Vodafone won EU approval on Friday for its 7.7 billion euro ($10.43 billion) acquisition of Germany's largest cable company, Kabel Deutschland.
British group Vodafone - the world's second-largest telecoms operator - announced the deal in June, which will help the company to fend off rivals in its most important market.
The European Commission said the deal did not raise concerns as it would not appreciably alter competition in the markets where the companies are currently active.
"The Commission's investigation confirmed that the activities of the merging parties were mainly complementary," the EU's executive said in a statement.
"While Kabel Deutschland primarily offers cable TV, fixed line telephony and Internet access services, Vodafone's core business consists of mobile telephony services," it added.
Vodafone, which this month agreed the sale of its stake in U.S. operator Verizon Wireless for $130 billion, wants to buy Kabel Deutschland to offer more television and fixed-line services in Germany, its largest European mobile market.
The British company last week said earlier this week it had secured 76.48 percent of Kabel Deutschland shares, which is above the 75 percent minimum acceptance condition it had set.
So-called "quad-play" services offering TV, broadband, mobile and fixed-line telephony have caught on rapidly in markets such as France and Spain, but the largely fragmented German cable market is still some way behind.
This means a deal for the cable company could enable Vodafone to steal a march on rivals such as Liberty Global's Unity Media and Deutsche Telekom.
With consumers wanting to watch TV and video on an array of devices, cable assets have become more attractive as they can provide internet services at speeds often five times faster than competing services from traditional telecom companies.

Since I did these curd tarts a few days ago, I'm feeling a bit doughy. Already before in my life I had such phases. I need to feel the flour and eggs and butter and whatever between my fingers. So I have to do something with a dough. There was not the call for sweet things nor was it for pizza ( I luv it, though). Somehow the willingness to what for a relative long time to get my food evaded me.
There were some courgettes loosely lying around and I wanted to use them. Lately I read on some other luvly blogs about some recipes, like courgette chips or fritters, but somehow I wasn't in the mood for that either. However, from that you already see, that there are a lot of options on what to do with courgettes.
A little note on the side. You can really spoil a lot for your kids, when you prepare certain vegetables in a wrong and tasteless way. In the past at home we used to get some kind of mashed over-cooked courgette something with potatoes and minced meat. My brother didn't survive that. No, he just doesn't like courgette anymore. That is the point. I think you are getting a hint of what I am trying to say.
Whatsoever, this has nothing to do with the now following: Rosemary and Courgette Quiche.
That was, what my mind was on ... somehow. Now I would like to tell you, that I went into the kitchen getting my gear ready ... hat, leather jacket and bullwhip ...
... but I didn't! No, that was not how things turned out, although I went about with the recipe again in this Indy kind of manner - making this up as I go (you might remember a certain cake). Nevertheless, see what happens ...
250 g flour
125 g butter
One egg yolk
A pinch of salt
About 5 tablespoons of cold water
250 g of creme fraiche or double cream
A few sprigs of rosemary
3 eggs
One medium sized courgette
50 - 100 g of cheddar cheese (or different - according to your liking)
Salt and pepper
Method (kind of):
First the doughy part: sift the flour into a bowl and then use your finger tips to knead in the butter until you have a nice crumble. You could use a machine as well, but hey ... it's more fun using your hands, feeling the flour and eggs and ... well, you know. After all are our hands the best tools we have got. So, go and appreciate it!
Add a pinch of salt, the egg yolk and the water, just enough to make it really doughy. Wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge for about the time you need to prepare the rest.
Get yourself a decent quiche tin form or something like that, coating it with some oil.
Then take your lazy courgette and have a good look at it. Is it lovely? Do you like it? Whatsoever, it has to die. That is the way of the courgette anyway. Cut part of the courgette into slices. We want to put it on top of the quiche. So make careful calculations as to how many slice you might need. I did, but there was an error somehow. Three slices didn't fit on in the way I wanted it.
The remaining part of the courgette you grate into a bowl and mix it together with the cream, the three eggs, enough salt and pepper, and the finely chopped leaves of rosemary.
Now back to the dough. This lump of dough somehow has to be fitted into your tin form. You could try rolling it out and then ... or you might find another way. I did a mix of it. Judge for yourselves whether the result is satisfying.
As long as you have enough dough going up the sides of your form, things will be alright.
By now you should have your oven going at 200°C so that you can pre-bake your dough for 15 minutes.
Remove your pre-baked quiche from the oven and pour in the cream and courgette mixture and place those slices of courgette on top of it. Finally grate over your cheese and get your quiche back to the oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese gets colour.
Afterwards there is one challenge that remains. Removing the quiche from your form and get it on a plate in one piece. Then you can use your machete to cut the quiche into individual pieces and enjoy it with a simple salad on the side.
For a brief moment I was tempted to add some chili to the quiche filling. Sadly I didn't do it. Or maybe not sadly, but sure this would have given the whole thing an extra punch. Without the chili I was not 100% convinced. On the other hand some extra grated cheese in the cream mixture would have done the job as well. Yet, there might as well be the slight chance, that I did have too much chili in the past. Who knows!?
A good thing is, that courgettes are in season at the moment, although I did never succeed in having some in my own garden. Somehow, they don't like me, but I like them.
Therefore this post is also a fitting entry for the blog challenge Simple and in Season from Ren Behan and Fleur McCrone.

Toyota Land Cruiser Axle Upgrade - PurebredPosted in How To on February 1, 2007
It seems as though every time Toyota adds a new feature to its vehicles, it takes something else away. For instance, fuel injection became common on pickups and 4Runners in 1985, and then the next year Toyota replaced the solid front axle in these vehicles with independent front suspension (IFS). Similarly, when the 100 Series Land Cruiser replaced the 80 Series 'Cruiser in 1998, a powerful V8 engine was added, but the solid front axle was no longer available in the United States. Wishing to have the best of both worlds, Slee Off-Road recently combined the best Land Cruiser parts available throughout the years into one vehicle.
Slee has built many capable FZJ80s; however, they have typically been heavy and underpowered. Strongly believing that a solid-axle swap is easier to perform than an engine conversion, Slee began looking for a reasonably priced UZJ100. Soon thereafter, a damaged version of Toyota's latest Land Cruiser was purchased on eBay. These vehicles come with a stout drivetrain and sturdy frame, but the IFS lacks the strength and articulation necessary for serious rockcrawling. In overseas markets, you can buy a new Land Cruiser with solid axles and coil springs (the 105 Series), but these are not available with a V8 engine either. Slee used the same basic suspension design found on the 105 Series and earlier 80 Series Land Cruiser for its latest project. The new front suspension uses Slee 6-inch coil springs and prototype Slee shocks intended for an 80 Series. The coils and shocks are mounted using a combination of Toyota OEM parts and custom bracketry. Joe Risavi of Slee Off-Road did all of the design and fabrication necessary to clear 39-inch BFGoodrich Krawlers. A Slee adjustable Panhard rod and billet-steel control arms locate the axle and are also 80 Series components that Slee produces. Using off-the-shelf parts made the axle swap more economical and less complex than using a four-link and coilovers. The drawback, however, is that overall articulation will not match that of a four-link.
The suspension is connected to a custom front axle from Diamond Axles. An FJ80 front axle was considered; however, it is 5 inches narrower than the 100 Series rear axle. Additionally, the 8-inch ring gear found in the 80 Series front axle is only marginally strong enough for the weight and power of the UZJ100. Instead, Diamond Axles made a special housing to match the width of the stock rear axle and accept a rear third member from an 80 Series Land Cruiser. This third uses a 9-1/2-inch ring gear and considerably larger bearings than the 8-inch third member. Diamond makes custom axles in any width or differential offset, and with the outers the customer wants, and can accommodate any dropout third member from Suzuki Samurai to Toyota 4Runner to Ford 9-inch. The housings all use 3/8-inch-wall tubes and fully welded, CNC bent centersections with 1/2-inch-thick mounting flanges. For this project, 80 Series Land Cruiser knuckles, hubs and brakes, and Newfield chrome-moly Birfields are used in conjunction with custom-length 4130 chrome-moly inner axles from Diamond.
Steering duties are handled by an FZJ80 steering box added to the plated 100 Series frame. The 80 Series steering box utilizes a forward-facing pitman arm (like an International Scout) that provides additional clearance between the steering components during suspension compression. The box was drilled and tapped to power a PSC 8-inch-stroke hydraulic ram, and a PSC steering pump is mated to the engine with a PSC undersize pulley. A 0.250-inch-wall drag link connects the steering box to the axle with 3/4-inch PSC rod ends. A matching tie rod is connected to Slee high-steer arms and secured in double-shear mounts for added strength. The stock tie rod on an 80 Series Land Cruiser sits behind the axle and under the high-pinion differential, but that configuration was not possible with either the larger, low-pinion third member or the PSC hydraulic ram.
The stock rear suspension is a four-link with a Panhard bar, and it connects to a stout factory solid axle fitted with a 9-1/2-inch ring gear and 1.35-inch, 32-spline axleshafts. Aftermarket 5.29 gears were fitted to the stock Toyota E-locker rear differential. The factory axleshafts and disc-brake rotors were also redrilled from a 5x150mm wheel bolt pattern to 6x5.5-inch wheel bolt pattern to match the new front axle. Slee 6-inch-lift coils from the rear of an 80 Series were used to match the front lift height. The rear suspension also uses upgraded, high-strength Slee lower control arms in conjunction with a Slee adjustable Panhard bar. The lower shock mounts were raised to allow for additional clearance and shock travel.
After the suspension was completed, the rest of the truck was addressed. A full interior cage was crafted by T.J. Briscoe to keep the occupants safe in the luxury interior. The rear seats were removed and replaced with an African Outback drawer system and Engel fridge/freezer. The dented body was straightened and covered in factory Toyota Electric Blue paint. In order to protect the new paint, Slee rock sliders and bumpers were added all around. The front bumper houses a Warn M12000 winch, while the rear bumper holds a Hi-Lift jack and a fullsize spare.
After completion, Christo Slee drove the 7,300-pound 'Cruiser from Denver to Moab for the Toyota Land Cruiser Association's annual Cruise Moab event. Not only did the new suspension drive straight and true on the highway, but it gobbled up all obstacles that Hell's Revenge had to offer - and that includes optional obstacles like Hell's Gate.
Look for Slee and his big 'Cruiser on the trail as he continues to test his ultimate Land Cruiser. Or call him up to order your own ultimate Land Cruiser.

CARTWRIGHT, OK - A former high school football star from Denison is dead after a shooting early this morning in Bryan County, Oklahoma. Authorities say 19-year-old former All-State running back D.J. Jones was murdered.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says agents were called to the scene in the 200 block of Trout Lane around 6 a.m. 19-year-old Dresean Jaron Jones was shot and killed in downtown Cartwright. Agents and local law enforcement are currently searching for three people believed to be involved. Agents are on scene investigating a motive for the shooting.
Jones was among the star-studded Class of 2010 that led Denison to the Class 4A state semifinals in 2009. He signed with Texas A&M, but was arrested for theft before he got to College Station. Jones had been in and out of jail since his high school football career ended.
Texas A&M Head Coach Mike Sherman released this statement Friday afternoon on Jones' murder:
"I was notified this afternoon. He should be going to college and playing football somewhere. This is a tragic end to a talented young man's life. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this very difficult time."
D.J.'s mother said Friday her son was to enroll and play football this fall at Prairie View A&M University on an athletic scholarship.
The details surrounding Jones' death remain unclear.
A candlelight vigil is scheduled for Sunday, August 7th at 8:00 p.m. at Munson Stadium in Denison.

Light, airy vegan food is great and everything, but let's be real: sometimes you want something rich. Something that sticks to your bones. Something that is reminiscent of something loaded with dairy and eggs and stuff like that but without all the stuff like that. This soup TOTALLY fits the bill. Wild rice and vegetables in a creamy, thick cashew broth? Heck yes this soup sticks to your bones.
I waxed philosophical about how awesome wild rice is in this post, and while I enjoy eating wild rice in any number of ways, I adore wild rice in soup most of all. Wild rice soup is a classic here in the upper Midwest - it appears on restaurant menus all over the place. There are two main variations, one with a brothy base, and one with a creamy, milky thick base. Both include any combination of wild rice, onions, water chestnuts, almonds, carrots, celery, chicken. The cream based broth is the most common, which is unfortunate, because as delicious and rich as it is, it does not sit quite right with me. Finding broth-based wild rice soups out at restaurants is a little hard - the Loon Cafe in Minneapolis has a great one. For those of you that can handle heavy cream and might be coming through the Minneapolis area, Hell's Kitchen makes a breakfast porridge out of wild rice, cream, maple syrup, blueberries and cranberries, and hazelnuts. It is supposed to be completely and totally epic, my friend Peter swears by this porridge. I think the porridge is actually gluten-free (the restaurant is not), and the rest of their menu is also really nice.
Anyway, I decided I wanted a creamy wild rice soup. Something thick. Something rich. Something bone adhering. Rice milk wouldn't cut it, coconut milk was not the right flavor. So, I decided on cashews. Raw cashews, once soaked and blended, take on the most amazingly rich, creamy consistency. And once heated, the cashew cream actually thickens - amazing - just like dairy milk or cream. I've been wanting to try using cashews as a soup thickener for a while, so this was the perfect opportunity.
I'm totally impressed with this spontaneous soup adventure. I made it yesterday afternoon and ate it for dinner tonight; the flavors had time to meld and it was awesome. I used cooked wild rice that I cooked in advance in my rice cooker, rather than trying to cook it in the pot with the vegetables and all that. I think it just makes it easier than trying to time everything just right. So, make sure to leave time to soak and cook your rice, and soak your cashews, if you are going to try this recipe out. It is worth the pre-planning! I think that even your non-vegan friends and family will think it is awesome. Serve with a big salad and dig in. I ate my inaugural bowl with a salad of braised celery and water chestnuts over watercress, and it was awfully good.
yield: 6 servings
- 3 c cooked wild rice
- 2 c celery, sliced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 onion, finely diced
- 1 c celeriac, peeled and diced
- 1/4 c fresh parsley, minced
- 1 T dry tarragon
- optional: itty bitty dash of nutmeg
- sea salt or Herbamare to taste
- fresh cracked pepper to taste.
- 1-2 T extra virgin olive oil
- 6 c stock or water, plus additional if needed
- 1/2 c raw unsalted cashews
- 1/2 c water + water for soaking
- optional: diced mushrooms (I didn't add them, but they would be delicious!!!)
- optional: minced green onion and chopped cashews for garnish
In advance: Soak cashews in fresh water for 4-6 hours. Cashews will soften and start to sprout! You must soak them in order to get the right texture once blended.
In large stockpot, warm olive oil, Saute onion and celery until soft, add carrot and celeriac, and saute another few minutes until soft. Add 6 cups stock, and bring to boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Drain soaked cashews, then place in blender (narrow bowl if using immersion blender) with 1/2 c fresh water. Blend until completely smooth and thick.
Add 3 c cooked wild rice, tarragon, and cashew cream to the stock and vegetables. Simmer on low until vegetables are soft, approximately 45 minutes, stirring occassionally to prevent sticking, and adding more stock or water as necessary. Add fresh parsely, and salt and pepper to taste, and simmer another couple of minutes to flavor through. Soup will continue to thicken as it cools; thin with more water or broth as necessary.

Absolutely perfect for one of my uncircumcised partners. Every other condom we tried would not slide down their shaft completely or spring off almost right away! This one was instantly comfy and secure. Luckily I had one of these on hand and subsequently bought a whole pack of them after it worked out so well. I would very much recommend this for uncircumcised folks who are having trouble finding a good fit.

TSA assaults & traumatizes three-year-old girl in wheelchair
I wish I could say that this is a new low for the contemptible thugs in blue for whose equipment and "services" taxpayers pay billions of dollars every year.
Sadly, it isn't. It's just par for the course; another Day in Despotism here in the Land of the Meek, Home of the Afraid.
In case you couldn't bring yourself to watch this indisputable display of abuse — this disgusting mistreatment of a little girl and her family about which her mother and father comment "look at her all dressing like a potential terrorist/drug trafficker; people who roll in on hot pink wheelchairs, wearing a gingerbread coat and clutching a stuffed baby lamb, are just begging to be harassed" — let me itemize the violations and absurdities at hand (perhaps you can identify more; as a mother myself, I'm too upset by what I just watched to further research the laws, statutory and logical):
First, there is the obvious Fourth Amendment violation against unwarranted search and seizure. I don't care what kind of pretzel logic the TSA twists itself into parroting in order to justify groping a three-year-old in a wheelchair who's on her way to Disney World: it's a violation of her Constitutional rights. Period. Full stop.
And this should not stand. Not in the country that calls itself the United States of America. Citizens and residents who accept otherwise should not only be ashamed of themselves, but should, in my opinion, be constantly, and in strenuous terms, be made aware that they're engaging in a kind of treason against the very freedoms the nation's founders established (and countless fought for and died to protect), and thus, by extension, debasing the idea of America itself.
Second, travelers are indeed permitted to photograph and/or videotape the so-called "screening procedure" (more accurately, security theatre), including aggressive pat-downs that would be defined as sexual assault in any other context and nude photography of their bodies. The only subject matter exempt from passengers' freedom-to-document are the screening machines themselves. As shown in the above video, these TSA screeners try to claim otherwise and keep harping on their imagined rule that the passengers can't record the incident, even as the parents ask them to cite the actual law pertaining thereto.
Third, the tactics here are insensitive and unkind on their face, as well as pointless. Not only is this little girl so obviously terrified to the point of crying out loud, and desperately upset that her comfort toy — her stuffed animal — is being taken away, she is distraught that her parents' attempts to protect her are being summarily ignored. Imagine how frightening that must be. If indeed the child "alarmed," the screeners could have resolved the matter by allowing one of the cleared parents to carry her through the metal detector in their arms while they checked her wheelchair for hidden bombs, machetes, or fusilage-piercing grenade launchers.
What will it take for the American public to recognize how wrong this is, all of it, and demand that our so-called leaders put an end to it? Why are citizens not carrying out a full-on economic boycott of the airlines for all non-essential travel? What will it take, if not the unconstitutional persecution of a little child in a wheelchair?

It was by all accounts a momentous occasion. Harvey Weinstein loitered in the hallway. Seth Rogen politely acknowledged some overzealous fans with his trademark chuckle. Shailene Woodley, with a gaggle of girlfriends in tow, waited patiently out in the cold to be let inside. The stars were aligned for the world premiere of CELESTE AND JESSE FOREVER on Friday evening at the Sundance Film Festival's 1,270-seat Eccles Theater.
Directed by Lee Toland Krieger (THE VICIOUS KIND, Sundance '09), the film follows Celeste (Rashida Jones, who co-wrote the screenplay), a branding exec, and Jesse (Andy Samberg), an unemployed artist who, after a life-long friendship and six years of marriage, decide to split and see other people. Both parties, however, struggle to close the book on their storied past and start new, separate chapters in life.

The results are in. I'd like to say Thank You to everyone who took the time to fill out my survey on friendship.
You may view the full results at Wufoo.
My Thoughts
One reason I created this survey is because I've grown tired of hearing "You can never have too many friends, right?". It's always rubbed me the wrong way. Yes, I think you can too many friends.
If we assume the following:
- friendships require a minimum investment of time to maintain (which has always seemed evident to me)
- the time a person has available is finite
- friendships can weaken or even end if enough time is not invested
- one has too many friends when the time required to maintain ones friendships is greater than the time one has available to do so
A 68% majority of responses believed that friendships do require a minimal time investment. Interestingly, only 56% believed it's possible to have too many friends.
I also found it interesting that so many people stay friends after dating (40%) and after the end of a serious relationship (45%).
See anything interesting that I've missed?

I was all set to read this Mike Lupica column about Michael Phelps with the headline "Michael Phelps and Roger Federer join ranks of Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan as greatest in history of their sport" to see what Mikey had to say. Then I saw the picture. And then I read the first sentence.
There are always the sudden, dazzling stars like 16-year old Gabby Douglas, who won gold medals and hearts in London, who tried to win the whole Olympics at the same time, because somebody always does that, walks away not just with medals but the whole thing in the end.
Then, when the bolts in my brain stopped bouncing around, I stopped reading and looked back at the picture. Look at MJ and the Babe. So ashamed.
Maybe these guys all belong on the Mt. Rushmore of Sports or Whatever—it's an open debate. But this photoshop is unquestionably on the Mt. Rushmore of Terrible and Nonsensical Photoshops.

Iomega Adds BitTorrent Support to NAS
Iomega introduced the StorCenter ix2 last October, pledging that the NAS would be a platform as well as a storage unit, part of a way to differentiate the StorCenter from the dozens of rival products in the market. The new features will ship as part of the existing 1- and 2- terabyte StorCenter ix2s, but can be upgraded to by existing owners via an Iomega update.
The update adds five new features. Of the most interest to enthusiasts will be the native support for the BitTorrent protocol, which means that users can download torrent files without the need for a PC. This was a hot feature a couple of years ago, with Orb Networks, Netgear, and Asus and some lower-profile NAS products. It's not quite clear whether support will be built in for white- and black-listing IP addresses to prevent third-party snooping.
Remote-access capabilities will be free for the first year and $9.95 annually thereafter. With remote access, users can apply for a special Web address and use it as a Web-based FTP protocol for uploading and downloading files remotely. Users will be able to purchase custom URLs for an additional charge, Iomega said.
The last three enhancements are a bit more prosaic: folder quotas, to prevent Junior's movie collection from hogging the entire storage space; jumbo frames, a technology to help improve the speed of large file transfers; and Apple File Protocol support, for improved interaction with Apple OS X machines.
DLNA, uPNP, and Bluetooth support are already built in.
"With the simplest set-up process in the industry, the ix2 not only provides home and small business network storage users with such important features as media serving, Bluetooth and video surveillance capabilities, now we've added remote access so users can connect to their files from anywhere in the world, as well as the new standard in peer-to-peer file sharing and much more," said Jonathan Huberman, president of Iomega and the Consumer and Small Business Products Division of EMC, in a statement. "That's the power of network computing with Iomega and EMC."
The 1TB StorCenter ix2 Network Storage appliance is available worldwide for $299.95; the 2TB model is available for $479.95.Originally posted to Gearlog.

A Connecticut couple is facing charges in a child abuse case after investigators discovered that one used an electric dog collar to punish their daughter, according to police.
Eduardo and Paula Montanez, a husband and wife who live in Danbury, were arrested on Tuesday, five days after a Danbury school employee contacted the state Department of Children and Families regarding suspected child abuse.
A joint investigation by DCF and Danbury police revealed that Eduardo Montanez had used a PetSafe barking collar on his 9-year-old stepdaughter. Police said the couple was upset about the girl's progress report, so Montanez put the bark collar around her neck and forced her to bark so the collar would shock her.
Paula Montanez, the girl's mother, was reportedly present when it happened and did nothing to stop the abuse, police said.
According to police, the girl went back to school and told a teacher about her problems at home.
The victim told police the shock collar incident had only happened once, but marks on her neck indicated it might have occurred more often. She also told investigators the couple had beaten her several times but did not specify when the beatings took place, police said.
Eduardo Montanez, 43, was arrested and charged with third-degree assault, two counts of risk of injury to a minor and cruelty to a person. He was in court on Wednesday and the judge set bond at $250,000 bond.
The case is sealed. His defense attorney said there's substantial evidence that the girl is fabricating the abuse allegations for attention and that the sealed warrant alleges there is a U-shaped bruise on the girl's neck.
Paula Montanez, 34, was charged with two counts of risk of injury to a minor, conspiracy to commit third-degree assault and conspiracy to commit cruelty to a person. Her bond was set at $200,000.
Police said there were no young children in the home.
The couple does not have a prior criminal record in Connecticut but has lived elsewhere. Police haven't said if the couple has been arrested out of state.
The 9-year-old victim is in state custody, police said.If Paula Montanez makes bail, there is a "no contact" order for her three minor children.

We've been fascinated by the fashions in Downton Abbey since Season One. KCTS 9's Hilda Cullen writes about the luscious vintage fashions that inspired Downton Abbey's designers:
Fashion bloggers have been calling it the "Downton Abbey Effect," and it's been springing up everywhere, from designer Tadashi Shoji's Fall 2012 evening gown collection, to the New York Fashion Week runway show that Ralph Lauren hosted this fall at Highclere Castle, the real Downton Abbey.
But just as Downton Abbey is inspiring the real fashion world, there's a mirror effect—the costumes in all three seasons of Downton Abbey have been inspired by, and in some cases are, the real thing—vintage clothing, accessories and jewelry from the Edwardian and 1920s eras.
Ah, those Edwardians
Downton Abbey Season One opens in April, 1912. The Victorian era was over; Edward VII and his Queen Alexandra had greatly influenced the world of style in La Belle Époque, the 'beautiful era' dating approximately from 1890 to 1914, described as the last true age of elegance. The birth of Art Nouveau led to flowing, organic lines and sinuous curves, and the formality and fussiness of the Victorian era has softened . . . there's a new, gentler silhouette. Fabrics are natural—wools, silks, linens, cottons—and embellished with lace, braiding, and ribbons. The Crawley women are frequently seen wearing the delicate lavalieres and brooches that were then popular. Hats are frivolous and fetching, with wide brims or brims that frame the face, embellishments of feathers and flowers, and veils providing a touch of mystery. The clothes feel good, trimmed richly with delicate lace or exquisitely worked hand embroidery.

In this photo of the three Crawley sisters, Sybil's dress is an original Edwardian summer dress, Mary's striped dress was made for her, and Edith's was rented (recycled from Merchant/Ivory's Room with a View), according to costume designer Susannah Buxton.
For more examples of Edwardian style, the experts from PBS's new show Market Warriors have pinned some beautiful examples of Edwardian fashion here.
Wartime brings change
In Season Two's wartime era, clothing becomes, of necessity, more practical. Upstairs, everyone still dresses in formal attire for dinner, but daytime clothing is simpler, tailored and made to move more easily. There's a shift away from the more heavily corseted, stiff figures to a slimmer shape, with a looser fit and shorter, slightly flared skirts. Three-quarter length coats, worn single breasted with a small collar, were popular, worn with an A-line, mid-calf skirt and a fitted blouse. There are fewer jewels, less lace, and fewer hats (notwithstanding Sir Richard Carlisle's fedora, although I do covet Lady Mary's asymmetrical burgundy hat).
(Downton Abbey Season Two, Courtesy of (C) Carnival Film & Television Limited 2011 for MASTERPIECE. Seasons one and two are available on DVD and Blu-ray on ShopPBS.)
It was harder to find good cloth during the war. Hemlines have begun to rise, and are now shown about six inches from the ground. "The only good thing to come out of the First World War was women's ankles," said Buxton in a 2011 Telegraph interview.
(Downton Abbey Season Two, Courtesy of (C) Carnival Film & Television Limited 2011 for MASTERPIECE. Seasons one and two are available on DVD and Blu-ray on ShopPBS.)
In one example of old meets new, Lady Mary's evening gown below was made from a turn-of-the-century Spanish dress, re-designed with pleated silk chiffon and embroidered lace laid over a satin underdress.

Note the Bohemian garnet necklace – garnets were thought to have curative powers and these antique jewels may still be found today in antique malls and vintage shops.

Elizabeth McGovern (who plays Countess Cora) and Michelle Dockery (who plays Lady Mary) discuss the evolving fashions in this PBS video.
"Where's the style, Mrs. Hughes . . . Where's the show?" – Mr. Carson the Butler
Season Three begins in 1920. Art deco is in, and the styles are stunning. The war is over and luxuries are once again available – the Crawley women (with the exception of the Dowager Countess, who still clings to her high collars, mourning jewelry and Victorian embellishments) dress in the height of fashion. Hemlines are up even more, waistlines drop, and evening gowns sparkle and shimmer with beading and embroidery.
Real life examples of 1920s fashion may still be found in vintage clothing stores, although fabrics (considering their age) are delicate and the clothes may not be wearable. The crème de la crème of 1920s styling may still be seen, however, at places like the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute or the Victoria and Albert Museum, where I found this fabulous beaded and embellished art deco dress.

The dress is Chanel, circa about 1922. It is hand-sewn silk georgette, hand-embroidered with glass beads and gold thread. On her honeymoon in Europe, a woman of Mary's social standing would have certainly visited designers like the Houses of Chanel and Worth.
She might have purchased something like the Worth gown below.
(Image courtesy of the Victoria and Albert Museum.)
This long evening dress of printed aquamarine chiffon is attributed to Jean-Charles Worth, circa around 1928. Jean-Charles was the great-grandson of Charles Frederick Worth, a British designer who relocated to Paris and became celebrated as the father of haute couture. The House of Worth was much in favor with wealthy Americans, who would travel to Paris to be outfitted there, at great expense. This pattern is inspired by Oriental designs and outlined in iridescent sequins in a sunburst pattern.
When the Ballets Russes performed "Scheherazade" (they danced in Paris in 1910, and London in 1911), they started a new craze for Orientalism. Couturier Paul Poiret, who trained at the House of Worth, was greatly influenced by Ballet Russe designer Leon Bakst's daring colors and revealing costumes. Poiret brought out a collection with "jupe-culottes" and trousers for women. Sybil's blue chiffon bloomers in Season Two are an example of this style, as are the kimono-style robes worn by Lady Mary and Lady Edith in Season Three's tragic episode four, below.

The exoticism of the Ballet Russes influence continues throughout the 1920s. The use of glowing satin fabrics, patterned burnt velvet, tassels, fringes, beading and sequins created some of the most glamorous evening wear ever seen. And the accessories! The shoes and handbags of the 1920s are possibly the prettiest of any period in modern history. The shoes in the image below are representative of the charm of the twenties.

We'll close with a look at the Crawley family tiara, one final example of a real object serving the purposes of art.

Both Lady Mary and Lady Edith wear this beautiful garland of leaves and floral clusters as brides (although Edith ends up flinging it over the banisters, hardly the way to treat a family heirloom). The tiara is pavé set with old-cut diamonds, and it can be converted to two brooches, for versatility. It's a real Georgian piece of jewelry, circa 1830. The 45-carat diamond wedding tiara, with its flower and vine motif, was borrowed from British jewelers Bentley and Skinner, "jewelers to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness, Prince of Wales" according to their website (which also features a soundtrack of Marilyn Monroe singing "Diamonds are a girl's best friend"). It's valued at £125,000 (around $200,000).
Season Three costume designer Caroline McCall used tiny rice pearls and Swarovski crystals on Mary's gown, infusing the lace with a delicate silver thread to create a subtle iridescence for the most expensive Downton Abbey costume ever made. "My goal was to make her look really ethereal and romantic," said McCall in an Elle UK interview. The wedding costume took eight weeks to create.
Today, designers continue to be fascinated and inspired by the flair, craftsmanship, and grace of the Edwardian and Art Deco eras. We can't wait to see all the new fashions that echo the "Downton Abbey Effect" this spring. Dancing shoes, anyone?

Female Fat Loss Over Forty
I am a super fit trainer and business owner. I run an off line business: http://www.CalgaryNWBootCamp.com
I am an up and coming internet marketer with my first ebook on line. It can be viewed at http://www.FemaleFatLossOver40.com
I have an active blog here: http://www.FemaleFatLossOverForty.com/blog
If you visit these sites, you'll get a really good idea of who I am and what I do.
In case you need more:
-I'm a super fit 47 year old woman
-I advocate healthy living, healthy eating and exercise
-I'm a 'no gimmicky' kind of person
-I believe in honesty and truth in helping my clients meet their fitness and fat loss goals
-I live by example and provide a ton of free content on my blog for fitness and fat loss
-I want a sexy, but not too trashy look of a woman that is fit. Remember that my initial audience is over 40 (I'm not going for a look that is too pimped out, but respectful of women)
My audience is women over 40, but my vision is to have a greater audience in time. My first ebook is 'female fat loss over 40' , but I envision just 'female fat loss' so that I can target women of all ages. I've purchased 'female fat loss solutions' and can see myself headed in that direction.
So I guess I"m saying that I don't necessarily want '40' in the logo.
I need a logo that I can add to the title of my ebook, banner on the sales page, blog, biz cards etc and anywhere else I can put it.
I would like it to stand out, obviously. As I said, I want it to look a little sexy, but not trashy as that doesn't appeal to my demographic.
I like the following logos of friends products:
curvy woman: http://www.swatfitness.com/curvywom…rkout.html
boardroom babe:
I know these reach a different demographic, but I want something simple (be a boardroom babe may be a bit much, but I like that it's sexy but sophisticated.

A How-to Primer on Paints
1. Acrylic
This is a good paint for most scrapbooking applications. Here's what you need to know:
* This paint can be used on porous and non-porous surfaces. It will dry on paper, transparencies, acrylic, metal and more.
* Acrylic paint is available in a wide range of colors. While a matte finish is standard, satin, glitter and other finishes are often available.
* Cost is low and the paint is easy to find at craft and hobby stores.
* Acrylic paints are water-soluble. You can apply them as-is for an opaque covering or mix them with water for a thinner, more translucent application.
Try this:
* Use a foam brush or a cotton swab to apply acrylic paint to the edges of your page and various elements. You can even apply it to the edges of your photos (but avoid applying to originals).
* Stamp with it. Apply the paint evenly on the stamp with a brush, then stamp on your page or card. Tip: Clean off your stamp before the paint dries!
* Use the paint to create a spot for your journaling on a transparency or an acrylic album page. Brush a light-colored paint on the desired area. Let it dry completely, then write directly on the dried paint.
2. Watercolor
Let your creativity shine with this fun paint. Here's what you need to know:
* Watercolor paint works best on thicker paper like heavy cardstock or watercolor paper. The wet nature of watercolor paints may warp thinner papers.
* The paint is available in tubes, dry cakes and as watercolor pencils.
* Color intensity and drying time can vary based on the amount of water mixed with the paint.
* Use of a heat gun can speed drying time.
Try this:
* Tear the edges of a page or journaling block and apply the paint to the raw edge with a paintbrush.
* Paint your own background design using a piece of white watercolor paper or thick cardstock. Use a wide brush and apply a color wash. Vary the amount of paint and water you use to create a gradient look.
* Create a cool resist effect. Heat-emboss a stamped image with clear embossing powder, then paint over it. The embossed areas will "resist" the paint.
3. Specialty Paints
Paint comes in an amazing palette of types. For the best results, be sure to read manufacturer guidelines and gather specific information about each product. Here are a few of our favorites:
Fabric Paint
* Fabric paint comes in so many fabulous finishes! Look for puffy paint, glitter paints, pearlescent finishes and more.
* Use a heat gun on paints that require heat setting. Be careful not to overheat or burn the paint.
Enamel Paint
* Enamel paint adds a high-gloss finish and works great on non-porous surfaces. It comes in brush-on and aerosol formulas.
* Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area and let the paint air dry. Do not use a heat gun with this type of paint.
Texture Paint
* Apply a texture paste before painting to create depth and add rich, textural appeal. Use tools like paint combs for even more fun effects.
* Create specialty finishes with textured spray paints that mimic stone, mirror, pearl, webbing and more.

I'm trying to put together a batch file to run a large number of .sql files without doing so individually.
So far I have:
@echo off
echo "Enter Server"
set /p SERVER=
echo "Enter Database"
set /p DATABASE=
del *.log
for /r %%i in (*.sql) do sqlcmd -E -S %SERVER% -d %DATABASE% -i"%%i" -m0 -o"%%i.log" -w500
This works as far as it goes.
However what I really want to do is route any errors to a separate .err file, so that it is very clear at a glance which of the (100+) files failed.
I saw the
:Error parameter, but I'm not sure how to apply it here.
Is there an easy way to acheive this?

From Paul Vercammen, CNN
(CNN) — The death toll in a Southern California tour bus crash is expected to rise Monday as authorities try to get to bodies still inside the bus, authorities said.
At least eight people were killed in the Sunday crash.
"It's a horrific scene," California Highway Patrol spokesman Mario Lopez said. "Probably one of the worst ones I have seen in my career. There are victims inside the bus, outside the bus, personal belongings [everywhere]."
A coroner is trying to identify the victims' bodies.
The bus rear-ended a sedan in San Bernardino County, east of Los Angeles, around 6:30 p.m. local time. The crash happened in a mountainous area of State Route 38, between Mentone and Forest Falls, San Bernardino Fire Department spokesman Eric Sherwin said.
At least 42 people were injured. Some injuries were minor, and some were severe, he said. The National Transportation Safety Board has sent a team to investigate.
The top of the bus over the driver's seat was caved in, and part of the roof was ripped open. The bus driver is being questioned, Lopez said.
A parade of ambulances snaked down a narrow, sloping highway Sunday night. The highway was reduced to one lane for both inbound and outbound ambulances, which had to contend with a downhill grade and winding roads.
The cause of the crash is unclear.
Witnesses said that they saw smoke coming from the back of the bus and that it was going very fast, said Michelle Profant, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Transportation.
"I heard that the driver, when interviewed by the CHP, indicated that he had problems with his brakes, but nothing has been proven so far," she said.
The tour company is Scapadas Magicas of National City, California, Lopez said. The company did not immediately return a request for comment early Monday.
Federal safety records indicate Scapadas Magicas had no reported crashes in the past two-year reporting period. The company received a "satisfactory" rating in a safety review last month.

China reports 4 more human cases of unusual strain of bird flu
By Jethro Mullen
HONG KONG (CNN) — Four more people in China have fallen ill from a strain of avian flu not previously detected in humans, the Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua reported, as authorities ramped up efforts to monitor the virus.
The four latest victims, from four different cities in the east coast province of Jiangsu, are in a critical condition and receiving emergency treatment, the provincial health bureau said Tuesday, according to Xinhua.
The disclosure of new infections comes only days after authorities announced the first three known cases of humans infected with the H7N9 bird flu virus on Sunday, two of whom died.
The two men who died lived in Shanghai, which is next to Jiangsu. The other early victim, a woman who is in a critical condition, is from nearby Anhui province.
Chinese authorities are trying to find the source of the human infections. They have so far said there are no signs of transmission of the H7N9 virus between any of the victims or people they have come into close contact with, suggesting the virus isn't highly contagious among humans.
They have also dismissed suggestions linking the infections with the discovery of thousands of pig carcasses from the Huangpu River that runs through Shanghai.
The Shanghai Animal Disease Prevention and Control Center on Monday tested 34 samples of pig carcasses pulled from the river and found no bird flu viruses, Xinhua reported.
The four latest cases are a 45-year-old woman from Nanjing, a 48-year-old woman from Suqian, an 83-year-old man from Suzhou, and a 32-year-old woman from Wuxi, the provincial health bureau said.
The Nanjing woman worked culling poultry, it said.
Malik Peiris, a professor at Hong Kong University's School of Public Health, said Monday that the H7N9 strain of avian flu, already known to exist in wild birds, had probably been transmitted to poultry, from where it infected the humans.
"It's really important to understand where this virus is coming from," he said.
Authorities in Shanghai are gathering daily data on cases of pneumonia resulting from unknown causes and will set up a team of experts to assess the "severity and risk" of H7N9, Xinhua reported Tuesday.
Since the transmission of these types of virus from animals to humans is usually "extremely inefficient," there are often tens of thousands of infected birds for every human case, according to Peiris.
As a result, "it is very likely that there is a quite widespread outbreak happening" among the animals from which it came, he said, underscoring the urgent need to track down the source.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said Monday it was "in contact with the national authorities and is following the event closely."
Because there are so few cases of H7N9 detected so far, little research has been carried out on it, according to Xinhua. There are no known vaccines against this virus, it said.
But Peiris said it was likely that existing anti-flu drugs, such as Tamiflu, are likely to work against the H7N9 strain. He also noted that the WHO has identified the H7 virus family as a potential threat and earmarked possible vaccine candidates.
He said other strains from the H7 family had caused previous outbreaks in poultry in countries including the Netherlands, Britain, Canada, the United States and Mexico. Human infection was documented in all of those cases except the Mexican one.
The outbreak of the H7N7 strain in the Netherlands in 2003 infected 89 people, one of whom died, according to Peiris.
The better known H5N1 avian flu virus has infected more than 600 people since 2003, of which 371 have died, according to the WHO.
In February, China reported two new human cases of H5N1 in the southern province of Guizhou, both of whom were in a critical condition, the WHO said.
A spike in H5N1 deaths, many of them children, has been reported in Cambodia, prompting concern among health authorities.

UVS Junction is launching a website development platform that will combine ease of use for the provider with the look and functionality of a "masters skill" site.
According to a press release, the new platform gives clients the ability to build and customize a home page in minutes as modules are easily sized, added, deleted and navigated. Pre-loaded modules use a simple "drag-and-drop logic," giving dealers the opportunity to showcase floorplans, maps and all the information that is relevant to their location.
UVS will launch the new product with at least five templates that can be "variated hundreds of ways," according to UVS Junction Director Angie Cellucci, adding, "Or, the client can build their site from scratch, and even then, minimum skills are required. No less than one new module will be released on a monthly basis."
With the launch, UVS will feature a floorplan carousel module. Cellucci noted that existing UVS clients will have to upgrade to this new platform while new clients will automatically have it delivered with their new site. Development will start within the next 60 days for existing client upgrades.
