how Pay-Per-Click and SEO work; you select keywords that are relevant to your service or product and use these keywords in the articles that make up the pages of your website. You want to make sure that the pages of your site are dense with these keywords, but not too dense. The keywords can also be used in articles that contain a link back to your site that are submitted to article directories. This creates a back link to your site which makes your website appear to be important to the search engines. You can also use Pay-Per-Click ads to drive targeted traffic to your website.

There's plenty of money to be made when these techniques are used. These techniques can generate more financial sales leads than you ever imagined. You can sit and wait for interested customers to come to you rather than spending day after day cold calling strangers and hoping that one of them will say yes. Cold calling is a depressing, frustrating, and outdated way to generate financial sales leads, especially when you compare it to the tried and true SEO techniques.

They promised that they would give you a call after your job interview. In your heart, you know that you are qualified for the position. You expect that they are already going to make arrangements with you, but they didn't. This is a exhausting experience for every applicant and it is a poor reflection of any company. The sad truth about this circumstance is that it happens more often than you think.

Cheryl was happy with her interview on Tuesday. She knew that she did very well with the interview. She even thought that it was just appropriate to send a thank you letter. The company representative told her that the results of her interview will come out by the end of the week, but it's already Friday-- and she still did not receive any calls. By this time, she is already having doubts if she would even receive any. She started asking herself, Is it okay for me to call and ask about my interview? Or should I just wait over the weekend?

Fortunately, for Cheryl, her cousin Gloria is a Human Resources officer at a different firm. She finally decided to ask Gloria for some advice regarding her application. Gloria told Cheryl that it is okay to call back, but she should call the company on Tuesdays because Mondays are always a bad time to follow up.

That Tuesday, Cheryl made the call to the company. Before making the call, she made sure that she was prepared. She even wrote a script of her message to establish a good impression. When she dialed, she reached a voice mail and left a message:

"This is Cheryl Jones; I came to your office last Tuesday for a job interview. I would like to inquire about the status of my application and if you are still considering me for the position. I would be grateful if you would call me back today. My contact number is 333-999-8888. Thank you very much."

It is fair to call a company if they do not contact you after a job interview. Just be sure to prepare yourself when you inquire. Be respectful when you speak and reflect an image of professionalism. Explain that you find their company as the best choice for you that is why you need to receive a feedback about you application. Try calling them up to three times. If you still do not get any feedback, take it as a rejection. It will be irritating for them if you still inquire afterwards.

When you call, it is possible that someone might take your call. When you get this opportunity, make the most of it, and ask about your interview. There are times when the person on the end of the line will show their concern and offer advice. Make sure that you show your gratitude because things like that do not happen often.

Employers understand the candidate's curiosity about their application results, that is why most of them wait for the right timing to announce the results. The bad news is that there are employers who like to leave candidates hanging. You should think about this possibility before engaging your application. Make the most of your time waiting by looking for other opportunities.

Are you currently suffering from a really low Internet reputation? That must really suck for you. Everyone knows that the Internet is the primary go-to resource when you need to do a quick background check on a product, service, or a company. Whatever it is, with just one click, you can find it almost immediately. For businesses, this can be both a good thing and a bad thing.

What are the good points? The main advantage is that it's now easy to find you online. The days of big businesses controlling all forms of media are over. Smaller businesses can now take advantage of the web and go up against big business. What is the downside then? For one thing, since you're easily found online, they can also find everything else about you. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

One of the hardest things to deal with online is defamation of character. The internet allows anonymity and anyone can post things about you and your company, whether this be negative or positive. In truth, most people won't dare say what they say in real life without the shield that the internet provides.

Most companies allow it to just happen. You can't please everyone, right? There will always be someone who will hate you and will pull a defamation slander number on you. If worse comes to worst, you can file a libel suit against the person who wrote the content.

The best case scenario is that the person threatened with legal action will back down and take the offensive content off the website. Worst case is that the court case proceeds and you'll experience firsthand all the red tape and bureaucracy of the legal system while the offensive content is still online.

One of the best ways to deal with negative publicity online is to hire a company thats deal with reputation management repair services. This is less costly and does not consume as much time as a court trial. You also don't have to pay expensive legal fees. Having a reputation management online arm in a business is essential to remain competitive and credible in business.

So you're probably scratching your head right now.. wondering what it is you can do to fix your problem. You can pray. Unfortunately, prayers don't work against the Google algorithm. And filing a case is just a headache.. Have you thought of hiring a reputation management online repair service company to push the negative content down the ranks of search engines. Think, 4, 5 or even 10 pages down.

It will surely cost you money. But your online reputation is worth saving. You need to have lots of positive content online so that your business can continue to get new clients and generate revenues. Now is the time to be assertive in protecting your brand. You can't afford to remain passive against defamation online. Credibility is everything in business.

People who want to destroy your reputation could be your business competitors, former employees or even customers dissatisfied with your service delivery or your product. It could also be one of your people employed at your company, or just individuals who enjoy defamation of character for no reason at all.

With these people out there, it is no surprise that brand protection has become a top priority for companies. One well-place article on an influential website badmouthing your company and your brand can throw away the years of brand-building. That is why it is really important to ensure that your brand is well-guarded from defamation slander.

Firstly, some of the offensive contents many not even land on the first 5 pages in a search result so you can be less concerned that they can do any damage. You can ignore them and you can hope no damage is done. But that's a nonchalant way of dealing with the situation which no responsible PR manager should even consider. Also, it would hardly bring any alleviation to the damage.

Another method is to bring the case to the courts. A lawsuit would be a good idea if you have the funds and all the time in the world. If the lawsuit is won, you can receive money as payment for damages, and the offensive content will be taken down. However, as mentioned earlier, it simply is too expensive and it eats up too much time. You also do not have the assurance of winning the case.

Lastly, you can go by the way of reputation management. Use the same techniques by your competitor and try to beat them at their own game. These methods are called search engine reputation management.

Along with SEO that has kept online marketers busy in bringing their online presence to high gear, there's now the need for search engine reputation management to overtake the page ranking of an offending site. This technique can push it 5 to 10 pages down a search result where they won't do any harm. Take the search engine reputation management initiative and let the offending site owner know you don't take these things lightly.

Remember that protecting your image and your brand online is a must. It is hard to establish a name, much less a brand. If it is not protected vigilantly, you may be undoing years of hard work. Start today and consult a reputation management expert immediately.

It's obvious that the San Francisco 49ers are heading in the right direction under Mike Singletary, but you couldn't tell by watching their game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Falcons scored six touchdowns against the Niners, with running back Michael Turner accounting for three of the scores as Atlanta routed San Francisco by a lopsided 45-10 final score. It was the Niners' worst defeat since a 41-0 loss back in 2006 under former coach Mike Nolan. San Francisco fell to 3-2 with the defeat while the Falcons improved to 3-1.

The NFL betting lines had the game listed as a 'PICK', giving the Falcons the ATS win with their easy straight up victory. It was the 49ers first loss against the spread this season, while Atlanta upped their record to 3-1 to the money.

After the game, the fiery Singletary apologized for cussing out former 49er and current Falcons' lineman Harvey Dahl:

"I'll put it this way: I wish I had more coaching etiquette. I don't. I love my players and when someone responds about my players in a particular way, I may do some things I shouldn't do. I have to get better at those things as time goes on. Even though the player was talking to me, I should not have said what I said. It wasn't anything bad, it was just something that shouldn't have happened."

Roddy White set a Falcons' record with 210 receiving yards, and was assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on his second touchdown of the day. With his team in full control, Atlanta coach Mike Smith had to be amused:

"He didn't hit the landing because if he hits the landing it's not a 15-yard penalty. I told him if he's going to do it, it needs to be Olga Korbut. And he looked at me like he doesn't know who Olga Korbut is. Then I told him, 'Well, maybe Mary Lou Retton.' And then I figure that's '86, he doesn't know who Mary Lou Retton is. It went right over his head and my head."

Smith admitted that he hadn't been in top form so far this season:

"I felt like I haven't been playing well up to this point in the season. Me and coach Smith had a talk. He was like, 'You gotta get back to being yourself again. You gotta go out there and be the old Roddy. No pressure. Just go out there and play.'"

The Falcons will return home on Sunday to host the Chicago Bears, with Atlanta a -3 home favorite and the total set at 45'. They'll play their next two on the road, traveling to Texas for a game against the Dallas Cowboys the following week and to New Orleans to face the Saints on Monday, November 2. The 49ers will have a bye this week before traveling to Houston to play the Texans on October 25. They'll play at Indianapolis the following Sunday before returning home to take on the Tennessee Titans on November 8.

Companies decide to go public for many different reasons: expansion, need for capital, exit strategy, acquisition facilitation, globalization etc. But what are the real advantages to going public? First, let's go over the disadvantages. Your life becomes an open book and as an executive your spending habits and failures will be a matter of public information with your annual and quarterly filings.

You'll be accountable to shareholders. You'll have a board whose main interest is the company and the shareholders no you or your need for a new luxury car, financial bonus or need for a quick loan from the company that was once possible and easy when your company was a sole proprietor entity. You need trading volume and without it your stock is worthless and your company becomes a blind, deaf, mute, quadriplegic (a bit extreme but you get the point).

The advantages are numerous if your company is ready for the public realm. With a solid trading volume, minimal dilution of stock, solid executive management, an active board of directors, powerful strategic alliances and the ongoing advisory of a strategies consultant your company can expand globally, identify and grow through acquisition and subsidiary mergers, purchase entities and services with stock to retain cash flow.

Banks and other institutional lenders will make more funding solutions available. Your exit strategy is built in and turn-key.

The most successful public companies have a few common themes built into their infrastructure. They have recruited a proven and tested CEO, CFO and COO with professional pedigrees and track records that are recognized in the industry and media and will bring with them a strong following of partners and solution mechanisms that will typically yield instantaneous, empirical results on behalf of the company. The board of directors is restructured so that major industry enhancing components are represented such as industry niche legal, financial, distribution, domestic and international. Each of these board members will put their contact portfolio to work for your company for immediate and long term growth and stabilization. One other aspect that all prosperous public entities have is a strategies consultant that keeps everything in line. This individual is also what is referred to as a 'fixer'.

This professional will typically stand in the background constantly analyzing every aspect of the company for weak points and correct them. Whether it be a lazy board member, potential acquisition, CEO not pulling his/her weight, potential legal issues etc., this strategist has a keen eye and typically a massive contact base that, when put into place can correct virtually any situation quickly and seamlessly.

Going public is a great strategy for the right organization. Having all your ducks in a row pre and post public is the key to a successful offering and public markets longevity.

I've by no means actually had a problem with my weight. I was blessed into a loved ones that never had weight problems, so maybe we have my mother to thank for preparing 3 meals each day where we would sit down to eat together, or at lunch just the children in the household, as each parents worked. But in the mornings and evening we would all be at the table together. Our in-between meals consisted of fruits. I'm not saying we in no way ate sweets as we did that too, on Saturdays my father would give us pocket dollars and take us towards the local store and we would spent it all on sweets.I have seen many working weight loss tips on the web and they wroks like a charm.

My father was tall and lean, my Mother was petite. We have been active children, we swam, rode our bicycles to school, and played lots of games that involved running, jumping etc. These were the days just before Tv and Net. It makes me sound old.

Nowadays I'm 52 years old, the age exactly where my metabolism is slowing down and my appetite is still intact. I lately gained eight kilo's, and observed that it affected me on all ranges, I was uncomfortable I felt as if I was pregnant. When sitting down I had to sit inside the pose, the a single exactly where you lean backwards to ensure that there is spot for the stomach to bulge forward. If I sat crunched more than I couldn't breathe. All my clothes have been too tight on me and emotionally I felt ugly and fat.

I made the decision a single morning that sufficient was adequate and took control of my life once more. I started to listen to Law of Attraction tapes and something that I could get my hands on. This was to cease the cycle of feeling ugly and fat. As I think that this is often a large aspect of weight acquire too. We quit caring about ourselves and eat whatever or eyes can feast themselves on. We are not concerned what we look like and how it really is affecting our health either.

Except the great inside your life. Except becoming gorgeous, loved, healthy and wealthy too. The cycle of life is lovely. Get the Millionaire mindset.

Currently you can find over Thirty million weblogs on the web and thousands more getting created per week. Assuming ownership of one blog per person, that's at the least Thirty million people slinging around their personal opinions on everything that exists under the sun. This can be a good thing. The free exchange of thoughts and ideas is what prevents the planet from becoming a stagnant puddle of uninspiring values.

However, to rob a line from the movie Spiderman, 'With great power comes great responsibility'. Blogging has become a means for the words of the people being heard. We should be careful, though, to not abuse our power through thoughtless acts that hurt the credibility of bloggers and blogging. One place that remains our Achilles heel is when good posts go south.

In the United States, libel and slander are the two types of defamation. In several states, courts have begun treating them the same as the only distinction between the two is that libel is really a false written statement about someone, place or thing that harms his/her/its reputation while slander is the verbal act of the same offense. Whether blogged on the Internet or whispered offline with your mother, the normal denominator is that what's said is false.

Since I'm psychic, I already know just what you are thinking. 'The First Amendment of the US Constitution protects me. Provided that it is the truth, I could say whatever I want.' Well, kind of. As crazy precisely as it sounds, truth is not the silver bullet defense for each case of libel or slander. A judge may require that besides being true the information relayed is in the public interest to learn.

So reporting the CEO of a major corporation was caught pilfering money from the employee's pension account could possibly get dismissed from civil court while telling on earth that your neighbor has smelly feet might get you into more trouble than you need. Whether or not it were true, why would it end up being in the public interest to learn that your neighbor's feet could clear out Yankee Stadium?

Right now, the First Amendment does protect your right to an opinion. If you believe how the Mr. Squiggly Toddler Toy is a piece of crap, you are certainly free to inform anyone within earshot as long as you ensure it is clear that it is your opinion about the subject. Also, if a person puts forth a negative sentiment regarding their experience with you who is clear to any reasonable person that it's their opinion, your legal recourse against them is significantly limited.

Parody and satire can also be protected. If they weren't, Saturday Night Live and South Park would have never got past the very first episode. Along with criticism of a public performance like a symphony, as well as a book is shielded under the Fair Criticism and Comment clause.

Now the on-line world contributes some interesting layers of complication to the whole blogging shebang. Rather than being contained in a local area, libel has the possibilities to cross international borders and not every single country handles these cases the same. One of the major problems courts around the globe have to deal with is the one of jurisdiction. If I live in the us and I libel someone that resides in the UK where exactly does the case take place and who's laws and regulations do we go by? Many cases have set a scary precedent that leans towards being able to sue anywhere around the world for libel published on the net.

Next there is the issue of third party liability. Say you might be a responsible blogger who's careful about her posts to avoid a troublesome libel accusation. One of your readers posts a libelous statement in your blog. Would you be held accountable for that person's actions? Well, so far the law has only made provisions for Internet service providers stating that they can't be held responsible for how their customers use their services (as it pertains to defamation). Likewise, blog service providers like Google and Six Apart may likely be immune to any lawsuits arising from an individual's use of the service.

No matter whether or not you would be held responsible may come down to should you moderate your comments. Should you allow comments to be posted instantly, you may well be safe under Section 230 of the US Code (for US Citizens). It could be another story; however, should you approve comments before posting them. It could be argued that your posting of the comments equates your agreement to them. Up to now, nobody has shown up in court to argue this, for this reason the fact that we are kind of forced to make it up as we go along.

Defamation is really a tricky issue and one that needs to be tread carefully if your are to avoid landing in court. Listed here are a few tips to help keep you out of trouble. Take note: I am not a lawyer. Although I did get to play one on "Touched by an Angel. In the event that you and your blog deal with some highly controversial issues or you're simply not sure just how much trouble you would get into when you published that post about your best friend's boyfriend, I recommend getting in touch using a lawyer to acquire the best advice.

1. Change the names. Undoubtedly the easiest thing that can be done would be to change in order to avoid using the name of the man or women you are talking about and to strip away as much identifying information as possible. If a reasonable person can visit your hometown and quickly identify the "mealy-mouth cow" you blogging about on-line, you should carry out some editing.

2. Make use of some sort of disclaimer. I've a good one on my Internet site. Even some thing as basic as "By making use of this blog site, you agree the views expressed are the property and responsibility of the respective owners" may provide some defense in the event of a court action. (Check with a real lawyer please).

3. Think about writing your rant as a parody or satire. Intense exaggerations that no reasonable individual would believe aren't considered defamation because, quite frankly, they're unbelievable. Be mindful though, this sort of writing takes a particular je Sais quoi, and may even easily backfire on you. Have a fair person proofread the entry to be sure it passes the believability examination.

4. be careful about your language. Make sure to use wording that makes it apparent that this is your thoughts and opinions about the topic. Assertions like, "That Mr. Squiggly Toddler Toy is a piece of crap" makes it appears like you're stating a truth when in all actuality you're making a personal judgment concerning the toy. Something like "I think that Mr. Squiggly Toddler Toy is a piece of crap" or "That Mr. Squiggly Toddler Toy fell apart right after the very first use" tends to be safe bets. At least so far as the law will be involved.

5. And last yet definitely not least, do not tell false reports. Right now this could seem like common sense but wait, how common is good sense nowadays? Actually. If you think the need to resort to lying about an individual, you might want to seek professional help in examining the reason why you need to do that. 'Cause odds are, it's not to protect the public. Use blogging wisely!

Blogging is a terrific way to meet people and also remain current in the world and doing so responsibly will simply make the experience much better. Remain safe, stay sane and most of all have some fun.

ABC's LOST- An Epic Story

Posted by ghirly | 12:52 AM

By Phil Guye


An Airplane accident. Survivors stuck on a mystical, tropical island. Time travel, mysticism, and secrecy. Planning, back stabbing and retribution. This is the story of ABC's LOST. The phenomenon of a tv series hit airwaves in the year 2004, and has had a popularity since that time. Popular for its insufficient answers, the tv show lost a good deal of audiences after the initial two seasons, but maintains a devoted following to this day.

ABC's LOST initially follows the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 immediately after it crashes on an island engulfed in mystery. The group is struggling to survive as they experience nightly disappearances, polar bears, and also a strange monster made of black smoke. As time goes on, they locate a hatch buried into the ground, and discover inside a guy who was certainly not on their flight. The man's name is Desmond, and he is pressing a button every 8 minutes in order to "save the planet." Desmond abandons the hatch, leaving behind the survivors to continue the process.

The series takes a turn at that point in the series. The survivors discover a guy who says his name is Henry Gale, however , after a bit of time, they discover that the person is instead Ben Linus, the boss of another group of island inhabitants called "The Others," plus they are the ones who were taking people from the group in the beginning. ABC's LOST gets insane when Linus escapes, and the survivors discontinue pressing the button, causing the hatch to explode in a burst of electromagnetic energy. Meanwhile, main group members of the survivors are captured by the Others.

After several weeks of beatings and near torture, the caught survivors learn that they are on a totally separate island, and that these people are doing work out of the old facilities of a group called the Dharma Initiative. No one is very clear on precisely why the Others exist, but it's revealed that Ben was to blame for murdering all of the former Dharma people, and that he thinks he's given the job of "protecting the area," and is under the direction of a person called Jacob. ABC's LOST gets seriously thrilling when a freighter shows up from the coastline, and the survivors believe they are saved. Nonetheless, it is immediately uncovered that the freighter isn't there to save, but destroy them, as their leader is a former boss of the Others who is looking for vengeance.

Luckily, the helicopter pilot of the freighter is uneasy with the situation, and regardless of the freighter itself getting blown up, is able to assist 6 of the survivors leave the Island. A few years after the fact, they still have not advised any individual in the world about what truly happened following the airplane crash, or that there are other survivors left on the island. Nevertheless, ABC's LOST becomes even crazier the moment another survivor pops up to the world known as John Locke, and explains that in the event that they do not come back to the island, everyone they adore there will be murdered. Although it calls for some coercion, as well as the death of the messenger, everyone finally goes back.

In the period that they were gone, all of those other survivors have been having a few ridiculous situations. After they left, Ben and John had turned an archaic wheel in order to "move" the island and keep the other survivors protected. Nonetheless, in the process, they'd dislodged this tropical isle from time, and the people discovered themselves time traveling at a frequent rate, resulting in several peculiar deaths. Locke is eventually able to stop the time traveling, though the island is at that point stuck in the 1970's, therefore when the survivors who had left come back, they also find themselves out of synchronize.

The storyline in ABC's LOST gets to be more and more convoluted, but the most sensible thing you an do is view it yourself. The story is actually more intricate than it seems today, and is a lot more than worth checking out.

The World Wide Web has many on-line networks and even various on-line communities. Occasionally, these networks and communities also have smaller communities and also networks within them.

In case you want to become a member and take part in the talks and activities of such networks and communities, then there are ways you could do so. Also, you could start looking for people.

Facebook has many features that could help you in your search for groups, networks, and people. One feature you can use is the "advanced search" option. When you utilize this searching option, you can look for anybody, anywhere, and at any time. You could do a Facebook search for people you know by location, profession, and school among others.

It wasn't a game for the ages by the Buffalo Bills, as they blew much of a 17 point lead to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Still, they did what they had to do and put some offense on the board en route to a 33-20 National Football League victory. The Bills shot out to a 17-0 first quarter lead before Tampa Bay answered with 14 of their own in the second quarter. After a scoreless third quarter they outscored Tampa 13-6 in the final stanza to seal the win.

NFL sports betting enthusiasts who took the Bills as -4 home favorites cashed their tickets with the pointspread cover. Despite a 1-1 straight up record, Buffalo improved to 2-0 against the spread. Tampa Bay has lost both of their 2009 NFL games straight up and against the number for a 0-2 mark in both categories. The combined 53 points put on the scoreboard went OVER the posted total of 41. Both teams have gone OVER in two games this so far this season.

Terrell Owens capped the game with a long touchdown reception in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Trent Edwards expressed his excitement and seeing his team's new deep threat:

I was excited and he was excited. I don't really recall what was said, but I'm honestly hoping that that continues to happen. I think that's why we have him."

"We learned our lesson from last week and it's a valuable lesson we're going to need throughout the season. We have to finish games and that's what we did today."

Lee Evans also caught a touchdown pass from Edwards, and after the game praised his quarterback:

"It comes down to opportunities. I think Trent wasn't afraid to take any chances. You always have to have that threat of the deep play. I think we put it on the table today that we would."

A team long known for its suffocating defenses, Tampa Bay has struggled to stop opposing offenses in the first two NFL regular season games under new head coach Raheem Morris. The Bucs allowed over 900 yards of offense this season, a fact that defensive stalwart Ronde Barber stressed was unacceptable:

"They dialed up some things on us that we should have stopped but we didn't. Ask the coaches that. I'm not willing to make a statement on that. It's really unacceptable. Good defenses are good tackling defenses."

Morris, meanwhile, tried to project an aura of calm:

"I'm not worried about their confidence but these guys got to play better."

The Bills now host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, with Buffalo installed as +6 home underdogs. The total for the game has been set at 52. Buffalo will travel to Miami the following Sunday to play the Dolphins before returning home on 10/11 to take on the Cleveland Browns. Tampa Bay faces three tough NFC East opponents in the coming weeks, beginning with a Sunday home game against the New York Giants. The Bucs are +6 home underdogs in that game with the total set at 44. The Bucs will play on the road the following two weekends, with games at Philadelphia and Washington.

Web leads are the people who visit your web site. When managed, these leads often become customers. If your web site and the text on the pages (as well as other information and helpful content) are well written and designed, visitors will be moved from a unique landing page to pages with information they want or answers to their questions.

A study by the American Marketing Association recently revealed that only 80% of those who visit a web site will make it beyond the landing page, only 20% will reach the shopping cart, and only 2% will make a purchase. This reveals two important truths: (1) many web sites are not making navigation easy enough to move visitors through the site to a purchase, and (2) web sites are not helping people overcome the typical barriers to buying.

According to the study, the five leading reasons people leave a web site before making a purchase are:

1. Unprepared to buy. They are still gathering information or they are not the right leads. Web leads must be managed (if they are the right leads) in ways that help them find the information they need quickly and given a reason to buy now.

2. Confusion. These web leads shut down because they cannot find the information they need to make a buying decision. Your job is to make that information easy to find.

3. On-site distraction. Often there is peripheral information on the page. This distracts people from the intention to buy. The landing page should resemble the ad that brought you the web leads. There should be nothing on the landing page that is not designed to move the lead to a buying decision.

4. Discomfort. Many things can produce these feelings. Among them are too many products, the risk of buying something expensive or something you do not completely understand. Your job in managing these web leads is to reduce the risk, limit the options and help them move to information tied to their stage in the decision-making process.

5. Frustration and fatigue. These are the web leads that get tired and frustrated because they cannot find what your ad told them to expect or because there are too many steps in the purchase or links do not work properly, etc. Your site design and the text on your landing pages must remove these possibilities.

The people who fall within these five categories are people who might have every intention of buying, but gave up because they ran into a barrier. Managing web leads means removing barriers and making it easy for visitors to get the information they need quickly. When you can find ways to manage web leads around these barriers, you will significantly reduce the number of people who leave your site in the middle of your sales process.

The passion I've got for all things photographic doesn't invariably lead to a wonderful eye for best artistic photography. But I seriously love cameras, and over the last ten years that digital cameras have been gaining in popularity, you can wager that I've been observing, and recording every progress in consumer photography technology with a little more interest than you could call normal. And the one advance I like best is how the ideal digital camera rates have dropped and dropped, although the quality of the images you can take on these has grown much better.

$250 is some sort of miracle price point for digital cameras; you receive probably the most action, the most features in this bracket, more so than some other price category. A decade ago, every single camera you can get at this price, came with an optical viewfinder and ran on dimestore batteries. These days they all have got LCD screens, and are rechargeable. In those days, you've got about 2 megapixels and 2x optical zoom on a flawlessly reputable $250 digital camera. That is what you get on a cell phone today. Well, it's time once again this year, to discover exactly what new benchmarks are possible in the very best digital camera prices and models.

Pretty much, $250 right now, can purchase you a really intelligent model with 12 megapixels, HD video capture, and large 3-inch LCDs. Each and every brand, Panasonic, Canon, Sony's CyberShot and Fuji, all toss in vital features like image stabilization, super wideangle lenses, and also face recognition. Obviously every brand available possesses its own take on how to combine these features in, and that is where all the enjoyment of it lies. And a certain amount of compromise is on par for the range too; they do not have fantastic internal processors - that means that you don't receive quick action when you press down the shutter button; you also get yourself a specific amount of grain, capturing in low light. However, people with a general desire for photography who are on the lookout for the ideal digital camera prices available do not ever have gripes such as these. They really want the best photography experience for their buck, and they do obtain it!

The Sony Cyber-Shot W290, is about the least expensive major manufacturer of camera you will discover. At $160, they actually need to leave some things out though. For instance, it can shoot in HD, but the pictures aren't razor-sharp, and it cannot zoom while in HD mode. On the other side of the feature rivalry is the over-endowed Samsung Dual View TL225, that costs just $100 more than the Cyber-Shot. For individuals who want to really appear in their own pictures, this camera plants a small second screen on the front. And in the event you just can't get your youngster to smile for the photo, that little screen can show a funny image for that effect. The main display screen has wonderful touch response on the largest display screen out there - 3.5". If you need to erase something, you draw an X over it; and in the event that you want to shuffle through images, you just have to swipe them. And also the image quality is excellent too. The Lumix DMC-ZS3 offers one of the best digital camera prices out there - $225. It is a camera, but it is also a video camera. It possesses a specific record button for video recording, plus it uses AVCHD Lite or Motion JPEG for it. The user interface is extremely good, and so are the pictures.

Of all of the digital cameras out there, the Lumix definitely provides you with the top bang for your buck; the Samsung has a great user interface and fantastic picture quality, and the Fuji F70EXR provides terrific lowlight photography. For the very best digicam prices like these will bring you, you can pick. It is a toss up among these three.
