possible to chanage the DSN password from list of my ODBC via vb6 code or shell?
Last edited by luca90; Jun 10th, 2017 at 06:04 AM.
Here is a string I use in one of my projects which connects to SQL Server, Tested with SQL Server 6.5 - 2008 using ADO.
Provider=MSDASQL; DRIVER=Sql Server; SERVER=p42800; DATABASE=myDatabase; UID=MyUserID; PWD=MyPassword
Here is another which uses a DSN created by odbc manager
I have used both of these in several projects and never had an issue. I would recommend the top one as it does not require you to create a DSN.
btw in my Case the PC Named p42800 is running SQL Server 2000 and by using the PC name rather than local host that string works both on that pc and from any other pc on the network as well.
Provider=MSDASQL; DRIVER=Sql Server; SERVER=p42800; DATABASE=myDatabase; UID=MyUserID; PWD=MyPassword

The participants enjoyed a view of a bend in the river Elbe – a wonderful location for the second-largest event sponsored by DSAG. Approximately 1,200 users from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria attended 100 sessions covering the latest developments in SAP software and technology. Gerhard Oswald, a member of the SAP Executive Board, used the record-breaking number of visitors to joke, "We just built the SAP Arena here, and if it's too small, we'll soon have a stadium that seats 40,000 not too far from Walldorf."
In his keynote address, Oswald sketched the technology schedule for the current year and emphasized the importance of enhancement packages to SAP's product strategy. SAP will use enhancement packages as the primary means of developing SAP ERP. "The pulse will certainly be much faster," said Oswald. But complete new releases will also continue to appear, including one this year. "It will include new business processes that use Enterprise Services Repository," he said.
Oswald gave the audience current figures that indicate about 1,000 new customers are convinced of the advantages of SAP NetWeaver each month. SAP also gains an average of 40 midsize customers every day, which documents the breakthrough in the midsize market that has occurred.
No support without customers
The keynote address of Uwe Hommel, executive vice president of SAP Active Global Support, showed the effects of the product strategy on operations. His address focused on end-to-end solution operations and SAP Solution Manager as the guarantor of secure integration processes. Hommel said these processes are important because of increasingly complex requirements for the integration of third-party solutions, home-grown solutions based on Java, and the steadily increasing number of users. SAP Solution Manager is the central tool for managing applications uniformly.
Hommel emphasized the importance of customer collaboration, particularly for support. There's a reason he keeps in touch with 35,000 customers as directly as possible. With SAP Solution Manager, every support engineer can use remote support from any supportcenter in the world to analyze and solve problems. According to Hommel, this service will also become available within the next six months for applications of Business Objects, a SAP company. Another new feature in SAP Solution Manager is built-in traces that log all steps and make it easier to identify problems.
The application guarantees that processes are integrated with a uniform quality standard. A network of experts can jump in quickly when needed, which shortens the time needed to diagnose and solve problems. SAP's goal was to drive the required standardization and make it available to more than large customers. SAP Solution Manager serves all customer segments securely.
For operations: Run SAP
More detailed sessions clarified one of the most important innovations in SAP Solution Manager 4.0, SP 15: administrative functions. SAP Solution Manager also has a new work center, which bundles all tasks in the life cycle of an application, for example, those for management and monitoring.
Matthias Melich, vice president of product management for SAP Solution Manager, emphasized the importance of the Run SAP methodology for operating SAP solutions, which is based on standards for solution operations that are realized in the work centers. Run SAP is to solution operations what ASAP is for installation.
IT in the real world
Beat Hauenstein, CIO of Oettinger Imex AG, a part of the Oettinger Davidoff Group, spoke about how IT successfully supports corporate strategy in various business areas at multinational locations. Hauenstein showed how his IT department developed from a punching bag and "cost terrorist" into a respectable part of the company within five years. The absolute foundation during this development was, according to Hauenstein, a clearly defined IT design. The key to success was "continuous innovations with a reasonable use of technology." In this context, he defined "reasonable" as "as much as needed, as little as possible."
Hauenstein used SAP ERP 2004 to consolidate his company's IT landscape, because it is proven technology. His strategy was to maintain existing solutions and to sustain the quality of the system landscape with ongoing investments. He also recommended that IT directors develop project strategies in collaboration with business managers, "promising only what you can deliver."
An update on SAP NetWeaver
Franz-Josef Fritz, vice president of product management for SAP NetWeaver at SAP, gave a technology update on SAP NetWeaver. Fritz looked at the past, the present, and the near future and offered comprehensive insight into the current status of the technology platform. Users can expect the first enhancement package for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 and SAP NetWeaver 7.1, so the functionality of both versions will coalesce by the end of the year.
The enhancement package enables a connection between SAP NetWeaver 7.0 and the next release of the SAP Business Suite family of applications. SAP is also offering new releases of the SAP NetWeaver Portal component, the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation application, and the SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence component.
Deep insight
Attendees split into working groups on the second day of the conference. Most of the sessions focused on concrete examples from the real world of SAP users. Participants discussed the limitations of SAP solutions and how to overcome any weaknesses – for a reporting solution within SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence, maintaining an Internet presence with SAP NetWeaver Portal, or managing risk.
Once again, Technology Days proved to be the second most important event sponsored by DSAG – right after the annual conference. Michael Weber, service manager at Munich Re, summarized the meeting for all participants: "Technology Days are a must for me. I learn about the latest developments here. Of course, I have to read a lot and talk with a lot of people, but here I get the most recent information from one source."

For months now, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota have been running commercials as part of their "Stop Making Excuses" campaign.
The commercials feature actors singing modified lines from the song "Tomorrow" from the musical show "Annie" ("I'll start taking the stairs, tomorrow!").
On Tuesday, when you go to get on the elevator in downtown Minneapolis, you may be invited to dance, do yoga, curl briefcases or take the stairs.
According to the group, 66 percent of Minnesotans have sedentary jobs and 61 percent are overweight or obese.

Pre-Professional Program
Career choice and choice of major field are of course related. They should not, however, be thought of as identical. Many of Fisk's pre-professional programs are organized within traditional arts and sciences disciplines, which the faculty believes are apt to provide the best professional preparation.
Students seeking help with the exploration of career options should consult their academic advisors or personnel of the Career Services Center. Students are advised to get to know the Career Services staff early in the college years, and not to wait until the senior year to begin exploring career options. The Office of Career Services is also an excellent source of opportunities for co-curricular experiences during the summer.

"The Conscience of the Constitution" by Timothy Sandefur
I have been in broadcasting since 1989, and teaching Con Law since 1996, but today will be the first day I interview a former student about his book. In this case the student, Tim Sandefur, was a pain-in-the-neck in class because he always knew when I had said something even slightly wrong and he was an originalist's originalist and I am accepting of the death of substantive due process.
Nevertheless Sandefur has written a wonderful book for Cato: The Conscience of the Constitution: The Declaration of Independence and the Right to Liberty. Tune in today as he joins me for the entire show, and do order and absorb his wonderful book.

Apple overturns Motorola's iPad and iPhone sales bans
Apple has been granted a temporary suspension of a sales ban imposed on some of its products in Germany.
Motorola Mobility had forced Apple to remove several iPad and iPhone models from its online store earlier today after enforcing a patent infringement court ruling delivered in December.
An appeals court lifted the ban after Apple made a new licence payment offer.
However, Germany-based users may still face the loss of their push email iCloud service after a separate ruling.
Patent consultant Florian Mueller, who attended the review, said that the suspension may only last a few days or weeks - but that Apple's revised proposal had been enough to allow it to restart sales.
"The Karlsruhe higher regional court believes that Apple's new offer needs to be evaluated before this injunction can enter into force again,"he wrote on his blog.
"A suspension like this is available only against a bond, but Apple is almost drowning in cash and obviously won't have had a problem with obtaining and posting a bond."
He said that the bond amount was likely to have been about 120m euros ($158m, £100m).
A statement from Apple said: "All iPad and iPhone models will be back on sale through Apple's online store in Germany shortly.
"Apple appealed this ruling because Motorola repeatedly refuses to license this patent to Apple on reasonable terms, despite having declared it an industry standard patent seven years ago."
However, Motorola signalled that it would try to restore the ban.
"We are pleased that the Mannheim court has recognized the importance of our intellectual property and granted an enforceable injunction in Germany against Apple Sales International," a statement said.
"Although the enforcement of the injunction has been temporarily suspended, Motorola Mobility will continue to pursue its claims against Apple."
Pulled products
The sales ban relates to Motorola's patent for a "method for performing a countdown functionduring a mobile-originated transfer for a packet radio system".
Motorola licenses the patent to other companies on Frand (fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory) terms.
Frand-type patents involve technologies that are deemed to be part of an industry standard. In this case Motorola's innovation is deemed crucial to the GPRS data transmission standard used by GSM cellular networks across the world.
Companies must offer Frand-type patents for a reasonable fee to anyone willing to pay.
Apple had previously said it would be willing to pay the fee going forward, but the two firms dispute how much Apple should pay for failing to license the technology up until now. Missed payments are not covered by the "reasonable" rule, and Motorola is able to demand a more expensive price.
Apple's iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 had all been affected - but not its newer iPhone 4S. All 3G models of the iPad were involved, but not their wi-fi-only counterparts.
Email technology
The separate push email ban would only come into effect if Motorola decided to enforce a second judgement that Apple's iCloud and MobileMe infringed another of its innovations.
The patent relates totwo-way communications between pagers and other devicesand was granted in 2002.
If Motorola decides to enforce the judgement some iPhone users in Germany would lose the ability to automatically receive emails as soon as they have been sent. Instead they would either have to manually check their accounts or set their devices to periodically check for updates.
This patent is not deemed to be critical to an industry standard, so the firm does not have to license the technology to Apple even if the iPhone-maker offered to pay.
Apple said that it believed the patent involved was invalid, adding that it was appealing against the decision.
Although the two cases only apply to Germany they may have implications for other European lawsuits. EU rules say different countries' courts can reach different conclusions, but must explain why.
Mr MuellerMr Mueller notes on his blogthat Apple has brought patent claims of its own against Motorola in Germany, and that Motorola also faces a lawsuit filed by Microsoft which is due to be considered next Tuesday.

Saturn Will Be Knocked Out of the Customer Orbit
GM will likely divest the Saturn arm of its auto offerings. The word is that a private equity firm, Black Oak, is seeking to purchase the distrubtion portion of the Saturn business and source the cars from a supplier. Probably looks really good on paper.
The author of the blog post, Phil Lebeau, wonders aloud: "What are the odds a new Saturn will succeed?"
I suppose that depends on your definition of success. Regardless of THAT pointless debate, I have a million questions:
"How does adding a thicker layer of insulation between the customer and manufacturer bring the enterprise-wide value stream closer together?" Sure, Saturn has this distrubtion layer built into its current system, but I wonder if it is currently more integrated now than it will be if the distribution and manufacturing elements of "Saturn" are financially disconnected. One problem that I wonder about is that of warranties. Who covers the warranty? The distribution arm, who had the narrowly defined responsibility of delivering a vehicle? Or the third party manufacturer, who actually built the vehicle? What is the current situation with the big three? Who covers warranty costs now? How would this change? Perhaps the answer lies with Dodge and Chrysler's current situation? How are they handling it?
Another question: "How does customer feedback make it's way back to the kaizen idea point?" Toyota is well known for its tight collaboration from customer to supplier, one Toyota mechanism for this collaboration is the Chief Engineer. Would the silo effect of separating distribution and manufacturing prevent this level of collaboration from happening? Sure, the manufacturer can make cost savings, but how will they know that changes do not adversely affect customer perception of value, safety, performance, etc., before it is too late? Again, I wonder if the feedback loop is broken because distribution creates an invisible wall between customer and manufacturer.
Anyway, just a few thoughts. To answer Mr. LeBeau's question though, my gut feel says that a new Saturn will be knocked off the customers' orbit path.

Van de Velde
Van de Velde creates, produces and commercialises luxurious women's lingerie under its own brand names. Van de Velde is originally a Belgian company, and all key activities are managed from Belgium: design and product development, production of prototypes and fitting models, purchase (mainly European raw materials), quality control of incoming material, cutting the fabric, final inspection, administration, distribution and sales and marketing.
Van de Velde has grown strongly through the years, partly because of a number of acquisitions. Because of this growth, the IT landscape became complex, proportional to the growth of a number of applications to support the different business processes.
In addition, Van de Velde has resolutely opted for a digitisation of the organisation.
The competitive market in which Van de Velde moves requires them to adopt a more flexible architecture, one that can facilitate and support the rapid changes in business processes in a simple, accurate and fast way.
From this point of view, Van de Velde experienced some challenges with regard to integration of data and applications. Their current solutions are seen as too expensive, too complex, functionally inadequate and not flexible enough.
In this context Van de Velde asked us to analyse these challenges and propose a future-proof solution.
It was recommended and decided to perform an ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) tool to check the technological capabilities against the business and technology needs of Van de Velde.
The question was addressed in a pragmatic and phased manner. Interactive workshops were used to exchange information, which led to several adjustments based on the insights gained in these discussions.
- Establish and refine the selection framework based on the specific context and strategy of Van de Velde
- Selection of the ESB platform
- Performing a pilot
The practical approach for this selection was based on the constraints posed by Van de Velde and the deep expertise and experience of our employees (LoQutus ESB Selection Framework). Both open source and proprietary ESB's were taken into consideration. The result of this study led initially to a short list of three integration platforms. Important components/factors of the study:
- Long term business and IT requirements
- Selection criteria and weighting
After the selection of the right solution, a successful Proof of Concept was realised.
The entire selection process was carried out to the satisfaction of Van de Velde. The client was closely managed during the selection process and definition of the ESB context as well as the design and implementation of the selection process.
Moreover, because of these powerful interactions, knowledge about the integration architecture, vision and solutions were transferred to the employees of Van de Velde.
During the next phase of the project, LoQutus will assist with training and coaching as the chosen integration solution is implemented.
Van de Velde now has the right integration architecture to address various challenges with regard to business process changes, acquisitions, and the further digitisation in a very efficient way.

I punched Jesse Ventura when I was 15.
I was in a mall, wasting time feeling miserable with my friends, looking all the vanity and consumerism of the unlearned people, when Jesse Ventura, dressed as a mariachi, went out of a mexican restaurant where he was playing the guitarrón in the band, and looking at me he said that my mom was so fat that the last time she farted, she destroyed a five city and the tons of ash and dust raised 30,000 feet and expanded through the whole atmosphere, blocking Sun's light and heat and causing a global ice age. Naturally, I took offense, and after approaching in style and calmly removing my silky glove I summoned all my manliness to punch him right in the chin, where I left engraved a fleur-de-lis mark from my ring and that is proof of what I'm saying. Pushing himself up with his hands and recovering verticality he said "fair enough", and left.
Many Garcia told me a story on September 19 of this year:
I punched Jesse Ventura when I was 15.

The 26-year-old Gothy gamine has been spotted at various "Casino Royale" premieres around the world sporting ghastly manes that appear to be bloodcurdling homages to Morticia Addams and The Bride of Frankenstein. Boo!
Sadly, even the Rosie O'Donnell-spawned man-bob would be an improvement over Green's macabre bird's nest bristles.

Copenhagen: Declaring that Assembly poll verdict in Jammu and Kashmir was against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on Thursday said the Centre would work in 'close cooperation' with elected representatives of the state to fulfil the aspirations of the people. Congratulating the 'courageous and patriotic' electorate of Kashmir valley, Jammu and Ladakh, he said, 'Before the start of the electoral process, we had pledged that the elections would be free and fair. This promise, too, has been fulfilled.' Vajpayee, who is here to attend the India-EU Summit, said, 'The people of J and K have given their verdict. And the winner, clearly, is India's democracy.' In a statement, he said, 'I would also like to assure that the Centre would work in close cooperation with the elected representatives in Srinagar to fulfill the aspirations of the people.' The Prime Minister said that before and during the course of the assembly election he had stated that irrespective of which candidate or party won 'it would be a vote for Kashmiriyat, and it would be vote against Pak-sponsored terrorism and Pakistan's anti-India propaganda.' 'Our stand has been resoundingly vindicated both by people's enthusiastic participation and by the outcome of the polls,' he said.

I have to admit that I don't usually have a kind word for him either. But let's look at the bigger picture.
American (and western in general) foreign policy has been a disaster for almost eighty years. American wars have left a trail of disaster and murder all over the world. And, almost without exception, they have been losers. The mighty US, in 16 years, cannot defeat a small, poor, and divided Afghanistan. In Vietnam, it napalmed, destroyed the agriculture of Vietnam, and killed millions of Vietnamese. And it still lost.
It accomplished nothing in Iraq. (Nor did our news media ever mention the courage of that small nation which stood up to the mighty U.S.) Syria is a chaos with no indication the U.S. can win. American bombs (and sometimes American bombers) are murdering a nation already starving in Yemen, and they don't seem to be able to win it. The U.S. has been losing ground in the middle east despite massive spending to keep Muslim Jihadists armed and trained to murder Syrians. In Saudi Arabia, Britain and the U.S. created and still maintain the the world's most brutal dictatorship. Americans, in general, are in no rush to die 'for their country'. In fact, the American army is largely made up of foreign mercenaries. hired thugs.
The net result is a U.S. that is hated in most of the world, including Mexico and South America. And included in that result is a stunning lack of any success. On the contrary, the U.S. is in real danger of losing influence in the middle east and in Asia. And even some European countries are shuffling nervously toward the exit. And it is likely that only the kiss-ups, like the British, will remain faithful.
The major result, which our news media seem unaware of, is massive failure in foreign policy, perhaps the greatest such failure in history.
In comparison to every American president since Roosevelt, Trump could be called a foreign affairs genius. (But let me put the important part of that in capital letters. Trump is a foreign affairs genius IN COMPARISON only.)
Generally, the U.S. has dissolved much of the world into chaos. Part of that chaos are the states of Israel and Palestine.
As the article in Harretz (above) mentions, Jews and Muslims lived together in peace for centuries in the Holy Land. Then, in World War 1, a British Lord intervened.
Lord Balfour had two objectives in mind. One was to solidify the British foothold in the middle east. The other was to get rid of British and European Jews. (Hitler was by no means the western world's first racist.)
However, Jews of Europe at the time had to wish to move. They had sense enough to realize that Judaism is a religion, not a race. They had, like all of us, very mixed blood. (MY DNA has a trace of west Asian barbarian.) So it was really Hitler, not Balfour, who created a Jewish state as European Jews of the early, postwar years, denied entry to countries like the U.S. and Canada, stormed Palestine, and took it.
The western powers rubber-stamped that. The U.S. then armed Israel so that it has become the world's eighth ranked military power. That had nothing to do with helping Jews. It had to do with the U.S. displacing a British foothold in the region.
The Palestinians, who had lived in peace with Palestinian Jews now found themselves pushed out of their homes, and into the less desirable region of what had been Palestine. Those who remained in Israel found themselves treated as contemptible inferiors And those who moved to the new Palestine found themselves routinely invaded to take their land and kick them off it and out of their homes.
Hitler did not destroy Judaism. But he certainly destroyed a great many Judaic principles.
Trump wants to restore peace to the region. He might well be naive. But he is at least trying to clean up the horror created by a century of western greed and abuse.
Credit where credit is due.
Also in Israel, President Netanyahu is angry at his country's public broadcaster (much like Canada's nationally-owned CBC). As such public broadcasters are inclined to do, it tries to tell the truth. And that's a no-no.
Here in Canada, the CBC faces constant threats, and for the same reason. There are important people who feel it's more important for us to be in ignorance of what's going on.
No, better to do what newspapers like Brunswick news do. What's the biggest story in the Canada and World section? It's about how Chuck Berry influenced rock 'n' roll.
There is, however, an inspiring letter to the editor about how immigrants, people of different races and religions, are swarming in to take our jobs. Too true, baby.
When the first Decarie (from France) settled in Montreal, the aboriginal people already there should have put a stop to it. Then we let in Protestants, Jews, English, Italians Greeks, Irish, just a smorgasbord of job thieves. Two of them would have been ancestors of the letter writer.
The writer feels they should have stayed home to work in their own countries. So true. Of course, it's hard to work in countries where a million and more have been killed by us, refugeed by us, and their cities destroyed by us, and the survivors fled from the horror. And it's hard for their orphaned children to go to schools that we bombed.
They're here because we gave them no choice. So just consider accepting a tiny fraction of them as our good deed for the day.
An indicator of how American foreign policy has been disastrous for decades is the move of Russia into Syria. It's there to stay. The U.S. policy has made the whole region unstable. And this is exactly why Trump wants a peaceful settlement to the Israel/Palestine issue. (And the oil industry, I suspect, doesn't want one.)
For over a century the people of China suffered in a poverty imposed by western capitalists. Mass starvation was frequent. All of those years were steadily downhill. Much of the old China was still visible in the days when I worked there. And there were plenty of people who remembered when the only food was cabbage. Now, with the western capitalists disposed of, China has magnificent cities, with one hundred of them having over a million people each.
So let's fast forward twenty years. Can you imagine the progress China will have made by then?
Now can you understand why leaders of western corporations want war with China - now?
Here's glowing story about a wunnerful, wunnerful America family. David Rockefeller has died at 101. He was, says The Guardian, a philanthropist as all his family had been. Funny, though, how The Guardian missed most of the story.
The Rockefellers, going back into the nineteenth century, made their money out of paying low wages for work in bad and even dangerous conditions. That caused trouble about a century ago when the Rockefellers faced workers who demanded better pay. The 'philanthopic' Rockefellers kicked them out of their company owned mining town, leaving them camped in tents for the winter. Then, one day, company guards and militia opened fire on the families in tents.
It was very embarassing. Bad PR. So they hired MacKenzie King (later prime minister of Canada) to set up a campaign showing the Rockefellers were really 'jes' folks like everybody else. There were newspaper photos of Rockefeller sons dancing with coal miners' daughters. To this day, there are people who believe all the Rockefeller boys marrie coal miners' daughters.
What they gave was always less than what they took. But The Guardian has a story on this that reads like a page from Brunswick News. Mr. Rockefeller was such a wonderful man. And he met famous people. And he rose brilliantly in the business world. And, of course, being born a billionaire had nothing to do with it.
When the Russian were bombing jihadists in Aleppo, we got lots of news stories about how their bombs were killing children. And we got lots of wonderful stuff about the 'white helmets' saving children. Remember the photo of the little boy who became the subject of an Oscar-winning documentary?
Luckily, American and Iraqi bombs dropping on the city of Mosul don't kill children. - unless you look at these pictures...
And here's another piece of news we haven't been given.
Aren't those North Koreans just terrible? We'll have to go to war with them again. People who think that never think of the butcher's bill. I think it would be even higher than this article says, probably much higher.
And China, looking at the attack on its neighbour, thus permitting an American military presence on the China border, would have to intervene to prevent that. And then the death count on either side would beggar any estimate.
And on a lighter note.
The tax story in Canada is very similar to this one. Thank you, Mr. Trudeau.
Oh, The American government is putting forward a health care package in which those who are out of work will get no health care. Damn right. Those unemployed people are just lazy. The 1930s depression was really just a mass outbreak of laziness.
Here's an angle on Mexican migration to the U.S. that I have never seen in our news media. (Be sure to read it to the end.)
This next one is very, very long. And I must add another piece to it.
It's about the need for free university tuition. What I want to add is the desperate need to make university teachers learn how to teach. I spent nine years in university - and almost all of them were spent memorizing things that I have never needed, and have long since forgotten.
Students don't need memorizing. They need the capacity to think, to analyze, to make judgements. Very few university teachers know how to teach that. That's why so many of us read newspapers without being able to make any judgement about them. That's why so many of us are easily suckered by propaganda.
And then there are our good friends at Monsanto.
Sorry. Today's blog is long because I ran away with myself at the start. The problem, in this case, was that the creation of Israel needed a lot of explaining. For a start, it was part of a political game to give the U.S. extra power in the middle east. And some twenty years earlier, Britain had been floating the idea of Jewish homeland - essentially in a desire to cut France out of the region.
Nations very seldom tell the truth about why they do things. (The U.S. had hoped to use WW2 to destroy British imperial power, and to take over from the British. They succeeded in destroying the British. But they weren't able to take over the big prize - China.)

Praveen Jain meets me in the corridor of the Press Club in Delhi. It is a place overrun by bearded, grey-haired men, ripe with opinion and experience. A young face, it seems, would naturally assume the shape of a question mark here. Having just arrived after appearing for an interview with a television channel, Jain appears relaxed, as if he has found home footing. Twenty-six years ago, though he was in unreliable, unpredictable territory.
"I reached Ayodhya on the morning of the 4 December. My editor Vinod Mehta wanted me to get as close as possible to what was happening. We covered the press conferences in the evening that day. But even then, most reporters on the ground thought it was a political gimmick, a stunt to draw attention and nothing more. I knew they were serious," he says.

Today is "Earth Day" which is meant to recognize the "plight" of the earth and demonstrate support for environmental protection. Started by environmental activists in 1970, every year we are bombarded on this day with messages of why "Climate Change" and "Global Warming" is so gosh darn bad for us and the future of humanity, blah, blah, blah.
Well what do you want us to do about it? That is why we feel these cupcakes need to shut their kale filled pie hole. If so called "Global Warming" is really going to happen, it actually sounds pretty kick ass!
1. Global Warming Will Destroy Property Value Of Annoying Coastal Elites
The people who whine the most about "Global Warming" are always the ones living on the coasts, screaming that their city is going to be flooded by rising sea levels. So if their worst fears actually do come to pass, the good news is it will completely ruin the property value of their beloved beach houses!
2. More Chicks In Bikinis
Since the climate scientists say Florida will be underwater and the temperature everywhere will be hotter, where the hell are we going to go for Spring Break to see chicks in bikinis? Everywhere! You will be booking a trip to beautiful, sunny Minnesota where the farm girls will be wearing their skimpy two pieces year round!
3. Canadians Will Stop Complaining About Cold Weather
The worst part of their NOT being Global Warming is that we have to constantly listen to our friends to the north complain about the weather. So if the temperature heats up in Canada to a nice balmy 60 degrees (hot for them) you will no longer hear the cringe inducing phrase "Cold enough for ya, eh?"
4. Awesome Mad Max Desert In American Heartland
Did you like the kick ass action in the latest Mad Max film? What if you could open the door to your post-apocalyptic hut and experience that every day in real life? The heartland of America will look like a set from Fury Road and if you can imagine be even more kick ass. Old Max, Mel Gibson will probably be there too and have some interesting "rants" on how he can't believe Global Warming is real.
5. Justifies Switch To Nuclear Power Which Is Way Better Anyway
The environmentalists say that to combat climate change we should all switch to "renewables" like wind and solar. But do you really want to strap solar panels to your house and look like a giant pussy? If GW is real than why bother with renewables? Nuclear power will provide cheaper and more plentiful energy. And besides; with the coming climate apocalypse all of those nuclear facilities will make the "dark times" all that much more fun with all the cool mutants we were promised in B-movies from the 1980's!
6. Global Warming Will Cut Down On Heating Bills
The "scientists" want us to believe that by the year 2100 average temperatures in America are going to rise up to 12 degrees Fahrenheit. If this is the case, it is time to celebrate! We will no longer have freezing, frigid winters where we have to jack up the heat on the thermostat just so we don't get frostbite taking our boots off in the entryway to the house. It will be warmer everywhere! The enviro-hippies should be happy as we will finally have to use less gas for heating!
7. Gulags Likely To Be More Pleasant In The Winter
Environmental activists like to try and make Americans feel guilty with pictures of the sad, freezing political prisoners in the gulags of North Korea and other hellholes. The good news is that if Global Warming is real, and temperatures rise those poor souls will live through the winter. Yay!
8. The Ice Age Would Suck
We are always been warned that the earth is going to overheat or conversely that we might be plunged back into another Ice Age. Well if Global Warming "wins" than we can be thankful that we avoided the Ice Age. I mean think about it: would you rather burn to death or freeze to death?
9. Get More Use Out Of My Convertible
For years our environmental friends have warned us to stop driving our Hummers because of "Global Warming." So Hummer pretty much went out of business and now everyone is driving a tiny little Smart Car to save on gas. But what am I supposed to do with my sweet convertible half the year when it is snowing? With more time during the year to drive with my top down, finally I will have the freedom in vehicle choice to drive what the hell I want, when I want!
10. Able To Yacht In The North Atlantic Without Pesky Icebergs
Earth Day folks are always talking about the icebergs and how they are melting. Yes, and? With these giant chunks of ice out of the way we can yacht all the way through the North Atlantic unobstructed!
11. Most Of Us Will Be Dead By Then Anyway So Let These Sniveling Millennials BURN.
In the coming Global Warming apocalypse they won't be complaining about the Wi-Fi being out when their smart phones are melting into the palms of their undeserving hands. Besides, climate scientists say the shit isn't really going to hit the fan until 2100, at which point, I don't know about you, but I'll be dead. So why should I care?
12. Al Gore Will Become So Self-righteously Smug That His Face Will Pucker Into His Own Asshole
An inconvenient truth of Global Warming actually turning out to be real is that former Vice President and climate change alarmist Al Gore will have been right. Standing amidst the Hellscape formerly known as America, Al Gore will instantly become so incredibly smug with a sense of self-righteous indignation that his entire face will literally pucker into his own asshole. So if you put aside having to listen to Gore scream "I told you so" at ear shattering decibels- witnessing this spectacle would be pretty damn funny.
13. The Annoying Whining Wir of Electric Cars Will Be Drowned Out By The Howling Winds of The Dust Bowl.
Once Global Warming hits there will be no sense in pretending that anyone actually likes electric cars- it will be too late. The only whining more annoying than an environmentalist is that weird, whining sound electric "cars" make when drivers step on the "gas" – or the "go pedal" or whatever they call it.
14. We Won't Have To Use Those Shitty Low Flow Toilets
The worst thing that the enviro-nazis and Earth Day hippies have pushed on America is the concept of a "low flow toilet." These bathroom atrocities became popular in the 1990's in an effort to curb water use. With them we were robbed of the ability to take a good hearty red meat infused dump without the possibility of clogging the pathetic john with its little trickle of water pushing my man sized turd. I always end up flushing twice anyway! When Global Warming finally happens, it will "be too late" as they always rave. We can go back to FULL FLOW toilets that use enough water that every time you flush them another village in South East Asia is wiped out by drought!
15. Smoke 'Em If You Got Em. Show Those Doctors And Liberal "Scientists" Who The Boss Is And Start Smoking A Pack Of Cigarettes A Day!
If the whole world will be burning as "97 percent scientists" want you to believe, then why not start smoking a pack of cigarettes a day now? (Assuming the liberal media already got to you and you are not already a smoker.) What do you have to lose? Those liberal scientists and doctors say smoking causes cancer? Ha. Even if they are correct, what difference does it make if their "Global Warming" is going to kill us all anyway, right? Don't let Al Gore win. Smoke 'em if you got em, mother fucker!

Investment Philosophy
Our research indicates that investors often underestimate earnings potential as a company demonstrates positive fundamental change and that investors are inherently change and risk averse.
Core Beliefs
We believe markets are not perfectly efficient and that investors biases create exploitable anomalies. Our clear, consistent, and repeatable investment process seeks to identify and exploit these persistent anomalies through:
- Focused stock selection: capitalizing on the distinction between good investments and good companies.
- Strategic portfolio construction: embracing rewarded risk while isolating stock selection as the key driver of our results over time.
Three key characteristics essential to our approach
Years of research and experience indicate that companies demonstrating positive fundamental change, with exploitable expectation gaps, at attractive relative valuations are the most promising investment candidates. As such, every aspect of our stock selection discipline is focused on differentiating companies on the basis of these three key characteristics:
The Power of Fundamental Change – distinguishing good companies from good investments
We seek companies with improving and sustainable business fundamentals. This can be found in many forms, such as rising top-line growth, margin expansion, favorable product cycles, and industry trends. We're particularly focused on identifying companies with accelerating and sustainable earnings and cash flow trends.
Our research analysts' fundamental expertise is complemented by some of the best analytical tools in the industry, providing us a competitive advantage in identifying change in business conditions at an early stage. We scrutinize company operation performance, competitive position, capital deployment, and we engage company management to develop a complete assessment of each company we invest in. By evaluating the underlying business drivers of positive fundamental change, we're able to assess both its sustainability and potential vulnerabilities.
Rising investor expectations – exploiting the expectations gap
This is where we incorporate the principles of behavioral finance. Once we've honed in on a company that is either showing potential for, or demonstrating fundamental change, we seek to understand the market's expectation in order to identify surprise potential. We refer to the difference between the market's expectation for a company's earning potential and our estimate as the "expectations gap."
Our research shows that the closing of this gap occurs slowly, and that this anomaly is persistent over time. Seeking to exploit the inherent biases of the sell side and other investors, we carefully analyze consensus expectations, disparate views, estimate revision trends, and rating changes. This research helps us find investment opportunities that offer the greatest potential for positive earnings surprise, while remaining keenly aware of movements that impact the gap.
Attractive relative valuation
Our research indicates that the performance potential of positive fundamental change is greatest when accompanied by discounted valuations, and is greatly diminished by valuation premiums. We seek companies with upward re-rating potential—meaning that they're delivering earnings growth and earnings surprise. But, we don't want to overpay, so we use valuation as our anchor to reality, ultimately investing in companies that offer opportunities for valuation and earnings multiples expansion and high cash flow return on investment relative to peers, history, and intrinsic risk premiums.

The new Vintage paperback edition of The Valley of Unknowing comes out just after Easter. This is the new cover, front and back (below). I don't know whether this photograph was taken in Dresden or not, but I do know it was taken in the former GDR. At my suggestion the figure in the foreground was 'enhanced' - which in this case means made to look less fat.
If only life could be Photoshopped as easily as a black & white photograph, we'd all be much better off. Or would we ...?

text: For the past year, I've been developing this project in collaboration with Ellen Sebastian Chang and the support of the Great Wall of Oakland. It finally went up last week, and here's the first article about it. We have a lot of footage we will be sharing, and more about it on the project website and my own.

And for those of you deeply saddened by the whole Hostess kerfloffle, cry no more, for you can now make your own Twinkies at home.
Next up, we take a step back in time to the year 1975 where these were all the rage in every household.
Now, I understand there is a definite need for this item as some of us still have some treasured vinyl stored away. (Ahem, hand raised ever so slightly.) However, I found it odd to see so many at a book store that doesn't even sell music.
And finally, the pièce de résistance. This item is so spectacular, I have no words. But feel free to supply your own comments below.

If last year's event was anything to go by, the 2016 AICM National Conference will be an opportunity you won't want to miss.
The 2016 AICM (Australian Institute of Credit Management) National Conference will take place at the Gold Coast's Sea World Resort from Wednesday 12 to Friday 14 October.
Set to feature industry experts, thought leaders and regulators ready to address current and future issues faced by credit managers, the event's topics are designed to ensure you return to the office with all of the current and best-practice credit management tools you need to face the challenges of tomorrow head-on.
As the largest gathering of credit professionals in Australia, the conference forms a core part of how AICM strives to provide for the education, career needs and interests of all who work in the credit industry. The event, which has been taking place for over 20 years, is proud to recognise and develop the experience of AICM's 2400 individual members working in more than 1300 companies – 34 of which are included in the ASX 100.
Last year's event welcomed a record-breaking number of attendees and 2016 is on track to be the best professional development and networking opportunity of the year.
What's in store?
The conference, which is made possible by the support of Veda (premium sponsor) and Austral (supporting sponsor), will have a global and future focus, and several breakout sessions will cover core credit topics.
While the complete list of keynote speakers will be announced over the next few weeks, we're thrilled to have both Patrick Cavanagh, Adjunct Professor of Law, University of Queensland Business School and Helen Anderson, Associate Dean Undergraduate, Melbourne Law School, The University of Melbourne, on board to lead discussions in 2016.
Just some of the key issues our speakers will tackle include:
- Economic update
- Changes to legislation, eg: extension of Unfair Contracts Law
- Developments in insolvency law and its impacts
- Evolution of the profession
- Risk analysis
- Collections efficiency
- Identifying insolvency risk
- Defending your security
- Minimising risk of preference claims
- Achieving high performance
- How to reset expectations as team numbers decline
The Credit Leadership Forum
Introduced to the conference just last year, the Credit Leadership Forum is designed for experienced and aspiring leaders, managers, supervisors, team leaders and team members.
Due to the last year's positive feedback, the Forum will be held again this year on Wednesday 12 October, from 8.45am-12.00pm. Broken into two sessions, discussions will be delivered by leadership experts whose influence has seen good managers grow to become exceptional leaders.
Combined with the credit-specific learning and updates you'll gain from the conference, the Credit Leadership Forum will ensure you're able to put your newfound knowledge to the most effective use.
Some key benefits of the workshop include:
- Gain control over your team's outcomes
- Build team adaptability and build on your current level of success
- How to save time, which will allow you to have a more strategic approach
- Increase team engagement, effectiveness and results
- Help your team to improve their abilities and connection to the rest of the business
"The Leadership Forum is a great warm-up for those attending the National Conference – it sets the right mindset with a leadership focus before knuckling down on the credit-specific sessions at the conference," says AICM CEO Nick Pilavidis.
So, be sure to mark your diary for this October and we look forward to seeing you there.

Despite months and months of dancing around the topic, Kailyn Lowry has finally confirmed she is pregnant! While this isn't exactly a huge shock due to her ever-growing baby bump, it's still exciting that the Teen Mom has officially come clean about the wonderful news.
Her biggest reason for keeping the pregnancy a secret for so long? Privacy. She tweeted:
No matter what people will always say we don't deserve privacy or assume we just don't want it. Definitely unfair.
Amen, sister. You're totally entitled to your privacy ... but since the cat's out of the bag now, how about letting us all in on the baby's gender?
Tell us, Kailyn! Boy or girl? BOY OR GIRL???
Well, unfortunately, we'll have to wait to hear about that as well. Apparently Kailyn's a fan of not knowing the baby's gender until the actual birth. That's what happened with her first baby, Isaac ... and the same goes for baby #2.
So even though Kailyn wore pink to her baby shower, that doesn't mean a little girl is on the way. Maybe it just means Kailyn wanted to wear pink that day. Hey, pink's a good color, I dig it.
And I definitely think a congratulations is in order for Kailyn and her lovely husband, Javi Marroquin! We can't wait to see your little bundle of joy. I'm sure he OR she will be absolutely perfect.
Are you excited about the news? What do you think Kailyn is having -- a boy or a girl?

text: We mention this in our new book but probably it deserved a longer take: The Beatles' song "Because" off Abbey Road is based on the famous passage in the Moonlight sonata's opening movement, played backwards. Once you know that, it is obvious, especially since the intro is played on electric harpsichord (by George Martin). John Lennon was quoted explaining: "Yoko was playing Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' on the piano ... I said, 'Can you play those chords backwards?' and wrote 'Because' around them." Please, no jokes about hearing "Paul is dead" on this.

How might it feel to be feel inspired to accept yourself fully and treat yourself with tender compassion?
What might be possible for you if you were truly able to make space for yourself in your everyday life?
When you think about taking better care of yourself, you may tell yourself that your life is already too full with appointments and obligations and things that you really should do.
But, your quality of life matters. The way that you work with yourself and tend to your body matters.
"I would describe Mara's coaching style as – Sweet. Blessed. Relief. In booking my Afternoon of Deserving, at first it about my being worried about my business, then having the sinking feeling that I don't have any wants or desires, so WTF is wrong with me? It came down to wrestling with the idea that my wants and desires were wrapped up in trying to prove my worthiness."
I was excited to work with Mara because she walks her talk. I had no doubts. Since my Afternoon of Deserving, I have relaxed and I am more aware of my thoughts around my worth and my right to exist on the planet for no other reason than that I am here. I have also allowed myself to "meander" in regards to what I might like to do with my website as its being redesigned, blog/newsletter ideas, as well as ideas for making my website launch fun for both me and my peeps. If someone I loved were considering embarking on this work, I would tell them: Mara's got your back."
– Karen Anderson, Self-Trust Agent + Acceptance Whisperer
Afternoon of Deserving is about hitting the reset button on your relationship with yourself.
It is about showing up and ushering more of you into your daily life.
It is about recalibrating your connection with your body and remembering how to receive the gift of your own love and tender attention.
This is an invitation for women who want to feel whole again. This is the path, guiding you home.
Together we will lovingly craft a structure to infuse the practice of tending to those needs into your daily life.
I hear you saying, "I'm so far gone – one afternoon couldn't possibly help me."
Of course, one afternoon will not fix your entire relationship with yourself.
Instead, this invitation is designed to meet you where you are, in this moment, and grant you the renewed bravery, resolve, and tools to begin your way back.
"I did feel a little nervous – like maybe I wasn't qualified for coaching? Maybe my insecurities and struggles were too petty and cliched? That I was showing up with the same mundane issues that EVERYONE struggles with – and that the solution should be "just buck up and do a better job". Much to my relief, that wasn't at all the case.
If a friend or loved one was asking me about an Afternoon of Deserving, I'd tell them to DO IT. I'll tell strangers to do it, too. I think it's essential to have an unbiased outside perspective. It can be so freeing and so motivating to have someone look at these fragments of struggle and help piece together the problem – and come up with a plan to solve it."
– Evan Leah Quinn, Webdesign + Rebranding expert at SixteenJuly
It is possible to make a long term, lasting shift in how you approach self-care.
This isn't about bubble baths on top of mountains with cascading baskets of bonbons.
This is about making space for choices that nourish you. This is about experiencing the delicate, gorgeous harmony that accompanies the knowledge that you can trust yourself to follow through – every time.
It's possible for you, no matter how long it's been since you've felt this way.
In fact, it's possible for you even if you've never felt this way.
You will learn:
- How to cultivate a realistic, daily baseline for self-care that meets your basic needs.
- Personalized rituals for infusing more celebration + joy into your daily life.
- A greater understanding of what lights you up + a plan for moving forward.
You will feel:
- Understood, loved + not the least bit judged – by yourself or by me.
- Revitalized + excited about your ability to take care of yourself.
- Reconnected to your divine self + purpose.
"Before I booked my Afternoon of Deserving I was wrestling with body image and diversifying my professional work. I thought that being asked the right questions I could get closer to my clarity about what I need most in my life at this time and then gain perspective on a plan to accomplish it.During our work together, Mara was warm, insightful, and helpful. She is a loving spirit with beautiful gifts. I'm so happy to have spent time nurturing myself with her help and guidance. I'm now feeling really ready to honor my truest needs and in turn, give myself permission to explore the creation of a new career path."
– Debbie D., Clinical Social Worker
The Details
You'll start your off your Afternoon of Deserving by digging into your Deserving Playbook – full of questions designed to get to the heart of what is working for you and what isn't. I will work through those questions ahead of our session, so that we can dive right in.
On the day of our afternoon together, you and I will hop on the phone for 90 minutes. We will work together to develop a plan that has you prioritizing yourself in your daily schedule – including rituals, techniques, and actionable steps to follow. I love a well-fitting soul-plan – don't you? During this time we will work together to come up with an intention that supports your vision for your life.
Then, we'll get off the phone, and you will have two hours to relax and take exquisite care of yourself while I do a piece of energy work for your intention. You may use this time to take a nap, schedule a massage, or luxuriate in the bathtub while reading your favorite book.
Struggle with self-care? We'll whip up a plan for this time during our initial conversation.
After your self-care time is up, you and I will hop back on the phone for 45 minutes to discuss, fine tune, and celebrate your hard work.
After our call, you will receive access to a top secret page with my four favorite tools for reconnecting to yourself and videos describing how best to implement them. You will also receive mp3 recordings of your calls so that you can listen to them again and again.
Questions? Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I can't wait to hear from you.

It's going to be okay. It isn't horrible that you've fallen into a state of disrepair. You are a human being and not a robot. Sometimes we get lost, but that does not mean that we have to continue living our lives feeling disconnected and out of touch.We can choose to believe that our quality of life is important and worth working for.
We can recommit to ourselves, as many times as we need to.We can choose to prioritize our homecoming.Your process does not have to be pretty. It only has to be truthful, and it has to be yours.I want to tell you that you deserve so much more from your relationship with yourself. You are strong and brave enough to begin again. I will show you how.
Let me remind you of your spark within.

SOURCE: Oil-Dri Corporation of America
November 20, 2012 16:43 ET
CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Nov 20, 2012) - Oil-Dri Corporation of America (NYSE: ODC), the makers of Cat's Pride and one of the leading manufacturers of cat litters in the world, provided nearly 40,000 pounds of cat litter to shelters in the Northeast. Together with the American Humane Association and other major manufacturers, litter, food and medications were provided for cats and dogs impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Cat's Pride cat litter and other necessary pet supplies were unloaded in three New Jersey locations in dire need of support: Bergen County, Atlantic County and Staten Island. The American Humane Association's Red Star™ Animal Emergency service team unloaded the donated supplies and directed them to some of the estimated 30 million pets in need, while local volunteers from Guardians of Rescue handled distribution.
Due to the influx of pets from evacuated families and families who lost their homes due to Hurricane Sandy, animal shelters were hit particularly hard by the storm. Many facilities lost electricity and were faced with the inability to maintain or replenish their supplies. Because of this harrowing situation, American Humane Association was invited by government officials to provide help. Charged with this task, American Humane Association reached out to its national corporate partners for product donations to assist in the effort.
Through the sale of its products, Cat's Pride has a long history of partnering and supporting the mission of American Humane Association. For more information about Cat's Pride please visit our new website http://www.catspride.com.

The dining room all decked out for Halloween
The Podlings all look forward to Halloween. I endeavour to keep the scary out of it and we make it a fun family day. We don't do trick or treating, so I always give the Podlings a basket of treats in the morning instead and they always look forward to coming downstairs in the morning to find the decorations up and some lovely goodies waiting for them. Mark's Mum and Dad were able to come across and spend the day with us. We carved pumpkins, baked and decorated fairy cakes, played games and had a special Halloween tea. The Podlings dressed up and we all had a really fun time.
Tom had a Cub camp this weekend, but was adamant that he wanted to spend Halloween with his family as he didn't want to miss out on the fun we have. He spent Friday night and Saturday at his Cub camp, but came home to spend the evening with us (briefly popping back to Cubs to watch the bonfire and fireworks display). We ended the day, as always with the doughnut game and a round of Ghost Hunt before packing four tired little people off to bed.
The Podlings' Halloween treats ready for Halloween morning
Alex's Halloween gift was a sweet pumpkin romper with a matching hat and a cute chocolate lollipop.
I love these little honeycomb pumpkins. I put them everywhere!
I found an adorable vintage graphic of an owl sat on a Jack-O-Lantern (I love owls!) and used it to make a Halloween banner for the mantelpiece

Other possible reasons for procrastination are that the person dreads the task. They may not understand how much time the task will take. They may want to wait until the last minute, when the adrenaline gets flowing and be a hero and pull it out at the last second. Sometimes people procrastinate because they really feel the task is not really important or they don't understand the repercussions that might come from not doing the task. They may see a task as too large and overwhelming and have not been taught to break large tasks down into manageable bits. Many times they are just living in the now and want to do something else at this moment. It is also very likely that on their "to-do" list they have started with the wrong task. For example: if you need to do those taxes, the first task on your calendar might be do locate and check off all the supporting paperwork. If you sit down to do the taxes at the last minute and haven't done the first task, then it will be overwhelming and you will be up late and not working at your prime. Think of a task you have been putting off. Do any of the above possibilities fit your situation?

Ready for Action
While working on my presentation on Time Management for ADHD adults, I came across an ahaa moment while reading It's Hard To Make a Difference When You Can't Find Your Keys by Marilyn Paul. She talks about being organized as being a dynamic between a state of readiness for action and taking action. There is a rhythm of taking action, creating the natural disorder that comes with taking the action, restoring order and thus returning for readiness for action. Most people who have difficulty with organization leave out the step of restoring order. If paying bills- getting out the basket of bills, the ledger or computer, the checkbook, the stamps is getting ready for the action. Writing out the checks, putting them in the correct envelopes, stamping them, and entering the amounts is taking action. This causes a disorder in the space you are working. Now there is a basket, a checkbook, and other items that have been pulled out to do the task. Many people feel like the checks have now been paid so they stop- have lunch- do something else and do not get around to putting everything back away, which at this point would only take minutes and therefore do not restore order. Therefore order is not restored and clutter begins. Keep skipping this last step on most of your tasks and chaos reigns.

Mission Accomplished
Thursday, February 5, 2009
The Challenge
I want this closet to be well organized and easily assessable. I want to be able to pull out my drill without moving other items to get to it. I want to be able to look in my presentation files without bending over. I want my storage boxes to be labeled so that I don't have to open and look into the brown boxes to see what is in them. I have made a plan and have bought the shelving. This week will be the challenge of making my plan work. I know that the clothes must go elsewhere and I have a plan for that. This closet will just be for my business. Stay tuned for the next update

LG sees slump in sales of its G2 smartphone, blames the Nexus 5
LG's superstar G2 smartphone may be the current speed king, but it hasn't sold well for the South Korean company. According to DigiTimes' sources, it is because of the Nexus 5 that the G2 didn't sell too well.
LG manufactured the Nexus 5 for Google, which seems to have cannibalized its G2 sales, with DigiTimes' sources stating: "The release of the G2 was too close to the launch of the Nexus 5, which affected sales momentum of LG's own flagship model." The South Korean giant had expected to sell 10 million of its G2 smartphones, but only managed to sell just over two million units for the year.
I actually pointed this out in my review of the G2, where I said: "The Nexus 5 is one of the best specced devices on the market, at an absolute competitor-crushing price of just $349, and this in turn creates a huge problem for LG. Which phone do you buy? The utterly ridiculously priced Nexus 5? Or the G2, which is double the price?"

There are many things I love in life and a great white shirt is one of the things that sits at the top of my list. It is, in my opinion, a wardrobe essential that sits in your closet right next to that little black dress, a great blazer, and a killer pair of pumps. A great white shirt can take you may places without skipping a beat. It can take you from the boardroom, to an afternoon at the art gallery, then round the evening out at happy hour with the girls.
I used to be obsessed with white shirts and owned about 50. In the last few years my obsession has gotten better and I finally donated and gave most of them away, and I'm currently down to only 2. So you know what that means…time to go shopping (see how that worked out). The key things I look for in a white shirt:
- Quality Fabric – I tend to favor 100% Supima and Egyptian cotton for its luxurious and silkier hand.
- Construction – Depends on how I want to wear it – with jeans, under a suit jacket, with a tank underneath, over leggings, tied in the front, and so forth.
- Fun – I always look for something beyond the basic – does it have cool buttons, are they mixing up different textures, nothing is off-limits! My only requirement is that it's a white shirt and it makes me feel good.
With that being said, don't feel like you have to stick with a classic/basic white shirt; have some fun with it and make it FUNKY!
Clockwise starting at the top: 1. Annick (AnnFontaine.com) 2. Lafayette 148 3.Christie (AnnFontaine.com) 4. Ann Demeulemeester
Until soon…Toodles !
