my sister catherine is my favorite person right now. she came all the way from austin to help me get ready for the baby. she said she would do anything that i needed in the 3 days that she would be here.
you should've seen her whipping around my house- cleaning, making freezer meals for after jake is born, taking the kids to the movies, cooking dinner, painting, making cookies, going to the craft store, and just hanging out with me. it was so nice to have my sis around.
i can't believe i didn't get many pictures while she was here, but i did catch a few before and afters of the awesome paint job she did in my bedroom! (she had already painted one wall when i remembered to get the camera out, but you get the idea)
thanks so much catherine!

St George 'welcomed for skills'
St George would have been welcomed to Britain because of his skills as a dragon-slayer, Ukip's Patrick O'Flynn has joked.
The party's economic spokesman said he completely disagreed with the argument that, because St George was from what is now known as Turkey, the national day is irrelevant.
Asked whether he would have been welcomed by a 3rd-century Ukip as a skilled migrant, he replied: "Well, I guess dragon-slaying is a skill but whether it is one that's in short supply for the needs of the British economy, we will leave to our migration commission.
"Whenever the issue of St George's Day comes up - and I can predict this on Twitter today - there will be many left-centre people who will tweet the fact that St George was from what's today known as Turkey as if that is the start, finish of conversation and that makes St George's Day irrelevant or illegitimate or ridiculous.
"I completely disagree ... I'm not particularly hung up on where St George came from. I'm more interested in what St George's Day can represent."
Mr O'Flynn was also asked whether English people should be given priority access to public services over Scottish people who have moved south of the border.
He said: " Ukip believes in the UK. I don't think there is any distinction between the right of someone from Scotland and the right of someone from England to access public services."
On the wider immigration question, he said: "O ur approach to immigration begins with the priority of what's good for Britain and the British people."
The nation's first priority, he stressed, is to look after the British people.

These are among individuals grants or loans that are supplied by the majority of the government institutions towards the non-profit organization and people for various reasons. These grants or loans are completely different from the financial loans where there's necessity of paying back the cash acquired like a loan. For those who have once received the cash like a grant then you don't need to repay it towards the government institutions whatsoever. Because of reduced economic climate of the country, U.S. Government has managed to get possible for the people to avail these grants or loans without facing any type of trouble.

I think the unfortunate thing about caring about your job as more than just a job is exactly that: you care. You emotionally feel something for your idea or project that you are working on. When things change or don't go well, you feel that too.
To be honest, this social business hub thing is a pivot and this is tough. I enjoyed a refreshing moment of clarity going home last week and spending time with my parents. They ask questions like "when is a startup not a startup anymore?" and just recently understood my job thanks to a news piece they watched on Fox News about Charlie Sheen. Far outside of the Boston startup/social media echochamber that I live in, they loved me when I was a waitress and don't really care what I do when I grow up. I'm enough for them. I think a point of reference is important.
What is a pivot? I hear that word tossed around a lot and I wanted to make sure I was acurately diagnosing my experience. I researched a little and found this inspiring video. In this video, super angel Mike Maples outlines three different pivots he has advised and defines that pivots are not about product iteration, but business model. We're not adding a couple new features; we're re-drawing sales funnels, kids.
Yea, this is a pivot.
What does this feel like? I feel like the B2C, UberTwitter-loving Twitter App Store dumped me on prom night. And I loved that app store. It feels like a breakup. Like a Ben & Jerry's, vodka and chick flicks breakup. I feel like this:
You fall in love with your original idea. You sweat and toil and commit to it. You're quoted publically about it. You wear the t-shirt. You spend time away from other things, on the weekends holidays and nights, because you are working on this thing. Your passion for this idea re-prioritizes your life.
But then it's not getting traction, so you have to breakup and make a change. Quickly. I'm not even a founder but I'm…sad. It's the best way to describe it. (Don't get me wrong: I actually love what we're focusing on even more now. I just invested a lot into that original idea, and other people on my team who've been here longer even more so.)
I'm learning more about pivots. I found this post on Fred Wilson's blog about Hashable. Did you know they used to be a company called Tracked? If you scroll down to their CMO's fantastic comment, you can learn a little more about their process. It sounds like they considered simply focusing on a few good features of Tracked (iterating) but they ultimately chose to completely relaunch as a new site with mobile applications, Hashable. They pivoted.
They focused on finding product/market fit during the concept, alpha and beta stages and then once they had more confidence in their product, began to build buzz. (Although, they were never in "stealth mode.") Will they be successful? It's an interesting concept to me, almost like a "CRM for Twitter" in my mind and people seemed to be warming up to it at SXSW. And they have evangelists already. I know how tough it is to build community. I give them huge credit for that.
What I really give them credit for is making the big pivot. The big switch. Digging through research for this blog post I found a ton of Slideshare presentations on "pivot case studies" that to me weren't about true pivots. They were about product iteration – which is important! I subscribe to the lean startups ideology and think you should iterate and iterate and iterate based on customer feedback until you find that thing that sticks. It's about perfecting and not perfection. But what I'm wondering is this: How many startups out there are iterating too much? How much time are we wasting iterating on a concept that isn't getting traction, when you should really make the big jump and target your business model?
I'm talking about mothballing that site you built while you missed your kid's soccer game and moving onto something else. I'm talking about alienating half of a community you built because they aren't in your target audience anymore. This is a difficult but necessary choice. I wonder if some startups don't do this early enough and are left to wonder about the business model that got away.
This is my first startup and like I said, I'm not a founder. I just wish the Twitter App Store and I broke up at homecoming so I could take another business model to prom.
4 Comments on Are We Iterating When We Should Be Pivoting?
Wow, Janet, what a post. I feel of being able to perfectly relate to your words since I am involved in my first startup too. What is interesting is that we have been iterating all along so far, because we received very good responses from our users. So we wanted to make a product better that people already liked. Even so, I am tempted to pivot and make changes in a whole new direction.
Oh and many thanks for your clarification too, I always got confused with "pivoting" and "iterating", you couldn't have made it clearer in your post.
As for your point about building a community and following to be the hardest but the most important – again, this is exactly my thinking and I am working hard on it every day. The best part? I love doing it :).
Hope to read more here soon Janet, you have a brilliant writing style. Let me Buffer this post :).
Thanks for reading! Yea… You're in a challenging environment. I had coffee with another entrepreneur building a social media monitoring tool and it's tough to find product/market fit and figure out what people will pay for. PLUS what's tough is doing customer development because you need talk to people who know what they are talking about so they can give you good feedback about the pain points they have and the features that are worth building. When it comes to social media, honestly tons of people even with "social media jobs" don't know what they are doing so they don't know what they want in a tool so they don't know what to tell ya 😉 It's a challenging environment but that said, it's the one to be in. This is our 1999.
Dear Janet, your post is awesome. You should teach entrepreneurs. I am one for 16 years now, founder of 5 companies already and currently working on a social media project for the U.S. retail industry. Allow me one amendment: In social media, the industry entrant fee is still low – in contrary to pharmaceutical or automotive industry for example. At the same time, social media is changing and developing very quickly, so product life-cycle is short. Ideas can be brought to fruition with very low costs, yet with huge risk of being neglected soon.This means, early stage pivoting makes sense but later on, iteration is a better choice. You got 20.000 users in 5 years but you estimated 2 million? Forget being a Forbes company then. Keep your users and make profit. If you haven't earned profitability in five years, you already missed the chance to pivot because you lose too much money. Iterate and don't let your users away, rather chose the hard work method and keep on working in hope of a lucky exit. However early stage pivoting is a powerful tool to show the crowd your chameleon abilities. And the most important question: how can someone know wether the instinct of making robust changes is a well-timed pivot or just the loss of faith in your idea? Well, to decide it, you'll need the real entrepreneurs' sixth sense for that. 🙂
I'm looking forward to your further posts, Janet.
Wow thank you for such a nice comment. I love startups… 🙂 Thanks for explaining the early stage pivot vs. iteration thing to me. I'm still learning all this stuff as I go along.

You will find a large selection of sashimi and sushi here at Tenya which specializes in toro (tuna fish). Tuna is often called "the diamond of Ocean" but it can be good or bad due to the way it's been caught and handled afterward. At Tenya, it's always the freshest catch due to their supply line straight from Tsukiji market in Tokyo. Tenya built its own special refrigerator for imported containers in Orient International Seafood Market where tuna can be maintained fresh at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius below zero. Sashimi style is highly recommended, including O-toro (the fattiest part of tuna), priced at 98 yuan, Chu-toro (well-balanced consistency of both lean and fatty) at 98 yuan and Toro-shio (toro marinated with Japanese sea salt and fresh lemon juice) at 78 yuan. Toro sushi and hand roll cost from 38 yuan to 68 yuan. Japanese-style hotpot and shabu-shabu styles are also popular, such as King Taraba crab pot (138 yuan) and Maguro toro shabu-shabu (138 yuan). For dinner, sets priced at 280 yuan and 380 yuan are good options as both include sashimi, hotpot, noodle or rice porridge and dessert. Of course, one would expect sake to be the natural accompaniment to raw fish. Choose Azure (cold sake) (420 yuan/720milliliters) or Tosatsuru (hot sake) (110 yuan/300milliliters).

What causes a miscarriage?This issue does not get tired of asking myself all the women who have experienced spontaneous abortion, which always becomes a stressful and traumatic event.
If you ask a specialist issue, on what terms is miscarriage, he is likely to tell you that the highest percentage of miscarriages occur in the first trimester of pregnancy, but there are recent interruption.Late - a rare phenomenon that has its reasons.Usually such abortions account for only 1% of the total, according to medical statistics.
From what happens miscarriage
reasons why miscarriage might be, there are so many.Very high risk of abortion affects women, leading an unhealthy lifestyle.Smoking, alcohol, drug use, unhealthy diet, as well as many other bad habits often lead to involuntary termination of pregnancy.
Sometimes the body reacts miscarriage adverse environmental conditions.Examples of such factors - poor environmental conditions, constant stress and problems, chronic fatigue.A very emotional and
age factor also increases the risk of interruption.According to statistics, late pregnancy is twice as likely to end in miscarriage than younger age.Especially dangerous is the situation for women over forty who transferred abortions previously.
considered the most common cause of genetic abnormalities of the fetus.In this case, an abortion can be compared to natural selection.Nature simply rejects the body, which will not be able to live and function in the environment.
More than ninety percent of all miscarriages occur in the early stages to twelve weeks.Most of them just happen because of congenital chromosomal abnormalities incompatible with normal life.Causes of miscarriage should be examined individually, because chromosomal abnormalities are due to various factors.This may be a random failure of fetal development, and may be a natural consequence of air pollution or bad habits of parents, from whom they are not disposed of at the time of pregnancy.
If the expectant mother during pregnancy, drinking some drugs, the risk of miscarriage increases again.Especially dangerous without medical advice to drink any herbs.They mistakenly considered safe, but in fact illiterate use of herbal medicines can seriously harm the health of unborn baby.It is very dangerous to drink during pregnancy strong antibiotics.In some cases, you can not do without it, so the doctor is calculated risks, but it is much better if the expectant mother will not abuse such drugs during pregnancy.
The risk of miscarriage increases the presence of infectious diseases of the sexual sphere.The infection damages the mucous membrane of the uterus and vagina, skin damages the fetus, interfering with the natural course of pregnancy.If a woman has a chronic disease, the time of their pregnancy should be possible to cure.
Causes of miscarriage in early pregnancy may also lie in the fact that a pregnant woman is not enough took care of itself.Accidental falls, blows, carrying heavy objects, heavy physical work - all of which can lead to miscarriage.
Late abortions, as opposed to the earlier to occur rarely.
reasons for late abortion in most cases are associated with some acute inflammatory processes, the flow of the pregnancy.Probably and excessive nervous stress expectant mother.In this case, the risk of genetic abnormalities in the fetus there is little, because the unsustainable nature of the material, "rejects" in the first trimester.If an interrupt occurs in the last months of pregnancy, the baby can be saved, causing artificial birth.These children are considered premature.Their development and growth in the remainder of the children are in the incubator.
Modern medicine allows you to nurse even highly premature babies, so abortion in the later stages can be completed successful birth of a healthy baby.
is important to be very careful with regard to their health in later periods of pregnancy.If there will be a sudden interruption, you must call the emergency care immediately, since it is only a quick hospitalization help woman to keep the child.The most visible signs of incipient miscarriage - a sharp pain in the abdomen, bleeding and brown discharge, pain, presence of secretions in the seized tissue.Any symptoms that differ from normal and customary, should alert you and become a reason for immediate treatment to the doctor.

Whether it's stealing fish from coastal communities, misreporting catch, or operating in waters where they're not supposed to be, many big tuna companies are violating laws and breaching international agreements.
Some are engaged in illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fisheries, or "pirate fishing". Their operations are part of a multi-billion dollar global fisheries rip-off that's leaving coastal communities and legitimate fishing businesses out of pocket, and our oceans out of fish.
Often, their ships re-fuel, re-supply and transfer fish to other boats at sea, thus avoiding port inspectors.
Mostly they target places that have little political or financial power to fight back. From the Pacific to West Africa, the companies sail in, fish the tuna out, and sell it on for millions of dollars. This is income and resources local coastal communities deserve a share in.
Instead they're cut out of the process and sometimes can't even fish their own waters because local ecosystems have been destroyed.
Bycatch is another huge problem with pirate fishing. Because these companies operate (quite literally, in some cases) off the radar, they can get away with using fishing techniques that destroy ocean life. You couldn't meet a group of people who care less about the long-term fate of tuna.
Find out how you can avoid illegally caught tuna using our handy tuna-buying guides.

I actually like the Old Cordi more.
The new Cordi gunship looks beautiful. And the Challenger looks far more better. That ship on the pic, is that a Zy?
Only the gunship has been changed, because it was just an upscaled soldier mesh with turrets strapped to it before.
That ship on the pic, is that a Zy?
It has a ring. Who likes rings?
Now I dont know about the artistic value of WoD (I'm just aiming for fun )*snip*
I too like the new gunship. Will we see a patch for WoD1?

Commodity Corner: Oil Edges Lower on Govt Data
Oil futures reversed yesterday's upward move on government reports indicating a rise in oil stockpiles.
Light, sweet crude ended a four-day winning streak Wednesday, settling 9 cents lower at $88.81 a barrel. Meanwhile, its European counterpart gained 83 cents to settle at $114.85 a barrel.
The U.S. Department of Energy reported an increase in oil inventories by 5.3 million barrels and a 2.8 million barrel drop in gasoline stockpiles. The build in oil inventories was outweighed by the draw in gasoline stockpiles, stifling the drop in crude prices.
In a choppy trading session, crude traded within a range of $87.67 to $89.54 while Brent crude fluctuated between $113.68 and $115.14.
Traders remain wary of Tropical Storm Katia, located in the Caribbean Sea. The National Hurricane Center said Katia has a 30 percent chance of becoming a hurricane later Wednesday.
Front-month natural gas passed the $4 mark for the first time Wednesday since Aug. 15. Natural gas advanced 14.5 cents to end the trading session at $4.05 per thousand cubic feet. Prices received a boost Wednesday as the Destin Pipeline, a major pipeline that transports gas from offshore wells in the Gulf of Mexico to processing facilities in Mississippi, was shut down. Owner BP did not say how long the pipeline would remain offline.
September gasoline gained 4 cents, or 1.2 percent, settling at $3.03 a gallon at expiration. The intraday range for gasoline prices was $3.002 to $3.057.

Abstract : Commissioned by the Royal Netherlands Army, a study has been carried out into the management of the cycle of repairable spare parts. A general control model for the cycle has been made including performance indicators. Besides that a framework has been developed for determining order levels and quantities on economical grounds. A comparison is made with currently used stock rules, by means of a simulation model. Also the effects of the repair process driven by either supply or demand and the dealing with war safety stocks are inquired in simulations. Several other issues are analysed, partly with the use of spreadsheet models.

Wow, that was a pretty quick update, huh? Go me.
Chapter 8 – Sue Bashing
AUTHOR: I just hate all these f-cking SUES. Everyone is such a f-cking n00b and they don't know sh-t about YuGiOh. They're just destroying CANNON! F-ck them all!
READERS: Well if these stories piss you off so much, why don't you just oh, I don't know, NOT READ THEM? Seriously, which is more pathetic? Writing badly written fanfics, or writing badly written attempts at bashing badly written fanfics?
- The READERS are ignored. Who cares what they want anyway? The whole point of FANFICTION is self-indulgence.
AUTHOR: Cause these people are like so f-ing stupid, and they don't even know it.
- She continues like this for several paragraphs.
AUTHOR: Well I'll show em! I'll show em all!!!! Muhahahahahahaha!!!
- And so it begins.
- It is a SUNNY day in DOMINO CITY. OMG isn't this just so f-ing cliché?
- The gang are in SCHOOL. LOL.
- Suddenly, a transfer student arrives. OMG it's a SUE, LOL, aren't you so f-cking surprised?
- The SUE'S name is LETTITIARAINBOWSUNSHINEGLORYSPARKLEPANTS KAIBAMUTOBAKURAWHEELER-CHAN. Cause SUE'S always have like really long names and they're like crap and shit. But I'm lazy as hell so even though I've made up this stupid name, I'm not going to use it. I'll call her DEREK. LOL.
- DEREK is like uber-pretty and her hair is so f-cking long that it touches the floor and shit. Basically, go back to the ROMANCE chapter and read the description I wrote then. Only add f-ck every few words.
DEREK: KAWAI YUUGI CHAAN!!!!!!!!! F-CK me right here, right now, in this classroom.
- We are impressed by the AUTHOR'S wit. We all hate SUES, and so it is logical that DEREK is a slut.
- Everyone is entranced by DEREK, and all the bishies like love her and shit.
YUGI: I love her.
YAMI: Me too.
KAIBA: Yeah.
BAKURA: Totally.
JOEY: Her hair smells like RED FRUIT LOOPS. Nope, no product placement here. And I'm not ripping of the Simpsons. No Sir.
MARIK: What the hell am I even doing here?
- We hate DEREK for character raping our beloved gang, and hope she dies PAINFULLY.
- Suddenly, another girl entered the classroom. She's kind of plain, but in a really HAWT way. She wears like a pair of grubby combat pants, and a plain top, and it's sort of low cut, but not in a slutty way or anything. Her hair's brown and not all shiny and shit.
MYSTERIOUS GIRL WHO IS NO DOUBT THE AUTHOR: I am the AUTHOR!
READERS WITH MORE THAN ONE BRAIN CELL: You are? No shit, Sherlock.
MYSTERIOUS GIRL WHO HAS NOW BEEN REVEALED AS THE AUTHOR: This evil SUE has escaped into your world. I'm far too kewl to actually write a SUE myself. No, she was like in a story written by my RETARDED COUSIN, and she escaped into my story and now we have to stop her.
- The AUTHOR'S powers break the spell the SUE has put on everyone. But only temporarily. Cause the AUTHOR is still a realistic and likeable character. She's not a SUE. Nuh-uh.
KAIBA: So…you're telling me that our entire existence stems from the imagination of some moron with a keyboard? We aren't real people, just bits and bytes on some twat's computer's hard drive? We have no free will, we are merely subject to your capricious whims?
AUTHOR: Yup.
KAIBA: Huh. Whatever.
YUGI: I have an overwhelming desire to trust this girl and do whatever she says.
YAMI: Yeah. Me too.
AUTHOR: The only way to defeat the SUE is to fl4m3 her so badly she'll never write again.
JOEY: Ok. Hey, DEREK, YOU SUCK!!!!
DEREK: Nooooo! Criticism! My one weakness! Alas for I am undone!!!
BAKURA: Well that was anticlimactic.
- But DEREK has the 8th MILLENNIUM ITEM, the MILLENNIUM RUBBER CHICKEN OF DOOM. She owns everyone with her amazing powers of OCness. She throws the author across the room, and then drops a piano on her.
AUTHOR: Arrgh. I was defeated. See how unSUElike I am?
- Now nothing stands between the SUE and marriage to the bishie of her choice.
DEREK: But which one? They're all so pretty…
YAMI: Haha! We can escape whilst she tries to decide!
DEREK: Hell with it! I'll marry em all! My OC powers can overcome a small thing like the illegality of POLYGAMY!
- We hate and despise the EVIL SUE for stealing the pretty boys. How can it end this way!?
AUTHOR: No! I can't let you do that! I will lay down my life to defeat this threat to CANNON!!!
- She gathers all her power to rip the SUE from the FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE!!!
AUTHOR: You are poorly written and grammatically incorrect! No one reads your stories, and just reading "OCXanyone" in a summary is enough to make anyone skip your story.
- DEREK dies a PAINFUL and HUMILIATING death, but since she's a SUE and even more despised than TEA (Yes, I know, EVEN more despised that TEA. I'll let that sink in for a minute), everyone rejoices.
- Fortunately, the AUTHOR survives the battle. We are relieved, for in the short time we've known her, we have grown to love her for her well rounded and realistic personality. Her clothes are slightly dirty! See the character depth!
AUTHOR: Thank God! We defeated her and saved CANNON! Now everything is how it should be! But alas, I am now trapped in your world. Oh well. I shall be forced to make a life for myself here, and possibly marry one of you. But just one. I'm not greedy.
KAIBA: But don't you see…? You have become the very thing you sought to destroy. You have become…A SUE!
- The AUTHOR is fl4m3d to death, and the READERS rejoice.
See this started out as a parody parody, but half way though I realised that it was turning into something else. I promise I will do a parody parody soon. Honest. Though God knows how.

The day in music as told by tweets. A birthday wish is not official until it has been cemented on a social medium. Louis Tomlinson knows this. Niall Horin knows this. Even Olly Murs knows this. As of the time of this post (and, trust me, we'll be obsessively refreshing their feeds), Liam Payne's 19th birthday has received zero tweet-love from band mates Harry Styles and Zayn Malik. Gauche.
In other news, Justin Bieber and his cohorts are coyly tweeting about an ambiguous #IDEA they concocted last night. Again, we'll be obsessively refreshing their feeds for answers. It's what we do.

Mitt Romney ripped over 'pink slip' remark
Credit: Kelvin Ma
EXETER, N.H. — Multimillionaire Mitt Romney, still trying to strike up a common-man connection with primary voters, came under fire yesterday for claiming he knows what it's like to worry about getting a "pink slip."
Romney, a wealthy venture capitalist who has refused to release his tax returns while running for president, said during a rally yesterday, "I know what it's like to worry whether you're going to get fired. There were a couple of times I wondered if I was going to get a pink slip."
Pundits and political opponents' eyes began rolling immediately.
"There's a difference between getting fired and having millions of dollars in the bank and getting fired and not having any money to rely on," said Jerry Delemus, a Republican voter from New Hampshire who heads the Liberty PAC, a Tea Party-inspired political action committee, who is backing Rick Santorum. "He couldn't be further disconnected from us."
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul had no specific dates or jobs to back Romney's claims, but said his "pink slip" fears occurred "while he worked his way up the career ladder."
University of New Hampshire political science professor Andy Smith said Romney will always have trouble trying to run as a regular guy: "He's trying to identify with regular folks, but he's seen as somebody who's wealthy."
The former Bay State governor, dubbed a "career politician" by his rivals, also sought to play down his long-held presidential ambitions at a rally yesterday at Exeter High School. "I never imagined I'd get a chance to run for president," said Romney, whose father was governor of Michigan and a 1968 GOP presidential candidate.
At the same rally, Romney faced Occupy protesters who chanted "Mitt kills jobs." New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, here to stump for Romney, told one protester that "if she wasn't so blinded by her Barack Obama-induced anger, she'd know that American jobs are coming back when Mitt Romney is president."

I know that he used to have something of one in the 90's series, but what exactly happened to them? Black Tom and the Juggernaut were big enemies back in the day during his mini-series. Obviously the Juggernaut was an X-Man for a while, but has Deadpool encountered Black Tom ever since the mini? What about Typhoid Mary? Ajax? Did he have any other real stand out villains? Did Daniel Way, etc, create any real new ones? Thanks for the help.

'An Adventure in the Horizontal' is a new building on ETH Zurich's Honggerberg campus.
Built to maximize the space in the small campus on the outskirts of Zurich, Switzerland, the building's architects, Zurich-based Zust Gubeli Gambetti, were faced with a difficult problem. The site for the new building had to be on a rolling hillside, as flattening the hill would be too expensive. The firm's solution, as exemplified by An Adventure in the Horizontal, was the same solution that people have had for hills over thousands of years: stairs.
An Adventure in the Hoizontal is itself shaped like a staircase, allowing it to rise with the incline of the hillside. The building contains 155 rooms for offices, seminars, and lectures across four floors.

text: Just went to Vox, the new Latino-Fusion place on 8th Ave between 18 and 19th Streets, and had a marvelous meal. Had excellent oysters to start, then macadamic-crusted mahi mahi with carmelized pineapple and some dark sauce with succulent, crunchy rings of octopus. Bread was excellent, lighting perfect, and the main courses were very reasonable -- from around $13 or $14 to about $18 or so. The mandarin orange sorbet was also excellent, really excellent. My friend loved his coriander-crusted tuna, which I should have paid more attention to except that I was so taken with my delicious, colorful dish than I saw nothing else.

EE has ramped up its 4G operations by switching on its ultrafast network in 12 more towns.
4G goes live in Antrim, Coleraine and Newtownabbey in Northern Ireland, Bridgend and Pontypool in Wales, Livingstone in Scotland and Burnley, Leigh, Macclesfield, Nuneaton, Sittingbourne and Tamworth in England today (28 March). There are now 187 towns across the UK with the service.
Key routes between Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Cardiff and Swansea are also being upgraded to 4G. Earlier this week the operator announced new entry-level 4G tariffs and a new £99 4G smartphone, the Kestrel.
EE CEO Olaf Swantee (pictured) said: 'Our 4G rollout is continuing at an industry-leading pace, reaching more and more people in places right across the UK. We're connecting major towns to make sure that consumers, commuters and businesses have 4G where they live and where they work. As well as expanding our 4G network into new areas, our teams are switching on new 4G sites in our existing 4G cities and towns to make the EE network experience even better.'

unusual? For me it's Deut:22, 6-7. Especially verse 7? Wonder what it means? Any takers?
sort by best latest
Not unusual, just served with interest to learn. To answer up on the 7th verse the interpretation I have is that the mother is the provider to the young. The young are to be the provisions for man to live. The mother is the perpetuator to the species therefore need to be left alone to continue on .
Now for me I find Deut. 6:4-5 of interest with verse 4 as the outstanding verse of them.
I think we all should see it as a call of celebration to our maker the God that is one.
Thanks for the question Carol.

Shepherd's Wool Fine and Ella Rae Lace
Expand Messages
- Hello, I have 8 skeins of Shepherd's Wool Fine (Stonehedge Fiber Mill) in the shade Lakeshore. There is a picture in the yarn section of Ravelry under the stash portion. This is a fingering weight, 100% merino, 230 yards per skein. Two of the skeins are wound and it looks like I may have used a small portion of one, since ripped, and a mini swatch is attached to the other wound skein. The price has been reduced accordingly. 28 dollars for all, shipping not included.
I also have 3 skeins of Ella Rae Lace Merino in the shade 101. A picture may be seen in the yarn section of Ravelry. It's the second picture down to the left of the main description. Two of the skeins are the same dye lot and one of these is wound. The third skein is unwound and of a different dye lot. 10 dollars per skein, shipping not included. Thanks, Laura Jones, KS

Sadly, we looked at the news and saw there was an attack in London just two days ago. Once again people have lost their lives and many others were injured. Families and friends have lost their loved ones. Our feelings of safety and security have been shaken yet again.
Feelings of confusion, anger or helplessness can overwhelm us. We ask – what does it all really mean? What can we do? I sit here and ask myself the same questions. And every time I hear the same answer – Pray. See a world that is returned to Love. See that reality even when it's not obvious.
I have to admit that part of me says it doesn't seem like enough. But it is a lot. And at this time it benefits every single one of us to sit and hold the people of London in love and prayer. As everyone around the globe prays in his or her own way, we are strengthened by the energy that is shared among us.
We give it freely with the intention of healing and comfort. As a result, they know they're not alone. And in doing so, you and I remember that we are not alone either.
Look around and see all the people you know and love, notice all the people that pass by you in a day. This is the most intimate version of your world. And this is where you put Love into action. As each of us embraces Love as a practice we will watch the world shift before our very eyes.

JOHNS CREEK -- Eleven-year-old Autrey Mill Middle School student Adam Puckett earned the Boy Scout Medal of Merit for assisting his father after he fell down a hill and broke his arm.
According to the official account of the event from the Boy Scouts of America, Adam Puckett accompanied his father, Reid Puckett, and siblings Marie, Carter and Sam to the Toccoa River for some fishing. While climbing down a gravel embankment wearing sandals, Reid Puckett fell and landed on his left arm. His son used his Scout skills to deal with the situation. He sent the panicking Carter Puckett back to the car to wait for him, then retrieved his father's cell phone to inform his mother, Lisa, about what happened.
Due to the location, it would take a long time for an ambulance to arrive. Adam helped his father back up the hill, so he could return to the family cabin. Once they began driving, Adam Puckett assisted his father, who was in such pain he could barely see the road. He told his father about turns and potholes (which caused Reid excruciating pain). They made it to the seven-tenths of a mile back to the cabin, and Lisa Puckett drove everyone to the Fannin Regional Hospital.
Reid Puckett ultimately required the installation of two steel plates, 15 screws and many steel pins to repair his fractured humerus (upper arm). He credits his son with keeping a bad situation from turning into a disaster. Adam Puckett was able to calm his younger siblings, maintain order, seek help and move his injured father (who greatly outweighed him) to safety. He assisted Reid Puckett in driving to the cabin so his mother could take over. Even at the hospital, the Boy Scout kept track of his younger siblings so his mother could assist his father.
It is for all this that the Milton District Heroism Review Committee unanimously recommended Adam Puckett receive the Medal of Merit. He officially received the medal and knot on Feb. 5 at the Milton District Boy Scouts of America Banquet, which was held at St. David's Episcopal Church.

Copied straight from MS:
Make sure that the AutoPlay feature is enabled in the registry:
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type regedit, and then click OK.
In Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\CDRom
In the right pane, go to step g if the value for Autorun is 1.
If the value for Autorun is 0, right-click Autorun, and then click Modify.
In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type 1 under Value data, and then click OK.
A value of 0xb
Or just hold down the shift key when you put the disc in and the autorun won't install their mediamax trash to begin with.
Or do what I do. Just get TweakUI and prevent autorun for CDs to begin with. It is quite useful when you don't want your new game or whatever to autorun its installer when you put the disc in.
As a Mac user, let me just say that my "virus immune" platform has already been bitten by this. One of the few pieces of malware in the wild that was Mac-compatible was exploiting the equivalent functionality on the platform; it was known as the Autostart Worm. It was an embarassment for Apple and some publishing houses, and eventally showed up on some shipping commercial CDs. Since then, Mac users have disabled the functionality using the QuickTime control panel/system pref pane.
Now there is a report proving it doesn't work
No doubt written with a Sharpie pen.
Words change meaning when you translate from English to Marketing.
No audio CD should be installing *ANYTHING* on my PC, unless I'm aware of it at first.
I've lived without buying a CD for over 6 months now. My boycott of the RIAA has been going good, particularly as I feel more and more that CDs are a ripoff compared to DVDs.
From the article:
Windows users who haven't disabled autorun can suspend it when they play a SunnComm-protected disc by holding down the shift key for a few seconds while inserting the CD. They can then copy the data normally.
All it deters is the average joe ripping it to their hard drive. (Which by the way is legal). Anyone willing to download it from kazaa, probably will anyway. Thus whether or not they could rip it themselves, seem moot.
Not to mention really fucking annoying.
P2P. He asks his friends, they set him up with a client. He has some respect for copyright, but his practical interest takes over, and he grabs the album off P2P. But now he has a client installed, so he's only three clicks and a sacrifice of morals (against a company that just screwed him) away from further downloading.
The moral of the story? DRM limitations fuel P2P. This story depends on a portable player that doesn't do WMA, but there are many other inconveniences. What if he doesn't use Windows or Mac (that's me)? What if he's an audiophile who can hear the difference between WMA and FLAC?
Besides, the article says you can burn the tracks a limited number of times. That's right, without any circumvention at all, the DRM is totally ineffective! I haven't checked, but I'm willing to bet the music is all over the P2P networks. DRM is completely worthless: if there were any competition (there isn't), the idea would have died years ago.
Show of hands: How many of you were so pissed off by this that your first thought was "I'm going to immediately RIP this CD and share it with the world!" Could it be possible that BMG's strategy may backfire, and make the tracks even more widely available?
Slowly and surely the unix crept up on the Nintendo user ...

SHE found fame on The Only Way Is Essex before trying modelling, and now Amy Childs is making her mark in the fashion world.
The 23-year-old has brought her brand of Essex glamour to the high street with her own clothing line at Dorothy Perkins. We caught up with the entrepreneur to talk fashion, beauty and nosh.
How was it, launching in Dorothy Perkins?
It was amazing. I've worked so hard for years and it's just incredible to see my clothes in Dorothy Perkins. I got quite emotional at the launch.
How do you dress to suit your body shape?
I know exactly what works on my frame. Fitted dresses that end just below the knee are brilliant but I have to avoid blouses – with my big boobs, they look terrible.
Where do you shop?
Topshop, H&M, New Look, and I bought loads in Zara recently – they've got beautiful pieces this summer. I love to put on a fab pair of heels from Asos.
When it comes to designer, you can't beat Victoria Beckham. I love her stuff.
Who is your style icon?
Abbey Clancy is incredible. I saw a picture of her in a white suit recently and she looked amazing. Victoria Beckham always looks classy, and I like Coleen Rooney's style too.
Any fashion regrets?
Oh my God, yes. Quite a few. The best, or worst, has to be an awful pink dress that I wore to the Legally Blonde premiere in 2010. Urgh, I looked like a Barbie doll and it was covered in these big flowers.
Do you stick to a diet?
Monday to Friday, I will have porridge for breakfast then snack on nuts before having a chicken salad at lunch and pasta or something similar for dinner.
At weekends, I'm not so good and will treat myself to wine and takeaways.
Do you have treats? What's your biggest downfall?
I love pizza. I've been really good recently and haven't had any for at least two weeks but, soon enough, I'll give in and eat so much I'll feel sick. Oh well, you only live once.
What's the most you've ever weighed and the least?
I don't weigh myself, so I really don't know. I'm a size 8 or 10 at the moment and I'm happy.
What's your favourite/least favourite body part?
I really like my arms, as they're looking trim. I don't like my belly, though. It's the hardest thing to tone up and I'm struggling there.
What's your quick fix for a red carpet event?
I'll go on a detox, avoiding carbs and drinking plenty of water. I'll eat loads of fruit and vegetables to get myself looking my best. A spray tan helps – I always look skinnier when I'm tanned.
And I'll have a facial and get my hair, make-up and nails done, too.
Your exercise regime?
I train hard Monday to Friday. I'll do weights and cardio in the gym most mornings and do a spinning class, too.
I've tried boot camps in the past – that's where I met my personal trainer Paul. He's tough but brilliant.
What beauty products can't you live without?
YSL mascara, Mac Foundation lip gloss, Liz Earle cleansing polish, it goes on and on. I love Decleor too. I regularly get Crystal Clear facials.
Ever have a day make-up free?
Yes, every Monday. I scrub off my fake tan and do a full body exfoliate, too.
What's next?
I'm going to keep working on my brand. And there are a few TV bits coming up so watch this space.

Investment is very much needed at early stages of a startup, here we are going to explore the ways to build a startup or product without investment. You have an idea and passions to create a startup based on your idea of products or services and convert it into a business, but you don't know where to start from as you have assumed that you need money to start.
This is most common problem for the young entrepreneurs, startups and individuals or teams with great workable and innovative ideas. We are trying to provide a list of ways, which might be helpful for you to get things done at early stages of your product creation.
Work on Paper:
It is very wise to work on paper before starting actual development of your product, it will provide you a better vision and enable you to plan a successful and optimized execution. Working on paper is also important as it can lead you to a funding, if you prepare a good documentation of your idea and present it in different events, meetups and competitions, it will definitely catch up some attention and you will get some friction about your idea/product or project even before starting it.
Make a Business Plan:
Business Plan is always important, and it can grab attention of your customers, buyers and investors without starting any developmental activities. There are many places and events globally where you can present your business plan but success can be guaranteed only in one case, your plan should be well prepared with relevant research and supporting numbers. If you have a well written business plan with all the necessary ingredients, you will definitely get attention off interested people or investors.
Get Incubated
We have plenty of incubators around, offering services and stipend to people with ideas, innovative mind set and prototypes. Get to your nearest incubator or find one in your University (as many universities are housing incubation facilities inside the campuses). You will get space to work, stipend to manage your activities, free mentorship and access to prospective market for your idea/product or services business.
Make Partners/co-founders
One of the successful strategy to get your project done or product developed in case of no investment is to make partners or co-founders. In case you need support to market your product or services, its wise to involve someone with marketing background and offer them some share from your income. Similarly if you need technical help or development support, you might find a person or people who have a relevant background, it will give you advantage of no or less cost of development and ease of mind to move further into other steps of your business.
One of the best and proven methods is to start from. Bootstrapping usually refers to the starting of a self-sustaining process that is supposed to proceed without external input. That means you have to plan the work in a way you can do it with your own available resources and finances, i.e. your own laptop or pc for development, your pocket money or savings as initial finance and your room or garage as your 1st office. It will give you freedom of working without any limitations or binding. Even you will remain free from the pressure of external bodies or people, which can destruct your attention from your product development or project in case you have been using their resources.

Bailout Could Accelerate Bankruptcies: Experts
Under the plan, proposed earlier this month by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson, the U.S. government would buy distressed assets from America's foundering financial institutions.

When a law firm produces a biannual guide to its publications, two things are clear: it must bring out a reasonable number of publications, and it must take them seriously. So it is with Clifford Chance.
The partnership sees publishing as an important business service for its clients and as a marketing tool. To this end, its City of London office has an in-house publications unit which works with the firm's lawyers and marketing team and the external designers and printers.
Clifford Chance produces a wide array of publications which fall into five broad categories: information about the firm, European issues, memoranda, technical documents and newsletters.
Memoranda are produced in response to changes in legislation and have a short shelf life. Technical publications are more substantial, dealing in detail with long term issues.
European publications focus heavily on EU matters and generally feature input from Clifford Chance lawyers in offices across the continent.
Over l00 publications are currently available from the firm. Does this mean it treats publishing as a communications panacea and is indiscriminate in what it produces? Head of marketing, Robert Pay, says not.
"For every publication that sees the light of day there are four that are stillborn," says Pay. "There has to be a commercial rationale to bring out a publication. There are too many bad publications by law firms."
Often the need for a specific publication becomes apparent when a practice area or group is drawing up its marketing plan. On other occasions the idea for a publication is raised by a lawyer in response to a particular event or opportunity.
Irrespective of the idea's origin, the firm must first decide whether a publication is the most appropriate way to proceed. Frequently, says Pay, it can be more effective for a lawyer to write a feature or organise a seminar than to start work on a new publication.
If a publication is the best way forward, the marketing team will meet with the relevant practice group to hammer out the basic criteria – a clear definition of the target market, the level of understanding it should be pitched at, the tone of voice to adopt, and whether it should be a one-off or periodical.
Practising lawyers write and edit the great majority of titles. But in the case of newsletters, such as the European Financial Services newsletter which is published 10 times a year and has a targeted circulation of 3,500, there is a dedicated in-house editor, Charmaine Cole.
"I select a variety of topics and draw up a list which I present to our editorial board (of partners and lawyers)," says Cole. "They then discuss who should write about what and which angle to take."
Clifford Chance makes regular use of design consultancy Atkinson Duckett. Part of the brief is to ensure that there is a recognisable corporate style running across the publications. "Many of our clients receive more than one piece of literature from us, so it is important that they all look like they are from the same stable," says Pay.
To make doubly sure that the publishing process runs smoothly, Clifford Chance has an in-house production manager who is the main point of contact between the law firm and its design consultancy and printer.
Robert Gray is a freelance journalist.

District profiles are part of ECSECCs flagship publications. District profiles contain key development trends and indicators for metropolitan, district and local municipalities. Each wave of the ECSECC profiles have evolved into more detailed and focussed assessments of Socio-economic development realities in the Eastern Cape.

You can also see registrations for ClearViewHwy, the new font for highway signs, plus if you search USPTO you'll find a trademark application filed in 2003 for the name of the font.
