Neil Montgomery, Forest lake
I am very happy with the roofing result. Visually it impresses as excellent. Time and weather will no doubt test its durability. I will not hesitate to contact you should any unexpected issues arise. I commend your tradesmen. Brad, Aaron, Rob and Kevin. Their courtesy, consideration and attention to detail was noted and much appreciated. They take obvious pride in their work and impress as providing a quality result. The roof looks great. A friend of mine has already asked who did the work and how to contact your firm.
Mary McCarthy, North Ipswich
I just wanted to say that the two gentlemen working on the roof were very polite and extremely helpful. They always turned up on time, left the yard in an extremely tidy state at the end of the day and answered any questions which were asked in great depth. They were a pleasure to deal with. Regards,
D Glass, Shailer Park.
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for your assistance in my recent guttering dilemma. The prompt and efficient manner in which you handled this for me has restored my faith in human nature. The two lovely men Robbie and Raf who installed the guttering did such a great job, with a lovely smile and a pleasant and courteous nature., and not a swear word to be heard the whole time they were here. If this is the calibre of the staff you employ your success is guaranteed. Raf even went the extra yard and won my dog over..not an easy task as she has been abused and doesn't trust men (she didn't like the previous plumber) but Raf was determined to make friends with her and did. That meant a great deal to me. I would be more than happy should you require me to do so at any time, to endorse your company and the fine service you offer to any of your potential customers. Once again, many thanks
M Clifford, Basin Pocket

Regards, Gina, Walloon

For those who haven't seen it yet, Windows 10 includes a feature, WiFi Sense, that allows a user's friends to share WiFi access with others. For example, Bob might allow Alice to access his access point. With WiFi access, she never has to log in again to use Bob's network.
This doesn't necessarily give Alice access to network resources, just the Internet. However, access to the access point provides opportunities for using it to commit a crime while putting the blame on Bob. And then there's the chance that the barrier between Bob's guest network and his internal network isn't as strong as it should be.
WiFi Sense challenges arise when Alice decides to share the access capability with her friends. According to an article in Extreme Tech,
"WiFi Sense will automatically connect you to detected crowdsourced WiFi networks, acquire network information and provide "additional info" to networks that require it (it's not clear exactly what constitutes additional info), and can be used to automatically share your WiFi password with your contacts on Facebook, Skype, and Outlook.
That last feature is the potentially controversial one. When you turn on this feature of WiFi Sense (and it's not clear if the feature comes activated or not), it will request permission to connect to Outlook, Skype, and Facebook on your behalf. Other users on your friends list who also run Windows 10 will have their contact information shared with you as well, assuming they also enable the feature."
So whether questionable people might have access to Bob's access point depends on how Alice sets the switches during initial access.
Microsoft apparently has two solutions to this, neither of them acceptable to those of us who attempt to help keep systems secure. First, Bob can change the name of his SSID to include an opt out tag, as shown below,
Or he can set up the connection for Alice and make sure her sharing settings are properly set. Both options rely on Bob or Alice making the right choices. No one in security believes relying on human behavior for security is a good idea.
Microsoft, what were you thinking?

Often times people are confused about the interest rate when shopping for car loans and mortgages. Then they wonder if that rate can be compared to the interest they earn on an investment.
Typically, two different rates are quoted: Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is quoted when you're borrowing money and Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is quoted when you're investing money.
First an explanation of compounding. Let's say you invest $100 and you're going to earn 6% at the end of a year. That means you'll have $106.00 at the end of the year. (By the end of this post you'll know if that is APR or APY.) Then, that $106.00 earns 6% and at the end of year two you'll have $112.36. Kinda cool, right? An easy way to figure this is called the rule of 72. It's not exact, but pretty accurate. Take the interest you're earning, divide it into 72 and that's how long it takes your money to double. In our example, we're earning 6%; 6 goes into 72 twelve times, so in 12 years you'll have $200.
Albert Einstein said compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe.
APR does not take compounding throughout the year into account. So, if you're paying 1% each month, your APR is 12%, which is 1 X 12. Credit cards and other lenders will quote you APR and you'll soon see why. If you carried a balance on your credit card for one month and paid it off, you'd be paying 12%.
However, if you carried that same balance you'd be paying a higher rate of interest because you're carrying the balance and therefore compounding takes effect. That's when APY comes into play and the formula for calculating APY is much different than multiplying the rate times the number of periods as we did for APR. The APY formula is (1 + rate) raised to the power of the number of periods, then subtract one. So, we're paying 1% per month for 12 months, the calculation is: (1+.01) to the 12th power, then subtract one, or 12.68%.
Now you can see why creditors will quote you the APR and the banks where you're depositing your money will quote you APY. You have to be very careful with the rate quoted, not only when you are borrowing money, but also when you're investing money.
If you go to your credit card statement, you'll see the APR. Let me know what you come up with when you convert it to APY in the comments below. [Take APR, divide by 12, then (1 + what you just calculated) raised to the 12th power, then subtract one.]

Georgios Makridis had been trained as a Civil and Structural Engineer at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, before studying Architecture at the Oxford Brookes University where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, a Diploma in Architecture and a Master of Architecture.
Before setting his own practice, Georgios worked with George Stamatiou Architects (2008 - 2010, on contract) and Panayiotis Pierides (2011 - 2013) in Limassol, Cyprus. Since 2010, he has been developing architectural and spatial design work independently. In 2013 he founded do:gma (Design Office: Georgios Makridis), a practice currently involved in projects and competitions domestically and internationally. Later in the same year he founded D&RTT (Design and Research through Thinking), a practice which discusses and assumes space in its broadest possible definition.
Starting in 2011, Georgios taught in art studios in Cyprus for several years and his students have been successful candidates for undergraduate and post-graduate degrees in the UK. He also taught Introduction to Architecture at the University of Cyprus as a special scientist between 2014 and 2016. Georgios has also been an invited critic at the Oxford Brookes University School of Architecture, University of Cyprus School of Architecture and University of Nicosia School of Architecture. His research focuses on the mutual ground between architectural poiesis and contextual praxis, the social, the event, the narrative, the living and the literary.
Stelios Makrides graduated from the Higher Technical Institute of Cyprus more than 35 years ago. After working in several domestic construction projects, he pursued a career in teaching where he had the chance to train hundreds of students in subjects like Quantity Surveying, Materials, Technical Drawing, Structures, Construction and the like. His publication on Quantity Surveying is currently taught in technical schools in Cyprus. Stelios decided to retire from his teaching career and devote his self in Built Industry consulting in 2012.
Constantina Voskaridou graduated from Nottingham Trent University where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture and Master of Architecture. A guru of architectural research and a master in composition refinement and curation, she is usually occupied with making architectural sense out of scattered nonsense, organising dense ideas into steps of rationality, and keeping a log of our otherwise uncategorised reality. Her alleged affiliation with systematic sects is still under thorough investigation.
Orestis Pavlides studied Architecture at the University of Cyprus and practiced the craft in the Netherlands before joining aboard and become responsible for tackling unprecedented hard-core representation tasks, debating on long-established politics in design, and teaching the rest by learning by himself to perform under technical and regulatory entropy. Meticulous definitions on the lot that transform eyebrows to ottoman arches, questionable music compilations that somehow make sense, and a natural way of setting aside the self for the benefit of the group are all in the same shop - go figure!
Always do:gma
Theodora Paschali graduated from Sheffield University where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture. Her interests spread well beyond any border one could frame architecture with, as she is into film, video games and fantasy literature regarding their architecture and conceptual position. A well-trained design ninja, Theodora can easily be in between 3 projects, excel in all, be invisible and drink tea out of cartoon shaped mug.
Constantina Charalambous holds a Master of Architecture from De Montfort University, that followed a BArch at the University of Nottingham. An architectural stuntlady with a 'bring it on' attitude and an acrobat between software, design moods, and disciplines, she seeks motivation in the fundamental to deliver excellence. The magnitude of her design skills includes sensibility and sensitivity in architectural, spatial, graphic and industrial applications, as it includes the same virtues in culinary and otherwise indulging experiences.
Cleovoulos Aristarchou holds a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from the Nottingham Trent University. His interests are within the topics of dwelling, cities and morphogenesis and he is most frequently found in between readings, drawings and ideas. A natural born leader, Cleovoulos manages to smile at every situation making himself a valuable member of the studio. A series of rumours connecting him with a 24/7 thinking on architecture has begun to spread and nobody seems to deny it.

Opening Day a holiday? It already is
It will never happen.
Then again ...
It will never happen.
Then again ...
"There are 22 million people who have, at some point in time, played hooky from work or school, so it's already an unofficial holiday," Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith told MLB.com during a video chat last week, when discussing his desire to turn Major League Baseball's Opening Day into an official holiday."
To which I say, go for it. Big time. For starters, if I leave any word out to describe what travels through the hearts of those who have experienced Opening Day in person or through radio, television or searching the deepest part of their imagination, feel free to contribute to the following: Optimism, anticipation, hope, energy, joy, belief, dreams.
Wise men have called baseball our national pastime forever, and they've done so for good reason. It is so American, with Opening Day in the forefront. The combination inspired William Howard Taft to trigger a trend among presidents after 1910, when he threw out the ceremonial first pitch on Opening Day for the Senators in Washington. There was Opening Day of 1968, which helped soothe fractured souls that early April after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. There also was 9-11, when the spirit of a second Opening Day -- with the resumption of play in September -- during that 2001 season contributed to the psychological recovery. That's because, with the world watching, President Bush threw a symbolic perfect strike inside Yankee Stadium.
Then came last April 16, barely two weeks after Opening Day, when the Red Sox spent that day after the Boston Marathon bombing dedicating the rest of the season to the victims with a "Boston Strong" commitment.
The Red Sox eventually won the World Series.
So, with that power of Opening Day in mind, Smith needs 100,000 signatures within the next 30 days through the We the People petitioning program. No problem there, not with the folks at Anheuser-Busch Inbev's Budweiser brand using its considerable mite to spur the process. Then, with signatures in hand, the Obama Administration would have to review the request along the way to getting Congress involved and legislation passed.
Done. Well, um, let's keep our bats crossed.
Smith added during his MLB.com video chat, "We're just trying to make it an official holiday by getting those 100,000 signatures, so I can march them up to the front of the White House."
Imagine such a sight. I'm guessing Smith would arrive at the West Gate in a wagon pulled by Clydesdales. And his attire? Red, of course, including a red cap with that distinctive redbird resting on a yellow bat to commemorate Smith's 15 seasons with the Cardinals through 1996.
After shaking President Obama's hand and hugging Michelle at the front door, Smith would give them a replica of one of his Gold Gloves as a gift. Actually, he would give the Obamas the real thing since he has 13 of them. Then Smith and the president would retreat to the Oval Office, where Smith would explain how the famously spirited time on Opening Day around the Gateway Arch is partly responsible for why St. Louis hugs its baseball team so tightly. Plus, you just know President Obama would share more than a few stories on his love affair with the White Sox.
Maybe this really will happen.
If nothing else, it's splendid that Smith is trying, along with the beer folks who helped make his Cardinals famous.
"The excitement that is created by Opening Day -- not only in St. Louis, but across the country -- is what this [petition] is all about," Smith continued, telling MLB.com that his efforts to legalize Opening Day as a holiday will include online videos featuring highlights from Opening Day games from the past. In addition, Budweiser plans to celebrate Opening Day across the Major Leagues by serving day-fresh draught beer in ballparks selling Anheuser-Busch products.
Smith and the beer folks are trying like crazy, all right. If any of their marketing ploys are successful in getting the government to transform Opening Day into something like the spring version of Christmas or Thanksgiving, it would make a slew of baseball fans gleeful.
I should say more gleeful.
They can't get significantly more gleeful in Cincinnati, where Opening Day has been a local obsession for generations. In fact, all of that part of southwestern Ohio begins each regular season with sort of a baseball Mardi Gras to celebrate the Reds as the first professional baseball team. I experienced all of this while living in the city as a youth. On Opening Day, schools unofficially close, and so do most businesses shy of hospitals and law-enforcement agencies.
The whole process is breathtaking, starting with the days, weeks, months leading to Opening Day.
It's coming. It's COMING.
Around Greater Cincinnati, you hear that from the end of the regular season, through the middle of winter, right up to the announcement in early March of the grand marshal of the Findlay Market Parade. That's right, the baseball-crazed citizens of Cincinnati have a parade every Opening Day, and they've done so since the early 20th century. The past grand marshals have been former Reds greats such as Frank Robinson, Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan. The parade starts at noon, and it winds through downtown.
Then comes the game, and it's always packed. In case you're wondering, the Reds will open this season against ... the Cardinals. So here's a thought: How about anointing President Obama as the grand marshal of the Findlay Market Parade, with Smith steering the Clydesdales?

What are you, some kinda Burger Freak?
We've all been there, someone calls you a Burger Freak and you think about it and then happily agree. Hey, it doesn't hurt, to be honest with yourself. Burger Freak in Ft. Lauderdale fills the void for your kind, um..err….our kind. The menu has some interesting concoctions on it, check them out below:
I really dig Burger Freak's sideshow theme. The walls are covered with old Sideshow/Carny Posters. I almost felt right at home.
There are plenty of options but I wanted to keep it simple for my first order. There's a Hot Dog called the Beast but it's half a pound and if I'm planning on having a Burger too it would be a bad idea. I end up with the Grilled Devil Dog (half a Beast) and throw in a cup of their "Hamburger Chili". On the Burger side, I create my own: 6 oz. Angus Patty, Brioche Bakery Kaiser with Bacon and Cheddar Cheese (American was not available).
The "Hamburger Chili" is Hormel's Chili and if I'm wrong (which is doubtful in this case) then it must be closest replica to it I've ever tasted. If you like Hormel canned Chili then this is for you, for me it was not. There went my original plan to dip the dog in the Chili! I liked the toasted fluffy bread my Dog was served in. The jumbo half Hot Dog was split in half and crisped up. Some raw Onions and Yellow Mustard rounded out my toppings for the Grilled Devil Dog.
The Fries are "Natural Cut Fries" which means they're not fresh cut but are as close as you can get by using the frozen stuff. And the Burger? The Burger is a top notch fast style Burger. I just wish they had American Cheese as I think it's a better option for this type of Burger.
I'd like to go back and try out one of their specialty Burgers, maybe The Sword Swallower (Burger topped with Sliced Italian Sausage) or The Two Headed Man (Burger topped with Hot Dog). Meat on Meat action, isn't that what it's all about my fellow Burger Freaks?
For Freaks & Geeks:
The Burger Freak is CLOSED
6326 N Andrews Ave, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309

RP Broadcasting has been serving the Bemidji area since 1990. Owner Roger Paskvan bought WBJI Radio in 1990, and purchased KKBJ-AM and KKBJ-FM in 1994.
Since high school, Roger enjoyed the field of radio broadcasting. While going to school in Grand Forks he was employed as chief engineer at KNOX radio. After moving to Bemidji, Roger worked as the consultant engineer for KKBJ. He also pursued a dream of obtaining a FCC Fm broadcast station license. This was a new channel that would be brought into Bemidji.
The license was granted in 1990 and the radio station was constructed above the present two-way building. WBJI began broadcasting in Sept. 1991 with an oldies format. The transmitter and antenna found a home on an existing 500 ft tower north of town.
Four years later, radio station KKBJ AM-FM was purchased and all the broadcasting facilities moved into that facility south of town.
Currently, R.P. Broadcasting has 20 employees and continues providing entertainment for the Bemidji area.

Dr. Zoe Hart
I never really thought the role of a Doctor would suit Rachel Bilson. In Hart of Dixie, that's precisely her character. I still can't quite wrap my head around the idea. However, as a bubbly fashionista from New York City trying to set down roots in Alabama, I can't help but keep tuning in. – S x D

That does seem odd. But more power to her!
I like her as Zoe! :)
Love this show! Her character is awesome, she plays it so well! Kinda makes me want to visit one of those small towns and meet a Lemon-type character. Too funny…

Pan Fried Fish
Last Sunday, I wanted to buy some fish, so I went to Fair price supermarket to hunt for the fillet. I went to the frozen food section, saw this Fish & Co. frozen Sutchi fillet. Immediately I took a packet. This fillet is skin less, bone less. Now, lets look at my pan fried Sutchi fillet recipe.
Ingredients for Pan Fried Fish :
Sutchi Fillets : 2 no's
2 tsp Olive oil
1/2 tsp Red Chilli Powder
1/4 tsp Coriander Powder
1 pinch Turmeric Powder
Salt: as per taste
Side dishes :
Lettuce 6 leaves
2 no's Mashed potato combined with salt and ghee
1 no grated Carrot
To prepare Pan Fried Fish :
1. After defroze the fillet, wash and dry with kitchen towel.
2. Mix Red Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder, Turmeric Powder and salt and sprinkle it on both sides of the fillet.
3. Heat non stick pan with oil and place the fillets and shallow fry until golden brown on both sides.
4. Pan fried sutchi fillet is ready to serve. Serve it as side dish with rice or serve it with mashed potato, chopped lettuce and grated Carrot as shown in the picture.
Tips / Notes:
- U can use Fish Fillet instead of Sutchi fillet.
- U can Immerge the fish in the egg, then cover both sides with the bread crumb before pan frying. This will give more crunchiness outer layer.
- U can sprinkle salt and Pepper powder Instead of Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder.
So try this recipe and write back to us…We love to hear from you.

Vaxxas Selected as World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer 2015
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and Cambridge, Mass., USA – August 26, 2014 – Vaxxas, a biotechnology company commercializing a novel vaccine delivery platform, has been named a 2015 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. Vaxxas is one of 24 emerging technology companies from around the world and across all industries recognized for their potential to transform the future of business and society.
Vaxxas is developing the Nanopatch™, a novel vaccine delivery platform designed to enable more efficient, effective, and safer vaccination than needle and syringe. The Nanopatch™ achieves these benefits by directly targeting delivery of vaccine components to the abundant immunological cells immediately below the surface of the skin, resulting in robust immune system activation at much lower doses than required by needle injection. Vaccines delivered by the Nanopatch™ platform have the potential to provide vastly improved immune protection at significantly lower cost. Furthermore, when vaccines are dry-coated onto the proprietary Nanopatch™, they have thermostable properties, which means that the billions of dollars needed to maintain the cold-chain may someday be reinvested toward more pressing priorities in global health systems. Vaxxas is pursuing strategic plans to both license its technology to global pharmaceutical companies as well as advance vaccine candidates on its own.
"We are so pleased to receive this recognition from the World Economic Forum," said David L. Hoey, President and CEO of Vaxxas. "It's really a validation of our potential. Indeed, we see a significant number of opportunities where our technology can have a dramatic positive impact on improving global health, and we are actively seeking financial and strategic partners with the resources and expertise to support our global commercial plans."
Each year the World Economic Forum chooses a select number of Technology Pioneers from hundreds of applicants. Candidate companies are nominated by Members, constituents and collaborators of the World Economic Forum, and by the public. A selection committee, comprised of top technology and innovation experts, academics and venture capitalists, reviews all applications before making its recommendation to the World Economic Forum.
About the World Economic Forum
The World Economic Forum is an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. Incorporated as a not-for-profit foundation in 1971 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the Forum is tied to no political, partisan or national interests.

Hey. you know that time you escaped from the evil mastermind's lair to the helipad, and there was a totally unguarded helicopter, blades spinning, but you realized you don't have a pilot's license so you had to walk home? I'm here to tell you that next time, you're riding in style. Also, stop talking to strangers.
The first important step is to determine if the helicopter is French*. Try sniffing. If you smell cheese, do the exact opposite of what I'm about to tell you with your feet, because the blades spin the wrong way.
Good. So you're sitting in the left or front seat of your American-made helicopter and its clockwise (looking up) spinning rotor. There's a stick on your left. That's the collective, it makes you go up and down.
There are one or two sticks between your legs, depending on physical gender. The bigger one is the joystick, and it makes you go forward because that's all you can handle right now.
There are pedals at your feet. They do a bunch of stuff you don't need to know about. Put your feet on the pedals, push until they're even, and keep your feet on them for the duration of the flight.
Now gently pull the collective up while pushing on your left* foot. Ignore the people shooting at you; if the mastermind had time to train them to shoot, they wouldn't have left the helicopter running and unguarded. Go slowly, because if you screw this up you're hamburger. If you've done it right, you've only spun a little to the right*, and you're a foot in the air.
Now gently push the joystick forward a little bit.
If you've got a bit of space, just keep it there until the helicopter rises off like a graceful bird. If you're in a mountain fortress, more collective and more left* pedal. Once you're above the trees, buildings, and terrain around you, pop open the champagne, champ, because you made it.
I'm just kidding about the champagne. Drinking and flying is a terrible idea. We'll deal with landing next time.

It's official! "The Pinky Promise" & "No Randoms" Bracelets are in!! The MOVEMENT has begun!!
What is a Random? $10 each
For the single person: It's a person that you know you'll never marry but you date them because you're lonely or to fill a void. It's that ex that you KNOW isn't any good for you but you keep going back to them because you're comfortable. It's also for those unhealthy friendships that are distracting you and pulling you away from Christ. What a beautiful reminder that we COMMIT our whole lives to Christ daily.
For the married person: It's saying that you won't allow unhealthy relationships to affect your marriage. This could be a co-worker or an ex boyfriend or girlfriend that is trying to connect with you emotionally or physically. It could be that friend that talks about your spouse in a negative way or gossips about everyone and anything. "No Randoms" is a reminder of Proverbs 4:23 "Guard your heart, because out of your heart flows the issues of life"
What does Pinky Promise mean? $10 each
For the single person: It's a promise to honor God with your body. To refuse to give your body to anyone that hasn't paid the price for you called marriage. It's a promise to stay pure before God in EVERY single way. It's a promise that says, I won't test the boundaries in my relationship to see how far I can push it sexually--but instead--I want God to have my heart.
For the married person: It's a promise to God that you will honor your marriage convenant. It's saying that I promise not to step outside of my marriage, cheat on my spouse and that I'll work through every issue.
Key & Respect Charms $8 each
We also wanted to introduce the key & respect charms. A man's number one need is respect and the key is the key to your heart ladies. We want YOU ladies to hold both the respect ring and the key to your heart. NO man should have that key to your heart until he proposes to you, walks you down the aisle & marries you. The respect charm is something you should ALWAYS keep with you. It's a reminder to respect your man and to not undermine him. You can add these to your favorite necklace or keep them in your wallet.
Just a few things before you purchase!
- "No Randoms" & "Pinky Promise" Tees will be available in the mid-February!
- Not ALL charms on your bracelet are the same! Each bracelet is specially handcrafted and no two bracelets are the same. The charms are subject to availability and are given out randomly with your purchase!
- A special gift is included in each package!

- If you have ANY questions--please email firstname.lastname@example.com
- Due to the high demand--these bracelets may take 7-10 business days before arrival. Please be patient and it will be "worth the wait!" :)

--Tim Kelly, President/Consumer Division, Sprint Nextel
To achieve sustained competitive advantage, you must create and deliver something that's valuable, rare, and hard to imitate—and you can't do that with a run-of-the-mill workforce. Your workforce needs to be strikingly different, obsessively focused on delivering on your unique value proposition. Compared with everyone else's workforce, your people need to be downright strange!
This book is about everything it takes to build a workforce that's strange and extraordinary enough to execute your most powerful strategies and your unique value proposition. It's about understanding exactly how your workforce needs to be different...creating an end-to-end Strange Workforce Value Chain...implementing workforce systems that support your unique goals...establishing detailed metrics based on what makes you unique...using those metrics to drive clarity throughout your entire organization, and steer it toward success.
If you're tasked with executing strategy through people, and "balanced scorecards" and "strategy maps" just haven't been enough, take your next and greatest leap forward: make the Change to Strange.
· Why "normal" workforces just won't cut it anymore
Everyone says their people make the difference. Most everyone's wrong.
· Create your strange workforce in four steps
Imagine, pinpoint your gaps, prioritize, and act.

As any watch sold by Atelier du Bracelet Parisien, we offer you a free customized strap in addition to the original strap of your watch. After your purchase, we will contact you by email to confirm the leather you pick, the tone, options of customization, your wrist size. To see our Hanhart watches, click here.
History of watches : Hanhart
The name of Hanhart, more than any other, has long been synonymous with precision timekeeping. With its own innovative developments, the Swiss-German brand was a pioneer in the manufacture of stopwatches and wrist chronographs. Ever since the company was first established, all of Hanhart's timepieces have been geared towards a few simple principles: maximum precision and reliability, perfect readability, simple and secure operation, and the greatest possible robustness. And we are still conforming to these standards today in the development of our stopwatches and chronographs. This makes them ideal accessories for use in the air, on the land on the sea. Our brand slogan, "Mastering the Elements", is an unequivocal obligation for us.
Thanks to cutting-edge knowledge and skills, the long-standing tradition and expertise of its own manufactory, which has its origins in the watch business established by Johann A. Hanhart in Diessenhofen in 1882, and the first-class functionality of all products, Hanhart is today a worldwide market leader and the most important producer of precision timepieces.
We intend to develop Hanhart even further, to tap into new markets and to win over new customers through clear and rigorous brand management. We are breaking new ground with innovative products which stand at the heart of the brand and whose aesthetics and technology distinguish them from the mundane. In so doing, we are honouring our origins, yet also building a bridge into the future. Thomas Morf, CEO
Foundation of Hanhart
The sun glows red in the evening sky over the little town of Diessenhofen, located on the River Rhine in northeast Switzerland, as the watchmaker Johann A. Hanhart sits down, takes out a pen and paper and drafts an announcement. He "respectfully informs the worthy residents of Diessenhofen and surroundings" that he has purchased a business and its premises at the town's Hauptstrasse with the intention of opening a watch shop.
The notice appeared in the "Anzeiger am Rhein" newspaper on 1 July 1882. Johann A. Hanhart, who was born in Diessenhofen on 11 May 1856, went on to serve the community as mayor for a number of years before relocating his business in 1902 to Schwenningen in southern Germany, the stronghold of watchmaking.
The innovative epoch
The family of entrepreneurs experienced an initial and extremely innovative epoch here in the 1920s when the youngest Hanhart son, Wilhelm Julius, who was born in Schwenningen on 31 October 1902, joined the business and established the watch manufactory.
Wolrd's first reasonably priced mechanical stopwatch
This sport-loving Willy Hanhart introduced the world's first reasonably priced mechanical stopwatch in 1924. He had participated in a track and field sports meeting in the previous year, for which the organizers had great difficulty in finding even four stopwatches of varying quality.
These timepieces came exclusively from Switzerland at that time and were only available at exorbitant prices – if at all – since essentially only individual watches were produced to order. The young man became so irritated by this that he decided to manufacture stopwatches himself. In association with a watchmaker, he conceived and designed the first reasonably priced mechanical stopwatch – and in doing so he pressed the start button for the company that leads the stopwatch sector to this day.
Hanhart did not let up
The first pocket watches and wristwatches extended the product range. Willy Hanhart concentrated on manufacturing his own movement blanks. A second manufactory, which continues to manufacture the Hanhart stopwatch collection to this day, was established in Gütenbach in 1934 as part of the planned expansion of the business.
This was followed by the market launch of a complicated split-second stopwatch in 1935. New and increasingly intricate models went into production. Even in those days, first-class precision in perfected form was one of the maxims of the company.
The single – button "calibre 40″
1938 marked the start of a new epoch in the history of the company – when the first Hanhart chronograph model entered series production. This was the single-button "Calibre 40", which would soon become established as the company's main product and its new re-issue as the "Primus" model has become a coveted collectors' piece and connoisseur's item.
The legendary pilot's chronographs followed
The legendary "Calibre 41" and "TachyTele" pilot's chronographs followed in 1939 – with a red painted button to prevent unintentional resetting.
During the Second World War, pilots and naval officers wore Hanhart chronographs which were capable of withstanding the most severe tests. In addition, the company – like virtually the entire German watch industry– supplied military material. At the end of the war, the businesses in Schwenningen and Gütenbach were looted and dismantled, most of the machines were taken to France. Willy Hanhart was interned on a specious pretext and the business was compulsorily wound up. His tax trustees advised him to file for bankruptcy. Instead, with the support of his wife Gertraud, he embarked on the reconstruction of his factory in Gütenbach.
1947 he flees to Switzerland and did not return to Germany until 1949. In the two years he acquired his first machines in exchange for chronograph wristwatches, and his employees collected movements along with small machines and tools from secure hiding places.
Production of the chronograph "Admiral"
The production of chronographs was resumed in 1948. Under a commission from the French, Hanhart manufactured the "Admiral" chronograph – especially for doctors and military officers. Precision timepieces were supplied to Navys.
Production was once again running at full speed by the early 1950s. Hanhart concentrated increasingly on the manufacture of mechanical stopwatches and at the same time introduced a variety of innovative products onto the market such as automatic timers and the "Sans Souci" wristwatch alarm.
The first time at the swiss watch fair at Basel
The company headquarters were rebuilt in Schwenningen in 1952. In the same year, Hanhart participated for the first time in the Swiss Watch Fair – now known as Baselworld. After equipping the German Armed Forces, formed in 1955, with pilot's chronographs, their manufacture ceased in 1962 and gradually also the production of wristwatches. This was the age of the stopwatch! Driven as always by the highly motivated Willy Hanhart, with his active involvement in sport, the watchmakers of Gütenbach continued to develop new models. In 1962, Hanhart repeated his coup of 1924: with the "Amigo" he took the market by surprise with a new stopwatch. The company became the market leader and Europe's largest producer of mechanical stopwatches.
Hanhart now moved up a gear
Hanhart now moved up a gear and commissioned an additional production facility in Neukirch in 1963. There is hardly a school or sports club in Germany in which Hanhart stopwatches are not used for time recording.
The age of the quartz watch then dawned in 1972. Hanhart established an in-house plastics injection moulding plant and developed a quartz movement, which was sold by the millions.
Customers included well-known companies which used the movement in their own alarm clocks and watches or Hanhart produced products according to their design. Then the first cheap quartz movements arrived on the market from the Far East. Pressure on prices increased, and the volume of sales fell.
The calibre 3305
The Gütenbach manufacturer responded to this offensive from the Far East by developing a low-priced movement of its own, the Calibre 3305, in 1981. This went into production in 1982. No fewer than 40 million units were sold! In 1983, Willy Hanhart's son-in-law, Klaus Eble, who had joined the company in 1966, took over the management of the business.
The Pilot's chronograph as replica
With the rediscovery of traditional art of watchmaking, in the 1990s Hanhart turned to another of its own earlier pioneering achievements: the legendary Hanhart pilot's chronograph of 1939 was presented as a replica at the Antiques Fair in Furtwangen in August 1997. Every detail of the original's case and dial was copied with the greatest care, from the old Hanhart lettering to the asymmetrical offset of the buttons.
The limited edition of 2,500 pieces sold out in only a short time. Spurred on by this success, the Gütenbach company immediately followed it up with the manufacture of the "TachyTele" pilot's chronograph. These replica chronographs have become coveted collector's pieces and connoisseur's items for those with a penchant for fine precision watches.
Dornier by Hanhart
Hanhart watches are increasingly developing into exclusive objects for collectors and connoisseurs of fine precision watches. The "Primus" single-button chronograph appeared in 2003.
The German company became a pioneer in its own time, too, and introduced the "Dornier by Hanhart" model in 2004. The impetus came from Irén Dornier, the grandson of the famous aircraft designer Claude Dornier. From the Gütenbach company he commissioned a chronograph which is dedicated to the legendary Do-X flying boat and which accompanied him on an extraordinary journey: Irén Dornier has flown around the world in a historic seaplane wearing the Hanhart chronograph on his wrist.
125th anniversary – two special editions
Two special editions were issued in 2007 to mark the 125th anniversary of the company. These reflect the firm's history: the "Opus 41" and "Spirit of Racing". The "Opus 41" hand-wound chronograph in platinum, equipped with an original, historic Hanhart "Calibre 41" column wheel movement, is limited to 39 watches. The high-quality "Spirit of Racing" collector's set, comprising the classic Hanhart "Minos" wristwatch as well as a special model of a rattrapante flyback stopwatch, recognizes the spirit of 125 years of time recording for sporting competitions.
The World – first "Tachymaster"
Also dedicated to this spirit is the world-first "Tachymaster" model, which Hanhart brought to the market in 2008. This watch provides passionate classic rally drivers with an entirely novel and innovative tool on the rally stages. The watch shows the target time for the stage, making the individual stage times much easier to manage. With the launch of the "Tachymaster" for classic rallies, this old-established watch manufactory underlines its prominent position as Europe's leading manufacturer of stopwatches.
Fondation of Hanhart AG
Hanhart AG was founded January 31st, 2008; the official starting date was exactly 126 years after the foundation of the Hanhart company, on 1 July 2008. The company has its headquarters in the Swiss town of Diessenhofen on the River Rhine, at Hauptstrasse 17, – only a few steps from the building in which Johann A. Hanhart opened his watch shop in 1882.
The company's area of responsibility is for the positioning of the company's chronographs internationally. Klaus J. Eble continues as director of production and stopwatch sales in Gütenbach.
The primus Collection is launched
Working in close collaboration with the manufacture workshops in Gütenbach and highly specialised suppliers from the Swiss watch sector, a new, progressively designed collection of mechanical chronographs was developed under the name "Primus" and presented for the first time at Baselworld 2009.
It builds on the tradition and expertise of the own manufacture workshops and combines historical features – such as the unmistakeable ret button, which has distinguished Hanhart watches since 1939 – with state-of-the-art technology and progressive design. The Pilot, Racer and Diver models are based on the brand's core competence: high-precision, extremely reliable and robust instrument watches for use in the air, on the land and on the sea.
New Ceo in Thomas Morf – New majority shareholder in the Gaydoul Group
Thomas Morf took over as CEO of Hanhart on 1 October 2011. At the same time, through the expansion of its holding in Hanhart Group AG, Gaydoul Group AG, Switzerland, has become the company's majority shareholder.
The further expansion of the Hanhart brand will be based on its fascinating and unique history, as well as a high level of technical expertise and an unwavering focus on instrument watches. The collection will be extended by the addition of new models, patterned on the legendary Hanhart timepieces, which will also set new benchmarks in the future; in the air, on the land and on the sea. The brand claim 'Mastering the Elements' underlines this high standard clearly and unmistakeably.
Hanhart is presenting new Pioneer Models
At the Baselworld 2011, Hanhart presented three new models from its Pioneer collection. In terms of their design and the technology used, the MonoControl, the TwinControl and the TwinDicator are based on the brand's legendary chronographs, thus carrying on the company's long tradition and maintaining its high level of expertise while implementing these qualities in a contemporary way. With the hour counter integrated into the small seconds and the displays positioned right on the edge of the dial, the Pioneer TwinDicator in particular is a highlight of the collection.

🎵🎼Count the weeks as days (count the weeks as days)
Count the months as weeks (months as weeks, weeks as days…)
Count the weeks as days, in a moment we'll be going home🎵🎼
This throwback song from college days lingered in my head as the month of March approached. Time indeed flies, hey wait for me! I vividly remember orientation camp days and all the activities that followed. How come it's over?!
Dear Naija Corper,
What's next?
Some of us have looked forward to this day from the very first day we entered while some others are hoping it continues, either ways this phase has gradually come to a conclusion and it's time we face reality. How prepared are we to face what comes after?
The question of what next, comes into play, no more "allawee", free accommodation (for some people) etc…. As the NYSC phase is ending, I would love us to have these tips
1. Get prepared.
The population of Corp members entering into the economic market is likened to a bucket of sand so what are you doing to be outstanding! Get yourself ready, equip yourself with skills, re-strategize, package your CV. Don't wait for it to always happen. Make it happen, create it.
2. Be empowered
By this I mean stay informed. Outside sending out your CVs, empower yourself. There are free seminars and workshop programs that are organized these days. Keep abreast with the happenings around you. Don't just fall back at home and wait till you're told there's a vacancy before you apply, move around. Be informed.
3. Improve
There's always room for improvement. If the jobs are not coming yet, take free online courses to keep your mind and brain updated any course in your line of interest would be preferable . Or you can engage yourself in learning skills. Thanks to the SAED program which created a platform for acquiring these useful skills. You can volunteer for a job placement or as a care giver. In the long run, you'd be grateful you did.
As another phase approaches, seize it with positivity and determination ready to conquer whatever challenges and fears come along. This phase is a road one must be willing to go on with courage, persistence and consistency.
Never give up! You made it through NYSC….
See you at the top!

Harmonic Overtones
November 7th - December 5th
Octavia Art Gallery
454 Julia St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Many thanks to Octavia Art Gallery for a beautiful show and wonderful opening exhibition and thanks to everyone who came out, even my grandson! Please enjoy some images from the opening reception on November 7th. The gallery will be closed November 26-28 for Thanksgiving but the exhibition will be up until December 5th so please drop by if you are in the area!
Excerpt from Octavia Press Release
"Octavia Art Gallery is pleased to present new work by artists Julie Robinson and Greta Van Campen. This will be the second exhibition with the gallery for Robinson and the first for Van Campen. Julie Robinson's mixed media works on Mylar are beautiful examples of lyrical abstraction. Inspired by the ethereal, her paintings push beyond what we encounter everyday, creating spaces that are both playful and meditative. Composed by layering numerous glazes and intuitive gestural marks, there is a depth and immediacy in her work. Robinson's work is balanced in its ability to be both familiar yet fresh, and energetic yet tranquil. There is a fluidity and cohesion to her work that makes each mark appear to be part of the next, tapping into the intuitive aspects of our human nature."
Next Exhibition:
L Ross Gallery
5040 Sanderlin Ave
Memphis, TN 38117
My next show will be held at the L Ross Gallery in Memphis, TN as part of her 10th anniversary group exhibition in mid-January. The exact dates are in the works but please stay tuned! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Update on Fang:
Between pool and BBQ, he whispered, "I have a confession: I smoke. You don't smoke, right?" Right! I couldn't say anything at the time, but I checked his profile after the date and it read, "Never" under smoking. Since he had expressed interest in another date and smoking is a deal breaker for me, I wrote rather than ignore him:
Hey, It was nice meeting you. However, it was a red flag to me that your profile says you don't smoke and you do. I would suggest updating that fact so that women aren't misled. Otherwise, I wish you the best in the dating scene.
Too candid? I blame you all. You have unleashed me into this dating Middle-earth.
Today I was supposed to have a second date with Slim, "an awesome father" and claims to have the following obscure knowledge: I can cook, fix, or build just about anything. Except maybe furniture from Ikea. Isn't IKEA furniture supposedly the simplest furniture to manufacture in house? It's the disassembling that makes IKEA a sinister pack of SOBs. Jim responded: How about we… fill two flasks and then hit up the Boston Harbor Islands. However, I cancelled last night because I wasn't feeling so hot today.
I have another date tomorrow, with another father, or as you would know him, the Man With Flu Too Much, as in he cancelled last Monday because he had the flu. I thought it was a line he pulled because he lost interest. To my surprise, he followed up and rescheduled. I'll be wearing a skirt because we are going with a more traditional dinner and drinks theme.
I have had roughly ten guys show interest, particularly those dates that involve alcohol. I haven't accepted all the date offers for a few reasons:
- Shallowness
- insert unibrows
- Psychosis
- posting 56 dates = desperation?
- Abnormalities/Creepy
- 37 year old man who wants to be a marshmallow peep. And no, you did not misread that
- because he looks like one of my Russian relatives

Some of the best advice I ever received/
In these troubled economic times when I'm often tempted to take the remaining pittance I have accumulated out of the stock market, stuff it in a sock, find my nearest member of the legislative branch and beat him senseless with it, I am constantly reminding myself of the advice given to me long ago about playing the market:
"Bears make money. Bulls make money. Pigs make no money. Don't be a pig, son."
Mostly, after all this time, I think I know what he meant.
I wish others did too.

Neighborhood Highlights
The neighborhood of Berkeley lies in the center of Denver, in the area known as Northwest Denver. Berkeley Park has seen some rapid development in recent years, with many new businesses opening up in the area, and an influx of new residences drawn in by the beauty of the park and the charm of the neighborhood. The area is home to a good selection of restaurants, spas, and boutique stores, many of which are found along Tennyson Avenue.
There is a particular high concentration of art galleries in the Berkeley area. This is a very artistic community and there always seems to be something going on, whether it is an evening of live music or a night of experimental theater. Tennyson Street is the center of the Berkeley community, and it has given its name to the Tennyson Street Cultural Association, which is responsible for many interesting events in the neighborhood. The association organizes the First Friday Art Walk and runs the Oriental Theater, which hosts comedy, music, and movies. Many of the homes in the Berkeley area are in the style locally known as the Denver Square, although there are a range of different buildings from lofts to townhouses to family homes.
