Newcastle United put in a solid display at Stamford Bridge last Saturday, and there seemed to be few complaints from the Newcastle faithful, following two terrible displays against Derby and Wigan.
Sam Allardyce – solid performance on Wednesday night could get us all 3 points
But we're certainly not going to maximize our points, if we keep giving our worst performances of the season against the worst teams. We played badly in those games but also against Derby away and Reading away, where we should have easily picked up maximum points.
Consistency is the goal for the Newcastle players and we mustn't slip into those insipid displays we gave over Christmas.
Sam talked to the Newcastle World TV this morning:
"There were a lot of positives and we have to take them into what is a crucial, crucial game against Man City," "Every player can take something from the game but now they have to make sure they keep to that level and not dip below it.â€
"We have been robbed of a point by what was a blatant offside and I think the officials are the only people in the stadium who haven't seen it.†"Before that we had long periods of attacking play and could've got a winner had the ball fallen to our players at the right time – as it did with Chelsea for both their goals.â€
"But we have to get on with things and we have two big games coming up starting with Man City.†"I want the players to find a level of consistency because we've already shown what we can do this season."
We could have even won that game at Chelsea with a little more luck, so it was a heartening performance, that's for sure. But we now have to make St. James' Park a fortress again, where we can hopefully pick up wins.
It's a great chance for us on Wednesday because Manchester City are not a good away side, and we must attempt to get all 3 points with an attacking display. Nothing less than that will be good enough on Wednesday night.
What do you think?
Comments and opinions are always very welcome.

i think we could get the 3 points, but only if big sam plays 442.

with duff,owen, roz,butt,harper on bench.
hes got to go for the win, especially now and at home, anything other will send the toon army crazy.
but knowing big sam hel prob play
beye taylor cacapa nzogbia
milner butt smith duff
and we will get beat
Thoroughly expect a win:
Man City: Terrible away record and have recently lost their mojo when playing at home – maybe also knocking their confidence.
Will we actually win?
From recent performances – 3 shots at goal will represent an big improvement. You never know we might just score from one. It may even be better than that – in which case I'd find it difficult to contain my excitement.
I fear expectations and reality to be at odds yet again. Go on Sam prove me wrong !!!!
Everyone's crying out for us to play a 4-4-2 for once and really have a go the opposition.
This game is a MUST for Sam to do that.
I'll be backing the team (and Sam for that matter) 100%.
I just sincerely hope that not only do we win, but we start fresh in 2008 with a sensible formation and a sensible line-up, i.e with players in their best suited positions.
Failing the above, any signs of improvement much welcome.
Howay the lads.
"few complaints from the Newcastle faithful"
Ed – do you even read your own article responses!?!? You really need to wake up and start posting some more neutral articles!!
The Chelsea game was an improvement, but his tactics and out-of-place players were sh!te AGAIN!! If Sam doesnt start bucking his ideas up immediately, then I think the Chairman might just have to reconsider his thoughts on Sam's position…..we have some big games coming up and I can feasibly see us dropping to 14th/15th if results dont go our way…..and trust me, the fans wont take long to let the chairman know how they feel when that happens!
Still, Sam could make all this go away by playing 'normal' football! We are at hom to Man City so we need to go out and attack them:
Beye Faye Cacapa Enrique
Milner Butt Emre Duff/Zog
Owen/Martins Viduka
Prove me wrong Sam….PLEASE!!!
Carl – I can follow your team but got 2 comments on it:
1. Enrique is not a player I rate that high, so for now Zog as LB and Duff as left winger.
2. SA doens't support flair players like Emre, so he will be on the bench and Butt in his position.
So your 2nd team as SA will play will once again be not balanced enought to give us the 3 points. Hopefully if we loose (which I really hope not) he gets the sack, cause things need to change quicklyor we are going to have a relegation battle in April – May.
I don't just want a result on Wednesday, I want to be entertained. I want my money's worth. I want to see us playing attractive football.
Mort has came out today laughing off speculation regarding Big Sam's future – I wonder how much a difference a defeat tomorrow will change that, if we do get beat, I feat it could become ugly.
This bloggs also on citys websites ,not to sound to patronising but this is a game we should win ,as daft as this sounds we have been quite lucky at home and very unlucky away.I have watched Newcastle many times this season and went to the game at eastlands,and this is not what you expect from a geordie team ,big sams trying to do a Bolton thats all he knows,and this will cost him his job.You cant tell me the fans will put up with this kind of football ,sorry but your team is very beatable home and away and as a neutral you should be scared of st james park under big sam at present every team fancies their chances look at Derby .
Obafan , you must get to watch the training sessions with sam to make that judgement on enrique?
ive not seen the lad do to much wrong in games , zoggys probably made more defensive mistakes this season , no?
jose certainly hasnt done enough wrong on the pitch to not be in the squad letting zoggy push up, surely?
i mean we've had rozy let goals go in plenty of times and he still gets his game (i hope he comes good btw).
baffles me this enrique thing , really love to know what the hell's going on .
Craig, I think the papers and making their own headlines again – Mort cam out and basically said that he ignores all the rumours and rubbished being linked with a certain new manager (Shearer) – he specifically said that he wasnt looking for change in that context, but not about any other different manager coming in….so we'll see what he says should results (and performances) not go our way over the next 2 or 3 matches!
"All this makes me laugh and I find all this speculation tedious. There is a different name every week and there is just no truth in it.â€
My apologies, the specific name which the quote was taken in context of was Martin Jol, rather than Shearer.
Anyway, on another matter, Allardyce is 4/6 to be sacked by the end of the season and 5/6 to be the next Premiership manager sacked….and the bookies dont often give their money away!!
well win on wednesday
beye cacapa taylor enrique
duff faye emre zog
viduka martins
this is the team we should play in my opinion emre attacking mid faye dmf
however i think sam will play this team
beye cacapa taylor zog
milner butt faye duff
smith martins
witch is the wrong way to go about it at home but thats what i think hell play hope he proves me wrong
baye taylor cacapa zog
those long balls of his got us some assists for goals if i remember , he's a young lad in a new place trying to impress the manager, im guessing he's doing exactly what he's been told todo when he knocks those long balls up the field .
i just feel zoggy gets caught out at lb aswell , and if were going tobe caught out there regardless , id rather zoggy be allowed to move up to the middle of the park .
sam has no chance of cash in jan at this rate , he's not even used his most expensive signing , second most expensive one is in jail, and the third gets played out of position and is a goalless striker 🙁
agree hadrian, lets face it, big sam aint going to give enrique a game away unless were infront by a few. so id love to see him play wednesday, as yes he knock the ball upfield at times, but his defending is better than zogs, also hes long balls are pretty acurate and maybe he just does need to adopt to the pace. but playing zog in left mid makes so much more difference.i hope we just attack,attack,attack
Or alternatively Duff as a LB and Zog as an atacking LM, I think it would work.
We really should beat MC even if just working on law of luck and averages and Oba cannot keep missing or failing to score.
I would put money on Owen starting probably with Viduka. (not my choice just a hunch).
And what are my New Year wishes, apart of course from World peace, the end of Faminine and despair etc.
We are unlikely to get a top six finish ( although I am still mildy hopefull) so the FA Cup is my first wish.
My next is for the following players to come to the Toon (in order of preference) and I will use a smiley or sad face to denote my expectations.
Junhinho, the supreme dead ball man and possibly the most creative and energetic MF player in the world. 10/20m. 🙁 if he leaves Lyon will go to somewhere much bigger.
Heitinga, the best all purpose defender in Europe and can play anywhere at back and is great at sweeping up and covering mistakes and frailties of his teammates. 10m 🙁 I understand someone is already got him precontract.
Crouch, he is the best English all round striker at present imo. More than a target man and gives a lot of options in attack. 🙂 for the right offer we could probably get him. 🙁 Benitez says he wants 40m for him (tongue in cheek, but!!)
Arshaving, must admit that I can't remember seeing him play but is getting such glowing reorts on this blog has to be worth a punt. 🙂 actually seems to want to come to us.
Berbatov, could have been number one choice but for the fact we are not going to get him, probably going to ManU in Summer. 🙁
Modric, only saw him in the England game but he really impressed. 🙁 🙁 will go to bigger club in Summer.
Cambiasso, have seen him in several of the Italian league games recently and imo is the unsung hero of Inter. The workhorse who makes them tick, which every team needs.
Have no idea whether we could get him, I would think very doubtfull, would you leave Inter to come to us. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Just a few ideas I am sure there will be many who disagree with my choices but hey we probably will not get any new good players so its just a dream anyway and I like to try and start the New Year with optimism.
So happy new Year to all my fellow bloggers from the one and only real Bill F. 🙂 🙂
the enrique things is funny, but his defending has been better than the zogs.
he was awesome up against arteta one of the best wingers in the league.
he might hump the ball up the pitch a lot but that just says more about fat sam then him.
enrique longs balls have actually been passes into space rather than cacapa/roz teeing up the opo ch for a free header, martins scored from mone pass didnt he ???
if one of spains most exciting attacking full backs who when i saw him was all pass and move for villareal – he took real madrid too pieces in one of his first games, is resorting to long balls dont you think maybe thats sams tactics showing through ???
it is reported this morning that ramos and his bosses have agreed to let berbatov go in january??? all i know is that berbatov was/is a toon fan , and shearer is a legend to him. i think he would come as in one report he says he is willing to go to a club that matches his ambitions? well that certainly doesnt rule us geordies out
Tom Toon. lets clarify something, you are not a scout, you are a fan just like everyone else on here. You do not know who is realistic, it is just your opinion. I dont feel half the players you name are realistic targets but i dont say it to you every time you post. Stop thinking you know it all. I seriously doubt half the players you name you have actually seen play…in real life, and i still believe you to be a football manager player regardless of what you say
I'd like to see:
Beye, Cacapa, Taylor (though he's been shaky), Enrique
Milner, Faye, Enrique, Duff/Zog (as sub)
Viduka, Martins/Owen
I think Duff has lost some pace but he's a smarter passer and worker of the ball these days.
Enrique has that potential too. I don't know, but I think he plays a slower, more thoughtful Spanish style, which is good–playing along the ground instead of lumping useless long balls.
With Duff, Enrique and Emre, we've got better passing and service for the forwards (who've been starved for good balls) (which sounds rather pornographic).
What are people's opinions on Taylor vs. Rozenhal? I know Taylor's a local lad, but I'm not convinced by him lately. Rozenhal's been shaky too, though, hasn't he? Have we got another option at center back? I'm drawing a blank.
I think Faye was great on Saturday. Sit Butt, Smith and Geremi. Faye was better than all of them. If Faye gets tired, put Butt in for him.
I also feel like Smith and Geremi are utility players, not starters, (let alone captains). Can anybody really make a case for Smith, other than effort?
I mean, it's nice that he's got a mohawk to supply our requisite dumb football hairdo, but other than that what does he really bring?
And Milner? Stop the fecking dance-floor heroics, mate. You're not John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever and there's no bloody Beegees soundtrack. Pass the ball quickly and well, lad. When you're isolated, take the man on, but don't try to dribble round the whole fecking midfield. Same for you Zogs.
my team to beat man city
neville terry nesta carlos
ronaldo kaka gerrard ronaldinho
berbatov rooney
No more unrealistic than the previous shite ive just read ,why would Berbatov come up here if hes got ambition, lets be realistic this season is about gelling and hopefully mid table we are not an attractive proposition yet for the bigger players, we should of gone for Erikkson or another big name coach to attract these players thats why were losing out on our main targets ,theres no appeal here for them,big sams the worst thing to happen to us since Gullet.
Mark, I don't think he is as old as that, I thought he was in his mid twenties. If he is then obviously the price would be lower and also would make him more of a possibility. His quality is such that I doubt if Lyon would let him go cheaply and think a 10m+ price tag is realistic whatever his age. You would get more from him than a certain 17m signing I am not going to name but I think we all know who I mean.
A win is possible – if Derby/wigan can defy the odds against us, there is no reason we cant turn the formbook on its head against Man City
Isnt this depressing though ? Hoping for a win, at home, against a fairly average and declining team.
I wrote the other week that the match against Derby, was perfectly teed up for us to show the world what it really meant to be a Newcastle player , and a Newcastle supporter – if we couldnt do it then, I see no reason why we should be able to do it on Wednesday.
Big Sam needs his goolies felt, to start delivering what his adoring public are demanding… change of plan Sam….
Man City – awful away record. Look who we have lost to. Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Blackburn.
Drawn with Portsmouth, Fulham, Villa, Wigan. Won at West Ham, Bolton. Yeah, suppose that's pretty bad, but Chelsea apart, all the defeats have been by a single goal. Oh yes, we are unbeaten at home in the league.
The game against Man City is the real acid test of the success, progress or otherwise of the Big Sam era. Remember that SJE was mooted by some enlightened voices as a replacement for Roader, indeed even his agent said he would be interested, but the toon job was a done deal by then.
This game should finally give lie to the old chestnut of 'give Sam time', both managers have had the same time with the same underperforming material. Man City were able to subsidise their sensible acquisitions by taking a broom to the rubbish – and selling some it at an extortionate price to sucker clubs like NUFC who still seem utterly incapable of spending large sums of money wisely.
If NUFC lose this game there are surely no more excuses for the reluctant chairman and ostrich owner to persevere with BSA or his hard man assistant. Man City are poor away, despite their elevated league position, and if they are allowed to reverse this trend at the expense of NUFC then what more proof will be needed?
It would be nice to win at Stoke, just to have something to look forward to in the dark winter days. It would be great game for a new manager to take over as we are doubtless going to get a hammering at Man Utd whoever is in control.
Business decisions are always hard, and burying one's head in the sand tends not to make for an informed one. If Man City win and BSA remains in control then we should be demanding the chairman's head on a platter instead; wherever that head may be currently buried.
The fact we have had so many managers is simple, we tend to make very poor appointments that become all too obvious fairly quickly – with one or two notable exceptions such as Sir Bobby. BSA is not one of these exceptions, he is a plodder and the longer we hang on the further away the heady days of top 4 football become.
And unless we believe we are a top 4 club, we will never be that again.
Wakey, wakey!!

Urdaibai emerges from the morning mists revealing one of the most beautiful natural areas of the northern Spanish coast . Forests that fall down to the sea , cliffs guarding the brave thundering waves and endless beaches where time stands still. Marshes and villages decorating a dreamy place where summer blends immense sunlight with the transparency of the water and the intense blue of the sky .
Urdaibai, a biosphere reserve since 1993 , in all its splendour and all the magic of this beautiful estuary combined.
The sweet waters of the river Oka flow down the estuary to meet the salt marshes of the Cantabrian Sea . The result could not be otherwise : an extraordinary natural area from Mundaka to Gernika , along both sides of the Estuary,provides a refuge for the largest group of waterfowl in the northern peninsula and painting a picture full of natural beauty of forests and mountains bordering with wild seas and spectacular cliffs.
Gernika serves as a point of departure for a route that is born within this beautiful environment. Its surroundings are full of small villages where agricultural resources provide our daily subsistence. The town of Gernika with the old oak tree , symbol of brotherhood , order and freedom of a people anxious to achieve their own identity in peace with all the Hispanic people . Samples of the history and monuments of the village are the church of Santa Maria, the Palace of the Alegria , the Old Manor Hospital , the Convent of Santa Clara , and of course the Tree and the Building. Gernika Udetxea also houses the Palace which is now the seat of the Board of the Biosphere Reserve .
Leaving Gernika , we approach pre-historical times at Santimamiñe by visiting caves with rock paintings showing a good reflection of the wildlife ( bison , bears, ... ) and a way of life of early man in these parts.
On the western side of the river, towns like Busturia , Sukarrieta and Mundaka . all attest to the presence of man from early times in the environment. Off the coast of Sukarrieta , the immortal Txatxarramendi Island hosts the Oceanographic Institute of the Basque Government .
Meanwhile Mundaka is situated at the mouth of the river welcoming us with its seafaring atmosphere . This is a coastal tourism center and water sports paradise bar none and also has within its confines the Parish Church of St. Mary , 17th century , the Calvary of Kurtzio, a seventeenth -century Renaissance building and the Palace of Larrinaga .
Even further north we find Bermeo , near the Cape of Matxitxako and facing equally the mouth of the estuary as well as to the open sea. A wealth of interesting historical monuments: The Arc of San Juan , the hermitages of San Miguel and Demínigus , Almike churches , Kurtzio , Santa Eufemia or Mañu , and the Tarasca monument , together with the museum of the fisherman, the Aritxatxu Beach and the Izaro Island, all sites of undoubted interest for the visitor and of course Bermeo has a rich variety of cuisine worthy of the best palates .
Across the river lies ahead Kanala Burritxagana , and the most beautiful forest of Oma, an improvised and natural canvas by the painter Agustín Ibarrola . Further North we reach the coast again and the fascinating old port of Elantxobe and Ogoño.
Explore a mixture of wilderness within the marsh wetlands and the banks of the estuary. Little coves and lush forests filled with varied vegetation . Reedbeds and rushes fed by the sea , full of wild fescue grass, sea fennel , mallow and xeric along the sandy boundaries , oak trees , holm-oak , gorse , heather and ferns form a unique landscape in these aspects. As regards the fauna this is the reign of seabirds and small and large mammals such as dormice , gray , hedgehogs, polecats , foxes , minks , martens , genets , weasels , wild cats , deer , boars , and rabbits. This variety comes complete with the presence of amphibians and small reptiles .
However Urdaibai has truly earned its declaration as a biosphere reserve and is a very dignified meeting place for travelers and locals. This natural area astounds in daylight, and as this disappears and night starts to fall, it comes to life with a breathtaking symphony of sounds reminiscent of a thousand legends , endless adventures and dreams of fairies and elves . And that's when Urdaibai is defined as a magical paradise , a dream , an estuary of enchantment.

To the average person, I am a rapper/producer. To myself, I am more than that. A visionary. A sovereign mind state. Therefore, I got some terms and rules and explanations to how I operate.
1. FUN & GAMES: I make beats I will post up nicely zipped, with photoshop'd album covers. I will post them in the Imeem playlist where all music I am affiliated with will be for listening. As more beat albums appear, they will be available for download in the sliding table. Feel free to download them, rap 'em up, and have fun...I don't mind. However, if you feel the want to make that beat yours, and yours only, we can discuss that.
2. MONEY TALK$: If you are a local Cincinnati act, I am more than happy to meet and greet to exchange change for bang. Eventually I'll get a Paypal where you can do it like that if you're not from around here.
3. SITE CONTENT: When I need to be, I can be a role model. When you're on my site, you may see or read content that may make you uncomfortable. That goes for profanes words(Fuck, Shit, Nigga, et cetera), sexual material(naked), et cetera. Dig?
4. EXECUTIVE BRANCH: I'm not going to boast any skills I have at this....If you're an underground talent who would like to have a set of classic beats up under him/her, I am willing to sit down with you and bring your song ideas to life with beats. I find I am very good at this. I will only charge you for the set of beats since I don't have a studio of my own anymore.
5. CAMEO: If you would like me to drop a verse or chorus on your song, I will take half the price off of the tag. If I have the urge to hop on the track, the beat is free. Get it?
When I think of more, I won't hesitate to add more...

3 Ways to Give Life Insurance
Make a powerful gift that honors your commitment to the Corps
When the original purpose of a life insurance policy no longer applies—such as supporting children now grown or providing financial security for a spouse—your policy can become a powerful and simple way to support the good work of the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. There are three ways to give the gift of life insurance:
Name the Scholarship Foundation a beneficiary of the policy. This gift is as simple as updating your beneficiary designation form with the policy holder. You can designate the Scholarship Foundation as the primary beneficiary for a percentage or specific amount. You can also make us the contingent beneficiary so that we will receive the balance of your policy only if your primary beneficiary doesn't survive you.
Make an outright gift of an existing policy. You can name us as owner and beneficiary of an existing policy. You qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction when you itemize on your taxes. If you continue to pay premiums on the policy, each payment is tax deductible as a charitable gift when you itemize.
Make an outright gift of a new policy. You can take out a new policy and irrevocably name the Scholarship Foundation as the owner and the beneficiary of the insurance contract. This method may be particularly attractive for a younger donor. Whether you make one single premium payment for the policy or pay annual premiums, each payment is tax deductible as a charitable gift when you itemize.
See How It Works
Next Steps
- Contact Lindsay Cameron at 571.386.2643 or firstname.lastname@example.com for additional information on life insurance.
- Seek the advice of your financial or legal adviser.
- If you include the Scholarship Foundation in your plans, please use our legal name and federal tax ID.

In search for the new Love Nook
There still seems to be a few flaws in the developer's arguments, mainly centering around the scale of the proposed 3-story building and its impact on the attached Heritage Listed bakery and shop, as well as the visual impact on the pre-1940s street scape. But being rather negative and cynical about, I feel this current council is decidedly lacking in the romance required of them to deny such a development based on the above two factors, so I'm sure it's a given that the rubber stamp will be rapidly and enthusiastically brought down on this application. Before long, no doubt, the very place where I'm sitting will be no more and there'll be at least 11 more cashed-up bogans to boast about their owning "a delightful 2-bedder in the restaurant district of the inner-northern suburbs" (to whit, my response of "Oh really, you mean that glorified 75sq m shit-box with the fetching views of the cement trucks hurtling down Sandgate Road" will probably result in a bloodied nose. Mine. Again).
Here begins the happy task of house-hunting for the first time in nearly 11 years. The last time I did this, I had a crappy double bed, a bookcase, a stereo and a couple of suitcases of personal effects and CDs. I now have, in addition to the now even-crappier double bed, a 2-bedroom unit full to bursting point with rapidly depreciating furniture, decrepit soft furnishings, a champions' collection of CDs and books, as well as the accumulated detritus from 11 years of being in the one place and share-housing. Yep, this is going to be as shit as it sounds.
The Tiger and I have begun the relatively monumental task of trying to learn and organise what it takes to find a cool new place worthy of a Love Den tag, get approved to move in, get everything over there, clean this place up, etc, etc. Oh fuck. We have, however, found a non-faff related use for the much-maligned Google Wave to keep all our ideas and house-hunting endeavours in the one place, which is actually quite nifty.
All of this organisational joy, however, will not save us from the coming hell of dealing with the plastic real estate agents and property managers as they sneer and jeer at this couple who is "still renting in 2010, why don't you just buy your own place?" Grrrr... FUCK YOU, wench. Hmm... yeah, I got issues.
Wish us luck. Most importantly, provide us a solid alibi if you read in the news of a trail of beaten and battered plasticed, make-up plastered, fake-tanned real estate agents and property managers through the northern suburbs of Brisbane.
(And, yes, there'll be some sort of party planned to kiss this slice of heaven goodbye)

I'm so sorry about the Love Den!
There isn't anything wrong with renting in 2010, ffs. It's a very personal decision and don't let them talk you into doing something you don't feel is right for you and your wife.
Good luck and I hope the year gets better for you!

It's entirely possible, with the arse out of the property market, you would lose money buying anyway, unless you hung onto the property through the other side of the trough. Plenty of people who bought here in about 2004-05 and sold 2008-09 lost buckets and would have been better off renting given the extra coin they piled into mortgages.
And besides property managers are fucktards anyway.

As a developer or designer, we always want to create good app for our user. But to create a good iOS, we have to first understand what makes a good iOS App. In this post, I'll try to define in a simple way, what makes a good iOS app.
Clear Purpose
Before writing any code or designing any screen, we need to deeply understand the purpose of the app we're building. Each application we're using should have a clear purpose. My example of a good app with a clear purpose is Apple Calendar. We can view, add, modify, delete events and that's it and that's ok. You don't have to think twice when you open this calendar app. Apple Messages is also a good one, I'm not even counting how many times I've use it…
Simple to use
You might think design a beautiful app is enough to make an good App? Well, as Steve jobs said:
Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
– Steve Jobs
Indeed, good app tends to be simple enough to be use without having a tutorial. My favourite app to illustrate this second point is Reeder. This app follows the first principle, having a clear purpose, reading RSS feeds but It's also a joy to use.
New content
What makes you open Facebook? Twitter? Or even Pinterest? You've guess it, new content. When an app is build around new content, it gives user an incentive to check back the app for new information, stories. Some of app, doesn't rely on user-generated content but all major application (social network, news) are based around this principle.
Each of this point require deep understanding of user needs to build a good app not only iOS app. So for you, what makes a good iOS App?

pBone MINI Trombone (Various colours available)
- 7-inch Bell
- Weighs 1.8 pounds
- Bag included
- Lockable slide
- Pitched in Eb
- Water key
- Plastic Material
- 2 colours available
- pBone mini, small shank
We are proud to announce that the Symphony Hall Gift Shop is the only Birmingham-based supplier of these new and remarkable instruments!
The pBone mini has been designed to allow hands of various shapes and sizes to find a comfortable, effective grip.
This is especially true for the small hands of younger children who can choose from a variety of left hand positions including a "pistol grip" for good lower arm posture. The light weight of pBone mini means that supporting the instrument is not a problem for even the youngest of players.
Carefully shaped components encourage good posture and the correct positioning of the thumb whilst discouraging the use of the right hand to support the weight of the instrument.
ABS coloured parts are extremely durable and our unique one-piece bell and gooseneck design is extraordinarily strong. The glass fibre slide tube is immeasurably more durable than fragile brass tubing and will withstand knocks, bumps and scrapes that would demolish a brass trombone slide.
pBone mini is not indestructible but like its larger counterpart it is certainly the most durable and robust trombone ever produced!
With fewer 'do's and don'ts' and no shouts of "be careful!", pBone allows teachers and pupils to leap into the learning experience in a more natural, informal and fun environment.
Currently available in bold blue and striking red, the pBone mini is incredibly lightweight, easy to assemble and easy to get to grips with; so start making some sounds and let the fun begin!

I'm using Act 2007 9 and I'm using a usb flash for my back up. I notice when ever I go to do a back up to the F drive where the flash is located it always says that the file already exists and do I want to replace it. I keep saying yes to replace it thinking that I'm updating the file with any new information I've put in my Act database. I'm very "uncomputer" so my question is by doing it this way am I in fact updating my back up each time I replace the existing file.
I'm not at my wife's laptop (I set up Act for her Real Estate business). but it sounds like to me you are overwriting the last backup you did. I'm not sure if ACT uses a default backup name for every backup it does. My gut is it does. Named basically after the name of the database. This should be easy to confirm if you look on your F: drive and see that 1) there's only one file there and you have done more than one backup, 2) the date of the backup is the same as the date you did the last backup.
Act does not do incremental back-ups in the sense that it just updates the backup file with the changes you made. It creates an entirely new compressed backup file everytime you run it. Now this is not necessarily bad, it just depends on what type of a backup scheme you want. For many folks as long as they have one backup that is fine. For others they might find that having backups that allow them to go back a few days or weeks is needed. you might for example find you have had a problem go unnoticed for a week but you just backed up your database and wiped out the only good copy with the same problem. In that case you would want to drop back to an even earlier version. My recommendation is you keep a few backups by changing the default name of the backup to include the date you back up the database. For example: ACTBACKUP_07172008 and then next weeks backup would be ACTBACKUP_07242008 and so on. You could keep as many or as few of the backups as you determine you need. That's a highly individual choice based on circumstances. Hope this helps.

Some people start panicking really easily whenever they feel unusual pain. Those most terrified run to their healthcare provider and claim that they have arthritis or rheumatism. However, in many scenarios, their concerns have absolutely no ground and can be dismissed right away. Nonetheless, some symptoms, pains, and body aches may indicate that something is wrong and you should be seeking for medical attention.
Just like in many other cases related to health issues, it is much better to visit a doctor early rather than later or never. If you want to know when to start worrying about your condition, you should be a bit pragmatic and maybe even devote some time to studying what is the most common response of arthritis patients to some factors related to their sufferings. Factors such as:
- The impact of symptoms on the quality of life.
- The nature of symptoms and their origins.
- Available treatment methods.
- The desire of the patient to visit a doctor.
You don't need to live with pain
Postponing a visit to your doctor without any reason (and even with a reason) is never a good idea if you experience any kind of symptoms. Whether your pains have a periodic unexplainable nature or persist at all times during bad weather, you need to make a decision and go see your medical health provider.
The most obvious moment to take a trip to the hospital is when symptoms become bothersome and start affecting the quality of life. If you cannot sleep due to pain or avoid certain poses, don't live with that and try to suffer through. There are all sorts of effective arthritis treatment options and starting treatment early always means good results in the long run.
Learn about your pain
In order to decide whether you need to go to a doctor, you must understand your aches. Identify when you started experiencing pains. Was it after a bruise? Did it start with a discomfort that grew into persistent ache? Being able to describe symptoms well enough for a specialist to make a competent diagnosis is a big deal. If you want your conversation with a doctor to be fruitful, try to remember everything about your pains.
You should be very concerned in cases when you simply cannot explain the origins of pain. In such scenarios seeking for medical assistance is very important.
Know your options
There is no need to be afraid of consequent treatment. In fact, there more attention you pay to the diagnosis process, the more effective the treatment will be. There is so-called DMARD which is a drug class that contains all medications capable of reducing symptoms and modifying the disease itself. Other drugs will conserve your joints and bones preventing further damage. Without any treatment over 30% of patients become disabled within only 3 years.
Note that the prognosis for those who decided to address the issue is much better. In fact, nearly 80% of patients who undergo treatment with biologic meds experience significant improvements.
Be willing to see your doctor
Some people have problems with our healthcare system in general. There are individuals who simply don't trust doctors. However, only with competent assistance from a practicing experienced professional you can expect to recover from persistent pains. Do not sit at home suffering from pain. Your stubbornness and unwillingness to consult with a doctor may lead to significant complications in the nearest future.
Be mindful of your body
When symptoms start making you feel worse and impact the quality of your life by brining discomfort and persistent pain, forget about your superstitions and prejudices. Just trust your doctor and get started with your treatment course. The earlier you begin treating your pains seriously, the better your chances of fencing off the disease are.

This issue we speak to Daniel Hopkins, Director of innovative construction industry solution provider Metex Online, a firm setting its sights on CI…
Metex might be unknown to a lot of our readers, so can you introduce yourself and the company, please?
Metex is a UK SME created by two individuals both with 30+ years' experience in the construction industry. The two senior Directors, one a long-term entrepreneur with many years of building construction material supply businesses and the other a forward-thinking product design engineer with a passion for construction. They both share a desire to fill the many gaps with products that make a significant difference to site personnel in terms of how easy they are to use, how functional they are and also how competitive they can be manufactured, without compromising on their quality ethos
Ample experience in the construction industry, then. How do you see that benefitting the Custom Install industry?
Metex try and listen firstly and that's what they see as the key to growing strong and long-term customer relationships. In construction, all trades people develop their own ways of overcoming problems, what Metex do is understand the problem from the bottom up and, if viable, design, prototype and manufacture a commercial product that has been derived from an internal need within the industry. The trick is then to make it visible, which when running an SME with a limited budget can be a real challenge. If you take Corefix as the strong example for the Custom Installer, Metex know that expanding the range and offering additional products that are able to cope with many applications is critical as it won't only be a 10mm gap between the plasterboard and block and with thermally insulated plasterboard becoming more common this is also being investigated
How do you keep Metex on the cutting-edge of the construction world, how do you develop your products?
Metex like to be noisy as well as being good listeners and are currently developing some products at the request of a national concrete supplier to support the launch of a new product – why would they use us? Metex guess that a customer becomes confident in them over time in that they will deliver on their promises and develop a product that works for the customer and their customer base – they don't just listen, but are very proactive in their approach and, where possible, like to be very inventive. As well as trying to improve on existing products, such products as Pipefall and Pipetak are a new take that we created to solve existing site issues; so Pipefall is an easy way to check a pipe gradient and Pipetak a great and competitive way to secure UFH pipes for one-off projects
So, if one of our readers was about to start work on installing, say, a home cinema, what Metex products would you recommend to help get the job done?
Corefix is their sole product that fits within the AV market, although as mentioned above this range is expanding for launch in early 2018. With TVs growing in size and Corefix being tested up to 250kg on 4x fixings there's still some scope for TVs to get larger, the product won't only support the TV though its suitable for large speakers, cabinets etc and is fast becoming the product of choice with some of the UK's best-known AV product distributors
And how quickly can you deliver?
The product is available via stockists and distributors who have large bespoke trade counters, so collection is immediate from these outlets. Online channels include Amazon and eBay as well as dedicated websites that will dispatch the same day on a 2/3-day service – although for a small fee a next day delivery service is available.
Finally, will you be releasing any future products directly targeting custom installers?
Yes, Metex have other products on the horizon for this market and as they understand this market better there will no doubt be other exciting 'fixings' developments.

Picking a decent quality car cover will have the effect between cruising in an eye-getting vehicle and building up an inclination for driving during the evening when nobody else is around to perceive what a state you have enabled your auto to get into! Auto spreads are likely a standout amongst the most economical auto adornments accessible but they manage the cost of such awesome security to your prized ownership and will keep your bodywork and vehicle trustworthiness in total top condition. There are a wide range of auto spreads accessible available, notwithstanding, which one you will pick will rely on upon two central points – where you live and how you will utilize the item.
Where you live have an immediate bearing since this is the place the auto will spend the greater part of its existence with you. On the off chance that you live in the south or wherever the sun has a huge effect you will require a car cover with great bright insurance; in the event that you live in the colder north you will require a car cover which conveys great security from rain and snow. Check the car cover you are purchasing will carry out the occupation you are hoping to do and that it is equipped for giving all-round insurance to your vehicle. You require an car cover which will breath, that is it will enable air to course in light of the fact that regardless of where you live, in the event that you seal your vehicle up with a non-breathing wrx car covers then soggy and shape will aggregate making mold and rust issues in the event that it is put away for any noteworthy period of time. In the meantime, it needs to shield the auto from rain and snow dissolve entering from outside and getting under the cover which will then bring about rust issues for your auto.
Search for a water safe car cover with a low-piousness figure this enables the air to flow and water has an extreme occupation getting under the cover however can even now escape. Guarantee the car cover has a high bright insurance calculate; simply think about the circumstances you have seen an auto with a blurred paint work, particularly an auto with red paint – it looks appalling and unattractive. This is made by the sun and similarly as you can wind up plainly consumed from the impacts of the sun even while wearing garments; you should ensure the car cover you utilize will give great sun security.

GTFO My Tinder
Im Jesús, I'm a bitter programmer. That's my day-job. I work and talk to computers all day, so I pretty much have to use apps to be able to meet guys, just like any other normal New Yorker. Like all New Yorkers, it's been a really frustrating experience lol.
Tinder is especially frustrating because of the low return of investment. We have all had the experience of interacting with dead pixels — matches not returning any sent messages and having a bunch of dead-end signals. I'm trying to actively meet people, so I prefer to un-match people who just aren't willing to put in the effort. Un-matching them through the UI takes a lot of manual effort, especially when you build hundreds and hundreds of matches over a long period of time. So, I wrote a pretty simple script that uses your Facebook login and password, logs into tinder and removes anyone from the list who hasn't sent you a message or logged on past a certain date.
This past Valentine's Day, I gave myself the gift of #delete #delete #delete and ran this script. I ended up going from 938 duds to like 75 people who actually responded. You could start doing some pretty advanced stuff with this, like deleting anyone who hasn't responded to your last message within X days, or what have you, to really filter the signal. Grindr's new API (the thing that controls access to their data) is being mined right now, as well as Scruff, so hopefully I can start making scripts for that too. Stay tuned to find out.

Any good to eat? How to eat? I'm sure anyone can get enought from the lake for whatever way they want to use them. Thanks for any answer.

MABEL, Ore. — Like most farmers, Shelley Bowerman and Dan Schuler started small.
An initial passion for food sparked the pair's interest in food production. Bowerman wanted to increase her access to high-quality, local and organic food. Schuler had already begun gardening and growing food. They met in the University of Oregon's Urban Farm Program and realized they had similar interests.
"It snowballs until you find yourself wanting to pursue different niches in the industry; you find yourself as a producer," Schuler said. "You fall in love with the seasonal ebbs and flows of growing food."
As new farmers take root and established farms transfer land within families, there's space for a new generation of farmers, Melissa Fery, a Oregon State University Extension small farms agent, said. While many resources are available for new producers, Fery said educational programs are important to cover the fundamentals.
In the past, the OSU Small Farms Program hosted a farm planning series, "Exploring the Small Farms Dream," and assembled focus groups designed to assess the needs of beginning farmers.
"The idea is to get more information from people who have been farming in recent years," Fery said. "How they got involved, the biggest questions they had starting out, what they needed to learn first, and where they found information. We're looking for gaps and ways we can improve programs."
Bowerman and Schuler both attended the latest focus group held on Feb. 8, as well as gatherings such as Saturday's OSU Small Farm Conference every year.
They are about to start their third season at Moondog's Farm, and have a long-term lease on a 42 acres northeast of Eugene and Springfield nestled next to the Mohawk River. The farm runs on a community supported agriculture model and grows organic vegetables and wholesale seeds.
The farm has three priorities: contributing to the conservation of wild habitat, co-existing with habitat while ensuring food production and bringing in the community.
The two agree that beyond educational programs, Moondog's Farm couldn't have gotten started without the network of farmers surrounding them.
"We meet people on a regular basis who are market gardeners and it's just them," Schuler said. "They have to be in charge of all the production and marketing. It sounds like a nightmare. One thing I feel really fortunate for is having a community that supports us."
He said they have also leaned on other established farmers, in terms of bulk purchasing and borrowing equipment.
The biggest challenges they've had has been breaking into the industry, finding a market and learning the nuances, Schuler said. Bowerman added that the "classic farmer conundrum," when the expenses happen before the income does, is trying as well.
"It's having the faith that the bit of investment will pay off," she said. "It's something I grapple with for sure, but I have a lot of trust in what we're doing and the people around us."
Bowerman said that everything she learned came from other farmers.
"I mean everything," she elaborated. "Everything I know is from other people."
Cultivating these relationships takes maintenance, Schuler said, and it's important to be active in the farming community. Mentor relationships can become even more valuable down the road.
Finding these mentors through networking is another benefit to attending educational seminars, especially because Oregon has many types of farms from which to learn.
"When you think about educational needs, it's very diverse," Fery, of OSU's Small Farms Program, said. "(Farmers) bring in their own skill set. They're great at one thing, but need help with another."
For that reason, Schuler finds internships or working at farms part-time to be especially valuable.
"You see the progression of their systems and how their overhead works," he said. "When it comes time to build your own systems, you have four to five different models so you're not building from scratch. We draw bits that are applicable to what we do."
Although Schuler said they are engaged with local programs, he said the best way to learn to farm is by doing it.

Video: Cécile Demailly – The mathematics of change
Numbers, ROI and projections run today's businesses. Change is something we would like to master, especially when it is expected to happen in an organization. It would be helpful to have equations and be able to predict the speed, velocity, and acceleration of a transformation and to extrapolate the challenges. But is it possible? And how can mathematics help with disruption and uncertainty, the driving forces behind modern change? Cecile Demailly challenges us to consider the potential that mathematics has for thinking and executing change at scale. 2+2 is not always 4.

Traditional oil rigs will be replaced with "underwater cities" within a decade under ambitious plans being drawn up by Petrobras, Brazil's state-owned energy group.
Petrobras plans to turn science fiction into reality to extract oil from the vast pre-salt oil fields discovered off the south east coast of Brazil.
The plan is to construct 'cities' more than 2,000 metres under water, containing machines, giant pieces of equipment and robots that could inspect the systems being used to extract millions of barrels of oil. Many operations would be fully automated while others would be controlled by humans at a distance.
"Our target is that we won't need platforms in ten years from now," said Carlos Tadeu Fraga, executive manager of the Petrobras Research Centre.
Petrobras already owns virtual reality laboratories where engineers can inspect 3D images of oil fields. But now they want to take a further technological leap by installing floating rig equipment on the sea bed.
The machinery under the sea would be capable of separating oil, gas, water and sand, compressing substances and generating enough energy to keep the operation functioning.
Petrobras will take the first step in turning its plans into reality when it installs machines to separate water and oil in the Marlim oil field in the Campos Basin.
It is having to ambitious to extract the huge reserves in the pre-salt fields, which lie below layers of sand, rock and salt as well as water .

Turning a garden around and really making it sing is such a pleasure.
A lot of my work involves fixing up failing or failed gardens. I actually love physical gardening and so I generally am fairly hands on in bringing on a restoration plan to a stage where the garden is all working well again.
If the work requires it I provide gardeners or craftsmen that I know and trust but sometimes I work with a client's regular gardeners and contractors. Directing and working with existing gardeners can work really well; it is often a great learning opportunity for a young or less experienced gardener.
Either way it's a wonderful thing to see a sleeping garden wake up or a lost garden get found again.

|Words, words, words... They're everywhere. There are so many of them! And their numbers are growing. In fact, according to the English Oxford Dictionary there are currently well over a half million words in our language. Up from about 50,000 total words in the 1600s. (Making new words is a big business!) As the number of words go up the value of each individual word appears to go down. Less and less people pay attention to all this verbosity. Why? Because the more words we use the harder it is to communicate. Seems backwards doesn't it?
Think about politics for a moment... Imagine the conversation that you often see and hear between politicians? How would you characterize it? Most likely you would say they use a lot of words! Words that are politically correct, influenced by special interest groups and full of rhetoric. After a while most people tend turn it off or look the other way.
Think about marketing… Look at how many words are turned down, turned away from, or flat out ignored every day in advertising. For example: I live in a development called 'wildcat ridge'. There are no wildcats. (At least there haven't been any in a while.) And there is no ridge. The development's name is used for marketing... to make the area sound more exotic… to entice those who are looking for a home. (Apparently a bunch of families moving into North Phoenix find it appealing to raise their young children around mountain lions?) After a while most people realize that the development's name means very little.
Think about how we talk… For example: Our society uses the word 'love' often. I even do it. I might say, "I love playing football." And that's true but not like I love being with my kids. Or I might say... "I love chalupas from Taco Bell." Yeah, I love chalupas, but not in the same way I love my wife. (And the truth is I really don't love chalupas I just love saying the word… try it...) No doubt after time we diminish meaning as we misuse the word 'love' so often. (Barbara Brown Taylor wrote a book entitled, "When God is Silent", that has some of the best thinking about 'words' that I've read. It's not a long book. I would highly recommend it.)
One last example… look at how many words it took me to get to this paragraph which is really at the heart of what I want to say! (418 up until now if you haven't been counting)
Often our words matter very little. The way we live our life does matter. A common temptation among those who call themselves Christians is to hide behind words. We hide behind them because it's easier to do that than to figure out what they mean and really live them. Or as one of my favorite quotes along these lines goes… "There is ambiguity between terminology considered as words about the faith and words as faith incarnate in living men. Our task is to bridge this gap, preserving both creed and meaning. It challenges us to clothe mere words with life." Mildred Bangs Wynkoop.
"Clothe mere words with life…" think about it… that's what God did when He created this world. He spoke and life was created. That's what Jesus did when He walked this earth. He was the Living Word. His words were valuable yes, but it was His life backing up those words… living in congruence with those words… that changed all of history.
So, what should I do with words? Two things God is teaching me. 1) Use them less. This really smart guy in the Book of Proverbs says, "Where words are many sin is not absent." 2) Most important I think... make sure my words match my life.

Preventing Another Sony-Style Cyberattack
Keith Alexander of Bloomberg View writes on insurancejournal.com, "Cyber-attacks against the U.S. are certain to increase. Countries that cannot or would not attack us physically will turn to cyber as a viable and lucrative alternative. Such attacks are easy to deny and extremely difficult to attribute. Sony is the latest and most explosive example of this trend, but it won't be the last."
He writes that the U.S. must learn from the Sony attack and use it as an opportunity to protect the country from further intrusions. To that end, Alexander writes, the country should focus on three major objectives in cyberspace. They are:
Pertaining to his second point, Alexander also discusses a controversial bill. Here's what he had to say in his article on insurancejournal.com:
"Unfortunately, current laws and policies impede this kind of co-operation. Companies can't easily share information with the government about cyber-attacks. And the government often can't assess attacks against companies and provide timely assistance. To counter this, we need clear legislative guidelines for sharing cybersecurity information between the government and the private sector, and liability protection for companies that do so. Along these lines, a bipartisan bill introduced in the last Congress, known as the Cyber Intelligence and Sharing Protection Act, is a good start."
Though we can all agree there is a need for cybersecurity legislation, people will of course have differing opinions on the content of proposed laws. It's important to be aware of what laws are being posed though, how extensive they are, what rights and protections they'll offer. We encourage you to keep abreast of various approaches to cybersecurity legislation both here in the U.S. and around the world.
Alexander concludes:
"For any of these steps to work, we also have to make sure that the public is confident that their privacy and civil liberties aren't being violated. That means having an open and transparent discussion about what protections are needed for any information-sharing plans between the public and private sectors, as well as the privacy risks the public now faces from cyber-attacks.
The attack against Sony was an attack against all of us. And our response should reflect this fact. We should use this opportunity develop our cybersecurity framework and pass legislation to improve our ability to defend against future attacks."

What a lot of business owners have a problem doing is finding different ways to optimize their fan base and keep people intrigued with their page. Below are a few tips and ideas to help you to improve your social media marketing skills.
Regardless of if you're writing a tweet, coming up with a title for a blog post, or coming up with a post to add on Facebook, you should create interesting titles that your readers will want to see. Good titles encourage readers to notice and view your marketing content.

This will allow you to build a strong relationship with your potential customers. You will also establish yourself as a real person and not just a business entity.

Set up a timeline and budget for your media marketing. Stick with your schedule the best you can, so you can find results from social media.
Social Media
Create special offers for social media followers. Engage customers by providing them with something exclusive. For instance, launch a contest via social media.

The preceding paragraphs presented a number of sound strategies to apply towards better results in your companies social media marketing campaign. Keep in mind that a good marketing campaign could greatly increase the popularity of your business, which would mean more sales and more money for you.

On January 10, Jack Ma, the chairman of the board of directors of Alibaba had a meeting with Trump, the elected president of America. The meeting last for 40 minutes.
The meeting is mainly about the development and employment of middle and small-sized enterprises. Jack Ma also mentioned Alibaba's expanding plan in America, in which Alibaba will provide more than 1 million positions in America through helping small-sized enterprises to sell their products to China and other countries in Asia.
According to Jack Ma, Alibaba will focus on clothes, wine, agricultural products and fruits. Small companies in the mid-west of America can sell their service and products to Asia on Alibaba's platform, especially to the market of southeastern Asia.
In 2016, Alibaba was listed in the blacklist of "notorious market" published by the office United States Trade Representative Office because of Alibaba's selling fake and infringing products. To Alibaba who has been a listed company in the US and seeking chance to expand the market of America, the meeting with Trump is a turning point.
During the meeting, Trump introduced the trend of development and new forms of consumption in America. Trump also said that china changing from a manufacturing country to a consuming country means opportunities to small companies and consumers in America.
With the platform of Alibaba, products of small enterprises can easily get involved in the global cross-border trade. Compared with paying for people who live in America, it is also more safe and convenient for Chinese consumers to buy local American products on Alibaba's protected platform.

Keep Walking by auvic feat. Caroline Kim
About this guy
Auvic is a Boston based producer of electrohouse, complextro, and dubstep. He has synesthesia and can see music that he hears. He has an upcoming album, Voices, that will be released on Audiophile Live.
Why I like this
Auvic's music is all intricate and rhythmically complex. Keep Walking starts us out with a funky bassline and vocals before evolving in to some wobbly-dub-step goodness that wraps itself around the groove that's already been laid down. Auvic has got some major talent with arranging sounds and putting them where they fit best and everything is definitely in it's right place here. The groove is broken up between the bass, the wobs, and other sounds that seem to all fall effortlessly in to place. Keep Walking is both catchy and very elaborate without being a chalenge to listen to. This is a great track, and I am looking forward to hearing (and hopefully posting) more music from this artist soon!

When my friend Sarah over at The Book Traveler sent me a link to The Idea of You, I wasn't sure what I was getting into. A boy band member and an established woman with a teen - this sounded like heartbreak in a less than the time it takes to sing a chorus. But I can't resist a story about a boy band, and I'm glad I didn't!
At 39, Solene has a career she has worked hard for, a tween daughter, and an ex-husband who's moved on. She's relatively content, something that quickly shifts when she meets Hayes Campbell. Hayes is a 20 year old starter of August Moon, which will remind you of One Direction right down to the obsessive fans and OTP shippers. They're both easily likeable, with Solene being so real that you could see her as your neighbor or in your circle of friends. Hayes, while relatively mature, is a 20 year old guy who has figured out how to use the attention to his advantage and not let it get to him. It's easy for a reader to judge Solene for the age difference, something the book explores. Ageism is alive and real in nearly all of the characters in the book.
While the age difference is hard to ignore, the true meat of the story comes in the exploration of Solene entering Hayes' world of fame and how that impacts a person. In the age of social media, a celebrity never gets a down moment, and neither does anyone they are close to. As you can imagine, this complicates their relationship when the world learns of their relationship. And it is a relationship, as real as one can be with the pair living in completely separate worlds. They get hot and heavy, something Lee doesn't shy away from.
It's hard to imagine the story ending with your typical romance book, since this isn't your typical romance. Readers will leave the story satisfied.

When Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of a prestigious art gallery in Los Angeles, takes her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band, she does so reluctantly and at her ex-husband's request. The last thing she expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon. But Hayes Campbell is clever, winning, confident, and posh, and the attraction is immediate. That he is all of twenty years old further complicates things.
What begins as a series of clandestine trysts quickly evolves into a passionate relationship. It is a journey that spans continents as Solène and Hayes navigate each other's disparate worlds: from stadium tours to international art fairs to secluded hideaways. And for Solène, it is as much a reclaiming of self, as it is a rediscovery of happiness and love. When their romance becomes a viral sensation, and both she and her daughter become the target of rabid fans and an insatiable media, Solène must face how her new status has impacted not only her life, but the lives of those closest to her.


text: Now that I have settled on my camera store, DSLR, starter lenses, and editing software, I have some time to kill until Thanksgiving/Christmas (that's when Lori is letting em make my purchases) - I figured I should get myself settled on other essential goodies. I don't know what is essential, but, I figure a decent camera bag and a tripod are good places to start. I'm on the usual strict budget, so with that in mind, I've been looking at basic options. Tripod I was thinking about looking for an ultra compact tripod (something that collapses nice and small...maybe under a foot), but am a bit wary of of what kind of build quality I will be getting for something like that on the cheap. I figure it will be getting used with the camera or our camcorder, both of which will be under 5-6 pounds. Camera Bag I have no idea what to look at/for. If it is any help in comparing, I normally carry my PB in a neoprene sleeve and tuck that into my cheap Jansport backback. But, I really don't know.

I suppose this is a natural evolution from "Nokia Oy Vey"... now it's just "Nokia Oy".
this doesn't mean that NOKIA brand will dissapear from phones like the picture suggests. Not so long ago Ricoh bought Pentax camera division. Cameras that are now made by Ricoh imaging are still branded Pentax. I think Microsoft won't shoot a winning (or at least promissing) horse and keep nokia branding. At least I hope so.
tomakali, 21 Apr 2014Nokia will exist "inside" your windows phone as "Here" and many other inte... moreBro, am not talking about a app in a windows phone that will remind us that nokia exist..Nokia's greatest power was feature phone and most of feature phone does not have here maps..As i belong to India and here in terms of maps people knows only google maps they even don't know what is here maps so how they will be able to recognise Nokia exist inside their phone.....and a phone is always recognise by their Manufacturer name an then OS not by an app..Hope you got my point..Now i am in confusion should I purchase a last Nokia Lumia or not..its better to move out rather than purchasing a microsoft windows phone or stick with Nokia X6
AnonD-78634, 21 Apr 2014Oh god..No Nokia no windows phone atleast i will be purchasing..The name on which many people ... moreNokia will exist "inside" your windows phone as "Here" and many other intelligent apps which will make WP even more better.
Since Nokia hardware is being renamed to Microsoft there is not going to be any degrade in the Nokia quality hardware. BTW Microsoft's surface hardware is more advanced than Nokia hardware. the one thing thats going to be compromised is the "brand Nokia"
Oh god..No Nokia no windows phone atleast i will be purchasing..The name on which many people around the world trust is going to be fade..I dont think that is there any Mobile person in the world who have not used/touch a Nokia phone in his entire life..Yes Nokia will be working as an independent company but No matter what Nokia is doing now if they are not making things which people can feel in day to day use for them Nokia is dead..I beleive in future Nokia will be making some devices which will again connect people..
AnonD-44163, 21 Apr 2014For those who are crying NOKIA NOKIA what have you done to improve the market share of Nokia p... moreI have a 720 too. Best midrange ever. Camera is better than 920.
The King of Mobile Phone will return to the arena and claim its throne back.
For those who are crying NOKIA NOKIA what have you done to improve the market share of Nokia phones?? You cry Nokia here and you are holding cheap overspecd Samsung phones... I have Lumia 720 & I was planning to buy 1520 next month but I will wait and see what Microsoft lumias look like and what they can offer
Waiting for Microsoft Lumia it will be a killer, Nokia is dead because they failed to develop in time.they did me a favour for not joining Android I don't where I would have gone because I will never use an Android powered phone
G.M.301, 21 Apr 2014no one buy ms mobile in pakistan.normal man just like nokia
ms sale was down and out if chan... moregm 301 you are rite
nokia is great name no one buy ms mobiles
and this is the time for nokia lover buy 2 aur 3 new nokia mobiles like 515.301 or any other set and save for next 1 or 2 years.go to shops boys and buy nokia mobile.in next years ms mobiles is fail.good days with nokia good by nokia
AFAIK, Oyj is just a acquiring division of MS. Remember Skype is also named Oyj in the first place then Microsoft decided to retain tge Skype name. Nokia will still be there. Its still a brand that sells.
Let's face it. If it weren't for the effort that nokia put into Windows Phones (thanks to that Elop guy) they would not even be having any market share right now. Im not gonna buy windows because of the OS. Im gonna get a wp because its a nokia branded one.
Kopi-O-Siew-Dai, 21 Apr 2014Actually, Android is not laggy nor buggy. Is Samsung that made the OS looks stupid. Being user... moreWindows Phone animation in the UI is non existent. That's really a complain?
