Sensu was developed out of a desire to have an authentic brush to use with drawing and painting apps on iPhone, iPad, and other capacitive screens.
Like your iPad, the Sensu brush is truly portable. The protective cap becomes the handle for the brush when in use. When you're done painting, simply insert the brush tip into the handle chamber and push closed. The brush is now safe for travel and a rubber stylus nib is exposed that can be used for other navigation.
The real potential of Sensu is realized when used with painting and drawing apps. Many are available in the App Store and more are appearing in the Android Market all the time. From acrylic to watercolor, charcoal to marker, these apps deliver a high level of art-making reality. Sensu brings it to an even higher level. $39.95

Artist Barbara Rogers Releases her First Book Benefiting the University of Arizona---Available Now at Sarnoff's Art
Barbara Rogers: The Imperative of Beauty, the first book to document Tucson artist and educator Barbara Rogers' life and work in detail, is designed and produced by Marquand Books, an award winning publishing house specializing in the design and production of fine art books; and distributed by Hudson Hills Press, the premier source for books on 20th century art. This 224-page book includes 150 color plates and 25 black & white images. Thirty-percent of the profit from the sale of the book will be donated to the Barbara Rogers Graduate Fellowship in Painting at the University of Arizona School of Art to provide support and encouragement to the artists of the future.
The Imperative of Beauty traces Rogers's earliest influences and education, the shift in her practice following Hurricane Iwa, and her work since that time, which has grown increasingly complex and ambitious. Three essays examine the evolution of her work. Art historian, Paul Eli Ivey explores the work up until 1985; New York writer and critic, Carter Ratcliff, sees her work moving from turmoil to serenity; and museum director and curator, Marilyn A. Zeitlin considers her approaches to beauty and the tradition of ornament. Interviews in the artist's own voice reveal the relationship between Rogers's life experience and her art. The book not only documents the progress of an individual artist but also reflects the trajectory of women working in the arts in the latter part of the twentieth and the early part of the twenty-first centuries, and the challenge facing an artist working in the American West outside the world's major art centers.
While much of contemporary art practice has avoided outright beauty, Barbara Rogers has unabashedly embraced and explored it. "I want to remain vulnerable to beauty," she says. "I want to be stopped in my tracks by something I call beautiful that I have never noticed or seen before."

Art is as basic to the human experience as talking, laughing, or any other form of communication. It allows us to reach beyond any geographic limitation and even touch those in some distant future!! Artwork that pre-dates any known civilization is still preserved on rock walls even after many thousands of centuries of history have passed. Art is our basic expression of who we are as individuals and as a culture. Artists throughout time have always found ways to express a particular point of view through the creative use of materials found in nature such as botanical or mineral pigments, hand-made cotton papers, and natural hair brushes. Art has evolved with science and technology right up to virtual art and digital printing. Sarnoff's offers everything you need to share your vision from the World's finest manufacturers, some of which have been producing materials for Artists since the 12th century!
Visionary artists have always sought better ways of making their dreams a reality. Sarnoff's is proud to offer museum quality fine art materials. Hand crafted Fabriano Papers have been a favorite to this day. Watermarks can be found in artwork and letters of some great artists of the period, such as Michelangelo Buonarroti. Sarnoff's offers a full complement of the world's finest art supplies including legendary Fabriano, Arches Papers, Winsor & Newton, and many others.
Any serious discussion about artist's brushes must include Kolinsky Sable. Kolinsky Sable brushes offer unmatched performance for water colorists so several manufacturers offer them as part of their flagship line. Windsor Newton Series 7 Brushes were created at the behest of Queen Victoria.
Gustav Sennelier established his art supply company in 1887. His Oil Paints, Pastels, and Pigments have been a favorite of iconic Master Artists ever since then. The Sennelier client list reads like a who's who of top Artists seen in museums and serious collections all over the World. Sennelier remains one of the only companies that provide natural pigments that Artists can use to create their own paints. Many other brands of supplies and artist's materials have been used throughout the history, we proudly offer them all.
Sarnoff Artist Materials is the leader in providing classic fine art supplies in the Southwest. We offer the World's best materials for professional and expressive Artists. Whatever you can dream, we can help you create.

Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is
investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of
White River Capital, Inc. ("White River" or the "Company") (NYSE:
RVR) relating to the proposed acquisition by Parthenon Capital
Partners ("Parthenon").
Under the terms of the transaction, White River shareholders
will receive only $21.93 in cash for each share of White River
stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of
fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of
Directors of White River for not acting in the Company's
shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process to
Parthenon. The transaction may undervalue the Company and will
result in no substantial gain or even a loss for many White River
shareholders. For example White River stock traded at $26.50 on
December 5, 2011 and $22.94 as recently as October 12, 2012.
If you own shares of White River stock and wish to discuss the
legal ramifications of the proposed transaction, or have any
questions, you may e-mail or call the law office of Brodsky &
Smith, LLC who will, without obligation or cost to you, attempt to
answer your questions. You may contact Jason L. Brodsky, Esquire or

When I had girls I always said that they seemed so much cuter/funner to dress than boys. But now that I have a handsome little boy of my own I am finding that dressing a boy is just as fun as dressing a girl.
There aren't a lot of cute accessory options for little boys however but there are a few and the bow tie is one of my favorites. I found a few tutorials to try before this but the bow ties ended up being too big and almost clown like when finished. I wanted something that was tiny tot size with the right proportions. This bow tie is super simple, just watch.
Fabric scraps
Needle and thread
Sewing machine
Step 1: Cut out two pieces of fabric 1 that is 8 1/4x4" and 1 that is 5 1/4x2" (or 2 1/4") (this is to make a bow tie for a baby-like 3-9 months so if you want a bigger one you can adjust the size accordingly).
It should look like this when you are done:
And like this from the front.

Mayor Moody
What's up with Soglin?
I've heard that question more in the last couple of months than any time in the thirty-four or so years I've known and written about our three-time mayor and unquestioned Madison legend.
Describing Paul Soglin has never been easy. Yes, he's an iconoclast, kind of, and a non-conformist, sort of, and … well, it's just not that simple. And when people try to make it easy it's usually wrong. Cranky is a word that comes up pretty regularly and I guess he's always had a bit of a cranky side to him. It's never really seemed to bother people who are close to him.
But for some reason, Soglin's been coming across crankier than usual lately and it's beginning to get under the skin of some folks. A lot of folks. "What's up with the guy?"
Ever since he was elected—again—in 2011, Soglin has complained about the mess he says he inherited, about the degree of decline he's seen in civic affairs in the city and about the difficulty of making things right. He dug in his heels against an agreed-to TIF deal for the Edgewater Hotel, predicted the demise of Overture Center for the Arts, railed against sidewalk sign-boards in front of downtown businesses and bristled at those who disagreed with his budget priorities.
Some of that seems cold and some of it seems insensitive. But what really seems to have moved some community leaders from frustration to anger is how quickly Soglin suggests Madison isn't the shining star so many of us believe it to be. As a lot of folks work hard to keep businesses here, to attract start-ups and entrepreneurs and young, creative talent, is that really the message we want to be sending? Even if there's some truth to it, wouldn't it be prudent to make such public pronouncements a little more … nuanced?
Actually, Soglin's never really embraced nuance in any form. He says what's on his mind, unfiltered. That can be a strength for an elected official in some cases, and I think it's part of what we've always liked about Soglin.
But at a recent meeting with the WISC-TV editorial board, Soglin sat down, rolled out a litany of problems and blamed everyone from former mayor Dave Cieslewicz (which was getting a little old a year and a half ago) to County Executive Joe Parisi to city council members and more. He seemed cranky.
However, then there are other sides to the mayor.
A week or two later, he was on my Sunday morning program on WISC with three other folks talking about homelessness, and he was thoughtful, compassionate and engaged. A couple of weeks after that he was at a breakout session at the Urban League of Greater Madison's innovation in education summit, working hard at achievement gap issues about which he cares deeply.
That's the Soglin who has an emotional attachment to families in Madison who are struggling and who he believes have rights to housing, food, safety, transportation and a good education—and he believes in the city's role in providing those things. He just has very specific views on how those services should be provided and paid for.
Soglin spent some of his years away from the mayor's office at both the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and the La Follette School of Public Affairs at UW, and he was very much influenced by both. He absolutely loves government theory, especially municipal finances, and he's confident in the systems he thinks work best. Very confident, if you know what I mean.
But I would say our mayor needs to be a little careful. There's a tension that he may be comfortable with, but others are not. They feel like the mayor is working at cross purposes with them and sending the wrong messages about this city and where it's heading. And that's a real problem right now.

It was with much excitement that I took delivery of my pre-ordered new cookbook. The Hairy Bikers' Best –Loved Recipes Mum's Still Know best! by Si King and Dave Myers. I enjoyed the first series and cookbook a lot, and hoped this one would be one to love too.
This second book is done in much the same style and layout as the first. Mixture of recipes from Mums up and down the country, plus others from Si and Dave. Recipes from home and also further afield. Nice introductions to the recipes, to set the scene. Almost every recipe is illustrated with a picture too. There is a good mixture of stapes recipes, like spaghetti bolgonese, steamed sponge pudding, macaroni cheese mixed with others that are a little different.
I was hoping for more biscuit recipes, as my very favourite recipe from the first book was Mrs Miller's Empire Biscuits. I was looking for another fabulous biscuit in this one, and my only criticism of this new book is that although there are numerous cakes, I would have liked to have seen more biscuits.
Chapters are:* Comforting Food * Al Fresco* Taste of Home* Lazy Weekends* High Tea* Distant Shores* Posh Nosh* and *Family Classics*.
This one is definitely worth a whirl if you liked the first book, but you wouldn't need to have the first to enjoy this second one. Lots of recipes to feed the family, maybe get a few new recipes into your routine.
I've picked out a lot more savoury recipes in this book to make, but having said that I was true to form and tried a pudding first – Eve's Pudding. Gorgeous it was too. I'm also looking forward to trying Mom's Hockey Puck Meatloaf - I couldn't help but laugh! and a divine looking Italian Pear and Chocolate cake. Everything I've made so far we have enjoyed – and I'd make again.
Eve's Pudding and Custard
A very nice recipe for this classic. You don't need to cook the apples first, just bake altogether, this has the bonus that the apples are soft, but chunky at the same time, and I liked that. In the intro to the recipe Si and Dave intimate that neither they nor the biblical Adam could fail to be tempted by this apple pudding. I would have to say my hubby, who it would be fair to say sees a fairly wide ranging array of puddings (being married to a cook like me) was very pleased with it – and seconds were required! If I wasn't counting what I'm eating I'd have had seconds as well. Custard was good too, good taste and excellent texture, will add a little more sugar next time though.
The Jones Boys' Favourite Chicken & Mushroom Crumble
This was something quite different for me, a savoury crumble. It has a tin of condensed mushroom soup in it. I'm ok with this as an ingredient in a recipe now and again , but if you are sniffy about it, maybe best avoid this one. Still, the soup is just one of the things in the sauce and the overall effect is a creamy mushroom chicken dish topped by a savoury crumble with cheese. A yummy comforting tummy filler.
Grandma Sindy's Ginger Snacking Sponge
A very simple recipe this one, the batter is really runny, but the cake is really lovely. Nice rise, airy texture – but oh so sticky and gingery, yum! I remember when I was little my own Gramdma used to serve a ginger cake with a creamy filling. I've been looking for a recipe for a long time, but they have never been right. I'm going to bake this one in sandwich tins and see how it goes – I've got high hopes. This one is good the day it's baked, better after a day or two. Low fat too if that's of interest to you.
Tomato Soup
Another really easy recipe, particularly as I blended it with a stick blender. Not quite the famous tinned tomato soup taste, but it's definitely going down that road. We loved it. I used fruit sugar, and thought this worked well.
Meatballs in Gravy
These were good - a blast from the past, but only better. The gravy is more appealing to adults than children due to the red wine, hubby and I loved them. I've made the recipe easier, by oven baking the meatballs. This works for me on three levels: (1)keeps the meatballs round, (2) really moist and (3) saves me pan frying them, a kitchen job that I do not like. Worth a go. Mash and a vegetable are the obvious choices for this dish. I went with new potatoes and veg, to keep the eating regime in check, as I can go a bit mad with good mash!
Meatballs in Gravy
My adaptation of Si and Dave's recipe from The Hairy Bikers' Best –Loved recipes Mum's Still Know Best published 2011 by Weidenfeld and Nicolson. I use plain scone crumbs instead of breadcrumbs, as I'm intolerant to yeast – but do revert it back to breadcrumbs if that suits you better. I also used two tablespoons of Heinz tomato sauce instead of 1 tablespoon of tomato puree in the gravy.
Serves 4
250g lean steak mince
250g minced pork
1 small onion very finely chopped
a squeeze of garlic puree (or 1 garlic clove finely chopped)
25g scone crumbs (or breadcrumbs)
2 teaspoons mixed dried herbs
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons sunflower oil
Heat the oven to 180. Mix all the ingredients except the oil in a bowl, until really well blended. Then roll the mixture into about 20 similar sized balls. Place onto an oven proof tray or dish. Drizzle over the oil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked.
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 medium onion
1 tablespoon plain flour
150ml red wine
300ml beef stock made with 1 beef stock cube
2 tablespoons tomato sauce (like Heinz)
Meanwhile, to make the gravy, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion over a low heat for 5 minutes to soften. Stir often. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring all the time. Slowly add the red wine, followed by the stock and tomato sauce, stirring all the time. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring now and then. Add the meatballs into the gravy and cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes until all is piping hot – still stirring now and then. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if it needs it .

Sugar skulls and pan de muerto, face paint and papeles picados—it's that time of year again. Dia de los Muertos will be here soon, and Masks y Mas invites the Duke City to come out and celebrate.
Albuquerque's own Day of the Dead-themed shop at 3106 Central SE will hold their annual fiesta Friday, Oct. 25 so as to "beat everybody else by one week," says store manager Kenny Chavez.
The event will include art demonstrations—such as the making of papeles picados (colorful paper banners)—as well as a muerte dessert show, sugar skull decorating and a reception featuring 40 local artists. Muerte face paint is available during the event by prior appointment (call the store at 256-4183) and The Cool Arrows, a Latino punk band, will provide live festival tunes.
Chavez says that the event, which has been held in the shop for over a decade, is a time to celebrate and honor lost loved ones. There will be a community altar for photos and keepsakes of those who have passed.
"It is driven by life and death," Chavez says. "It's all part of the cycle, and it is becoming more a part of the culture in the United States. People have been so fearful of it … but it's a memorial day. And we've turned it into an art form. It's not a mourning thing, it's a celebration."

Chrysler Group LLC, Ford Motor Co., and General Motors – the so-called "Detroit Three" – all finished 2012 with strong sales number for all of their vehicles, with pickups in particular witnessing heavy demand.
Fleet Owner reported Chrysler said its U.S. sales in December totaled 152,367 units, a 10% increase compared with December 2011, with sales for the year exceeding 1.65 million units – a 21% jump compared to 2011. Chrysler's Ram Truck division reported a sales increase of 16% in December, with sales for the year topping 300,928 units; an increase of 17 % compared to 2011.
The company noted its Ram pickup truck recorded its best annual sales numbers since 2007, with sales of the Heavy Duty Ram up 20% and sales of the Light Duty Ram pickup increasing 14%, while sales of the Ram Cargo Van increased 287% in December versus the same month in 2011.
"We also recorded 33-consecutive months of year-over-year sales growth and our strongest annual sales in five years, while seven of our vehicles recorded their best ever annual sales in 2012," noted Reid Bigland, president and CEO of Chrysler's Dodge division and head of U.S. sales for the company.
According to Fleet Owner, Ford said that its U.S. sales grew across the board in 2012, with cars up 5% and trucks up 2% for the year. Overall, Ford said it ended 2012 with over 2.16 million vehicles sold.The automaker added that its F-Series sales were up 10% for 2012 and that Ford commercial truck sales finished the year up 7% over 2011; marking the best sales year since 2008.
Overall, Ford said it sold 645,316 F-Series units in 2012, with total Ford brand truck sales – including Transit Connect and E-Series – up 2% for the year at 829,477 vehicles sold. Finally, the automaker noted that its December 2012 sales of 214,222 vehicles marks its best December sales month since 2006.
GM noted that sales volume this past December marked its best December month in five years, with deliveries up 5% year over year to 245,733 vehicles.
December was also GM's best retail sales month of 2012, with retail volume up 38% from November – about double the industry's estimated increase.
"All four GM brands increased their sales year over year in December and we were strong across the board in cars, crossovers and pickup trucks," said Kurt McNeil, vp of GM's U.S. sales operations.
He said December 2012 sales of pickups, vans and SUVs were equal to volumes sold in December 2011, but compared to November 2012, December truck sales increased 52%. McNeil added that year-over-year sales of the Chevrolet Silverado pickup increased 6%, while sales of the GMC Sierra pickup were up 13% – the highest level of pickup sales for GM since September 2008.

Attorneys for hedge-fund manager Steven A. Cohen are disputing federal civil charges that he failed to prevent insider trading at SAC Capital Advisors, saying he didn't read an email at the center of the allegations.
Cohen's lawyers call the Securities and Exchange Commission's charges "unfounded" in a paper sent Monday to employees of the firm.
The SEC said Friday that two of Cohen's portfolio managers gave him information in 2008 that suggested they had access to inside data. Cohen, 57, faces possible fines and could be barred from managing investor funds. He has until Aug. 8 to formally respond to the allegations.
His lawyers say he "had every reason to believe" that one of the managers used only public information and that he didn't read the email from the other manager.
SAC Capital, which until recently managed more than $15 billion in assets, is at the center of the biggest insider trading fraud cases in history.
The SEC says Cohen failed to prevent the two managers from illegally reaping profits and avoiding losses of more than $275 million. Rather than raise any red flags, Cohen praised one of the managers and rewarded the other with a $9 million bonus, the SEC said.
Part of the case hinges on an August 2008 email that included advance information on Dell Inc.'s quarterly earnings. The SEC says it was sent to one of the two SAC portfolio managers and forwarded to Cohen. Minutes after it was forwarded, Cohen began selling his $11 million holdings of Dell stock, the SEC alleges.
Cohen's lawyers say in the paper that he didn't read the email and wasn't told about it. Cohen received hundreds of emails a day and he didn't read most of them, they say.
They say that Cohen decided to sell his Dell stock for "unquestionably legitimate reasons." That was because he became aware that a portfolio manager at an SAC affiliate, who had originally recommended that Cohen buy Dell stock, was selling a portion of his Dell stock.
The lawyers also note that the email is based on a second-hand interpretation of the information and doesn't identify the source. So even if Cohen had read it, he wouldn't have known it contained confidential information, the say.
"Steve Cohen did nothing wrong, and any fair review of the evidence will show that the SEC's charges are unfounded," his lawyers said.

One aspect of The Post that particularly irks conservatives is the columnists who appear in print and online in news positions (as opposed to those on the editorial and op-ed pages and the online Opinions section). With the exception of Dan Balz and Chris Cillizza, who cover politics in a nonpartisan way, the news columnists almost to a person write from left of center.Balz and Cillizza are nonpartisan? That assertion screams liberal bias.
Is it any wonder that if you're a conservative looking for unbiased news — and they do; they don't want only Sean Hannity's interpretation of the news...They. That's telling.
... that you might feel unwelcome, or dissed or slighted, by the printed Post or the online version? And might you distrust the news when it's wrapped in so much liberal commentary?Yeah, they need to get a lot of conservative columnists if they want to get away with doing the news liberal-style. Isn't that the Wall Street Journal method?

Facebook made some impressive strides in privacy at their annual conference today, announcing a new feature that would let users log into connected apps without giving any personal data. There will also be the option for users to tick off which Facebook permissions to allow an app on the initial set-up.
On the web, Facebook's App Control Panel is getting a major update so it will be easy to see which apps are connected to Facebook and what permissions they currently have. Facebook also said that they will no longer allow apps to pull in data from friends of friends; everybody has to individually offer their data to apps. All of these features will be rolling out over the next couple of months.
Considering the biggest stigma against Facebook right now is that it snoops through all of your personal stuff without you knowing about it, these features are extremely welcome. For those that have already sworn off the ubiquitous social network, it may be too little too late, but as an active user, I'm really happy to see these additions. What about you guys? How much attention do you pay to permissions requested through Facebook-connected apps? Is requiring a Facebook account a dealbreaker for whether or not you use an app?

What do you know about Brown's Mountain?
Suzanne Word: "Drunken Kite Day and beautiful views. I'm glad Monticello is keeping it in the family so it won't be developed, and it will stay environmentally pure."
Anne McMurtry: "Is that a trick question? I know nothing about Brown's Mountain. Should I?"
Paul Vickers: "Brown's Mountain? Never heard of it. That's going to ruin my reputation as 'outdoorsy guy.' Any relation to the Brown automotive group?"

I recently loaded some videos from my PC to my phone (running Jelly Bean) and got the most recent Google Plus app. I was going to turn on 'Instant Upload' so that it backs up my photos quickly, but realized that it also wants to upload the videos I put on my phone.
Is there a way I can get it to not upload videos from my phone (or have it ignore things in a certain directory on my phone)?

Online shoe retailer Zappos.com found a creative way to fire back at Kanye West after he publicly slammed the company for selling what he called a "sh*t product."
The company posted a toilet and plunger for sale on their website Wednesday after West went on the Bret Easton Ellis podcast armed with some fighting words about Zappos' products.
"I got into this giant argument with the head of Zappos that he's trying to tell me what I need to focus on," West said during the podcast that aired Monday. "Meanwhile, he sells all this sh*t product to everybody, his thing is based off of selling sh*t product."
U.S. & World
West was referring to a conversation he had with Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh during a meeting in Las Vegas, where the company is based.
Hsieh even released a statement on the matter: "Yes, it's true that we sell s-t product," directing readers to the new page.
The description of the toilet also ribbed West through some of his own lyrics:
Interested in buying sh-t product? You've come to the right place! Here at Zappos.com, we happily sell sh-t products to everybody! This is the throne, everyone has been watching. Whether you're #1 or #2, your clique will show no mercy, even in Paris.
The perfect gift for the man that has everything
Requires lots of "focus" for most productive use.
Zappos also took to Facebook to "promote" the product, which comes with a $100,000 price tag. The good news: the toilet ships for free.

Who are we?
Speed Queen, a 100 year-old brand of washing machine!
Speed Queen was established in 1908 in Ripon, Wisconsin (USA). Its founders – Joe Barlow and John Seeling – started out by adding improvements to the earliest washing machines on the market. Since then, innovation has always remained at the heart of the Speed Queen ethos.
Speed Queen machines are characterized by their robustness and durability: made of stainless steel, they require almost zero maintenance. Speed Queen professional washing machines can wash large amounts of laundry in record time (30 minutes in a laundromat).
Speed Queen, proven performance
A manufacturer of professional washing machines for more than 100 years, Speed Queen is now a member of the world's largest industrial laundry group: Alliance Laundry Systems.
For its professionalism and commitment to communities, Speed Queen has been awarded the prestigious Women's Choice Award for several years in a row.
Alliance Laundry Systems, the No. 1 in industrial laundry
Alliance Laundry Systems brings together five of the leading brands in commercial laundry, including Speed Queen. The group offers its customers turnkey solutions to open laundromats, build integrated laundries (hotels, retirement homes, etc.), as well as laundry rooms for residential premises.
All Speed Queen professional washing machines are subjected to thousands of cycles in Alliance Laundry Systems innovation centers: Speed Queen washer-extractors are now considered the most reliable on the market.
The Alliance Laundry Systems Group employs more than 2,500 people across more than 140,000 square meters of office space and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities worldwide. Alliance Laundry Systems has its own financial branch as well as a training academy (ALSU – Alliance Laundry Systems University).
Opening a laundromat
The laundromat market
The laundromat market is booming: a significant proportion of the population does not have a domestic machine or prefers to wash their clothes in laundromat. Indeed, laundromats save time as well as water and electricity.
Where a domestic machine can wash 5 to 7 kg of linen in 2 hours, a professional machine can process up to 25 kg of linen in 30 minutes (1 hour, including drying). A domestic machine cannot always handle large pieces of laundry: some Speed Queen models have a load capacity of more than 20 kg.
The performance of professional machines is much better than that of domestic machines. In fact, the washing machines in laundromats are industrial machines whose design has been adapted for the user. But their performance is identical to that of laundries in luxury hotels.
For all the above reasons, the clientele of our laundromats is varied: men, women, seniors, students, senior managers, large families … just go into any Speed Queen laundromat to see for yourself.
Laundromats also offer numerous advantages for investors: relatively modest initial investment, reasonable fixed and variable costs, no staff costs, zero risk of defaulting, cash payment, fast ROI, easy to manage…

The initial investment will be largely dedicated to equipping your laundry with the best washing machines and dryers on the market. This top-of-the-range equipment is one of the keys to success: reliable machines which require very little maintenance, with fast washing/drying cycles and great performance and satisfied customers and guaranteed income.
How do you open a laundromat?
Opening a laundromat doesn't require any special training.
Speed Queen provides you with the technical support you need for machine maintenance and offers valuable advice to promote your business. It is a business that is open to all: anyone can take advantage of Speed Queen's century of experience and proven, profitable concept.
Simple to manage
You can manage your laundromat remotely: take care of opening and closing the premises (and any equipment problems, which are very rare). Everything else is automated, the wash cycles, the payment process. No need to leave your current job: you can combine the two activities without difficulty.
Choose your location carefully
Good location is the first key to a successful laundromat. Your premises will draw its clients from the immediate neighborhood so locate it in a shopping street or a place with many passers-by.
Speed Queen experts have the know-how and demographic data necessary to choose the best location for your laundromat. They draw up a draft business plan with you and guide you every step of the way.
How much does a laundromat cost?
The start-up costs will depend on the location and size of the laundromat and the number of machines installed, but also on the additional services you want to offer (vending machines, free Wi-Fi…).

Laundromat equipment
Speed Queen professional washing machines
Thanks to advances in computing, Speed Queen can optimally balance the load, reduce vibrations to a minimum, strategically locate the stabilizing springs and design heavy-duty washing machines.
Speed Queen washing machines are lighter, more robust and quieter than ever.
Nowadays, Speed Queen offers very short washing cycles: in 30 minutes, our machines can wash more than 20 kg of laundry per cycle. The spin speed of Speed Queen machines (factor G200, G350 or G400, depending on the model) considerably reduces drying times and brings down the laundromat's electricity bill.
But these advances were not made at the expense of the linen: our equipment is designed to washing textiles in depth without damaging them, with optimal water use and as quickly as possible.
Some of our biggest innovations are the Quantum Gold and Quantum Silver controls: they allow machines to be connected to a network and managed remotely, make it possible to program dozens of cycle combinations and water levels, quick and easy PC programming, varied prices according to service required and time slots…
Speed Queen offers a wide range of professional washing machines the better to meet its customers' needs:
SPEED QUEEN HARD MOUNT – Rigid base machines
|Capacity in kg
SPEED QUEEN SOFT MOUNT – Suspended wringers
|Capacity in kg
Our industrial dryers
The ability to dry your laundry in barely 30 minutes is a definite advantage, especially when the weather is particularly damp. Only a laundromat provides this kind of service.
Our dryers are the result of many years of research and development. They reach ideal temperature and airflow in a few seconds to dry laundry quickly without damaging it. Here too, Speed Queen offers many different models.
The large load capacity of Speed Queen dryers allows users to dry large items of laundry, such as comforters, at the change of season.

Uniform Proposal Review Policy
UAF Policy 10.07.021
Original Adoption: February 24, 2004
Revised: January 23, 2012
Responsible Chancellor's Cabinet Member: Vice Chancellor for Research
Responsible Department/Office: Office of Sponsored Programs
Download signed policy (PDF)
The purpose of this policy is to ensure a transparent, uniform, and consistent review of all proposals submitted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks to sponsors for potential funding, and ensures compliance with sponsor, state, federal, and university regulations and policies.
Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) : An AOR is an individual within UAF that has been delegated signature authority by the Chancellor to approve proposal submissions to external sponsors and/or sign and negotiate award agreements.
UAF currently has two AORs. The pre-award AOR is the Director of the Office of Sponsored Programs. The post-award AOR is the Director of the Office of Grants and Contracts Administration. The pre-award AOR or designee holds the sole responsibility of granting institutional approval to all proposal submissions.
Co-Investigator (Co-I) : A secondary investigator on a sponsored program.
Principal Investigator (PI) : The lead investigator on a sponsored program that is responsible for the overall conduct and completion of the project. At UAF only tenured or tenure-track faculty, research faculty, or emeritus faculty may serve as a PI unless granted an exemption per UAF policy. Please see UAF's Principal Investigator Policy for more information.
Proposal: A proposal is a request made of a sponsor to fund a project. Proposals may be submitted in response to a solicitation (e.g., a Request for Proposals, an Announcement of Opportunity, a Request for Applications, etc.) or can be unsolicited. Proposals for external funding are submitted on behalf of UAF, but composed and executed by the Principal Investigator (PI). The resulting awards are made to UAF's post-award authority (Office of Grants and Contracts Administration). For the purpose of this policy, grant proposals, cooperative agreements*, memorandums of understanding/agreement*, reimbursable services agreements, and revisions to non-awarded proposals are all referred to as "proposals." All proposals must receive Authorized Organizational Representative approval before submission.
(*Cooperative agreements and MOUs/MOAs executed within the scope of facilitating a sponsored program only.)
Sponsor: Sponsors are external entities that award funding to the University. They include federal grant-making agencies, state and local governments, other universities/institutions, private foundations, businesses and corporations, and foreign organizations.
Sponsored Program : A sponsored program is typically a research, educational, or outreach project that is funded by a source outside the University. Activities funded through grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements are sponsored programs. A sponsored program is initiated with a proposal to the sponsor and followed by an award with specific terms, objectives, rights, and reporting requirements. The sponsor, whether it is federal, state, or private holds the University accountable to meet designated terms in exchange for project funding.
Unit: A high-level department, institute, college, or school at UAF. Examples are the Geophysical Institute, School of Education, or College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

- 2 CFR 215 (OMB Circular A-110)
- UAF CASB DS-2 Disclosure Statement
- UAF Principal Investigator Policy
- UAF Policy on Matching Funds/Cost Sharing/In-Kind Contributions on Sponsored Programs at UAF (M/CS)
Each person who signs a proposal certifies different responsibilities:
The Principal Investigator's (PI) signature certifies :
- An agreement to do all work as proposed;
- That there are no significant conflicts of interest (financial or other);
- An agreement to be the overall project manager;
- An agreement to abide by all applicable regulations, policies and procedures related to the project; and
- An agreement to accept responsibility for the scientific and ethical conduct of the project.
- An agreement to do all work as proposed;
- That there are no significant conflicts of interest (financial or other);
- An agreement to abide by all applicable regulations, policies and procedures related to the project; and
- An agreement to accept responsibility for the scientific and ethical conduct of his or her portion of the project.
The Dean's/Director's/Department Head's signature certifies :
- That PI and Co-I/Co-PI workloads are within 100% of effort;
- That unit resources are available and allocated;
- That matching/cost share commitments are authorized and committed; and
- That all space considerations in the project have been accounted for.
The Unit Fiscal Officer's signature certifies:
- That the Proposal budget is in compliance with sponsor/agency, state, federal, and university policies, regulations, and standards.
The Office of Sponsored Programs' signature certifies :
- That the Proposal review was conducted in accordance with this policy; and
- That the Proposal passes that review sufficiently to receive institutional approval.
The Authorized Organizational Representative's (AOR) signature certifies that :
- UAF has the appropriate facilities, resources, and systems in place to administer and monitor the award in compliance with sponsor/agency, state, federal, and university policies, regulations, and standards;
- UAF is committed to the project and agrees to complete the project as proposed if an award is made; and
- That all certifications and assurances in the Proposal are understood, are true statements, are agreed to, and will be abided by.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks only authorizes proposal submissions with AOR approval. If a proposal is submitted to the sponsor without AOR approval, the full proposal package must still be reviewed. The PI will attest to their understanding of the process of authorized proposal review and submission, and will agree to not submit an unauthorized proposal again, along with an explanation as to the nature of the unauthorized submission as it occurred. If this agreement is violated, disciplinary action may be taken. The PI, their dean/director, the AOR, the Vice Chancellor for Research and the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services will sign this agreement and each be given a copy. AOR signature will only be granted if the proposal later passes OSP review as outlined in this policy. If the proposal does not pass OSP review, it will be withdrawn. Any award granted as a result of an unauthorized proposal submission may be rejected at UAF's discretion as stated in the section " UAF Rights Regarding Proposals and Awards " below.
The Proposal Review Process : OSP proposal review is conducted per the procedures specified in Appendix 1 "OSP Proposal Review Process".
Proposal Problems : Problems that arise with a proposal during review will be addressed with the unit's representative and/or PI in order to resolve them in a timely manner. If the problems are not solved sufficiently to pass OSP review, the proposal will be returned to the unit representative and/or PI with an explanation, a timeframe, and potential solution(s) to remedy the problems.
Proposals that are not corrected within the deadline for submission will not be authorized or submitted.
Problems will be documented and kept with the copy of the proposal to be archived along with associated correspondence as a record that all problems have been resolved before AOR approval, proposal submission, or setup of award.
AOR Approval : Once the proposal review has been completed and the proposal has passed the above review, it can be submitted to the AOR for institutional approval, provided the AOR finds no problems with the proposal. The proposal is then authorized for submission to the sponsor.
UAF Rights Regarding Proposals and Awards: Proposals that are submitted that do not allow sufficient review time may be authorized and submitted solely at the AOR's discretion, with the stipulation that a full review will take place after submission. UAF administration reserves the right to withdraw the proposal at any time and/or reject any award made on the proposal if any issues of non-compliance or other serious problems are discovered that place the University of Alaska Fairbanks at unnecessary financial or legal risk.
Archival of Proposals and Record Keeping: An electronic copy of every proposal will reside on UAF Office of Sponsored Programs server space, where it will be archived for minimum of two (2) years. Proposals will be checked by the UAF Office of Sponsored Programs in the Banner Proposal Module (FRAPROP) to ensure that their status has been marked as submitted (S) and that other mandatory fields have been completed correctly.
Distribution of This Policy: A copy of this policy will be distributed to all appropriate deans/directors/department heads and PIs. Confirmation of receipt, certification of understanding this policy, agreement to follow this policy, and agreement to integrate this policy into new faculty and staff orientation will be signed and returned to the UAF OSP and kept as record.
Brian D. Rogers, Chancellor
University of Alaska Fairbanks
Signed: January 23, 2012
APPENDIX 1 – OSP Proposal Review Process
The following OSP proposal review process is mandatory for all proposals originating from UAF units before AOR approval will be granted. Note that every proposal must first be vetted and approved at the unit level, with authorization granted by each unit dean/director before OSP will review it. Units must provide OSP with a minimum of five (5) business days for proposal review and any necessary revisions before AOR approval is granted. Proposals submitted to OSP for review outside of this five day window are not guaranteed to be submitted on time to the sponsor, and are submitted at the discretion of the AOR.
Proposal Routing Form Review : Each proposal must include a Proposal Routing Form (Form OSP-001). This form ensures that uniform information about the proposal will be tracked and readily identifiable as the proposal moves through the various pre-award and post-award processes. The Proposal Routing Form will be reviewed for accuracy, consistency, and these considerations as outlined:
- Ensure the PI is a faculty member, has an approved exemption, or has included a waiver request to the AOR (Form OSP-004) to request exemption from the UAF PI Policy.
- Ensure that the Conflict of Interest statement is signed by all PIs and Co-Is;
- Ensure that the lead unit's and each collaborating unit's dean/director has signed the Routing Form when any unit resources are being committed in the proposal budget (personnel, space, or otherwise);
- Identify any Research Compliance issues (e.g. IACUC, IRB, Biohazards, or Chemical Hazards) and check with the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) to verify application/approval;
- Identify any Research Restrictions (e.g. Classified Research, ITAR/EAR export controls, Restriction on Publications, or Restrictions on Non-Resident Employment);
- Identify any Intellectual Property/Technology Transfer (IP/TT) issues (e.g. Potential for Intellectual Property Disclosure or Potential for Program Income);
- Identify any matching/cost share (M/CS), verify it is mandatory, ensure an Authorization for Matching Funds/Cost Sharing Form (Form OSP-002) is included, and that the agency's published M/CS terms are included. All instances of M/CS must be allowable per 2 CFR 220 (OMB Circular A-21) and conform to all provisions of 2 CFR 215 (OMB Circular A-110). UAF's Match/Cost Share Policy does not allow voluntary cost share;
- Identify any subawards, and ensure a budget, a statement of work, and a Subrecipient Commitment Form (Form OSP-007) is included, signed by the subwardee's PI and AOR;
- Identify any deviations from full allowable F&A recovery, and, if applicable, ensure that the sponsor's published terms showing that is a mandatory reduction are included. Any fees for reduced F&A will be assessed to the unit, unless they complete an F&A Policy Exemption Request Form (Form OSP-003), which is reviewed and approved by the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services or their designee;
- Identify any considerations to treat a vendor service as a subaward in the proposal budget. The unit must complete a Request for Waiver to Treat Vendor as a Subaward Form (Form OSP-005), which is reviewed and approved by the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services or their designee;
- Identify all project space and any space requirements (renovation, modification, or installation of new equipment), including completion of the UAF Space Request Form; and
- Check the unit cover page, if applicable, for consistency with the Proposal Routing Form.
Proposal Abstract and Body Review : The Proposal abstract and body will be reviewed as outlined:
- Ensure completeness of the proposal package per the sponsor's general guidelines (if applicable);
- Ensure the format of the proposal package follows the sponsor's program-specific guidelines (if applicable);
- Identify/address any potential Research Compliance, Research Restriction, or IP/TT issues in the abstract/project narrative as outlined in the section "Proposal Routing Form Review" above.
Budget Review : The Proposal budget will be reviewed as outlined:
- Ensure correct addition of the budget totals;
- Ensure dollar amounts are consistent throughout the proposal text, Routing Form, cover page, budget, and current and pending support form (if applicable);
- Ensure items are listed in the correct budget categories and correctly identified as direct or indirect costs;
- Ensure that only allowable costs are listed as per 2 CFR 220 (OMB Circular A-21) and that these costs are consistent with the UAF Cost Accounting Standards Board Disclosure Statement for Educational Institutions (UAF CASB DS-2);
- Ensure that salaries have been verified in Banner and calculated correctly for faculty, staff, and students;
- Ensure that appropriate leave and benefit rates have been used per UAF's current negotiated agreement, or that the use of projected rates has been disclosed in the budget narrative/justification;
- Ensure that tuition remission has been included for graduate student research assistants employed during the academic school year, if allowed by the sponsor;
- Ensure that graduate student health insurance costs have been budgeted for each graduate student research assistant;
- Ensure that travel categories have been identified (domestic/international), that trips are listed separately, and that the correct per diem rates are applied per GSA regulations or Board of Regents policies;
- Ensure that a budget narrative/justification based on the UAF OSP model has been included with the proposal package, regardless of sponsor requirements;
- Ensure that the budget narrative/justification corresponds to the budget and supports the scope of work;
- Ensure that any applicable UAF Recharge Center rates are correct;
- Ensure that MTDC (when applicable) has been properly calculated per UAF's negotiated agreement;
- Ensure that F&A recovery is calculated properly;
- Ensure that the correct F&A rate is being used depending on the project type, UAF's negotiated agreement and/or the sponsor's guidelines;
- Ensure any instances of M/CS, subawards, or reduced F&A are identified and addressed as outlined in the section "Proposal Routing Form Review" above.

Warner Bros. and producers Dan Lin and Matti Leshem are developing a Moses epic by the title of Gods and Kings. They reached out to Steven Spielberg to direct last fall, but the odds seemed low since the man is already juggling so many projects. Yet Spielberg entered into negotiations with the studio before year's end. Now word comes that Spielberg is very close to signing on the dotted line. The director just wrapped on Lincoln, and is already at work on Robopocalypse, so he's tied up for at least a year. But Warner Bros. hopes they can get Gods and Kings in production with Spielberg in the director's chair by March or April of 2013.
With the new report comes new details on what Spielberg has in mind for the massive project, which he reportedly sees as a "Braveheart-ish version of the Moses story." Hit the jump for more.
Beyond the Braveheart comparison, Deadline's source had a lot to say:
- The script by Stuart Hazeldine and Michael Green tells the whole story from birth to death: "[Moses] coming down the river, being adopted, leaving his home, forming an army, and getting the Ten Commandments."
- There is no intention to film in 3D.
- Spielberg wants a gritty reality for the production—more Saving Private Ryan than The Ten Commandments. Says the source: "There have been glossy versions of the Moses story but this would be a real warrior story."
I am very intrigued. Spring 2013 may be too optimistic, but as we saw with Lincoln, Spielberg will stay with a project for years if he is inspired. We'll let you know if/when it becomes official. In the meantime, here is a rundown of the major events in Moses' life:
- Moses is born in Egypt at a time when all newborn Israelite boys are to be killed. His mother sends him down the Nile to save his life.
- One of Pharaoh's daughters finds baby Moses, and raises her as his own.
- When he is grown, Moses kills an Egyptian who is beating a Hebrew slave. He flees Egypt.
- God appears to Moses in the form of a burning bush, and instructs Moses to deliver the Israelites out of slavery.
- With Moses as his mouthpiece, God unleashes ten plagues on Egypt. Among them: frogs, hail, locusts, and death to the firstborn of every household that neglected to smear lamb's blood across their door frame.
- Pharaoh finally lets the Israelites go. They sing "When You Believe."
- Moses parts the Red Sea on the way out of Egypt—just long enough to allow millions of Israelites to pass through and zero Egyptians.
- The Israelites set off to wander the desert for forty years.
- God drops bread from the sky, and enables Moses to produce water from rocks.
- Moses meets God on a mountain, where god gifts him the Ten Commandments, inscribed on two tablets by God's finger.
- While he's up there, the Israelites start worshipping a golden calf. Moses is livid when he sees this, breaks the tablets, and orders the death of 3,000 of the disobedient. He goes back up the mountain to get more tablets.
- More wandering.
- In the end, God lets Moses see the Promised Land. But Moses dies before he can enter because of that time he hit the rock when he was supposed to speak to it.

Investing » Expand Horizons With International Investing
Look around you. The computer on which you are reading this was made in China. The wooden chair you're sitting on was crafted in Brazil. The foreign car in your neighbor's garage was manufactured in Asia.
If you aren't looking beyond the U.S. by taking advantage of international investing options, you're missing out on some of the best opportunities in the world to make money.
Michael Martin, chief investment officer of Financial Advantage, an investment management company near Baltimore, says some of the most obvious international investment opportunities are in China and India, which have enjoyed long-running manufacturing booms.
China, in particular, has grown 10 percent annually for the last 30 years, he notes. And though the growth rate in China or India may slow down at times, it hurtles forward at a breakneck pace compared to that of the U.S., with potential for more in the future. Output per person in the U.S. is $48,000, but in China, it's just $8,000 and it's only $4,000 in India.
"There are tremendous opportunities in these emerging markets as they embrace free-market concepts to close the prosperity gap," says Martin, adding that one-third of his company's investments are in emerging markets.
Nevertheless, they do hold risk, he warns.
- Developing countries are dependent on exports. If the U.S. and other Western countries stop buying, then their business will slow dramatically.
- Many developing countries are particularly vulnerable to shortages, inflation and politics because they import such basics as food, energy and industrial metals.
- Doing business in developing countries isn't like doing business in the U.S. The legal standards are hazy, and there's no such thing as business transparency.
- Intense poverty results in deadly uprisings, particularly in China and the Middle East.
- Banks are owned by the governments, which freely manipulate currencies and credit.
But none of those factors are shockers, and unfortunately, they're not unique to developing countries. So Martin and other investment experts believe that the risks are manageable and the returns make it all worthwhile.
If you agree, here's how to get started.
Domestic multinational companies
If your tolerance for risk is low, stick with U.S.-based companies that do lots of international business. You can do that by buying individual stocks, actively managed mutual funds or domestic index funds that focus on large companies.
F. John Mathis, professor of global banking and finance at Thunderbird School of Global Management, says some U.S. companies -- PepsiCo, for instance -- make 50 percent or more of their revenues from foreign customers.
If you stick to U.S.-only investments, you'll avoid one risk of investing in foreign equities: the ups and downs of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar. "The companies manage the foreign exchange risk, and you don't have to worry about it," Mathis says.
Foreign companies and international funds
If you're feeling a little braver, consider investing in the stocks and bonds of companies that are based outside the U.S. -- but whose products are household names in this country. Such an overseas investment might be Nestle, which is based in Switzerland. Its products include Gerber baby food, Stouffers frozen dinners and Kit Kat candy bars, among dozens of other familiar brands.
Jonathan M. Bergman, chief investment officer of New York-based Palisades Hudson Financial Group, says the easiest way to invest in these companies is to buy an international mutual fund focused on non-U.S. large-cap firms. He says you can dilute your risk by choosing funds that are well-diversified with respect to products and the places where the companies are based.
You'll still encounter some exposure to world currency shifts because the earnings of these companies are calculated in their home country's currencies. "I think that is potentially a good thing for investors," Bergman says. "We live our lives in dollars, but if there is inflation, we'll be happy that we have non-U.S. investments."
How does this work? Let's say you own stock in TD Bank, headquartered in Toronto. Its income is priced in Canadian dollars, colloquially called the "loonie." If the loonie rises in value against the U.S. dollar, when the return on your investment is converted from loonies to U.S. dollars, the conversion will put more greenbacks in your pocket than you would have gotten if you were a Canadian investor getting returns in Canadian dollars.
It can work the other way, of course. But at the moment, the U.S. government is printing a lot of dollars, and that pushes up the value of foreign currencies from places where this kind of currency inflation doesn't exist.
Mathias echoes the recommendation of investing in actively managed mutual funds. He thinks most U.S. investors are wise to shy away from ETFs based on foreign stocks and indexes. They are too confusing and too risky, he says. "It's like playing a lottery game with your money."
Emerging-markets bonds
If you're knowledgeable about world economies, the next step for international investors in search of yield is bonds in emerging markets issued in the country's currency, also known as sovereign bonds. The returns on these can be very attractive. "Sovereign bonds are in much better shape than those issued by the developed world," says Martin.
He sees what he calls "classic corruption" and heavy-handed crackdowns on unrest in China, and "rocky politics" in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, which affect the economic picture. But overall, "The upside is fantastic. It's worth taking some risk," he says.
He urges investors in sovereign bonds to stick to investment grade and limit their purchases to bonds with maturities between four and five years. "Be well-diversified and liquid."
Aaron Katsman, a financial adviser with Portfolio Resources Group, is another enthusiastic emerging-markets bond investor. An American who is based in Israel, Katsman has clients worldwide. "American investors have done very well with foreign bonds," he says. "You can invest directly or through managed funds or ETFs. They have substantially higher dividends -- north of 5 percent."
Mathias is a little more cautious. He tells investors that if they want to buy foreign bonds or individual foreign stocks, they should identify "a money manager who has a very good track record in these markets."
"There is just a lot of risk," he warns. "The faster the foreign country is growing, the greater the risk. It's much easier to buy than it is to sell. You just don't have the protections that you have in the U.S."

Ways to get over the fact that your $10,000 watch has an ETA inside
Instead of chanting "it can't be" over and over again or asking yourself why the hell did XYZ watch company put this *@$!@! $50-100 movement into such a nice watch. Relax, take deep breaths and let the Raphmeister help you.
Aids to help you accept the fact
- Watch companies using them and the owners probably push the message that it is a proven, accurate, robust and reliable movement. They've gotten so good at this that nearly all players in the industry agrees with this. There are loadsa magazine articles, critiques on ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse supplied movements, the Valjoux 7750, ETA 2892-A2, ETA 2824-2, Unitas 6497 and it normally comes out with the message that it may be ubiquitous but it is a proven, accurate, robust and reliable workhorse movements built like tractors.
AID 1 : Repeat these words often, "it is a proven, accurate, robust and reliable movement"
- Watch houses will dazzle you with statements like, we got the highest grade ETA produces and we've put in a lot of work into it, done extensive modifications to make it even better, finished it to a much higher level (see the Cotes de Geneve), tweaked this a little, junked that bit and replaced it with our own highly specced bits, added new bits in exclusive to us, refined and elevated it to a totally different plane, checkout the COSC certification too. Perfect medicine when you have the ETA shakes or is it the Valjoux wobble :)
AID 2 : Believe that it has been uniquely enhanced and improved to a point that it is almost not an ETA movement. Believe...
If the watch is from a company that has strengths as a manufacture and has its own in-house movements, you could think that it probably means that if they do use ETA, its been refined to about the same level as their in-house brothers. (Please note that this borders on deluding yourself and may not be that healthy)
AID 3 : The watch is from a true manufacture with their own in-house movements. Their models using ETA must be of a higher level, it's really almost like an in-house movement.
Thats it for the aids. Some good (or bad news depending on who you are) is that the Swatch group is actually going to cut down the supply of ETA movements outside of their group. This will probably see other watch houses trying to develop in-house movements or get their ebauches from other suppliers. It will be interesting to see how it develops.
For me personally, I have no qualms with ETA inside, as long as the watch companies are up front about it, don't bs their customers about what they do to the movement and tell us what exactly it is that they do do to it and charge us reasonably for them.
(All the watches shown on the right for this post have ETA inside it)

GREENCASTLE — Before Monday's Mid-Penn Colonial Division match-up with rival James Buchanan, Greencastle-Antrim head coach Greg Cole asked his girls' varsity soccer team not to squander the momentum they had gained from two victories on Saturday that finally pushed their record above .500.
It was quite obvious from the opening whistle that the Blue Devils were paying attention as they cruised to a 7-0 win on the Kaley Field turf.
This was the squad Cole knew he had to begin the season, which began with two quick losses.
The loss to Division rival Gettysburg to begin the year will provide motivation down the road. The 5-0 loss to Trinity a week ago provided an education.
"The girls realized after the Trinity loss that if they play together as a team that really good things can happen," Cole said after Monday's lopsided victory. "It was a wake-up call. We finished the regular season last year at 15-2 and started this season at 0-2, so we obviously have some work to do."
The Rockets traveled East on Buchanan Trail with high expectations of their own and had been playing good soccer thus far with a 2-1 record (1-1 MPC-Colonial). The Blue Devils were riding a three-game winning streak and had no intention of letting the Rockets 'lift-off.'
Just two minutes into the match the Blue Devils' Ally Rudy found herself all alone in front of the Rockets' goal, but with almost too much time to think about how to put the ball past James Buchanan's goalkeeper, her left-footer went just right.
But the tone had been set. Speed, quickness, accurate passing and spacing on the large turf field were going to be too much for the visitors to contend with (the Blue Devils are now 3-1 on the season at home where the new playing surface seems suited to their style).
With the Blue Devils rarely being challenged on the defensive end — G-A goalie Jenay Faulkner had just one save on the evening — the group consisting of Hannah Crist, Nikki Garns, Kasey Sweitzer, Abby and Alyssa Denkovich, Jane Herman and Katie Gelsinger spent most of their night setting up offensive pushes into the Rockets' end.
Ally Rudy finally found the back of the net on a beautiful pass from Herman at the 13:17 mark. Greencastle's Alicia Crider followed that goal with one of her own at 16:48 on a cross that a Rocket defender could not clear and the home team took a 2-0 lead to the break.
While the Blue Devils had played two matches on Saturday, the Rockets had not played since last Monday, but the home team looked like the ones with the fresh legs. The Devils' spacing and crisp, accurate passing had the Rockets chasing white jerseys in the second half and Greencastle made the most of it by exploding for five goals after intermission.
Alyssa Denkovich started the onslaught at 44:15 with an unassisted goal from 25 yards out on a direct kick. Just a few minutes later Rudy scored her second goal at 46:57 with help from her sister, Tabi. Sweitzer was next as she scored from over 35 yards out at 50:38. After setting up her sister's second goal, Tabi Rudy went unassisted to make it 6-0 at 65:30. The home team finished the scoring with Denkovich scoring her second and perhaps the most impressive goal of the evening with a direct kick from 35 yards out that found the upper-right hand corner of the net at 77:57.
The Blue Devils have now outscored their last three opponents by a combined 17-4.
"We have been challenging them to become better team players," Cole stated after the game. "We moved some girls around, sat some players down that usually start. We just want them to play up to their potential."
The attitude adjustment and momentum swing come just in the nick of time as the Blue Devils hit the road for two key Colonial Division matches against Big Spring today and Boiling Springs on Thursday.
The Blue Devils are now 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the division. James Buchanan falls to 2-2 overall and 1-2 in league play.
GIRLS' SOCCER: Greencastle-Antrim rolls past James Buchanan

It has never been reasonable that you should employ your leisure on a topic so frivolous and so vain as reading this humble blog. But if you wish to persist in your irrationality, we hope to see you at the new, unimproved TBA. Thanks!

"It comes down to knowing yourself very well. I'm very aware of the vibes I'm giving off and how people perceive them."
—JudFabio, summarizing in two sentences the essence of Survivor
So much of this 21st season of Survivor has paled in comparison to its 20th iteration. The castaways were not only unfamiliar, but seemingly unenlightened in how to play the game. The outsize personalities were less polarizing than simply unpleasant, and none of the final five could really lay claim to controlling the game for extended periods of time.
But Survivor: Nicaragua did deliver something that Heroes vs. Villains couldn't: a completely compelling and satisfying finale with a more-deserving-than-we-thought winner. Let's take a spin.
The "Previously on…" established the narrative arcs and the relative strengths and weaknesses for each of the final five castaways. Dan had done nothing, but that included not making any enemies. Holly had a nervous breakdown before taking down the game's most powerful player in Brenda. Chase seemed to show genuine remorse each and every time he voted off an ally. Sash had made innumerable side deals, allying himself with everyone (and, as a result, no one). JudFabio was dumb—or was he?—and is a physical threat to win immunity.
