The rewards of such a reclassification are obvious. IT stocks tend to be much more highly valued than electricals and electronics, the now unglamorous sector classification GEC presently inhabits. Such a reclassification alone would get Lord Simpson most of the way towards his goal of a doubled market capitalisation within five years.
The problem is that much as GEC would like to think of itself as now a fully fledged telecommunications and Internet stock, it is very much in the low growth areas of these markets. GEC still - er - makes things. True, if all goes according to plan, it will soon be out of defence electronics. Nor will its making of things be confined to Hotpoint washing and Averys weighing machines. GEC's famous cash mountain has been used to buy into some of the world's highest tech manufacturers in the world of telecommunications and internet access.
But in the end, these acquisitions are still in the business of manufacturing, and while their growth prospects may be a good deal better than those of traditional manufacturers, they are not nearly as good as the service providers they supply.
The second rather misjudged aspiration is that of doubling the company's market value over five years. In itself this is a completely meaningless goal, as well as being a potentially misleading one. Crucially it depends on what happens to the stock market, which is entirely outside Lord Simpson's control. Assuming he means all other things being equal, it also depends on how much equity he intends to issue in pursuit of his information technology quest.
Lord Simpson and his finance director at GEC, John Mayo, appear to have pulled off a remarkable transformation in their company's affairs. The message hardly needs embellishing in this way.

The app, which already featured content from US news outlets as well as US-related news from UK news outlets, announced the latest development this week.
This means users in the UK, or with their computer set to the UK in language settings, when adding new content to their reader, will now be presented with news sources specifically offering UK-focused content, rather than US-driven news.
According to an announcement by Pulse on its blog users should find content "will switch over automatically if your device is set to the UK" and the latest versions have been downloaded, but users can still "switch between US and UK catalogues".
Ross Siegel, who heads up publisher partnerships at Pulse, told Journalism.co.uk the new feature now means the "dedicated UK interested consumer" can "switch to a content catalogue" focused on their localised news.
The idea, he added, is to curate content topics and publications more in line with United Kingdom readers' interests as differentiated from a US user".
Overall Pulse is aiming "to move this towards a more global marketplace", he added. It is hoped that Pulse will in time be able to offer further dedicated content catalogues for other communities.
In August Pulse launched a web app following user demand. The app was originally launched in 2010 and started on the iPad.

The Horse Forum

- - Combo rugs vs rug + neck rug
Combo rugs vs rug + neck rug So I'm -hopefully- going to be able to get some Zilco winter rugs that are on super good special at present. The combo is a little more expensive cos with the rug they're just chucking in a free neck rug, which is great. I normally get combos (as they're cheaper), and haven't had separates for a long time... so I'm just wondering what is the real difference? Is it just a personal preference or does it help having two parts that can move? My mare does have shoulder weaknesses, and also can get tender over the wither due to not having much of one. Looking at how combos are constructed, I wonder if it all being one piece it could affect those areas more than separates. Since I feel quite uneducated about the benefits/disadvantages of each style, I thought I'd turn to here! Thanks! |
Combos are cheaper, and the neck part isn't going to slip to each side, or over their ears. On the other hand, horses seem to get a lot hotter in combos, and you can't have just the rug. Also, if the neck part is broken it can write off the whole rug, instead of just replacing part. To be honest I don't like either. I prefer a plain rug. |

I love the pictorial throwback. Congrats on 10 years with your husband. Ten years ago, I had just started my own practice.
ReplyDeleteOkay ...ignoring the eyebrows (been there - had them too) but ya'll sure were cute and your eyebrows were on point for your wedding!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wedding photos. Ten years ago I was just starting to learn about the real world. I got a few bumps and bruises along the way. Turns out my mom REALLY DOES know what she is taking about and her advice is golden. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...living above a retail center - trouble!
Before I got to the end of the post I was stuck on your and your husband's teeth! I was thinking, "man, they're teeth are perfect."
The last picture brought it all together! LOL!
Ten years ago, I had just recently moved to LA to pursue my dream of working in entertainment TV. Best. Decision. Ever. :)
Oh I love how you did this with pictures! Awesome! Ten years ago I was in college. Not yet a lawyer, not yet attached. I was basically a different person!

College Men "Drunk and Drowned?" Maybe Not
University of Minnesota college student Chris Jenkins was found in the Mississippi River in February of 2003. Minneapolis Police began investigating the case, which also caught the attention of two retired NYPD detectives.
Turns out, Jenkins' death was the missing part of the puzzle for Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte. They think Jenkins connects dozens of other deaths around the country over the last decade.
The stories are the same all over the country--an athletic, intelligent, well-liked college student goes missing. Family and friends launch a massive search. Weeks or months later, the young man is discovered drowned.
Gannon and Duarte are a retired NYPD detectives.
The investigation started 11 years ago in New York when then-Sgt. Gannon made a promise to the parents of Patrick McNeill.
Patrick McNeill was last seen at a New York City bar in 1997. His body was found 50 days later, 11 miles downriver.
"I think it is a serial killer, but not one individual. I would just say, a group of individuals, probably located in more than one state," Duarte said, adding that he thinks they may kill again.
While most local investigations focused on where a body was recovered, Gannon and Duarte tried to figure out where the body went into the river.
City after city, when they'd find the spot where the body went into the water, they would find something else: The symbol of a smiley faceCity after city, when they'd find the spot where the body went in, they would find something else: The symbol of a smiley face
In Michigan, they found something strange among the group's graffiti: the word 'Sinsiniwa.' They couldn't figure out what it meant until a few months later when they arrived in Dubuque, Iowa to investigate the death of Matt Kruziki.
This could be interesting. The detectives think that there could be as many as 40 (!!!) related deaths nationally, most of which are near the Canadian border and extending south as far as NYC and Chicago.
One of the potential related victims is Luke Homan of Brookfield.

This is interesting, but I still believe most, if not all the drownings in and around LaCrosse were so drunk that they fell into the water and drowned.
- Amy said...
This *will* be interesting, especially for those who think there's more to this than meets the eye...
Do college kids get drunk? Yeah. Do tragedies happen? Certainly. But it's too much of a coincidence for me that so many young men end up in the river after a night of drinking... - 4/28/2008 8:41 AM
All believers in GOD knows this:
"It was their time"
These kids would have died anyway, no matter what because it was in GODS plan.
Only a jew-atheist would question the word/works of GOD.
There's nothing any of us could do, so it's best just to leave matters as GOD intended, Amy! - 4/28/2008 3:20 PM
- Amy said...
What a load of bull. Way to try and throw my *faith* against me. But here's a newsflash: Murder is never in "God's plan".
Murder is a sin. It shows a gross ignorance (willful or otherwise) of basic theology to claim believers in God have to accept murder as "His plan". - 4/29/2008 6:57 AM
- Charlie said...
THANKS for covering this awful story. How sad -- and creepy! On my blog, The Sope-Bocks, there is a list of potential victims' names, along with a couple of theories -- and lots of other stuff related to the Smiley Face Gang. I may have missed some evidence available to the public, but no other blog has more data available right now.
BTW, Huffpo, WebSleuths and a coupla others are developing the story, too. I think the you, me and other bloggers are going to crack the case -- sooner or later. At least, that's my hope! - 5/01/2008 2:20 AM

Krugmann's Grill, Restaurant Cape Town
Share this page! | |
The Krugmann's Grill is warmly tucked at the Kings Warehouse of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. The deco is too magnificent! Upon entering, one is greeted by an illuminated waterfall which gives off a feeling of calmness, and a sure sign that one's meal is going to be a treat. The Grill also boasts Champagne & Oyster Bar. Needless to say the champagne is some of the finest, and the accompaniment of oysters is quite remarkable. One should always be allowed life's little indulgences!

...livingaftermidniteHey, I wish we were neighbors too, seriously. First, I would want to get a good look at you since you look like a Super Model and then I would want to get into your house and find all of your props you use in your pictures and "borrow" them. :) Hahahahaha!
I love that you do these themed posts because they give me great ideas, especially since my daughter's birthday is on the love day itself. You can bet I will be using this for her party.
Val, you're the best. Thanks for all of the prep and hard work. Love to you,
Shauna xoxoxoxoxoxoSo glad you aren't just doing smoothies! We are so ready for some goodies at our house, but still trying to be good ourselves. Maybe next week just before Valentines. We are off to Cabo so trying to lose a couple before we go.
I just love Muddy Buddies and these are sooo pretty with the pink and red M&Ms mixed in. Definitely a fun and easy and gorgeous treat.

He was the prince of no hearts, she merely a left over princess, who had tried to fight her equals. Now she was locked up behind rotting walls, within castle ruins and beneath silent cellars. Little did he know, and less did he feel. He had everything he was to have, shiny armour and a mighty steed. Nobody asked him to find the right girl, or wield a kingdom like his father before him. Everything he had, but none of it was more than dried leaves on the wind, always separated.She sat in shady rooms, writing shady letters of love, all to him. Her letters, arriving at his gates, would be fondled, touched and scrutinized by all the sanity he had and could muster up. Every single word read, none pierced him.Dark skies, dispersed clouds, meagre sunshine in his futile future. He didn't know, but he was making a fool of himself, more than the lonely girl that tried to reach him from an imprisonment unlike others he could think of.And his attempts at burying his potential were belittled, tried and tested. So he drove the knife further in, wished to cut her throat, lest her beautiful singing would stop by itself. From the outside, she had tried to reach into him. He couldn't deal with it. So without doubt, he seized her, chained her and locked her up in a lost place. In a heart he wasn't supposed to have.

Robert Sietsema at Hazar; Tejal Rao at Ken & Cook
Robert Sietsema
See what NYC's restaurant critics have been up to this week: Robert Sietsema recommends Hazar as a place to take both your carnivore and vegetarian friends. He also crowns Hazar's falafel as the best in the city: "Pleasingly studded with sesame seeds, they're aerodynamically streamlined like Frisbees, so frying produces more crisp surface area proportionate to the interior, and also allows the insides to cook thoroughly. (I, for one, am tired of biting into a falafel and finding it raw inside.) Also in service of crispness, they've been fried darker than usual. Try these, and you might never go back to Mamoun's."
Ken & Cook does not live up to Tejal Rao's expectations. She is sorely disappointed by the desserts, the service, and sometimes the food. "And in many cases, the food struggles," she writes. "On one night, the warm biscuits on a plate of generic fried chicken ($19) were actually inedible, so loaded with baking powder they could qualify as comfort food only under conditions of extreme duress."
Stan Stagner gives NoMad three out of five stars. He takes a liking to most of the dishes but doesn't seem too fond of its signature whole chicken: "This Portlandia-level kabuki -- it is not unusual to witness six or seven chickens on parade simultaneously -- would be more amusing if the dish consistently lived up to the buildup . . . and it's a mere $79, for two."
No stars for Nicoletta by Pete Wells: "There was another reason my table never finished an entire pizza: We lost interest. The style of pizza Mr. White is pursuing emphasizes gut-stretching abundance over flavor. The pies are overburdened conglomerations of cheese, flour, and fistfuls of other stuff; in the end, the elements cancel one another out."
Jay Cheshes also reviews Nicoletta and like Wells, does not like it: "Each pizza feeds two ordinary appetites, but even the best pies -- heavy and grease-soaked -- are like lead going down. Scanning the restaurant, you won't find a table without leftovers to go."
The New Yorker heads out to Biang! in Flushing: "Biang! is still working out its kinks. A quail dish -- the result of a stint Wang did at the French Culinary Institute -- is a nice thought, but it tastes too bland in this spicy company."

4.32 / 5.00 5,904 ViewsYay! After months of waiting, it's finally out!
Please note that, ironically, this cartoon is really different from the preview. Just watch and you'll see...
Second, I made this episode for a contest with which I could win my own freakin' kids TV show on Canadian National TV. So that explains the "lame" (like most of you say) type of humor. More on that soon...
With that said, I'd like to thank all the voice-actors who did a terrific job (I'll list their name in the credits I'll add later on) and also DrNeroCF who worked with me since the beginning of scriptwriting! Rock Rock on, man!
Trivia : From which webcomic did the idea of the possessed fridge come?
Anyway, enjoy the movie, and if you can, please donate!
Well. rounded flash. Good comedy and voices.
Lol. that was a verrrrrrry nice flash. I havent seen something that complete long time ago. It was nice, and the voices are cool.
The animation doesnt seem cheap. and the characters hava a good personality.
I love the fridge man. hilarious.

100% Tempranillo from Haro, Rioja Alta, Rioja, Spain.
SRP of $15 and available for as low as $8 but more commonly around $10. Sample submitted for review.
From the bottle:
"A wine with just one guideline: to be Rioja.
Its character: the fruit and the expression of Tempranillo. Intense, authentic, fresh and delicious.
14.0% Alcohol"
Today's wine comes from Bodegas Bilbainas, the largest vineyard owner in the Rioja Alta subregion. (Rioja is split into 3 subregions: Rioja Alavesa in the north, Rioja Alta to the west and Rioja Baja to the east.) In fact Bodegas Bilbainas, which was founded in 1859, is the 4th largest bodega in all of Rioja and is well respected in and out of the region. Unlike many other wineries they only produce single vineyard wines. As such many of their wines, like today's, take their names from the vineyards where the grapes are grown — Vina Zaco is one of winery's oldest.
The 2010 Vina Zaco Tempranillo begins with loads of perfumed floral notes like violets and lilacs plus licorice, black cherry, a little vanilla and a hint of cinnamon. It's a very enticing aroma. The medium to full-bodied wine tastes really delicious with lots of rich fruit, lots of spice and soft tannins. It ends dry with very good length and features more spice and hints of vanilla under the lingering fruit. Fantastic, especially for $10 or less!

The CEO of a tech firm in Turkey has laid a new claim to being the best boss in the world after giving his employees £17 million in bonuses following the sale of the company.
Nevzat Aydin, the boss of Turkey's biggest online food ordering service Yemeksepeti, said his company was under no contractual obligation to reward its 114 employees following a £375 million acquisition by Germany-based giant Delivery Hero.
But speaking to the Hurriyet newspaper, Mr Aydin said he pushed for the bonuses of more than £150,000 per employee because "if there is a success, we have accomplished it together".
The profit-sharing gesture was thought to be a first among Turkish businesses, and comes 15 years after Mr Aydin set up the company with just £50,000 in 2000.

Mr Aydin, who will be staying on at Yemeksepeti after its acquisition as a member of the Delivery Hero management team, said there had been an emotional reaction among employees whose monthly wages generally range between £700 and £1,200.
He told Hurriyet: "Some employees cried, some screamed, some wrote letters of thanks. There were emotions, because you affect the lives of the people. People can buy homes, cars."
Nedim Nahmias was one of those to be rewarded, after 10 years at the company working his way up from a call centre operator to chief operating officer.
Speaking of when Mr Aydin revealed his intentions, he told CNN Money: "The conversation became very emotional for both of us. This bonus package is life-changing to many of us."
Profit-sharing pay-outs are not unheard of, but giving workers on relatively modest incomes amounts that dwarf the average Wall Street bonus is exceptionally rare.

2/30 This little boy loves books so much that he cries when his mother stops reading to him
A good book can keep a child entertained for hours, but there aren't many that can actually make babies cry when they end. That's exactly what happened to one little boy, who looks completely engrossed while his mother reads him the book 'I Am a Bunny', a classic children's book about the pattern of the seasons. However, when the story ends and his mother closes the book, he immediately begins crying. The only thing that seems to placate him is opening the book at the beginning and reading the story again. It's heartening to see such a little child so completely in love with a book, but it must get a little wearing for his parents after a while

A young woman has brought attention to the invisibility of depression - by getting a tattoo which sends out two opposing messages depending on how you look at it.

Bekah Miles, a 21-year-old US student who has struggled with depression for some years, got the inking on her leg to start a conversation about mental health and give voice to her experience

4/30 Teen goes to extraordinary lengths to give autistic twin the high school graduation to remember
A teenager has earned herself an army of fans after she finally reached her goal to help her severely autistic twin brother across the stage at their high school graduation. Anders Bonville, 18, from Birmingham, Alabama, was diagnosed with autism when he was two, which left him non-verbal but – along with his sister, Aly – the pair developed their own unique language and set out to alter perceptions of the condition. Aly was called first on-stage to receive her diploma. With her brother being walked quietly behind a curtained area in his wheelchair to keep him calm, she quickly exited to get him before his name was called out. Aly zoomed down the hallway with her brother in his wheelchair so that he would be happy when the big moment came. Although the principal had ordered the audience to hold all applause until the end – the moment Aly took her brother's hand and led him across the stage – the entire hall rose to its feet and erupted into applause – including the principal herself

5/30 'Forrest Gump' completes 42 back-to-back marathons
A man has completed 42 back-to-back marathons – while dressed as Forrest Gump. Ewan Gordon, 42, from Oxfordshire, copied the popular film character by growing out his hair and beard to complete the 1,050-mile challenge in memory of nine-year-old Thomas Laurie who died last year. Thomas suffered from Cockayne Syndrome – a rare premature ageing disease – which is known to affect just 100 youngsters in the UK. Mr Gordon, a civil servant, ran about 26 miles each day (42km) – the equivalent of a marathon a day – for 42 days, from John O'Groats to Land's End. He said he was inspired to adopt the quirky persona following a bet when a friend said he would sponsor Mr Gordon more money for his charity run if he did

8/30 Guide dog jumps in front of oncoming bus to save blind owner
When Figo the service dog saw an oncoming mini school bus heading for Audrey Stone, the blind woman he was trained to guide, the golden retriever's protective instincts kicked in: He threw himself at the closest part of the vehicle he could. Police photos show the result: fur stuck to the front driver's side wheel and in the middle of Michael Neuner Avenue in New York, where the bus came to a stop after striking the pair. The driver of the Brewster school bus, carrying two kindergartners to St. Lawrence O'Toole Childhood Learning Center, told police he didn't see the pair crossing the road as they made their way home at about 8:15 Monday morning. But Figo saw the bus coming and leapt into action

Ms Eden, from Sydney, said the alleged tirade began "a good ten minutes" before she started filming the woman, later uploading the video on to her Facebook page. Footage from the alleged incident began as the unnamed passenger asked the woman, who was also sat with a pram on the opposite side of the train, "why do you wear it [a hijab] for a man that marries a six year-old girl?" The woman and the man remained silent, but Ms Eden responded: "She wears it for herself, OK? She wears it because she wants to be modest with her body, not because of people like you who are going to sit there and disrespect her"

The man, named Robbie, offered a 22-year-old student £3 to help her get home safely after a night out - and now she is hoping to raise enough money to help him off the streets
In April, US businessman JC Huizenga gave 570 employees almost $6 million (£3.8 million) after the sale of two companies.
And in 1999, American entrepreneur Bob Thompson gave his 550 workers at Grand Rapids Asphalt in Michigan $128 million (£80 million) in bonuses ranging from $200 to more than $1 million per employee.
Speaking to CNN Money, a spokesperson for Delivery Hero said the bonus plan had been decided before the acquisition, but that the new parent company had approved of the idea.
"The success of companies like Delivery Hero and Yemeksepeti is based on amazing company cultures where tremendous people always walk the extra mile," spokesman Bodo von Braunmuehl said.

Spruce up your home for Christmas guests
Here are some ideas to decorate your house to get it into the holiday spirit.
Scripps Howard News Service
The holiday season is upon us. Twinkling lights everywhere indicate that Christmas is coming very soon, but it's not too late for some home-decorating ideas before the big day.
Let's start with the front door. After all, that is the first thing guests see when they come to your house. If your front door is white or gray, accent it with colors such as deep green, bright red or gold.
Garlands with red ribbons and twinkling lights can be seen from a distance, so guests and neighbors can enjoy the view as they approach your home.
Do you have a double door? Two-piece wreaths are becoming more popular — half the wreath goes on one door and the other half on the other door. When the doors are closed, you have one big wreath.
To create one yourself, start with a large wreath — either a store-bought version or one you make yourself.
Cut the wreath in half with sturdy wire cutters. Securely hang the halves on each door so that when the doors are closed, the centers of the wreath meet. Decorate the wreath with ornaments or ribbon.
If you have stairs inside or out, wrap them with spiraling garland and lights. Or simply place big, red Christmas bows at intervals on the handrail.
The kitchen is always a hot spot with guests at Christmas, so why not decorate it? Pendant lights can be quickly dressed up for Christmas with garlands that start at the ceiling and finish at the lamp part of the pendant.
This decoration is up and out of the way, so the kitchen's island and counters are available for food and other goodies.

Some time ago I spoke to a-20-year old woman who wanted to talk to me about her belief that she is "asexual". Unlike her friends she's never had a boyfriend and she isn't really interested. She had discovered the Asexual Visibility & Educational Network (AVEN) website, and she thought: maybe that's what my problem is, I must be asexual.
The AVEN website was launched in 2001 by then 19-year-old student David Jay in Connecticut, with the goal of creating public acceptance and discussion of asexuality. When he was a teenager Jay discovered he wasn't sexually attracted to anybody and decided his sexual orientation was asexual. He came out about this to his parents and friends and declared that his sexuality was as valid an orientation as being straight, bisexual or gay.
Jay was featured in The New York Times and appeared on multiple television shows and, with his good looks, became the poster boy for the movement. In 2004 New Scientist magazine in Britain ran a six-page feature that made the movement even more popular. Jay appeared on several BBC radio stations and in 2005 he was featured in a movie (A)sexual Not everybody is doing it.
Relatively little research has been conducted into asexuality and there are no reliable statistics of the numbers of people who identify as such. Most research has been done by the asexual community itself. The AVEN on-line community, after 13 years, has between 50,000 and 60,000 members.
Professor Anthony Bogaert, a consultant at Brock University in Canada, analysed the responses of 18,000 people in Britain to a1994 survey on sexual attraction. He believes that asexuals are under-studied and can feel excluded from our very over-sexualised culture. The result was the publication of his book Understanding Asexuality in 2012.
Another researcher, Canadian sexologist Dr Lori Brotto, who specialises in women with low sexual desire, found evidence in a 2010 study that asexual women have a similar genital response to stimuli as sexual women - in other words a comparable sexual arousal response, partly explained in this video. Research shows there are more women than men identifying as asexual and that asexual men are more likely to masturbate regularly than asexual women.
An asexual person who masturbates regularly may still find interpersonal sex acts off-putting or just baffling. Some think sex is disgusting but they may like other intimate activities such as hugging, kissing or cuddling, but they don't desire intercourse.
Alfred Kinsey, the father of sexology, developed the Kinsey scale to illustrate that human beings fall along a continuum in their sexual orientation and behaviours, from 0 (exclusively heterosexual) to 6 (exclusively homosexual).
The asexual community believes that unlike celibacy, which is a choice, asexuality is not and they want asexuality to be recognised as the fourth sexual orientation.
The literal definition of asexuality means "without sexuality" but it is not possible to be without sexuality. We are all sexual beings from the day we are born until the day we die and whether or not we act on this is a choice.
However what is important is, why someone wants to identify as asexual - I believe people who claim to be asexual should explore a full range of possibilities that may affect their sexual desire. A number of things could be going on, but a person's sexuality will always be present.
I've read many articles about this phenomenon and these are some of the statements made by asexual men and women between 18 and 25, who were interviewed:
"I enjoy physical contact, and I don't find sex offensive. I just don't want to interfere with someone else's bits and pieces or have them interfere with mine."
"For me, sex is revulsion, it really is, just ugh, cuddling is OK but not kissing."
"I don't want to marry, nor have children, because of the sex involved!"
"The thought of penetration, of being touched or having to touch someone makes me shudder."
Statements such as these are not that uncommon; conditions like sex-phobia and sexual aversion disorder (SAD) do exist. In the counselling sessions with my client, I discovered the reason she was not interested in having a boyfriend: unconsciously, she was petrified of having intercourse.
For some women the thought of sexual intercourse may cause extreme anxiety or a panic attack. They fear that sex may hurt, feel embarrassed about the look of their vaginas, will be fearful of being naked in front of somebody else or of having to touch a penis.
The same can happen to young men who may experience some sort of sexual dysfunction that turns into performance anxiety, which then turns into avoiding sex.
I don't want to criticise the AVEN movement, but I'd like to suggest to any young person who is not quite sure, that sexuality is as normal as breathing. Do some exploring, take your time, there is no need to give yourself a label, embrace an identity or feel the necessity to join a community.

With wireless devices and wireless networks, sharing files is a breeze, and if you want to share files from your flash drive or SD card, today we have wireless router that might interest you.
If you've got the latest iPhone 3G, you will be aware that it's capable of a much faster internet connection compared to the first generation iPhone as long as you're not heavily limited by your ISP. This is why the folks over at June Fabrics Technology decided to exploit this by moving on their popular PdaNet application from Palm and Windows Mobile, towards the iPhone.
With the latest PdaNet for iPhone 3G, you will be able to turn your iPhone into a wireless router, sharing your iPhone's wireless internet connection with nearby WiFi compatible gadgets and computers.
The only downside is that your iPhone will need to be jailbroken in order for this application to work, also it's abit heavy on your iPhone's battery! More info is available here…

First of all, let me apologize for dropping the blogging ball (again). But I'm back, with a bunch of pictures from the past few weeks, that I will post with frequency during the next few weeks (and maybe I'll throw some current pics in the mix as well).
So, you all know Whitney. She got married, remember? (No? Refresh your memory here and here.) Anyways, as we all know, the honeymoon can't last forever (especially when you're in England and the exchange rate is so crappy) so she came back. And we had a present waiting for her!
It was a blanket! We have all been making navy blue squares and Jane and I crocheted them all together. We even used the yarn Whitney used to knit her wedding shrug.

Joseph Rodman Drake
Fragments - Poem by Joseph Rodman Drake
Tuscara! thou art lovely now,
Thy woods, that frown'd in sullen strength
Like plumage on a giant's brow,
Have bowed their massy pride at length.
The rustling maize is green around,
The sheep is in the Congar's bed;
And clear the ploughman's whistlings sound
Where war-whoop's pealed o'er mangled dead.
Fair cots around thy breast are set,
Like pearls upon a coronet;
And in Aluga's vale below
The gilded grain is moving slow
Like yellow moonlight on the sea,
Where waves are swelling peacefully;
As beauty's breast, when quiet dreams
Come tranquilly and gently by;
When all she loves and hopes for seems
To float in smiles before her eye.
And hast thou lost the grandeur rude
That made me breathless, when at first
Upon my infant sight you burst,
The monarch of the solitude?
No; there is yet thy turret rock,
The watch-tower of the skies, the lair
Of Indian Gods, who, in the shock
Of bursting thunders, slumbered there;
And trim thy bosom is arrayed
In labour's green and glittering vest,
And yet thy forest locks of shade
Shake stormy on that turret crest.
Still hast thou left the rocks, the floods,
And nature is the loveliest then,
When first amid her caves and woods
She feels the busy tread of men;
When every tree, and bush, and flower,
Springs wildly in its native grace;
Ere art exerts her boasted power,
That brightened only to deface.
Yes! thou art lovelier now than ever;
How sweet 'twould be, when all the air
In moonlight swims, along thy river
To couch upon the grass, and hear
Niagara's everlasting voice,
Far in the deep blue west away;
That dreaming and poetic noise
We mark not in the glare of day,
Oh! how unlike its torrent-cry,
When o'er the brink the tide is driven,
As if the vast and sheeted sky
In thunder fell from heaven.
Were I but there, the daylight fled,
With that smooth air, the stream, the sky,
And lying on that minstrel bed
Of nature's own embroidery
With those long tearful willows o'er me,
That weeping fount, that solemn light,
With scenes of sighing tales before me,
And one green, maiden grave in sight;
How mournfully the strain would rise
Of that true maid, whose fate can yet
Draw rainy tears from stubborn eyes;
From lids that ne'er before were wet.
She lies not here, but that green grave
Is sacred from the plough -- and flowers,
Snow-drops, and valley-lilies, wave
Amid the grass; and other showers
Than those of heaven have fallen there.

Federal law does not require federal contractors to notify employees of potential layoffs ahead of potential January budget cuts under sequestration, GovExec reports.
Citing a Monday Labor Department notice, Tom Shoop reports those notices are not consistent with the 1988 Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act.
That law, also known as the WARN Act, requires employers to notify workers of future mass layoffs 60 days ahead of time.
In its notice, the department's Employment and Training Administration told state workforce agencies the WARN Act does not apply to the sequester because it is uncertain whether a sequester will occur or not.
DOL officials said sequestration is not necessarily foreseeable because efforts are underway to prevent it from happening.
If sequestration starts, those cuts would be sudden and dramatic, not requiring contractors to send notices as required by the WARN Act, according to Shoop's report.
A group of senators has asked several large contracting firms to outline potential job losses resulting from sequestration cuts and possible contracts that would be either modified or terminated as a result of the cuts.

Ahoy Matey Quilt
With me having little girls, it's pretty rare to see me sewing for a little boy... but one of my friends just had her very first baby boy last week and I couldn't resist making the new little guy a quilt.
I can't even tell you how much I love this Ahoy Matey fabric by Michael Miller . When I saw that it had a panel and that it was so darling, I knew that I wanted to try making a quilt using a panel. Usually I am not a huge fan of panel quilts, but this one may have changed my mind.
To make it, I used one panel (which is the main part of the quilt with the ship and waves on it), and then I used the Navy Stay the Course fabric for the side sashing, and Dumb Dot in Clementine for the prairie points, Clementine Ship Shape for the binding, and then Quarter Dot in Midnight for the backing.
I have been wanting to try doing prairie points on a quilt and I felt like this was the perfect quilt for it. I found an awesome tutorial for continuous prairie points on Sew Take a Hike. It was such an easy tutorial to follow! Love how they turned out!
As soon as I saw the panel for this quilt, I knew that I wanted to hand stitch along the outlines of everything. I love the way it looks around the waves, clouds, and boat. Once I washed it and dried it, oh my goodness!! I was in love... it was a tad bit hard to part with this lovely quilt. ha ha
But lucky me... I happened to buy two panels and have just enough leftover fabric to make myself this exact quilt- should a little bundle of blue pop up into my future.... And if not, I am sure I can find a loving home for such a darling little quilt- don't ya think? :)
Happy Sailing!
xoxo, Ashley

LOVE this quilt!! All of that handwork make this quilt out of this world special. I also really love the prairie points. I am generally pretty intimidated with quilting but I am pinning this and maybe someday I will recreate something for a friend. Either way it's eye candy until that day ;)

Very nice, we celebrate imbolc, which is the Pagan origin of Candlemas (it seems like almost every Christian holiday has a Pagan origin!);)
ReplyDelete Regarding the comment by "Anonymous," many Christmas holidays do have pagan origins. I like to think that people across all of time have been identify and celebrating what is beautiful and amazing in nature. When Christians came along, they recognized the same beauty and wonder and put the name of the God they (we) love on those things. Some Christians have trouble with the pagan roots of many of our traditions, but I relish the common ground and the eternal search for ways to understand God.
Once again I am enchanted and delighted by your writing and your photographs. I would love to read more about your experiences at the new Church. We are lapsed Catholics searching for a new faith community...from what I understand Episcopalism is similar to Catholicism in ritual and faith, yet is more progressive.Oh Rebecca, this was such a beautiful beautiful post! I too so look forward to this coming season of rebirth. And it is certainly worth celebrating the seeds stirring deep in the ground and the wonderful light that is growing!
I don't think I ever mentioned wither, I LOVE! your snowdrop fairy!!!
Love to you! XOXO

David Frum is right to attack the growing Republican orthodoxy that "nothing is wrong with this country that cannot be solved by abolishing the capital gains tax." He should take the argument a little further: a fixation on taxes above everything else–regulatory policy and excellence in provision of necessary government services in particular–has done enormous damage to the conservative cause.

The Nominee Will Be Romney and the GOP Will Like Him
Eli Lehrer November 1st, 2011 at 10:02 am 26 Comments
Although I'm hardly optimistic that he'll take the presidency, there's every reason to think that Mitt Romney is going win the Republican nomination and attract the votes of his own party members.
Thus, while I would still bet on Obama to win reelection, I disagree with David Frum's contention that Romney's current level of support in his own party ought to be a topic of concern.
More Corporate Speech, Less Rancor
Eli Lehrer October 28th, 2011 at 3:36 pm 129 Comments
I couldn't agree more with Joe Trotter's points about corporate speech. (For a variety of other reasons, I think that we should not tax corporations either.) I'd actually go a step further: more corporate speech would be good for the political tone of the country.
There is Nothing Simple About Perry's Tax Plan
Eli Lehrer October 25th, 2011 at 3:04 pm 31 Comments
Rick Perry's proposal to make his flat-rate tax plan optional seems like a political master-stroke: it lets him propose the type of flat-rate, broad-based tax plan that most economists like while simultaneously promising that nobody will need to pay more.
Nice as this sounds, however, it actually undermines the simplification that is supposed to come from a flat tax.
We Can't Bail Out College Students
Eli Lehrer October 24th, 2011 at 1:10 pm 112 Comments
The 'Occupy' movement protesters all over the country are angry above all else. Their demands remain unclear, but calls for total (or partial) forgiveness of student loans seem to be a constant among those waiving angry signs. As most Occupy prostesters are either students or recent college graduates, this demand isn't surprising.
Whatever its merits (and I'd argue that the merits are slight) it's interesting to look at the demand for what it is: a request for more corporate welfare.
More Problems With Ron Paul's Budget
Eli Lehrer October 21st, 2011 at 11:20 am 41 Comments
Kenneth Silber is right to criticize Ron Paul's proposal to abolish five federal agencies. That said, medical the specific example he picks, cheap weather satellites, sale is, to me, only modestly compelling. Private companies are already involved in both the satellite launch business and the weather prediction business. I have my doubts but maybe weather satellite privatization could work. The worst details of Paul's plan are found elsewhere.
The Rookie as the Nominee
Eli Lehrer October 17th, 2011 at 12:32 am 17 Comments
Consider this scenario: During midterm elections, pilule voters deliver a stinging rebuke to a Democratic President whose plans to rescue a country from a serious downturn appear to have failed. This leads to record Republican pickups in the House of Representatives.
As an economy that once appeared to be on the mend enters a double-dip recession, sovaldi sale a never-before-elected Republican businessman who first rose to prominence with harsh criticism of a Democratic President's efforts to increase government control over a vital sector of the economy emerges as the winner in the debates and thus goes from fringe candidate to contender in a divided Republican Party's nominating contest.
'Democracy Denied' is the Guide to Fighting Over-Regulation
Eli Lehrer October 13th, 2011 at 12:50 am 63 Comments
Phil Kerpen's Democracy Denied ($24.95 in hardcopy; $9.99 for Kindle) Is a none-too-long book that, if widely read (which it deserves to be) would provide something that's absent from today's politics: a coherent and useful agenda for the Tea Party and its fellow travelers. Kerpen's manifesto-like book, more than anything else, aims to focus the Tea Party on the excesses of government regulation.
Why Food Stamps Don't Pay for Healthy Meals
Eli Lehrer October 11th, 2011 at 12:03 am 44 Comments
I applaud Monica Marier's commitment and the good intentions of Sesame Street's producers in drawing trying to draw attention to child hunger in the United States. Certainly, far too many children grow up in bad circumstances in the United States and some of these circumstances relate to food.
The Tea Party of the Left? Sort Of.
Eli Lehrer October 10th, 2011 at 1:00 pm 63 Comments
More than a few commentators and reporters have tried to brand the Occupy Movement as a Tea Party of the Left. On its surface, order the analogy has some compelling aspects: both movement emphasize rage over a rational, patient forward-looking policy agenda. Both claim to speak for the "little guy" but are actually populated by people with above average levels of education and (at least in the case of the Tea Party–there are no surveys I know of that related to the Occupy Movement) income. Both are also, best as I can tell, authentic grass-roots movements without any sinister puppet-master behind them.
As opposing political forces, the two groups may well be a good pairing. But, already, some real differences are apparent. Three stand out:

Average critic rating : 96.0 points
96A nose of black raspberries interwoven with floral notes of blackcurrants and spice jump from the glass of this dense ruby/plum/purple wine. This famous vineyard at the northern end of Napa Valley, which in this era was owned by Bart and Daphne Araujo (today owned by François Pinault, the proprietor of Château Latour), can certainly make the argument that it's one of the first growths of Napa Valley. Sweet, velvety tannin, medium to full body, and extraordinary complexity and elegance characterize this wine, which is seamless and drinking beautifully. While not one of their longest-lived vintages, the balance and purity suggest that, while it may be entering its fully mature stage, it certainly can keep going for another 10-15 years. The finish is easily 40 seconds-plus. |||Araujo Estate Wines, Tel. (707) 942-6061 eRobertParker.com.June, 2015 |
Located in the northeast Napa Valley, just east of Calistoga, the Araujo Estate (which includes the famed 35 acre Eisele Vineyard) is principally dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon. Originally planted in the 1880s and broadly dedicated to Zinfandel and Riesling, it was replanted in favour of Cabernet in 1964 and its wines are today renowned for their distinctive elegance and finesse.
For the past 23 years, Daphne and Bart Araujo have been committed to raising the property up to the status of California "First Growth". Producing their first vintage of Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon in 1991, this inaugural wine was declared "an unqualified success" by Robert Parker, and they have gone from strength to strength ever since.
Organic and biodynamic, the estate is dedicated to the emphasis of terroir. Although the Cabernet is unquestionably the most celebrated of the range, their Syrah is equally compelling, described by Antonio Galloni as "easily one of the finest Syrahs being made in Napa Valley"
Purchased in 2013 by The Artemis Group – owners of Chateau Latour – Araujo and the Eisele Vineyard now sit beneath the same impressive umbrella as a variety of world-class wineries in Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhone.

Dubious Achievers - Florida Newsmakers of the Year
Attorney, Fort Lauderdale
[Photo: Miami Herald] |
Scott Rothstein's $1.2-billion fraud actually disintegrated in late 2009, when he briefly fled to Morocco before returning to face the music. In 2010, he got a 50-year sentence, now being served in protective custody in parts unknown. The 48-year-old got gaudily rich thanks to a fraud involving phony settlements. And what class: "I don't want the feds to f------ have it. It's not their money. They didn't steal it. I did it," he said, according to the Sun-Sentinel's transcript of a conversation Rothstein had while working as a fed informer. The guy he was trying to sting, Roberto Settineri, a Miami Beach wine seller with alleged ties to a Sicilian crime family, in fact got stung and wound up sentenced to four years. The fallout continues from the implosion of Rothstein's 70-lawyer firm, Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler, as defrauded investors and authorities go after whomever they can.

Google Chrome 18 has just landed as a stable release, and while it has the usual mix of minor tweaks and security fixes, the real news this time comes in its graphics improvements.
Part of this comes from the browser enabling GPU-accelerated rendering for 2D Canvas content, which could bring a real performance boost to canvas-based animations and games. (Or that's the plan, anyway. If you have any issues, or just want to find out what's happening on your system, then entering chrome://gpu will give you more information on the browser's current GPU acceleration usage.)
And if you're running Chrome on an older system then you've probably already noticed that it can't display rich 3D content via technologies such as WebGL. But that all changes with Chrome 18, thanks to the inclusion of SwiftShader, a software rasterizer which automatically activates for users who can't run content on the GPU.
While this kind of software solution is never going to compete with a real GPU, SwiftShader is fast enough to be genuinely useful. As the authors point out, the system can be 100 times faster than basic implementations, like Microsoft's Direct3D Reference Rasterizer, and is even quicker than some integrated graphics hardware. So although you're not going to want to play Call of Duty with it, for 3D web content the technology makes a great deal of sense.
Other changes are less newsworthy, though still important, as they include a lengthy list of bug fixes and resolutions for some notable security issues. A post on the Google Chrome Releases blog tells you more, if you're interested, or you can download Google Chrome 18 now.
