I was thinking that since when Sarah Palin came to Carson City earlier this month, and the Republicans estimated her crowd size to be about four times the reality, maybe we should pretend that the Obama rally today was in fact bigger than Burning Man.When I speak to Democrats from all over Nevada, when they come in to my bar, I constantly hear about that fake 10,000 person in attendance number for

India’s largest company by market value, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), may produce 50% more natural gas from the country’s biggest field than the company estimated, easing shortages that idled utilities in the world’s second fastest growing economy.The Krishna-Godavari (KG) region in the Bay of Bengal may yield as much as 120 million cubic metres a day (mcmd) after eight new discoveries, V.K. Sibal, director general of hydrocarbons, had said in an 8 April interview. The previous target for the field, scheduled to start production in the next 12 months, was 80mcmd.RIL is investing $5.2 billion (Rs20,800 crore) to develop the KG region, which will more than double the country’s output and may alleviate shortages that have shut down one-third of the nation’s gas-fired power pla
Whoa... I find that incredibly incredible.... and only 25 employees... WOW! Apparently they are making up to 100 MILLION a year in revenue... but the logic is that if it sold, the people buying it would value it at the value of all the prices which Craigslist could charge for which they so generously give away for free... If someone came in and tried to sell it all, I would hope that there

It astonished me to estimate that I would have to earn in excess of GBP 50 000 in the UK to take home the same salary (converted at today's exchange rates) as I do in Slovakia. To have the same standard of living, I may have to earn more like GBP 100 000 but such a calculation is much more complicated. Tax is at least 50% of all income.
We already know that China Mobile’s Wang Jianzhou is looking to play hardball with Apple over revenue sharing of the iPhone (Wang is of the opinion that since China Mobile is supplying all the users, Apple shouldn’t get a slice of his monthly income) but even without their regular tithe is it still worth Steve Jobs pushing the handset to the Chinese market? Henry Blodget certainly thinks so; he’s run through some figures and, if you’re an Apple shareholder, the prospects look damned good:
“China’s mobile market is so huge that even if Apple gets only a tiny slice of it, even if China’s wireless operators stiff Apple on the subscription-revenue share, and even if Apple has to cut the iPhone’s price, we’re still talking big dollars” Henry Blodget

Pictured is the rare Amur leopard cat, estimated to be one of only 30 left in the wild. The leopard was recently captured and given a health check before being released by into the wild by experts from a consortium of conservation organisations working in the Russian Far East.
Back in 1970, it was reported in the Zoological Society of London’s ‘International Zoo Yearbook’ that two male hybrid cats were born at Kaunas, Lithuania (formerly USSR) in 1968 to an Amur leopard Cat (F bengalensis euptilura) and a Jungle Cat (F Chaus), - another species that hybridises freely with domestic cats.
I was recently invited to participate in big discussion on one of the online forum, the topic was Actual Execution Plan vs. Estimated Execution Plan. I refused to participate in that particular discussion as I have very simple but strong opinion about this topic. I always use Actual Execution Plan as it is accurate.
Why not Estimated Execution Plan? It is not accurate. Sometime it is easier or useful to to know the plan without running query. I just run query and have correct and accurate Execution Plan.
Shortcut for Display Estimated Execution Plan : CTRL + L
Shortcut for Include Actual Execution Plan : CTRL + M
You can use SSMS to include the execution plan as well.

This is pretty slick — Google Maps will now give you multiple estimated times for trips that you plan (in “a limited set of metropolitan areas”).
Their example has someone traveling from Berkeley to Half Moon Bay, which is “about 59 minutes”. However, the directions also say that it could take “up to 1 hour 50 minutes in traffic”. This allows you to look at multiple routes to determine which would be best if you had to travel during rush hour.
Obviously, this can’t account for accidents that might slow things down further, but it’s a neat addition. Combine this with the new click-and-drag directions, and you can quickly find the best route during heavy traffic times.

i can hardly contain myself. will it happen tomorrow? i sure hope so. i would actually like to see what everyones pagerank will be. when i say everyone i mean everyone going for the coolest guy title. i do not really put much weight to pr, it is more of a status thing as far as i am concerned. i am a believer in “inbound link quality” as opposed to pagerank (link is to my seo tools page, where you can go download the coolest firefox extension on the planet). to me, pagerank is just a way to sell links anymore.
i am not saying a link from a pr9 homepage is not going to help your ranking, but is it really the pagerank of that page that helps you out, or is it the fact that the site has 2000 high quality inbound links from sites that gword deems important? i mean, i have seen spam sites with pr5’s (case in point- check out this pr5 spam blog- http://gettvcare.blogrox.com). but does gword think that site is important because it has a bunch of crappy links? heck

Today’s worth of Gazprom reserves is estimated at $182.5 billion, Gazprom Neft has $24 billion, RIA Novosti reported referring to Alexander Ananenkov, deputy chairman of Gazprom management committee. The current worth of Gazprom reserves stands at $182.5 billion, Ananenkov said, pointing out that the amount doesn’t take into account Gazprom Neft reserves estimated at $24 billion. So, the aggregate worth of Gazprom reserves reaches $206.5 billion.“Our partners have definite confidence in reliability of resource base of Gazprom,” Ananenkov emphasized. As to the gas production, it will probably reach 670 billion cu meters in 2020, though the target is just 590 billion cu meters, Ananenkov said. “With positive or super-positive market environment, we can reach this level of production,” Ananenkov pointed out, specifying that 2010 production is forecasted at 560 billion cu meters at the maximum but may sour to 570 billion cu meters in case of need.LSE, Gazprom, Rosneft CEOs

MONTREAL -- Kimi Raikkonen might never top the number of victories or world championships won by Michael Schumacher.But he's taken a giant leap toward perhaps one day surpassing the retired Ferrari ace as the highest paid driver in the history of Formula One.Raikkonen, who left McLaren after five seasons to take over Schumacher's seat at Ferrari, reportedly will earn $51 million US this season -- a huge jump from the estimated $15 million he made last year.Schumacher, a seven-time world champ who retired at the end of last season, was the highest paid F1 driver ever at $62.4 million. He made at least another $17 million from personal endorsements and merchandising. In the sports world, only golfer Tiger Woods ($100 million) made more money than Schumacher.As was the case for Schumacher, Raikkonen's salary at Ferrari is footed by principal team sponsor Phillip Morris. The 27-year-old Finn's contract allows him to augment his earnings with commercial endorsements, something he was no

(Archived in: Related Miscellany Weblogs and Business)What do you think your blog may be worth? I was playing around on Dane Carlson's Website this morning. He has a tool on an old post that was created to estimate the value of a blog.This was inspired by Tristan Louis’s research, Dane created this applet back in 2005 that supposedly will compute and display the current value of a blog based on the the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal. You can read the theory behind it at Business Opportunities Weblog tool.I got to thinking it would be fun to put some well known and high ranking blogs in the tool to see what kind of dollar amounts would show up.

As far as income taxes are concerned, we have a "pay as you go" system. We called it this because income taxes are required to be paid as you generate taxable income either withholding or estimated tax payments.
