Don't buy this style of sachet
I have bought (lots) of the fabric sachets because I love this scent-The only problem I had with those-Is I had it in a T-shirt drawer & it stained a white T-shirt-But the scent last long & no other issues. This time-A woman standing next to me said she uses the "paper" one in the car-I thought its more streamlined-Sure. However-Barely any scent & it touched my console in my car & now I have a 2" bare spot where it totally stripped the paint off of my console & onto the sachet-Not good!

A Feast for the Season
I ordered one for the holiday season and was so crazy about the aroma that I have one up year round. It's an exciting scent that beckons you to come closer. I'm ordering more right now!
Coworkers love it
I hung the sachet just inside my office door. It smells wonderful! Everyone wants to know what they are smelling. One woman thought a man wearing a yummy cologne had been here! You can even smell it in the hallway with my door closed. The Gingerbread line is not your typical baking scent. It is much more complex, with layers of scent. I love all the Gingerbread products and wish they were available year round in the local shops.

Car Fragrance
I hung this sachet in our SUV one early autumn morning. Hubby was driving and immediately he said he loved this fragrance. It didn't make him hungry for gingerbread cookies, but the fragrance reminded him of fall days, campfires and warm fuzzy memories. I love the spicy scent and enjoy it now in this season than summer. I only tore the cellophane bag just a little so it wasn't overwhelming, but there was enough fragrance to feel embraced by gingerbread. Such a warm cozy feeling. I think I may bake my gingerbread people pretty soon.

The Perfect Fall "Gift Tag!"
So wonderfully happy to have discovered how great this sachet is to use as a Gift Tag. What a wonderful idea; and, my gifts always stand out because adding that little bit of scent/fragrance results in comments. Recently, I used the Gingerbread Sachet on a kitchen-bridal shower gift. Everyone commented on how this puts them in the mood for the Fall. I would say to anyone: use any of the Thymes Sachets for your next gift-giving endeavor.

Kyle Shanahan became a real head coach last Sunday.
And if he becomes a successful head coach one day, we will look back at Sunday's game against the Giants as his breakout performance. The day he showed he could coach an entire team, not just the offense.
Before Sunday's game, Shanahan was a mere offensive coordinator. Hadn't made the transition to his new job yet. He was laser focused on installing his complex scheme, his pride and joy, the thing the 49ers hired him for. He wasn't focused on instilling discipline or coaching fundamentals or creating a winning culture.
By neglecting those crucial things, Shanahan established a culture that tolerated mistakes. Not once did he punish a player who committed a penalty or dropped a pass or turned the ball over during training camp. He simply moved on to the next play like the mistake didn't happen. Or, he started the play over again. Called a "do-over," something you don't get in real games.
He was more concerned with teaching his state-of-the-art offense than enforcing a standard of performance. He wasn't a leader.
And his lack of leadership carried over to the regular season. The 49ers beat themselves every week with the same self-inflicted errors — penalties, drops, sacks, turnovers — and Shanahan couldn't eliminate the mistakes. Couldn't get his players to play a clean, focused game.
That's why Shanahan lost his first nine games as a head coach. He was a passenger on his own team. He wasn't driving the car. No one was driving.
But something changed in game No. 10.
Not only did the 49ers win — they blew out the Giants. Outscored them 31-13 until late in the fourth quarter when the Giants scored a touchdown and a two-point conversion during garbage time.
Sure, the Giants are a bad team. Maybe the worst team the 49ers have faced all season. The Giants were missing key players who are injured, and their healthy players didn't seem to want to tackle or cover or play in general. They reportedly have quit on their head coach, Ben McAdoo. It sure looked like they quit on Sunday.
The Giants' total apathy partially explains why the 49ers played so well. C.J. Beathard was the third-highest-rated quarterback in the NFL last week. The offense gained a season-high 474 yards. And the defense allowed the Giants to convert only five of 14 third downs. We can't expect the 49ers to produce those numbers every week.
But as well as they played against the Giants, the 49ers would not have won that game had they committed the same silly mistakes they made earlier in the season, if they had beaten themselves.
The Giants didn't give the game away. They turned the ball over just once. They forced the 49ers to play a clean, smart, professional performance.
And the 49ers did just that. They earned the win. And Shanahan gets the credit. For the first time this season, he was in the driver's seat.
The past few weeks, you couldn't tell if he cared whether the car crashed and burned. Couldn't tell if he was coaching to win or lose. He seemed to be going through the motions, motioned that made no sense. He was calling far more passes than runs, even though his offensive line struggles in pass protection and his quarterback, C.J. Beathard, was taking a beating.

Tribune Publishing books a tiny profit for first quarter despite revenue decline
Tribune Publishing completed its second full quarter as a separate company with results much like the rest of the industry, eking out a small profit but still facing revenue declines.
Net earnings were $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 on revenues of $396 million. That's a profit margin of 0.6 percent. In the same period in 2014, the business earned $12 million.
Revenues fell 4.9 percent total, 5.7 percent in advertising year to year. CEO Jack Griffin pointed out in a conference call with analysts that the rate of decline was an improvement on the last quarter of 2014 when it was 10 percent..
The results are not strictly comparable because Tribune Publishing was still operating as a division of Tribune Co. in the first quarter of 2015 and has added a few properties since.
Griffin also said that he expected financial performance to improve in the second half of 2015, when the benefits of a year-long reorganization process kick in.
Generally, Griffin's commentary emphasized the same issues and initiatives he discussed in earlier calls. Tribune has installed new national sales executives, begun to develop native advertising and digital marketing services and clamped down on costs.
His first question from an analyst was about the company's tepid results on digital subscriptions -- just 67,000 digital-only subscribers and another 600,000 taking advantage of print + digital deals.
"We're in a period of a lot of testing," he said. "We are very early days in this part of the business."
On the advertising front, Griffin described the company as "historically highly reliant on digital classifieds" with ownership shares in CareerBuilder and other services. Those assets stayed with Tribune Media as the company spun off, so it no longer gets a share of their earnings or an owner's preferred rate.
That's one reason for the emphasis on national advertising -- potentially significant for a company that owns both the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times. Already a couple of large national accounts have resumed advertising in the Times, Griffin said.
Griffin also disclosed that he has hired a consulting firm to work on squeezing out costs. A particular emphasis is centralizing and mandating bidding for business services which individual properties previously had handled on their own.
"We have about $1 billion a year in outside spend...," he said, "and we should be able to take out a few points a year out of that."
Tribune Publishing has acquired some smaller papers near its Chicago, Baltimore and Hartford properties, and Griffin said the company is on the lookout for more such opportunities.
Shares of Tribune Publishing were trading down about 2.5 percent at the end of the day.

Flexibility is so important for effective learning and development. Over the past ten years, we've seen a shift towards flexible ways of helping people in organisations become more effective. This shift has been supported by rapid advances in technology: virtual workshops, apps to support development and exploratory e-learning formats are all now the norm in many businesses.
Coaching is no exception. It's still a major activity in learning and development (the 2015 Henley corporate learning survey1 found that 85% of organisations will use coaching in the coming year) but coaching is changing. No longer is a fixed term activity or a formal event; its days of being exclusively reserved for senior executives are numbered. Instead, as the right technology has become cheaper and more widely available, coaching has become one of the most accessible, flexible and dynamic ways to help a wide range of individuals increase their effectiveness at work.
New methods, same strong relationships
The very nature of coaching makes it flexible and dynamic as a development tool. Although there are different approaches and methodologies, the coaching relationship is at the heart of things. We know that the single most important factor in successful outcomes from executive coaching is the quality of the relationship between coach and client (De Haan et al, 2013)2 . The ideal situation is to preserve this effective, high-quality relationship, while updating the coaching format to suit the changing nature of development in the workplace.
Creating a more flexible approach needn't compromise the quality of the coaching – far from it. Recent research (Jones et al, 2013) found that neither length of coaching assignment nor the delivery method (face-to-face or blended) had a direct impact on the effectiveness of coaching outcomes.
Smoothly integrated, more accessible
Managers report that they get the vast majority of learning and development done during their working day3. As such, integrating coaching into that time is key: whether via short, focused face-to-face conversations, or by making use of remote technology, such as Skype and VC apps. This aligns coaching with the environment in which most people tend to learn. Importantly, it also makes coaching more accessible to a wider range of people.
During a recent leadership development programme, we provided flexible telephone and video coaching to over 450 leaders across the UK. By virtue of the technologies we used, the programme provided frequent and focused contact with leaders, effectively and cost-efficiently.
Where to start?
For even more flexible workplace learning, we've developed iLEAD + Coaching. This one-to-one coaching programme combines state-of-the-art online development tools with real-time coaching from qualified coaching psychologists. It offers focused personal development for hardworking, capable individuals who may not be identified as priorities in the talent pipeline, but have a huge amount to offer their organisation.
The iLEAD + Coaching programme is based on three phases of activity:
iLEAD + Coaching makes coaching more accessible to everyone. It doesn't need to be a special activity reserved for senior leaders or top talent. It can make development during the working day accessible to everyone.

Candidate Process
- The potential candidate will fill out a "Preliminary Application." The Executive Administration will review the application and set up a phone/video conference call with the applicant and their pastor.
- If favorable, the Administration will invite the potential missionary and their pastor for a two-day visit to the Service Center to meet Administration and staff. The purpose for the visit is to explain the various ways that BCP can help each missionary and their sending church to fulfill the Great Commission. If the church cannot afford the expenses, BCP will raise the needed funds for the trip.
- If the visit is favorable, the candidate will be asked by the Administration to fill out a full "Candidate Application." At this point, Bob Bennett (Candidate Coordinator) and Tom Farlow (Director) will work with the candidate to get a completed application and needed references sent to the Applications Committee.
- All information will go to the Applications Committee for review. The Applications Committee will mainly focus on Testimony, Call to Ministry, Doctrine and References to determine if the candidate is prepared for missionary service. The Applications Committee should request that the missionaries' pastor is welcome to participate in this interview.
- The Applications Committee will submit, in writing, a recommendation to the Administration. If favorable, the Administration will invite the candidate to appear before the full Council to be interviewed. The Council will hear recommendations from the Administration and Applications Committee. After the Council interviews the candidate, the Council will vote to approve or disapprove the candidate.
- If the Council's decision is favorable, the Council will deem the candidate a Missionary Appointee with BCP. The Administration will provide Candidate School training (we may change the name of this) for the new appointee. The Director of Missionary Enrichment, Candidate Coordinator and Administration will determine the scope of Candidate School.
- The Administration and staff will assist the appointee in building an adequate deputation presentation. The goal will be to have at least one "plug and play" presentation and an additional power point presentation to use on deputation. This will be a requirement for appointees on deputation.
- Final approval will be granted upon completion of all Constitutional requirements: Candidate School, adequate level of support, and commissioning by

Citrix Systems announced plans to aid in recovery efforts in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the United States. The company will give $250,000 to benefit the Uniformed Firefighters Association Widow's and Children's Fund and the New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. In addition, the company has already provided the New York Chapter of the American Red Cross with end-user software licenses for Citrix MetaFrame and committed to providing additional licenses as needed during the next 12 months. The company also sent Citrix system engineers and server hardware to New York.
Earlier last week, company employees provided financial contributions and blood donations through the Aid to America Campaign. To support and encourage these efforts, John Cunningham, senior vice president of operations and chief financial officer (CFO), enhanced the company's charitable contribution matching grants, doubling the amount the company will match for employee contributions made to this cause. Jo Moskowitz, manager of community relations for Citrix, anticipates that Citrix employees in the United States will use the matching grant program to donate about $250,000 to the Aid to America Campaign.

Ottumwa Schools invites the entire community to celebrate what it means to be a Bulldog during "Paws-itively Ottumwa: Where Bulldogs Belong Week," January 20-24. The week has been endorsed by the City of Ottumwa through a mayoral proclamation. Throughout the week, the district will host events and activities that promote a sense of belonging for each and every student, staff member and the community. "The week is about each and every student belonging," said Superintendent Davis Eidahl.
All schools will show their school pride by hosting a variety of theme days throughout the week. Elementary themes include 'Merica Monday, Dress for Success Tuesday, WOW-White Out Wednesday, Hats Off to Ottumwa Schools Thursday, and Bulldog Day-Wear Red & White Friday. Secondary student themes include 'Merica Monday, Team Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday, Throw Back Thursday, and Red & White Friday.
The week will kick off with the Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration on Monday, January 20 at 7 p.m. at Indian Hills Community College. The event, a collaboration between the college and school district, highlights King's goal to encourage Americans to come together to strengthen communities, alleviate poverty, and acknowledge dignity and respect for all human beings.
On Tuesday, Kevin Wanzer will present a program during two assemblies at Ottumwa High School. Wanzer, an author and honors graduate from Butler University, has been speaking to high school audiences since he was in high school. His motivational message uses humor to educate students about prevalent teen issues, including staying drug-free and eliminating bullying behaviors.
Evans Middle School will host a Pep Rally after school prior to the girls basketball game. The middle school chorus will sing the National Anthem.
The district's Community Advisory will hold their quarterly meeting Tuesday night in the OHS library. The meeting will begin with the mayor's proclamation and highlight a new Evans Middle School program. The advisory, representing approximately 50 community members, developed the district's Essential Learnings and Six Strategies to Increase Student Achievement, including creating a sense of belonging.
Wednesday will feature elementary writing throughout the community. Students will complete the sentence, "Best Thing About Being a Bulldog."
On Thursday, the OHS speech students will host a Large Group Speech Open House in the high school auditorium at 6 p.m. OHS bowlers will host Mt. Pleasant and Des Moines North and OHS wrestlers will compete against Des Moines East at home.
On Friday, OHS will host a winter pep rally at 2:30 p.m. at OHS. Every elementary student will receive a free paw tattoo. The tattoo will allow them free admission to Friday night's basketball games at Evans Middle School when accompanied by an adult. During half time, OHS senior basketball players and cheerleaders will recognize Ottumwa teachers who made a significant impact on their life.
Preschool students are also getting involved. Friday has been proclaimed Bulldogs in Training Day. Students will make puppy headbands, wear paw tattoos, and watch a movie, "The Truth About Puppies and Kittens," about acceptance and diversity.
Other activities that promote a sense of belonging include the debut of a new video on the district's website (select the About Us tab, then superintendent welcome). The video, which highlights students from across the district, showcases opportunities to learn, lead and belong. The district will also kick-off a staff needs assessment, using a tool through the Iowa Association of School Boards.
"There will be activities at every school throughout the week," said Eidahl. "This is a tremendous opportunity to involve the entire community, to highlight what we do 180 days a year."

Happy New Year !
Happy Chinese New Year !
Thank you for your help and support in this year! Wish you a happy new year!
We will start new year holiday from Feb.15 2018 to Feb.21 2018 during this period of time company will be closed.
Year 2018 in China
Looking back to summarize 2017 we've seen many new developments the will influence 2018. Here is our summary about some of the more important changes for those of you doing business in or with China.
Political Stability
It is generally perceived that Xi Jin Ping got an overwhelming mandate to carry out his program and the personality cult built around him is compared to what Mao Zedong had. For foreign business it is one hand positive that there is a clear direction and that corruption has been severely curtailed. One the other hand it is quite clear that Xi's policy is a China first policy and many of the initiatives and new rules coming out are still unclear and open for interpretation, giving uncertainty in compliance. Overall the trend is heading to a much stricter regulatory environment and especially for foreign companies. As always in China the recommendation is not to try to interpret the written law as there are big time lags and often adjustments from announcement to implementation, always engage with your local government officials to see what policies are under implementation.
Xi has been ruthless in punishing with corruption allegations anyone who do not align to his leadership. With over 1.1 million punished officials one might wonder when this group become so big that it can become a political force.

When the play opens, Mama (played with radiant intensity by Cynthia Nixon) has already begun to realize something's wrong with her son. Because his overworked teacher (Aleta Mitchell) has expressed concerns, Mama and Dad (an overwrought Josh Stamberg) have had Jesse observed by a psychologist (Natalie Gold), who believes he's suffering from an anxiety disorder. Still, she recommends that he be tested by a neuropsychologist, who diagnoses ADHD and suggests medical treatment. Dad, who has his own concentration issues, balks at putting his son on Ritalin, yet Mama persists. When Jesse turns into a zombie on the drug, Dad threatens divorce, which leads the family to New Mexico in search of alternative treatments. Eventually they reach a solution of their own, and Loomer ends the play on an ambiguous but hopeful note.
Much of Distracted is beautifully and intelligently conceived. Jesse's rants and demands shouted from offstage powerfully convey the strain his disease puts on the family. Mama's and Dad's behavior—she juggles a cell phone and Blackberry while driving—underscores that while ADHD has genetic roots, some of Jesse's behavior may be learned. This impression is cleverly reinforced by the problems that eating disorder–prone neighbor Sherry (Mimi Lieber) has with her children, particularly teen daughter Natalie (played with graceful sensitivity by Shana Dowdeswell), who's found a different way of exercising control over her body.
Yet there are also excesses in Distracted, primarily an all-too-cute pattern of breaking the fourth wall. Early on, one performer switches characters. In the second act, Peter Benson, who ably and amusingly plays a variety of specialists, breaks character to "reveal" his own problems with ADHD. Intriguingly, asides expressing unspoken thoughts represent a sort of self-control in a world that often seems to be skidding toward chaos.
Brokaw's staging unfolds with a whiz-bang efficiency, aided by the furniture units that roll on and off Mark Wendland's unit set, an abstraction of the family home, and by Tal Yarden's often hilarious video and projection design. And the careful direction almost never allows the performances to balloon into cartoons (Lisa Emery's portrayal of an uptight neighbor is a prime example).
Still, despite the emotionally charged subject matter and well-crafted performances, Distracted never fully engages the heart. Laughter abounds, and there is food for thought, but the overall experience is a bit like quickly scrolling through thousands of blog posts, tweets, and Facebook status updates: diverting, entertaining, but insubstantial.

- Keep earrings, rings, necklaces and anklets away from dust to prevent damage to the stones.
- Use soft pouches or boxes instead of velvet box to store the jewellery pieces.
- Jewellery pieces can be delicate, therefore, these must be the last thing women must put on prior to leaving the house in the morning, and the first thing to remove and store in place upon arriving home in the evening.
- Do not spray perfume or hairspray as well as apply lotion after wearing Kundan or any other imitation jewellery, as it can damage the finish of the piece.
- Occasionally wipe the jewellery pieces using a clean cotton cloth. Do not use water and soap to clean it.
- Remove jewellery pieces during bath/shower.
- Never soak gemstones, they will lose their vibrancy.
- Occasionally check the jewellery pieces for loose stones
By following the above mentioned instructions, women can have many happy with their new jewellery additions.

What Are You Working On?
Next blog January 21, 2010
Are you working on something?
Silly question for a writer, Right? We always seem to be working on something, whether it is a novel, sequel to our novel, a new novel, short story, article, blog, and interview or just adding something to a network site. But what I'm referring to is something you are giving full concentration to and working at for completion.
I'm presently doing a bit of all of the above and feel like I'm floating around in the ether because I'm not really working on anything as though I have any kind of deadline, or that I feel I have some major new chapter that absolutely has to go in there. I'm basically piddling. Not good.
I have a sequel in the works for Downsized To Death with another travel agent as the main character and my protagonist from DTD as the secondary character. Well, Bea goes through a bad experience and all I've been able to write about her is the crying jags she's having owing to the bad choices she's made. Both Pru (DTD's protagonist) and I are getting a bit disgusted even though we are very sympathetic. So, put her aside for awhile so she can gather her strength and fix her problem and solve the crime with Pru and her secondary 'hoot of a coot' Watson helping out.
Then I have a novella in the works about Vampires on Mars, and where I am in the story has my protagonist crying with terror at being chased across the dust. DOESN'T SHE KNOW SHE CAN DROWN IN HER HELMET IF SHE KEEPS THAT UP? Well, so much for that until I can get her backbone working.
Next is a ghost story set in the 60s (ala Mad Men) but also a time I worked at an airline in their reservations department, and all that is happening is these ghosts nagging her to find their killer which just brings her to tears.
Notice a pattern developing?
And finally, a Jane Austen-secondary-character story that will be a mystery. One of the Bennet sisters is still at home and it seems Mr. Bennet is running off suitors and just about brings her to …….. Well, you've got the drift by now.
What's a writer to do when she can't get out of a rut?
Put it aside and see what happens? How long can you keep doing that? It's several months now for me.
So, do you have situations like this? If so, HELP!!!!!!! Any suggestions?

Just pick on and add words to it. Doesn't matter if they're good words, just add them. Sooner or later you'll write yourself out of the rut. Something will happen that isn't the heroine in tears. If you're a plotter, or if you have idea whatsoever what will happen a little later in story, go there and write that instead. But write something. Keep working on something. It's the only way you'll get anything finished, ever. You can always go back and fix the words if they're not the right words, but you can't fix what isn't there.
And for the record, yes, I know just what it is to have too many irons in the fire. At last count I had at least half a dozen books I've started but never finished sitting among my documents, and another half dozen or so I have ideas for but that I haven't started yet. And again I say: the only way to finish something is to pick one and then keep adding words to it until it's done.
- Ramona said...
Pat, I recently took an online course and the first assignment was to list all of your story ideas. ALL. I would still be writing.
I like Jennie's comment about the way to finish is to keep adding words until it's done.
Today, sadly, I am working on taxes. No fiction allowed.
Pat -
I second (third?) Jennie. Just write something.
A screenwriting class I took last year had an assignment that required writing 25 pages in one fell swoop. Just sit down and start writing and keep going and going and going. Sounds hard, but I found it got me over a hump in the screenplay I was working on, such that I was able to finish the first draft (and earn an A in the class). Now I'm collaborating on a rewrite of that screenplay with two other people.
I'm also rewriting a few older pieces and, last night, sat down and spontaneously wrote a new poem.
The key thing is to write and, if the characters get bogged down in tears, just make them do stuff until they figure out on their own how to get past it. Surprising, but it works.
- Patg said...
All advice gladly taken. It's that first hump we all have to get over.
Heavy sigh.
- Kate Gallison said...
Vampires are over, ghosts are dreary. Get busy on the sequel to Downsized. When I used to have the hiccups, my father would sometimes jump at me and cry, "Your shirt's on fire." I quit hicupping. Set your protagonist's shirt on fire, metaphorically speaking, and give her something to think about besides her woes and falilings.
- Susan Gourley/Kelley said...
I'm with everyone else. Power through it by just writing. Finish it and then you can go back during edits and strength, delete, revise... whatever needs done to make it shine.
- Rochelle Staab said...
I echo the crowd - just write (memo to self: take own advice) and keep writing. I don't know about you, but when I sit and think about writing, the task ahead feels daunting. But when I'm on the page, canoodling with words or letting a scene flow, I'm in heaven.
I love Kate's advice - "set your shirt on fire." It sounds like you need a change of emotional scenery? Laughs? Danger? A tear break?
I'm so grateful you shared from your rut. I'm stuck in a scene right now and hesitant to go back. Talking about your rut is nudging me out of mine - thank you! Now go out there and write!!

GoPro accessoires (skeleton case, grips, chest mounts)
Lately I've been buying a lot of accessoires for the GoPro that my wife has bought me on my birthday… I think she got the point when every time we pass by a shopping mal that I stop and stare at the GoPro section for a long time. (That did the trick i guess) #sneakybastard
The instagram pictures as shown here above, is about the small flightcase I bought at Aliexpress.com. I know you wont get the same thing as the original parts of GoPro but they are quite good in quality and prize.
So I've been uploading some videos on YouTube lately and learning how to edit them with Windows Movie Maker. (yes you read it right) It might be better if I did it in another Video Editor but they are so hard to learn.
I mostly use the GoPro with a chest mount when I go cycling with our 'Pinoy Piliton' crew.
With my friends from Belgium we've started a Belgian GoPro group on Facebook, so we could discuss about filming techniques, accessoires, video editing and more.
You should check out my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/mcphilty) and let me know what you think about it. Offcourse you can subscribe and like the videos.

BANGALORE (Reuters) - India's second largest IT services provider Infosys Ltd said on Friday it would boost investment in cloud computing, smartphone apps and other new technologies to win more high-margin outsourcing contracts.
The move towards these more lucrative deals heralds a change in focus by Infosys, once a trendsetter in India's $100 billion IT outsourcing industry but which has struggled in recent years to retain staff and market share.
Analysts say new technology is the next big requirement for global corporations. Infosys currently derives the bulk of its revenue from low-margin and highly competitive businesses like application development and maintenance and IT infrastructure management services.
"Change is inevitable," Outgoing Chief Executive Officer and co-founder S.D. Shibulal told reporters after Infosys posted a higher-than-expected quarterly net profit growth of 21.6 percent.
Newly appointed CEO Vishal Sikka, a former senior executive at German software company SAP AG who combines both business and tech savvy, is expected to drive the strategy change in Infosys.
Sikka will also have to stem a staff exodus, which hit record-high levels in the quarter to June 30 as well as revive Infosys' innovative edge that, some investors, said was blunted by the outgoing, conservative management.
In a sign of the times, Infosys said it won a deal in the June quarter from a leading insurance company to develop a smartphone app that allows parents to set up a driving pact with their teenagers.
Infosys, which lost its position as India's most widely held stock to mortgage lender Housing Development Finance this year, was up 1 percent at 0308 ET at 3,325 rupees, while the Mumbai market index was down 0.9 percent.
Shibulal, the last of Infosys' seven founders to hold the role of CEO and who is leaving at the end of this month, said the company had already taken several measures to retain staff, including quarterly promotions.
"Attrition is a matter of concern to us, it is definitely higher than our comfort range," he told reporters.
Chief Financial Officer Rajiv Bansal said he expected staff exits to moderate to around 15 percent in the next few quarters, after the annualized staff attrition rate touched a record 19.5 percent in the June quarter.
Infosys, which had cash and cash equivalents worth nearly $4.2 billion at end-June, maintained its revenue growth forecast for the year to March 2015 at 7-9 percent, as analysts expected, with the company expecting to win some large deals this year.
Consolidated net profit for the quarter ended June 30 rose to 28.86 billion rupees ($480.20 million) from 23.74 billion rupees in the same year-ago period, and exceeding the 26.72 billion rupee average of analyst estimates, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Revenue in the quarter rose 13.3 percent to 127.70 billion rupees, as Infosys added 61 new clients taking the tally to 910 at the end of June. Its customers include BT Group Plc, Bank of America and Volkswagen AG.

Alyssa Parker comes running across the field with joy in every stride. When she gets to the sideline, the Glenelg senior catches her breath and before anyone can say anything, she asks, "Do you know that bees are born full grown?"
She loves trivia like that — and the laughs she draws from imparting such nuggets.
Parker, one of the most talented players to ever play field hockey in Maryland, isn't shy off the field. And one would think she wouldn't be shy on the field either, given that she's about to become only the second player in National Federation history to score 100 goals and 100 assists in a high school career.
But her coach, Ginger Kincaid, says Parker is anything but the typical high school sports star.
"I think she is unimpressed with herself," Kincaid said. "She doesn't like to be out in front. She likes to have everyone around her, and she likes to give her teammates opportunities. She had 38 assists last year, so you know she passes the ball."
In fact, Parker has 96 assists for her career to go along with 105 goals, putting her in rare company as the No. 1 Gladiators (13-0) finish their regular season Thursday against Towson before beginning the postseason next week. Only Chantae Miller, of Buffalo, N.Y., broke the century mark in both categories, totaling 126 goals and 117 assists from 2004 to 2007.
Among Parker's many highlights, Kincaid remembers a time when Parker was out in front of the opposing team's goal and stopped to look around. Seeing her teammate Meghan Milani, who hadn't scored, Parker passed her the ball.
"Megan passed it back and Alyssa passed it to her again," Kincaid said. "It was almost in slow motion. 'You shoot. No, you shoot.' I've seen her do that, and I've been on her to just touch it in. Circle and take the shot at the top. She'd prefer to pass it.
"She could put 10 balls in the goal herself, but for her it wouldn't be any fun."
While helping teammates is clearly enjoyable to Parker, she isn't only like that on the field. Ask her what her biggest accomplishment is and she hardly takes time to think.
"I taught my next door neighbor Maddy Kerwin, who is a big girl now at age 5, how to swim," Parker said. "That's my biggest accomplishment. I like babies, little kids and old people — and field hockey. I babysit little kids in my neighborhood, work part time at Mater Amoris and my friend [and teammate] Mary Kate Olson and I coach a third and fourth-grade team together."
Parker is excited about her future, which will include playing at the University of Maryland, playing with the Bethesda Chevy Chase club team and being part of the Junior Olympic program, which provides the possibility of a Canadian Tour in April and other international events.
But she barely mentions the 100-100 milestone. Her goal for the season is to lead the Gladiators to a second consecutive Class 2A state championship.
"I've never played for a stat," she said. "If it happens, cool."
For those keeping track, Parker scored three times Monday in the Gladiators' 7-0 victory over Mount Hebron to pass the 100-goal mark, and she added two more Tuesday in a 6-0 win against Howard.
That production isn't unusual for Glenelg — which has outscored opponents 115-4 this season — or, obviously, for Parker, who started the season with career totals of 77 goals and 72 assists.
"Alyssa Parker has raised the bar for her team and the entire state," former University of Maryland player and current Holy Cross coach Jenna Ries said after her team lost, 6-0, to Glenelg this season. "I'm proud to be from Maryland and have someone like that playing field hockey like she is. She's changing her whole team, and that makes everyone who plays against them or sees her play want to play like she does."
For Parker, field hockey wasn't love at first try. When she was 6 it was too slow of a game for her. The ball didn't really go anywhere when she hit it, as opposed to soccer, which was much better suited to her lively nature.
"As I got older, I tried field hockey again and the ball went faster," said Parker, who also plays lacrosse. "Now, I love the speed of it and the challenge of finesse. Coach Kincaid says I don't have any finesse — but I'm working on it."
What Kincaid said is that Parker "is like a bull" on the field, "a much better dodger, carrying the ball downfield, running around, through or over defenders. There's no finesse."
But what Parker has, Kincaid said, is unteachable.
"She's a natural," the coach said. "She's Alyssa. She has some athletic cunning that can't be copied. She makes things happen. She turns something into nothing. It's nothing I can coach. And it's nothing she practices. It's just the things she does."
Parker said she is always innovating, trying new things.
"I just try to have fun and give my all," she said. "It sounds corny. My mom played field hockey at Mount Hebron, and she gives pointers. The biggest thing she says is never stop trying new things. Don't be afraid to mess up. I mess up a lot, but without that I wouldn't keep getting better. It takes time."
Ries said one of the things Parker does best is read her opponents.
"She has a real knack for understanding her opponents," Ries said. "She sizes you up. She's not just beating you. She comprehends you. She knows when you're going to take a shot. It's not an ordinary thing for a player at this level."
It's not ordinary, and it's not something other players can easily emulate. Katie Corcoran, who coaches No. 3 South River, has tried to tell her players not to watch Parker, but that's something admirers of field hockey find hard to do.
"She's phenomenal," said Corcoran, who saw Glenelg win the South River Invitational Tournament this season. "You're intrigued by her and you want to follow her all the time with your eyes. We tell our players not to watch her. But she's fun to watch. The moves she makes on the field. Her intensity. Her skill. Everyone wants to watch her play."

Thanks Whitney! I sometimes feel like I was born in the wrong era, but then I think of all of the hardships I would have had to cope with back then. Fashion/style would have been the least of my concerns!Delete
Gorgeous outfit! I love all things vintage fashion, vintage-inspired fashion, and pink. You look so ladylike and chic! That terminal truly is the perfect backdrop. I get so self-conscious about public photo shoots. I'm glad this one pushed you out of your comfort zone in a good way.

Thank you very much Liz! I am quite vintage obsessed, I love the style eras of the past. I used to be extremely uncomfortable to take pictures anywhere in public, but bit by bit I am learning to overcome that fear. I kinda have to block people out, almost as if they do not exist :)Delete

Capital gains tax (CGT) is payable when you sell or give away an asset that has increased in value.
The gain or profit is taxed at 18% / 28% after claiming the equivalent of the personal allowance which stands at £11,900 per person on gains made each tax year.
More tax breaks may be available to reduce the gain and in particular "entrepreneur's relief" is a deducti on the disposal of a business, which reduces the tax rate right down to 10% on the first £10 million of such gains during the person's lifetime. It also applies to certain share sales and certain assets 'connected with' a qualifying company.
There are exemptions from CGT such as on the sale of your main residence although the sale of a second home such as a 'buy to let' may well give rise to a liability.
CGT is payable on 31 January after the tax year in which the gain is made.
The CGT regime is so complex that we recommend you talk to a professional adviser.
Arrange a free initial consultation with an Accountant where you can discuss how you want us to listen and help in more detail, please call Alan or Gillian on 01302 311777. Alternatively you can email [email protected] or [email protected]

Capetonians Thamar and Richard Houliston will begin their exciting 8000-kilometre Beijing to Bombay cycle expedition in February. They plan to cycle from the Great Wall of China (just North of Beijing), through China and Tibet, across the Friendship Highway to the base of Mount Everest and into Nepal and then through Northern India.
In a post on planning this expedition Thamar writes, "The hardest part of living your dreams is taking the first step. Richard and I knew we wanted to do something epic but couldn't decide where to start as there are so many places we want to experience. The seed was planted but the journey undefined. What we did know is that we wanted to do something extraordinary in a way that we could encounter a place head on and on by our own means. Finally we took the first few steps gave our trip roots by deciding on a region of the globe and that we'd like to cycle. And so slowly the expedition started to take shape and grow in our hearts."
This expedition should see them on their bikes into mid-July 2012.
Their website is www.beyondthewall.co.za and they'll also be on Twitter.


text: KIRKUS REVIEW King's newest is a gargantuan summer sausage, at 1144 pages his largest yet, and is made of the same spiceless grindings as ever: banal characters spewing sawdust dialogue as they blunder about his dark butcher shop. The horror this time out is from beyond the universe, a kind of impossible-to-define malevolence that has holed up in the sewers under the New England town of Derry. The It sustains itself by feeding on fear-charged human meat--mainly children. To achieve the maximum saturation of adrenalin in its victims, It presents itself sometimes as an adorable, balloon-bearing clown which then turns into the most horrible personal vision that the victims can fear. The novel's most lovingly drawn settings are the endless, lightless, muck-filled sewage tunnels into which it draws its victims. Can an entire city--like Derry--be haunted? King asks. Say, by some supergigantic, extragalactic, pregnant spider that now lives in the sewers under the waterworks and sends its evil mind up through the bathtub drain, or any drain, for its victims? In 1741, everyone in Derry township just disappeared--no bones, no bodies--and every 27 years since then something catastrophic has happened in Derry. In 1930, 170 children disappeared. The Horror behind the horrors, though, was first discovered some 27 years ago (in 1958, when Derry was in the grip of a murder spree) by a band of seven fear-ridden children known as the Losers, who entered the drains in search of It. And It they found, behind a tiny door like the one into Alice's garden. But what they found was so horrible that they soon began forgetting it. Now, in 1985, these children are a horror novelist, an accountant, a disc jockey, an architect, a dress designer, the owner of a Manhattan limousine service, and the unofficial Derry town historian. During their reunion, the Losers again face the cyclical rebirth of the town's haunting, which again launches them into the drains. This time they meet It's many projections (as an enormous, tentacled, throbbing eyeball, as a kind of pterodactyl, etc.) before going through the small door one last time to meet. . .Mama Spider! The King of the Pulps smiles and shuffles as he punches out his vulgarian allegory, but he too often sounds bored, as if whipping himself on with his favorite Kirin beer for zip.

For over a century now, a day has been set aside to compliment Mother's Day and celebrate fathers. The first Father's Day was marked on June 19 1910 and was founded by an American woman, Sonora Smart Dodd.
She first had the idea were listening to a Mother's Day sermon a year earlier and was bothered that there wasn't a day to celebrate fathers. As a child, she and her five brothers were raised by their widower father. Their mother had died during the birth of the youngest child.
Sonora Smart Dodd then planned the celebration for his birthday on June 5 but logistics forced her to move it to the third Sunday in June.
By 1913, the idea had spread across the United States, prompting then President Woodrow Wilson approving it and joining Dodd to celebrate it in 1916.
Since then Father's Day has been a day to celebrate fathers all across the world and has been adopted by most countries in the world.
Happy Father's Day!

Join Amnesty campaign for the Saharawi prisoners
Two dozen Saharawi activists have been jailed for 6 years after demanding socio-economic rights. Join Amnesty's campaign demanding their release.

No witnesses, no proof. Only confessions signed under torture.
In February 2013, 25 Saharawi activists were sentenced by a military court from 2,5 years to lifetime for taking part in the organisation of the Gdeim Izik protest camp in November 2010. The camp demanded the socio-economic rights of the people of Western Sahara.

On Amnesty International's website,
you find all you need to know to send a letter, with addresses, demands etc.

Morocco occupies the major part of its neighbouring country, Western Sahara. Entering into business deals with Moroccan companies or authorities in the occupied territories gives an impression of political legitimacy to the occupation. It also gives job opportunities to Moroccan settlers and income to the Moroccan government.
Western Sahara Resource Watch
demands foreign companies leave Western Sahara until a solution to the conflict is found.

Welcome to the website for Andrew Rumbach, Assistant Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Colorado Denver.
As a researcher and teacher, I am broadly interested in urban sustainability and community resilience. My research examines the root causes of environmental risk in cities, asking why low-income and marginalized communities tend to suffer disproportionately from disasters. I am also interested in local government decision-making about disaster and climate risk, especially in small cities and rural communities. My research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, Natural Hazards Center, and the Rockefeller Foundation, among others, and is based primarily in the United States, India and the Pacific Islands.
At the University of Colorado, I teach graduate courses in environmental planning, disaster and climate change planning, and international development.
I am the co-director of the International Planning Case Studies project, which provides practitioner developed cases to international planning educators. I also help manage Planning for Hazards: Land Use Solutions for Colorado, a guide and website for helping communities to build environmental resilience through land-use planning.

Digital Printing Dallas
So you need something printed quickly and you don't have time to ship overnight. Digital printing is made for print on demand type situations. You aren't going to be able to react quickly enough with offset printing. I'll use Dallas as an example since that is our location.
Copyright HEIDELBERGER DRUCKMASCHINEN AG
There are numerous types of digital printing. Wide format, black and white, color laser and digital presses. All have different levels of quality and speed and are made for different printed products. The best way is to know what you want in your Dallas digital printer in the way of product that you need. That will help them determine whether they can help you or not. Tell them in what program the file you made is and what kind of file you will supply them. If it is same day service a digital printer in Dallas or anywhere else may have a limit to the kind of paper they might have to run the job that day.
How do you want the piece finished? You will have limited access to different binding options in same day service. Explain your turn time situation upfront. Digital Printers are use to rush jobs and an honest one will tell you whether he can do it from the very start.
Some jobs will be better done on offset printing if you have time.

216 Columbus AvenueNew York, NY
Gap Inc. tapped Schimenti Construction to build the company's flagship Athleta store in New York City.Athleta, which features ultimate performance apparel and gear for the active woman, is located in a landmark building on Columbus Avenue, in Manhattan. The 3,922 square foot store was completed in just thirteen weeks from construction start to opening. The warm rustic brick and wood décor reflects the Athleta brand, which looks to connect like-minded women in every stage of their fitness journey. The store has three specific sections - yoga, running and exploring - and offers in-store fitness lectures, yoga and Zumba classes.The Schimenti project team, working closely with Athleta's design team, overcame significant project obstacles and challenges. The landmark building storefront had to be reconditioned and the entire project was within an occupied residential building. This meant maintaining a strictly monitored work schedule while minimizing any possible disruptions for building residents. In addition, the construction team had to coordinate new M/E/P systems within very tight ceiling spaces while keeping the structural integrity of the landmark building intact.

I am a list maker. I make lists and I make "sub-lists" . I get made fun of often by my husband, by my friend. But I also have my friendly supportive fellow lister (you know who you are ) Well I have so much going on right now on a daily basis and so much I want to accomplish both long term and short term that I am afraid I will forget something. This has me making many many lists. Now I have stacks of paper. Uh oh ! This has kicked in the organizer in me. She is buried much of the time under mess and stress but she tries ! So I decided I had to get some organization of my lists or regardless of everything being "listed" things would still fall through the cracks. I went to my jumble of project stuff and found a binder and my scrapbook supplies. This is the end result
So far I only have 2 categories
But I am sure I can come up with more as life goes on ! Now I have my lists in one place all neat and organized . I have now really opened myself up to the teasing since I have so many lists I need a binder for them. However my fellow lister understands the need for it, loves it and wants one. I just may have to make her one !

January 9th, 2013 David Finkel (Taxloopholes.com Advisor)
Several years ago I had the good fortune to get to know a billion dollar business owner. In fact, not only did I get to meet him, but I spent close to a week with him one-to-one learning his specific ideas and methodologies to build a world class business.
In fact, his advice personally helped me to reshape two of my companies and triple my profits in less than 36 months.
He's a guy who launched and sold his first business to American Express for over $10 million, then went on to help form, scale, and eventually take public an upstart travel company that had the audacity to leverage a broke, C-list celebrity spokesperson to create a business that today is literally valued at over 25 billion dollars!
His name is Jeff Hoffman, and the company he helped create is called Priceline.com.
Jeff was one of the founding team members and former CEO in the Priceline.com family of companies.
Over the years Jeff has generously volunteered at as a Maui Advisor, sharing his best ideas on scaling and growing a company.
I want to share with you 3 of his best insights. (And what's more, if you'd like to see a 45-minute video of Jeff giving a keynote talk at one of our Business Owner Success Conferences, just follow this link.)
Secret #1: Build a Business, Not a Job
Jeff recognized that most business owners don't build a business so much as they build a self-employed job for themselves.
Why do so many business owners get caught up in the day to day activities and stunt their business's growth and get stuck in the status quo?
According to Jeff the reason is simple, they don't have an accurate road map that gives them a clear model for HOW to build their business.
They think that long hours spent doing the job of their business is going to help them escape. But let's be very clear, you cannot dig your way out of a hole! The faster you dig, the deeper you get.
The same thing is true for business owners–you cannot dig your way out of your business by putting in longer hours doing the job of your business. To escape the Self Employment Trap™ you've got to stop doing the job of your business and step back to grow and develop your business as a business.
Secret #2: To Reach Your Business Dreams, Follow a Better Road Map.
The road map you are using to build your business is one of the biggest determiners of where you'll end up with your business.
Jeff always encourages business owners to build their business with the end in mind of building a business that COULD be sold.
Regardless of whether you ever sell it, this will spark you to build a better business.
You'll incorporate stable systems; you'll groom your leadership team; you'll implement intelligent business controls.
All of these things will make your business more valuable, more scalable, AND easier to own passively.
Secret #3: Get Off the Couch and DO Something.
Jeff shared with our group how the average business owner works hard in the business, but is actually lazy about learning new ways to grow and expand their companies.
Case in point, the conference he was the keynote speaker for had roughly 100 business owners participating. The invitations went out to over 50,000 business owners. Where were the other 49,900 business owners who could have been there that weekend learning concrete ways to grow and expand their business?
One of two places… Either they "had to work" for their businesses (ironic isn't it?) or they were at home "on the couch".
Jeff's observation was that in business it's always the business owner who can consistently get him or herself up off the couch and learn new ways of growing their company that will outshine and outperform the masses of business owners who are just too lazy to break out of old, outdated ways of doing things.
What About You?
Are you a business owner who is "stuck on the couch"? Or are you someone who goes after your business dreams?
If you are the latter–a business owner, who's committed to learn what you need to learn to take your business to the next level–then I encourage you to follow the link below and watch as Jeff personally shares 45 minutes of his best business building insights in this free video training.
This is your chance to learn the real-world realities of launching, growing, scaling, and eventually exiting your business from one of the world's top business experts!
——-> Click here to watch this powerful 45-minute free video now!——->
The real question is whether you will get yourself up off the couch and make the time and invest the energy to learn from Jeff these exciting ways to create huge breakthroughs in your business.
I hope you take me up on my invitation and study this video now.

The Only App for Lounge Access
Create a trip and let LoungeBuddy tell you which lounges you already have access to. Don't have access? No worries – you can purchase instant lounge access in seconds.
Take a breather from the City That Never Sleeps in this blissful, tranquil haven. The outstanding staff welcomes you to enjoy scrumptious light snacks and sandwiches before your flight. Take a cool, refreshing shower and delight in tasty cocktails at the well stocked bar. Relaxation, comfort, and tranquility await all guests before departure.
NOTE: Children under 12 years old are admitted free with an adult.
Across from Gate E2.
This is a nice oasis where you can escape from the busy, chaotic airport.
The food/drink options are quite substantial, including hot soup and mid-shelf liquor. Note that most substantial food options close at 9pm though. Other bonuses include amenities like free printing.
New and modern lounge in the beautiful Terminal 3. Limited snacks and sandwiches available. Full bar. No hot food options. Busy during the evening flights to London in my experience.
Though the food selection is lacking, the service is good. I was one of the few people there, and the attentive staff attended to my every need.
Though this lounge is certainly not a Virgin Clubhouse, it is much better than the usual Admirals Clubs and United Clubs.
Food adequate; just nothing sweet. Lots of seating areas. Staff very helpful.
Much better than the typical U.S. lounge. Decent selection of snacks and drinks. Plenty of space to work or relax, and there's even a shower facility!
Nice low key club. I've only been here when it's empty; it's not huge and I could believe a couple of international flights could fill it
Quite a small lounge and gets very busy in the evening. Basic selection of food and drink inc beers and wines. Nice to have a shower pre-flight but I wouldn't pay to enter the lounge.
Nice staff but just nothing worthwhile here other than the bar. No food, bad coffee... You're better off walking to the Centurion Lounge.
I think this lounge is better than Centurion foods wise (albeit, I am vegan- better choices here). Very friendly staff, a well stocked bar, and ample seating even during the international rush.
Polite staff, reasonable food (for a lounge in the US). Comfortable.
Nice little lounge. Worth while if you have a few hours to kill. Decent food, nice light lunch was also served.
There are a tons of hidden plugs sprinkled throughout the lounge. Like others have said, the food and snack selection is okay, but the coffee machine is fantastic!
Great lounge, not as good as the American Express one in T1, but in terminal 3, I think it's the best.
Nice lounge, no windows. Snack food is good. TVs and a flight departure board. The restrooms could use a facelift. Was pretty crowded at 4pm.
Great little lounge with more European feel than a typical American lounge. Good selection of food, not very crowded. I had trouble paying through lounge buddy, so the attendant told me to use my AAA.
No "real" food options. Just snacks. I'd happily pay extra for hot food options. Wifi is just the same wifi available throughout the airport. It's very slow.
Quiet lounge with no windows. Standard snacks but quiet with good seating options. Shower stall is a nice touch.
Nice lounge. Crowded on a Saturday afternoon. Lots of snack food options & free drinks (beer, wine, mixed). Small, but clean restroom.
Nice, clean lounge. Separate eating and lounging areas. Food offerings were good. Hot soup, crudités, sandwiches, snack foods like popcorn, cookies, chips, coffee, tea and open bar.
Decent beer selection, showers (not shower suites), mediocre food options at 10pm, unique popcorn and Jelly Belly bar.
Early morning visit, no breakfast. Good bar selection and friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable.
Great lounge, food selection was limited at 10:50am, no towels for the men's shower. Otherwise great!
Long line to get in. Most food options were empty or low. They weren't keeping it stocked efficiently. Lots of seating area space. Bartender was nice.
Easy check in, food was okay. Selection a bit limiting, but enjoyed cheese blocks, tea and sandwiches. Nice that chips and cookies were available. A little loud with some families. Will try again.
Refuse SkyTeam customers. Not very friendly.
Does not take American Express.
Very nice simple lounge. A lot nicer than most basic ones. Plenty of basic breakfast foods and a nice coffee machine. Some assorted popcorn and snacks. You can take showers here as well. Very nice!
A little harsh light, food is not bad but not really good either. Personnel is friendly. Can be quite noisy. Coffee could be a lot better.
Large lounge with okay food selection. Be aware that the companion lounge near the D gates is minuscule and doesn't serve any food.
Go with the right expectations and this lounge is a good experience. It's small & rather basic, but for a place to sit for 30 min while sipping a beer and reading email before a flight... it delivers.
Quiet lounge, decent bar, simple food and snacks.
One of the few lounges where all drinks are complimentary. If they have it, it's gratis. Food selection is more of a heavy appetizer feel, and it's of good size. Overall a great lounge!!
Create a trip and let LoungeBuddy tell you which lounges you already have access to. Don't have access? No worries – you can purchase instant lounge access in seconds.

About me:

What comedians they are.
abortabort: "The camera was the surprise launch of Photokina this year, as many assumed Sony had abandoned its SLT cameras in favor of the more popular mirrorless models."
Sorry DPR but you need to stop listening to internet pundits that claim these things and seemingly everyone repeats until it is 'fact'. I mean what was it exactly that made DPR think it was dead? Honestly question? And why was it a surprise? I mean that's like saying the 5D IV was a surprise. Was it really?
So was it that all models were clearly up to date? Or that Sony clearly spent a lot of time / money / effort developing a new AF sensor module for a 'dying' system, something you questioned when the A77 II came out. Something that 'surprised' you when the A68 came out and now 'surprises you' again when the A99 II was announced. Will you be 'surprised' when the A77 III comes out?
I guess the only time you won't be 'surprised' is when they finally do stop making them.
This is after being 'surprised' by Sony introducing a whopping third camera to their APS-C E-Mount line up, I mean that's way too many right? This of course not that long after DPR made claims that Sony seems likely to be dropping APS-C E-Mount all together (just prior to A6300 being announced).
It seems to me that if Sony don't release something every 3 minutes they are abandoning it, but releasing 'too much' is equally a terrible injustice to your expectations.
Stop listening to internet pundits, maybe it might be worth listening to people when you interview them and they say...
"We are continuing to support XYZ, even though we can't talk about upcoming products".

I love the Lighting
Nice Picture but I love the Cat
I really loved everyone's entry.
I'm the only one that see's that some of these pictures are not done with a phone??????
A 550D is not a phone... So WTF
This is a horrible display of what this camera can do. Sony should do some quality control of this article

Hi, love your picture...
What an outstanding group of pictures
Nice! I love this picture
Well deserved... Congrats! PS, tell her I said hi... I'm 14th place
This is the first Challenge where I thought some of the pictures that were after my 44th place should have done better than me... So I'll keep my comments about people's Gene pool quite today... I did like them all!
Now that's Funny... So true
The picture "The beauty of middle age" is a dude... WTF
I wonder how the Mirror that they ricochet a lazer off of to see the distance of the moon which is getting farther and farther away got there. BTW, the base of the Lunar Module is still there... Lets fast forward to Apollo 17 mission... where we actually put a vehicle on the moon and it's still there... How about all the moon rocks 190 to be exact that Nixon gave away and are referred to as the Goodwill Rocks... Hmmm I could go on and on but you know what, you doubter's are just to pathetic and not worth my time.

A person in high school enrolled in the maximum number of Honors and/or Advanced Placement (AP) classes. Most are concerned about their grades and have hopes of attending a "good" college. Generally, these students understand the art of BSing everything - essays the night before, homework either copied from a friend in the hall or done in the class before its due, etc. - and still maintain great grades. Contrary to popular belief, many Honors students are down-to-earth, procrastinate like its their job, and are involved in school acitivities. Of course, you'll always have those few whose only friends are the AP Calculus textbook and #2 pencil.
Honors Student 1: I need the AP Calculus homework that's due today! I had a soccer game last night till 8 and then didn't feel like doing anything so I fell asleep.
Honors Student 2: No problem, I need AP Chemistry though, I only could finish half of it this morning.
Honors Student 1: Yeah, that's fine.

a student in school who apparently can't be inattentive, get good grades, and stay in honors level classes
On the contrary to what many may believe, I know several honors students who procrastinate, don't take notes, don't listen to what the teacher is teaching, and they still get the grades to stay in honors classes. I guess Mrs. Sullivan was wrong.
by RockSt4r September 11, 2008
the honors student is one who fights for the extra point after they already have a 100. they dont just the hundred, they need the hundred and one. in an average honors class, you might find bloodthirsty competive opinionated jerks who are so socially backwards it hurts. these students tend to believe that the 'advanced students'and 'average student'are inferior....which makes it that much more embarassing when the inferior students get the 101
You are such a fucking honors student!!! why do u want that extra point!?!?...ur average in the class is a 98!! jeeez whats wrong with you?!
by nay and amers June 10, 2006
A person who particularily likes to deal with other people's shit in real life, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
That guy is such an honors student. He actually listens to girls, when they talk to him, even if they don't sleep with him at the end of the night.
