I and my friend are about to get a deal to fund our B plan. This plan aligns with the expansion plans of the funding company. The deal offered is that of partnership in which we two would be having a stake + salary + a performance bonus, while the funding company would be giving the back-end support (procurement, help and assistance) + all the financial investment (we would be given a fixed amount at different points of time). So in a way, we are getting a stake for the idea and its implementation. The brand would be theirs and likewise, some terms are there; while the control will be ours. What minimum stake we should bargain to? In the salaried as well as non-salaried scenario? (Currently we are been told that we'll have 20-25% + a fixed amount per month. Also, we are been told that the expansion would be quicker than if we start on our own + they would be expanding their backend alongwith the rate at which we grow.
I just had a terrible experience with this, which I am now trying to get of. Of course, every situation is unique, but I wish I had retained faith in myself and merely pursued the start-up on my own. The project is now several months behind schedule as I sit and wait for for their bureaucratic processes to trickle down and approve my designs.... Yes, I am now getting paid, rather than working for free on my dream, but it is NOT worth it! If you can afford it, do it on your own! |
Sounds stupid, but seriously - if you accept that, it is not "your startup" anymore, at least the way you describe it. Actually I would say you turn into an mjority owned subsidiary of your investor. And you dont have any ssaying - with only 20%+25%. |
It depends on what you want to achieve. If you need cash, go for it. But as Lindsay said, say bye to personality. Also you won't be able to sell shares at good stakes, so if you fail you are in the same boat as if you would do it all by yourself. Doing it by yourself is just without the starting money from investors, but also without losing your idea to major shareholder and other cons like being told of what to do, rather than choosing what to do by yourself. |

Denver, my son, wanted to show you his most recent favorite game in the App Store. It's called Subway Surfers and it's a lot like Temple Run only you're running from the police… The goal is to collect coins to get upgrades like fasters shoes and different characters. Check out the video and download it free in the App Store. [Read more...]
Bike Race
I recently installed a new motorcycle game over the Christmas holiday called "Bike Race". I have to warn you, this game is highly addictive! The game itself is addicting enough because of the nature of the game. But, what's even more addicting is the ability to play with others online including your Facebook friends. I currently have several games going with both Facebook friends and random people I've met through the game.
The game itself is pretty simple. You steer a motorcycle through a race track viewed from a two-dimensional angle on the side. A game I play on the Xbox called "Trials HD" is a lot like it but this version is not as high graphic. Nevertheless, it's still as addictive! [Read more...]
A recent game my son and I found for the iPhone that's pretty addicting is called Robotek. There is also an iPad version and even a version for your Mac. You start off with only one robot and you play against the computer who also has one robot. The first thing you do is spin three reels to see what kind of help you can get to defeat your opponent. There are also three different categories you can spin the reels in: little robots, defense & offense. Once you pick the category, you tap the green arrow and see what you get. If you spin three different images you get all three. If you spin two or three of the same image, you get that item at two or three times the strength. I like to start out with getting at least three robots. Then prepare a defense; then go on the attack. Between each spin there is a battle and it's a fight to the death. [Read more...]
Angry Birds Space HD 1.3.1 Update
The recent update to Angry Birds Space adds yet another angle to the Angry Birds matrix. The theme adds fiery volcanoes that push you away from the planet's surface. The developers went to great detail as usual. For example, when I hit a pig out of the atmosphere and he froze, when he floated past the hot pressure from a volcano he thawed out. There were only about 2-3 levels that really took me a while to pass. Most others I beat within 1-3 tries. [Read more...]
Warning: Free, Addictive Game – CSR Racing
If you're looking for a free, super addicting game for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, check out CSR Racing in the App Store. It's currently in the top free apps and is the top grossing game. I've successfully played the game without buying anything. It's very doable and still really fun. The game is a drag racing game where you control your start, shifting & when to use your nitro boost. You can use prize money and coins to upgrade your car or buy a new one. [Read more...]
Bubble Ball – Created by an 8th Grader
This game is pretty simple but still challenging. You start with a ball and some different shapes and use the shapes to get the ball to the flag. Sounds simple, but here's the catch: The app was developed by a 14 year old in 8th grade. The app is free for iPhone & iPad and has a few more levels that can be purchased for $0.99. What's even more amazing is that it was once the most downloaded free app in the App Store. [Read more...]
Angry Birds Rio
Our family loves Angry Birds so we were excited to see a new version called Angry Birds Rio. Apparently we're not the only one who likes the new version because it's currently the #1 selling app in the App Store as I write this article. Instead of crashing birds into pigs who've stole your eggs, now you're trying to crash into cages of birds to help release them. There's also different levels with monkeys in trees and a big bad guy bird you have to knock out of the sky. There is a catch to this game. All the levels have not been released yet. Only section 1 and 2 are ready and the rest will be released throughout the year. [Read more...]
Jigsaw Puzzle for iPad
My son loves to do puzzles so I thought I'd check out this app for the iPad that lets you create your own puzzle from a picture you provide. First, you start off by picking the picture you want to use. You can choose from any picture in your saved pictures or the ones you sync to your iPad. Once you've selected your image, you can choose between 4 different size puzzle pieces. You can also change the background color or image from the setup button. Now that you're ready you can hit the start button and start putting together the puzzle. As soon as you hit start, a timer begins counting how long it's taking you. You can swipe back and forth through the pieces along the bottom and, just like a real puzzle, it's easier to start with the border pieces. You can pinch and zoom on the picture and workspace to see better and there is a preview button, which I'd call a cheat button, because it allows you to see the finished picture dimmed in the background. After playing or finishing the puzzle you can save the game or the entire picture and send to Facebook and Twitter or email it. [Read more...]
Ragdoll Blaster 2 – Free For Limited Time
For a limited time, Ragdoll Blaster 2 is free for the iPhone and iPod touch. The developers are trying to promote the new version of the app for the iPad ($4.99). This game is really addicting and has 4 1/2 stars in the App Store. It comes with over 150 levels and there is some great creativity in the designing of some of these levels. I definitely recommend downloading this game. [Read more...]

Li-Air Battery Charges New Interest
The green activists can finally catch a wink; all thanks to a few UK researchers. If you have just pictured a new form of a drug or some hypnotic mumbo-jumbo, then you are totally wrong. These researchers have bettered a technique for long-lasting, rechargeable, high-performance, high specific energy density batteries. Let me break it down to you, just so that you can understand what the excitement is all about.
You will soon be able to take an 800+ kilometer drive in your electric car, talk all week on your mobile phone without even charging and traffic that doesn't emit any green house gases.
I bet you are all ears now. But I can't guarantee you how soon 'soon' will be.
A research team, led by Prof Peter G Bruce, of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, is steering towards a fully functional Lithium-Air battery that boasts of a chemical reaction that leaves a very narrow space for the electrode degradation and lower costs. Besides long life, this battery gives a better scope to the electric cars, which are at present limited by the relatively inefficient and costly battery technology used. Before we dive into the details, here is a brief note on batteries based on Li – don't worry, this is neither a science class nor a history lesson.
Lithium Battery: This is a non-rechargeable primary battery where the Li metal or its compounds act as an anode. Though these have high energy density, the battery might be costlier than the equipment itself, in a few applications. High currents and at times the possibility of an explosion limit their use and can develop complications.
Lithium-ion Battery: These are a favorite first choice in the consumer electronics circle given that it is the best option for a rechargeable, portable and more durable one. They are being used even in electric cars. Anode is a layered oxide and the electrolyte is a lithium-ion complex. During the functioning, the lithium ions get deposited on the cathode. When a voltage higher than the normal battery working voltage is applied, the process is reversed. The minus point is that it lasts from a few hundreds to a few thousand cycles, making it less preferable as of now.
Lithium-Air Battery: This is not a new venture. This concept had been proposed back in the 70's and falls under the metal-air category. The oxygen, available freely in the atmosphere, combines at the cathode with the Li ions forming lithium peroxide and lithium oxide which accumulates as the battery is discharged.
The problem is that the lithium oxide radical, an intermediate product, decomposes the electrodes rapidly. The UK researchers have used a thin gold film as an electrode and developed the mechanism to produce the intended action repeatedly without decomposition. Since oxygen is freely available in the nature, the weight of this type will be less than that of a conventional battery. The researchers are at present trying other combinations such as lithium-sulfur and lithium-seawater.
The actual reason this technology is pursued is the eye-poppingly high theoretical energy density of 12 kWh/kg. As of now, a mere 10% is realizable, and on top of that it costs you an arm and a leg to realize it, due to larger size, protection elements and set-up cost these high-end batteries need. On the bright side, with a little investment, we might as well say that this is a glimpse of the future.

One minute your in the middle of china town, next your in the Kensington markets. Full of restaurants of all cuisine's and endless thrift shopping it is definitely the place to visit while staying in Toronto.
On one side you can buy Mimolette cheese and on the other side of the road there is Coco Bread with Patty (Jamaican Food). Its colorful, vibrant and fun.
Try to visit the Market and the very interesting Kensington Market Walk which features the graffiti art of local artists.
What a great market. Lots of street vendors, delicious restaurants and great stores. Fun place to walk around.
Historic area of town that has been a cultural centre for many different groups of immigrants over the years. One of Toronto's oldest synagogues is in the middle of Kensington and is still operational. Monthly street festival in the summer.
Had never been to the Kensington area before but enjoyed this visit to the max. Wonderful little shops and cafes. Every kind of interest is covered in this small area of Toronto. We sat for lunch in a little open air spot watching people, wide variety of characters for sure!!! Make time if u have a free afternoon.
Great little shoppes, good butcher, good baker a tons of places to eat. You can even find a place to 'smoke' if you look!
Coffee shops, restaurants, bars, cheese, meat, seafood, Vegis, flowers, ethnic, art, vintage and funky clothing, bakeries, hardware, etc. lots to do and see. Plan on staying awhile and make sure you cover all the side streets.
During Easter weekend, walked over to Kensington market. It was a first for me. I walked around for several hours, taking in the many wonderful sights and sounds of the eclectic stores , shops, and restaurants. Will definitely go back for more
We had a wonderful day Wandering Kensington Market...be sure to visit the Blue Banana! What a great store! Fun!

First NYE in my new country
New Year's Eve in The Netherlands. I'm not sure how to tackle explaining this night, because if I were in America I would just grab friends by the shoulders and scream "The fireworks! Jesus H. Christ, the fireworks!" with a terrified glint in my eye. To say fireworks are enjoyed in this country is a gross understatement yet I can't seem to find an overstatement fitting enough. Dutch folk spent around 65 million euros (about $100 million) on fireworks this past year, according to recent estimates. That may not sound crazy until you consider the size of this country relative to America and the fact that they can only legally buy fireworks during the three days before New Year's. And apparently that number is quite low compared to previous years.
Dutch folk aren't buying just buying sparklers - they go for the big guns, arrows exploding in the sky, powerful firecrackers (which shake apartment buildings when tossed into sewage lines), and other things you wouldn't want near your hands. I went for a run the morning of New Year's Eve and ran into quite a few tweens on the bikes with bags from the pop-up firework shops over their shoulders. Some even stopped before they got home to let off a few bangs and pows along the canals - they couldn't wait. Fireworks have been going off all week, no matter day or night, but the worst was New Year's Eve when the kids were up before the sun begging parents to let them set fire to explosives in the parking lot. So much for sleeping in! Despite some bad hip-hop on my iPod, my run was peppered with near and distant explosions while I inhaled sulfuric smoke from mortars and rockets. The cows I jog past didn't seem to care, though the ducks were absent from their usual spot along my route. And this was all before 10 a.m. The evening's display was something I don't think I'll ever be able to convey other than to say it's most likely similar to what Baghdad residents experienced during the shock and awe of March 2003 without the purposeless death and destruction. The fireworks went off non-stop, all around the city. Breda seemed like a bad nightclub, with colorful blinking lights from fireworks against the smoke-filled sky. I couldn't help but wile out with our friends at the party since being surrounded by heart-shaking explosions just makes one want to run around a bit and scream, taking care not to spill the champagne.
A more adorable experience happened after the clock struck midnight. Never have I been around folks counting down in a different language and while it's obvious they wouldn't count down in English, it was one of those moments that remind you that you're in a different place - far from home. In America when the ball drops we pop the bubbly and yell "Happy New Year!" and get back to drinking and dancing. Here in The Netherlands people take a moment to congratulate each person in the room with a handshake and/or the obligatory (and overkill) three kisses. I'm serious - every single person. I stood around watching in awe as the nearly 25 people in this tiny apartment bumbled about the living room saying "gelukkig nieuw jaar." Dutch people complain that Americans our over-polite and insincere and I say Dutch people can be just as much so with their bourgeois kisses, but in this moment I felt a real sense of hope and congratulations among this group of 20-somethings. There's always a hopeful feeling at the beginning of a new year and once my head cleared from that inevitable champagne headache, I felt it too.

The Sony Xperia Go is the best rugged handset on the market, but its outdated Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system and bloatware stop it having any real appeal to the mass market.
Sturdy handset that survives more than the usual wear and tear, waterproof, decent camera.
Bloatware, outdated Android 2.3 operating system, unattractive.
Price: £229
Manufacturer: Sony
The Sony Xperia Go builds on the legacy set by the company's previous Xperia Active handset, targeting the niche rugged smartphone market, promising users a handset capable of surviving more than the usual wear and tear.
Design and build
For the Go, while Sony has kept the same hard-line, angular design seen on its more expensive Xperia S and P handsets, it is significantly less streamlined and visually pleasing. This is largely because the company has been forced to make several major concessions to ensure the device managed to get an IP67 rating - a scoring system that measures the device's resistance to elements like water and dust.
This means that while the Go can survive water submersion up to one-metre deep for 30 minutes and take significantly more punishment than your average smartphone, it isn't all that pretty. The device features a significantly more plastic feel than the S and P, and features plugs that cover its headphone and Micro USB ports. The plugs are fairly ugly sticking awkwardly out from the device's sides, though those with a taste for a more industrial looking smartphone may like their inclusion.
Despite its awkward plugs we found the handset was fairly comfortable in hand, measuring in at 111x60x9.8mm and weighing 110g. Designed for people with active lifestyles or jobs that require them to occasionally get their hands dirty, we found the Go is a really nice size, being pocket friendly and easily fitting into most shoulder straps for those that want to use it while exercising.
The Xperia Go features a 3.5in 320x480 touch-screen that features the same Bravia engine technology seen in other more expensive Sony smartphones. The technology means that despite its modest resolution the Go's screen provides sharp and clear graphics even when used in less than ideal outdoor lighting conditions and viewed at awkward angles.
The Go's screen durability also impressed us, with our tests proving that the smartphone does live up to Sony's scratch-proof claims. Additionally as an added perk, the Go's screen features technology that lets you use it while wet, something most other smartphone displays struggle with.
We submerged the device in a bowl of water to test the screen's usability when wet and found that just after being removed the screen immediately recognised all our commands, coming close to matching its responsiveness while dry.
Processor: 1GHz dual-core
Display: 3.5in, 320x480 touch-screen
Storage: 4GB
Camera: 5MP rear-facing
Connectivity: GSM/HSPA+, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
Ports: Micro USB, microSD card slot
Operating system: Android 2.3 Gingerbread
Dimensions: 111x60x9.8mm
Weight: 110g

The Raiders are struggling to keep pace with the Buccaneers, and they tried a fake punt. It didn't go well.
Most times when fake punt passes fail to convert the fourth down, it's because the punter is tackled or makes a terrible throw. Shane Lechler took the snap and successfully completed a pass to Taiwan Jones, but Jones made it about four yards before fumbling.
He would recover his own fumble, but...yeesh. Maybe next time you try to fake punt pass, don't rely on third-string running backs making up 10 yards after the catch.

Critical Review by Adrienne Rich
SOURCE: Rich, Adrienne. "Reflections on Lawrence." Poetry 106, no. 3 (June 1965): 218-25.
In the following review of The Complete Poems of D. H. Lawrence, Rich suggests that this collection is essential to understanding the depth and breadth of Lawrence's significance as a major poet.
"Thought," he says in More Pansies, "is a man in his wholeness wholly attending." Have his readers wholly attended to him? "But, my dear God, when I see all the understanding and suffering and the pure intelligence necessary for the simple perceiving of poetry, then I know it is an almost hopeless business to publish the stuff at all," he wrote to Harriet Monroe. It seems scarcely possible that the old charges of hysteria, anti-craftmanship, can still be leveled, that his own references to "the demon" (in the Preface to the Collected Poems, 1928) can still be misread. ("From the first, I was a little...

I have a teen son of 14 years and I think he is having a diffcult time which depression and anger. Today I was off work and thought I would clear up his room a bit. When I started I noticed that he had left his computer up and running. As a Dad I thought to look around a bit on his computer. What I found disturbed me.
He had a number of note files that had allot of cussing (Profanity) at about everything and everyone inclusing his Mother and I. In the letters it was surrounded by hatred and anger which I beleive to be coming from depression.
About a 6-9 months ago he ran away from his Mother at Walmart. She having to call for the police to come to help fine him. We when through the formalities of asking him why. Which he never could give us a answer. Later on some months after his Mom had mentioned that he ran away he told her he didn't remember every doing that.
In these notes he said he wished he was dead and that he felt like we were lieing to him that he wasn't our child, but felt like and oprah. The thing is that in school which he said he hated and all the people, he is on the A-B honor roll.
There's alot more involved here, but I'm not sure which direction to begin. Any thoughts and advice is appreciated.

Central Railroad of New Jersey

Successor | Conrail |

The Central Railroad of New Jersey, also known as the Jersey Central or Jersey Central Lines (reporting mark CNJ), was a Class I railroad with origins in the 1830s. It was absorbed into Conrail in April 1976 along with several other prominent bankrupt railroads of the northeastern United States.
The earliest railroad ancestor of the CNJ was the Elizabethtown & Somerville Railroad, incorporated in 1831 and opened from Elizabethport to Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1836. Horses gave way to steam in 1839, and the railroad was extended west, reaching Somerville at the beginning of 1842. The Somerville & Easton Railroad was incorporated in 1847 and began building westward. In 1849 it purchased the Elizabethtown & Somerville and adopted a new name: Central Railroad Company of New Jersey. The line reached Phillipsburg, on the east bank of the Delaware River, in 1852. It was extended east across Newark Bay to Jersey City in 1864, and it gradually acquired branches to Flemington, Newark, Perth Amboy, Chester, and Wharton.[1]
The New Jersey Southern (NJS) began construction in 1860 at Port Monmouth. The railroad worked its way southwest across lower New Jersey and reached Bayside, on the Delaware River west of Bridgeton, New Jersey in 1871. The NJS came under control of the CNJ in 1879. CNJ's influence briefly extended across the Delaware River in the form of the Baltimore & Delaware Bay Railroad, from Bombay Hook, Delaware, east of Townsend, to Chestertown, Maryland. That line became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) family in 1901.[1]
CNJ's lines in Pennsylvania were built by the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company as the Lehigh & Susquehanna Railroad (L&S). The main line was completed between Phillipsburg, New Jersey and Wilkes-Barre in 1866. A notable feature of the line was the Ashley Planes, a steep stretch of line (maximum grade was 14.65%) operated by cables driven by stationary engines, which remained in service until after World War II (WWII). CNJ leased the L&S in 1871. The line was extended to Scranton in 1888 by a subsidiary of the L&S, the Wilkes-Barre & Scranton; L&S leased the line upon completion and assigned the lease to the CNJ. The bulk of the traffic on the Pennsylvania lines was anthracite coal, much of it produced by subsidiaries of the railroad, until the Commodities Clause of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1920 forbade railroads to haul freight in which they had an interest.[1]
From 1883 to 1887 the CNJ was leased to and operated by the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad, with which it formed a New York-Philadelphia route. CNJ resumed its own management after reorganization in 1887. In 1901, the Reading Company (RDG), successor to the Philadelphia & Reading, acquired control of the CNJ through purchase of a majority of its stock, and at about the same time Baltimore and Ohio Railroad acquired control of the RDG, gaining access to New York over RDG and CNJ rails.[1][2]
In 1929, CNJ inaugurated the Blue Comet, a deluxe coach train operating twice daily between Jersey City and Atlantic City. It was painted blue from the pilot of its 4-6-2 to the rear bulkhead of its observation car, and its refurbished cars offered a level of comfort much higher than the usual day coach of the era. The train was the forerunner of the coach streamliners that blossomed nationwide in the late 1930s and the 1940s. Unfortunately, it succumbed to automobile competition in 1941. Also in 1929 CNJ purchased a 30% interest in the Raritan River Railroad, a 12-mile (19 km) short line from Perth Amboy to New Brunswick. In 1931 it acquired total ownership of the Wharton & Northern Railroad and a partial interest in the Mount Hope Mineral Railroad from Warren Foundry & Pipe Corporation.[1]
The lines in Pennsylvania were organized as the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania (CRP) in 1946 in an effort to escape taxation by the state of New Jersey. CNJ resumed its own operation of the Pennsylvania lines at the end of 1952. The CRP continued in existence as owner of the Easton & Western, four miles of track in Easton, Pennsylvania.[1]

When the Lehigh and New England Railroad was abandoned in 1961 CNJ acquired a few of its branches and organized them as the Lehigh and New England Railway. In 1963 Lehigh Coal & Navigation sold its railroad properties to the RDG, but the lease to the CNJ continued. In 1965 CNJ and the Lehigh Valley Railroad consolidated their lines along the Lehigh River in Pennsylvania and portions of each railroad's line were abandoned; the anthracite traffic that had supported both railroads had largely disappeared. CNJ operations in Pennsylvania ended March 31, 1972.[1]
CNJ maintained a small carfloat terminal in the Bronx. It was the site of the first successful Class 1 railroad diesel operation. Over the years CNJ maintained an extensive marine operation on New York Bay, including a steamer line to Sandy Hook. CNJ's last marine service, the ferry line between Manhattan and CNJ's rail terminal at Jersey City, made its last run on April 30, 1967. It was also the last day for the terminal itself; the next day CNJ passenger trains began originating and terminating at the PRR station in Newark via the Aldene Connection, where New York passengers could transfer to either PRR or Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) trains.[1]
The years after WWII were not kind to CNJ. Passenger traffic was almost entirely commuter business, requiring great amounts of rolling stock for two short periods five days a week. Three-fourths of CNJ's freight traffic terminated on line — the railroad was essentially a terminal carrier, which meant little profit was made, if any. In addition, heavy taxes levied by the state of New Jersey ate up much of CNJ's revenue. The state of New Jersey began subsidizing commuter service in 1964, and the tax situation changed in 1967. The merger between the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and Norfolk and Western Railway that was proposed in 1965 to counter the impending PRR-New York Central Railroad merger was to have included CNJ, but the bankruptcy of Penn Central killed that prospect. CNJ drafted elaborate plans for reorganization; they came to naught as neighboring railroads collapsed. Conrail took over the railroad properties and freight operations of the CNJ on April 1, 1976; New Jersey Transit purchased the routes over which it now operates its North Jersey Coast Line and Raritan Valley Line.[1]
CNJ emerged from bankruptcy in 1979 as Central Jersey Industries (later CJI Industries), a corporate shell. It merged with the packaging company Triangle Industries, owned by Nelson Peltz, in 1986.

The longest night
For the Week of May 25, 2009
Llanview has had more than its share of crazy people that arrive with an axe to grind, so bringing in more didn't seem like a good idea.
I don't think I've ever been happier to see a new day begin in Llanview than I was last week. One night felt like it lasted 2 weeks, and I thought I would never see the characters change clothes! It was literally a night to remember, as Marty's memories came flooding back, Jessica began to have flashbacks of Tess giving birth to Chloe, Natalie and Jared revealed their latest secret, T�a and Blair were caught in peril, and Gigi finally took charge.
I was not looking forward to revisiting the Spring Fling story. Llanview has had more than its share of crazy people that arrive with an axe to grind, so bringing in more didn't seem like a good idea. Powell, Zack both wanted Todd to suffer, and they both managed to use people close to him to do it. A lot of this story felt like filler because the main event was getting to the KAD house. It was hard to remain interested in this story, especially when it was revealed that Powell was the serial killer. He's been off screen for years, and I think it's a major letdown for a serial killer to be someone who isn't currently on the show. However, I loved how Marty regained her memory. It was chilling to see the rape scenes flash on the screen and to see how they affected Marty. With Todd's prompting, she was able to remember the rape and then the happier times, like her life with Patrick and the birth of her son. When her memories came back, I could see fear, pain, happiness, relief, sadness, and surprise. Susan Haskell did an amazing job of showing us how Marty felt at regaining each memory, and she proved once again why she is an award winning actress. Now that she has her memories back and can fully resume her life. I like that the irony of Todd helping her regain her memories wasn't lost on her. He kept her memories from her for months, but he was the one who could help her in the end. Todd and Marty seem to have reached a new understanding and have almost bonded over their grandchild. It will be interesting to see if the Mannings and Thornharts can manage to get along for the sake of Hope. I think it really is a new beginning for both families. As I said, I wasn't looking forward to revisiting the rape again, but Todd and Marty shared some good scenes last week, and I think they and their families can move forward together.
The other good thing about the KAD story was the struggle between T�a and Blair to reach an understanding and to survive. Watching two people who despise each other be forced to work together has always been one of my favorite parts of soap operas. We've seen this many times over the years, whether it was Viki and Dorian, Lindsay and Nora, or Evangeline and Natalie to name a few. T�a and Blair couldn't stop themselves from trading barbs or from displaying general anger towards the other. However, they both knew they had to work together if they had any chance of surviving. When they realized all they could do was wait to be rescued, they managed to have an honest discussion about why they dislike each other and how things might have been different for them if Todd hadn't been in the picture. I don't think T�a and Blair will ever be friends, but perhaps they can be civil to each other after going through such a harrowing experience! T�a was even willing to tell Blair her secret, but true to soap opera form, she was prevented from doing so. What could her secret be? I hope it's not that she had Todd's child when she was away from Llanview. This plot device is so overused on soaps that I am tired of it. I hope the writers will be creative with whatever it is, so that it will truly be shocking when she reveals it! Of course, now that she's in a coma indefinitely, it could be a very long time before we hear anything about it. I just hope it's not forgotten, like Allison Perkins' secret was after she went into a coma! It will be interesting to see how Blair and T�a interact when T�a wakes up and if T�a is still willing to share her secret. I am sure Blair won't forget about it, so T�a will be in a difficult position when she regains consciousness!
I am thrilled that the truth about the baby switch is finally being revealed. I never like the idea of this story, especially since it was inserted into a story with a lot of drama already. As I've said, baby switches have become a form of lazy storytelling on soaps. We've seen it all before; we know what will happen. Aside from the baby switch being connected to the serial killer story, there wasn't anything that happened that was shocking. We saw Starr, Cole, Marcie, and others grieve for Hope. We heard many characters hit us over the head with phrases like Hope is gone, we lost Hope, Hope died, we don't have Hope, etc. I think every single viewer understood why the baby was named Hope after all of the dialogue that was as subtle as a falling anvil. We also saw Starr hold "Chloe" and lament the loss of Hope. We heard Jessica say she didn't bond with "Chloe" in the same way as she did with Bree. I get it! Now that we've been through all of that, it's finally time for the truth.
The truth is coming out in a couple of different ways, which is actually more interesting than I thought. Natalie and Jared told Viki, Clint, and Charlie about the latest secret about family ties and were surprised that their family was upset. These two never learn, do they? I think even Natalie realized she sounded ridiculous as she tried to justify their decision to keep "Chloe's" true identity a secret. I am glad Natalie and Jared got married; they are perfect each other, especially when it comes to inappropriate rationalization! I am glad that they decided to tell the truth after Chloe was taken, though. I give them credit for not holding onto the secret for their own good when her family needed the information. Maybe there is hope for them after all (no pun intended!). It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch Viki hear the news and realize that it actually was plausible. She, like no one else in the family, understands how alters operate. Clint didn't understand in quite the same way, but I could tell Viki had very few doubts about Bess switching the babies. I think this story would have been more interesting if Viki had discovered the truth on her own. It has always been a mistake, in my opinion, not to make Viki a bigger part of Jessica's battle with DID. However, I do think the scenes made for interesting drama, and I couldn't wait for Clint and Viki to get the hospital to tell Jessica the truth.
At the same, Jessica started having flashbacks of Tess and Bess right after she discovered that Chloe was missing. She couldn't stop the return of these memories and couldn't handle them. Fortunately, Brody knew about Jessica's DID and had experienced it before, so he didn't buy Jessica's story about merely passing out. I agree with Clint's assessment that Jessica knows that Chloe really isn't her baby, at least subconsciously. Her reaction to Clint and Viki trying to hold Chloe is proof of that. However, before Jessica could figure it all out, Bess stepped in with a conveniently located pair of glasses and left the hospital with "Chloe." I don't know why Viki, Clint, and Brody decided to leave Jessica alone in the room, given Jessica's condition. Bess must count on people not being too intuitive to accomplish her missions! There was something creepy and almost funny about Bess singing to "Chloe" in the car. Only Bess would make a point of enunciating every word perfectly! As Bess drove away, Bo and everyone else stared at a map of Llanview. I kind of wonder why the LPD doesn't have better tools and technology to locate cars and people than an old map. It seems like that car might have a GPS or a lojack! Bess could drive a long way before anyone figures out where she is going at this rate! When Bess is found and Jessica learns the truth, I am sure it will make for good drama. I just hope we don't have to wait too long for it all to happen. Starr and Cole need to reunite with their baby, and Jessica needs to deal with the truth. There is nothing left to do in this story but to let everyone accept their new realities!
I wish that Gigi and Rex would learn the truth as well. This story has also gotten very old. I am so tired of Gigi deciding that she is going to tell the truth, just to have something change her mind at the last minute. I wish Gigi hadn't fallen for Stacy's lame plan in the first place, but that is ancient history now. I am glad that Gigi is taking a harder line with Stacy, though. She wouldn't let Stacy take charge when Shane went to the ER, and she wouldn't let Stacy get in the way of doing what she thought was best for Shane. She needs to take that newly found fire and use it to tell Rex the truth about what Stacy did. It seems like Rex is desperately waiting for the truth. It's obvious that he doesn't completely believe the reason why Gigi dumped him. He keeps reaching out to her, but she ends up pushing him away every time. He needs to use the skills that he allegedly has as a private investigator and do some actual investigating. It can't be that hard to figure out that Gigi and Brody aren't a couple! I also want Rex to revisit the day when Schuyler was waving a bag of blood in Rex's face. Yes, it was a weird thing for Schuyler to do, but since he isn't crazy, there must have been a reason for it! This story gets more ridiculous by the day, and I think both Gigi and Rex are smarter than this story is portraying. I wanted that dream sequence where Rex told Gigi he dreamed that she dumped him to be real. Yes, it's a copout, but I am willing to accept one for this story. Just end it already! Gigi and Rex found each other after 10 years and went through a lot to be together; it is horrible to watch them be ripped apart for such a stupid story. I hope Stacy's creepy acquaintance returns for his money and drags her back to Las Vegas. I know I won't be that lucky, though!
Finally, while I never liked Lola or really cared about her, shouldn't there be some time of follow up to for her confession to Ray? I know that we've been on the same night in Llanview for a long time, but it seems like they got lost in the shuffle. I hope that wasn't the last time we will see Ray. I know the show is cluttered and disorganized right now, but it seems like Lola and Ray need more to end their story than that the last scene in Dorian's room!
Until next time,

Expect to hear folk songs, popular songs and choral classics from such composers as Samuel Barber, Randall Thompson and Irving Berlin. There might even be some animal voices mixed in (the songs of whales, anyone?). And expect to laugh and to reflect.
Featured guests include island flautist Anna Maria de Freitas, harpist Mary WillAllen, the Friday Harbor Elementary School Chorus and That Berlin Bunch stage band.
The concerts' Business Partner is Kennedy McCulloch Forsyth CPAs. Tickets are $17 for adults and $19 student reserved, with $5 student RUSH on available seats at the door.

Policewomen, that is. The cops weren't there because the members of the Pink Hat Readers Club had gotten rowdy — it was because the girls wanted to learn something from the officers about the rough-and-tumble world of police work. This was part of a lesson in empowerment that Stiles had planned.
This week, while many will be giving thanks for the many blessings in their lives, Stiles will be thankful for the opportunity to continue what she sees as her life's vocation: teaching, counseling and helping. Homebound by multiple sclerosis, she has lost the ability to control much of her life, but that hasn't stopped her from teaching others how to be in control of their lives.
"What I want is for these girls to know is they can be anything that they want, and I want to give them the skills to learn the confidence that they need, the self-esteem that they need," she said.
Stiles has watched members of the group who call themselves the "Pink Hat Readers" evolve from little girls who sipped tea and read books to young women who are ready to face down life's challenges. From her motorized chair, within the confines of her house, she has led them to follow their motto of turning "compassion into action" – to raise funds, do charitable work and learn the skills of adult life.
"I'd been in the hospital for three weeks where they did not know what was wrong with me," she said, speaking about what was happening about this time of year, 15 years ago. "They thought it was my heart, but it was not … they suspected I had MS, but they were not positive; it could not be proven and I did not get that diagnosis for a few more months."
She came home from the hospital the day before Christmas facing not only a physical struggle, but an emotional conflict. "I had always felt that my purpose in life is to help other people. It was something very important to me, and I prayed very fervently."
Stiles had worked as a counselor for the Georgia Department of Labor, starting out by teaching life skills to people enrolled in the department's work incentive program, where she "taught them anything and everything that could help them get a job and to keep it. That was anything from birth control, to budgets, to child care and better parenting skills."
Her interest in helping people continued throughout her career with the Labor Department and later as she joined the Chamber of Commerce, where she became the first woman president. But when she received her diagnosis, she feared all that would come to an end.
And it might have, had not a neighbor's young daughter expressed an interest in starting a club similar to a book club to which Stiles belonged.
"She spent a lot of time with me here and she just happened to be here when I was going to be hostessing the (club). She loved to read, and so I said, 'what do you think about our having a little readers group and have our own book club?', and she said 'I want to do it.'"
They quickly decided to call the group the "Pink Hat Readers Club," after the "Pink Hats," a junior association of The Red Hat Society, a national social organization for women over 50. The Pink Hat Readers soon attracted a small but diverse group of girls from Carrollton High School.
From the start, however, the club became much more than a book club. Organized around a tea service, the girls learned as much about etiquette as the books they studied. That gave them a sense of poise needed in any setting, social or business, and Stiles provided deeper lessons as the girls got older. She gave them leadership roles in the club so they could experience the challenges of planning, organization and keeping up finances. Later still, Stiles began introducing guest speakers – usually women – to provide the now-young adults with role models.
One of the policewomen at that recent meeting confided a secret to the young girls: inside her combat-style boots, the policewoman was sporting a freshly painted set of pink toenails.
Stiles provides many of the guest talks herself. Along with lessons in self-empowerment, she also gives them valuable lessons in community service.
"We have a lot of need in this community right here, we don't have to go to foreign missions, we have it right here."
To meet those needs, the girls collect spare change and will soon donate months of collections to a local charity.
Stiles' illness has not stopped her drive and ambition to help people, and the young girls she is now mentoring are a reflection of a spirit of stewardship that she once described for her church as "an action of generosity (which) guides us to embrace our own humility and live less selfishly."
"It's my blessing," she says of her role in these young lives. "I would certainly count these girls as my top blessings."

Do Drones Have A Place in Our Defense?
The death toll of those killed by drones was leaked this week by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina). He revealed that about 4,700 people have been killed. Other sources say it must be much higher, judging by the context of his remarks, he wasn't counting the drone strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan. While using drones protects American soldiers, the growing number of casualties — which include civilians as well as suspected terrorists, raises the question if these un-manned weapons are honorable. Do these drones have a solid place in our defense? Yes or No? Please share your thoughts.

FRIDAY on UNIVERSAL 7 RADIO NETWORK
John Coats -author of Original Sinners: A New Interpretation on Genesis
on Scott Cluthe's Positively Incorrect!
2 PM EST- 1 PM CST- Noon MST – 11 AM PST
Live on WOON AM 1240 & Streamed at www.ONWorldWide.com
CLICK VIDEO BOX at Web Site to Listen on Line!
Scott Cluthe interviews John R. Coats, author of Original Sinners : A New Interpretation of Genesis . In this vivid new interpretation of Genesis, former Episcopal priest John R. Coats looks at the ancient text and its characters in a new light, as stories about people whose day-to-day concerns, triumphs, and failures are not unlike our own. In fact, understanding the people and stories of Genesis can help you understand your own life, family, and colleagues. In the relationships of Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, Rachel and Leah, and Joseph and his brothers, for instance, you can see an all too familiar escalation of the toxic sibling or even workplace rivalries that tear at the fabric of contemporary life. And in Abraham's ponderous response to the command to "Go forth," and Noah's unquestioning commitment to build the ark, you can revisit the question of your own life's path — your calling.
John R. Coats holds master's degrees from Virginia Theological Seminary (Episcopal) and Bennington College Writing Seminars. A former parish priest, he was a principal speaker and seminar leader for the More to Life training program in the United States, Great Britain, and South Africa, and an independent management consultant. The More To Life/Kairos Foundation is a non-profit educational charity which aims to help people connect their daily lives with their highest values and sponsors personal development training programs on four continents. Coats was involved with the program from 1981 to 1995; as a senior trainer, he lead over 300 weekend intensives, working with about 30,000 people, and today remains well connected with the program as well as with people he worked in such places as California, London, South Africa, Knoxville, Atlanta and Houston. He lives with his wife, Pamela, in Houston, Texas.

The Rolling Stones: 'We still haven't finalised O2 show setlist'
Ronnie Wood admits that the full running order is still up in the air ahead of Sunday's gig

Ronnie Wood has admitted that The Rolling Stones have still not decided the running order of their first London show this weekend.
The iconic band, who will play at London's O2 Arena on Sunday (November 25) have performed two warm-up shows in France but are yet to give hints as to just what they will perform live when they step out onto the stage for the first of two UK shows this weekend. Speaking to the Evening Standard at a gala in memory of Amy Winehouse in London this week, Wood said: "We've been thinking long and hard about the setlist but to be honest we still haven't finalised it. You forget how hard it is. But I couldn't miss this tonight — it's such an amazing cause."
He added: "It's intense but that's what we do — people have paid a lot of money for their tickets and we have to get it right."
Earlier this week it was confirmed that former band members Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor will join the Stones onstage for their forthcoming London shows. The pair will play with the band for the first time in over 20 years for the concerts at the O2 Arena on Sunday (November 25) and Thursday (29).
Bass player Wyman played with the Stones from 1962 until 1992 while guitarist Taylor played with the Stones from 1969 to 1974. Both were interviewed in the recent official 50th anniversary documentary Crossfire Hurricane, in which Taylor revealed that one of the reasons he left the band had been down to his heroin addiction.

Remembering Steve Jobs (Apple)
There are a few days in history when you will never forget where you were. For all of those people out there with an IPAD, IPHONE, or any other Apple product, today is one of those days. It is even more so for those who looked at and to Steve Jobs as not only a pioneer in the field of technology but in the field of capitalism. He took what he knew, with his partner Steve Wozniak, and in the basement of his parents home he started what would become one of the largest companies that this world has ever seen. read more »

Jail bosses in southern China weren't taking any chances with this ropy looking bunch of inmates when they transferred a whole prison population to a new building.
Guards ran out of chains to secure the 594 lags during the transfer, so they made do by lashing them together with rope instead.
Then the inmates - a mixture of murderers, crooks and petty thieves - were ferried to their new jail an hour's drive away in Fuxin, Sichuan province in a fleet of police coaches flanked by armed guards.
"With so many dangerous prisoners together at one time it was essential to prevent any escape attempts.
"I'm happy to report we didn't lose a single one," said a prison service spokesman.

OnLive sneaks Windows 7 into the iPad
We're not playing games now
Tablet fondlers can finally get some work done thanks to streaming cloud supplier OnLive, which now pipes the full Windows 7 experience from its data centres to punters' palms.
Right now the free app doesn't maintain any settings between sessions, but does provide a working Win 7 desktop, and copy of Microsoft Office, which can interact with files stored in an OnLive account. Alternatively it could be used to trick your mates into believing you've managed to blag a next-generation Windows tablet for the afternoon.
OnLive Desktop works in exactly the same way as OnLive's gaming service which Reg Hardware favourably reviewed earlier this week. The applications (be they games or word-processing packages) run on a remote server with the screen streamed to the user. Interactions with the user are sent back to the server to process, and while some reports said that early versions of the client were a little laggy OnLive's experience in getting twitch-reaction gaming to work should help it create a smooth desktop experience.
Decent connectivity is therefore essential - don't expect to be running Microsoft Word on an aeroplane, or even away from a decent Wi-Fi connection.
It's not the first time we've seen Windows streamed to a fondleslab: VNC and Citrix have been doing it for a while if one can be bothered to set up a computer to be shared, but OnLive is making it as simple as downloading the app and firing it up.
The virtual machines containing the Windows desktops are running on the same metal as the games, so anyone using OnLive for gaming shouldn't have any problems using OnLive Desktop, should they be desirous of vanilla Windows.
Without persistence the usefulness is limited as one can't install the legacy applications that make Windows such a necessity, but that should change once the company has got the service tightened up and tested. Until then it's still well worth a look if only for the novelty factor. ®
Free application offering Windows 7 and Office ?
To Microsoft lawyers: All hands man your battle stations!
i'm so happy that there's now an app that turns a $600 poser toy into a $300 keyboardless netbook whilst making it miscrosoft's gimp.
Not new
So the iPad can run a Terminal session.
The important bit isn't the iPad, but how reliable and flexible Onlive's Cloudy Remote Windows will be. How does it compare with "designed for cloud" things like Azure and Google Docs.
Badly I imagine in terms of bandwidth needed.
But is is usable?
My experience to date is that the ability to run Windows on a touch/tablet device is not a problem. The real issue was with the software - an interface designed for a mouse can be really difficult (impossible in some cases) to use with touch. Microsoft's tablet computer's always felt crippled for this reason - it wasn't the hardware, but the software. The only solution was to connect a stylus or mouse. How will streaming the same old software to a tablet make this situation any better?
Because this one actually comes with Windows
as a hosted service, instead of making you provide your own license, hardware and connectivity.
Read, comprehend, post.

Looking for some help:
Our internet dept handles transactions start to finish. Customers like this since it's one person they have to deal with and the people they are working with have the skill set to answer questions (unlike many BDC reps). The obvious downside is with deliveries, etc response time is a problem. Regardless of how many leads (we try to keep them under 75 leads per person) aggressive long term follow up can be problem b/c of a lack of time as well. I'm thinking about taking my ISMs and having them be trained/certified with our brands appointment setters. Response time will improve and there would be more time for follow up. Additionally, they will be forced to simply focus on selling the apt instead of sometimes trying to sell the car over the phone since they would be handing the customer off to a salesperson once they arrive at the store. Thoughts?
Anyone have a good BDC payplan they would share with me?
This is a great apporach. Adding more head count is counter-intuitive to adding growth/profits. The stats (per NADA) tell the tale - 1 in 4 calls are mishandled by dealerships and its takes an avg. of 9 attmepts to get through 70% of your database. It takes volume and skill to convert a majority of leads into traffic. Afterall, what good is a lead if you can't get the in the door!?
Tony Troussov said:
Chris sounds like you're moving toward BDC/Hybrid approach! With a good wordtrack your BDC people will be able to focus on selling the appointment vs. selling the car over the phone. I ran a large Toyota dealership and we have tried all three ways - BDC, Hybrid and Cradle to grave. From that experience I found out that Hybrid approach worked best for us. The cradle to grave simply did not allow enough time for the follow-up and ISMs got bogged down just like your people did. Having designated people handle the incoming calls works better - you might even find out that someone on your team already does a really good job with phone calls. We had a good success with creating teams where each team mate had his/her own responsibility and they split deal as well. Keep tweaking this and you will arrive at the model that works best for you. There is no cookie-cutter approach to this. Your team's strength/experience your pricing structure/selling philosophy will determine what is best for your store. I will email you ideas for BDC payplan.

FALLS VILLAGE — Falls Village-Canaan Historical Society is holding its annual Tuesdays at Six lectures on July 10 and 17 at the South Canaan Meeting House, at the junction of Routes 7 and 63 in Falls Village.
The first lecture was held July 3 with state historian Walter Woodard. The lectures are free. For more information call 860-824-8226.
July 10 — American to the Backbone: A Biography of James W.C. Pennington, pre-Civil War Abolition Leader
Lecturer: Christopher Webber; Moderator: Linda Weidenhamer
Christopher L. Webber, a graduate of Princeton University and the General Theological Seminary in New York (with two earned degrees and an honorary doctorate from the latter), is the author of a number of books ranging from a guidebook for Vestries to a study of Christian marriage. He has also written hymns included in several major hymnals in the United States and Canada. His most recent book, "American to the Backbone," is the incredible story of a forgotten hero of nineteenth century New York City, James Pennington—a former slave, Yale scholar, minister, and international leader of the Antebellum abolitionist movement.
July 17 — The Importance of Historic Preservation
Lecturer: Lou Bucceri, Teacher and Historian; Moderator - Jeremy Dakin
For 25 of 28 years, Lou Bucceri has taught history and coached various sports to middle school students at both Indian Mountain and Salisbury Central Schools. As curator of the Salisbury Cannon Museum between 1994 and 2007, he also played the role of Heman Allen most summer weekends, greeting visitors to the Holley-Williams House in Lakeville. His mother's own passion for history created Lou's lifelong interest at an early age.
He is a trustee of the Salisbury Association, serving in its Historical Society and on its Civic Activities Committee. His mother-in-law, Katherine Chilcoat, is Salisbury Town Historian. He lives in Amesville with his wife Susan. They have two daughters and a grandson.
