Printing major R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (RRD) recently announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Edgar Online Inc. (:EDGR) for approximately $70.5 million. Following the news of the acquisition, Edgar Online shares shot up 50% to close at $1.08 on May 22, 2012.
Donnelley expects to make the payment through a combination of $1.092 per share in cash, including Edgar Online's debt amounting to $1.7 million as of March 31, 2012 and an amount equal to the redemption price of the preferred shares. The acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter of 2012.
Rockville, Maryland-based Edgar Online is a leading provider of financial data, analytics and disclosure management solutions. EDGAR Online is an industry leader in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) processing.
The company boasts of an enviable clientele including Donnelley, Moody's (MCO), Intel (INTC), Verizon (VZ), Oracle (ORCL) and SAP (SAP) to name a few. Donnelley contributed 26.8% of Edgar Online's total revenue in 2011.
We believe that Donnelley is paying a slight premium for the company (due to the debt it is acquiring). However, we consider the Edgar Online acquisition to be a wise move, given the fact that the traditional commercial printing segment is on a secular decline.
Currently, the company is facing a significant threat from digital technologies that enable much easier transfer, designing, resetting and reproduction of data. This affects big projects, such as books and journals, where printed pages are much higher.
Additionally, with publishers increasingly coming out with digital versions of books and sophisticated e-book readers from Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) and Barnes & Noble Inc. (BKS) for reading these books becoming increasingly available, the interest in commercially printed paperbacks and hard covers is waning.
Donnelley needs to expand its scope beyond this traditional business and the current acquisition is likely to take it in that direction. Edgar Online is a well established name in the XBRL and disclosure market with a strong clientele.
We believe that the acquisition will diversify Donnelley's revenue base going forward. Donnelley expects Edgar Online to be accretive from the first year of acquisition.
We believe Donnelley is focusing on acquisitions to expand and enhance its offering to its current customers, as well as to create more opportunities for its products to reach new clients. The company's continued focus on acquisitions will also spur its already dominant market position and drive long-term growth, in our view.
However, we expect Donnelley to remain under pressure due to weak macroeconomic conditions prevailing in most of its current as well as prospective markets. Moreover, higher pension expenses, continuing pricing pressure, volatility in raw material prices and a highly leveraged balance sheet are significant headwinds going forward.
Thus, we remain Neutral over the long term. Currently, Donnelley has a Zacks #3 Rank, which implies a Hold rating in the short term (1-3 months).

Instead Of The Griffin Prize* All I Get Is The Griffin** Or What I Get For Reading Too Much Godd*mned Charles Bukowski - A Poem-In-Cheek - Poem by Warren Falcon
for Karthik gone almost a year now,
so much for mythology
I live
beneath a rock under a rusted old half-
bridge beneath the only cloud on earth
that doesn't move unless a rare bird,
a big one, flies beneath it.
I would be magic.
The rare bird, large,
avoids any attachment to other than me.
Sh*ts on my head.
I make a cup of tea.
Listen to Bach (J.S) ,
Gould's, The Goldberg, ***
keep pointing to the radio
shaking my head muttering,
whistling between fragments.
I open the curtain at midnight and wait.
Lights of the big planes shine directly
in on me. Like that godd*mned bird,
they're in my flight path.
I am nervous.
But they don't fly over.
They don't sh*t on my head.
Still, I wait there till very early in the
morning, till just before sunrise.
Close call, I say.
I draw the curtain,
fall hard into bed covering my head
with a pillow, the gold multi-mirrored
pillowcase, a gift from the most beautiful
of lovers (both from India)
just in case.
*The Griffin Prize, Canada's most generous poetry award,
founded by businessman and philanthropist Scott Griffin.
**The griffin, griffon, or gryphon (Greek: grýphōn, or grýpōn, early form, grýps; Latin: gryphus) is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of as king of the creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions.

South Dakota's Abortion Fight
Today South Dakota passed a bill into law that requires that a woman who is getting an abortion must wait 72 hours and speak to a counselor . It puts South Dakota into the unique position of being the state with the longest waiting period in the entire country.
I don't have a strong opinion on this bill overall. We require counseling before filing for bankruptcy (http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/credit/debt.shtm); in Montana they are considering a bill to require couples with children to undergo counseling before getting a divorce (http://www.charlotte-divorce-lawyer-blog.com/2011/02/montana-considers-requiring-co.html). And let's not forget that depending on whom you believe, our wondrous new Government Health Care plan may or may not require end of life counseling. So requiring counseling before major health decisions or other major life decisions are made is not that abnormal.
But I also don't think the wait is going to do much to dissuade someone from having an abortion if she decides she wants one. So like I said, I don't really have a strong opinion on this particular bill.
What I do take exception to is the idea that there is a belief that because I am a man, I have no right to even voice an opinion on this issue. That's garbage. I know that many women would like to make this an issue about women's rights only but it simply is not just an issue of that. There is a LIFE involved that is being terminated who gets absolutely no say in what happens to them. My opinion on the taking of that life is just as important as any woman's.
This abortion counseling bill was not decided by men, it was decided by a group of representatives we voted into office of which five who voted for it were women. So it's not men trying to force women to do something. Ironically, I never hear this argument when we stop and think that the Supreme Court – who decided abortion was ok way back in the 1970's – was a group of men at the time. At that point it was ok that men had a say but apparently not now.
I do not apologize for the belief that abortion is quite simply murder. We have legalized the extermination of a life form and covered it up in terms of "pro-life", "pro-choice", women's rights", etc. It is a human rights issue on a grand scale. Since 1973 we have ended the life of nearly 46 million people. That simply blows my mind.
The arguments for and against abortion have been hashed out ad nauseum. I hear all the time about the "rape" and "incest" arguments and to be honest, I am hesitant on my beliefs on abortion when it comes to these two types. But I can get absolutely no one to tell me the percentage of abortions that are done based on "rape" and "incest". I am guessing that it is not a high percentage but it is the most used argument by people who are for abortion.
I also do not buy the argument that because I don't make a special point of helping those in need that I have no right to take a stand on this issue. I do not believe that we should take a blind eye to spousal abuse, but this doesn't mean I take every abused spouse into my home or provide for them. I abhor the idea of pedophilia but that doesn't mean every sexually abused child is now going to be taken care of by me. I think it's a great idea to help people out who are in need but if you don't it doesn't negate your beliefs even a little bit.
I am all for helping people, I am all for educating and trying to do whatever we can to make the need for less abortions necessary. I think those are good things. But I also think that people need to take responsibility for themselves. If you enter into a consensual sexual relationship you do so at the risk of becoming pregnant. If this is not something you are ready for, then don't have sex! I don't understand why this is a difficult thing. If you get pregnant, then you and your partner are now responsible for the life you have created. No one else should be responsible. Sure people can help, but it was your choice and terminating that life because you can't handle the decision you made is in my mind very wrong.
Abortion for me is a very big issue. I won't vote for a politician who supports it – ever. I will fight any attempt to make me pay for it. I will resist in any way being involved in it at all. It may be legal but it is in no way moral. So while I may not think this particular bill that South Dakota has passed today will be of much help, I applaud South Dakota for being in the forefront of the Abortion fight.

According to a debate between MLAs in Karnataka assembly in Bangalore on Thursday, Feb 2, the state government has provided only 4 kg rice to each BPL card holder, though they are entitled to get 35 kg of rice, as per the central government's rule.
The issue over the ration system was raised in the assembly when opposition leader, JD(S) member K M Shivalingegowda attacked former Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa's close aide and Food and Civil Supplies Minister Shobha Karandlaje during the question hour.
However, Shobha is believed to have solved the issue by counter-attacking the opposition leaders defending herself and the ministry.
Answering to the opposition leader's question, Shobha said, "We are only continuing with the unit system introduced in 2006. We are purchasing rice in the open market and distributing it to the BPL families, as the quota fixed by the Centre is far less for the number of BPL card holders in the State."
According to the minister (Shobha), confusion over distributing rice to BPL card holders emerged over bogus ration cards. Shobha informed that the state has been catering to 84,07,472 families where the centre allocates food grains for only 31.29 lakh BPL families.

Boston (CNSNews.com) - Even in a city full of Democrats, a group of College Republicans had no fear taking to the streets Monday in a playful protest of John Kerry's famous "flip-flops" on issues like the war in Iraq to homosexual marriage.
A handful of Republicans stood a few blocks from the FleetCenter, where the Democratic National Convention got underway at 4 p.m. Monday. They encountered some heckling, but many interested passersby stopped to snap pictures of the giant flip-flop sandals they carried.
Republicans have made Kerry's "flip-flops" a central issue of the campaign. The Massachusetts senator supported the war in Iraq, for instance, but later voted against funding it. He also opposes same-sex marriage, but he has reached out to the homosexual community, and he voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment.
"Kerry flip-flops on issues, and young people aren't going to go for that," said Alison Aikele, the College Republican National Committee's communications director. "This is a lot of fun. It's a way for young people to get involved and show what they believe in."
Those who did heckle the band of young Republicans got smiles in return. The Republicans started their day early, walking around neighborhoods of the city before ending up outside the FleetCenter. Overall, they said most people welcomed their viewpoints.
The protest was organized in part by Max Buccini, chairman of the Boston College chapter and treasurer of the Massachusetts Alliance of College Republicans. Buccini said he wanted Bostonians to know that not everyone in this city supports the Democrat ticket.
"It's going to be a tough sell for them to say that Kerry and Edwards are supporting the same values as the American people," Buccini said.
But it's Kerry's stance on the issues -- or lack thereof -- that bothers Buccini most. He said voters are left with no real understanding of what Kerry believes.
"There's a myriad of issues that John Kerry has flip-flopped on; especially on free trade and gay marriages he's waffled and shifted. He says they're nuanced positions, but I really think it's political expediency," Buccini said. "He'll basically do anything to further his political ambition."
But protesting Kerry isn't all that the College Republican National Committee has planned. The group will launch a field program on college campuses in 40 states on Aug. 24. More than 60 field representatives will be dispatched to add to the group's 120,000-student membership.
"Our goal is to identify every single Republican student and student who supports our president," said Oliver Wolf, a student at Bates College and vice chairman of the Maine College Republicans. "We need to get them to provide the voice and volunteers for the campaign."

Swimming Pool Pump & Salt Water Ctlr Wiring
Hello, I have just recently purchased a salt water clorination system for my pool and need to connect it to the electrical circuits. My pump and any electrical equipment are in an enclosed "pump house" /shed permanently attached to house. The pump house is approximately 30 feet from the pool edge and there is no electrical in or around the the pool (no light or convenience outlet). I was going to run 12/3 wire from a 20Amp breaker in the main house panel through a DPDT 20A switch and then into a "Pool/Spa Panel" with two DP 15A breakers. The pump is a 1HP 230V rated at 7A and the controller is 230V 3A. I will hardwire the pump and the controller to the panel. (The reason for the DPDT switch is to enable me to turn off the power, while performing normal pool maintenance (switching to backwash, pump skimmer cleaning, etc). I will run ROMEX cable inside the house into PVC conduit in the pump house.
Does this sound like it will meet the CEC (I am in Ontario)?
In the US the pump has to be gfi protcted. Most pool/spa panel I install already have a 50 or 60 gfi installed. Therefore the circuit I run to the panel is based on the gfi cb. If it is an inground pool than the conduit has to go from main panel to pool panel.

What do you know about the Brown Scapular?
A scapular is a garment worn by religious over the shoulders and hanging down in front and back, usually to about the bottom of the habit. The name derives from the shoulder bone, or scapula. Over time the scapular took on symbolic meanings, such as the carrying of the cross of Christ. Among Carmelites the scapular grew to be seen as a symbol of their dedication to Mary, as an expression of trust in her motherly protection, and as a desire to be like her in her commitment to Christ and to others.
By analogy to the scapulars of religious, there are small scapulars that are derived from them which represent a particular devotion or spirituality, usually associated with a particular community. Such a scapular is two pieces of cloth (generally about an inch square), connected by cords and worn over the head. It often has a picture or a particular color, depending on the spirituality it stands for.
The best known and most highly esteemed scapular, and the one most favored by the Church, and by the Blessed Virgin in many of her apparitions, is the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. It is adapted from the scapular of the Carmelite Order and represents a special Consecration to Our Lady under the title of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
The Church has blessed the appearance of Mary to St. Simon Stock, an early Carmelite, in which she is said to have promised that anyone who remains faithful to the Carmelite vocation until death will be granted the grace of final perseverance. This grace, it must be reminded, does not come from the scapular or any other sacramental; all grace is obtained for us by the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of the Lord. The sacraments mediate this saving grace; sacramentals do not mediate grace but prepare us to receive grace and to cooperate with it. Favors associated with the wearing of the Brown Scapular would be meaningless without the wearer living and dying in a state of grace.
Those who wear it practice it a special devotion to Mary. In addition, the person has a special entrustment of themselves to Mary for their salvation. This, in fact, has been promised to those who faithfully wear the scapular: "Those who die wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire." This must not be understood superstitiously or magically, but in light of Catholic teaching that perseverance in faith, hope and love are required for salvation. The scapular is a powerful reminder of this Christian obligation and of Mary's promise to help those consecrated to her obtain the grace of final perseverance.
The Church today approves the Carmelites' understanding of the meaning of the Brown Scapular as a commitment to follow Jesus as did Mary, the perfect model of all disciples of Christ. Mary shows us: how to be open to God and his will; how to be guided by faith, hope, and love; how to be close to the needs of others; how to pray at all times; and how to discover God as present in all that happens around us. The scapular must not be seen as a charm to protect the wearer or as an automatic guarantee of salvation, and thus an excuse for not living the demands of the Christian life.
How might one practice the spirituality of the Carmelite Order?
It is difficult to reduce the Orders' spirituality to a few sentences. One would be advised to look at the witness of the Carmelite saints, especially Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St. Elijah, St. Teresa of Jesus, St. John of the Cross, St. Therese of Lisieux. A few introductory principles of Carmelite spirituality, however, would be:
-frequent participation in the Mass and reception of Holy Communion;
-frequent reading of and meditation on the Word of God in Sacred Scripture;
-the regular praying of at least a part of the Liturgy of the Hours;
-imitation of and devotion to Mary, the woman of faith who hears the Word of God and puts it into practice;
-the practice of the virtues, notably: charity, chastity (according to one's state in life), and obedience to the will of God.

Pascals to Atm (atmospheric pressure) conversion table shows the most common values for the quick reference. Alternatively, you may use the converter below to convert any other values.
1 Pascal = 0.00000986923267 Atm
Pascal is a metric pressure unit and defined as a force of newton per square meter. It can be formulated as : 1 Pascal = Newton / m2 or 1 Pascal = Kilogram / meter * second2. Although mostly replaced by psi (pressure per square inch) in most applications, mostly used in meteorological reports. The abbreviation is "Pa".
Atm (or atmospheric pressure) is defined as the force per unit area by the weight of air above that point. 1 atmosphere is about 101.325 kilopascals.
For other pressure unit conversions, please go to Pressure Conversion
Enter a value that you want to convert into atm and click on the "convert" button.

Ok,, heading home from work, across the james Isalnd connector for those of you that are fom charleston, and a yellow golf Gti comes screaming out of the onramp. I drop to second and get behind him, but neither one of us could pull up to 130, where we both shut down for the curve. I lost him at the light, cause i had to turn to get home, but he was definetly putting up some good numbers. a buddy of mine in college had a turboed golf with a chip and a full exhaust, and we were neck and neck from about 30-130, so i am guesing that is what this guy had. Anyway, its a sweet little ride, and now i really need to get a utec/accessport. All i have now is up/tbe and MBC
PS - i still just dont like yellow cars - dunno why, but WRB is just waaay better in my book

I have been commuting from Stevenage to London all my working life. At 6.15am every day, you'll find me accelerating out of the sliproad on to the A1(M). One morning last November, as I joined the motorway, I noticed the car ahead was dangerously close to the central reservation – half of it was bumping along the grass verge.
"Bad place to break down," was my immediate thought. I turned on my hazard lights, then flashed my headlights to let the driver know it was safe for him to move to the hard shoulder if he needed to stop. The car was now scraping along the central reservation at 40-50mph. I could hear the grinding sound of metal on metal. Then the car reached an overlapping section of the barrier that made it ricochet sharply and change its trajectory, careering across the lanes. I thought the driver must be asleep, and began beeping my horn and shouting.
I felt compelled to do something. I drew parallel with the car, on its righthand side, and saw the driver properly. He was a businessman in his 50s and I could tell he wasn't in a good way. His eyes were half-closed and his mouth was hanging open. I knew it was up to me to stop his car before there was a major collision.
I didn't hesitate or question whether it was a wise move. I accelerated until I was directly in front of the car, then slammed on my brakes. The car smashed into the back of my van and we started to slow down. His was the more powerful engine, and even though I had the handbrake on and my foot on the footbrake, my van was still being pushed down the motorway. I realised his car must be an automatic, still in "drive" mode, because a car with manual gears would have stalled by that point.
I was at a loss as to what to do next and it was terrifying. Eventually, we came to a standstill, but if I took my foot off the brake or released my handbrake, we would have moved again. Thankfully, another driver drew up and I shouted for him to turn off the businessman's engine. He managed to pull his own car over, run to the other car, reach in and switch off the ignition.
I got out and started to shake the man and slap his cheek to try to revive him. Cars were still zooming past and I hated them for a moment. There was a man desperately ill here and all they were concerned about was not being late for work.
Then a paramedic appeared; it was chance that she was nearby. She immediately took charge, asking me to get the man out of the car and fetching her oxygen pump from her boot. She was joined by a firearms officer who started performing CPR. An off-duty policeman controlled the traffic, while I just stood by. I was amazed that three members of the emergency services had all happened to be moments away.
When the ambulance arrived, a paramedic noticed I was holding myself stiffly and I realised that the impact of the collision had injured my back. In hospital, an x-ray showed no permanent damage, but my thoughts were elsewhere. I had discovered that the man in the car had had a heart attack and was pronounced dead at the hospital. I was devastated. I'd done everything I could, but it wasn't enough.
The police commended my actions and said they had never heard of anything like this before. I was nominated for a bravery award, but I didn't want any glory or recognition. Instead, in the weeks that followed I struggled to cope. It felt surreal to go from a life-or-death situation to normality again. All sorts of turbulent emotions were bombarding me: regret, guilt and – after the insurance company refused to supply a replacement van while mine was repaired, saying the accident was my fault – anger.
A turning point came with counselling. This helped me to recognise that I had post-traumatic stress disorder and I was able to start laying all the "what ifs?" to rest. I was also helped by a lovely letter from the man's family, thanking me. I replied, telling them that, in his last moments, he was surrounded by people who were trying to help him. When I found myself back on the A1(M), I felt cold as I saw that the section of the central reservation had been replaced. I used to live in a bubble during my journey to work, focusing on the day ahead. Now I'm all too aware of how precarious, and precious, life is.

A Fool's Flashback
Today is my 85th birthday. Next week I will be rolling over my Foolish Four portfolio for the 68th time. You see, it was a little more than 69 years ago that I first stumbled into Fooldom. I had wandered into this website with cartoons dressed as jesters and a few interestingly titled articles on the front page. I prodded and poked until I found the page for this thing you called "Foolish Four." A quick scan told me that this idea made incredible sense. Operate under the assumption that Dow stocks were fortresses not seriously in danger of toppling -- ever -- and buy the ones that were most out of favor at the time.
Several days after my 16th birthday, a Treasury bill earmarked for my college education rolled over. I pitched my parents and convinced them to gift me a fraction of that bill, $1000, to use in my Foolish endeavors. I invested in my Foolish Two, Sears and General Motors, that year. I fully intended to let this grow to a modest $2,500 or so before I cashed in my positions midway through college to help make a dent in my expenses. Well, as it turned out, I never did use that for college. I didn't see the wisdom in trying to make a 5% dent in one year of college, which at the time was running very close to $40,000 a year.
I managed to escape college with only $60,000 of debt, thanks in no small part to two full time jobs held for the duration. I entered medical school, eager to enter one of the few professions that could afford me and my baggage. I finished my training 11 years after that and became a pediatric surgeon.
Somehow, through it all I had managed to save $1000 a year during college and the years after it. That initial thousand from my parents had been added to and blossomed to a sizable $160,000 -- right in line with my expectations of 22% a year. My money weathered several losing years in a row around 2007, only to bounce back as I was finishing my residency. I cashed out my portfolio and paid down all but $70,000 of my debt.
I never did grow accustomed to living at a surgeon's salary. I paid down that remaining debt in one year, and then managed to average $30,000 a year in savings. I retired at 62, my eyesight had begun to fail me. I began to draw my own pension -- a modest $100,000 a year -- from the bank of Me. I had nearly $36 million back then.
Today, nearly 69 years after I began this attempt to lessen the cost of college, I have nearly $2.8 billion. I couldn't possibly spend it all before my roll-over date, even if I tried. My 23 great-grandchildren each have $10,000,000 in a trust -- to pay the rising cost of education. It will be enough, I think. I hope.
I owe my financial success entirely to two Fools named Gardner, who refused to let me be fooled. But most importantly, I owe my family's financial security to those Fools and their troupe.

He can bounce around in space making defenders tackle air in one-on-one battles. He also can work out of the slot and be a weapon on special teams. He runs wit good balance, he keeps his legs moving, and he plays bigger than his frame may lead some to think.

China Weighs in on Debt Debate; Anyone Can Be a 'Budget Hero'
China is weighing in on U.S. lawmakers' failure to make any meaningful progress on the government debt limit, during increasingly tense budget talks in the White House. China holds more than $1 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities, and a failure to reach a debt agreement would result in a credit downgrade for the United States, and devalue China's holdings.
Louise Story, Wall Street and finance reporter for our partner the The New York Times, talks about the international implications of the U.S. defaulting on its debt.
And if the politicians can't reach an agreement on how to raise the government debt limit, maybe you can. Budget Hero is an online game that's getting more traffic than the 405 right now. The game allows users to play with the federal budget, and see how this changes the debt, national policies, and the country. Linda Fantin, director of network journalism and innovation at American Public Media, talks about the game created by Wilson Center for International Scholars' David Rejeskik, and developed by APM.

Sharpton and Staten Island Protesters Will Drive, Not March
The Rev. Al Sharpton says demonstrators protesting the death of Eric Garner will convene on Staten Island but will not march on foot across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
Sharpton said Saturday that buses and car caravans will carry protesters to Staten Island for the Aug. 23 rally.
Sharpton said last week he was planning a march across the bridge between Brooklyn and Staten Island.
Some elected officials complained that such a march would snarl traffic in the entire region.
Sharpton said Saturday that the protest is not about the bridge or about Staten Island. He said it's about seeking justice for Garner.
Garner died July 17 after police tried to arrest him on Staten Island.
The city medical examiner's ruled he was killed by neck compressions caused by a police chokehold.

|Office of Audits and Evaluations
|Report Type:
|Benefits Inspection
|Release Type:
|We evaluated how well the Manchester VARO accomplishes its mission. We found the staff accurately addressed entitlement to mental health treatment for Gulf War veterans. They were generally effective in processing traumatic brain injury and herbicide-related claims, correcting errors identified by internal reviews, as well as ensuring Systematic Analyses of Operations were timely and complete, and proper handling claims-related mail. However, the VARO lacked accuracy in processing some disability claims. Inaccuracies in processing temporary 100 percent disability evaluations occurred when staff did not schedule required medical reexaminations. Overall, VARO staff did not accurately process 18 (26 percent) of 68 disability claims we reviewed. Management did not have mechanisms in place to timely process competency determinations. Further, outreach to homeless shelters and service providers was not always effective.

" Brand: New Look / Type: Pumps "
I decided much to my husband's upset to purchase another pair of shoes. I decided I needed a pair of flat shoes so went on the New Look website in search.
I found the shoe I was looking for a black stripy ballet shoe. The black and white contrast was eye catching as the white was very white the stripes were about 2mm thick and continuous around the whole shoe. Around the foot hole is a finishing edge band of solid black material. A small lace bow is situated on the front of the shoe. This shoe is incredibly flat with the slightest of heel - approximately 3mm. They were for sale at £12.99.
I brought these to wear during the warmer months with jeans and dress to add a casual feel about them. Also the reason behind the flats was because I would be carrying my baby girl around and felt heels would be safer.
These shoes were available in sizes between 3-9. I am a size 7 and my size 7 fitted perfectly. I do have slightly wide feet but they didn't crush my feet together at all. They are extremely comfy and have required no breaking in. They are easy to slip on and off. The shoe is fairly ridged offering support to your foot.
I have owned these shoes for 3 months now and they are still in good condition. I have had to white them over a few times as they have gotten a little dirty. I used a damp cloth to wipe them over and they have come up nice and clean with no staining.
I rate this shoe 5 dooyoo star as they are comfy, stylish, great value for money and readily available.
New Look tends to be my store of choice when it comes to buying almost all my shoes. I pretty much exclusively wear pumps and then flip flops in summer. I hate heels and I find boots uncomfortable so ballet pumps are the perfect thing for me. I also tend to only own one pair at a time and wear them until they fall apart.
I bought these New Look shoes in the sale recently, thinking they might be a good replacement for my most recent pair of flats. They were on sale for a cheap price and I liked the overall design, they looked quite simple and girly without being too flamboyant. I also thought they would be pretty versatile and go with most outfits.
These shoes have a blue and white striped design over the main body of the shoe. The lining is a navy colour and there is a small bow on the front of the shoe. The overall look is very nice, and they go well with leggings for black tights which are a staple in all my outfits. I also thought they had a nice shape to them with a rounded toe which is flattering to my small feet.
The sole of the shoe is quite thin and though I was a little worried about them not wearing well I still thought I'd buy them as they were cheap. I have found, however, that the sole is beginning to wear away a little after a couple of months of use and I think they probably won't last beyond 3 months. This isn't a huge problem because I paid very little for them but if they were a full price buy I'd be annoyed.
I do have a couple of problems with them though that do make me question my purchase. The first is the amount of time it took me to wear them in. Most shoes I find wear in within a week and in this time you can expect to have a little rubbing on your heels. These shoes gave me blisters though and were very uncomfortable to begin with. This probably lasted more than a week and did make my feet very sore. I persisted with them but most people might have given up and therefore it would be a waste purchase.
I also find that the white and navy stripes have become very dirty through constant wear. I should know better than buying anything that has white on it because I am such a messy and clumsy person but because these shoes are predominantly navy I didn't think it would be a problem. They have become pretty dirty now and because they are made from a suede effect material they are not easy to clean.
The compromise though is that I paid only £5 for these shoes. I would usually pay around £20 for a new pair and they would last twice as long as these. I think for £5 I don't mind the obvious flaws in these shoes but had I paid any more I would be very annoyed.
An okay pair of shoes, but not worth more than the sale price.
Recently, 80% of the high street shops have been churning out their usual summer sales in order to stock up on swimming suits and denim hot pants for the warmer months so i've been taking advantages of the bargains both in store and online.
My recent buy were these flat ballet pumps from New Look. I tend to wear ballet pumps everyday as they are very girly, affordable and comfortable and come in some great colours and designs so you can always find a great pair that will go with all of your outfits.
These pumps have a thin sole which is a disadvantage in my opinion as they wear quite easily but this doesn't tend to be a problem for me as i swap and change shoes everyday and generally have a different pair of shoes on 7 days a week!
The design on these pumps is navy and white/cream stripes which are a little thicker than pin stripes. The understated design mean that they will go with so many outfits such as summer dresses, leggings and jeans. On the front of this shoe is a bow subtle bow detail made from lace which adds to the femininity of the shoe.I have always found these to be amongst the most comfortable ballet pumps that I own and although the sole is thin the insole is squishy and cushions feet perfectly.
I have worn these shoes about 10 times and can already feel the sole is wearing thin. The suede material that the shoes are made from are also very dirty and, although these are machine washable, I doubt they would survive a spin in the washer as they are fragile and wearing quickly! Another disadvantage I have found is when you are caught wearing these shoes in the rain the rain soaks straight through to your feet and take ages to dry!
I paid £4 for these pumps in the New Look sale which is an absolute bargain whether I got 5 or 55 wears out of these shoes! I really do find that they match with so many of my outfits and have received many compliments whilst parading around in these shoes! They are available in sizes 3-9 and although they are sold out online the sales are still ongoing in store so you may be able to bag a bargain pair of shoes!
I find New Look a great place to shop for stylish yet not over prised clothing, shoes and accessories which I own a lot of. I have plenty of these type of shoes known as ballerina shoes, dolly shoes and pumps. But I love buying them in all different colours and styles as there are great to wear with anything.
The pumps have navy and white stripes, with a thick edging around the top with a very cute bow which is made out of shoe laces. I think the design is very cute and girly and I love the fact that it goes with a lot of my clothing and especially leggings which I wear mostly. The inner sole is thick so they support your feet very well.
I decided to buy the Stripe Soft Pumps because they went well with my jeans (dark blue). They are very comfortable to wear, easy to wash and they slip on quickly without any effort. They fit extremely well with no room for my foot to slide around, which I have found with some pumps in the past. These shoes are great for summer on the hot days if you don't feel like wearing flip flops or sandals. There also great if you do a lot of walking like I tend to do. They have lasted me very well and still look fairly new! Normally pumps last me about a month because I wear them pretty much all the time and they get worn out quickly. But I've had these a couple of months now and they are still in good condition.
They do tend to get dirty quickly (downside), luckily they are machine washable so easy to clean. I recommend to wash them a couple of times on a cool wash to get them back in great condition as the white stripes do get dirty easily. I do have to wash them fairly regularly as I do where they quite a lot. I don't tumble dry them as my mum warned me against it, so I let them dry naturally either on the washing line or I leave them on the patio.
They come in sizes 3-9 and for a extremely good price at only £8.99. Them come in two colours, navy blue and white or black and white.
Overall these are lovely shoes, with a cute design and are great for wearing in summer. Very pleased with my purchase as I usually am with New Looks shoes and may even invest in the black and white pair!
I have many, many pairs of shoes in different styles and from different places. I have more shoes than my partner would like me to own, but personally, I love my shoes and I will more than likely keep adding to my shoe collection for the rest of my life. One of the places on the high street that I buy a good selection of my shoes is New Look, and that is where I got my Stripe Soft Pumps.
These shoes are the usual pump slipper, ballerina style shoe which is also known as a Dolly Shoe. It is black and white striped, and the stripes are very thin. There is a black edging around the top of the shoe where you slip your foot in, and this is quite thick. These are flat shoes.
I bought these shoes as I thought they were really cute, and they only cost me £8.99! I thought that was a total bargain, for a cute little pair of shoes. What with the summer being just around the corner, they are perfect for the hot days when I do not feel like wearing sandals or flip flops. They work well with a whole host of different outfits as well, so it was a perfect idea to wear these shoes.
The shoes are really comfortable to wear, and they fit my foot quite well. There is no slipping or sliding when I walk and I have had no rubbing or sore spots, even when I wear them all day long. I have done quite a bit of walking in these shoes, and there has still been no problem. The material that these shoes are made of is quite soft, but it does have some supporting factors to it, and my foot does not seem to fall around through the sides of these shoes.
The inner sole of this shoe is thick, so you feel like your foot is supported, but not so thick that it makes it a struggle to walk on. The under sole is made from a thick rubber, which keeps your foot protected from the floor, and it provides a pretty good grip when you are on slippery surfaces.
Luckily these shoes are machine washable, as I have found the white stripes become dirty very quickly and easily. I have had to wash them on a cool wash a couple of times to get them to look good again, but I have not dared to tumble dry them, I just let them dry naturally. The washing machines does get them looking almost new again, so there is not much effort required to get them clean again, but I have not had to wash a pair of shoes as often as I have to wash these ones.
All in all, these are pretty good shoes, and for the price of them, you really could not ask for better. They are comfortable and long lasting, with the only downside being that they get dirty easily, but this is pretty much expected of something that is at least in part, white. I really like these shoes, and they are still available to buy from www.newlook.com for just £8.99. They come in sizes 3 - 8 (9 in some stores I think) and I give this pair of stripe pumps a 5 out of 5 stars. Recommended.
I do a lot of walking with my twin boys; taking them out for a walk in the pram is a great way of getting them some fresh air and calming them down on the days they seem intent on wreaking havoc or attacking each other. However I'm a sucker for pretty footwear. Obviously the amount of walking I do requires sensible footwear so I'm always on the lookout for stylish and comfortable flat shoes at an affordable price, which is how I came across the New Look Stripe Soft Pumps.
***New Look Stripe Soft Pump**
The New Look Stripe Soft Pump are pretty much that a slightly pointed toed pump shoe with a stripy canvas appearance. Each pump has a small bow to the front of the shoe. The shoes are made from a canvas material but this is a very smooth soft canvas rather than a traditional rougher feeling material. Around the top of the pump there is a 5mm rim around the top of the shoe which is slightly softer than the canvas material the main section of the shoe is made from.
The sole of the shoe is not entirely flat like many pump shoes are. There is a very slight heel to the pump probably around 3mm maximum. The sole is quite a hard plastic material rather than a soft rubbery material that a lot of soles are made from.
The shoes are available in UK sizes 3-8.
The shoes are available in three colours, black and white striped, navy and white striped and pink and white striped.
The shoes are available in New Look stores and online at www.newlook.co.uk . I did find that my local New Look store is a very large store and stocked all of the three colours of this shoe. However a friend mentioned that in her local store which is a lot smaller she had only seen the shoes in the black and white colour.
The shoes are priced at £8.99 which I feel is excellent value for money.
***Wearing them***
I mainly live in leggings or jeans during the day as these are the most practical clothing for chasing around two 15 month old children, which I feel pumps match perfectly with. The New Look Stripe Soft Pump were perfect to match with these types of outfits, in particular purchasing the black and white colour as they matched with most of my clothes due to the plain colour.
The shoes when I first tried them on did feel quite stiff despite being made from what appeared to be quite a soft canvas material. After wearing twice I did feel that the pumps were actually very soft and had moulded to the shape of my feet, totally losing the rigid feel.
I did feel that the shoes were very comfortable in particular for long walks. With most flat shoes and pumps I get rubbing around the heel and ankle. This occurred on the first few wears with these pumps but I only suffered redness rather than blisters on my heel. After this these shoes were completely comfortable I think the soft trim around the top of the shoe helps with and prevents excess rubbing.
The sole of the shoe are more durable than many pumps I own. The sole is more of a harder plastic material rather than a soft rubber. This combined with the very slight slight heel means that when you walk you do not feel every bump under your foot which often happens when wearing softer soled pumps that are completely flat.
I purchased these shoes in a size 5. I find usually in shoes I am somewhere between a 4 and a 5 but the size 5 length wise fit me perfectly. I have quite narrow feet and after a few wears I did feel the shoes felt roomy across the foot. I'm sure for those with more normal sized feet these would be a good size although for those with wide feet I do think these shoes maybe a little uncomfortable considering I felt the shoes were quite rigid on the first few wears.
My biggest criticism of these shoes is that they do attract dirt very easily. The white stripes do get dirty quite quickly. Despite trying to sponge these marks off I found these did not really remove. I put these shoes in the washing machine which completely cleaned these shoes back to looking new. However after two washes in the washing machine I did notice that at the front of the shoe by the toe the sole was coming away from the rest of the shoe.
These are a stylish pair of shoes which look great, are comfortable and at £8.99 very affordable.
These are definitely a "throw away" fashion type shoe and not for those who are looking for a pair of pump style shoes that will last them for years. However in my experience I have found that even more expensive pairs of pumps are not long lasting.
Great shoes at a great price.
The other day I decided to treat myself to a new outfit as I felt a bit down and was going out that night and not really in the mood to go. I decided a new outfit to wear would help, and it did. The outfit included these black and white stripy pumps from New Look, which I have now worn a couple of times and I'm ready to give my verdict on them!
I find New Look shoes a bit hit and miss in general. I think they're normally well priced and look good, but have also found them uncomfortable and not very well made on occasion. When I saw these I was attracted to them as they're fairly simple and could go with a lot of things but they're not too plain or boring. I was further persuaded to buy these shoes when I clocked the price-£8.99, which I think is very reasonable for a pair of pumps.
The shoes themselves are just regular pumps that are mainly white, with black horizontal stripes across them, and a small string bow at the front of each shoe. Upon trying the shoes in the shop I thought they felt quite comfy but the material on them seemed quite thin and not very sturdy, which didn't put me off too much because of the reasonable cost. I thought they looked quite small but they were a pretty standard fit, I am a size 6/7 and the 7 were a good fit, with the size 6 being a tad small. I purchased mine in New Look High Wycombe, where they were stocking sizes 3-8 all at a price of £8.99.
I wore the shoes that night, and had no complaints; they looked cute and received a few compliments, and didn't hurt my feet at all. The trouble was a couple of days later I wore them when I was walking around Paris and definitely shouldn't have done! This is partly my own fault for choosing inappropriate footwear for walking around in, but I was only actually walking in them for 2/3 hours which is not a long time-I would be on my feet more than that for a night out. I expected them to not be a problem for this short amount of time but they began to rub on my feet and actually gave me a small blister, which I rarely get.
I do still like these shoes I just won't be wearing them very often in case I end up with a repeat performance of my time in Paris! One other thing to be aware of with these shoes is how easily they get dirty-I would not recommend wearing them in rain or mud due to them being mostly white.
To conclude, these shoes are a bargain, they look cute, and they go with lots of things! However they can be uncomfortable and/or a bit painful so be careful when/how often they are worn. Also take care not to wear them in bad weather because you risk ruining them.
When I bought my black & white jacket from Boohoo (I reviewed that yesterday.) I realised I didnt really have any shoes to go with it - I had plain black or white shoes but I felt that because the jacket was quite plain in design I needed some shoes with a bit of Oomph! to dress the jacket up a little bit. So I did what I always do when searching for shoes and logged right onto the New Look website and ended up finding these 'New Look Soft Striped Pumps' which fit my needs perfectly and I knew I would be able to wear them with not just that jacket but with other things I own as well so I bought them straight away and believe me they have turned out to be a great bargain buy because I have had a lot of use out of these so far and I hope to for some time to come.
Useful Information:
Price: £8.99
Stockists: New Look & newlook.com
Other Info: Available in sizes 3-9, available in Black & White, Navy & White + Pink & White. These shoes are said to be extra comfortable because of the soft, flexible sole & soft textile upper - they arent as hard as most shoes I own in my opinion - but that might not be as fantastic in the long run I think.
*I personally own the Black & White shade of these shoes as pictured in the image with this review. I do quite like the Navy & White shade though so I many be going back for more hehe.*
So as I say with all my reviews dont worry if your buying these shoes online as in reality they do look exactly like the picture so what you see is most certainly what you get in this case - as with most New Look shoes. These shoes are covered in small black & white stripes all over and are totally flat - there is a very slight raised heel at the back but it doesnt add anything to the height of the shoe at all - I think its mainly there to balance out the design more than anything else. At the front of each shoes is a very small, plastic, black bow which is a cute touch I thought but again it doesnt really add anything to the design overall but these might look a bit plainer without those bows. The front of the shoe is very slightly pointed which as with all New Look shoes is more about design and doesnt crush your toes or make the shoe uncomfortable to wear at all so you need'nt worry about that. The outside of the shoe is made from a cotton like material so Id recommend being very careful when wearing these as I think they would be murder to clean!
The inside of the shoes is lined with a silky type of material which feels great against my feet and ensures they wont rub or hurt your feet even if your wearing them for long periods of time of walking long distances in them - they didnt even rub me the first time I wore them which is always an added bonus as most shoes do rub the first time I wear them. As I always say with shoes of this material I dont recommend wearing them in bad weather because this material will get dirty easily but will not be easy to clean so you have been warned! LOL. The design isnt a bold or eye-catching as I normally go for but they are pretty nice all the same and oh so comfortable I could live in these shoes!
Now the one problem I do have with these is the soft sole. It does make the shoe more comfortable and easier to walk in but it does mean it will wear away so much quicker than normal shoes. Ive only owned these for about a month - wearing them on and off - and I can already see a small split appearing in the bottom so it has worn away so much quicker than shoes I normally buy - Ill be knocking off a star for that reason as I expected something a bit longer lasting from New Look - they are usually so bloody good!
Apart from that though I dont have any complaints. These shoes can make a simple outfit look more dressed up but also remain plain enough to wear when your having a really casual day and because the colours are so 'normal' this will match with most colours and styles - these are perfect with jeans on a lazy day which is how I wear them most often. I definitely recommend these shoes if you dont mind the fact that they may wear away a bit quicker than other NL shoe offerings - but they do look super cute and they match everything so Im still very happy I bought them. I just hope that split doesnt get any bigger!!
Thanks For Reading.

It is impossible to not to notice; everyone wants to be someone or something else. Actors want to be comedians; athletes want to be actors; singers want to be dancers. I wonder if it is job dissatisfaction or merely human nature, pushing us into new and different directions of exploration?
I work weekly with a personal trainer, who was, in his younger days a football player. He's strong and he trains hard to stay that way. But he is also an avid runner and wants to be faster. To achieve that, he would have to give up muscle mass to become lighter. My son, blessed with a runner's body, jumps on the treadmill and starts at NINE! He routinely runs eight to ten miles, no problem, but wants to bigger and more muscular. He hits the gym with commitment and dedication to add mass to his already well-defined frame. It drives me crazy! Why aren't people satisfied with the gifts they already possess? I'm not even going to the crazy body image that women deal with; as if a SIZE ZERO is normal! It seems being content with who we are is out of fashion. That is not to say that aspiring to grow is at all a bad thing, but sometimes, the energy is not of self-improvement, but of self-destruction.
When it comes to money, satisfaction is a rare condition indeed. The idea of enough is practically inconceivable. We are constantly being shown, on TV, in movies, on advertising what success looks like. The definition of success is big and loud and glitzy enough for everyone to plainly see; and without attainment, we are abject failures. Right? Of course not, feeling rich is more about self worth than net worth. After careful consideration, I have decided that Pogo (do you remember the comic by Walt Kelly?) said it best, "We have met the enemy and he is us!" We are using our eyes to look out rather than look within.
Over my career, I have found that the happiest clients are those who have self-defined their success to provide a life (present and future) where the focus was centered on their values, not someone else's definition of success. Among those with whom I have been fortunate enough to work with are financially successful and fundamentally successful people; their purpose is to live a rich and meaningful life where they can put their heads on the pillow at the end of the day without care and worry. They feel rich because their wealth is not strictly defined by their net worth. They feel rich because they strive for balance and meaning. Their goals are not created by Hollywood, Madison Avenue or their neighbor or brother-in-law, but by a driving desire or need to create something with lasting value.
Living in our crazy paced society is tough; the external pressures alone are ridiculous. Try and give yourself a mini-vacation by stepping back and shifting your gaze from outward to inward. It all starts there and coincidently enough—it ends there too.

Second time found it really nice!!!
By Marnie
from DARTMOUTH
I had ordered this dress and returned it some time ago because I did not like the neck part-it kept turning out.But I still really liked it so when it went on sale, I ordered this again and the bolero to match in tangerine!I also went up a size as it is a straight line dress so I wanted it to flow nicely and does it ever!The neck of the dress "pooks" up a little still, but I find that this dress as all of Lennie's fashions fits me so well-- and so comfortable!With the bolero I can wear this in the winter as well as in the warmer months of the year.I have only had to return his dresses once or twice and now with the new policy of having to pay for returns at the shopping channel it is good to know that I have a line that I can trust the sizing and the quality!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

very pretty dress

I missed out on the Floral but managed to get the Tangerine.It's not really my colour but it turned out to be closer to Coral than Orange - very nice!

Very Nice Dress
By Brenda M.
from Nepean, ON
I ordered the blue dress with the flowers and I'm so happy with it. The fit is good and the print is not too overwhelming. I agree with the other reviewers about the keyhole closing in the back. It does not seem to lay flat. I always wear sweaters, though, so for me it won't really show. Great dress, Lennie, keep 'em coming :)

Good tangerine!!
Received my tangerine dress today and it is not as deep an orange as I thought-a kind of medium creamsicle! As a straight shift dress, it flows over the hips really nicely and the cap sleeves made me feel a little less "bare-armed". I feel that the material in Lennies's dresses is so much thicker and more substantial than other similar material brands at the Shopping Channel and it usually fits me so well without clinging.I really loved this dress but the material around the front neck pleating was kinda sticking up and I knew I would not be comfy with that, so I had to return it.Keep your dresses coming, Lennie!!!

By Voicelesskat
from FORT FRANCES/NW ONT
This dress is so simple, and so pretty. I ordered it in the tangerine color. However, I ordered the XL, which is what I take in all Lennie dresses, but it was skin tight. The material was so nice, although I do not think the pleating in the front collar would lay down as it was supposed to, it was not top stitched. I probably would have had to order at least 2, maybe 3 sizes up..too bad, because I so love most of his dresses that are just simple and pretty. Sent it back.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Lovely Dress
By CELTIC
from TORONTO
Bought this lovely dress in the Blue Floral in my regular size. It was tight which is unusal with Lenny's dresses. There seemed to be NO stretch in the material at all. I can't reorder at this time as there is no more in stock.

I am really hoping this dress will come back, I really liked the blue one with flowers but before i knew it everything was sold out!

I wish it had sleeves!!
By Lorraine
from Red Deer, AB
I love this dress but did not buy it because it has no sleeves. Lennie you are doing great by having some dresses and tops with sleeves. In my opinion not tooooo many women over 45 want to bare their arms, especially if they have lost some weight. I would buy this dress in a heart beat if it had sleeves. The fact that it is a solid color is one more big plus. Not all women want a big flower in the middle of their tummy or a neckline down to their navel. I did order several other items. Keep up the good work Lennie!!

Very disappointed in this dress
By TSC Fan
from Edmonton
This was my first purchase from the Lennie collection and I agree with the other purchasers that the fabric was nice, but the pleats around the neck did not lay flat. I ordered a medium and a large and medium usually always fits but thought a size up might help with the pleat problem. If the pleats had been topstiched right along the neckline, that would have been a simple solution to the problem but I'm not a sewer. Unfortunately had to return both sizes.

The Justice Department is gathering testimony from Iraqi witnesses for a possible trial of Blackwater Worldwide security guards over a 2007 shooting in Baghdad that left 17 Iraqi civilians dead. FBI agents and Justice Department attorneys arrived in Baghdad last week in order to conduct interviews as part of an investigation into the truth of what actually happened. An Iraqi police officer who witnessed the shooting was asked if anyone had fired on Blackwater security guards and he told the FBI team there was no attack on the Blackwater convoy and the shooting was entirely done by Blackwater personnel. Blackwater insists its guards were first fired on and were only responding to the shooting when Iraqi civilians got caught in the cross-fire. Initial reports by the U.S. military and the Iraqi government found no evidence of any ambush or firing on the convoy. Families of victims killed insist Blackwater guards initially opened fire on their cars.
Blackwater, like most private security firms, operates in a legal gray area. They are exempt from prosecution in Iraqi courts, but it is also unclear whether thay can be charged in American courts. The prosecution and conviction of Blackwater guards would have a powerful impact on Iraqis since it would demonstrate America's commitment to democracy.

Here's a follow-up.
Why gun prohibitionists have lost traction, relevance
One might think that after years of practice, the gun prohibition lobby would understand that worn out platitudes and broad brush wish lists packaged as a canned response to some new violent outrage no longer get any serious traction with the public.
Why gun prohibitionists have lost traction, relevance - Seattle gun rights | Examiner.com
I appreciate your preaching... to the choir.
Many of the folks that I come up against that are so anti.. simply do not have a clue... They don't know the difference between an assault rifle and a Glock... a semi automatic or a revolver... Some want to ban all "military" weapons... that would include shotguns and handguns too, I suppose...
They want to make it harder to get guns.. they want to make it harder to change ... ahem... clips... they want to limit rounds in a mag to 30 for rifles; and what, 10 for handguns..?
But one of the "funniest" (hmmm... not ha ha) things that one said to me... when I explained to her the myriad ways you cannot legislate inanimate objects, gun laws are useless, "Gun Free Zones" are ironic folly... she responded with "Laws don't mean anything, I mean, if murder were not illegal, there are lots of people that would be on my list..."
Well, there's one gal I don't want to have any guns... and probably at the root of why she's so anti... she probably doesn't trust herself...
Deep rooted animosity towards "evil guns" is bred of some other root cause.
And that works for me.
I'm amazed at some of the folks who read my junk that's been forwarded to them by a gunnie.
I think violence in the media is the problem. Music, TV and movies glamorize thug life. Plain and simple the kids growing up get the tattoos, drugs, join gangs, guns to look big time to friends and foes as it is in the media.....

In addition to the Mega 6.3 and 5.8, Samsung has also introduced the Galaxy Win, Trend II, Trend Duos II and the Galaxy Star, which is going to be the cheapest Android model of all these. Now, most of these products have some very humble specs compared to the beasts we enjoy dealing with, like the Galaxy S4, for example, but this is the kind of stuff that sells well in China at the moment. Obviously, there's an increasing demand for smartphones with very big screens, but not for premium ones, so the Megas fit nicely here with their gigantic screens and mid-range specs.
It's understandable why Samsung is eying the Chinese market. The company has seen a 153% increase in sales for the last year, which is a very promising figure. And since the Chinese market is still classified as an emerging one, Samsung has all the reasons it needs in order to focus its efforts in that direction.

No Ciphers to Be Found Anywhere
Salim Nourallah
Ciphers for Snowing
(Paisley Pop)
US: 19 Dec 2008
A five-minute review of Salim Nourallah's life would leave you wondering if he sleeps: husband, father, producer, guitar-slinger for the Instigators and solo artist. It is no wonder when he was ready to release Snowing in My Heart two years ago, he envisioned it as a double album. This is, after all, a man who has to be concerned with being efficient. On his latest release, Ciphers for Snowing, Nourallah revisits the material and leftovers from that record but still manages to bring freshness to the songs.
finds Nourallah once again revisiting themes of hope and safety. Two years later those themes seem even timelier. On "You Are Safe", he manages to stare down every illness, intruder and fear with the simple refrain, "It's ok / Don't be afraid / You are safe." He is even more convincing on the stand-out single of Snowing in My Heat, "Don't Be Afraid", which gets re-imagined here with guitar work from Dallas multi-instrumentalist (and founding member of the Slack) Chris Holt. Tracked as a one-two punch, these prove to be the highlights of the record, as both make this a record worthy of standing on its own. "Hope" has the draw of a low-key narrative from Elvis Costello—despite the absence of a direct storyline. Emotionally, it tells a story, and the Spanish-guitar interlude only adds to that feel. "Dreaming", a three-minute stroll, complete with a harmonized hook and reverb-like melody, hints at At Dawn-era My Morning Jacket.
In addition to being a superb songwriter, Salim Nourallah can really sing. At times, a bit Bono-esque, he sells what he sings. His tone is confidence inspiring and believable. Underneath it all though, lives a real tribute to the best of the new wave '80s. Drawing sonically from bands like New Order, Nourallah makes the old feel new. While clearly comfortable in the studio (and with the many toys his studio probably has available), he never forgets the guitar. Each track on the record features textured guitar parts that prove tasteful and memorable.
Nourallah originally envisioned a double record with these tracks and Snowing in My Heart, but in reality this record stands fine on its own. If anything is missing here it is that, despite his eternal optimism, lyrically Salim Nourallah appears to still be holding back. The songs, at times, feel like much more could be said. Coming from an artist who spends so much time coaxing emotion from the musical side of his projects, it surprises. If his lyrics are not introspective enough or revealing, the sound he manages to create certainly is. The term "ciphers", in this case, is a misnomer, though plenty of importance can be found in these tracks.

"One of her engagements just now seems to be to go about with Graylock," said guilder.
He had visited her twice since then; once at Chauvin's studio and once at guilder's.
Had you not whined and pleaded for him, he would have taken a guilder.
In these respects, the Hundred guilder print is a striking example.
It was worth a guilder, he reflected; and stood waiting just inside the door, his men without.
The outer and larger coins are three guilder pieces, the smaller ones one guilder.
A kwartje is a small silver coin worth one quarter of a guilder, or 10 cents in American currency.
He couldn't do anything else; and he built a fifty guilder bridge to bar the Spider's crawl.
Caspar promised to follow the advice of Peter, declaring that he would spend every guilder he possessed to aid his object.
At every guilder that Constance spent on her swollen household, she felt the old man's rancour.
Dutch coin, late 15c., probably from a mispronunciation of Middle Dutch gulden, literally "golden," in gulden (florijn) or some similar name for a golden coin (see golden).

Reading's frustration at the goal which denied them a point probably boiled over from the fact they had defied their lowly position and high-flying opponents to put in a solid shift at the home of the champions.
But the Royals' hard work was for nothing in the 1-0 defeat, and they remain bottom of the Premier League, having lost their last seven league games.
Yet boss Brian McDermott claims his players must retain the new mindset they showed at the Etihad if they are going to pull out of their slump.
"Our players are winners," he said. "They were champions last season in the Championship.
"The year before that they got to the play-off final and before that we were in a relegation spot but won loads of games.
"They have to believe they are winners – today they played like them. We have to have that mindset of staying in games. We've probably been a bit innocent and easy to play against but weren't today."
