I have always thought there would be a great market for reproduction posters at realistic and reasonable prices of the various promo releases from this sun-drenched 1950s Hitchcock classic, To Catch A Thief. Hitherto that hasn't been the case and the ones that were on the market were at silly prices. Until now.

Nothing like a little friendly competition between teammates, right? Well, not exactly -- in this week's fresh episodes of The Prince of Tennis, Ryoma and Fuji, surely the two coolest cats on the team, take each other on, and the competitive fire hits a blistering pace! Best line from episode 39 comes courtesy of Fuji (check out around the 6:58 mark to see it in context): "I enjoy watching other people suffer even more!" Who knew that behind that kind smile lurked such a mean streak? (heh heh) And what exactly is the "brown bear"? No, a wild animal isn't running amok on the court, but one of Fuji's signature shots will! Yep, intrasquad matches are definitely more than just fun and games...
Catch the rest of the Prince of Tennis series in the Prince of Tennis section!
Episode 39: The Brown Bear
Inter-team practices are held before the Metropolitan Matches, and Ryoma and Fuji face off, each bringing out his most formidable moves to topple.
Episode 40: A Duel in the Rain
Ryoma and Fuji's match continues on with ferocity and the rest of the inter-team match up starts! Tezuka counters Momoshiro's smashes easily. Kaido's snake threatens to overpower Kawamura, and Oishi tests Kikumaru's stamina.
This week's Prince of Tennis episodes might win the prize for best episode titles so far. "Penal-Tea"? Genius. First, Ryoma gets roped into giving a tennis lesson to Sakuno but, as per usual, ends up defending her honor against a bunch of tennis toughs from Ginka -- nothing a well-aimed ball to the face can't cure! And as fate would have it, Ryoma catches the eye of Akutsu, the resident thug of Yamabuki Junior High, who also happens to be Tamabuki's best tennis player... With a matchup between Yamabuki and Seigaku looming, things are bound to get out of control...
Lest you think that things are completely serious this week, we also get treated to the sight of Taka hanging out with a beautiful girl...? (gulp) And then of course there's Inui's devastating "tea," guaranteed to wipe out anyone who drinks it!
Catch the new episodes on our Prince of Tennis page.
Episode 37: A Tennis Ball with Ryoma's Face
It's Ryoma's day off, but Nanjiro tricks him into giving tennis lessons to Sakuno and Tomoka!
Episode 38: Penal-Tea
Before Seigaku's tennis practice starts, a rival player from Yamabuki is seen on campus asking around for Ryoma and causing trouble. Meanwhile, Inui has some very special training planned.
One of the cool things about anime heroes is that they can summon new, more powerful moves when they absolutely need to -- not a bad ability to have, huh? Just imagine being able to go into "super chef" mode if you had to whip up a good meal for a bunch of your buddies. Or "sprint version 2" if you need to outrun the local bully. Last week we witnessed the fruits of the "feigned sleep attack," and in this week's fresh episodes of The Prince of Tennis, Ryoma's latest weapon is unveiled. And if that wasn't enough, we also get to see Shusuke good and mad for once when he goes up against the Mizuki, the crafty St. Rudolph player who's run roughshod over his little brother.
You also have to love how moments of tennis action that would probably take one or two seconds tops in this world are expanded into 30 seconds of seat-clutching tension in The Prince of Tennis. Hey, it's artistic license, something we can always use more of. Imagine if everything in anime was like real life -- pretty boring, right?
Episode 35: Drive "B"
Ryoma sees the secret behind Yuta's most powerful move and tells him to stop using it, as it will hurt him eventually. Ryoma then unveils his new move, the "Drive B."
Episode 36: Big Brother, Shusuke Fuji
Shusuke Fuji is up against the St. Rudolph mastermind Mizuki, but he isn't his usual cheerful self. Will Fuji be able to fend off Mizuki's data-driven tennis?
You have to love a concept like Kikamaru's "feigned sleep attack." Too bad it doesn't work in real life -- think of the potential applications! You're about to get fired from work for sleeping on the job, but then, with perfect timing, you awake just in time to nail your assignment! I'm sure the extra sleep does wonders for the complexion too... Alas, I must be wide awake while typing this post, but at least you get to enjoy the latest episodes of The Prince of Tennis, which feature a surprising finish to a tiebreaker, sibling rivalry, fire in Ryoma's eyes, and a nice little bit about strategy against left-handed players, because lefties deserve our love too!
Episode 33: The Tiebreak
Kikumaru brilliantly revives his strength and breaks out his acrobatic moves, and the grueling doubles match with St. Rudolph goes into a tiebreak. Will Eiji be able to hold out to the end?
Episode 34: Twist Spin Shot
Ryoma Echizen's turn is finally up, and he faces Fuji's younger brother Yuta, who will stop at nothing to surpass his older brother.
"Let's keep lively out there!" How many times have you heard your high school phys ed coach yell those very words to you whenever you're panting on the field or on the court? If Eiji has heard those words, he sure doesn't seem to pay much attention, as we find out in this week's fresh episodes of The Prince of Tennis. We've heard the term "catch your opponent napping," but does "catch your opponent by napping" ever work? Find out over in The Prince of Tennis section!
Episode 31: The Moon Volley
Next up is Seigaku's "golden pair," Kikumaru and Oishi, and the two find themselves facing some tough challengers. Ryoma notices that their opponent Akazawa's hits make the ball a blur—could this be the secret to their surprising success?
Episode 32: Mortal Blow: Eiji's Feigned Sleep Attack
Oishi and Kikumaru try the Australian Formation to gain the upper hand over the St. Rudolph pair. But when Kikumaru's energy starts to fade, their game is in jeopardy!
Please submit a suggestion or a comment - we would love to hear from you!
Thank you!

text: Q&A: Android design chief details Google's mobile future Technology 24 January 12 by Mike Isaac Tweet Diarmuid Miklos By most measures, the Android platform is an enormous success. It dominates the smartphone space in terms of market share, with over a quarter of a billion currently activated devices. It's on phones and tablets made by four of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world. And its reach isn't slowing.But with enormous growth comes problems, many of which Google knows quite well. App stores. Competitors. That dirty word: "fragmentation." All of this bogs down Android during a critical phase of its development, just a few years since its initial launch.Android needs a hero -- someone who can unify the platform and work on the many weaknesses that critics attack, and even supportive users grumble about. And Matias Duarte, Android's head of user experience, wants to take that role.Under Duarte, Android launched Ice Cream Sandwich -- aka Android 4.0 -- late last year. It's the team's strongest effort yet in offering a robust, well-designed operating system that can measure up to the likes of Apple's iOS and Microsoft's platform. And at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month, Duarte launched the other half of the plan, the Android Design web site, which aims to make it easier for designers to create better, more user-friendly apps.Wired sat down with Duarte at CES for an exclusive pre-launch interview, and picked his brain about Android, design in general, and competing operating systems like Windows Phone and webOS -- the platform he architected for Palm years ago.On Android DesignWired: So tell me the philosophy behind launching the Android Design developer site. Is it specifically for what users are going to see in the interface, or is this more engineering focused? Matias Duarte: It's both what the user sees and how the application functions. Thus far, Android has had a lot of terrific developer API-level documentation. But we haven't really had a style guide, we haven't had interaction guidelines.We haven't, for example, given you a lot of guidance on how to migrate your application from a phone perhaps to a tablet. We've done so only by example, by showing you the way all the apps function in Ice Cream Sandwich. So we want to just kind of open up our studio's doors, if you will. We want to show you how we think, and how we designed Ice Cream Sandwich to work. What all its principals and its rules and its conventions are so you don't have to try and discover that yourself.Is this a response to feedback you've been getting from the Android community? This is something that developers and designers are really hungry for. For any platform, it's really important to understand what its conventions and patterns are. And so this is our chance -- now that we've finished running the marathon to get the product out the door -- to show them how they too can make apps that look and work as simply and as beautifully as the apps that we've made for Ice Cream Sandwich.You know what this strikes me as? Like my Bible, the AP Style Guide, only for developers. That's exactly what it is. There's a lot of generally agreed-upon good interaction design practices, as well as universal mobile interaction practices. Still, every operating system does things a little differently, has its own conventions. The frameworks are different.So does this mean -- "rules?" There's direction, and then there's mandate. Well, it's a slightly different situation because we don't have an editor who's going to yell at you if you're out of line. In computer ecosystems, the public decides how successful applications will be after they hit the market. So within our style guide we have certain things that we think are absolutely how one should make an Android app. But there are other variables -- examples in which code is good in some cases and bad in others. There it's left up to you to make a judgment call as to which pattern you should adopt. There, we don't have a hard and fast rule. But in either case, there's nothing that we do to enforce that.On tablets vs. smartphonesWired: I'm thinking of tablets versus smartphones specifically, and where Ice Cream Sandwich fits in. Is this going to help bridge that gap? This is something that -- in terms of tablets -- people have wanted for a long time. Matias Duarte: Yes, absolutely.Sometimes you have to break the rules. But it always helps to know that you're breaking the rules.We have some portions of the guide that are specifically focused on that topic. How to design an app that takes advantage of the extra space on the tablet. How to design an app that will adapt and use a different type of user interface when it recognises on a screen that is appropriately phone-size, and on a screen that's tablet size.So what we've launched -- it's not a document, it's not a book, it's a site. It's a destination where we continuously add more detail to some of the documentation that we have, and some of it is very nitty-gritty.To be honest, some of the most valuable content is in our design patterns. It's our thinking that goes into certain conventions, or paradigms, practices. And in these we've started with a set of some of what we think are the most important or new patterns that we've introduced in Ice Cream Sandwich. Do you expect this to bolster tablet apps in general? I think it should help tablet apps. Honestly, again, it wasn't a particular goal of ours to focus on tablet apps because we don't really think of tablet apps internally. But I think there's no doubt that several sections of the guide do focus on some of the problems unique to larger screens, and so by nature that will help tablet apps.

Faulty Items

If your watch develops a fault within the period of the manufacturer's guarantee then please read the section below on Watch Under Guarantee' for more information on what to do. Your statutory rights are not affected.
Watches Under Guarantee
All of our watches are covered by their manufacturer's guarantees, please consult your guarantee booklet for information on the length its length. You should keep any guarantee booklets and cards safe so that they are available if necessary. We strongly recommend that you read the guarantee as this informs you what is and what is not covered, but we have included a general guide below. The manufacturer's guarantee covers malfunctions that arise due to defects in materials and workmanship. The manufacturer's guarantee does not cover damage to the bracelet, strap, attachments or the glass crystal due to normal wear and tear, accidental damage and excessive wear and tear/abuse. It also does not cover water damage done to the watch if it has been used outside of the manufacturer's recommended guidelines. The guarantee is usually rendered void if unauthorised repairs have been carried out by someone other than an authorised dealer of the brand. The manufacturer's guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights. We always recommend that if your watch does develop a fault you take it into an authorised dealer of the brand who should be able to confirm whether it is covered under the guarantee or not. If the watch does develop a fault which is covered by the guarantee then you can either return it direct to the manufacturer yourself, with a covering note outlining the problem and your guarantee booklet, or return it to us to send to the manufacturer on your behalf. If you want to return it to us then we would ask you to include a covering note outlining what the problem is and containing a contact number.

Last month, my friend Nick and I flew across the country to Portland, Oregon to surprise our friend Carly on her birthday. Luckily, it was a last minute decision (we found super cheap tickets on Kayak.com less than two weeks before leaving!) because if we had been planning this for a while, there's no way we would have been able to keep the secret. I will tell you more about our birthday surprise next week, when I'm going to write about the city of Portland and its different neighborhoods (and food carts, of course!), but this week is all about nature.
On one of our off-days, Carly, Nick, and I drove to the nearby Multnomah Falls. When we arrived, parked in a puddle 3 inches deep, and climbed to the bottom of the falls, it was difficult to tell if there was any spray, or if it was all just rain (with the exception of half of one day, it rained/drizzled nonstop during our whole stay in Portland). In any case, the falls were beautiful. You can even climb to the very top if you are feeling inspired. We were not. But we did make it to the bridge halfway up (see pics below).
Afterwards, we headed to the Vista House on Crown Point for a moment of clear sky (literally, a moment – by the time we got up there, the storm was already rolling back in. Was pretty amazing to see, though). We checked out the small museum (and shop, of course) in the basement of the Vista House. This is a definite must-see if you are close by Portland. It is simply awe-inspiring, and you can drive to the top – no hiking involved!

The brunt of the blow fell on the backs of the middle class because their major financial asset and wealth builder�real estate in their homes�was so negatively impacted. According to the Fed study, the median value of Americans' stake in their homes fell by 42% between 2007 and 2010, to $55,000, or where they were in 1992. Losing a job for an extended amount of time also set the middle class back, severely affecting their retirement savings plans and restricting their access to credit in the future because of missed payments.
Owners of businesses and other wealthier people were less affected. Their median net-worth actually rose a little. They had assets that could bounce back with the markets, such as stocks and bonds. Their businesses could regain value once the economy picked up again and profits were better. In addition, the wealthy had advisors who put them into instruments that shielded them better from the whipsawing capital markets.
But, they weren't totally immune from the recession either. A non-profit, pro-regulation group called Better Markets estimated that the financial crisis cost $7.6 trillion in actual and projected economic damage from 2008 to 2018. So, what has been and what will be the effect of the recession on family planning and the transfer of assets?
Protecting Assets
As 2012 ends and 2013 begins, current estate planning rules are advantageous to protecting assets and transferring wealth with less tax. In fact, last year has been labeled the year of the gift tax, partly because you can gift up to $5,120,000 tax-free in 2012, and the estate tax exemption is also the same amount.
Those exemptions will decrease to $1 million each this year in 2013, and this year's estate tax rate of 35% could potentially rise to 55%, more in line with historical levels. So if you are in the position to do so, take advantage of the current rules.
This also is the time to analyze whether to transfer from a 401(k) to a Roth IRA. If your wealth has substantially declined and your income is lower, you can transfer assets into a Roth at your lower income tax rate, and there is less tax to pay overall because the asset has lost value. After the transfer, the assets appreciate tax-free and the potential overall tax is less over time.
Business Owner Succession and Transfers
Let's say you are 70 and own a profitable metal fabrication distribution business that has $20 million in sales, with EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $4 million. That's pretty good in this sluggish economy, as most business sell at about six to eight times EBITDA, so the business might be worth $24 to $32 million.
Yet despite wanting to sell the business and begin transferring wealth to your two children, you are hesitating, because only five years ago, your EBITDA was $6 million and you were getting offers better than eight times EBITDA. If you wait a little longer, you might sell for more money. On the other hand, some owners die while waiting for things to turn around, opening up the estate to potentially higher estate taxes.
An alternative would have been to use this 2012 window as an opportunity. You can transfer assets such as ownership in the business to others at a lower historical value, thus paying less tax while taking advantage of 2012 rules. You can use entities to enable the transfer at better tax rates, such as partnership transfers that discount the value of the business inside the partnership.
The trick is to keep key employees, and that may include children, working in the business. One way is to provide incentives, such as a written contract stating that as the company increases in value, the employee will receive a cash bonus of, say, 20% of that increase. This doesn't involve share transfers, only cash; therefore your beneficiaries are protected from erosion of their future share values.
Buy/Sell Insurance Policies on Business Partners
There is insurance you can buy to protect closely held companies from losing a key owner or executive, and the recession impacts these policies. The buy/sell policy provides money to buy out an owner should he or she die or become disabled. It is priced at a level determined by a business valuation.

COGEN LIPTON: Snyder sides with corporations over people and small businesses
Given the chance to choose between special interests from Las Vegas or Michigan jobs, I would have hoped our governor would have chosen Michigan workers. After all, this is the governor who claims to be working hard to bring economic opportunity to the people of our state. Yet this is also the same governor who caved in to big corporations last month and signed the highly controversial right-to-work bills into law over the objections of thousands of working people protesting outside his office.
That's why I was saddened but not surprised when Gov. Rick Snyder pocket vetoed a bill that would have bolstered the small-business owners that make up Michigan's harness horse racing industry. Once again, our governor has doubled down on siding with corporate special interests against the people of Michigan, and thousands of Michigan people may lose jobs as a result.
House Bill 5546, which would have allowed betting on videos of historical horse races at Michigan's horse tracks, was passed with bipartisan support in the Legislature and presented to the governor in December. The proposal was seen as a way to inject new life into Michigan's surviving horse tracks. Facing ever-growing competition from casinos backed by corporate gaming businesses, half of Michigan's horse tracks have closed since 2005, leaving four remaining, including the Hazel Park Harness Raceway. As the state tepresentative for the 27th District, which includes Hazel Park and the raceway, I realize firsthand the detrimental impact this has on our homegrown racing industry. Rather than support this home-grown enterprise, however, Snyder sided with out-of-state corporate casino interests in opposing the bill.
The governor said he refused to sign the bill because it is unconstitutional. But time and again, concerns of constitutionality haven't hampered our governor when he wields the signing pen.
Many of the bills he signed into law in the past two years -- and particularly during the lame duck session last month -- carry constitutional questions. It's likely that the sweeping overregulation of women's health clinics will be challenged in the courts, as will the so-called right-to-work laws that slammed their way through the legislative process while the public was locked out of the Capitol. Snyder also signed into law a requirement that voters declare their citizenship before voting, even though he cited constitutional concerns when he vetoed a similar citizenship checkbox earlier in the year.
Clearly, it's not matters of constitutionality that guide the governor's signing pen. As he has shown repeatedly, the governor never misses an opportunity to side with giant corporations over the people and small businesses of Michigan. When it comes to what's best for Michigan, Snyder is betting on the wrong horse.
State Representative Ellen Cogen Lipton (D-Huntington Woods) represents the City of Hazel Park.

breaking news
JOPLIN, MO.--- Joplin Police Officers say they've taken 5 reports just this week of thieves targeting mailboxes throughout the Joplin area. They say people put checks in their mail, and someone steals it before someone from the post office collects it. The thieves then alter the checks for a higher amount and cash them, and victims don't realize what's happened until their bills aren't paid on time. Officers recommend being aware of who approaches your mailbox.
"The safest thing is going to be to drop it into a mailbox somewhere that belongs to the Post Office, that way you know it's been delivered," says Chuck Niess, Joplin Police Department.
Officers are monitoring when the checks were cashed in order to compile a list of suspects.

Because of their legendary status, ancient Greeks named the star constellation Delphinus ("The Dolphin") after these animals. Even today dolphins inspire intrigue and imagination—you'll only need to go as far as Dolphin Cove at Key West to understand why.
Here, one of the largest interactive dolphin pools in the world is home to a playful group of bottlenose dolphins, who you can watch both above and below the surface of the water. Be sure to check on feeding times to get in on an even more unforgettable experience.
We encourage you to feed and interact with the dolphins at Dolphin Cove. Please be sure to keep your service animal a minimum of six (6) feet from the dolphins.
Here you can enjoy feeding the fun-loving dolphins at specified times each day for an additional fee. Check your park map for feeding times.

This Duvet Cover is VERY Soft! We just LOVE the materia (my husband is a fabric snob) :) l - but at the same time it might be a little too soft, as the comforter does not stay in place. I'm not yet certain whether it is the cover or if our comforter is too small, but either way it slides. I think we may end up purchasing a larger conforter in the future, but for now we will just have to "deal" with the slipping and sliding.
This duvet cover set is exactly what I needed. I had compared prices at Target and Ikea, but when I read the earlier review with a description of it being soft, it was enough to convince me to buy especially for the great price. For this quality, I expected it to be much thinner and have a bit of a rougher texture. It is smooth and comfortable. I love it! I don't think anyone could be disappointed with this purchase!
The color I chose is exactly what was advertised. The material product is excellent. Pricing is better than bargain shopping from store to store.
I bought this for my Ralph Lauren white down comforter. My dogs sleep on the bed and I did not want them getting it dirty. I read all of the great reviews on this product but I am a little disappointed in the quality. The material is a thin as the sheets on my bed if not thinner. The buttons at the bottom come undone daily. It is soft but not what I was looking for.
'Just what I was looking for. I needed this for my son's room and was trying to match Denver Bronco orange. This looks great in his room.Perfect color; good price; made well. Very nice . . . and soft
After spending hours searching for the perfect duvet cover, I bought this because it was a low price and my bed was coming soon. I figured it would work until I found the right one. The other reviews are right... this duvet cover is really soft! This weekend I'm planning to sew buttons or snaps to secure the corner of the duvet insert (also bought on overstock.com). That little bit of work is worth getting this quality for this price. I do recommend taking the duvet straight out of the dryer and putting it on the duvet insert ASAP. I got my husband to help with our king size the first time and it looked great. The second time I tried it on my own, and by the time it was finished and on the bed it was a little bit wrinkled. Not bad, but it could have been if I'd let it cool off in the dryer.
Size is right, color is spot on, just what I was looking for.
Material as thin as a sheet I could not use the item, I couldnt return because I had thrown away the packaging.
The duvet is very soft and comfy. Actually, good for the price I paid for. The only problem is that the buttons seem to small and they constantly open up making the duvet fall out.
Thin, un-cotton-like, and rayon-like silky texture. But easy to wash and dry: doesn't take up a lot of room in the wash (as a cotton duvet cover does) and dries quickly in the dryer or outside. doesn't wrinkle much. Sage color looks like the picture.

Hi all,
I've created an annotation/aspect combination to run some setup/tear down code around methods. I want it to run before and after @Transactional. I've marked my aspect class with @Order(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE) and it works ok, however it seems there should be a more flexible way. Is it possible to specify the order somewhere else, such as in the annotation itself? For example, what if in some cases I want to run advice A, B, and C in that order, but in other cases I want C, B, and A?

The Ride Before The Ride
This summer the Rapha Continental has been attending a handful of organized rides and events and last weekend we rode the Oregon EchelonFondo. A ride that is close to home, Hood River, OR, and a ride that would see Chris Horner - Team RadioShack as guest rider.
As Hood River is only a 70+ mile bicycle ride away we decided to ride out the day before the EchelonFondo. As soon as we all made plans to meet at Stumptown in deep SE Portland I had sudden feelings of a Classic Continental Ride. Just 6 of us, self supported, no follow van, our own cameras and on our own time.
It was brilliant, sunny, humid, and a good solid day on the bike with all the classic Continental elements, exploration, fresh salmon that we stuffed our pockets with for dinner later, flat tires, fading daylight, poaching pears, and camaraderie. Everything that makes a ride, a real ride.

Guest blog submitted by MandeeCoyMaiden.
I've pretty much been taller than average since I could stand up. In my preschool class photo, I had to stand in the back row with the all the boys (cooties much?). In the size-order kindergarten line, I was the tall, lonely child at the end with no partner (there was an odd number of students). I've been tall enough to go on any rollercoaster since about age 7, and the list goes on from there. This is compounded with the incredible insecurity about height given to me by my similarly-sized mother – nothing would make her happier than to see me wearing flats every day and slouching over.
Then of course are the lovely words of wisdom instilled to me over and over again over the years:
"Don't worry – the boys will catch up to your height sooner or later!" Well folks, I'm 22 now, and it still seems like I'm towering over 90% of the guys I meet. One day, when I was feeling extra insecure about being tall and wondering where exactly all the tall men were – I did a little research.
The countries with the top five tallest men (in order) are as follows: 1. The Netherlands, 2. Denmark, 3. Sweden, 4. Czech Republic, 5. Norway.* I immediately requested tourist brochures to all of the above places, and am currently trying to convince my friends to go to on vacation to Stockholm next summer.
Fortunately, I have overcome much of my height-induced insecurity. I've started wearing heels on a regular basis, and get a little surge of pleasure every time a short person asks me to reach something on a high shelf in the supermarket or mall. But, I still hesitate to give my number to guys that seem too short for me. Does any girl enjoy feeling like a giantess? Maybe in time I'll overcome this – if not, I guess I'll consider immigrating to Scandinavia.
Does anyone else feel insecure about their height? Which tall nation would you move to?

Snapchat: A step away from the refined Facebook profile.
Facebook is not usually described as refined but according to Evan Spiegel, founder of SnapChat, Facebook is exactly that.
"I don't know about you but my friends are really weird," said 22-year-old Spiegel in a Forbes Blog article. Yet all of their quirks have been lost in the rarefied air of social media, replaced by self-conscious, superhuman wits who trade in "envy me" scenes—sunsets and vacations, impossibly fun parties and gourmet dinners.
According to Spiegel, his image sharing app SnapChat celebrates the fun in spontaneity and is an attempt to replicate the unpredictability of human interactions.
Launched in 2011, SnapChat works on the premise of fleeting moments. Users share images to their friends who have 1-10 seconds to view the image before it disappears forever.
Images can be captured through screenshots, but this is automatically relayed to the original sender which Spiegel said sets transparent expectations around conversation.
"A little friction is powerful," he told Forbes.
A simple yet effective concept as demonstrated by the massive 20 million snaps per day the app reportedly receives.
This simplicity is continued through to the app's functionality and design.
Users send a photo in three taps and can opt to add in captions and doodles, while the receiver keeps a finger on the photo to view it before it disappears into the abyss.
There's a newsfeed of sorts, coloured in pastels and featuring the app's mascot "Ghostface Chillah" but that's about it.
Perhaps it's the simplicity or the alternative to messaging which attracts the masses, mostly teenagers or youth between 13-24.
It could also be the sexting opportunities SnapChat provides. Something apparently avoided by the need to keep a finger pressed on the image before it disappears.
Either way, with its latest Android instalment, SnapChat's popularity isn't waning and while it doesn't yet generate revenue, it's a possibility to doesn't seem too far off.

As we end 2009, political junkies like me are already looking ahead at what may be in store for our country and state next year. This has been a historic year, with massive deficit spending by Congress, a president looking to nationalize our healthcare system, and the Conservative movement finding its voice again in the form of Tea Parties. With all that has happened in 2009, we begin to look and wander how 2010 will look this time next year. Some have said next year's elections may be the most important in our country. I whole-heartedly agree with that sentiment.

PORTLAND, Ore. June 10, 2013. A recent government report reveals that the number of houses in dispersed rural settings in western Washington has doubled over the past 30 years, and that 20 percent of nonfederal land is currently developed. "Resource lands in Washington are being lost at a rate of a football field every 18 minutes," says Andy Gray, a research ecologist at the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest (PNW) Research Station. "People are concerned about losing capacity to grow local food crops and wood products, and about how patterns of development are impacting water quality, wildfire risk, and wildlife."
PORTLAND, Ore. June 10, 2013. A recent study in the Journal of Forestry now offers managers a tool to help them identify regions exposed to multiple forest threats. The tool uses a novel 15-mile radius neighborhood analysis to highlight locations where threats are more concentrated relative to other areas, and identifies where multiple threats may intersect. It is a technique that may have never been used before to describe forest threats, according to the researchers.
CORVALLIS, Ore. June 3, 2013. A new analysis led by the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station encourages resource managers to consider a broadened view of forests as consumers of water.A shift in thinking toward reducing the risk of water stress to vegetation can help forests maintain their resilience and health in a changing climate, according to a paper published online in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.
Global warming alarmists and their media allies have been caught doctoring the results of a widely cited paper asserting there is a 97 percent scientific consensus regarding human-caused global warming.After taking a closer look at the paper, investigative journalists report the authors' claims of a 97 percent consensus relied on the authors misclassifying the papers of some of the world's most prominent global warming skeptics. At the same time, the authors deliberately presented a meaningless survey question so they could twist the responses to fit their own preconceived global warming alarmism.
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 9, 2013 - Members of the House of Representatives, representing a broad geographic range, today announced the creation of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) Working Group. This Working Group, led by House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings and Western Caucus Co-Chair Cynthia Lummis, will examine the ESA from many angles. Throughout this year, the Working Group will hold a series of events, forums, and hearings that will invite discussion and input on ways in which the ESA (last reauthorized in 1988) may be working well, how it could be updated, and how to boost its effectiveness for both people and species.

Sarah Morby b. 1871 Great Gransden
Profile | Posted by | Options | Post Date |
Morbytree | Report | 26 Jan 2013 11:45 |
Sarah was born to Samuel Morby and Elizabeth Rowles in Great Gransden, Huntingdoneshire. The family moved via Eynesbury and on to Winslow in Buckinghamshire. In 1892 she gave birth to a child (Harry Powell Morby) whilst living and working in Northampton. After this point I have been unable to find any trace of her (in marriages or deaths). Her child was raised by his grandparents, Samuel and Elizabeth. Her last address (in 1892) was 18 Vernon Street, Northampton. Did she die giving birth and the death wasn't registered? Or, did she give her child to her parents and go back to work? Any help to find Sarah would be most welcome. |

Morbytree | Report | 28 Jan 2013 12:02 |
That's the family Shirley and thank you for the information and for taking the time to look them up. I had found those documents but have yet to find Sarah on the 1901 or 1911 census. She just appears to have disappeared after giving birth to Harry. Samuel and Elizabeth appear to have raised him as their child but his birth certificate tells a different story. No father is menntioned on the certificate, but I suspect his father was "Harry Powell". However, it's not something you can prove. I may have to take a trip to Northampton Records and see if I can locate a death/burial for Sarah. Alternately, she may have been married by 1901. I have searched using her birth details minus a surname but no luck on that. |

Thanks Thelma - you've spotted the other problem with tracing her. She had used the name Tessie S (or possibly Jessie S). But no luck searching with those alternatives after 1892 either. |
