Remember when it was cool to be an Arsenal fan? Do you remember when Arsenal were setting the bench mark for English football? Gone are the days of the 'Invincibles', Arsenal have become a stepping-stone for players. Everyone seems to think the club cares only about financial profits, rather than trophies.
It has been seven years and two months since Patrick Vieira's penalty sealed Arsenal's tenth FA Cup win. It was a magnificent victory for Wenger and his boys as they defeated their arch rivals Manchester United - ironically it marked the end of Arsenal's trophy haul (for now anyway).
Arsenal's ex-captain Vieira led the exodus of players after completing his move to Juventus. Other stars were to follow suit including Thierry Henry to FC Barcelona, Robert Pires to Villareal, and Ashley Cole to Chelsea. All of these stars have won major trophies since leaving Arsenal. Is the pasture always greener away from the Emirates?
Arsenal have simply become a selling club, but it's time this policy changes or it will spell the end of one of England's biggest clubs. It's unfair to say Arsenal have not invested in the transfer market, but the truth is they have not signed any experienced world-class players in the past few years.
They have stuck with Wenger's policy to purchase talented youngsters and turn them into world-class players but as soon as they become established internationals, they leave in search for greener pastures.
Samir Nasir is the perfect example. He was signed by Arsenal from Marseille for £11m. He was relatively unknown but evidently talented. He became one of Wenger's star players and a vital part of the Arsenal midfield. He left Arsenal for £25m to join Manchester City and has already won a league title in his first season at the Etihad.
Arsenal's ex-captain Robin van Persie joined Manchester United where he is now the Premier League top scorer and is leading the Red Devils to another league title. RVP was instrumental last season, scoring 30 goals in 38 games for Wenger's side. It was important for Arsenal to keep 'RVP' if they planned to challenge for titles this season, especially after the addition of Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, but failure to do so has resulted in a scrap for Champions League football next season.
Santi Cazorla has been added to the midfield and Jack Wilshere has been menacing, but those two players cannot lead Arsenal to any silverware on their own. They need to buy another centre-back but mediocre players like Per Mertesacker, Johan Djourou and Abou Diaby need to be moved on first.
On the verge of elimination in the Champions League, eliminated by Blackburn in the FA Cup and most shockingly, humbled by League 2 minnows Bradford City in the Capital One Cup, surely it is time to part company with their greatest manager yet?
I believe Jose Mourinho will be the perfect candidate to replace Wenger because his enthusiasm for the game and his ability to attract the biggest names in world football will take Arsenal back to the summit of the English game.

A Role Model Story?Rocha, Vera; Praag, Mirjam van (Bonn, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Both organizational and sociological approaches in entrepreneurship research highlight the importance of social context in shaping i ndividual preferences for entrepreneurship. An influential contextual factor that has not been studied in entrepreneurship research is one's boss at work. Do entrepreneurial bosses contribute to their employees' decisions to become entrepreneurs themselves? Using Danish register data of newly founded firms and their entrepreneurs and employees between 2003 and 2012, and employing methods that allow causal inferences, we show that entrepreneurial bosses indeed affect their employees' future entrepreneurship choices, especially if both boss and employee are female. We investigate two alternative underlying mechanisms that may shape the (female) boss' influence on (female) workers' entrepreneurship decisions. Our results consistently suggest that entrepreneurial bosses may act as role models for the entrepreneurship activities of their employees, especially between pairs of female bosses and female employees. We do not find any evidence on female bosses acting as "queen bees" at the workplace. Female entrepreneurial bosses may, thus, act as a lever to reducing the gender gaps in entrepreneurship rates.

Three Essays on Entrepreneurial Behavior and Cognition Under Risk and UncertaintyZichella, Giulio (Frederiksberg, 2017)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Research in decision making and cognition has a long tradition in economics and management and represents a substantial stream of research in entrepreneurship. Risk and uncertainty are two characteristics of the decision environment. It has long been believed that entrepreneurs who need to make business judgments in such environments are less risk- and uncertainty-averse than non-entrepreneurs. However, this theoretical prediction has not been supported by empirical evidence. Instead, entrepreneurs have been found to be more susceptible to cognitive biases and heuristics. These cognitive mechanisms, which represent deviations from rational judgment, help entrepreneurs simplify their decision-making and carry out decisions in a timely manner. As a result, a growing stream of research in entrepreneurship focuses on the cognitive differences between entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs when faced with risk and uncertainty. The purpose of this dissertation is to contribute to this latter stream of research by examining how individuals differ in their cognition and behaviors in situations of risk and uncertainty in a controlled environment. More specifically, the dissertation explores how entrepreneurs and nonentrepreneurs differ in their behavioral susceptibility to prior outcomes, increasing degrees of risk, risk perception, and predictive information. The empirical analyses are based on data from a laboratory experiment that I designed and conducted in October 2014. Individuals participating in the experiment were selected based on their entrepreneurial intentions, with a high degree of comparability and a limited impact of prior entrepreneurial experience. The data include measures of behavior in situations of risk and uncertainty with real monetary incentives, risk perception, and a number of individual characteristics, including personality traits, cognitive biases, and demographics. In the first essay, I explore how individuals with and without entrepreneurial intentions differ in terms of risk behavior by testing their sensitivity to prior monetary outcomes and an increasing degree of risk. In the second essay, I explore whether individuals with and without entrepreneurial intentions differ in their risk perceptions by examining how they focus their attention on different aspects of risk, specifically either possible monetary outcomes or the probabilities of obtaining these outcomes. In the third and final essay, I test individuals' sensitivity to a lack of predictive information when making choices under uncertainty. In sum, the dissertation contributes to a more nuanced understanding of entrepreneurial cognition in situations of risk and uncertainty by illustrating the direct link between cognition and behavior. Since the dissertation focuses on individuals with limited entrepreneurial experience, it makes important practical contributions with respect to novice entrepreneurs and their cognition in cases of risk and uncertainty. As a result, it provides important insights into how entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs differ from a cognitive perspective. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9507

Resume: We study possible motivations for co-entrepenurial couples to start up a joint firm, using a sample of 1,069 Danish couples that established a joint enterprise between 2001 and 2010. We compare their pre-entry characteristics, firm performance and post-dissolution private and financial outcomes with a selected set of comparable firms and couples. We find evidence that couples often establish a business together because one spouse ? most commonly the female ? has limited outside opportunities in the labor market. However, the financial benefits for each of the spouses, and especially the female, are larger in co-entrepreneurial firms, both during the life of the business and post-dissolution. The start-up of co-entrepreneurial firms seems therefore a sound in-vestment in the human capital of both spouses as well as in the reduction of income inequality in the household. We find no evidence of non-pecuniary benefits or costs of co-entrepreneurship URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8961

Resume: We argue that formal schooling and wage-work experience are complementary types of human capital for entrepreneurs. Strong empirical support is found for this hypothesis as the interaction term between schooling and actual wage-work experience enters positively and significantly in a Mincer equation, whereas the effect of schooling in the absence of wage-work experience is insignificant. These results are extremely robust towards more flexible specifications, including fixed-effects estimations dealing with unobserved heterogeneity. For wage workers, the interaction term is negligible, confirming that the complementarity is a distinct characteristic of entrepreneurial human capital. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7990

Empirical Investigations into Entrepreneurial Activities of Hackers and MakersHalbinger, Maria (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: New ventures are central to an economy's welfare and substantial promoters of technological change and innovation. Extant research has identified individuals and their role in entrepreneurial processes as the core pillars of entrepreneurship. This PhD dissertation aims to refine our understanding of the fundamental relationship between individuals and their entrepreneurial activities. In order to empirically test the hypotheses built, the analyses are based on a unique dataset on individuals in hacker- and makerspaces, i.e. open communities with physical workspaces where individuals with a common interest in technology, computing, science, art and hacking culture can meet, socialize and collaborate. Given that hackers and makers engage in various entrepreneurial activities, this empirical setting offers crucial benefits when analyzing entrepreneurial individuals. The thesis combines the literatures on psychology and entrepreneurship and consists of three essays. The first essay focuses on the early activities in the entrepreneurial process and depicts how the individual's creativity as well as different forms of motivation influence different process activities including the discovery and exploitation of opportunities. The second essay consists of a longitudinal analysis and examines how the identity of the founder relates to firm exit. The third essay applies computational linguistic tools on haiku poems written by hackers to investigate how self-confidence, social awareness and social influence are related with entrepreneurial experience, defined by the number of times the individual has been involved in new firm establishments. Overall, the thesis aims to contribute to the field of entrepreneurship by providing empirical evidence on the individual-level factors that shape entrepreneurial activities.

A Review and Future Directions for ResearchV. Christensen, Patrizia; P. Ulhøi, John; Madsen, Henning (Århus, 2004)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The main focus of this paper is on individuals and/or groups of individuals who create or seize a new technology-based or knowledge-intensive entrepreneurial opportunity. For this purpose, a theoretical framework for studying entrepreneurship, using financial, social and human capital, including social ties and networks, has been developed. Research themes or questions concerning how social ties and entrepreneurs' background affect the funding, launching and subsequent development of a new venture in high-tech or knowledge-intensive sectors are outlined. Also of interest here is how the presence or absence of important environmental factors, such as financing opportunities and involvement in a technology business incubator, can affect the success or failure of entrepreneurial efforts. After reviewing the existing literature, the paper concludes by presenting future research challenges and practical implications for organisations and individuals willing to take advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8128

Resume: Based on a number of in-depth case studies, the aim of this paper is to elucidate some of the key internal and external mechanisms influencing the foundation and early growth of high-tech and knowledge-intensive entrepreneurial ventures. Following a detailed sampling procedure, a number of semi-structured interviews were carried out between August 2000 and June 2001. The firms were chosen among those established during the last three years both inside and outside Danish business incubators. The sampling was carried out in such a way as to include both male and female entrepreneurs. Our preliminary findings indicate that in the early phases of the business, prior social relations between members of the entrepreneurial teams play an important role in both the recruiting of key employees and managers and in the success of the entrepreneurial venture. Moreover, the weak ties resulting from the personal and/or business experience of at least one of the members of the entrepreneurial team appear to enhance the likelihood of the firm being "born global".

Resume: In this book chapter I present a multidimensional entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) scale. The scale builds on three established ESE-scales, but the reliability of it is improved compared to the original three scales as the highly discipline-specific jargon is transformed to a more neutral wording of the items. The scale has been tested in a large scale survey including 445 students from twelve different programmes at three universities in Denmark and one university in Sweden. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) has been applied in order to investigate the multidimensionality of the items in the scale, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) has been applied to investigate its convergent, discriminatory and nomological validity. The results demonstrate support for a multidimensional ESE-scale with high predictive validity regarding entrepreneurial behaviours and with high reliability as the items are comprehensible to respondents, regardless if they have entrepreneurial experience or not. The scale can thus be used in programme evaluations that include control groups or other type of individuals that lack entrepreneurial experience. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8565

From opportunity discovery to judgmentFoss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (København, 2008)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Entrepreneurship has become a fast-growing subfield in management research, and is increasingly appearing in economics, finance, and even law. We survey a number of approaches to entrepreneurship in the economics and management literatures, and argue that modern research in this area need to be focused around ideas from Austrian economics and Frank Knight on entrepreneurial judgment. We critically discuss the recent opportunity discovery literature in management, and argue that it has partially misunderstood the Austrian origins of the theory, and fails to ade-quately distinguish between opportunity identification and opportunity exploitation.

Resume: Entrepreneurship is ultimately about the arrangement of resources into productive activi-ties. Much of the entrepreneurship literature, however, has focused on the demand side of the market. While resource heterogeneity is a feature of many theories of the firm, such theories are not built on a systematic theory of capital. We show how the approach to capital developed by the Austrian school of economics provides a natural bridge between theory of entrepreneurship and the theory of the firm. We refine Austrian capital theory by defining capital heterogeneity in terms of subjectively perceived attributes, the func-tions, characteristics, and uses of capital assets. Such attributes are not given, but have to be created or discovered by means of entrepreneurial action. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7443

Resume: The study of entrepreneurship and the study of economic organizing lack contact. In fact, the modern theory of the firm virtually ignores entrepreneurship, while the literature on entrepreneurship often sees little value in the economic theory of the firm. In contrast, we argue in this chapter that entrepreneurship theory and the theory of the firm can be usefully integrated, and that doing so would improve both bodies of theory. Adding the entrepreneur to the theory of the firm provides a dynamic view that the overly static analysis of firm organizing cannot support. Moreover, adding the firm to the study of the entrepreneur provides important clues to how we can understand entrepreneurship. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8250

Resume: In Knight"s (1921) view, firm organization, profit and loss, and entrepreneurship are inex tricably linked. These phenomena arise as an embodiment, a result, and a cause, respectively, of commercial experimentation a view founded on a particular ontology of the world as essentially open - ended and not deterministic (1921: chapter 7). Few econom ists have followed Knight in linking the firm, profit and loss, and entrepreneurship, 1 especially from his philosophical starting points. And yet, as we noted in the beginning of this book, there are many good reasons to treat the theory of entrepreneurship and the theory of the firm together. Such a synthesis informs many foundational ques tions in economics, business strategy, and public policy: Can we meaningfully address entrepreneurship without considering the organization in which such entrepreneurship takes place? How does the structure of the firm influence entrepreneurial actions? Ho w does firm organization (e.g., the allocation of residual income and control rights) affect the quantity and quality of entrepreneurial ideas? And so on. To answer theses, we need to bring the theory of the firm and entrepreneurship literatures into close contact. And yet, the important connections between these two bodies of literature have been largely overlooked. We seek to identify and establish some of those connections in this and the next two chapters.

Any Gains from Trade?Foss, Nicolai J.; Klein, Peter G. (København, 2004)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Though they developed in isolation, the theory of entrepreneurship and the economic theory of the firm can be usefully integrated. In particular, the concept of entrepreneurship as judgment associated with Knight (1921) and some Austrian school economists aligns naturally with the theory of the firm. Because judgment cannot be purchased on the market, the entrepreneur needs a firm — a set of alienable assets he controls — to carry out his function. We show how this notion of judgment illuminates key themes in the modern theory of the firm (existence, boundaries, and internal organization). In our approach, resource uses are not data, but are created as entrepreneurs envision new ways of using assets to produce final goods. The entrepreneur's problem is aggravated by the fact that capital assets are heterogeneous. Asset ownership allows the entrepreneur to experiment with novel combinations of heterogeneous assets. The boundaries of the firm, as well as aspects of internal organization, may also be understood as responses to entrepreneurial processes of experimentation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7309

Resume: Although they have developed very much in isolation from each other, we argue the theory of entrepreneurship and the economic theory of the firm are closely related, and each has much to learn from the other. In particular, the notion of entrepreneurship as judgment associated with Frank Knight and some Austrian school economists aligns naturally with the theory of the firm. In this perspective, the entrepreneur needs a firm, that is, a set of alienable assets he controls, to carry out his function. We further show how this notion of judgment adds to the key themes in the modern theory of the firm (i.e., the existence, boundaries, and internal organization). In our approach, resource uses are not data, but are created as entrepreneurs envision new ways of using assets to produce goods. The entrepreneur's decision problem is aggravated by the fact that capital assets are heterogeneous. Asset ownership facilitates experimenting entrepreneurship: Acquiring a bundle of property rights is a low cost means of carrying out commercial experimentation. In this approach, the existence of the firm may be understood in terms of limits to the market for judgment relating to novel uses of heterogeneous assets; and the boundaries of the firm, as well as aspects of internal organization, may be understood as being responsive to entrepreneurial processes of experimentation.

Resume: Entrepreneurs and investors alike rely on prior entrepreneurial experience and talent as vital clues for anticipating entrepreneurial performance. However, the extent to which entrepreneurial expertise accumulates and the extent to which entrepreneurial talent can be defined and measured remain open for debate. Therefore, the studies of this dissertation have been conducted with the aim of advancing our understanding of how entrepreneurial experience and entrepreneurial talent relate to entrepreneurial performance and behavior. Each study offers insights into how entrepreneurial expertise accumulates and is therefore of relevance to multiple stakeholders URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9597

Olaison, Lena (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This PhD dissertation is based on four published articles. It operates within the processual view of entrepreneurship studies (Steyaert, 1997), which draws on process philosophy to develop research strategies (Sørensen, 2005). The research has been guided by two strategies for understanding entrepreneurship: 'moving' (e.g. Steyaert and Hjorth, 2003) and 'unveiling' (e.g. Jones and Spicer, 2009). These strategies have so far been pursued largely in the conceptual domain, and this doctoral dissertation is an effort to take them a step further by combining empirical investigation and philosophical reflection. The aim is to investigate how a processual study of entrepreneurship 'should be worked out' in practice (Kristensen, Lopdrup-Hjorth and Sørensen, 2014). The first two studies contribute an empirically informed conceptualisation of entrepreneurship, the first focused on how organisations are created, the second providing stories of emerging practices of female entrepreneurs. Though they aim to provide alternative conceptualisations, they remain firmly rooted in 'traditional' social science, offering alternative approaches to the dominant understandings of entrepreneurship, and utilizing accepted and traditional methodologies and theories. The last two papers are more experimental in their design. The aim is still to problematize discursive or practical aspects of entrepreneurship and processes around entrepreneurship, but also to investigate alternative methods for creating knowledge. The third study explores the somewhat paradoxical results of SME support schemes and develops a role-play-enhanced focus group technique. The fourth study is based on an organisational ethnography in antiquarian bookshops and experiments with fictional accounts and literary techniques as methods to generate knowledge. The contribution of this dissertation to processual studies in entrepreneurship research is twofold. The first two papers are illustrations of an application of process concepts, while the last two papers illustrate the attempt to create process concepts. Taken together, the studies demonstrate how a processual study of entrepreneurship might be worked out in practice. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8917

Report from a workshop 6-8 September 2010Schaumburg-Müller, Henrik; Jeppesen, Søren; Langevang, Thilde (Frederiksberg, 2010)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This working paper is a report from the workshop on Entrepreneurship Development arranged by the Centre for Business and Development Studies at CBS and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in September 2010. The objective of the workshop was to use the participants' joint knowledge and experiences to discuss and provide conclusions on what role entrepreneurship development has played and can play to stimulate growth and employment in Africa. Entrepreneurship development is understood as the promotion and development of activities and processes that foster and support productive entrepreneurship in the society. The workshop should provide inputs to how entrepreneurship in Africa can be supported and be used in the development and implementation of the "Growth and Employment" priority of the new Danish strategy for development cooperation. The workshop had twenty participants with long standing insight to the challenges of entrepreneurship development and employment growth in Africa from international organizations, development cooperation partners, universities and private enterprises and organizations. The report contains the key issues discussed at the workshop and ends with conclusions and recommendations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8208

Resume: This paper analyses the importance of entrepreneurs for job creation and wage growth. Relying on unique data that covers all plants, firms and individuals in the Danish private sector, we are able to distil a number of different measures of entrepreneurial plants from the set of new plants, including measures that much more precisely capture the "truly new" or "entrepreneurial" plants than in previous studies. Using these data, we find that while new plants in general account for one third of the gross job creation in the economy, entrepreneurial plants are responsible for between 15% and 25% of this, and thus only account for up to 8% of total gross job creation in the economy. However, entrepreneurial plants seem to generate more additional jobs than other new plants in the years following entry. Finally, the jobs generated by entrepreneurial plants are to a large extent low-wage jobs, as they are not found to contribute to the growth in average wages. However, this insight varies across the different types of entrepreneurial plants. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7713

Job Growth Slows to a Trickle
Unemployment Rate Falls One-Tenth of a Percentage Point to 7.6%
Employers added fewer jobs in March than in any month in almost a year, a dark cloud after several months of slowly improving conditions in labor markets.
Just 88,000 jobs were created last month, far below February's 268,000 gain. The unemployment rate, derived from a separate survey, dropped to a four-year low of 7.6%. But the decline was prompted by nearly a half-million workers leaving the job market, not job growth.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 14, 2008) - The ETSU men's soccer team defeated Elon at the Elon Classic Friday afternoon at Rudd Field in Elon, N.C., 1-0.
"It was a total team victory, and the guys showed incredible resiliency and character under difficult conditions to get the win," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "Down the stretch when our backs were against the wall we bent at times, but we never broke and fought for everything."
The Bucs (3-2) again held its opponent scoreless in the first half as play was back and forth the entire half. ETSU took a 1-0 lead in the 58th minute when Sean Hoek (
Elon had several goal scoring opportunities last in the second half, but the Bucs defense continued to play tough preserving the 1-0 lead.
ETSU was outshot by the
"James has gained a lot of confidence over the past couple of games, and has performed extremely well," Calabrese said. "Sean's goal was a great goal. He absolutely smashed it over the keeper into the top of the net."
"The guys have shown time and time again that they can win in the face of adversity," Calabrese said. "They have put together gutsy performances against good teams and find ways to win. I think that it is important that the guys have a winning character like they have shown today going forward."

Intel CEO Paul Otellini on Windows 8 x86 and Windows 8 ARM: "We have the advantage of the incumbency, advantage of the legacy support. Not just in terms of applications but devices." Yes, because the lack of their favourite Windows applications was really a massive hurdle for Apple and its ill-fated iPad effort from a few years ago. Anyone remember that thing?

RE[2]: Re: the iPad dig
by ilovebeer on Sat 12th May 2012 14:22 UTC in reply to "RE: Re: the iPad dig"
A device thats advertised as windows will lead customers to believe it has the same capabilities as any other windows device, when they find out it doesn't then they will be angry...
Advertising Windows products as Windows products is not what could mislead people. Customers who assume and don't bother to actually know what they're buying is what misleads them. Aside of that, every version of Windows, in every iteration has different capabilities so if they haven't learned that by now, well, ...........
I have seen several people buy windows mobile or windows ce based devices expecting to be able to install the same apps they used on their desktop, this leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
...And it's nobody's fault but their own. Most people have done that at some point -- purchased a product without really doing their homework, only to discover it wasn't actually what they needed/wanted/intended to buy. Oops! Lesson learned for them I guess.

I recently added additional memory to my Vostro taking the total up to 4gb, however, an out of date BIOS meant that not all of this was available to Ubuntu.
Dell provides a method for updating many system BIOS using firmware-tools packages and the process outlined here. Unfortunately, the Dell Vostro 200 and a number of other systems are not supported. As an alternative, it is suggested that you can use the Dell biosdisk project, however, if you try this you'll quickly realise it does not work - attempting the upgrade spits out the rather cryptic "Error! udosexe = -5". You also get this error attempting to use the method in this howto.
The error is caused because the Dell BIOS updater is a compressed archive containing both the BIOS image (2mb) and an installer. Unpacking that on a 1.44MB disk will not work. Frustratingly, it will also not work on a 2.88MB disk, because the compressed archive+unpacked contents is too big!
At this point you have two options - either create a bootable USB stick on Windows or do what I did (below):
First we want to create a 2.88MB disk image (1.44MB is too small for the 2MB BIOS code) and mount it. Note that FreeDOS don't provide an 'empty' 2.88MB boot disk so we need to delete the fdos folder to get space.
Next we need to install dosemu (a DOS emulator) so we can extract the BIOS files from the Dell installer but with unlimited diskspace.Code:cd ~ wget http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/autogen/FDSTD.288.gz gunzip FDOEM.288.gz mkdir /tmp/floppy sudo mount -t vfat -o loop,quiet,umask=000 FDSTD.288 /tmp/floppy rm -rf /tmp/floppy/fdos
You should get a window pop up that looks like DOS with the C drive active. What you are actually seeing is a dosemu 'virtual' drive, who's actual location on your Ubuntu system is ~/.dosemu/drive_cCode:sudo apt-get install dosemu dosemu
Go to the Dell website and click to download the BIOS updater and choose where to save it. In the file box go to your home folder, right click in the folder list and select 'Show hidden files'. You should now be able to see the .dosemu folder and the drive_c one within. Save the file into the drive_c folder and once download is complete type the following in the DOS box:
You should see your file listed there.Code:dir
Type the name of the BIOS file and hit return to start it up. You should see a 'Copyright (c) Foxconn LTD 2001-2007...' message and importantly messages 'Decompress the exe file' and 'Decompress the bin file'. Unfortunately, you'll also notice that there is an error message and 'ALL Files removed!' at the bottom. So this is where you need to get quick with your fingers!
Run the BIOS upgrade file again in the DOS box, and wait until it says 'Decompress the bin file'. Now press Ctrl-C on the keyboard to cancel and exit the program. As the exe file was already decompressed it will now be on the drive.
You should see (along with a lot of other files) another file with an EXE extension. In my case this is AFU877.EXE but it may differ if you're doing a different update (e.g. not on a Vostro 200) let me know. Note it down and make sure you amend any following instructions if needed.Code:dir
Now we need to copy this file to our boot image disk. In the shell window (not the DOS box) type:
Now we need the BIOS update BIN file. So back in th DOS box, rerun the BIOS update file. Now you need to be very quick at this bit! Wait until after the 'Decompress the bin file' has finished, the first message is 'begin to check the bin file!'. Hit Ctrl-C again to cancel the deletion of the files. It doesn't matter if you miss it, just re-run the program until you get it right. Note that you will still get the 'ALL Files removed!' message, but it hasn't happened. You can check the file is there by typing:Code:cp ~/.dosemu/drive_c/afu877.exe /tmp/floppy/afu877.exe
You're looking for a file named 713D1S49.BIN that is 2MB (2,097,152). Once you've got that you can give the hands a rest. Now back in the shell type the following:Code:dir
That's it for the DOS stuff so you can close the DOS box down. Now to tidy up and prepare to run the update.Code:cp ~/.dosemu/drive_c/713d1s49.bin /tmp/floppy/713d1s49.bin
You now need to add the biosupdate boot image to your grub menu. You can do this from the command line as shown below, or run your favourite text editor (e.g. gedit or kate) as root.Code:sudo umount /tmp/floppy rmdir /tmp/floppy sudo mv FDSTD.288 /boot/biosupdate.img sudo apt-get install syslinux sudo cp /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk /boot/
Once you have the file open, simply add the following lines to the end.Code:sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
Save the file and restart your computer. At the grub menu press 'ESC' and scroll down the list to select the final entry. FreeDOS should now start up and you will get a prompt whether to load various things (HIMEM/etc.) press 'N' until you get to the end with an A:> prompt.Code:title BIOS upgrade kernel /boot/memdisk initrd /boot/biosupdate.img
Start the BIOS update by typing the following:
All done! Thanks for ciscosurfer's howto which formed the basis for getting this working!Code:afu877 713d1s49.bin


text: I have one question, if i do yum update all the settings will be lost? since this update, installs and the latest versions including MySQL and others. I want to update it since centos 6 has a security problem, an exploit which can attack the root account THROUGH user accounts with shell. So I question arises whether, to update the kernel, everything is updated including data base. Someone can get me out of doubt.

BARTOW | A Tampa man accused in the fatal shooting death of a young Fort Meade man on Mother's Day 2011 was found not guilty Thursday.
BARTOW | A Tampa man accused in the fatal shooting death of a young Fort Meade man on Mother's Day 2011 was found not guilty Thursday.
Brandon Mays, 27, was accused of second-degree murder and had faced a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted on that charge. He was charged in the death of Kentavis Ingram, who was 22.
Ingram was shot to death May 8, 2011 while a women's kickball tournament was being held in a park.
In closing arguments Thursday morning before a six-person jury and Circuit Judge Mark Hofstad, it was clear that the testimony of one witness, James Bighems, was critically important. Prosecutor Cory Chastang and defense lawyer Karen Meeks both spent considerable time during their arguments focusing on Bighems.
Bighems testified Tuesday that he heard Mays say he was going to shoot Ingram, and then did it. Bighems said he ran in fear as Ingram, his cousin, was shot again.
"Brandon Mays is the one who shot Kentavis Ingram," Chastang said.
But Meeks said that everyone involved said the shooting took place near a Dumpster, and blood evidence showed the same thing. Only Bighems said Ingram was shot elsewhere, Meeks said.
"Mr. Bighems testimony didn't agree with anything," Meeks said.
She said Bighems testified the shooter was standing to Ingram's right, but Medical Examiner Stephen Nelson testified the shooter had to be on Ingram's left.
Ingram was killed by bullets from a 9 mm handgun. Chastang said three bullets from a 9mm handgun were found in Mays' home. Mays had owned a 9 mm but told detectives he had given it to his brother. Investigators found that gun, but it turned out not to be the one used to shoot Ingram.
Which didn't mean Mays didn't have another 9 mm somewhere, Chastang said.
Witnesses told deputies that the shooter got into a dark Monte Carlo and left.
But Mays' fingerprints were not found on a car suspected of being the Monte Carlo used by the shooter to get away.
Jurors took slightly more than an hour to reach their verdict.

Proving once again that Square Enix is the master of video game cinematics, this stunning Tomb Raider trailer also provides the setup for the re-imagined Lara Croft's very first adventure. See it below:
Tomb Raider is being developed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PCs. As the trailer indicates, the game is scheduled for release in fall 2012.
Sharkey says: I fondly remember becoming completely immersed in the original Tomb Raider on the PSOne way back in the day. Amazing to see how the game has evolved since then with this trailer. Hopefully Tomb Raider will recapture some of the magic that made the franchise so great.

For the past month, I've been disciplining myself to sit down, once a week, and make-art. I'm not sure why I even have to force myself to do something that, in the end, brings me great satisfaction. But for the past several years, I've all but given up painting. Illustrating has always been one of the few things that has always come easily to me. I've never been one to take the easy road, though, and instead like to fill my life with challenges - or rather, I take this gift for granted.
This time of year, is one of reflection and of being thankful for all that we have. It almost seems sacrilege to me not to embrace our innate abilities and outwardly express our own uniqueness through creativity. On the other hand, it's not always easy to stop, slow down, get in tune with that inner creative light that burns in each of us. Sometimes we have to make time - if only for half an hour.
I want to propose a challenge to you: Once a week, make time for yourself, sit quietly and create, using whatever medium you feel most comfortable. There is no judgement here. Just create freely with the knowledge that self expression can never be wrong. Post your art/recipe/writing/sewing/music etc...on Monday. Then, let me know via a comment, and I will include a link with my own Creative Monday post.
I hope this provides inspiration, whether you participate or just become a weekly on-looker to the challenge. xo

Tell me these are new to some of you out there. I can't tell anymore what's new and what's so done it's no longer worthy of blog-versation. I love Confetti Systems with all my heart n' soul, and Geronimo Balloon Troopers are right there with my adoration for tinsely, sugary-colored, shiny, crepey, balloony creations of celebration.
I swear, I've sat and stared at photos of these things, and even if I could figure out how they're made, I'd never put the hours in, it must take to create them.
|macaroons are the grossest tasting confection on the trend market currently, but they look perfect here.
What are "Balloon Troopers" ? I personally, had never heard of the term (or maybe it's totally made up).
The troopers are made using vintage ribbons, hand-marbled Italian tissue paper, metallic frill, gold tape and a whole lotta other stuff. Right here in L.A. they don't come cheap, but if you're trying to go all 'budget', try and make one of these yourself. My guess is that the starting price of one balloon at $55.00 will sound totally worth it.
I didn't want to bring this up initially, but now that I've had a convo with Jihan Zencirli, maker and artisan of these beautiful creatures, I want to add an explanation for something on their site.
Here's the deal: the Geronimo Balloon Troopers gang is planning a mass, balloon bombing of 499 balloons { time and date is undisclosed until 48 hours prior } They especially welcome photographers and videographers to capture the event, which will no doubt be breathe taking....but what about the ocean and all of its denizens ? When it rains in L.A., all things get washed into the bay, and things like balloons, get gobbled up by our beautiful sea creatures who mistake them for food.
This morning, I emailed, Jihan and she responded immediately. Here is her response:
"Thank you for your email! And for your concern. The way I have the 499 routes structured will require my volunteers to retrieve the balloons within 24 hours. Contracts/stewardship agreements too. The balloons, balloon string are also biodegradable.
I could talk all day about it!
Thanks again for being a conscientious fan. You are the very first person to ask these questions- and I'm glad you did!
Jihan "
I know that many of you are environmentally aware and this might be broached. I wanted to let Jihan, explain so that this wouldn't be a conversation. And from someone who's raising kids at the beach, please be responsible for your balloons. Don't let them float off. What goes up, must comes down. Also, sign up to get the 'launch' email so you can be a part of this mission!

Aren't these the cool? Bole flooring uses nature's.... natural curves to create these lyrically lined floor planks.....

How To Make Reusable Bowl Covers
Say sayonara to saran wrap! We've never felt good about the amount of saran wrap we use in the kitchen, but even more so now that we have half-eaten yogurts and mini-meals abandoned by our toddler. Our guilt finally motivated us to make some shower-cap style bowl covers.
What You Need
cotton laminate or oilcloth (some good sources here - check the comments too)
1/4" elastic (other sizes will work too - see note below about how much)
bowls to trace
crayon, marker or pen
pinking shears (optional)
sewing machine
1. Select bowls or other circular objects for tracing. Keep in mind that the finished cover will be smaller than the bowl you trace so choose a bowl template bigger than what you want to cover in the end.
2. Trace your bowl onto the wrong side of your cloth with a crayon, pen, marker or whatever you have at hand.
3. Cut out the shape with scissors.
4. Sew your elastic to the wrong side of your cloth making sure to backstitch. I did mine about 1/2" in from the edge. You may want to go 3/4" or 1". I used a straight stitch (which you can see didn't turn out so straight). You could also use a zig-zag stitch. IMPORTANT: Once you've made a few stitches to hold it in place, pull the elastic tightly as you sew so that it gathers.
5. Overlap the beginning and ending of the elastic slightly, backstitch and snip off the unused elastic.
6. Trim edges with pinking shears if you like.
Additional Notes: How much elastic should I use you may wonder? Of course it depends on your bowl size. I don't think it's worth trying to figure out exactly how much you need - it's easier to just start with a longish piece and cut it off at the end.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not great at figuring things out - if you have a different approach to making bowl covers or improvements to add please share them in the comments.

(NewsUSA) – Tech is a growing trend for gift buying, and this year is expected to be at an all-time high. Tech and Trends personality Mitch English visited TV stations around the country with some of his top holiday picks.
"I think there is something magical behind technology. It should be fun, helpful and slightly amazing," says English.
Some of the hot holiday gifts on his list include:
For the home. One great gadget for the home is the Dyson Hard. It's engineered for cleaning hard floors like wood and tile. It's the only vacuum cleaner that combines powerful suction with a wet wipe to remove dust and grime in one action. It's cordless, small, lightweight, and Powered by Dyson digital motor — up to three times faster than conventional motors.
Coffee Lover. For the coffee connoisseur who enjoys a gourmet beverage custom brewed to their liking. The Keurig Vue V700 Brewing System's touchscreen interface allows you to simply customize the strength, size and temperature of your beverages for the ultimate brewing experience every time. It also brews two-step, café-style cappuccinos and lattes, teas, hot cocoa and apple cider.
Tech in the shower. What better way to start the day by singing to your favorite tunes? The Kohler Moxie Showerhead + Wireless Speaker is easy to install — same as a standard showerhead, but this streams music/audio straight into your shower via a wireless magnetic Bluetooth-enabled speaker that syncs with your mobile device. The speaker pod can be removed for recharging and taking on the go.
For the gamers. The Skylanders SWAP Force new innovation allows you to mix and match top and bottom halves to create more than 250 unique character combinations. It can also be played with the previous two Skylanders games. It's available for all game consoles, including PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.
Tablets are hot. The LG G Pad 8.3 Tablet is 8.3 inches tall and weighs less than a pound, which is super-portable. The Full HD IPS display is great for watching movies, reading e-books, or surfing the web. The unique QPair feature makes it the perfect companion to any Android smartphone, and the QSlide Function 2.0 allows you to access multiple apps on one screen.
Movie lover. For the first time, the legendary Indiana Jones saga will be available individually in pristine picture and sound in high definition! Raiders of the Lost Ark, meticulously restored under the supervision of director Steven Spielberg, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are available now for Digital HD download and available on Blu-ray Disc December 17th.

Now I love pcgen, it makes creating characters and npcs easy and fast, and I want to use it for B&B, and open it to others to use in that community as well, so I took it upon myself to start the project of making it work and created this repo for anyone that wanted to help me (the help has been predictably absent).
I figured the best way to do this would be to make a singular OS that was not dependent on any of the other standard OS so that I would not have to change it drastically whenever changes were made to the standard ones, and so that I would have complete control over the look and contents of the sheet. However I am having trouble getting started. I have found a few resources for the XSL and FO sides of the equation, but the documentation for the creation of PDF OSs for PCGen has been unhelpful. I find myself unable to get the export function to output a sheet at all. I am sure that there is some issue that is preventing it at this point, a misunderstanding on my part of how the program handles these things, but for the life of me I've been unable to find a resource that adequately explains it.
Presently I have a XSL stylesheet with a template where match = "/" that includes the fo:root object with a simple hello world output. I figure that if I'm able to have the program output that, then using the token and standard fo resources I should be able to build the sheet as I need it, but I can't get the program to actually export anything. when I try to use the helloWorld.xslt to export to PDF I get
- Code: Select all
SEVERE SwingWorker-pool-2-thread-10 BatchExporter:258 BatchExporter.exportCharacterToPDF failed: null
So how do I get Started?

DOJ's History Of Ignoring The Rules When Getting Phone Records Of Journalists
from the not-the-first-time dept
And while some are still trying to argue that this is a non-story, what may be more important is pointing out what a complete bullshit response the DOJ gave to this whole thing:
Despite the seizure of the phone records, a Justice Department spokesman said the agency valued freedom of the press and was "always careful and deliberative in seeking to strike the right balance between the public interest in the free flow of information and the public interest in the fair and effective administration of our criminal laws."The "right balance"? Well, let's take a look about how "always careful and deliberative" the DOJ is on these kinds of things. Julian Sanchez helpfully points us to the infamous 2010 report from the DOJ's Inspector General detailing how the FBI regularly abused "exigent letters" (pdf) -- better known as National Security Letters or NSLs -- to get phone records. This report got plenty of attention at the time, but if you don't recall all 300 pages of it, there's a discussion about getting info from reporters' call logs starting on page 89 (of the official pagination, which falls on page 102 of the pdf) detailing heavily redacted examples of getting reporters' phone records without getting the proper authorization or approvals. What is striking is the extremely cavalier attitude law enforcement seems to have about this. Here is just one example of the DOJ's "always careful and deliberative process" when "seeking to strike the right balance" in getting access to reporters' phone records. This case was an investigation into a leak that appeared in articles in the NY Times and the Washington Post. The full story is much longer, but here are the key points:
On November 5, [redacted], the case agent sent an e-mail asking another Special Agent in the [redacted] Field Office to inquire, in the other agent's capacity as his squad's liaison to the CAU, whether the on-site communications service providers could obtain telephone toll records of U.S. persons making [redacted] calls [redacted]. The case agent's November 5 e-mail listed 12 [redacted] telephone numbers, 8 of which were identified in the e-mail as belonging to Washington Post reporters [redacted] and Washington Post researcher [redacted] and New York Times reporters [redacted] The email identified a 7-month period -- a few months before and a few months after the published articles -- as the time period of interest for the leak investigation.That's the "always careful and deliberative process"? Hmm. Later in the report, they note that even when the agent only had asked about (and never actually sought) 7 months of records, thanks to the NSL, they got months and months of records, nearly none of which was actually in the 7 month period the agent was interested in. All total, they were sent 1,627 telephone call records, and only three calls were from that 7 month period. Oh, and once they got those records, they were uploaded into a database, where they were searchable by other FBI staff and other government personnel as well.
[....] However, in absence of any request from the case agent or anyone in the FBI, the CAU SSA issued an exigent letter dated December 17, [redacted], to Company A for telephone records of the reporters and others listed in the case agent's November 5, [redacted], e-mail. We determined that the SSA did this without further discussion with the case agent or the Special Agent who had asked only whether such records could be obtained through on-site providers, not that the records should be obtained.
The CAU SSA's exigent letter sought records on nine telephone numbers, seven of which were identified in the e-mail exchanges described above as belonging to Washington Post and New York Times reporters or their news organizations' bureaus in [redacted].....
The exigent letter did not specify the 7-month interval noted in the case agent's November 5 e-mail, or contain any date restrictions. The exigent letter also stated that the request was made "due to exigent circumstances" and that "subpoenas requesting this information have been submitted to the U.S. Attorney's office who will process and serve them formally on [Company A] as expeditiously as possible." However, this statement was not accurate. A subpoena request had not been sent to the U.S. Attorney's Office at the time the exigent letter was served, or at any time thereafter.
The report notes a few other examples of agents getting access to reporter phone information without the proper authorization as well.
Of course, once this came out the FBI and DOJ insisted that this was no big deal. But, in a coincidence of timing, just before this whole story broke, the FBI was in court, seeking to keep secret the memo that gave the "legal basis" for its past use of NSLs to access phone records. While the DOJ insists that it's not using these processes any more, it still thinks it should keep the legal basis for why it issued those letters a complete secret. They claim, ridiculously, that this would "chill deliberative discussions within the Executive Branch." But people aren't asking for deliberative discussions, just the very specific claimed legal basis for issuing such letters. And, of course, the DOJ would prefer not to say.
Given all of this, is it any wonder that people suspect the DOJ of being up to no good?

The SR20 presentation to city council members last week was coordinated by Wes Jurey, president of The Center for Innovation (CFI), and came less than two months after the city approved a five-year $125,000 agreement with the Arlington, Texas-based intermediary.
The SR20 presentation to city council members last week was coordinated by Wes Jurey, president of The Center for Innovation (CFI), and came less than two months after the city approved a five-year $125,000 agreement with the Arlington, Texas-based intermediary.
Mayor Bob Dixson and City Administrator Ed Truelove introduced CFI, a technology consultant group founded by Jurey, to the council on June 4. Dixson said both men had traveled to Arlington on May 15 and heard a three-hour presentation from CFI. Truelove showed the council a CFI presentation and council members were told that an agreement would be presented at a future meeting.
On June 18 Truelove presented a contract and asked the city council to approve an agreement between the city and CFI, but the council tabled their vote requesting a personal meeting with a CFI representative.
"I'm intrigued by [the types of projects] presented by CFI," commented councilman Matt Christenson at the meeting, "but, I don't feel comfortable agreeing to this just yet."
Jurey traveled to Greensburg on July 12 to attend a special city council meeting and made a nearly two-hour pitch. The council approved the agreement directly afterward, with Councilwoman Erica Goodman the only vote against.
The city has committed a total $125,000 of city funds and an additional $36,000 of in-kind expenses to CFI and CFI related projects.
The city first committed $36,000 worth of in-kind staff time and expenses over a three-year period to provide "information as needed" to CFI for a U.S. Department of Commerce grant proposal, according to minutes from a July 2 council meeting.
City staff would not actually be paid money for their time, but any travel expenses or hard costs would be reimbursed from that amount. When asked if a city employee would receive payment for man-hours spent working for CFI as part of the grant, Truelove said "no they wouldn't." But he acknowledged that should a city employee travel on behalf of the grant process, they would be reimbursed for fuel, hotel accommodations and other travel costs.
Truelove said that CFI was attempting to secure grant funds from the "Advanced Manufacturing Jobs and Innovation Accelerator Challenge" grant, which will award 12 applicants $2.3 million each in 2012.
In 2011 Wichita State University received almost $2 million from the grant to fund their Center for Innovation and Enterprise program.
City officials also agreed to pay CFI $25,000 per year over a five-year period as a condition of their agreement. That agreement states that the funds are "in support of the TechComm network." TechComm is a division of CFI that advances "the commercialization of federally funded research" according to their website.
The agreement allows for termination of the agreement by either the city or CFI at any time.

I am writing this letter to your magazine so that it can be read by the largest number of people possible. My fellow Americans and I have for the past eight months been held hostage here in Tehran, and as a result of this our morale becomes quite low at times. One of the reasons for an uplift of that morale is mail sent to us by family and friends. But what continually amazes me is the mail sent to us not only from my country but from people all over the world, whom I've never met, wishing us good luck and a speedy return to our family and friends. It is to these very kind and generous people I direct this letter. From myself and my fellow hostages, please accept our deepest thanks for taking the time to show your concern for us in this most trying situation. I hope that you will all continue to write in the future.

On a day plucked from winter, with a bitter wind whipping up raw emotions under a dull grey sky, Liverpool showed further signs of promise under Brendan Rodgers but finished the match with nothing but a place in the bottom three.
They are now looking at a statistic which shows that, since the start of 2012, they have won only two of their 12 league games at Anfield. Of a possible 72 points in the same period, home and away, they have taken a mere 20. By way of contrast, Sunday's visitors have amassed 56 points in the same period, from an identical number of fixtures.
In the aftermath of the penalty with which Robin van Persie completed the scoreline, Manchester United's fans directed a chant of "You're getting sacked in the morning" at the Liverpool manager. The response from the Kop was instant. "There's only one Brendan Rodgers," they sang. Pride was involved, of course, but perhaps they do indeed see their present plight as the darkness before the dawn.
Rodgers certainly does. "The better side lost today," he said. "In the areas we could control, I thought we were outstanding." He disputed the pivotal sending-off of Jonjo Shelvey late in the first half and, less persuasively, the defeat-sealing penalty awarded against Glen Johnson for chasing back and tripping Antonio Valencia. "Very soon our luck will change, we'll do what we need to do to win matches, and we'll fly."
While Liverpool had a full complement of players on the pitch there were plenty of indications that Rodgers is getting them to play the way he wants, combining the Anfield club's traditional power game with his preferred short-passing style.
"We've got a group of young players here who can take the club forward," he said afterwards, having seen Raheem Sterling produce another encouraging performance, this time under the eye of Roy Hodgson, who made the teenager a late addition to his last England squad.
Rodgers had also given a league debut to Jesús Fernández, known as Suso, who came on for the limping Fabio Borini at half-time, and within a minute the 18-year-old Spanish forward skipped away from Paul Scholes, playing in the neat cross from which Johnson created the chance for Gerrard to give Liverpool the lead.
Gerrard's response to the goal was to point to the sky, his thoughts no doubt on his late cousin, Jon-Paul Gilhooley, who died in the Hillsborough disaster, aged 10. As a moment of deep emotion, it compared to the one witnessed at Stamford Bridge four years ago when Frank Lampard steeled himself to convert a crucial Champions League penalty – against Liverpool, as it happens – in the week of his mother's death.
The impeccable buildup to this highly charged occasion had featured a joint television interview by Rodgers and Sir Alex Ferguson, the presentation of a bouquet of red roses from Sir Bobby Charlton to Ian Rush, a handshake between Luis Suárez and Patrice Evra, and the sight of the two captains, Gerrard and Ryan Giggs, releasing 96 balloons in commemoration of the Hillsborough victims. While the home fans sang You'll Never Walk Alone with a special intensity, United's fans responded with their own war cries, a gesture that teetered on the brink of unacceptability.
Once the match got under way, ears were cocked for the sound of old hatreds. After a subdued and disjointed opening, however, most of the harshness was reserved for events on the pitch, where the weight of the collisions and the stridency of the appeals gradually rose throughout the first half until, in the 39th minute, Mark Halsey made the decision that shaped the match.
Liverpool had worked hard to conquer their nerves and establish an definite ascendancy over a curiously disjointed United when Shelvey muscled Giggs out of possession and chased the loose ball into a second challenge with Jonny Evans. As the players slid towards each other, neither of them in full control of his action, Halsey's angle of vision persuaded him that Shelvey's part in the collision deserved a straight dismissal.
Replays suggested that a yellow card apiece might have been a more sensible conclusion, but Halsey could only go on what he believed he had seen. It was a shame for the contest, for Liverpool, and particularly for the 20-year-old Shelvey, who left the pitch in a storm of rancour. His game has much more to it than his obvious athleticism and his appetite for the ball in the Liverpool midfield seems to take a little of the pressure off Gerrard, allowing the captain to distribute the ball in a more relaxed manner.
What Liverpool really need, however, is for Suárez to rediscover the goalscoring instinct that brought him 81 league goals in 110 appearances for Ajax and 28 in 54 matches with Uruguay.
As committed to Sunday's contest as any player on view, he showed the potential to link effectively with Borini and Sterling, although he had only one decent chance to show for it, when Anders Lindegaard dived to push away his low left-foot shot on the hour.
But his endless complaining tries the patience of officials. As we saw, referees are only human, and Halsey denied him what looked like a reasonable claim for a late penalty. It is a lesson Suárez needs to learn if he is to play his part in a Liverpool revival.

ReleasesBack to
Harvey Mason
Switching over to Blue Note, which was then reaping a fortune with Donald Byrd's R&B outfit, Eddie Henderson pursued a harder, earthier, more structured, funk-driven sound on his first album, while maintaining some of his marvelously spacier instincts for spice. Henderson continued to keep several components of the Herbie Hancock Septet together, for drummer Billy Hart, bassist Buster Williams, reedman Bennie Maupin, and now trombonist Julian Priester are back. But this time, Hancock is replaced by George Duke, and fusionaire bassist Alphonso Johnson and drummer Harvey Mason (late of the Headhunters) are added -- and these switches make much of the difference. Duke is as much of an techie as Herbie was; he delights in flaunting his Echoplex and burbling, shooting, twinkling synthesizer effects. Henderson himself is more into electronic echo and wah-wah effects than before, definitely pursuing the current Miles Davis line but in a brighter, more tonally brilliant manner, and Maupin has many impassioned and creepy (on bass clarinet) moments. The title track, a ruminative Henderson tune with a leaping funk beat, and Mason's archetypical funk workout "Hop Scotch" are the best cuts. ~ Richard S. Ginell

Redesign this website Visit Here, This is a simple site with not a lot of text or images. The website currently is built in Flash, the redesign will be HTML and a shopping cart will be implemented under the products page. Stay within the light childish colors. The design must be cute and great!
If you go to http://www.skippinghippos.com we really like the homepage a lot. Can we just take our current home page and make our box bigger to fit "Trendsetting Moms" and the tagline in the box and then have wall paper outside of the box. So, if you are looking at Skipping Hippos site you'll see their product flashing with different pictures of kids wearing their product (poncho) and then this is outlined in a pink box with green wallpaper along the sides.
So, for our homepage we want to do something similiar. All of the content on the page would be replaced by our product picture (use place holders for now). The
content would be moved to the About Us section. The two pictures of the kids on the home page would be removed entirely from the site.
If you look at yao's design (http://contests.sitepoint.com/conte…ies/305190) we like the font of the buttons and we like how they are placed along the top.
We would like that change made.
In our product labels we are using a pantone purple for the "O" in Moms, so we would like that change made to in the site. We like the blue a lot in createabit's design (http://contests.sitepoint.com/conte…ies/306065) maybe we could have that color blue along the sides as our wallpaper. I'm not sure if we need a printed
wallpaper or not...like Skipping Hippos.
Please let me know what questions you have. Thanks

Best Kids Parties: A Crafternoon Tea Party
Here's a wonderful idea for children who love to craft. Debra shares: Friends were invited to join us for a casual "Crafternoon" of crafting and merry-making! We planned it for the garden but thunder and rain threatened to dampen the fun but didn't win out in the end.
Isabella's "Crafternoon Tea" party came about quite naturally. Isabella loves to create. She also happens to adore butterflies and flowers... and her current favorite and very specific colors are robin's egg blue, burnt orange and lime green.
Decorations for the party were fun to shop for...we headed to Toronto's Chinatown to hunt for paper lanterns, silk butterflies, and other colorful treasures. Bright orange Gerbera daisies in vintage mason jars added just the right amount of color and charm to the table.
The girls created pretty flower hairbands using glittery hairbands, paper flowers and vintage buttons. So simple to make. All you need is a glue gun and your supplies.
Fabric cuff bracelets adorned with beads, buttons and flowers. This craft was a bit more complicated as the girls attempted to sew the beads and buttons onto a strip of plain cotton canvas. For those who didn't want to sew, my glue gun was handy.
The girls drank pink lemonade out of jam jars wrapped in bakers twine and ate grilled hotdogs wrapped in paper doilies. They ate yummy chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches and chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing adorned with paper umbrella toppers.
Fun & Games:
Isabella created her own photo props using bamboo sticks and construction paper...big red lips, mustaches, crazy sunglasses and unibrows to name a few. The girls had fun posing for some photos with these.
Blowing bubbles, playing backyard games, chatting and eating ice cream sandwiches kept them entertained.
I love putting together a special gift for guests to take home. Cotton muslin bags stamped with the girls initials held chinese silk lipstick cases, Lipsmackers, a pretty posy ring, a candy stick and a paper lantern.
A rainy day turned into a fun afternoon with lots of giggling, treats and happy birthday wishes.
Thanks Debra! Readers, find Debra at Vintage Paper Parade blog and shop!
