RCM Provides Stark Comparison Between RCM's Highly-Qualified and Very Experienced Board Nominee Michael E.S. Frankel and the Legion Group's Less Compelling Nominee Bradley S. Vizi Recommends Stockholders Vote White Proxy Card to Support the RCM Board of Directors' Highly Qualified and Very Experienced Nominees PENNSAUKEN, N.J., Nov. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RCM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:RCMT), a premier provider of business and technology solutions designed to enhance and maximize the operational performance of its customers through the adaptation and deployment of advanced information technology, engineering and specialty healthcare services, today announced that it has mailed a letter to stockholders comparing the qualifications of RCM's Board nominee, Michael E.S. Frankel, with those of the Legion Group's Board nominee, Bradley S. Vizi. In its letter, RCM shows the stark comparison between the two decades of experience that Michael E.S. Frankel would bring to the RCM Board, including service as a public company board member, chairing a board's nominating and governance committee, experience running an operating company with profit & loss responsibility, experience as an M&A advisor, experience serving as an advisor or executive for some of the country's most prominent public and private companies and experience serving the best interests of public company stockholders, and Mr. Vizi's lack of any similar experience in the seven years since he received his undergraduate degree, including never serving on a public company's board of directors. Mr. Frankel's impressive resume includes experience at some of the country's most prestigious and well-known firms, including serving as an M&A attorney at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, an M&A investment banker at Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., a corporate development executive at G.E. Capital and the Senior Vice President for M&A at Reed-Elsevier's Lexis-Nexis Division. As previously announced, the Legion Group is a dissident stockholder group that is pursuing a proxy contest to elect its two handpicked nominees to the RCM Board at the 2013 Annual Meeting to be held on Thursday, December 5, 2013, at 6:00 p.m., local time, at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. RCM has established October 18, 2013 as the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting. RCM's Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote to elect RCM's highly-qualified and very experienced director nominees –Michael E.S. Frankel and Robert B. Kerr – by voting the WHITE proxy card by telephone, Internet or mail. RCM strongly urges stockholders to vote only the WHITE proxy card and discard the gold proxy card they may receive from the dissident stockholder group led by Legion Partners Asset Management LLC. RCM is being advised in connection with the proxy contest by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP and Alston & Bird LLP. MacKenzie Partners, Inc. is serving as RCM's proxy solicitor. The full text of RCM's letter to stockholders is included below: Dear Fellow RCM Stockholder: We have previously mailed you management's proxy materials for the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of RCM Technologies, Inc. to be held on December 5, 2013. Since this is an important meeting, we encourage you to read these materials carefully. As you are aware, a dissident stockholder group led by Legion Partners Asset Management, LLC is waging a proxy contest against RCM in an effort to have two of its handpicked nominees, Bradley S. Vizi and Roger H. Ballou, elected to your Board. As you decide how to vote at the upcoming 2013 Annual Meeting, we ask you to consider the following question: HOW DO THE QUALIFICATIONS OF RCM'S NOMINEE MICHAEL E.S. FRANKEL COMPARE WITH THE LEGION GROUP'S NOMINEE BRADLEY S. VIZI? Late last week, ISS Proxy Advisory Services, a leading independent proxy advisory firm, issued a recommendation to its clients that stockholders withhold their votes for Mr. Vizi's election to your Board at the 2013 Annual Meeting. In its report, ISS indicated that, between Michael E.S. Frankel, one of the two highly-qualified nominees recommended by your Board, and the Legion Group's Mr. Vizi, ISS believes that Mr. Frankel is the more "compelling" nominee for election to your Board. ISS' view on Mr. Frankel was also shared by the two other leading independent proxy advisory firms, Glass Lewis & Co. and Egan-Jones Proxy Services, who both recommended that stockholders reject the Legion Group's nominee Mr. Vizi and vote the WHITE proxy card to elect Mr. Frankel to your Board. When comparing the qualifications of Mr. Vizi and Mr. Frankel, all three leading independent proxy advisory firms have indicated that Mr. Frankel is the preferred candidate for election to your Board. In its report recommending that stockholders vote the WHITE proxy card in favor of the election of Mr. Frankel, Egan-Jones took note of "Mr. Vizi's apparent lack of public company board or public company management experience." Egan-Jones further indicated that it believes that "voting FOR the management ballot and the Company's nominees is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders" and that the election of the RCM Board's nominees will "enable the Company to continue to build on its strong record of increasing stockholder value." While all three of the leading proxy advisory firms have compared the backgrounds, qualifications and experiences of Mr. Frankel with those of Mr. Vizi and have determined that Mr. Frankel is the nominee who should be elected to your Board, you can see for yourself how these two nominees compare. We believe the choice is obvious and that you should vote the WHITE proxy card to elect Michael E.S. Frankel to your Board. RCM'S BOARD NOMINEE LEGION GROUP'S BOARD NOMINEE MICHAEL E.S.

SUPPORT A BOARD THAT HAS A DEMONSTRATED RECORD OF CREATING AND RETURNING VALUE TO STOCKHOLDERS BY ELECTING YOUR BOARD'S HIGHLY-QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED NOMINEES This proxy contest ultimately comes down to a simple choice – electing either: *RCM's highly-qualified and very experienced Board nominees who will allow RCM to continue to build on its strong record of increasing stockholder value by approximately 587% over the past five years (not including the $1.00 per share special cash dividend that was distributed to RCM stockholders in December 2012) and, since 2010, returning close to $20 million in value to our stockholders without compromising our strong balance sheet, financial flexibility and strategic growth trajectory; OR *The handpicked, problematic nominees of a dissident stockholder group led by Legion Partners Asset Management LLC, an activist investor, which has no significant direct economic interest in RCM. PROTECT THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE WHITE PROXY CARD TODAY To vote your shares, please vote TODAY by telephone, Internet or by signing, dating and returning the enclosed WHITE proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. You may also vote by phone or Internet by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. If you have any questions or need assistance in voting your WHITE proxy card, we encourage you to call our proxy solicitor, Mackenzie Partners, Inc., at (800)322-2885 (Toll Free) or at (212) 929-5500. Your Board strongly urges you NOT to sign or return any gold proxy card or voting instruction form that the Legion Group may send to you, even as a protest vote against the Legion Group or its nominees.Even a "WITHHOLD" vote with respect to the Legion Group's nominees on its gold proxy card will cancel any previously submitted WHITE proxy card. If you do sign a gold proxy card sent to you by the Legion Group, however, you have the right to change your vote by using the enclosed WHITE proxy card. Only the latest dated proxy card you vote will be counted. We appreciate your continued support as we work to protect your investment and continue creating value for all RCM stockholders. We look forward to communicating further with you in the coming weeks.

Customer Reviews

April 2015
This show is a must see. My husband was more than a little wary of attending as he is not generally interested in 'magic' shows. He was amazed, amused, and thoroughly enjoyed the show, as did I. The dinner provided was basic, however it was very tasty, and drinks were reasonably priced.The service received was excellent and the staff very polite. I would definitely recommend this show.
September 2014
This is the second time I have seen this show and again was totally amazed, one of the best illusionist going around.my six year grandson loved it. It is well worth seeing every time you go to Hawaii.
September 2014
Highly entertaining and fun for all ages, John Hirokawa put on a great show. Magic, humor and Polynesian dancing, what more could you ask for? The world-class fire dancing is something you will not want to miss. You will not be disappointed.

I can't believe I watched the very stage where Bruno Mars used to perform for front acts as MJ, right there! And the magic show itself was of course not less than mesmerizing! And all that hula dancing just made me wish I could sway my hips from north to south pole! :)

Smuggled Artifacts Returned to Egypt
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
LONDON, ENGLAND—According to a report in Ahram Online, 12 artifacts that were stolen and smuggled out of Egypt after the January 2011 revolution have been handed over to the Egyptian embassy in London by court order. The objects were spotted by members of Egypt's antiquities ministry who are tasked with repatriating stolen artifacts in lists of items up for auction. The recovered artifacts include a granite relief from the base of a statue of King Amenhotep III; a limestone head of a cobra beneath a sun disk and a lotus flower from the New Kingdom period; a bust of an unidentified man wearing a long wig from the Middle Kingdom period; a limestone head of a woman wearing a short wig; a New Kingdom relief depicting a person standing with his hands on his chest; and another relief painted with red and yellow pigments.

Dialing the Rabbi
Published: January 28, 1996
To the Editor:
As a Christian, a Quaker and a spiritual counselor who was born into a Jewish family and received a Jewish education, I find the article about Rabbi Evan C. Radler humiliating ("Spirituality as a Business: Rabbis Are Standing By," Earning It, Dec. 31).
Rabbi Radler is hardly the first to use an "800" number to advertise his services. When doctors and lawyers began to advertise several years ago, they lowered themselves to the gimmick mentality so pervasive in our culture. Can't what Rabbi Radler does stand on its own?
I am embarrassed for all of us who provide pastoral care.

Paul, Thank you, this info will come in handy. As I was using this method, 2 thoughts came to mind. 1.) Would I not get a more accurate reading if I omitted the shutter and just shined the light behind the front element? 2.) Is taking this measurement actually needed to do the recalculation of aperture? If you are using only the front element to acquire this diameter reading and I am trying to recalculate in order to only use the front element, then they would be the same reading. As the lens is stated as a 210mm f-5.6, that reading would be 37.5mm. So to recalculate I would divide 430mm by the same 37.5mm to equal 11.4666666, f-11-16 split. Which is the figures that Björn has suggested. It would also make sense to me in the fact that I am doubling the focal length of the same lens, therefore I should double the F-stop (5.6x2=11 roughly). Is this true or just for this application?
Björn, tack så mycket (just a guess), you answered the next question as to what that really means. F5.6 marker becomes F11 on the shutter. Now I guess I will need to go read that sticky about calculating bellows extension since they are basically all the way extended. Something tells me I am going to need a bright sunny day for this.

Well for starters, my name is Michael. I'm 27 and living on my own out in Independence. I consider myself to be an outgoing, friendly person that likes meeting new people and exploring new places. I absolutely love to travel, I would be doing it all the time if it was possible. My dream job is being a landscape photographer and seeing every last bit of this planet I can while I'm still on it. I have a one and a half year old son who is amazing and means the world to me, and hes the only reason I'm still in missouri. (not that I don't like it here)

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I work full time at a call center that helps locate colleges for people looking to go to school. I love my job and it's quite nice to sit in a cubicle after spending 10 years working in the service/retail industry. I've got my associates degree from Longview community college and I plan on getting my bachelors in either IT or photography.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Can't say I've ever asked anyone this question so I'll just have to wing this one. I'm a quarter Italian so I can be a bit loud at times, but I can appreciate the silence, it doesn't have to be awkward. I will probably attempt to make you laugh at some point in the conversation.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
My favorite books are Dune, Game of thrones, enders game, harry potter, lord of the rings, neverwhere, house of leaves and anything by chuck palahniuk. I'm a big fan of just about every type of music besides country. I used to help book shows at a local music venue, needless to say I'm a big fan of live music. My favorite movies are fight club, lucky number slevin, seven psychopaths, snatch, requiem for a dream, memento, oldboy and so many more. As far as TV shows go, I'm a big fan of breaking bad. I also enjoy game of thrones a lot and archer is hilarious.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
My family.
My son.
My friends.
Everything else is just a plus.
My son.
My friends.
Everything else is just a plus.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
What I'm going to do after getting off work.
Music music music.
Music music music.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Either hanging out with my roomate/friends at home or out and about in Westport.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I don't know, ask me?
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
You want to? Haha.

Kaman headed back to LA, this time with LakersThe Associated Press | July 09,2013LOS ANGELES Chris Kaman is headed back to Los Angeles, this time with the Lakers.
The 7-foot free agent center who spent the first eight years of his career with the Clippers said Monday on Twitter that he had agreed to join the Lakers. The deal is reportedly for one year at $3.2 million.
I am going to be going back to LA and its to play for the Lakers! Kaman wrote. I am excited about this move and cant wait to play!
Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak later issued a statement through the team saying Los Angeles has been negotiating with Kaman and intends to sign him.
It will be Kamans second straight season on a one-year contract. He had an $8 million deal to be the starter in Dallas last season but spent more than half of every game on coach Rick Carlisles bench. He spent the previous season with New Orleans after he was part of the trade that sent Chris Paul to the Clippers.
The Lakers grabbed Kaman after Dwight Howard chose not to return and agreed to a deal with the Rockets.
The 31-year-old Kaman started 52 of his 66 games with the Mavericks, but averaged the fewest minutes of his career because he struggled on the defensive end in Carlisles system. He scored 10.5 points per game but tied a career low from his rookie season at 5.6 rebounds and had his lowest average in blocks at 0.8.
Kaman was an All-Star with the Clippers in 2009-10, when he averaged a career-high 18.5 points. He has career averages of 11.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.MORE IN Wire Sports

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Volvo S60
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.6
The 2012 S60 adds dose of style and pizzazz to Volvo's reputation for class-leading safety. While it competes with some formidable opponents such as the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the 2012 Volvo S60 offers a score of performance and safety features at an attractive price. With athletic driving characteristics, standard 6-speed transmissions and the choice of an efficient 5-cylinder engine or powerful turbocharged inline-6, the S60 proves that safety and dynamic performance are not mutually exclusive.
If you are looking for a premium midsize sedan with exceptional safety, athleticism and a sleek design that refuses to blend in with the crowd, the Volvo S60 is a smart choice.
Following a major redesign in 2011, the Volvo S60 adds two new model grades to the lineup for 2012, including an entry-level T5 trim with a turbocharged 5-cylinder engine and an R-Design variant boasting a 325-horsepower turbocharged engine and a sportier design. The 2012 S60 also adds a rear-seat entertainment system with headrest-integrated LCD displays to the list of options.
Driving Impressions Seeking to increase the S60's visceral appeal, Volvo engineers created a chassis, suspension and steering system designed to give cars like the 3 Series and A4 a run for their...money. The front suspension is McPherson strut and the rear a multi-link, but it is the tuning that sets the S60 apart from other Volvo sedans in the handling department. The front struts have thicker piston rods than the larger S80 sedan, the bushings are stiffer and the springs are both shorter and stiffer, resulting in more ability to handle lateral loads. These efforts are most notable in the standard version of the three chassis setups available, which Volvo calls "Dynamic." Those seeking a gentler, boulevard ride should opt for the no-extra-cost "Touring" suspension, while those seeking a more custom-tailored driving dynamic will prefer the T6 model's available 3-mode FOUR-C variable chassis system. The road-hugging Haldex all-wheel drive system is standard-issue on the T6 and R-Design trims while the entry-level T5 gets front-wheel drive. The result of the engineering efforts is a level of fun-to-drive that exceeds any Volvo sedan we've driven. We had the opportunity to drive it on dry pavement, wet pavement, rain-slick gravel roads and even a racetrack, and in all situations the S60 was predictable, stable and unflappable. Braking is sure, traction is never an issue, and the steering is precise.
Rear-Seat Entertainment
Whether you're aiming to entertain younger passengers or sufficiently distract a backseat driver, the available rear-seat entertainment system's dual DVD players, 7-inch displays and wireless headphones will do the trick.
Front Camera System
The front-grille-mounted camera that offers a 180-degree field of view is especially effective in helping prevent accidents when emerging from limited-vision areas like a parking garage.
The beauty of the S60's interior design is in its simplicity. Discernible controls combined with a contemporary layout make for an upscale, user-friendly cockpit. Materials are top-notch and comparable to the offerings from the category's heavy-hitters. Steering-wheel-mounted switches plus redundant controls located on the center stack put you in charge of the infotainment system and its Sensus connectivity interface, which includes a 7-inch high-resolution display. The comfortable, ergonomic front seats provide excellent support while the rear seats feature an uncommonly supportive design with aggressive side bolstering along with ample leg room for rear-seat passengersExterior
Arguably the best-looking Volvo sedan ever built, the S60's charismatic style blends modern automotive architecture with a hint of Volvo's unmistakable, classic design. The T5 model rides on standard 17-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels while the T6 and R-Design wear18-inch alloys. In addition to 10 exterior color choices, the 2012 Volvo S60 offers a variety of distinguishing style add-ons, highlights of which include a Sport Appearance Package with unique front and rear bumper accents and door sills, a pair of stainless steel exhaust tips and a performance-based rear spoiler.
On the safety front, all 2012 Volvo S60 trims feature "City Safety," which helps prevent low-speed rear-end collisions, Ready Alert Brakes that prepare for panic braking situations by moving the brake pads closer to the rotors, Fading Brake Support to help diminish the risk of brake fade caused by excessive heat, and power-folding rear headrests for optimal visibility when backing up. Of course, as a luxury vehicle the S60 is fitted with a wide variety of convenience and comfort features, these include a USB port with iPod connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming capability, a 7-inch "Sensus" infotainment screen and a power driver's seat with 3-position memory.
The headline-grabber in S60 safety options is "Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake." The camera- and radar-enabled system identifies pedestrians in front of the car and, if necessary, applies the car's full braking power to avoid a potentially fatal collision. Pedestrian Detection isn't the only high-tech safety feature the new S60 offers, either. Driver Alert Control helps determine if you're too tired or too distracted to pilot the car properly, and Blind Spot Information System helps you avoid colliding with vehicles that are beside you in your blind spots. The S60 also offers niceties like parking sensors, a rear backup camera and adaptive cruise control that can detect the distance and speed of the vehicle ahead and adjust the S60's speed accordingly. The top-of-the-line 12-speaker audio system features a digital 5x130-watt amplifier with circuits from Sweden's Anaview, Dolby Digital in combination with Dolby Pro Logic II Surround, and MultEQ from Audyssey Laboratories.
The 2012 Volvo S60 offers a variety of power plants to suit your performance and budget requirements. The available inline 6-cylinder engine offers less than 3,000 cc of displacement, but with turbocharging, it whirs out 300 horsepower in T6 form while the high-performance R-Design model pumps out 325 horsepower. All three S60 engines possess sufficient low-end torque for brisk acceleration. A bonus is that both the 5- and 6-cylinder engines require only "regular" grade gasoline, and the base T5's fuel economy (20 mpg city/30 mpg highway) is laudable in the luxury class.
2.5-liter turbocharged inline-5 cylinder
250 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm
266 lb-ft of torque at 1,800-4,800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/30 mpg
3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 cylinder
300 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm
325 lb-ft of torque @ 2,100-4,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/26 mpg

Pros: "stunning good look,competent handling, comfy seats"
Cons: "gear knob is prone to scratches"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"This car is surprisingly fun to drive. It does not handle as well as the 3 series but it's definitely handles better than the A4 that I test drove. The sport suspension and the 19"inch wheels make the ride a bit stiff for my taste but the seats are phenomenally comfortable. I was not care too much about the adaptive cruise control until I drove from L.A. to Las Cruses (12 hours drive) and it made the long distance driving so much easier that I do not think I can live without it anymore. I have the 2015 model so the lumbar support are manual and hard to reach. The translucid gear knob is easily scratched. The infotainment system does not have the connected app features. I probably should have waited for the 2015.5 model."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 6
"Quality has gone down big. Many things are cheapened and if you care about cars you will see them. We own more than one Volvo and our 2008 S40 is superior as far as quality, reliability, brakes, finishes and materials, lighting. The computer and infotainment systems are too slow to start and the park assist will be no good if it takes it 30 seconds to start. The S60 is burning through coolant starting at 4000 miles... What is going on guys? Ford and Kia are becoming superior to your quality! Could have been a great car if it did not come with so low key of important components like brakes!!! Not a great value for the money and some poor engineering aspects. Disapointed"

Goldman Sachs told clients in a note on Friday the market will go sideways the rest of the year.» Read More
Gold prices rallied 14 percent over the last two weeks as stocks declined — but the precious metal is down for the quarter. But Dan Smith of Standard Chartered remains bullish.
The Dow, Nasdaq and S&P are down (as of this writing); oil, gasoline and natural gas are up. The dollar is down against the euro and the British pound. So where is gold headed? Up, says BlackRock's Evy Hambro.
Precious metals still have plenty of upside, two strategists told CNBC. Evaristo Stanziale, senior vice president at SCS Commodities, and Mark Hansen, director of trading at CPM Group, offered their insights into gold and other safe-haven commodities.
Cramer makes the call on viewers' favorite stocks.
Precious metals are about to jump. So says Peter McGuire, managing director at Commodity Warrants Australia. He offered his commodities insights to CNBC.
For the week ending Friday, August 22, 2008, the U.S. major Indices fell for the week on the unknown future of mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, downbeat home construction July data, and soaring producer prices. The NASDAQ Composite performed the worst for the week, declining 1.54%, its steepest decline since Independence Day week. However, Friday was a positive day for the markets helped by a welcome speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and a pull back in the price of crude. The Dow had three days of triple-digit point gains & losses, netting to finish almost flat for the week.
Banks are a big story but they're not the only story. Following are the Fast Money tech trades and more!
The recent correction in gold and oil prices might not be completely over. Stefan Risse, chief market strategist at CMC Markets, told CNBC why he thinks investors should be wary.
Gold demand is soaring. George Milling-Stanley, manager of gold market analysis at World Gold Council, offered CNBC some fun facts about the "6,000-year-old hedge" -- and why he wishes he could buy more of it.
Cramer recommended stocks he thinks could see a gain going into the Republican National Convention.
Following are the week's biggest winners and losers. Find out why shares of T. Rowe Price and Honda popped while General Motors and Costco dropped.
After the close, Washington Mutual reported earnings notably below expectations. The bad news is that there is more credit deterioration, which is creating more provisions for losses. The good news is the company felt they had "sufficient capital", with $40 b of available liquidity at the end of the quarter, and that 2008 would be the peak year of loss provisioning.
Oil's trend lower has whipped up buying in stocks and could do the same Wednesday, if a string of major blue chips' earnings don't disappoint before the opening bell.
Lockheed Martin won a potential $3.6 billion contract to start building a new generation of global positioning satellites that will boost accuracy for worldwide users, the Air Force said Thursday.

The Lightning Round is extended in this CNBC.com exclusive feature.
This fluid-management stock is the gem of Cramer's "new tech" plays.

Bound Brits
The Bound Brits anthology is a collection of long short stories from Total-E-Bound. Authors include Portia Da Costa, Dakota Rebel, Barbara Huffert, Lisabet Sarai, Sierra Cartwright and Cassidy Ryan.
The rationale behind this anthology is blindingly obvious: British people are intrinsically sexy. I know this is true because I've taken up shaving most mornings and have admired my intrinsically sexy body whilst removing the manly tufts of bristle from my square and kissable jaw.
Of course, to properly admire my intrinsically sexy body, it helps if I'm naked. That way I can enjoy the sight of my broad and manly chest, the six-pack of my well-toned abs and the stupendous manliness of my masculine male equipment. Strangely though, the college have asked me to be a little more discreet if I'm shaving before the start of a lecture.
However, I digress.
British people are inherently sexy and that fact is celebrated by this exceptional anthology. The addition of a little bondage, which can also be construed as being sexy, makes this book the perfect companion for anyone who likes their erotica to blend the sophisticated with the saucy—the British with the bondage.
Portia Da Costa shows how sexy Bound Brits can be with "The Retreat." "The Retreat" follows the story of Sarah and Ben as they make themselves comfortable in a country house hotel. Portia's characters are quintessentially British: refined, sophisticated and (most importantly) bonking like bunnies when they get behind the bedroom door.
They are also quintessentially British in that they enjoy a little kink in their relationship but are too reserved to openly admit these tastes at the beginning of the story. Watching Sarah and Ben come to terms with their needs is almost as satisfying as reading Portia Da Costa's well-turned prose. Portia Da Costa has a deserved reputation for blending erotica and romance into stories that are subtly sensitive and seriously sexy. The Retreat is another shining example of her ability to combine sensitivity and sexual excitement with a narrative that is superbly compelling.
Equally compelling is Barbara Huffert's "All Roads Lead to Ripon." This story is set firmly in Britain's most romantic location: Yorkshire. Yorkshire, for those unfamiliar with this most beautiful part of the world, is famous for its wild and untamed beauty and deliciously desirable natives.
Did I mention that I was born in Yorkshire?
Emily Bronte exploited these characteristic features of Yorkshire and Yorkshire-folk when she wrote Wuthering Heights. Barbara Huffert exploits it with the same descriptive skill as her heroine, Jane, is pursued from Harrogate through to Scarborough, Knaresborough and Ripon.
Again, this story is as romantic as it is erotic. The sexual tension is built on the intrigue of the central characters getting to know each other as well as getting to know themselves. There's a fine line between a stalker and an ardent admirer pursuing the object of his desires. Barbara Huffert treads this line carefully and skilfully as Jane is wooed and won by her mysterious and masterful admirer.
Lisabet Sarai's "Getaway Girl" also focuses on the romance of being British and being bound and gagged. The majority of people reading this will be aware that Lisabet Sarai is a brilliant wordsmith and highly accessible author. Her novels have received deserved critical acclaim and she creates strong characters in vivid locations.
One of the first Lisabet Sarai stories I read was set in north-east Thailand. After reading "Butterfly in Erotic Travel Tales 2," I felt as though I had visited the country and almost insisted that my passport should be stamped to prove that I'd been there.
"Getaway Girl" is equally well written and beautifully descriptive. Peg, the heroine of "Getaway Girl" is introduced to the reader as a kidnap victim. She is already bound and gagged and at the mercy of a rather naughty man. But, as Peg finds out, being at the mercy of a naughty man isn't always a bad thing. Lisabet Sarai, with her skilful way of describing scene, sense and sensuality, makes this point perfectly clear as the story unfolds and reaches its glorious climax.

An impending storm is coming. The cloud is looming large on the horizon. Cloud computing is one of the most talked about technology and business models for enterprise computing in recent history. Is it ALL hype? What is cloud computing? Why is everybody talking about it? What does it mean for the IT operations? A recent Forrester Research survey of 962 enterprises, 25% are budgeting for, implementing or already using cloud computing from external service providers. 22% are budgeting for, building or using internal clouds. So while there is an enormous amount of hype surrounding cloud computing, certainly more than for any technology in a long time, it's hardly a fad, and many feel cloud services will become more and more prevalent in the future.

Type 89, and the square holders, was a very short lived film choice from Polaroid. I still have a sales sheet and free tryout coupon from 2003 for this. If you find any, it will be old stock. There was little cost advantage, which I why I think it was not adopted by many photographers. Best to stick to 669, or 690, and the larger and more common holders.

You have an artistic project that you've always wanted to make, but it's going to take money? Your play, movie, CD or book project will need the funds that you don't have. What to do? Get a loan? Look for a benefactor? How about . asking hundreds, thousands of people on the Internet to chip in, starting at $20 a pop? It's becoming more popular these days - dubbed "crowdfunding," many new and interesting things are being financed through sites such as Kickstarter.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Zach Braff, the director of the hit indie comedy "Garden State," has turned to the Kickstarter site to fund his new project. Braff is asking for $3.1 million for his new film "Wish I Was Here."
In a related story, the Jamaican bobsled team raised more than $180,000 in donations, including $54,000 from Indiegogo, another crowdfunding site.
A beautiful gift for the newborn -- go here --
What are supposed major talents doing asking for money from those outside of their fields?
Crowdfunding sites usually reward donors with a sense of self-satisfaction, while the Web sites take around a five percent cut. In spite of being little more than asking for handouts - albeit virtually, and online - people are responding positively to such fundraisers.
"Crowdfunding is growing very rapidly," Ethan Mollick, an assistant professor of management at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, says. The amount spent on crowdfunding projects exploded by 81 percent from the year before to $2.7 billion in 2012. The total for 2013 is expected to be around $5.1 billion, with no end to the growth in sight.
While Kickstarter is by far the industry leader in crowdfunding sites, followed by Indiegogo, there are plenty of niche sites out there as well, such as appbackr for apps, crowdrise for charities and even offbeater for "adult" projects.
It must be noted that most projects don't reach their fundraising goals. Kickstarter currently lists 55,370 successfully funded projects, compared to 71,664 that didn't make it. The catch: If the sites fail to reach their funding goals -- donors don't have to pay up.
However -- when projects DO succeed and backers don't get their rewards, the winter of our discontent begins. Overall, 75 percent of fundraisers are late delivering rewards, although the ones that fail to deliver altogether is less than one percent, mostly because the crowd ends up policing projects that look fishy.
Many see this as their way of supporting the arts. "It's not an investment. I'm supporting a creative endeavor," Michelle Jones from Louisville, Kentucky says. "If you are a Kickstarter supporter, and you view it as an investment, then you are probably going to be disappointed."

Email scammers are using the Arab Spring to lure people into giving away money in exchange for bogus millions in assets from deposed leaders.
October 5, 2011 12:42 by Reuters
Scam emails supposedly from close aides or relatives of deposed Arab leaders are offering a huge chunk of their assets if recipients hand over their bank details or pay a fee up front.
"The quantity of attacks of this sort that we detect is enormous," said Chester Wisniewski, a senior security adviser at Sophos, which uses sophisticated spam filters to identify scam emails.
In one email, a scammer pretends to be the wife of deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. She says she has managed to escape to Tunisia and is desperately looking for a "reliable partner" to transfer $25 million of Gaddafi's funds.
"I am very sick of these wars. People are dying every day."
"I am offering 35% and you will also help me invest 65% of my share into any lucrative business in your country … but if not please keep it safe for me until everything goes quiet," the email reads.
One internet con is called advance-fee fraud or the 419 Scam, after an article in the Criminal Code in Nigeria where the trick originated. It often works by promising recipients huge sums of money on the condition that an advance fee is paid.
Other emails try to entice people to give out their full bank details out of recipients, supposedly so funds can be transferred into the account. Often the scammers drain the account of money.
"The 'story' of a deposed ruler trying to get money out of the country sounds very plausible and in addition it relates to current events which gives it more credit," said Avi Turiel, who works at Internet Security company Commtouch.
"It allows the scammers to say something new – as opposed to the traditional scams which people might be familiar with."
Common ruses include pretending to be a businessman who needs to transfer large sums because they are being audited by the government or bank employees who need a proxy to transfer funds.
After Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigned from office in early February, the scammers pretended to be members of Mubarak's family, his accountant and family lawyers.
An email from a fraudster pretending to be Mubarak's wife, Suzanne, appealed to recipients' conscience.
She had "been thrown into a state of antagonism, confusion, humiliation, frustration and hopelessness by the present military leadership of the Egyptian Liberation Organization … As a woman that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the moment".
The phony Suzanne Mubarak writes that she is looking for foreign assistance to entrust over a million dollars as "the Muslim community has no regards for women".
After Gaddafi went into hiding, a surge of similar scam emails appeared. They purport to come from members of the Gaddafi family who are trying to move money out of the country.
"We've certainly been seeing a lot of these (for want of a better word) Arab Spring 419 scams since…

Wow! I agree this is a super easy and tasty summer pie. You can also "skinny" it some with fat-free condensed milk and Cool Whip. I also liked crushing the berries in my hand before folding them in.
Super easy! I had everything on hand. I did use a baked pie shell instead of the graham crust. I liked the combination of the lime and raspberry. Very fresh tasting. I could see using other combinations of juice and fruit.
