Market psychology cool despite summer rally
Look for pessimism to return by late August. September is shaping up to be a tough month.
I interrupt this summer rally with an important message to all investors: Market psychology has not changed despite heady gains in stocks.
A market that was grossly oversold has recovered nicely in July. The spark for the rally has been second-quarter earnings that have not disappointed investors and reinforced the idea that the market is cheap, at least in the short term.
Once the euphoria of positive earnings ends in late August, pessimism is likely to return. September is shaping up to be quite the vacuum in terms of news impacting stock valuations.
Filling the vacuum will be the talk of double dip recession, massive debts and global financial chaos.
If you want to beat the market on a consistent basis I strongly urge using psychology to help you manage your portfolio.
By understanding how people are likely to behave when faced with certain scenarios investors can increase the likelihood that your portfolio will be a winner instead of a loser.
Because the market is made up of mostly followers instead of leaders general directional trends in prices can be regularly predicted by knowing where the followers are going.
A market of leaders usually results in chaos thus making predicting results difficult if not impossible.
With respect to the forthcoming end of earnings season I find many similarities to faith and religion.
Those lacking faith tend to want to see miracles or some other proof of a superior beings existence. Even when proof is presented, the doubt surfaces quickly after the event.
There is an insatiable demand for more and more proof.
That is how the majority of followers are behaving in the market today. You can take it to the bank.
We are getting our own little miracle in the form of very strong corporate earnings in the second quarter. As soon as we clear the time when reports are released doubt will take its place.
The bottom line is that September will be a tough month for stocks. Act accordingly by hedging your portfolio with options or take advantage of selling by owning inverse exchange traded funds that appreciate in value when stocks go down.
My top stocks portfolio is up nearly 15% year to date by deftly utilizing market psychology to guide my exposure to stocks. With this latest prediction, I'll keep 25% of the portfolio balanced with long/short trades.
By mid-August I will reduce stock exposure from 75% to 50% and allocate the 25% to inverse exchange-traded funds. I'll let you know the names in a couple weeks.

Grosvenor purchases Park Habio Azabu Tower in Azabu, Tokyo
Related fund data links
Grosvenor Asia Pacific, the regional proprietary arm of the international property group Grosvenor, has acquired Park Habio Azabu Tower, a 102-unit luxury residential complex located in Higashi Azabu, Tokyo.
The property, completed in February 2009 by Takenaka Corporation, was purchased in a joint venture on 25 January, 2013. The acquisition, following that of Roppongi Arents and The Mark Minami Azabu in 2011 and 2012 respectively, adds to Grosvenor's portfolio of assets in Japan and Asia, and is part of the group's strategy to expand investment in and development of luxury residential properties in the region.
The Azabu area of Tokyo is renowned for its lush green living environment, great convenience and amenities, and a blend of history and culture. Park Habio Azabu Tower is situated only a four-minute walk from Akabanebashi Station and a 9-minute walk from Azabujuban Station. With Tokyo Tower and Shiba Park nearby, the property offers panoramic views across Tokyo in a natural setting at the heart of the city.
As a leader in the investment in and development of luxury residential property in Tokyo since 2001, Grosvenor has a strong history in Japan in design, quality, and property management. In 2008 it completed the 45-unit low-rise luxury apartment building Grosvenor Place Kamizono-Cho; the property currently commands the highest rents in Tokyo. Roppongi Arents, a 99-unit luxury apartment building located adjacent to Roppongi Hills and purchased by Grosvenor in October 2011, has been undergoing major renovations since January 2013 and is scheduled for reopening in autumn/fall of this year.
Koshiro Hiroi, Managing Director of Asia Pacific Development and Chief Representative Japan, says: "We are delighted to have acquired this apartment building in such a prime downtown Tokyo location at an opportune time in the market cycle. With the Japanese economy and the property market expected to rebound strongly, leading to increasing property values within the Japanese luxury residential sector, we are confident our focus on value-add luxury residential development will prove well founded."
Elsewhere in Asia, Grosvenor has recently jointly acquired Monterey Court in Jardine's Lookout, one of Hong Kong's most prestigious residential districts. Together with their partners, they plan to redevelop the 20-storey building into a landmark luxury residence, and have appointed Paul Davis + Partners, whom Grosvenor also worked with on Grosvenor Place Kamizono-Cho, to undertake project design. The development is expected to be complete by early 2017.

His 'n' Hers USB kits to end battle of the sexes?
Buying presents can be an arduous task, but when pondering the perfect gift for the gadget geek - or geekette - in your life then look no further than the His and Hers USB gift set.
The USB gift set for men
For the men, the set includes a mini vacuum cleaner with brush, a desk lamp, a cup warmer and a mood light pen holder with four USB ports around its base. Each are decked out in a rather stylish shade of silver and should look good on any desk.
For the girlfriend/missus/maiden aunt, the set is almost identical, but swaps out the desk lamp and cup warmer for a fan and lighted mirror. All the USB gadgets are, of course, an appropriately feminine - apparently - shade of plastic pink.
The USB gift set for ladies
Both sets are compatible with PCs and Macs, and don't require driver installation before use.
Both sets are available now for around $30 ($14/€21).
[shudders again]
having just read the article about pink tasers I found thi srather funny. Seriously people, GROWN UP WOMEN (apart from the chavvy kind) DO NOT ALL LIKE PINK!!!! must I actually vomit on the designers to get my point across? (or possible taser some unmentionable bits....)
Oh, it's a vacuum cleaner
I really did wonder for a moment, seriously.

I've been thinking about the property market and it looks to me like it is certain to go down for the following reasons, can anyone think why this might not be the case?
1. Demographics: The bulk of people in ireland are 25 - 30, lots of people in this age bracket are renting so lots of appartments are being built for them to rent. In 10 years time when the bulk of people are 35 - 40 they will mostly be wanting to move out to a house in the suburbs to have kids. Appartments build today are not family friendly and are not suitable for anything other than couples with maybe one kid. This means that in 10 years time there will be way more appartments than there will be people looking to rent them, hence rents fall through the floor and investors sell up. Prices go down.
2. Interest rates: Our interest rates are too low for the economic climate as the are set to speed up the sluggish Euro economy rather than chill the over heating Irish economy. This is all well and good for now but should Europe recover and interest rates go up, Ireland could have a debt crisis where people can't pay their mortgages. So while Ireland spirals down and the banks bad debt rises the interest rates will stay high as most Euro economys are doing fine. This will lead to the reverse situation where the interest rates will be too high for the Irish economic climate.
3. Too many investors: 30% of Irish residential property is owned by investors (ish). This means that should rents go down significantly and house price growth level off there will be no reason for these people to continue holding on to this property. This could lead to 30% of properties going on to the market realativly easily (so long as the tennants can be kicked out at the end of the lease). Should house prices start dropping this gives the investors even more reason to sell as they still have a place to live if they sell their investment property. If more houses were owner occupied then there would be more resistence to a price free fall as people still need a place to live even if their property value is going down!.
4. Too much debt: We currently have the fastest growing debt rates in Europe and are approaching the top of the pile in person debt as well. 60% of people in a recient survey (read in Sunday Business Post there a few weeks back) take out loans to maintain their standard of living, 60% of people are living beyond their means in other words. This is very risky in my opinion.
So those are my reasons for doom and glood, does anyone have any reasons why this won't happen? the only thing I can think of is that immigrents will rent the appartments in town and help maintain their prices but they will only come if the economy has jobs for them...
I'd like to see house prices come down a bit but I sure as hell don't want to see the Irish Economy go down the toilet!
any ideas anyone?

When I read, I ask a LOT of questions. Here's some stuff I searched or wondered about while reading Insignia by S.J. Kincaid. Read my review. If you like gaming in any way, you should get this book (and honestly, even if you don't like gaming still get this book). People getting computer viruses that fellow students can write is just plain FUNNY. "Frequent Noisome Farts" was my favorite
I know this diary isn't as long as my other ones, but I hope you still enjoy it
The Pentagon (with a few futuristic upgrades) is where most of the book takes place.
Who is…
General George S. Patton?
There are a lot of fictional Generals mentioned in the book, but George S. Patton was real. I'm gonna whip out some wiki:
George S. Patton "was an officer in the United States Army best known for his leadership as a general during World War II. He also developed a reputation for eccentricity and for sometimes-controversial gruff outspokenness—such as during his profanity-laced speech to his expeditionary troops." *raises eyebrows* You sure know how to pique my curiosity there, Wiki.
Cultural References
I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know what the quote "Good Morning, Dave" was referring too. After lots of searching on YouTube I found out that it came from 2001: A Space Odyssey. I know, I haven't seen it. *Hangs head in shame*
This, however, IS a cultural reference that I got without any googling. I'm sharing it because it's stinkin' hilarious.
"Oh no, young Skywalker. The ugly is strong in that one." – S.J. Kincaid, Insignia.
Book Trailer
Out of curiosity, if you could write a computer virus for people, what would it do to them?

What I Wore Today
I know that we all have those days when we feel really, well…for lack of a better word…fat. Call it bloat or whatever else you may but that fact of the matter still remains the same, on those days it's very hard to get enthusiastic about going out. Here, experiencing first hand "one of those days", I opted to keep it simple and focus on the accessories.
That said, I would like to pay special focus on is the scarf. In all honesty it's not a scarf at all, it is a headband, one that has the scrunchie in the back and you basically don't even have to tie (you know, because of the scrunchie bit) you then can tie the back strips to make a pretty bow or what have you.
I decided to use it as a scarf tying the knot big enough to hit the scrunched bit. Topping off the look, literally, was this very 1920's/1930's style women's hat that I just love. These two attention to details transform a look which can be otherwise plain, simple, or boring and then attach a style, a time period, a way of thinking something that now make it special in a very nonchalant sort of way.
The Look:
Vintage Style Hat: Target
Polka Dot Headband (Scarf): Forever 21
V-Neck Tee: Mossimo Supply Co. (Target)
Mini Skirt: Express
Tights: Target

Four authors - Mohsin Hamid, Mohammed Hanif, Daniyal Mueenuddin and Kamila Shamsie - in the same seering, satirical tone as Binyavanga Wainaina's "How to Write About Africa" (originally published in Granta, 1992) have created their own advice on How to Write About Pakistan. Here's the start of Hanif's list:
1. Must have mangoes.
2. Must have maids who serve mangoes.
3. Maids must have affairs with man servants who should occasionally steal mangoes.
4. Masters must lecture on history of mangoes and forgive the thieving servant.
5. Calls to prayer must be rendered to capture the mood of a nation disappointed by the failing crop of mangoes.
6. The mango flavour must linger for a few paragraphs.

I just got a 3TB drive and used acronis to clone my old 1.5TB drive. But it is still formatted MBR so I only have a 2TB partition and a 750GB unallocated partition. Is there a (preferably free) piece of software that I can use to convert the drive over to GPT then expand the 2TB partition to give me the whole piece of storage in one partition?
I would also like to not lose the data, took forever to copy 1.5TB worth of data.

I'd assume the "clone" would have made an exact copy, including the partition table.
As far as I can tell, you can only change empty drives from MBR to GPT.
Someone else may know of a utility, but as far as I can see, you'd have to wipe the 3TB again, making it GPT and then copy the 1.5's files to it.

That kind of **bleep**, took from noon yesterday till sometime last night to do the clone.

Dude, I don't mean to sound negative, but you're trying to accomplish something extremely difficult since you cloning an MBR partition to a drive that needs GPT (GUID) to work properly is extremely unlikely to have a good outcome.
You can leave the drive ready for a new partition table with any software that is able to write zeros, however, you'll still need to initialize the drive as GPT to have the 3TB, defeating what you want to do as you can't change the partition table without killing the data if you want your drive to be as a healthy, stable and clean as possible with GPT.
You can use GPT fdisk 0.7.1, it's free and will let you change the partition to GPT without killing the data but BE WARNED; not killing the data to create the clean partition table ENDS in an unstable and horribly performing drive.
I'd just forget about going the easy way (Cloning) if I were you and just copy the files from one drive to the other after loading the OS and the programs to the GPT drive to make sure it's going to work as it should. This is because if you're cloning an XP drive then as soon as you convert the drive to GPT it's going to lock-up and become unusable since XP doesn't support GPT and if you have Vista to W7 then they won't make use of GPT and ADV format on a clone as they need to be natively installed on a GPT drive to use the advantages, so either way you loose if you convert it.

best way and the Only way is just plug both disks in and delete all partitions from the 3TB and make the drive GPT and Create the 3TB partition and copy all the data to it thats the clean way (asumeing XP / Vista / 7 64 bit only is used)
you have to copy all the data agane as there has to be no partitions on the disk when you convert the disk to GPT
it most likey taken long time as the new Green WD disks are 4k sectors Acron True Image most likey copyed the disk miss allinged,
i did the same mestake on my 2TB WD green disk as i use 2003 server (XP kernel) so it was Miss allinged so it was going to take 7-10 hrs to copy the disk was scraching my head why was the disk Que very high (hovering around 30) all the time and low Write speeds, i unpluged it pluged it into an windows 7 system made the parttiton and then pluged it back into my server disk was copying at normal rate taken less then 2-3 hrs i think to copy (DIsk Que was low some times would do 10 every so often but thats normal)

Boost for water babies at DRI
DONCASTER Royal Infirmary's maternity ward is set for a re-vamp which aims to give mums more choice when they have their babies.
Bosses at the Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have unveiled plans which they say will transform birthing pool facilities at the DRI.
The birthing pool room will be redesigned and upgraded with air conditioning, birthing aids and advanced resuscitation equipment.
The pool allows women to give birth while immersed in water, which experts say can relieve pain for some women in labour
Meanwhile, women giving birth at Bassetlaw Hospital will get three new en-suite single rooms with their own showers.
The rooms will be used by a range of women, either before or after their babies are born.
The work will be funded by a £189,000 grant from the Department of Health as part of a national scheme and is set to be completed in the next few months.
A separate scheme, funded by trust itself, will also see the creation of a new early pregnancy assessment unit at Bassetlaw Hospital. It will enable women who experience difficulties in early pregnancy or miscarry to be cared for in a sensitive way in a quiet, peaceful space well away from the maternity unit.
Deirdre Fowler, acting director of nursing and head of midwifery at the trust, said: "We deliver about 5,500 babies a year and we are very proud that so many women choose to give birth in our maternity units or to opt for home births with our midwives.
"Our whole philosophy is to ensure that each woman experiences the highest standard of care and has the best possible experience while under our care.
"These exciting developments will significantly enhance facilities for those women who choose to deliver their babies at DRI and Bassetlaw Hospital so we are very pleased to announce them."
A total 3,862 babies were born at the hospital last year.

re-install Kindle
NEWS: Please see my update on Kindle for Mac here!
You might not have noticed, but your Kindle for Mac has probably stopped syncing with Amazon since updating to OS X Lion, even if you have the most recent Kindle update. Even re-downloading it from Amazon doesn't solve the problem.
Here's how to fix it:
1. Delete Kindle.app from your Applications folder (don't panic! This doesn't delete your purchases or any added files, just the app).
2. Drag the Kindle icon off the Dock and release it anywhere on the desktop.
2. Click on the App Store icon on the Dock, search for Kindle and install.
3. Don't forget to make a new icon for your Dock by dragging the Kindle app over from Finder.
That's it! Syncing restored, but be aware that the App store version of Kindle is an old build. The latest Kindle build with support for Collections won't work with Lion yet. For that, we'll all have to wait on the developers…

I get this weird feeling about Bliss (and the whole TVAB album in general) that not only is it about everything else that Tori's said it was about in interviews, but that she also can't resist bragging JUST a bit about the awesome newlywed sex she had while on tour in '98. it just has that energy to me of "perform and rock the place one night, get laid the next. hell yeah."
and seriously—think about it. keep some of the lines ("supernova juice" anybody?) in mind with this theory.
and what's more, I think she'd cackle and grin at this if she were to read it. she certainly isn't afraid of bringing sex into an interpretation of some of her songs—in fact, she seems to embrace it, which is pretty cool if you ask me.

The discussions of the last three posts, while important to all organizations of any size, are probably most important for startups. The big guys can more easily survive a misstep in these areas.
A case in point: Microsoft has taken a decade to slowly drop in esteem amongst business as well as end users, and still has the ability to turn this around because they have both massive resources upon which to continue living upon, and because they are the entrenched, accepted platform for most business computing.
When every company is using your applications (Office) and your OS (Windows), it's both easier to forget to listen to your customers (and vendors, and developers), but also to stay alive long enough to change course. Microsoft has forgotten, but no one is yet saying they're a has-been company. Although with current competition from Apple, Linux and Google…and practically ceding the mobile market…well, we'll see.
Apple is another case. They slowly lost market share and business over a decade, but survived, largely because Microsoft needed competition to differentiate them in the marketplace. Now, of course, Apple is bigger than Microsoft.
Alas, the startup has no such "too big to fail (slowly)" net. Unless you a) are the dominant player in a market, and b) have massive resources at your disposal, you cannot afford to lose sight of these three areas: Customer Intimacy, Simplicity, and the Cost of a Dollar.
An illustration of the especial need for customer intimacy: Startups usually don't have the massive data that an entrenched company has built up over years. Likewise, Continue reading

Black Mom And Daughter Author New Cooking Survival Guide For Independent Children
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 6:40AM Bean Soup Times tagged books, cookbook, cooking, food in Entertainment, Media, community
Philadelphia, PA -- Savvy, hungry young adults are becoming more independent at an earlier age. This isn't a fad. Experts estimate that there is a growing trend among the ten million "latch-key" kids in the United States. They must fend for themselves in the kitchen or literally starve until their parent(s) return from work. According to the U.S. Census, one-third of all school age children arrive home after school to an empty unsupervised house for approx. 2 or more hours per day.
"Like me (and contrary to what most adults may believe), children prefer to munch on great delicious foods after school - not just empty snacks that don't really fill you up. Kids want quick, easy, "no-brainer" meals that they can prepare alone." Tiana North, author of the new book Go - Cook Something! continues, "Kids are smarter these days, more capable, more independent then ever before." Taliba Holliday, Tiana's mother and co-author agrees with her ever maturing, forever hungry teenager, "The Donna Reed days are essentially over. With over 71 million women in the workforce and an estimated 12 million single family households, today our kids must have dinner on the table when we get home."
Go - Cook Something! is more than just a cookbook. It's a humorous, honest yet serious survival guide and valuable resource for independent young adults between the ages of 8 and 18 (4th through 12 grades) who are venturing into the once foreign and hazardous territory commonly known as the kitchen. It is uniquely written from a peer's perspective. The book covers shopping logistics, economics and tips, price fluctuation, freezer buffet, safety, what's in a kitchen, spices and seasonings, cooking advice as well as over 65 simple recipes - some handed down through the family tree and some created by young Tiana North herself.
Furthermore, it encourages youth to go beyond just blindly following a standard recipe. It prompts them to think for themselves, plan ahead, to be experimental, to concentrate on "wholesome" foods and to customize recipes to their own particular tastes. "We influence our parents' buying, cooking and eating habits. We even influence what appliances and gadgets come into the home."
Tiana goes on to say, "The better we can feed ourselves, the better we can take care of ourselves as well as (she kids) our aging parents." "While I'm far from being as old as my daughter professes me to be," her energetic mom explains, "our children's culinary independence today will be key to their future success as adults who can make sound, nutritious and healthy decisions in regards to their diets."
Go - Cook Something! can be pre-ordered. The price is $15.95 plus shipping/handling. For more details and to pre-purchase online, visit www.go-cooksomething.com. It is also available online at Amazon.com. The publication date is August 2010.

What is Anti-Virus?
Anti-virus is the name given to software that detects and (where possible) removes viruses from messages. By removing viruses at the email server, all internal mail clients are protected AND all customers are protected from receiving viruses too.
Computer Viruses are written by people who wish to gain control of your system resources and are continually updated to try and break through any barriers you may have installed.

1) The key benefit to installing antivirus software is quite simply that it prevents a virus damaging your PC or network.
2) Protects your PC or network from viruses and other forms of malware.
3) Prevents downtime, i.e. valuable working time could be wasted if you can not access your PC due to a virus infection.
4) Protects valuable information on your PC.
5) Prevents other people outside of your organisation being able to access your information whether it is business or personal data.
6) Potentially prevents emails being sent by your system thereby damaging you and your organisation's reputation.
7) Some viruses access your email folders and send an email to all of your contacts with the virus attached.
8) Prevents the time consuming and unnecessary task of having to clean or remove the virus after the damage has been done.
9) Reduces the potential financial implications – getting the technical support required to achieve removal of the virus and to restore your lost information.
10) Legal implications – in some instances it is required to demonstrate that your organisation has taken reasonable measures to protect the information you hold about your customers and the email you exchange with them.

About the comic
Sandra and Woo is a comedy webcomic featuring the girl Sandra North and her pet raccoon Woo. While most strips are just supposed to be funny or tell an interesting story, some also deal with more serious topics such as the destruction of the environment. We also want to show what growing up means for Sandra and her best friends in middle school, Cloud and Larisa. Another regular feature of the comic are Woo's trips to the forest to meet his furry friends Shadow (a fox) and Sid (a squirrel) and his love interest Lily. Since fall 2009, a significant number of strips features Cloud and Larisa as main characters.

How old are the characters?
12 (11 at the start of the comic).
How did you come up with the idea for Sandra and Woo?
Sandra and Woo was my [Novil's] idea. In summer 2008, I came up with some ideas for a comic strip featuring a girl and her pet raccoon. The script for the strip that eventually became Love at First Sight was among the first three scripts put to paper. Like many scripts, this one was re-written several times before publishing. The other two scripts will most likely remain unpublished because they are just not very good. I then started to work on the comic strip by writing more scripts and introducing additional characters. While Shadow and Sid were originally supposed to play a larger role, Cloud and Larisa were supposed to be rather minor characters, just some random friends of Sandra.
How did Novil and Powree start to work together?
After writing two dozen scripts for Sandra and Woo, I [Novil] posted a job offer in the ConceptArt.org and DigitalWebbing.com forums in October 2008. I got over 60 replies and Powree, who read my offer at DigitalWebbing.com, was my first choice. Just one week later, we published the first Sandra and Woo strip on our website.
What's your process when creating a strip?
Our process is like this:
- The Work on a new strip starts with Novil having an idea for an interesting scenario or a funny dialog line. Usually, but not always, he then makes a note of it in a Word document.
- At least a month before publishing, Novil sits down and writes the full script based on this idea. This involves re-writing the dialog so that it's shorter or sounds more natural. The full script also includes a detailed description of the environment and the poses and facial expressions of the characters.
- At least two weeks before publishing, Powree draws a sketch (the ones that you can see as voting incentives on TopWebcomics) with her Wacom tablet and Manga Studio and shows it to Novil.
- After having a look at the sketch, Novil often requests a few minor changes. This often involves changing the facial expression of a character in one panel which just doesn't look right in his eyes yet. Major changes to the layout of a strip are almost never necessary.
- At least one week before publishing, Powree draws the final strip with Manga Studio, including the word bubbles, and sends it to Novil.
- Sometimes, Novil is of the opinion that some late changes are necessary, for example if one word bubble turned out too small. He is usually able to do these minor changes himself using PhotoImpact.
- When the artwork is completed, Novil puts the dialog into the word bubbles using Photoshop.
- Novil then makes the strip ready for publication using PhotoImpact and IfranView and posts it on the website.
Can I post a Sandra and Woo strip on my website / blog / forum?
Yes, you can, as long as it's noncommercial. Sandra and Woo is published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. See the Legal stuff chapter for details.
Can I translate Sandra and Woo into another language?
No, you aren't allowed to change the English or German text of the strips! We had a bad experience with a fan-made Spanish translation since its quality didn't meet our standard. There's also the chance that a translator misses some subtleties of the dialog which will become important sometime later in the story. It's also the rule rather than the exception that webcomic translators lose interest after a while, leaving behind just a few dozen translated comics. If you want to post a Sandra and Woo strip on a website (see above), you should provide the translation beneath the strip.
Do you do link exchanges?
No. Each comic listed on our link page is there because we believe that it's a good comic that our readers might enjoy, not because we had to put it there in exchange for a backlink.
Can you draw a comic/illustration for me that I need for…?
No matter what you need the comic/illustration for, the answer to that question is most likely "No." It's already a lot of work to maintain our regular update schedule, so we have basically no time to do other things on top of that. At least not for free.
Is Sandra and Woo suitable for children?
Sandra and Woo contains swearing, serious topics and adult oriented jokes, but nothing explicit that might traumatize children.
Why is the size of the word bubbles inconsistent?
The word bubbles are drawn by Powree and the text is added afterwards by Novil. It is therefore possible that some word bubbles are a bit too big or small. But that's by far not as important as the fact that all Sandra and Woo strips are published in German and English. German sentences can be twice as long as their English equivalent. Because of this, some word bubbles may appear unnecessarily large in the English version although they're just right for the German translation.
Why do you have so many editors?
We have so many editors because it's very important to us to publish comics without any grammatical errors or weird phrases.

- "Sandra and Woo is so much fun you want to check them for every update, […]"

Undocumented Pebblebrook Grad Has Hope
One 2012 Pebblebrook grad shares his dreams and story of being an undocumented student in Georgia.
There wasn't a face in the van that looked familiar. He was riding to a place he'd never heard of surrounded by people he'd never seen before, and Rolando Zenteno began to panic. He was 7 and he began to cry. "Where's my mom?" he asked in Spanish. It was 2001, and Rolando's mother had been told to return to Mexico at one point during the nine-hour trip by border officials, Rolando said. He was asleep when she slipped away. "Imagine you're 7 years old, and your mom's not there, and you don't know what's going on," Rolando said. "It was hell. I was practically traumatized. I didn't know what was going on." A woman in the van tried to soothe Rolando, telling him that his mother was at the store and would return in a couple of hours. After …

Brian Woodall of Dagenham and Redbridge (Dave Simpson/TGSPHOTO)
Monday, July 16, 2012
Daggers boss John Still hoping there is more to come from Woodall after penning a three-year deal to stay at Victoria Road.
Dagenham & Redbridge striker Brian Woodall has signed a new three-year deal to keep him at Victoria Road.
Woodall joined from non league side Gresley last summer and proved a revelation in his first season at the club, scoring 13 goals in their League Two campaign, including three in the final day 4-0 win over Bristol Rovers.
There had been speculation towards the end of last season linking the striker with a move to Championship side Nottingham Forest but the 24-year-old has now penned a new deal at the club as he looks to spearhead the frontline this season.
Speaking on the re-signing Daggers boss John Still told the club website: "Brian has signed a new contract and of course we're all delighted, he came here last year from Gresley FC and made a fantastic impression.
"He worked really hard and I'm sure if he keeps working hard there is a good future for him here and we're all hoping that this upcoming season will be a big one for him.

Judge GIVES APPLE THE FINGER in multitouch iDevice patent case
Or more accurately, lets Samsung give Cupertino two
Samsung is allowed to make phones that enable users to use two fingers on the screen at once, ruled a Dutch judge today, kicking out Apple's infringement claim over its multitouch patent.
Apple's claim was dismissed and it was ordered to pay Samsung's litigation costs this morning by Judge Peter Blok and two other judges at the court in the Hague.
The court agreed with Samsung's defence that the technique it uses to enable multitouch on its Android phones differs from the technique Apple uses.
The Apple patent specifically describes a method for switching off part of a touchscreen when two fingers are being used, to avoid confused input.
According to an IDG news report, Apple's method gives each different part of the screen exclusivity – allowing two parts to work simultaneously but disabling the rest. Android uses what is described as a more "hierarchical" system.
Apple's bid to sue another Android manufacturer, HTC, over the same patent in the UK was kicked out in July.
Samsung told The Reg:
We welcome today's ruling, which affirms our position that our products do not infringe Apple's intellectual property. For decades, we have heavily invested in pioneering the development of technological and design innovations in the mobile industry, which have been constantly reflected in our products.
A trial over the multi-touch patent is ongoing in Germany.
Apple can appeal the judgment. ®
Good to see some common sense. But it won't be long before Another Puerile Patent Lawsuit Erupts
Another European judge reaches a sensible decision. Meanwhile, in the US where they let the public loose on civil cases replete with legal and technical complexities, juries reach incomprehensible decisions. Am I detecting a pattern, here?
Obviously they lack buttons
Didn't Apple ever hear of N-Key Rollover?
Gesture based editing pre 1989?
More Apple patents the USPO needs to invalidate.
Yes and no
Yes, you are detecting a pattern, but no it's not the pattern you think. The pattern, specifically in the Apple/Samsung spat, has centered on the tendency of non-US courts to look at the facts, while US courts seem to only care about protecting American companies. Like any stereotype, there's sure to be plenty of exceptions.

I have launched a project to publish my first cookbook on Kickstarter! The Gourmet Grilled Cheese Cookbook is an ode to one of my favorite foods. The recipes are all original, and they are much more than just cheese and bread. The photo above is of my cheesy artichoke, spinach, and red pepper grilled cheese. The 20 recipes in The Gourmet Grilled Cheese aren't sandwiches, they are masterpieces.
You might be wondering why I decided to use Kickstarter, or why I decided to write a cookbook instead of just blogging. It is a bit of an experiment really, I want to see if people are interested in having my recipes in book form. I love blogging, but I also want to publish a cookbook. The recipes in the cookbook will be original to the cookbook and not included on the blog. Using Kickstarter is the perfect way to find backers and fund my project without taking on any personal financial risk. I have my fingers crossed that my project will reach its $2000 goal, but if it doesn't I won't loose any money.
I would be very flattered if you would consider contributing to my Kickstarter campaign or help spread the world. The cookbook will be available as an ebook for $15 and in hardcover for $60. The books will be published in full color, and there will be photographs for every recipe.
